The night is like water, the golden crows sink west, the stars are still dotted in the sky, but a bright moon gradually turns west. It is already the fourth day of the second half of the night, and the night of the Kanto generation is a little cool.

Li Shimin asked someone to take a cloak and gently put it on Changsun. The couple sat side by side on the bank of the Liao River, looking at the east bank of the Liao River.

"Your Majesty, it's been four hours since Yue'er and the others went on the battle!" Changsun suddenly sighed quietly, his eyes filled with timidity and worry, and even his voice trembled slightly.

My son is worried that she is the queen of a country, but she is also a mother. As long as she is a mother, there is no one who doesn’t worry about her children. Even if the child has grown up, he has long been a famous genius in the world.

Li Shimin reached out and held Changsun's waist and said warmly: "Don't worry about Guanyin maids. Although they have few people this time, they are all elites. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Liu Hongji... all those who went on the battle with him were fierce generals of the Tang Dynasty. These people would protect him from happening."

"I'm afraid they don't need to help me carefully. After all, Yue'er is just a marquis, and all of them are dukes." Changsun was still a little worried.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "They dare not!" He glanced at Changsun and whispered: "Then Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde are the most loyal people under my command. If they really encounter danger on the battlefield, they would rather die by themselves and save the life of the brat."

The emperor stopped slightly and said lightly: "Cheng Zhijie is a smart man, Yuchi Jingde is stupid and loyal, others have selfish intentions on the battlefield, but they don't know... These two guys know my character well, and they will never dare to leave the bad guys alone. On the contrary, if they die in battle, I will compensate their family and let their descendants enjoy all their glory, wealth and infinite glory."

"The general died in a hundred battles, and what he wanted was nothing but his wife and son. I hope Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde would be like this." Changsun whispered softly.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Actually, this is just your and my husband are worried. Tonight, the stinky brat is obviously confident. The city defense garrison in Xinmaru City will never exceed 50,000. Although they have gone to a thousand Xuan armored iron cavalry, my thousand iron cavalry is at least equal to eight thousand infantry in Goryeo. In this way, the difference in combat power is not too big."

"But Yue'er is very few after all!" Changsun Feng frowned slightly. Once a woman involved in a child, all her intelligence would disappear without a trace.

Li Shimin stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand that the stinky brat will definitely not suffer this time. He has fifteen giant hot air balloons. Surprising Shinmaru Castle is not an attack at all, but a one-sided massacre."

Changsun chuckled and said in a low voice: "I am concerned about it, but it will be a mess. Your Majesty, it's almost the fifth day of the day, and Yue'er and the others have not returned yet. Why don't you send a cavalry to pick them up? So you won't defeat Shinmaru Castle but are blocked by other Korean soldiers. After all, they only have one thousand people, and it's easy to be surrounded and suppressed by the army."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned and pondered: "This is possible. Guanyin Bi reminded me very well. I will make arrangements now..."

The emperor turned his head slowly, and was about to call someone to come, but suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves running wildly from the opposite side of the Liaohe River. Someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the victory of Xinmaru City, beheading 30,000... You are the victory of Xinmaru City, beheading 30,000!"

Li Shimin stood up from the stone with a bang. Because he was too quick, he almost staggered Changsun.

The horse's hooves came quickly, and the shouts approached quickly. In just a few blinks, a cavalry appeared from the opposite river bank.

The cavalry jumped off the horse and waded directly across the river. While swimming, he continued to shout: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the raid battle tonight was a complete victory. The Marquis of Jingyang personally led his troops into the Xinmao City of Goryeo. The soldiers of the army slaughtered wildly, killing 30,000 heads in total. Xinmao City has been burned to white land, and millions of grain have turned into ashes. Your Majesty, this is a great victory..."

Of course, there was a great victory. One thousand people attacked other people's cities, not only burned their cities, but also killed a total of 30,000 people. Thousands of people killed 30,000, and each soldier had at least 30 military achievements in beheading. This kind of record was the top in the entire era of cold weapons.

"It's great!" Li Shimin laughed and turned to Changsun and said, "Guanyin maid, what I said just now is right? The little brat is confident, he can't lose."

Changsun smiled gently and hugged her husband's arm.

At this time, the soldier had already waded across the river. He was wet and dripping with water. However, he ignored his discomfort and ran to Li Shimin in a few steps, and knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I am following the order of the Marquis of Jingyang to turn back and report the victory in advance. Now Xinwan City has become a white land. Our army has killed 30,000 enemies, and our own family has only been injured by a hundred people."

"There will always be deaths in war. If you exchange a hundred lives for the Goryeo victory, the soldiers who died are all my heroes of the Tang Dynasty..." Li Shimin said lightly and waved his hand: "Li Chong, get up too, go change your clothes first, I'm waiting for you to tell the battle tonight in detail."

It turned out that the soldier who came back early to report was not someone else, but Li Chong, the leader of the Baiqisi. This man was born in a poor family, but he was very smart. Others were pleased with the emperor, so he hugged Han Yue's thigh tightly. As a result, the emperor admired him more and more. First he granted him the leader of the Baiqisi, and then gave him a title of a county man.

"Your Majesty, I am a member of the army. This little river water on me is nothing. Don't chase me and ask about the war. It's better to send a large army across the river and pick up the Marquis of Jingyang..."

Li Chong knelt on the ground and spoke loudly. His words were a little brainless. Li Shimin was shocked. Changsun's face turned pale. The couple said at the same time: "Can he be in danger?"

Fortunately, the emperor was calm whenever he was faced with major events. Changsun shook his whole body. She grabbed Li Chong, not caring about the harm between men and women, and shouted: "Explain it clearly to me, what's wrong with Yue'er?"

Baiqisi is the royal family's tyrant, and all kinds of private matters need not be concealed. The queen said "Yue'er". When Li Chong heard this, his face changed. He was the leader of Baiqisi and he was bound to the royal family for the rest of his life. Unless he committed suicide, he would have to be loyal to the royal family for the rest of his life.

"Tell me quickly, guy!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted and scolded: "Look at how anxious the queen is? What happened to the Marquis of Jingyang, why did I send troops to rescue me?"

Li Chong looked embarrassed and whispered: "Your Majesty, I was too anxious just now, and some words were not fulfilled..." He carefully broke free from Changsun's grasping hands and coughed lightly: "Marquis Jingyang asked you to send troops, not because you need rescue, but because you need to transport supplies..."

Li Shimin let out a light 'eh' and said in confusion: "Transport materials? What materials are transported?"

Li Chong said with joy and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, you would never have thought that Xinmaru City is not only a city of military rations, but also a city of tax collection in Goguryeo. Tonight we raided in and found that there were countless gold, silver and copper coins in the city. It turned out that they had just completed the autumn taxes, and the taxes from the entire northern territory of Goguryeo were collected in Xinmaru City and had not been transported to the Goryeo King Capital..."

Li Shimin was stunned and was stunned for a long time before he reacted and murmured: "This brat is really a deputy general, but he temporarily intends to attack and retaliate. He can actually encounter Goguryeo's tax payment. How much gold and silver are there in the city?"

Li Chong raised his two fingers tremblingly and said, "Two million guans of copper coins, forty boxes of gold, and five silver cars..." He looked at the emperor with a strange look, and then whispered: "In addition, there are more than a dozen cars of Laoshan ginseng and more than a dozen cars of high-end mink fur. The Jingyang Hou roughly estimates the price, saying that it will be worth millions of coins."

"Okay!" Li Shimin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "With this unexpected fortune, my national treasury will definitely be full."

This was the third year of Zhenguan, and the annual treasury of the Tang Dynasty was only five or six million. It was because the Central Plains suffered from war and chaos, and they have not recovered their vitality until now.

Compared with the Central Plains, Liaodong is extremely rich because it has always been away from war and the annual income of the national treasury has reached eight or nine million.

Tonight, Han Yue raided Xinmao City and happened to grab the northern taxes of Goguryeo. The north is the production of Goryeo, and the taxes account for almost two-thirds of the country. After calculation, he could grab two million copper coins, forty boxes of gold, and countless ginseng and mink furs.

This is a huge fortune, and it can cost five million yuan in rough calculations. No wonder the emperor was overjoyed.

Unfortunately, the queen suddenly broke the emperor with cold water. She whispered: "Your Majesty, tonight, Yue'er used his own private soldiers, and the money was his war money, so you can't reach out to him."

Li Shimin was stunned and suddenly said angrily: "I really regret it now. I shouldn't have given him private soldiers so early, five million ounces..."
