955, the omen of the death of the country

"King, now that the Tang army has conquered the Liaodong defense line, we have no danger to defend. The Tang army can attack all the way to our capital, and if the Tang army comes to the city, it will be over. And Silla has already sent troops from the south, is attacking the city and plundering the territory, ready to march towards Pyongyang at any time. We are now under the brink of the enemy, and we simply cannot spare our forces to regain the lost territory. It is also difficult to hold the capital Pyongyang now, so please come up with a way to save our Goguryeo! Gao Jianwu's entourage said.

At this time, someone immediately said, "King, I think we might as well order Baekje to send troops to attack Silla, so that we can force Silla to retreat!" ”

Baekje and Goguryeo have always been allies, and they bullied Silla together, so now everyone immediately remembered that they were their "friends" to attack Silla. However, in fact, it may not be as rosy as it seems.

"Nonsense, we were able to command Baekje at that time, and that was because we were strong. Now that we are in danger, will they still obey our orders? When the time comes, it would be nice if they didn't bite back! ”

"But if we are destroyed, then they may not be able to survive alone! Won't they feel the crisis? ”

"But they and Datang don't have the blood debt of millions of people, we have it! The reason why the Tang Dynasty wants to destroy us, in addition to the territory, is more important is the blood debt of millions of lives, plus we put the bones of those fallen soldiers of the Sui Dynasty on the road from Pyongyang to the Yalu River, showing off their martial arts like this, doesn't this make the Tang army hate? No matter what they do, they are all Han Chinese, can they tolerate Han people being treated like this? The Han people are the most faithful corpses, and if we treat them like this, will they be able to forgive us? And Baekje didn't have such a big hatred, and the Tang Dynasty might not destroy them, so they might take refuge in the Tang Dynasty instead! ”

And can you say that Baekje is going to attack Silla? and then surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and there was no bottom in this heart. If Goguryeo was still strong, then they would naturally listen to orders. But when I turned my head, if Goguryeo was strong, Silla would not take the initiative to attack it, so this is a question of chicken or egg, and there is no real answer at all.

"Give it a try!" Gao Jianwu said to his subordinates.

Anyway, Gao Jianwu couldn't figure out Baekje's thoughts, that is, he could only send someone over to try it, if Baekje sent troops, it would be helpless.

"Your Majesty, the minister asked to kill the whole family of Lu Yuantaiqi. To thank Goguryeo. Yuan Taiqi's son Yuan Gai Suwen once promised the king that he would be able to hold Liaodong City and then become the second Yizhi Wende. But now Liaodong City has been breached in less than a day, and Yuangai Suwen has retreated. After that, he claimed that he would lead a 100,000-strong military region to support Anshi, but now he was defeated and retreated, leaving less than 20,000 left. In this way, we lost 80,000 troops, which was almost 30% of the strength that I could use in Goguryeo. Therefore, the minister asked the king to kill Yuan Taiqi's entire family and warn him. Yang Ling said.

This Yang Ling is Yang Wanchun and Yang Qin's father. Now one of his sons was killed by Li Shimin to feed the dogs, and the other son was also defeated, so Yang Ling wanted to transfer the target, and then let Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu hold others responsible. This will allow people to stay out of their minds.

And Yuan Taiqi immediately said angrily: "If it weren't for your son being too rice bucket, assassinating Li Shimin would have failed?" My son Yuangai Suwen still trusts your son and gives him all his maid assassins, but now you have failed. Of course, this was found by your son Yang Qin. If he can succeed in the assassination, then there is no need to avoid a qiΔ“ battle now. If the assassination can be successful, then the Tang army will retreat without a fight. What else can there be now? Also, didn't your son Yang Wanchun agree? Say what to hold on for two days, and then wait for Gasuvin's reinforcements. But Yang Wanchun only held on for a day, and he was breached in Anshi, isn't this your responsibility? The minister asked the king to kill the Yang family, so that he could correct the military law! Yuan Taiqi also said.

The current Yuan family is not the family that was able to serve as the actual controller of Goguryeo in the original history. Originally, it was Yuangai Suwen who seized power after a coup d'Γ©tat, but now Yuangai Suwen is only the heir of a big family, and his father has not died, so he has not inherited the position. There is no way to launch a mutiny, so now the actual person who holds the power is still the king Gao Jianwu, so Yuan Taiqi is also afraid that what if Gao Jianwu can't help it and kills himself?

"Yuan Taiqi, if it weren't for Yuan Gai Suwen not guarding Liaodong City, would there have been any later events?" Yang Ling continued.

"Yang Ling, if it weren't for Yang Wanchun's claim that he could hold it for two days, then the dog wouldn't have been annihilated by an army of 80,000 because the plan failed!" Yuan Taiqi also shouted.

The Goguryeo officials at the scene also dodged a few steps one after another, after all, if two bigwigs like people quarreled, it would be miserable if they were implicated. This kind of thing, the gods fight, and the prisoners suffer, so they won't be stupid to take the initiative to get up. And these two bigwigs are still arguing with each other, obviously wanting to shift the blame to each other. Yang Ling has coveted Yuan Taiqi's position for a long time, and Yuan Taiqi naturally can't give up, this is related to his own net worth and life, so naturally he can't give up.

Gao Jianwu looked at this and asked the sky speechlessly.

This is really a sign of the death of the country, an out-and-out sign of the death of the country. In the face of the enemy's large number of soldiers, these internal officials did not think about how to deal with external enemies, but instead thought about how to fight for power and profit, and how to allow themselves to seize the other party's position. But don't these guys know? There are no eggs under the nest, what can they do if Goguryeo dies? Perhaps, these families may not have too much sadness about the death of Goguryeo. After all, if Goguryeo dies, they will go to the Tang Dynasty in a big deal. And this kind of courtier, that is, he can take refuge in others at any time, unlike those first-in-command families, once the country is destroyed, it means that maybe the whole clan will not perish. And those courtiers can continue to be rich if they change their bosses, so they may not know that Goguryeo will die if this continues, and maybe the reason why they are fighting for power is just to sell themselves for a good price when the time comes.

"Goguryeo, is it going to perish? Is it in my hands that you will perish? Gao Jianwu thought speechlessly. (To be continued......)
