Tang's dining table

Clearing out the indigenous people in Liaodong was a national policy formulated by the Tang Empire.

Destroy Goguryeo, capture its king, destroy the ancestral temple, exterminate the royal family, destroy the city walls, and relocate its people...

Although these words do not contain the words "exterminate the Miao descendants", in fact, the above content is all in service of these four words.

Yunchu thought he was from the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he was a Tang Dynasty person himself. He didn't feel the slightest discomfort being with these ancient Tang people.

Since he considers himself to be a Tang person, then the wishes of the Tang people are Yunchu's wishes.

If you win, everyone will enjoy the wealth and joy brought by victory. If you fail, everyone will bear the pain and disappointment brought by failure.

Regardless of victory or defeat, there are always a group of people around you who have the same fate and the same joys and sorrows as you, so that you will not feel lonely alone.

This is the meaning of clan and tribe.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was actually an enlarged version of a tribal war. It was a life-and-death struggle and a war to give one's own tribe a greater living space. As a member of the tribe, Yun There was no choice at first.

Because this is the will of the entire tribe.

There is nothing wrong with the Goguryeo people in Jian'an City being suffering. All Yun Chu can do now is to work hard to prevent his tribe from suffering such pain.

The military situation was urgent. Yun Chu still had more than 400 miles to travel, and there was a city wall called Yincheng in front of him that needed to be conquered. Therefore, just after dawn, Yun Chu set off again with a large group of troops.

Nothing has changed except that the convoys passing through the baggage camp have become longer.

The road, which had been soaked by heavy rain for two days, became muddy. Fortunately, Yun Chu's troops had many troops and horses, and there were also many slave soldiers who helped pave the road. They managed to walk at the speed of Sunshine Avenue on the muddy road.

In the past, Yun Chu had pity on these slave soldiers, at least treating them as human beings, but not anymore. To him, these people were just a group of tools, and they were the kind of tools that could be thrown away after use.

If it really came to a point where these people needed to be pushed to the ground so that the army could pass, Yun Chu would not hesitate.

When he left Jian'an City in the morning, he saw corpses soaked in muddy water, and the naked corpses of women. He also saw large groups of Goguryeo people being strung up with ropes by slave soldiers and driven to the south. .

The number of slave soldiers under Yang Jing's command did not decrease because he sent a team to deliver slaves. On the contrary, they became more.

Yunchu, who served as the county magistrate in Datang, knew clearly that there might be people in prison who were unjustly accused, but the number would not exceed 20%, and there was not a single person in Wannian County's prison who was unjustly accused.

As long as the facts of the case are still open to discussion, Yun Chu will not give them to Yan Jiu as toys.

After leaving Jian'an City, the land suddenly became flat. Once the land began to become flat, the sky would lower. The so-called wilderness and sky were low, which was the scene in front of us.

It's not raining in the sky, but there are still overcast clouds. Big, big dark clouds are almost grazing the treetops and moving slowly. They like long grass. After the earth has been washed by the rain, it spreads a green grass carpet to the horizon.

Wolves were howling in the distance, wild sheep, wild deer, and some unknown small beasts were walking through the wild grass. Some of them were sluggish and would look at Yun Chubu's long team for a while, and even more Some stupid ones will come over and prepare to observe closely. Then, there will be a rope around their necks and they will be led by the soldiers. When they camp at night, they will become food on the table.

The scouts came to report and found a Tang army twenty miles ahead. Judging from the flag, it should be a team from Zhechong Prefecture in Chengzhou. There were not many of them. They were a standard team of four regiments with 1,200 people. .

An hour and a half later, Yun Chu finally saw this team. The leader, Lieutenant Zhe Chong, and two Captain Guo Yi stood on the roadside to greet General Dingyuan.

Yun Chu looked at the three officers who were covered in dirt and said, "Why did you stop here?"

The leader rushed to the captain and said: "The axle is broken."

Yun Chu looked up at their long motorcade and said, "You are transporting grain. Where are you transporting it to?"

Zhe rushed to the captain and said: "Yalu water."

Yun Chu said: "There has been a lot of rain in this area recently, so I want to prevent moisture."

Captain Zhechong gave a wry smile and said: "General, it's too far and the road is not easy to walk. Thirty percent of the oxen and horses we brought have been damaged. While the soldiers are on their way, they have to work as oxen and horses to pull the carts. If this continues, General This is going to be delayed.”

Yun Chu looked at the tattered leather boots on Captain Zhechong's feet and sighed, "What should you do if you encounter enemy soldiers like this?"

Zhe rushed to the captain and said, "Just fight."

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "What you think is simple."

Then he said to Wen Wen: "Give them fifty cows and fifty draft horses."

Wen Wen nodded and asked Army Sima to do it.

Lieutenant Zhe Chong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, general. With these cattle and horses, I will definitely transport the rations to Yalushui."

Yun Chu took out a pair of his own leather boots from his horse bag, handed them to the captain and said, "Our feet are about the same size. Let's put them on. There are no barefoot captains in the Tang Dynasty."

The captain hugged his boots and said, "Thank you, general, for the generous gift."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "We are in the same robe, what's the matter with changing shoes?"

After saying this, he saw that the Army Sima had given the extra oxen and horses to the captain. Yun Chu waved to the captain and continued on his way.

"Where are you going, general?" the captain asked loudly from behind.

Yun Chu said: "Ke Yincheng, Xia Beisha City!"

The captain and his subordinates stood on the roadside and watched Yun Chubu go away. Colonel Guo Yi said: "Captain, who is this General Dingyuan? This is the first time I have heard of a man named Yun in our army. General."

The captain threw off his rotten boots and put on the replacement boots given by Yunchu, and walked two steps on the ground: "Yun Dingyuan, who just killed King Mohe with a formation of three thousand troops in Gaimu City, is said to be an unparalleled general."

Another Captain Guo Yi said doubtfully: "It doesn't look very powerful, it looks gentle."

The captain sighed and said, "I'm a civil servant. Damn it. Civil servants are so good at fighting these days. How can we, serious military officers, mess around?"

Let's go. Fortunately, it was a soft-hearted civil servant who gave our brothers a hundred cows and horses for free. This saved our brothers' lives. "

Naturally, Yunchu couldn't hear the conversation of these people, and even if he heard it, he didn't care. Nowadays, the distinction between civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty is really serious.

During the Taizong Dynasty, it was difficult to tell the difference between civil servants and military generals. When you thought the other party was a military general, he would dismount and start to calm the people and govern the country.

There, like now, civil servants are civil servants, and military commanders are military commanders. People are so angry in the court all day long that they can't even open their eyes.

Civil servants like Yun Chu are not like civil servants, and military generals are not like military generals. Now they can still take advantage of both sides. When Li Zhi really starts to reform the distribution of power in the government, it will be people like him who will have the hardest time.

Just like a bat, it is annoying to both birds and beasts.

The more desolate the place, the more beautiful the scenery. The grass blanket is endless, and the edge of the leaden sky seems to be waiting for you forever in the distance. When you think you have reached the edge of the sky, the sky is waiting for you further away. .

Yunchu walked on such a muddy road for two days at a stretch.

Fortunately, the road is slowly getting harder... In fact, it cannot be said to be a road, it is just a wasteland that has been walked by previous generations.

"Yincheng must be captured. This is an armor production place in Goguryeo. The place where armors were made in the past was Gaimucheng. Later, Emperor Taizong captured it and took away tens of thousands of Goguryeo armors.

Later, after Emperor Taizong retreated, the Goguryeo people chose Yincheng as the place to make armors. It was closer to the seaside and could easily transport the armors back to Pyongyang. "

After hearing Wen Wen's words, Yun Chu glanced at Zhong Kui and the other two captains and said, "If this is the case, this city is worthy of our all-out effort to attack. However, we don't have much time, and we must think of a way to attack it quickly." A way to conquer this city.”

Zhang Donghai said: "Still the old method, let Yang Jing and others sneak in and guard the city gate, and then we will use the cavalry to charge."

Wang Defa frowned and said, "We have already used this method once."

Yun Chu said: "Don't be afraid of old methods, as long as they are useful."

So, the soldiers called Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers over. After explaining the plan, Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers shook their heads at the same time and said: "General, Yincheng is a military city. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all. Although There are less than three thousand guards here, but the defense is so tight that it will be difficult for us to steal the city."

Yun Chu said: "Who can enter the city?"

Yang Jing said quickly: "The army and officials."

Hearing what Yang Jing said, Yun Chu looked at Wen Chu and said, "How is your Korean speaking?"

Gentle and disdainful said: "The Goguryeo civil servants are better at speaking Tang dialect than you. At least they won't suddenly pop out of their mouths a few weird Western dialects that others can't understand."

"You mean that Goguryeo's civil servants also spoke Tang dialect?"

Gentle said: "If you meet Yeon Gaesumun, you might like him. My father had met Yeon Gaesumun when he came to Chang'an. He quoted scriptures and some remote allusions even my father. I can’t answer, so in Goguryeo, all civil servants speak Tang dialect, which is pure Chang’an dialect, especially when facing vulgar generals, they don’t speak a word of Goguryeo dialect.”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "In that case, let me pretend to be a Goguryeo official."

Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu and said, "Have you ever learned the bad etiquette of the Goguryeo people?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, doesn't it mean that their etiquette is not for transporting us?"

She smiled softly and said, "It's really different. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to kneel down except for great etiquette. They, the deputy generals, all kneeled down to speak when they met the general."

Yunchu looked at his gentle knees and said, "Can you kneel down?"

Wen Wen rolled her eyes and said, "I'll just pretend to be a higher-ranking official."

Yunchu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now that everything has been arranged, where can we find the clothes of Goguryeo's civil servants?"

Yang Jing said with a smile: "The villain is here. The villain peeled off the clothes of Da Laisa in Jian'an City, and there was not a drop of blood on it."

The first chapter is delivered, wishing everyone a happy National Day.
