Li Zhi, who was already worried, listened to Li Hong's words, looked at his son who did not argue with him, and began to beat drums in his heart.

And he didn't know that Li Hong originally asked Ge Hee Won to inform Chebi He Li and Li Jinxing to delay the march, which was deliberately to give Silla and Baekje time to fight outside the Goguryeo royal city.

In this way, Li Hong was able to cooperate with Liu Renliang inside the city, and with Chebi Ho Li and Li Jinxing outside the city, and wiped out the forces of Silla and Baekje soldiers under the city.

And the advantage of this is that at least it can guarantee that within ten years, Silla, Baekje, or Goguryeo, whoever wants to unite with the other to annex the other family, is powerless, at most, the three families often have some laughter and small local wars on the frontier.

In this way, Datang can naturally sit back and relax, and when they have ten years of recuperation and recuperation, or when they see them growing, they can sow discord among the three families and let them continue to fight, and Datang can mediate again when their troops are almost consumed.

The best outcome is that we hope that the internal fighting on the Korean Peninsula will continue in this way, and there will never be a situation in which one country will become bigger or unified.

But just like that sentence, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate, Li Hong's good strategy was so easily destroyed by his dragon father, and it is very likely to attract a fatal blow.

I can't say, but when it dawns tomorrow, the mountains outside Ryukyungseong will be full of Silla and Baekje troops.

Hua Meng and the prince's personal guards walked in with a few vendors dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and those vendors, although they lowered their heads on the way in, their eyes kept glancing around, and they didn't look like ordinary vendors.

Li Hong knew that he had no extra time to waste on these vendors, and looking at the appearance of these people, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary vendor, and it was definitely the meticulous work of Silla and Baekje who infiltrated Liujing.

Motioning to the cheetah to put the desk in front of the courtiers on the side in front of the vendors, then threw the horizontal knife in his hand to Hua Meng, turned his head and beckoned to the still trembling tongue man next to Gao Zang, and asked him to come over.

Seeing the tongue man bending over and walking up to him to salute, Li Hong stopped the tongue man's emaciated shoulders and said lightly: "Tell them that I will only ask a question once, and if you refuse to answer, I will chop off one of his fingers, and if you answer honestly, I will naturally let it go." ”

The tongue man immediately translated the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty to the few traders who were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind them, and at this time, their hands that were originally tied behind their backs were held down by the prince's guards and put their hands on the table.

The courtiers of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, Goguryeo's Gozang and his other courtiers didn't know how Li Hong would interrogate these people, but when he heard the chopping fingers, Gao Zang still couldn't help but shrink his fat fingers into his palms, as if Li Hong would chop his fingers first.

Zhang Lushui listened to Li Hong's faint words, or the so-called sixth sense of a woman, in short, she still felt a faint impatience and murderous aura from Li Hong's mouth, so she couldn't help but clenched Li Zhi's hand a little nervously, which naturally attracted Li Zhi's comforting smile.

"Who are you?" The tongue man quickly translated Li Hong's first question.

The five vendors looked at each other blankly, and then said in unison, "Xiaomin is a vendor." ”

"One for each person, chop." Li Hong's voice was very soft, and it didn't even look like he was talking about a punishment.

"Ahh

A series of screams appeared out of thin air in the palace, and some timid courtiers, looking at the fingers that fell from the desk, trembled all over, and fainted directly.

The screams of the five vendors still echoed in the palace, because their fingers were chopped off, and the pain of their fingers connecting their hearts made them have to shake violently to relieve the pain, but their two arms were stuck on the desk and could not move.

Goguryeo King Gozang, when he heard the first scream, his face suddenly turned white again, and his fat body shook for a while before he stabilized, but he didn't dare to look at the five hands that were bleeding anymore.

And Zhang Lushui, who was next to Li Zhi, snuggled in Li Zhi's arms for the first time, closed his eyes tightly, covered his ears with his hands, and his heart was beating with a pop, as if he would jump out of his mouth because of nervousness and fear in the next moment.

Without Li Hong to speak, several soldiers of the Prince's Guard, hearing their heart-rending screams, and then looking at His Majesty's deep frowns, took out a piece of cloth from his arms and stuffed it into the mouths of the five traders who were still screaming and moaning.

Suddenly, all that remained of the entire palace was a thin whining, and the scalp-numbing screams finally disappeared.

Li Hong didn't warn them a second time, and still repeated lightly: "Who are you?" From left to right, answer one by one. ”

"The little people are really traders." As soon as the rag in his mouth was removed, the vendor shouted with snot and tears streaming down his eyes.

"Chop." Li Hong's voice was still soft.

The rag was immediately stuffed into his mouth, and then the other four vendors rushed to the desk and shook, and the vendor's other finger fell to the ground.

"You say." Li Hong stared at the second vendor and said lightly.

And when it was the third turn, the merchant was crushed by Li Hong's forced interrogation of his fingers, shouting tears and snot, enduring the hot numbness and deep burning pain from his fingers, and begged for mercy: "I said, I said, I said, we are the fine work of Silla and Baekje." ”

"When did you enter the city?"

"They just arrived yesterday, and they just arrived today." The vendor pointed to the two vendors who had just had two fingers cut off.

"What is your purpose?"

"To find out the truth of Liujing, it is best to find out how many soldiers and horses are stationed in Liujing City."

"The Tang army went out of the city last night, did you send any news?" Li Hong's eyes narrowed into a slit, but the cold light and killing intent were even stronger, that is, Gao Zang and Li Zhi, as well as the green water, although the three of them faced Li Hong's back, they could still feel the coldness in Li Hong's words.

"If you don't send it out, Xiaomin won't dare."

"Chop. Next. Li Hong said coldly to the executioner Hua Meng.

"Ahh Before the vendor could scream, the rag in the soldier's hand behind him was shoved into his mouth for the first time.

"Fingers and honest answers, can only be like a crow. Last night, the Tang army went out of the city, did you send news. The wound on the fourth vendor's chopped finger at this time was only numb, and even the little pain disappeared, but the beads of sweat on his face were enough to show that he was about to faint from the pain at this moment.

"Sent out, a total of 50,000 people from the Tang Army and the Goguryeo coalition army went out of the city, and the direction should be to go to the frontier to support the border army of Goguryeo. Liujing City now only has 20,000 people from His Majesty the Tang Emperor Jin Wuwei and 3,000 guards from the Tang Prince. The vendor endured the sudden tingling sensation from the wound and said happily.

"How many people are there in total from the Silla and Baekje coalition forces?"

"Seventy thousand."

"When will you arrive outside Liujing City?"

"Tomorrow morning." The vendor hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Hua Meng raise the horizontal knife in his hand, he immediately blurted out.

"There are no more people in the city who don't have you."

"Yes."

"How many?"

"One hundred and forty-seven."

"What's the use?"

"Cooperate with the coalition forces inside and outside, and when the coalition forces attack the city, create chaos in the city, so that the defense of the upper defense is overwhelmed."

"Go down and bandage your wounds, find those people at once, and put them all in jail." Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing speaking, looking at the five traders being dragged away, he only realized at this time, whether it was the courtiers on the Tang side or the courtiers on the Goguryeo side, his eyes were full of fear, and no one even dared to look at him.

No matter who his gaze swept on, whether it was a courtier of the Tang Dynasty or Goguryeo, that person definitely lowered his head for the first time, and he didn't dare to look at himself.

"Father, son, please leave Liujing immediately and cross the river to Humiliation City." Li Hong turned around, looked at the dragon father who was standing there a little distracted, and said in a relaxed tone.

"No retreat." Li Zhi slowly raised his head, looked at Li Hong with a firm look in his eyes and said.

Li Hong looked at Li Zhi's appearance, and rolled his eyes helplessly, at this time, Daddy Long's stubborn temper was done, and he really knew how to find the time.

"Father, it is said that there are 70,000 people, but Erchen estimates that there will definitely not be only 70,000 people who will appear outside Liujing City tomorrow, and 20,000 Jin Wuwei will be able to hold Liujing City, there is no doubt about it, but 20,000 people, plus 3,000 people plus Erchen, and the people of Liujing, it is far from being able to defend the offensive of 70,000 people." Li Hong had no choice but to be patient and analyze the next battle situation with Li Zhi.

"I can't withdraw, I withdraw, what are you going to do? Do you want me to leave you, the prince, alone? I can't do it. Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, and his rare eyes flashed with the same look that sometimes Wu Mei occasionally looked at Li Hong.

Li Hong sighed again, although his heart became warm because of his father's words, but at this moment, it was not the time for children to grow up.

What's more, he is not a fool, how can he stay and defend the royal city for Goguryeo? I'm crazy to do such a thing!

But this cannot be said now, otherwise, Goguryeo King Gozang and other courtiers will definitely have to retreat with Yongda, and at that time, there will be many people, and it is a question whether they can withdraw before the siege of Silla and Baekje.

Therefore, he needed his father to withdraw with Jin Wuwei immediately, and he stayed to stabilize Gozang and these Goguryeo people, and then find time to retreat, after all, when necessary, when his father led the army to cross the river, he also had to cover the safe crossing of the river between his father and Jin Wuwei.
