Li Shimin

After watching the two giant ships of Li Yuan and others leave, Li Xuan took Xue Rengui and other [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and began to slowly clean up those Jingguan.

As for Wei Sanlang and the others, they stood aside and watched tremblingly.

Only then did they understand why these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty came here alone?

……

In Datang, those gentry were still somewhat patriotic.

Although when facing Li Shimin and others, they will fight for power and profit, but they will try their best to seek benefits for their respective families.

However, when facing the vassal states of Goguryeo, most of them will be unanimous.

Especially those gentry descended from the former Sui Dynasty hated Goguryeo even more.

The Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince, the two great lords before and after the Tang Dynasty jointly issued an edict that Jin Wang Li Xuanba captured Goguryeo Beisha City and recruited [-] soldiers to defend the city together with Jin Wang.

At the same time, under Beisha City, a huge Jingguan was also found, which was the bones of the soldiers of the former Sui Dynasty.

This news made those gentry who retired from the former Sui Dynasty even more crazy.

Many gentry ran over directly with hundreds of private soldiers at home.

In less than half a day, tens of thousands of veterans were summoned in Qingzhou alone.

Moreover, everyone carries light weapons such as bows and arrows, horizontal knives, and more than ten days' rations.

However, heavy weapons such as armor, crossbows, and spears are not allowed to be made by themselves, and can only be issued by the court!

"Zhang Lao Liu, you are lame in one leg, why are you here to answer the call?"

"That's right, my Tang Dynasty is young and strong with millions, why do you need an old bastard to join in the fun? I'd better take your broken knife and go back and hug your grandson..."

"Fart, don't any of you old guys lack arms and legs, how can they be better than the old man? You are not convinced, come and compete with the old man? Whoever loves who has no eggs!"

"Hey, you old bastard is still so irritable, if you catch the right one, you will catch the right one, whoever loves who?"

Seeing this, there were also young men with weapons and equipment all around them, and they quickly stood up and grabbed the gray-haired old men who had rolled up their sleeves.

"Aye, the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are still on top, so it's not appropriate to go to war!"

"Exactly, Aye, the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness are still watching from above..."

"Also, no matter how many of you win, there are tens of thousands of people here, and the Supreme Emperor may not necessarily choose you!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the old men with beards blowing their beards and staring at each other instantly fell silent.

After a while, he stared at the young people beside him.

"The old man can't go, you must go!"

"You bastard, you know that there are four elder brothers above this old man, but all of them have been in Daye for eight years, and none of them came back as the army conquered Goguryeo!"

"Hmph, back then, the old man Aye also went out with the army and landed from Beisha City, but unfortunately he didn't come back!"

"You bastards, remember that the meritorious deeds this time are second to none. You must bring back the bones of the soldiers who were scattered outside. Maybe your uncles and old men are inside..."

Chapter 480: The Bones Return to Qingzhou!

Outside the city of Qingzhou, there are not a few gray-haired old men who hold this kind of mentality like Zhang Laoliu.

However, many people also understood in their hearts that these soldiers were recruited this time to guard Beisha City before the arrival of the Great Tang King.

Therefore, people like them who are old and lacking in body don't have any chance.

They came this time with only one ten-thousandth expectation in their hearts.

Even the Cui family came with two pale-haired old men, begging Li Yuan to allow them to set off with the army and go to Beisha City in person to welcome the bones of the soldiers back to the Tang Dynasty!

In this regard, Li Yuan sighed inwardly, and nodded slowly in agreement.

At the same time, an additional hundred veterans are allowed to go with the giant ship.

Hearing this, the veterans were astonished, and when they came back to their senses, their faces were filled with excitement, and they knelt down towards Li Yuan.

Old tears!

They never thought that there would be such a day for them to take back their elders and parents who were left behind in Goguryeo decades ago!

afternoon.

Li Yuan first took two ships of soldiers to Beisha City.

Finally arrived before it got dark.

After getting off the boat, the more than 100 gray-haired old men rushed towards the half-cleared Jingguan.

The [-] soldiers who followed behind paid homage to the Jingguan, and then they walked up the mountain under the leadership of Li Xiaogong.

As for the one hundred veterans, they didn't go up alive.

In this regard, Li Yuan could only leave two hundred soldiers behind and set up camp with the one hundred veterans!

With the addition of [-] soldiers, the protection in Beisha City was much tighter.

Early the next morning.

Li Yuan took two large ships, fifty veterans, and more than 100 wooden boxes containing the bones of former Sui soldiers to Qingzhou.

At noon, the Qinghe Cui family, Qinghe Fang family, Jeju Cheng family, and Lanling Xiao family, Langya Wang family, and Yan family also came to welcome the remains of the veterans of the two ships.

Under the auspices of Cui Xuanlan, one hundred boxes of bones were put down, and Li Yuan took Li Chengqian to stay in Qingzhou to rest.

After running around for days, his body was already a little unbearable.

And Li Xiaogong, on the other hand, took two boats, carrying [-] generals, and headed for Beisha City.

Three thousand soldiers arrived.

Afterwards, it took another day to clean up the Jingguan, put them into wooden boxes one by one, and transport them back to Qingzhou on a giant ship.

"My lord, since more than 5000 skeletons have been sent back, it is enough to have a general guarding Beisha City. Please return to Qingzhou."

Seeing the two giant ships slowly leaving, Zheng Fu said to Li Xuan.

"Don't worry, I think in the past few days, the cave city, stone city and Muyang city have also received news. This king wants to see how Goguryeo is attacking!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, looked around, and said: "In the past few days, you and Xue Rengui will lead people to supervise Wei Sanlang and others, and bring up some big stones. The terrain of Beisha City is so high, it is most appropriate to use big stones to defend the city! "

"Yes!"

Zheng Fu hastily clapped his hands in response.

The next two days.

Half of the original [-] soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou and the Zhechong Mansion in Dengzhou were divided and returned to Qingzhou and Dengzhou.

Zheng Fu and Xue Rengui, on the other hand, supervised the surrendered soldiers and found dozens of boulders as tall as half a man.

These boulders need four people to lift them.

However, Li Xuan, holding those boulders directly, walked up, and found a convenient place for those boulders, and placed them well.

This scene made Wei Sanlang and a group of descendants, and even the common people in Beisha City, look at Li Xuan again, full of fear.

There are people with such supernatural power in Datang!

at the same time.

In Qingzhou, disembark with the more than 5000 skeletons.

All around Qingzhou, all the aristocratic families and common people ran to the harbor to welcome them.

The heads were densely packed, and a large area was kneeling down.

This time, even the Shandong gentry who had always looked down on Li Tang's royal family looked at Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others with sincere smiles on their faces.

……

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Hall.

The envoys sent by Cheng Duanbo and Shi Chen finally arrived in Chang'an.

"The Supreme Emperor brought Gao Ming, and Xuan Ba, and the three of them jointly ordered to recruit soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou and Zhechong Mansion in Dengzhou? Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, tell me why?"

After reading the letter, Li Shimin looked puzzled.

If it was just Li Yuan, Li Chengqian or Li Xuanba alone, who were so forceful and eager to recruit soldiers from the Zhechong Prefecture of these two states, Li Shimin would have some doubts.

But now that the three of them are recruiting together, are you still in such a hurry?

Li Shimin just looked surprised.

"Your Majesty, do you know where the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Jin are going with these two soldiers from the Chongfu?"

Changsun Wuji pulled his beard fiercely, but also looked puzzled.

"Take a boat out to sea!"

Li Shimin said.

"Go to sea, go to sea..."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were stunned again.

"Your Majesty, there are so many soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion in the two states. Could it be that they are attacking the surrounding vassal states?"

Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie grinned and said.

"Attack the vassal state?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others were also shocked.

"Your Majesty, King Jin and King Hejian are both here, not to mention two soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture, even if there is only one soldier from Zhechong Prefecture, the small countries of Silla and Baekje can't resist it!"

Cheng Zhijie continued.

"But there is still the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor will never let Xuan Ba, Xiao Gong and others mess around..."

Li Shimin retorted subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Qingzhou!"

At this time, Li Wei quickly walked in from the outside again.

"Urgent report?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart was shocked, and he quickly said, "Where is it?"

Li Wei quickly handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the newspaper directly and read it.

Suddenly, his face was full of anger.

"Damn Goguryeo children!"

Then, his face was full of relief.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others looked at Li Shimin curiously.

Seeing this, Li Shimin directly handed over the memorial in his hand.

"When Xuanba, Taishanghuang and others were playing in the sea, they saw Jingguan piled up under Beisha City. Then, when Xuanba, Xiaogong and others were about to bring back the bones of the soldiers, the defenders of Beisha City attacked , Xuanba fought back and seized Beisha City!"

"King Jin is brave!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others were all beaming.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo Nazai first sent Turkic slaves to assassinate King Jin, and now its Beisha soldiers are attacking King Jin and the Supreme Emperor on their own initiative. This kind of crime cannot be forgiven. I request to lead troops to go out!"

"Your Majesty, I also request to lead troops to go out to take advantage of the opportunity to take down all the cities such as Xuecheng, Shicheng, and Jian'an!"

Cheng Zhijie and Hou Jun gathered several people, and they also hurriedly called for a fight.

"Your Majesty, we will discuss this matter later!"

On the side, Changsun Wuji hastily bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Now, the most important thing is to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to send a general to King Jin and King Hejian County to recruit [-] soldiers on the spot to guard Beisha City. !"

"Exactly, if possible, take Shepherd City too!"

"In addition, send envoys again to question the King of Goguryeo, why did he attack my Prince Tang three times?"
