Chapter 423: The Imperial Driver's Expedition
Thang Long City, located in the northwest of the Red River Delta, is located on the right bank of the Red River and the confluence of the Red River and the Dun River.
During the reign of the Tang Dynasty, Thang Long City was called "Song Ping". Later, it became a fortress and was called "Da Luo", which was ruled by Gao Biao in the Tang Dynasty.
The first policy promulgated by Li Gongyun, the founding emperor of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi, was to move the capital from Hualu to Daluocheng.
It is rumored that when Li Gongyun moved the capital, the imperial boat went to the city of Daluo, and there was a dragon to see it, so he changed its city to Shenglong City.
After the capital of Thang Long, Li Gongyun gathered the assets of the whole country and built a large number of buildings according to the Chinese architectural style. Tiande Mansion Shenglong Jing from the court hall, the left set of the Xian Palace, the right place of the martial arts hall. The left Qifei Longmen, the right Qidanfeng Gate. Zhengyang Qi high hall, all said dragon pier, the inner wing of the pier to the corridor, around the turn on all sides.
Behind the Qianyuan Palace, there are two halls of Long'an and Longrui. The left is built with the sun hall, and the right is built with the moon hall. There is Cuihua Palace behind.
Four gates are opened on all sides of the city, the east is called auspicious, the west is said to be Guangfu, the south is said to be Daxing, and the north is said to be Yaode.
In the city again, Xingtian Temple, Wufeng Star Tower, the city is away from the side of the Shengyan Temple and so on.
At this moment, in the Jixian Palace, thirty-four-year-old Li Qiande frowned, his face was haggard, and he looked like a person in his early fifties.
Prime Minister Li Richeng comforted: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body, although Ruan Zhishun was defeated, but I still have the strength to fight in Dayue, and now that Taiwei Li is personally in charge of guarding Langshan, then Yang Yi will definitely not be able to help my dynasty." The Song army has come from afar, and it will not be able to hold on for a long time, and there will be only one way to retreat after a few days. ”
Li Qiande sighed: "I hope so! It's just that I can't accept this fact for a while. At the beginning, the Song State used 100,000 troops, but it was only a tie with my Dayue, and now Yang Yi is only 30,000 horses. Ruan Zhishun's 100,000 elite soldiers were all overthrown in Pennsylvania, alas...... Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me! ”
Li Richeng hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty is cautious, at the time of the national crisis, Your Majesty needs to be more uplifted, if Your Majesty's words are spread, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be uneasy!" ”
"Prime Minister Jin Yu's good words, I have been taught!"
Li Qiande had great respect for both Li Ilcheng and Li Changjie, and he was only seven years old when he ascended the throne. Relying on the assistance of Li Richeng and Li Changjie, soon after ascending the throne, he successfully forced the Empress Dowager Shangyang, who was hanging the curtain and listening to the righteousness, to be martyred, and appointed his biological mother Yilan Yuan Concubine Li as the empress dowager, thus making him truly sit on the throne.
For more than 20 years, with the assistance of the two, the Great Yue Kingdom has reached its peak. The people's livelihood in China is rich, and the imperial examination system has been opened. The Northern War of the Song Kingdom captured Guangyuan Prefecture, Silang Prefecture, and Sumao Prefecture. The south captured the city and captured Dili Prefecture, Maling Prefecture, and Buzheng Prefecture. He was even more defeated by Zhenla, and won the four states such as Rongwei. Before and after, the territory of the Great Viet Kingdom was expanded by one-third.
Li Qiande has always treated the two as emperors. Now that the national disaster is at the head, it is even more dependent on the dry city.
Li Richeng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Guangnan was cut off by Yang Yi, and this person was extremely arrogant and refused to meet the envoy of our court. The minister wants to come, it is better to send people to cross the sea to the north to Tokyo, the Song State is busy governing the river, presumably there is not much energy to fight in the south of Xinjiang for a long time, the big deal is that our dynasty will cede the Guangyuan states north of Langshan to the Song State, we have done enough to make a gesture, give the Song State a step down, Dayue is also better than this hurdle. ”
Li Gande nodded and said: "What the Minister of State said is very true, then send an envoy to cross the sea to the north, but I am afraid that the Song court may not be willing to give up!" ”
This time to touch the tiger's buttocks, Li Qianshun Junchen also made all kinds of mental preparations, the original idea was that even if he could not capture Lingnan, it would not be a problem to retreat to the mainland and hold on.
But I never thought that Ruan Zhishun would be defeated so badly, 100,000 troops, just thrown under the city of Pennsylvania, this is almost all the troops of Da Yue!
Li Richeng also felt very depressed, and involuntarily looked at the sky outside the palace, and secretly sighed before continuing to say to Li Qiande: "Your Majesty, don't disturb, you always have to try, and now that Zhancheng and Zhenla have made a move, even if they won't send troops to help me Dayue, as long as they don't agree to Song Guo to attack my Dayue together, it's a good thing." ”…,
As soon as he mentioned Champa and Zhenla, Li Gande couldn't help but say angrily: "The two dog things, Ma Na and Jaya Varman, dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and blackmail me Da Yue, and when I get this breath over, I have to destroy them." ”
Li Richeng sighed secretly, if it was before, it would still be possible to destroy Zhancheng and Zhenla, but I am afraid it will be difficult in the future, Jiaozhi is not the Great Song Dynasty, and has millions of soldiers.
And the loss this time is not just 100,000 people, the national strength accumulated over the years, the weapons and armor built up, and the generals and elites are almost all destroyed in this battle.
Now, although more than 100,000 strong men are quickly raised, but after all, they are only some old, weak, sick and disabled, and they don't even have decent weapons.
But at the time of this national crisis, it is not a good thing to let the emperor burn with a wave of hatred in his heart, and hatred can even give people more motivation to work hard, so Li Ilcheng replied: "Your Majesty, I think that the situation of King Goujian was ten thousand times more dangerous than that of Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty can learn from Goujian, in order to hate before the snow in the future. Champa and Chenlajayavarman blackmailed me this time, and he will repay it tenfold in the future. The minister came today in the hope that His Majesty could take the expedition in person. ”
"The Imperial Driver?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Although there is Li Taiwei in Langshan, but Li Taiwei is very old, in case of overwork and illness, our army will definitely collapse without a fight, at this time, only His Majesty will drive the conquest in person, and block the country with the body of ten thousand gold, the soldiers can swear to the death, and the people will look to the scenery, and all the people will work together to resist foreign humiliation. Minister, I beg your Majesty to take the lead in person! ”
Li Richeng was also nearly seventy years old, his beard was frosty, and he knelt down tremblingly in front of Li Qiande, but his voice was full of energy.
Li Qiande thought about it, Lang Son is only 200 miles away from Thang Long City, once Lang Son is lost, the south is a flat river, Thang Long City must not be defended, so staying in Thang Long City and pro-conquest of Lang Son is no different.
"The minister of the country invites me to get up, I don't want to go to the imperial frame to conquer in person, it is really a great disaster for the country, and there is emptiness inside, I am worried that once the royal driver is in person, there will be chaos in the rear! At that time, I am afraid that the ancestral inheritance will be ruined! ”
Li Richeng knelt down, kowtowed, and said loudly: "If Your Majesty can trust the old minister, please temporarily entrust the rear to the old minister!" The old minister has followed His Majesty for half his life, and has been favored, and today he is willing to repay His Majesty's grace with his crippled body. Your Majesty's royal drive is in person, and the hundreds of officials in the court will definitely try their best to dissuade it, but the old minister is still willing to risk the world's condemnation and implore His Majesty to drive the expedition in person! Minister, I beg your Majesty to take the lead in person! Minister......"
If Li Qiande didn't agree, Li Richeng would have the intention of dying and kneeling, Li Gande no longer hesitated, Huo Ran took the case, and shouted: "Okay, just as the prime minister said, this Shenglong City will be temporarily entrusted to the prime minister, I, tomorrow I will drive the expedition in person!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, the old minister is dead!"
Yang Yi began to become cautious again, and after joining up with Liu Wu, 20,000 troops were stationed north of Lang Son, sending 2,000 men and horses every day to launch tentative attacks without stopping, but the whole army would never press up.
Yang Yi also raised a ragtag army of 8,600 people.
Dali country two thousand.
There are more than 6,000 in 60 states, and there are about 100 people in one state on average.
This ragtag army is used for frontal combat, waiting for it to collapse! Yang Yi didn't think he had the ability to let them form a formation and fight together.
But since they are here, they can't be allowed to eat and drink in vain, Yang Yi simply let them fight separately and go to Langshan by themselves!
brought back a Vietnamese army leader, and rewarded 500 Wen; Capture a captive and reward you with a penny. After the war is over, according to the number of heads and captives brought back by that tribe, the tribal leader will be given an additional heavy reward. …,
Xizuo sent back the news, Li Qianshun is still forcibly pulling strong men, he will probably pull all the strong men in the country to fill the number, even fourteen-year-old children, ten-year-old people will not let go, if they want armor without armor, if they want weapons without weapons, such an army, if they fight head-on on flat ground, Yang Yi dares to guarantee that it will be destroyed within an hour.
But Lang Shan is undulating and densely jungled, such a terrain is extremely beneficial to the defending Vietnamese army, even if it is a soldier of a hundred battles, it is possible to be killed by a little kid, think about the old American aircraft artillery in later generations, from the south to the north, it took 20 years, and did not let the Vietnamese monkeys lie down, so it can be seen how difficult it is to fight in this kind of mountainous jungle.
Yang Yi knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, it might not be a good thing to let Li Qiande pull up all the strong men, the more Li Qianshun pulled up, the easier things would be in the future, and it was best for him to make Jiaozhi only a group of women in the country, and when Lao Tzu went in, it was called a cool profit.
Yang Yi is not in a hurry, Duan Heyu also thinks that he can't be in a hurry, he does water grinding kung fu by Yang Yi's side every day, maybe in order to make Yang Yi feel more kind, he even changed into a set of Hanfu, I have to say, this guy looks really talented.
In Yang Yi's big tent, Duan Heyu wanted to invite Yang Yi to taste the two delicacies of their Bai tribe, raw meat and roasted tea.
Several beauties brought by Duan Heyu opened a charcoal stove under the tent, they wrapped embroidered cloth on their heads, wore white shirts, red shoulders, black velvet collar gowns, and hung "three whiskers" and "five whiskers" silver ornaments on the right side of the knot, tied with embroidered short waists, wore white wide trousers, and embroidered shoes.
In particular, their headdresses contain a very familiar word: wind and snow.
Keiko with her hat hanging down is the wind of Shimonoseki; The gorgeous flower ornament is the flower of Shangguan, the white of the top of the hat is the snow of Cangshan, and the curved shape is the moon of Erhai.
The whole set of dresses is bright and vivid, which sets off the woman's graceful and clear spirit more moving, especially one of them called Mu Wanling, who is petite and exquisite, with thin eyebrows like Dai, a small melon seed face, extremely delicate facial features, and a pair of Danfeng eyes between the eyes, flashing with a pearl-like luster, which reminds people of the good sentence "The heart is a little clear".
Yang Yi suddenly found that the Xian Ling Spider standing beside him seemed to have an indescribable hostility towards Mu Wanling, and his eyebrows would always frown unconsciously when he looked at Mu Wanling, which made Yang Yi secretly amused.
Maybe it's like this, men and men can put their hearts in their hearts, live and die together, but it is difficult for women and women to do this, no matter how intimate they usually are, there will always be a membrane in their hearts.
