Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"this.…."

Xiao Yuanyuan's eyes were a little evasive, and she glanced at Xiao Changle behind her from time to time.

Cheng Chumo and the other man were, of course, unwilling to bring them here. It was only after they used threats and inducements that they reluctantly agreed.

"Use this! I told them that if they didn't bring us here, I would tell you that they tried to snatch the token from me."

Little Changle came over, his big eyes narrowed into crescents.
Li Kuan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Cheng Chumo and the other man strangely, with some sympathy in his eyes.

If that's the case, we really can't blame Cheng Chumo for bringing the two little lolis along. They were forced to do so.

………………

On the other hand, after Yeon Gaesomun returned to the Goguryeo army, he quickly issued a series of military orders and quickly stabilized the situation.

But Guo Shoujing was no ordinary man. When the Tang army was still stronger than Goguryeo, he organized several waves of attacks, causing a lot of casualties to the Goguryeo army!

In the Goguryeo camp, Yeon Gaesomun was in a very difficult situation.

As the saying goes, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss! His army did not attack Qin Qiong in the first place, and soon put itself in a passive position.

"...General...the crossbow formation of the Great Yan army...is really too powerful!"

All the generals had heavy expressions on their faces, and they kept their heads down and remained silent. Only one general, who didn't know if he had noticed Yeon Gaesomun's expression, spoke in a low voice.

"Zhuge Crossbow! And the huge siege crossbow arrows that I have never seen before..."

Yeon Gaesomun's face looked gloomy, but at the same time he was also a little confused.

In the great flame,

When did such a powerful weapon appear? Why had he never received any news about it?

You have to know that the weapons and armor equipped by the army are stable, and their replacement requires time to accumulate.

And didn't Zhuge Liannu disappear in the long river of history? How did it see the light of day again?

Could it be that Da Yan is really not someone we Goguryeo can afford to offend?
Yeon Gaesomun, who had always been arrogant, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He had already suffered a great loss at the hands of Chen Qianzhi before, and now he was showing some signs of decline in front of Guo Shoujing.

"Generals, go to the barracks! We must stabilize the morale of the troops! Capture Qin Qiong at all costs!"

Yeon Gaesomun sighed, then put the dejection behind him and stopped thinking about it.

Right now, the situation between Dayan and Goguryeo has reached a point where they will fight to the death. No matter what, he can only try his best to resist Dayan's army's eastward expedition!

If they can capture Xin Qiji first, they still have a chance this time.

"General! The army of Goguin has started to move! I'm afraid they will attack the city like crazy again this time!"

On the city wall, a general looked at the crowd of people surging on the opposite side, frowned and said to Xin Qiji beside him.

"It doesn't matter! We won't go out! It must be that His Majesty has put a lot of pressure on them! The fact that these barbarians are moving again shows that they are anxious! We just need to hold on, and Lord Guo will naturally take care of the rest!"

Xin Qiji was also looking at the Goguryeo camp, but he had a smile on his face and felt more relaxed than ever before.

He could wait for Guo Shoujing to do something, but the Goguryeo army couldn't!
On the other side, the army led by Yuchi Laohei had already arrived not far from Miaoxiang Mountain and met up with Li Kuan and his party.

“Hahaha… Li Kuan! I knew you wouldn’t die so easily!”

In the tent, Li Kuan was drinking and chatting happily with the old witch and a few others when suddenly a cheerful voice came from outside.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuchi Laohei who had hurried over.

"Yuchi Laohei! I haven't seen you for a while, why is your face so dark again? But now not only is your face dark, but your heart is also dark. Why do you curse others all day long?"

Li Kuan glared at him, and then said with disgust.

“Hahaha… Li Kuan! You know what, this old guy’s face is really getting darker and darker!”

The old demon at the side heard Li Kuan's words and saw Yuchi Laohei with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't help laughing and teasing at the same time.

"Hmph! Old devil! Why haven't you died yet? They say that evil will last for thousands of years. I think it's because you are such a tough person despite being an evil!"

How could Yuchi Laohei endure being mocked by the old demon? He responded directly without showing any weakness.
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, as if he was ready to fight the old goblin if they had a disagreement.

"Uncle Yuchi! Come over here! The good wine and food are ready! We're waiting for you!"

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, Cheng Chumo stepped out in time to help and pulled Yuchi Laohei to sit next to him.

"Come! Let me toast you all!"

Gao Shun suddenly stood up, raised his glass and said.

After drinking one glass, Gao Shun drank another one without waiting for others to say anything.

"Gao Shun! Where is Pei Min? Why can't I see him?"

The old demon seemed not to notice anything wrong with Gao Shun's face, and asked with some confusion while being slightly tipsy.

"He... went to take the bodies of the fallen brothers..."

Hearing this, Gao Shun drank another cup. After a long while, he spoke slowly, his voice somewhat sad.

Li Kuan remained silent upon hearing this, and a trace of sadness gradually spread in his eyes.

No matter what, the soldiers under his command were like brothers to him! How could he not be sad that they had sacrificed their lives?
"Those brothers acted like that because of us... We should avenge them!"

The old goblin at the side also reacted, his expression agitated and he spoke angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that the Goguryeo army outside had been almost wiped out, he would have picked up his axe and rushed in to fight again!
"Don't worry! We will avenge them! No matter those ordinary Goguryeo soldiers or Yeon Gaesomun, the mastermind behind the scenes, none of them will escape! I will personally chop off Yeon Gaesomun's head to sacrifice to the spirits of my brothers in heaven!"

Li Kuan filled a glass of wine for himself, took the glass with one hand and drank it all in one gulp. The strong liquor made his throat feel hot, but he was unaware of it. There was an uncontrollable murderous intent in his words.

"Not only that! The entire Goguryeo cannot escape! Only when the Goguryeo nation is destroyed and the race is exterminated! Can we comfort the heroic spirits of our dead brothers!"

The fierce murderous aura gushed out, sobering up the drunken people nearby.

"What's the situation in the northwest this time?"

Li Kuan suddenly put down his wine glass, suppressed his murderous aura, and then looked at Yuchi Laohei.
"The 150,000-man army swept all the way without a single defeat! At this moment, all the cities in the northwest of Goguryeo have been captured and become part of our Great Yan territory!"
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Laohei raised his eyebrows and said with some pride.

When they came, Guo Shoujing joked that he would let them capture ten cities in half a month, but now they have already wiped out all the forces in the cities in this vast territory of the northwest!

"Very good! Goguryeo is not far from being destroyed!" Li Kuan nodded slightly, feeling a little better.

The left-wing army cleared out the cities over there, which not only meant that Goguryeo's strength was greatly weakened, but also freed up its hands to join forces with the central army to fight.

If two armies, totaling nearly 300,000 troops, marched eastward, which Goguryeo city would be able to resist?

By then, it will surely be a sweeping trend!
"What should we do next? Should we continue to move eastward? Or should we meet up with Lord Guo and his men first?"

Yuchi Laohei suddenly remembered that he was just the acting commander of the army, and that brat Li Kuan was the real commander-in-chief.

"There are still 22 troops trapped here! And there is a large army of Goguryeo gathering over there! Let's go and rescue them! Clean up all the troops under Yeon Gaesomun's command."

When Yeon Gaesomun's name was mentioned, Li Kuan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of anger for no reason.

As long as Yeon Gaesomun is not eliminated, the brothers who died in the battle will not be able to rest in peace!
"Yes! Damn him! His Majesty seems to have suppressed them now. If we rush to support them now and form a front-and-back trap, even if Yeon Gaesomun has great powers, he will not be able to avoid defeat!"

The old demon standing by also had a fierce look on his face. He would never show mercy to his enemies!

"Let's make it like this! The army will rest for half a day! Then we will set out immediately! Cut off the Goguryeo army's retreat route, and surround them from both sides to beat them to the ground! Yeon Gaesomun will be helpless!"

Li Kuan filled his glass with wine again, drank it all, and then slammed the glass heavily on the table.

"Xiao Yuanyuan! Aren't you afraid that grandpa will worry about you if you run away this time?!"

In a tent, the female general, whose injuries had mostly recovered, spoke to Xiao Yuanyuan with a stern face.

Xiao Yuanyuan sat in front of her, head down and timidly. She wanted to say something but saw her expression and didn't dare to refute.

"Sister... I asked Elder Tang for help before I came here! Let him talk to Grandpa about this matter, and by the way, tell Grandpa not to worry..."

Xiao Yuanyuan pouted her lips, and secretly watched the female general's expression with her big eyes, and said with some grievance.

In fact, when Mr. Tang learned about this, he took Xiao Yuanyuan aside and tried to persuade her for a long time, but in the end he couldn't persuade Xiao Yuanyuan and had to agree to her first.

"Won't Grandpa be worried about this?"

The female general still looked at her with a stern face, without any change in her expression.

"I just missed you, sister, so I came here to find you. Don't you miss me?"

When Xiao Yuanyuan saw the female general, she still had the same expression. Her big eyes rolled around, and then she smiled, leaned into her arms, and spoke with her little mouth full of honey.

"Didn't you say before that you missed your brother-in-law? Why did you say you missed me now?"

When the female general saw the little girl's expression, her heart softened and a teasing look appeared on her face.

"No way! My stinky brother-in-law pinches my face all the time! He's made my face fat! I don't miss him! My sister is the best to me! That's why I miss her the most. I came here to see her this time!"

Seeing that the female general's expression had softened, Xiao Yuanyuan shook his little head like a rattle, climbed on her and continued speaking.

But the light flashing in her big eyes showed that she was clearly saying one thing and thinking another.

"You..."

The female general rubbed her little head and said unhappily.

"Little Fatty! Guess who I am?"

Outside the door, Li Kuan walked in quietly, made a gesture to silence the female general, and then quietly came behind Xiao Yuanyuan, covered her eyes, and spoke in a raised voice.

"Is it Uncle Cheng Yaojin? Definitely not! Is it Brother Chumo? No either! Damn brother-in-law! I knew it was you a long time ago! I'm not fat at all! If you call me fat boy again, I'll bite you!"

When Xiao Yuanyuan heard the voice behind her, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She first cooperated very well and said a few names, then opened her little mouth, showing her two fangs, and spoke viciously.

"Little Fatty! You guessed wrong! Bite me!"

Li Kuan did not let go of his hand and continued speaking in the same tone.

"Oh my god! Sister Yuan! Are you born in the year of the dog? How could you really bite someone?!"

Xiao Yuanyuan seemed to be a little excited, opened her little mouth and bit Li Kuan's big hand with quite a bit of force!

Li Kuan felt pain and quickly pulled his hand back, glaring at her.

"Humph! Who told you to say I'm fat? You're the fat one! If you say that again, I'll ignore you!"

She snorted coldly and turned her head away, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the nickname Li Qiu gave her.

A rare sweet smile appeared on the female general's face, but she tried hard to hold it back and looked at the two funny guys, one big and one small, in front of her with great interest.

"If you don't want to shout, then don't shout!"

Li Kuan stretched out his big hand, and when Xiao Yuanyuan tilted her head back, he pinched her puffy little face hard.

"Ahhhh... I'm so pissed! Stinky brother-in-law!"

Xiao Yuanyuan bent her waist again and glared at Li Kuan fiercely.

"Ahem..."

The two wanted to continue bickering, but the girl behind them suddenly coughed, obviously affected by her injuries.

"Look at you! How mad have you made your sister?! Naughty children are not liked by others!"

Li Kuan patted her back gently, making her feel more comfortable, and at the same time turned back to threaten Xiao Yuanyuan.

"It's obviously you! You must have done something to offend her! Or you did something to make her extremely angry! Yes! It's you!"

Xiao Yuanyuan imitated Li Kuan, patted Han Ruxue on the shoulder, and then retorted without showing any weakness.

"How could I be like that? I am a person who can cook delicious food! I wanted to make delicious food for you, but since you think I am wrong, I won't do it. What a pity..."

Seeing that the female general's expression had returned to normal, Li Kuan looked at Xiao Yuanyuan again and said.

“…Don’t! Don’t! Stinky…brother-in-law! I’m wrong! I’m wrong! You must make something delicious, okay?!”

When she heard that there was something delicious to eat, Xiao Yuanyuan's big eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing that Li Kuan was about to refuse, she quickly said with a smile and took the responsibility on herself.

Supplies were relatively scarce in the army, so Li Kuan used the limited ingredients to prepare a sumptuous meal for Xiao Yuanyuan.

The family of three spent a leisurely half day in the battle of Goguryeo.
