Chapter 729: The Emperor Gives the Qin
Gai Suwen was in the commander's camp at the top of Liqiu Mountain at this time, and the front defense was solid, he was not worried, he was worried about the city of Pyongyang behind him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Gai Suwen chopped up the Goryeo king Gao Jianwu with a knife and threw it into the stinky ditch, the Tang Emperor ignored Gai Suwen, who held real power and was already the de facto leader of Goryeo, but instead canonized Gao Jianwu's son Gao Zang as the king of Goryeo, which is what made Gai Suwen extremely unhappy.
He analyzed the current situation, and said that both sides of the enemy and us are facing each other here, and no one can move lightly. It's like two strong men wrestling, holding each other with both hands, firmly under their feet, whoever has a negligence, the soles of their feet slipped off and were knocked down by the other party.
He couldn't let the Takazo in the back sit and watch him fight hard, and he didn't have anything to do. People are idle, and if you can't get Gao Zang, you have to give yourself a moment behind your back. Even if Takazo was just a child, it would be enough for him to run to the leg of a strong man and tickle him! He's going to find something to do for this puppet.
Gai Suwen sent a message to Pyongyang, asking Gao Zang to inform the inner city to take some action from the north to distract the Tang army.
After the last Liaodong War, the Goryeo army retreated to the east bank of the Yalu River on all fronts, and for a while it was like a frightened bird that did not dare to move lightly. But later, Gai Suwen received a report: After the withdrawal of the Tang Dynasty, no heavy troops were sent in Liaozhou City, Jian'an City, Anshi and other places, and only a few civilian officials were left to manage. This is obviously an annoying game - don't worry about Gai Suwen's counterattack, I don't look down on him at all!
Gai Suwen really didn't dare to regain these places, the last big battle caused a lot of losses in his troops, so he had to slow down, and he had to leave some strength to monitor Gaozang.
But he fell in love with the domestic city on the west bank of the Yalu River, nine hundred miles upstream. The domestic city retreated without a fight last time, and all the people and horses withdrew to the Jiang side, and the Tang Dynasty did not even send a civil official. Gai Suwen didn't take it himself, so that Gaozang's son Nanfu led people to easily reoccupy the city.
Gao Zang longed for Gai Suwen to be defeated in front of him, so that he could remove his biggest threat. But he did not dare not move when he received the letter from Gai Suwen, and asked someone to go to the inner city to inform his son what to do, and to do it immediately without delay.
What can Male Forsey do after thinking about it? He selected four beauties in the city, sixteen or seventeen years old, all handsome and lovable, and sent an envoy to bring them to Tang Ying.
The imperial camp of the Tang Emperor has been anchored on Phoenix Mountain, if for the stability of Goryeo, he only had to canonize Gai Suwen last time, so that he would have no follow-up. But he didn't do it, he refused to let some guys in the country taste the sweetness of self-respect.
They are only right if they obey.
The emperor made up his mind, next time he would not come in person, only let Xue Li come. In the future, he will do it every year, as long as it is the season of farming and clearing the wasteland, and he will spit out the superiority of the whole country of Goryeo since the Great War of the Sui Dynasty little by little, until they truly surrender.
At this time, the messenger of Nanfu took four beauties to the imperial camp of the Tang Dynasty. He trembled, knelt down more than 20 steps outside the big tent, walked on his knees, and replied in the tent, "The king of Tibet sent a small minister to offer four maids to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to relieve His Majesty's saddle horse fatigue......"
"How?" The emperor looked at the four handsome Goryeo women kneeling underneath and asked the envoy.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister came on horseback."
"You're very good, you can ride a horse across the duck water."
"Back to ...... Back to your Majesty, the ministers are from the inner city, and they do not need to take a boat," replied the messenger.
The emperor said, "I had an edict when I withdrew last time, and the west of Yalushui is the ground of the Tang Dynasty, what is going on?" The messenger could not answer. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, replied, "Your Majesty, you didn't send an assassin in the city last time. ”
The messenger hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we, the king of Zao, have just sent his son Nanfu to govern the city on his behalf!" His Royal Highness Nanfu has already said that as long as the Tang Dynasty assassination history goes, he will immediately cross the river, otherwise Gai Suwen will not be able to explain there......"
The Tang Emperor said, "Then send an assassin to the past," he asked the civil officials under him, "who wants to govern the domestic city on my behalf?" The envoy reminded, "Your Majesty, His Highness Nanfu said that His Majesty's people need to bring some soldiers with them when they go, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Gai Suwen when he returns." ”
"One person stabbed history, and ten people were escorted...... Who goes? After the emperor said this, a while later, the Taile Department of Night Music, who had tuned the butterfly harp for him overnight in Ouchi last time, stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go." From Le Zheng to the history of assassination, it is not possible to have a little courage.
This expedition was different from the last one, and the emperor brought the butterfly harp. The emperor agreed that Le Zheng should go to the inner city, and said to the Goryeo envoy, "Then I will give the man a butterfly qin, which is the spoils of my Tianshan herdsman and some men and horses when he recovered the two cities of Qiuzi." Now that my music is a stabbing history, let the piano play with the male blessing. Goryeo abandoned martial arts and cultivated literature in order to achieve long-term peace and stability. ”
The emperor looked at the four women again, and everyone looked worried, and said, "The lustful person is valued by everyone, and then let him go to his relatives to hurt his heart, I don't take it, go home." The four women bowed again and again.
Gai Suwen soon received the news of Nanfu, at this time Nanfu had arrived on the side of the river, saying that the Tang Dynasty had seized the domestic city with 100,000 soldiers, and he and those subordinates finally managed to get out of the siege to survive, and won a butterfly piano and transferred it to Gai Suwen.
Gai Suwen was shocked, and received the news that he had gone to Pyongyang to order his own soldiers, saying that the Tang Zhou Division had reached the coast, and the landing men and horses had seized the two cities of Hwangryong and Yashan outside Pyongyang.
Pyongyang is lost, so what is he still doing here! The generals below saw the panic in the heart of the Lord General from the panicked look that Gai Suwen instantly revealed.
Gai Suwen instructed that the four cities along the river bluffed their flags and deceived the Tang army on the other side and did not dare to act rashly, and the main forces of the four cities should draw troops back to Pyongyang at night, one to the west side of Pyongyang City to resist the Tang Naval Division, and the other to the south bank of the Qingchuan River in the north of Pyongyang, relying on the two cities of Jiatou and Changyuan and arranging defense along the river.
As soon as Gai Suwen issued this order, the scouts patrolling the high mountains on the other side of the Yalushui River discovered that night, and the Goryeo people and horses were secretly mobilizing and retreating. They flew to report to the Chinese army, and the emperor said, "Let Xue Li move." ”
Gasuwen's camp was also set up, and the sergeants hurriedly sorted out the tents and other things and loaded them, and everyone was bored and bored, just begging to leave the place as soon as possible.
The guards surrounded Gai Suwen and his entourage out of the tent and got on the horse, and there was chaos in the distance, and someone shouted, "The Tang army has been killed from the ancient city of Toushan!" I saw a Tang general with a white horse and white robe, holding a silver dragon-like halberd in his hand, as if entering a no-man's land, and quickly rushed to the core regardless of it.
Gai Suwen urged the horse to run, and more than a dozen of his subordinates rushed up to intercept Xue Li, where could he intercept it, in the blink of an eye, the three generals died unexpectedly, and the rest of the people lost their soldiers and ran away, and the mountains and fields were full of routs. Xue Li waved his army and killed him, beheading more than thousands, and when he saw that he could no longer catch up with the enemy general, he turned around and killed him.
There are more than a dozen huge ships on the Yalu River that are crossing troops to the other side, and the Tang army also appeared behind them, and the few people left in the four cities of Baima, Qianchuan, Guanfu and Gucheng immediately opened the city and surrendered, and the Tang army entered the city.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't want to cross the river, but someone from the rear led a person with an iron chain and sent it, saying that it was sent by Gao Junrang from Xizhou. The emperor interrogated him overnight, and then changed his mind - he also crossed the river.
