As for Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie, as well as Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, they still need to stay in Pyongyang City and continue to lead their troops to attack the cities of Goguryeo. They cannot go back for the time being.
In fact, it is not considered an attack.
As early as these three days, Yuan Gaisuwen and Gao Jianwu, under the supervision of Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie, wrote countless letters of credence persuading surrender.
Goguryeo had already been defeated by the Tang Dynasty. All Goguryeo cities, Lasa, nearby branches, Dao envoys, Shenzhenzuo, Fengan, Damoda, and the last guest had to surrender to the Tang army.
In addition, more than half of the soldiers and generals from various cities in Goguryeo were lost outside Pyongyang City.
Therefore, as long as Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and others, with the credentials written by Gao Jianwu, Yuan Gaisuwen and others, lead a large army to those cities, more than half of the chief officials of those cities will obediently come out to offer sacrifices. The city surrendered.
As for those who don't throw it, a round of arrows and bombs will be thrown up, and the city gate will be blown open directly.
The newly recruited soldiers will be scared to death.
Anyway, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and others had a smooth journey in Goguryeo.
On the other side, after several days of sailing, Li Xuan and others also returned to Qingzhou.
After getting off the giant ship, we rested one night at Qingzhou Villa.
Afterwards, he took the carriage directly and ran to Chang'an.
When I left, it was still a cold spring in the Tang Dynasty.
Now, when I come back, the pedestrians have already put on thin clothes.
As soon as we saw it, we saw a green patch of green, and everyone felt much better.
Returning is like an arrow.
It only took eight days.
Chang'an City is already in sight.
"Your Majesty, should we go to see His Majesty first, or should we go back to Lijiazhuang?"
After the motorcade arrived at the familiar fork in the road, Zheng Fu ordered the car to stop and asked Li Xuan cautiously.
"Go back to Lijiazhuang!"
Li Xuan said without thinking.
"Your Majesty, as the general manager of the army, you come down from the battlefield as usual and need to enter the palace to see His Majesty. There are also two people, Gao Jianwu and Yeon Gaesumun. As the king of Goguryeo and Da Dulu, your status is extraordinary, and What should I do?”
Zheng Fu's expression changed and he said quickly.
"Go and report to His Majesty that it is getting late today. The King will go to see His Majesty tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Xuan frowned and thought for a while, then subconsciously sighed, "As for Gao Jianwu and Yuan Gaisuwen, I will take them back to Lijiazhuang first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Fu clasped his fists in response, stood up, gave instructions to his left and right lieutenants, and then clapped his horse and headed for Chang'an City.
Li Xuan's motorcade, on the other hand, started directly again and headed towards Lijiazhuang.
A quarter of an hour later.
The guards of Prince Jin who were really standing at the gate of Lijiazhuang seemed to have discovered something. They tensed up and quickly clenched their weapons and looked into the distance.
When they saw the guards on the left and right sides of the approaching convoy, they were suddenly startled, with disbelief on their faces.
Then, his face was full of surprises.
One person turned around and ran into Lijiazhuang.
While running, he shouted, "The king is back!"
"The king has returned to the village..."
In an instant, the entire Lijiazhuang became lively again.
Butler Li Chang walked out of the door quickly, looked at the guard with some surprise, and asked in a trembling voice: "Xiao Sanlin, can you see clearly that the king is really back?"
"Reporting to the steward, I see that it is indeed true that the guards beside the approaching motorcade are the same brothers who accompanied the king to Goguryeo!"
Li Lin quickly handed over his hand and reported the report.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang turned around and ran into the house.
In less than a moment, the pregnant Cui Mi, Zi Yun, a little girl in his arms, and Li Chenglu, surrounded by maids, walked quickly outside the hospital.
As soon as they left the hospital, they saw a motorcade, escorted by a group of familiar figures, heading towards them.
"Mi'er, this king is back!"
When Li Xuan got out of the carriage, Cui Mi and Zi Yun couldn't help but blush.
"It will be good if Sanlang comes back, it will be good if he comes back..."
Although they had not seen each other for only two months, in the eyes of Cui Mi and Zi Yun, it seemed that two years had passed.
"Steward, there are two prisoners in the car. One is the King of Goguryeo and the other is the Prime Minister of Goguryeo. We have sent people to keep a close eye on these two people to prevent them from causing trouble.
But there is no need to treat these two people harshly, let them taste the delicious food and wine in this king's village.
The food they eat in Goguryeo is just like pig food, and even the pigs in my Lijiazhuang don't eat food..."
After giving the instructions, Li Xuan took Cui Mi, Zi Yun and the others and walked into the house.
Li Chang was left with a shocked look on his face!
Your Majesty, you have only been out for two months and you have captured a king and a prime minister?
Moreover, bring it directly back to the village?
How do you want His Majesty to view it? How do the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty view it?
However, after being stunned for a long time, he still had no choice but to arrange a group of personal guards, bring Yuan Gaisuwen and Gao Jianwu down, and then arrange a set of dragons.
Take him to eat and drink first.
Then, take them around Lijiazhuang to let the two hozens have a deep understanding of how shallow and ignorant they are?
The result is naturally very satisfying!
…
at the same time.
Chang'an City, inside Liangyi Hall.
Li Shimin was sitting on the sofa, discussing the affairs of Goguryeo with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and other close ministers.
But suddenly I heard Li Wei's report that Zheng Fu, the commander of the Jin Dynasty's personal guards, asked for an audience outside the palace.
"Didn't Zheng Fu go to Goguryeo with Xuan Ba?"
After Li Shimin was surprised for a moment, he quickly said: "Hurry up and announce it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Wei hurriedly raised his hands in response and walked out.
In the hall, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others also looked surprised.
"Why did Prince Jin's personal guards come outside the palace?"
"Before, there was no report at all..."
Several people couldn't help but slowly pick up their teacups, drinking tea while frowning and thinking.
"The last general Zheng Fu is here to see your Majesty!"
While Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were thinking, Li Wei had already walked in with Zheng Fu.
Seeing Zheng Fu, Li Shimin also stopped making random guesses, nodded lightly, and asked directly.
"Zheng Fu, why do you come here alone to see me? I remember that you followed Xuanba to Goguryeo. This time Xuanba sent you back, but what big thing happened?"
As he said this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but look solemnly, staring at Zheng Fu closely.
Is it possible that Xuanba is really in trouble?
Otherwise, why would Zheng Fu be sent back alone?
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Zheng Fu's eyes, and he looked at Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji who were standing aside.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but be startled, and then quickly stood up and saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I will take my leave first!"
"Your Majesty, I retire!"
"Um!"
Li Shimin nodded lightly.
Soon, only Li Shimin and Li Wei were left in the hall.
Seeing this, Li Shimin looked at Zheng Fu again.
Zheng Fu took a breath and saluted Li Shimin again.
"Your Majesty, not only is the general back, but the king is also back!"
"Uh-huh?"
Li Shimin was startled and even stood up directly, staring at Zheng Fu with a surprised look on his face.
"Xuanba is back?"
"Exactly!"
Zheng Fu hurriedly replied.
"Where is Xuanba? Why didn't you come to the palace to see me?..."
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of something, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, as well as a hint of helplessness.
