Chapter Seventy-Nine: Waiting for Work with Ease
At the end of April 185 AD, King Taejo of Goguryeo besieged the city for ten days, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the people in the city were in panic.
The morale of the soldiers defending the city became more and more depressed, and Liu Yu knew that the city could not be saved, so he quietly packed up and prepared to flee while the chaos was in place.
The chief official is elected to the mansion. (This candidate is not one of the eight athletes of Xiliang Ma Chao, with the same name and surname)
"Lord Chief, the king of my family said that as long as you surrender the city before the time of the son, you will be the Taishou of Xuansu County from now on."
A scribe said to the candidate.
Hou Xuan looked at the person in front of him in shock, and said word by word: "Tian Yu, you actually defected to King Taizu?" ”
Scribe Tian Yu said lightly: "Yes, I am already a guest of King Taizu in the next morning, you and I have known each other for a long time, otherwise Duan Ran will not give you this benefit." ”
"You ......"
Unexpectedly, this Tian Yuming was Liu Yu's doorman, but secretly took refuge in King Taizu.
Looking at Hou Xuan's hesitant appearance, Tian Yu's tone changed, and he said coldly: "Lord Chief, I'm afraid you don't know something, Liu Yu is already preparing to abscond." ”
What the?
Taishou Liu Yu wants to escape?
The candidate was stunned again, Lord Taishou was ready to flee, and he, the chief official, stayed and did not wait for death in vain.
"Is that true?"
"It's true, last night Liu Yu summoned the guests in the house, selected ten dead soldiers, and said that he would flee tonight!"
Liu Yu wants to escape, and he will never let outsiders know, but how did Tian Yu know?
The candidate wondered, "How did you know?" ”
"Haha......"
Tian Yu said with a smile: "There are cronies among the dead soldiers. ”
Hou Xuan asked rhetorically: "Since Liu Yu wants to escape, why do you bother to persuade me to surrender?" ”
"King Taizu is eloquent, and he has long had the heart to unify the four counties, so he must not let this Liu Yu escape, but now the city gate is locked, and the news is inconvenient, so ......"
Hou Xuan's expression was stunned, after the soldier Cao Leikui died in battle, the defense of the city gate has always been in charge of his own affairs, no wonder Tian Yu thought of himself, and said Zheng Zheng at the moment: "King Taizu is violent, moody, and murderous, how can he throw himself into the fire in the future." ”
"The chief official is serious, this is the opinion of the layman, from the bottom point of view, King Taejo is the most wise monarch since the founding of Goguryeo, comparable to the second emperor of Han Wenjing."
Tian Yu turned around and said: "Lord Chief, those who know the times are Junjie, you have to think twice before acting, if you make a mistake, you will end up with nothing." ”
"You're trying to threaten me?"
Hou Xuan took half a step back, looked at Tian Yu hesitantly, and then slowly spoke: "What King Taizu promised can be counted?" ”
"Of course!"
"That's good! I promise you. ”
Hou Xuan replied heavily, Tian Yu dared to come to him without fear like this, he must have a perfect plan, whether he agreed or not, he couldn't change the fact that the city of Goguryi was broken, it was better to take refuge in King Taizu and mix up his background.
"Good!"
At that moment, the two agreed to open the city gate at three o'clock to welcome King Taizu into the city.
……
A few days later, the news of the destruction of the city of Goguryi reached Li Tao.
Liu Yizheng, accompanied by Li Tao and Zhao Yun, watched the Black Flag Battalion drill the infantry, and on the school field, the four hundred Wuhuan warriors who were selected were holding Mo knives, wearing heavy armor, and swung their knives forward in unison with the shouts of the infantry.
One swing of the knife, the swift return of the knife, then the next swing, and repeat.
The sword flashed and dazzling.
"Lord, there is news from Gao Guli that Taishou Liu Yu was killed by King Taizu, and Xuansu County exists in name only."
Li Tao arched his hand.
"Huh?"
Liu Yi looked a little surprised, it was only more than ten days, and the city was ruined and the county died? Are the Goguryeo people really so powerful?
When Zhao Yun heard this, his spirits perked up, and he raised his hand and said, "Lord, the last general is invited to fight!" ”
Li Tao also said: "Lord, the time is ripe, and you can go out of Xuansu County." ”
"Come on, go and pass on Li Yuanba and Guan Hai to discuss matters in the barracks."
When they were young, the two entered one after another, and nearly 50 generals and colonels in the army gathered in the tent.
Liu Yi's finger hung on a large topographic map in the military tent, and Zheng said: "Everyone, a few days ago, the Taishou of Xuansu County was killed by King Taizu, and tens of thousands of people of Xuansu County lived under the iron hooves of Goguryeo. ”
"So this official will personally lead a large army to conquest, can the generals dare to go along?"
Li Yuanba was the first to speak: "I'm the first Li Yuanba." ”
Zhao Yun and Guan Hai followed closely and said, "The last general will ask for battle!" ”
Then all the generals in the tent should admit: "The subordinates will ask for war, and they will not destroy Goguryeo, and they will not give up." ”
"Good!"
Seeing the generals' fighting spirit, Liu Yi turned to Li Tao and said, "Li Tao listens to the order, you are the military advisor on this trip and the commander of the whole army." ”
"No!"
Li Tao took the arrow, held it high above his head, and said solemnly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"The Qingzhou battalion and the Black Flag battalion have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they will rush to the city of Goguryi within two days, and there must be no mistake."
"Yes!"
A large army marched from Xiangping to Gaoguryi, Xuansu County, the war horses flew over their hooves, and the figures swayed, walking faster and faster.
Although there were still 1,000 newly recruited county soldiers in Xiangping City, they were embarrassed by the task, so they were used by Li Tao as a grain transportation team.
……
Goguryeo Castle.
After King Taizu attacked and broke the city at night, he had already lived a corrupt life, either drinking for pleasure or insulting women.
His soldiers are also reckless, bullying men and women is normal, and in less than three days, Gaoju Licheng will be full of smoke and miasma, wailing everywhere.
On this day, King Taizu was inviting his generals to have fun in the palace, and suddenly a small general ran in in a hurry, and said: "Report, King Qiqi, there is a large force of cavalry coming to Gaoguli." ”
The doorman Tian Yu's eyebrows flashed, and he asked, "But the county soldiers of Xuansu County?" ”
The young general replied: "According to the report of the detective horse, the clothes and armor are not like the officers and soldiers of Xuanwu County, and there are all kinds of people, among whom there are Wuhuan people, whose armor does not cover their bodies, and their breasts are exposed. ”
"Oh?"
Tian Yu paused, Wuhuan people? Could it be from Liaodong?
Tian Yu suddenly looked panicked and said, "King, hurry, gather all the people and prepare to fight." ”
"Why is this so, sir, not just a rabble? When the king sent two teams of a thousand men, he went to destroy him. ”
King Taizu treated Tian Yu with great courtesy and regarded him as his own brainstorm.
Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "Great King, most of the soldiers and horses of Xuansu County fell into this battle, and the rest of the counties are just some county soldiers, and they can't become a climate, and now this cavalry coming to Gaoguli is mostly the soldiers and horses of Liaodong County." ”
"It doesn't matter if he is Liaodong or Liaoxi, as much as he comes, this king will kill him as much as he wants."
King Taizu said confidently.
Tian Yukuan explained: "The king's soldiers are strong and strong, so he is naturally not afraid of the Liaodong soldiers and horses, but although the sparrows are small and have all the organs, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible to avoid chaos." ”
King Taizu nodded, and asked Ji Tianyu at the moment, Tian Yu stated the terrain of Gaoguryi, and then talked about how to deploy troops and how to attack.
King Taizu ordered his soldiers to do so one by one, and prepare for a battle to eliminate this cavalry that had killed itself.
