Chapter four hundred and fifty-ninth, what the soldiers point to, is invincible
"Old man, go home. Don't cry here. It's impossible for someone to buy your iron plate here."
"Indeed, you are a thing of the previous dynasty and have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes...who would buy things from the previous dynasty when they were placed in the Tang Dynasty?"
................
The old man cried very sadly, but the words around him cut the old man's heart like a knife. This is the glory his son exchanged for with his life. Why is it worthless now? His son is not for himself, but for the people of the Central Plains.
If this glory is lost, then what is the death of his son?
The old man seemed to be crying out all his tears for the rest of his life. At this moment, a voice sounded: "Old man, I bought the iron plate... two hundred coins, is it OK..."
"Class...whose sucker actually made two hundred coins?" A burst of laughter came from the crowd.
However, as soon as the laughter ended, a shout was heard: "Bold, Your Highness, Your Highness, you still dare to laugh..."
Xiao Baoer's angrily shout made the originally laughing voice disappear immediately. Following the people around him, he immediately gave up a path. Li You came over, and the people hurriedly bowed and bowed: "See Your Highness, King Qi!"
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite..." Li You was very friendly to the people. After getting up, Li You walked to the old man and helped the old man and his grandson up and asked again: "Old man, I am willing to pay 200 coins to buy this iron plate. I don't know if you want it."
"Your Highness, are you saying true?" The old man was excited.
However, at this time, a man dressed in a businessman suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, the old man is not selling iron cards from the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the iron cards are from the previous dynasty."
After the merchant finished speaking, everyone around him began to agree, and everyone told Li You together not to buy this iron plate, the old man was a liar.
The old man was so anxious that he wanted to cry again. At this time, Li You waved his hand to signal everyone to quietly say: "Everyone... This old man is not a liar, this old man's son is a hero.
Although this is an iron plate given by the previous dynasty, the old man's son is a hero.
Because the old man's son died in a foreign land for the sake of the people of the Central Plains, I will tell you a place here. In the north of our Chang'an, there is a small country called Goguryeo.
This small country is very insidious. It secretly developed during the long-term war in our Central Plains region and stole the land of Liaodong. During this period, Goguryeo paid tribute to the dynasties of the Central Plains and was also hit by the Cao Wei and the Murong Xianbei regimes.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaodong County was controlled by Gongsun Du.
Goguryeo took the initiative to join forces with Cao Wei to attack Liaodong County. After Cao Wei captured Liaodong, Goguryeo immediately terminated its cooperation with Cao Wei and immediately sent troops to attack the eastern and western parts of Liao, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
In the fifth year of Yongjia, Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and "attacked Liaodong and East Anping in August" to cut off the water and land passage from the Korean Peninsula to Liaodong. Then, in the seventh year of Yongjia, "invaded Lelang County in October of winter, captured more than 2,000 men and women", and invaded Daofang County in the south in September of the second year of Jianxing," and gained rule over the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
When the 19th generation of King Guangkai of the Tuwang of Goguryeo, the momentum of expansion was getting stronger and stronger. In addition to the southern expedition of Baekje and the north expedition of Khitan, Fuyu, all occupied Xuantu and Lelang in the thirteenth year of King Guangkai of Goguryeo, and included a large area of land east of the Liaoshui River into the territory of Goguryeo, and the territory of Goguryeo was unprecedentedly expanded.
During the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo launched attacks on the Central Plains again and again. I don’t know how many of our Zhongyuan children captured. They sent our Zhongyuan children to slaves on the spot, even pigs and dogs.
Then Emperor Yang of Sui decided to conquer Goguryeo. All the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who went to the expedition were concentrated in Zhuo County, with 1.133,800 soldiers. In addition, the number of civilians transporting materials for them was twice that of the soldiers.
At the end of March of the eighth year of Daye, the Sui Dynasty army arrived at the Liaohe River. Because the bridge built by the Sui army was still several meters away from the shore, the Sui army went to the water to fight with the Goguryeo army on the other side. As a result, the Sui army died a lot. Mai Tiezhang, the Zuo Tengwei Guard General, and Qian Shixiong, Meng Cha, all died in battle. Later, the Sui army extended the bridge, finally crossed the Liaohe River, and defeated the Goguryeo army on the east bank.
At first, when Emperor Yang of Sui met in Liaoshui, in order to prevent the generals from attacking and fighting alone to seek merit and reputation, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered them to be divided into three ways. Any attack on military operations must be reported to each other, and the light army is not allowed to advance alone. In addition, the military advancement must be reported to Emperor Yang of Sui first and then reply to the order.
Emperor Yang of Sui ordered all the generals to surrender if Goguryeo wanted to surrender, they should appease and accept them and not to induce troops to attack.
When Liaodong City was about to be captured, the Goguryeo army in the city claimed to surrender. The Sui generals were ordered by Emperor Yang of Sui and did not dare to continue attacking. Instead, they first submitted Emperor Yang of Sui. After the reply order arrived, the Goguryeo army in the city had prepared defense and began to resist again.
This situation has been repeated many times, but Emperor Yang of Sui still did not wake up.
The Sui army still did not capture the Liaodong city. Even though Emperor Yang personally went to the front line to command later, the Sui army, whose morale had declined, remained stalemate for another month under the stubborn resistance of the Liaodong defenders but failed to capture the city.
Other cities in Goguryeo also defended themselves, but the Sui army did not capture it."
When Li You said this, some people cursed angrily: "This Goguryeo is too shameless. After saying surrender, they secretly strengthened the city."
"Bah... That Emperor Yang of Sui is also a foolish monarch, and he actually believed it again and again."
The people were talking nonsense, and at this time, Li You continued: "Emperor Yang of Sui launched a war against Goguryeo, and many millions of people died in Goguryeo, among which more than 300,000 soldiers died in Goguryeo.
Although these soldiers were soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, they attacked Goguryeo in order to defend the dignity of the people in the Central Plains. Even if they were soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, they were also heroes of our people.
They were not civil war, but went to expand their territory and recover the land. Shouldn’t we respect these heroes? My father once said, “Goryeo is the four counties, and I will send tens of thousands of soldiers to attack Liaodong. He will save him. He will send a boat army out of Donglai, and go from the sea to Pyongyang. It will be difficult to obtain it.”
One day, our Tang soldiers will definitely invade Goguryeo and regain their hometown. At that time, our Tang soldiers will help our predecessors fulfill their last wishes, regain their hometown, and inform the world of the majesty of our Tang Dynasty."
"Regaining the homeland, the power of the Tang Dynasty, the point of the military's attack, and the direction is invincible..."
I don’t know who took the lead. In front of Qixia Gate in Chang’an, a group of people and soldiers guarding the city shouted together, "The sound was so loud that it was straight to the sky."
Li You personally ordered that he would send two hundred stagnant copper coins to the old man. Then he took off his royal clothes, wrapped the iron plate, and put it on the carriage. He did not get on the carriage with him.
Then Li You issued a notice, using two hundred stakes to obtain the imperial iron plate. Li You will build a temple of heroes in Dunhuafang to worship these imperial iron plates. This is the only thing that modern Li You can do to those heroes.
The most uncomfortable thing about Li You in modern times is that the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and the Jingguan built by Goguryeo. South Korea shamelessly took this history for itself, and shamelessly mocked the other party's ignorance, although it could mock the other party's ignorance.
But Goguryeo does exist, the three races do fail, and the Jingguan of the Central Plains children is also true. Those people are heroes and should not be forgotten. Li You built a temple of heroes and martyrs, which also expressed his own feelings.
These are actually unintentional actions, but Li You's actions came directly to Li Shimin's ears only half an hour later. Li Shimin, who knew these, praised them: "Good... it's really my good son. Li You's actions can help the people of the Tang Dynasty know the stupidity of the previous dynasty, and also let the people of the Tang Dynasty know the hatefulness of Goguryeo.
In this way, when we send troops next year, there will be no resistance. Not only that, everyone will support us."
"Indeed..." Changsun Wuji said slightly: "You'er is really interested this time, and it can be considered a big help. Now the hidden dangers of Goguryeo are getting more and more. According to information, Goguryeo has "a hundred and seventy-six cities, more than 690,000 households"
We have only more than 2 million households. Although Goguryeo's national strength has been drastically reduced in the previous decades of war, its original strength has retained most of its strength in many years of wars.
It can be said that the total population and economic and cultural development of Goguryeo are far greater than Silla and Baekje, and even more than our Northland's strong strength.
If Goguryeo continues to develop, it is the only country that can integrate Silla and Baekje. If there is another turmoil in the Central Plains, then Goguryeo takes the opportunity to invade the south, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Yes, so we have to speed up. To be honest, Li You, the child, was really not very good before, but now he is understanding my intentions more and more. By the way, isn't he going to build a temple of martyrs?
If you go and say hello to the Ministry of Works and support it with all your strength, I will not give it to you. After all, he still has money. However, if you go and tell him that I will also go to worship on the day the Heroes Temple is completed.
Those people are heroes of the people of the Central Plains, and I agree with this.”
"Yes..." Changsun Wuji bowed and nodded.
....................................................
"You are so busy. It took you nearly an hour to issue the imperial edicts from our palace before you came in a hurry."
After Li You did everything, he came late. At this time, Yin Fei was a little impatient and complained to her son.
Li You quickly apologized: "Mother, I could have come back in half an hour, but something happened on the way was delayed. However, now that my son is here, I can say anything about my mother. My son is listening."
"I won't say it, I will let you see..." Yin Fei smiled slightly.
"Let me see..." Li You was stunned and didn't know what his mother was doing.
"Come out..." Yin Fei smiled slightly.
Then, Shao Yiyi and Li Heng walked out from the side.
