In fact, it is true that the 100,000 army is by no means swept away by a great flood, and not even a tenth of them actually died in the water.

But this kind of thing is not calculated according to numbers, 10,000 dead is really nothing for an army of 400,000, but who can guarantee that the guys who survived that kind of monstrous waves can really continue to go to war?

After suffering a defeat and even his own generals died in the water, can a soldier have no ideas? Can morale still be as high as it was at the beginning?

In ancient times, it was always heard that hundreds of people were running after tens of thousands of people, why is that? It's not because of morale, the army that has never had morale is not going to talk about fighting, and even robbery is not useful.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Zangwu and Quangai Suwen will be so depressed, they all know that the group of 100,000 people has been abolished, and the soldiers will have no will to fight, and then let them go to the battlefield to face Li Chengqian's Liaodong Army, I am afraid that these soldiers will mutiny at the first time.

What to do? What to do? Even with the experienced veteran general Etoji Wende died, the death was not clear, it was not clear, it was not clear, and he died without even seeing the face of the enemy!

Although it is said that the old guy's death is likely to be because he couldn't figure it out for a while, but death is death, who cares what you are for, anyway, this account must be calculated on Li Chengqian's body.

"Mo Lizhi, let's talk about it, do you want to fight or not?" Gao Zangwu is now coerced, talking about Tang Color, if it weren't for the fact that this dispatch of troops was the result of mutual compromise between the major families, I am afraid that he would have submitted a letter of surrender to Li Chengqian.

"It has to be fought." Quan Gai Suwen said hatefully: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, even if we don't want to fight, can Li Chengqian let us go?" What they are fighting is the war of annihilation, even if we surrender, it will be a dead end in the end! ”

Gao Zangwu stopped squeaking and began to ponder the correctness of Quangai Suwen's words.

Seeing that Gao Zangwu didn't speak, Quangai Suwen continued: "Your Majesty, what are you still hesitating about? But don't you believe the minister's words? Think about what happened to the Turkic Khan, think about what happened to the Tibetan Zampu, don't you understand what will happen to us after surrendering? ”

"After all, they invaded the Tang Dynasty first, and we ......," Gao Zangwu said hesitantly.

"So what? It can be seen from the Tang Emperor's personal expedition and the prince's personal expedition that the Tang Dynasty must destroy my Great Goguryeo and then hurry up! Silla and Baekje at most just want to regain their own land, but Datang is not, Datang wants to destroy the country, Your Majesty! Quangai Suwen looked at Gao Zangwu, and he wanted to cut off his head with a knife.

When has this been the case, and you still want to surrender, and you don't want to think about the current situation as something that can be solved by surrendering?

Expecting the Tang prince to let go of the fat in his mouth? How is this possible!

Who doesn't know how famous and meritorious the war of annihilation will be, and under such temptation, Li Chengqian will not agree to Goguryeo's request to surrender at all as long as he is not stupid.

It is even possible that he ostensibly accepted the surrender and turned his face and sold Goguryeo.

After all, judging from the rumors outside, Li Chengqian's guy is a cold-blooded butcher who has no faith or righteousness, and it is not strange that he does anything.

"So you mean to continue to fight Li Chengqian and find an opportunity to fight him?" Gao Zangwu asked knowingly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this battle must be fought no matter what, Li Chengqian and Goguryeo, one must fall first, and this war will end." Quan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"Alas......" Gao Zang Wu let out a long sigh after a long pause, and asked hesitantly, "How likely do you think it is that we will unite Silla and Baekje to fight against the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Contact Silla and Baekje!" Quan Gai Suwen's eyes lit up, and he never expected that Gao Zangwu, who seemed to him to be useless, would have such a political consciousness and would think of such a method.

"Yes, by contacting Silla and Baekje, we can promise to return the land that usurped them, but they need to join forces with us to fight against the Tang Dynasty." As the saying goes, if you are poor, you change, and if you change, after being forced to a dead end, Gao Zangwu's brain suddenly became much better.

"Yes, Your Majesty's plan is too good, we can completely complain about Silla and Baekje, if my Great Goguryeo is destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, then it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty will do something to them next." The others who had not spoken all this time also opened their minds and echoed them.

Gao Zangwu's words seemed to open a window in the sealed room, so that everyone who was about to suffocate desperately came up, everyone was expressing their opinions, but without exception, they all expressed support for Gao Zangwu's decision.

With this decision in place, the next thing was much simpler, and an envoy was sent back overnight with the national letter of Gozang Wuxinshu, striving to negotiate a cooperation plan with Silla and Baekje before the decisive battle with the Tang army.

And just when the people of Goguryeo were discussing the plan of Lianheng and planning to fight with Li Zaiqian's Liaodong Army, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty also led his troops to complete the landing and came to the east bank of Yalu Water.

"Uncle Daozong, the Liaodong Army will be handed over to you in the future, unless you can't let it fight with Goguryeo!" After landing and rolling the camp, Li Chengqian also received a recall decree from Chang'an, and although he was unwilling, he still honestly handed over the military power to Li Daozong.

"Don't worry, after such a long time, even if Uncle Wang is stupid, he knows that your Liaodong Legion is different from the Sixteen Guards, and he won't let them fight hard with Goguryeo." Li Daozong suppressed the excitement in his heart and agreed.

For half a year, listening to and watching, it was all kinds of unexpected performances of the Liaodong Army, if Li Daozong didn't want to take such an army to fight a few battles, it would be nonsense.

The Liaodong Army is not the Sixteenth Guard, nor is it an ordinary government army, this is the essence of all the six rates of Prince Li Chengqian, whether it is equipment or morale, it is the highest in the whole army.

As a general, who doesn't want to lead the strongest army? Who doesn't want to make a difference? Goguryeo has little troops left at the moment, as long as he fights one or two more battles, he can complete a battle to destroy the country, can Li Daozong be unhappy?

However, just as Li Daozong was excitedly gearing up, Li Chengqian suddenly asked, "Has Uncle Wang ever thought about Silla and Baekje?" ”

"Silla, Baekje? What do you mean? Li Daozong was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, Uncle Wang thinks that after conquering Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje will still exist? On the side of the couch, there is no room for others to sleep soundly! ”
