Chapter 141: The other half's expedition has just begun
Goguryeo Baoshan King Gao Jin negotiated with Yu Wenshu on behalf of Gao Yuan, originally Yu Wenshu's attitude was still very tough, and it had to be negotiated by Goguryeo King Gao Yuan in person, but Liu Shilong, the superintendent of the army, stood up at this time and seriously accused Yu Wenshu of not having the demeanor of a great country is wrong, since the Goryeo people have shown sincerity to talk, as the marshal of the expeditionary force of the largest country in the world, he cannot lose the face of a great power, let alone the face of His Majesty of Benevolence and Righteousness.
Liu Shilong said: "In military matters, this official knows that he is a layman, so he rarely says anything, but in matters of surrender, he can no longer watch you make mistakes and let them go." The Koreans are cunning and rude, and now they are taking advantage of the fact that the army has lost their temper, and if they are not subdued as soon as possible, they are afraid that they will be delayed for a long time and will be repeated. Gao Jin is Gao Yuan's younger brother, and Gao Yuan's sending him here is enough to show his sincerity, if it drags on like this, won't it be bad for us? ”
Yu Wenshu said coldly: "The prison army also knows that our situation is very unfavorable now? When it wasn't for the benevolence of the prison army to let go of Yizhi Wende, now the army has returned and is about to pass through the Ma Zi water! ”
Liu Shilong said: "Your Majesty said that if the Goryeo people surrender, they should not be slow, this official has always been loyal to the monarch, and everything is done in accordance with His Majesty's orders." General Yuwen doesn't have to be so harsh, and when I return to Liaodong, I will naturally have an explanation in front of His Majesty. It's just that if you prevaricate and refuse to agree to Gao Jin's request for peace today, this official will immediately write a letter and send someone to hurry back thousands of miles to present it to His Majesty, accusing you of the crime of deceiving the king and misleading the country! ”
Yuwen Shu said angrily: "If the Lord of the Prison Army wants to sue, is it possible that in front of Your Majesty, I am still afraid of you?" ”
Yu Zhongwen, the general of the Right Guard, hurriedly stopped in front of Yuwenshu and said, "Obviously, it was the Goguryeo people who asked for peace, why didn't anyone on our side be happy?" This time, a large army came to the city of Pyongyang, forcing Gao Yuan to become a minister, and after he returned, the marshal and the supervising army made great contributions, and the most important thing was that His Majesty was happy......."
He glanced at Liu Shilong meaningfully, and the latter knew that Yu Zhongwen was telling him, don't make too much trouble, after all, he, the prison army, was atonement for him by the emperor.
Although he understood, Yu Zhongwen's eyes made him dislike it very much.
Obviously, he is also a guilty body!
Liu Shilong thought angrily, Yu Wenshu commanded the whole army to attack Liaodong City for several months, obviously he is also a guilty body, as a prison army, as a surrender envoy, why do I need to look at his face? If this errand is not done well, isn't it the same difficult to explain in front of Your Majesty? Look at the faces of this room full of people, as if I were the sinner.
"The matter of surrender, this official is ordered by His Majesty, so he will not give an inch!"
Liu Shilong gritted his teeth and said: "Today, if you don't accept Gao Jin's peace conditions, don't blame this official for exercising the right to supervise the army!" ”
Yuwen Shu was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Goguryeo people are fools? The conditions they put forward are also vassals? Gao Jin is afraid that he has already seen that there is a shortage of food in our army, so now he is deliberately delaying time to test our reaction! If Gao Jin only put forward the conditions, wouldn't you agree to it immediately, wouldn't the Koreans guess the truth of our army from it? In this situation, even if you have to hold on! ”
Liu Shilong snorted coldly and said: "General Yuwen, the official is not involved in military affairs, and no matter how you try to solve it, as a surrender envoy, I have to be responsible for Your Majesty!" ”
Yu Zhongwen let out a long sigh, looked at Yuwen and said, "Marshal...... In my opinion...... We really can't stand it anymore, the soldiers have started from now on, no matter whether there is a battle or not, everyone only has half a bowl of gruel to eat, and if they don't return to the division, they are afraid that the army's morale will be unstable......"
Yu Wenshu glared at him, and wanted to say that if it weren't for your incompetence, would the army be in the predicament it is today? Ulzhi Wende was released, and now the two of them are standing together and talking. Yuwen Shu was angry, he also knew that what Yu Zhongwen said was actually reasonable, he was worried that the Goguryeo people would find out the truth that the army had no food and would attract endless attacks, and Yu Zhongwen was worried that the more it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to the situation. Yuwen Shu thought about it, and had to sigh and said: "Okay, the Lord of the Prison Army will go and surrender, and the army will be able to return in the afternoon." Remember ......"
Yu Wenshu looked at Yu Zhongwen and said word by word: "Let Gao Jin go back!" ”
Yu Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, and then understood. However, Liu Shilong thought that Yu Wenshu was still sarcastic that he had let go of Yizhi Wende, so he was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left.
The next time, Liu Shilong accepted the credentials submitted by Gao Jin as a surrender envoy, and Gao Jin, on behalf of Gao Yuan, the king of Goryeo, recognized Goguryeo as a subject state of the Great Sui, and Gao Yuan was a vassal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, but there was no specific clause mentioned in the national letter, and even the number of years of tribute to be paid to the Great Sui every year was not clearly written. For this Great Sui expedition, although the grain and grass supply consumed by Goguryeo compensation was written, there is no doubt that the Sui army could not wait for Goguryeo to piece together the "compensation" now. The Sui army was now in a cruel and embarrassing situation, with no food, but they did not dare to urge the Goryeo people to pay grain and grass compensation, because that would expose the horse's feet. He didn't dare to retreat too quickly, and he had to put on a posture of retreating slowly, and only the Sui people knew the suffering.
Finally, as of today, the Sui expedition ended in a not too ugly way. In any case, it is a fact that the siege of Pyongyang forced Gao Yuan to sign an alliance under the city. Of course, this kind of end was determined in advance in Yuwenshu's thoughts with regret, and in fact, the Sui army's expedition was far from over.
After Liu Shilong and Gao Jin signed the credentials, he took Gao Jin's hand and said with a smile: "In the future, you and I will be colleagues, both of Your Majesty's courtiers, don't mention anything unhappy in the past." ”
Gao Jinpi said with a smile: "As Lord Liu said, you and I will be closer in the future." ”
He saluted Liu Shilong and said, "Since it is over, then I will rush back to Pyongyang City to give me the good news to the king, and in addition, I will also prepare to transport grain and grass supplies from the city to the camp." ”
Yu Zhongwen said: "Since King Baoshan wants to go back, then I will personally send you out of the camp." ”
Gao Jin was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "The general wants to send me personally?" ”
Yu Zhongwen smiled: "What, King Baoshan is unwilling? ”
Gao Jin hurriedly shook his head and said, "I thought the general was joking with me. ”
Yu Zhongwen was about to speak, but he heard Liu Shilong sneer: "General Yu is naturally joking with you, now that King Baoshan is here, don't rush back." As for the good news to the king of Goryeo, just send someone to it. However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty has explained that he must return to Liaodong City with the envoys of Goryeo's request for peace. Since Your Majesty has this will, King Baoshan, I think you should stay in the camp and go with me to face the saint! ”
Yu Zhongwen and Gao Jin were stunned at the same time.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean, Lord Liu?"
The two men asked almost at the same time.
Liu Shilong sneered: "What do you mean? Now that you have entered my big camp, you don't want to go out again, come here, ask the king of Baoshan to rest in the military tent, and tell the entourage of the king of Baoshan to let him go and tell the king of Goryeo, and say that the king of Baoshan will go back to Liaodong City with the army to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui! ”
"No!"
Yu Zhongwen stopped in front of Liu Shilong and said, "Prison army, don't be like this!" ”
"Why?"
Liu Shilong squinted his eyes at Yu Zhongwen, and asked with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's just that he didn't mean that Zhongwen explained and said more proudly: "Do you really not understand military affairs when you are the prisoner?" Even if the prison army doesn't understand, but if you eat a trench and grow wise, this time, you won't let the Goguryeo people leave again. Didn't Yu Wenshu want to sue me in front of His Majesty, this time I will deduct Gao Jin to see what else he has to say in front of His Majesty! ”
Liu Shilong's personal soldiers rushed in and couldn't help but bet Gao Jin down. Yu Zhongwen persuaded hard, but Liu Shilong just didn't listen. Yu Zhongwen hurriedly sent someone to ask Yu Wenshu again, and ordered Gao Jin's entourage not to be put back first. Who knew that Liu Shilong firmly thought that Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenshu were going to join forces to harm him, and ordered his own soldiers to block Zhongwen in the big tent and not let him out, but drove Gao Jin's entourage out of the camp.
When Yu Wenshu learned about it, Gao Jin's entourage had already hurriedly entered Pyongyang City, and not long after, they went out from the south gate of Pyongyang City and entered the camp of Eulji Mundeok.
"Piff!"
When Yu Wenshu knew about Liu Shilong's actions, he became furious, pointed at Liu Shilong's nose and scolded: "Pifu misleads the country!" ”
Liu Shilong said angrily: "Yuwenshu, you humiliate the official so much, do you think that the official can't see your intentions!" ”
If it weren't for the generals pulling it, Yuwenshu really wanted to cut Liu Shilong with a knife. It's just that even if you kill him, it won't help. Yu Wenshu, who was furious, was not completely confused, and immediately ordered the army to pull out! With the most complete Zuo Xiaowei as the front team, and the Zuotun Guard, who had the most abundant grain and grass, after the break, the army marched overnight without a moment's delay.
……
……
"What did you say?"
Yizhi Wende, who was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries, sat up suddenly, looked at the entourage of Baoshan King Gao Jin and asked loudly, "You say it again?" ”
The attendant said, "Great ...... General, King Baoshan was detained by the Sui people, saying that he wanted King Baoshan to return with the army and go to see the emperor of the Sui State. ”
"Haha!"
Hearing the words of the entourage, instead of worrying about Gao Jin's safety, Yizhi Wende laughed: "Hahahaha, the Sui people are finished!" ”
The attendant was puzzled: "Why did the general say this? ”
Yizhi Wende was in a very good mood, so he patiently explained to the little person in front of him: "Since the Sui army has been surrendered, they are the victorious army, do you think that if they have enough confidence to return to Liaodong City, it is still necessary for them to hold your Baoshan King as a hostage?" The Sui army is finished, and this time they are really finished! ”
The retinue was not stupid, and immediately understood what Etoji Wende meant.
Yes, isn't the Sui army powerful and invincible, why did they withdraw in a hurry and still hold King Baoshan as a hostage?
It was precisely because he was not stupid that he forcibly held back the doubts in his heart, and he didn't ask Yizhi Wende, what should the King of Baoshan do? In fact, he could guess from the ecstasy on Yizhi Wende's face that King Baoshan ...... It doesn't matter anymore.
When it was said, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, tore up the agreement signed between Gao Jin and Liu Shilong, declared that Gao Jin was treasonous, colluded with the Sui people to try to rebel, and appointed Ulzhi Wende as the generalissimo and the governor of Liaodong to fight to the death with the Sui people.
Expedition...... The other half of the road has just begun.
