Chapter 102: Gao Yuan's Ambition
Chapter 102: Gao Yuan's Ambition
In the palace of Pyongyang City, all the ministers looked at Gao Lie expectantly, hoping that what he brought back was good news, Gao Lie did not dare to slack off, and quickly explained in detail what happened to him when he went to the Sui army camp, from beginning to end!
"Your Majesty, this is the reply of the generals of the Sui army! He also put forward two prerequisites, that the Sui people must be returned first, and that the city gates must be opened so that their army can enter the city before they can negotiate surrender! β
It was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was frightened in an instant!
When discussing ways to deal with the Sui army's siege, they all thought of fake surrender for the first time, and the reason why they were reluctant to speak first was because they didn't want to leave themselves with stigma, after all, fake surrender was not an upright method, and it might even bring them the risk of killing themselves!
In fact, the main thing is that they are not much worried that the city of Pyongyang will be breached by the Sui army. They have always believed that although the Sui army's offensive is very fierce now, it is just a strategy for the Sui generals to force surrender by war.
They even felt that no matter how fierce the Sui army's offensive was and how critical the city of Pyongyang was, as long as their own side surrendered in time, the Sui army would definitely accept the surrender and stop the siege. How many cities have been in danger of city breakdown, because they have chosen the strategy of deception and survived, and they have tried and succeeded!
But now Gao Lie said that the generals of the Sui army had refused, and the tried and tested strategy had failed. Oh no, everyone's hopeful expressions are completely broken!
They were frightened, their expressions became extremely heavy in an instant, and even the bodies of several people became a little trembling, and their faces became pale in an instant!
"Didn't their emperor say that as long as we are willing to surrender, they must accept it?"
Gao Yuan was furious and shouted loudly with excitement, "What is the name of their lord?" How dare they do that? This king must participate in them to the Great Sui Emperor, and let the Great Sui Emperor punish them for their sins and cut off their heads! β
At this time, a minister who was a little unclear reminded in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, that order was issued by the Great Sui Emperor the year before last, and it has been a long time. Maybe this time to attack the city, the Great Sui Emperor did not let them continue to carry out that order! β
"Fart!"
Gao Yuan was stunned, his two eyes stared fiercely at the minister who reminded him, and then scolded again, "Didn't he Yang Guang claim to be the Khan of the Heavens, didn't he say that he wanted to educate the Quartet and govern the world benevolently, it turned out that they were all saying one thing and doing another, deceiving people!" He Yang Guang is simply deceiving the world and stealing his name, and he is not as good as ......"
"Brother Wang, please calm your anger! Now that we've gotten to it, let's think about what to do first! Gao Jianwu stepped forward and persuaded him!
After a loud scolding, the resentment in Gao Yuan's heart was vented, his anger was reduced a lot, and the whole person slowly calmed down again, "Then tell me, what should we do now?" β
"Brother Wang, why don't we surrender first, and wait for the rest to pass this level!"
Gao Jianwu cautiously proposed, "The Great Sui Emperor pays attention to false names, according to his past practices, as long as we surrender sincerely now, I don't think it will be too difficult for us, at most let us do something that hurts our face." We surrender now, and when they withdraw and leave, we can start all over again! β
"Are you sure he'll let us go?" Gao Yuan stared at Gao Jianwu and asked, he didn't believe Gao Jianwu's analysis, "We have killed so many Sui army captives before, are you sure those Sui army generals will let us go?" β
Gao Jianwu didn't speak again, he looked at Gao Yuan, then at the people around him, and slowly lowered his head, he was a little weak!
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks you can try it! The main thing is that at the moment we have no other option than to choose the path of temporary surrender. Wait any longer, the city gate will be breached by the Sui army! β
Gao Yuan's confidant Gao Lie agreed, and then analyzed them one by one: "Now we have no choice but to surrender temporarily!"
"Moreover, I heard that the rebellion in the territory of the Great Sui is getting more and more serious, and it has spread to many states and counties, and many family lords in their territory have already disagreed because of this, and they are ready to move!"
"Therefore, Wei Chen also thinks that the Great Sui Emperor will not embarrass us too much, as long as we choose to surrender now, presumably they will withdraw their troops back soon! Your Majesty, we can surrender for the time being, and when the Sui army withdraws, we will reorganize the mountains and rivers and start all over again! β
Gao Lie paused, looked at the people around him, then looked at Gao Yuan, and continued: "Maybe after a while, the Great Sui will be completely dong, and the land of the Central Plains will fall apart again!" At that time, we can not only directly send troops to the Central Plains to take revenge, but also participate in the division of the Great Sui and get a piece of the pie in the Central Plains. It's not good to say, your majesty, you still have the opportunity to rule the Central Plains and directly bring the Central Plains into the scope of our Goguryeo rule! β
Gao Lie's analysis, like a bright light in the dark night, awakened the last ray of hope in everyone's hearts, so they all spoke out in favor, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuzhi's analysis is correct!" Wechen and others agree with Lord Yuzhi's proposal! β
"Good! Then we will surrender first, and then wait for the opportunity to take revenge and reign in the Central Plains! β
Gao Yuanjing said hatefully, after some thoughtful thinking, he also felt that Gao Lie said it well, so he decided, and in the depths of his heart, the seeds of ambition that were not visible on weekdays also took root and sprouted, thrived, and were out of control!
β¦β¦
The siege battle continued, as the drums became more and more urgent, the soldiers of the Sui army became more and more ferocious, slashing with knives and stabbing qiΔng, spears piercing shields and smashing, moving forward, for a while, the balance of the two warring sides at the head of the city finally tilted, and the enemy troops defending the city could not resist and retreated again and again.
The enemy defending the city was in a hurry, and couldn't help but shout: "Beat the drum!" Go forward bravely, I am invincible! β
"Open!"
At this moment, the soldiers of the Sui army, who had been pushing the battering ram in front of the city gate to hit the city gate, suddenly let out a shout in unison, with a loud "click", the iron bolt behind the city gate was broken, and the city gate weighing thousands of pounds finally opened slowly under the action of the battering ram!
Lai Hu'er was overjoyed, took the lead, pointed forward with the long-handled Daguan knife in his hand, and shouted an order: "The army enters the city!" Kill! β
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
Tens of thousands of troops shouted loudly all the way, and under the leadership of Laihu'er, they were like a torrent of steel, rolling towards the city gate!
The city gate was opened, and the enemy troops defending the city under the city no longer had morale, and they turned around and retreated, and some soldiers who were a little hesitant did not have time to retreat, and were crushed by the rolling torrent of the Sui army, leaving a place of severed limbs and legs!
