Chapter 108 Hue, sacrifice is sacrifice

The battle reports in Liaodong continued to be heard, and they were all news of great victory. Because the support and support of the surrender who was very appealing in Goryeo, the war progressed very smoothly. The city stationed by the Goryeo troops such as Xincheng, Nancang, Fuyu, and Anshi were successively captured by our Tang Dynasty, especially the surrender of the Anshi guards without fighting, which made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty full of the joy of victory.

When Emperor Taizong Li Shimin personally conquered Goryeo, he failed in front of Anshi. He had been conquering Anshi for a long time and finally had to withdraw his troops because of the cold weather. Later, he used troops against Goryeo several times, but Anshi failed to capture him. This was a pain and heart disease in the hearts of many Tang generals. Today, he finally occupied Anshi. Too many generals felt proud, and compared with the capture of Pyongyang!

Most of the main cities on the defense line of the Goryeo people in Liaodong were occupied by our Liaodong army, and many openings were torn open. If there were my follow-up army, we could go straight through these openings. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of troops in our Liaodong road have already penetrated into Goryeo, and there is no follow-up corps to enter near Anshi. In addition to the continuous good news from the Liaodong army, there were also news from the other two armies that the Hanshuidao army had seized several Goryeo cities. They did not fall in love with the battle, but rushed towards Goryeo.

The Pyongyang Road army had already fought with the Koryo Navy offshore. Our army had gained an overwhelming advantage and was ready to go up the Koryo Navy and attack Pyongyang after destroying the Koryo Navy.

Wu Zetian was even more happy to receive this news. Anshi fell into the hands of our army, which made her feel the extraordinary nature of this battle.

"Zi Ying, Anshi was occupied by our army!" Wu Zetian happily handed over the general report to Chen Yi who was called to the palace by her. "In the past, our army did not capture Anshi several times. This time it was a pleasant and congratulatory event. Haha, it seems that Goryeo is doomed this time!"

"Empress, the Goryeo people are at a loss, and they are not afraid of it. Pyongyang City can be broken when they are waiting for the day!" Chen Yi laughed and agreed. He did not think that Anshi City was captured by our Tang Dynasty, which indicates that the Goryeo war would definitely achieve full results. He knew that Goryeo was destroyed by our Tang Dynasty in history in recent years. He also had the suggestion of his time traveler, and several armies attacked Pyongyang separately. The date of Goryeo's destruction would only be advanced and would not be delayed. The gains and losses of Anshi were just a matter of great importance, and it had a greater psychological effect on both sides!

You should know that the Liaodong front is thousands of miles away from Pyongyang, and there are famous rivers such as Yalushui and Sashui along the way. If the Goryeo people strictly defended the dangerous edges of these rivers and used the natural barriers of the river to block our Tang army. Even if all the cities in the northeast area were captured in later generations, they might not be able to fight to Pyongyang. Wasn’t there a famous battle during the Sui Dynasty? The Sui army attacked near Sashui. As a result, they were ambushed by a famous Goryeo general. The losses were heavy, hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers were killed or injured or captured, and the Sui army was defeated. The Goryeo general who could not be named Chen Yi was later respected as a national hero of North Korea. There are streets named after this person in the capital of South Korea!

Chen Yi wanted to remind Wu Zetian not to be too optimistic, but he also knew that the energetic woman in front of him did not criticize the frontline war. In other words, even if she was proud now, as long as the generals who were commanding the battle in front were not blinded by victory. It would be fine if they were not made into dumplings by the Goryeo people. Let Wu Zetian, who was not completely aware of the dangerous obstacles in the Goryeo area, be proud!

As long as she can attack Silla, Chen Yi feels that it doesn’t matter if Wu Zetian shows up again!

After a last explanation about Silla, Wu Zetian seemed to be moved by him and agreed to think carefully. After the Battle of Goryeo ended, Silla would also take the opportunity to clean up. Chen Yi believed that Wu Zetian would consider this matter carefully and give some special gifts to the Silla people!

Didn’t Silla turn against the Tang Dynasty in the original history? War broke out between the two sides. Chen Yi felt that with him, a time traveler, we should avoid such a thing and put it in slaughter before the Silla people were full of strength!

After a while of joy at the sand table, Wu Zetian calmed down, glanced at Chen Yi twice, and said with a smile: "Ziying, Goryeo is not afraid of anything. In the future, our eyes should be turned to the northwest and focus on Qinghai and Anxi areas. We must find a way to eliminate the threat from the Tubo people. After a while, Duke Xing Guoliu Su Lie will come to the palace. Let's go to Your Majesty and talk about Qinghai!"

"Yes, Empress!" Chen Yi, who was overjoyed, immediately agreed. A few days ago, he also said that it would be great if he could discuss the Qinghai incident with Su Dingfang one day in front of the emperor and the queen. Unexpectedly, this wish would be realized in a few days. But he didn't know what the result of discussing Qinghai and Tubo today would be, and whether it would satisfy the famous general Su Dingfang.

Also, if the decision made by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian satisfy Su Dingfang, how did Su Dingfang evaluate the contributions made by him, the time traveler, and how would General Su, who was famous all over the world, view him?

Chen Yi cares very much about the attitude and views of these famous figures in history towards him. He hopes that his actions will be recognized and praised by everyone, of course, including these famous figures. Through these people's actions, the development of history will be influenced, and in the end he will also go to the center of the historical stage and direct the direction of the wheel of history!

Isn’t this what many time travel novels write about? The protagonist’s body was shocked and the turtle’s aura broke out. Those historical celebrities all bowed to him, but it seemed that he, the time traveler, had no protagonist’s aura. Until now, no one cried and shouted to bow to him, saying that he wanted to follow him, well, a little failed! But you can’t force too much, as it would be a bit satisfying to be recognized by famous historical figures!

While he was talking, the palace servant came to report that it was Duke Xing, Su Lie and his son, General Su Qingjie, who was asking for a visit outside.

"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!" Wu Zetian said to Chen Yi with a laugh, and immediately ordered the palace servants to call Su Dingfang and his son in.

"I have seen the Empress!" Su Dingfang and his son bowed to Wu Zetian respectively. Su Dingfang showed a surprised expression to Chen Yi beside Wu Zetian, but Su Dingfang did not look surprised, but just smiled at Chen Yi slightly without any strange expression.

"Two Su Aiqing, I have been quite touched when I heard what you said about Qinghai a few days ago," he turned to Chen Yi, looked at Chen Yi with a smile, and said again: "I have also heard a lot of discussions about the matter about Qinghai, and Your Majesty knows this! Your Majesty and I are both worried about the threats of the Tubo people in Qinghai, so today I will announce that you and your son will come to the palace to discuss the matter about Qinghai and the threats of the Tubo people. The two Su Aiqing, your son, will follow me to your Majesty to go to your Majesty. Let's talk about the issue in Qinghai in detail!"

As he said that, he walked outside without waiting for the few people to agree. Wu Tuaner, who was waiting on the side, quickly followed him to support him. Su Dingfang and his son, who were a little surprised, looked at each other and quickly followed him, and Chen Yi followed him out.

On the way to the Golden Palace where Li Zhi lived, Su Dingfang took a little slower step and whispered to Chen Yi who was walking behind him: "Zi Ying, I really didn't expect you to be able to touch the Queen, I admire you very much!"

This made Chen Yi a little proud. It seemed that he had helped Su Dingfang a favor, a very important person from the national level! Of course, he didn't know whether it was his point of view that motivated Wu Zetian or because of his special closeness that made Wu Zetian listen to his argument! But this was not important. As long as Wu Zetian attaches importance to Qinghai and faces the threat of the Tubo people, it would be enough. It would be possible to make the Tang Dynasty court pay attention to the threat of the Tubo people and take measures as soon as possible. Chen Yi felt that even if he sacrificed some of his sacrifices, such as his appearance, to impress Wu Zetian, he would be willing to do so!

Besides, the appearance is nothing, so just sacrifice is sacrificed!

What surprised Chen Yi was that a Qinghai sand table was placed in Li Zhi's Golden Palace. Later, he learned from Wu Zetian that this was specially ordered to work overnight. Because he started to work temporarily, he was not too fine, and the scales were not very strict, but it was almost enough.

Although he has been leading the war for many years and the days of the army have been more than Chen Yi's age, it was the first time Su Dingfang saw the new sand table. After entering the Golden Palace and saluting Li Zhi, he was immediately attracted by the exquisite sand table. The father and son were surprised and turned around there and pointed. As soon as they arrived at the Xianju Hall, they did not see the sand table about the situation in Goryeo, just because Wu Zetian placed the sand table in a relatively closed side room. If outsiders were not allowed to come in, they would not be able to see it!

The situation between the enemy and us on the sand table is at least still a military secret now!

"Su Aiqing, this is the sand table made according to Ziying's suggestion. This is the terrain of Qinghai. If you discuss the situation in Qinghai later, let's give advice on the sand table!" Although Wu Zetian said this to Su Dingfang, her eyes fell on Chen Yi, with a smile on her face.

Su Dingfang turned around and smiled at Chen Yi, his eyes full of admiration.

Indeed, he was full of favor for this young man who was quick-witted, very insightful in court affairs and military analysis.

After receiving the ceremony, Li Zhi ordered people to move the soft couch he was relying on to the sand table. Wu Zetian also sat down beside his soft couch, preparing to listen to Su Dingfang and his son and Chen Yi's story to discuss the matters in Qinghai and Tubo.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Tubo's nearly 200,000 troops were stationed on the west bank of Qinghai under Qinling and his brother Zanpo, and the former capital of Tuyuhun Kingdom is near Fuqi City..."

Of course, Su Dingfang, a famous general who had been in charge of Qinghai affairs for several years, first began to tell the situation in the Qinghai area and the entanglements of the struggles and entanglements with the Tubo people over the years! Chen Yi attacked the famous general when Su Dingfang talked, and inserted the small flags of different colors that marked the strength of both sides on the sand table. This insertion didn't matter, which scared everyone, including Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and Chen Yi. The 200,000 Tubo army gathered in Qinghai for a week, corresponding to our borders such as Shanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou. Because the scale of the sand table was small and the terrain was shrinking very much, just from the sand table, my border was almost next to the Tubo people's garrison. Just from the sand table, the two sides were in a state of imminent situation, which made Li Zhi and Wu Zetian nervous...
