Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 433

The Tang army has won many victories against Goguryeo, and their morale is high. Xue Rengui intends to take advantage of the victory and create another glories.

Xue Rengui led the troops straight to the foot of Nansu City in Goguryeo. When the defenders of Nansu City learned that the Tang army was coming, they did not dare to fight, and the general abandoned the city and fled.

The defenders of Nansu City saw that the general had abandoned the city and fled, so they opened the city and surrendered to the Tang army. Xue Rengui left a team of soldiers and horses, and Li Qinghong stayed to comfort and take over Nansu City.

Xue Rengui led the army to march towards Mudi City, and parted ways with Zhou Qingbing on the way, Xue Rengui continued to march towards Mudi City.

Zhou Qing led a group of people and turned to kill Cangyan City. After Zhou Qing arrived at Cangyan City, the defenders in the city surrendered without saying a word.

Xue Rengui's side did not go so smoothly. When Tang Jun came to Mudi City, he was resisted by the Goguryeo Army, and the two sides fought.

Finally, the chief defender of Mudi City was killed by Xue Rengui with an arrow, and Mudi City gave up resistance and surrendered to the Tang army.

Within a month, the Tang army occupied a large area of ​​Goguryeo and won a decisive victory.

On the other side, Guo Daifeng led the army to march towards Pyongyang from another road, and Li Ji sent Feng Shiben to Guo Daifeng to deliver food, weapons and other logistical supplies.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shiben's transport ship broke down halfway and could not reach Guo Daifeng's camp on schedule. The lack of food in Guo Daifeng's army caused the soldiers to be hungry and embarrassing.

"General, our army's food, grass and weapons have not come for a long time. Now our soldiers are hungry and poor, and the food and weapons are no longer available. Let alone go to battle to kill the enemy, I am afraid they will starve to death!"

"The subordinates are worried that if this continues, our army may mutiny. When the time comes, the Goguryeo army will cover up and attack us. We must confess here, but we will die before we leave the army." Guo Daifeng's general said.

"Moreover, the weapons in our army are all old-fashioned weapons, most of which are rusted and unusable. Not only that, there are not enough weapons in the army, so what can the soldiers do?" said another of Guo Daifeng's subordinates.

Guo Daifeng is also embarrassed!Food and weapons have been delayed, and he has no choice but to make food and weapons.

Whoever made Feng Shiben's ship carrying supplies run aground and couldn't move forward, there was nothing he could do.

They are about to run out of food now, and the food in the army has been controlled to one meal a day. If this continues for a few days, they will starve to death here.

After thinking about it, Guo Daifeng wanted to write a letter to ask Li Ji for help, but he was worried that the letter would be intercepted by the enemy, so he could learn the reality of his army through the letter, so Guo Daifeng decided to write an acrostic poem to Li Ji .

"I will solve the matter of food and weapons. The general's food will be changed to two meals a day." Guo Daifeng said.

"What? General, one meal a day can't last long now. I'm changing it to two meals a day. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to last until the food arrives, and I will starve to death." After hearing this, the generals turned pale with shock.

Now that there is little food, every meal will be one less meal, and now it is necessary to turn two days of rations into one day, which is tantamount to committing suicide.

"What are you yelling about? Don't I know that you can't boil the grain into porridge, add more water and less grain, isn't it all right! I need to teach you how to do it." Guo Daifeng said.

"But general, wouldn't the soldiers complain even more in this way?" said the general.

"Isn't there no way out! I know it's not easy to explain to the soldiers, but if we don't do this, we're all going to die. As long as we get through this period of time, everything will be fine. Go down! I'm like The chief executive asks for help." Guo Daifeng said.

"No!" Guo Daifeng's generals saluted and retreated.

Guo Daifeng immediately wrote an acrostic poem and ordered it to be delivered to Li Ji.

Liaodong Road Army Commander was in charge of the camp. Li Ji was discussing military operations with the generals when he heard the soldiers report.

"Report to Chief Supervisor, General Zuo Weiwei Guo Daifeng sent someone to send a letter, please enclose it personally."

"I'm here for the time being today, you guys step back first!" Li Ji took the letter and said to the generals.

"No!" All the generals clasped their fists and retreated.

Li Ji hurriedly opened the letter and found that it was actually a poem, but he read it for a long time without understanding what was going on.

"Apart from this letter, what else did the visitor say?" Li Ji asked, afraid that his subordinates might miss something.

"Except for letters, there is nothing else." Said the soldier.

"Understood, you step back first." Li Ji said, the soldiers saluted and exited the tent.

Immediately afterwards Li Ji became furious and said, "Now that the military situation is urgent, this kid is still in the mood to write me some poems. Such a dude deserves to be killed."

After finishing speaking, he threw the acrostic poem that Guo Daifeng had given him to the ground, just in time to be seen by Sheren Yuan Wanqing, who came in from the outside and reported to Li Ji.

Yuan Wanqing bent down and reached out to pick it up, looked at it carefully several times, and suddenly realized.

"General Manager, this is the acrostic poem that General Guo asked you for help." Yuan Wan, the officer in charge of the military records, said.

"Oh! How do you say that?" Li Ji asked, did I really blame Guo Daifeng by mistake?
"General Manager, please read these sentences. The combination of these words means that our army is short of food and weapons. I request the general manager to deliver food and weapons. Otherwise, the soldiers will starve to death." Yuan Wanqing explained to Li Ji The meaning in the acrostic poem.

Only then did Li Ji suddenly realize that this was a hidden secret!So Li Ji ordered people to deliver food and weapons to Guo Daifeng.

Li Ji's food and weapons arrived in time, and there was no mutiny in Guo Daifeng's army, and the soldiers could fight the enemy bravely when they were full.

"This time our army is attacking Goguryeo. Your Majesty and the ruling and opposition parties all look forward to our victorious return. Now I order you to write a letter to boost the morale of our army and show our determination. Goguryeo will not be destroyed. Still facing."

In order to better attack Goguryeo, Li Ji asked Yuan Wanqing to write a call to action to inspire the fighting spirit of the Tang army and disintegrate the morale of the opponent.

"The humble job takes the order, and please rest assured that the chief manager, there is no problem in entrusting this matter to me." Yuan Wanqing said.

"Then you go back and write now, I'll wait for your good news." Li Ji said.

Yuan Wanqing bid farewell and left. After returning home, he racked his brains and finally wrote a copy of "Calling Goryeo", with impassioned sentences and secretly satirized Goguryeo.

Originally, with this essay, Yuan Wanqing should also leave his name through the ages.

But I don't know if he has a lack of brain or something, but he actually said a sentence in the call-to-action, not knowing the danger of guarding duck green.

This reminded Quan Nanjian that when Quan Nan was established, he dispatched troops to guard the Yalu River, making it impossible for the Tang army to pass through. After Li Chengqian learned about it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Chengqian did not punish Yuan Wanqing, but issued an edict to reprimand him and fine him half a year's salary.
