With the help of Gao Jianwu, a "traitor", the generals of the Tang Army easily took over the defense of the major fortresses and important places in Northern Goguryeo with the "Holy Decree" in hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs for the chief generals and city lords of Goguryeo, they are also very happy, after all, they have been promoted, they have changed from magistrates, they have become Beijing officials, they have become Beijing officials, and they face their kings every day, which also means that there will be more opportunities for promotion, and in this life, it is nothing more than fame and power, although some people are confused, but they have been promoted, there is no reason not to be happy, there is no reason not to go to office, right?

So, after these officials were handed over, they happily and happily went to the domestic city to take office, but they had heard the truth that "there is no free lunch in the world" and "blessings and misfortunes depend on each other", and they did not realize that this would be the end of their lives or careers.

Who would have thought that his own monarch would collude with the enemy to trap them, civil and military officials who were loyal to the royal family?

Not all the generals who went to take over the defense went smoothly, for example, Xue Rengui who went to Xuanxuan was in trouble. Because the county guard of Xuanyu County has a relatively intelligent person.

This person's name is Gao Yanju, and he is a rare talent among the royal family and nobles of Goguryeo. He was deeply used by the Gao Jianwu brothers, and guarded Xuanyu County all the year round, and he worked diligently during his tenure to create a rich county for the Gao Dynasty. The reason why Yizhi Wende didn't dare to completely tear apart everything with Gao Jianwu before his death was that he was worried about this person. Gao Yanshou is an honest official, and has the ability to command the army, he is very prestigious in Northern Goguryeo, he has 30,000 elite soldiers, and it is not too much to say that it is the last Dinghai Divine Needle of the Gao Dynasty.

Xue Rengui had already heard of Gao Yanshou's name, so he personally took a thousand tiger army and five hundred loyal and righteous troops to sneak into the dense forest hundreds of miles away from Xuanyu City in a way that was broken into pieces, and then sent a loyal army general named Chen Rui to deceive the city. Chen Rui is shrewd and capable, he is the most famous figure in the Loyal and Righteous Army, he has lived in Goguryeo for many years, and knows the customs and language of Goguryeo well, and when he met with Gao Yan, he did not show any flaws, but the bad thing is that Gao Yanshou is not only Gao Jianwu's confidant, but also Gao Jianwu's hair and confidant. He knew very well about the important ministers under Gao Jianwu, and Chen Rui was obviously a figure he had never heard of, at first he thought that Chen Rui was from a civilian background, and when he saw a commoner-born figure come to take over Xuanyu County, which he had devoted more than ten or twenty years of hard work, he was so angry and furious.

The situation of the gate lords in Goguryeo was more serious than that of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, and the major families controlled most of the military power, and they acted like local princes in their respective fiefdoms, and they were obedient to the political governance of the central government. Because of this, Gao Jianwu had the idea of "cutting the domain", and he also fought back for the important ministers of the gate valve, and lost his life first.

The original aristocracy of Goguryeo was divided into five divisions, including the Juan Nu Division, the Absolute Slave Division, the Shun Nu Division, the Guannu Division, and the Guilou Division, which were also referred to as the five major families of the Interior, East, South, North, and West according to the geographical distribution. The five largest tribes were not equal, but were divided into three ranks: the first was the Guilou tribe, where the royal family was located, the second was the Juan Nu and the Absolute Slave tribe, and the third was the Shun Nu and Bun tribes.

The Yuan family belongs to the third class of the Shunnu Department, and the status has always been only the end of the family, but because the Yuan family has emerged a stunning and brilliant Yuan Ziyou, a calm and mountain-like Yuan Binzhi, this brother took the opportunity of Yang Guangdong's expedition to control the real power of Goguryeo and encroached on the power of the Goguryeo royal family Guilou Tribe, making the Guilou Department only have political power and no military power, and also laid the cause and effect for the demise of the Guilou Tribe.

Now Goguryeo called the internal Guilou tribe almost dissipated, leaving only the four major departments of southeast, northwest, Juannu, Juannu, Shunnu, and Guannu. The northern absolutes are high longevity, and the so-called scarlet is the head of the family, which is equivalent to the head of the family and the pillar of the family. Gao Yanshou has a transcendent status in the Gao royal family, and his mattress is equivalent to the Zongzheng of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Yanshou, who was born in a family, has a natural sense of superiority over the generals born from the peasant people, and has an instinctive rejection, so he was ordered to hand over the Xuanyu County he built himself to a common people, which he regarded as a great shame.

Through the common people, the unknown Chen Rui, and this abrupt order, the angry Gao Yanshou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of the private letter sent by Gao Jianwu not long ago, he suddenly realized that this was a trap. It's just because Gao Jianwu repeatedly instructed him in private messages to recruit troops and horses in Xuanfu City and strengthen his strength, don't let Yizhi Wende seize any tricks, and don't appoint some talents from the Hanmen, because they are likely to be characters cultivated by Yizhi Wende, who is also from the Hanmen. And told him: The stronger Xuanxuan is, the safer the domestic city, and the more dare Yizhi Wende to make a move. Gao Yanshou only has Xuan Xuan firmly in his hands, and the safer he is in the inner city.

Gao Yanshou was calm, so he asked Chen Rui about some domestic cities and Gao Jianwu's situation, Chen Rui was not Gao Jianwu's courtier after all, how could he know everything? In this way, Gao Yanshou knew that this Qincha was an impostor, but he had a lot of fancy intestines, so he didn't point out anything at that time, just asked Chen Rui to give him and his colleagues time. Chen Rui didn't dare to push too hard, so he could only agree to give him two days.

Gao Yanshou thought that Chen Rui was a person from Yizhi Wende, thought that Yizhi Wende had controlled Gao Jianwu, thinking about his grievances with Yizhi Wende, and after Gao Yanshou and Chen Rui were vigilant, he spread secret agents to inquire around. Therefore, he did not stop doing anything, and secretly dispatched troops, intending to gather and annihilate the enemies outside the city.

Of course, the dispatch of troops to this kind of big action naturally could not hide the spies of the Tiger Ben Army who had infiltrated Xuanyu City one step earlier, and immediately passed the news to Xue Rengui outside the city. When Xue Rengui heard the report, he realized that there was something wrong with Chen Rui, and after a few thoughts, he planned to swallow Gao Yanshou.

Gao Yanshou is a talented person, but all talented people are very conceited, when he heard that the other party had less than 2,000 people, and did not realize the news that he was about to send troops, he ordered 4,000 soldiers to go out of the city.

The biggest feature of the peninsula is that it is mountainous and has a harsh environment and climate. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are cold and dry, and now it is the end of summer and early autumn, and the climate is extremely unstable, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, and it is hot and humid during the day and cold at night.

During Gao Yanshou's march, the sky was not beautiful. On the way to the dense forest, it rained, and they were drenched in soup, and they suffered a lot of cold.

Gao Yanshou has not been pro-conscripted for many years, this pampered and superior is used to it, and he is particularly unsuitable for this kind of hard life, he has lived here for many years, and he knows that the climate of these days is very abnormal, when he knows that the people and horses of "Yizhi Wende" are still in place, in order not to suffer this kind of sin. Twice as strong as the enemy, he rested and slew at the enemy. For this kind of war with the right time, place, and people in his own hands, he never thought that he would lose.

He had no idea that the other party not only knew about his actions, but also made arrangements for his arrogant temperament.

……

In terms of choosing an ambush circle, Tang Jun also obtained it after careful consideration. Goguryeo has many mountains, and there are many steep mountains, on the road of Goguryeo must pass, there is a place called Gantingling, the terrain is extremely dangerous, if you ambush here, the Goguryeo people will suffer the doom of total annihilation, therefore, many people recommend to ambush in this place.

Xue Rengui, who has a famous and handsome mind, naturally will not be so superficial, after the generals expressed their opinions, he said in a deep voice: "Who is Gao Yanshou? Maybe he is conceited and arrogant, but he is by no means a stupid person, he will not send someone to find out clearly and thoroughly in a place like Gantingling, if our army sets up an ambush in Gantingling, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other party, so that the success will fall short. Therefore, this ambush place should be in Baizhangping between Ganting Ridge and us. ”

"General Xue, although Baizhangping is a highland, it is much worse than Gantingling. This is not the best place to set up an ambush. "Some people jumped out against it.

Xue Rengui laughed, and he said, "None of you thought that we would set up an ambush here, do you think that Gao Yanshou, who had just passed through Ganting Ridge and had just breathed a sigh of relief, would think of us setting up an ambush here?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and the eyes of some people with flexible brains suddenly lit up.

Xue Rengui continued: "Although the terrain of Baizhangping is open, it can only support more than 4,000 people to fight, if it is deployed in some defenses, it also means that when fighting, the strength of the enemy and us is equal, and our army is waiting for work, if it fails, it is really shameless to go back to face the general." ”

After finalizing the ambush point, Xue Rengui made some arrangements.

He was ambitious, and what he wanted was not just a beautiful ambush, but a beautiful war of annihilation. When all the Goguryeo troops entered the ambush circle, when the Tiger Ben army launched an attack, the loyal army was responsible for cutting off the opponent's escape back with rolling wood and stones.

Then, with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, he assisted the Tiger Ben army to annihilate the rear army.

After agreeing on the battle, 1,500 men immediately went into action. Under the vigorous search of the Tiger Army, a professional army with counter-reconnaissance capabilities, they completely cleared all the secret posts arranged around Goguryeo, and as for whether there were innocent mountain people, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Immediately afterwards, they rushed to Baizhangping overnight.

Chop down trees, carry! Chop down trees, carry! ......

In the cold night when Gao Yanshou was hiding from the rain, Tang Jun was doing repetitive and boring things almost all night, and after being busy for most of the night, everyone finally got the order to rest for three hours.

"Gao Yanshou, I'm waiting for you." After inspecting the materials and deployments built overnight, Xue Rengui looked to the northeast, his eyes were full of strong fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

Since Su Dingfang and Zhang Shigui became independent and became independent, they took charge of the army. Xue Rengui, who instilled in Qin Feng the idea that "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", also urgently needs his military exploits to prove his ability and value.

Gao Yanshou will be a point on his success, an insignificant stepping stone.

In this regard, Xue Rengui is convinced!
