As Li Shimin calculated, when he learned that the Tang Dynasty supported King Rongliu, Yuan Dazuo panicked. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he has always not put King Rongliu in his eyes at all, and plans to clean up King Rongliu's forces first, and then send troops to Liaodong to unify Goguryeo. But King Rongliu has a relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and the meaning is very different.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the orthodox status of King Rongliu, was enough to overthrow him in one fell swoop.

Surrender, this is impossible.

King Rongliu wanted his life, and as soon as he surrendered, there was nothing left.

Yuan Dazuo saw that Li Shimin was only verbally supporting King Rongliu for the time being, and had no intention of sending troops. Immediately sent henchmen into the Tang Dynasty to express their surrender, and at the same time sent troops to Liaodong, intending to destroy the King of Rongliu after the Tang Dynasty did not act, so as to prevent the King of Rongliu from taking advantage of the power of the Tang Dynasty to sit big and turn defeat into victory.

King Rongliu also panicked when he learned that Yuan Dazuo had sent troops, and in terms of strength, half of Yuan Dazuo's strength was less, so he had to turn to the Tang Dynasty that supported him......

Yuan Dazuo's overture, Rongliu Wang's help!

Li Shimin gave an ambiguous answer, he left and right, on the one hand, he hinted that Yuan Dazuo would not send troops, and on the other hand, he was reassuring King Rongliu and asked them to fight to the death.

Of course, he didn't really care, before the Tang Dynasty sent troops, keeping King Rongliu and preventing King Rongliu from being wiped out by Yuan Dazuo was also the key to driving the wolf.

Although King Rongliu's strength is far inferior to the Yuan clan, he still has a trump card that has not been played. This trump card is the Goguryeo military god Ulji Moondeok, who has less influence in the army.

Eulchi Wende!

In the minds of the Goguryeo people, he is like a savior, and he is almost a god.

It was also because of him that Goguryeo was spared the catastrophe of annihilation.

That year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dispatched a million heroes to conquer Goguryeo, spanning more than 1,000 miles before and after. In the face of the Sui Dynasty's massive attack, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan gathered all the troops of the whole country to Liaodong, determined to fight the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui army attacked Liaodong, and Yang Guang decided to divide his troops into three ways: he had many generals and generals, and he bullied the Goguryeo soldiers and the few major generals. Leave a main force of 670,000 to stay in Liaodong and besiege Liaodong City; The generals Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang led the Jianghuai naval army to attack Pyongyang by sea; The general Yu Wenshu led an army of 300,000 troops to cross the cities of Liaodong and advance towards the Yalu River, and attacked Pyongyang with the naval army from the north and south.

This time Goguryeo was stunned and panicked.

The main elite of Goguryeo are all gathered in Liaodong, where does Pyongyang still have the strength to resist the Sui Dynasty's army of nearly 400,000 on land and water?

At this time, Yizhi Wende was born, saw through the weakness of the Sui army's poor logistics, and gave the Sui Dynasty seven great victories with the tactics of luring the enemy into depth, lengthening the Sui army's battle line. Then he surrendered and forced the Sui army to retreat, and then a large flood washed away 300,000 Sui soldiers. The main force of the Goguryeo army descended from the sky and launched a fierce attack on the Sui army. The hungry Sui army was unable to fight any longer, and the armies collapsed at the slightest touch, and fled in the wilderness. Sayazi ran wildly for hundreds of miles, until the Yalu River escaped the pursuit of the Goguryeo army, and the 300,000 troops who crossed the Yalu River finally fled back to Liaodong, and the ordnance and materials were completely lost.

The defeat was too miserable and complete, and Yang Guang had to abandon Liaodong City and ordered the troops to retreat.

The Sui army was 1.1 million troops, and the troops were consumed, and Goguryeo couldn't fight it.

Yizhi Wende buried 300,000 Sui troops in one fell swoop, which was fatal to the Sui army, which had the advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the entire Goguryeo revered Eulji Wendeok, who led the battle of Sasu and turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop, as a god, so that it had the title of Goguryeo military god and Goguryeo savior.

Echiwende retired due to old age and happened to recuperate in the domestic city.

However, because Eulji Wende came from a poor family, he has been excluded by the Goguryeo family and withdrew from the Goguryeo political arena early, and the greatest credit is undoubtedly the Yuan clan. It's just that Yizhi Wende faded out for too long, and King Rongliu ignored him.

According to Gao Huizhen, the lord of the domestic city, King Rongliu, who retreated to the domestic city, ignored the fact that it was too late, and immediately rushed to the west of the city with several personal guards.

Eulji Wende's mansion is deep, and it is easy to get sleepy when he is old, so he rests early.

King Rongliu came to the door, and Yizhi Wende asked his son to wake up to understand what had happened.

Ezhi Wende is nearly seventy years old, with medium stature, gray hair, and a face full of scars of time, but he is full of energy, his waist is straight, and his steps are steady. Even if he was woken up in a dream, he was not confused at all, and he did not lose to young people in terms of spirit.

In fact, it is too early to say that he is old and retired in his mental state.

It's just that for the peace of Goguryeo, I had to retreat.

Eulji Wende was born poor, but he was the eldest brother of the official residence, that is, the deputy prime minister, and he was above 10,000 people under the two of them in Goguryeo, which was quite good. But in addition to the king of Goryeo, there was also a big pair of Lu who was in charge of state affairs and controlled the whole army. The person who served as the great pair of Lu was Yuan Ziyou, the patriarch of the hereditary Yuan family of Goguryeo.

During his reign, he assisted the Goguryeo royal family, gathered people's hearts, developed production, and accumulated national strength.

Yang Guangchu conquered Goguryeo, and the first to stand up was Yuan Ziyou, the great opponent Lu who was in charge of the military power. He personally led the troops to confront Yang Guang on the front line of Liaodong, pinned down Yang Guang's army of 6 or 700,000, and ensured that the front line of Liaodong was not lost. When it comes to the role, Yuanziyou is not inferior to Yizhi Wende at all. However, Eulji Wendeok became a god in a war and became the savior of Goguryeo, and his prestige was far above that of Yuanziyou, which seriously threatened the status of the first family of Goguryeo, the Yuan clan. caused Yuanziyou's dissatisfaction.

At that time, Yizhi Wende couldn't compete with Yuanziyou, so he had to choose to retreat and retire in advance.

After the death of Yuan Ziyou, his son Yuan Dazuo not only succeeded to the position of the head of the Yuan family, but also inherited all the positions of Yuan Ziyou in Goguryeo.

Yizhi Wende is indeed a character, he is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, especially Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms", in this book, his most admired character is Sima Yi who has the last laugh. And the role he plays at the moment is the big man in the Three Kingdoms - Sima Yi, who is waiting for a good opportunity.

He knew what the outcome would be if the lord was weak and the minister was strong, and with the ambition of the Yuan clan, sooner or later he would attack the royal family, and that time was the moment when he would create glory again.

At his most glorious time, Eulji Wende was dim and retreated, and the people of Goguryeo thought that he was a high-spirited and bright festival and disdained secular disputes. This is more admiration for him, but in fact he is not willing to fail, Shen Jian is nothing more than waiting for the opportunity to come back, although he is far away from the court, but his henchmen and generals have not been interrupted with him, and his control over the henchmen's army has not weakened in the slightest.

is also because he has an inextricable relationship with the army, so he knows the situation in Goguryeo well.

I just listened to King Rongliu's explanation of the situation to have a certain understanding of the current situation.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Eulzhi Wende's eyes flashed with excitement, his only jealous opponent Yuan Ziyou was dead, King Rongliu came to visit in person, he knew that this was the time for the comeback he had been waiting for, he was afraid that King Rongliu would see his abnormality, so he simply closed his eyes, pretending to be pensive, and after a while, when his mind calmed down, he pretended to regret and said: "For the sake of the peace of Goguryeo, in order to avoid the destruction of life, the minister chose to retreat back then." I thought that the Yuan clan would wholeheartedly assist His Majesty to unify the world, but I never thought that Yuan Ziyou's son Yuan Dazuo had bad intentions, back then, the minister saw that Yuan Ziyou was dedicated to digging talents for the country, and he was very impressed in his heart, but he never thought that all this was for today, I knew that this was the case, and the minister would have to fight with the Yuan family even if he died. Eulzhi Wende's expression was indignant, and the appearance of a loyal minister and righteous man made King Rongliu very happy, and he hurriedly said: "General, the lonely king is here, it is to invite you out of the mountain, please lead the soldiers of Goguryeo to quell the rebellion." ”

Yizhi Wende said: "The minister is old, and his mental and physical strength are no longer what they used to be, so I am afraid that he will have the trust of His Majesty." ”

King Rongliu was anxious, and he said almost pleadingly: "The spirit of the old general is no less than that of a young man, why do you say that he is old? Does the old general want to see the country laid down by his ancestors turn into a sea of fire? Please also ask the old general to have mercy on millions of people in Goguryeo, the Yuan clan has always been domineering, if they are allowed to do whatever they want, this country will not be a country. ”

"That's it! In this case, the minister will put on the armor again for His Majesty and the people. Ezhi Wende thought for a while, and under the worried gaze of King Rongliu, he let out a long sigh, and finally agreed.

King Rongliu asked what was good at the moment, and Yizhi Wende said calmly: "Although we have lost the first move, we still have the advantage. This is the heart of Goguryeo, surrounded by civil and military ministers loyal to the imperial family. As long as the surrounding generals know about the situation in the city, they will inevitably lead troops to rescue. What we need to do now is not to defeat the enemy in vain, but to gather our forces in one place, with soldiers in our hands, we can quell the rebellion, and the domestic city of the Gao clan alone is not enough to exterminate the Yuan clan. ”

King Rongliu suddenly shouted: "The old general is really clever, as long as we gather the forces in our hands to control a domestic city, and wait for the army to gather in one place, the thieves will naturally not be afraid." ”

Echiwende sneered: "Exactly! I expect that the thieves of the Yuan clan will definitely take the road to take the domestic city as quickly as possible, therefore, Your Majesty, what you have to do now is to appease people's hearts, well, although the minister has not asked about the affairs of the world for many years, but there are still some effects, Your Majesty may wish to mention one or two in the text. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The old general is the military god of my Goguryeo, although he has only asked about state affairs for many years, but the old general's status in the army is unrivaled. King Rongliu paused, took a small yellow burden from the guard, and said solemnly: "Yizhi Wende takes the order." ”

"Chenyizhi Wende obeys the order!" Etozhi Wende bent down, but his heart was hot.

"From now on, worship Yizhi Wende as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, take charge of all military affairs, and give the first king the sword of the country, this sword in hand, such as a lonely person."

"Chen Yizhi Wende takes the order!" Yizhi Wende excitedly took the sword seal, especially the handsome seal, which gave him a sense of getting what he wanted, this handsome seal, once followed him for a long time, and that was his most glorious moment. Now, too, it will make him glow with glory.

Eulzhi Wende is convinced.
