Tang's dining table

For Yun Chu, the person involved, this kind of thing is not pleasant at all.

If you don't kill the pawns, you can only leave it to Yang Jing and the others.

Yunchu was willing to hand over the people to Yang Jing for sale, but refused to hand over the surrendered soldiers to him. If he could not keep this bottom line, Yunchu would have to come to Liaodong again in a few years and continue to annihilate the people led by Yang Jing. Gangsta.

Zhang Donghai was the most efficient at trapping and killing the surrendered soldiers. When night fell, the army was dispatched to separate the surrendered soldiers, and then...

Therefore, the people can surrender, but the soldiers cannot. Even if they surrender, they will be regarded as a hidden danger by the other side and need to be monitored intensively. If there is no guarantee of monitoring, it is better to bury it.

Yunchu still had five days to arrive at Beisha City, so at the fourth watch of the next day, the army left Yincheng. Before leaving, Yunchu burned Yincheng.

A plume of thick smoke suddenly rose from the green grassland, and Yun Chu's army continued to march under this huge smoke column.

The successive capture of three powerful cities in Goguryeo made the soldiers of Yunchu tribe very high in fighting spirit.

An invincible self-confidence has been initially formed.

The army is a monster that needs to be fed by uninterrupted victory. This mental bonus to combat effectiveness is very powerful.

Coupled with the fact that this army has been separated from the main army for a long time and fought alone, Yun Chu's own ability to command this army has been greatly strengthened.

After Jian'an City and Yincheng were eliminated, there was no longer a Goguryeo city within a radius of four to five hundred miles.

Goguryeo, which was originally hiding on the peninsula, was very poor. It was mountainous and had a harsh climate. Therefore, it had to work hard for a year without enough food. It was not until after acquiring Liaodong that it became rich, and with the help of Liaodong's minerals, it strengthened its power. Only with military equipment did they have the strength to compete with the Central Plains dynasty.

Yunchu didn't want to underestimate Yeon Gaesumun, because this Goguryeo prime minister who liked to carry five swords on his back killed the original King of Goguryeo at the slightest disagreement, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then helped Gao Zang, the nephew of the original King of Goguryeo. As for the throne, the power of Goguryeo is naturally in his hands.

I heard that the person Yeon Gaesumun admired the most was Cao Cao, and he preferred that Cao Cao claimed to be a minister of the Han family and never betrayed the Han throughout his life.

Therefore, he claimed to be a loyal minister of Goguryeo and decided not to betray Goguryeo in his life. He would only be a minister, not a king.

For this reason, he worked hard for Gaozang, King of Goguryeo. Not only did he personally arrange Gaozang's residence, but he also married his daughter to Gaozang as his princess, and made his son Yuan Jiannan serve as Gaozang's bodyguard. At that time, he even asked Gao Zang about the meals he ate every day and the decoctions he drank when he was sick.

Under Yeon Gaesumun's meticulous care, Goguryeo King Gozang lived a happy and joyful life.

Therefore, when Yunchu's army finally saw the sea, everyone burst into joy.

Even Wen Wen, who was sitting in a carriage because of his illness, had to be carried to the beach by his own soldiers to take a good look at him.

Unfortunately, there is no good beach here, so the sea is just like that, at least in Yunchu's view, this is what it looks like.

When Yun Chubu arrived at Gao Kan's camp, he was almost shocked because Gao Kan's military camp was too big.

Looking at Bisha City high on Tiger Mountain, Yunchu couldn't understand why there was a Goguryeo city outside the military camp of the Tang Dynasty's 100,000 troops.

Gao Kan was very satisfied when Yunchu handed over the order. Not only did he cover 900 miles in fifteen days, he also conquered two Goguryeo cities. Although this kind of military exploits is not the best among the entire Eastern Expedition army, it is He is also one of the top few.

The most powerful among them are Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang. They have annihilated Baekje, a country that has been in existence for 600 years. King Fuyu Yici of Baekje has come to surrender, and Prince Fuyu Long and all the lords of Baekje have pledged their loyalty.

In accordance with the strategy agreed upon before the war, Su Dingfang established the five governor's offices of Xiongjin, Mahan, Dongming, Jinlian, and De'an in their respective locations.

The Five Governor's Offices of the Tang Dynasty administered thirty-seven states and 250 counties into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It was originally a good thing, but after Su Dingfang discussed with Pei Xingjian, he felt that there was not much gain from this battle. The main reason was that the people in Baekje surrendered too quickly, which led to the soldiers coming to Baekje to make a fortune with their pockets. There was almost no harvest, sorry for the soldiers who came to participate in the war.

So, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian gave a little indulgence to the 100,000 soldiers who came to participate in the battle. Then, the soldiers plundered Baekje three feet higher.

As a result, Baekje civilian resistance was triggered. It is currently said that a Baekje man named Heiji Changzhi is leading a group of Baekje people to fight guerrillas with Pei Xingjian. It is said that it will be quelled in half a month.

Ever since Yunchu heard the name Hei Te Changzhi, he knew that Pei Xingjian was bragging. He would not be able to put down this rebellion in half a month, but it might get worse and worse, and eventually ruin the good situation.

As for Xue Rengui... Yunchu didn't want to say it, but he had to say that Yunchu thought that 3,000 people had destroyed the Mohe tribe, which was already a great feat. However, after Xue Rengui conquered the new city, he conquered sixteen Goguryeo cities in one go.

And Yeon Gaesumun personally led troops to the new city. Because Goguryeo's heavy troops were all in the new city area, Yunchu took advantage of the boss and defeated the three cities of Goguryeo without Goguryeo reinforcements.

At least compared to the records of Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui, Yunchu's record was not outstanding.

After arranging the camps for the soldiers, Yun Chu was preparing to rest when he saw a dark old man standing at the door of his military camp, smiling at him.

For some reason, Yun Chu's eyes turned red and his nose felt sore after seeing this dark and thin old man.

"I'm here to bring you some food that can only be found at the beach. It's not really good, just a fun meal."

Yun Chu hurriedly stepped forward, took Liu Rengui's rough hand, and walked into the military camp.

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "There is still food to eat outside."

Then, two sailors who were darker than Liu Rengui walked in, carrying four huge baskets.

Yun Chu took a look at the crabs as big as a washbasin, prawns as thick as an arm, and a dozen fresh fish of different colors in the basket. The strangest thing was a large squid that was still wriggling its tentacles in the basket.

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's better to cook these things in one pot."

Liu Rengui pointed to the two sailors accompanying him and said, "Let them clean up. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk."

Yun Chu said angrily, "You refused to talk to me properly when you left. Why do you want to talk to me now?"

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "If you knew that I was going to build a ship, you would definitely stop me. Now that you know this is the result, what do you say to you?"

Yunchu recruited cooks from the army and asked them to learn how to make seafood from the two sailors. He and Liu Rengui came to the beach, listened to the noise of the waves, sat on an inverted fishing boat, and looked at each other, but they didn't Be anxious to speak.

"I heard that you made great achievements in this eastern expedition. The news of annihilating the Mohe tribe has spread throughout the army. It won't be long before your reputation as Yunchu's brave leader in the three armies will cause greater fluctuations in Chang'an.

Have you figured out how to face these things? "

Yun Chu took out the wine bottle, took a sip and handed it to Liu Rengui: "Continue to return to my Wannian County as my county magistrate. Once the gate of the official residence is closed, I will ignore everything outside."

Liu Rengui took a sip of wine and shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. Now I am a warning for you. You must see the road ahead of you clearly. You would rather stay where you are than pursue high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

None of the benefits given by the royal family are free. As long as they are given, they will take back enough benefits.

Generally speaking, high-ranking officials and generous salaries are actually a big trap, which is the only way to let the world's heroes enter the royal palace.

Once you enter the trap, your life will be truly sold to the royal family. You will work hard until you die, and you will never be free again. "

Yun Chu smiled and said, 'What happened? Do you regret it? I heard that you took on the drudgery of shipbuilding voluntarily. "

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Li Yifu has already taken things to that point. I can't even think about it. However, it's not so much that I was forced to go by Li Yifu. It's more that I want to hide in peace."

Yun Chu said: "In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Yuan Hongsi, the general manager of Youzhou, to build 300 ships at Haikou, Donglai. The officials were very anxious to supervise the labor. As a result, the shipbuilders were in the water day and night, barely daring to rest, and maggots grew from the waist down. , three or four out of ten people died as a result.

I wonder when you were supervising the construction of ships, did any of the craftsmen have maggots from the waist down? "

Liu Rengui: "Although it is not as bad as Xing Yuan Hongsi's bad government, it is not much different. The craftsmen are busy from sunrise to sunset, and they can't rest for a moment. The people complain deeply, among which the craftsmen in Hebei Province and Shandong Province are full of complaints. The most intense.”

Yun Chu added: "Although it is necessary to destroy Goguryeo, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

Liu Rengui looked into Yunchu's eyes and said, "You don't know something. The original capital of Goguryeo was Pyongyang, which was later renamed Chang'an.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, envoys from the Tang Dynasty entered Goguryeo and saw the Sui people who were captured when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo. The Sui people looked at them and cried all over the countryside.

By the Yalu River, another 300,000 Sui people's skulls and bones were piled up in Jingguan, which still exists today, with snakes, insects, rats and ants coming in and out.

The previous Sui Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo did not begin with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

Also, as Emperor Taizong was so wise, how could he not know the danger of conquering Goguryeo? Why did he launch a massive attack on Goguryeo after the country was initially settled?

There are actually reasons for this. "

Yunchu asked: "What's the reason?"

Liu Rengui took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Goguryeo imitated China everywhere and used China as a representation, but in fact it wanted to replace it with China.

In this way, this is the most dangerous enemy. No matter which emperor ascends the throne, Goguryeo will be the country that our Tang Dynasty must conquer.

Now, do you understand why His Majesty is so urgent? "
