The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1216
Cheng Yaojin smiled helplessly after receiving the letter.

"Father, what's the matter again, my child, the people who rushed into the mansion outside are from the Dongshan Hou Mansion, right?" Cheng Chumo happened to come in from outside the hall.

"Yes, it's a letter sent by Jing'er from Daxing City. Gao Zang wants to submit a surrender form to Datang to ask for peace. Jing'er asked the old man to find a way to delay the envoy in Chang'an and buy him more time." Cheng Yao Jin said: "It seems that Jing'er is over there, and the war is progressing pretty well."

"Father, my son has heard that in just one or two months, half of Goguryeo's country has fallen into our Tang Dynasty's control. How arrogant is Wen, and how does he treat Datang?" Cheng Chumo said.

"Isn't Quangai Suwen already dying? If Quangai Suwen is alive and kicking now, Goguryeo will have Gao Zang's turn." Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard.

"Then how does father plan to delay the envoy of Goguryeo?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This matter is simple. When the envoy of Goguryeo comes to Chang'an, many people in the court will agree to Goguryeo's request for peace. At that time, Goguryeo will be nothing more than a It’s just a loss of money, but Your Majesty will definitely not be among those who agree to make peace. Don’t forget that Jing’er wanted to fight Goguryeo, except for the generals in the court, but His Majesty overwhelmed the ministers and agreed to Jing’er to go to Liaodong , who attacked Goguryeo with Xue Rengui."

"Your Majesty didn't pacify Goguryeo three years ago, so he sent troops back to the court. Although Anshicheng was broken, it was already approaching winter at that time. The army had to travel long distances, and it was inconvenient to supply, so he gave up and continued to fight in the direction of Pyongyang city, so to speak. Come on, in fact, His Majesty is also dissatisfied with Goguryeo, and also wants to destroy Goguryeo." Cheng Chumo suddenly realized.

"That's right, Goguryeo is a small frontier country, but its ambition and threat should not be underestimated. The relationship between Datang and Goguryeo should be ended in this battle, otherwise it will be procrastinated." It's unpleasant to procrastinate." Cheng Yaojin said: "Therefore, there is no need to hide what Jing'er entrusted to do for the father, and let the majesty know that in the court hall, the father will join hands with the majesty for a while. Play, anyway, this thing is not once or twice."

What Cheng Yaojin said was not once or twice, but that he pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly in the court hall and cooperated with His Majesty Li Er in acting. Now, is it still the high-ranking officials who give preferential treatment?
Between the monarch and his ministers, they just need each other. To put it bluntly, they are used by each other. Cheng Yaojin is of value to the court and to His Majesty Li Er, so he has a talent in the court. portion.

"I will change clothes and go to the palace for my father in a while, and you will stay at the mansion for now, don't go out yet." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Yes." Cheng Chu silently responded.

Today, in the waters near the Sanhan Peninsula, Silla was beaten by the sea coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje so much that they dare not even leave their homes, but on the ground, Baekje was beaten by Su Dingfang.

Baekje decided to send envoys to Goguryeo to ask Goguryeo for help. The current Baekje Wang Yici didn't know that Goguryeo had sent Ren Wu into the Tang Dynasty to go to Chang'an to lower the table.

Su Dingfang decided to let the army cross the sea to attack Baekje again. This time, Liu Boying's navy fleet was used to transport soldiers. After Baekje learned of Su Dingfang's actions, he deployed troops at the mouth of the Xiongjin River to resist the Tang army.

In the early morning, Liu Boying's naval fleet arrived at the Jiangkou. Su Dingfang's army was intercepted by the Baekje army as soon as they got off the ship.

As the battle continued, more and more Baekje soldiers fled. At the end of the fight, the Tang army wanted to kill the enemy, but they had to run after the Baekje army with knives. Seeing this, Su Dingfang quickly ordered the guards.

Don't chase after the poor.

Su Dingfang led his troops to kill more than [-] Baekje troops in the First Battle of Xiongjin Jiangkou, and the remaining Baekje troops fled one after another, unable to fight.

"General Su." Liu Boying came from behind: "Look at this, it is very difficult to organize any other troops in Baekje to resist us. I feel that you and I should lead the land and water armies to continue marching towards the capital of Baekje. .”

Su Dingfang thought about it, but it was true. From Changkou City to the south, he fought Goguryeo all the way. After fighting the south of Goguryeo, he entered the territory of Baekje. The army of Tang Dynasty was as vulnerable as tofu in front of the Tang army. At this time, it happened to go straight to the capital of Baekje in one go.

"So, General Liu, let's divide our troops into two groups and continue to fight towards the capital of Baekje. But now that the Baekje army has withdrawn from the Silla territory, how many troops will we encounter in the future? Before the spies come back, Both of you and I don't know, the battle is going to be fought, but we must be careful." Su Dingfang instructed.

"I understand." Liu Boying said: "In this way, General Su will continue to move forward, and I will lead the navy to conquer all the towns along the coast of Baekje."

"So good."

Tang Jun's troops in Baekje began to spread out, attacking the city, and Xuan Shijing and Xue Rengui in Dahangcheng in the north could no longer be idle. You Laohei was highly valued by Quan boys in Pyongyang, and the news came naturally The report is more detailed and useful than other places. With the convenience of news, Xuan Shijing personally led the army to continue to march towards Pyongyang City.

After all, Quan Gai Suwen did not wake up again. A few days after Ren Wu left Pyongyang, Quan Gai Suwen died in the side hall of the palace. Quan Gai Suwen was hastily buried in the ancestral tomb of the Quan family. As the eldest son, he inherited Quangai Suwenmolizhi's seat.

And Quan Nanjian's succession made Quan Nanjian very dissatisfied. In Goguryeo's court, Quan Nanjian and Quan Nanjian fought openly and secretly.

Four or five groups of assassins had already come to Quan Boy's mansion. Ever since Quan Gai Suwen was buried, Quan Boy had never had a full night's sleep again.

It was night, and the boy from Quan put on his clothes and walked out of the room, and went to the backyard. He wanted to stroll around in the backyard and relax. He was stopped by the guards.

In the backyard, Quan boys met Lao Hei.

After Quan Boy returned to Pyongyang, Lao Hei has been living in Quan Boy's house. Lao Hei has some brains and is very smart. He quickly gained Quan Boy's trust and became Quan Boy's assistant, occasionally helping him out Ideas or something.
