Datang Longya

Chapter 827 The whole country mourns together (2)

Li Shimin handed the memorial to Wuming, asking him to bring the memorial to Fang Xuanling and let him read it out.

Fang Xuanling's solemn expression read in the final memorial: "Your minister Du Ruhui is at the head of Gaochang. Today, the 19 recruits brought by the minister have arrived in Gaochang. However, Gaochang has already been destroyed. When the minister arrived, the Duke of the Protectorate led only one [-] people are about to die with the enemy's [-] troops.

Looking around the battlefield, Gaochang was surrounded by dead bodies of foreign enemies, and outside the city, dead bodies were scattered all over the field.From Jiayuguan asking for help to ministers rushing to help, the enemy totaled more than 60, and only [-] remained.I have dispatched troops to support the besieged Dunhuang. When Dunhuang is rescued and the gunpowder weapons are assembled, I will wash the grassland and the western regions with blood and avenge Gaochang! "

Hearing that the enemy had a total of 60, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitched his lips.

The news of the 40 enemy troops had already reached Chang'an. Du Ruhui's bragging was in fact claiming credit for the survivors of Gaochang.

But at this time, he was not willing to dismantle it. Whether it was 40 or 60, it was Gaochang's unattainable force.

If there is an extra 20, just come out.Gao Chang stood firm on the line of defense and did not back down. The survivors cannot be overemphasized.

Fang Xuanling continued to read: "Gaochang guarded Du Yu and died in a decisive battle outside the city. When he found out, he was still holding a horizontal knife and it was difficult to take it away. With this nephew, I am extremely proud."

Hearing this passage, some of the civil servants couldn't help but sneered.

Everyone looked together, only to see that the person who sneered was Huang Yuan, the new doctor of imperial history.

In the absence of Wei Zheng, Yushitai cannot be without a leader, so Huang Yuan was lucky to be promoted briefly to take over Wei Zheng's seat.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and asked, "Huang Yuan, Gaochang suffered countless casualties, do you find it ridiculous?"

The emperor's voice, like the air-conditioning from thousands of years of ice, made people tremble.

The censors around Huang Yuan quickly distanced themselves from him, for fear of being implicated.

There were countless casualties in Gaochang. At this time, who didn't look sad and sneered, isn't this courting death!
Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Huang Yuan couldn't help feeling like a dead soul. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the tragedy of Gaochang made my heart ache. However, Du Ruhui's mention of Du Yu in this memorial is suspected of giving credit to his family. Impeach Du Ruhui and claim credit!"

Unavoidable, Huang Yuan could only bite Du Ruhui randomly.

Fang Xuanling stopped and glared at Huang Yuan: "Du Ruhui is clean and self-sufficient, fair and honest, and has been rated by His Majesty as an example of civil servants many times. I have a close relationship with Du Ruhui, so I naturally know that he is not the kind of person who seeks credit for himself! You are so casual , really embarrassing the officials group!"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Gaochang's garrison was destroyed. In this sad time, Huang Yuan actually laughed out loud. He even slandered the Duke of Lai. The crime is unforgivable. Come and drag him out! At noon tomorrow, he will be executed and his house will be ransacked!" "

Hearing the emperor's sentence, Huang Yuan fainted directly.

Two guards came in and dragged the fainted Huang Yuan out.

The officials all tightened their necks.

After seeing the emperor dispose of the rat feces in the pot, Fang Xuanling continued to read: "Xu Bing, who belonged to the Dragon Tooth Army, was smiling when he found it. Li Sanniu, who belonged to him, killed countless enemies, and died of exhaustion, and the pile of enemy corpses under his body was more than nine feet high."

Listening to Du Ruhui's memorial, the civil servants seemed to be on the scene, seeing the determination of the people in Gaochang and the bravery of the soldiers in the face of an invincible enemy.

This is the most foolish pebble against a rock, but also the saddest heroic epic.

The destruction of Gaochang was not useless.

Regardless of the number of enemies killed, Gaochang restrained Tubo's troops, and Dafeichuan and Guazhou both made progress.Especially in Guazhou, after Li Jing defended for a period of time, he took the initiative to attack and regained a large area of ​​land lost by the previous dynasty, and even pressed all the way to the foot of the plateau, driving the enemy back to the plateau.The Turkic troops were restrained, and Jingbei Road did not meet too much pressure.The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms of Shiwei Mohe and Hanhai Kingdom failed to attack the city, but were defeated by Liu Hongji, failed to invade, and lost a large area of ​​land instead.

With heavy losses, the remaining Turkic troops in the Western Regions are not doing well. As long as they reinforce Gaochang's troops, they can even chase the enemy back and attack their land.

"Leng Feng, the protector of the country, suffered more than [-] stab wounds, and his vitality was severely injured. He only woke up a few days after being rescued. Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, suffered more than [-] stab wounds, and his vitality was severely injured. He is still bedridden. Li Ke, king of Shu, was seriously wounded, with [-] stab wounds in total. Tang Jin, a guerrilla general, suffered [-] stab wounds and arrow wounds in total. Two dogs of the Dragon Tooth Army, with one arm severed, went to protect the country The public blood transfusion party escaped to death."

Listening to the description of the survivors, the civil servants all sighed in unison.

Even if they survived, these people have gone through torture!

But luckily, Duke Hu, King Shu, and King Hejian are all still alive. No matter which one of these three has an accident, it will be a huge loss for Datang.

"The above survivors were all seriously injured and seriously ill. When they returned to Chang'an, the boat and car were exhausted, which might not be conducive to their recovery. I made the decision in private and moved them to Jiayuguan to recuperate. I have to avenge Gaochang's great revenge. Although I am dull, I would like to recommend myself. Chief of the Longyou Road Marching Army, chasing down the bandits who violated the border."

Hearing this passage, Tang Jian couldn't help standing up and saying: "Your Majesty, since the enemy has already retreated, it would be inappropriate for Du Ruhui to pursue it on his own. He should understand the reason why the poor should not pursue them."

Li Shimin said: "It is reasonable not to chase after the poor, but it is not reasonable to beat the dog in the water? There is no reason in this world that they attack Datang, but Datang cannot attack them. Gaochang's blood debt can only be repaid by the complete destruction of those countries!"

Tang Jian nodded and returned to the team.

He knew that there was no possibility of mediation at this time.

What the Turks and other countries in the Western Regions have done has completely torn the bottom line.

Now, never die!
After Fang Xuanling finished reading the remaining paragraphs, she couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Gaochang battlefield was so tragic that even he couldn't help crying.

Just to resist strong enemies from abroad!

The [-] casualties are already the biggest casualties since the founding of Datang!
Li Shimin stood up and said: "Starting tomorrow, all entertainment, singing and dancing will be banned. I will also go on a hunger strike for three days to honor the heroic souls of the Gaochang battlefield. In addition, there is no need to block the news. I want the people of the world to know that their son Lang died in Gaochang On the battlefield, there is no retreat. Their sons did not die in vain!"

Fang Xuanling nodded: "The old minister will also go on a hunger strike for three days to honor the heroic souls of the Gaochang battlefield!"

The courtiers all stood up and said that they would also go on a hunger strike to pay homage.

It didn't take long for the story of Gaochang to spread. The act of stopping singing and dancing entertainment and paying homage to the heroic souls of the Gaochang battlefield started from the palace and spread to the entire Chang'an City, and spread it at a very fast speed.
