This time the Tang Dynasty army attacked very quickly and was invincible. All the officials began to worry about whether the Tang Dynasty army would really hit the capital.
At this moment, a goatee minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We must first understand the battle on the front line."
"It's Duke Fu. You're right. We really can't mess up the situation now."
It had been some time since Jin Kwon-shin took over as king. In these years, he had calmly dealt with the frequent attacks from Silla, Baekje and other countries. He could not be frightened just because of the menacing Tang Dynasty army.
After he recovered, Jin Quanxin asked the soldiers who came to report to explain the war situation clearly.
After waiting for a cup of tea, everyone figured out what happened in the past three days.
The Tang Dynasty army divided into three groups and marched towards the territory of Goguryeo. They were familiar with the terrain and successfully launched raids many times. They also targeted the weak points of defense in each city.
After everyone understood this, the civil servants and military generals began to discuss it.
"It's really strange, why did the Tang Dynasty army understand the terrain of our country so clearly?
There are many important valley routes that even we ourselves don’t know about.”
"And I heard that when they attacked our city wall, they also used a strange weapon with amazing power."
"Is it possible that our military information was leaked... Didn't the prime minister and several generals sneak into the enemy's country before?
Is it possible that they leaked it?"
Everyone was talking a lot, their voices were anxious, and one could sense their emotional fear.
No wonder it is like this. The current Tang Dynasty army is completely different from the Tang Dynasty army they knew before. If the Tang Dynasty army in the past is compared to hyenas, the current Tang Dynasty army is simply the ancient ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex!
But when all the officials were in panic, Minister Goatee stood up to calm people's hearts.
"Don't panic, everyone. I think the Tang Dynasty army is adopting a quick attack this time. They will be unable to follow up and cannot penetrate deeply."
Why is Minister Goatee so judgmental?
Quite simply, the Tang Dynasty army did not continue to advance after capturing more than 20 cities, indicating that their support strength was insufficient.
In this case, there is no need to worry about the Tang Dynasty army continuing to march eastward to the imperial capital.
After King Jin Quanxin heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said with great doubts: "Then what should we do next?
Today's Tang Dynasty army is different from the past. If they are allowed to continue to advance eastward, they will definitely destroy our country."
"Your Majesty, peace talks!"
"Peace talks..." Jin Quanxin also thought about peace talks, but if there were peace talks, the Tang Dynasty court would probably raise the price, right?
After all, it was because of what happened before, first the assassination of Li Shimin, and then the kidnapping of the crown prince Li Chengqian. All these things had completely angered the Tang court. Even if the other party was willing to negotiate for peace, they would probably kill Goguryeo several times.
.
Rubbing his temples, Jin Quanxin said: "Let me, the king, think about it."
Some people are happy and some are sad. The imperial capital of Goguryeo was filled with dark clouds and rain, but in Dongyang County in the Tang Dynasty, there was a atmosphere of joy and brightness.
At night, the stars and moon are bright and the cool breeze blows.
In the military camp, the square wooden houses were brightly lit with candles. At this time, Muchuan, Lin Qihe and other personnel gathered here to celebrate!
Although Muchuan originally planned to capture the twenty cities of Goguryeo in two days, it actually took more than three days, but this result already made everyone happy.
"Our victory in this war is entirely due to Lord Muchuan! If it weren't for Lord Muchuan's ingenious strategy, how could we have been so embarrassed!"
"Yes, Lord Muchuan is mighty, and Lord Muchuan is wise and brave!"
"Securing one-fifth of the territory of Goguryeo this time will definitely greatly magnify the power of the Tang Dynasty and demonstrate the strength of our country, haha!"
All the soldiers seemed very happy, drinking wine and laughing happily.
Muchuan was naturally satisfied with this result. In addition to completing the mission of rescuing Prince Li Chengqian when he came to the border this time, he also occupied a lot of Goguryeo's territory. In this way, his status would rise rapidly after returning to the court.
But when he was happy, Muchuan noticed that the Crown Prince Li Chengqian on the side was a little unhappy, and he immediately understood what the Crown Prince was thinking.
This time the troops were sent to attack Goguryeo in the name of the crown prince, which means "to serve the people and help the Li family." After the victory, all the generals praised Muchuan's might and power, but no one praised Li Chengqian, which naturally made Li Chengqian dissatisfied.
Already.
After all, he was the crown prince, the person with the highest status. Even if he did not contribute, he still needed recognition from others. But at Li Chengqian's position, he could not easily say "grabbing credit", so he had to stand aside silently.
After Muchuan noticed the situation, he raised his glass and smiled: "Of course I am not responsible for this war. Without the wise and sage guidance of the Crown Prince, how could we have gone so smoothly!"
After hearing this, the generals were obviously stunned. Is Li Chengqian still responsible for this battle?
How could they not know?
Fortunately, these rough men were not stupid. When Muchuan winked at them and hinted at them, they finally understood what was going on.
"Master Shangshu is right, this time it is mainly due to His Highness the Crown Prince's good command! His Highness the Crown Prince deserves the most credit!"
"If Your Majesty knew His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's extraordinary prowess, he would be greatly pleased!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is both wise and brave, and I believe he will definitely bring happiness to the people in the future!"
The generals each began to speak flatteringly, and their speeches also deeply affected Li Chengqian. He could see him puffing out his chest and raising his nose, like a rooster!
Although I was happy in my heart, as the crown prince, I still need to maintain a humble demeanor, so Li Chengqian waved his hands and said: "Everyone has contributed! Everyone has worked hard! When the teacher returns to the court this time, the prince will definitely explain the reason to his father.
, everyone present will be greatly rewarded!"
"The prince is wise and virtuous, and he is a thousand years old!"
All the generals shouted in unison.
Time flies by, and eight days have passed before you know it.
The sun rises in the east and shines warmly on the residence of the Minister of Hubu in Chang'an City. At this time, nearly ten guards are gathering in an open space in the courtyard of the mansion.
The guards were wearing dark blue robes and had strong muscles. They were waving their fists in the air.
As the captain of the guards, Heishan is leading the guards to train together. This is their daily morning task to exercise their bodies through Professor Muchuan's "anaerobic exercise".
After a few punches, there are a hundred push-ups, a mile of frog jumps, a hundred leg raises, etc.
