It is said that when the Tang army stationed outside Anshi City encountered the first night attack of the Gaoxiang Li, Li Tai caught the turtle in the urn, surrounded and suppressed it, beheaded thousands of people, and led 40,000 soldiers and horses to ambush the captives and reinforcements.

After arranging the troops, Li Tai personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to take risks and introduced 200,000 reinforcements led by Gao Yanshou in the north and Gao Huizhen in the south into the canyon.

The Tang army occupying the high ridge dropped the heads of nearly 1,000 captives, and "the 30,000 Tang troops ambushed in the canyon waited for the opportunity to move, and attacked before and after, the Tang army was violent, and the reinforcements were in chaos, Gao Yanshou divided his troops to meet the battle in panic, but the reinforcements had been frightened by the thousand heads that fell from the sky, and the army was in turmoil, and they scattered and fled.

As a last resort, Gao Yanshou led the people to surrender, subject to Li Tai, Gao Huizhen, the leader of the shoe bow department, resisted, Li Tai directly ordered people to kill 4,000 shoju soldiers, captured more than 1,000 people from various Goguryeo departments, sent troops back to Fengyuan, and returned the rest to Pyongyang.

Only half a day before and after this battle, 8,000 people were killed and wounded, the Tang army also lost 3,000 men and horses, and several generals who took the lead were also seriously wounded, but Li Tai's deeds of surrendering 200,000 reinforcements with only 40,000 soldiers and horses shocked the whole country of Goguryeo in a few days.

Besides, when the news reached Porcelain City, Li Tai had already returned to the Tang army camp with his soldiers, horses, captured grain and grass, and Gao Yanshou, who led the troops to surrender.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Wanchun listened to the report from the spies below, and his hands on the seat were pulled into the wood.

, "Youzi Li Taeyu captured the leaders of the tribes, dismissed the rest of the troops back to Pyongyang, Gao Daren led people to surrender Tang, 200,000 reinforcements were scattered, and returned to the city lord" This is how it happened. ”

For a long time after the spies finished reporting, no one in the hall said anything, and I don't know whether they were stunned by this sunny thunderbolt, or frightened by Yang Wanchun's iron face.

"City Lord, the reinforcements have been destroyed, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to step up the city defense as soon as possible, Li Tai's son is not trivial, he has returned victoriously now, and his morale is great, we have to guard against it."

"In my opinion, the Tang Army's construction of a slope outside our city must be ignored, they now have grain and grass, which is different from the past." ”

"Ahem, if the reinforcements don't come, we will marry the Tang people to defend the city under the siege of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, is it reluctant?"

"Lord Kim, what do you mean by that? Defend the city reluctantly, don't you defend it? ”

"I, I didn't say that I wouldn't defend it, but the Tang people had sent a letter to my city before" said that if we don't surrender, after we capture the city, we will kill all the people in the city" You see that the prince of the Tang people didn't bury thousands of reinforcements, I am thinking about the people in the city. ”

"What is for the sake of the people? I think you just want to learn from Gao Yanshou, that traitor to Tang! ”

"Who do you say is a traitor!" ”

, "Whoever descends the Tang dog is!" ”

"Two adults, don't quarrel with each other. ”

The people in the hall soon divided into two factions and quarreled, one part insisted on defending the city to the death, and the other part was worried that the Tang army would break through the city, so Table 1 showed a tendency to surrender.

Yang Wanchun didn't know if he could hear it or not, and Xiao Han was the only one in the seat who noticed his abnormality, and deliberately raised his voice: "How to deal with it, please also ask the city lord to order the arrangement." ”

Yang Wanchun raised his hand and twisted his eyebrows, "Let me think twice before making a decision, please go back first, and each of you will return to your own duties." ”

Yang Wanchun sighed after recounting the news reported today, and said to the woman opposite: "Miss Shen, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my words this time, and my city of Anshi is still in danger, not to mention helping your master take the prince's life."

The woman frowned, her sad face was very pitiful, "However, Yang Wanchun is upset about this matter, how can she have the heart to appreciate her beauty."

"I have the best of both worlds here, I don't know if you will listen to the city lord."

"Oh? What do you think? ”

"The prince has won, he will definitely send someone to surrender outside the city first, and when you pretend to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, lead the prince to come forward, talk to him in front of the city gate, and then arrange someone to secretly shoot him with a strong crossbow, you"

"Never!" Yang Wanchun didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted angrily, "I took Miss Shen as a confidant, but are you trying to harm me, if you really shoot the prince like this, how can the Tang people give up with me?" At that time, I not only became a villain, but the city was also difficult to protect, so how could I talk about taking the position of Yuan Gai Suwen. ”

The woman bypassed the mat, sat down beside Yang Wanchun, and softly reached out to stroke his ups and downs: "I asked you to send someone to shoot the prince, but I didn't let you do it personally, why don't you find a henchman and assign this appointment to him, and after the matter is completed, the Tang army will investigate it, and you will push this person out to take the blame, the city lord doesn't know, now the prince is not the only one in the Tang military camp, and the uncle has no choice but to disagree with him, as long as the prince dies, the military heart is disordered, It is unknown whether the Tang army will continue to attack the city, so why should you be afraid. ”

"This" Yang Wanchun hesitated for a while after listening to the woman's words, he didn't want to risk himself and the entire Anshi City, but the youhuo spirit who could push Yuangai Suwen down was too big.

"This matter is too risky, you can let me think about the candidate." ”

"What else do you want" The woman saw him shaken and struck while the iron was hot" "I remember that the city lord once mentioned that you recognize a nominal brother, who was in the Tang military camp before, and now the brother is a city lord, the person who is guilty of this crime needs to have weight, isn't he just right, the city lord is a person who can achieve great things, and he must not be confined to small sections." ”

Yang Wanchun frowned violently, turned his head to look at the woman, stretched out his hand to pull down the Rouyi who was being obedient to her, rubbed it hard, and said in a low voice: "You are trying to trap me in injustice." ”

The woman had already seen that he had made a decision, snuggled into his arms softly, and said softly: "Actually, Manyun is also rich, if the city lord and the master make an agreement, I can stay with you and don't have to go back."

Yang Wanchun's light flickered, his heart was angry, he hugged her into his arms and picked her up, tore her clothes all the way, and entered the inner room.

It was night, inside and outside the camp, several layers of defense were strengthened in front and back, and the patrols came and went, which was more rigorous than in previous days.

In the prince's tent, the lights were bright, Lu Jun was led into the tent by Ah Sheng, and at a glance he saw the man on the side of the couch who was changing the medicine by the doctor, and his eyes touched the palm-sized piece of flesh and blood on the shoulders of the opposite person, and the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared by half.

Ah Sheng didn't pass the message, and stood by the door with Lu Jun, waiting for the doctor to wrap the wound with gauze before he spoke: "Master, General Lu is here." ”

Lu Jun stepped forward and saluted, "See the prince." ”

Despite the restraint on his face, Lu Jun's dissatisfaction was still unmistakable from the tone.

Li Tai put on a long robe, turned around, and faintly showed a lean xiong bore, a white yarn wrapped in front of the xiong, and a red sè jade pur wrapped with green silk around his neck.

His temperament was very bad, there was almost no blood on his face, his short beard that had grown for several years had been shaved at some point, and a layer of green stubble had grown on his chin, which was the opposite of his sharp and terrifying eyes.

Li Tai returned to the camp half an hour ago, and learned from Ah Sheng that the Yu was captured in Anshi City, but he was not angry, knowing that Lu Yao was protecting the Yu in the city, even if Ah Sheng went to find Lu Jun to come over, even the visit of the commander Bewuji and Li Shiji was refused.

Lu Jun did not succumb to Li Tai's momentum, and without waiting for Li Tai to speak, he asked angrily, "Why did the prince bring her to the battlefield?" Don't you know how dangerous it is here? She was framed and locked up, if I hadn't asked Ah Sheng to ask for help from me in advance, and let someone follow her in time, who could have kept her safe and sound at this time, and she might not be where she would be now! ”

Ah Sheng saw that Lu Jun dared to talk to Li Tai, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Second son, it's all to blame for the subordinates' dereliction of responsibility and failure to protect the crown princess, and when the princess comes back safely, the subordinates are willing to listen to you." ”

, "I didn't ask you" Lu Jun impatiently pushed Ah Sheng aside and continued to question Li Tai: "What do you think of my sister, she followed you, she didn't have a day of peace, either in Chang'an and was afraid to intrigue with others, or for you to run around and suffer, you are still taking her to the battlefield, have you considered her safety?" ”

"She's not as weak as you think." Li Taidao took the decoction handed by the doctor and took it.

"No matter how strong she is, she's just a woman, not your subordinate!" Lu Jun roared angrily.

Ah Sheng's cold sweat had already come down, he looked at Li Tai cautiously, he was afraid that Li Tai would withdraw all the anger on Lu Jun, no one knew better than him, when he first heard that Yu Yu was brought into Anshi City by the captives, there was a moment, Li Tai had already killed him, but fortunately, he was sharp-tongued, and he made it clear about Yu Yu's current situation, otherwise he might not know which pit he was buried in at this time.

However, to Ah Sheng's surprise, Li Tai did not get angry, but spoke calmly: "Your subordinate returned to the camp to look for you, and brought him to me." ”

Lu Jun punched Mianhua, and the fire couldn't come out, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "Who knows when he will come back." ”

Li Tai said: "Tomorrow I will send troops to Anshi to persuade you to surrender, the news will soon reach the city, and he will definitely come out of the city to find you at that time." ”

"Persuasion?" Lu Jun was drawn to his attention, "Will the Goguryeo people be willing?" ”

"Whether they want it or not, I will take this city, go back, and remember to bring him to me."

Li Tai handed the medicine bowl to the doctor, and lay down on the couch again, leaning sideways without touching the wound.

Ah Sheng saw that he wanted to rest, so he walked to the door and lifted the curtain, stretched out his hand to lead Lu Jun out, he sent guests like this, even if Lu Jun still had something to say in his stomach and didn't finish speaking, he was embarrassed to continue to stay, and left sullenly.

"All out." Lee Tae-do.

The husband didn't even pack up his things, so he bowed his head and retreated.

Li Tai was lying on the couch alone, his fingers hooked the jade pendant in front of Xiong, and gently rubbed his face, shrouded in yīn's shadow.
