Chapter 973 His Highness King Qi Sends You [-] Soldiers
Chapter 95 His Royal Highness King Qi Sends You Fifty Thousand Soldiers
Chang'an City was originally the mansion of Xing Guogong, and now the mansion of Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng.

As Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu was found by Li Xiuning's rangers, Wei Zheng did not give Wei Shuyu an opportunity to find an official position, and Wei Shushu fell in love with Datang University of Technology in Qinglinli outside Chang'an.

Although Chang'an City is only more than [-] miles away from Datang University of Technology in Qinglinli, in this era, a distance of [-] miles would take an hour even if cavalry walked slowly.Wei Shuyu usually lives in the campus of Datang University of Technology, but at this time, there are no weekends and weekends.

Chen Ying also went to the countryside to do as the Romans do. Datang University of Technology and the various workshops under his name all adopt the four-day routine in January, that is, the four days of rest on the first, second, fifteenth and sixth days of the first lunar month.

When it was Xunxiu's turn, Wei Shuyu returned to Zheng Guogong's mansion in Chang'an from Qinglinli in a bus and carriage.

The four-wheeled carriage running on the galloping road is even faster than riding a horse. The key is to save money. The one-way journey of more than [-] miles only costs [-] Wen, if you buy a monthly pass.It only costs three hundred Wen a month.Of course, three hundred Wen is not a small burden for ordinary craftsmen.

Datang's Tongtong Express monthly pass will not be invalidated next month.It's [-] Wen, and you can take [-] round-trip tickets.For each missed ride, use a punching machine to punch a round hole on the ticket, which will be counted as billing.

When Wei Shuyu came home from Qinglin, he saw that Wei Zheng was slightly drunk and seemed to be in a good mood.

Wei Shuyu stepped forward and asked, "Could it be that Dad has some happy event?"

Wei Shuyu was also a little puzzled. Facing the aggressive Tubo missions who came to ask for marriage, Wei Zheng, who was the first of the six prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty's political affairs hall, had hardly seen any joy in the past ten days.

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "General Chen has dispatched troops... General Chen is the emperor's sword——

Wei Shuyu looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.

Wei Zheng explained with a smile: "This knife is very useful. It cuts gold and jade, and cuts iron like mud. In the first year of Wude, the Turks invaded Lingzhou. This knife slaughtered more than [-] people under Shibi Khan's command; , this knife slaughtered Liu Wuzhou again; then, the battle of Luoyang, the battle of Hebei, the rebellion of Hebei, and the Western Regions, this knife is invincible... Now it is the Tubo people."

Wei Shuyu frowned, obviously displeased.

Although Wei Zheng is his father, he is a student of Datang University of Technology after all.In the industrial university, Chen Ying's resume, almost every college student can memorize it backwards.In fact, Wei Zheng didn't say anything, he was more familiar with everything about Chen Ying than Wei Zheng.Of course, this is all on the surface.

Wei Zheng said: "This knife is out of its sheath, the world will be in chaos!"

Wei Shuyu immediately responded unceremoniously: "The Tubo people insulted me and threatened to invade the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't they fight back? Oh... What Dad means is that General Chen didn't ask for an order... My son, although I don't know anything about military affairs, and I know that my generals are away, so the emperor's order is not granted. General Chen sent troops without the emperor's order, there must be some difficulties!"

Wei Zheng shrugged, not caring about Wei Shushu's harsh attitude, and said lightly: "Now that the war has begun, why...does it matter?"

Before Wei Shuyu could answer, he smiled bitterly and said, "Taiping...it's really hard!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng turned around and looked at Uncle Wei and said: "The Tang Dynasty is not ready to solve the Tubo issue, and the imperial court doesn't care about Tubo anymore... Goguryeo has changed... It's a troubled time!"

Wei Zheng did not explain some things to Wei Shuyu. After all, Wei Shuyu was only the son of Zheng Guogong, not an official. In fact, officials of the Tang Dynasty may not necessarily know such high-level secrets.

If the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body. Wei Zheng is still very clear about this truth.

At the last critical moment of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan formed an anti-Tang alliance in a whimsical way, calling on all countries around the Tang Dynasty to work together to attack Tang from the whole world.

However, due to the appearance of Chen Ying, Xieli's deployment was disrupted.Before Xieli had completed this deployment, Datang uprooted the East Turks, the backbone of the anti-Tang alliance.

At this time, Jieli Khan was living in confinement in Chang'an City. Whenever there was a state banquet or a major festival, Li Jiancheng would let Jieli Khan go to the Taiji Palace to dance a Huxuan dance.

Of course, this is the greatest insult to Xieli Khan.

However, this just confirmed that Datang was not satisfied with the territory.Just after Jieli Khan was captured and the East Turks disappeared, the war machine of the Tang Dynasty did not stop.

Chen Ying led the soldiers of the Anxi Army to embark on the journey of the Western Expedition, while Datang provided special funds to build five-tooth warships, and used the young and strong Jianghuai who were good at water to organize and train naval forces.Even the [-] naval troops under Xiao Xian who had been disbanded before returned to the barracks under Li Jing's conscripts. Although after the abolition of the old and weak, the original [-] naval troops of Xiaoliang Kingdom only retained less than [-] soldiers. horse.

All these accidents undoubtedly confirmed the prophecy that Xieli contacted the various countries during the anti-Tang alliance: "The Great Tang is greedy for territory, and they can't wait to put the dragon flag of the Great Tang on the rivers and the sun and the moon! "

Tubo, which is the nearest to the southwest of Datang, took the lead. Of course, this kind of threatening marriage proposal was actually Tubo's test of Datang, and they tested Datang's bottom line.

Goguryeo, the little overlord in Liaodong, can't sit still.

To put it bluntly, this Goguryeo is almost exactly the same as Tuyuhun.Murong Tuyuhun, the eldest son of Murong Shegui, the leader of the Xianbei Murong tribe (in fact, the Xianbei people did not have any concept of passing on the lineage in this era).When Murong Shegui was alive, [-] herdsmen were assigned to Murong Tuyuhun. Both Murong Tuyuhun and his half brother Murongxin herded horses and sheep.The horses fought with each other, but Murongxin's horse was injured. Murongxin was very angry and sent someone to say to Tuyuhun, "my late father separated us. Why didn't you let the horses go away and let them fight and hurt each other?" Murong Tuyuhun said: " Horses are animals, they eat grass and drink water for a living, and the breath of spring is activated, so how can a group of horses fight with each other, how can they be angry with people? It is easy to separate completely, and now I will be [-] miles away from you." So Murong Tuyuhun drove the group of horses westward. And go.

Later, these [-] Xianbei Murong tribe herdsmen formed a powerful country, which is Tuyuhun.

This is also the case in Goguryeo. In 37 BC, the prince of Buyeo, Ju Mong, fled the country of Buyeo because of discord with other princes.However, the fate of Goguryeo was rough. They wanted to dominate, and Huaxia was a hurdle they could never overcome.

As early as the decisive battle between East Turks and Tang Dynasty, Gao Jianwu, king of Goguryeo, sent a large number of spies to sneak into Datang to search for intelligence.When Li Jiancheng learned about Li Shimin's development of the Tang Navy's power, Gao Jianwu panicked.

Almost all the countries around the Great Tang border directly on the Great Tang.Only on the Korean Peninsula, if you take a boat from Jiaodong, you can reach Pyongyang in up to four days.

But now, Datang is making every effort to build the five-tooth warship. Gao Jianwu mistakenly thought that Datang was planning to attack Goguryeo.

Naturally, Goguryeo would not stand still, and did not even go through the diplomatic process, and directly expanded its military and prepared for war.

Gao Jianwu is also a smart man.He believes that there is almost no possibility of military victory over Datang.

However, it is not absolute.

For example, like the ninth year of Daye, Goguryeo can still win without a fight.

……

In Chengyi Palace, the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, a famous person is forbidden to live at this time. This person is none other than Li Yuanji, the former King of Qi, who is now a commoner.

After all, Li Jiancheng is a soft-hearted person. Even if Li Yuanji committed the crime of treason, Li Jiancheng did not kill Li Yuanji to prevent future troubles.

Although Li Yuanji was demoted as a commoner, Li Yuanji still enjoyed the prince's salary, food and clothing, and the original treatment, but he had no official position.

Along the Miyagi corridor, pass through Xiadu Gate (the first gate from the south of Chang'an City to the east. It is north of Dabaiyang and Xiaobaiyang Villages in the northwest of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.), and you can arrive at Da'an Palace.

Li Yuanji is usually fine, playing mahjong with Li Yuan, or rowing in Xiyuan Lake.

Li Yuanji and Li Yuan played mahjong all night, Li Yuanji yawned and returned to Chengyi Palace.

Just when Li Yuanji was about to go to bed, as a general, his vigilance made him feel that something was wrong.

"Who!"

While talking, Li Yuanji casually pulled out the sword by the bedside.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, don't come here unharmed!"

Jumping down from the beam of the sleeping hall, a warrior dressed in a black samurai uniform said slowly in slightly crappy Tang Yan, "Su Gaiwen in Xiayuan!"

Li Yuanji can be sure that he absolutely does not know Yuansu Gaiwen.And Yuansu is definitely not a Xianbei surname.

Li Yuanji said: "Yuansu Gaiwen, you hide your head and show your tail, what are you?"

Yuansu Gaiwen gently peeled off the black scarf, looked at the sword in Li Yuanji's hand, and said with a faint smile, "His Royal Highness Qi, is this how you treat guests?"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Xie Shufang, the leader of the Qi Palace, said, "His Royal Highness, what happened?"

Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay!"

Yuansu Gaiwen was very satisfied with Li Yuanji's reaction. He sat on the Jindun opposite Li Yuanji very naturally, and poured a cup of tea as if he was in his own home.

Li Yuanji looked at the three knives behind Yuansu Gaiwen, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and his eyes fell on Yuansu Gaiwen's hand, which was thick with calluses.Li Yuanji is naturally not afraid of Yuan Gai Suwen, if he is allowed to hold a horse, Li Yuanji is confident that he can call him a father in ten rounds.

The point is, he doesn't have a horse in his hand now.Li Yuanji sighed and said, "What's the matter!"

Yuansu Gaiwen smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness, how are you doing recently?"

"Okay..." Li Yuanji thought in his heart, "Damn!"

However, he is not stupid.

Although he didn't know how Yuansu Gaiwen entered the heavily guarded Chengyi Palace, Li Yuanji had some reservations before Yuansu Gaiwen revealed his intention of coming.

In fact, Li Yuanji really treats the king's belly with the heart of a villain.

After Li Jiancheng solved the famine in Guanzhong and defeated the Eastern Turks, he expanded his territory for thousands of miles and his position was already secured. He didn't even fear Li Yuan, so how could he fear Li Yuanji, a young brat.

Yuan Su Gaiwen also showed a maturity that did not match his age, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, let me introduce myself first. I am the son of Goguryeo's great rival Lu Yuan Taizuo, and the eastern custodian Yuan Su Gaiwen!"

When Li Yuanji heard about Goguryeo, his eyes lit up.

Mattressa is an official position in Goguryeo, which can correspond to the governor of a state in Datang.Of course, Goguryeo's Tissa only governed a city, and there were several military towns.The military town is equivalent to the Zhechong Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. In its heyday, Koguryo had more than 300 military towns.The number ranged from five hundred to a thousand.

Li Yuanji said: "And then..."

Yuansu Gaiwen said: "Originally, we could send anyone at will to meet His Highness King Qi. In order to show the sincerity of our Goguryeo, so I came."

Li Yuanji nodded.It is undeniable that, as a powerful minister of Goguryeo, Yuansu Gaiwen expressed enough sincerity to Lu's son.

However, Li Yuanji showed a playful smile and said: "You are a warrior, and I am also a warrior. You don't need to learn those big headscarves and make so many twists and turns. Just speak up if you have anything to say!"

"Shuangkuai, I knew that His Royal Highness King Qi is a refreshing person!" Yuansu Gaiwen said: "Our Goguryeo intends to be friends with King Qi, so I came to Chang'an with sincerity!"

Li Yuanji sat down and said slowly, "What sincerity?"

Yuansu Gaiwen lowered his voice and said: "Support His Royal Highness King Qi as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our two countries will forever be good friends of Qin and Jin!"

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "Our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, when will it be your Goguryeo's turn to call the shots?"

Yuansu Gaiwen said: "5 horses!"

"Even if there are 10 troops, can you see if you can break through the defense of An Dong's army?" Li Yuanji's smile grew wider, and he said, "Li Shiji is not that trash like Li Yi!"

Yuansu Gaiwen nodded and said: "Yes, I admit that Anton's army is a little difficult to deal with. What I want to say is that we can send [-] troops to His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Power is like an addictive poison. It would be a lie to say that Li Yuanji is not moved by Yuan Sugaiwen's words.

Li Yuanji knew that what Yuansu Gaiwen said was just a picture, and it was impossible to fulfill it.

Although there are more than 300 military towns in the entire Goguryeo, the standing force is only about 15 horses, and it is absolutely impossible for them to hand over one-third of the force to him.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Don't force me to kill you. I admit that swordsmanship is not my specialty, but it's not so easy for you to kill me. Why don't you take a gamble, which one of us will die first!"

Yuansu Gaiwen thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh, what His Royal Highness King Qi said, do you think that I have lied to His Highness?"

"Isn't it?" Li Yuanji said: "When will you Goguryeo take out [-] soldiers and horses casually? With five soldiers and horses, I'm afraid the north of Sashui should also take some time!"

"Misunderstanding... Misunderstanding!" Yuansu Gaiwen laughed and said: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang really misunderstood, the fifty thousand soldiers and horses I mentioned are not our Goguryeo people, but the Sui army!"

In the eighth year of Daye, Yang Guang personally went to the south of Liaodong City to watch the battle. It happened that the general came to protect his son and told Yang Guang that 30 navy troops had landed on the Korean peninsula.In order to fight with Lai Huer from north to south, Yang Guang ordered Yu Wenshu, General You Yiwei Yu Zhongwen, General Zuo Xiaowei Jing Yuanheng, General Xue Shixiong of You Yiwei, General Xin Shixiong of Zuo Tunwei, General Zhang Jin of Right Yuwei, General Zhao Xiaocai of Youwuhou, General Cui Hongsheng of Zuowuwei, the prefect of Zhuojun County, General Cui Hongsheng of Zuowuwei, and General Wei Wensheng of Hu Benlang, the right imperial guard of Zhuojun, led the Ninth Army with a total of 5000 people to cross from Huaiyuan Town (near Liaozhong, Liaoning today) Liaoshui crossed the cities of Goguryeo, advanced towards Yalushui, and cooperated with the navy to attack Pyongyang.

However, in Sashui (today's Datong River), when the Nine Army was flooded by Ulchi Wende, the Sui Army was defeated. When Yu Wenshu led the remnants to retreat to Liaodong City, The Sui army had only [-] men and horses left, and almost lost all their equipment.

At that time, the 30 Sui troops were completely wiped out without a single battle.After all, the 30 army stretches for hundreds of miles, and even if the Datong River is drained, it will not form a hundred-mile flood peak.However, the Sui army was defeated like a mountain.In addition to hundreds of thousands of people being wounded or killed, there were also hundreds of thousands of horses captured by Goguryeo.

Of course, Goguryeo is not a good bird. Although they captured tens of thousands of Sui army prisoners, they did not kill them directly, but tortured them in every possible way.

Now more than ten years have passed, and there are only 6 or [-] soldiers of the Sui army who were captured by Goguryeo.

Yuansu Gaiwen looked at Li Yuanji, and said solemnly: "[-] soldiers and horses, [-] sets of armor and equipment, this is my sincerity, do you see enough?"

Li Yuanji was calm on the surface, but turbulent waves arose in his heart.

The equipment of the Sui army was no weaker than that of the Tang army, the only difference was in quality.If you have [-] soldiers and horses in hand, it will be different.

Maybe, he can really get into that position.
