Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 221 In an instant, Liaodong fell

In the palace, Li Lizhi was actually a little upset these days.

When she thought that her sister would definitely be treated lightly in Lin Heng's home, she felt a little complicated. She was inexplicably envious, but she always looked at it with gritted teeth.

Li Ningxi must be a very important person to her. She actually doesn't have a clear definition of Lin Heng's words in her heart.

A certain feeling for Lin Heng has always been buried deep in my heart, and I don't dare to take it out to think about it in detail.

Sometimes her mind would think of what happened in the tent before going to the disaster relief, and then she would think of Lin Heng's understanding of his own position. To her, he was always a brother-in-law, not anything else.

This feeling is very obvious to her, and it should be the same to ordinary people. Perhaps it is because Lin Heng has a close relationship with her sister.

I feel strangely uncomfortable and can't explain why.

So most of her time, she always focused on that arithmetic book. Lin Heng had actually talked about it a lot before he was injured. There was also a small part that Li Lizhi could understand herself, so she could just brush up on the questions. When I walk around the palace, I always feel a little empty.

Without her sister, she seemed to have nowhere to go, and she couldn't argue with Lin Heng on weekdays, which was a bit boring.

I'm afraid that this situation will become more obvious when Li Ningxi gets married in the future.

Sometimes I think about my father and feel sad when I see people around me leaving one by one. But my father's face is either stern or smiling, and it seems that he is rarely particularly sad.

Emperor, is this how it should be?
Sometimes she still wonders, if she were a man, she wouldn't have some thoughts that she shouldn't have. Would it be easier?
Thousands of miles away, on the banks of the Liao River in the east of Liaodong, the Tang Army was passing through the city gate, and a horseman came slowly.

The person who came was none other than the Goryeo general, Eulji Mundeok. He had defeated the Sui army three times many years ago and had a pivotal position in Goryeo.

The old man came to the border alone, with the yellow sand rolling behind him and his momentum.

On the border, a group of Tang soldiers immediately raised their crossbows. This person was already within the range of the Tang soldiers' crossbows. They could kill him with just one order!

"Is it possible that this is how you treat guests in the Tang Dynasty?"

General Chengtou roared angrily: "Old thief, you slaughtered countless people of our Tang Dynasty, and now you dare to enter our army's formation without authorization. Do you really think that this general does not dare to kill you?"

The old man dismounted slowly, threw the spear to the ground, and then opened his hands.

"Everything in the world is for profit. If General Guo is willing to take my life, just come and take it!"

Guo Yong immediately became angry, grabbed the soldier's bow and drew it full: "Old thief, I thought this general was made of mud, and he is looking for death!"

"But there is an old saying in the Tang Dynasty: when two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed..."

Guo Yong was stunned for a moment, but his eyes were still sharp: "My last words are to give you this chance!"

The old man laughed loudly and said: "I can't believe that a general who was abandoned by Li Shimin and demoted to the land of Liaodong still has such grace?"

"When our Majesty sees this, he will cherish his talents. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin is a person who does not recognize great talents. What a pity!"

Guo Yong frowned and stared at the old man.

Eulji Wende slowly said: "In the third year of Wude, you led troops to conquer the Eastern Turks. You were deposed by Li Shimin for killing Turkic women and children. In the fifth year of Wude, you led the army without permission because you did not obey military orders. , wiped out three thousand enemy troops, but was directly blamed by Li Shimin. Before the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin rebelled. You did not send troops because you were loyal to Li Yuan, and you were demoted to Liaodong."

"Are these things I said true?"

"And the people around you are all soldiers who have followed you for many years, right?"

Guo Yong shot an arrow and landed on the ground in front of the old man. Eulji Wende laughed loudly: "Guo Yong, is it possible that after so many years, you can't even hold a bow and arrow firmly?"

"I'm here, kill me, and you can claim credit from Li Shimin!" "But I'm afraid, after you kill me, you can only stay in this cold place in Liaodong, and you will be trapped in this cold place with your men. Here, you are not allowed to turn around in this life?"

Guo Yong said angrily: "Old thief, what exactly do you want to say?"

The old man suddenly spoke. Although he was older, his voice was loud and powerful.

"I, Goryeo, would like to recruit General Guo as the general, and the Liaodong Army as the heavenly army, and treat him with the highest courtesy!"

"Li Shimin wants to conquer Goryeo, but Goryeo has retreated to the Sui Dynasty three times. I'm afraid Li Shimin can't do anything to us. But by that time, General Guo, who is in Liaodong, will become an excuse for Li Shimin's failure to transfer. I'll kill them all, and I'm afraid these brothers of yours won't end well either!"

"But as long as General Guo is willing to join our Goryeo, then I, Goryeo, are willing to treat him with generous gifts. General Guo has fought no less battles than me. I am willing to share the army with General Guo and unify Liaodong!"

"At that time, my Majesty will confer a title on General Guo and respect him as a general!"

Eulji Munduk's words were shocking enough to be heard by Guo Huai and everyone present.

General, Heavenly Army
They have been staying in Liaodong for many years. Such a cold place is unbearable, and they cannot rely on military exploits to achieve success. They are afraid that they will have to stay in this place for the rest of their lives.

And Guo Yong was even more like this. His identity destined him to never be promoted in his life. For a moment, the fear of Li Shimin and the yearning for fame and wealth came to his heart. He looked at the soldiers around him, and they all had been tempered by the wind and sand. It's so embarrassing, so many brothers have followed him over the years, and they have never had a good life.

Thirty thousand Liaodong riders, because they follow him, they will never be able to stand up again in this life...

Eulji Wende looked at Guo Yong and saw his hesitation and his inner desire.

"General Guo, I came here alone today and have already put my life at risk. If you don't believe it, I can chop off my head and offer it to Li Shimin to see if he can reward you. My head is worth at least ten thousand households! "

"Come, give your blood energy a try. Even if you kill me, the door of my country will always be open to General Guo!"

The old man closed his eyes and opened his hands. The wind swept away the dust and smoke. The old man's shirt and white hair were picked up by the wind, but no one shot an arrow.

At this moment, Guo Yong looked at the person in front of him with trembling hands.

It doesn't matter whether he has food or not, but his men have to eat and live a good life. They can't just follow him all their lives. They can't just stay in Liaodong and work for Li Shimin. A watchdog.

He also wants to show off his talents, and he also wants to be like the generals like Cheng Yao, Jing De, and Li Jing, instead of living like this!

Guo Yong bent his bow and drew an arrow, raised his head suddenly, and shot an arrow through a passing migratory bird in the sky.

"Everyone!"

"Those who wish to seek glory and wealth with me, please pull out your swords!"

"If anyone wants to leave, throw away your armor. This general will never kill anyone!"

rebellion!

The expressions of those present suddenly changed. After seeing Guo Yong's expression, countless pro-soldiers drew their swords.

"Follow me, General, to seek glory and wealth!"

Three days later, the Liao Pass was opened, and countless Koreans poured into Liaodong.

Guo Yong led the [-] Liaodong Army to defect to Goryeo and was named General Zhengtian. The Liaodong Army changed its military name to Tianjun!

Millions of land in Liaodong fell in an instant.
