Chapter 929: Accident
Ambitious people are not willing to be a puppet forever, no matter how many years of silence, how many years of forbearance, for him are dormant, waiting for an opportunity to start an incident, he uses a long time, unhurried layout, wooing, cultivating wings, just when the time is ripe, he will soar into the sky.
Gozang is such a person, no one knows how many years he has been dormant, no one knows how many wings he secretly cultivated in the court and army of Goguryeo, but once he has made a banner, it seems that there are people who support him on all sides.
Emperor Han Xian is such an uncompetitive person, a bloody edict can instantly summon countless court ministers to run for him, not to mention that Gao Zang is much stronger than Emperor Han Xian, all these years of secret planning, today finally broke out completely.
The Heaven-Shaking Thunder given by Li Su did not play a role, or rather, Gao Zang did not include Li Su's Heaven-Shaking Thunder in the plan of the uprising from the beginning. With Gao Zang's character, he will not entrust his life to the hundreds of earth-shaking thunder given to him by the enemy, he has his own arrangements and deployment, a long time ago, he buried a chess piece next to Quangai Suwen, this chess piece has been hiding in the shadows, completely loyal to Quangai Suwen, Gaozang has never had any intersection with him, until today, when the picture is poor, this chess piece finally stood in a suitable place, and cut out just the right knife.
Killed with a knife, the country changed hands.
Hibernate for years, a single blow kills. This is the real hero.
The next is to subdue the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city, Gaozang's hidden power for many years has finally been revealed, and it basically didn't take much effort to subdue hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I don't know how many chess pieces he has planted over the years, Gaozang shouted, and the chess pieces stood up hundreds of people, these people took the lead, and Quangai Suwen has been ambushed, Gaozang is the legitimate lord of Goguryeo, and the dragons are leaderless, hundreds of thousands of soldiers easily made a decision, and they are loyal to Gaozang.
The next step is to exterminate the remnants of Quangai Suwen, although Li Su almost killed Quangai Suwen's minions when he was in Pyongyang City, there are still many officials in the local government who are rebellious, and these people must be eliminated. Gao Zang showed his cold-blooded and ruthless side, all the officials who had intersected with Quan Gai Suwen were killed, from the capital to the local government, Gao Zang showed his butcher knife and began to clean from top to bottom, he wanted to completely erase the traces of Quan Gai Suwen from the world.
The so-called great cause of changing the dynasty is mostly made of blood and bones.
After issuing a series of orders, Takazo breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead with a tired expression.
Until this moment, the country of Goguryeo is basically in the palm of his hand, and the feeling of being in power is really good, as if he has suddenly become a god from a mortal, quietly looking at the mediocre people with a downward posture, and he can decide the life and death of the people.
Domestic affairs can be controlled by Gozang, but outside of Goguryeo......
Takazo's sigh grew heavier.
Tang State not to say, the two countries have just finished fighting, people are still on the way home, a war killed and injured tens of thousands, the resentment between the two countries is afraid that it is difficult to dissolve, now Gaozang has just seized power, although the domestic army of scholars and subjects is obedient on the surface, but they have not returned to their hearts, the seizure of power began in the past few years, Gaozang has to recuperate, but also to accept the hearts of the world's soldiers and subjects, there are too many things to do, from the moment of the death of Quangai Suwen, Goguryeo can no longer withstand any war, even if it is a small-scale local warFirst, the national strength is empty and he really can't afford to fight, and second, Gaozang has not recovered the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of the army, and the war will be lost.
Therefore, there was only one choice in front of Gaozang, just as discussed with Li Su at the beginning, Gaozang had to change Goguryeo's attitude towards the Central Plains Dynasty for a hundred years, and chose to calm down the conflict with the Tang State and rebuild diplomatic relations.
The hatred between Goguryeo and the Central Plains Dynasty was very deep, including Gao Zang, and he also had a hostile attitude towards the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and made friends with the two countries promised by Li Su. The times forced him, he had to choose to stop the war sensibly, bow down to the Tang State, until Goguryeo recovered its vitality and Gozang had won the hearts of the countrymen, and at that time, perhaps, the war would start again.
Once the war with the Tang State is chosen, then a series of chain reactions will appear, such as the alliance between Goguryeo and Baekje, the relationship between Goguryeo and the six tribes of the Northern Kin, and the relationship with the enemies of Silla for many years, etc., as Goguryeo bows to the Tang Dynasty, the diplomacy of the surrounding countries will change accordingly.
Thinking about these chaotic state affairs, Takazo only felt that his head hurt.
*****************************************************
Li Su was riding on a horse and had a headache from the wind.
Riding a horse and blowing the wind seems to be elegant and chic, such as the lyrics of the later generations singing "Riding a horse and galloping, sharing the prosperity of the world", coupled with a royal Ama leading a group of elder brothers and Gege, riding on the horse and laughing and rippling, happy as if he wanted to take off, but really riding on the horse and galloping against the wind, who knows what it feels like, anyway, Li Su not only does not have the slightest intention of laughing, but also wants to cry.
"No more! I'm dying! If I don't stop resting, I'll die in a moment, die right away! Li Su finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly on horseback.
Li Ji, who was galloping side by side, glanced at him helplessly, casually called a general behind him, asked about the news of the scout's last return, and after making sure that there were no chasing soldiers within 100 miles, Li Ji raised his hand and ordered the whole army to dismount and rest.
Fang Lao Wu dismounted first, rushed over with an arrow step, and carefully helped the crumbling Li Su off the horse.
"Grandpa has suffered, you are such a precious person, how can you endure such pain as the march, what a sin......" Fang Lao Wu helped Li Su to sit down on the grass, chattering while chattering.
"That's right, I'm really suffering, look at the snot on my face, look at my slender legs being worn by the saddle, and then look at my bruised face, what a sin......" Li Su almost burst into tears.
It's really too bitter, Li Su has not suffered so much since he came to this era, when he was marching in the desert of the Western Regions, he was just basking in the sun, his face was a little dark, but he was not in a hurry. Now riding a horse and marching quickly, running all day, the weather is freezing, Li Su feels that he is about to die.
Li Ji couldn't get used to his nephew's appearance, and snorted coldly: "Look at your appearance, the old man is dozens of years older than you, have you ever seen the old man shout bitter?" ”
Li Su sighed: "Uncle has never shouted bitterness, you are suffering from life...... But I was born to enjoy a blessed life, if I was not appointed by His Majesty to follow the army this time, at this time I should be lying in the yard basking in the sun, holding the newborn daughter in my hand, yawning, stretching, when it was time to eat, the next person came to invite me respectfully, went out for a walk after eating, walked out of the princess's Taoist temple in a hurry, went in and let the princess play the piano on the side, I listened to the elegant sound of the piano and took a nap by the way......"
Li Su sighed yearningly and said, "Uncle, this is the life of people, and now we are riding horses, running hundreds of miles a day, from north to south, do you know what this is called?" It's called livestock, well, the mass migration of large primate mammals, and that's what we're doing right now, and it's called 'running away'......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Ji kicked him hard and scolded: "You will die alive in the future, just on your mouth, don't put the old man in, beware of the old man sucking you to death." ”
Li Su smiled: "Uncle, my wife just gave birth to a daughter, and you have added a niece and granddaughter, you should send two truckloads of silver cakes to congratulate you after returning to Chang'an, right?" Is there anything valuable at home......"
Li Ji scolded with a smile: "I have heard that you are dead to ask for money, the old man also heard that your housekeeper has the same problem as you, if there are guests coming to the door, first see if there is a gift, if you bring a few cars, the housekeeper will smile like a spring breeze, if you come empty-handed, nine times out of ten you will have to eat closed-door soup, look at the magnates of Chang'an City, eat such ugly looks, it is your family, what, now the idea is to the uncle?" You've earned a lot of money in your life, enough for you to spend three lifetimes, right? Why are you so attached to yellow and white things? ”
"Hehe, my nephew is from a farmer's family, he is poor, he has never seen the world, and he has a sense of security when he sleeps with money in his arms......" Li Su smiled dryly.
The two uncles and nephews were talking, and suddenly a general hurriedly came over, hugged his fists and said: "General, major general, there is a cavalry team galloping in the southwest direction, the scouts have visited, at this time it is about twenty miles away from us, the cavalry has a total of more than 100 people, it seems that they are chasing and killing a civilian cavalry team, the two are chasing and biting very tightly, whether our army comes forward to intervene, please decide the general." ”
Li Ji frowned: "Southwest direction? ”
After a quick glance with Li Su, Li Ji said in a deep voice, "Isn't our current southwest country Baekje?" ”
Li Su nodded: "Yes, it is Baekje." ”
The general also added, "This place is only about 100 miles away from the border of Baekje. ”
Li Ji rubbed his numb chin, and muttered: "These two groups of men and horses should be from Baekje Country, when we are marching, I am afraid it is not appropriate to have another branch, order the scouts to probe again, closely monitor the movements of those two groups of men and horses, and we will set off now and enter the territory of Silla Kingdom to be safe." ”
The general hurried away with his fists clenched.
Li Su shrugged, for him, this was just a trivial matter encountered on the march, nothing to care about, and the question he was most concerned about at the moment was when ,—— would be able to reach the border of that damn Silla.
After resting for a while, Li Ji ordered to continue walking.
Even if there are no chasing soldiers behind him, after all, 20,000 horses are still in the enemy's territory, Li Ji doesn't want to take risks, and if he is a little negligent and slack, maybe something will happen, and the whole army will be wiped out if he is not careful.
Li Su sighed loudly, reluctantly got up from the ground, and walked towards the horse with his head down.
When the 20,000 soldiers were about to mount their horses, they saw a general hurriedly coming and said, "General, those two groups of men and horses are coming to our side, only a few miles away, how to deal with it, please decide to the general." ”
Li Ji frowned, and then snorted coldly: "Come on, come on, Baekje and Goguryeo have always been in collusion, but don't provoke the old man today, otherwise you will ......"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of chaotic horses' hooves was vaguely heard in the distance, Li Su straightened up and looked on tiptoe, but saw a few miles away, a team of cavalry dressed as civilians galloped over, the number of about 20 people, closely followed by a cavalry wearing halberds, from time to time there were wooden short spears flying out of the cavalry crowd, and the 20 or so people who fled in front also fell from their horses from time to time, and were ruthlessly trampled by the horses' hooves behind.
Li Ji also saw this scene, couldn't help but snort, then glanced at Li Su obliquely, and said indifferently: "The old man led the Chinese army to leave first, how to deal with it, leave it to you." ”
Li Su nodded in response.
After Li Ji got on the horse and went first, Li Su looked at Xue Rengui who stayed behind and said, "Can you recognize which country the group of people being chased in front of you are?" ”
Xue Rengui squinted and looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "The civilian clothes they wear are too far away, and they can't tell which country they are from for a while, but it is certain that the chasing soldiers must be from Baekje, the style of their armor is very special, the shoulders of the armor are relatively wide, and it looks very powerful, but in fact, their armor is made of wood and animal skin, and it is reluctant to block the wind, but it can't stop the sword and arrow at all." ”
Li Su nodded: "Baekje doesn't have a big deal with our Datang, right?" ”
Xue Rengui smiled bitterly: "It's too bad to deal with, Baekje and Goguryeo have always been allies, the two countries have done a lot of evil things in collusion over the years, in the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces raided Silla and occupied hundreds of miles of Silla territory, Your Majesty issued three decrees in a row, and the two countries had to withdraw their troops, but the occupied land refused to be returned, which made Your Majesty angry, and it was also one of the reasons for Your Majesty's determination to go eastward, not only that, Baekje and Goguryeo often joined forces to invade our Tang border and harass our Tang border people, There have been no less than ten attacks over the years......"
Li Su sighed and said, "In this way, we have met the enemy now?" ”
Xue Rengui nodded: "It's the enemy." ”
Li Su smiled: "That's easy to do...... Xue Rengui listens to orders! ”
Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists and said, "The last general." ”
"Lead a thousand light horsemen forward, destroy that group of Baekje cavalry, and save the group of people who were being hunted down, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and it must be a group of good people to be chased and killed by our enemies all the way......"
Xue Rengui's face was full of black lines, this logic ...... Isn't it too simple and crude?
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Rengui said: "Grandpa, we are going to rush to the border of Silla now, Baekje is not far from here, if these cavalry are destroyed, I am afraid that something will happen, besides, Baekje didn't provoke us, let's kill people for no reason, isn't it ......?"
Li Su sneered: "Don't forget that we are the army of the Tang Dynasty, the army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world, and we should act with the domineering spirit of the Tang Dynasty, if the enemy does not provoke us, can't we take the initiative to provoke the enemy?" As long as the enemy is within our sight, it should be destroyed! ”
Xue Rengui puffed up his chest, hugged his fists and said: "Yes, Grandpa wait a minute, the last general will lead the army to attack the thief!" ”
Immediately, Xue Rengui ordered his troops and horses, and a thousand light horsemen raised their halberds, and launched a surprise attack on the Baekje cavalry.
The Baekje cavalry, who were chasing and killing civilians, was just when they were satisfied, and they enjoyed the pleasure of hunting, when they suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves from miles away, and when they heard this sound, there were no less than a thousand people, and then they saw a black and oppressive tide in the distance, which was rushing towards them.
The Baekje cavalry was stunned, and then turned their horses in fright and ran, as for the group of civilians who were chasing and killing, they couldn't take care of it, and it was important to save their lives.
Seeing the Baekje cavalry fleeing, Xue Rengui rode his horse to charge at the same time, and immediately issued an order, and two groups of 1,000 men and horses were divided, one left and one right towards the Baekje cavalry.
When the Baekje cavalry fled, it was a detour, quite a bit of panic, and after a detour, the right wing cavalry of the Tang army caught up with them from a straight line and intercepted them head-on on the plain, and the Baekje cavalry had to stop their horses, so they were delayed for a while, and the other middle and left wing Tang troops also caught up, and a thousand people surrounded these more than 100 people in a circle, and a thousand pairs of eyes stared coldly at this group of living people who were about to become dead.
The diplomatic rhetoric before the battle was waived, anyway, everyone didn't understand the language, the silver spear in Xue Rengui's hand stabbed forward fiercely, and shouted at the same time: "Kill——! ”
Thousands of people moved in unison, countless halberds stabbed at the Baekje cavalry, and a one-sided massacre began, and it took almost a few breaths to lay on the ground with corpses, and not a single Baekje cavalry was alive.
On the other side, more than 20 civilians who fled in a hurry rode their horses in front of Li Su, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they found that there were no pursuers behind them.
Li Su rode on the horse and looked at them curiously, the young man dressed as a monk at the head, wearing a sackcloth monk's robe, with a dark face and a short stature, was only about one and a half meters according to the measurement of later generations, and the dozen or so people behind were wearing the clothes of ordinary Tang people, a group of people were in tatters, like a group of people called Huazi.
The monk led by him saw that Li Su had an extraordinary bearing, and there were many subordinates around him to protect him, and immediately knew that this person was noble, so he hurriedly saluted.
"The monk of Yamato is Daozhao, meet this nobleman."
Li Su's eyes widened, and he said blankly: "Yamato? ”
Looking around left and right, Li Su muttered: "Which country is Yamato......
Before he finished speaking, Li Su suddenly remembered, his eyes widened and he said in a lost voice: "Japanese people? ”
Dao Zhao frowned, and said: "'Wa', the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains were called 'pro-Wei friends', and the Wei Emperor Cao Ruiqin at that time named the monarch of my Yamato Kingdom as 'Himiko', that is, 'pro-Wei Wawang', and this 'Wa' word, is to give up the 'Wei' to the ghost word side, and add it to the person, meaning 'friend', at that time, the word 'Wa' is actually the meaning of praise, and my Yamato country has always been the name of the country, and I am deeply proud of it, but since the Jin Dynasty, the word 'Wa' has gradually been crowned by the Central Plains scholars as 'short, The meaning of 'obscene' is really insulting, so we changed the name of the country to 'Yamato', so this nobleman, I am not a Japanese national, but a Yamato national. ”
Li Su still looked at him blankly, and muttered: "I actually saved a group of Japanese people, not only did this group of people not be grateful, but they taught me a lesson as soon as they met......"
After muttering, Li Su suddenly raised his voice and said, "Come on, tie up this group of guys and throw them into the woods next to them to feed the wolves!" ”
