Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 358

Li Shimin crossed the Liao River, and the three great news made him elated.

It is not surprising that Li Daozong took Xincheng, but what was unexpected was that Feiqi set fire to the warehouse.

Victory did come faster, but the burnt food and grass... still hurts, but you can't have both.

It was Fan Zheng who suggested that the captives collect the bones of the Sui army, which shocked Li Shimin for a long time, and he personally issued an edict: "In the past, when the Sui army crossed the Liaoshui River, God did not give them any convenience. The bones of soldiers were scattered all over the fields, which is sad and deplorable. The high righteousness of burying the bones is to follow the ancient classics and take them back and bury them at the right time."

At the same time, Li Daozong also sent the seven hundred soldiers from Jiashi City to the royal driver, and asked the Emperor Zhenguan to decide.

Li Shimin replied face to face: "Who doesn't want you to wait for service? Your family is in Jiashi City. Because you switched to Datang, your family members were slaughtered. If you lose one person and destroy your family, I can't bear it!"

Qibai Jiashi City surrendered and was released immediately.

The three armies shouted: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!"

Li Shimin's release is really not an angle. Goguryeo is famous for its strict usage.

It is roughly as follows:

Those who plan to rebel will gather people to burn them with torches, rotten and prepare their bodies, and then behead them, and their families will be lost;
Defending the city and surrendering to the enemy, being defeated in battle, murdering and looting, beheading;
Those who steal goods will be rewarded twelve times the stolen goods;
Those who kill cattle and horses are not slaves.

The general usage is strict, and there are few offenders, and even the road does not pick up lost things.

Take a look, the new solution of Lu Bu Sui Sui has killed so hard, so naturally he doesn't dare to mess around.

According to this law, there are two questions about whether the soldiers can survive when they go back, at least they will not implicate their families.

This is in Qianjin City, so it's hard to say whether it will work.

In this world, not every investment has a return.

Li Daozong led [-] cavalry and defeated the [-] Goguryeo reinforcements from the inner city.

The flying cavalry, who was useless, had no choice but to turn around and meet the holy driver.

"Your righteousness in accepting the bones of the previous dynasty, I have remembered it, and I will record it in the matter."

Xu Jingzong's teeth were sour.

Why Fan Zheng?
I didn't deal with Fan Zheng, but I still had to credit Fan Zheng in the "Daily Notes", not to mention how disgusting it was.

It is not feasible to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing. Chu Suiliang refused the emperor to read "Life Notes".
This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Gaimu City was taken by Li Shiji, which was expected by Li Shimin, but one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass could slightly relieve the pressure of grain transportation.

Even if it is escorted from Youzhou to Liaodong, it will take time and manpower.

The Pyongyang Taoist army took Beisha City lightly, and gained eight thousand dollars, which was slightly beyond Li Shimin's expectations. Does Zhang Liang know how to fight?

Looking closely at Lu Bu, it was Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March who commanded the battle, oh, that's okay, he fought desperately when Liu Heita's power was at the top.

If I don't think he is a talent, I can make him squat in Mingzhou for the rest of his life.

The actions of Chang He and Qiu Xiaozhong made Li Shimin nod his head slightly.

As expected of my confidant, good fighters have no great achievements, and stationing in Yalushui may not have any military achievements, but it can reduce the pressure on the Liaodong Army by half.

However, there is a passage in the "Old Tang Book" here, which is very unreliable.

"The emperor crossed the Liao River, ordered the withdrawal of bridges, and fought with strong soldiers."

The person who wrote this sentence probably read too much "Historical Records: The Benji of Xiang Yu", and the meaning is also broken.
Everyone believes that Li Shimin will not lose the battle, and there is no need to leave a way of retreat, but if you withdraw the bridge, you will lose the follow-up food and grass, right?
The historian's pen tilted up and down, and things became absurd.

This is written about people with water in their heads, right?
Under the Liaodong city, Li Shiji's old rules are still the same, with artillery carts and cart crossbows covering, and auxiliary soldiers carrying mounds of earth.

Riding on the horse, Li Shimin saw that an auxiliary soldier was carrying too much soil, so he divided some of the soil on the horse and sent it to the city.

Fan Zheng pursed his lips, changed into a mountain armor, distributed some soil pretending to be, and sent it to the side of the mound when the top of the city was under the pressure of the cannon stones, and then galloped on the ragged horse.

If this ran a little slower, he might become Commander Tang in "Tunnel Warfare".

The emperor personally delivered the soil, how could the civil and military attendants remain indifferent?
What is up and down!
Even Xu Jingzong, an old traitor, gritted his teeth and ran crookedly towards the mound with twenty catties of soil.

Fan Zheng couldn't help secretly praising him, "Old Xu, you are so powerful!"
People who have no strength to restrain a chicken, even if they are sick, fifty catties can be easily carried, and twenty catties can play with such a hard-working appearance.

On the top of the city, a piece of wood is built on the female wall to block the impact of the cannon stone.

This is also helpless, you can't let Tang Jun's cannons show off their power, Liaodong City can't even stand up to the sergeants, right?
Of course there was an effect, but it was a drop in the bucket. A round of cannon stones finally smashed the wooden board, and the flaming crossbow bolts nailed to the wooden board also quickly ignited the wooden board.

Even so, the nearby branches of Liaodong City resisted tenaciously, knowing that it was futile, and the throwing carts at the top of the city also threw cannon stones again and again, and the arrows shot downwards sporadically.

On the wooden house of the Tang Army, the government soldiers waved small flags, guiding the artillery carts to adjust their angles, another round of artillery stone attacks, and the throwing carts at the top of the city were directly smashed to pieces.

With a long range, you can do whatever you want, who made you piss and wet your shoes?

Even so, the Goguryeo soldiers at the head of the city continued to advance and never retreated.

Li Shiji lowered his eyelids: "Set fire!"

Countless rockets left the string, quickly burning the city into a sea of ​​flames.

Fan Zheng raised his eyelids: "Tie Xiaozhuang, go out to fight."

Tie Xiaozhuang, who had been eager to try for a long time, took off, turned over and jumped into the gondola, leading Team B and Team C to fly into the air, leaving Deng Wen with eyes full of resentment, and the eyes of the other three teams.

This is an upright show of favoritism, to let Tie Xiaozhuang earn a performance in front of the emperor, so that he can be promoted in the future.

Fan Zheng is a loyal general in charge of flying cavalry temporarily, and he has a mentorship with Tie Xiaozhuang, so it is reasonable to take care of him.

Although Fan Zheng didn't understand how his relationship with Tie Xiaozhuang had changed from a teacher-student to a master-student.

Li Shimin glanced at Fan Zheng with a smile in his eyes.

Emperor Zhenguan was very familiar with Xia Qing, Fan Zheng's purpose was naturally clear at a glance, but he didn't hide it, so it was interesting!
Although the flying cavalry has indeed made meritorious service in the new city, Li Shimin also wants to see with his own eyes whether the flying cavalry raised by the huge amount of money and food he spent is worth it!

When the hot air balloon took off, the Goguryeo sergeants in Liaodong City had already noticed, but part of the city had collapsed due to the bombardment, so it had to be repaired with earth and rocks!
Even if a wooden crossbow is used to shoot it, it is still useless. The poor range cannot threaten the hot air balloon that accurately grasps the height.

"Look at you being burned, Jeyah, be merciful and give you some rain!"

Tie Xiaozhuang, who was tied with a rope around his waist, opened the door of the hanging basket, pulled off his pants, and pissed in the wind.

Fan Zheng stroked his forehead.

Leather monkey, your nature is hard to change, you are no longer a boy, and no boy has peed on my things for a long time!
Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Tie Xiaozhuang still doesn't change his old demeanor!"
