Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3188 Continually Probing
In every family, the son is second only to the patriarch. Even the elders of the family must be respected and cultivated by the whole family. After all, a qualified patriarch can prosper a clan, but a scum patriarch can perishing family.

As the son of the eldest son, how could the family not know what the eldest grandson Jun went to the Western Regions to do and who he met?
If you really don't know, then there are only two possibilities, either the members of the clan are lying, or Changsun Jun acted on his own.

Changsun Jun was already dead, even if he committed a huge mistake, the living would not be implicated.

But if the members of the clan lied and deliberately concealed the news that Changsun Jun was going to Damascus...then things would explode.

Changsun Jun can naturally go to Damascus, but why did the family hide it?Is there any ulterior purpose?

What's more important is that Changsun Jun went to Damascus, was killed on the way back, and then Damascus mobilized troops and horses, brazenly invaded the Western Regions.

Is there any connection between them?

If so, what is this connection?
Changsun Wuji's face was especially calm. Facing His Majesty Li Er's constant probing and questioning, his heart was beating wildly, his back was chilly, already drenched in cold sweat.

He knew that His Majesty must have known something.

When they were young, they fell in love with each other and shared the same interests. After so many years of hard work and hard work, no one can understand His Majesty Li Er's character better than Changsun Wuji.He is well aware of His Majesty Li Er's stubbornness hidden under his generosity, and the kind of pride that goes deep into the bone marrow.

He can forgive those who betray him, but he will never forgive those who deceive him.

……

His Majesty Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji with a pair of fierce eyes, his heart was beating wildly as he looked at Changsun Wuji, his face barely maintained a look of sadness, and he did not show any panic.

After a while, His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and then said calmly: "Don't worry about the auxiliary machine, I will ask the 'Baiqisi' to send people to investigate this matter, as long as it is confirmed who the murderer is." , will definitely seek justice for the auxiliary machine. My royal relatives and relatives, all of whom are of noble status, can let the savage and barbarian kill wantonly, and even get away with it? Never forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Changsun Wuji burst into tears of gratitude.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, showing a trace of tiredness, and said: "Why do we need to be polite between our monarchs and ministers? Alright, I'm a little tired, the auxiliary machine will go back for now."

"Here. Teacher's expedition not only consumes a lot of energy and physical strength, but also has the disease of acclimatization. Your Majesty is the king of Wancheng, and the safety of the empire is at stake. You should take good care of it. The old minister resigns."

Seeing His Majesty Li Er nodding his head, Changsun Wuji got up to salute, took three steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent.

His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Changsun Wuji's slightly stooped back, subconsciously exerting force on the palm of his hand holding the teacup, the veins on the back of his hand protruding.

A square face was full of haze.

……

Changsun Wuji came out of the big tent, returned to his own tent, drove all the guards out to guard the door, called the loyal servant who followed him to the expedition, and asked him to fetch paper and pen, grind the ink, and take the brush to fill his mouth. After dipping in the ink and thinking for a while, he began to write.

This letter is addressed to Changsun Chong.

The letter mentioned His Majesty's request and instructions, as well as the news of the great victory in Hexi, and urged Chang Sun Chong not to give up on negotiating peace between the two parties, so as to paralyze Yuan Gaisuwen's vigilance, and strive for a better situation for the army to attack Pingrang City. It is mentioned that His Majesty once again promised Changsun Chong to return to Chang'an in spite of his crimes and meritorious deeds.

After finishing writing, Changsun Wuji dried the ink stains, but instead of folding and stuffing them into the envelope, he turned the letter paper over on the desk and waved his hand at his loyal servant.

The loyal servant went to Changsun Wuji's bed, lay down on the ground, took out an ordinary wooden box from under the bed, put it on the table in front of Changsun Wuji, and took a box containing water. washbasin.

Changsun Wuji opened the wooden box, and inside was a glass mirror with intricate and exquisite patterns.The army is generally not allowed to carry this thing when they are going on an expedition. After all, it is fragile and troublesome to store, and it is easy to injure people after it is broken.

However, Changsun Wuji's status is different, so many taboos can be broken naturally, and many military laws must be completely obeyed one by one.

The loyal servant picked up a piece of paper from the table, soaked it in water, and then pasted it on the smooth mirror surface, then picked up another piece of paper and carefully covered it, and the two pieces of paper were tightly attached.

Changsun Wuji took the brush and wrote on the paper the letter that he really wanted to send to Changsun Chong.

After finishing writing, peel off the above paper, tear it into pieces and throw it away, carefully remove the paper attached to the mirror, and let it dry.

After doing this, Changsun Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, put down the brush, got up and half-lyed on the couch beside him, squinting his eyes, thinking about his thoughts.

The great victory in Hexi almost cut off Chang Sun Chong's chances of reaching a peace negotiation. Anyone who missed such a great feat would be depressed, and it was inevitable to have some resentment towards Fang Jun, let alone the fact that he had always been with Fang Jun. The eldest grandson Wuji who is not easy to deal with.

However, the matter has come to this point, even if he is bored out of illness, it cannot be changed. The most important thing right now is to tell the eldest Sun Chong to hold his ground, form an alliance with the boy from Yuan, and when the Tang army is approaching the city, raise troops to make food. Capture Ping Rang City.

It would be a great achievement if the royal family of Goguryeo could be rescued smoothly.

Although it is not as good as the first attack that single-handedly facilitated the peace talks between the two countries, it is enough to pay off the crime and win the amnesty order of His Majesty Li Er.

However, the key point is still the mysterious and missing "Wang Zhuangjun".

Since the start of the war, the Tang army has been rushing forward and winning consecutive battles, and the hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops have lost their helmets and armor, and they have been defeated.However, in fact, most of Goguryeo's so-called hundreds of thousands of troops were herdsmen, farmers, and prisoners recruited temporarily, and less than half of the real regular army.

Among them, the elites are not low in combat power, as can be seen in the battle of Anshi City. The Tang army had several times the strength of the enemy to besiege Anshi City, and used gunpowder and other siege weapons, still paying a huge price. Capture Anshi City.

In the city of Anshi, there are [-] elite Koguryo troops.

Therefore, the real elite army of the Goguryeo Army is not only not bad in combat effectiveness, but very strong.The "Wang Zhuan Army", which has always been regarded as the elite of the Goguryeo army, has obvious combat effectiveness.Otherwise, how could the Goguryeo royal family and Yuan Gaisuwen regard it as the foundation of their rule?
The reason why the Goguryeo royal family completely lost the ability to resist and had to allow Yuan Gai Su Wen to seize military and political power was because the "Wang Zhuan Army" that had always been the royal family was rebelled by Yuan Gai Su Wen, and was later purged by Yuan Gai Su Wen Once again, the army is filled with Yuan Gai Suwen's confidantes.

Obviously, the tyrannical combat power of the "Wang Zhuan Army" can already determine the ownership of the royal power in Goguryeo...

Such a strong army has been hidden in the dark, which is a great hidden danger.In case the battle of Ping Rang City is in full swing, this army suddenly comes out from behind the scenes, which can easily overturn the situation at that time, and even play an unexpected strategic role.

Therefore, he told Chang Sun Chong to find out the reality of the "Wang Zhuan Army", and at the very least understand where the "Wang Zhuang Army" is located and its strategic purpose.

Otherwise, the Tang army suffered huge losses due to the omission of the "Wang Zhuan Army". Even if the Tang army eventually captured Pingrang City and fell to Goguryeo, the credit of Changsun Chong would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Even if the "Wang Zhuang Army" uses a "beheading tactic", the Tang Army's command center will be severely damaged by the chaos, which may cause the Tang Army to fall short and face a major defeat.

At that time, it will not only be a question of whether meritorious deeds can be discounted, but all the guilt will have to be borne by Changsun Chong who has been lurking in Ping Rang City, and even the Changsun family will be implicated...

"Master, the paper is already dry."

"Oh."

Changsun Wuji endured the sore back, sat up from the bed, raised his foot to the desk, folded the dry paper a few times, made it into an envelope, and put the letter he had written before. Stuff it in, seal it with wax paint, and stamp your own seal on the wax paint.

When the wax had cooled and solidified, Changsun Wuji handed the envelope to the loyal servant, and ordered: "Take a few capable generals and rush to Pingrang City to deliver this letter to Da Lang, and let him obey orders. main idea."

"Here."

The loyal servant finished the envelope, put it close to his body, saluted and strode out of the tent, ordered more than ten capable generals, rode away from the barracks, and rushed upstream.

There are very few large ferries along the Yalu River, but there are many small ones. These ferries are not conducive to the passage of large troops, but there are ships ferrying passengers here and there all the year round.

The loyal servant had just arrived at the upstream ferry, and there was already a rumbling sound from the downstream direction of Bojia City, and the siege battle began.
