Li Hong got up, went to the simple barbecue, motioned for Huameng to continue to roast rabbit meat, and said with his back to Wei Tu Qi: "forget it, what's the reward Bai Chun gave you? It's not a violation of the rules. But how come you haven't spent it yet? You don't spend money? "
Wei Tu Qi's face turned a little red. When he heard the prince's words, he didn't know how to reply. He usually had everything in the palace, but he didn't care about drinking and youhuafang. Moreover, as the prince's bodyguard, Miss Bai did not allow them to drink.
"He's like us." Hua Meng said with a smile that he didn't care about his eunuch's identity.
"Nonsense, I'm not like you. I just don't know how to spend money." Wei Tu Qi straightened his neck and retorted.
At this time, a soldier ran up to Wei Tu Qi and saluted him. He said, "my Lord, General Liu Rengui is more than 40 miles away from us. It is estimated that he can come and join us before dark."
"Well, eat and drink. Let's go. What about stinging people? Has Cui Zhibian's Navy arrived? " Li Hong bit a bit of the rabbit meat, full of oil said.
"Your Highness, Jingzhe hasn't come back yet." Seeing that Li Hong no longer pursues their welfare affairs, Hua Meng is greatly relieved. Although it's useless to ask for money, he changes it into a silver note in his pocket, which makes him feel very down-to-earth.
"OK, then we don't have to wait for him. Tonight, we'll set up a camp under the city of humiliation to bait Liu Rengui's troops, and see if we can let the Gaogouli garrison of the city attack." Li Hong said with a big mouth chewing rabbit meat.
Wei Tuqi, Huameng and cheetah, who had fought with Li Hong and had been in battle for a long time, could not help but take a breath after hearing Li Hong's words.
Li Hong looked at Leng there and didn't eat. He just looked at his own eating Huameng and others. He put down the rabbit meat and asked, "how? Dare not go? "
"Your Highness, why don't we lead our troops and wait for General Liu Rengui here? Are we three thousand too dangerous? " Huameng and the cheetah look at each other, and finally Huameng comes out and says bravely.
They also know that once the prince's highness decides something, it is very difficult to change, but this is a bit of a risk. At first, in Tubo, the army of 20000 people was better. At least, the protection of the prince's highness was comprehensive. At that time, it would be no problem to escape from Tubo, so they would dare to go.
Now, there are only 3000 people in total. Those who are weak and weak will have to set up camp under their noses. This is not to seek death. What is this?
Naturally, they did not dare to say so to his highness. They had to dissuade the prince from waiting for Liu Rengui's army to arrive.
"No, don't worry. It's going to be OK. Maybe we can stage a myth of winning without a fight." Li Hong continued to eat rabbit meat with the old God, looking relaxed and leisurely.
In the eyes of Hua Meng and others, he always feels that the prince's highness is not talking about the war of seizing the city and plundering the land, but rather that he intends to leave and go to Taiyi city or Lantian County for a turn.
But in Li Hong's opinion, this city is located on the Bank of the Datong River. Although Liujing, the imperial city of Koguryo, faced with the last barrier of the Tang Dynasty's capture of their royal city, its garrison forces may not be too small.
But the only weakness is that if there is a large army besieging the isolated city and humiliating the city, when Liujing can't rescue it in time or dare not come to rescue it, the city is just a turtle in a jar. Without attacking, they can be trapped and killed.
Therefore, if you see the troops of the Tang Dynasty in front of the city and the garrison of Yicheng is isolated and helpless, it can't be said that the troops will surrender without fighting. In this way, it will be a good thing for us to attack Liujing, the King City of Koguryo. At least, it can suppress Koguryo from the morale again.
When the three thousand soldiers and horses finished their meal and Huameng and others were still hungry, Li Hong ordered the army to pull out of the camp with a cold face.
Li Hong didn't even wear the armor which was polished by Wei Tuqi. He was wearing a white robe with round neck. His hair was tied in his head freely. He didn't even tie his hair. So he casually stepped on the back of the food ticket. A loud whistle sounded, and a dark shadow in the sky rushed at him.
Along the way, Li Hong found that Hai Dongqing was really human. Compared with Bai Chun's younger brother Bai Qi, he was not much better than Hai Dongqing. Li Hong rode on the horse with a pat on his shoulder. Naturally, there was no one around except the prince's guard and Huameng.
The army was ready to go. In about two hours, before the sun was setting, they could easily get to the city of humiliation. Even if they were faster, they could pitch up their tents before sunset.
Like a tourist, three thousand soldiers and horses walked on the so-called official road of Koguryo. Li Hong continued to discuss with Hua Meng about the name of haidongqing.
"The whole body is snow-white, and can fly again. How about if the snow falls?" The cheetah thought for a long time and said.
"No, the name xueluo sounds too poetic. Falcon has to conform to its name. I think it's better to call Xiaoqing since it is called haidongqing?" Wei Tu Qi stroked his chin and thought of such a broken name."Xiaoqing? It's a very familiar name, but it's very easy to read. Let's call it Xiaoqing. I feel like whose name it is. " Li Hong agreed with Wei Tuqi's proposal.
The Wei Tu Qi on one side didn't expect that his name was so casually mentioned. Instead of being scolded by his highness, he was also approved by his highness! I don't know if I should be happy or worried.
Haidongqing doesn't seem to resent the name Xiaoqing. Under Li Hong's patient instruction along the way, Xiaoqing's name has been adapted by haidongqing in less than two hours.
A city with golden halo in the sunset slowly emerges from the end of the horizon. The city of humiliation is not very big. Looking at its outline from a distance, it seems that it is smaller than that of Naan city.
However, Li Hong did not know that this was not a city in the strict sense. Its function was more like a military city, storing more grain and grass and soldiers guarding the King City of Liujing.
However, as the saying goes, auspicious people have their own destiny. Maybe people have bad luck. Today, not only the Tang Dynasty covets the imperial city of Koguryo, but also Xinluo and Baiji, just as Li Hong guessed, after the Tang Dynasty started the war against Koguryo, they were ready to move on the border line and were ready to take the lead in attacking Koguryo before the Tang army 。
The three thousand soldiers and horses were still moving forward without delay. The setting sun was not only scattered on the humiliating City, but also on the formation of 3000 iron hooves. The horses in their hands were shining with golden light under the setting sun, as if they were demonized, giving people a sense of depression and being swallowed up.
The dust raised by the horse's hooves seems to be covered with gold under the setting sun. The black armor of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, in the slanting sunlight, drags the long shadow, silently continues to move towards the humiliating city. The banners of the Tang Dynasty, like the demons, proclaim the mighty power of the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty to the humiliating city.
And the city of humiliating Yi is already the sound of the horn, and even in the downwind, vaguely can hear the soldiers on the city's panic cry.
Less than 500 steps away from the city wall of humiliating Yi, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty slowly stopped moving forward. 3000 iron horses stood quietly on the plain under the city, without any noise. Among the silent iron hooves, only when the breeze blew across the plain, did the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty stop.
Looking around, the city of humiliation is facing Li Hong's side of the city wall. At the moment, it is the shadow of people. Nervous soldiers crowd the whole city. After a while, a general in armor comes to the top of the city.
Li Hong picked up a telescope and looked at it. After seeing the scene over the head of the city, he almost fell off his horse: "lying trough, what's this about? Why did so many soldiers run to the city without holding weapons? "
After hearing Li Hong's words, several other people could not help but raise their binoculars and began to look at those soldiers on the head of the city. They saw that the soldiers on the head of the city looked flustered. Some of them even turned pale. Their lips trembled around the general. They didn't know what they were talking about.
The garrison generals looked flustered. Listening to the advice of the people nearby, they were even more upset. How could the Tang army come to the city so soon?
Did Mudi, cangyan and the three cities of South Jiangsu surrender directly? Otherwise, how can we arrive at the city of humiliation so soon? Are they flying here?
"General, they are no more than three thousand. With our strength, we will be able to win them." The deputy general nearby looked at the few Tang troops under the city and said with a tight fist.
"It's impossible. The Tang army has a lot of soldiers and a lot of generals. The people under the city are probably luring us out of the city. There must be ambushes in the rear. As soon as we open the gate, they will attack." Another general guarding the city, looked at the stable Mountain under the city, could not feel the slightest flustered breath of the Tang army, said solemnly.
"General, no matter what, the Tang army was able to reach our humiliating city at such a fast speed. It was obvious that cangyan and other cities had already broken down, otherwise they could not have been so fast. Therefore, the final general thought that no matter whether there was an ambush behind the Tang army, we should not act rashly, so as to avoid giving the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of."
The general of the garrison blinked his single eyelid and looked at the silent, motionless Tang soldiers who were arranged in several square formations. For a moment, they could not come up with a correct idea.
