Chapter 461: The Death of Anshi (4)
At four o'clock, the original brilliant sunset on the horizon has become as dark as pus and blood, the sky is gradually getting dark, it is long time to prepare dinner, but the soldiers and civilians in the city of An'an City are still very excited, the streets and alleys are full of people who spontaneously parade with torches, cheers and cheers resounded in the sky, as if a major victory has been achieved, and then the noise outside is noisy, and the noise is noisy, for Yang Wanchun and Gao Huailong, who are sitting opposite each other in the secret room, they are not in the mood to pay attention to it at all. The two of them didn't even know what to talk about, so they just sat quietly opposite each other, letting the oppressive atmosphere gather and linger in the room.
Cough, cough Maybe it's because the room is really too depressing, or maybe it's the impact of the arrow wound in the chest, Gao Huailong, who has been sitting upright for a long time, couldn't help but cough and gasp in a low voice.
General Gao, are you okay? Hearing Gao Huailong's cough, Yang Wanchun frowned, and hurriedly asked with concern.
It's okay, it's okay. Gao Huailong gently pressed the bandage on his chest, smiled bitterly, and then shook his head and said: I didn't expect that there was such a marksman in the Tang army's formation, and Gao was far from being able to reach it.
As soon as he heard Gao Huailong's words, Yang Wanchun chuckled in his heart, and then thought of Xue Rengui's miraculous archery skills, and was also shocked, but Yang Wanchun was not worried that the Tang army would be able to break the city defense with just one or two brave generals, but he was deeply worried about Gao Huailong's confidence wavering, but it was not easy to say it directly, and he muttered slightly: This time the Tang army can be repelled, all of which are the merits of General Gao, and Yang Mou thanked General Gao on behalf of the people of the city.
Yang Chengshou doesn't have to be like this, this is what someone Gao should do. Gao Huailong is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard Yang Wanchun's words, he knew that Yang Wanchun was worried that he was not confident enough to defend the city, so he looked at Yang Wanchun cautiously and said: Gao is a minister of Goguryeo, and it is his responsibility to defend the land, Gao is still the old saying, if the Tang army wants to break the city, unless he steps on the corpse of someone Gao!
Well, the general is quick to say this! Yang Wanchun saw that Gao Huailong was not intimidated by Xue Rengui's divine shooting, his heart was a little calm, he applauded, and said with a little excitement: Although the Tang army retreated today, it is afraid that it will come back the next day, well, in today's battle, the Tang army is angry and attacking the city, and it is a matter of course that the defeat and retreat are heard, however, if it comes back the next day, it is difficult to defend it, what good plan can General Gao have for this?
As soon as he remembered that today's group of wild Turkic soldiers killed the city with only a cloud ladder, Gao Huailong couldn't help but shudder in his heart, but at this time he really wanted to come up with a good strategy to defend the city, but it was too difficult for him, in desperation, as long as he spread his hands, and said honestly: No, only improvisation!
What Gao Huailong said is naturally the truth, in the case of not knowing how the Tang army will attack the city, how can he say a competitive move, that is, Yang Wanchun, who is not proficient in the army, will ask such a stupid question, therefore, when Gao Huailong's voice fell, Yang Wanchun also laughed at himself, stroked the long beard on his chest, and after a little groaning, he asked tentatively: General Gao, the Tang army has been newly defeated, and its morale may be affected, can our army take advantage of its unstable foothold to attack it at night?
Night Raid? Gao Huailong was stunned for a moment, muttered unconsciously in his mouth, his brows tightened, his head was lowered, and he silently calculated, and Yang Wanchun did not urge, just quietly waited for Gao Huailong's decision.
Night attack since ancient times is the only way to defeat the strong with the weak, this is the unchanging truth, and now the Tang army is strong and the Goguryeo army is weak, if the night attack can be successful, there is the possibility of laying the victory in one fell swoop, of course, the night attack is not omnipotent, the key is to be prepared for war without defense, but if once it is seen through the clues, the plan will be set up in an ambush, then there is the possibility of self-defeating, the risk is not small, since Gao Huailong is not cautious.
The art of war is cloudy: after the new victory, it is necessary to guard against night attacks, and now the Tang army has suffered a slight setback, and the battalion is probably planning to attack the city, but it may not be prepared, if it is a night attack, it is not impossible, but it must be planned in detail, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be negligence, but it is not beautiful. Gao Huailong thought about it for a long time, and also felt that it might be possible to attack Tang Ying at night, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and his words were not too sure.
General Gao, today's evening sunset is like pus and blood, after the middle of the night there will be a dark and windy day, the sky is dark, the night attack may be successful, however, Yang does not know soldiers, everything is up to General Gao. Although Yang Wanchun did not understand military strategy, he understood astronomy, and when he saw Gao Huailong hesitating at this time, he told the news that the weather would change.
Oh? Really? When Gao Huailong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
General Gao, please rest assured, a certain Shiju'an City, here the weather changes a lot of experience, this truth is also! Yang Wanchun nodded and replied with certainty.
Well, if this is the case, the big thing can be done, so go and arrange the relevant matters immediately! Gao Huailong stood up excitedly, clapped his hands suddenly, dropped a sentence, and immediately walked out of the secret room, not mentioning the matter of arranging the night attack
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, not to mention how Yang and Gao arranged their troops in the city of Anshi, but said that after the Tang army withdrew to the big camp three miles away from the city, Li Shimin couldn't take care of entering the big tent of the Chinese army to rest, so he immediately led the generals straight to the wounded barracks, intending to visit Li Simo, who had been injured by the arrow.
Knock on Your Majesty. As soon as they saw Li Shimin leading a group of generals into the big tent, several military doctors who were originally busy checking Li Simo's injuries and Imperial Doctor Hu sent by Li Shimin to treat Li Simo's injuries all knelt on the ground and paid homage, and even Li Simo, who was lying on Hu's bed, also struggled to stand up.
Li Aiqing lay down quickly, don't miss the injury. Li Shimin saw that Li Simo was about to struggle to get up and salute himself, so he immediately walked a few steps quickly, pressed Li Simo's shoulder, and gave a gentle command.
Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, which has damaged the spirit of the army, and the last general should be damned Li Simo saw that Li Shimin treated him so politely, his nose was sour, and he choked up and couldn't go on.
Qing has tried his best, what is the crime, if there is a mistake, it is also a mistake of my decision, come, lie down quickly. Li Shimin is worthy of being a master of military strategy who has fought all his life, although he was deceived by Yang Wanchun's cunning before, but at this time, he has already woken up, and he does not shy away from his own decision-making mistakes in his heart, and he did not put the blame on Li Simo's head, but took advantage of the situation to sincerely self-examine.
Your Majesty, the last general Li Simo was so moved that he burst into tears and couldn't cry.
Lie down, heal your wounds first, and I'm still waiting for Aiqing to attack the Goguryeo children. / Li Shimin gently patted Li Simo's shoulder, then turned around to look at Imperial Physician Hu who was kneeling beside him, and asked calmly: How is General Li's injury?
Your Majesty, General Li was hit by an arrow in the right shoulder socket, which penetrated the flesh very deeply, wounding the shoulder bone, and the arrow was coated with black poison. Imperial Physician Hu originally specialized in Jinshi's injuries, and he had already checked Li Simo's injuries, so he hurriedly replied respectfully.
Scraping bones to heal wounds? Li Shimin's brows furrowed inadvertently, and he looked back at Li Simo and said: In ancient times, Yun Chang scraped his bones to heal his wounds, and Aiqing can be regarded as the second person, come on, Imperial Doctor Hu, I will personally help you!
Your Majesty, this Imperial Doctor Hu was dumbfounded when he heard about it, and the healing of his wounds was complicated and bloody, and it was inevitable that those who did it would have to do some dirty work, who was Li Shimin? That is the Son of Heaven came, Imperial Physician Hu dared to instruct Li Shimin to do those dirty work, although he was willing to oppose it, but Li Shimin's golden mouth had been opened, and in full view of everyone, Imperial Physician Hu dared to refute, so he had to cast his eyes for help on the ministers who followed behind Li Shimin.
Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, Your Majesty is a daughter of a thousand gold, how can you do such a blood-stained thing?
Please retract your order.
The generals were not very compatible with Li Simo, and at this time, seeing that Li Shimin was so kind to Li Simo, they couldn't help but be a little unhappy, not to mention that Li Shimin was the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he personally exercised this cheap service, and it was not in line with the etiquette, so he spoke out to persuade him, and Li Simo himself resolutely disagreed.
The reason why Li Shimin wanted to do this, in addition to expressing his kindness to Li Simo, more importantly, in order to boost the damaged morale, he couldn't listen to the persuasion of the generals, waved his hand, and all the generals who gave advice retreated, looking at the panicked Doctor Hu Taiyi and said: Let's start, saving the wounded is like fighting a fire, and it must not be delayed.
Yes, Wechen obeys. Seeing that Li Shimin was not smiling, how dare he be lazy, so he hurriedly answered, picked up knives and other tools, walked to Hu's bed, handed over a small wooden stick, and said to Li Simo: General Li, the pain of scraping bones is not trivial, please bite this thing tightly, so as not to hurt your lips and tongue.
Okay, please. Li Simo gratefully glanced at Li Shimin, who was standing on the side waiting to make a move, answered, took the small wooden stick, bit it horizontally, and then waved his hand, signaling that Imperial Doctor Hu could start.
The Son of Heaven put down his hand, this kind of thing is too exciting, poor Imperial Doctor Hu has not yet started the operation, his forehead is already full of sweat, his body trembled suddenly, then he gritted his teeth, reached out to wipe the sweat, picked up the knife with his right hand, and slashed at Li Simo's exposed right shoulder, and then held the arrow shaft with his left hand and dragged it, without waiting for Li Simo to react, he had already pulled out the arrow shaft, and the action was as clean and neat as flowing water, but then Imperial Physician Hu hesitated It stands to reason that At this time, it was the assistant's turn to step forward and suck blood with his mouth, but the assistant at this time was Li Shimin, how dare Imperial Doctor Hu order Li Shimin to go/suck the blood? Helpless, Imperial Physician Hu could only turn his heart sideways, planning to do it himself, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to step forward and say: Come on. As soon as the words fell, without waiting for everyone in the tent to react, Li Shimin had already pasted Chrysostom to the wound, sucked it up, and spit out the black blood into the copper basin on the side, until the blood turned normal, he stopped his hand, and he didn't care about rinsing his mouth, so he said to Doctor Hu: Doctor Hu, do it quickly.
Ah, yes! Wechen obeyed. Imperial Doctor Hu didn't expect Li Shimin to do what he said, and he was dumbfounded for a while, until Li Shimin reminded him, he hurriedly answered, and walked forward in a little panic, and immediately moved the knife to Li Simo, who was sweating like rain, cut the wound, and scraped the black bones at the arrow, and then cleaned the wound with medicinal wine, stopped the bleeding with the wound medicine, bandaged it, and panicked, poor Li Simo had already passed out in pain.
Your Majesty, everything is fine, and General Lee will be able to recover after a few months' rest. Finally finished dealing with this intractable injury, Imperial Doctor Hu couldn't wipe the sweat off his face, and hurriedly bowed down to report to Li Shimin.
That's good, that's good, everything is bothered by Doctor Laohu, let General Li rest well, and I'll go to visit the wounded soldiers. Li Shimin laughed as if he had been relieved, waved his hand, and immediately led the generals out of the big tent, and went to visit the wounded soldiers in the camps of the wounded soldiers without mentioning it.
The news spread quickly, whether it was Li Shimin's beautiful talk of personally sucking the wounded blood for Li Simo, or the subsequent act of condolences to the wounded soldiers, all of them spread quickly throughout the whole army, and the officers and men of the battalions were all deeply moved, and the morale that had been slightly frustrated by the unfavorable first battle rose to a peak, and the officers and soldiers of the battalion were all discussing Li Shimin's move, and there was a big excitement in the Tang camp, but it was also a normal thing, of course, not everyone was coaxing the old man's good deeds, this is not, In Li Daozong's view, after today's first attack, a long-lasting urban offensive and defensive battle is inevitable, and this happens to be the worst result that Li Zhen deduced at the beginning, but unfortunately Li Daozong should have used all his strength, but he still can't change the progress of things, the depression in his heart can be imagined, yes, no matter how hot others are, Li Daozong can't raise a trace of enthusiasm to participate, After coming out of Li Shimin's Chinese army tent, Li Daozong didn't even have the intention of having dinner, so he wandered alone around the fence of the barracks, thinking hard, trying to find a way to speak.
Alas, after pondering for a long time, Li Daozong still couldn't come up with a good idea, he couldn't help but sigh, raised his head, but suddenly found that the sky was covered with dark clouds at some point, and he was stunned, and then turned his head, looked at Anshi City in the distance, his heart moved, as if he remembered something, frowned, and strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li Shimin is getting older at this time, and his body is already not as good as before, he has been marching for several days, and he has just arrived in Anshi City and suffered a small defeat, and his mood is not too good, but the habit he has developed for many years, even since the night is dark, Li Shimin still has not rested, but is in the big tent to read the report from the Beijing Division, and when he is looking at himself, he saw Liu Donghe hurrying in from outside the tent, bowing down and reporting: Your Majesty, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, asks to see Your Majesty.
Oh? Li Shimin raised his head from the fold, glanced at Liu Donghe, and frowned quickly, but at the end he still waved his hand and said: Announce it.
Yes, the old slave obeys. Seeing Li Shimin's displeased face, Liu Donghe didn't dare to delay longer, and hurriedly answered, hurriedly retreated, and without counting his breath, he led Li Daozong from outside the tent.
Wechen see Your Majesty. As soon as Li Daozong saw Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the copy, he hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately asked for a big gift.
Excuse me, what's the matter, Aiqing also has insomnia like me? The relationship between Li Shimin and Li Daozong is quite deep, and they are very casual in their conversations, and as soon as they see Li Daozong's face, they immediately make a joke.
Although it was late, His Majesty was still busy, how could Weichen dare to be idle. Li Daozong responded with a smile, and secretly praised the old man in his words.
Hehe, you, you like to coax me, come to people, take a seat. Li Shimin scolded with a smile, and ordered the eunuch in the big tent to bring Jindun, and after Li Daozong was guilty and sat down, he continued: Daozong came just in time, hehe, I was looking at the report of Jingshi, someone actually sued Fang Xuanling for rebellion, what do you think?
Li Daozong originally wanted to report the military situation, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Li Shimin threw out such a bombshell, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help blurting out: Impossible, Fang Xiang is definitely not a backbone. Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that he was a little reckless, and hurriedly changed his tone and said: Weichen is just guessing, not enough to believe, everything is subject to His Majesty's holy judgment.
Hahaha Li Shimin saw that although Li Daozong changed his words very quickly, his face was full of embarrassment, and he was amused when he landed; laughed out loud, threw the notebook in his hand to the copy, and said: Daozong thinks it's impossible, how can I believe it, hey, that villain has been beheaded by Zhen'er on the spot, hehe, interesting, very interesting, good killing, if I want to say, this person should not only be killed, but also have to destroy his nine clans!
As soon as Li Daozong heard it, cold sweat poured out, of course, not for the old man's killing intent, but for Li Zhen's boldness and pinched a cold sweat, you must know that the crime of rebellion has to be tried by the three divisions, and then the emperor himself can make a decision, but Li Zhen is good, not to mention the three divisions of the trial, even the old man did not have a greeting, so he killed the person who made the first complaint, strictly speaking, this is a usurpation of power, it is a taboo of the heavenly family, if Li Shimin is suspicious, it is completely possible to rely on this article to abolish Li Zhen, the prince, But seeing that Li Shimin seemed to agree with Li Zhen's approach, Li Daozong finally felt a lot more relieved, and hurriedly slapped him with a sycophant: Your Majesty Shengming, it is difficult for the ministers to pat the horse in case of emergency.
Hahaha Li Shimin laughed, waved his hand and said: That's it, you have said these flattering words to me, let's talk about it, what's the important thing to come to see me?
Your Majesty, the minister looked at the sky before, saw the dark clouds, and the temperature is not sultry, tonight is afraid that the wind will rise, on the day of the dark wind in this month, it is necessary to guard against night attacks, moreover, the minister looks at the enemy city torches are sparse, not like the appearance of guarding the palace all night, but like preparing to attack our army at night, the ministers are worried, do not dare to slacken, and come to ask Your Majesty to judge it. Li Daozong finally waited for Li Shimin to speak out and ask about the matter, so he stood up busily and bowed down to report.
Night Raid? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, didn't ask any more, walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, looked up at the cloudy sky, and then turned his head to look at Anshi City, speechless for a while, looking thoughtful
