"Pass my order, the city gate will be closed immediately, no entry and exit will be prohibited, the whole army will go to the city for defense, and then mobilize the people of the whole city to prepare for defense."

Pyongyang City, a gorgeous, majestic, tall hall of the imperial palace, sounded a majestic voice, only to see that on the main seat of the main hall, Liurong Wang Gao Jianwu quickly issued a defensive order, his medium stature, temples and beard black, a pair of blazing eyes majestic exposed, giving people a sense of dignity.

At this time, Goguryeo's second prime minister, Gao Yanshou, came out and said: "The king, the minister thinks it is likely to be the Sui army." ”

After Gao Jianwu listened, his face changed slightly: "Didn't the intelligence say that the main enemy of the Sui army was not Li Yuan in Turkic and Guanzhong?" Moreover, their number one enemy is the Turks, how can they still have the strength to attack our Goguryeo capital? ”

"Great King, Yang Dong is very good at trickery, the minister suspects that the Sui army's attack on the Turks is a strategy to confuse our suspicious soldiers, and more importantly, Silla has just suffered a crushing defeat, and they are now facing Baekje in the south of the peninsula, and they do not have the strength to attack us anyway, so the enemy can only be the Sui army." Gao Yanshou concluded.

Gao Jianwu's eyes were full of anxiety, and he walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and he didn't know what to do for a while, the navy army has now been wiped out, and there are only 30,000 troops in Pyongyang now, can it withstand the attack of the Sui army?

Gao Yanshou's status in Goguryeo is second only to Yuan Taizuo and Eulji Wende, and he is also one of Gao Jianwu's most relied on ministers, and in Goguryeo, he can be regarded as a person who is good at strategy.

It's just that this person is extremely arrogant and arrogant, and he looks down on Yuan Taizuo and Yizhi Wende at all.

It's mostly a matter of origin.

Goguryeo's domestic hierarchy is strict, the atmosphere of heavy families is more serious than the Central Plains, when the family invaded in the Sui Dynasty, by the order of Gao Yuan, each of them selected young and strong people from the people to form an army, in one battle after another, the strength of the family family was further enlarged, and they disobeyed Gao Jianwu Yang with weak prestige, which was also the biggest factor in Gao Jianwu's "cutting the domain".

The Goguryeo aristocracy was originally divided into five divisions: Juan Nu, Juan Nu, Shun Nu, Guan Nu, and Gui Lou, and according to the geographical distribution, they were also called the five major family communities of the interior, east, south, north, and west. The five largest tribes were divided into three ranks: the first was the Guilou tribe headed by the Gao royal family, the second rank was the Juan Nu tribe and the Juan Nu tribe, and the third rank was the Shun Nu tribe and the Bun Slave tribe.

The Yuan clan originally belonged to the Shunnu tribe in the third rank, and their status has always been the last of the family, but the Yuan clan emerged a stunning Yuanziyou, who took the opportunity of Yang Jian and Yang Guang's father and son's eastward crusade to control the real power of Goguryeo, and embezzled the power of the second level of Goguryeo's Juan Nu and Absolute Nu Clan.

Today's Goguryeo only has the royal Guilou Department, the Yuan Shunnu Department and the neutral Gunu Department, Gao Yanshou is currently the Guilou Ministry, and the Susa is the head of the family, which is equivalent to the patriarch and head of the family in the Central Plains.

The high-ranking and powerful Gao Yanshou has an instinctive rejection of the hostile Yuan clan and the Yizhi Wende who was born as a commoner but was deeply used by Gao Jianwu.

It's just that the Yuan family is in full swing in Goguryeo, and the Yuan family's head Yuan Taizuo's methods are extremely ruthless, so he has to maintain his superficial respect. And such a 'pariah' as Ezhi Wende is above himself, which has always been regarded as a great shame by Gao Yanshou.

Seeing Gao Jiande's anxiety at this time, Gao Yanshou felt that this was an opportunity for him to replace Yizhi Wende and become the king's first confidant: "King, the Sui army and the navy are coming to attack in a big way, and they must be prepared. The army of the national capital is empty, and this battle to defend the city will inevitably become very difficult, and the minister suggested that before the Sui army besieges the city, let Yizhi Wende send troops back to help, and then we should join forces with the outside and defeat the Sui army. ”

Gao Jianwu thought for a while and said: "The Sui army and the navy are attacking in a big way, presumably the reinforcements of the Sui army in Liaodong have also arrived, and the news that the national capital has been attacked will reach the front line, and the morale must have plummeted." If the army is transferred back, I am afraid that the front-line soldiers will not be able to withstand the attack of the Sui army! With the loss of Liaodong, we have lost too much natural danger, and the Sui army can completely pursue along the coast to Pyongyang! ”

"The more than 100,000 troops in Zhuhan City account for seventy percent of Goguryeo's strength, and once it is defeated, our Goguryeo will be finished, so the front-line army should not be dispatched! The city of Pyongyang seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is safer than the front line, because the city of Pyongyang is tall and strong, there is enough money and food, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in it. Wait for the battle report of the naval army first, and then mobilize the young people in the city to defend the city. ”

Gao Jianwu is also a person who knows the soldiers, and his arrangement

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the front of the palace and reported loudly: "King, urgent military situation, the Sui Dynasty naval army is attacking in a big way, and all the naval divisions of our army have been destroyed." ”

"What?" This earth-shattering news, like a thunderbolt from the sky, made the faces of the Wenchen generals in the hall show a look of shock.

"The Sui army's sailors have only arrived for a short time, how could my Goguryeo's more than 10,000 sailors be defeated so quickly? You actually reported the military situation indiscriminately, and there was no mercy for killing," said a tall young man in a fancy costume with cold eyes.

"My king, I have been wronged! Our navy was really wiped out. The scout was escorted down, but no one listened to him anymore.

Gao Jianwu felt a tearing pain coming from the bottom of his heart, and sat down on the couch: sure enough, it was the Sui Dynasty navy attacking, and his navy was wiped out in a short period of time.

"Great King, no matter how many enemies the Sui Dynasty has attacked, the country cannot make mistakes. The last general asked for orders, led his troops to meet the enemy, and took advantage of the landing of the Sui army to catch him off guard. A tall military general stood up, exuding an extraordinary momentum.

Gao Yanshou was also anxious, and said loudly: "King, make up your mind!" Otherwise, it will be too late. ”

Gao Jianwu sighed, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Second Prime Minister, I appoint you as the Taishou of Pyongyang, and the main task is to mobilize the young people in the city to defend the national capital, and at the same time be in charge of the affairs of the people. ”

"Whoa!" Gao Yanshou loudly should be.

"Uncle, so cowardly, where is my face in Goguryeo, we have 30,000 elite soldiers in the city, we can block 100,000 elites, and we are not afraid of the Sui army at all, I think General Liu is right, we should take the initiative to attack." When the young man heard Gao Jianwu's arrangement, he roared unwillingly.

"Shut up!" After Gao Jianwu scolded angrily, he waved his hand lightly, making the ministers quiet for a while.

He looked back at the aggrieved young man, with a hint of love in his eyes, this son's name is Gao Zang, and he is the son of his younger brother Gao Dayang: "Zang'er, you have extraordinary courage, and you are very pleased with your uncle, but you are too proud!" The Sui army was well-equipped and advanced, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops were wiped out, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will were not comparable to those of the Silla soldiers. ”

Gao Jianwu sighed and shook his head, his nephew has received a good education and has a good level in military affairs, but he is young and vigorous, arrogant and arrogant, and has the drive of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"Whoa!"

Gao Zang closed his mouth unconvinced, his eyes flashing with deep unwillingness.

Gao Jianwu said to the mighty general: "General Liu Cheng, the 30,000 essences in the city will be handed over to you, and the city defense of Pyongyang will be handled by you, and you must not go out of the city to fight." ”

Liu Cheng glanced at Gao Zang, hesitated a little, and finally said in a deep voice: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Gao Zang glanced at Liu Cheng with jealousy, and said nothing with an iron face.

Gao Jianwu said: "As for the rest of us to look at the situation, we can't be careless." Scatter the dynasty! ”

Just as everyone was about to leave, Gao Jianwu said again: "Liu Cheng, you stay." ”

Liu Cheng paused.

Gao Zang gritted his teeth and walked out of the main hall in a rage.

Liu Cheng sighed: "The king loves the last general, and the last general has nothing to repay, but I am afraid that it will make the little prince unhappy." ”

Gao Jianwu Tie blushed and snorted: "You are so young and ambitious, you want to run if you can't walk well, what can you do." My son was incompetent and incompetent, so he pinned the responsibility of the next generation of Goguryeo on him, but did not want to develop his arrogant temperament. Even if it is a genius, it must be tempered in order to shine. What's more, he only has a little talent, and he is far from being a genius, compared to the dazzling Yuan Gai Suwen, he is too far behind. Now among the generals in Pyongyang, you are the most calm and calm, if I don't hand over the four gates to you, who else can I give them to? Get ready for battle. ”

……

The news of the Sui army's invasion and the annihilation of the naval army soon spread throughout the city of Pyongyang, and the whole city fell into complete chaos, the streets were full of running soldiers, and all the civil and military officials in the city were dispatched, knocking on doors from house to house, mobilizing the young and strong people in the city to help defend the city.

A brave young man ran into a depressed tavern, and he pushed open the door to the tavern, which was now empty, and the shopkeeper was napping on the counter with his wrists propped.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind entered, and the shopkeeper shivered coldly, and said angrily: "What's the hurry, you kid?" ”

"Uncle Chen! Something big has happened! ”

"What?"

The heroic young man said lightly and quickly: "There is news from outside that the Goguryeo naval army was completely annihilated by my Great Sui naval army in Beishui. ”

The shopkeeper stood up suddenly, his lazy and lazy eyes brightened, "Really? ”

The shopkeeper's name is Chen Han, who was a survivor of the Battle of Sashui that year, in the tragic battle that year, the Great Sui lost more than 400,000 troops, of course, the lost army could not all be dead, take Zuo Tiancheng as an example, most of the thousands of people he collected were survivors of the Battle of Sashui!

The same is true for Chen Han and the youth of the dialogue.

However, Chen Han and Zuo Tiancheng's choice was different, the former escaped into the mountains and forests, while Chen Han and they mixed in with the various miscellaneous soldiers of Goguryeo, after they were disbanded, they secretly got together and opened a few shops in this relatively poor area for a living, they were headed by Chen Han, a total of more than 360 people, is a force to be reckoned with.

"This matter is not false at all, the civil and military officials of Goguryeo are now mobilizing from house to house, demanding that all young men must assist in defending the city!" The heroic young man whispered.

"This is our revenge for hundreds of thousands of comrades, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity to make contributions!" Chen Han said very excitedly.

The heroic young man said in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, what should we do?" ”

Chen Han pondered for a moment and said, "Since they mobilized the people of the whole city to help defend the city, there will definitely be a big chaos, and no one will know anyone at that time, so we will find a way to gather in one place." ”

The young man nodded, "That's it, I'll contact the brothers." ”

A fellow rushed to the scene and said loudly in fluent Fufu dialect: "Shopkeeper, a big official is here!" ”

Chen Han walked out quickly, only to see a civil official standing at the gate, he immediately saluted and said, "This official, do we want to help defend the city?" ”

The official said: "The king ordered all the young men in the city to participate in the defense of the city. ”

"This is the responsibility of the people of Dagoguryeo!" Chen Han said with a flattering smile: "The villain used to be a hundred generals, and many people around here are subordinates of the villain, otherwise, I will call everyone?" ”

"Very good, very good, this area will be handed over to you, let everyone go and get weapons as soon as possible." The officials were greatly satisfied, and all the people of Goguryeo were soldiers back then, and he did not doubt Chen Bo's words at all.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Han Liansheng should be.

After the official left, Chen Han said to the young man: "Let everyone come here, we don't have much time, and we will discuss a plan." ”
