Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 963 Good News
Just when everyone was talking about being happy, Su Dingfang strode in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the last general was ordered to pursue the enemy troops who escaped from the city, but the last general is ashamed, let the northern Sao Gao prolong his life." Get away, Your Majesty has orders to let the last general chase after twenty miles and return, so the last general dare not disobey orders and continue to chase!"

It would undoubtedly be a great achievement if he could catch up with that northern Xunsa, but it is a pity that Gao Yanshou's personal soldiers protected him and killed him out of the encirclement.

The martial arts skills of this northern Zhasa are not very good, but there are quite a few personal soldiers, and all of them are elite soldiers, and they work very hard.

Su Dingfang felt sorry, not only he felt sorry, but many generals in the hall also felt sorry.

However, there was no regret on Li Shimin's face, and he said with a smile: "Gao Yanshou was born in a famous family to be able to occupy a high position. In fact, his ability is mediocre, and he is timid and timid, but he is very happy. It doesn't do much good, maybe letting him go may have even greater benefits."

Although he had never met Gao Yanshou, through this battle, Li Shimin had seen Gao Yanshou thoroughly.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "What your majesty said is that although Gao Yanshou lost Liaodong City, the Gao family is deeply rooted in Goguryeo, so he will definitely be exonerated, and maybe he can continue to lead the army!"

While listening, Su Cheng inexplicably remembered a person in history, that is Li Jinglong. During the Jingnan period, Emperor Jianwen entrusted Li Jinglong with a heavy responsibility to lead the army. As a result, Li Jinglong lost consecutive battles. Later, Zhu Di became the emperor and rewarded Li Jinglong extremely generously. Rank the ministers first.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "If Gao Yanshou still leads the army, he can be regarded as a meritorious minister. Your Majesty might as well make him an official, and his loyalty to Datang will not be in vain!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he laughed and said, "If he really understands the current affairs and submits to me, just because of this battle in Liaodong City, I will reward him as well!"

All the generals in the hall couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Being rewarded for losing a battle is not a matter of honor, and there is nothing to envy.

Chang'an has long been warm, and the cavalry who reported the victory finally rushed to Chang'an City.

"Good news from Liaodong!"

The cavalry galloped past on Suzaku Avenue, leaving only a hoarse and joyous cry.

The people on the long street who heard this were all stunned, and then they were sincerely pleasantly surprised.

Since the emperor's personal conquest, there has been no news from Liaodong. The officials and people in Chang'an are still a little worried. Although the emperor brought a group of famous generals in the court, he only brought 10,000+ soldiers and horses.

Now hearing the news of the great victory in Liaodong, everyone who heard it felt a long sigh of relief.

The victorious cavalry came to the palace, and the officials in the government offices of the three provinces and six ministries became excited.

Although before the expedition, most of the civil servants were opposed to the expedition, and even made a lot of noise about it, but when the emperor really went to the expedition, they also hoped from the bottom of their hearts that the army would return victorious.

So upon hearing the good news, all the ministers were relieved.

"What good news?"

"The army captured Jian'an City in less than a day!"

"What? Captured Jian'an City in less than a day?"

"Jian'an City is not a small city. Goguryeo has always attached great importance to Jian'an City. Not only has it displayed a large army, but it is also well prepared!"

"Why don't you say it took a lot of effort for the vanguard to capture Jian'an City during the Sui East Expedition!"

"Your Majesty captured Jian'an City in less than a day, which is really remarkable!"

"I don't know if our army is too strong, but the current Goguryeo army is too weak?"

"I heard that the artillery made a great contribution, and it directly stunned the defenders of Jian'an City!"

This is a good start, and it is a good start. If it can go on like this, it will be great.

Li Chengqian's face was very rosy. Since the army was launched, he, the crown prince, has been entrusted with supervising the country. Although there are still various restrictions, and although he has to send all the political affairs he handles to Liaodong, he also feels a little bit like an emperor. taste.

It was just this taste that made Li Chengqian addicted, so he was very pleasantly surprised when he received the good news.

In his heart, he was expecting the army to win consecutive battles. Apart from his mentality of being from the Tang Dynasty, he also had his own thoughts. The law continues to supervise the country.

If the army wins consecutive battles, the army will naturally continue to fight, and he, the crown prince, can continue to supervise the country.

So Li Chengqian who received the good news was very happy, and couldn't help but said happily: "Okay, okay, great, my palace is still worrying about it, my father, the emperor's personal conquest, is really invincible!"

Wei Zheng, who has always been stern, couldn't help showing a smile at this moment. The Eastern Expedition had a great influence on Datang. If the Eastern Expedition goes smoothly, the benefits to Datang are self-evident.

The reason why he opposed the Eastern Expedition before was that he was only worried that the Eastern Expedition would fail. Now that the emperor's personal expedition has won the first battle, he is relieved.

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "The Shenji Battalion has really made great achievements, the artillery is really a sharp weapon to attack the city! If there is no Shenji Battalion, the old minister would not have agreed to His Majesty's personal conquest, and the Shenji Battalion has not let the veteran down. expectations."

Li Chengqian had also seen the spectacular scene of a hundred artillery fires before, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, with the artillery, the imperial father's personal conquest is like adding wings to a tiger!"

Li Chengqian was not the only one who was surprised. After the cavalry galloped into Chang'an City, the Sujiazhuang soon got the news.

Princess Changle lost a lot of weight. After receiving the good news, she had a rare smile on her face, and quickly invited Wu Jue and the others to share the good news with everyone.

She knew that these days, Wu Jue and the others missed her as much as she did.

"It took less than a day to capture Jian'an City. The Shenji Battalion made great contributions. The artillery bombarded the defenders of Jian'an City and lost their morale." Princess Changle said with a smile on her face, although she didn't care about Su Cheng's ability. She can't do meritorious deeds, she just wants Su Cheng to come back safely, but of course she is also sincerely happy that Su Cheng has really made great contributions.

Wu Jue and the others were all very happy when they heard this, and Wu Jue asked with concern: "Princess, do you have a letter from your father-in-law?"

Princess Changle smiled and said: "I'm going to the palace to ask, I know you are all worried, so let me tell you first, to make you happy too!"

Wu Jue and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this. Of course, they wanted to see Su Cheng's letter even more now.
