"Willing to dispose of it" Li Yuan's face twitched slightly, and he spit out four words with a look of humiliation.
There is a saying called "stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood", although he is unwilling in every way, although he is ashamed in his heart, but saving the lives of himself and his two sons is the top priority, so Li Yuan chose to bow his head.
It is true that he was martyred for his country, but if he refuses to accept the baptism of shame, how can he get back the result of lying on his salary and tasting courage Since Li Yuan no longer struggled uselessly, Li Jing ordered Xu Sheng to raise a batch of carriages, to load Li Yuan, all the concubines and the captured civil and military ministers, transport them back to Qingzhou, and then send people to escort them to Jinling and hand them over to the Son of Heaven for disposal.
Although it is only two or three hundred miles from Wang Jiancheng to Donglai County across the sea, it cannot be held across the vast sea.
If the domestic battlefield has been pacified, and Li Jing's cross-sea attack force exceeds 100,000 people, Li Jing will definitely choose to continue to attack the city and plunder the land to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty.
But now the Central Plains is still full of wolf smoke, and it is obviously not a wise move to go overseas again.
The purpose of Li Jing's blitzkrieg this time was to take advantage of the weakness to enter the Tang capital and successfully capture the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and now it can end perfectly.
If you can't see the situation clearly and continue to stay in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, after Li Ji and Wanyan Jin's army return to help, you will only bury the current results "Mulan, you take 5,000 people to surround the Tang Palace and the Imperial Palace, and all the concubines and palace maids are escorted to the car and transported back to Qingzhou."
After Xu Sheng left, Li Jing handed over the task of capturing Li Tang's woman to Mulan.
As a woman, this task is most suitable for Mulan to perform.
Mulan gave up her hand: "Mulan received her life" Li Jing also admonished: "There is also a military order from me, no one is allowed to rob the people, let alone rape women, otherwise they will be beheaded."
Hua Mulan's face was full of relief, and her admiration for Li Jing was a little more, and she once again saluted and thanked the military salute: "Thank you to the governor" "What a thank you" Li Jing was a little puzzled.
Hua Mulan smiled, full of charm, "because Mulan is also a woman" After finishing speaking, Hua Mulan picked up 5,000 soldiers and went straight to the Tang Palace.
Xu Sheng quickly raised hundreds of carriages, which stretched from the imperial palace to the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, stretching for four or five miles.
Hua Mulan led the troops to take Li Yuan's queen of the main palace and seventeen concubines, as well as more than 1,000 palace maids; The two sons Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and the six daughters were all escorted to the car.
At the same time, troops were sent to surround the imperial palace, and Li Shimin's crown princess and several concubines were also arrested, including Li Shimin's one-year-old eldest son Li Chengqian.
Just when Mulan was sweeping the Li Tang Palace, Xu Sheng also led his troops to empty the Li Tang treasury at the same time, and more than 300 carriages were loaded with various supplies.
"Retirement" After the strategic task was completed, Li Jing stood on the south gate tower of Wang Jiancheng, overlooking the city, and gave orders in a loud voice.
"Brother, set a big fire to burn the Tang Palace and the granary, how" Li Cunxiao's eyes were blazing, and he made a suggestion.
Gao Gao and Yu Juluo echoed in unison: "What General Cunxiao said is that there are at least 300,000 stone of grain in the granary of the Tang Kingdom, and since we can't transport it away, we can't keep the cheap Li Shimin."
Just burn it down with a fire."
Li Jing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he muttered for a moment and said: "No, our army is a benevolent and righteous army, how can we do such a brutal act?
With these 300,000 stone of grain, it can at least feed the lives of tens of thousands of people, so that many innocent old and weak people can live, how can they be burned like robbers?"
"You can't keep it cheap Li Shimin" Li Cunxiao was a little unwilling, and only hated that there were not enough carriages and boats.
"Open a position and distribute it to the people" Li Jing made a decisive decision, "Plundering the land is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top."
Sooner or later, my Han will add this land to the territory, and I can take this opportunity to preach the benevolence and righteousness of my Han and win back the hearts of the people.
Mulan, this task is still up to you."
"Governor Wise" Mulan happily accepted the order and opened the warehouse to release grain.
Although she is a brave female general on the battlefield, when the war stops, Mulan prefers to show the kind side of a woman.
"Then what about the Tang Palace, burn it or keep it," Li Cunxiao asked a little depressed.
Li Jing smiled slightly: "Water and fire are ruthless, and after the army withdraws, it will lose control, and I am afraid that it will harm the innocent."
It's just a building, left for Li Shimin to live temporarily, and sooner or later it will be owned by my Han."
The newly entered Han army not only did not burn, kill and loot, but also opened warehouses to release grain and help the people.
This made the people of Wang Jiancheng overjoyed, and they all rushed to tell each other, helping the old and the young to come to the granary to line up to receive food.
This Wang Jiancheng was originally the capital of Goguryeo, but it was conquered by Li Tang for less than a year, and the people's hearts were not completely annexed.
At this moment, with the favor of the Han army, all kinds of remarks are inconsistent, and most of the people's fear and hatred of the Han army have been invisibly eliminated.
In the evening, the grain in the granary was scattered.
With Li Jing's order, 25,000 Han army foot soldiers drove four or five hundred carriages, escorted Li Yuan and all the concubines, and more than 1,000 palace maids of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces embarked on the road of Li Tang's humiliation, all the way to the south, rushing to the coast of Haizhou.
After the army embarked on the return journey, Li Jing ordered the three generals Li Cunxiao, Gao Gao, and Yujuluo to lead 4,000 light cavalry each to take turns behind the palace to intercept the pursuit of Li Tang's army.
The Han army rushed from Haizhou to Wang Jiancheng, trekked 130 miles and returned on foot overnight, which was not without hardship.
However, due to the fact that they rested on the sea for three or four days, they recuperated one by one, and this time they won a great victory, they will definitely be rewarded after they go back, and maybe they can choose a Goguryeo daughter-in-law.
Therefore, the morale of the whole army was high, the fighting spirit was high, and there was constant laughter and laughter along the way.
In the middle of the night, Tang General Jin Ce led 7,000 cavalry to chase up, and was ambushed by Li Cunxiao and Gao Gao, Li Cunxiao beheaded Jin Ce and severely damaged Tang Cai.
The rest did not dare to chase anymore and dispersed.
At noon the next day, the army escorted thousands of prisoners and baggage to the landing coast, and Zheng Chenggong plundered many Tang national ships from the coast in these two days, just enough to load the prisoners and baggage.

The army rushed aboard, and the sound of people shouting and neighing resounded throughout the coast.
By evening, all the soldiers and horses had boarded the ship.
With Li Jing's order, the mighty fleet sailed westward and sailed towards Jiaoxian County, Qingzhou.
The sea breeze is refreshing.
Especially after building this miracle feat, Li Jing, who was standing on the deck of the treasure ship, and the generals around him were all dissatisfied with the spring breeze and were full of spirit.
Zheng Chenggong said to Li Jing: "I don't know where Li Shimin has gone at this moment, the last general is willing to lead the naval division of his headquarters, along the coast to the south, looking for Li Shimin's remnants of the defeated generals, if they can meet at sea."
As soon as he was captured, Li Tang's country completely collapsed" Li Jing condensed his eyes and muttered: "In the vast sea, if you want to find more than ten ships, I'm afraid it's not easy."
"It's okay, you have to try to be worthy of your heart, in case you are lucky enough to bump into Li Shimin, it may not be" Since Zheng Chenggong was eager to fight, Li Jing had no choice but to agree: "In this case, the governor ordered the two generals to follow General Zheng and wait for dispatch."
Zheng Chenggong received the order, took Li Cunxiao and Gao Gao's second general, led 10,000 soldiers, took Zheng He's treasure ship, and fifty or sixty warships of all sizes, turned the rudder to the south, and looked for Li Shimin's fleet along the way.
Li Jing continued to lead the main fleet towards Jiaoxian.
Two days later, the port of Mokpo at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.
Li Shimin led ten tortoiseshell ships, led more than 600 remnants of the defeated army, and finally landed on the shore after trekking on the vast sea for seven days.
The morale of the whole army was low, and few people spoke along the way.
After landing on the shore, Li Shimin led his troops to settle in Yi Sunsin's Mokpo Naval Battalion, where 8,000 Tang troops were stationed.
After dinner, the exhausted Li Shimin was about to go to bed, when suddenly his own soldiers came to report that a scout had arrived from Wang Jiancheng at a speed of 700 miles a day to deliver urgent information.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince" The scout's face was covered with dust and frost, his legs were constantly trembling, and it was obvious that he had come galloping along the way, and his physical strength had reached the limit.
Li Shimin retreated left and right, and asked irritably: "You came in such a hurry, there is something important in the country, and my father wants to recruit me back."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, something is wrong" The scout knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Li Jing, the governor of Qingzhou of the Han army, raided the national capital three days ago, and broke through the city in one fell swoop, and captured His Majesty and the two princes, as well as the crown princess, and the little prince."
"What" This bad news exploded in Li Shimin's heart like a thunderbolt from the sky.
But Tian Khan is not comparable to ordinary people after all, there is no panic and sadness on this resolute and steady face, there is no sadness or joy, as if it is nothing to do, and asked in a deep voice: "When I was leaving, I arranged 40,000 defensive forces in Wang Jian City, why was the city gate broken by Li Jing so easily?"
The scout cried and complained: "Zhang Zhongjian raised troops in Xianxing, and His Majesty sent General Jin Ce to lead 20,000 troops to suppress it, so Li Jing took advantage of it. ” "This is clearly Li Jing's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all waste" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and scolded hatefully.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Jing's fleet is estimated to have not docked at this moment, if the ships are gathered to chase north with all their might, there may be hope to save His Majesty and the Crown Princess" The scout choked up and begged.
The candlelight shone on Li Shimin's face, which was a little gloomy.
"Come here, I have something to say," Li Shimin beckoned.
The scout was flattered and approached Li Shimin: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have?"
Suddenly, the sword flashed, and Li Shimin didn't know when there was an extra dagger in his hand, and he instantly cut the scout's throat.
Bleeding profusely, the scout clutched his neck and struggled in pain for a few moments before falling to the ground.
Without hesitation, Li Shimin pulled out the scout's saber and stabbed it into his left shoulder, also bleeding profusely.
"Someone, catch the assassin" Li Shimin threw his knife to the ground, covered his wounds, and roared.
The next day, Li Shimin left Mokpu Port with his troops as if nothing had happened, and marched towards Wang Jiancheng.
Along the way, a voice kept swirling in my head, as long as I am Li Shimin, why worry that there is no wife and children, and the Tang Dynasty will be helmed by me, and it will truly become a powerful empire t1706231537:
