Chapter 175: Decapitation Successful
Shi Danai let Shi Heiyun and Shi Wufeng attack both sides, and he himself led the most elite troops straight to the Chinese army; The big rake in his hand was built fiercely, and the enemy soldiers who hit him cried and called for his mother, turned his head and ran back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The army behind was being driven by Li Qing to the sky and had no way to enter the ground, and suddenly found that the people in front of him rushed back, and without saying a word, they picked up their knives and guns and killed them; The scene was chaotic.
"Kill it!" Ge Qian took advantage of his own soldiers to entangle Cheng Yanjin, gathered some of the defeated soldiers, and rushed to the side of Xinshui, wanting to cross Xinshui to escape.
The men rushed across the pontoon bridge like crazy and rushed to the opposite side, but Ge Qian brandished his broadsword but couldn't rush through.
They had just crossed over and there were less than a thousand people, and suddenly there was an ambush on the opposite side, and Hua Rong led his 1,000 Fengzi Brigade troops and a thousand salt workers in the salt field to kill them.
The frightened rout who had just crossed the letter was immediately killed, and a falling flower flowed; Ge Qian's heart turned over here, he originally wanted to give someone a half-crossing attack, but he didn't expect to be hit by a half-crossing.
Knowing that this road was impassable, Ge Qian was a little glad that he didn't run over, and he turned his horse's head and was about to run back; Suddenly, I saw a tall guy covered in blood rushing out of the crowd.
"Geqian! Where to go! Cheng Yanjin broke through many obstacles, and finally fought his way out of the crowd, and saw Ge Qian as if he was about to run away at a glance, and stopped him with a loud roar.
It's too late to say anything now, and there's only one way left to fight hard; Ge Qian gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Cheng Biting Jin with a big sword. Lao Cheng was begging for it, so he urged the horse to win.
"Dang!" With a sound, Ge Qian could not stop Lao Cheng's huge strength, and the big knife in his hand flew into the sky in response. "I'm dying!" Ge Qian closed his eyes, and then with a cold light, a human head flew into the sky.
Cheng Yanjin stuck Ge Qian's head with the tip of a big axe, and shouted loudly while urging the horse to gallop on the battlefield: "Ge Qian is dead!" Descend and don't kill! ”
"Ge Qian is dead! Descend and don't kill! The sound resounded throughout the battlefield at once, and the desperate rebels saw it, laid down their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Cheng Yanjin let out a sigh of relief and arranged for his subordinates to clean up the battlefield; And his eyes have been fixed on Donglai in the distance.
In March of this year, Yang Guang drove to Zhuozhou to prepare for the third expedition to Goguryeo, but after the army was assembled, there were thousands of deserters every day.
And because of the chaos in the world, the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied, so they were trapped here for more than 3 months, and it was not until July that they began to slowly march towards Liaodong.
At the same time, the Lai Hu'er in Donglai has completed the army, and the drumming gathering will prepare to set sail; However, after the point, the three armies were exhausted, but Zhou Fashang, the head of the navy, was never seen.
Laihu'er had a premonition in his heart, and he sat quietly in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for a miracle to come. Knowing that it was gradually noon, a guard came in to report that Zhou Shaoji, the deputy head of the navy, was wearing heavy filial piety and came to report the funeral.
Laihu'er seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and squatted on the chair with a plop, crying loudly regardless of the majesty of the three armies, and all the generals around him wept.
Not long after Zhou Shaoji entered the big tent of the Chinese army with great filial piety, he cried bitterly on the ground: "Chief Administrator Qiqi, my father relapsed from his old illness this morning and unfortunately passed away; The last general is here to report the funeral! ”
"Hurt me! The sky is unkind, why take me Zhou Fashang! I lost my virtue, like a broken sibling! What a deal! Laihu'er slapped the table and cried bitterly, and the three armies wept for it. Laihu'er ordered the three armies to wear vegetarian clothes and hang filial piety for Zhou Fashang.
Laihu'er helped Zhou Shaoji up and said, "Virtuous nephew, stop the sorrow, what did your father explain when he left?" ”
Zhou Shaoji cried: "My father vomited blood several times yesterday, and he already had a premonition that his limit was approaching; He called our brother to him, and said that he had gone on a great journey; His younger brother helped his coffin to return to his hometown for funeral; Let me be in charge of the navy and serve the country with the chief manager.
My father has always been obsessed with serving the country, and before he died this morning, he exclaimed: "I will be in the sea again, but I will not wade into the sea, and I will die if the time is not with me." My ambition has not been realized, this is my life, what should I do! After that, he passed away! ”
Everyone was embarrassed when they heard this, and they came to Hu'er to arrange a funeral for Zhou Fashang, and at the same time sent a messenger to report to Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also very sad when he heard the news, and issued an order to posthumously present Zhou Fashang Wuwei General and Duke of Qian Guo, with the nickname of Xuan. Then he ordered Laihu'er to continue to raise troops.
After two major wars, the Sui Dynasty was already riddled with holes, and Goguryeo was difficult to support; I heard that Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army has arrived in Liaodong, and the navy army that came to Hu'er has also gone to sea to approach Pyongyang. The king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, was shocked when he heard the news, and once again summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
Because Yizhi Wende was seriously injured and passed away, Gao Yuan abolished the official position of Mo Lizhi as he wished; reinstatement of the post of Prime Minister and Grand Minister of Rwan; Yuan Taizuo was worshiped by Chongxin and held two positions, and concentrated the military and political power of Goguryeo.
Hearing that the Sui Dynasty sent a large army to conquer again, the faces of the ministers of Goguryeo were like earth, and now Goguryeo has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and even these officials are barely living, and they don't know the taste of meat for several months; Not to mention ordinary people; Goguryeo is now in turmoil, not to mention a million army, even a hundred thousand army can be destroyed.
Seeing that the ministers had no choice, Gao Yuan had no choice but to focus on Yuan Taizuo's body again for help. Yuan Taizuo frowned, took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, and everyone doesn't have to worry; Our Goguryeo is already lacking in national strength, so why is it not the case with the Sui Dynasty?
This time, if the Sui lord only sent one general to command 100,000 troops, no! Even 50,000 of us are not immune! But he conscripted millions of soldiers again, not to fight, but to save his face!
Your Majesty, all we have to do is present a letter of surrender and give him a promise of surrender; let the Sui lord save face; He will definitely withdraw his troops again! I heard that the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the warlords were divided; This time we went back, and we regretted it again; He will no longer have the strength to launch the fourth crusade!
On the contrary, we can take advantage of the Central Plains, everyone is fighting for the throne during this period of time, and we are working hard to develop, and there is no day when we counterattack the Central Plains! ”
Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "The prime minister's words are very good!" But can the Sui Dynasty believe it just by lowering the book and the table? ”
Yuan Taizuo smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, but if you add a human head, presumably Lord Sui will believe it!" ”
"Whose head?" Gao Yuan asked.
"The Sui Dynasty fled with Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and the former soldier Hu Sizheng was the servant of the military department! We can send Hu Sizheng to Lord Sui and show sincerity! ”
Gao Yuan hesitated slightly, but for the sake of his own country, he still nodded and said, "Okay!" At this time, let the prime minister have full authority to deal with it! ”
Yang Guang received Goguryeo's descending letter and order, and Longyan was happy, and looked at the slumped Di Hu Sizheng like mud. Yang Guang ordered him to be put in a wooden cage in a prisoner's car, and after returning to Luoyang, he would have to be cut with a thousand knives; Then the army played a triumphant song and returned home.
Laihu'er had already reached the city of Pyongyang, and he was able to break through Pyongyang and capture Gao Yuan alive, but he received an order to retreat and asked him to lead the army to Luoyang to join the army.
Laihu'er summoned the generals and said: "The army has gone out three times, but failed to pacify Goguryeo, and this time I will return to the army, and I will never come back in the future." Now Goguryeo is exhausted, and with so many of our troops, we will be able to defeat it in a few days. I intend to directly encircle Pyongyang, capture Gao Yuan, and then return triumphantly. So he asked the emperor to go on an expedition, but refused to return with the edict.
Long Shi Cui Junsu strongly admonished; Lai Hu'er said angrily: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." I'd rather capture Gao Yuan and return and be punished than give up this chance to succeed. ”
Cui Junsu said to the generals again: "If we disobey the edict with the marshal, we will definitely be played by the emperor." Everyone is in China, and I am afraid that it will be affected! The generals were very frightened, and they all persuaded them to come and protect the children. Laihu'er had no choice but to be a teacher.
On the ship returning to the division, Zhou Shaoji, the head of the navy, and Lai Cheng sat in the cabin and drank alcohol, and Lai Cheng sighed and said: "Shaoji, you have been depressed these days, why did you remember to invite me to drink today?" ”
Zhou Shaoji glanced out and said, "Come on, this time Your Majesty will transfer your uncle back to Luoyang, what do you think?" Lai Cheng snorted angrily and said, "What else can you see?" Rabbit dead dog cooking! He thought that the war in Goguryeo would be over and he would not need us, and he wanted to take over the military power of our masters! ”
Zhou Shaoji shook his head and said, "Yes! I guess if it weren't for my father's death, I wouldn't have escaped the consequences! I don't know what my uncle is going to do? ”
Lai Cheng shook his head and said, "What else can I do?" My father was loyal and was ready to lead his troops to Luoyang. Of our twelve brothers, only the youngest Lai Ji and Lai Heng were left in Dengzhou, and the other brothers had to go to Luoyang. This is estimated to be the appointment of an idle post, and there will be no chance to go to war again. ”
Zhou Shaoji smiled slightly and said: "Laiji and Laiheng are still young, and there is such chaos in Shandong; Your brother should leave one to take care of the younger brother. ”
Lai was slightly stunned, and said thoughtfully: "Shaoji, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhou Shaoji said with a smile: "I'm just sorry for my brother's ability, people say: 100 battlefields in Changbai Mountain, 155 spears." is not afraid of tens of millions of officials and soldiers, but only afraid of Rong Gong Liulang! It's a pity that Brother Lai was buried like this! ”
"I want to stay, but I'm afraid that the court won't allow me?" There is no money and no food; What should I do? ”
Zhou Shaoji laughed and said, "Brother don't worry, how about leaving this matter to me?" ”
Lai Hehe smiled and said, "Your wine is really not so delicious!" I can give it a try, though. And if the one behind you is not as good as Lai's eyes, don't blame me for ignoring my brother's righteousness! ”
Zhou Shaoji smiled and nodded, and raised the wine glass in his hand.
