Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shame of the Gate
The atmosphere in the conference room, at this time, has been completely exaggerated by a tragic situation, this is the first time Zhao Chen has encountered such a situation after coming to Datang for so long.
The slightly stunned gaze swept from the veterans in front of him one by one, looking at the faces of the veterans, the tragic aura revealed at the moment, deep in his heart, as if something touched slightly.
However, it was this slight touch, and the blood in the whole body suddenly flowed rapidly at this moment, causing Zhao Chen's heartbeat to suddenly speed up, and his fists clenched even more suddenly.
"The last general, Zhang Gongjin, is willing to be His Majesty's pawn!"
"The last general's military department is still the book Hou Junji, and he is willing to be a pawn of His Majesty!"
“……”
In the conference room, there was another sound of ping-pong chairs moving, and then, Zhang Gongjin and Hou Junji also stood up from their seats, bowed slightly to Li Er, and spoke.
A person's emotions are easily affected by the surrounding environment, so after Hou Junji and Zhang Gongjin both stood up, Zhao Chen, who was originally sitting there, suddenly stood up and stood there and bowed slightly to Li Er.
However, before he could say what he wanted to say, he saw Li Er, who was sitting at the end of the long table, suddenly stood up and nodded vigorously at the generals below.
Then, his eyes looked at the veterans present with a little excitement, and said in a deep voice: "I have you, Datang has you who are brave and brave in a hundred battles, just a Goguryeo, what a worry!" ”
However, when these words fell, before the generals could speak, Li Er, who was listening, suddenly changed his tone, and said again: "Yes." The Tang Dynasty is not yet the time to move the people against Goguryeo! ”
No war?
Zhao Chen, who was originally infected by the emotions of the veterans and became hot-headed, suddenly heard Li Er's words, and suddenly couldn't help but raise his head, with a slight surprise on his face.
He was a little puzzled just now. Because, in his memory, it seems that Li Er really drove to Goguryeo in person, it was still a matter of more than ten years in Zhenguan, how could it be advanced to it, a full ten years!
However, memory is memory, and the scene in the conference room in front of him told him clearly. Li Er is about to prepare for the crusade against Goguryeo, and the veterans are here, so the army is moving, probably in advance!
But now, Li Er actually said this again, which suddenly made Zhao Chen a little confused, and said in his heart that since he didn't do anything to Goguryeo. Then why do you want to mobilize before the war?
After saying that, the veterans present. They were all excited to swing, so they almost didn't pick up the big knife, and flew directly to the city of Liaodong, and followed the Goguryeo people, and started directly!
The most important thing is that he was also infected by the emotions of the veterans, and he was hot-headed. actually took the initiative to ask Li Ersheng, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Ershengsheng!
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly despise Li Er. The scene that Li Er made today is pure idle egg pain, and he has nothing to do with the veterans to have fun!
Not only Zhao Chen, but also Cheng Yanjin also looked disappointed, like Zhao Chen, raised his head slightly, looked at Li Er with a puzzled expression, and said in extreme disappointment: "What does Your Majesty mean, don't you fight for the time being?" ”
When Cheng Yanjin asked this, except for Li Jing, including Lao Qin and Li Daozong, all of them were like Cheng Yanjin, raising their heads with a confused face, looking at Li Er above, their eyes were full of disappointment.
"Fight!" When Li Er heard Cheng Yanjin's words, he glanced at the map of Liaodong on the wall at the other end, and then, retracting his gaze, looking at the veterans in front of him, his tone paused slightly, and said: "However, it's not a labor force!" ”
When he said this, Li Er saw Cheng Yanjin and the others, and they all looked at him in confusion, so he groaned a little and said: "Now is not the time to mobilize the people against Goguryeo, because the Tang Dynasty still needs to focus more energy on the north!" ”
"Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, and even the Western Turks in the Western Regions, Gaochang, etc., are all staring at the Tang Dynasty!" Li Er looked at the veterans in front of him, and said in a solemn tone: "Therefore, if the labor division goes on an expedition at this time, it will undoubtedly ignore the safety of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"And what does Your Majesty mean?" Li Daozong, who was standing opposite Cheng Yanjin, heard Li Er's obvious and somewhat contradictory words at this time, and immediately glanced at a few people beside him suspiciously, and then looked at Li Er again with his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression.
Li Er put on a posture from the beginning to step on Goguryeo, which caused them to think that if they could run to Goguryeo, they could finally clean up Goguryeo.
Unexpectedly, Li Er actually said that he was not in a hurry to attack Goguryeo, but then when he was asked by Cheng Yanjin, he said that he was going to fight.
This is obvious, and there is a bit of a contradiction before and after, which makes him a little confused for a while, whether His Majesty the Emperor will fight or not, and look at the expressions of Cheng Yanjin and Li Xiaogong, it is also like him, it is estimated that he is completely stunned at this time!
"Your Majesty means, is it a surprise attack?" Among the veterans present, I am afraid that it is only Li Jing and Li Ji, who are the first to understand Li Er's meaning.
Therefore, when Li Daozong's words fell, Li Ji, who had been frowning and contemplative, suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Er thoughtfully, and suddenly asked tentatively.
"Surprise attack?" As soon as Li Ji's words came out, Cheng Yanjin had already turned his head strangely, looked at Li Ji opposite, and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean, why can't I understand this?" ”
It's just that Li Ji didn't understand what Cheng Biting Jin said, but Li Jing and Hou Junji over there had already reacted, and when they heard Li Ji's words one by one, their eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly.
"It's a surprise attack!" Li Er ignored Cheng Yanjin's question, but took Li Ji's words and continued: "Because what I want is not the city of Goguryeo, but the 300,000 loyal souls and righteous bones on the south bank of Maqishui!" ”
When Li Er said this, his eyes suddenly looked at the map opposite, staring at the map, the place where Ma Lishui seemed to be able to penetrate, and said in a faint voice: "Since I ascended the throne, every time I think of the 300,000 soldiers lying on the south bank of Ma Lishui, it is difficult to sleep and eat, and it is time for them to come back!" ”
With Li Er's words, in the conference room that was still arguing just now, suddenly, it fell into silence!
One by one, their faces all returned to their previous tragic grandeur, their eyes were like Li Er's, looking back at the map, where Ma Lishui was, his fists were clenched little by little.
In the final analysis, from the very beginning when I heard Li Er talk about Goguryeo, these veterans showed tragic expressions one by one, in fact, it was for the 300,000 loyal souls of this horse and water!
Because, this is a shame that belongs to the entire Jiangmen!
In that year, Emperor Yang mobilized more than 2 million soldiers and civilians across the country to go to Liaodong, but because of Emperor Yang's benevolent and righteous army, the soldiers on the front line were constrained everywhere.
Obviously, after the success of the war, Goguryeo could be flattened overnight, but as a result, it was deceived by a Goguryeo man again and again, and many opportunities were missed in vain, and finally the army of more than 2 million was dragged down in Liaodong!
Moreover, the most unacceptable thing is that at that time, seeing that the siege was blocked, he divided a total of 300,000 troops from the main army on nine routes, bypassed Anshi City, and went north along the Liaoshui River to attack Pyongyang City.
And the final consequence is that these 300,000 troops, who were about to capture Pyongyang, were still surrendered by Goguryeo, and they were stuck in place, putting the fruits of victory in front of them, but they didn't dare to pick them!
It's a pity that these 30 armies stayed in place, and before the holy decree of Emperor Yang came, they waited for the Goguryeo people's dark Chencang, which cut off the grain route of the army, so the 300,000 army that had no choice but to retreat regrettably.
It's just a pity that everything is too late, and the Goguryeo people at this time have already set up all the ambushes on the way back of the army, and when the army arrives at Maqishui and starts to cross the river, the ambush soldiers are everywhere!
At the beginning, when starting from Liaodong City, there were 300,000 troops, but later, when they returned to Liaodong City, there were 300,000 people, and only more than 2,700 people remained!
A full 300,000 people were left behind in Malishui!
However, what is even more sad and indignant is that subsequently, news came from Maqishui, the Goguryeo people were killed, and all the soldiers who were captured in Maqishui, a whole of hundreds of thousands, built a huge Jingguan on the south bank of Maqishui!
And the so-called Beijing Spectators are to use soil and the bones of dead soldiers in the same place to pile up a high platform, so as to show off their martial arts and intimidation to each other!
The time when this Jingguan was built was the first time that Emperor Yang personally acquired it, and now a full few decades have passed, but that Jingguan is still on the south bank of Maqishui, and it still shows the original Goguryeo martial arts to people at home and abroad!
Even if the Goguryeo people were sent by Gao Jianwu not long ago, they were sent by Gao Jianwu to present Li Er with a map of the Goguryeo region, but the matter of Jingguan has not been mentioned in Goguryeo until now!
This is the shame of the entire Jiangmen, as long as the Jingguan on the south bank of Maqishui continues to exist for one day, it is equivalent to someone slapping the Jiangmen every day, and the cheeks are hot and painful!
It is precisely because of this that the veterans just now all showed such impatient expressions, just to be able to expect the army to pass over and destroy the Jingguan built by the Goguryeo people with their own hands!
It's just that at this time, when I heard the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, saying that I would attack Ma Yanshui and destroy the Jingguan, although this final starting point was the same as theirs.
However, none of the veterans present were excited when they looked at Ma Lishui on the map! (To be continued.) )
