Chapter 438: Surprise Attack on Jian'an City (I)

()

Hearing Gao Ming say that he was going to fight Jian'an City directly, Zhang Liang and Hou Junji suddenly gasped together.

"Hiss......"

Gao Ming's idea is not bold, when Zhang Liang and the others were thinking about besieging Beisha City to contain the enemy's forces, he actually thought about taking Jian'an City, if it wasn't for the fact that they had analyzed the battle together just now, then the two would definitely think he was crazy.

However, despite this, Hou Junji still raised objections.

"No! His Royal Highness the Prince, Jian'an City is a big city in Goguryeo, and its importance is comparable to that of big cities like Jingzhao and Luoyang in my Tang Dynasty, with a maximum of 200,000 soldiers, and we can't take risks easily! ”

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, Zhang Liang also nodded.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, even if Quan Gaisu temporarily transferred troops, even if there are only 50,000 people in Jian'an City, I will only wait to go...... Just send ......"

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say the word "death", but Gao Ming already understood what he meant, and immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha, you mean if we go, it's just a head, right?"

"This ......"

Seeing that Zhang Liang wanted to explain something, Gao Ming immediately waved towards him.

"It's okay, I understand what you think, and I also know that Quan Gaisu is not a simple person, and I have never despised him!"

Gao Ming remembered that the great man's grandfather once said a sentence called "strategically to despise the enemy, tactically to attach importance to the enemy."

Gao Ming is convinced of this sentence.

Therefore, although he often called the Goguryeo people "sticks" in a contemptuous tone, he never underestimated Quan Gaisu, because he knew that Quan Gaisu was a very powerful military strategist and should never be taken lightly!

And in fact, Izumi Gaisu is really difficult to deal with.

According to historical records, Li Shimin fought Goguryeo a total of times during his reign, and although he had the advantage, he did not destroy Goguryeo.

When it came to the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he beat Goguryeo six times, and the last time it was because Quan Gaisu died and Goguryeo was in civil strife, and the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the destruction of Goguryeo.

Therefore, even Gao Ming had to admit that Quan Gaisu was really a talent.

Gao Ming summed up the conclusion that Quan Gaisu was very powerful from history, but Hou Junji and Zhang Liang experienced it firsthand, so they were so cautious.

And when Gao Ming personally said that Quan Gaisu was not simple, the two of them were even more puzzled on their faces, and Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask.

"Since Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about Quan Gaisu, then why are you still ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted him again with a smile.

"What you want to ask is, since I know that Quan Gaisu is so powerful, why do you dare to fight the idea of Jian'an City, right?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly snapped his fingers.

"The reason is very simple, because powerful people are usually very conceited, Quan Gaisu has already figured out that you don't dare to fight Jian'an, even if you know that Jian'an City may be empty, you don't dare!"

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly widened, but he was speechless.

Because he understands that what Gao Ming said is right.

Now that he has become a prince of the country, meritorious deeds are just icing on the cake, he doesn't need to take so much risk to build Ancheng, if he succeeds, it's fine, if he fails, it will be worth the loss.

Seeing Zhang Liang lower his head, Gao Ming immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you're trying to be safe, that's not wrong in itself, but you don't dare to take any chances, and it's even more impossible to win, Lord Xunguo, you raise your head."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang immediately raised his head, and Gao Ming immediately put his hands on his shoulders, and then looked at him.

"War is such a thing, the victory will be said to be fleeting, as the saying goes, reluctant children can't trap the wolf, this victory, the Goguryeo people can't jump up."

"But ......"

Zhang Liang seemed to be about to say something, but Gao Ming didn't give him a meeting and interrupted him again.

"Xun Guogong, you have to believe it, my judgment will not be wrong, now that our Tang Dynasty's million army is pressing, Quan Gaisu is really anxious, he is eager to solve the 100,000 cavalry of the Duke of Eguo first, so as to weaken our strength and hit our morale, think about it, if he doesn't draw a large number of troops from Jian'an and other cities, where is his 500,000 soldiers and horses?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang immediately frowned.

He found that what Gao Ming said was indeed reasonable, so that he had nothing to refute, but it was indeed very dangerous to fight Jian'an City, once it failed, there were a large number of chasing soldiers in Jian'an City in front, and there was a siege and interception of Beisha City in the back, then it would definitely be the annihilation of the whole army!

Thinking of this, he immediately turned his attention to Hou Junji for help.

Although Hou Junji had a lot of opinions about Zhang Liang at this time, he couldn't watch Gao Ming "die", so he could only stand up at this moment.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't we fight Beisha City first, and after we defeat Beisha City, we will have no worries, and we will ...... when the time comes."

"No way!"

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, Gao Ming shook his head at him.

"Jian'an City is located between Beisha City and Liaodong City, after we take Beisha City, the reinforcements of Liaodong City have already arrived in Jian'an City, and at that time we will go to Jian'an City to fight Jian'an City to find death!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately swung towards the two of them.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore, Zhang Liang listens to the order, let the soldiers make a fire to cook after dawn, and after we're full, we will go to Jian'an City, be sure to rush to Jian'an City before dark, no one can obstruct it, violators, behead!"

Hearing Gao Ming's categorical tone, Zhang Liang could only grit his teeth, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

After agreeing, Zhang Liang went down, and Hou Junji showed a wry smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have a noble status, why do you need to take this risk?"

"Adventure?"

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Gao Ming immediately grinned, and then shook his head towards Hou Junji.

"No, I never do anything that I am not sure of, I dare to guarantee that the number of troops in Jian'an City will not exceed 50,000 at most, and they are basically bows and crossbows."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Hou Junji's eyes suddenly widened.

"Then you still ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Hou Junji stopped.

He felt that Gao Ming must still be there, so his expression gradually relaxed, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has a countermeasure, and please ask His Highness to show it!"

Looking at the change in Hou Junji's expression, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"That's right, of course I have a countermeasure, 50,000 crossbowmen defending the city is indeed a big trouble, but if there is no city gate, do you think these bows and crossbows are still terrifying?"

No more gates? How is this possible?

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji immediately frowned.
