Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Yang Hongwu and Dai Zhide, servants of West Taiwan, Li Anqi, a doctor of Zhengjian and a servant of Dongtai, Zhang Wenguan of Dongtai, Chang Bo of Si Lie and Zhao Renben, a doctor of Zhengjian. Official name modified by Li Zhi).Zhang Wenguan, a member of the Dongtai family, was reused and immediately remonstrated, accusing Li Zhi of building Penglai, Shangyang, Hebi and other palaces, frequently conquering Siyi, tens of thousands of stables and horses, and gradually empty warehouses. Does Your Majesty know who can do this? This is something that only Emperor Sui Yang could do! Li Zhi was really scared. Li Shimin kept correcting his behavior because he was wary of becoming Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. How did the minister see the clues of Yang Guang when he came to him?Li Zhi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately subtracted thousands of horses from the tens of thousands of horses used for military use.Li Zhi is a master at employing people. Although he can't tell the difference between loyalty and villainy, he must give enough opportunities to talented people, especially those ministers who go from general to prime minister.This is also the main reason for the rapid expansion of Datang during the Second Saint period.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi is a sick embryo. His condition fluctuated from good to bad, and now he was dizzy and dizzy. He persisted until September, and felt uncomfortable all over his body, so he lay on the bed and couldn't get sick.That is to say, his action to strive for Mingjun will be temporarily shelved.In order for Prince Li Hong to learn how to be emperor as soon as possible, Li Zhi asked him to assist him in supervising the country. Li Hong has just turned fifteen years old, and he doesn't know enough about some things. Simply put, the upbringing he received was castrated.Compared with his grandfather Li Shimin, he lacks actual combat experience, experience of starvation, beating, and political struggle; compared with his father Li Zhi, what he lacks is the knowledge of the dark side of the world.

Li Hong has always believed that this world should be beautiful, at the very least, people's hearts should not be reduced to the situation of killing brothers and fathers. Li Hong learned "Zuo Zhuan" from Guo Yu, a great scholar, and read the story of Mi Shangchen (Mi Shangchen is the name) who killed the king. He concealed his scroll and sighed: "No courtier can bear to hear about this! The sages used it to teach future generations, so how could they still record these things?" Mr. Guo was surprised by Li Hong's question, he didn't expect that Empress Wu would not teach him any political skills.Teacher Guo then explained, "Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" to praise and criticize good and evil. The good ones are praised, and the bad ones are condemned. No matter the history is good or bad, he records it truthfully, so that people can be afraid. Thousands of years later, people talk about This matter will also make some sense!"

Li Hong was a little sad, "Teacher, I'm not saying that I don't want these things to spread, I just can't bear to understand these things. Let me read some other books!" Teacher Guo was very moved by Li Hong's words. How would a child like this who can't bear it be diligent and love the people when he becomes the emperor? He paid homage to the prince and said: "'Li is famous for winning the mother, Zengzi can't enter; the city is Chaoge, and Mozi returns to the car'. Your Highness is smart and wise. If you can't bear to hear stories of cruelty and innocence, then learn the classics of governing the world and recuperating. Let’s go.” Teacher Guo brought a copy of the Book of Rites and continued, “If you don’t understand etiquette, you won’t have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Confucius also said, ‘If you don’t learn the rituals, you can’t stand up.’ Let’s study the Book of Rites in the future.” !"

Li Hong started his study. In the "Book of Rites", there is a sentence that tells us that if there is a lack of discussion among students in learning, it will lead to short-sightedness.This sentence is: "Learning alone without friends is lonely and ignorant." Therefore, Guo Yu is not the only teacher of Li Hong. Xu Jingzong, Xu Yushi, Shangguanyi, and Yang Sijian have all been his teachers.Later, Li Zhi recognized Yan Hui as the Prince's Shaoshi and Zeng Shen as the Prince's Shaobao.It can be seen that Li Hong is very humble and eager to learn, and he is willing to admit that Yan Hui, who is so poor that only culture is left, and Zeng Shen, who is so stupid that only Zeng Shen is left as a teacher. This is enough to prove that he, like his father Li Zhi, is diligent, thrifty, diligent in government and loves the people.

On the Goryeo battlefield, the battle was going on intensely. British Duke Li Ji appeared before Xincheng (north of Fushun, Liaoning), which was an important city to enter Korea. After Li Ji bombarded it with boulders for a while, the owner of Xincheng was tied up by his own people and came out holding a white flag to surrender.Li Ji deployed his guards, and then made a surprise attack in four directions, capturing sixteen cities in one go.Li Ji's main troops were moving around, while those stationed near Xincheng were the troops of Pang Tongshan and Gao Kan. According to Yuan Nanjian's analysis, it is definitely not possible to beat Li Ji. If you want to fight, you can only use these two brothers.On this day, he touched the backs of Pang Tongshan and Gao Kan.

Pang Tongshan and Gao Kan would never have imagined that Yuan Nanjian would lead a large group of troops to make a surprise attack from behind, which really caught people off guard.When they touched the vicinity of the camp, the Korean army launched an attack on the Tang army.After a while, the battle is over.People will never forget this cruel massacre in this lifetime, yes, it was too cruel! The scene of Yuan Nanjian leading the army to escape left a deep impression on Tang Bing. Here's the thing: Gao Kan counterattacked and fought several rounds with the Koryo army, but because of too few men, he couldn't fight at all, and was driven back by the Koryo army.

The soldiers of Gaoli fought more and more bravely, chasing Gao Kan like yellow sheep, but at this moment, Xue Rengui, who was hidden on the flank, was standing still, staring at the defeated Gao Kan with wolf-like eyes.Behind Gao Kan's army, there is billowing dust and smoke, that is the craziest vanguard of Goryeo.They sailed like the wind, like the thunder, rushing forward with the ferocity of trampling an elephant to death. They completely disregarded the safety of the flanks, and Gao Kan's feigned landing had gone to their heads. Go ahead, Xue Rengui! The elite of the Tang Dynasty dashed over from the flank, and the killing sound shook the sky and overwhelmed the Goryeo army, and those who were busy chasing Gao Kan were suddenly dumbfounded.Xue Rengui took the lead and was invincible, forcibly cutting the Koryo army across the mountain into two pieces.The Koryo army, who could not hear the news before and after, was in disarray. Seeing Xue Rengui killed a lot, they began to flee one after another.Under the command of Xue Rengui, several thousand elites of the Tang army beheaded 5,000 ranks.The Gaoli army fled away, Xue Rengui took the opportunity to pursue fiercely, regained the three nearby cities of Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan, and joined the Yuan boys.

For Baekje, the coach Guo Daifeng, who was driving from Baekje to Pyongyang, sent an inexplicable battle report.After Li Ji saw it, he immediately became angry and wanted to kill Guo Daifeng, that bastard. Guo Daifeng was wronged. He wrote to Li Ji because the food shipped by sea was delayed.Li Ji only knew half of this matter. He had indeed sent Feng Shiben to transport grain, but he didn't know that the big ship broke down halfway and the grain was gone.Guo Daifeng couldn't be in a hurry, so he wrote a distress letter to Li Ji to save these Tang soldiers who were waiting to be fed.The content of the letter is very nasty, and the specifics are roughly like this:

Mu Xiulin Zhongying, Some people are cutting every month. Smoke rises before dinner, The bird returns to its old home. ——Year, month, and day, love your little Daifeng. Guo Daifeng...you actually write poems for yourself under such circumstances, you really want to die! Li Ji was furious. He said that after the war, he would kill this ignorant guy first.In fact, Guo Daifeng is a very smart person. The reason why he wrote poems was not because he was bored for a while and needed to vent his emotions, but because he was afraid of being intercepted by Yuan Nanjian's soldiers on the way.If it was really seen through at a glance, wouldn't the Baekje front army, which was dizzy from hunger, just wait and be hacked?Therefore, Comrade Guo Daifeng wrote a poem similar to this one. When the first few words of the poem are connected, it is——

There is no fan bird! Comrade Guo Daifeng did not embarrass his father Guo Xiaoke. In addition to Kong Wuli, he also learned cultural knowledge and compose poems in keeping with the fashion.The love poems he wrote to Li Ji are not just Tibetan acrostics, but an upgraded version of Tibetan acrostics—according poems.What is a clutch? According to legend, a long time ago, an old man Wang from a certain village was very dissatisfied with Zhu Xiucai, a challenging character in the village, so he visited him.The scholar deliberately made things difficult for the old man, and recited the first couplet: "Old man Wang is all rustic!" Old man Wang immediately replied: "Mr. Zhu is half a cow." The upper and lower couplets have the shadow of acrostic poetry.However, the most illustrative story did not happen to Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhu. There was a scholar who was extremely poor.Because he had no money, his eyes were so hungry that he couldn't starve to death, so he lay down by the spring and drank water to relieve the pressure on his stomach.An old scholar passed by and asked strangely: "If you don't have food and drink springs, how can you live with white water?" Hearing this, the scholar was shocked, knowing that the old scholar had profound skills, but he replied without showing any weakness: "The door of talent is blocked, and there is nowhere to escape!" If you understand it, keep reading, if you don't understand it, tear up this page to vent your hatred.In short, what I want to say is, clutch body, glorious body!This is a separate cipher text, which is an extremely advanced code of military intelligence, which can only be understood by talented people, and only generals like gods can understand it. Li Ji scolded angrily: "Understood a fart!" Fortunately, Yuan Wanqing, the secretary in the army (who is a general manager), is also talented. Mr. Yuan took the letter, studied it, and immediately understood the mystery.Mr. Yuan said: "The combination of words and writing in this poem tells us that the food for the Baekje Front Army has not arrived for a long time, and it has not been solved." Li Ji was enlightened, first reviewed his mistakes, and then praised Yuan Wanqing.Li Ji looked at him approvingly, and said, "It's true that people can't be judged by appearances, and sea water can't be scooped up. This time, you will write the campaign against Goryeo!" Mr. Yuan was overjoyed, and wrote the "Call to Korea" with a brush. Mr. Yuan's essay is so well written that people can't calm down for a long time after reading it.Everyone finally understood what they were lacking. It was Mr. Yuan's persistent pursuit of truth and the sense of solidity produced by the landlord's arduous practice of ideals.Facing Mr. Yuan's article, everyone was so shocked that they hardly dared to move!Both the Tang Dynasty and the Goryeo side made a very high evaluation of this article, and everyone praised it. However, in the seemingly brilliant text, there are unexpected fatal mistakes. The reason why Yuan Nanjian was able to carry forward the spirit of international humanitarianism to praise Yuan Wanqing was not because he had a heart of love for talents, but because the "Gao Li Wen" was wonderful throughout, but ignored a basic common sense. This common sense is that you can't disclose Tang Jun's next deployment. Mr. Yuan, a talented and well-educated Sheren, actually made such a low-level mistake.There is a sentence in the article that is very wonderful: "Tubu people are outside the fortress, but they don't know the danger of guarding ducks and greens." Mr. Yuan selflessly revealed the natural danger of the Yalu River that Tang Jun feared most. This kind of spirit really made the enemy happy. After reading it, Yuan Nan was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I just obey (I want to hear my order)!" So he immediately moved troops to occupy the fortress, guard the Yalu River pass, and intercept the only place where the Tang army can cross.Li Ji was blown away by Yuan Wanqing, he pointed at Yuan Wanqing, speechless for a long time.The army was blocked here, so they could only report to Li Zhi first. After Li Zhi learned about it, he was too angry to speak for a long time. The civil and military Qi Qi of the Manchu Dynasty said: "Old Yuan, you are a talent!" Li Zhi believed that because he was quick to speak and leaked the military situation to the enemy, which forced the battle plan to be seriously frustrated, he didn't have to do it as a generalist, and he was exiled to Lingnan directly, and went to the grassroots to exercise. This story tells us that sometimes people are eager to show off their talents in order to show off their other abilities, and often expose their fatal flaws to the enemy.After Yuan Wanqing's story happened, Tang Jun suddenly changed from active to passive.The battle plan was disrupted, and tens of thousands of troops were blocked outside the Yalu River.The battle continued north of the Yalu River. Among all the generals, there was one who was very unique. His name is Hao Chujun, a maverick.
