Chapter 95: Encourage the whole country!
Li Shimin quickly asked: "What happened?"
"Report! Your Majesty, Goguryeo's Damolizhiquan Gaisuwen has sent a letter of surrender! Goguryeo intends to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and will always be a tributary of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin was ecstatic after hearing this. The Goguryeo people actually surrendered?
Did you hear it wrong?
The Goguryeo people with an army of 600,000 actually surrendered like this? ? ?
At this time, Li Shimin had not yet received the news that Li Zhen had defeated the Goguryeo people, so he was shocked.
However, Changsun Wuji had already received the information from Changsun Yan Feige, and knew that he must use this opportunity to make Li Shimin accept Goguryeo's surrender. Otherwise, if Li Zhen really destroyed Goguryeo, Li Zhi would definitely lose in the fight for the crown prince. Downwind.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji said: "This is your majesty's divine power. The people of Goguryeo dare not look up, so they can only choose to surrender. Congratulations to your highness. You conquered the enemy without fighting and made Goguryeo a vassal state of our country." There is no need to worry about the northeastern border of Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and said: "The Goguryeo people are sensible and do not dare to confront our heavenly soldiers. In this case"
"Your Majesty, the situation is not yet clear. What if the Goguryeo people are pretending to surrender? It is not too late to find out the situation before making a decision." The person who spoke was none other than General Li Ji.
Li Ji is Xu Shiji, also known as Xu Maogong of the Wagang Army. He is resourceful and highly regarded by Li Shimin. Li Ji is a military general and has no selfish motives in doing things. He felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he went out to speak.
Changsun Wuji's nose was so angry that he thought Li Ji had really ruined his good deeds, so he quickly said: "Since the Goguryeo people have surrendered, this is a great event, so what is there to pry about?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "I think what General Li Ji said makes sense. It's better to find out first before deciding whether to accept Goguryeo's surrender."
"Your Majesty" Changsun Wuji wanted to say something else.
At this moment, another news came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, a message from King Li Zhen of Yue has arrived from a flying pigeon."
"Oh? What did the King of Yue say?" Li Shimin asked.
Eunuch Gao on the side took Li Zhen's letter, read it ten lines at a glance, then knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is very happy! Li Zhen, the king of Yue, defeated Goguryeo, burned Liujing and more than ten cities, and occupied Anshi. More than 100,000 enemies were killed, but Goguryeo Damoliji Quan Gaisuwen escaped with only 800 people, and the eldest son Quan boy was beheaded!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue also demolished the Jingguan built by the Goguryeo people and built a new Jingguan with the heads of Goguryeo soldiers. The head of Quan Boy was placed at the top of the Jingguan!"
"What???"
Li Shimin suddenly stood up!
Not only Li Shimin was shocked, but all the civil and military ministers of His Highness were also shocked!
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
Li Zhen only had 5,000 men and horses, but he beheaded more than 100,000! ! !
They also burned Ryugyong, the capital of Goguryeo, and occupied Ansi City, which was inaccessible to thousands of people! ! !
is this real?
Such a record may not even be possible for Li Jing, who destroyed the Eastern Turks.
Back then, Li Jing used 30,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the Eastern Turks, but Li Zhen only used 5,000 soldiers and horses to defeat Goguryeo's 600,000-strong army! ! !
Such a record is probably not even as good as the Kunyang War fought by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu
"Your Majesty, the troubles in the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty have been resolved! Your Majesty, great blessings will come to heaven!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live the Emperor!"
In the main hall, the civil and military ministers fell to their knees. In any case, it was great news that Li Zhen defeated Goguryeo and that Goguryeo was unable to fight anymore. Even the civil servants who opposed Li Zhen were overjoyed.
Only Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang looked gloomy and uncertain. Changsun Wuji sighed deeply in his heart, thinking that it was bad, the paper could not contain the fire. The emperor knew about Li Zhen's record, and Li Zhen's great achievements were probably about to be achieved. With this great achievement, Li Zhen will definitely occupy a dominant position in the fight for the crown prince.
Eunuch Gao secretly glanced at Yuchi Jingde and Li Ji. Yuchi Jingde's heart was moved, and he said that the eunuchs were messing with the government. However, Eunuch Gao was a good man with some sense of justice. It was obvious that he and Li Zhen had a good relationship. The relationship is absolutely extraordinary.
This was obviously a play performed by Eunuch Gao. With Eunuch Gao's support, the atmosphere in the entire hall reached a climax, and the crowd was simply excited.
?Goguryeo has been in existence for hundreds of years, and its wars with the Central Plains dynasties have resulted in more victories than defeats.
Even the powerful Sui Dynasty, which assembled millions of troops and used the power of the whole country, was defeated by Goguryeo several times, which led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.
But today, Li Zhen subdued five thousand soldiers and almost defeated Goguryeo. He beheaded more than 100,000 people. He also burned the capital of Goguryeo, Ryugyong, and destroyed dozens of cities. Even Anshi City, the first stronghold of Goguryeo, was destroyed. Being conquered, such a great achievement is simply unprecedented.
The ministers cheered and cheered, and it took a long time to calm down. Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, and said to himself that Li Zhen's son was really like his younger self, and he really liked him more and more.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji bowed and said: "It is really gratifying that the King of Yue defeated Goguryeo. Now, we can accept Goguryeo's letter of surrender. Our border area of ??the Tang Dynasty will have no worries in twenty years."
"Your Majesty, Changsun, is wrong. It would be better to take this opportunity to destroy Goguryeo directly and merge Goguryeo into our Tang Dynasty. In this way, not only can we expand our territory, but we can also get rid of future troubles once and for all." Yuchi Jingde said.
Changsun Wuji said righteously: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have used troops everywhere, and the people have been extremely exhausted. If a big country like Goguryeo wants to destroy it, we, the Tang Dynasty, will have to pay a huge sacrifice." The price is to shake the foundation of the country."
When Changsun Wuji said this, he had a heartbroken expression on his face, and he looked at it with sincerity.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking that Changsun Wuji's words made sense.
Chu Suiliang, who was on the side, also echoed and said repeatedly: "What Lord Changsun said is absolutely true. If the Tang Dynasty destroys Goguryeo, if the Goguryeo people resist, and the war lasts for a long time, the Tang Dynasty will be deeply mired in quagmire."
Seeing Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang talking, many civil servants shouted in agreement. However, some civil servants did not agree with this and did not agree with Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang's ideas. However, they all knew that Changsun Wuji was famous. Being cautious, he did not dare to object out loud, so he had to remain silent.
On the other hand, military generals like Li Ji and Yuchi Jingde were more upright, and they were both members of the Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. For the sake of the future of the Tang Dynasty, they were not afraid of offending Changsun Wuji, so they argued with reason and insisted not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. opportunity to destroy Goguryeo (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
