Chapter 222 Morning meeting(2/2)
"Another fifty thousand?"
"And another ten thousand?"
"Cause an avalanche."
Everyone exclaimed when they heard this information. Killing 50,000 people was already good, but they didn't expect to kill 50,000 people in one fell swoop and eat another 10,000 people by the way. Avalanches are natural disasters, how could humans cause them?
Questions arose in everyone's mind, but no one raised them at this time.
Li Er was also shocked, but when he thought about Qin Huaidao's repeated miracles, he chose to trust him.
"quiet!"
Wang De raised his voice and shouted.
Although everyone didn't believe it, they still calmed down.
Wang De then continued to read: "After interrogation, it was learned that another 50,000 troops heading south gathered at a natural port north of Shanhaiguan. The army rested for one night and then set off. They arrived at their destination three days later. I led nine sons of the Duke.
Infiltrate the enemy camp again, set fire to the food everywhere, and when exposed, kill directly, kill the torches, and cause the camp to explode. After the ministers and others broke out of the enemy camp, they notified the army to arrive, and went around the perimeter to shoot and expand the chaos until dawn.
The 50,000-strong army was killed, and at this point, all 110,000 Goguryeo enemy troops marching south have been wiped out."
"Another fifty thousand?"
"Blow up the camp?"
Everyone is not stupid and knows how terrible it is to bomb a camp. If the camp is really bombed, it is not impossible to kill 50,000 people, but this is incredible. When did fighting become so easy?
The generals were very excited. Although they did not do it themselves, it was still honorable.
"Your Majesty, I wish to congratulate the Tang Dynasty."
Cheng Yaojin came out excitedly and shouted: "110,000 enemy troops have been wiped out, and there are no more troubles in the territory. Goguryeo is injured. This is a great victory. I congratulate you. I would like to congratulate the Tang Dynasty on getting a peerless general. Five thousand people are in danger."
They not only captured the Khitan Khan and created chaos, but also killed a total of 160,000 Goguryeo regular troops and burned hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass. Who in the world can do this? The Tang Dynasty has such a great talent, and the empire has no worries.
"
"Your Majesty, I wish to congratulate the Tang Dynasty."
The military generals all agreed. The generals are simple-minded and will obey whoever is powerful.
If you compare your feelings with your own, you would never be able to do it on your own.
The civil servant wanted to question him face to face, but he was afraid of being slapped in the face and wished to end the court meeting early.
"The fun is yet to come, keep reading." Li Er said excitedly.
When everyone heard this, they were still not finished. They were afraid that they might go to heaven. They all pricked up their ears and looked at Wang De again.
Wang De felt that after decades of living, he had never been so concerned as today, and he quickly read: "The army returned to Yingzhou and learned that Fang Xiaowei had recruited generals from various ministries and defeated the Xiwandan tribe, and the Khitan was merged into the Dafa.
Tang Huaihuai sent Li Derjian to join them and take over the command. Worried about the lack of troops, he asked the governor of Yingzhou to support a thousand border troops. Xue Wu, the governor's son, was appointed as the general to march eastward to Goguryeo's Phnom Penh City. Once it was captured, he continued south to attack Xincheng.
, I led the main force to attack Huaiyuan. Once it is captured, the two armies will become at loggerheads and tear apart the Goguryeo defense line. It is disrespectful to go back and forth. Huaiyuan is no bigger than a small town. If I win, I will take Liaodong.
After the city, I will submit a letter to report. At that time, I would like to ask the Holy Lord to send a general to Dengzhou and Laizhou to cross the sea, attack in the south with me, and capture most of Goguryeo. I, Huaidao, will write to Yingzhou to wish the Holy Spirit a long and prosperous Tang Dynasty!"
Silence, deathly silence.
Everyone did not expect Qin Huaidao to be so ferocious. Not only did he kill 160,000 Goguryeo troops, he also captured the Khitan. Doesn't it mean that the Khitan and the Xi tribe will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future?
This is the achievement of opening up new territories and conquering the sky!
Cheng Yaojin and other princes laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes. They opened up the territory and expanded the territory. How right and fortunate it was to send their son into the army. Although Qin Huaidao was the main contributor, the soup was too strong.
.
The Wenchen Group is silent and has complicated thoughts. With its achievements in opening up new territories, who can move to Qin Huaidao?
Who dares to think that way?
Li Er smiled with satisfaction and gave the generals a look.
Li Jing nodded knowingly and breathed a sigh of relief. He had recommended Qin Huaidao as a general and said that he was not worried. It was a lie. Thinking of Qin Huaidao's achievements in killing enemies and opening up territories, his blood boiled. He stood out, bowed, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, my ministers.
Please ask your Majesty to march personally, cross the sea from Dengzhou and Laizhou, attack from the north and south with General Dingyuan, capture most of Goguryeo, merge them together, march into Pyongyang, and decide the outcome in one battle."
"I sincerely request the imperial commander to personally march." The princes knew what Li Er was thinking and came out one after another knowingly.
Even Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji also came out to second the proposal.
When the others saw this posture, they didn't realize that they had already made up their minds. To oppose him at this time would be to seek death. They all remained silent and had their own thoughts.
Li Er smiled with satisfaction, full of pride, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I want to personally conquer the East. I will make Li Jing the marshal of the Eastern Campaign, and promote General Dingyuan to General Xuanwei, Marshal of the Left Route Army, Zhiyingzhou, Pingzhou and
Khitan surrendered to all its tribes, and the Duke of E became the marshal of the right army. Xue Wanche, Niu Da, Zhang Liang, Li Junxian, and Qibi Heli each led an army of 20,000 to accompany them. The prince supervised the country and set off for the expedition in three days."
General Xuanwei was promoted from the fourth rank, but no one dared to object to this promotion, and they all shouted: "I obey the order!"
Prince Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he saw that he could supervise the country.
When Hou Junji saw that he had no part in such a war to destroy the country, he felt unhappy, but he did not show it.
"Retreat from the imperial court!" Li Er shouted, with high spirits and excitement. He could finally go to the battlefield again. If the battle to destroy the country could be successful, he would definitely leave his mark in the history of history. What a pleasure!
The princes were overjoyed when their names were called. Seeing that he had no chance, Cheng Yaojin left with a dark face. Wang De stopped him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty invites you, please come with us." After that, he looked at the few people just now.
A general whose name was called upon.
Everyone nodded happily and followed to the Manna Hall.
Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, you are unfair. I, Old Cheng, can still raise the stakes. Why don't you let me follow? I don't accept it."
"You are such a murderous person, but you are so angry." Li Er said with a smile. Naturally, he did not have to keep a straight face when dealing with the ministers around him. He motioned for everyone to sit down and then added: "I don't worry if the Nanya Division is handed over to others. I'm not here. This emperor
I leave the city's security to you, don't let me down."
These words meant something, and everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin understandingly.
Cheng Yaojin also came to his senses and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I promise you that the same thing you will do when you come back."
"Okay, let's talk." Li Er looked at Li Jing with a smile.
Li Jing ended the topic knowingly and said: "Your Majesty, I have always wondered why Goguryeo's southward army did not attack the city. It turned out to be lack of food. General Dingyuan, no... Now it is time to call him General Xuanwei, but he was promoted too quickly.
Will something happen?"
"Who dares to dissatisfy? Kill hundreds of thousands of enemy troops for me, capture the Khitan, and let the Xi people return to the same territory. Huaidao was originally the fifth grade, and it is only the fourth grade. It is nothing. When the war is over, I will come back
Rewards based on merit." Li Er said domineeringly.
With real military success in hand, who dares to object?
Everyone thought it right and laughed, thinking that their own sons would follow suit and make meritorious deeds, and they felt very good.
Fang Xuanling did not expect that Qin Huaidao would give the reckless man in his family a chance, and he was filled with emotion. He recruited the Khitan tribes and won over the Khitan. This was a big contribution. If he captured Phnom Penh City and Xincheng again, he would form a rivalry with Huaiyuan.
, being granted a title is not a problem, what a blessing this is.
Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling became more and more fond of Qin Huaidao and said: "Your Majesty, if General Xuanwei captures Huaiyuan, how certain is it that he can capture Liaodong City?"
The generals present were all warriors who were proficient in war, and they all began to think about it.
Li Er thought for a while and said: "The Yingzhou frontier army needs to stay and guard the prisoners to ensure that Yingzhou is not lost. Huai Dao only has a few thousand troops around him, and even if he recruits soldiers from the prisoners, there will only be more than 10,000 soldiers. Under a sneak attack,
, Defeating Huaiyuan in the first battle is not a big problem, but it is not easy to capture Liaodong City. The large city of Liaodong has more than 20,000 defenders. However, Huaidao has repeatedly performed miracles, maybe there is a way." He said and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, if I come to take command, I am 70% sure of taking Liaodong, but the loss will not be small. General Xuanwei used 5,000 troops to fight against Goguryeo and 160,000, and he still has enough strength to go to Huaiyuan. I'm afraid the loss of troops will not be small."
It is so big that it is simply a miracle. From this, we can also infer that General Xuanwei uses tactics in every battle. He does not like to lose too much. Avalanches and camp bombings are incredible when he thinks about it. When the loss is not big, he can only infiltrate into the city.
, open the city gate and let the main force rush in. If General Xuanwei can infiltrate Liaodong City, it must not be a big problem to infiltrate Huaiyuan Town."
"That makes sense. I'm really looking forward to it. When we meet, I'll ask you carefully to see how this battle was fought. It's simply unbelievable, even the military sage Wu Qi can't exaggerate." Li Er said with emotion.
"To destroy 160,000 with five thousand is unprecedented." Li Jing reminded.
"Your Majesty, I would like to lead an army of 20,000 as the vanguard." Xue Wanche took the opportunity to say that he received a letter from Xue Wanshu's family last night and knew some inside information. He was grateful to Qin Huaidao. Although he could not directly lead his troops to help, it did not prevent him from showing his gesture.
Solidarity.
"allow!"
Li Er could guess Xue Wanche's thoughts and did not object, otherwise he would not have ordered Xue Wanche's generals. He looked at Xu Shiji and said, "You can lead Baiqisi out of the city secretly and capture the nine Wang clans in Taiyuan."
"I obey the order!" Xu Shiji solemnly accepted the order and hurried away.
An invisible murderous intention broke out, but no one felt anything was wrong. Anyone who conspired against him would be punished!
Luring an enemy country to invade and joining forces to rebel is an unforgivable crime!
Li Er looked at everyone and said with high spirits: "Everyone, this battle is of great importance. It may be the last time for you and me to go to the battlefield in our lives. There must be no room for failure. During this period, I have urged the Ministry of Industry to make a lot of repeating crossbows. I will distribute them today and familiarize myself with the three crossbows."
God, make all necessary preparations and set off for the expedition in three days without any mistakes."
"According to the order!"
Everyone accepted the order with a bang, their eyes wild.
Chapter completed!
