Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 104: The pain of General Tiance, the pain of all the officials in Chang'an!

This is…

What kind of will is this!
What a man that is!
He united the army, the people, and the entire Yan Kingdom.

He will lead them and enslave all sentient beings!
Can this be done?
What a fantastic idea!
Throughout the thousands of years of history, even the great Han Dynasty that flourished for a hundred years would expand its territory to Langjuxu Mountain at most.

He... that man, could he really lead the Yan Kingdom further than the big man?

Do not!
impossible! !
But...but, that man is so eye-catching...
Chai Shao didn't want to believe it, but looking at him and the extremely infectious crowd around him, he hesitated.

For a moment.

Even Chai Shao felt passionate and wanted to follow that man and fight for the Han people in the world.

"Captain?"

Guo Chao and others were also in deep shock at this time, but not as scary as Chai Shaolai.

"I...I'm fine."

Chai Shao smiled wryly and shook his head.

He looked at the little girl again. The little girl was suddenly more enthusiastic than before. What kind of determined look was that?
Chai Shao... I have never seen him before in my life. Even if I traveled throughout the Tang Dynasty, I would rarely see him.

And here it is!
In this entire square, in the entire Yan Kingdom, there are so many crazy eyes that are so unbelievable! !
This enthusiastic speech lasted for a long time.

Several people from the Guo Dynasty were from the Tang Dynasty, and they really couldn't bear the atmosphere of the enemy country, so they all suggested that Chai Shao retreat.

But Chai Shao refused.

Moreover, he continued to look at it, and looked at it extremely carefully.

He wants to use his own eyes.

Go and see how different there is between Datang and Dayan!

Even though there may be a huge gap, a gap that makes people panic, he still has to... keep looking.
.
…………………….
Even a grand banquet will eventually come to an end.

Chai Shao and the others all left the scene with a feeling of loss.

On this day, they realized what it means to be outside the world.

"Brother, do you want to eat or find a place to live now?"

At this time, the little girl couldn't help but ask.

When Chai Shao heard this, he looked at her with great bitterness: "I want... I want to be quiet."

Now, he really just wants to be quiet.

the other side.

After Li Kuan left, he took off the golden mask.

Beside him, Princess Changle was waiting for his return early.

See him coming.

Princess Changle asked with a smile: "Second brother, is it necessary? Wear a mask."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Changle, as Yanguo's reputation grows, people from all over the world will gather here, and there may be many people from the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid being targeted by the Tang Dynasty during the development, we have temporarily hidden It’s necessary.”

"and…."

Li Kuan paused and narrowed his eyes.

Princess Changle was introduced to the topic by him and couldn't help but said: "And what?"

Li Kuan continued: "Moreover, there is an extraordinary figure in the Tang Dynasty, the Governor of Youzhou, Chai Shao."

Chai Shao's arrival was reported to him by soldiers from the Yan Kingdom since Chai Shao stepped into this land.

Chai Shao was too conspicuous. He was the governor of Youzhou, and most of the people in Yan Kingdom were the people of Youzhou, so even if he was dressed in casual clothes, many people would recognize him.

of course.

In this land, there is nothing that can be hidden from Li Kuan.

With the arrival of Chai Shao, Li Kuan believed that it was even more necessary for him to put on a mask to avoid being recognized by him, and then informed General Tiance.

It is not advisable for General Tiance to know about Yan State now.

The northern part of Yan State was still fighting fiercely with Goguryeo. In order to counter Ulji Munde, they sent White Tiger Camp, Haw Pao Camp, and [-] Wei soldiers to go for a month and arrived at Liaodong City to garrison.

Most of the troops have been dispatched, and there are Turks in the surrounding area who are watching eagerly. At this time, if General Tiance knows that he is here, he will definitely send troops to attack.

By then there will be multiple fronts, which is really not good.

So Li Kuan chose to hide.

And this moment.

Princess Changle's eyes widened: "Grand Governor Chai Shaochai, he...he is here?"

Li Kuan smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"He...given his identity, why did he come to Yan Country in person?"

"I'm afraid he has to ask himself."

"Then, second brother, what are you going to do?"

Princess Changle felt a little nervous, she was a little afraid that Li Kuan would do something bad to Chai Shao.

After all, Chai Shao was a general of the Tang Dynasty, and she still hoped that Chai Shao could return to the Tang Dynasty safely.

But from Yan Guo's point of view, this is not the case...
"What should I do?"

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately laughed: "I don't know the purpose of his arrival, but I won't embarrass him too much."

"Even if it is, I think it's because of his kindness in the past."

Li Kuan felt a little melancholy when he said this.

When he first joined the army, Chai Shao helped him a lot.

Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, second brother."

"Although my gratitude has no effect, I still... thank you."

Li Kuan laughed and didn't care: "How is my wife?"

Hearing this, Princess Changle thought for a while and said, "According to what the matchmaker said, she will probably give birth in the next few days."

Li Kuan nodded: "Then I came back at the right time."

Continue to chat with Princess Changle about home affairs.

He also became more and more understanding of the current situation in Yan Country. In the two months after the expedition, he continued to make up for the gaps in Yan Country.

Princess Changle also asked him about the battle in Liaodong City.

The two people's information is constantly exchanged with each other.

After saying goodbye to Princess Changle, Li Kuan asked someone to call Lin Xunyi.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Lin Xunyi was a little frightened.

He led the beggar army and several hundred people. He had joined the Yan Kingdom for a long time. He had never seen Li Kuan when he came back from Liaodong City with Li Kuan.

I really don’t know why Li Kuan summoned him.

however.

He didn't know Li Kuan very well, but Li Kuan knew him well.

From Liaodong City to Yan State, Li Kuan sent people to monitor this ranger, and concluded that his character had passed the test.

"Young Master Lin, it's like this."

"I want to send you to select suitable warriors in Yanyun City to form a new army. It will be named whatever you want, called the Begging Army."

Li Kuan stated his intention.

When Lin Xunyi heard this, he was shocked: "A begging army? Your Majesty wants to form a begging army?"

He couldn't believe it.

Li Kuan nodded towards him: "Not bad."

"Your Majesty, this...isn't this too abrupt? I have seen our Yan Kingdom's army, and the beggar army has no advantage at all compared to them."

"They have excellent armor and excellent weapons. They are much more powerful than our beggar army."

Lin Xunyi told what he had seen and heard these days.

The soldiers of Yan Kingdom were so strong that he was in awe.

That's why.

Lin Xunyi was willing to abandon his armor and return to the fields, and let the few remaining military weapons that were begging for survival also abandon his armor and return to the fields, and work together to farm in the Yan Kingdom.

"Their equipment is indeed not as good as any army in the Yan Kingdom, but they, the beggar army led by you, Lin Xunyi, have more firm beliefs than our army."

"You beggar soldiers are always willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of others, and are willing to sacrifice your lives to protect the living."

"What I value is your will!"

Li Kuan looked at him and talked eloquently.

When Lin Xunyi heard this, his heart trembled.

Has the will of the beggar army been recognized by...?

Still an emperor….
He couldn't help but his eyes were a little moist.

In that war-torn era, there were indeed a lot of beggars, but with the advent of the peaceful era, there were fewer and fewer people who were willing to give up their lives just to protect others.

Yes.

Fewer and fewer.

What ability do they have to blame the new generation?

Everyone's life is unique, why should we die to protect others?

It’s understandable to protect your family, but why do you protect strangers?

and so.

Most of the new generation do not understand the beliefs of the Beggar Army, which leads to the decrease in the number of the Beggar Army.

From the 10,000+ people where it was established, the number continued to decrease, until today only the last 200 or so beggar soldiers remain.

For a moment, Lin Xunyi thought that the beggar army was going to die out in his generation.

Die in... reality and only exist in history.

Just like that big man, that white horse Yi Cong...
"Do people today still accept the belief that the beggar army died for others?"

Lin Xunyi's eyes were moist, and he raised his head and looked at Li Kuan extremely seriously: "I am the Eighth Generation Commander of the Beggar Army. 58 generations ago, all the commanders of the Beggar Army unswervingly upheld the belief of dying for others. "

"If the expansion of the beggar army in the Yan Kingdom was not based on this belief, I... would not approve it, and neither would the 58th generation commander of the beggar army, the martyrs."

"King of the Begging Army, King Ran Min will not even approve of it."

Hearing this, Li Kuan didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile: "What I value is your belief."

talking room.

Li Kuan stood up, with pride and arrogance in his brows.

Looking at Lin Xunyi, he opened his hands freely and arrogantly, and said loudly: "Young Master Lin, have you ever seen the ardent patriotism of the soldiers and people of Yan Kingdom?"

"Have you ever seen that they are willing to risk their lives for the empire?"

Lin Xunyi stared at the arrogant King of Chu in shock, and nodded subconsciously, with a choked voice: "I see it, I see it..."

He saw it!

See very clearly!

I saw Yan Guo from Liaodong City, and I could see Yan Guo’s speech just now extremely clearly.

Those soldiers, those people, they are all willing to shed their blood for the empire! !

"Hahahahaha!!"

Li Kuan laughed loudly towards the sky and said with some arrogance: "So, they are all willing to follow your will."

"Even in the entire world, there is no place more suitable for cultivating a new generation of beggar soldiers than my Yan Kingdom!"

The voice fell.

Lin Xunyi couldn't help but nod: "Yes, yes!"

As he spoke, the blood in his heart that had been dormant for a long time was constantly rising.

As the person who loves the Beggar Army the most, only the person who loves it the most can become the commander-in-chief.

And he, Lin Xunyi, didn't want to see the beggar army sink and disappear into history.

perhaps….
In this land, he can really restore the glory of the beggar army.

"So, Shaoxia Lin, are you willing to form a new beggar army?"

Li Kuan looked at him and stretched out his right hand: "Gather them together and accompany me to conquer the world, so that the Yan Kingdom can go further."

Lin Xunyi looked at that sincere look with moist eyes. She walked up to Li Kuan and half-knelt down.

He lowered his head even lower than Li Kuan's outstretched right hand. "My lord, I am willing to go."

He is willing to go.

He is willing to go! ! !

He is willing to fight all over the world for this man who can restore the glory of the beggar army in the past for him!
I am willing to be this man's general, even if I am a commander, I am willing to accompany this man to conquer the world!
Since then.

Following the Tiger Leopard Battalion, White Tiger Battalion, White Robe Battalion, and the Self-Defense Force, the empire's fifth army organization name has been completely finalized.

Its name is, Beggar Army!

Begging for work, begging for work….
Survive by begging for food in troubled times, dedicate yourself to protecting the lives of others, and live...
………………………….
the other side.

After the crazy speech was dismissed, General White Tiger also personally led the living White Tiger Guards to send the more than 200 dead men to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Looking at the rising fire, General White Tiger's eyes flashed with hot and bright red flames, as if he was a god, he seemed to be crying, but he didn't seem to be.

Too many people died.

Most of them are veterans who have followed him since Youzhou.

General Baihu's eyes were moist, and his memory couldn't help but be brought back to the scene at the Youzhou level.

That day, His Highness asked him and his people to go back to Jiangdong. It was his willfulness that made him choose to come back to His Highness.

And all his soldiers followed him back, no one hesitated, no one hesitated, they were all so determined.

If they had gone back, they could have been reunited with their families, they could have been reunited with them! !
But following his willfulness, he came back...
Then it became a foreign place, dry bones….
When he thought of this, General White Tiger's eyes became moister.

He didn't know how to face these Baihuerlang's family members in Jiangdong.

Silence and standing there for a long time.

Until the fire stops.

General Baihu turned around.

Behind him are three thousand sons and daughters again.

There are still many who have followed him from Youzhou, but more of them are brand-new soldiers selected from the land of Yan Kingdom.

Although there were more brand-new soldiers, these people respected him and believed in him as much as the dead men. Even if he led them to be exposed to the sun for an hour today, they had no complaints.

General Baihu's eyes were moist again.

They believed in him too much, but he didn't know how many heroic souls would be buried in that battlefield after going to Liaodong City this time.

He didn't know how many people he could protect.

"time to go…."

There was a long silence.

Even though there were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to express, in the end, all General White Tiger could say was such simple and unpretentious words.

Although the words were simple and unpretentious, the lonely and sad tone made even the White Tiger Guards feel a heavy atmosphere.

"General, your gun."

Walking towards him was a newly appointed commander of the White Tiger Guard, carrying General White Tiger's gun and handing it to him.

General Baihu's eyes flashed.

The newly appointed commander of the White Tiger position not only kept his gun, but also kept his wife's letters, because the previous commander of the White Tiger Guards had died on the battlefield of Liaodong City.

General Baihu looked at him, his eyes so wet that he shed tears.

He looked at the White Tiger Guards commander, and looked carefully, as if he saw the previous White Tiger Guards commander through this man, turned into a heroic soul, and was floating in the sky above the new White Tiger Guards commander, also saying to him, "General" , your gun. It’s time for us to go.”

General White Tiger took the gun and looked at the three thousand White Tiger Guards.

Those White Tiger Guards didn't speak, but General White Tiger seemed to see the heroic spirits floating above them, the dead... White Tiger Guards heroic spirits.

"General, it's time to go."

They seemed to speak in unison.

They were all urging General White Tiger to go on an expedition.

General Baihu seemed to see that they were not afraid of death. Even if they had to do it over again, they would choose to return to His Highness with him instead of going back to Youzhou.

They are not afraid of death… they are not afraid of death….
Yes!

For that man, they were never afraid of death.

Just like General Suzaku and his Suzaku Battalion, they fought bloody battles to the death for His Highness who they believed in. How could his White Tiger Battalion ever be weaker than them?
"General, it's time to go."

hazy room.

General White Tiger seemed to hear the cry again, and those fool-like heroic spirits seemed to be urging him again.

General Baihu laughed while crying: "You guys."

He shook his head with a wry smile, and then nodded heavily.

"Well, it's time to go..."
.
…………………….
the other side.

Guo Shoujing, the general principal of Yanyun City School, is organizing the people to prepare to leave for Liaodong City.

Liaodong City was captured. In addition to the Goguryeo slaves taken away by Silla, there were also [-] Goguryeo slaves who belonged to the Yan Kingdom.

They were still being enslaved in Liaodong City, but the number of Han people rescued in Liaodong City was only about 1, which was far from enough.

The first people sent from Yanyun City to Liaodong City were [-] Wei soldiers and [-] new White Tiger Guards.

All are soldiers.

But this time, he wanted to select [-] Han people, escorted by General Baihu, to go north to Liaodong City and settle there.

This is a move away from home. Yanyun City is their hometown to them, so it is really an move away from home.

Guo Shoujing was not sure how many of the people who had become comfortable would still be willing to take the initiative to go.

He was already prepared. If the number of people was not enough, he would spend a lot of money to drive them, or he would ask the refugees who had recently joined the Yan Kingdom to send a large amount of money to gather enough [-] people to rush to Liaodong City.

"How's it going? Has the notice been posted?"

Guo Shoujing asked.

A self-defense army commander replied: "It's almost done."

Guo Shoujing nodded and was about to continue speaking.

But at this moment, some Self-Defense Army soldiers rushed in.

"Chief Principal, it's bad! There are many people outside!"

Guo Shoujing was slightly stunned, and then quickly replied: "Come on, take me to have a look."

He followed the self-defense soldier and left quickly.

Guo Shoujing felt something was wrong.

Why were so many people gathered at this time? Could it be related to the notice?
Yes, it must be!

After all, there had never been such a scene before. Apart from posting a notice to go to Liaodong City, he could not think of any other possibility for the people to gather here.

Come outside.

Guo Shoujing's heart sank to the bottom.

There were a lot of people, some holding children and some old people. It was a huge crowd. Compared with the situation during His Majesty's speech not long ago, there was no more concessions.

Among so many people gathered, no one spoke, making the scene extremely silent.

He suddenly felt a little wandering.

"What, what's wrong?"

He asked the people at the front.

The people were silent at the moment, but soon a woman came out holding a child.

"President Guo, is that notice that people need to go to Liaodong City to live there true?"

She looked at Guo Shoujing with serious eyes.

Guo Shoujing forced a smile: "Yeah, really."

"But...what is your Majesty's intention?"

"Well, of course."

"Then, I'm willing to go!"

When she heard that it was the man's will, the woman chose to go without hesitation.

Guo Shoujing was slightly startled: "Are you going by yourself?"

"No, my whole family will go!"

"Although I am leaving my hometown and there is still more than a month on the road, I have discussed it with several members of my family. As long as it is His Majesty's will and he needs someone to go to Liaodong City, my family will go."

"Even if it is far inferior to Yanyun City, I will still go there!"

There was only seriousness in her eyes.

Guo Shoujing was shocked and was about to speak, but the woman's words seemed to open up the conversation, making the crowd no longer calm.

"Yes, I'll go too!"

"I also!"

"I also…."

"......."

There was a huge crowd at noon, and everyone signed up enthusiastically.

They were the first residents of Yanyun City. They watched Yanyun City grow up and continue to grow, becoming a big city even more prosperous than Chang'an City today.

Yanyun City can be said to be the best place to live in their lives.

So they knew that Liaodong City was definitely not as good as Yanyun City.

It is equivalent to abandoning the city and taking the initiative to live in the countryside.

But even so, as long as that man asks for it, they are willing... to follow him to the death.

The crowd gradually became surging and excited.

Every sound, every sound, got louder and louder, making it almost as noisy as a vegetable market.

Guo Shoujing looked at them, his heart unable to calm down for a long time, he was completely... shocked.

………………………….
The next day.

Chang'an City.

This is the second day after Cheng Yaojin came back.

early morning.

In the main hall, all the officials stood together, solemnly and solemnly.

Li Shimin slowly walked to the dragon chair and sat down with great dignity.

His eyes swept over the officials, and his fingers gently tapped the dragon chair.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to report?"

Li Shimin asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Changsun Wuji came out.

"Say it, Changsun Pushe."

Li Shimin spoke.

Although he was very familiar with Changsun Wuji, it was in private, and he still had to maintain the basic title of monarch and minister in court meetings.

"Your Majesty, yesterday your Majesty informed you of the corruption of many local officials in Youzhou. In accordance with your Majesty's instructions, I have dismissed the county magistrates of sixteen counties in Youzhou's Hedong Road. Those 16 people have all been sent to jail, waiting for new sentences. ."

"In addition, more than 40 tons of grain have been recovered from the granaries in these [-] counties. All of them are already under the custody of officers and soldiers, and the granaries can be opened to release grain from now on."

It was Li Shimin's temptation to remove sixteen county magistrates pending trial.

These 16 people were all members of the aristocratic clans. He wanted to see what these aristocratic clans would say about their dismissal.
If the reaction is intense, then take a step back. If it is not intense, then...heavy punishment!

"Ah."

Listening to Changsun Wuji's report, Li Shimin nodded slowly.

However, the next moment, Changsun Wuji hesitated and said: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that many of the people in Hedong Road ran away. Even if they were to release grain, they wouldn't be able to release much."

Changsun Wuji was a little helpless.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed for a moment, and he sighed: "This is also... there is no way to do it. After all, Datang has treated them badly."

While talking, Li Shimin looked at those noble families to see what they looked like.

He saw it, saw that those noble families were aloof and had nothing to do with them.
