Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3002
Holding the teacup in his hand, His Majesty Li Er snorted heavily.

The emperor is the supreme and most honorable person in the world, but at the same time he has become the most dangerous person in the world, and he must always be on guard against evil intentions and rebelliousness.Not only the heroes of the world, but also the court ministers must guard against it, even their relatives, old friends, brothers and sisters must guard against it.

Even the closer one is, the easier it is to covet this position, and the easier it is to succeed...

Lonely, nothing more than the case.

Now that the emperor is driving himself to Liaodong, one can imagine how excited those people with ulterior motives in Chang'an must be.

The military strength in Guanzhong is empty, so some black-minded bastards think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they are about to move in the dark. The foundation of the empire is facing a severe test. It can be said that the dynasty will change if it is not careful.

But danger often breeds opportunity.

If there is no such a chance for people to see success, how can those people jump out so eagerly?
Therefore, the core of the emperor's art is "forbearance". To endure what ordinary people can't bear is the opportunity to seize it; .

He has been able to endure Wei Zheng for so many years, it's almost a resignation, now he tolerates those clown-like things, what's the problem?
As an emperor, if he can't even do the word "forbearance", what can he do?Although opening and closing seems very imposing, it often gives rise to sorrow, completely intensifying all the contradictions, and failing to give sufficient buffer.

A generation of heroic heroes like Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi are a lesson from the past...

……

Spying with Li Ji, the anger in His Majesty Li Er's heart was reduced. After all, as an emperor, he has to endure obedience and betrayal all the time. Thousands of people have thousands of faces and hearts. Willingly worship and let him rule under the majesty, not to mention those honorable ministers who have seen the taste of power?
Wen has Xiao Yu, and Wu has Fang Jun. These two people are enough to help the crown prince guard Chang'an. What the emperor has to do now is to hold his ground. As long as he wins one victory after another on the battlefield in Liaodong, his momentum Naturally, it goes straight to the sky, and there will be no chaos in Chang'an.

In the evening, it rained again.

The climate in Liaodong is bitter and cold. Although the land has thawed and the vegetation has returned to spring, the rain at night is still cool to the bones, and the chill invades.

In the past few days, the exhausted boats and vehicles marched urgently. His Majesty Li Er, who has been pampered for many years, could not bear it even if he had a good foundation. He took a hot bath and asked the servant who had been with him for many years to massage his sore body. I fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, there were bursts of people shouting and neighing outside the tent, waking His Majesty Li Er from his sleep.

Rubbing his swollen forehead, His Majesty Li Er endured the sore body and turned over to sit up. He forced himself to drink and asked, "What's going on outside? It's strictly forbidden to make noise near the big tent, even the military regulations?"

The curtain of the military tent was opened from the outside, and a servant walked in quickly, and said softly: "Return to Your Majesty, a scout just reported that Duke Lu's headquarters has penetrated the rear of the Far East City along the west bank of the Liaoshui River, and is ready to cooperate with the army on both sides. Attack. Therefore, the Duke of England ordered all the soldiers to make fires, prepare meals, pack their luggage, and when His Majesty woke up, he called all the generals to discuss when to attack."

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin had moved to the designated position according to the plan, forming a pincer attack on the Far East City, a big victory was in sight. Liaoshui, which was regarded as a natural barrier by the Goguryeo people, would be easily broken by the Tang army, and the entire Liaodong battlefield The situation was very good, and His Majesty Li Er suddenly became much more energetic.

Shaking his head, he said, "Bring me some medicine."

"promise."

The servant didn't dare to say more, so he quickly bent down and got under His Majesty Li Er's bed, took out a brocade box from a cage, opened it, took out a brightly colored pill, and put the brocade box back to its original place, He got up and poured a glass of water, and handed the pill to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er took the pill, hesitated for a moment, put it in his mouth, took a sip of water and swallowed it.

"Serve me to wash and change clothes!"

"promise!"

The servant hurriedly called another colleague in, and the two of them helped His Majesty Li Er wash his head and face, had a simple breakfast, and then put on the heavy armor.

At this time, the sky outside was slightly bright, but the pattering rain did not stop all night.

His Majesty Li Er was full of energy, and the sleepiness he felt when he got up early had long since disappeared. Except for the entrance of the military tent, a servant put on a coir raincoat for him, guarded by the imperial guards, and walked to the large tent of the Chinese army not far away.

A moment later, the sound of rumbling drums sounded in the barracks, and several generals rushed from their respective troops on horseback and quickly entered the tent.

His Majesty Li Er was sitting in the main seat with a golden sword on his horse, with a ruddy complexion and sharp eyes, which seemed to be almost the same as when he was in the army and fighting with heroes from all walks of life.

Li Ji, Zhang Jian, Yu Chigong, Ashina Simo, Zhou Daowu, Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Dadu, Qiu Xiaozhong and other generals lined up on the left and right, while Zhu Suiliang sat alone behind His Majesty Li Er and was in charge of the marching records.

"Can the Ministry of the State of Lu arrive at the designated location?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xue Wanche's troops forcibly crossed the Liaoshui River to conquer Xincheng, then defeated the rescuers in Nansu City, turned back to meet Lu Guogong's troops crossed the Liaoshui River, and joined forces. Then they went down the Liaoshui River, with a drum After defeating Xuantu City and Baiyan City, the troops were divided into two groups. One route was between Gaimu City and Mudi City, so that they could not be rescued. They continued to move westward and captured Huaiyuan Town at noon yesterday. After arriving at the Far East City, form a formation, and at any time, we can cooperate with the army to attack the Far East City from both sides."

On the wall was a detailed map of Koguryo printed and drawn by the Ministry of War, but Li Ji didn't need to look at it at all, and reported the route and current situation of the army one by one, accurately.

His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Where is the Navy now?"

Li Jidao: "There is no news yet, but according to the plan, Su Dingfang will lead the main force of the navy to set sail from Huating Town, cross the sea and land on the coast of Jian'an City, cooperate with the main force of the army to attack Jian'an City, and then obtain supplies and fodder. "

Jian'an City is not far from the sea, and there are mountains and mountains in the territory. Only in the west is a plain extending south along the coast, which can directly reach Beisha City.

The original plan was to wait until the main force of the Tang army crossed the Liaoshui River to conquer the Far East City, and then go south all the way to Jian'an City to meet up and launch an attack.After capturing Jian'an City, they obtained supplies from the navy, and then marched eastward until they reached Anshi City, the most important town of Goguryeo in Eastern Liaodong.

As long as Anshi City is captured, it is equivalent to annihilating all the Goguryeo resistance in the old place of Xuantu County. You can safely and boldly go south to attack Black Bone City. Cooperate with the main force at sea for joint operations.

So far, it is less than five hundred miles away from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help feeling a little strange.As the strongest water force in this era, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, which runs across the seven seas and oceans, has always been able to only serve as the role of transporting luggage and cooperating with the main force in combat. It is no wonder that Fang Jun tried to give the navy a full strategic position. , undertake more important combat tasks.

In particular, Fang Jun once mentioned the tactic of "going straight into the mouth of the river with the power of a navy, and then going upstream to hit the city of Pyongyang". It cannot be said that the capital of Koguryo can really be equipped with advanced firearms It depends on the war.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Navy was excluded from the main combat sequence.

Merits are not enough...

His Majesty Li Er didn't have time to pay attention to Li Ji's careful thoughts, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the army ready?"

"The assembly is complete!"

"War can start at any time!"

"All the ministries prepare meals in the morning, break out camps and prepare, and conquer the Far East City in the first battle!"

The generals in the account spoke out one after another, and their morale was high.

His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "Since this is the case, it is not too late. Immediately cross the Liaoshui River to attack the Far East City, and at the same time send scouts to Lu Guogong's army and order them to cooperate with the main force to fight! This battle is the first battle of my royal conquest. If you are afraid of the enemy and don't move forward, and delay the opportunity of the battle, you will be decisive!"

"promise!"

All the generals responded with a bang.

"Woooooo-"

The sound of horns resounded through the sky, the muffled sound of drums fluttered across the vast Liaoshui, countless banners rolled up in the wind and rain, hundreds of thousands of armored and well-equipped Datang troops assembled, and marched neatly towards Liaoshui. Drive boats, build pontoon bridges, and implement forced crossings on the west side of the river bank that is tens of miles long.

All of a sudden, the flags and flags changed color.
