Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

But the purpose is self-evident, he is asking everything he feels he needs to ask.

As soon as Dai Zhou mentioned Xinxin, Li Chengqian's originally well-controlled emotions suddenly became flustered and nervous for no reason.

He who has not experienced worldly affairs and feels guilty in his heart, his energy-raising skills are still a little insufficient.

Of course, this change in his mood was caught by Dai Zhou.

"Lord Dai, if you need to investigate the case, this king will call that Hu doctor for you."

"If not, I'm sorry."

"Before this king's foot disease is completely cured, he will not see anyone."

"That's what the queen mother meant."

Hearing this, Dai Zhou smiled and said that he really came to visit His Royal Highness the Prince.

He even dared not come to the East Palace of His Royal Highness to hear the case.

Afterwards, after a few more polite words, Dai Zhou took his leave and left.

Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

On the other side, the land of Goguryeo, the battlefield in western Liaoning.

The Youzhou army led by Li Qiu has been fighting with an army of [-] led by Goguryeoyuan Su Gaiwen for more than a month.

After several consecutive battles, the arrogance in Yuan Gai Suwen's heart was severely frustrated.

Now, Li Qiu has captured the four cities of Goguryeo in western Liaoning.

Goguryeo's [-] army has also lost nearly [-].

However, the direction of the Youzhou Army suffered little damage.

Seeing Tang Jun's offensive like a tide, the army on his side was defeated.

Goguryeo Supreme Commander Yuan Gaisuwen smashed his desk angrily.

"Why is this damn Datang army so strong?!"

"Back then, I repelled the Sui Dynasty's three conquests with all my strength, and I have never been so embarrassed!"

"It's only been more than 20 years, and they have been in constant wars in the Tang Dynasty, and they have fought with the Turks to such an extent."

"How can there be such a powerful army?!"

Hearing his anger, the general Yanshou said: "Commander, the Youzhou army on the opposite side is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty."

"none of them."

"And the general of this army is their King Youzhou."

"At the beginning, the three consecutive Turkic khans all died at his hands."

"This king of Youzhou is very skilled in martial arts and extremely brave."

"There are countless Turkic generals who died under his command."

"Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, there is really no one on our side who is his opponent."

"General Huizhen was seriously injured by this person."

"The Tang Dynasty was able to survive the onslaught of the Turks a few times, and it was all because of the Youzhou army opposite us."

"Actually, when it comes to the ferocity and combat power of the soldiers, our army is not bad."

"However, the armor on their bodies is very strong, and the long knives in their hands are also extremely sharp."

"We are at such a big disadvantage now, mainly because of these armors and weapons."

"Marshal, as far as I know, the main force of their Youzhou Army is only 5 to [-] people."

"If we try our best to fight them, we can fight them all."

"Subordinates, I am willing to lead the way for the commander-in-chief, and I will spare no expense!"

Listening to Yanshou's words, Yuan Gai Suwen waved his hand.

"Whether it's our soldiers, or General Yanshou, you can't die so easily."

"You are the foundation of my Goguryeo foothold."

"Now, it is estimated that the envoys we sent out before have arrived in Khitan, Jurchen, Baekje, Silla and Mohe."

"This time, Datang first slaughtered the Turkic Grasslands, causing public outrage."

"Then he broke his oath and captured my Goguryeo city."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. I believe that these neighboring countries will never sit idly by."

"As soon as the reinforcements from all sides arrive, we will defeat this elite team of Datang together."

"Teach them a lesson."

"At that time, we will occupy all the new cities, farmland, and houses they built on the Turkic grassland."

"Take it as compensation for us!"

……

At the same time, in Li Qiu's Chinese army camp.

Several Dali Temple officials, carrying the daily documents sent by Chang'an City, came together with the team that escorted the military pay and other supplies.

Then they paid a visit to Li Qiu, very polite and courteous.

Seeing them like this, Li Qiu was also very impressed, and specially ordered to kill a few sheep to entertain them.

In the subsequent chats, they also asked about their health, and were more concerned about the situation on the front line.

He also said that if there is any difficulty here and needs help and let the court know, they will do their best to solve it this time when they go back.

Your lord, you and all the officers and men will open up territories for our Great Tang and defend against powerful enemies. We should do what we can.

Regardless of whether what they say is true or not, it is quite rare.

It is also much better than the officials who were members of the bastard gentry in the past.

To them, Li Qiu also said with a smile: "I will accept your wishes."

"Compared to the officials who sent documents and military orders from the court before, you surprised me."

"But I'm a little curious."

"This kind of daily affairs, why did you send people from Dali Temple here?"

At this time, the officials laughed and said, "My lord, you don't know anything."

"Now my Tang Dynasty is fighting on all sides, and almost all the officials in Chang'an City are non-stop, extremely busy."

"This time, there is also a shortage of manpower here, and a few of us were transferred here."

"By the way, here is another letter from Princess Youle to Princess Yunzhong."

"Specially asked me to hand it over to Princess Yunzhong with my own hands."

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness is in the army?"

Li Qiu didn't have any doubts about what they said, and just nodded to tell them.

When they had dinner at night, they would naturally be able to see Yun Zhong.

In the evening, as expected, A Ke led the team back.

These few officials also saluted A Ke very respectfully.

Hand over the letter from Princess Youle to Ake.

At the same time, he also said a lot of compliments and admiration.

As before, A Ke was relatively indifferent.

After nodding, he took the letter and turned to leave.

During the next three days, these Dali Temple officials walked around and looked around in the barracks.

In my spare time, I chatted with the generals and soldiers very enthusiastically and sincerely.

There is no airs in the slightest.

Everyone has a good impression of them.

Even when they were about to leave, the members of the Youzhou Army specially told them to remember to come again next time.

Chapter 638 Yanyun territory, taking shape

Not long after the officials of Dali Temple left, reinforcements from several countries on the Goguryeo side gathered together.

The army on their side is mighty and mighty, the total number of them is nearly 20.

For them, there are more than [-] people in the Youzhou Army, from top to bottom, none of them feel afraid.

Then the fierce battle between the two sides began.

At the beginning, Goguryeo and the coalition forces of several countries were quite arrogant.

The heart is also full of fighting spirit.

They all patted their chests at Yuan Gai Suwen, the regent of Goguryeo.

"Tang Jun broke his promise and disregarded his oath."

"We pay tribute to him every year and claim vassal status, but they come to take the initiative to attack you Goguryeo."

"Now, we must show our attitude and fight back strongly with their army!"

"Otherwise, they really think that our Liaodong countries are all made of mud?!"

"There are only 5 or 20 people on the opposite side, but we now have [-] people here."

"It's not difficult to repel them and help you regain the occupied city."

"It's just that when the time comes, don't forget that the promised benefits are..."

In the impression of these vassal states, the army of the Tang Dynasty still stayed in the period of Emperor Sui Yang.

It looks gorgeous and has a large number of people, but it is rotten to the bone and is not very strong.

In fact, most of their proclaiming and paying tribute to Datang every year is just a formality.

There are not many things that really pay tribute, just barely a happy head.

So don't look at them surrendering to Datang, but from the bottom of their hearts, they are not very convinced of Datang.

This is just like King Gaochang's visit to Chang'an at that time.

In his heart, he felt that the current Tang Dynasty was even far inferior to the previous dynasty.

So when the Western Turks sent troops to Yinshan to fight the Tang army, they also directly turned against it.

Cut off and dominated the Silk Road, in order to seek their own interests.

Although the troops of Baekje, Silla, and Khitan came to support Goguryeo, they were full of confidence.

But in the following consecutive battles.

The Youzhou Army led by Li Qiu directly crushed the arrogance in their hearts.

As soon as they saw too many dead people, they went to Yuan Gai Suwen to complain again.

"Great against Lu (Yuan Gai Suwen's official position is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty)."

"Why is the Tang army on the opposite side so strong?!"

"In less than ten days of fighting, our armies on all sides have already lost a lot."

"Our country is not as good as your Goguryeo. There are only so many troops in total."

"If everything is gone, we won't be able to go back to work."

"Yes, General Yuan Gai Su Wen."

"The Tang army on the opposite side is so powerful that we have rarely seen it in our lives."
