Chapter 976

With Yuan Gaisuwen's withdrawal of troops, countless people in Silla were happy and excited as if they were in a desperate situation, and Silla was in ruins.

Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, is equally joyful and full of celebration.

Because the cavalry who reported the victory came to Chang'an City again, and the good news brought this time was even more amazing.

The army took only one day to capture Liaodong City!

You know, that's Liaodong City!

When the two previous good news came, officials in the court generally believed that the attack on Liaodong City would not be as smooth as before, and it would take more effort to fight.

The people in Chang'an City also agree very much.

After all, Liaodong City is not comparable to Jian'an City and Gaimu City.

But I never expected that the army would conquer Liaodong City in just one day.

In the final analysis, the artillery is so awesome!

Su Cheng is so awesome!

They suddenly felt that the civil servants in the court didn't seem to be very good, and their faces were beaten up and rang out loud.

Even officials like Wei Zheng, who are well-known in the court and the opposition, were slapped in the face and were slapped in the face since last winter.

Tsk, it's awful to think about it.

However, the people don’t have time to laugh at these civil servants who have been slapped in the face. It’s better to celebrate this series of brilliant victories if they have time.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, looking very happy.

In fact, when he first learned that the army had captured Liaodong City in just one day, he froze.

Because the army captured Liaodong City, it means that Goguryeo will withdraw from Silla, which means that the mission of the father-in-law's personal expedition was successfully completed.

Since the purpose of the expedition has been achieved, the father will naturally lead the army to triumph.

The father led the army to triumph, which means that his life for reincarnation was about to end.

This is so reluctant.

However, what he didn't expect was that his father did not intend to withdraw his troops, but planned to continue attacking Goguryeo, which made him overjoyed.

"It took only one day for the army to capture Liaodong City. It was a surprise and congratulations! But why didn't Your Majesty retreat?" Wei Zheng said loudly.

"As long as the Liaodong city is captured, Goguryeo will definitely withdraw his troops from Silla. The purpose of this expedition has been achieved, so why should we continue to go deeper? The lonely army will be in danger of overturning!"

"The war in the Eastern Expedition was so smooth, and His Majesty and the soldiers who went on the expedition despise the Goguryeo people, which is very inappropriate!"

"We should write a letter to advise Your Majesty together, and we should not continue to go deeper. We should stick to Liaodong and force Goguryeo to withdraw its troops from Silla to achieve the goal of rescuing Silla!"

Chu Suiliang and others nodded after hearing this. Since the purpose of saving Silla has been achieved, there is no need to take risks again.

Although Li Chengqian still had a smile on his face, he was cursing in his heart.

Old Man Wei, shut up, you are so stupid!

If your father wants to go east, he will go east. If you want to go deeper, he will go deeper. You are so stupid!

Why do you think the slap in the face is not painful enough?

Of course, Li Chengqian could not say that he did not want his father to return to triumph and did not want to lose the opportunity to be reincarnated.

Li Chengqian pondered: "We are far away in Chang'an. After all, we don't understand what the situation in Liaodong is, so it is difficult to draw conclusions. Maybe the father has other profound meanings, but it is unknown."

Kong Yingda said with a beard sticking out: "What is the meaning? Isn't this Eastern Expedition just to save Silla? I know that after conquering Liaodong, Goguryeo would inevitably withdraw its troops from Silla, so why do you need to continue to go deeper?"

"It must be that the generals who went on the expedition saw that the Eastern Expedition was so smooth and wanted to make more contributions, so they encouraged His Majesty to continue to attack Goguryeo in depth!"

"Mr. Kong is right. We must write a letter to advise Your Majesty. There is no need to continue to move troops in depth. It will only waste people, money, and lose troops, and will be useless for the country!"

"Yes, yes, I'll write a letter to persuade Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the civil servants in the hall quickly decided to write to the emperor together, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, it was because he was just the prince's supervisor and could not suppress these civil servants at all.

Did the civil officials leave? They made an appointment to go back and write memorials, leaving only Li Chengqian, the prince of the regent, in Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy and clear. Will these civil officials really persuade their father to withdraw their troops?

Li Chengqian stood up and ordered: "Follow me to leave the palace!"

"Your Highness, do you want to prepare a ceremony?" asked the eunuch next to him.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "No need, just take a few loyal guards and walk around!"

The dignified Crown Prince Li Chengqian left the palace in only his regular clothes, surrounded by twenty or thirty guards.

Now the people of Chang'an City are in a carnival to celebrate the victory, and everyone's excitement can be heard everywhere.

"Your Majesty is really worthy of being the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! The emperor personally led the army to conquer Liaodong City in just one day!"

"Of course! Your Majesty now swept the world with his cavalry back then. How could he not be able to lead troops to fight?"

"Your Majesty's ability to lead troops to fight was unparalleled at that time. However, Duke Rong's ability was rare in the world. If it weren't for the Duke Rong's cannon, the Eastern Expedition would not have been so smooth!"

"Yes, yes, Duke Rong is really the Wenqu star in the world who has descended to earth. He is here to assist His Majesty in revitalizing the Tang Dynasty!"

Listening to the discussions coming from around him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little envious. He wondered if the people in Chang'an would also discuss him in the future.

He felt quite uncomfortable when he heard that the people were still praising Su Cheng. He really loved and hated Su Cheng.

I love Su Cheng’s peerless talent and hate Su Cheng for ignoring him as the prince. How great would it be if Su Cheng could use it for him?

While no one was paying attention, Li Chengqian sneaked in through the corner gate of Duke Chen's mansion. Then, under the guidance of a servant, Li Chengqian came to the secluded study room in a familiar way.

In the study, Hou Junji was holding the military books that were concentrated on. When he saw Li Chengqian coming in, he put down the military books in his hand.

"Why did Your Highness come suddenly? Your Highness should pay more attention to his actions!" Hou Junji said lightly.

Li Chengqian sat down opposite and said in a deep voice: "The Duke must have known. It took only one day for the father to lead the army to capture Liaodong City!"

Since the cavalry who reported the victory entered the city, the news of the victory spread wildly in Chang'an. Hou Junji nodded slightly and said, "Arson is really a powerful weapon to attack the city and draw the village. He has not disappointed His Majesty's expectations. Su Cheng is indeed a talented man!"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "Does the Duke of the Kingdom know that his father captured Liaodong City and did not intend to withdraw his troops, but continued to attack Goguryeo!"
