Chapter 20: The Capture of the Goryeo Clown
readx;
Du He returned to the camp and happened to see Li Yifeng and Zhou Lingling returning to the camp, both of them had smiling faces, and they were having a lot of fun these days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yifeng, Miss Zhou!" Du He stopped the two of them, talked about their return tomorrow, and said, "Do you want to go with me, or play for a few more days." You are my friend, even if I am not there, I will receive you like the Khan of Yinan. ”
Li Yifeng said: "No, let's go together." This grassland is really interesting, but after playing for a month, I am also a little tired, or the land of China is really ...... By the way......" He suddenly thought of something and said in confusion: "When we were playing around these days, there were a few Goguryeo people who wanted to get close to me. At first, I thought they were warm and happy to make friends, but after a few days, they talked about you casually, as if they wanted to find out where you were. I think something is strange, and I don't say quietly that you went to surround and suppress the horse thieves in Yu Overseer Mountain, and I don't know when you will come back. ”
"Goguryeo?" Du He couldn't help but think of Kim Il Dong, who had been taught by himself, and showed a smile, groaning slightly, and also felt that something was wrong. He didn't know much about Goguryeo's inside story and details, so naturally he couldn't figure out their intentions.
Goguryeo is just a clown jumping off the beam in Du He's eyes at the moment, not enough to mention, but he still cares.
This battle with Xue Yantuo is already imperative and ironclad. After cleaning up Xue Yantuo, the next strategic goal must be Goguryeo.
That's for sure.
Because Goguryeo occupies the land of Liaodong.
Liaodong has been the territory of the Chinese since the Han Dynasty until the early years of the Sui Dynasty. However, due to Yang Guang's lack of Taoism and the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo took the opportunity to take Liaodong and took Liaodong as its palm. The ancient Chinese attached great importance to the concept of land, and they did not allow anyone to encroach on their territory.
An inch, even if it is only an inch, will do everything possible to take them back. Even the Song Dynasty, whose military strength was relatively weak, did not forget to recover the lost territory and return our rivers and mountains to the end of the dynasty. Even if the strength is not good, it has never been forgotten. Of course, there are bastards like Gaozong Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.
Liaodong is the territory of the Chinese, how can the Tang let them be exiled forever?
Du He has a detailed understanding of Li Shimin's personal conquest of Goguryeo in the future, many people do not know the details, thinking that Li Shimin was defeated in that battle, and even in "The Legend of Xue Rengui", Li Shimin was belittled as worthless in order to mythologize Xue Rengui, and there was even such a nonsense thing as being trapped in Phoenix Mountain. In fact, in this battle, Li Shimin gave full play to his military talent. It not only recovered Liaodong, but also conquered Xuansu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang in one fell swoop, and migrated 70,000 people from Liao, Gai, and Yan prefectures into China. Especially in the three major battles of Xincheng, Jian'an, and garrison, more than 40,000 people were beheaded, and it is worth mentioning that the casualties of the Tang army were only 2,000. In the case of a 10,000-mile expedition, it is quite difficult to hit such a casualty probability.
Such a casualty ratio is obviously very different from Yang Guang's achievements in conquering Goguryeo in the past.
It's just that Goguryeo is located near Changbai Mountain, which is an extremely cold place, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition of thousands of miles, and the cost was incalculable, and the key was the horses. The horses of the army could not stand the extremely cold climate and the harsh terrain, and lost as much as seventy or eighty percent. In order not to burden the Tang Dynasty, in order not to become the second Yang Guang, under the gratifying situation of the war, Li Shimin chose to withdraw his troops.
Li Shimin had a big heart and thought that not capturing Goguryeo would be a failure, but in Du He's view, this battle of the Tang Dynasty and defeat were obviously not close to each other.
Historically, Li Shimin was forced to withdraw his troops because of the climate problem in Goguryeo, which shows that the geographical environment there is indeed a big threat. Since a war with Goguryeo is inevitable, why not have a good understanding of the situation in Goguryeo and find a way to solve the most difficult climate problem before the war starts?
He thought of this, so he smiled and said, "No matter what the intentions of this group of thieves are, they are sure to have bad intentions. I have never been to Goguryeo, and I don't have any enemies in Goguryeo. He inquired about my news, and it was very likely that he came to Datang. Yifeng, do me a favor and lure them out. ”
Li Yifeng would not betray his friends, but the group of Goguryeo people who befriended him had ill intentions, obviously did not regard him as a friend, but a pawn to use, thought about it, and immediately agreed.
Du He didn't think that before leaving, there would be this little episode, and immediately unfolded the layout. He's not the kind of person who sits back and waits, and taking the initiative is his style of doing things. Before leaving, let Li Yifeng first contact the group of Goguryeo people, and then Qin Yu secretly followed them, directly attacking the people behind their scenes.
Li Yifeng has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and his acting skills are not inferior to those stars, Qin Yu is full of light skills, passed on by Du He, supplemented by the tracking skills he has learned, it is not easy to discover them.
Soon Du He learned where they were, and he knew that Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, and Xi Junmai were depressed these days, so he simply let them do it themselves.
From the three generals out of the horse, it is as if it is a hand to capture.
The very courageous and ignorant Yuangai Mingdong tragically met Xi Junmai.
Xi Junmai is inferior to Xue Rengui and Luo Tong in terms of martial arts, but he is a battle-hardened general, fighting with the enemy, and there is nothing to say about starting again. Yuan Gai Mingdong directly asked Xi Jun to buy it, twisted his hands and feet, kicked his legs, and threw them on the ground like a dead chicken.
Jin Bozhe didn't have any martial arts, so he let Xue Rengui subdue it with one hand.
Several other people met the belligerent Luo Tong, and after several hands and feet, they also beat them down one by one.
Such news also attracted the attention of Yi Nan and Dadushe, and made people ask the reason.
Du He explained a little, and the two of them didn't dare to do anything. Now they are afraid that Du He will catch the handle, how dare they have anything to do with this group of people in Goguryeo?
Du He directly escorted a group of thieves on the way back to Chang'an.
Yi Nan and Dadushe, who saw him off, looked at Du He's distant figure, let out a long breath, and thought to themselves: "I finally sent this disaster star away." ”
Endless wilderness.
"Jira, hang up, cheer, hehe, Ula ......" Yuangai Mingdong, who was imprisoned in the prison car, shouted dissatisfiedly in the prison car, like an angry kitten, the hair on his body seemed to stand upside down, and he spoke an incomprehensible bird language, like a fly.
Du He finally realized the mood of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", on the way back to Chang'an in triumph, he had a good look at the grassland scenery, and it was really annoying to hear that it was a monkey and a dog in his ears.
Luo Daodao: "Qinglian, I'll go and plug that guy's mouth." ”
Du He smiled: "Let's listen to what he said first, it's boring on the way, maybe you can have fun early." ”
He came to the cage of Kim Bo-cheol, knocked the cage with his horsewhip and said, "What is your name, I know you...... Back then, you were the messenger of Goguryeo...... I remember you could speak Chinese, what was that guy yelling at? ”
Kim Bo-chul was lifeless, and seemed to have no intention of taking advantage of him.
"Smack!"
Duhe threw it out with a whip.
Jin Bozhe felt a sharp pain like a tear in his cheek, and then the pain in his ears throbbed, his head dizzy, and he involuntarily fell heavily.
"I know you, but I don't know this whip either!"
Jin Bozhe shuddered in fright, among the literati, there are arrogant and awe-inspiring literati, and naturally there are also those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and Jin Bozhe is one of them. In the face of Du He's forced question, it was not that he didn't want to answer, but what Yuangai Mingdong said was very difficult to hear, and he didn't know how to translate for a while, for fear of being offended, so he was sluggish.
This whip came down, and immediately blindfolded his head, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer and said: "Lord Yuangai Mingdong said, he said that you ...... You Central Plains people are despicable and shameless, and you are extremely incompetent. He only knew how to play tricks and play sneak attacks, and he didn't dare to fight our great Goguryeo warriors head-on. It's not a man...... Those who brought seeds compared to him. He said hastily, but there were still some ugly words, and he didn't say them, but the general meaning was clearly expressed.
Du He scratched his head, he didn't understand the situation, and thought that this guy was very strong, and he was subdued by swarming up.
Xi Junmai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes, making people scold like this, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and said angrily: "General, when we rushed into the room, we fought with the intention of a quick battle. When I see someone, I will be heavy-handed, and as soon as I meet the guy, I will be knocked down, and I can't do it......"
Du He nodded and said, "I guess he didn't give him time to prepare!" He looked at Kim.
Kim Bo-chul nodded a little ashamedly.
Xi Junmai pouted and said: "What can be done with one move, why spend two tricks, this thief is not a martial arts competition, idiot ......" He is a soldier and is clean and neat, which is his style.
Du He came up with an idea, smiled and asked people to treat Yuan Gai Mingdong's injuries, and said to Jin Bozhe: "Tell that what is called Yuan Gai Mingdong, he is not convinced, I will treat his injuries and let him start over." Tell him that if he can outdo the generals around me, I'll let him go. ”
Jin Bozhe told Yuangai Mingdong what he said.
Yuangai Mingdong's eyes lit up and he said.
Jin Bozhe said: "He said seriously? ”
Du He said: "I, Du He, are full of words, you two guys, it's not enough for me to lie." He laughed and rode away.
"General......" Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, and Luo Tong looked at Du He in confusion.
Luo Daodao: "That Yuangai Mingdong is already a prisoner, why bother." ”
Du He smiled: "It's a long road, and it's a lot of fun, why not?" Unless you say the same as he said, and you don't bring ...... seed."
Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, and Luo Tong heard this, and their eyes sharpened.
Du He showed his signature smile, since the Goguryeo guy didn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had, or he had a masochistic mentality, and didn't give him a little insight to satisfy his interest, where could he be worthy of his two sentences of "the Central Plains people are despicable and shameless" and "great Goguryeo".
