The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1559 Beheaded in Shacheng

In the Ganquan Palace, the emperor listened to Wei Zheng read out the contents of the victory report slowly, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

After such a long time, I finally heard the news about Goguryeo.

This news shocked the emperor even more.

Even a little caught off guard.

In just the first battle, Zhao Chen and the others captured the enemy general Huizhen.

The emperor still clearly remembered that he had fought against this Huizhen when he went on a personal expedition.

As the most powerful general under Yeon Gaesumun, Hye Jin still has the strength.

He lost many of his generals in a row.

Later, if it weren't for Zhao Chen's use of the sky-blasting cannon in Calabash Valley, which taught Hui Zhen a harsh lesson, Hui Zhen wouldn't have run away in despair with his tail between his legs.

Qin Qiong also died at the hands of Huizhen.

Now Huizhen has been captured by Zhao Chen. Unfortunately, the emperor originally wanted Zhao Chen to send Huizhen to Chang'an.

Now that Zhao Chen has killed Huizhen, it is a pity.

But these are no longer important.

What's important is that 30,000 of Huizhen's 50,000 troops chose to surrender to Zhao Chen.

The emperor had no clue what was going on.

He had no idea what kind of circumstances it was that out of 50,000 Goguryeo soldiers, 30,000 would choose to surrender.

Even fifty thousand pigs were enough for Tang soldiers to kill for a while.

But those 30,000 people surrendered directly.

The emperor couldn't understand.

Is there any other news? Did you say why those people surrendered? The emperor still couldn't suppress his curiosity.

He quickly asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was also surprised, how could these 30,000 people surrender directly.

Those who didn’t know thought it was a traitor arranged by Zhao Chen.

Your Majesty, the King of Han only sent back this good news, there is no other news. Wei Zheng shook his head.

This brat!

If you don't explain such good news to me properly, do you still see me in your eyes? Although the emperor looked a little angry on his face, he was already happy in his heart.

He had heard it in the good news anyway.

It was Huizhen of Goguryeo who took the initiative to provoke Zhao Chen and tampered with the water source, causing many Tang soldiers to be infected with the plague.

Only then did Zhao Chen take the initiative and finally captured Huizhen.

If this matter reaches the ears of the officials, they will be speechless.

Datang does not take the initiative to attack, but no one has ever said that they can continue to tolerate when they are being bullied.

It is true that the Tang Dynasty was a country of benevolence and righteousness, but it was never a country of cowardice.

Your Majesty, I would like to see you. The eunuch and the emperor came in and said.

The prime minister is here, hurry up, let him in. The emperor was very happy now. Of course he wanted to share this happy news with Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling walked into Ganquan Hall and was a little surprised to see Wei Zheng here, but it was just an accident.

Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling, pays homage to your Majesty! Fang Xuanling bowed to the emperor.

The prime minister has come just in time. I have great news to tell you.

I just received a letter from Shacheng. Our army has won a great victory. The enemy general Huizhen has been captured by our army and has been beheaded in Shacheng to show the public.

In the battle of Shacheng, 30,000 enemy troops surrendered. The emperor said to Fang Xuanling excitedly.

Fang Xuanling looked surprised.

His face was full of disbelief.

He looked at Wei Zheng who was standing aside. Wei Zheng nodded with him and then handed the good news in his hand to Fang Xuanling.

After Fang Xuanling read the good news in his hand, the wonder in his eyes became more intense.

Your Majesty, this

…”

It's unbelievable! Fang Xuanling hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.

The shock on his face could not be concealed at all.

If it weren't for the expressions on the faces of the emperor and Wei Zheng, as well as the signature of the victory report in their hands.

Fang Xuanling even thought it was just a prank.

I also find it unbelievable. I believed that Mr. Chen would win, but I didn't expect that he would win so completely.

Now that guy Yeon Gaesumun is probably too sad to sleep at night.

Haha—— The emperor's hearty laughter sounded in the Ganquan Palace.

There was a hint of pride in the laughter.

By the way, why did Fang Xuanling come to see me at this time? While excited, the emperor remembered that Fang Xuanling must have something to do when he came to see him at this time.

Reporting to your majesty, Goguryeo has sent an envoy. Fang Xuanling reported to the emperor.

Fang Xuanling felt strange when he first learned the news.

The Tang army was confronting the Goguryeo army in Shacheng. Why did Yuan Gaisuwen send an envoy?

This is totally unreasonable!

But just after hearing the good news, Fang Xuanling already had some guesses in her mind.

The Goguryeo envoy is here. I'm afraid I'm going to complain to Zhen, saying that it was Mr. Chen who took the initiative to attack them!

Their speed is quite fast. The news of Boy Chen's success has just arrived here, and their envoy has arrived. The emperor sneered.

Fang Xuanling also nodded: I think maybe they want to use our power to force His Highness the King of Han to withdraw.

Or let His Majesty recall His Royal Highness the King of Han, so that the pressure on them will drop drastically.

It's really a good calculation!

Your Majesty, it's better not to see this Goguryeo envoy, otherwise all the officials in the court will start making trouble again! Wei Zheng began to persuade the emperor.

said.

The officials who made the bet with the emperor didn't like Zhao Chen very much.

They wished the emperor would lose in this bet.

Therefore, it is very likely that they will sympathize with the Goguryeo envoys, or even favor Goguryeo.

As a result, it is not a good thing for Zhao Chen or the emperor.

The emperor shook his head. He must share the news of Zhao Chen's army's victory with all officials.

As for those who sympathized with Goguryeo and favored Goguryeo, the emperor felt the need to punish them.

These people have been active in the court, and it will not be long before the Tang Dynasty slowly declines.

If anyone dares to object in tomorrow's meeting, he, Li Shimin, will be among the first people to be attacked.

I'm really curious. When we receive the Goguryeo envoy at the meeting tomorrow, a few people will use this matter to cause trouble! The emperor said lightly, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

It was obvious that the emperor had murderous intentions towards those officials who did not think about the Tang Dynasty and only cared about themselves.

Prime minister, inform the Goguryeo envoy to meet in Taiji Hall tomorrow! the emperor said to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling felt a little worried when she heard the emperor's words.

But then I thought about it, if the quality issue dealt with some of the unscrupulous officials, it might be possible to reverse the current situation in the court.

Otherwise, when Zhao Chen personally comes to deal with them in the future, bloodshed may not be avoided.

I obey the decree. Fang Xuanling and the emperor responded.

With Huizhen's death, Shu Bao's revenge has been avenged. All the soldiers who participated in the battle in Shacheng this time have made great contributions.

Pass on my decree and order the Ministry of War to issue a document and give you a heavy reward!

Since the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who died for the country in this war, or the common people of the Tang Dynasty who made sacrifices for this war, have been recorded in the book, their compensation, names and deeds will be entered into their local county annals. The emperor continued to say to Fang Xuanling .
