Tang's dining table

Chapter 444: The title of Marquis is not my wish

The original Goguryeo Dawangseong was a capital city composed of a plain city and a mountain city that were dependent on each other. This city group also included the Inland Castle and the Wandu Mountain City.

This was the earliest capital of Goguryeo, and the whole of Goguryeo lasted here for five hundred years.

Therefore, outside Dawangcheng, there are more than 7,000 tombs from the Goguryeo era.

Of course, the Jingguan built by the Goguryeo people, which made the Tang people extremely ashamed, is also here. Although when Taizong attacked Goguryeo, the remains of the Sui and Tang people here were burned into ashes and brought back to the country for burial.

However, last time I was in a hurry and didn't do it thoroughly. This time, I want to completely remove the last evidence of the Jingguan left in the world.

At Li Ji's order, the 280,000-strong army returning to the imperial court deliberately diverted to Dawangcheng. The civilians excavated the remaining parts of the Jingguan, burned the collected corpses to ashes, and took them away in boxes. .

Then, the Tang army began to dig up the ancestral graves of the Goguryeo people all over the mountains and plains. After finding the skeletons, they filled in the original location of the Jingguan and sealed the earth into a mound. In this way, a new Jingguan was formed.

Li Ji also carved an inscription on the stone on this Fengqiu, which was called - Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo here.

He also ordered the blacksmiths in the army to melt 20,000 kilograms of iron and put an iron hat on Fengqiu.

In fact, there are such stone inscriptions on the cliffs east of Liaoshui River on slightly higher cliffs and in slightly more important places.

Seeing Li Ji laughing and pouring the half-drunk antiseptic on the newly carved stone tablet, Pei Xingjian whispered to Yun Chu who was standing next to him: "I have destroyed so many cities. If I had known , it’s time to engrave on those cities that Pei Xingjian destroyed the city here.”

Yunchu looked up and saw Li Ji dancing his sword on Juqiu while singing tuneless tunes. He was very involved and said to Pei Xingjian: "This is my battlefield. Wait until you command an army of millions and conquer the world." , it is not too late to commemorate him with a stone."

Pei Xingjian added: "This time, all the territory we conquered will be handed over to people from Hebei. A certain family feels it is inappropriate."

Yun Chu said: "This Eastern Expedition has almost absorbed all the people's support in Hebei. It will not work without compensation."

Pei Xingjian said: "Destroy three Koreas at once. From now on, we will have no rivals in the world. It will be difficult to achieve military success again."

Yun Chu said: "There are plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Anyway, the Turks will always rebel, there will always be turmoil in the Western Regions, and the Tibetans will always come down the mountain to harass us when they have nothing to do. Jin Famin ran away with his people, and will come back sooner or later to take revenge. So, You will have many battles to fight in the future."

Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Rengui, who was sitting upright with a wine glass, and said to Yunchu: "I am the most dazzling hero in this battle. One of you and I were defeated in Baekje and the other in Silla. Only I am the real hero." The unparalleled warrior in the world makes me angry just thinking about it."

Yunchu looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "I am the magistrate of Wannian County, and you are the magistrate of Chang'an County. Two civil servants and a military general competing for the first place in the world will harm our status as officials."

Pei Xingjian said: "I don't believe you can be so calm."

Yun Chu raised his glass to invite Xue Rengui to drink, and Xue Rengui also raised his glass in response. When the other generals saw Yun Chu's invitation to drink, they also raised their glasses in response. Only Guo Daifeng turned his head and pretended not to notice.

Then, Yunchu threw the wine glass and smashed it on Guo Daifeng's face. He then lifted the bed under his buttocks three or two times, pressed Guo Daifeng under him, and smashed the bed headlessly and facelessly. Although Guo Daifeng resisted desperately, Yun Chu had already turned into a fierce general with long arms and legs, great strength, and rich experience in beating people. Guo Daifeng was his opponent. , after receiving two consecutive heavy blows on the waist, he curled up and lay on the ground holding his head, resisting the beating from Yunchu.

Seeing that this guy was already bleeding from his mouth and nose, Yun Chu let him go, lifted him up and roared: "How dare you humiliate me!"

Guo Daifeng opened his mouth full of blood and said, "If you dare, beat me to death."

Yun Chu said: "After you recover from your injury, I will hit you again."

Guo Daifeng roared: "Grandpa, wait!"

Guo Daifeng was beaten innocently, and the other generals looked at Yun Chu not so kindly.

Yun Chu squinted his eyes, looked around and said, "Those who want to stand up for Guo Feng can stand up now."

Seeing Yun Chu's strength, several young generals were held down by their companions just as they were about to stand up. For a moment, the scene became surprisingly quiet.

It was clear that a fight had begun here, but Li Ji was still dancing with his sword, drinking wine, and reciting poems. Big bosses such as Qibi Heli, Gao Kan, and Pang Tongshan pretended not to see it, and each had their arms around the beauties of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The beauty drinks and eats meat and feels free and at ease.

If before the war, no one dared to touch Li Ji's military power, now that the war is over, everyone knows that after Li Ji returns home, he will retire and return to his hometown, and the fear of him will naturally fade away quickly.

Seeing that the big guys pretended not to notice, everyone turned their attention to Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and Cheng Mingzhen.

As a result, Xue Rengui was busy drinking, Pei Xingjian was busy talking to Wang Fangyi, and as for Cheng Mingzhen, when Yunchu beat Guo Daifeng, he deliberately moved his butt outwards to give them a spacious place to attack.

The old ones were pretending to be stupid, and the new generation of leaders pretended not to see it. Therefore, everyone's desire to stand up for Guo Daifeng faded away.

Let Yun Chu truly establish his authority on the way back to the imperial court.

Leaving Guo Daifeng behind, Yunchu safely returned to his seat and sat down. Wen Wenwen whispered: "Be gentle."

Yun Chu whispered: "Look at how cowardly he looks, he can't do it hard."

Wen Wen sneered and said: "Don't look at their majesty now, their majesty is given by the soldiers under their command.

When we go home and skirmish all the way to Chang'an, we and Pei Xingjian will have the most troops. By then, they will be nothing.

My ancestor wrote a letter saying that Changsun Wuji’s side is no longer stable. God knows if these people have any connections with the Changsun family. It’s best to cut off the relationship once and for all, so as not to let these people use the opportunity to fight together after returning to Chang’an. Friendship pulls us to do some things that are available and not available. "

Yun Chu nodded. The reason why he beat Guo Daifeng just now was for this purpose.

Li Zhi liked and trusted Captain Zhechong. The captains under these people had the power to submit memorials to the emperor. Many of the generals who were dawdling here may not have this power.

After returning to Chang'an, he might be promoted or make a fortune, and then he could become a general, general, or assistant general in the Twelve Guards of Chang'an. He would wander around Chang'an doing nothing all day long until the next war breaks out, and then he would be captured. The emperor assigned him to go out to fight.

These people don't have much official business, but they have endless private affairs. They like to hook up with each other on weekdays, but whenever the emperor is dealing with matters such as rebellion, he can always take away a few of these people who have nothing to do and like to hook up everywhere.

Seeing that Yun Chu had calmed down, Xue Rengui came over and said, "There's no need to treat your colleagues like this just to avoid suspicion, right?"

Yun Chu said: "If you like hanging out with them, don't blame me for laughing when you were beheaded and your house was ransacked."

Xue Rengui frowned and said: "They are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. They will not be so unbearable. In the future, whenever I lead the army in battle, I have to fight with them. If you cut it clean like this, what will happen if there is no one to support you in the future?"

Yun Chu sneered and said: "We have said before that soldiers should be more pure. Those who protect their families and country with their hands are certainly worthy of our respect. If fighting is just for promotion and wealth, how far can such people go? Just get as far away from me as one more glance will stain my eyes.

Finally, I would like to advise you that when you go to war in the future, it is best to find a few good partners. As a general, the most pitiful thing is that you are not defeated by the enemy, but are tricked to death by your own people. "

Pei Xingjian, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, came over and said, "When we return to Beijing this time, we will definitely be promoted. Do you still plan to guard your Wannian County?"

Yun Chu said: "I went to war this time because I was worried about leaving the people of Wannian County in the hands of others. Secondly, I wanted to expand territory for the Tang Dynasty and wash away the shame. Now, both goals have been achieved. As for getting promoted and making a fortune, to be honest, Yun has not thought about it yet."

Pei Xingjian looked at Yun Chu suspiciously. He had always felt that Yun Chu was not as tall and selfless as he said.

However, there was no evidence to prove that Yun Chu was a despicable person who said what he said and meant what he said, so he shook his head and said: "After I go back this time, I plan to be the head of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After working for two years and getting familiar with it, I plan to hire an official." Let me do this for you, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui and said, "How did you arrange it?"

Xue Rengui said: "The newly established Qianniu Guard has never had a general, and I don't know if I can get this position."

Pei Xingjian said: "If you want this position, then you have to give in on the title. His Majesty is very strict with titles above marquis. If you are given the position of Qianniuwei General, your marquis will be in danger.

Yun Chu is different from you. If he didn't have any requirements for actual duties, his title would be higher.

It's a pity that he was born in white before. This time his military honors must be from the Shangzhu Kingdom, and he is most likely to be awarded the title of Earl. It would also be great if he could get the title of Earl of Guan Nei. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Wannian County Magistrate is fine. I don't care about that."

Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian saw that Yun Chu's indifference was not fake, and couldn't help but feel ashamed in their hearts. Unlike Yun Chu who came out to fight, their only purpose when they came out to fight was to be granted the title of marquis immediately!

When Li Ji is crazy enough, the banquet will be over.

She looked at Yunchu softly and said, "Do you really not care?"

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "Did you meet me on the first day?"

Wen Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, I understand, this is what you often call a bitch setting up a memorial arch, right?"
