Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 32 The fastest general of the Tang Dynasty joins the battle in Jiangdong!
Li Jing nodded: "In that case, I'll trouble Changsun Pushe to take care of this matter."

"So... we have ways to deal with public opinion, but what about the military?"

"Even if that person hadn't come back, the loss of Wangshiwan was still a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty. Who among you is willing to lead troops to find out the truth, or even annihilate the enemy and restore the dignity of the Tang Dynasty?"

It is still uncertain whether Wangshiwan is Li Chengdao’s return, but the enemy quickly captured it, which shows that they are very powerful.

Therefore, the troops sent out must not be too ordinary!

Even Li Jing was suspecting that the local garrisons in Jiangdong were unable to deal with the enemy.

Li Jing wanted to lead his troops on the journey.

It just so happens that there is no war in the Tang Dynasty now, and the world is at peace. His old bones are almost rotting away at home, and it is time for him to move around.

"I'll lead the troops."

At this time, a voice sounded.

Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and others looked over.

The owner of that voice...
Yes!

He was the husband of Li Xiuning, one of the two war gods of the Tang Dynasty Li family. He followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to pacify the four directions and was awarded the title of Duke of Huo. He was appointed General of the Right Guard. After his meritorious service in destroying the Turks, he was promoted to General of the Zhenjun Army and General of the Right Guard. Since he participated in the pacification of Liang Shidu, he was renamed Duke of Qiao.
With numerous honors and official titles, he became one of the seven great generals of the Tang Dynasty, Chai Shao!
In that war-torn era, he once fought against the Turkic cavalry of 3,000 with only 1,000 cavalry and won.

Looking at everyone's gazes, Chai Shao, who was sitting in the third seat on the right, said slowly, "From Chang'an to Wangshiwan, it's at least a thousand miles."

"If we go too slowly, the enemy will infiltrate Jiangdong, or even other states and counties, and it will be even more troublesome to deal with."

"It just so happens that my three thousand Qingzhou cavalrymen, who escorted the foreign envoys to Chang'an this time, are now gathering in Chang'an. We can go south to Jiangdong and recover the lost territory."

The words fell.

Li Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Does anyone object to this?"

no answer.

Li Jing made a prompt decision and said solemnly, "In that case, I will trouble Duke Qiao for this matter."

Chai Shao let out a sigh: "General Li, you are too kind. It is just my job."

Li Jing nodded: "Okay, next..."

He spoke again and talked about the next topic related to Wangshi Bay.

After a while, the issue ends.

Regarding the loss of Wangshiwan,
Everyone was certain that the enemy might take advantage of the situation to infiltrate Jiangdong, so the border of Jiangdong had to be blockaded.

We must lock the enemy within Jiangdong.

In terms of public opinion, if Li Chengdao's remarks appear, it is better to kill him wrongly than to let him go! This topic must be nipped in the bud.

Also.

In the near future, Chai Shao will lead his 3,000 Qingzhou cavalry to go on an expedition, mainly responsible for recovering the lost land of Wangshiwan.

If they encounter any obstacles along the way, they can send a message back to Chang'an, which will be ready to send troops to Jiangdong at any time.

Everyone dispersed one after another.

Just as Chai Shao was leaving Taiji Palace, Yuchi Jingde came over.

"Brother Chai."

He called out to Chai Shao to stop.

Chai Shao looked back and said with a smile: "Brother Yuchi, why are you stopping me?"

Yuchi Jingde didn't say anything, but stared at him solemnly, then said slowly: "Be careful on the road, it might be him...coming back."

Chai Shao's expression also turned serious: "I know."

"I also know that your inner demon has always been that person, but that person... has disappeared for ten years."

"As you said in the meeting just now, even if he comes back, what can he do? The Tang Dynasty no longer has his voice, and he cannot mobilize the Tang Dynasty's army."

"He is a thing of the past. If he comes back again, I will lead my men to behead him! This way... I can also remove your inner demons, and... His Majesty's inner demons."

Yuchi Jingde was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Do you know that your Majesty has also been thinking about that child?"

Chai Shao smiled and said, "Of course. After all, I am still your Majesty's brother-in-law."

"When my wife was alive, she told me a lot about His Majesty. So even though I am not always in Chang'an, few people know His Majesty better than me."

"And every time we meet, I occasionally mention that person who tempted His Majesty, and His Majesty always becomes worried."

"He is still afraid of that kid... Li Chengdao's return." "Don't worry."

Chai Shao stepped forward and patted Yuchi Jingde on the shoulder, saying solemnly: "My Qingzhou Cavalry and I have never been defeated since our establishment. If that kid comes back, I will kill him and remove the demons for both you and your majesty."

After saying this, Chai Shao walked away.

Yuchi Jingde did not leave with them, but stayed where he was and watched Chai Shao's back.

He just watched, quietly watching.

His eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking about something.

then,

Yuchi Jingde looked toward the horizon and said with emotion: "Yes, it's all over... Ten years have passed."

….….….….….….
The prosperous palace.

After the meeting, Changsun Wuji came here slowly.

"Changsun Pushe."

When the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall saw Changsun Wuji coming, they all bowed to him.

Changsun Wuji nodded and walked into the hall.

at last.

He came to a garden where a woman was reading a book and another girl was catching butterflies nearby.

That is….
The former Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin, and her daughter Li Chang'e.

Yes.

Zheng Guanyin and one of her children survived.

He was put under house arrest.

This is also the case in history where the King of Qin recorded that he let the Crown Princess go.

Why did they kill Prince Yin's family but not the Crown Princess and her daughter?

no one knows.

No one knew about it in the past ten years.

But Changsun Wuji knew something.

When the Battle of Xuanwu Gate began, he and all the old ministers of the King of Qin were not sure whether they would win, so as soon as the battle started, they all fought to the death.

No matter if they are men, women or children.

As long as they appear in Xuanwu Gate and the Prince's Mansion, they will fight to the death!
But with the deaths of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji one after another, perhaps the overall situation had been decided, or perhaps it was because seeing his brothers fall into his arms, the little bit of family affection in his heart was awakened.

Li Shimin immediately announced that the battle would continue.

All the men were killed, but the women were allowed to stay.

Zheng Guanyin and her daughter Li Chang'e survived because of this.

In the years I've survived,
He has always been treated the same as the retired emperor Li Yuan, but has to be under house arrest in the Fanhua Palace and cannot go out to other places.

It's equivalent to being banished to the cold palace.

Changsun Wuji walked slowly towards Zheng Guanyin. Zheng Guanyin was so absorbed in reading a book that she did not notice Changsun Wuji coming.

However, Li Chang'e, who was still catching butterflies, saw it and hurried over to push Zheng Guanyin.

"Mom, there are outsiders coming."

Li Chang'e spoke.

Zheng Guanyin finally came back to her senses. When she saw that it was Zhangsun Wuji, she asked calmly, "Zhangsun Pushe, you came to see me again. What's the reason this time?"

Zhangsun Wuji has been coming here often recently, and Zheng Guanyin is no longer surprised by this.

Zhang Sun Wuji heard this and said, "Crown Princess, I came here this time to ask what kind of person Li Chengdao, the eldest grandson of the emperor, was."

Lee Seung Do….
When Zheng Guanyin heard the name, her eyes widened instantly. Instead of answering, she asked, "My son is back? Back to the Tang Dynasty?"

His voice was filled with worry and a little expectation.
