Chapter 559: Confusing
Liaodong City has returned to calm, because the Tang cavalry outside the city has retreated, and the soldiers on the city wall have also relaxed, although they know that the Tang army will attack sooner or later, but it has not come yet, and it is a while to be able to hide!
"It seems that Tang Jun is really trying to lure us out of the city! Otherwise, it wouldn't have retreated so quickly. ”
"Yes, yes, they all say that this Tang Emperor is so powerful, but it's not really good!"
"It's the Tang Emperor who underestimates us too much! He didn't want to think about it, our ancestors had blocked the million-strong army of the former Sui! ”
"Hey, look, there's cavalry coming!"
"Where, where, is the Tang army attacking again?"
"Look, where are they, only two horses!"
"There are only two horsemen, it can't be the Tang Army, no wonder Jian'an City sent cavalry for help, right? Could it be that Jian'an City can't resist it so quickly? ”
"It's coming, hey, look at how this outfit looks like a Tang Dynasty!"
"Could it be that the comrades of Jian'an City changed into the costumes of the Tang Dynasty to break through and mix up?"
"It's not impossible!"
"Do you want to ring the alarm bells?"
"Don't you? It's only two rides, where is it worth ringing the alarm bell? Is it possible to attack the city? ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, and one person could drown them with a mouthful of spit, and while everyone was talking, the two horsemen had already come to the city wall.
"Listen, the people on the city wall, we are the imperial guards of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and we have been ordered by the emperor to give a generous gift to the northern Weisa Gao Yanshou!"
Everyone on the city wall was already stunned, these two people under the city were really Tang people, and they also sent a generous gift to Lord Weisa? What's going on? How can there be a feeling that a weasel is giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, no, no, how can they be a chicken?
"Wait, wait for us to get back!"
Although the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty outside the city has retreated, the mood of the generals has not completely calmed down, because these cavalry of the Tang Dynasty came strangely and walked strangely, and they always felt like they had come and gone back.
"Report, Lord Weisa, there are two Tang people from outside the city, saying that the Tang Emperor has sent a generous gift to Lord Weisa!"
The generals couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say for a while, but Gao Yanshou laughed calmly and said with a smile.
"It seems that this Tang Emperor is also poor in donkey skills, and he even wants to give me some heavy gifts, it's really funny, my Gao family is favored by the king, how can I be bought? I'm curious, what does the Tang Emperor want to buy me? Is the throne of the Tang Dynasty? Then I might as well consider it! ”
The generals were relieved when they heard this, just now they thought that Lord Weisa and Datang had some secret connection, but it turned out that there was not, and the generals who were relieved couldn't help laughing.
"It's extreme, if the Tang Emperor buys it with the throne, then Lord Weisa will obey them!"
"That's it, that's it, from now on, Datang will be our Goguryeo territory!"
"Lord Weisa, do you want to let those two Tang people in?"
Gao Yanshou got up and paced, and groaned.
"I'm afraid that what heavy gifts those two Datang people give is fake, but what kind of conspiracy they want to play, so don't open the city gate and let them in, as for their emperor's so-called heavy gifts, then put a rattan basket down, pull the heavy gifts up, let's open our eyes and see what the Tang Emperor can send!"
In fact, Gao Yanshou really coveted the so-called heavy gifts of the Tang Dynasty, and the gifts that the Tang Emperor could give must be very precious! It's a pity that the person who reported it said it in front of a group of generals, but it made it difficult for him to put it away in private, so he could only see what the heavy salute was, although the generals felt that there was nothing to guard against with just two Tang cavalry, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious.
"What Lord Ursa said is that he will be commanded!"
The people on the city wall are also talking about it, I don't know what kind of famous Tang Emperor is doing, and I don't know what the heavy gift is.
"Listen to the Tang people in the city, our Lord Weisa said, put the heavy gift of your Tang Emperor in the rattan basket, as for you, it is inconvenient for us Lord Weisa to see you, so you can go back and forth from where you are!"
The two imperial guards under the city wall were a little confused, since it was inconvenient to see them, how could it be convenient to receive heavy gifts? This is obviously not daring to open the city gate! Weisa is the governor of Goguryeo, the dignified governor of Goguryeo, this is really cowardly, but as long as the heavy gift is delivered, it is fine, and you don't have to go to see the Goguryeo Governor.
"Well, then we will put the heavy gift in the rattan basket, and please make a special trip to you Weisa!"
The guards shouted loudly, in fact, they were not worried, after all, so many people on the city wall heard it, and no one dared to hide the heavy gift privately, not to mention, this is not a heavy gift, but two heads, who will hide it privately? The two guards put the wooden box on the rattan basket, watched the rattan basket pull it up, and then drove the horse away with confidence, the soldiers on the city wall took out the wooden box, and hurriedly sent it to the Weisa Mansion, all the generals have not left, everyone is very curious, what is the so-called heavy gift of the Tang Emperor? The soldiers on the Weisa Mansion held up the two wooden boxes, and the eyes of the generals all fell on the wooden boxes, Gao Yanshou's eyes couldn't help but light up, this wooden box is precious and extraordinary at a glance, and the gifts in the wooden box must be even more extraordinary.
"Why don't you open it quickly and see what is inside, the dignified Tang Emperor, it can't be a little childish, right? If it is a treasure, it is just for the king! ”
Gao Yanshou said with a smile, the soldiers hurriedly opened the wooden box after hearing this, and before they could fully open the wooden box, they smelled a smell of blood, and suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, the wooden box was opened, and there were two human heads inside.
"It's a human head!"
"It's the first level!"
"Whose head is it?"
"Whose head?"
The generals couldn't help but exclaim, they always thought that the wooden box was really a heavy gift, it was a treasure sent by the Tang Emperor, and they wanted to buy Lord Weisa, but they didn't expect that there were two heads in the wooden box, Gao Yanshou was also taken aback, it was really too big a gap from what he expected.
"It's two heads! Is this the trick of the Tang Emperor? Do you think you can scare us with just two heads? It's funny, let's see whose head this is. ”
Gao Yanshou said with a smile.
Gao Yanshou and the generals couldn't see clearly whose head this was, but the two pro-soldiers holding the head could see it clearly, so their faces suddenly became extremely pale, and Gao Yanshou clearly saw that the hands of the two pro-soldiers holding the wooden box were trembling, obviously frightened. His own soldiers have all been involved in human life, and it is impossible for him to be frightened and tremble by two human heads, so Gao Yanshou couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and he had a bad thought in his heart, and asked loudly.
"Whose head is in the wooden box, say it quickly!"
"If you go back to Lord Weisa, it seems that it is the head of Song Jianjun and General Li of Gaimu City!"
The pro-soldiers trembled and said, they followed Lord Weisa, and naturally saw Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, so they recognized it at a glance, this is the head of Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, but they have some doubts, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong are the guards of Jian'an City and Gaimu City, how could they be killed by the Tang Dynasty? Unless Jian'an City and Gaimu City have been broken by the Tang Army, how could Jian'an City and Gaimu City be breached in such a short period of time? So the two pro-soldiers recognized it at a glance, but they felt incredulous, wondering if they were wrong, and even the pro-soldiers who saw the head clearly with their own eyes felt incredulous, not to mention Gao Yanshou and the generals who heard the news, Gao Yanshou shouted.
"Blind your dogs! How could it be their head, they are still guarding the city! ”
The two soldiers took the head out of the wooden box, hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised the head high, and said tremblingly.
"Lord Sosa, please look!"
Gao Yanshou and the generals suddenly focused on the two heads, their eyes were all fixed, they were all generals guarding Liaodong, they were naturally familiar with Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, so they immediately recognized this head as soon as they saw it, this is clearly the head of Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, the whole hall is very quiet and can be heard, only the sound of everyone's heavy breathing, at this moment, everyone is thinking about a question, why Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong's heads fell into the hands of Tang Jun, Could it be that both Jian'an City and Gaimu City were broken by the Tang Army? However, it was only seven or eight days before the Tang army marched to the vicinity of Jian'an City, how could it be possible to capture Jian'an City and Gaimu City in these seven or eight days? In these seven or eight days, apart from the whole army and the march, how can there be time to attack the city? Unless the gates of Jian'an City and Gaimu City are wide open, how could the Tang army break through the two cities? Gao Yanshou's face was gloomy, and he took a few steps forward quickly, staring at the two heads, and said in a deep voice.
"It's really the head of Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, it really is, what happened?"
"Lord Weiza, Jian'an City and Gaimu City, should it not, should it not ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yanshou had already shouted.
"Impossible! Jian'an City and Gaimu City are impregnable, how could they be broken by the Tang Army? You calculate the time, but it takes seven or eight days, and the Tang army marches for a long time, and when it comes to Jian'an City, it always has to rest for two days, right? Do your own calculations, will the Tang army still have time to break through the city? And it is still two cities in a row, unless, the defenders of Jian'an City and Gaimu City will fall to the wind, but I, the Goguryeo people and the Central Plains people, have always been incompatible, how can they fall from the wind? Moreover, if Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong really surrendered, how could they be killed by the Tang Emperor? ”
Gao Yanshou said very loudly, as if he was convincing the generals, and as if he was convincing himself, and the eyes of the generals also flashed with thoughtful looks, and someone couldn't help asking.
"What does Lord Weisa mean is that Jian'an City and Gaimu City were not broken by the Tang Army?"
Gao Yanshou nodded slightly.
"I don't think it is possible for Jian'an City and Gaimu City to be breached so quickly!"
Some generals couldn't help but ask.
"However, if Jian'an City and Gaimu City were not breached, then how could Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong be killed by the Tang army?"
Gao Yanshou paced with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
"Have you forgotten what happened today? The cavalry of the Tang army attacked outside the city, which led us to send troops out of the city, so there is only one truth, that is, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong were greedy for merit, fell into the tricks of the Tang Emperor, led the troops to the field battle, and fell into the ambush of the Tang army, so that they were captured and killed by the Tang army. ”
The generals couldn't help but nod when they heard this, there was indeed this possibility, or this was the greatest possibility, they didn't believe that the Tang Army could break through the two cities in such a short time, and the generals couldn't help but scold.
"These two bastards, the king's will to strictly guard the city, Lord Weisa even ordered that they should not go out of the city to fight, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, the two bastards, actually disregarded the will and the orders of Lord Weisa, they died and did not fight tightly, but they lost their troops and broke their morale, which is really not a son of man."
Gao Yanshou snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Today, the cavalry of the Tang Army appeared outside the city, don't you also want to go out of the city to fight? If you lead the troops out of the city today, hmph, then I will receive more than these two heads today! ”
The generals hurriedly said.
"Lord Cissa is wise, I can't wait!"
If he was in normal times, he was naturally very happy when he heard the praise of the generals, but now, he was in no mood, looking at the heads of Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong, Gao Yanshou was so angry that he shouted.
"These two people ignored the military order, so that they lost the soldiers and the morale of our army, they are really unforgivable, and they are innocent of death, so they threw these two heads to feed the dogs!"
As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, and the generals couldn't bear to hear it, no matter how they said it, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong did not surrender to the Tang army, but fought to the death, but seeing Gao Yanshou's angry appearance, they didn't dare to say anything, and the two pro-soldiers hurriedly walked out with two heads, and a general asked.
"Lord Weisa, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong are both dead, will Jian'an City and Gaimu City be in danger of being lost?"
Gao Yanshou said in a deep voice.
"No, there are not many cavalry in Jian'an City and Gaimu City, Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong will not bring too many soldiers and horses even if they go out of the city to fight, although the main general of the city will die, there is still a deputy general, even if it has an impact on the two cities, it is impossible to be broken in a short time, and there is no trace of the main force of the Tang Army so far, which also shows that Jian'an City and Gaimu City have not been breached, so you don't have to worry."
"That's what Mistress said!"
A group of generals retreated one after another, but they all looked worried, today the Tang Army suddenly sent the heads of Song Ruiyuan and Li Zhitong over, which made everyone uncertain, no one was sure what happened to Jian'an City and Gaimu City, at the beginning of the war, everyone never thought that the situation in Liaodong would suddenly be dangerous to this extent, and now the situation in Liaodong is confusing!
