Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 976
With Yuangai Suwen's withdrawal of troops, countless people in Silla rejoiced as if they had come back from a desperate situation, and Silla was waiting for prosperity.

Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, is also rejoicing and celebrating together.

Because the victorious cavalry came to Chang'an City again, and the victorious news brought this time was even more amazing.

It only took one day for the army to break through Liaodong City!
You know, that's Liaodong City!
When the news of the two previous successes came, the officials in the DPRK and China generally believed that the next attack on Liaodong City would not be as smooth as before, and that it would take more effort to defeat it.

In this regard, the people in Chang'an city also agree very much.

After all, Liaodong City is not comparable to Jian'an City and Gaimu City.

But it never occurred to them that the army captured Liaodong City in just one day.

In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, the artillery is so awesome!

Su Cheng is so awesome!

They suddenly felt that the civil servants in the court were not doing well, and their faces were all slapped.

Even an important official like Wei Zheng who is well-known in the government and the public has been slapped in the face. From last winter to now, he has been slapped in the face non-stop.

Tsk, it's pretty miserable when you think about it.

However, the common people don't have time to laugh at these civil servants who have been slapped in the face. If they have time, they might as well celebrate this series of brilliant victories.

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, looking very happy.

In fact, when he first learned that the army captured Liaodong City in just one day, he froze.

Because the army captured Liaodong City, it meant that Goguryeo would withdraw from Silla, which also meant that the mission of the emperor's imperial conquest was successfully completed.

Now that the purpose of the expedition has been achieved, the emperor will naturally lead the army to triumph.

The emperor led the army to return triumphantly, which meant that his days of supervising the country were coming to an end.

This is so sad.

However, what he didn't expect was that the father didn't plan to retreat, but planned to continue to attack Goguryeo, which made him overjoyed.

"It took the army only one day to capture Liaodong City. It's a surprise. Congratulations! But, why didn't Your Majesty retreat?" Wei Zheng said loudly.

"As long as Liaodong City is captured, Goguryeo will definitely withdraw from Silla. The purpose of this expedition has been achieved, so why continue to go deeper? Going deep alone, there is a danger of overthrow!"

"The Eastern Expedition went so smoothly, and your Majesty and the soldiers on the expedition despised the Goguryeo people. This is very inappropriate!"

"We should write a letter together to advise His Majesty. It is not appropriate to continue to go deep. We should stick to Liaodong and force Goguryeo to withdraw from Silla, so as to achieve the goal of saving Silla!"

Chu Suiliang and the others all nodded after hearing that, since the goal of saving Silla has been achieved, there is no need to take any more risks.

Although Li Chengqian still had a smile on his face, he was cursing in his heart.

Old man Wei, shut up, you bastard!

Emperor Father, if you want to conquer the East, then you can, and if you want to go deeper, then go deeper, you old bastard!

What if you think the slap in the face isn't painful enough?
Of course, Li Chengqian couldn't say that he didn't want his father to triumph, and he didn't want to lose the opportunity to supervise the country.

Li Chengqian pondered: "We are far away in Chang'an. After all, we don't know what's going on in Liaodong, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions. Maybe the emperor has other deep meanings and we don't know."

Kong Yingda pouted his beard and said, "Is there any deep meaning? Isn't the purpose of this Eastern Expedition to save Silla? Knowing that Liaodong has been defeated, Goguryeo will inevitably withdraw from Silla. Why do we need to go further?"

"It must be the generals who went to the expedition saw that the Eastern Expedition went so smoothly and wanted to make more meritorious deeds, so they encouraged His Majesty to continue to attack Goguryeo in depth!"

"Your Majesty Kong is right. We must write a letter to advise His Majesty. There is no need to continue to mobilize troops. It will only waste the people, waste money, and destroy troops. It is useless to the country!"

"Yes, yes, I will write a letter to persuade Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the civil servants in the hall quickly decided to write a letter to the emperor together, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, it was because he was only the crown prince supervising the country, and he couldn't restrain these civil servants at all.

Did all the civil servants resign and make an appointment to go back to write a memorial, leaving only Li Chengqian, the prince of the supervisor, to stay in Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian's face was cloudy and cloudy, wouldn't this group of civil servants really withdraw their troops against the emperor's persuasion?

Li Chengqian got up and ordered: "Leave the palace with me!"

"Your Highness, do you want to prepare for the ceremony?" the servant next to him asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "No need, just take a few loyal guards around!"

The dignified prince Li Chengqian left the palace in only ordinary clothes, surrounded by twenty or thirty guards.

Now the people in Chang'an City are falling into the carnival of celebrating the great victory, and everyone's excited discussions can be heard everywhere.

"Your Majesty really deserves to be the son of Shengtian! Yujia personally conquered and captured Liaodong City in just one day!"

"Of course! Your Majesty swept the world with iron cavalry back then. How can he be so bad at leading troops in battle?"

"Your Majesty's ability to lead troops to fight was unparalleled in the world at that time, but Duke Rong's ability was also rare in the world. If Duke Rong hadn't made cannons, the Eastern Expedition would not have been so smooth!"

"Yes, yes, Rong Guogong is really a Wenqu star in the world, and he is here to assist His Majesty in revitalizing the Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing the discussions around him, Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling a little envious, wondering if the people in Chang'an would talk about him like this in the future.

Hearing that the people were still praising Su Cheng made him feel quite uncomfortable. He really loved and hated Su Cheng.

I love Su Cheng's peerless talent, and hate Su Cheng for ignoring him as a crown prince. If Su Cheng could be used by him, how great would it be?
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Li Chengqian sneaked in from the corner door of Chen Guogong's mansion, and then Li Chengqian, led by a servant, came to the secluded study room familiarly.

In the study, Hou Junji was holding the book of war and concentrating on it. When he saw Li Chengqian walking in, he put down the book of war in his hand.

"Why did your highness come here suddenly? Your highness supervises the country, and you should pay more attention to your behavior!" Hou Junji said flatly.

Li Chengqian sat down on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice: "The Duke must know, the father led the army to capture Liaodong City in only one day!"

Ever since the victorious cavalry entered the city, the news of the great victory spread wildly in Chang'an. Hou Junji nodded slightly and said: "The artillery is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city, and it has lived up to your majesty's expectations. Su Cheng is indeed a great talent !"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "Does the Duke know that Emperor Father has captured Liaodong City, and he does not plan to withdraw his troops, but continues to attack Goguryeo!"
