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

Li Shimin's expression changed drastically just now, but after hearing the words of Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji, he became slightly better.

Fang Xuanling wanted to speak: "Your Majesty..."

However, he was directly interrupted by Li Shimin.

"Xuanling," stop saying it. "

"For the King of Chu's affairs, just follow what Auxiliary Machinery and Pei Sikong said. I am the emperor! It was already embarrassing enough to send the King of Chu out, but now everyone in the world has almost forgotten it. If it is because of Great Yan that King Chu is taken over and old things are brought up again, there will be no place for my face!"

"Furthermore, even if he was brought back, I was forced to take him back. If I hadn't conquered the Turks, I wouldn't be able to wash away the shame of the Wei River."

"King Chu... Forget about my former son. Forget it all, including myself. Just think of it as the Tang Dynasty. There has never been such a person."

"I want to reiterate, no one is allowed to mention it again from now on!"

Li Shimin's voice was low and his attitude was extremely determined.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

He knew that what His Majesty said made sense.

This is an old scar. It will be healed just by looking at it. There is no need to untie it again.

For Li Shimin, as long as he could maintain his reputation and historical majesty to the greatest extent, he would not hesitate to sacrifice a few more, let alone one prince.

Princes, sons, he has many!

Too much to use up! !

But there were only two of them, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, born to Empress Changsun.

This is the top priority!

Moreover, the excellence of King Chu was too terrifying. He did not want to repeat the Xuanwu Gate incident again and become "Li Yuan" in this disaster.

No matter how you look at it, sending King Chu away is definitely the best choice.

after all.

In this world, there is never a shortage of outstanding people, but... there are very few people who can be called their own.

now.

There was some silence in the room.

After a while, Changsun Wuji spoke and began to discuss joining forces with the Turks and Goguryeo.

As for the King of Chu incident that was suddenly mentioned just now, it was as if nothing had happened.

"King Chu, I'm sorry, I can't do anything."

Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart.

Then he stopped thinking about this matter and concentrated on discussing the strategy to deal with Dayan.

………………………….

Tonight in Pu County, it can be said that thousands of houses are lit with lights and are extremely happy.

Countless people walked into the streets and alleys.

Celebrating the victory of today's military parade, the convening and Dayan troops were horrified.

but!

Just tonight, a group of Goguryeo people who came down from the north quietly lurked near Tongxian County and launched an assassination operation.

They were ordered to come here to assassinate the important officials of the Tang Dynasty, and then put the blame on Dayan.

Naturally, this action was like hitting a stone with an egg against a stone for Tong County, which was heavily guarded at the moment.

After all, no matter how you say it, Tongxian County currently has an army of 50,000, which is simply an iron wall.

Especially around the county government office, there is a complete Jinwu Guard guarding it.

To put it bluntly, the current defensive strength of Tong County is really more terrifying than that of the Imperial City.

But this doesn't matter to the Goguryeo people. They are here to frame the blame, not really to assassinate.

They already have...the will to die!

Just when their operation had just begun, they were directly discovered by the Jinwu Guards, and then they did not stop, leaving only traces of blaming Great Yan, and fled.

Tongxian county government.

The torches were lit, like stars, directly illuminating the entire county government office.

Countless soldiers were dispatched, and the county government was surrounded by water.

"What's going on? Is the assassin coming?"

"There is an assassin! Your Majesty, are you okay!?

"Damn it, Great Yan actually sent someone to assassinate him. Nai Nai Nai, do you really think that our Tang Dynasty is a soft persimmon and there is nothing you can do against them?"

"I remember this Qiu. Damn it, don't let me find a chance. Your Majesty, are you still okay?"

"......."

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling and others all came one after another after asking.

Look anxious.

I can't believe it either.

At this time, you dare to assassinate His Majesty?

Dayan, what are you thinking about?

Li Shimin sat on the county government office.

Seeing that Li Shimin was fine, everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked tiredly.

Li Junxian immediately came over and bowed: "Your Majesty, they are a group of assassins who want to assassinate Your Majesty."

"But just as they were about to take action, they were noticed by Jin Wuwei. Now they have all escaped. We... didn't catch anyone."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Cheng Yaojin and others who rushed in, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Dayan did it?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, those assassins retreated in a panic and left some evidence behind, all pointing to Dayan!"

"Now, the evidence is conclusive!"

Li Junxian quickly answered again.

"Damn it, Dayan actually resorted to such despicable methods. Your Majesty, I can't stay in this same county any longer!"

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible and return to Chang'an!"

"The war here will not progress in the short term, but! Your Majesty, there are still many things in the Tang Dynasty that are waiting for your Majesty to deal with."

"We, Datang and Dayan, are already fighting to the death. We really don't know what the other side will do in the future. Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"

Changsun Wuji stood up at this time and said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. Why did Dayan suddenly assassinate Your Majesty?"

"If they want to kill His Majesty, wouldn't there be a better opportunity during the military parade today?"

"I think maybe...someone is causing trouble and wants to keep me, Datang and Dayan alive!"

Fang Xuanling questioned.

"Master Fang, if the evidence is solid, don't say anything more." At this time, Pei Ji stood up and said, "We, the Tang Dynasty and Dayan, have long been fighting to the death, so Dayan's assassination is not difficult to understand."

"And what you said about doing it during the day, hahaha, the evil intentions of Dayan's group are beyond your imagination!"

"If they kill Your Majesty during the day, they will definitely face the wrath of the Tang Dynasty. But if they succeed in assassinating Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty will immediately fall into civil strife!"

"When the time comes, Dayan will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, watching the internal strife of the Tang Dynasty, but he will not suffer any losses."

"This is the best policy! Your Majesty, the auxiliary machine is right, we should leave the same county as soon as possible."

"Da Yan dared to do such a cruel thing today. I really don't know what he will do tomorrow or even in the future."

Pei Ji shouted.

Fang Xuanling was silent.

Just because what Pei Ji said makes sense.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, then let's go back to Chang'an, here..."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and others again: "Pharmacist, you are also ready to withdraw your troops."

"Just leave some of the early warning troops and return the rest to Chang'an."

"There is no point in stationing so many soldiers here now. It's time for the soldiers to go back and repair themselves."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said. The battle with Dayan will not progress in a short time.

Pu County is also difficult to attack.

It really makes no sense for these 50,000 troops to stay here. ,

In this case, it is better to withdraw quickly.

Otherwise, Datang would be unable to bear such daily consumption, even with the help of aristocratic families.

although,

Nowadays, the food and grass are all borne by the clans, but now the relationship between the imperial court and the noble clans has been greatly eased because of the Great Yan.

In the future, the imperial court would rely on noble families in many places.

Li Shimin couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

Not to mention, the soldiers of Tang Dynasty are now timid towards Dayan.

Today's military parade has already spread among the army.

And the last attack also made the morale of the army extremely low.

Staying here will only consume the spirit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It is better to go back, stay away from the Great Yan, and regain confidence.

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, the eyes of Changsun Wuji, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu suddenly showed joy.

indeed!

With an army of 50,000 here, the clan members consume an astronomical amount of food and grass every day. If they go back earlier, the noble clan members can take a breather.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing bowed and responded.

"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready." A soldier reported outside.

Li Shimin stood up and left with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other generals saw them off.

Watching Li Shimin's team disappear into the night, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and the others did not move for a long time.

"Hey, pharmacist..."

After a long time, Qin Qiong sighed.

Li Jing smiled bitterly.

"Don't sigh, don't be discouraged."

"Our battle with Great Yan has just begun. The days to come are still long. Whoever laughs to the end will be the winner!"

"For a national-level war, temporary victory or defeat is nothing. Back then, we also signed the Weishui River Covenant under the threat of Turks. This time, we have no so-called covenant!"

"Let's go, get ready, let's withdraw."

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded silently.
.

…………………….

the other side.

Pu County.

The county town is still in full swing.

Inside the county government office, it was also quite lively.

Li Kuan took a sip of tea and sat on the desk. There were a group of people kneeling under the stage.

This group of people is naturally the Goguryeo assassins.

After they evacuated from the same county, they had no idea what was going on. They were knocked unconscious by a group of people who rushed out from nowhere.

When he woke up again, he was already kneeling here.

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes.

He yawned somewhat sleepily.

Chen Qingzhi, Nalan Haixue and Zhang Liao all stood on one side.

They were all looking at this group of people.

"Tell me, what are your plans for sneaking all the way from a place as far away as Goguryeo to here?"

"Are you planning something bad for me, Li Kuan, or even for Dayan?"

Li Kuan looked down at them and said with a smile.

Qilidong swallowed hard and looked up at Li Kuan.

"Emperor of Dayan, I... we have spoken, can you let us go back?"

Qilidong whispered.

They originally had a death wish and would rather die than surrender and not tell the purpose of their trip.

But on the way to being captured and brought to see Li Kuan, they "inadvertently" saw the terrible end of some of their own people.

I heard from the soldiers of Dayan that this was the fate of Goguryeo's stubborn people. They would rather die than surrender. Then after the cruel punishment began, some people tried to relent and wanted to, but Dayan no longer cared and continued the cruel punishment.

Although the intelligence among those people will be lost in doing so, it will serve as a warning to future prisoners.

Just like the Goguryeo assassins in front of me, they clearly had the will to die, but... they collapsed in an instant.

"Let you go back? No need. In fact, I know a little bit about what you want to do."

"Intelligence came from the front line. Several Tang Army commanders gathered in a hurry. Even General Tiance was there. Looking at the clothes you are wearing, it seems that you...are going to assassinate General Tiance, and then blame me, Dayan. Bar?"

Li Kuan looked at them with a smile.

Those calm eyes and plain words shocked these people.

"Emperor Dayan, you...you!"

Qilidong's eyes trembled more and more.

"Okay, let's go down."

"This is the last time you see me, and it is also the last time you see Pu County. Cherish the next time."

Li Kuan said casually, then waved his hand and asked Zhang Liao to take him down.

It would be useless to keep them, and it would be troublesome to keep them in jail and watch them. Besides, there were more Goguryeo people in the north, so they were not bad.

Soon, several tigers and leopards rode up, pulled them down, and beheaded them directly.

"Your Majesty, although Goguryeo's plan is extremely simple, but... do we still need to explain it to the Tang Dynasty?"

"I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty has taken over and is unable to see through this, and will put all this matter on us."

Chen Qingzhi thought for a moment and suggested softly.

"Explanation? Hahaha!" Li Kuan laughed loudly: "What explanation? If General Tiance has the courage, then let him do it!"

Li Kuan didn't even think about it and directly rejected the explanation.

He had been fighting with Li Shimin for too long, and he knew very well what this general would do.

"Okay, this is just a small matter, don't worry about it. Let's go back to Dayan until dawn."

"The Turks...we were exhausted after the last war. It's time for us to deal with them."

"Be prepared to unite with Silla and ask them to help. They are responsible for garrisoning Liaodong City so that Goguryeo cannot fish in troubled waters and allow us to have the most energy to fight against the Turks!"

Li Kuan said slowly.

"By the way, hurry up and send an order to General Qi Jiguang Qi. In the subsequent war against the Turks, don't fight a war of annihilation, but a war of prisoners."

Suddenly, Li Kuan remembered this matter and immediately gave instructions: "Next, we in Dayan will develop a new topic, electricity, which will require a large amount of coal resources."

"Mining coal requires a large number of miners. If we only recruit people from Dayan, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Moreover, mining coal has a high fatality rate. This job requires help from the Turks."

"This group of barbarians with well-developed limbs, and even Jieli Khan himself, are best suited to do these things, and... Dayan doesn't have to pay wages."

"I have kept the Turks free for so many years without touching them. Now, it is time for them to repay me."

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The eyes are deep.

Those eyes reflected the firelight in the tent, and seemed to reflect the ambition deep in his heart. (End of chapter)
