Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3359
Hearing that His Majesty Li Er said that he would come to the battle in person to supervise the battle of the Seven Stars Gate, all the people present got up in fright and tried to dissuade him.

In fact, everyone here is worried about His Majesty Li Er's physical condition.

The exhaustion, decadence, and malaise that the emperor showed from time to time could not be concealed by any means. Although such times were not many, he would return to normal in a blink of an eye, and even be more energetic than before, but this polarized state was even more serious. is worrying.

Although he used to be the emperor on horseback who charged into the battle, but after all, he was old and in such a bad physical condition, who would dare to let him come to the battle in person?
In case of any accident, the consequences would be unimaginable...

The crowd tried to dissuade him, and His Majesty Li Er's brain ached from the quarrel. He waved his hand impatiently, and said in displeasure: "Back then, I was the head of a general out of a million troops, and I even took three thousand soldiers outside the Hulao Pass. Breaking one hundred thousand, did you guys forget my achievements and think that I am a waste like Yang Guang who is older than the deep palace?"

All the ministers were speechless. Whenever His Majesty Li Er mentioned the achievements of previous years, everyone felt that there was nothing to say.

Because His Majesty Li Er's past achievements are indeed extremely shining, among all the emperors who are not the founding emperors, there are very few who can compare with His Majesty Li Er...

His Majesty Li Er felt very excited at this moment, his blood seemed to be burning and stirring, and he couldn't wait to witness the scene of the Tang army rushing into Ping Rang City like a tide, and achieve his great achievements in the past and the present.If one honestly sits in the tent of the Chinese army and waits for the battle report, but cannot be in it, the kind of carefree pleasure will definitely be reduced too much.

"You don't need to persuade me. I am in good health, my spirit is better, and I have your loyal guards, so what can go wrong? Besides, Chang Sun Chong is already in charge of the Seven Star Gate. He will open the gate as soon as the army comes to the city. To welcome the army into the city, I will wait for the news of success in Anhe Palace, so nothing will go wrong."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's face twitched, he hesitated to speak.

He is also an outstanding person in the world. He was on horseback to rule the army and off the horse to rule the people. He has experienced countless storms in his life. There are various variables.

What's more, the current situation is on the battlefield, and the situation is changing rapidly. Who can guarantee that Chang Sun Chong will be able to open the Seven Star Gate smoothly and welcome the army into the city?
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, no one will understand the truth that "nothing is absolute" and will only vent their anger on Chang Sun Chong.

If His Majesty came to the battle in person and there was even the slightest mistake, the entire eldest grandson's family would have to bear the overwhelming responsibility for it...

However, after following His Majesty Li Er for so many years, Changsun Wuji is very familiar with His Majesty Li Er's temperament. He knows that whenever His Majesty Li Er shows such an impatient expression, it means that he has made up his mind and no one can change it.

It was as if he insisted on accepting Qi Wang Yuanji's wife, Yang Shi, as his concubine, and even brought the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin into the palace, despite the opposition from the ruling and opposition parties, he remained unmoved...

All the ministers also understood His Majesty Li Er's character, seeing that he was so stubborn, they didn't dare to persuade him too much.

But think about it, Anhe Palace has already been captured by Xue Wanche, the defenders in the palace have been wiped out, and they are all occupied by the Tang army, and there is still a distance from the Seven Star Gate, so there is nothing wrong with it...

Seeing that the ministers no longer objected, His Majesty Li Er was full of interest. He shook the sword at his waist and said with a high spirited smile: "Before, you were still opposed to launching a general attack at this moment. If I hadn't insisted on going my own way, how could we have the current situation? Hurry up and conquer Ping Rang City, Goguryeo was destroyed, and the head of the Yuan thief was shown to the public, so I set off with you and returned to Chang'an, and had a celebration wine with you in the Tai Chi Palace!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I'll wait until I die!"

……

After all the ministers said good things, His Majesty Li Er became more and more energetic, impatiently impulsive, and said loudly: "Assemble the guards, let's go to Anhe Palace immediately, and sit and watch Xue Wanche enter the Seven Star Gate!"

"Here!"

Everyone walked out of the tent, and when the imperial guards assembled, Li Ji personally brought the horses to His Majesty Li Er, and then hundreds of people surrounded His Majesty Li Er to head to Anhe Palace under the heavy snow.

After fighting overnight along the way, the Tang army was already gathering troops. Some were resting on the spot, waiting to light a fire to make food, some gathered in teams and returned to the camp, and there were even more soldiers carts to transport supplies.Tens of thousands of people shuttled back and forth on this road, forcibly trampling the frozen soil into mud.

Although they fought all night, they were victorious ahead. All the soldiers were filled with excitement. Seeing His Majesty Li Er coming in person, they knelt on one knee on both sides of the road and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er became more and more excited, and waved his hands at these soldiers again and again. Fang Zheng's face seemed to be glowing, and he said loudly on his horseback: "After the triumphant return, I will drink with you in Chang'an, and reward you for your merits!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The soldiers were elated, and it was a great fortune to get the emperor's response. If they could really get wine from the emperor in the future, wouldn't it be smoke from the ancestral grave?

All the generals looked at each other, feeling that His Majesty was a little too excited today...

After falling down in front of Anhe Palace, the abandoned palace on the hillside was shrouded in heavy snow. The flames of the war last night had not been extinguished, and puffs of black smoke rose up.Entering the city from the city gate that was blown up by gunpowder, you can see busy soldiers collecting corpses everywhere, and stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere. One can imagine how fierce the battle was last night.

His Majesty Li Er walked slowly forward on horseback, and everywhere he looked was the ruins after the war. He couldn't help admiring: "It is said that Xue Wanche is a single-minded and stupid person, but when it comes to leading soldiers to fight, it is considered a good thing." Being the No. [-] figure in the world, especially this kind of tough battle that can only be won but not defeated, has never disappointed me."

Everyone knew that Xue Wanche's achievements in this battle were solid, and perhaps only Zhang Sun Chong's first attack on the Eastern Expedition, which opened the Seven Star Gate, could rank above it.

It's inevitable that there will be sourness in everyone's heart, will that idiot fight a fart?I only know how to rush and fight desperately, and I don't have the slightest strategy. I can't see any military literacy at all, okay?
What's more, the battle of the Eastern Expedition has reached this point, and the victory is already determined. Anyone who comes to attack the Anhe Palace will undoubtedly win, but it happened that Xue Wanche took a big advantage...

In the distance, Cheng Yaojin in military uniform heard that His Majesty Li Er was coming, so he hurried over to greet him.

Panting and panting, he ran to Majesty Li Er's horse, bowed and saluted: "The old minister has seen His Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er jumped off his horse, stepped forward to help Cheng Yaojin up, and pretended to be annoyed: "You are not young, you are wounded, your muscles and bones are weak, you need to pay more attention to self-cultivation. Leave such tedious matters to me." Just let the young people do it, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled wryly and said: "It's not that the old minister is worried about everything, he really dare not slack off at all. How to deal with these thousands of seriously injured prisoners is really frustrating..."

"Ok?"

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback, and said strangely: "The Anhe Palace was brought down by Xue Wanche, why do you need to intervene to deal with the prisoners?"

The army has its own rules. Generally speaking, whoever captures a city is responsible for all the seizures in the city. Others, even if they are senior officials, cannot intervene.

When a soldier fights a war, he earns meritorious service with his head in his hands. If you steal the merits of your subordinates by relying on official shit, who will give you your life?
Cheng Yaojin is indeed a bit muddled at times and doesn't make much sense, but after fighting all his life, he wouldn't take advantage of his subordinates, would he?Besides, that Xue Wanche is more "sticky" than Fang Er, how could he be willing to allow his meritorious deeds to be snatched by others?

I'm afraid I have to use my dog's brain to do it...

Cheng Yaojin smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "General Xue was in a hurry to storm the Seven Star Gate, so after he captured Anhe Palace, he left the matter of the placement of the seriously injured prisoners to the old minister, and led the troops into battle... In terms of fighting, the veteran boasted that I have some ability, but how can the veteran deal with such logistical matters? It just so happens that Your Majesty and you are here, please give the veteran some advice, what should I do?"

His Majesty Li Er's face darkened, and his heart was really troublesome.

It stands to reason that the seriously injured captives can be left to fend for themselves, there is no need to massacre, but there is no need to waste medicinal materials and manpower to treat them, since most of them cannot be saved anyway.

But right now, Ping Rang City is right in front of us, and more than [-] defenders in the city are waiting for death. These captives will greatly affect the morale of the army in the city. When defending the city without hesitation and fighting desperately, the Tang army will suffer great casualties.

But if we treat them kindly and try our best to treat them, it will take a lot of food and supplies... When the Tang army's own supplies are stretched, what do the soldiers of the Tang army think if they spend medicine and food to treat these seriously injured prisoners who are almost dead? ?
His Majesty Li Er turned his head to ask Li Ji who was behind him with a sullen face: "What is the British consensus on how to deal with this matter?"

Li Ji: "..."
