I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"Everyone is a supporter of this Goryeo campaign, and it is reasonable to share the benefits. But now there is a problem. Although King Qin has already captured two cities and captured nearly [-] prisoners, if he uses those Veterans of hundreds of battles go to see the captives, it's a bit overkill!"

"At the same time, it's good that there are not many captives at the moment. When there are more and more in the future, wouldn't the 20 people in King Qin's hands not be enough to see captives?"

"So, in order to solve this situation, after King Qin's proposal and my permission, I proposed a solution. Choose a family among you and call a group of retired soldiers to Liaodong to bring those captives back safely and completely. Guanzhong, and then hand it over to those who want it."

"For the other families who didn't go, everyone can pool together the travel expenses, food and grass, and then send a few good people to watch and count!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to move. Li Xiaogong, as a general and also a prince, likes money the most. Hearing such good news, he immediately asked,

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether it's leading the army to support him or gathering food and grass, it's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, I can just go to Liaodong!"

"But what I want to know now is, how will the prisoners brought back be distributed? What price will they pay? Or how will the price be determined in the future?"

Well, as soon as Li Xiaogong's question came out, the meeting was completely distorted. Who still has the mind to study food, grass, ordnance, and all focus on their own interests.

Chapter 477

And just when Li Shimin summoned his group of ministers to "divide the spoils" in full swing in the palace, King Rongliu of Goryeo was also dumbfounded with the military report sent back by Yang Wanchun in the palace of Goryeo.

It's only been a few days for this damn, the two cities are gone?People were also taken as captives?None left?

Why is this Tang Dynasty here?

Why didn't you follow the routine at all?

Even King Rongliu, who was in a daze, asked the ministers around him if he hadn't noticed that Datang had issued some credentials before.

As a result, after checking it several times, the near minister gave a very positive answer, no!

This made King Rongliu a little puzzled. Isn't this Shangguo in the Central Plains a country of etiquette? Isn't it the most respectful of rules? Why do you start fighting without even saying hello?

This made King Rongliu, who had sprayed the belligerent Yang Wanchun useless before, a little bit unbearable!

It turns out that Shangguo of the Central Plains is really going to call!

It turns out that the 20 troops hoarded in Liaodong were really preparing for the attack on Korea!

This makes people a little uncomfortable!

Now that it is time for a bumper harvest, if a large number of young adults are mobilized out, wouldn't this year's harvest be over?

More importantly, as a king, he had no idea what Datang was going to do this time.

If it is really a war of annihilation of the country, then there is nothing to say, and it will definitely be resisted desperately.

But what if Datang just wanted to take advantage or take revenge?

After all, as King Rongliu who admired and understood the Central Plains culture very much, he clearly knew that in the Central Plains culture, sometimes he could do a lot of thankless things for the sake of face.

But what is it for now? If you don’t say hello, it’s a sap. Even two cities have been destroyed. There is no such thing as a letter of credence. What are you planning to do?

It's no wonder that Gao Lirong stayed with the king. As Gao Li, who has been in contact with the Central Plains culture for a long time, they are too aware of the very important face culture in the Central Plains culture.

What about "the master humiliated the subject to death", what "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", what "the majesty of the heavenly kingdom" and so on...

It can be said that Goryeo has studied the culture of the Central Plains thoroughly, so whenever the Central Plains Dynasty rises, they immediately go over to proclaim their sons and call their fathers, and when the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, they quietly go over and secretly occupy a piece land or something.

It is because they know that the civilization of the Central Plains is proud, even conceited, and they don't look down on Goryeo at all. On the contrary, Goryeo covets the fertile land of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that all the Central Plains dynasties have only one goal in their battles against Goryeo, and that is to make Goryeo call him father, and just be honest as a son.

But this time it's completely different. She didn't even ask Gao Li if she would like to call her daddy, and she just started beating her, and it seemed like she was going to be beaten to death?

What is this picture?

It's a pity that it is impossible for Zhang Nuo to come to answer this question for King Rongliu in a foolish manner, and it is even more impossible for Li Shimin!

Of course, if King Rongliu went to Chang'an as a prisoner, he might meet these two people again, but he would have a chance to ask his own questions, and it would depend on whether he survived to that day.

However, even if King Rongliu doesn't know what Datang is going to do, he has already called the door after all, and he still has to deal with it. Bingfeng!

King Rongliu didn't delay any longer, and directly ordered the mobilization of the whole country, and began to mobilize troops to the border. Even except for the one in Pyongyang, the royal city, which was responsible for the security of the royal city, all other troops were mobilized to the border.

After all, no matter how much Goryeo brags, compared to the Central Plains Dynasty, it is still a small country with few people, small land and poor materials. Even if Zhang Nuo just brought a partial teacher, they must fight with the strength of the whole country. After all, their current total population is Only 400 million.

No matter how King Rongliu responds, and no matter how Li Shimin and others discuss the distribution of spoils, at this moment Zhang Nuo is only thinking about how to pull the nail out of Anshicheng.

As long as Anshicheng is taken down, the whole of Koryo will basically have a smooth road. Judging from the current situation, Anshicheng is different from Xincheng and Chifeng that were captured before. This is not a city of the same level at all.

The first is the population. At this time, Anshicheng, as an important town in the north of Korea, has a total of 30 people!

A city occupies almost one-tenth of the entire population of Goryeo, and you can understand what this means when you think about it!

Secondly, as a famous general in Korea, Yang Wanchun is not a soft persimmon. After knowing the chips in Datang's hands, he immediately strengthened the city wall.

Maybe that bit of reinforcement won't have much effect, but as a veteran, Yang Wanchun clearly knows that what makes people panic at this time is to make people move.

Even if the work is useless, or if the effect is negligible, as long as people are moving and tired, they will have no mind to gossip, let alone be afraid.

At the same time, all the young and strong people in Anshi City were mobilized. If they didn't have armor, they would wear a few more thick clothes. If they didn't have weapons, they would take home kitchen knives and hoes.

Yang Wanchun thought very clearly, after all, he still had to fight hand to hand, so as long as he had enough people in his hands and fought hard enough, the outcome would be even more uncertain.

At the same time, as the guard of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun immediately issued an order to clean up all the Datang people in the entire city, and collected all the food, and then the troops would distribute it uniformly.

This is the preparation for persisting in a protracted war with Datang!

But it is a pity that, according to the report of the people under his command, the Datang people's commercial firm that was still operating in the city was emptied long ago, and the goods are still there, but no one can be found.

This is naturally Zhang Nuo's handwriting. Zhang Nuo has arranged it long ago. As long as the war starts, even if he has not received the notice, he will run to Datang immediately, and run to his own army. The goods are useless. It's not like you don't know how low the cost of our family is. If you earn less money, you can double it back later.

As long as people are there, it's easy to talk about anything!

Zhang Nuo's words can be said to have reached the hearts of these shopkeepers.To put it bluntly, they are all ordinary people, even if they have seen the scene of war, they are just civilians watching the battle from the sidelines.

It is already very good to be able to help find out some news, there is no need to involve them in the war!

If the land is lost and people are lost, all people and land are lost; if people are saved and land is lost, all people and land remain.

As long as we uphold such a strategic policy, we can still buy people's hearts and people's desires, and we will naturally be invincible.

Chapter 478 An City Raiders

After leaving a small group of troops to guard the prisoners temporarily, Zhang Nuo led two armies and rushed directly to Anshi City.

For Anshi City, Cheng Yaojin was also deeply moved. This is the place where so many soldiers of the Sui Dynasty buried their bones. Now only ten years later, he has actually seen this city.

But turning his head to look at Zhang Nuo who was sitting on the horse, Cheng Yaojin breathed a rare sigh of relief. Fortunately, if he didn't follow Yang Guang's idiot, this time it won't be the same as before.

Zhang Nuo didn't have time or thought to make fun of Cheng Yaojin at this time, he was frowning and looking at the big city in front of him!

Anshi City is no longer the small city towers of the past. To put it bluntly, even though Zhang Nuo is still using the most primitive cannons, it is still a bit bullying to deal with such a small city wall.

But the city in front of him is undoubtedly a tough enemy!

Judging from the information that came out of the city before, the city wall alone is scary enough. It is a city wall that can really meet two cars, not the kind of thing that can barely stand people before.

The second is that there are hundreds of thousands of troops plus young and strong troops. This is more troops than I currently have. If this is really hard work, it will not be worth it!

You must know that the loss of one's own soldiers will not only make the subsequent conquests weak, and delay the business of earning money, but also have to pay a large sum of pensions.

At the same time, even if several people died together with the other party, it would be a loss. If the other party was caught alive, that would be money.

Therefore, if this is a reckless fight, Zhang Nuo inside and out will be at a loss.

However, Zhang Nuo looked at the mighty city in front of him. Although he couldn't compare it with Chang'an City, which was the number one city in the world, it was still a stubble for now.

How to win this city with as little loss as possible is what Zhang Nuo has to think about.

Zhang Nuo summoned Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin and began to discuss the attack plan for Anshicheng!

The reason why Qin Qiong is not here is that Qin Qiong was sent by Zhang Nuo to another team to fight against Liaodong City. It will take at least half a month to go on this light road. Zhang Nuo intends to bombard here for a few days to see the effect , and then rushed to Liaodong City regardless of success or failure.

Looking at An Shicheng in front of them, Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin actually had a headache.

As veterans who have fought for many years, what they hate most is this kind of siege warfare, because under normal circumstances, this kind of siege warfare can only be done by killing people.

That's right, this is the cruelest reality of siege warfare, and there is no tricky way.

It can even be said that the current Tang Dynasty is already clever enough after being equipped with artillery, at least they don't have to sacrifice their lives to pile up the city wall.

But the rest can't be changed by tools like artillery. Before Zhang Nuo got out the musket, the big killer, war was still an era of cold weapon confrontation.

Then, this kind of face-to-face fighting, the white knife enters the red knife and exits is the most true portrayal.

This is not a fantasy novel, and there is no Long Aotian who can easily win with one enemy ten thousand. Everyone here needs to grit their teeth and move forward, and needs to beware of the knives that will stab at them at any time, and then they have to ruthlessly kill themselves. The knife pierced the enemy's body.

The three of them discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a good solution. At present, it seems that there is only one way to fight hard.

But the three of them had nothing to be upset about. To put it bluntly, as far as they were concerned, with the artillery in hand, they just wanted to reduce the price of victory as much as possible, and it was absolutely impossible for them not to win Anshicheng.

Just when the three of them were about to separate to prepare separately, Cheng Yaojin suddenly muttered jokingly,

"It would be great if that old thief Yang Wanchun could be killed in advance, then the battle would be easy!"

Cheng Yaojin's words were just a joke, perhaps more like an expectation, but Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard it!

Zhang Nuo stopped in his tracks, looked at Cheng Yaojin who was at a loss and didn't know what was wrong, and asked in a deep voice,

"Old Cheng, do you really think that killing Yang Wanchun will make our battle easier?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded his head as a matter of course, and said directly,

"Of course! In this poor place of Koryo, there are only a few people who can lead troops to fight, and even fewer have prestige. I can conclude that if Yang Wanchun, an old thief, dies, Anshi City will be thrown into chaos immediately! "

What Cheng Yaojin said just now was categorical, but at this moment, he approached Zhang Nuo cautiously, and asked in a low voice,

"Your Highness, do you have any secret method here that can curse that old thief Yang Wanchun to death? If so, don't be stingy, kill him directly, then our battle will be more than half easy!"

Zhang Nuo couldn't help but look at Cheng Yaojin with a serious face, mother, if he knows that kind of thing, and still use it so much trouble, he will definitely kill the opponent's chief without even thinking about it, and then the lieutenant will follow along Let's kill them one by one.

He didn't think of anything else, but he thought of himself. No matter how you put it, he was a coward. In the end, he still had to go in and out with people, wouldn't it be too shameless?

Now that the artillery has been produced, it should be fine to exchange it for a gun.

Didn't Zhang Nuo think about exchanging tens of thousands of AKs before, and then get out boxes of bullets, and finally lead people to massacre, one army wiped out a country or something.

But that's just YY after all!

The system did not prevent this kind of direct exchange for weapons that far exceeded this era, but the price would be extremely expensive, so expensive that even Zhang Nuo, a big dog, would feel pain.

That is no longer throwing money at people, it is simply throwing gold at people.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Nuo slowly cultivated talents, honestly using the most primitive cannons.

But judging from the current situation, although he cannot afford or use thousands of AKs, a sniper rifle with some bullets is still possible.

Although the price of exchanging for a sniper rifle at this time is also frighteningly high, if he can kill Yang Wanchun with one shot and reduce the difficulty of the subsequent siege by several levels, then he is still willing to shed some blood.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo didn't bother to explain to Cheng Yaojin and the others. These bastards know the shitty sniper rifles and the shitty sniper tactics. It's useless to tell them. It's better to be prepared. When the time comes Just treat them as tool people and arrange them.

Zhang Nuo directly called Xingben, who had been waiting by the side, and told him to call over the shopkeeper of the firm who was originally in Anshicheng. He had to find out what Yang Wanchun looked like. If he got the wrong person, it would be a joke at that time. up.

Chapter 479 The End of Yang Wanchun

The shopkeeper of the Anshi City Commercial Bank is also surnamed Fang, and is a relative called by Lao Fang from his hometown.

After the old Fang successfully approached Zhang Nuo, things went smoothly a lot, because he cheated his family back then, and received relief from his family in recent years, so after obtaining Zhang Nuo's consent, the old Fang sent several letters to his hometown. The letter means that if you want to make a living with His Highness King Qin, you can come to a few.

Lao Fang’s letter made it very clear that anyone who wanted to do business would have to be sent abroad for a few years to gain qualifications and see the world, but if he wanted to be an official, he could only guarantee that the other party was qualified to take the exam. He didn't care whether he passed the exam or not, and he didn't have the guts to ask Zhang Nuo directly for an official.

Just such a letter almost caused the gang of relatives in Lao Fang's hometown to fight.After all, with the development of newspapers, the name of Zhang Nuo's King Qin has spread more and more widely.

We all know that the King of Qin today is completely different from when His Majesty was King of Qin before. Not only is it a matter of different surnames being named kings, but more importantly, the King of Qin in the past was a leader in government and military affairs, and he was an indispensable leader in the court.

But the current King Qin seems to be more concerned about how to make money. The title of the Living God of Wealth is not for nothing. On the contrary, he has no interest in government affairs. Do not go to court.

Even if he entered the palace occasionally, he would just go straight to Li Shimin in a careless manner, and he didn't have that awareness at all.

Having said that, Lao Fang, who was called by Xingben, was personally arranged by Lao Fang to go to Korea before. As the internal steward of Prince Qin's mansion, Lao Fang can be said to have a high position and authority, but he is very aware of his abilities, so he has been walking on thin ice. Work hard, even if you arrange for a relative of your own family, you have to confirm with Zhang Nuo repeatedly.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo arranged for this old Fang to go to Korea after meeting him and nodding his head.

As soon as Lao Fang came in, he hurriedly saluted,

"Old Fang has seen the master's house!"

This is the difference between family members. If it is Cheng Yaojin and others, they can only be called His Highness or Prince, or they can be called "brother" if they are more intimate.

But Lao Fang was different, he belonged to Zhang Nuo's house, they never called princes, and they didn't need to care whether Zhang Nuo was a prince, they sold themselves to Zhang Nuo, so they were called masters.

Zhang Nuo was naturally very casual with the people in his house, and said directly,
