In the imperial palace in Chang'an City, Emperor Li Er has not been asleep for many days. Since Wei Zheng sent 800 miles to speed up, he explained that Goguryeo sent troops to invade and intended to steal food from Hebei Road. If such a thing happened, how could the emperor still sit still?

The civil and military officials immediately summoned to discuss emergency response, but the plague on Hebei Road has not been eliminated and he dared not enter the battle in large quantities. He could only mobilize garrisons from Hedong Road and Henan Road to rescue him.

Combined with the troops from Hebei Road, Hedong Road and Henan Road, plus the 5,000 people brought by Yuchi Gong, a total of only 50,000 troops were fighting against the enemy Goguryeo, so the number of people in the Tang Dynasty was not superior in this battle.

Of course, the military is well-equipped and the logistics supply is definitely better than Goguryeo, so there is no problem driving Goguryeo out as soon as the army arrives.

But Li Er was worried about time. It took more than ten days for the army from three places to gather. Goguryeo almost started to harvest summer grain. When the food was obtained, it would be useless even if the Tang Dynasty drove their troops out.

"Hebei Victory, Hebei Victory!" A long horn came from outside the palace gate, and at the same time, a burst of lively sounds were heard in Chang'an City, and Li Er from the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace could hear it vaguely.

He frowned and asked the eunuch next to him, "What kind of victory did I vaguely hear? But did I have auditory hallucinations?"

The eunuch Gao's eyes lit up and said in surprise: "No, I heard it, and I thought it was hallucination and I didn't dare to speak. Now it seems that it is not. It is indeed someone calling for a victory. Your Majesty, is it that the war in Hebei is settled?"

"Quick, go and check it quickly." Li Er ordered anxiously, and as he watched the eunuch rush out quickly, he murmured to himself as he looked outside the door, "How long has it been? I'm afraid the 50,000 troops have just gathered together. Could it be that their soldiers are very fast and they will decide the outcome in one battle?"

Soon, the eunuch Lao Gao brought in a messenger carrying a bag. The man respectfully saluted and untied the bag on his body and handed it to the eunuch Lao Gao: "Your Majesty, Hebei is a great victory. General Yuchi and Xuanjia Army successfully attacked. He captured 50,000 troops alive with more than 10,000 troops. Later, he pursued the enemy navy on the east coast and forced him away. The danger in Hebei has been lifted.

When the last general set out to send the order, the army of Hedong and Henan roads had already joined forces, and several generals were sending troops to the east to take back Yingzhou and Guan Pass."

Listening to the description of the messenger, Li Er was stunned and looked at the other party in disbelief, "How is this possible? More than 10,000? Break 50,000 enemies? Or capture them all alive? This is absolutely impossible."

The soldiers looked solemn, knelt on one knee and punched their right fist on their chest, and shouted: "Your Majesty, every word you say is true, but there is half a false statement, and you will die immediately."

The eunuch Gao handed over the good news from the bag and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no one dared to lie about military information at 800 miles."

Li Er came back to his senses and quickly changed his words: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised. It's not that I don't trust you, get up quickly and tell me in detail how you fought such a beautiful battle?"

With Yuchi Gong's detailed report in the letter and the detailed description of the messenger, Li Er was like listening to the story in an immersive way, applauding repeatedly, and his whole body exuded a sense of pleasure.

"Come here, reward! One official promotion, one bonus of ten taels, and one cart of silk.

In addition, Qianli sent a message must be exhausted, so take it to eat, drink and rest first."

The man was grateful to go out and Li Er's heartfelt laughter came from far away from the Tai Chi Hall, "Come here, I'll send a small dynasty meeting in the Political Affairs Hall."

Generally, the dynasty meetings in Chang'an have official positions, and officials who have reached the rank must attend. The dynasty meetings will be held every ten days. The dynasty meetings in the Constitution Hall are the most core officials who participate, and they are more frequent than the dynasty meetings.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Du Shaoqing was not only talented and capable of disaster relief and governance, but this time he came to a single cavalry to kick the camp. His courage was no less than Shubao. It really made me look at him with admiration." Li Er said with a smile.

When the eunuch saw the emperor in a good mood, he followed him and said, "Your Majesty, you asked Dr. Du to ask him to govern the country and maintain martial arts. Now it seems that our Tang Dynasty is probably going to really create a great talent to stabilize the country and ensure stability."

Oh? Li Er raised his eyebrows and mentioned the kid's marriage with his daughter. Li Er was confused for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "It's too early to say it, it's too early to say it."

After discussing the affairs hall, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites Wang Si immediately rushed to Hebei Road to deal with the diplomatic affairs of the prisoners. He must sternly order Goguryeo to apologize for the vicious plan to invade the Tang Dynasty.

As a state of the Celestial Empire, it should have the majesty and demeanor of a great country. The unreasonable invasion of the small state of Goguryeo must apologize. If the king of the country does not make a statement and asks for peace or even surrender, it will definitely not work. This is etiquette.

But is this all over? Yes, this is the result of all the issues in the Political Consultation Hall. As a country above the Celestial Empire, one must naturally have the spirit of being benevolent and righteous, and rule the country with the rule of the world. Except for dealing with Jie Li, who was mortal enemy of the Eastern Turks, it seems that he is tolerant of other neighbors.

However, the emperor and others did not expect that there was no need to wait until Wang Si passed by, because Yuchi Gong, Wei Zheng and others in front had been fooled by Du Shaoqing.

Yuchi Gong said that he could kill the 50,000 executioners who robbed grain directly, but Wei Zheng said that killing prisoners would ruin the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. He would negotiate with the other party, hand over the land of aggression, and then wrote a letter to bow his head to admit his mistake, so we let the 50,000 people go.

When Du Shaoqing heard this, he said, "How can it be so cheap?" He must not let them cede land and pay compensation for compensation.

Cut land and pay compensation? This word sounds so fresh. Wei Zheng, Yuchi Gong, Li Ke, Liu Hongji and others all looked at the miracle doctor.

"The Goguryeo people came to my Tang Dynasty to burn, kill and loot. Could it be that the other party apologized with a document? We are going to send these murderers back?" Du Shaoqing asked back.

Yuchi Gong also said indignantly: "I wish I could kill all these thieves, but I cannot kill prisoners at will on the battlefield, so I have to take responsibility."

Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not OK to kill, it's too cheap for these murderers.

Detaining these 50,000 people, Goguryeo asked for compensation, and the compensation for burning, killing, looting, and looting Hebei Road must be a huge amount.

Destroy my fertile land and steal life-saving food for the people for the winter. So in addition to compensation, they also have to compensate the people of Hebei Province for the damaged food. This is also written in more detail.

In addition, if we launch plague and capture our Yingzhou Pass, these two crimes are unforgivable, so they have to ced a piece of our place as compensation.

That’s all for the time being, this is the compensation for land cedes.”

Liu Hongji asked, "They won't give it to you. I know that the Goguryeo people are all rogues. When will they admit the account?"

"Not giving it to me? We will have a reason and evidence to kill these 50,000 people." Du Shaoqing was full of murderous aura.

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Doing this is not in accordance with etiquette and law, which will damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't it make people say that our Tang Dynasty bullies small countries and weak countries? It will be unfavorable for diplomatic relations in the future."
