Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The saddest thing is the cold weather at night, and the haggard man cannot be pitied. Invite wine to destroy the intestines and get drunk after three cups. Looking for fragrance and startling dreams at dawn.

The hairpin-headed phoenix is ​​leaning towards you with tears, but the tea flowers are spent on me and I have no chance. The lonely heart of the small building is as hard as a hook and it is hard to round.

Half a month passed in a flash, and Li Shen and his army finally arrived in Khitan territory.

In order to show his loyalty in this battle, the Khitan King sent [-] elite cavalry to obey Li Chengqian's dispatch, especially when His Highness the Crown Prince was still commanding him.

When it comes to Khitan, the first thing that comes to Li Shen's mind is Qiao Feng, a character he fought to play as a child in his previous life.

He is a man of integrity, chivalrous and courageous, and has strong martial arts skills. Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng are famous in the world. Li Shen was also a martial arts fan in his previous life.

I have deeply studied that Khitan is the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and most of Liaoning. So Qiao Feng is from Northeast China, probably from Liaoning.

Murong Fu restored the Great Yan Kingdom, which was historically known as the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms. Among them, the Murong clan of Xianbei established the former Yan, Later Yan, Western Yan, Northern Yan, Southern Yan and other Yan regimes.

The geographical location is also in Liaoning, so it can be concluded that Murong Fu and Qiao Feng are probably fellow villagers.

Li Shen even searched history specifically for this purpose, but found nothing.

Li Chengqian's 15 soldiers and horses quickly joined the [-] soldiers and horses who arrived first.

The 15-strong army standing in front of the attack was commanded by Li Daozong and assisted by Li Ji, Zhang Liang, and Cheng Mingzhen. They were waiting here for Li Chengqian's arrival.

"See the Grand Marshal." Several people saluted after meeting.

"I've met your uncle, thank you for your hard work." Li Chengqian also saluted Li Daozong.

Afterwards, several people entered Li Chengqian's marshal's tent and saw a man lying on a rocking chair, sleeping soundly.

"Tenth brother, tenth brother." Li Chengqian shouted twice. In order to join the army, he got up early today.

Li Shen was also dragged up early by Li Chengqian.

"Hmm, huh??" Li Shen opened his eyes drowsily, and then looked around. Well, it's not his palace.

I just had a dream and was woken up by someone in the gentle village.

"See the Grand Governor." Several people had already received the new news, and Li Shimin appointed Li Shen as the Governor.

"Yeah, I've met the emperor's uncle." Li Shen started up a little slowly and said a few perfunctory words.

Li Chengqian no longer cares about Li Shen. Along the way, Li Chengqian has seen the limits of this younger brother's laziness. He opens his mouth when food comes, and stretches out his hands when clothes come.

No wonder he told Li Shimin that he couldn't take care of himself and was too lazy to do anything.

After everyone sat down, Li Chengqian asked first;

"Uncle Emperor, what are the changes in Goguryeo now?"

"Coming back to the Generalissimo, it's even worse than the battle report. We have been stationed here for half a month, and people are constantly fleeing, and there are even many nobles.

Their property was robbed by the hungry people, and they had no choice but to flee. General Cheng's tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Liaodong City.

Moreover, there was Liaodong City as a checkpoint, so people came here and then went south from Khitan to enter the Tang Dynasty.

In accordance with His Majesty's decree, arrangements have been made for people from several tribes to move to the border to accept these refugees. At present, there are no less than [-] people. "

After Li Daozong finished speaking, he looked back at Li Shen on the rocking chair. He knew that these were all caused by Li Shen's plan.

After reading the intelligence they received in Chang'an, they felt that Goguryeo was in chaos, but when they saw it with their own eyes here, they realized that it was even worse than what the intelligence said.

The only people who could eat well were the noble ministers of Goguryeo, and even the soldiers in many cities had one meal of gruel a day.

In some cities, the people killed the officials and robbed them of food. The soldiers took off their clothes and fled.

Li Chengqian listened to Li Daozong's words. Although he couldn't bear it, this was indeed an opportunity for Datang.

"Uncle Emperor, and everyone, I am still young and need your help in marching and formation. I would like to thank you all here." Li Chengqian stood up and saluted several people.

Several people quickly stood up and returned the gift, saying that they didn't dare take it seriously.

In fact, Li Chengqian didn't understand anything at all. He stayed at Yucai for so long and learned a lot about the art of war from Li Jing, but it was just talk on paper and no actual practice.

Li Chengqian continued after sitting down;

"This time we will act according to the plan formulated by the Ministry of War. We will enter Goguryeo from here. We will first capture Wuliluo City as a base in the rear and slowly extend to the surrounding areas.

Their main forces are now concentrated in three places, Domestic City, Pyongyang, and Liaodong City.

The other cities are all garrisoned, so there is nothing to worry about. "

"It's all at the discretion of the Generalissimo." Several people stood up and said.

"Okay, let's repair today, and tomorrow the army will march directly to Wuliluo. The terrain there is open and it is convenient to station 25 troops." Li Chengqian said with high spirits.

He could finally open up and expand territory for the Tang Dynasty like his father.

"Tenth brother, tenth brother."

"Uh-huh???"

"Do you have anything to add?"

"Well, I agree with brother's opinion. Everything he said is right. Huhu..."

"......"

Everyone was speechless. The governor sent by His Majesty seemed useless. Are you here to take credit?

But that's wrong. It's useless for King Ji to take credit for his achievements, and he's not allowed to compete for the throne.

Except for Li Chengqian, only Li Daozong knows what Li Shen's role is. If everything goes well, Li Shen will have no role at all.

Li Shen's role is to come up with clever ideas when something unexpected happens.

In the early morning of the next day, the army marched into Goguryeo after dinner. Along the way, everyone really saw the tragic situation of Goguryeo.

Occasionally, you will see people dying on the road. In many places, the grass roots have been dug up.

The trees were also bare and their bark had been removed.

Li Chengqian ordered that when there were corpses, they should be buried on the spot. He really couldn't bear to let these people die in the wilderness.

With an army of 25 and 10,000+ laborers, walking is indeed very slow, and the supply vehicles alone can’t be seen at a glance.

Li Shen has also seen the troubles of ancient expeditions, such as food, weapons, and livestock. It turns out that sending troops in ancient times not only required tens of thousands of troops, but also tens of thousands of people in labor.

In addition to transportation, the work of laborers also includes cleaning the battlefield and building fortifications. If the war situation is critical, they may also be used as cannon fodder.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw Wuliluo City, a large city, which can also be said to be a fortress city. This is the westernmost and border city of Goguryeo.

According to the intelligence, [-] soldiers and horses were stationed here to prevent the Khitan invasion.

Li Chengqian ordered to set up camp ten miles away, bury pots to make rice, and was about to attack the city. If you don't have enough food, how can you attack the city.

At this time, everyone was discussing in Li Chengqian's commander's tent, including Li Daozong, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Cheng Mingzhen, Ashina Sheer, Li Simo, Qiu Xiaozhong, and Qibi Heli. Of course Li Shen is definitely indispensable.

(I wish our motherland prosperity and happy National Day everyone.)
