Chapter 175 The plan can't keep up with the changes

In fact, Li Shiji, like Chen Ying, was unwilling to accept Goguryeo's surrender in this way.

They finally gathered their strength and were ready to smash Goguryeo to death with one punch, but as soon as their fists were raised, Goguryeo raised his hand and said no more fighting.

Not to mention Li Shiji, in fact, no Tang army soldier could accept the surrender of the Goguryeo people from his heart.

Because the Goguryeo people were professional households in surrender, as early as the eighth year of the Great Cause, they successively surrendered to Yang Guang for a full 31 times, and the result was that they immediately turned their faces.

Believed, Goguryeo surrendered. You will definitely be deceived.

Chen Ying was still eating shabu mutton slowly, in fact, he was already full, but he was just habitually looking at the red oil hot pot, stunned.

At this moment, a herald sang outside the tent: "The envoy of the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, asks to see!" ”

Chen Ying sandwiched a piece of meat, threw it into the pot with little interest, and said, "Raise the account!" ”

Su Dingfang naturally knew what Chen Ying meant, and it was said that under such circumstances, Chen Ying should put the most elite troops out and give the Goguryeo envoy a dismount.

However, since Chen Ying did not want to accept the surrender of the Goguryeo, he would definitely have to do the opposite.

It didn't take long for a group of crooked soldiers, instead of Chen Ying's personal guards, to line up outside the big tent. These soldiers were poorly equipped, they were holding hunting bows that even the Xue Yantuo people would dislike, and they were wearing tattered armor of unknown age, and as for the soldiers, they were either frighteningly thin, as if they were hungry in Africa, or they were so old that half of their teeth had fallen out.

Whether it is the Anxi Army or the Andong Army, it is very easy to select the elite, if you really choose these crooked melons and cracked dates, you will waste the old nose. The armor was improvised from the minor's warehouse, and it smelled good. These soldiers are actually prisoners of the Sui army rescued by the Anton Army from Yalu Water.

After more than ten years of torture, they have long lost their human form.

Even if he was holding a weapon and watching the arrival of the Goguryeo envoy, he couldn't help but kneel.

In fact, it is not the physical body that they are most tormented by, but the spirit. After more than ten years of inhuman torture, they have long since accepted their fate.

Originally, the Goguryeo envoys would give them a dismount when Chen Ying came up, but he didn't expect the Tang army he saw to be such an "elite soldier".

The messenger was secretly surprised, feeling that something was wrong.

The envoy looked at the surrounding "Tang army" and really couldn't figure out why they attacked all the way from Liaodong to Pyongyang and defeated hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops. In front of them, these generals are guarded, and even the ordinary tribal army of Goguryeo is inferior. 、

"That person should be known as "Chen Ying, the god of the Tang Dynasty." When the envoy saw this, he secretly envied himself in his heart, and wondered when Goguryeo would have such a monarch and minister.

He came to Chen Ying, offered a gift without humility or arrogance, and exclaimed: "King of Goguryeo, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to His Excellency General Chen of the Tang Dynasty from the West. ”

and reported his name.

Chen Ying didn't know Goguryeo, but Li Shiji had also recruited a large number of talents in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in the past few years, and cultivated a group of talents who were proficient in Goguryeo.

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "Our Emperor Your Majesty especially likes to watch the Hu Xuan Dance, can Gao Jianwu dance?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the envoy's face changed greatly.

After Chen Ying captured Jieli Khan, he gave him to Li Jiancheng to dance for Li Jiancheng at the state banquet, and later Chen Ying sent the Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, as well as a total of 27 kings of Anxi, all to Chang'an, and Jieli Khan as neighbors, and now Chang'an has developed a song and dance troupe composed of kings or khans of various countries.

Of course, for the monarch of a country, this is simply to rub their dignity on the ground.

The envoy said without saying anything humble: "Our king is not good at singing and dancing, I am afraid that he will be out of character, and he will not be able to entertain His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for the time being......"

"Oh!" Chen Ying said with a look of sudden realization: "I see, I can't even dance or sing, why are you still keeping?" ”

The envoy's face changed dramatically.

However, the people who can be envoys are, of course, people who are full of opportunities, and he immediately said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Honorable General, my lord has a special order to humble myself and declare to the General that for the sake of the people of the two countries, I hope that the war can be stopped!" ”

Chen Ying sneered: "If you surrender, you will surrender, and you will pull so many moths for General Ben." ”

The envoy wanted to explain again, but Chen Ying got up abruptly, pointed at the envoy and said, "If you surrender, let Gao Jianwu enter by roll call in front of the camp." If there is a war, this general will accompany him to the end! ”

The envoy was startled, Gao Jianwu was about to surrender, and the entire Goguryeo was already boiling. In fact, neither the subjects wanted such a humble surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Although Goguryeo has lost most of its territory and lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they still have the strength to fight and hundreds of thousands of horses. If all the people were soldiers, they could also arm at least 200,000 horses.

None of them were reconciled to such a surrender.

However, Chen Ying was unwilling to accept surrender.

This big messenger's accident, what is a hot face on a cold ass, now Gao Jianwu is this!

The messenger's voice suppressed anger and said, "Why? ”

From the perspective of Goguryeo, there is no reason for the Tang Dynasty not to accept its own surrender, because Goguryeo still has very strong strength, and the reason why Goguryeo is willing to surrender is because the real leader of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, no longer has the will to fight.

More precisely, in this battle outside the city of Pyongyang, the rising star and most outstanding talent in Goguryeo, the son of Yuan Taizuo, Yuan Gai Suwen, was ridden by Chen Ying with more than 4,000 feet and beaten into a dog.

Gao Jianwu has lost the confidence to continue fighting.

After a long period of psychological struggle, Gao Jianwu decided to surrender. In the eyes of the Goguryeo people, as long as Gao Jianwu left his identity and was willing to submit to the Tang State, then the war should be over.

War, hasn't it always been like this? What Datang needs is just a name.

The current situation is not favorable for Goguryeo, they need time to develop, they need time to recuperate, and the surrender of the present is only for the future, to fight better.

Chen Ying was unwilling to accept Gao Jianwu's surrender, which was naturally clear. Once Gao Jianwu surrenders, he will still enjoy the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the big pair of Lu Yuan Taizuo will even be promoted to the rank of knight, and Yuan Gai Suwen will also become the Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, and even the big pair of Lu, those Goguryeo nobles are still Goguryeo nobles.

And these conditions are something that Chen Ying will never accept, if Goguryeo is willing to surrender, at least those Goguryeo ministers, nobles, and generals who participated in the battle of the Sui Dynasty must die.

They don't die, and millions of souls can't be seen.

If they don't die, Goguryeo may rebel at any time.

However, the imperial court would definitely accept Gao Jianwu's nominal surrender.

Because, the center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty has never been Goguryeo, but Li Shimin, who is far away in Fusang.

Then, Chen Ying could not accept Goguryeo's surrender.

Since, Chen Ying has no intention of accepting surrender, then he can only continue to fight.

……

After receiving the messenger's reply, Gao Jianwu lost his mind for a short time.

The ministers of the entire palace are all in rejoice, especially Yuan Taizuo.

However, Gao Jianwu did not look disappointed at this time, but said excitedly: "In this battle, Chen Ying must die!" ”

Yuan Taizuo really couldn't understand Gao Jianwu's brain circuit, and before the battle officially started, he surrendered directly. Now that Chen Ying has rejected Gao Jianwu's surrender, he is ashamed to say that Chen Ying must die.

The young general, Black Tooth, stepped forward and asked, "How can the king be so sure?" ”

Gao Jianwu sneered: "Before the battle, this king did not know whether the subjects of the whole country were willing to fight with this king to the end, and now Chen Ying has rejected the surrender of this king, so the only way is to fight to the end." Spread the king's decree and inform the whole country, the battle of Goguryeo's national fortune, this king will not retreat! ”

……

According to the established plan of Chen Ying and Li Shiji, this battle will be carried out around Pyongyang, inducing the army of King Qin of Goguryeo to go to King Qin of Pyongyang, and the Tang army can take advantage of the favorable terrain to besiege and send reinforcements to wipe out the Goguryeo army.

As the saying goes, the plan can never catch up with the changes, just when Chen Ying's strategic plan was implemented step by step according to the plan, unexpected news came.

The leader of a servant army, Dahemo, unexpectedly discovered a Tang army unit in Yingzhou (present-day Chaoyang, Liaoning). As usual, the Great Hemo Society transported a batch of meat to this Tang army unit.

According to the previous habit, the soldiers of the Tang Army would give these servant generals a return gift, either a knife, or a few bills, but this time they directly gave a batch of gold cakes.

This makes Ogamakai feel very strange, although gold is good, but now it is not what it used to be.

In the past, gold was a hard currency in the grasslands and could be used as a coin. But now the caravans coming and going to the steppe, they were reluctant to accept gold, because it needed to be transported on the way back, and most importantly, they accepted the money trade of Tongli Bank, and were accustomed to using light money.

These tribal leaders all went to Lingzhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, Yizhou or Jizhou in advance to exchange their gold for money. As for the officers and men of the Tang Army, no one held gold at all, and even if the gold captured on the battlefield was directly traded with the caravans accompanying the army, and more money was exchanged for money, which was convenient to carry.

One hundred catties of gold, exchanged for ten thousand yuan. There are only 100 bills in 100 pieces, and no one knows if you put them in your arms casually, but with a hundred catties of gold on your back, it is difficult to die of exhaustion.

This abnormal situation made Ogami feel that something was wrong. As a result, after arriving at the close reconnaissance, it was found that more than ninety percent of the so-called Tang Army troops were a group of barbarians, and they spoke a language that the Ogamo Society had never heard before.

When he learned that there were no troops outside the city of Yingzhou, the Ogami Kai led his troops and surrounded this force.

As a result, this unit saw that the situation was not good, and immediately broke through.

In the end, the headquarters of the Ogamo Club was not the elite of the Tang Army, and they did not capture all of this "Tang Army", but ran away with five or six hundred people, and the casualties under the command of the Ogamo Club were as high as more than 1,600 people. The hundreds of natives who were captured were all mortal enemies in the eyes of the Ogamo Society.

Therefore, according to tradition, Ogamo was ready to kill all these captives. However, at the most critical time, a general of this unit directly proposed that he was Li Shiji's old friend and asked to see Li Shiji.

Dahe Mohui did not dare to slack off, as long as he took this Tang Army general and galloped all the way to the city of Pyongyang to meet Li Shiji.

When Li Shiji looked at this general pretending to be the Tang Army, he faintly felt a little familiar.

I felt like I had seen it from somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

As a result, this "Tang Army" general, with a pure Ludi accent, shouted to Li Shiji: "Shibo save me, Shibo save me......"

At this time, Li Shiji found out that this general was actually the son of Cheng Zhijie, the old acquaintance Cheng Zhijie.

Li Shiji looked at Cheng Chuhei with a look of surprise and said, "You little bastard, why are you here?" ”

Cheng has not yet answered.

Chen Ying looked at Cheng Chuhei fiercely and said, "You came from the flyover?" ”

Cheng is young, he has never seen Chen Ying.

Of course, he had heard of Chen Ying's name, and thought that Chen Ying was just Li Shiji's general.

Cheng Zhisi was surprised: "How do you know? ”

After saying this, Cheng immediately regretted it.

Chen Ying didn't ask Cheng Zhu again, but looked at Dahe Mohui and said, "Did any of them escape?" ”

Ogama would say, "No ......! ”

It was very uncomfortable to be stared at by Chen Ying's fierce gaze, and Dahe Mohui immediately changed his words and said, "There are five or six hundred people who escaped!" ”

"Immediately send someone to chase them back!"

After saying this, Chen Ying regretted it.

If the Oga Maha Society is the first to start, it will start to pursue, or there will be a chance to catch up with them.

It's too late now.

Cheng Chuhei's subordinates may have already crossed the overpass.

Chen Ying felt that the matter was very important, looked at Li Shiji and said: "General Li, the war in Pyongyang is entrusted to you, I will return to Chang'an soon!" ”
