Autumn is gone in a blink of an eye, and Youjing welcomes the first snowfall after the beginning of winter.

The snow was rising, the gray tiles and yellow walls were painted white, and the avenue was buried by snow.

Hundreds of red-armored cavalry guided the way in the south of the city, and the carriage behind them was dragged by a carriage surrounded by three armies and slowly advanced.

In the carriage, the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was slightly ignited, and Li Chongjiu was closing his eyes to rest, holding a stack of memorials at hand.

At this time, two light knocks outside the carriage, and the voice of Gao Sheng, the inner court official, came from outside: "Your Majesty, the imperial guard has arrived in Youjing."

Li Chongjiu opened his eyes when he heard this and opened the cotton curtain on the car window. The gate of Youjing South City was already in front of him. The city wall was towering and the eaves of the city tower were hanging low, revealing a sense of majesty.

Li Chongjiu said lightly: "Abolish the ceremony of all officials to welcome the waiter in Linshuo Palace, and there is also the matter of offering the captives under the palace. We will discuss it later."

"No, Your Majesty!" Gao Sheng heard Li Chongjiu's orders and said loudly: "Go!"

The gate of the southern city opened rumblingly. In the snow all over the city, Li Chongjiu led the victorious army from Shandong to return to Youjing.

After the capture of Qingzhou City, Shandong, a month ago, Li Chongjiu left Song Jingang to lead the army to guard the army. While appeased the people, recruited soldiers and trained troops to intimidate Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai River.

This time, the State of Zhao collected a total of 65 counties in Shandong, Donglai County, Beihai County, Gaomi County, Langya County, Donghai County, Jibei County, Qi County, and more than 300,000 households. Li Chongji ordered Song Jingang to recruit soldiers in Qingzhou, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and promoted Song Jingang to the general of the Imperial Guard. He was the third rank and ordered him to choose 10,000 people in Qingzhou and enrich the Imperial Guard.

In this way, the number of the six guards in the Zhao State Administration was already neatly arranged, with each guard being rated for 15,000 soldiers.

Wang Mahan, the general of the Yigu Army, and Wuguna, the general of his commander. The Yigu Army was the Imperial Guard, followed about Li Chongjiu as the Imperial Guard.

The general of the Wuwei Army was Xue Wanche, and his generals Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were stationed in Youjing.

The general of the Guards was Yuchi Gong. The general Xue Wanche, who was stationed in Taiyuan.

The general of the guards was Xu Shiji, and his generals Su Dingfang, Tanzong, and Li Yiman were stationed in Henan.

General Hou Weijun was Shan Xiongxin, and his general Qia Shu was stationed in Luoyang.

The Imperial Guard General was Song Jingang and stationed in Shandong.

However, after a series of wars, the Wu Guards and the Tun Guards suffered heavy casualties, and needed rest and replenishment. The Imperial Guards and Hou Guards had just been organized and their combat effectiveness was not strong, so they also needed time to rest and recuperate. However, this time, the attack on Goguryeo also plundered a large amount of treasures and military rations, enriched the treasury of Zhao State, and finally filled the deficit of fighting for a year.

Li Chongjiu was thinking about gains and losses. At this time, the car had already arrived at Linshuo Palace.

"Your Majesty, you're here in Linshuo Palace."

Li Chongjiu frowned slightly and said, "I said that I have returned to Beijing this time, and I just want to sneak into the city, not to disturb Zhou Zhang, and alarm all officials and the people..."

"Your Majesty, I did not order all officials to come and welcome him. It was because the queen and concubines who heard that Your Majesty had returned to the palace, so they came outside the palace to welcome him."

When Li Chongjiu heard this, his anger disappeared in an instant. He immediately picked up the curtain and got out of the carriage, but saw that under the palace gate, his queen and concubine were waiting there.

Li Chongjiu walked to the palace and said to Yang Ehuang: "In such a strong snowy day, why do you come here to welcome me? What should you do if you are frozen?"

Yang Ehuang smiled gently but didn't say anything. Shi Deyun said in a resentful tone: "Your Majesty didn't say that. This time, this campaign against Goguryeo will be at least one month or more, and at most forty days, but how can you know that you will go for three months? Your Majesty. You have no jokes."

Li Chongjiu listened to Deyun in Shi said this and smiled and said, "You have improved a lot of Chinese language recently, who did you learn from?"

"It was taught by Empress Su."

Li Chongjiu was slightly stunned when he heard this. When he turned around, Su Miao bowed his head to salute him. Li Chongjiu smiled gently and said, "You have been in the palace for a long time. Are you still used to getting along with the concubines?"

Su Miao was wearing a small sleeved shirt, revealing her beautiful curves, and a yellow forehead was placed on her forehead, which was particularly eye-catching. She said, "Several sisters are very nice to me. Although I have not seen Your Majesty in the palace for several months, I miss you very much, but rather than seeing Your Majesty every day, it is better to tell him from thousands of people that he will conquer Goguryeo and pacify Shandong to be happy."

Li Chongjiu was very happy when he said this. He couldn't help laughing. He helped Su Miao up and turned his head to see Li Zhiwan. He also stood there with a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Li Chongjiu didn't need to guess, and he knew that Li Zhiwan was definitely jealous again. However, no matter how jealous Li Zhiwan was, she would not attack in front of others. She knew how to be a wife and always kept her majesty in front of outsiders. She would definitely complain to herself in private.

But sometimes Li Chongjiu just likes to look at Li Zhiwan and looks jealous and angry at herself.

"Go back to the palace, I want to take Ying'er's homework exam."

"Your Majesty, you are tired from the expedition, so you should take a rest."

"No, I saw that you were exhausted. Everyone talked well tonight's family dinner."

Three days later, Li Chongjiu held a ceremony to offer prisoners in Youjing. Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu and the Goguryeo royal family tied their hands on their backs, wore white clothes, and walked on the road. Countless people in Youjing rushed to the streets to watch and see this scene.

But seeing the Zhao army's golden armored warrior leading the way, the Goguryeo people lowered their heads and walked. There were countless Goguryeo royal artifacts seized, which were also displayed together, opening the eyes of the people.

When Yang Guang failed to conquer the three expeditions of Goguryeo, the people of each county fled when they heard that they wanted to conquer Liao. After Yang Guang's siege of Yanmen, he was forced to end the expedition of Liao under the pressure of the people. Only then did the people breathe a sigh of relief. However, the people had regarded the expedition to Liaodong as a way to die. Sometimes, as soon as the news of the expedition to Liaodong came out, no one left in the entire village.

Now, Li Chongjiu only used 30,000 troops and 10,000 Silla reinforcements to cross the sea to break through the Goguryeo royal city and defeat the Goguryeo emperor.

When they saw King Goguryeo, they were escorted and prisonered like an ordinary person. When the people saw Gao Jianwu hanging his head, they were completely denied the majesty of a king. Thinking of the hatred of Liaodong, countless children died in a foreign land, the people couldn't help but glar at this person. If it weren't for the soldiers on the side, they would have thrown bricks to kill Gao Jianwu.

"The Lord of Goguryeo is just like this. It may not be so great."

"Why did our millions of troops fail to capture Liaodong at the beginning?"

"Yes, why can Your Majesty take this king with ease and do something that even a million troops cannot do?"

Among the crowd, Zuo Xianyou, who was on the side of the mission to serve Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, was watching the scene with his sleeves blankly.

Once he was a prisoner, he was pulled out to parade and offered prisoners to Taimiao, and the dignity of being a king was gone. The Emperor of Zhao said this and warned the world and the end of being an enemy of Zhao. At the same time, he also inspired the morale of the people and showed his martial arts to the people of Zhao. Zuo Xianyou said to himself.

Zuo Xianyou thought about it. It was a mistake for King Wu to bet on Li Tang all the bets. He did not expect that Zhao would pacify Shandong so soon. Now that the Zhao army has incorporated Qingzhou army, Chen Bing Peng and Xu, the King of Wu is nervous. Isn’t it too late?

Zuo Xianyou shook his head, thinking of going to Zhao State here, and carrying the mission of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, he also had a close contact with Zhao State. He felt that his head was getting bigger. At this time, there was no infernal Affairs, but wandering between many people at the same time really made him tired.

When they arrived at the Honglu Hall of Zhao State, the person who received Zuo Xianyou was Pei Ju, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

Pei Ju's reputation is well-known to Zuo Xianyou. When this man was a favorite minister of Yang Guang, he could have made a country prosperous and destroyed a country with one word.

Pei Ju smiled very kindly, which made Zuo Xianyou's nervousness less. Pei Ju said to Zuo Xianyou: "Your Majesty, you can't get out of your way, so you can't come in person. So I asked me to entertain the noble envoys well and fulfill the friendship of the landlords. If there is any place to visit in Youjing, I will arrange for the officials of the Honglu Temple to accompany you."

Zuo Xianyou smiled bitterly and said, "It's a matter of 100,000 yuan that I'm in Youjing. How dare I go and play casually? I just ask to see His Majesty Zhao immediately."

Pei Ju heard this and said lightly: "Your Majesty has an explanation. What do you mean by the Imperial Guard? By the way, you have seen the scene of the King of Goguryeo today who is capturing the Taimiao? "

"See it." Zuo Xianyou's forehead was slightly sweating. In front of Pei Ju, he felt that the two of them were not the same heavyweight negotiating opponent at all.

Pei Ju smiled and said, "The noble envoy can go back and tell the King of Wu."

Zuo Xianyou jumped and laughed dryly, thinking that after Zhao Guoping Shandong, the next step is to really go to Jianghuai? He deliberately offered prisoners to Taimiao for one day and arranged for himself to go to Youjing, just to watch this scene by himself.

Zuo Xianyou said: "Since Mr. Pei can be fully responsible for this matter, I will tell the truth. At that time, the Lord and the King of Wu had a tacit understanding, and the two families did not invade each other with the Huai River as the boundary. Now Song Jingang led his troops to station between Peng and Xu, for some reason?"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "The envoy misunderstood. General Song and Peng Xu were to guard against Wang Shibian, the general manager of Xuzhou in Li Tang, which was not bad for Jianghuai. We also opened the skylight and said something bright. You have received a lot of money from our Zhao court in recent years. Should you sometimes consider it for us?"

Zuo Xianyou looked embarrassed and his body became a little shorter in front of Pei Ji and said, "You are so good to say, but in fact, someone came here this time and was ordered by Fu Bo."

"Is it Fu Gongyou?"

"That is, Fu Bo assisted the King of Wu to raise the rebellion and conquered the Jianghuai Army today, but he was always very dissatisfied with the King of Wu's surrender to Tang. So Fu Bo said that he hoped to replace the King of Wu and become the leader of the Jianghuai Army, and hoped that Zhao State could help one or two."

Pei Ju couldn't help but look very interested and asked, "I remember that Fu Gongyou and the King of Wu are friends who are slashing their necks, so they have also opposed the King of Wu."
