I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 818

With the lessons learned from Ashinasheer, Yi Nan had to doubt Goguryeo's intention to send troops.

One must know that Yuan Gai Suwen brought 20 soldiers and horses. If Yuan Gai Suwen counterattacked when they were fighting Datang, it would be a catastrophe for them.

If the Tang army had not retreated to the Mukun tribe, which was thousands of miles away, he would never let the Goguryeo army approach the royal court.

"My king was also assassinated and died. The current king is no longer the previous king. The Sui Dynasty's three conquests of Goguryeo and the use of millions of troops failed to do anything to me. Shame, the new king will naturally not be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty when he succeeds." Yuan Gai Suwen said.

Yi Nan felt that something was wrong, it was fine that Goguryeo Mo Lizhi was assassinated, but even the king was assassinated.

But it's not easy for him to ask about the internal affairs of the family.

However, he was not worried that Yuan Gai Suwen lied to him. As for the assassination and death of King Goguryeo and Mo Lizhi, he could find out quickly by sending someone to investigate.

"Before this Khan was still wondering why Datang suddenly withdrew his troops. Now it seems that Datang should have received the news of Mo Li's dispatch of troops." Yi Nan said.

"Haha, so Mo Lizhi has helped us a lot, Ben Khan toasts you." Yuan Qi laughed.

Yuan Gai Suwen had a drink with Yuan Qi with a smile, and said: "As far as I know, although Datang retreated, he still stayed in the grassland. It can be seen that the Tang army is not really going to retreat, but is waiting for reinforcements. In my opinion , we might as well raise our army and leave Datang’s 20 soldiers and horses in the grassland. In this way, Datang’s vitality will be severely damaged, and there will be no possibility of raising troops again in a short time, and we can even send troops to capture the Central Plains.”

Yuan Qi and Yi Nan were a little hesitant when they heard the words. They had just suffered a big loss in the hands of Datang, and they were a little afraid of Datang.

But Yuan Gai Suwen's words moved them a little.

The conditions of the grassland are harsh. In winter, not to mention the cold weather, there is also a shortage of food.

And Datang not only has cities to shelter from the wind, but also houses to keep warm, and more importantly, Datang has no shortage of food.

It can be said that the nomads are very eager to take over the Central Plains.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." Yi Nan said.

Yuan Gai Suwen encouraged them to fight Datang so much, which made him a little suspicious, and he planned to investigate whether what Yuan Gai Suwen said before was true.

Yuan Qi originally wanted to agree, but when he saw what Yi Nan said, he didn't express his opinion in a hurry.

Yuan Gai Suwen smiled faintly, he could see that Yi Nan and Yuan Qi were already moved, and they were not in a hurry.

……

"General Manager, Goguryeo's 20 troops are indeed here to support the Western Turks, a small country, don't you think I, Tang Dynasty, can't destroy him." Cheng Yaojin said cursingly.

"It doesn't matter." Li Daozong said with a smile: "Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have always been at odds with each other. Now that Goguryeo is added, do you think the three parties can really let go of their grievances and unite with a tacit understanding?"

Needless to say, the relationship between Western Turks and Xue Yantuo, and when Western Turks and Xue Yantuo were short of food, they dared to rob even the Tang Dynasty, let alone Goguryeo.

Compared with Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo is naturally easier to rob. Generally, if the food shortage is too serious, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo will not go to the Tang Dynasty to plunder, but Goguryeo will patronize every year.

Now that there is a foreign enemy, it will naturally make the three parties let go of their grudges, but once the foreign enemy is gone, the three parties will inevitably calculate each other, and then the fighters will naturally appear.

After dismissing all the generals, Li Daozong came to the camp where Li Chengqian lived.

"I see Your Highness." Li Daozong bowed and saluted.

"Uncle Wang is free." After Li Chengqian called Li Daozong to sit down, he asked, "Uncle Wang came to see Gu. I don't know why?"

"Your Highness, there is no war for a short time now, and it's time for Your Highness to return to Chang'an." Li Daozong said.

"What Uncle Wang said is that Gu will leave tomorrow." Li Chengqian said.

For him, staying in the army for so long is enough, and there is no point in continuing to stay here.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Chengqian set off for Chang'an. Compared with the time when he came this time, there was an extra Tong Eshe.

……

Changan
When Li Lizhi came out of the palace, a dozen or so carriages full of things followed behind her.

These are all tributes from the palace, even if she is a princess, she won't have much share for a year.

This time there are so many, the price is 1000 million yuan.

Of course, in addition to these tributes, there is also a Marquis.

But this requires the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree.

Although the title is rare, seriously, let alone a marquis, even if it is a duke of the state, even if it is hereditary, it will not have 1000 million crowns until the dynasty perishes by relying on food.

Take Cheng Yaojin as an example, the income from the food town and the rewarded land is only two to three thousand yuan a year.

It seems that it is not worthwhile to get a Marquis title for 1000 million, but sometimes having too much money is not a good thing.

The reason why Li Lizhi agreed was because Lin Xuan had told her before that he would donate the money to the court if necessary.

Not long after Li Lizhi left, Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Hall.

"How about it, did Li Zhi agree?" Li Shimin asked.

He knew that what he did was a little unethical, and it was tantamount to using Li Lizhi to take out the Lin family's money while Lin Xuan was away.

But there is no way, he is short of money.

"Lizhi agreed without even thinking about it. Someone will send it tomorrow morning. She also said that Zichu had told him before that the Lin family was sparsely populated, and it was useless to ask for so much money. If the court needed it, just Donate to the imperial court." Empress Changsun said.

Li Shimin was a little ashamed when he heard the words, Lin Xuan was so selfless, but he was suspicious of Lin Xuan.

But after all, Li Shimin was an emperor through the ages, and this shame soon disappeared.

To him, just because Lin Xuan is selfless doesn't mean he won't doubt Lin Xuan anymore.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Prince Jiangxia." Li Mu hurried in and said.

"Guanyin maidservant, I have something to attend to, so I won't come over for lunch." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left the Lizheng Hall in a hurry.

When he returned to Ganlu Hall and read Li Daozong's urgent report, Li Shimin's face was as gloomy as water.

Although he has always had the idea of ​​sending troops to Goguryeo, but now he has not troubled Goguryeo, but Goguryeo sent troops first, how can he not be angry?
This also strengthened Li Shimin's heart to destroy Goguryeo.

After Li Shimin calmed down, he called his confidants to discuss.

"Zhuqing, what do you think should be done now?" Li Shimin and others asked after reading the battle report.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the most urgent thing to do is to find out what happened to Goguryeo. According to what I know about the King of Goguryeo, this person is as cowardly as a mouse, and he will never dare to send troops to Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling said.

"Fang Xiang is right. I feel that the Northern Expedition is meaningless, and we should retreat first." Changsun Wuji said.
