Chapter six hundred and seventy second heart

It was ten days after the capture of Pyongyang, but Li Chongjiu did not return to Youjing immediately, but lived in Dangxiang City.

The warships need to be repaired, and the soldiers also need to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. The Silla women in Dangxiang City favored the winning Zhao soldiers the most. Silla was a country where men and women were not strictly guarded, and the Zhao soldiers were inevitably distracted. However, the Zhao army's military discipline was very strict and they were not allowed to have any connection with the women in the city, which immediately wasted a lot of good intentions.

During this period, Princess Rodman visited Li Chongjiu from time to time. Princess Deman was in her thirties, and compared with her sister Princess Shengman, she had a unique charm. From the perspective of later generations, she was a real wife.

However, Li Chongjiu was not very interested in Princess Deman. Even if the other party had charm, look at one of her ex-husbands and three current husbands. Li Chongjiu thought it would be fine. Unexpectedly, the more Li Chongjiu refused, the more resentful Princess Deman's eyes became. Li Chongjiu could just laugh at this.

After living in Dangxiang City for ten days, Li Chongjiu saw that it was almost done, and finally boarded the warship again and left Dangxiang City.

In the past ten days, Li Chongjiu had not returned to Youjing yet, but the news of the victory of the Zhao army had passed the Clippers and reported to Youjing as soon as possible. This time, the capture of Pyongyang and captured the capital of Goguryeo, shocking all the people. After the shock, the people ran around and told each other, and the entire Youjing capital was in a carnival.

In Youjing City, the scholars from the Imperial College immediately submitted a proposal to the new government office, Cui Junsu, to the night tour congratulations, and asked Youjing to open a curfew. Cui Junsu's new official took office, and was unclear in the details. Moreover, he was a person who had always been a polite person, so he refused the scholar's request without even thinking about it.

However, Cui Junsu did not expect that he really underestimated the power of the Imperial College. Seeing that the Cui Mansion Jun was unkind, these scholars went to the Youjing Mansion Office to protest. The Imperial College caused trouble. Even the county and county students joined together. In short, everyone must do this.

When Wang Gui and Wei Zhengdu wrote a letter to Cui Junsu to ask about this matter, Cui Junsu realized how powerful these Imperial Supervisors were. As the governor of Youjing, Cui Junsu was not as tough as Wei Zheng. He immediately changed his attitude and personally met the Imperial Supervisors to show his favor to the people, and promised that all the buildings in Youjing would open curfews tomorrow.

After receiving the promise, the Imperial College was very happy and organized a grand night tour of Youjing to congratulate. This was also the first time that Youjing had opened a curfew in other seasons except for the Spring Festival.

Although it was a celebration, Cui Junsu was worried and did not dare to be careless. All soldiers of the soldiers and horses in the city were cancelled their leave and were dispatched overnight. Cui Junsu also transferred two thousand county soldiers into the city to maintain order.

That night, in the quiet capital, there were bright lights. Under the smug moonlight, the market was bustling, and the wineries were ready to open all night long.

As the commander of the city's military officer, Situ Qiu, when he was patrolling the streets on horseback, he saw the people on both sides of the streets. Men, women, young and old were walking with their crowds and traveling in the night. The most eye-catching among the people were the scholars wearing green collars and walking with swords. On their faces, they could see the momentum of Zhao State as he was at its peak.

Situ Qiu gave a few instructions to his subordinates, asking them to look forward to these scholars.

These scholars were pillars of Zhao State in the future. However, they had not entered the officialdom and were not infected with the habit of dealing with things in the officialdom. At this time, they were young and energetic, and were most likely to have an impulse. Situ Qiu still remembered that in the last battle of the Youjing defense, these scholars actually picked up swords and wanted to fight with the Turks. This time, in order to celebrate the night trip, they dared to be willing in front of Youjing Mansion. This was really something that they could not imagine.

Now the scholars sang in unison.

Don’t you see, the Han army is over, and the weak crowns are in charge of the enemy. Don’t you see, the ban Dingyuan is in the distance, and the light cavalry in the dead are urging the battle. Men should be in danger, so how can the Confucian crowns lose their lives? Moreover, the country’s prestige is like a burden, and the feathered edicts are fighting forever, and the singing is floating, and the scholars are walking generously.

This poem written by Li Chongjiu occasionally was very popular. Not only did the Imperial College students sing loudly during morning exercises, but they even sang it in the army.

Don’t you see, the Han army is over, and the weak leader is the enemy. Don’t you see, Ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry in the world urges to fight against the clouds. Situ Qiu yelled these two sentences, and a feeling of pride suddenly burst out from his heart.

Reappearing the mighty power of the powerful Han Dynasty, the two emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty had lofty ambitions, and they all had this ambition. Situ Qiu's father followed Yang Sugong to the frontier and defeated the Turkic soldiers. This matter became his lifelong conversation and lifelong glory. However, Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo three times, which made the Great Sui Dynasty reappearing the Qin Emperor's martial arts ambition during the Han Dynasty, and became a laughing stock.

But now when this loud battle song was sing, Situ Qiu's eyes were faintly wet, and at the same time he thought to himself what was wrong. He was Li Tang's detailed work that sneaked into the Great Zhao, and he couldn't help but cheer and celebrate the victory of Zhao State.

A few days ago, he was commended by his superiors for passing the news of Li Chongjiu's army crossing the sea to Chang'an for passing the news of Li Chongjiu's attack on Goguryeo to Chang'an. However, in his opinion, Li Yuan, who is in Chang'an, would probably not be happy when he heard the news of Li Chongjiu's attack on Goguryeo.

But Ashinadu, who was drinking in a tavern just one street from Situ Qiu, was in a different mood. Ashinadudu was the younger brother of Chuluo Khan, a person from the Turkic Mohe Dushe, and a governor. This time he came to Youjing to discuss the trade with Zhao Ting next year according to his brother's wishes.

Asanu Duo was drinking alone, and the sheep liver and roast goose on the table were not moving. Near his table, there were Zhao people talking loudly. Once the curfew ban was eliminated, the restaurant was filled with people. In the past, if there was no curfew rule, people outside the restaurant would have to hurry back to their own restaurant, and there would not be too many diners in the restaurant.

However, the curfew order has been lifted, and countless people from Zhao took to the streets to celebrate. Taking advantage of this happy event, it is inevitable that everyone can have a big meal.

"The Han people are so enjoyable. If you have any happy events, you have to eat to celebrate them." A guard beside Ashinaduo said dissatisfiedly.

Ashin Duo heard: "Now we Turks are not the same. We have long lost the courage to establish our country with our ancestors. In the past few years, the Zhao people have opened up trade. In the past, they had to shed blood and try their best to get the things they stolen from the hands of the Han people. Just like a wolf, if someone feeds him meat every day and doesn't have to hunt, then his teeth will be dull, his sense of smell will not be sensitive, he will no longer run quickly, and gradually become a dog."

Asuna Duo said as the guards showed hatred.

This time, Goguryeo, who secretly interacted with the Turks, was severely injured by Zhao State, causing the Turks to fall into a passive position. Originally, in Zhao Deyan's proposal to Chuluo Khan, he wanted to use the Turks and Goguryeo to firmly clamp Youjing with the shape of a clamp, and restrain Zhao State, so that Li Chongjiu did not dare to lead his army south easily.

Now that Goguryeo is broken, the Khitan is beaten like a dog by Guo Xiaoke on the Huershen grassland and flees to the Hanhai (now Hulunbuir Lake). The three tribes of Baihu and Xi tribes dare not say anything now.

Allies were constantly defeated, and the Turks became increasingly isolated on the grassland, while the top leaders of the Turks did not know how to wake up. Many noble leaders were even greedy for life in Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town, and secretly bought houses in the two places to enjoy a rich life. Many Turkic tribes saw the profits of trade and organized caravans to travel outside the border and between Youjing. Many of the caravans were led by leaders of each tribe and made a lot of profits.

In this way, if the Turks and Da Zhao fight together, these assets will undoubtedly be wasted. The Turks will return to the day when they make a living by looting. Therefore, whenever Chuluo Khan mentioned the Southern Expedition at the conference, they would be fiercely opposed by the leaders of various tribes. This kind of opposition is unprecedented. Even Khan, who is so powerful, was forced to change his opinions and obey the meaning of the leaders of various tribes.

Zhao Deyan also lamented that during the Qin and Han dynasties, the grasslands that cost millions of troops and countless money and food could not be conquered, but Li Chongjiu did it in just ten years.

Asuna Duo sighed at the decline of the Turks. Looking at the people of Youjing who were traveling outside the streets at night, those Zhao people who were talking and excited, they couldn't help but feel a dull feeling in their hearts. If this continues, the sharp teeth and claws of the Turks will degenerate because they no longer hunt. Once that day comes, Zhao State can take back all the things given to the Turks at any time.

Can the Turks without sharp teeth and claws beat the Han people?

Bang!

Bang!

The outside world suddenly had a loud gong and drum. It turned out that the Zhao people picked up the bamboo tube, put it in a tinder, and burned it into an explosion. The banging sound made the mules and horses scream uneasily, but the people enjoyed this moment. While the hundreds of opera artists were parading, the children clapped their hands and sang songs, as if they were having a festival.

Asuna Duo was worried, and at this moment, the people of Zhao were immersed in the joy of Zhao's defeat of Goguryeo. From the emperor to the people's hearts, the national strength was thriving.

The warship head splits the waves and sails on the vast sea. The Zhao-like battle flag is rushing, hundreds of large ships are sailing forward, and the bows are heading west. A black coastline can be seen from afar.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu was on the deck, looking into the distance. The waves came, and the waves on the bow of the boat splashed and fell on the deck like rain.

Li Chongjiu's cloak was slightly wet, and he had a strong salty smell on his body.

"Your Majesty, Dengzhou is already ahead."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I know, I will send the order to go on, and the fleet will advance along the coast and dock in Ye County, Donglai County."

"Yexian? Didn't you go to Sanchakou River estuary and land on the shore and return to Youjing?" Cheng Mingzhen asked in surprise.

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, everyone thought I would attack Goguryeo and return to Youjing, but they would never have thought that I did not go to Youjing, but led a large army to land in Ye County, and joined forces with Xu Shiji and Song King Kong to attack the Tang army in Shandong!"
