Chapter 312 The Tang Dynasty God of War, Marching Alone Deep Into the Enemy Territory
Nanpu Port, the naval base of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, several bonfires had been lit in the camp, illuminating the entire naval camp. There were also officers and soldiers of the Tang Navy carrying torches, hurriedly passing through the camp, busy with the affairs at hand.
On the road from the Navy Camp to the Nanpu Port Pier, there were also groups of Datang Navy officers and soldiers holding torches passing by, transporting baggage, grain, equipment, war horses, etc. from the Navy fleet warships to the Navy Camp for distribution. Area storage.
Thanks to the hasty evacuation of the Goguryeo Navy stationed at Nanpo Port, there was no time to burn down the camp, which saved the Datang Navy fleet the time to rebuild the camp, and the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line could quickly rest and recover.
In the Chinese army's tent, the generals of the Datang Navy fleet gathered together to discuss the next combat operations.
As the pioneer general of the navy, Chen Longxiang was admired by many navy generals for his heroic performance on the battlefield today, and he was arranged to sit next to Qi Jiguang, the admiral of the navy and Duke of Dingguo.
At this time, under the greeting of Qi Jiguang, a group of naval generals were eating delicious roasted whole lamb and drinking strong Central Plains wine. They felt so cool and happy.
During the banquet, Qi Jiguang even took the initiative to raise his glass and publicly expressed that he would represent the 108,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy to pay tribute to the pioneer general Chen Longxiang who made the first contribution in this battle.
Qi Jiguang said: "Come on, all soldiers, raise the wine bowls in your hands!"
brush!
After giving the order, all the Tang Navy naval generals in the Chinese army's tent raised their bowls filled with strong liquor in front of them, waiting for the next speech by Navy Admiral Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang continued: "With this bowl of wine, let us jointly pay tribute to our pioneer general of the Tang Dynasty Navy, Chen Longxiang!"
"Today, if General Chen had not taken the lead and charged into the Goguryeo Navy formation alone, tearing a bloody path for the vanguard of our Datang Navy;"
"Tonight, I'm afraid we can't spend the night in the Goguryeo navy camp, let alone eat meat and drink wine in such a good mood;"
"This bowl of wine is dedicated to General Chen!"
With that said, Qi Jiguang stood up with the wine bowl and took the initiative to touch Chen Longxiang.
Seeing this, the other navy generals also raised their wine bowls and shouted in unison: "Respect General Chen!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
Next, everyone raised their necks and drank the wine in the bowl happily.
Chen Longxiang, who was too drunk, was already a little dizzy from drinking, but he still tried his best to control himself from getting drunk and enjoyed this unique highlight moment for him.
At this time, Chen Longxiang wanted to say something to his eldest brother Chen Huaian, who had ascended the throne: Brother, do you see that we have not embarrassed my father, nor you, nor our Jin Palace?
On today's battlefield, the young pioneer general Chen Longxiang held his breath and wanted to prove that he was qualified to inherit the title of King of Jin and to wear that set of golden armor!
In fact, he did it.
However, Chen Longxiang felt that he had not done better. His goal was to attack Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo, as a pioneer commander of the Tang Dynasty navy, and kill all the Goguryeo princes and nobles in the city;
Then, as the Jin King of the Tang Dynasty, he personally took Xiao Lingwu's hand and helped him to the throne in the main hall of the Goguryeo Palace!
While Chen Longxiang was imagining that he could personally support the new generation of Korean kings with the help of wine, Qi Jiguang, Duke of Dingguo here, was also continuing to talk.
Qi Jiguang said: "Everyone, in the battle at Nanpu Port, our Tang navy fleet won a complete victory. My general has sent messengers to convey the news of the victory at Nanpu Port by water and land, and rushed it to the Imperial City of Jinling for 800 miles. "
"Next, we just need to stay at Nanpu Port and wait for help, waiting for the emperor's next order!"
"General, don't—"
Suddenly, Chen Longxiang, who was red-faced and drunk, stood up with a wine jar, stood in front of Qi Jiguang and burped with wine: "General, the last general, the last general thinks that we, the Tang Dynasty Navy, should take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo!"
"The last general, the last general is willing to lead 20,000 naval vanguards to Huanglong and conquer Pyongyang..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Longxiang, who was too drunk, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell down.
"General Chen——"
Fortunately, the Deputy Admiral of the Tang Dynasty Navy and Marquis of Tongwu, Yuan Kai, standing next to him, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped Chen Long, who was drunk and unconscious.
Otherwise, Chen Longxiang would probably have to knock himself down on the sharp corner of the desk.
Looking at Chen Longxiang who was drunk, Qi Jiguang, Duke of Dingguo, couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that His Highness, Prince Jin, was good at everything, but he was a bit young and energetic, he was very fond of achievements and warlike.
But then again, how can one be called a young man if he is not full of energy?
What's more, he is a young general with outstanding strength and unparalleled bravery in the army. I guess he is also eager to prove himself in front of the emperor!
Qi Jiguang waved his hand and signaled his deputy Yuan Kai to take the drunk Jin King Chen Longxiang down to rest.
The celebration banquet also ended when the protagonist Chen Longxiang became drunk. The naval generals in the Chinese army's tent had no choice but to return to their respective camps to rest.
Qi Jiguang, who was left alone in the Chinese army's tent, had to start thinking again about whether to report the unclear and unexplained relationship between the young Jin King Chen Longxiang and the former Queen Su Waner to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian.
Qi Jiguang is such a smart person. He naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Longxiang's words just before he fell drunk.
This young Prince Jin wanted to completely destroy Goguryeo before Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian issued an order!
And the reason why he did this was obviously to clear obstacles for the former deposed Emperor Chen Lingwu and help Chen Lingwu ascend to the position of the King of Goguryeo.
Qi Jiguang knew the whole story.
Including the fact that Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian spared the lives of the former Empress Su Wan'er and the deposed Emperor Zhao Lingwu, and also adopted Zhao Lingwu as his adopted son and renamed him Chen Lingwu, promising to let him go to Goguryeo to be a rich man.
But all this became uncontrollable with the appearance of Chen Longxiang, the Prince of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, who was sent to the navy for training.
Qi Jiguang was absolutely loyal to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, and naturally had to follow the opinions of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian in dealing with Goguryeo.
What he was worried about was that if before the imperial edict of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian arrived, this Jin Wang Chen Longxiang would directly support the former deposed emperor Chen Lingwu to the position of Goryeo King.
At that time, if all that Jin Wang Chen Longxiang did was contrary to the opinion of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, Qi Jiguang would be caught between the two brothers and his life would be difficult.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang took the initiative to reveal to Chen Longxiang at the celebration banquet tonight that the army's next move would have to wait for the order of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian.
Who would have thought that Jin Wang Chen Longxiang actually asked for orders in person to take the initiative to lead 20,000 naval vanguards to attack Huanglong and capture Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
This is not a good sign!
Oh——
Qi Jiguang, who was upset, could not think of any good solution for the time being, so he had to sigh and fall asleep on the bed in the central army tent.
The next day.
On the sea level outside Nanpu Port, when the rising sun just climbed up from the sea level, Qi Jiguang was awakened by his deputy general Yuan Kai in a panic.
"General, something bad has happened!"
Yuan Kai rushed into Qi Jiguang's tent out of breath and said with a heavy breath: "Jin, Your Highness, before dawn, he led 20,000 vanguards along the Taedong River to the east and headed for Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo!"
"What did you say?"
