Chapter 61: The Mansion Will Fall

"Since 37 B.C., Gojumong established the Goguryeo Kingdom, which lasted 705 years and passed through 28 kings, and died in China in 631 A.D. The strength of the Central Plains was the main reason for the demise of Goguryeo, but the unique geographical location of the Goguryeo Kingdom and the wrong decisions of the country's leaders were of course the more important reasons.

The territory of the Goguryeo Kingdom was destined to be constantly threatened by its neighbors. Its western neighbor is a powerful China, which has always wanted to unify the world. Later, its eastern neighbor was a powerful Japan, which had always wanted to expand its territory. This is an objective fact that cannot be changed, but the Goguryeo kingdom not only despises this fact, but also makes an unforgivable mistake: it has always been relentless in its choice of strong neighbors.

As we all know, there were only four countries left on the peninsula at that time, namely Goryeo, Wa, Silla, and Baekje, of which Silla and Baekje were all subject to the Tang Dynasty, and these two countries hated each other and often fought each other, because the difference in strength was not big, no one could help anyone, but Goguryeo intervened at this time, and had to help Baekje and destroy Silla together.

Fighting dogs also depends on the master, Silla, as a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, if it is destroyed by the light yì, how to put the face of the Tang State and the great power of the Tang State, if it is destroyed by the light yì, how should those subject countries of the Tang State deal with themselves, so the Tang Taizong of that year relied on the power of the Qingyun encountered in the Central Plains, and sent large armies to attack Goguryeo one after another, and finally, it captured Pyongyang at the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan and destroyed the Goryeo regime.

The only way to deal with strong neighbors is to lower our posture and increase diplomatic flexibility. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, history has left this law: weak countries continue to pick out strong neighbors. It will inevitably invite disasters that cannot be afforded. Use this to measure ancient and modern historical sites. There are few exceptions. -- Excerpt from "Bai Yang Says Tang History......

From the front, news of Gao Yanshou's defeat came. Yuangai Suwen seemed to have his backbone removed from the main hall in Pyongyang, hugging the pillars on the main hall and crying, and he didn't dare to go up to comfort him.

"Gaijin." Looking at the grief-stricken and crying Yuangai Suwen, Hua Rongnu's eyes were also red, and the 150,000 Goryeo children were buried like this, as the leader of Goryeo, she also felt this blow.

"Stupid, stupid!" Yuangai Suwen's snot and tears flowed down together. "I didn't have much confidence in these two people at the beginning, and I shouldn't have let these two go out of the city to fight! Now, my Goryeo cities are in danger, and even Pyongyang is in danger! When Yuangai Suwen said this, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Hua Rongnu also showed a sad face, and said sadly: "Gaijin, it is useless to talk more at this time, the city of Anshi is dangerously high, and it must still be able to stop the footsteps of the Tang people, once it enters winter." It would have been impossible for the Tang people to take Pyongyang. ”

Hua Rongnu's consolation still had some effect, and Yuan Gai Suwen stopped crying. Instead, his eyes were red and he said to the guard next to him: "Is there any news engraved in the Wa Kingdom?" ”

The guard said tremblingly, "Go back to ...... Returning to the general, there is no news from the Wa country. ”

"Bump." Yuangai Suwen's fist slammed on the table, "I said that I would make a bloody alliance, and if one side was attacked, the other party should do all its best to save it, but this country is really treacherous, and he doesn't care about the oath he made at the beginning. ”

Hua Rongnu also looked a little helpless, her husband still wants to rely on unrealistic foreign aid, it is really too easy to trust others, "Gaijin, the Japanese people are good at bullying, when did the promise they made come true, the husband still thinks about how to let our army defend Anshi City and Pyongyang." ”

When Yuan Gai Suwen heard this, he also showed a deep look on his face, and said slowly: "Anshi City is General Yang guarding the city, General Yang is the general who admires the most, not only good at garrisoning, but also good at defending the city, this time, the general put all his hopes on him!" ”……

"Fifty thousand horses, fifty thousand cattle, ten thousand collars of armor, and thousands of other instruments were seized." Li Er was a little overwhelmed in the face of this urgent piece of information, Li Ji and Li Daozong's big victory was not what he expected, but this time Goryeo was so completely defeated It was very unexpected to him, it was 150,000 people, not 150,000 pigs, even if they stood still and let Li Ji kill them, they would have to kill for a long time, Li Er was particularly curious about how they managed to win a big victory at this time.

"Your Majesty, after crossing the mountain in front of you, you will reach the Liao River, General Xue Rengui is here to guard and greet Your Majesty." The voice of white eyebrows came from the swaying royal bowl.

"Xue Rengui?" Li Er seemed to be a little familiar with this name, but he couldn't remember it, he pondered for a while before he remembered, and asked tentatively, "Xue Rengui?" But the young general who is excellent in the city management team? ”

"Returning to His Majesty, it's him." Bai Mei seemed to be very interested in Xue Rengui, and said respectfully: "Although this Xue Rengui is young, he has a peerless arrow technique that pierces Yang in a hundred steps, and Xu Yang of Guigu also takes good care of him, and once personally gave him a musket, called a sniper rifle, which is said to be a first-class artifact in the world, have you forgotten?" ”

Li Er sat in the carriage and thought about it carefully, there was really such a thing, these people were secretly training in the Qinling Mountains at the beginning, and they hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, and they had forgotten many newcomers in the army.

"I was negligent." Li Er stopped saying a word, closed his eyes, and waited for the army to arrive in Liaoshui......

"The last general will see His Majesty! Dressed in military armor, it is inconvenient to make a big salute, and please forgive your majesty. A white-robed young general stood beside the carriage with his fists crossed, looking heroic, and there were some shadows of his own year, Li Er kept looking at Xue Rengui, and said that the young man's body changed very quickly, it was only half a year, and the young man in front of him retreated from his childishness, and he seemed much more mature, Li Er still remembered that this kid in Qinling was reckless and aggressive in his own archery, and the young man's sharp edge was at a glance, but it was only half a year, and the whole temperament of the young man in front of him had changed dramatically, It seems to be like a simple knife, with no edge in sight, but hidden underneath is a murderous knife that can kill people at any time.

"Good." Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that Guigu once gave you a Guigu artifact, can you show it to me?" Li Er showed a playful look.

There was a trace of reluctance on Xue Rengui's face, and then he said calmly: "Your Majesty can see it at any time." With that, he pulled down a strap from his shoulder, and tied a long strip of wrapping on his back, and opened the package, and a brand-new musket appeared in Li Er's eyes, but this musket is very different from ordinary muskets, its barrel is longer, and there are many sophisticated instruments on it.

Without waiting for Li Er to ask, Xue Rengui explained: "Qi Yu Xià, this thing can hit a target a thousand steps away when there is no strong wind, it is a musket artifact given by Guiguzi himself, called a sniper rifle. ”

"Hmm." Li Er nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand again, "From now on, you don't have to defend Liaoshui Pass, and attack Goryeo with me!" ”……

"Come, Xingtang, do you want to eat the candy in Dad's hand~" Facing the nine-month-old Xingtang, Xu Yang has been teaching him to walk during this time, and the transition from crawling to walking is not easy, although Xingtang's body is healthy, but he is a little fat, and the strength of his limbs is still a little weak, so he can only hold on to the furniture and walk slowly two steps, but it is 'Dad' and 'Mom' who shouted extremely kindly, which made Xu Yang and Liu Mengli's hearts bloom.

I don't know if it's the favor of God or the luck of the traverser, Jin Shengman's daughter is also very healthy, and Xu Yang often accompanies her during this time, after all, she is a younger child, and it is inevitable that she will be partial in her heart.

Just as Xu Xingtang was giving his thumb and staring at the candy in Xu Yang's hand, Liu Qi's voice suddenly came from outside the gate, "Lord County!" There is an urgent report from the front! ”

When Xu Yang heard this, he hurriedly pushed open the door, and couldn't wait to ask Liu Qi, "How?!" ”

Liu Qi respectfully wrote a letter on the ground, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county lord, as the county lord expected, the Koreans were defeated in Anshi City!" General Li Ji exterminated more than 50,000 people! Tens of thousands! ”

Xu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed lightly: "This big victory, Goryeo Kingdom, Guangsha will fall!" ……”…… (To be continued......)
