Chapter Eighty-Eight: Encounter

Liucheng.

After Li Kong and the others left for most of the day, Gao Huizhen led the team into the defeated city.

Looking at the ruined city, Gao Huizhen took a deep breath, who would have thought that thirty years ago, this place was still a Chang'an? Tens of thousands of people of the Tata tribe are here to recuperate and live a life without fighting?

"General, there is no one in the city, and the fire has been extinguished, shall we repair it here for a day?" A soldier interrupted Gao Huizhen's train of thought.

"No, the other party should see that the weather here is bad and can't carry out follow-up operations, so it is very likely that the troops have been withdrawn, and we will immediately go west and go straight to the pass, this is our only chance to gain the trust of Datang!" Gao Hui is really worthy of being a generation of generals, and he decisively gave the order to continue to move forward.

……

The heavy snow in Liaodong disappeared less than two hundred miles from the pass, and although the air still had an icy breath, at least there was no need to endure the freezing feeling when the ice and snow hit the face.

Walking out of the snow curtain, Li Kong turned around and looked at the snowflakes behind him, only a hundred meters away, but it was turned into two worlds by God, if there was a camera at this time, Li Kong would definitely not hesitate to take a picture of this scene, and then send it to the circle of friends to sigh.

It's just that now, this can only be used as a capital to brag about in front of others in the future?

Just as Li Kong was about to give the order to continue advancing, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves galloping behind them, which sounded like there were at least thousands of people.

The sudden change made Li Kong's expression change greatly, and he hurriedly raised his spear and said loudly: "Everyone obeys the order, stop on the spot immediately, turn the horse's head, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

While speaking, Li Kong also rushed out from both sides with the four deputy generals and more than a dozen personal guards, and when they stood in front of the rear team, the figures behind them were already clearly visible.

Not far away, Gao Huizhen galloped quickly, looking at the looming figure, he was overjoyed, and once again sped up, and said at the same time: "Everyone, we were abandoned by Yuangai Suwen at will, he wanted to let this heavy snow freeze us to death, and then slaughter my people, today, we will enter the Tang Dynasty, and we will let Yuangai Suwen die without a place to bury in the future, in front of you is the Tang Sergeant, you go with me to surrender!" ”

"Roar, roar, roar!" Everyone was excited, but they were not excited to be able to surrender Datang, but because they finally didn't have to face the heavy snow, the taste of running in the snow was so sour, they definitely didn't want to come again.

What's more, what Gao Huizhen said is also true, which of them, the people who live in the south and the people of the Yan tribe, was not shown by Yuan Taizuo to be as quick as possible?

Today's surrender to the Tang Dynasty may still leave some blood for the clansmen, but when they go back, their entire clan will definitely have the result of death and lifelessness.

Li Kong's ears moved, and he said, "Did you hear what the person on the other side said?" ”

The four lieutenants shook their heads in unison, the sound of the horses' hooves was too loud, and there were still hundreds of paces away, it was impossible to hear clearly.

"Everyone is ready for battle at any time!" Li Kong took a deep breath, directly smashed the spear on the ground, and looked coldly at the army opposite.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and soon there are less than 100 steps, and at this time, Li Kong also saw clearly the leader of the other party, and it was Gao Huizhen who escaped in Shanhaiguan last time.

The moment he saw Gao Huizhen, Li Kong's nerves tensed instantly, this is a difficult guy, now this is a wilderness again, although they have more than 2,000 people from the Yan tribe, but if they want to fight with the people of Goguryeo in this kind of place, it is estimated that it will be a disastrous victory in the end, and he will return to Beijing soon, Li Kong absolutely does not want this kind of thing to happen.

But turn around and run away? This is even more impossible, so at this time he can only bite the bullet and harden his anal.

At the same time, Gao Huizhen, who saw Li Kong's appearance clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and when the war horse ran to less than fifty steps away from Li Kong, he directly turned over and got off the horse, and arched his hand towards Li Kong: "The general hasn't seen you for a long time, I don't know if the general still remembers Gao?" ”

Li Kong was a little confused by Gao Huizhen's reaction, and then looked at the enemy soldiers who dismounted one after another, and he was even more confused, but the vigilance in his heart was raised by more than one level again.

"It turned out to be General Gao, is General Gao preparing to take revenge?" Li Kong grabbed the spear and turned it slightly, because of the coldness, the surface of the spear condensed into a thin layer of ice slag, and it made a crackling sound under the strong twist.

Gao Huizhen shook his head, directly pulled out the weapon on his waist, threw it to the ground, and said: "The general is wrong, Gao Mou brought people to surrender, and I hope that the general will not hold a grudge against Gao because of what happened some time ago, Gao Mou is grateful!" ”

Surrender?

Li Kong sneered and said, "General Gao said he was joking, right?" You are the son of the dignified Southern Sa, the future Sa, a general, and tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, how can you come to surrender? ”

Gao Huizhen was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know anything......

Then, Gao Huizhen roughly talked about the internal situation in Goguryeo, and then said what happened in Liaodong City the day before yesterday, the anger in his tone couldn't be fake, and when Gao Huizhen talked about Yuangai Suwen, the murderous intent in his eyes kept flashing, if he was lying, then it can only be said that Gao Huizhen's acting skills have reached a peak, and those actors in his previous life are estimated to be not even scum compared to him.

It's just that it is impossible for Li Kong to believe that Gao Hui is really sincere, not to mention Gao Hui's real ability, even the more than 10,000 people behind him, who can guarantee that the people inside will be sincere?

Looking at Li Kong's expression, Gao Huizhen instantly realized, turned around and said loudly: "Everyone, we have no way to retreat, there is Datang ahead, if you believe me, listen to me, throw away the weapons in your hands, we will go to Datang with the general, if someone is killed in Datang, Gao will never live alone!" ”

"General!" A lieutenant general hurriedly spoke, wanting to dissuade him, but Gao Huizhen shook his head and glared at him firmly.

The adjutant general had no choice but to throw away his weapon, and then the whole team seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding, and they threw away the weapons in their hands, just standing next to the war horse with their bare hands, looking at Li Kong in fear, for fear that the Tang general would cut off their heads and take them back to receive merit.

"I don't know the general, is it enough for Gao to be so sincere?"

Li Kong was shaken, at this time the distance between the two sides was only fifty steps, and a single sprint could chisel through this group of Goguryeo soldiers without blades, killing them, and this group of people did this, and the sincerity was indeed enough.

However, he pondered for a moment and then spoke: "General Gao is really a hero, but in order to prevent accidents, Li has to let General Gao and you suffer some hardships, and please don't resist, otherwise Li can only wield a butcher knife!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gao Huizhen's reaction, he said directly to Zhou Han: "Take a thousand people over, bind them all, and hand them over to Your Majesty when they arrive in Chang'an!" ”
