Chapter 3126: Many Hidden Danger
Changsun Wuji said cautiously: "Your majesty, don't worry. I have warned Dalang many times that the Yuan thieves are treacherous. You must pay attention to everything. All information must be repeatedly screened and authenticated to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy. Dalang has always been smart, and in addition, With the current identity protection, he will definitely gain the trust of Yuan Thief and be able to handle his own situation. "
None of the disciples in the family are successful. Since Changsun Huan died in the palace, all Changsun Wuji's thoughts have been returned to his eldest son in exile. Although Changsun Chong would not be able to take over as the head of the family even if His Majesty Li Er forgives him for the crime of rebellion, but with Changsun Chong's resourcefulness and character, and his righteousness as the eldest son, he can still fully control the Changsun family.
Only this eldest son can make it possible for the eldest grandson family to stabilize the family foundation and preserve the hope of rising again in the foreseeable difficult years in the future.
Yuzi is too mediocre, and if the family falls into their hands, it may be difficult to escape the ups and downs of the court. Sooner or later, the boat will be overturned, people will be killed, and the family will be ruined...
Therefore, this time Changsun Chong lurked in Goguryeo and committed a crime, and his family gave him full support. The dead soldiers who had been raised for countless years have been sent to Pingrang City to assist Changsun Chong.
Under such circumstances, if Changsun Chong still fails to achieve his goal of "paying homage to his crime and making meritorious service", then God is really going to destroy the Changsun family.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and remained silent.
Although the struggle for power caused him to complain a lot about Changsun Wuji, and the relationship between the two was even more estranged, with a hint of "parting ways", he had never had any concerns about Changsun Wuji's abilities. Suspect.
Since Changsun Wuji single-handedly controls Changsun Chong's actions, there is no need to worry.
No matter what aspect you consider, Changsun Wuji cannot be willing to see the Eastern Expedition fail, because once the Eastern Expedition fails, Changsun Chong's return to Chang'an will be completely cut off, and he will have no choice but to wander and live in exile for the rest of his life. Tianya...
After taking a sip of tea, His Majesty Li Er suddenly remembered something and asked: "The royal family of Goguryeo has a 'Wangzhuang Army', which is brave and good at fighting and is invincible. Now they have all defected to the Yuan bandits. Has Dalang ever found out where this army is now?" What’s the action?”
Changsun Wuji looked solemn, shook his head slowly, and said: "Dalang has also inquired around, but so far, he still has not been able to find out where the 'Wang Zhuangjun' is, let alone what his actions are."
His Majesty Li Er sighed: "So, the Yuan thieves are treacherous and must have a back-up plan. You must not be careless."
These words not only warned Changsun Wuji to inform Changsun Chong to be careful, but also reminded him not to think that after Anshi City was captured, the remaining Goguryeo territory would be a flat plain. The city has accomplished its great mission.
As the most elite army in Goguryeo, the whereabouts and movements of the "Wang Zhuang Army" are unknown, which in itself is a big problem.
If he didn't have other plans, why would he hide his head and show his tail like this?
For such a prestigious army, His Majesty Li Er dare not be careless even if he is as conceited as he is. Perhaps an army of less than 10,000 people cannot determine the outcome of the battle, but with proper planning, it is easy to deal a heavy blow to the Tang army.
His own "Black Armor Cavalry" accompanied him on his expeditions to the south and north, and had defeated the weak and the strong, and the small and the large many times. He had profound experience and understood how serious destructiveness a strong army that always acted in unison could cause.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "I have written it down, and I will definitely tell Dalang to find out the movements of the 'Wang Zhuangjun'."
In order to ensure that Changsun Chong could return to Chang'an, he did not dare to be careless at all.
The greater the credit, the more secure it will be for Changsun Chong to return to Chang'an. Even if one or two clowns come forward to oppose it, it will be difficult to stop the overall situation. But if the Tang army suffered heavy losses due to "Wang Zhuang's Army", wouldn't it give those enemies an excuse for nothing?
……
The Battle of Anshi City was decided, and although there were tens of thousands of casualties, the entire Liaodong region fell under the control of the Tang Army from then on. The remaining Goguryeo rebels could no longer make waves and had no success, so they could only wait for the Tang Army to divide its forces one by one. To destroy them.
When Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo commanded two armies to attack Bobi City and Dahang City on the banks of the Yalu River, they drove the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Xi and other tribes to form a multi-ethnic coalition to launch a mad attack. The news of "Victory in the City" spread back to Chang'an, causing a shock, inspiring public sentiment, and high morale of the army and the people.
Prince Li Chengqian, who had moved to Xingqing Palace, breathed out a sigh of relief after receiving the report of the Liaodong war.
Although Goguryeo is important, its gradual rise has seriously threatened the safety of the northeastern border of the empire. If it is not careful, it may send troops to invade. Once it breaks through the Chongqing Pass, it can suddenly take advantage of the trend to go south and drink in the Central Plains.
That's why the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties mobilized heavy troops, intending to overthrow Goguryeo in one fell swoop and eliminate hidden dangers.
However, for Li Chengqian, whether Goguryeo fell or whether the Eastern Expedition was a complete victory did not have much bearing on his immediate interests.
Whether Guanzhong can hold on and whether Fang Jun can hold on to Hexi are the top priorities.
If Guanzhong cannot be defended, he, the prince who oversees the country, will not be able to take on a big responsibility. On the contrary, if he can protect the country in such a critical situation, his prestige will be greatly increased; if Fang Jun can defend Hexi, his merits will exceed those of any other hero in the dynasty. On the other hand, once Hexi falls, Fang Jun will fight to the end. Without this powerful help, the position of the crown prince will be on the verge of collapse.
Only if the Eastern Expedition ends as soon as possible and the emperor's father returns to the court, not only can Guanzhong be defended, but troops can also be sent to help Hexi to ensure that Fang Jun is safe.
Wei Ting, who was sitting under him, saw Li Chengqian's eyebrows beaming and beaming with joy. He couldn't help but smiled and asked, "What kind of good news makes His Highness so happy?"
Li Chengqian casually handed the battle report to Wei Ting and said with emotion: "Ashicheng was a great victory. The 200,000 Goguryeo defenders were wiped out. The army must have advanced to the Yalu River by now. Once they cross the Yalu River, Goguryeo will no longer have a fortified city." It can be defended, and the Tang Dynasty can reach Pyongyang City. Victory is in sight in the Eastern Expedition."
This battle report must be disclosed to the world later to boost the morale of the military and civilians. Otherwise, the panic caused by the Tuyuhun rebellion will greatly affect the stability of Guanzhong.
It might be a good idea to show Wei Ting in advance.
Jingzhao Weishi is a branch of the Guanlong aristocracy. It has always been low-key and tolerant, but now it is showing signs of rising. It is gradually drifting away from the Guanlong aristocracy, and there is a vague intention of establishing another sect.
It is not easy to win him over to the East Palace system, but the easing of their relationship will be of great benefit to the stability of the crown prince's position.
It’s just...
Wei Ting read the battle report and was also overjoyed: "Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, and this personal expedition will definitely create great achievements for the ages. We look up to your majesty and admire you very much! If at this time we can bring about the marriage between our nephew Wei Zhengju and His Majesty Jinyang is about to get married. When His Majesty returns to the court in victory, it can be said to be a double happiness. I wonder what your Majesty’s wishes are?”
Li Chengqian had a headache and declined: "You should know that your father loves Si Zi. Her marriage must be approved by his father and no one else can interfere. How dare you overstep your authority and make your father dissatisfied? This matter It would be safe to wait until the Wei family formally mentions it after the father returns to the throne.”
Are you kidding me?
Not long ago, Fang Jun had a quarrel with the Wei family. Although both parties finally stopped talking and the matter was reduced to a minor matter, now that Fang Jun has just gone to war, I have agreed to the marriage between Sizi and the Wei family. What does Fang Jun think?
He would never do anything that would cause Fang Jun to misunderstand.
Wei Ting persevered and said with a smile: "I naturally know that Your Majesty regards His Highness Jinyang as the jewel in his eye, and His Majesty's marriage must be approved by His Majesty. The Wei family respects and supports Your Highness, and needs to consult His Highness first." If His Majesty agrees, then I can propose to His Majesty."
Li Chengqian frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
Sizi's marriage indeed requires his father's approval, but the problem is that he is also the crown prince of a country. If he agrees to it first, even if his father is unwilling, he still has to leave some face for himself. I had no choice but to agree to this.
The Wei family's abacus was pretty good.
But even if his father saves face for himself, he is definitely dissatisfied in his heart. In order to win over the Wei family, he made his father dissatisfied and offended Fang Jun. How could he calculate that this was a loss of blood for him, right?
The Wei family's obsession with marrying the Si son even led Concubine Wei to publicize in the palace how outstanding Wei Zhengju was and what a handsome young man he was, in an attempt to create an "established fact" through such means to make other people interested in seeking marriage. Knowing the difficulty, Li Chengqian retreated, which made Li Chengqian very unhappy.
Wei Ting looked at Li Chengqian's face and added with a smile: "Guanzhong is empty now, and the Wei family is willing to be loyal to His Highness. If anyone plots evil and is not good for His Highness, the Wei family will stand by His Highness to the death. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth." , people and gods are angry!”
Li Chengqian suddenly changed his color. (End of chapter)
