Chapter 586: Descending (Summoning a Monthly Pass)
At this point in the battle, victory and defeat are already self-evident.
The soldiers at the head of the city, their bloodstained cheeks were full of pride, their hands holding the bow and crossbow were like holding the right arm of the god of victory, and their eyes had the strength and self-confidence that only the Tang Dynasty soldiers have! After seeing this scene through the gradually rising morning light in the east, he raised the weapons in his hands and used their arrogance to announce another victory of the Datang soldiers: "Datang Wansheng!" Wansheng! Win by all! ”
The shouts of the Tang soldiers full of pride and excitement resounded in the earth and sky, and the rising sun was also overshadowed.
After this retreat, the Goguryeo people seemed to have reached their limit, and the ranks were repairing outside of Rich, but seeing the chaotic procession seemed to express to us that they had lost the courage to win.
The sun finally jumped out of the ground, and Pei Xingjian's iron cavalry had already rushed to the south gate safely and returned to the city. Su Dingfang and I glanced at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the open ground under the city wall was full of countless arrows, and the mess caused by the attackers and defenders last night was still under the city, and there were still some wounded people who had not yet died crying and moaning on the ground.
"General! Over there! Another Goguryeo man rushed here. A scout who was standing on the roof of the tower with a telescope and observing the enemy shouted.
I picked up my binoculars and looked into the distance, and sure enough, a group of Goguryeo cavalry of about 1,000 men was slowly moving towards us.
"Tell everyone, don't fire yet, they don't look like they want to attack the city with cavalry, let's see what they want to do first." I raised my hand and shouted to the herald on the side, who immediately raised the flag in his hand and waved it, and soon carried the news to all parts of the city wall. At this time, the enemy cavalry was less than 500 meters away from the west gate of the city, and I could even see with the naked eye the banner in the hand of the cavalry: "Spring"
"Could it be that the old boy of Quangai Suwen can't come in person?" Su Dingfang said in disbelief.
---------------------------------------------------- "It's possible, if we continue like this now, it would be good if there were only 10,000 or 20,000 of the 70,000 or 80,000 people." "I poked my head out of the women's wall, and there were at least several thousand corpses under the city wall, it seems that Quangai Suwen wanted to come to engage in a literary fight.
At this time, the thousand Goguryeo cavalry finally stopped under the city walls. The first person crossed the crowd, followed only a few dozen horsemen, and reached two hundred paces below the city. "The old man Goguryeo Mo is out of the branch, and the big pair of Lu Quan Gai Suwen is here, which general of the Tang Dynasty is in the city?" A mighty old man with a black beard rode on a black horse, with two steel knives stuck in his waist, eagle eyes and an arrogant expression. It is the pride of the heart that has been located in the person of the elder for a long time.
Before I could speak, Su Dingfang jumped out upside down, "I, General Xuanwei of the Tang Dynasty and Bofangjun of Pingliao County, are here, and I have been waiting for Lord Quan for a long time." He turned back and squeezed his eyes at me: "Brother, you are the director, what are you doing for your brother." ”
I was speechless, threw an eye dart to him, and stood in front of the female wall: "Lord Quan, there is a strong city blocking the road in front, and there is a 100,000 tiger army under the personal command of His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, now, I am afraid that the army of the adults is in turmoil, if it is early to descend, maybe my Majesty of the Tang Dynasty can leave some seeds for your Quan family to pay tribute to the ancestors." ”
"Hahaha! The old man has led hundreds of officials in Goguryeo, in charge of the government for more than ten years, conscientious, to the Tang Dynasty, is also respectful, but you Tang Dynasty has risen an unrighteous teacher and cut down my Goguryeo, the country of the world, all wait and see the fate of my Goguryeo, if the general is sensible, let me Goguryeo capital, leave me Goguryeo's Sheji, I Goguryeo Yuan Yongfu Tang Dynasty, the north of the Yalu water, all of them are included in the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that the general will read in the heavens for the sake of having a good life, leaving me Goguryeo a way to live. If this is the case, Quan is willing to bind himself and follow the general to His Majesty's place in the Heavenly Empire, kill and chop at will, and listen to the respect. "Isn't Quangai Suwen crazy to say these things.
"Lord Quan, in the end, I will get the edict of my Majesty, so that I will defend it according to the back of the city, Lord Quan's meaning, please allow this general to present the news to Your Majesty before speaking, think about it right now, my Majesty the Tang Emperor is afraid that he is on the way here, Lord Quan is still camped alive, wait for my Majesty." Hehe, General Shuben won't send you anymore. I sneered, for this old guy, I don't have any energy to grind my mouth, the ghost has the strength to grind with this old thing that is now finished, Quangai Suwen roared a few more times below, and my son dragged Su Dingfang to eat breakfast in the city gate building, Quangai Suwen seemed to have expected this ending, and without saying a word, he pulled his thousand guards back to the army station, and slowly retreated to the west.
"Isn't it? The old boy wants to slip away? Su Dingfang took a bite of the cake and muttered to herself. I also had food in my mouth: "If he slips or not, we won't go out, anyway, after two or three days, I can't help him not come down." ”
Within two or three days, the next night, a messenger sent by Uncle Li rushed to the capital of Goguryeo.
"Down?!" I jumped up, took the edict of Uncle Li handed by the messenger and looked at it, and sure enough, it fell, and Uncle Li didn't say it clearly, but let us guard the capital of Goguryeo, and then we would send a large army, and he, His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, would personally come to the capital of Goguryeo to take a look after a few days, and by the way, I had to deal with various follow-up matters.
The next day, the 5,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry escorted a group of Goguryeo officials towards the capital, and the leader turned out to be Uncle Li Jing. Among the Goguryeo officials who were in custody was the new king of Goguryeo, Gozang.
Zhang Liang and Zhang led the team to greet him: "Zhang has seen the general. ”
"Hahaha! That's it, don't put so many false salutes in front of the children, the old man is just to stand in front for His Majesty, escorting the lord of Goguryeo and these courtiers back to the capital......" The corners of Li Jing's mouth crooked, and he glanced at the group of dejected Goguryeo officials. "After two days, Your Majesty will come to accept the surrender of the whole country to Goguryeo, Your Majesty has sent the good news back to Chang'an, I believe that now, the whole country is jubilant, you boys, but you are in the limelight." Uncle Li Jing jumped off the horse, and one by one he threw a punch on his shoulder, happily and happily accepting the praise of this respected Tang Dynasty military god.
I saw Goguryeo, the young lord of Goguryeo who was supported by Quangai Suwen, Gaozang, a timid and cowardly little white face, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, "Just this kind of person, cut, doesn't smell like a man at all, like a rabbit master, no wonder Quangai Suwen's old man chose him to be the lord of the country, and he didn't dare to say anything if the old guy squatted in front of him and fart." Zhang Liang, the old horseman, spoke so directly that he heard a few of us young people frowning and laughing.
is called an escort, but in fact it is also a detention, to transfer this poor man who is about to destroy the country and return to Chang'an with my Tang army, and be a carefree prince who eats, drinks, and has fun, and does not care about anything, perhaps for him, it is far more comfortable than letting a tyrannical minister like Quangai Suwen ride on his head and.
---------------------------------------------------- the lord of Goguryeo naturally let him go back to live in the palace, but his guards and the surrounding guards were naturally replaced by people from our Tang Dynasty, and a full 2,000 people surrounded the residence of the lord of Goguryeo, and there was also a master of Ouchi specially sent by Uncle Li to his side to monitor his every move at all times, no matter what, It will never make him think about suicide or self-harm. Let him live alive until the surrender ceremony is held and escorted back to Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, I saw the prosperity of Chang'an, no one suppressed it above my head, and I believe that he would not be willing to give him a chance to die when the time comes.
Uncle Li Jing settled everything before he talked to us about the events at that time, that is, on the night of our occupation of the capital of Goguryeo, Uncle Li had already received the news from the intelligence officers we sent, and Uncle Li was so happy that Uncle Li was crazy with joy, and Uncle Li, who almost lost his mind, shouted vigorously to force the Sashui River and clean up these ignorant villains in Goguryeo, but fortunately, he was persuaded by the generals and ministers, so that although he got information, the enemy's camp did not move for the time being, if our army crossed the river now, On the contrary, he lost the advantage of being flanked on both sides, which only increased the casualties, and Uncle Li followed your advice and stood still for the time being.
According to our situation at that time, they repeatedly asked the intelligence officers about the situation on our side, as well as the morale of the soldiers, the reaction of the Goguryeo people, what the strength of the troops in the city was, and how we won this battle.
