Chapter 39 Silla (IV)

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and I don’t know the year after the cold is over.

In the blink of an eye, it had been seven or eight days since Zheng Yanqing entered the mountain. Zheng Hongyi and Shen Guang went to Mujin Town to find out the news, but they never returned and there was no news.

In the first few days, Zheng Yanqing was able to calm down.

As time passed, Yan Qing began to get irritated.

Dou Xiaowen and the other two hid in the mountain pass, and their range of movement was very small. They did not dare to leave the five miles away from the mountain pass, so as not to be noticed. Although on the surface, the Han people were somewhat similar to the Goguryeo and even the Silla people. If you observe carefully, you will still find some differences.

The Goguryeo people adhere to the blood of the Liaodong Mai people and are quite similar to the Mai people.

He is relatively tall, has relatively fair skin, slightly tall cheekbones, and a slightly curly hair bun; while the Silla people have a pancake face, a flat face, short head, a little dark skin, small eyes, a collapsed nose bridge, single eyelids... and so on, you can see the clues at a glance.

Dou Xiaowen and others did not know Goguryeo, and because of their appearance, they did not dare to stay away from the mountain pass.

As for Zheng Hongyi, he was able to speak fluent Goguryeo and was protected by Shen Guang, so Zheng Yanqing was not very worried.

But it would be fine if it was a day or two, but Zheng Hongyi and the others left for seven or eight days.

Zheng Yanqing and Xie Ke were both worried, worried about what accidents they would have in Mujin Town. Chen Guang was calm and had a strong martial arts skills, and Yan Qing was not worried. However, Zheng Hongyi was born in a noble family and was spoiled since childhood. If a young master had a temper, he would definitely cause trouble. Zheng Yanqing always thought of this and became more and more restless. On several occasions, he even wanted to go to Mujin Town to inquire.

However, she was finally stopped by Xie Ke.

The eighth year of Daye, the season of summer.

The scorching heat is about to pass, and the season is also ushering in the "remaining clouds to harvest summer heat, and new rain brings autumn mist". The summer on the Korean Peninsula is not long, and during the Fangji Festival, the temperature at night has begun to drop, with some traces of autumn.

The battle situation in Liaodong is still in a stalemate.

At a suitable time, in a suitable place, in the right way, but by an inappropriate person.

Things that should have been easy to do have become a little complicated. The three cities in Liaodong repeatedly used the nature of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to be very fond of merit to make the war more confusing. The Turkic Khan, who had come to watch the battle with him, seemed to have undergone some changes. When the war was in the third month, Duji and Tuo Boya said goodbye and left.

It was early June and it was light rain.

Li Yuan, the young supervisor in the hall, took his eldest son Jiancheng, left Huaiyuan Town, and quietly came to the bank of the Liaoshui River.

From a distance, I saw a carriage parked by the river. More than a hundred soldiers guarding him. Seeing Li Yuan arrive, the soldiers scattered and gave up a path.

With a curtain of a car, a handsome young man walked down the carriage.

Li Yuan held the war horse and slammed the saddle. The young man took two steps quickly, walked forward, grabbed the reins and smiled brightly.

"Li Shaojian is here to come to the appointment today, and the real scholar is lucky."

"Yuwen Fengyu is polite."

The young man was named Yu Wen Shiji, who was the second son of Yu Wenshu and his brother of Yu Wenji. At the same time, he was also the son-in-law of the current dynasty and married Princess Nanyang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and was very favored by Yang Guang.

He was appointed as the emperor in the hall and was under the command of Li Yuan.

But Li Yuan did not regard him as a humble person. On the contrary, he treated Yu Wenshi and his friends as if they were forgot about their age.

"Yuwen Fengyu invited Li Yuan to come, I wonder what to do?"

"I just got the news that His Majesty's flying yellow stable horse was ambushed by Yang Gongqing, a bandit in Taihang Mountains, and was robbed all over."

Li Yuan's pupils shrank in his eyes, and his face showed a look of shock.

"Bandits are so arrogant?"

"It is reported that the Wuyang County Chief Yuan Baozang sent troops to chase and suppress the attack, but was defeated by Yang Gongqing... Now, there are many bandits in Hebei Province, first Sun Anzu rebelled in Gaojipo, and then Gao Shida raised an army. The entire Hebei Province has become a chaotic group, and Shandong Province is also worried... His Majesty does not care about this, and he is blindly in Liaodong and is bound to fight against the Goguryeo people in a city and a place. After a long time, he is afraid that there will be greater chaos.

I am asking my brother to discuss this matter with me.”

Li Yuan looked confused, "Your Majesty wants to boost the might of the heavenly dynasty and educate the barbarians with a kind heart. Although the war is unfavorable, victory is just around the corner.

Feng Yu was a little exaggerated... In my opinion, the bandits of Hebei Road or Shandong Road are just tinea dysfunction after all."

Yu Wen Ji couldn't help but be anxious, "A thousand-mile dike collapsed from an ant hole. Doesn't the Duke know this?"

"I know what, and I don't know what?"

Li Yuan held an oil-paper umbrella and walked onto the river embankment with Yu Wen. "Now your majesty is in great power. Yu Zhongwen and Ling Zunye have crossed the Yalu River and advanced towards Pyongyang. Although Hu'er had a small defeat before, he did not hurt his vitality. In my opinion, this battle will not take too long and will definitely end."

Yu Wenshi said, "Whoever wins and loses?"

"The winner cannot win, and the loser does not lose..."

Li Yuan smiled, "How can you tell the difference between victory and defeat so simply? Your Majesty has a clear understanding of this matter. Please do not say it again after the imperial examination."

One sentence has shown his attitude.

I don’t want to talk about the war in Liaodong anymore, I just need to do my duty.

And perhaps only Li Yuan and Yu Wenshi knew the deeper meaning. The two looked at each other, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

Standing on the river bank, Yu Wenshi suddenly said, "I heard that Shangshu Yang has been in Chang'an recently, and he is quite active?"

"Shangshu Yang was the Minister of Rites and was known for his respect for the wise and inferior people... When Duke Chu was alive, his disciples and former officials were everywhere in the world. It was normal for Secretary Yang to go around more."

The Yang Shangshu mentioned by Yu Wenshi and Li Yuan were Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Chu.

After Yang Su passed away, Yang Xuangan was appointed as the Minister of Rites and stayed in Chang'an.

Yu Wenshi said: "Honghua left behind is still vacant now, why don't the Duke of the State ask for it?"

"Shangshu Yang has not been allowed to report his brother to take office as the position of Honghua. Judging from His Majesty's intention, he seems quite satisfied. I'm afraid it's not easy."

Li Yuan was quite moved.

He is the young supervisor in the hall and seems to be incredible.

However, Yang Guang was no longer Chang'an for a long time. He, a young man, had a reputation but no real power. Before this time, Li Yuan had the intention to transfer away. However, he was unable to find a suitable opportunity. In addition, Yang Guang was also somewhat suspicious of him and never dared to mention it.

Yu Wenshi said: "If the Duke of the Kingdom will not abandon the bitter and cold, the scholar will be willing to recommend it to Your Majesty.

Although Yang Xuanting has guaranteed to report to his brother, His Majesty has not made a decision yet. As long as there is a little operation, this matter will not be too difficult."

"So, I am very grateful."

Li Yuan bowed to the escort Yu Wenji to thank him, while Yu Wenji showed a faint smile on his face.

There was no need to say it too clearly. Yu Wenshi knew that Li Yuan had already recorded his favor. The two chatted for a while and bowed to say goodbye.

As soon as he sat down, Li Jiancheng asked, "Father, Yuwen Fengyu was suddenly so enthusiastic, what's the purpose?"

Li Yuan smiled without answering.

In the distance, Yu Wenshi's carriages gradually drifted away and finally disappeared.

Li Yuan turned his horse's head and suddenly asked, "Vishaman, will the matter I want you to inquire will have any results?"

Li Jiancheng quickly replied: "I have sent someone to Donglai County to inquire... But I heard that General Lai Hu'er has been arrested and detained by His Majesty. The army is entirely under the charge of General Zhou Fashang Zhou. General Zhou has not returned yet, so the news about Zheng Yanqing has not been discovered.

The child ordered people to stay in Ye County. Once there was a reply, he would definitely get the news immediately."

He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Father, Zheng Yanqing, it's really..."

Li Yuan nodded, "Mo Fule has found out clearly that Zheng Yanqing was adopted by Zheng Shi'an outside Sishui Pass. It happened to be the same day as your Ninth Uncle's family was in Zhuo County. This time, Mo Fule happened to meet Ning Changzhen. When he mentioned Yan Hu by chance, Ning Changzhen explained after drinking. Yan Hu hugged your Ninth Uncle's son and broke through the surrounding mountains that day, he fled to the direction of Sishui Pass.

Although I don’t know what happened, I guess it was when Yan Hu broke through the siege and was worried about an accident, so he hid him on the side of the road. It happened that Zheng Renji returned to Xingyang and passed by the local area and adopted Zheng Yanqing... There are too many coincidences in this matter. If Zheng Yanqing was not your ninth uncle's son, how could this be? I have sent someone to Pingliang to try to contact your ninth uncle. If Zheng Yanqing is really your ninth uncle's flesh and blood..."

Li Yuan smiled and Li Jianzhen reacted.

"Don't worry, my father will treat Yanqing well."

"Let's go, it's getting late... You will have to supervise the transportation of a batch of grain and grass to the city of Liaodong tomorrow. I don't know when this war will end?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he beat the horse and whipped it.

Li Jiancheng's eyes rolled, his mouth curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In early June, Yu Zhong and Wen Shu led nine troops to a total of 305,000 troops across the Yalu River and rushed to the Sashui River.

At the same time, Zheng Yanqing lived like years in Taibai Mountain, anxiously waiting for Zheng Hongyi's news. He simply had enough food and grass, so there was no need to worry. But such a waiting was indeed a torment. In Zheng Yanqing's eyes, ten days were like ten years long.

In the evening of the tenth day, Zheng Yanqing was talking to Xie Ke.

Suddenly, when he heard the noise of riots outside the cave, Yan Qing and Xie Ke quickly got up and walked out of the cave.

Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling, surrounded by Zheng Hongyi and Shen Guang, hurriedly walked over. Behind Chen Guang, there was a divine war horse, and a sack was held on the horse's back. When the two saw Zheng Yanqing, they hurriedly walked up to him and intervened in the salute.

"Yanqing, we are back!"

Zheng Yanqing let out a long sigh of relief, hugged Zheng Hongyi and Chen Guang twice, and then asked, "Why have you been away for so long? I thought you were in Mujin Town. If you don't come back, I will take people to Mujin Town and his party."

"No!"

Zheng Hongyi hurriedly said: "The Silla people are in Hibiscus Town, and have set up a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for us to go.

After I found out the news, the Goguryeo people warned Silla King Jin Bojing that if they dared to take us in, or let us pass through Silla, they would siege Silla... Therefore, Jin Bojing sent the Hualang Dao general Kim Yuxin to lead 5,000 Silla soldiers to ambush around Muji Town. As soon as we appeared, they would immediately take us down... The Goguryeo people said, "No matter how alive or dead they were."

Zheng Yanqing took a deep breath, and at the same time he felt secretly grateful.

Fortunately, I have become more concise, otherwise I would have become a dead body now.

Chen Guang said: "After I learned the news, I was going to go back to the mountain to report. Unexpectedly, Mujin Town suddenly had martial law. After we inquired, we found out that Kim Bojing seemed to be uneasy about Kim Yu-shin, so he ordered his daughter Kim Deman and led the Hanang Samurai to Mujin Town to assist Kim Yu-shin.
