Datang Library

Chapter 508
In the palace, Li Yuan and Li Er sneered as they read the letter from Baiqisi.

"The Tubo boy made a lot of money this time and went back. He really should have killed him in the prison early." Li Yuan was a little unwilling.

Li Er persuaded with a smile: "Father, the matter of immortal food is very important now. The lives of a few thieves are nothing more than the lives of a few thieves. The fact that Tubo Songtsan Gampo can offer a national treasure to buy him back shows the determination to save people. If we really kill him at this time If they get rid of them and lead to a war between the two countries, then the side of Xianliang will be even more dangerous."

"Hey! That's Datang's hundred steelmaking technology. Let the barbarians learn it, and it will not be good for Datang."

"It doesn't matter, they have hundreds of steel-making plants, and we have thousands of steel-making plants. Jian Jian has secretly built a steel-making blast furnace, and soon there will be no shortage of refined steel in Datang. They think they will be invincible after learning from us. Three years later, when we have food in hand, it will be time to collect debts from them." Li Er waved his big hand and said proudly.

Li Yuan nodded, and said bitterly: "Those collaborators in the court, it's time to clean up, eat food and sell food to the country for money, and not one will be left behind."

"Father, don't worry, none of the villains can escape. Don't you just say, are you going to leave those aliens to Chengqian and the others? If the opponent is too weak, how can we train our son? So this is why we know that Lu Dongzan We let him take everything he took away, and everything is under our control, Lu Dongzan? The wise man of the mountain? It’s just a joke in front of you and me.”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan and his son laughed together.

Li Yuan and Li Er have been watching these gangsters since the ex-Shangshu samurai of the Ministry of Industry found out about the misconduct in Tubo. It is clear that everything is under the control of the two of them.

It's just that he misjudged the strength of Zhongnan Academy at the beginning, which led to the burning of the library. This made Li Er feel painful when he thought about it.

When Chang'an was in full swing for the matter of Xianliang, a situation occurred at Cheng Yaojin far in the northeast, which can be said to be a very serious crisis.

At the beginning, Datang quickly captured the five cities of Goguryeo—Liaodong City, Anshi City, Jian'an City, Jili City, and Beisha City—with lightning-like means. Since then, it has occupied the Liaodong Peninsula, and put Datang's blade on the tip of Goguryeo's nose. However, the [-] Tang troops guarded the five cities firmly, and under the condition of watching and helping each other, Goguryeo was completely unable to regain them.

But it is different now, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Khitan, and Mohe secretly joined forces.

When the Khitan envoys were massacred by two hundred guards in Zhongnan Academy, they had already sent a letter to the Khitan king to fight for revenge, but how dare the Khitan?Photographed in the military might of the Tang Dynasty, he also wrote back to reprimand Yelubao who was sent as an envoy.

Later, after all the envoys were detained by the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan had no choice but to come up with no money, so they had to discuss with Goguryeo and Mohe to attack the Northeast Army of the Tang Dynasty, so as to capture the prisoners and exchange them for envoys.

In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda guarded the Liaodong Peninsula. Cheng Yaojin guarded Liaodong City, and Niu Jinda guarded Beisha City. They echoed each other from head to tail. They have been in peace for two years, and Cheng Yaojin went out to hunt from time to time, and went to Goguryeo. It can be said that it is quite arrogant to buy some specialty products.

On this day, Cheng Yaojin was having a banquet with his subordinates at the Lord's Mansion of Liaodong City, when he saw a bloody messenger rush in.

"General help!
Beisha City is besieged and is in dire straits. General please rescue quickly. I am afraid that General Niu will be in danger if you arrive late. "

What? ? ?
Cheng Yaojin stood up with a bang, and even turned over the table in front of him. Seeing that it was the letter from Niu Jinda's first lieutenant in person, he knew something was wrong, and angrily shouted: "What happened, tell me quickly."

The deputy general cried and said: "Three days ago, Goguryeo suddenly surrounded Beisha City with an army of [-] and began to attack the city violently. General Niu knew the situation was urgent when he saw the enemy's fierceness and he did not see Jili City from the north for help. So at the end of the night, when he was about to fall out of the city, he rushed to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, the last general passed by along the way to know that the reinforcements from Jili City were blocked by [-] Goguryeo thieves and they were not allowed to go south. Even the reinforcements from Jian'an City were unable to pass. Time to report.

General, I beg you to send your troops quickly to rescue General Niu. The enemy is powerful and must be rushing to break the city. "

Everyone has understood, Cheng Yaojin stopped talking, "Come here, take Vice General Hu to rest and recuperate.

Brothers, Goguryeo thieves are so daring?Dare to offend my Tang Dynasty, I agree, quickly raise [-] troops, leave [-] to defend the city, and we will go south to rescue the old cow.

I believe it only takes three days, Lao Niu will be able to hold on, when the time comes, we will collect soldiers and horses all the way, and we will cooperate with the inside and outside, so that Goguryeo Bangzi can see the military power of Datang.

Go to the army quickly, and the army will be dispatched in two hours. "

The [-] troops stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula for two years, there is nothing to do, daily hunting and training, hoarding food and grass by the way, after two years, each city has a lot of food and grass, so the army is dispatched, and there is no need to worry about transporting food for short-term battles , as long as the city is not broken, it can be said that there will be food wherever Cheng Yaojin takes his people.

At the head of Beisha city, Niu Jinda was already covered in blood, not his own blood, but the blood spurted by the enemy who rushed to the city head and was killed by him.

Niu Jinda's name is Niu Xiu, and his style name is Jinda. He was a rare fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty. He is 36 years old this year. He is confident that holding on for ten days is not a problem.

"General, the sudden arrival of the enemy this time, and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Jili City and Jian'an City in the north, could something have happened to Lao Hu?"

Another lieutenant beside him wiped the blood on the knife while worrying.

The old Hu he was talking about was Deputy General Hu who was going to report the letter. It was already night, and the two sides were resting after the battle, and they were hurrying to recuperate. Every day in the offensive and defensive battles, Datang had to pay at least a thousand losses, and Goguryeo came this time. The people are extremely brave, and the soldiers and horses are also elite, so the battle loss is only one to two, and Goguryeo's daily loss is less than three thousand, which makes Niu Jinda feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Shaking his head, he said: "The enemy will not ignore our two cities' mutual horns. Someone must have stopped the reinforcements from Jili City. As for Lao Hu, hey! I hope nothing will happen. At this time, we will fight together and report to the north. It's a narrow escape.

But our five cities are connected, even if Lao Hu didn't report the news, General Beifang will know the news within five days, so as long as we hold on for ten days, there will be a turning point, tell brothers, the city is there, the people are there, the city Destroyed. "

Niu Jinda's calculations were correct. When Beisha City was guarded for the eighth day, Cheng Yaojin finally arrived with the [-] reinforcements gathered along the way. After passing through Jili City, he encountered [-] Goguryeo troops who prevented the rescue. After killing the other party, Cheng Yaojin didn't wait to think about it, and came straight to Beisha City with his troops.

At this time, there were less than 1 people at the top of Beisha City. The more days passed, the greater the losses every day. When the reinforcements arrived, there were still [-] defenders guarding the city, and it was the limit to be able to block it for another two days.

Seeing a torrent in the north from a distance, with a banner written with Cheng characters on it, Niu Jinda finally smiled on his blood-stained face, reinforcements are coming!
"Brothers, the reinforcements are here, let's fight out with the generals, cooperate inside and outside, and avenge the brothers!"
