When the imperial court sent envoys to the Tang army camp to sue for peace, the news had spread all over the capital, and the people of the capital knew the news, they felt a little humiliated, but also felt some expectations, expecting that the Tang Dynasty would retreat, since the Tang Dynasty was to rescue Silla, and now the imperial army's army has withdrawn from Silla, then the Tang army should naturally retreat, but no one expected that the news that came was that the Tang Dynasty wanted to invade Liaodong, and also wanted to continue to march into the army, how could this be reasonable! It's too much of a deception! The crowd was indignant, the people of the capital talked about it, and they were extremely indignant at the Tang army's pressing step by step, and they were also very unconvinced, although the Tang army captured Liaodong, but with such a siege weapon as artillery, it was about to fight in the field, and the Tang army's combat effectiveness was uncertain. They still have the 200,000 troops who went out to Silla, there is no siege weapon like artillery, the same attack is invincible, Yuangai Suwen is a general with both civil and military skills, and when the army returns, it will definitely be able to beat the Tang army to the ground, and the army will march in a row, although the army withdrew from Silla, it is considered a futile, but the morale is strong, because since the attack on Silla, they have never been defeated, even if they know that the Tang army has captured Liaodong, even if they are tired of marching non-stop, they are still full of morale.

"Dashuai, there are still fifty miles from the capital, and we will be able to reach the capital tomorrow!"

The general next to him said happily.

"I don't know where the Tang Army is fighting now!"

"Yes, yes, I really want to fight with the Tang Army as soon as possible, defeat the Tang Army as soon as possible, and recover Liaodong as soon as possible, so that the people can suffer less!"

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"The Tang Emperor is the hero who swept the world, Wen Taowu is extraordinary, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin and others are even more first-class famous generals, although they are old, but they should not be underestimated! Although the artillery is shining brightly, the Tang army is invincible, but the combat power of the Tang army should not be weak! ”

The general next to him smiled.

"The Tang Emperor was indeed the hero of the world, but he was still a little sharp after many years of pampering? Those generals of the Tang Dynasty are already old? How much bravery is left? Otherwise, it would not have relied on artillery. ”

"That's it, even if the generals of the Tang Dynasty still have some bravery, so what? The handsome man is both civil and military, strategizing, and with the handsome, we must be invincible and beat the Tang army to the ground! ”

Yuan Gai Su Wen believed in the reins and said in a deep voice.

"This time against the Tang Dynasty, I may not be able to lead the troops!"

The generals were all stunned when they heard this.

"If the marshal doesn't lead the troops, then who is still qualified to lead the troops?"

"That is, the marshal is strategizing to win a thousand miles, why don't you let the marshal lead the troops?"

"In addition to the commander, who else is worthy of leading the troops?"

"Except for the big handsome, none of us are convinced!"

"Dashuai, why is this?"

Yuangai Suwen let out a long sigh and sighed.

"Speaking of which, I also misunderstood the adulterer! At the beginning, I was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, got acquainted with Li Yong, and was introduced by Li Yong as a close friend, at that time I only felt that Li Yong was open-minded and a friendly person, who would have thought that this person was insidious and cunning, I was also deceived by him, I felt that this was a great opportunity, so I tried my best to persuade the king to attack Silla, but I didn't expect to fall into the plan of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers encouraged me to attack Silla, just to plot against Liaodong, which is all my sin! And what face do I have to lead the army? ”

The generals were not surprised by this, on the one hand, Yuan Gai Suwen had revealed it before, and on the other hand, everyone could guess some of them.

"Why should the marshal blame himself, this is a trap set by the Tang monarchs, they have been plotting for a long time, even if the marshal does not have a plan, the Tang army will send troops! Therefore, the marshal should not blame himself, but cheer up and lead the army to defeat the Tang army, so as to prove his innocence and make meritorious deeds! ”

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"Don't say it if you don't make meritorious contributions, since I know that I fell for Li Yong's tricks, the only thing I want is to defeat the Tang Army and take revenge! What a pity! I'm just afraid I won't have this opportunity! ”

The general next to him asked suspiciously.

"Dashuai, why don't you have this opportunity?"

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that the king and the ministers in the court have become suspicious of me, and suspect that I have taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty in private, so how can I be allowed to lead the army? It's just that I am loyal to the king and Goguryeo, and I have no two hearts! ”

The generals next to him said in unison.

"The last general and others believe in the marshal, the last general and others were originally the marshal's guarantor, and the last general and others only serve the marshal to lead the troops!"

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"It stands to reason that I should indeed avoid suspicion, but the Tang Army is menacing, and this battle is related to the life and death of our Goguryeo, if I don't come to the battlefield in person, I really don't feel at ease!"

The generals next to him also nodded.

"Yes, Wen Taowu strategy, no one in the world can match the big handsome, only the big marshal leads the troops, and this battle can be sure of victory!"

"Yes, Dashuai, the candidate for this leader is none other than Dashuai, and when he returns to the capital, the last general will definitely write a letter to ask for his life!"

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice.

"Then thank you very much, after returning to the capital, I will also explain the details to the king, hoping that the king can distinguish between right and wrong! Even if I am asked to be a deputy general and go out with the army, then I will be satisfied. ”

"The marshal should be the commander-in-chief, how can he be a deputy general?"

The generals said one after another, and Yuan Gai Suwen raised his hand and said.

"Maybe it's just that I'm worried about the sky, I don't want to be greedy, not for fame, I just want to relieve the people from fire and water!"

The army marched all the way to the capital, and the news of the capital was spreading rapidly, and everyone who heard the news was talking about it, and the scouts of the army had already obtained it.

"Report, Enlighten the marshal, the lowly detective heard some news......"

When the generals heard this, they immediately raised their spirits, but they didn't get any news from the rush to march along the way, and they didn't know how the war was going now, Yuangai Suwen was also very concerned and shouted.

"What are you doing? What news did you hear, don't you say it quickly? ”

"Marshal Qiyu, the king sent envoys to the Tang army camp to sue for peace, and the Tang Rongfu County Duke proposed to let me cede Liaodong, so he retreated and turned the war into a jade silk!"

As soon as the scout's voice fell, the generals immediately blew up and begged for peace? And is it still to cede Liaodong to seek peace? Disgrace! It's a shame! As military generals, they feel even more ashamed!

"Arrogance!"

"How can it be!"

"It's so deceitful!"

"Still want to invade Liaodong? When our army of 200,000 does not exist? ”

"Dashuai, let's kill Liaodong, kill Tang Jun personally on his back, and kill Tang Jun in a falling stream! Let them know how powerful our Goguryeo is! ”

A group of generals clamored one after another, they all thought that Li Shimin and Li Yong really had a big appetite, but they forgot that Goguryeo still had his Yuan Gai Suwen! With him Yuan Gai Suwen here, he wants to invade Liaodong? It's really wishful thinking, Yuan Gai Suwen asked.

"Has the king agreed to cede Liaodong? This is absolutely unacceptable! If there is no Liaodong, then our Goguryeo will have no danger to defend! ”

Scout said.

"Hurriedly said, the king did not agree to cede Liaodong, but decided to fight to the death!"

Yuangai Suwen listened impassionedly.

"Okay, it's time to fight to the death, what news did you hear?"

The scout hesitated.

"And, there'......"

Yuangai Suwen frowned and asked.

"What else? Tell me, what are you doing? ”

"The Duke of Tang Rongfu once exonerated the marshal in front of the envoys!"

The scout replied, and the surrounding generals were stunned when they heard it, Li Yong actually excused the marshal? Why is that? Could it be that Li Yong and Dashuai are really close friends? Yuangai Suwen's heart jumped when he heard this, and he was furious in his heart, Li Yong's move was to exonerate him, he clearly wanted to frame him and divide him, he didn't want the king and his ministers to suspect him, prevent him from leading the army, and even wanted to kill him!

"Li Yong is really insidious and cunning!"

Yuangai Suwen said angrily.

"Dashuai, the prince of Rongfu County actually exonerated Dashuai, this, this ......"

The general next to him hesitated.

"Idiot! This is Li Yong playing conspiracy and sowing discord! He was afraid that I would lead the troops, so he deliberately excused me in front of the envoys, that is, to make the king and the ministers doubt me, this battle is related to the life and death of our Goguryeo, if the king and the ministers are suspicious of me, for the sake of safety, how can they let me lead the troops? ”

Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice, when the generals heard it, they felt that what the marshal said was also reasonable, maybe Li Yong really wanted to sow discord by doing this.

"This Li Yong is really despicable and shameless! I actually want to frame Dashuai! ”

"Yes, it's so shameless, if you have the courage to compete with the big handsome on the battlefield, try some intrigue to calculate that you are a hero?"

"In my opinion! This Li Yong and the Tang Emperor were afraid of the marshal, and knew that the marshal's art of war was unparalleled in the world, so they used such despicable means. ”

Yuangai Suwen couldn't help but nod when he heard it, although he scolded Li Yong for being despicable and shameless, but he didn't really think that Li Yong was shameless, after all, this anti-plot was written in the war, the two armies were at war with each other, and the two countries were at war, doing everything they could, what was the calculation of the counter-plot? For Li Yong's counter-plan, he is faintly admired in his heart, Li Yong is really a good means, of course, he is more angry and aggrieved in his heart, originally he wanted to return to the capital, just like the king and the ministers explained clearly, plus he has a very high prestige among the soldiers of the three armies, so he still has great confidence in his heart, can persuade the king and the ministers, let him take command and lead the troops again, as long as he can lead the troops, then he has the confidence to defeat the Tang army, not only can defeat the Tang army, maybe he can also capture the Tang Emperor and a number of Tang generals! Of course, it also includes Li Yong, his biggest dream is to capture Li Yong alive, and if he captures Li Yong alive, he can make Li Yong wine, let Li Yong make glass mirrors, and let Li Yong make artillery. However, he was scolded by Li Yong again, can he continue to lead the troops? For a while, even Yuan Gai Suwen had no bottom in his heart, the army had not yet arrived in the capital, and the news of the army's return had already reached the capital, the news was flying all over the sky in the past few days, the Tang army marched again, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, the attack was invincible, and the cities were lost, so that the people of the capital were all panicked, according to the speed of the Tang army's siege, maybe it would not be long before the capital would be attacked, the people of the original capital still felt that the war was far away from them, but they didn't expect the Tang army to attack the city all the way so fast, Liaodong could not hold it, The defenders of each city can't hold it at all, and I'm afraid that this capital can't hold it either! Now that they heard the news of the return of the army, they felt a lot more relieved, this is the most elite army of the imperial court, and the defense of the city may not be able to resist the artillery of the Tang Dynasty, but if it is a field battle, it will not be lost to the Tang army, and the army will return, so there is no need to be afraid of the Tang army coming, see how the Tang army is still rampant, in the palace, Gao Jianwu can't help but feel happy when he hears that the army is about to return, and the pressure in his heart these days can be imagined.

"It is rumored that Gao Yanshou and Gao Hui really enter the palace to see the lonely! Passing on the will of Lone, he ordered the army to be stationed thirty miles away from the city, and ordered the lord to enter the palace of Yuangai Suwen. ”

Gao Yanshou has been claustrophobic in the house, as time goes by day and his heart is getting more and more worried, now when he hears the king's summons, he can't help but feel happy in his heart, and hurriedly enters the palace, he met Gao Huizhen on the way, the two looked at each other and smiled, how could they not know about the ups and downs in the city these days? Now that the army is about to return, it is conceivable what the king summoned them for.

"The minister Gao prolongs his life, see the king!"

"Chen Gao Hui really sees the king!"

"Two lovers, excuse me!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice, Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou hurriedly got up, stood respectfully, and looked like they were waiting for orders, Gao Jianwu slowly paced with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice.

"Gao Yanshou, although you lost Liaodong, it is because the artillery siege of Datang is really powerful."

Gao Yanshou hurriedly said.

"It's the minister who is guilty, the minister is willing to be the pawn of the army, I only hope to die on the battlefield, and kill a few more Tang people before dying to make up for the minister's guilt!"

After listening to Gao Yanshou's words, Gao Jianwu ironed a lot in his heart, and bowed slightly.

"Aiqing is loyal and patriotic, and the lonely heart is very comforting!"

Gao Yanshou hurriedly said.

"Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, this is the duty of a minister!"

It would be great if Yuangai Suwen was also so loyal, Gao Jianwu sighed with emotion.

"Now that you know that Datang's artillery is powerful, you can't hold the city, and Liaodong was suddenly attacked by Datang's artillery, which is indeed not your culpability! And you know the Tang Army best, so I want you to take command of the expedition and make meritorious contributions! ”

Gao Yanshou was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"The ministers will do their best to repay the king!"

Gao Jianwu bowed slightly, turned his head to look at Gao Huizhen, and said in a deep voice.

"Gao Huizhen, you are the deputy marshal, you two must work together to defeat the Tang army, and the burden of our Goguryeo's life and death will fall on you!"

Gao Huizhen was also overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Please rest assured, if you don't defeat the Tang army, the minister will never return to the court!"

Gao Jianwu said with a smile.

"Lone still has to prepare a banquet in the palace, and wait for the two Aiqing to drink the celebration wine together!"
