Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three Regrets
Knowing the final intentions of Zuo Tiancheng's group, Luo Shixin was in awe, but also felt sorry for them.
The world is impermanent, because of Yang Guang's strange existence, the Sui Dynasty fell in a straight line at its peak, relying on the relationship of Princess Yicheng, who married to the Turks, and under the protection of the Turks, barely maintained the national ancestry, where is the ability to conquer Goguryeo?
Goguryeo is a place with poor mountains and bad waters, strong people, and extremely treacherous terrain. If the Central Plains Dynasty wants to conquer the army, it has to work hard to mobilize the people, and without a certain strength, sending troops to Goguryeo is empty talk. The great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty greatly damaged the vitality of the Central Plains, and the population of the world plummeted by three-quarters, and its strength was even inferior to that of the Turks.
Zuo Tiancheng thought of achieving his goal, and he didn't have to wait for more than ten or twenty years, I was afraid that it would be extravagant. Of course, this is according to the course of history, but now that there is an unknown variable about him, it is difficult to say.
"Today is different from the past, after a group of heroes and deer, although the world is unified, it is a waste to be rebuilt, and it needs to be recuperated and adjusted. The conquest of Goguryeo was inevitable, but it was unlikely in the short term. Luo Shixin tactfully said what he meant.
Zuo Tiancheng learned that the world had changed hands, and he was also mentally prepared, but when he heard Luo Shixin say this, he was still a little gloomy and confused: What have you been waiting for all these years?
But when he heard Luo Shixin's last words, his spirit was shocked, and he said, "The general is really sure that Li Tang will attack Goguryeo?" ”
Luo Shixin nodded in affirmation: "This is inevitable!" Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty placed the four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, and Lintun, the northeast is the territory of our Han people. Now let Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje divide it, and no matter what, they will get it back. ”
Zuo Tiancheng's expression was happy, and he regained his motivation, he has been waiting for five or six years, and he has already gotten used to it, so why not wait a few more years. So he said, "I will inform my people when I turn back, and if they are willing to return, I will send them a coil and let them go." As for me not leaving, my comrades-in-arms have fallen on this land, and I will avenge them. In the future, when Li Tang conquered Goguryeo, I will act as a guide for you. ”
Luo Shixin didn't go deep to persuade him, he was not familiar with Zuo Tiancheng after all, so he could only choose to respect his decision.
Their future is discussed with each other by close people such as Zhao Dezhu and Li Yuncong, rather than an outsider.
Zuo Tiancheng's daughter is not sick, but a big supplement.
The little girl was born prematurely and was born with a lot of diseases. In order to replenish his daughter's body, Zuo Tiancheng's father's love was overflowing, and he almost gave her the heavenly treasures of Taibai Mountain as food, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Codonopsis wheel, Yunzhi, gentian, bear bile, these messy things.
Children's absorption ability is not strong, and eating so many tonic things will cause a strict load on the body, and eventually become ill.
Zuo Tiancheng was annoyed to death when he learned the reason.
Sun Simiao determined the condition and found the root cause of the disease, reasonably arranged the medical treatment process, consolidated the functions of the five internal organs with small tonics, and taught her the five bird tricks to exercise herself.
It took three days to determine the girl's condition, and after repeatedly telling Zuo Tiancheng to take precautions, he walked with Luo Shixin and returned to the Central Plains together.
In the past three days, Luo Shixin and Pei Qingyi have traveled to Taibai Mountain under the leadership of Li Yuncong, hunting in the snow, soaking in hot springs in the snow, enjoying the scenery in the snow and so on. The scenery of this snow country has a unique taste. Among them, the most lingering thing for Luo Shixin is to fight hand-to-hand with the big brown bear, find a cave where the big brown bear hibernate and sleep, the dove occupies the magpie's nest to anger the big brown bear, fights with the big brown bear with his bare hands, beats the fat big brown bear full of head, and runs away in the wilderness, which has a unique taste.
Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, and Li Yuncong personally sent the four down the mountain.
"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end! Stay and take care! Luo Shixin had a great time for three days, saying goodbye to everyone, and understanding their choice, and continued to wait when Li Tang would destroy Goguryeo and when they would return home in triumph.
Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, and Li Yuncong also said in unison: "Precious!" "The foot of Taibai Mountain is the boundary point for the send-off, and the goal of continuing to send it is too big, which will add danger to Luo Shixin and his party.
"Next time, play longer! The Tianchi of Taibai Mountain hasn't taken you there yet! Li Yuncong came to Luo Shixin and gave him a hug.
These days, Li Yuncong took him to play, and he got along very well and had a good relationship.
Luo Shixin hugged his hands hard and said: "Certainly, I have three regrets in Taibai Mountain, and not climbing to the top to see Tianchi is one of them; failed to meet Hai Dongqing, and capturing it to domesticate is the second; Not being able to compete with the real big brown bear is the third. These three regrets didn't make a vow, so they will come anyway. ”
When Li Yuncong heard the first two regrets, he could still smile, but when he heard the third, the whole person felt a thunderous feeling.
Fighting with brown bears, this is a form of frolicking that he stumbles upon. It's just that he was looking for those bears who had just grown up, but Luo Shixin disliked that the bears were too small and not enjoyable, so he directly faced the big brown bear weighing 800 catties of two meters and five, and beat the other party with a fat head, and he was dumbfounded.
As a result, Luo Shixin still thought that the brown bear was not fierce enough, so if he encountered a big brown bear weighing three or four meters, he would definitely keep it for him and let him play.
The king of the forest, the big brown bear that can shoot the lion and tiger to death with one palm, has become a fun toy here in Luo Shixin.
Li Yuncong's expression froze, and he nodded solemnly and said, "It must be." ”
Luo Shixin was initially worried that because they had made a big fuss, the return trip would be dangerous. I don't want to feel that although the atmosphere is tense along the way, it is calm and calm, and there is no situation. It seems that the atmosphere in Goguryeo was not directed at them, there was another situation.
How did he know that because of his trouble, Goguryeo's most powerful minister, Lu Yuan Dazuo, was persuaded by the radical son Yuan Gai Suwen to launch a mutiny and depose the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu.
Gao Jianwu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although Yizhi Wende's death is a great blow to him, but it will not be pushed directly into the abyss.
In the years after Yuan Ziyou's death, Gao Jianwu also attracted some henchmen, including many loyal and brave people such as Yang Wanchun, although their strength was not as good as Yuan's, but they should not be underestimated.
Yuan Dazuo in Goguryeo was not able to cover the sky with one hand like the historical Yuan Gai Suwen, under the planning of Ulji Wende's son Ulji Hou Wu: Goguryeo held a military training and transferred Yang Wanchun to Pyongyang, and before the mutiny, he stifled Yuan Dazuo's actions.
The mutiny did not happen as agreed, but the bad relationship between Gao Jianwu and Yuan Dazuo is already well known.
The entire Goguryeo was affected, either standing in line or watching, and the people up and down were panicked, where did they still take care of Luo Shixin and them.
Gao Jianwu and Yuan Dazuo were deadlocked with each other for their own interests, not realizing that the only way to minimize the damage of civil strife was to be lightning fast.
The more stalemate the two sides have, the greater the damage to the national body.
The unsuccessful mutiny of Yuan Dazuo was the cornerstone of burying Goguryeo.
