Undercurrents were surging in the imperial court of the Tang Empire, and a shocking event was about to break out. However, Little Li was completely unaware that he was currently sleeping soundly on his horse, discussing his life ideals with the Duke of Zhou's daughter.
Li Zhi, who had already made up his mind to hold off the army of Quangesomun, spared no effort after receiving the order from Li Jing. He set up traps on the road, ambushed and harassed them in the night, and naturally transformed a trump card cavalry into a mysterious guerrilla team. Along the way, Quangesomun suffered heavy casualties, but walking along the river often made his feet wet.
Li Zhi, who was dominating the enemy's rear, wasn't as heaven-defying as Mao Taizu, playing the people's war. The logistics of the Dragon Riders couldn't keep up, and their offensive power was greatly reduced. Even though they had caused heavy losses to the Goguryeon alliance army, the 9,000 Dragon Riders that had pledged to march from Chang 'an were now down to 7,000, a total of 2,000 Dragon Riders.
However, hard work paid off. At the same time, they paid a painful price and finally delayed the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops for several days. Now the coalition troops had arrived at the city of An City and confronted the Tang army. Li Zhi could finally lead the exhausted Dragon Knights to the Tang army camp to rest.
"Hmm, what's wrong with the Crown Prince? Could it be that after hearing that the Dragon Cavalry had returned, Li Jing had rushed out of the tent with his generals, only to see Li Zhi tied to the horse's back and unconscious?
"No... It was fine. The Crown Prince is just tired and has fallen asleep. Uh, I also want to sleep.”After saying that, Guihai Yidao fell off his horse with a whoosh. He fell to the ground, rolled over his thigh, and fell asleep.
"What's going on? You're so tired after touching the widows at night.”Cheng Yaojin looked at these disheveled and bloodstained Dragon Riders in disbelief. He remembered how shocking and imposing these Dragon Riders were when they first set out.
Unexpectedly, none of the Dragon Cavalry soldiers who had already entered the camp answered Cheng Yaojin's question. Their bodies relaxed after entering the camp. With a continuous thud, they fell off their horses and fell asleep.
Zhangsun Wuji had already gone up to greet him and personally took action. With the help of the soldiers beside him, he lifted Li Zhi off the horse and took a closer look. When he realized that his nephew was really asleep, Zhangsun Wuji heaved a sigh of relief.
"Let them sleep for now. Zhang Liang's navy is still a bit further away than the Dragon Riders, and they've already arrived. With the Dragon Riders 'formidable mobility, it took them so many days to arrive. It seems like these children have been fighting a bitter battle to stall the Goguryeon army for the past few days. I'll send them in to rest first, then prepare hot water and food. These thousands of Dragon Cavalry soldiers have already become the heroes of my army, so I can't wait any longer.”Seeing that the Dragon Riders had successfully completed their assigned task and rushed back in time, especially since Li Zhi was fine, Li Jing felt much more relaxed and spoke more cheerfully.
"Haha, as expected of my disciple. He roamed the Liaodong Plains without a single obstacle, rendering the hundreds of thousands of Goguryeon soldiers helpless. Wahaha, he truly has the demeanor of my Old Cheng.”Cheng Yaojin's mustache was trembling, and the walnut-like eyes on his face were about to roll up to the sky.
"Old Cheng? What kind of dogshit demeanor did Old Cheng have back then? It was just a coincidence that you met a good material. Speaking of the Crown Prince's indomitable and imposing manner, he was very similar to me. Isn't that right, fellow colleagues?" Yuchi Big Blackie looked at Cheng Yaojin with a face full of jealousy. The two of them had been enemies for a lifetime, so who else could cause trouble if he didn't?
His words made all the generals present burst into laughter. However, these old soldiers had always admired the strong. Li Zhi's consecutive battles were all real, fought with a knife and a spear. These old ruffians could not help but be convinced.
"Big Black Yuchi, just be jealous of Old Cheng. He's a mediocre person who isn't envied by others. Old Cheng is used to being envied by people all his life. Even my son is a three-year-old. What does this mean? Old Cheng's bird is better than yours. You guys are not good enough.”Old Cheng stretched out his finger and kept shaking it. He was so proud that he got carried away.
Angry, Cheng Yaojin had angered everyone. Although these old men were not young anymore, no one would admit that they could not do it. Face, the face of a man made these old men who were watching directly from the audience, beautifully transformed into players, and went all out to argue with Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin puffed up his chest and took a deep breath. What a joke. I, Cheng Yaojin, am called the Demoness Cheng. Is that an undeserved reputation?
With his mouth, he was afraid of no one. With his hands on his waist, Cheng Yaojin twisted his mouth and opened his bloody mouth to roar back. He had the style of Zhuge Wuhou in the past.
The young generals who were watching from afar had all gathered in the cowhide tent where Li Zhi was resting. They did not see the style of their old man cursing on the street.
"Oh my, did the party leader dive into the sea of blood this time? The blood scabs on his body are several kilograms. If he were to throw them out, they would be able to kill the three old men.”Li Yexu shook the Mingguang Kai that he had taken off Li Zhi's body, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Hate, hate, hate…I, Li Jingye, hate that I didn't follow the party leader to roam the world and sweep through Liaodong. I killed him until his blood flowed like a river, and the sun and moon lost their light. The stars changed, and the sky darkened. Sigh, that one misstep back then caused the world to lose another peerless killing god.”Li Jingye had a bitter expression on his face as he held his heart. He was full of grief and sorrow, and his face was full of coquettishness.
The tent suddenly fell silent. Everyone was shocked by Li Jingye's shamelessness.
"Do you know what an optimist is?" In the tent, Cheng Chumo suddenly muttered to his second brother, Cheng Chuliang, with an expressionless face.
"I know that…He's like a teapot, his butt is burning red, and he's still in the mood to whistle!”The youngest, Cheng Chubi, understood his brother's intentions very well and immediately went forward to take it.
The three brothers looked at each other and high-fived each other to celebrate.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish.”This was Fang Yizhi.
"We are not afraid of enemies like tigers, but we are afraid of comrades like pigs!”This was Fang Yi 'ai, it seemed that the younger brother was much more ruthless than the older brother, his words were a killing move.
"Everyone, please forgive Brother Jingye. He's actually a god descending to the mortal world…really!! It was just that when he descended to the mortal world, he accidentally landed on his head first. He could not take care of himself in life. It was understandable for him to have a concussion.”
"Take your hand and feed it to the dogs."
" A real warrior, daring to tell the most disgusting lies."
These were the brothers of the Yuchi family, and the three brothers were no less eloquent than the third young master of the Cheng family.
Next was Xiao Ling, Li Yesi, and Du He.
After everyone finished speaking, Li Jingye raised his eyebrows indifferently, not caring about the malicious injuries of the crowd at all." You know, a man's pregnancy is like a woman's pregnancy. It takes a while to see it. You can be jealous of me, but I won't give you autographs, nor will I satisfy any of your abnormal and perverted desires.”After saying that, he even shook his big butt at everyone.
All the silkpants looked at each other, then looked at Li Jingye in unison and shouted," Strangle this shameless bastard!"”
The silkpants in the cowhide tent were in a mess.
The lovely dividing line.
"Ah, this feels so good. How many days has it been since I've had such a good night's sleep? That damned brat Li Zhi, he's constantly scheming and scheming. He and his Dragon Cavalry Army are a bunch of scoundrels.”Gao Huizhen had a good night's sleep, but when she woke up, she couldn't help but think about how she couldn't sleep for several days. She was afraid. Now that she had just woken up, she couldn't help but ask about Li Zhi's immediate female relatives. It seemed that Comrade Gao had really been played by Student Li.
"General, the envoy of the Tang army is asking for an audience outside the camp?”The guards outside the door interrupted Gao Huizhen's carefree greetings.
"Envoy? What was that Li Zhi trying to do?”Gao Huizhen angrily jumped on the bed. When she heard the word 'Tang Jun', she thought of the days when she could not eat well and sleep well. She was angry and afraid. She wanted to do a C-section like the Japanese shorty.
"General, this is not the envoy of the Dragon Cavalry Army, but the envoy of the Tang Dynasty's Marshal Li Jing.”As expected of Gao Huizhen's guard, he knew his general's hidden illness very well.
Upon hearing that it had nothing to do with Li Zhi, Gao Huizhen's head and waist were no longer aching, and even her anus felt warm. She jumped down from the couch, tidied up the corner of her clothes, and sat upright." Let that envoy in."”
After a while, the guard opened the tent and a middle-aged scholar in white Confucian robes walked in. He bowed to Gao Huizhen and said with a smile,""Wang Xuance, the emissary of the Great Tang, greets General Gao, Commander-in-Chief of the North.”
"How dare you! Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?" Gao Hui had really decided to humiliate this amiable envoy of the Great Tang today. [F * ck! If you want to blame someone, blame your Tang Crown Prince for being too unethical. Isn't it just to restrict our army? It's enough for everyone to show their sincerity. Is there a need to work so hard? We're all just making a living. It's not easy for anyone.]
Wang Xuance shrugged and said helplessly,""Before coming here, His Highness the Crown Prince said that General Gao is a talented man. He has been fighting hard against the elite army led by His Highness the Crown Prince for so many days, but he still has a strong fighting force and is a respectable general. However, I represent the honor of the Tang Dynasty, so how can I kneel down to the minister of the vassal state?”
Wang Xuance spouted a string of nonsense without even blinking. What did the crown prince say? Right now, Li Zhi was probably still sleeping in his tent. Could he be dreaming?
But those who could not wait would definitely believe it. Looking at Wang Xuance's bitter, helpless, and gloomy face, Gao Hui was a little confused." Are you serious?”
"If you think it's true, every word you say is true." Wang Xuance looked at Gao Huizhen with a displeased expression, which was like the Tang version of Nicholas Cage.
As expected, Gao Hui really believed him. Perhaps it was also a subconscious self-consolation. He was not too bad. Wasn't it because the Crown Prince of the Tang Empire had also acknowledged him?
With a much gentler attitude, Gao Huizhen asked the guard to bring a chair for Wang Xuance to sit down.
"When two armies are fighting, we don't kill the envoy. This general knows this, but in order to avoid gossip, why don't you tell me what's going on?”To be able to sit on the position of the northern governor, Gao Huizhen was not a pig head. Now, it seemed that she was a monkey head with some brains.
Sitting on the chair, Wang Xuance cupped his hands and smiled.""General Gao, do you know why our Great Tang has sent troops on this expedition?”
"Do I even need to say that? It's all for my Goguryeo. Hmph, the Great Tang still wants to destroy my Goguryeo.”Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Gao Huizhen's face darkened with disdain. Damn it, you're testing me. It's so simple. You're looking down on me.
"That's not true. If our Great Tang had the intention to destroy Goguryeo, why did Gao Jianwu not make any move after so many years of rule, and why did our Great Tang come the moment Quain Gaesomun usurped the throne?”Wang Xuance's pained and incomprehensible expression made Gao Huizhen waver a little. It seemed to be the case.
"Then you are…"
"Gaesuwen killed his master, so the Great Tang has come to punish him. As for the war, it was never the Great Tang's will. My army is deep in your borders, and there is a shortage of food. Thus, I will first seize a few of your cities. Once Goguryeon recovers the etiquette of vassals, I will naturally return the cities to you. At the same time, it's also to set an example for the other countries. Otherwise, how can our Great Tang restrain the vassal states in the future?”Wang Xuance approached Gao Huizhen and said with a mysterious smile," Well, I won't tell anyone."
" What you said is true, but your Crown Prince…" Gao Huizhen was still a little hesitant, especially when she saw Li Zhi's behavior.
"The Crown Prince's assault on the allied camp is a lesson to Quangesomun. If not, how would the Tang Empire be able to maintain its reputation? As for stopping the General, it is also because we hope that the General will not rush to An City so quickly. This also proves that the Tang Empire has no intention of war. Otherwise, why would we send the Crown Prince to desperately delay the General's march?”
" Hmm, that makes sense." Gao Huizhen was a little shaken.
"General, to be honest, the Emperor of Great Tang hates Quangesomun to the core. When he heard that General is the Governor of the North of Goguryeo, he sighed deeply. The person that Goguryeo entrusted to us is not a person, so why isn't he under General's rule? This will only benefit the Great Tang and the people of Goguryeo.”
"What do you mean?" Gao Huizhen looked at Wang Xuance in realization.
"General, you don't have to think about it. Although the Emperor of Great Tang hopes that you will become the ruler of Goguryeo and is even willing to send troops to help, he doesn't want you to surrender or drive a wedge between you. All of Goguryeo knows that you are loyal to Quangesomun, and that you would go through fire and water for him without hesitation. You are simply like Quangesomun's servant.”Pretending to be gentle, Wang Xuance slapped Gao Hui's face, not even looking at Gao Hui's livid face.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I'll go back first. General, have a good rest. Don't act rashly and lose the lives of the soldiers.”Wang Xuance stood up, bowed, and left.
Only Gao Huizhen remained in the tent, her expression constantly changing. After a long while, an inaudible voice came from the tent.
The lovely dividing line.
Tang army camp, commander's tent.
"This humble servant did not fail my mission. That Gao Huizhen is already tempted, and he believes that our Great Tang is not here to destroy Goguryeo. With the bait we threw out at the end, his mind is probably in a mess right now and he will definitely let down his guard.”
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction and smiled." Xuance, thank you for your hard work. You are also a member of the World Party, right? Hmm, not bad. There are many hidden talents in the World Party."”
"Marshal, you praise me too much. This is all thanks to the Crown Prince's many years of nurturing.”Wang Xuance replied humbly.
"This bewitching array has already been set up. The follow-up army of Quangesomun will arrive at the city of An City tomorrow.”
Li Jing stood up and looked at Zhangsun Wuji with a strange smile.""The auxiliary engine is right... Today... Late."
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses and giving Li Jing a thumbs up." Impressive, impressive. The net was just cast and no one expected it to be pulled back so quickly. What a surprise."
"This time, it is time for the generals to make contributions. We must not slack off.”Li Jing suddenly shouted.
"Yes," the old men in the tent stood up and agreed. Their voices were low but firm.
Tonight was going to be another sleepless night. Of course, the exception was Little Li and the Dragon Riders who were still sleeping.
The lovely dividing line.
The little monster dream-talked,[Wang Xuance is a great man. He destroyed a country by himself, but this kid did it.]
