Chapter 200: Goguryeo and Baekje Negotiate Peace [I]
"Five siege engines! He, Li Cunhuan, underestimated Pyongyang City too much! The city lord of Pyongyang sneered, "Order, don't waste arrows on the bed crossbow, and when the siege vehicle arrives, let people pour fire oil on it, so that Li Cunhuan can smell the smell of roast pigs." ”
"Yes!" The soldier beside him replied loudly.
"Sure enough!" Seeing that the bed crossbow on the city wall did not fight back, Li Cunhuan showed a triumphant smile on his face.
"Boom!" I saw a flash of fire in the siege vehicle, a loud bang sounded, and a black shadow flew out.
"Smack!" A voice sounded that made the guards' hearts palpitate, and in the incredible gaze of the soldiers guarding the city gate, they saw a huge recess appear in the iron jack gate.
But the loud noise is not just one, but five, and although the jack gate is heavy, it is not absolutely defensive. After five loud bangs, the jack gate collapsed to the ground with the bricks and tiles on the city wall, revealing in front of the soldiers guarding the city gate, which was already half of the city gate.
"Kill!" Zhou Dewei took the lead and galloped away, with three thousand iron horsemen behind him.
"Damn it! Fast! Thousands blocked the city gates! What are you doing with the bed crossbow! Ordered a counterattack, and there is also gold juice! Be ready! The lord of Pyongyang ordered in horror.
"It's over!" Li Cunhuan said with a smile, his voice was not heard in the sound of drums. However, this idea came to everyone's mind. Since the emergence of artillery, the combat mode of this era will be changed, but what makes Li Cunhuan regret is that the range of artillery is too short, and the effective range is only a little more than 200 meters. As a result, he had to take the risk of transporting five artillery pieces to fifty meters away from the city gate under the guise of siege engines for firing, which led to amazing results. Next time, I wonder if there will be such an opportunity?
"What! The city of Pyongyang was attacked by Lee Cun-hwan! Why did the soldiers receive the news when they came to the city! The Bow Descendant angrily threw the precious Tang Sancai in his hand to the ground.
"King, the first thing to do now is to find out Li Cunhuan's soldiers and horses. And it turned out that he Li Cunhuan didn't know how to lift, so we marched into Lulong! Goguryeo Hanzhou garrison Park Ji-kyun said viciously.
"Humph! Li Cunhuan is this guy, the widow will naturally not let him go! However, Zhen Xuan now occupies the area around Woongju (now Seoul, South Korea, mainly the Han River Plain). I'm very passive now, I can't just let go of Zhen Xuan! The Bow Descendant said distressedly.
"King, I think it would be difficult to unite Bohai and Khitan to Li Cunhuan, so Li Cunhuan will also be restrained, don't want to attack my Goguryeo!" General Wang Jian said on the side.
Gong Descendant shook his head and said, "Bohai has been scared by Li Cunhuan!" As for the Khitan? Hum! It is said that the great nobles on their side, Yelu Abaoji, have taken refuge in Li Cunhuan, and have also appeased many Khitan tribes from the Khitan, and now the Khitan Khan is just barely gasping under Li Cunhuan's iron hooves! ”
"King! Pyongyang urgent! A soldier rushed in in a panic.
"Got it! Isn't it Lee Cun-hwan attacking Pyongyang? Jin Zong and that guy knew that they were asking for help, and they didn't believe that Zhen Xuan was in front of the widow, so he said that the widow would not be saved if he would die! Is the widow such a person!? Bowborn roared angrily.
The soldier who reported the news withstood the anger of the bow descendants, hesitated for a moment, and said, "King, it is not a letter from the lord of Pyongyang asking for help, but ...... Rather, it is the city of Pyongyang...... The city of Pyongyang is lost! The lord of Jincheng was martyred, the eleven cities in the south of Pyongyang surrendered, and the Tang army is now going all the way south and going straight to Zhongyuan Beijing! But ......"
"But what!" The Bow Descendant asked angrily, and without saying a word, he killed the soldier who reported the news.
The soldier didn't dare to sell the guanzi, so he hurriedly spoke: "Lu Longjiedu ordered Li Cunhuan to divide all the fields where he went, and each Ding gave forty acres of land and twenty acres to the woman. Now the lord of the city, who had already surrendered, immediately raised a rebellion. ”
"Hah! Ha! Li Cunhuan is an idiot, he is offending all the nobles! Want to invade Goguryeo? Let him send his spring and autumn dreams! Park Ji-kyun laughed and waved his arms in excitement.
"Nope! Lee Cun-hwan: He wants to completely control North Korea! Wang Jian said with his eyes wide in shock. What a boldness! However, it is certain that the land occupied by Li Cunhuan will immediately win the support of the peasants. After a little time, I'm afraid that the nobles will have no way to make a comeback.
"Damn Li Cunhuan!" Gong Yuan also understood, he was inexplicably angry, "Send someone to Zhen Xuan to negotiate peace!" Peace! No, if Zhen Xuan also sends troops, I can't resist alone! ”
"King, I'm afraid it's impossible, but it's possible for Zhen Xuan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! The king would give up Zhongyuan Jing and move to Shuozhou Beiyuan Jing, so that Zhen Xuan and Li Cunhuan would be better off! And at the critical moment, troops can be dispatched from Shuozhou to cut off Li Cunhuan's back road! At that time, even if Li Cunhuan has an army of one million, he will just be another Emperor Yang of Sui! Wang Jian said.
"No!" The Bow Descendants, who had an incomprehensible attachment to the land, immediately objected, and his pride made him unable to accept such a weak act. The current North Korea is the Three Kingdoms period, and if the Three Kingdoms period in China is used to describe the Gong descendants, then Cao Ying is the most appropriate. The same nobleman, rising from the weaker one. However, he does not have the talent and mind of Cao Ying, and he is destined to perish in the end.

"Li Cunhuan? Who is he? Zhen Xuan, who didn't pay too much attention to Datang, asked softly to Ah Cilong, the strategist beside him, with some surprise.
Ah Cilong is Zhen Xuan's uncle, who is familiar with military books and strategies, and has traveled all over the world when he was young and has a wide range of knowledge. Therefore, he is the most important advisor of Zhen Xuan, the king of Baekje.
is different from Zhen Xuan, Ah Cilong still has some understanding of the situation in Datang. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Li Cunhuan, whose original origin is said to be a native of Lingnan, was born as a refugee, but he is strong in martial arts, and was recruited by Li Kuang as a guard at that time, and raised troops from Li Kuang to expel Li Congwei, and was adopted as an adopted son by Li Kuangchou because of his ability to fight. Later, Li Kuangchou was defeated by Li Keyong, Li Cunhuan stepped forward, defeated Li Keyong, and took over the position of Lu Longjiedu. He was one of the most powerful princes of the Tang Dynasty. ”
