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

"Great Yan, for me, the Tang Dynasty, has almost become a siege. Half of the Tang Dynasty is under the gaze of Great Yan."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others sitting below, his voice was low and gloomy.

Even for a while, Datang's tenants were doing well in implementing the idea of ​​marrying into a mother, but the sudden pressure from Dayan destroyed all the happiness in his heart.

Tai Chi Palace.

For a moment, there was silence.

After a moment, Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no way around this. Dayan... Dayan is too domineering. Coupled with their strength, a country like Goguryeo has no way of resisting. force."

"Such an ending can be expected by us before. Now, we in the Tang Dynasty have only one way, and that is to move forward quickly, hurry up!"

"Only in this way can we take the initiative when Datang and Dayan go to war in the future, and we will not be like Goguryeo, without even a little room for resistance."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I think we don't need to be too presumptuous now. Goguryeo wants to take advantage of Great Yan this time, and it's entirely his own fault. Their method is wrong."

"Look at the people of Goguryeo. They are like zombies. The Tang Dynasty is not Goguryeo!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that if we, Datang and Dayan, really fight, they will be able to fight."

Changsun Wuji also spoke.

Li Shimin looked at them with gloomy eyes.

"Then, how should we arrange it on Hebei Road? How should we adjust it?"

"You must know that the methods used to defend Goguryeo are ineffective against Great Flame."

Li Shimin was asking.

As soon as this question came up, Tai Chi Palace fell silent again.

In the end, it was Li Jing who stood up. After all, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War. If he didn't talk about such an important border defense matter, others really wouldn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to support Baekje and Silla, maybe... we can be able to compete with the Great Yan."

"At the very least, they can become a strange card for our Tang Dynasty. They should understand the truth of lip death and cold teeth. I believe they will definitely cooperate. When our Datang really fights with Great Yan with real swords and real spears, this Directly sending troops between the two countries may have good results.”

"Of course, the main way to fight against the Great Flame is in our country, the Tang Dynasty. Now the country is peaceful and the people are at peace in the Tang Dynasty, and the people are very attentive. As long as we wait for the autumn harvest, the treasury will be full."

"After I join the family, I will continue to imitate Dayan in all aspects. I believe that I will become tougher soon."

Li Jing cupped his fists and said.

Li Shimin felt slightly at ease when he heard this.

Indeed, the period of time when tenants were allowed to farm their own land was really good in the Tang Dynasty. Not only did household registrations increase dramatically, the statistical number of various fields also increased significantly. When the autumn harvest came, the gentry, landlords, and gentry all also paid taxes. This year’s Taxes will definitely be much higher than before.

With money, everything becomes easier.

As for Baekje and Silla, Li Jing said that it was indeed good. As long as they sent people to contact them secretly, they would definitely be bound to the Tang Dynasty.

after all,

Compared to the Tang Dynasty, the Great Yan poses the greatest threat to them.

Anyone who is not stupid can see it.

However, just as Li Shimin was about to continue speaking, Li Junxian hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, there are scouts from Hedong Road!"

Reported by Li Junxianhui.

"Quick, quick, please come in!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately shouted.

Hebei Road!
This is their latest pet peeve.

The scout rushed in quickly, then knelt directly on the main hall, raising the bamboo tube in his hand high.

Li Shimin hurriedly walked down, took it, and opened it.

Watch it.

hiss….
After a few breaths, Li Shimin took a deep breath, unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Fang Xuanling asked hurriedly.

Li Shimin dropped his arms feebly, and dropped the letter in his hand to the ground.

He glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Li Jing.

"Silla and Baekje have been destroyed by the Great Fire."

"Great Yan has unified the northeast."

Li Shimin said hoarsely.

As soon as this news came out, everyone in the main hall was shocked.

Silla and Baekje also….
They're numb.

"This Great Flame is too ruthless. Did he just kill Silla and Baekje?"

"Calculating the time, from the first battle report from the King of Hejian, the battle of Liaodong City, until the Great Flame destroyed Baekje and Silla, but only..."

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and breathed a little.

"Your Majesty, it only took about half a month. Your Majesty, in total, it took about half a month!"

Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded.

Everyone was also stunned.

Although the scouts sent orders, there was a time difference.

However, every military report records the time.

All in all, it only lasted half a month.

Outside the Battle of Liaodong City, more than 100,000 Goguryeo people were killed. Then Dayan pursued them all the way to the Datong River, and all the remaining Goguryeo people were captured alive.

On the same day, Dayan's navy directly attacked the domestic city.

On the same day, Daeyeon's army pursued them to the Daedong River, and Eulji Mundeok and Go Jianwen were defeated again.

The next day, Goguryeo was completely destroyed.

On the ninth and tenth day, Silla and Baekje perished!
The things that Dayan did were like destroying everything, without any resistance at all.

There was sudden silence in the main hall.

Li Shimin sat back blankly behind the jade table, his eyes trembling a little.

This time,
The strength displayed by Dayan made him feel a little cold in his heart.

"this…."

Li Jing also never expected that he had just mentioned Silla and Baekje a moment ago, and then he received the news that these two companies were gone.

Dayan, Dayan, really showed no mercy at all.

This is too cruel.

There has never been such a thing in all dynasties!

Within half a month, three countries were destroyed in a row.

Even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han could never do it.

silence
Dead!

After a long time, Li Shimin's voice sounded again.

"The King of Hejian asked me how to deal with the great inflammation. Now, what should I say?"

After the words fell, no one answered Li Shimin's question.

How else to deal with it?

They really couldn't think about it at all.

My brain is all down.

It was not until late at night that Li Shimin slowly stood up and left Tai Chi Palace with heavy steps.

Subsequently,

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others also dispersed under the message from the chamberlain.

Everyone's hearts are heavy.

These three battle reports are connected together with only one word, and that is extremely terrifying!
The moon still hangs quietly in the sky, and the stars still fill the sky.

Nothing seems to have changed.

but,

The human world is undergoing a sudden change! Fang Xuanling sighed: "Great Yan, hey... this country is really too cruel."

Changsun Wuji smiled and nodded: "Who says otherwise? I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that there is only one word to describe it, and that is [infinite]. To be honest, Dayan is definitely a pearl in history. There has never been a country like this in the past dynasties and thousands of years!”

"Hiss..." Li Jing stretched out, his breath burning: "Our Datang, I suddenly feel that the future development direction of our Datang is in the southwest, in Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road, Duohe Western Region The various countries are in contact with the Lingnan countries.”

"It's a vast area with sparsely populated areas and complex terrain. If Datang can't stand it anymore, this is our last choice and our last hope!"

Li Jing analyzed slowly.

Everyone frowned.

You know, these places were something they looked down upon before. Barbarian lands, these are the places we are talking about.

but,
But they understood that what Li Jing said was right, really right!
"By the way, the Tibetan envoy is coming soon, right? When the Tibetan envoy arrives, this time in the Tang Dynasty, we must keep in touch with them to build relationships."

"It's best to form an alliance and fight against Great Yan together!"

Changsun Wuji remembered this incident and said suddenly.

Everyone paused slightly.

Now, it's already September.

If Tubo is coming, it will be very soon.

"Yes, the auxiliary machine is right!" Fang Xuanling nodded vigorously: "Tubo, they are our most important partners in the future of the Tang Dynasty, we must grasp them!"

Everyone nodded and agreed.

….….….….….….
Li Shimin was very depressed.

As he walked on the road to the imperial city, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky, his heart felt like it was being burned by fire.

Dayan annexed Goguryeo, and the land increased by unknown amounts.

and,

Li Shimin knew very well that the land that Dayan now acquired was not only the land of the three countries of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje. On the surface, it was just like this. But after careful study, it is not difficult to find that the development space of Datang was completely blocked. .

The land of Datang was not small, but it was already faced with nowhere to go.

Outside Goguryeo, the vast land over there, the vast land over there, can actually be regarded as Dayan.

It has nothing to do with Datang.

Datang is trapped!
Just like a dragon, no matter how hard it struggles, it cannot escape. From now on, the land of Datang is most likely to become smaller and smaller.

Just like when Dayan occupied Qingzhou last year, Dayan's territory can be increased indefinitely, but in Datang, it is now at its limit!
"Da Yan, damn it, seeing how much benefit you have gained from your expansion is even more uncomfortable than if I had to lose another Qingzhou!"

Li Shimin pressed his hands firmly against his chest. It was painful, so painful.

Li Junxian followed behind, not daring to disturb him.

"hiss…."

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He stared at the sky, pondered for a moment, and walked directly towards the Qintian Prison. This time, he wanted Yuan Tiangang to give him and Datang a good reckoning.

damn it!
The current situation was beyond his expectation, and he was really at a loss.

Perhaps, only Yuan Tiangang can solve his doubts.

At the same time, he was also asked to take a look at the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, he had made so much effort. It can be said that he copied the underlying design of Dayan. The effect should be good, right?
It should be possible to revive the Tang Dynasty from the dead, right?

When Li Shimin thought of this, his eyes lit up and he walked quickly.

Qin Tianjian.

Right next to the Manna Hall.

Soon, Li Shimin arrived.

but,
When he came in, he frowned a little.

The summer wind is bleak.

Piles of fallen leaves.

what happened?

Why does Qintian Prison give people such an extremely desolate feeling?

Li Shimin was confused.

Although the Qintian Prison is said to be in the imperial city and right next to the Manlu Palace, there are no eunuchs or maids here, and ordinary people have no right to enter.

In other words, Qin Tian Jian was like an isolated island in the imperial city.

Except for Li Shimin who comes occasionally, no one else is qualified to come in.

The position here is a bit strange.

But now….
Li Shimin looked at the observatory under the starry sky. There was no one on it.

The room on one side was also completely dark. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.

"Where is Master Yuan? Where is the person?"

"Master Yuan Tianshi is not here today? Has he gone out?"

Li Shimin was confused.

He looked around and saw that there was really no trace of human life here. Suddenly, his breathing became rapid.

The last time I came here was before I went to Dayan, and then, it became like this again?

So down and out.

"I don't know, Your Majesty."

"Recently, it seems that Yuan Tianshi has not been seen in the imperial city. Yuan Tianshi probably hasn't gone out, right?"

Li Junxian also looked around and said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin's eyes were solemn as he walked onto the stargazing platform.

On the observatory, there was already a layer of fallen leaves and a lot of dust. It looked like no one had been on the stage for a long time.

Li Shimin's breathing suddenly became rapid for some unknown reason.

His head suddenly turned to that side of the room.

He rushed in quickly.

Bang!

Li Shimin directly pushed open the door of Yuan Tiangang's room.

"Cough cough cough..."

But then, dust filled the sky and rushed straight into his nose. Li Shimin couldn't help but cough wildly several times.

However, without caring too much, Li Shimin walked in.

The room was quiet.

No one.

"Light the candles!" Li Shimin growled.

Li Junxian immediately took out the fire stick and carefully lit the candle on the table.

Immediately, dim light illuminated the entire room.

Endless dust swayed in front of my eyes.

Soon, the dust fell to the ground.

Li Shimin's face turned livid for a moment.

There was a layer of dust on everything in the room, on the bedding, on the table, on the floor, on the windowsill...
Even the portrait of Sanqing hanging in the middle of the room was covered in dust.

Yuan Tiangang is gone!

Otherwise, Qin Tian Jian would never be like this?

Especially this Sanqing portrait, Li Shimin knew that it was Yuan Tiangang's pet peeve. Every time he entered the room, the Sanqing portrait was as clean as if it had been washed with water, but what about now?
"He left, how could he leave?"

"Yuan Tiangang, why did he leave? What on earth is going on? He...why did he leave?"

Li Shimin swayed and pressed his hand on the table. His eyes were solemn, his breathing was rapid, and his heartbeat was crazy.

In the room, the only sounds left were Li Shimin's heartbeat and breathing.

Very quiet.

It's like a tomb.
