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

But reality gave them a heavy blow!
  The beating made them all a little dazed, completely dazed.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Changsun Wuji said tremblingly.

This time,
  The clan, including the imperial court, really paid a big price. How much food was used?

If the disaster relief work in Guannai Road and the food and grass for this expedition fail to meet their expectations, wouldn't they lose their wives and lose their troops, which would be a huge loss?

"What should we do? We can't let the Tang army die in vain!"

"The description of the pharmacist and the others should be correct. If we attack by force, the cavalry archers plus the white-robed army will be too much to bear, let alone whether there are other unknown weapons and troops. If Yuchi Jingde goes on an expedition again, it will be too much." Otherwise, our Tang army will probably suffer heavy losses in an instant!"

Li Shimin was a little flustered, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we can only attack by force!"

"If it continues to be delayed, the longer it takes, the worse it will be."

"Could it be that... just because there are some cavalry archers, we should give up the attack and give Qingzhou to Dayan in vain?"

Pei Ji shouted in a low voice.

"That's right, Your Majesty, let's attack by force!"

"We have an army of half a million people. As long as we bite the bullet and capture Pu County, I believe everything will be smooth sailing later. If we are frightened by them now, our Tang Dynasty will really miss out!"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid Qingzhou won't be able to take it back. At that time, what will Datang do? Everyone in the world will laugh at us to death."

Xiao Yu also urged.

They didn't want to see the army stationed in the same county and stand still.

If it continues like this, if nothing else, this food and grass will be a huge burden for the clan members.

Even if they are as rich as the country and have a deep foundation, so what?

The expenses of an army of [-], coupled with the drought that is now everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, making ends meet is not that simple.

They would rather die than eat more food.

Moreover,
  These people who died were not members of their clan, but ordinary people. Would they care about the life and death of these people?
  Listen to their advice.

now.

Li Shimin was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, no! You must not do it, Your Majesty!"

"If we suffer heavy losses, what will happen even if we capture Pu County? By then, our Tang army will probably collapse!"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he shouted anxiously: "When the time comes, if there are troops or cavalry deployed by Dayan in other counties, do we still have to attack by force? What about the Turks? What if the Turks take advantage of the situation and rob them? What about the Jiangdong rebels? ?What to do over there?"

"With so many foreign invaders, they are all targeting our Tang Dynasty. How much can we attack by force? No, Your Majesty, please think again!"

Pei Ji stood up and said, "No, Your Majesty, these cavalry archers and the silver arrows are so terrifying, especially the silver arrows. It must be very difficult to make them. They Dayan must not have many."

"And since we stormed Pu County, we naturally also captured Dayan's so-called silver arrows. When the time comes, we will take the initiative!"

He immediately shouted back.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm not sure. All of Dayan's silver arrows were placed on that cavalry archer just to scare us."

"If you stand still, you will really fall into their trap. Your Majesty, can you give the order?"

Xiao Yu agreed.

"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty, you can't take any risks until you understand the situation." Du Ruhui said urgently: "The lives of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cannot be wasted like this, otherwise their morale will collapse and our Tang Dynasty will never be able to fight again. Strong!"

Li Shimin pressed his head firmly.

He was feeling dizzy now.

His head felt like it was about to split.

"Stop arguing, let's go! Go to the same county, you all follow me!"

“Let’s wait until we get there!”

Li Shimin stood up suddenly and hurried out.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Pei Ji and others suddenly fell silent, and then quickly followed.

they also know
  There is no point in arguing at this time.

It's better to go to the front line and see it with your own eyes.

Damn it!
  Why are there so many backhands?

No, Datang really can't conquer Qingzhou.

Great Yan, has it become so terrifying?
  Enough to resist Datang?
  Everyone was so anxious that they no longer felt as relaxed as before.

After leaving Tai Chi Palace, he mounted his horse and headed straight for the same county.
.
  …….….….….….
  north.

Goguryeo.

It’s already September, and winter in Goguryeo is coming soon.

Goguryeo Imperial City.

Yeon Gaesumun sat by the stove, looking at the battle report in his hand, while Eulji Munduk stood not far away.

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, okay!"

After a few breaths, Yeon Gaesumun suddenly burst out laughing.

He excitedly said to Eulji Mundeok next to him: "General Eulji, our opportunity has come to Goguryeo."

"Before, Great Yan, Turks and Tang Dynasty started a war. After this war, I thought they would stop for a while, but I didn't expect that Great Yan would start a new war."

"Look! Great Yan has actually annexed Qingzhou and is already confronting the Tang Dynasty. Under such drought and the aftermath of the war, the Tang Dynasty has also dispatched nearly [-] troops, which must be the strength of the whole country."

"I estimate that all of Dayan's troops are also stationed near Qingzhou. How about we take action and attack the mainland of Dayan? Or even Yanyun City?"

Yeon Gaesumun shouted.

Eulji Wende thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, please don't get excited."

"Have you forgotten how we were fooled by Emperor Dayan some time ago? There is no accurate mention of the movements of Dayan's troops. How do you know, Your Majesty, that all the troops of Dayan are... Are they all in Qingzhou?"

As soon as this word comes out,
  The excited Yeon Gaesumun was stunned.

At that time, his people came back from Dayan, as excited as anything, and rushed back to Goguryeo overnight with the so-called Dayan Kingdom Artifact made of broken glass.

He thought he had gotten a big deal.

But then what?
  Some people just spent fifty coins and brought back something exactly like themselves!

But I spent countless gold and silver treasures, which would be more than [-] million yuan.

This made Yeon Gaesumun so angry that even he, who was as strong as an ox, had to lie in bed for three or four days before he recovered.

He could even recall that when he wanted to buy this thing, Eulji Munduk kept persuading him, saying that he would take a look at the situation before making a decision.

He was very anxious at that time and directly denied Eulji Mundeok.

But did not expect.

This caused a disaster!

Eat a little and gain wisdom.

So at this moment, he could listen to Eulji Munduk's advice. And that thing,

At present, only a few people including Eulji Mundek know that he was deceived.

He didn’t dare to make any noise!

After all, it was my fault and I had to buy it. In the end, in order to maintain face, I had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis without being able to tell me the pain.

"General Eulji." Yeon Gaesumun looked at the information and said, "Look, the Tang Dynasty has dispatched more than [-] troops. If Great Yan wants to resist, he will have to mobilize at least more than [-] troops, right?"

"This Great Yan is only so big, and Qingzhou and the others have just fought. I think they have almost all of Great Yan's troops, right?"

Eulji Munduk looked at the information and started thinking.

After a long time.

He just nodded.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but... there is no exact data. If you want to send troops, you must still be cautious."

"But I have to say that this is indeed an opportunity. Datang and Dayan are in trouble, and we are under a lot less pressure."

"But for safety reasons, Dayan and Datang must fight first. Only in this way can we take action against Dayan!"

"Your Majesty, please send a group of people to Qingzhou secretly, and then sneak attack the Tang army camp, assassinate the Tang generals, and give everything to Great Yan."

"Let the two families not have any chance of reconciliation! When the time comes, we will send troops to attack Great Yan, and then Great Tang will definitely cooperate with us. It is the best policy for us to join forces with Great Tang to destroy Great Yan!"

"No matter how strong Dayan is, he will never be a match for our two families."

Eulji Wende said slowly, the analysis can be said to be spurring in.

Yeon Gaesumun nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

"Yes, yes! What General Eulji said is wonderful! In this case, Daeyan will not be able to survive even if he has nine lives."

"Even if Emperor Yan has the power to reach the sky, he can't stop the attacks of Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, only by directly eliminating the unstable factor of Emperor Yan, we in the south of Goguryeo can rest easy!"

"Hahaha! It's just... If Li Shimin knew the truth at that time, I'm afraid he would be depressed and scold his mother. Joining forces with Daxia is their only chance for the Tang Dynasty to defeat our Goguryeo. It's a pity... they have no chance."

Yeon Gaesumun laughed heartily twice, stood up immediately, and followed Eulji Mundeok's instructions.

Eulji Wende narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to the strong wind outside the big tent.

"Great Yan...Emperor Great Yan..."

"Do you still have a chance to survive this time?"

The corners of Eulji Wende's mouth turned up, extremely evil.

  …………………….
  Pu County.

Li Kuan stood on the city wall.

Looking in the direction of Tong County, he took the telescope in Chen Qingzhi's hand. Through the telescope, he could vaguely see the county seat.

It can be seen how close the distance between the two sides is.

Yang Yong, Xin Qiji, Zhang Liao, Princess Changle and others followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty, apart from the one attack before, Datang has almost never been deployed."

"Now all the troops of the Tang Dynasty are stationed in the same county. According to Zi's report, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty brought Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji and others to the same county."

Chen Qingzhi said in a deep voice.

Li Kuan put down the telescope and nodded.

"Admiral Tiance himself is here, but... what's the use? Today's era already belongs to me, Li Kuan! His Admiral Tiance has been eliminated by the times!"

"But... We, Dayan, still have to develop, and Qingzhou also has a lot of things to do. We don't have time to accompany them, and the war will take so long."

Li Kuan breathed out softly. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, Ziyun, you organize a military parade in Pu County."

"I guess Li Shimin and the others are discussing how many good weapons and soldiers we have in Pu County. If that's the case, let's... show it off."

"First, bring all the silver arrows in storage to Pu County from various places. In addition, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has not been seen in the Tang Dynasty, so let them see the power of our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. We will save Qingzhou day by day."

"I want to tell them that Qingzhou no longer belongs to the Tang Dynasty. It belongs to me and to the thousands of people of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

Chen Qingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this is a good idea."

Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty,
  It would be a real pity if he died in the war with Dayan like this.

These people will all be the common people of Dayan from now on.

Moreover, they are still the kind of people who are very developed, and they are also the kind of people that Great Yan is in urgent need of development.

Great Yan needs them.

This is why,
  Li Kuan had previously ordered General Tianquan to block their advance instead of killing the Tang army.

Li Kuan didn't want to really go to war with Datang.

Those who died were innocent ordinary people, so why bother?
  If you can't fight, of course you won't.

"Be prepared. It doesn't take much. Only five thousand troops will be dispatched."

"As for the way to be read, just walk straight, um... Then, I will go and train myself."

Li Kuan also became interested and led a few people to the military camp.

Goose-step!
  Once such a majestic, disciplined, and serious military posture comes out, I'm afraid it will scare Datang out of his wits.
.
  …………………….
  Same county.

Li Shimin was sitting in the high hall of the county government office.

Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, etc. At this moment, all the Dukes of the Tang Dynasty were in the county government office.

Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy.

He glanced at Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others with solemn expressions.

As soon as he arrived in the same county, he immediately came to discuss with everyone without taking a rest.

"What's going on here? Is the matter... really at such a critical moment?"

"Surprisingly, the matter of moving the capital has even been brought up. Medicine Master, what do you think? Tell me quickly, is Dayan... really invincible?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing took a deep breath.

He pursed his lower lips and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Great Yan is still too mysterious to us in the Tang Dynasty."

"Their weapons are simply weapons of attack, and with the addition of the Cavalry Archers... it becomes even more terrifying."

"Not only me, General Yuchi had the deepest experience of the situation that day."

"Coupled with the specific power of the silver arrows we explored at night, it can be estimated that if a round of silver arrows fell in the middle of our army with the size of that archer, it could kill dozens of people at once. !”

"And if we can't catch up with them, we can only continue to be consumed and never touch them. We really can't afford such losses."

"Even if we have [-] troops, and even if you just said that there are still large armies gathering, it is not such a waste. The lives of soldiers... are also lives."

Li Jing swallowed and said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Yuchi Jingde nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, what the pharmacist said is still conservative. The general thought that after a few rounds or even a dozen rounds of cavalry shooting, our army would lose any morale. By then, let alone siege the city. There is no way to evacuate."

"We were lucky last time and didn't suffer too much damage. It's probably Great Yan's warning to us."
