Chapter 2968 It's not impossible to say that Cheng Saburo is the leader of talents
Outside Liaodong City, military camps stood on the vast wilderness outside the city. Almost 100,000 prisoners of war were imprisoned here.
Three full days have passed since the end of the war. Most people have gotten rid of the post-war hardship and fatigue and have regained their energy and fighting spirit.
Including Cheng Sanlang, he was already full of energy at this moment. At this moment, he was idle, so he used the excuse of hunting game teeth for His Majesty.
Cheng Sanlang had already led several guards and Xue Rengui and other sharpshooters into the old forests of the northeast, preparing to hunt some plump game.
Even if you have just survived the winter, it doesn't matter if it is not very fat. If it is thinner, you can use it to stew soup, if it is too fat, use it to stir-fry. In short, under Cheng Sanlang's cooking method that is beyond ordinary people, it will definitely be delicious.
Make the best use of everything.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang leading a group of imperial guards and riding away laughing, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty standing on the top of Liaodong City shook his head in confusion.
Turning his head, he saw that Li Jing's expression beside him was also quite complicated. When he thought about leading his army to the vicinity of the unknown town,
Both the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the Goguryeo soldiers and horses were all exhausted physically and mentally and looked like they were dying. Only Cheng Sanlang led the five hundred musketeers under him in a spirited and vigorous posture.
At that moment, Li Shimin wanted to laugh out loud. Fortunately, as a qualified emperor, Li Shimin finally controlled his emotions.
Afterwards, after a hasty surrender ceremony, the deafening snoring sounded once again inside and outside the city.
Only then did Li Shimin understand how powerful Cheng Sanlang's double-edged sword was, which could hurt both people and himself.
No wonder when they entered the city, Wu Ben of the Tang Dynasty looked at Cheng Sanlang with awe and admiration.
In short, whenever the boy Cheng Sanlang is mentioned, the expressions of the entire Tang army are very complicated. As for the surrendered Goguryeo soldiers and horses, when it comes to Cheng Sanlang, it can be said that they are both hated and afraid.

"Li Laoqing's house, can I take a walk?"
"Your Majesty, please..." Li Jing nodded, followed Li Shimin's footsteps respectfully, and walked up to the broad head of Liaodong City.
"After this battle, Goguryeo has been defeated in several battles and suffered heavy losses. Goguryeo Yuan Gaisuwen gave a strict order to all Goguryeo soldiers and horses.
You are no longer allowed to fight in the field with us in the Tang Dynasty. We all enter the relevant cities and prepare to defend them to death."
After hearing His Majesty's words in a relaxed tone, after getting enough sleep, he felt much more energetic and his mind became more flexible. The Military God of the Tang Dynasty nodded and agreed.
"This may be Goguryeo's last resort. In this way, we, the Tang Dynasty, can arrange the march calmly."
"What I say makes sense, but in my opinion, with the continuous victory of the war, Goguryeo's defeat is only a matter of time."
"But now, our army should slow down its advance and not advance too hastily."
"Why did your Majesty say this?" Li Jing was slightly stunned and looked at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who had spent half his life in the military and was also very clever in military strategy.
"Conquering a city and a land is not difficult for us in the Tang Dynasty. However, how to bring Goguryeo under the rule of the Tang Dynasty so that the people on this land can live and work in peace and contentment is the biggest test for us."
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Jing bowed respectfully to Li Shimin with a sincere expression on his face.
"Your Majesty's foresight and foresight are a blessing to all people in the world. The old minister is dull and thinks he is not inferior to others when it comes to military strategy.
But when it comes to how to maintain long-term peace and stability in the local area, it is not as good as the Central Palace and the Second Prime Minister of the Horse, let alone the First and Second Majesty."
Li Shimin's eyes relaxed after hearing this, he raised his hand and nodded towards Li Jingxu, and continued to walk forward slowly with his hands behind his back.
"These are all things for later. After resting here for a few more days, the whole army will go south and, together with Zhang Qing's family, capture all the fortified cities of Na'an, Jian'an, Wugu, Jili, and Dahang.
Only in this way can the Wugu River and Liao River areas be able to put an end to the chaos of war and help restore people's livelihood as soon as possible."
"What your Majesty said is true. If we want to manage this land next, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources."
Li Shimin also nodded in agreement, patted the solid female wall at the head of Liaocheng City, and couldn't help sighing with emotion.
"When I pacify Goguryeo, Baekje will not have to worry about it. These two countries will be determined, and there will be no major troubles around the Tang Dynasty."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. After this battle, old men like me should also take off their armor and return to their fields...
We in the Tang Dynasty have many young famous generals, so we don’t have to worry about not having anyone to follow."
As soon as these words came out, the first young face in Li Shimin's mind was Cheng Sanlang. He quickly shook his head and asked Li Jing.
"Oh? In your opinion, among the younger generation of our Tang Dynasty, are there any talents that can be put to great use?"
Li Jing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and saluted Li Shimin, then looked at the vast wilderness road.
"Since Your Majesty intends to compete, then the old minister will make a fool of himself..."

Zhao Kun, who was standing not far behind these two men, listened to the familiar names popping up from Li Jing's mouth, including Fang Jun, Fang Erlang, who abandoned literature and turned to martial arts.
There is also Ren Yaxiang, who is holding the Plateau Three Kingdoms in silence on the plateau Jinsha State. Of course, there are also many veteran scoundrels like Su Dingfang who were famous at a young age and are still young and powerful.
There is also Pei Xingjian, who is both civil and military, and has made great achievements in the Liao campaign. Of course, a powerful general like Qibi Heli is also indispensable...
"...And Xue Rengui, who was called impermanent in white by these Goguryeo soldiers and generals, is also a piece of rough jade. With a little polish, it will become a great weapon..."
However, after listening for a long time, Zhao Kun never heard the name he wanted to hear most.
Not only Zhao Kun, but also Li Shimin couldn't help but feel curious.
"Old Aiqing, why is there no name like Cheng Sanlang? Could it be that in Lao Aiqing's eyes, that boy is not a famous general?"
"..." When Li Jing heard the name of this little bastard who had kept him awake for three days and three nights, his face turned dark and he grinded his teeth for a long time before saying.
"The reason why I left Cheng Sanlang last is because... I don't know how to describe this kid."
"But Lao Chen also believes that as long as you give him a chance, his achievements will always exceed your expectations."
"Perhaps, only Your Majesty is qualified to judge this son."
After hearing this, Zhao Kun almost let out a sigh.
You are obviously unhappy with Cheng Sanlang's troubles. You feel that Cheng Sanlang is disgusting and unwilling to praise that boy.
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyelids also jumped wildly. If you say that Cheng Sanlang is the leader among talents, it is not impossible.
But if you want to say that that guy is just a demonic moth that causes headaches and headaches, or a double-edged sword that hurts both people and yourself, you're right.
