Chapter 742 Li Daoyan's Careful Thoughts

Li Shentong's funeral was followed from beginning to end. Since the reign of Wude, Li Shentong has been the most powerful political ally of the Yun family.Now, the most honorable prince of the Tang Dynasty has finally run out of fuel.The journey of life is over!Except for not wearing hemp and mourning clothes, Yun Hao did everything he could.

Seeing a group of lords kneeling and crying under the coffin of the old guy, Yun Hao felt that Li Shentong's spirit in heaven should also rest in peace.The splendor of the Li family and his splendor set off each other.Li Er paid homage to this clan uncle in person, and walked in the front of the funeral procession, wearing a mulberry head wrapped in white silk.The young Li Zhi also dressed in mourning for this grandfather.Go forward holding the coffin!

The majestic majesty of the royal mausoleum was built by chiseling stones from mountains.In terms of etiquette, the system has been greatly violated. A few officials who wanted to take advantage of the camp were impeached the first day, and were dispatched to serve in front of the Liaodong Army the next day.For this clan uncle, Li Er gave the most favorable treatment.After Li Shentong's death, it can be regarded as extremely mournful!
After being busy for more than half a month, Yun Hao left Chang'an only after wearing mourning clothes.After returning to Lintong, he plunged into Yun's other courtyard in Lishan.This fight lasted for two months, during which Li Er had summoned him twice, but Yun Hao prevaricated them with the excuse that he was ill.As a result, the impeachment of Yun Hao's disrespectful and insincere remarks once again spread in the dust.

Li Er is in a pretty good mood recently, forgiving Yun Hao's series of rude actions.He even praised Yunhao in public for remembering Li Shentong's behavior of avoiding living in the mountains.With the support of the emperor's boss, the wave of impeachment of Yunhao quickly subsided.Everyone is like everyone else, going up and down every day, hello and me for the New Year.

The sorrow brought about by Li Shentong's death can be quickly diluted because of the frequent news of success on the front line.On the western front, Hou Junji has pushed the pace of expansion to the extreme.Almaty, Suiye City and other places are now the territory of Datang.For the first time in history, the sphere of influence of the Tang people penetrated into Central Asia like this.

The prince of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, became a prisoner. For the first time in his life, this prisoner took an advanced means of transportation such as an airship.Flying all the way to Chang'an City, after being personally received by Li Er, he became another member of the emperor's dance class together with his senior Jie Li.

Hou Junji's army is sweeping the grasslands, sweeping away all those who are hostile to Datang.The way they distinguish hostility is their eyes. As long as there is hostility in their eyes, they will inevitably be stabbed in the neck.In just one month, the grasslands were full of people.A large tribe of thousands of people may be wiped out just because a young pheasant swung a saber.The wealth they accumulated over the years naturally became the wealth of Tang Jun or Hou Junji.In many cases, the difference between soldiers and bandits is actually not that big.

Li Er knew what Hou Junji was doing on the distant grassland, but he had no intention of stopping it.Li Er, who has Hu people's blood, knows how to deal with those Hu people.Reasoning with them with your mouth is far less profound than using a saber.Rolling heads and bloody sabers will teach them humility and teach them how to be servants.Killing and standing up has always been the most effective means for rulers!
Of course, after killing someone to gain power, there will be gentle grace.But this is not what Hou Junji, a soldier, should do. What a soldier has to do is raise his butcher's knife and do what the barbarians have done in the Central Plains again.Even worse!History is always strikingly similar. In many cases, the positions of the killer and the victim are just reversed.

With the arrival of the rainy season in Northeast China, the battle in Liaodong has reached a stalemate.For the first time since its establishment, Datang's firearms unit encountered an insurmountable natural enemy...heavy rain!
When Yun Hao followed Li Er to conquer Liaodong, the Liao River was almost dry due to the drought.Chai Shao obviously didn't have such luck, the pouring rain made the Daliao River roar angrily.The surging river rushes down with the trees and houses washed away all the way, and finally flows into Bohai Bay.

The gunpowder is damp and its performance is greatly reduced.After throwing several gunpowder bombs in a row and they all misfiring, the captain, who had no strings in his head, actually ordered the gunpowder bombs to be roasted before firing.The dead captain soon got his wish, and was blown away by the huge explosion.

Most of Zuo Wuwei's officers have undergone short-term training in the academy, while the officers under Chai Shao did not have this kind of treatment.In this era of rampant aristocrats, recommendation is still the main way to become an official.The reason why the school lieutenant who lacked a string in his head was able to become the school lieutenant was because of the recommendation of one of Chai Shao's subordinates.And the reason why the steward recommended him was because the steward married the captain's sister as his concubine.

The army that shouldn't have been given gunpowder is now being given gunpowder.It finally led to a big accident, which was the result of Li Er's efforts to encourage him.Li Er only saw the power of gunpowder, but ignored the danger and limitations of gunpowder.

Fortunately, the explosion did not occur at the height of the fighting between the two armies.The place where the explosion occurred was also far away from the ammunition storage point.If there were a series of explosions, I believe the number of casualties would be astonishing.Even the entire Liaohe defense line will be shaken.

Of course, God is fair.The torrential rain not only brought troubles to Tang Jun, but also brought great troubles to Yuan Gai Su Wen.The roaring Liaohe River is now impossible for people to cross, and large-scale beach landings are even more unthinkable.

The two warring parties shrank helplessly and confronted each other on both sides of the Liaohe River, staring at the roaring Liaohe River in a daze.

Yuan Gai Suwen hated the rainy season in Liaodong, if it wasn't for the heavy rain that lasted for half a month.The Liaohe defense line has already been breached, maybe now he can send his troops to Hebei and make a fuss on the land of the Han people.

But now everything is in vain, even Yuan Gai Suwen feels sadly that the last desperate blow of the Koryo nation has failed.What awaits the Goryeo nation will be eternal perdition and even genocide.

The secret work kept sending back news that those smoking guys kept sending all kinds of materials to Liaodong.The number of soldiers has increased even more dramatically, and they can even transport horses through huge iron boxes.Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe it, but after his personal guards went to see it in person, they swore to him that all this was true.

The fight for war is money and food, and what is fought is manpower and material resources.Goryeo has no advantage in these two aspects!
The grain produced in Koryo had to cross the Yalu River and travel thousands of miles to reach the front line of the Liaohe River.The muddy land and pouring rain made the food transport team exhausted.Datang is different, they can even transfer grain in Guanzhong.When employing less than one percent of the Korean people, Mishan was sent to Liaodong by the sea.

The rain has stopped!Yuan Gai Suwen also started to attack, he was surprised to find out.Opposite him is no longer Hebei and Shandong soldiers with poor equipment and insufficient training.It was the elite sixteen members of the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Gai Suwen even heard the strange Guanzhong accent from the captive's mouth.

The tragedy is not only here, the first day of July.Liu Rengui led Zhenhai and Dinghai, two huge warships under the Liaodong Navy, into the Yalu River.Burned, blew up, and crashed countless Koryo grain ships that were crossing the river.Some marines even boarded the shore and burned down the transshipment granary set up by the Koreans on the south bank of the Yalu River.

Hearing this news, Yuan Gai Suwen was like a thunderbolt. As a war genius, he knew clearly that his way back had been cut off.In the future, it will be difficult for him to get food and grass supplies, if he is the emperor of Tang.They will definitely send a partial division to land in the hinterland of Koryo.The empty hinterland of Goryeo will become a paradise for them to kill.Even Pyongyang will fall.

Looking at the rushing water of the Liaohe River in front of us, look at the burning boats on the water, and the corpses of countless Koryo soldiers floating with the river.Yuan Gai Suwen drew out his sword. Once upon a time, he dreamed of cutting a bloody path for the Koryo nation with the three-foot ice front in his hand.For this reason, he killed Gao Jianwu.He even sent his most beloved sister to kidnap Datang's important minister Yunhao.

But all of this turned into a mirror in the mirror in the end.He has already lost the opportunity to attack the Liaohe defense line by force, even if he crossed the Liaohe river.There are still countless lands in the Tang Dynasty, which he has no way to conquer.The huge Tang State has enough space for his soldiers to be exhausted.

The food in the army is only enough for three days, and the Koryo army will run out of food after three days.Yuan Gai Suwen is very clear about what food shortage means to an army.

The dream of grand plans and hegemony came to nothing, Yuan Gai Suwen thought of many people when he looked at Liaohe water.A dignified father, a loving mother.The cute little girl, and Gao Jianwu who turned into a ghost covered in blood.

The rushing water of the river looks like Gao Jianwu's protruding claws.He kept reaching out to himself, trying to pull himself into the rolling river.

"Gao Jianwu! I owe you my life, I will give it back to you!" Yuan Gai Suwen roared fiercely, and the birds in the river immediately hid far away.

In the horrified eyes of the guards, Yuan Gai Suwen yanked the long sword around his neck.The sharp blade pierced the skin, cutting the muscular trachea and the major arteries in the neck.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the guards who rushed up tried to cover it with their hands, but it was in vain.Yuan Gai Su Wen, their king face fell into the water of the Liao River.His eyes stared round at the blue sky and white clouds, with a hint of unwillingness inside, and eventually lost the brilliance of life.

"Why are you here? You don't need to repair the railway?" Yun Hao looked at Li Daoyan behind him dissatisfied.The guy threw stones into the river, scaring away the fish that were about to take the bait.

"It's okay! It doesn't matter whether it's repaired or not. Yuan Gai Suwen died, and the Koreans are about to surrender. The urgent rush to build the Liaodong Railway is not so urgent. Go back to Chang'an to rest. I'm exhausted in the past two years." Li Daoyan broke off a willow branch and whipped the air indiscriminately.

Yun Hao looked back at Li Daoyan again, the white hair on his temples meant that he was not lying.The Great Tang Railway has made great progress in recent years, and it is indeed due to the King of Jiaodong.

"Father is gone! Before he died, he once told me that the reason why Datang is today is that you have the greatest influence. The reason why he has always supported you is because he knows. As long as you are here, the country of my Li family will be safe." become more prosperous and prosperous.”

"Your Majesty's country!" Yun Hao couldn't understand Li Daoyan pulling up the banner as a tiger skin, and corrected him.Although the power of the clan is very strong, Li Er's power is even more terrifying.Yun Hao is still clear about who is the boss.

"Your Majesty's country is also the Li family's country." Li Daoyan glanced at Yun Hao meaningfully, and said slowly.

"What on earth do you want to say? It's settled. Although we are brothers, I won't do rebellion, and I won't even kill you!" Yun Hao said solemnly.Li Daoyan's words made him very vigilant.What is called Li's family's country is whether Li Er's country is good or not.If you say this to Li Er, you don't know how many princes will be imprisoned forever.

"Jiangshan belongs to our Li family, why should I rebel?" Seeing Yunhao's expression, Li Daoyan thought he was looking at a pile of shit.

"Okay! Tell me what you are here for today, and wait by the side after you finish talking. When I catch the fish, I will stew the fish for you to eat at night." Yun Hao changed a piece of bait and threw the hook into the water again.

"...!" Li Daoyan blushed like a monkey's butt, which is what he always looks like when he is in trouble.

"Speak, if you can't say it, don't say it."

"Do you think Qingque can replace Chengqian and become the new prince." After holding back for a long time, Li Daoyan squeezed out his thoughts like he was constipated.

"Are you so anxious to stand in line?" Yun Hao finally understood, because Mao Li Daoyan said again and again today that the world belongs to the Li family.Although theoretically speaking, this is correct, because Li Er is a member of the Li family.But in Chang'an, not a single heartless person dared to speak out in public.

"Qingque and I met in Liaodong!" Li Daoyan lowered his head and rubbed his hands like a child.

"When my father was dying, he said that you were the smartest person in Datang. He asked me to follow your footsteps when I couldn't make a decision. I want to know whether you support Chengqian or Qingque." Li Daoyan looked at Yunhao seriously.

"It seems that King Wei has given you a lot of benefits, and that's right! The lifeblood of the country is actually the railway. As long as you control the railway, you control the lifeblood of the country. And if you want to control the railway, you must first control you.

Again, the world belongs to His Majesty.The railway also belongs to His Majesty, and it is His Majesty who can make people soar in one sentence.It is His Majesty who can send people into hell with one sentence!Don't cling to this piece of sky or that piece of sky, Chang'an, there is only one piece of sky in Datang, and that is Your Majesty.Don't think about being the hero of Conglong, have you forgotten?
Let's not mention the distant Han Xin, what will happen to Yu Wentai?What happened to Yang Su?Forget what Li Tai told you, brothers can only persuade you like this.Listen or not, it's all up to you.Well, I'm going to fish now.If you want to stay and eat, just wait on the side.If there are other things, you will know the way out of the mountain. "

I don't know what happened, Li Er is not dead or even sick.These idiots are waiting to support the next generation of emperors. If they know that the emperor can live for at least ten years, I believe someone will hit the wall.
