Chapter 891: Making Up for the Dead
Yeluyuan prefers the kind of endless grassland, where he can indulge in galloping, feel the freedom of the wind, and there is a feeling of joy in fighting with the enemy, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can decide the winner in a very short time. He hated being like this, burrowing through the dense forest, climbing up one mountain, only to see another mountain in front of him, just coming out of one ravine, but having to burrow into another.
In this deep mountain and old forest, he has been entangled with the main force of Tan Daoji for a long time.
Yeluyuan's command, of course, is not only cavalry. It's just that his own army is all cavalry, and cavalry is also the foundation of his life. And now, he could only leave his main cavalry force outside the mountain, and pursued Tan Daoji with foot soldiers and part of the Goguryeo imperial army.
Speaking of which, although Tan Daoji has received strong funding from the Tang Dynasty, with only silver and ordnance, the battle is still not necessarily won. Compared with the fierce Liao army, the quality of Goguryeo's soldiers is really invisible. Most of them were made up of the kind of farmers who had just laid down their arms.
After all these years of fighting, the quality of Tan Daoji's soldiers has finally risen to a certain extent, after all, the weak ones have all been killed.
With the years of war in Goguryeo and Zhang Zhongwu's ruthless exploitation of Goguryeo, there are more and more Goryeo people who follow Tan Dao Ji, and many big Goguryeo families, gentry and people of insight have also joined Tan Dao Ji's camp. Over the years, they have realized that Zhang Zhongwu is pushing Goguryeo to a dead end.
Zhang Zhongwu is purely a kind of chicken-killing and egg-taking exploitation for Goguryeo, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Goguryeo people at all. For Zhang Zhongwu, the Goguryeo people were nothing more than a herd of two-legged sheep that created wealth for him.
Zhang Zhongwu had a sense of urgency.
This sense of urgency comes from Li Ze's pace of unifying the world. Once Li Ze dominates the world, then he will never tolerate Zhang Zhongwu's bias. Therefore, Zhang Zhongwu needed to use the fastest speed to enhance his strength and strengthen his military equipment, and for Liaodi, if he exploited too much, it might cause rebellion everywhere and endanger his rule, so it became an inevitable choice to exploit Goguryeo.
In Zhang Zhongwu's heart, or wait until he defeats Li Ze, just turn his head and appease Goguryeo again. Now, it should be everyone's consensus to overcome the difficulties together.
Zhang Zhongwu thought so, but Goguryeo's lord Lee Jae-do and the state minister Tan Daoji didn't think so.
Although the two men were still in a state of hostility, as the form of Goguryeo deteriorated further, the two finally sat down and prepared to discuss the future in peace.
This was also facilitated by the secret envoys specially sent by the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zaidao and Tan Daoji want to make peace, which is naturally not in the interests of Zhang Zhongwu. Therefore, after perceiving this danger, Jang Chung-woo, the son of Jang Chung-wu and the governor of Goguryeo, immediately intensified his attack on Tan Dao-je. For Zhang Chengyou, things are very simple, don't you want to talk about it? I beat your side to the point that you are not even qualified to talk, and see how you can negotiate the peace of Goguryeo on an equal footing with Lee Jae-do.
Li Zaidao is disobedient, so it's better to change the country's lord.
This is the reason why Yelu Yuan now has to chase Tan Daoji to drill in the ravine.
In a frontal decisive battle, Tan Daoji was not the opponent of the Liao army, but he was handy in drilling ravines and ravines to fight guerrillas.
Yeluyuan didn't have any fighting spirit at all.
Taking advantage of this continuous rain, he completely stopped the pace of attacking.
Now he doesn't care about Zhang's father and son at all, because he feels that he has found a better seed. If it was in Liaodi, he Yeluyuan was indeed just a dog of Zhang Zhongwu, but in Goguryeo, the strength he now has is no less than that of Zhang Chengyou. When the other party relies on him, there are many more!
Sitting cross-legged on a small pony, looking at Gu Han on the opposite side, he almost took off his clothes without regard to his image, and then roasted them on the edge of the fire.
Speaking of which, Ye Luyuan still admires a guy like Gu Han, although this guy has read a lot of books, but he doesn't have the sour smell of Goguryeo literati at all, just the so-called kind of person who can write gorgeous articles when he picks up his pen, and can cut the enemy into a blur of flesh and blood when he catches a knife.
Talking to the literati, this guy knows the lotus flower, and when he deals with martial artists, he is a reckless image again.
If the people from Wuwei Academy were like Gu Han, it was no wonder that Li Ze was able to rise rapidly in such a short period of time. Politics, in the final analysis, is still a process of employing people.
Those who are good at fighting have no great feats.
Gu Han is such a typical person, there are almost few people outside who have heard of his name, and even in a place like Wuyi, there are very few people who know his name. But Yeluyuan knew about this person.
I think that in the original battle of Pingzhou, it was this guy in front of him, with one mouth, that made Deng Jingshan finally give up tens of thousands of subordinates, and only withdrew from the battlefield with his own army, and after going back, he killed Liu Siyuan's family cleanly.
And now, this guy is in Goguryeo again.
Gu Han, who was only wearing a pair of calf-nosed shorts, revealing his hairy chest on his chest, had muscles on his body piece by piece, no better than Ye Luyuan, a person who relied on martial arts to eat. In front of Yeluyuan, he seemed to have no scruples. He took the wine jug handed over by Yeluyuan with one hand, hooked a package at his feet with the other, took out an envelope wrapped in oiled paper from it, and handed it to Yeluyuan: "Your son Yeluchengfeng's letter to you." ”
If Ye Luyuan, who has obtained the treasure, takes the letter, but he is not in a hurry to open it, he hopes that when there is no one, he can quietly enjoy the process of reading the letter from home.
"Chengfeng, how is he?"
"Okay!" Gu Han poured a few sips of wine, "This kid is worthy of your species, as an officer in the Yeluqi army, he must take the lead in every battle, in the battle that entered the balance, he was the first to break through the city with a full body of feather arrows, and now he has been promoted to a tooth general." ”
The muscles on Ye Luyuan's face twitched a few times, although it was said that the generals had almost no other path than to gain fame by fighting bravely and making meritorious achievements, but when it was really his son's turn to be born and die, he still felt palpitations and heartache. Nothing is impossible on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, it will be a mistake that will be hated for thousands of years. The mortality rate of middle and low-ranking officers has always been the highest in the army.
"This place is really not for people." After taking a few sips of wine, Gu Han shook his head and said, "You are really good, in this place, you have been staying for so many years, compared to Yeluqi, you are really too bad." That boy, when he is not at war now, he is happy. When I came over this time, I also went to see his son Yelu Fengze, tsk, quite a nobleman, waving his hands, majestic. It cost me hundreds of silver dollars to entertain me for a meal, which made me a little afraid to eat. The beautiful singers below, the wine and food above, and the Yeluqi family can be regarded as boiling out. In the future, it will be a famous family. ”
Yelu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do?" Isn't this just because I want to change my life for myself, so I threw myself at you? ”
"You're on the right track." Gu Han said: "Yelu Qi used to be similar to you, but now, their family no longer needs to lick blood on the head of the knife to beg for a living, Yelu Fengze's current pomp is too big." Yelu Yuan, to put it mildly, your son is like a little follower in front of Yelu Fengze. ”
Yeluyuan's heart twitched in pain.
"But it's never too late to catch up!" Gu Han grinned and said, "If it works out this time, of course you will take the first credit." When the time comes, high-ranking officials will be indispensable to you. ”
"Is Jerichie okay with my son?"
Gu Han glanced at the other party strangely, "It's not bad." But it's probably me who is better for your son, right? ”
"What does this have to do with you?" Yeluyuan's eyes widened.
"Although I have only met your son once, but at first sight, we talked very happily, I like him, very simple, unlike Yelu Fengze, talking to him, I don't know how many of the ten sentences are true." Gu Han smiled: "So, I helped him find a family business." The woman's family is illustrious, her father is a state assassin, and her brother is an assistant in the criminal department. In the family letter, Cheng Feng should have told you, right? ”
Yelu Yuan never expected such a thing, and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. However, this is indeed a good thing for him, and being able to marry an official of the Tang Dynasty will also be beneficial to improving his status in the future.
"In the future, you don't have to rely too much on Yeluqi's father and son!" Gu Han said with a smile. "But the woman's family also has requirements, the other party doesn't care about the dowry, but asks Chengfeng to at least become a ranger general before he can welcome his wife."
"Thank you, Brother Gu, for your success!" Ye Luyuan sincerely thanked him.
"No thanks, no thanks!" Gu Han said with a smile: "This time I came over, I have to unite with you sincerely to achieve great things together, this matter is my vote for you." ”
"Brother Gu laughed." Ye Luyuan said with a smile: "After Chengfeng, but if you have success, you will not forget Brother Gu's support today." ”
"In the future, with his father-in-law's family, I won't need to do it, if we do this, you can also carry him in the future." Gu Han laughed: "I don't dare to say anything else, when we completely complete the task of defeating Zhang Zhongwu, your status will definitely be higher than that of Yeluqi." Of course, let's not compare wealth with them, this can't be compared. ”
