Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1051 Joining forces under the walls of Pyongyang
The first seventy-three chapters join forces under the city of Pyongyang

Pei Ju's mansion.

In the main hall, Pei Ju was sitting on the guest seat, whining and complaining: "That was a night of shock! People inside and outside the capital were in panic, fearing that the Turkic idiots would rise up and go south in a fit of anger. 30 million Iron cavalry, isn’t Daxing City (Chang’an City) just like a piece of paper? If it wasn’t for the father, he entered Turkic alone, provoked Turkic ministries, and separated the Khan court. I’m afraid that the world will be chaotic in the 13th year of Kaihuang ..."

Pei Ju's son, Pei Xuanji, was wearing a long gown with a simple hairpin on his head. He stood in front of Pei Ju with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Sui Wen Emperor's handwriting hanging on the wall in the hall.

When Pei Ju is old, he likes to tell his past achievements repeatedly, as if he is afraid that people will forget.He often pacified Lingnan, conquered Turks, conquered the Western Regions, and conquered Liaodong from him.

Every time I babble, I have to talk for two hours.

Pei Xuanji was behind him, and couldn't help laughing bitterly repeatedly: "I said daddy, but you have something to say! You can treat me as a fart, and your Majesty will ask you, you must have an answer!"

Pei Ju took a deep breath and said, "It's been 17 years..."

Pei Xuanji looked at Pei Ju with a look of surprise and asked, "Huh?"

Pei Ju turned around and said, "I mean, it has been 17 years since the Western Regions were lost and recovered."

Pei Xuanji stared blankly at Pei Ju, he couldn't keep up with Pei Ju's train of thought.

What Li Jiancheng wanted to ask was what Pei Ju meant when Chen Yingshangzuo newly established four departments and sixteen divisions.

Pei Ju sighed and said, "In the past 17 years, who knows how many messy things have gathered in the Western Regions, and what kind of monsters and ghosts have been born?"

Pei Xuanji looked at Pei Ju and said, "Father, what do you mean?"

Pei Ju said slowly, "I've been in the Western Region for three thousand miles. It's the real land of kings and hegemony. The imperial court has never been able to reach into Anxi..."

After a pause, Pei Ju smiled and said, "Anxi and Chen Ying have stayed for too long, and he is about to be transferred to Chang'an. For some things, it is not necessarily a bad thing to plan ahead."

Pei Xuanji spread his hands and said, "But, Dad..."

Pei Ju said indifferently: "You have to make it clear that Chen Ying's eldest son, Li Siye, will be your sister-in-law. As an uncle, don't you know who is more important than who?"

Originally, Pei Xuanji didn't understand.Until now, he really understood.

The original blurred context suddenly became clear.

Chen Ying returned to the court as the appeasement envoy of Anxi Economic Strategy, and in the future he will at least be rewarded with the position of Prime Minister.Now the three provinces and six ministries have long been managed by Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others. Under this situation, even if Chen Ying returns to the court, he can only be an empty-handed chancellor.

Now, Chen Ying will separate the Department of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Communications to establish the Ministry of Communications.In charge of the four divisions of Wei Yi Division, Post Post Division, Stable Animal Husbandry Division and Communication Division.It's just to arrange for one's own people.

In fact, Pei Xuanji was really wrong.The real reason why Chen Ying established the new four ministries was to deal with the industrial revolution, so that the court could better adapt to the development of the industrial revolution.

Pei Xuanji suddenly asked: "Father, why didn't the whole court mention the Goguryeo war? Don't you think about this Eastern Expedition?"

"Haha..." Pei Ju laughed heartily and said, "On the contrary, if I don't mention it, it's not because I don't like it, but because it is inevitable, and the court has great trust in General Chen. If it is not bad, at most three or five Heavens, the imperial court should receive a good news!"

……

Outside the city of Pyongyang, even if Yuan Taejo sent his second son to rescue Yuan Gaisuwen, it still couldn't save the defeat of the Goguryeo army.Although Yuangai Suwen fled into Pyongyang City under the desperate protection of his own soldiers.

However, all of the more than [-] troops under Yuan Gai Su Wen stayed outside Pyongyang.

After the battle, Chen Ying did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but ordered the cavalry to patrol in front of the gates of Pyongyang City, while other soldiers were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

In fact, the faces of the Anxi soldiers who participated in cleaning the battlefield were getting paler and paler. Even the officers were disgusted in their chests, their heads were covered with cold sweat, and they couldn't breathe.

Even Su Dingfang, who has always been known for being cold-blooded, did not relax his brows.Whether the Anxi Army faced the Western Turks in Anxi, Qiuci, Gaochang, or even Tubo and Tuyuhun, they were all nomadic peoples.

As long as they are nomadic peoples, they all have a characteristic. They are brave if they are brave, but they lack persistence and absolutely do not have the tenacity of farming peoples.

This has something to do with the living environment. Nomads grazing grass by grass have never had a strong sense of territory. However, farming peoples are different. For farming peoples, territory is life.

Especially Yuan Gai Suwen's [-] heavy armored swordsmen were all killed in battle, and no one surrendered.As for the more than [-] troops, except for some soldiers who were beaten out of their bodies and frightened, most of them would rather die in battle than surrender easily.

Even Su Dingfang sighed: "The Goguryeo people really deserve their reputation!"

The soldiers of the Anxi Army also paid a heavy price. More than 1000 soldiers were killed, more than [-] were injured, and more than [-] of them were disabled.

Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Chen Ying's heart felt as if a knife had been stabbed.Looking at the soldiers who died in battle, Chen Ying roared hysterically: "You idiots, can't you cherish your own life?"

"You idiots, do you know that your lives are very expensive! Is it worth it to trade your own life for a dog's life?"

Chen Ying was very excited. He pointed at a soldier who was sitting in a car with only one arm left. He didn't know if his head was broken, but he was sitting on the car and giggling.

"Idiot, idiot, what a joke!" Chen Ying snarled, "I'll give you [-] pennies as a pension for the one who dies in battle. It's good for you, you don't want to die in a war, do you mean to make me bankrupt... "

Chen Ying was roaring, angry, and heartbroken.

And Gao Jianwu, who was in Pyongyang, was about to cry.

This battle was so tragic, especially the encounter surrounding Pyongyang, which became Goguryeo's most terrifying nightmare since the 18th year of Kaihuang's war with the Sui Dynasty, especially the soldiers of the Anxi Army. With blood in his eyes, he rushed forward one after another, completely putting his life and death at risk.

That square inch of land became a bloody Shura slaughterhouse.More than [-] Goguryeo soldiers who participated in this battle were killed one after another.And they lost too badly. It can be concluded that if we fight a few more times like this, the Goguryeo people will be extinct.

Gao Jianwu vented his anger and killed more than a dozen small eunuchs, including four Silla maidservants. The hatred in his heart was still hard to dissipate. Looking at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Gao Jianwu suppressed his anger and said: "I also know the situation today. , I don’t say much, let’s discuss now how to deal with this matter.”

However, Gao Jianwu waited for a long time, but still no one spoke in the hall. He looked up, not with his head down, as if there was something interesting on the ground in the hall.Just looking up at the ceiling, as if there is some superb beauty on it.

Gao Jianwu was furious in his heart, and snorted coldly: "What? Usually everyone can talk, but now they can't?"

Originally, Yuan Taizuo lowered his head and looked at the ministers beside him who were silent, he sneered in his heart and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this old minister has something to say."

Gao Jianwu snorted coldly, "Speak!"

Yuan Taizuo bowed his body and then bowed his head and said: "The old minister thought that the people of Tang Dynasty were powerful and invincible, so it's better to negotiate a peace first, and then plan later."

Ulzhikun snorted coldly and said, "According to what you said, is Emperor Li Tang as easy to deceive as Yang Guang?"

Ulchikyun was the son of Ulchi Mundeok, a famous general in Goguryeo, and he inherited the position of Ulchi Mundeok as a custodian, which is equivalent to the position of the general manager of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Jianwu nodded and said: "What Ulchi Tatsusa said is right, the most urgent thing is to find a way to dampen the enthusiasm of the people of Tang, not to think about making peace."

Don't look at Gao Jianwu's beautiful words, in fact, peace talks have already begun.

However, the boy has never conveyed the attitude of the Tang court.

This made Gao Jianwu a little upset.

However, at this moment, cheers like mountain cheers came from outside the city.

Gao Jianwu's brows twitched, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

Gao Jianwu hurriedly sent people to investigate the situation.

After a short time, a young eunuch hurried back: "Report to the king, the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty have arrived!"

In fact, this is not the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang army.

Instead, Li Shiji led an army of tens of thousands to attack the city and land from Liaodong all the way to the city of Pyongyang.

Li Shiji's troops were outside Pyongyang, and they joined forces with Chen Ying's troops in victory.

At this time, the Tang army surrounded outside Pyongyang had more than 20 troops.Moreover, there is a steady stream of Muqi, coming all the way from Liaodong.
