Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 201 Chapter 210

"Shut up, my lord!"

The only fantasy in his heart was ruthlessly dismantled, and Fu Yuzhang suddenly roared ferociously.

His attachment to power is his greatest weakness. He could have surrendered a long time ago, but when he heard that Goguryeo was still stubbornly resisting, his heart was full of luck.

He hoped that Goguryeo would drive away Li Shimin like Sui Yangdi did before. In that case, Zuo Ming would inevitably move to Goguryeo or retreat directly.

If it was changed in the past, his idea would not be wrong, after all, Goguryeo has indeed had many amazing records.

However, how can the current Tang Dynasty be compared to the Sui Dynasty?Still having illusions at this time is definitely the biggest mistake in his life.

"It's you who should shut up! This lord has said it, don't call me 'the lord' in front of this lord! Are you ignoring what this lord said? Take this fat man down for me, and say hello!"

Another kick kicked Fu Yuzhang over, Zuo Ming walked towards the inner palace of Quanzhou without even looking at him.

Fu Yuzhang's palace is very luxurious, although it is not as majestic as the palace of Tang Dynasty, but in terms of layout and decoration, it can be considered exquisite.

After the Tang army entered the city, the envoys from Silla also followed, and their army had already stationed outside the city in order not to conflict with the Tang army over the spoils.

Lying on the throne, Zuo Ming looked at the Silla female officer below and asked curiously, "Are you the secretary of Kinderman? Are there all female officials like you in your palace? Are there any eunuchs?"

"Going back to the king, there used to be, but the Queen sent them away after she took the throne. After all, Her Majesty the Queen is a woman who has not left the cabinet, and she is really not used to being served by eunuchs."

The female officer said respectfully, she called Zuo Ming "The King" here, obviously she didn't treat him as an outsider.Moreover, she pronounced the word "not out of the court" very heavily, obviously emphasizing and implying something to Zuo Ming.

"Hmm! In fact, I don't have any prejudice against eunuchs, but every time I see them, I feel a little panicked. I also have many friends who are eunuchs in Chang'an, and they are all poor people. It's okay to dismiss them." Well, if you live incognito, at least you can still look like a human being! Oh! After talking so much, I still haven’t asked you why you came here?”

Said in a self-contained manner, Zuo Ming said in a very casual way.

Hearing that Zuo Ming actually regarded the eunuch as a friend, a strange look flashed across the female officer's face, but then she said with a serious expression, "This minister is here to send a message for Her Majesty the Queen, to thank the King of Tang. The Queen is very grateful to you Generosity, but due to customs, you can't meet your fiancé before the wedding, so I hope you can forgive her for not seeing her."

"Oh! That's it! This custom is similar to that of my Tang Dynasty. This is human nature, and there is nothing to forgive or not understand. Uh! This crown was taken off that fat man's head. It is dirty. Take it Go back and wash it, then melt it and recast it before handing it over to your queen. It’s just a little bit of my heart.”

Nodding his head indifferently, Zuo Ming handed over the Baekje crown he got from Fu Yuzhang to the female official.

Taking the crown cautiously, the female officer was really extremely happy.This is a rare treasure, and it has existed for nearly 500 years. Zuo Ming thinks it is dirty and wants to melt it. She doesn't know what to say.

She had already made up her mind that she would put it away for the queen later, and must not let Tang Wang see it again, otherwise with his temper, he might really melt it.

With the crown of Baekje, the female officer quickly left, looking like she was impatient to go to the queen to present the treasure.

After she left, Li Tai, who wandered around the treasure house of Baekje, came back dressed in jewels.

"Brother! How about looking at our outfit?"

The ten fingers are all big rings inlaid with emerald and gold, various necklaces are hung on the head, shoulders, neck, and there are even nearly a dozen sets of bracelets on the wrists. Li Tai is extremely coquettish.

"Fuck! Your whole body weighs almost half a catty, aren't you tired?"

Seeing so many things hanging on his body, Zuo Ming said speechlessly.

"Tired? Why? I think it's pretty good! From now on, I will dress up like this, noble and gorgeous! Hahahaha."

Li Tai shook his head firmly.

Seeing him like the stupid son of a landlord's family, Zuo Ming decided not to bother with him anymore, but instead asked, "I heard that the father and emperor sent a letter a few days ago, how is it? Hasn't Goguryeo been taken yet?"

"Half of it has been laid, and it is estimated that it will be lowered after the new year. But the emperor's mood seems to be a little high, and he is not willing to stop advancing." Li Tai was still a little worried when he mentioned this matter.

The reason why they attacked Baekje so smoothly was that they left many ways of life and retreat for the people of Baekje.Both Zuo Ming and Li Tai knew very well that rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry, so they didn't want to drive them to a dead end.

However, Li Shimin obviously didn't care about this. He felt that he was unstoppable, so he really killed them all the way.In such a desperate environment, Li Tai was really worried that those Goguryeo people would jump over the wall and carry out suicide attacks.

In fact, this matter was also Zuo Ming's worry, so after a brief silence, Zuo Ming ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a letter to Li Shimin, and sent it to Goguryeo quickly.

After receiving this letter, Li Shimin smiled softly, not only him, but also Li Jing and others, they felt that Li Tai and Zuo Ming were too lacking in sharpness, it took so long for a small Baekje, Not at all like a young man should have the mental head.

"It is true that a rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, but how painful would it be to bite a lion he is facing? Tang Wang and Wei Wang have more than enough defense, but not enough external conquests. As the saying goes, soldiers are precious and fast, and they cooperated with Silla to fight. A battered Baekje has been used for so long, if it goes to Australia and Europe, wouldn't it be a lifetime of fighting?"

"Isn't it? Australia, Europe, and Africa are much wider than Baekje. If we go at their speed, we will be lucky to see half of Europe in our lifetime. It seems that we have to rely on the prince and the king of Shu!"

After understanding the contents of the letter, Hou Junji and Niu Jinda shook their heads and laughed.

"Hey! The two of them are really not suitable for war. Among my children, they are the most bloodless. I just hope that Zhinu and Min'er will not be like the two of them in the future. As princes, even the blood of fighting and killing None, it’s really outrageous.”

After hearing the evaluation of the two, Li Shimin also sighed deeply, and said with some disappointment.

His biggest reliance now is that he has many children.The world is so huge, if he wants to see a wider land in his lifetime, he must rely on his sons and daughters, but Zuo Ming and Li Tai are obviously not the ones who like to fight.

These two prefer pleasure and treasure hunting to killing and conquering.This can be seen from the fact that Li Tai's navy conducts a large-scale deep-sea diving every other month.

So far, the corals in Li Tai's house are as big as the mountains. If people who don't know go there, they will think they are in the Dragon Palace!

For these corals, Li Tai is really very precious, even the bed he sleeps on is made of corals, so he is not afraid of knocking them down.

After putting away Zuo Ming's letter, Li Shimin continued to advance according to the original plan regardless.

For the next fifteen days, the starving and freezing Goguryeo people suffered heavy casualties and were unable to even put up a decent resistance.On Li Shimin's side, because Li Chengqian was well dispatched in Chang'an, both the supplies and the transportation of the wounded were in place, so the more he fought, the more courageous he became.

Everything seems to be going according to their script.Going on like this, in addition to the subjugation of the Goguryeo country, I am afraid that it is not impossible for the seed industry to perish.

However, all this changed dramatically on the [-]th day of the first month of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty!
That day, many Goguryeo soldiers who were in embarrassment and had difficulty moving rushed towards them like crazy. They didn't hold any weapons, and they didn't even have any clothes.After rushing into the Tang army, those people embraced several of the Tang army sergeants against the cannon fire and swords.

Looking at the weird smiles they wore before they died, even Cheng Yaojin, who was used to seeing corpses, was terrified.

"Are these people crazy? What are they doing?"

Very puzzled by these people's behavior of sending them to death, Hou Junji said with a look of surprise.

"You ask me who am I asking? What a bad luck!"

Cheng Yaojin said with a speechless face.

"I'm afraid it's desperate to the extreme, so go crazy!"

Niu Jinda guessed.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, only Li Jing frowned deeply and shook his head, "They are indeed crazy! But they are not completely crazy yet! Look at those things on their bodies. Sores, if I'm not wrong, they should have some kind of infectious disease, so I want to introduce it into my Tang army!"

As soon as Li Jing said these words, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Quick! Let all the soldiers who have been in contact with these people soak in limestone for half an hour!"

Li Shimin even ordered directly.

"Not only do you have to soak it, but you also need to observe it in isolation for a period of time. Dr. Sun said that many infectious diseases have an incubation period!"

Li Jing quite agreed with Li Shimin's reaction, but then he added something.

And then, the entire Tang army camp became busy, and then it was time to eat and drink.

For things like infectious diseases, as long as they are well isolated and protected, they are not very scary, so after all the sergeants who may be sick have been dealt with, everyone's hearts are at ease.

However, a wise man is bound to make mistakes if he has thousands of worries.They counted everything, but only ignored the water source!They didn't know that upstream of them, there were countless corpses full of rotten sores densely arranged in the water!
The Goguryeo people were really desperate, so they chose an even more desperate way to resist.
