Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 434 Hao Chujun

As soon as Hao Chujun led the army arrived at the foot of the Koryo city, he ordered the soldiers to line up and set up camp.

On Koryo City, the guard looked at the Tang army outside the city who hadn't had time to form a formation, so he planned to lead troops out of the city, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't established a firm foothold, hadn't formed a formation, and formed a strong fighting force.

Go out of the city to fight the Tang army, take the opportunity to defeat them and win the victory, then if Mo Lizhi finds out, he will definitely reward him heavily.

Do as soon as you think of it, the guard said to the lieutenant beside him: "You are here to defend the city, I will take some soldiers out of the city, before the other party has time to line up, I will catch them by surprise."

"No, general! The Tang army has always been brave and good at fighting. A dozen of my Goguryeo cities were captured by the Tang army in a short period of time. If you attack so rashly, I am afraid that you will not be the opponent of the Tang army." The deputy general stopped him and persuaded him.

"How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Now that the Tang army has traveled a long distance, they must be exhausted. In addition, the opponent has not yet come to form a formation, and this time they will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army."

"You are so timid, so guard the city for me here and see how I can kill the enemy." The guard ignored the lieutenant general's persuasion, and rushed out of the city with his soldiers and horses.

Before Tang Jun had time to line up, he saw the Goguryeo army coming to kill him, and he was inevitably a little flustered.

"General! The Goguryeo army is approaching, and our army has not had time to form a formation. The two armies may be overwhelmed by the enemy. What should we do now?" Hao Chujun's general asked.

"Why are you panicking? You haven't reached the front yet!" Hao Chujun said while sitting on a bed (similar to a small board), eating dry food.

The dry food was a bit dry and hard to swallow, Hao Chujun took the water bag from the soldiers, bit the cork off, took a big gulp, and then said: "Don't worry, after I'm full, it won't be too late to act like this. "

"General, we are at this juncture. I still want to retreat to the enemy. The rations can be eaten at any time, so don't be in a hurry." distraught.

"Don't worry! The Goguryeo army won't be able to get here. I've already secretly selected an elite soldier, and I've been waiting for them to come."

"I have already thought that when these Goguryeo people see our army's formation is scattered, they will definitely feel that the opportunity has come, and they will definitely raid our army."

"As long as they go out of the city to surprise our army, they will fall into the trap I have already set for them, presumably it has already started now." Hao Chujun said.

As soon as Hao Chujun finished speaking, there was a burst of shouting and killing from outside, just by hearing the sound, one could tell how fierce the fighting was outside.

After an hour, that is, two hours later, the sound of the battle outside gradually became smaller.

At this time, a soldier rushed over, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Qi! The Goguryeo army has been defeated by our army, and now the enemy's defeated army has withdrawn to Goryeo City."

"Quick! Send the order down, pursue them with all your strength, and destroy them." A general said.

"No need! Poor bandits don't chase after you! Tell the soldiers to retreat and set up camp. Everyone is tired. Rest and rest. After resting, you will have the strength to kill the enemy." Hao Chujun said.

"No!" The soldiers stood up and turned to leave.

After this battle, the soldiers were all overwhelmed by Hao Chujun's courage.

Chang'an, Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

"Everyone! The Ministry of Rituals sent someone to ask, is this sacrifice still going on as in previous years?" Wang Quan asked in a low voice.

"Winter Festival every year, every year is the same pattern, why can't we have some fresh ones?"

"Go and tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that this year's sacrifice should not be as boring and rigid as in previous years, and let them make something interesting." Li Chengqian said.

Every year's sacrifices are the same routine, the same process, and boring. Li Chengqian has long been unwilling to continue the sacrifices, but he can't stand the whole social situation like this.

If he dared not to sacrifice and do such a rebellious thing, no one in the world would let him go, and anyone would tear him to pieces.

"Everyone, this sacrifice is to express respect to the heavens, to report the performance of the years to the heavens, and to pray that the heavens will bless me with good weather in the Tang Dynasty in the coming year, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

"The etiquette of the sacrifice is naturally more solemn. How do you plan to let the Ministry of Rites change the etiquette of the sacrifice?" Wang Quan asked.

For things like etiquette, as long as it does not violate the principle, certain changes are allowed on the original basis.

Therefore, as long as those in power feel that there is something that makes him dissatisfied, a certain degree of modification will be carried out.

"This is what their Ministry of Rites should do. If they can't handle this trivial matter well, what use is there for them?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your servant understands! Let someone go to the Ministry of Rites to inform you." Wang Quan said.

"That's right! Pass the edict on my behalf. From now on, all gods and deities who offer sacrifices to Haotian God, Wufang Emperor, Huangdiyi, and Shenzhoudidi will be shared by Gaozu and Taizong. They will still be worshiped together. Haotian God, Wufangdi Yu Mingtang."

"As for the other things, you can let the Ministry of Rites take care of them. They understand the rest better than me, so there is no need for me to teach them." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order, sent someone to the Ministry of Rites, and asked Shangguan Yi to get up early to issue the edict. After review, it was issued to the whole world.

"I don't know how the situation in Liaodong is now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Didn't it just come out a few days ago that General Xue Rengui took the three cities of Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan in Goguryeo in succession? Our army will surely advance triumphantly, as if the momentum is overwhelming, and the capture of Pyongyang is just around the corner." Wang Quan said.

"Well! Xue Rengui is indeed brave and good at fighting. I want to personally write an imperial edict to reward him, so that he can fight the enemy more bravely, make great achievements, and live forever." Li Chengqian said.

"General Xue Rengui will definitely die for everyone, for the Tang Dynasty." Wang Quan said.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of War has submitted an urgent report!" An eunuch rushed in to report.

"Bring it up, let me have a look." Li Chengqian said.

The eunuch hurried forward, handed the urgent report from the Ministry of War to Li Chengqian, and then returned.

After Li Chengqian saw it, his complexion changed drastically. Even if Wang Quandang knew that something had happened, it was still a big deal.

"Everyone! What did the Ministry of War say?" Wang Quan asked.

"The rebels in Hainan have captured Qiongzhou in my Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan was taken aback when he heard this!Unexpectedly, riots even occurred in Hainan.

"Let all the senior members of the Ministry of War go to the Zichen Palace, and call Long Zhi, Pei Xingjian, and Qiu Shenji along the way." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch immediately bowed and retreated to deliver the emperor's order.

Pei Xingjian and others came to the Zichen Palace to meet the emperor. After some discussions, Li Chengqian decided to appoint Pei Xingjian as the chief commander of the Hainan Road march, and Qiu Shenji and Long Zhi as the deputy chief commanders of the Hainan Road march.

They lead the troops to quell the Liaoren rebellion in Hainan, recover Qiongzhou that was captured by them, and appease the local people by the way.
