Chapter 443: Momentum (Medium)

()

Under the shelling of Wei Chigong, the gate of Liaodong City only lasted less than a stick of incense before it collapsed.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the city had long since become a flock of frightened birds, and when the city gate collapsed, they lost their last support, and the little morale they had accumulated was also depleted.

After the city gate fell, it only took one hour for Wei Chigong to completely control this Xiongcheng that once made Yang Guang grit his teeth, but he was helpless.

The next morning, when the news of the fall of Liaodong City came out, the entire Goguryeo aristocracy was shaken!

"What? Liaodong City lost? ”

"Impossible! That is our Goguryeo Fortress second to none except for Ji'an! ”

"Oh my God, are we going to finish Goguryeo?"

They didn't dare to imagine that the Liaodong City, where they had once resisted the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty, was so broken, and the soldiers who went to the war were almost wiped out!

In the face of such a war situation, the actual ruler of Goguryeo, who was far away in Pyongyang, the famous dictator in history, Quan Gaisu, could not sit still.

"Pass the order, order Ji'an to send troops to reinforce Xincheng, I will personally lead troops to reinforce Jian'an City, and I must not let the Tang army go any further, and immediately send people to surrender to the Tang people, whether they accept it or not, delay it for a while!"

As he spoke, Izumi Gaisu took off the saber he hung on the wall, and then couldn't wait to go out, but before he could walk out, a voice behind him was underwhelming.

"Enlightenment...... Qiyu Da faced Lu, Xincheng and Jian'an City were also lost, and before the Tang army broke through Liaodong City, they had already taken Xincheng and Jian'an City. ”

“……”

Hearing this, Quan Gaisu's eyes suddenly widened, and Li's saber also fell to the ground with a "snap".

……

Goguryeo sent someone to surrender, and after receiving the news, Gao Ming, who was eating breakfast, couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, here you come again, do you want to delay time by surrendering? The Goguryeo people are really still so shameless, do they think I'm Yang Guang's stupid talent? ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Hou Junji, who came to report.

"Say, what conditions do they have? I'm not going to say yes, but I'm idle right now, so I'd have some fun. ”

Have some fun while you're idle......

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji immediately showed a wry smile on his face, and then arched towards him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the envoys of Quan Gaisu said that they are willing to withdraw their troops from Silla and will not attack Silla from now on, and in addition, they are also willing to compensate me with 100,000 taels of gold from the Tang Dynasty."

"Hahahaha......"

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, Gao Ming burst out laughing, leaning forward and back with a smile, and patting his thighs while laughing.

"Hahahaha...... These Goguryeo stick heads are really in the water, and they have a dog bite dog affair with Silla sticks? He also negotiated with me on the condition of withdrawing troops from Silla, which is really laughing to death, and said that he would compensate me with 100,000 taels of gold? He thought Lao Tzu hadn't seen money? ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly took several deep breaths before he could stop laughing, and then swung towards Hou Junji.

"You go and tell them that there is only one way for Goguryeo now, and that is to surrender unconditionally, lift all resistance, and wait for the final judgment of my Tang Dynasty."

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's condition, Hou Junji was stunned for a moment.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen thinks that Quan Gaisu will not accept this condition."

"It's best not to accept it!"

Gao Ming stood up as he spoke, and then looked into the distance.

"Now that we have taken Liaodong City, Xincheng City, and Jian'an City, Goguryeo has lost its most important military defense force, and then, as long as we take the two big cities of Marudu and Ji'an, we can drive straight into and attack Pyongyang City, the royal capital of Goguryeo, and at that time...... Hum! ”

Gao Ming didn't say the rest of the words, but Hou Junji already understood, so a little smile appeared on his face.

"Wechen understands, since we can easily break through Liaodong City, the remaining cities are not a problem, Wechen will go and reply to the envoys of Goguryeo!"

"Wait!"

Seeing Hou Junji turn around to leave, Gao Ming felt that he stopped him, and then grinned at him.

"In this case, you go and tell the envoys of Goguryeo that we need to consider it and ask them to send a more powerful person to negotiate with us."

"Huh?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji's eyes suddenly widened.

"But just now, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you say that you would not accept their surrender?"

Looking at Hou Junji's shocked look, Gao Ming suddenly sighed helplessly.

"Alas, I said Lu Guogong, have you fought for so many years in vain? I told him to think about it and lie to him, the purpose was just to make Quan Gaisu relax his vigilance, as soon as he walked on the front foot, I immediately sent troops to fight their Ji'an City on the back foot, this is called the soldier is not tired of deceit, you drop...... Got it? ”

“……”

Looking at Gao Ming, who was raising his eyebrows, Hou Junji felt that his view was refreshed at once.

He never thought that there would be such a brazen person in the world, and while sending people to negotiate with the other party, he would secretly send troops to fight other people's cities.

Even if the soldiers don't get tired of cheating, it's not such a trick, right?

That's too bad!

Thinking of this, Hou Junji immediately gritted his teeth, and then bowed to Gao Mingshen.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is really ...... It's really damaging to my Datang's face, and if it spreads, I'm afraid it will make people laugh, so ......"

"So you shut up for me!"

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, Gao Ming glared at him fiercely.

"History is always written by the winner, I don't care what face, I only know that this can make my Tang soldiers bleed less, and let me go back to accompany my wife and children as soon as possible, the rest of the Lao Tzu doesn't care, whoever wants to laugh will let him laugh, and he has the ability to bite me!"

“……”

Hou Junji never thought that Gao Ming would jump out of such a sentence, and he suddenly became speechless.

Just as he was stunned, a burst of laughter came from outside the gate.

"Hahahaha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it well, as long as you can win as soon as possible and let the soldiers go home early, whoever wants to laugh let him laugh!"

"I think the same way Lao Cheng, hahahaha......"

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming immediately looked out of the door, and after seeing the person clearly, he suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong, why are you here?"

The people who came in at this time were Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin, and after they came in, they saluted Gao Ming together, and then smiled at Gao Ming.

"The old minister is here for the envoys of Goguryeo, so I specially ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to negotiate with the Goguryeo people, presumably in the name of my Li Jing, the Goguryeo people should not suspect it!"

As soon as Li Ji's words fell, Cheng Yanjin also nodded.

"I'm also here to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his life, now that Goguryeo is newly defeated, there must be a shortage of troops, so it's better to take this opportunity to attack Marudu City and Ji'an, I think I can succeed in a battle!"

Hearing the words of the two, Gao Ming immediately slapped his face.

"Okay, just do as the two princes say, this time Lao Tzu has to kill such a Goguryeo stick!"
