Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight of Tang Gucheng
The daily food consumption of the Northern Expedition was the labor of hundreds of millions of people at the rear, and it might directly or indirectly kill countless people. Who should be blamed for this?
"Yes! This time, Concubine De can be granted the title of a marquis, and with the concubine's status, she can be compared to a duke. Concubine De is granted ninety days of time alone. When Concubine De is deducted, the King of Tang has not yet surrendered... De
The concubine and the remnants of Li Tang... beheaded!"
Wu Xin felt a chill in his heart, and a surge of anger rushed into his mind. He narrowed his eyes and revealed a frightening cold light. He nodded happily. After a pause, he continued in a cold voice:
"The achievements of De Fei's brother (Li Jiancheng) can also be included. Who else can be counted together if they want. I can afford it. What do you think of De Fei?"
"Well……"
Including Li Xiuning, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and even the fool knew that King Li was angry.
Typical of taking credit and being arrogant, relying on favor and being arrogant!
What emperor would like that?!
However, everyone did not know that not all Wu Xin said was angry words, but half of them were sincere.
Before leaving, some ministers, important ministers, etc. who were not very loyal to the country, or who were not firm in their stance, were either cleared away or taken away, so as not to leave any future troubles.
Wu Xin wanted to see how many ministers in Liguo were willing to pay their lives for the "enemy". This was not just a matter of fame and fortune, but it showed that Liguo was not taken seriously.
Li Xiuning opened her lips, but said nothing in the end. She knew that Li Wang Wuxin was angry and still insisted on it. That was really asking for trouble.
In fact, Li Xiuning also knew that the important matters of the country could not be decided as she said. She just couldn't help it before, and she was more or less spoiled and arrogant. Now it was self-defeating. How could she dare to say more?!
"If you have no objections, Concubine De will pack it up and we will be escorted by the three kings tomorrow to return to Jiangdu!"
Seeing Li Xiuning's expression turn silent, Wu Xin couldn't resist and said, then he looked at Master Yinshi and said:
"The Marquis of Nanyang is responsible for rebuilding and guarding Hangu Pass, and a follow-up army will come to help later. Marshal Yin led the personal guards, Suigu, General Huntian, etc., to Pingjin Pass. What does the Marquis of the Army (Marquis Yin Marshal) think?
"
"It's a blessing for me!" Yin Shishi replied without hesitation.
Hangu Pass is of great importance, and it is not suitable for him, a great Sui surrender general, and a great Sui surrender army to guard it. However, now that the war situation is running against time, more than 200,000 soldiers of Yin Division are needed to help rebuild Hangu Pass. Otherwise, Wu Xin may not even be able to guard Yin Division.
He would not stay, Master Yinshi didn’t think much about it.
Li Xiuning hesitated to speak, but nodded.
The road back to Jiangdu was all out of the country's territory, and there were more than 20,000 elite women's soldiers accompanying them, so there was no need to worry about safety. Wu Xin asked three ** kings to accompany him. It was called an escort, but it felt a bit like an escort!
Of course, this would also prevent Li Xiuning from continuing to stay in Henan County and being tortured between Li and Tang Dynasties, and avoid unnecessary complications.
"Take a day off and set off tomorrow..."
…
Just when Li Wang Wuxin personally led the various Li troops to besiege the Taiping Army, the Li troops outside the various passes, which had been prepared for a long time, also launched a fierce attack on the passes.
In order to resist the Sui Dynasty and Li Guo, Tang King Li Yuanben gathered the remaining Tang troops to the Eastern Capital, leaving only some to guard various passes.
After the Li army launched a fierce attack, in addition to the four passes such as Sheyuan Pass, Yique Pass, Hangu Pass, and Guangcheng Pass, three passes including Mengjing Pass, Xuanmen Pass, and Dagu Pass, two fell and one fell, leaving only Pingjin Pass in control.
In the hands of the Sui army, it served as a breakthrough point for the Sui army.
When the Taiping army was defeated and King Taiping was killed, seven of the eight passes in Luoyang had fallen into the hands of the Li army.
The Li army did not stay long at the Seven Passes of Luoyang, leaving only enough troops to guard it, so they all left the pass and went straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital, with many reinforcements arriving later.
The army of the old Wei, the army of the old Yan, the army of the Three Treasures, the five major armies, the Southern Barbarian tribes, the rebels from various places, etc. There are more than 20 routes alone, and the number of rebels on each route ranges from hundreds of thousands to more than 200
It ranges from ten thousand to ten thousand, and the total number exceeds thirty million. It is overwhelming and the sound is so huge that it shocks those who hear it and shakes the world.
On the surface, it looks like Li Guo is going out to attack the Eastern Capital at all costs.
This is the result of the rapid expansion of Liguo's territory and the retention of countless troops to guard cities in various places. Otherwise, the number of troops would not be more than 30 million.
Of course, more than half of them are the old Wei army and the old Yan army, and the Li army cannot gather so many troops in a short time.
The newly surrendered army has become the main force of the Li army to attack or besiege Dongdu!
What is certain is that such a large force shocked the world and made it difficult for the Tang State and the Sui Empire to sleep and eat well.
Yu Juluo, Ding Yanping, Pei Yuanqing and Qu Tutong, who were even hesitant to guard Pingjing Pass, heard about the formation of the Li army, and then heard that King Li personally led the imperial guards to arrive, and quickly evacuated...
Scared away!
…
February of the third year of Dali.
All the eight passes of Luoyang fell into the hands of Li Guo. Li Wang Wuxin personally led the Imperial Guard Xinwuwei, as well as more than twenty armies and hundreds of large and small legions, gathered in the eastern capital and surrounded them!
Throughout the ages, this is the only example of such a large-scale army being deployed to besiege a city.
At this time, not only the king of Tang Li Yuan and the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty were having trouble sleeping and eating, but also people in the eastern capital city were panicked and there was a turbulent undercurrent.
In addition to the White Horse Temple, one of the four major Buddhist temples, which had secretly surrendered to the country a long time ago, famous first-rate Jianghu forces such as Baihua Palace, Dayanhui, and Songshan Sect, which were originally loyal to the Tang Dynasty, also surrendered one after another outside Dongdu City and in Henan County.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the people, and the vast army is surrounding them, won't these Jianghu forces surrender and wait to die?
The Li army was different from the Sui army. The Sui army had to race against time to attack the Eastern Capital. The Li army was not in a hurry. They could have wiped out all the religions, sects, aristocratic families, etc., and then tried to conquer the Eastern Capital. They had no choice at all. Most of them simply heard the news.
drop.
Shaolin Temple is located in the hinterland of Henan County, on Shaoshi Mountain, a famous mountain in the Songshan Mountains. Because it is located in the lush jungle of Shaoshi Mountain, it is named "Shaolin Temple". It was first built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later developed into one of the four major Buddhist temples.
The pinnacle of super power.
On this day...
Iron-blooded evil clouds like dark clouds pressed against Shaoshi Mountain. Countless soldiers turned into countless long dragons, climbed the mountains and ridges, and flocked to the temple in the forest, frightening the birds and beasts in the forest.
The auras of hundreds of great monks were coming from all directions...
Two of the fairyland auras led nearly a hundred monks and landed in front of the Shaolin Temple.
The Demon Queen, the lord of the Palace of Gods and Demons, and Eunuch Hua, the lord of the Shadow Palace, personally led the notorious elites of the two palaces to arrive. Most of them did not show up, but were hiding around.
"King Li has decreed that Shaolin Temple, one of the four major Buddhist temples, will be destroyed within half an hour if it does not surrender. No chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
A thin and soft voice like a reminder resounded through the mountains and forests.
Unlike the White Horse Temple, the base camp of the Shaolin Temple is located outside the Eastern Capital. In some cases, it was exempted from the constraints of the Eastern Capital, but now it is dumbfounded.
Wu Xin not only wanted to besiege Dongdu, but also cut off Dongdu's wings at the same time, turning Dongdu into an isolated city...
****
As an emperor, you should focus on the world. However, after all, it is not a history book, and everyone still likes to focus on the protagonist...
