Songtsen Gampo saw the chaos in the rear of the Xiangxiong Kingdom and knew that the "Qinling" had succeeded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This Qinling is the eldest son of Zhuge Liang Lu Dongzan of Tubo, this person is the same as his father, he is an extremely outstanding talent, and he is the rising star of Tubo, but when it comes to military talent, Songtsan Gampo is a little ashamed. Of course, those who are familiar with history should know such a figure as Qinling.
He is the god of war in Tibet, and the invincible Xue Rengui was defeated in his hands in Dafeichuan. During his peak period, he first destroyed Xue Rengui's 100,000 Tang army, and then completely annihilated Li Jingxuan and Liu Xianli's 180,000 Tang army, which was deeply feared by the Tang Dynasty at that time. Because of his existence, Tubo was able to suppress the Tang Dynasty at that time.
Of course, the current Qinling is still very young, only twenty-five years old, but at this moment, he has begun to show the style of a famous general, the weapon of a general.
In this showdown with Zhangxiong, Qin Ling made suggestions before the war.
Before the decisive battle, he led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to attack and harass the garrison of Zhangxiong State 20 times. He sent more than 1,000 men, but when he withdrew, there were only 900, and the remaining 100 were hidden in the forest. In this way, the gathering of small into a large number of people, in the rear of the Xiangxiong country gradually condensed into a force of more than 2,000 strange soldiers.
Xiangxiong was not aware of this, and in the end, this strange soldier led by Qin Ling kicked off the military camp of Zhangxiong when Xiangxiong and Tubo fought to the death, and launched a front and back attack with the Tubo army in front.
In this battle, the Xiangxiong Kingdom was defeated, and almost all of the 50,000 troops were annihilated. The supreme military commander of the Xiangxiong Kingdom died in battle, and the door to the Zhangxiong Kingdom has been opened.
The news of the defeat at the front soon reached the country of Zhangxiong.
The whole country of Xiangxiong was shaken, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and they were panicked.
In the palace of the king of Zhangxiong, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were worried about this matter, and the king of Zhangxiong held his head with one hand, and the sharp pain stimulated his nerves.
He is seventy-six years old this year, sick and sick, and has no energy to deal with state affairs, insisting on this moment, just because the successor is weak, and no one in the future generations will be able to inherit his position. The huge country can only rely on him to support it.
The king of Zhangxiong found out that at this moment, he couldn't find a working general, a hero who could save Zhangxiong and the fire and water......
Mo Ran thought to himself: "Is the Zhangxiong Kingdom, which has existed for hundreds of years, about to collapse?" ”
At this time, resolute and steady footsteps sounded, and a tall figure appeared in front of the door. The sun shone on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of golden armor.
The chaotic voices in the palace stopped instantly, and the person who came was a woman. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful countenance, wearing fiery red leather armor and a long matching sword hanging from her waist, as if she had just returned from the battlefield as a general. The beautiful legs covered by the armor are slender and toned, and the arms are obviously full of strength, and the long palms are pressed against the saber at the waist, and the hidden power is revealed from her, not angry but mighty.
She was as arrogant as a peacock, ignoring the civil and military affairs in the court, and said loudly: "Father, since no one dares to fight, let your daughter go......"
**********
Goguryeo.
At the foot of Changbai Mountain in Goguryeo, there is a peculiar ethnic group, all of them surnamed Xuanyuan, they love each other, and they are a family, forming a large village called "Xuanyuan Village".
The village chief of Xuanyuan Village is an old man over sixty years old, named Xuanyuan Ke.
The name of Xuanyuan Ke, looking at the whole Goguryeo is famous, he is called the king of Changbai Mountain Ginseng by the Goguryeo people, and is the largest ginseng vendor in Goguryeo, black and white are eaten all. Relying on the abundant materials on Changbai Mountain, there is a faint posture of the richest man in Goguryeo.
On this day, Xuanyuan Ke recruited his grandson Xuanyuan Tian.
Xuanyuan Tian is twenty-five years old this year, wearing a fur coat, burly and strong, walking like flying, and heroic.
"Grandpa......"
Xuanyuan Tian came to Xuanyuan Ke's face, and a smile appeared on his heroic face. Surprisingly, his "grandpa" was called in the purest Chinese.
Xuanyuan Ke looked at the face that was exactly like his son, his eyes showed sadness, and it passed in an instant, and his expression was extremely serious at the moment when Xuanyuan Tian came.
Xuanyuan Tian lost his father since he was a child, and when he was young and old, he saw his grandfather showing a rare expression, and he also restrained his smile.
Xuanyuan Ke said in a deep voice: "Tian'er, do you remember where you are from......
Xuanyuan Tian said without hesitation: "Grandpa and father's teachings, Tian'er will never dare to forget, my Xuanyuan Village is from the Central Plains, and we are Chinese...... In fact, it was because the Sui Emperor was defeated in Goguryeo, and the million-strong army was almost wiped out. Grandpa led the remnants of the soldiers and horses Qiao to wear the people of Goguryeo before escaping this festival. Back then, my grandfather secretly gathered the Sui soldiers who were scattered all over the country in order to avenge the tragic death of the Chinese soldiers in Goguryeo...... It's a pity that it backfired. ”
Remembering the past, Xuanyuan thought it was an old tear.
His real surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Ke. When Yang Guang first conquered Goguryeo, he served as a small lieutenant in the army, and he was completely discredited. But growing up with the Northland, he is enthusiastic and brave, full of pride and ambition, and wants to emulate the heroes of the Northland in history, protect the country and the country, and make a career with his own ability.
At that time, the Sui Dynasty's 1,133,000 army swept to Goguryeo. However, the Jianghuai Naval Division, led by Laihu'er, was attacked by ambushes on the outskirts of Pyongyang and retreated. The 300,000 Sui troops on land were also attacked under the city of Pyongyang, and the whole army was defeated, and only 2,700 of the 300,000 soldiers and horses returned to Liaodong.
Wang Ke fell into it, was hunted down, and it was difficult to return to the country.
Wang Ke led the remnants of the soldiers and horses, hibernated in Goguryeo, took advantage of the characteristics of Goguryeo's vast and sparsely populated land, gained a foothold in an inaccessible place, and incorporated those defeated Sui soldiers in various places. According to Wang Ke's thoughts at the time, he expected that Yang Guang would not be willing to fail and would definitely make a comeback.
They lurked in Goguryeo, firstly, to understand the intelligence, and secondly, at a critical time, they were able to form a decisive force to take Goguryeo and avenge the dead comrades.
His idea is good, but unfortunately, it is useless. As he imagined, Yang Guang was not willing to fail and made a comeback. However, in the second expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang only hit Liaodong, and did not enter the real territory of Goguryeo at all. When the two sides were at a stalemate, Yang Xuangan took the opportunity to rebel, forcing Yang Guang to withdraw his troops and return to the division. The third expedition to Goguryeo, Laihu'er led the naval army to Pyongyang, and before the battle began, the king surrendered.
Wang Ke's calculation failed again and lost its usefulness.
This time it was really a tragedy.
Wang Ke was upright and loyal, otherwise he would not still think about revenge and destroy Goguryeo after the defeat.
At this time, he had gathered more than a thousand people, and now he saw that his goal could not be achieved, but he was burdened with a major burden. Wang Ke's mood at that time can be imagined. He felt that if he had gathered people, he would be responsible for these more than 1,000 people.
Wang Ke initially intended to return to the Sui Dynasty, but eventually gave up.
They are too conspicuous, and once they walk in groups, they will inevitably be destroyed. As a last resort, Wang Ke led more than 1,000 people to open up the wasteland at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and after a long period of development, relying on the rich materials on Changbai Mountain, the group has integrated into Goguryeo.
Despite this, Wang Ke never forgot his homeland and changed his surname to Xuanyuan, the purpose of which was to warn himself that he was a descendant of Yan and Huang.
The rest of the people are also inseparable from their homeland and have followed suit.
Xuanyuan Village is also named after this.
Xuanyuan Ke belongs to the hot-blooded men in the north, and he takes hatred very seriously, Xiao En does not forget, there is revenge, and he dreams back at midnight, often dreaming of the tragic scene of corpses all over the city of Pyongyang, even if he has gained a foothold in Goguryeo, he does not forget this hatred, and is determined to take revenge and disturb Goguryeo.
However, his ability is limited, and he has always been a small fight, and there is no real action, and it is only recently that there has been substantial progress.
Faced with Xuanyuan Tian's answer, Xuanyuan Ke was very satisfied, and said: "The most important thing to be a man is not to forget our roots, our roots are in the Central Plains, even if we are far away, we must remember this by rote." He paused for a moment before he got down to business: "Yesterday I went into the city to procure and met the ...... of King Rongliu."
Xuanyuan Tian's eyes flashed with a different color, he had a certain understanding of Goguryeo's national conditions.
King Yeolyu was the king of Goguryeo, but he was a bit of a nominal king, and all the military power was in the hands of Goguryeo Moli Zhiyuan Gai Suwen. If King Rongliu is a King of the Adou type, then the two will get along well. It's a pity that King Rongliu also has his own ambitions and wants to compete with Yuangai Suwen.
The two have recently become more and more intense, and they have reached a situation where water and fire are incompatible.
Although King Rongliu is the lord of a country, there are few who are optimistic about him. In this era, fists are the last word, and Yuangai Suwen, who sits on the vast majority of Goguryeo's military power, occupies an absolute advantage.
Xuanyuan Tian's heart moved, and he asked, "King Rongliu wants to run?" ”
Xuanyuan Ke's eyes revealed a look of relief, and said: "You guessed right, King Rongliu gathered a group of ministers a few days ago and wanted to assassinate Yuan Gai Suwen, but the news leaked, and Yuan Gai Suwen escaped. After this incident, Yuan Gai Su Wen had already torn his face with King Rongliu and besieged the palace. Seeing that the situation was not good, King Yeongliu had escaped through the secret passage and was now hiding in the city of Pyongyang. He hoped to use our caravan to go to Liaodong and join his uncle. intends to rely on Liaodong soldiers and horses to compete with Yuangai Suwen. He asked, and I agreed...... Do you know why? ”
Xuanyuan Tian replied without hesitation: "Grandpa wants to create an internal struggle between King Rongliu and Yuangai Suwen, so that the Central Plains can take advantage of the situation to destroy Goguryeo." ”
Xuanyuan Ke danced the old fist and said excitedly: "You are right, I have been paying attention to the movements of the Central Plains all these years, and I have found that the current Central Plains is not what it used to be. He was greater and more powerful than the Sui Dynasty. The king is far from being comparable to the Sui Emperor back then. As long as Goguryeo was in civil strife, with the power of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Xue Yantuo in half a year, it would be easy to break Goguryeo. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes filled with tears, and with his current wealth and status, it was easy to return to his homeland. But he was not willing to go back like this, he wanted to see the demise of Goguryeo with his own eyes, and then leave in the scenery.
This day seems to be coming.
"Tomorrow, I will secretly send King Rongliu to Liaodong, and you will immediately go to the Central Plains, ask to see the Tang Emperor, show everything, ask him to be ready, and send troops to Goguryeo......"
