Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The next day.

A meeting of hundreds of officials.

Li Shimin announced to all officials that he had conquered Silla from Baekje and massacred Silla civilians and officials.

"A treacherous country like Baekje should be destroyed!"

"Silla is a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. Baekje is simply shitting on our heads!"

"Your Majesty, please let the Crown Prince take care of Baekje as well!"

Before Li Shimin could announce the outcome of the incident, these civil and military officials could not hold back any longer.

For a moment, the sound of condemnation filled the entire Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin immediately announced: "From today on, we will officially declare war on Baekje!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Civil and military officials all shouted loudly.

Five days later.

The imperial edict of Li Shimin declaring war on Baekje was also delivered to Li Chengqian by a messenger who rushed it over 800 miles.

"Du He, father has agreed that we should attack Baekje together!"

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this is not something that is expected?"

"Hou Junji has already cleared all the cities in the north. Now he should be joining forces with Li Ji and preparing to attack Pyongyang from the south!"

Just three days ago, Hou Junji sent someone to deliver a battle report. He had led his troops to capture more than ten cities including Heshenggu City, Zuben City, Ganwu City and Momi City.

Now there are only more than 30 cities left in the Goguryeo peninsula.

Moreover, because of the insufficient number of soldiers, Yeon Gaesomun did not send the 10 troops in Pyongyang to defend other cities.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Du He, since all the Goguryeo enemy troops in Liaodong have been wiped out, why don't we go to Wugut City now?"

"If Li Ji and Hou Junji are blocked from attacking Pyongyang, we can quickly lead our troops to support them."

"Otherwise, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai would stay by my side and would not be able to perform meritorious deeds."

The attack on Pyongyang City was the greatest achievement of this battle, and Yeon Gaesomun was the general who controlled dozens of cities.

Li Chengqian naturally hoped that his trusted generals Xue Rengui and Xi Jun would buy such a great military achievement.

In addition to the issue of meritorious service for his trusted and beloved generals, Li Chengqian had visited all the mountains and hills surrounding Anshi City, and he wanted to go to another place to visit.

Du He clasped his fists and said, "As you command!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He who was pretending to be serious, and then raised his middle finger at him.

Uh~

Looking at this gesture full of contempt, Du He's expression paused.

Li Chengqian is a guy who learns very quickly.

Two days later.

Li Chengqian, Du He and others came to Wugut City.

The soldiers guarding the city told them that Li Ji and Hou Junji had led a large army south yesterday, preparing to attack Pyongyang.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Li Chengqian called Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai over.

"Rengui, Junmai, the army is now attacking Pyongyang City, you should go over and help."

"Try to capture Yeon Gaesomun's head and come back with the first achievement!"

After hearing Li Chengqian's arrangement, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai hesitated.

Xi Junmai whispered, "Your Highness, if we all leave at the same time, what will happen to your safety and that of Prince Consort Du?"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "There are more than 200 black armor soldiers and 4000 infantrymen protecting us, and Li Ji has also left 1000 garrisons in Wugut City. You don't have to worry about my and Du He's safety."

"If you help the army capture Pyongyang as soon as possible, we can also return to Chang'an to receive the reward."

They fought for so long and risked their lives just for the final reward.

Thinking of being conferred titles and appointed as generals, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai also showed anticipation.

Du He also smiled and said: "Attacking Pyongyang City is a great achievement. If you can cut off Yeon Gaesomun's head, I'm afraid your title can be promoted to a higher level based on your current military achievements."

"There is no time to lose. You should leave as soon as possible."

Letting these two super warriors go to Pyongyang City to perform meritorious services was the result of a discussion between Li Chengqian and Du He on the road.

Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai hurriedly bowed to Li Chengqian and spoke excitedly.

"As ordered!"

They bowed and strode out of the hall.

It is very difficult to obtain a title, and it is even more difficult for a civilian general to be conferred a title.

Now that the Crown Prince and Prince Consort Du have given them the opportunity to make merit, they must cherish it.

Not long after, Qin Huaidao walked in with a depressed look on his face. He clasped his fists towards Li Chengqian and said.

"Your Highness, I also want to attack Pyongyang."

Since the attack on Goguryeo, Li Chengqian did not let Qin Huaidao take part in dangerous battles because he was still young.

But for Qin Huaidao, who was anxious to restore the glory of Duke Hu's Mansion, he couldn't wait to make more contributions.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Huai Dao, attacking Pyongyang is very dangerous, you should stay with me."

Qin Huaidao said quickly: "Your Highness, as a soldier, you should gallop on the battlefield. How can you be afraid of danger?"

"Besides, I have not made many achievements so far, so I hope Your Highness will help me."

Apart from the big fish he picked up by chance, Gao Huizhen of Noosa 6?8, he only killed more than 40 enemies in the other battles.

This achievement is far inferior to that of Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai.

Li Chengqian turned to look at Du He, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Du He, what do you think?"

Du He smiled and said, "Huai Dao is willing to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so let him go."

A victorious general needs to grow step by step from dangerous battlefields. If he always hides in a safe environment, he will not be able to make much progress.

Seeing Du He say this, Li Chengqian nodded in agreement and said, "I agree!"

"Great!" Qin Huaidao jumped up excitedly. He quickly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and Prince Consort Du for your trust. I will definitely take down Yeon Gaesomun's head!"

"General, please retire first!"

After completing the ceremony, Qin Huaidao ran out in a hurry.

Now Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai were still packing their bags, so he had to hurry up and catch up.

Seeing Qin Huaidao's reckless look, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, then spoke with interest.

"Du He, do you think Huai Dao can catch the big fish Yeon Gaesomun?"

"Disaster."

Du He answered without hesitation.

Qin Huaidao said that this kid was lucky to have picked up the big fish Gao Huizhen. How could he be so lucky every time?

Besides, with Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and Su Dingfang being the first to arrive, it would not be Qin Huaidao's turn.

Unless he is the son of destiny!

Li Chengqian looked at the empty hall and felt bored, so he winked at Du He and said.

"Duhe, there is a big river a hundred miles east of Wugut City. It was called Mazi River in ancient times, but now it is renamed Yalu River."

"The river is more than half a mile wide, and the water is clear. Why don't we go for a stroll tomorrow?"

The war doesn't require them to command and dispatch things now. Instead of drinking tea and chatting here, they might as well take the opportunity to go out for a walk and relax.

Du He nodded and said, "Okay."

All enemies within hundreds of miles of Wugut City have been wiped out, and there are still thousands of soldiers protecting it, so there is no danger in going out for a walk.
