Gao Yanshou and Gao Hui were really afraid that the emperor would think that the two of them were useless people, so they hurriedly showed that they even revealed their family background, and if they wanted to conquer Goguryeo, they had to get the support of some Goguryeo people, Li Er nodded with a smile.

"Okay, you have a heart, from today on, you are a certain courtier, as long as you make meritorious deeds, you will never hesitate to be rewarded, and you can be a marquis and a duke!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor, and I will never live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

Li Er asked.

"Two generals, where do you think the main force of the defeated army will go? Is it to reorganize the army and fight again? ”

Gao Yanshou groaned.

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know, these generals in the army are very convinced of Yuangai Suwen, this defeat, they must retreat, and then they want to blackmail the king, no, they want to blackmail Gao Jianwu, and re-use Yuangai Suwen as the commander!"

Gao Hui said respectfully.

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, now the defeated army is a group of snakes without a leader, and after the news of the defeat of the army goes out, there must be panic everywhere, and His Majesty the Emperor's army will be able to take advantage of this eastward march to be able to break through and fight all the way to the city of Pyongyang!"

Without a commander, it will be difficult for this defeated army to reorganize and fight again. Li Er bowed slightly.

"I wanted to rest for two days and then continue to advance eastward, but this time I want to hit Pyongyang in one go!"

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others said in unison.

"Wait for the order!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen walked out of the hall with everyone, feeling a little at a loss, and seeing that the person in front of them was Li Yong, they hurriedly bowed down.

"Meet the Lord of Rongfu! The name of the county duke, the lower officials are like thunderous admiration! ”

If you can thunder, you don't need to admire, right? Li Yong smiled slightly.

"For the two generals' names, I am also like thunder!"

Gao Huizhen smiled humbly.

"Where is it, how can the name of the county be compared with the good name of the county? Who in the world does not respect the name of the county prince? Don't hide it from the county prince, we all dream of seeing the dignity of the county prince! ”

Gao Yanshou said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan also collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and treasures in his mansion in Pyongyang City, but Xiaguan is a rough man, and these paintings, antiques, and treasures fall into the hands of Xiaguan, and the jewels are covered with dust! The county prince is the crown of the ancient and modern, and only the county prince is worthy of owning these calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and treasures! After the city of Pyongyang is breached, the lower officials are willing to give all these paintings, antiques, and treasures to the county prince, just like a sword to a hero! ”

Gao Huizhen nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, the family of the lower official is also a big family, since the ancestors have collected a lot of paintings, antiques, treasures, all of them are put on the shelf, so that the treasures are covered with dust, today I saw the heroic posture of the county duke, the lower official suddenly realized, these paintings, antiques, treasures are heaven let the lower official transfer to the county duke, this is the will of heaven!"

These two goods fell to the Tang Dynasty, and they were worried and wanted to take refuge in a backer, which was not unexpected, but to Li Yong's surprise, these two goods actually chose him, Li Yong was really surprised, because he was very young! Although he is a county prince, his qualifications are still too shallow in the face of the Manchu Dynasty bosses, but what Li Yong doesn't know is that he is more famous in Goguryeo, and Li Yong also underestimated himself, although his qualifications are not as good as Cheng Yanjin and other old ministers, but his influence on the emperor is still too much, and more importantly, Li Yong is still young! Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou are incompetent in fighting, but they are very good at drilling camps, and the two of them think that there are only two people who are most worthy of serving the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, one is Li Yong, the prince of Rongfu County, and the other is Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, in the face of Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou's flattering smile, Li Yong is very speechless, Goguryeo's paintings, antiques, treasures? Although Goguryeo is not a land of projectiles, but the poor mountains and bad waters can always be counted, it is not that Li Yong looks down on it, can there be a fart painting, antiques, and treasures in this bitter cold land? I'm not a rag, Li Yong couldn't bear to roll his eyes, and said with a smile.

"That's not necessary, thank you for your kindness, you should keep these antique calligraphy and paintings for yourself! I also know that when you return to the Tang Dynasty, you will inevitably have some apprehension in your heart, but as long as you are loyal and make meritorious deeds, the saints will definitely reward you generously, so let's think about how to make more meritorious deeds! ”

Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou were shocked when they heard this, why didn't they accept it? This is the accumulation of several generations of them, what a fortune! Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, the county is a lesson!"

Li Yong took two steps forward and patted Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen on the shoulders in turn, and said with a smile.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

Being slapped by Li Yong like this, Gao Yanshou and Gao Hui really felt that their bones were crispy, and their hearts were excited, does this mean that the Rongfu County Duke accepted them?

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the lower officials will do their best!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen hurriedly said, after Li Yong left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and came to return to Datang today, not only escaped the death penalty, but also stood firm, and it can be regarded as embarking on a broad road.

"It's really a wise move to take the risk of returning to Datang today! Everything was as we expected! ”

Gao Yanshou said happily, and Gao Huizhen also nodded happily.

"Yes, yes, not only escaped punishment, but also gained a firm foothold in Datang, this move is wonderful!"

Gao Yanshou groaned.

"Next, our brothers have to work together to help the Tang Emperor capture Pyongyang City, and only by making meritorious deeds can we have glory and wealth!"

Gao Huizhen nodded.

"Of course, as long as we make meritorious deeds and climb the big tree of Rongfu Jungong, we will be rich and worry-free in the future! It's just that the county prince doesn't accept our contributions, which makes me a little worried! ”

Gao Yanshou said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we're just making empty promises, of course the county prince will refuse! When Pyongyang City is captured and those treasures and antiques are sent to the residence of the county lord, can the county lord still recognize it? ”

That's right, I haven't heard that there are still gifts that can't be given, Gao Hui nodded reassuringly.

"What the old man said is reasonable, but what does the word "come on" mean before the county prince leaves today?"

Gao Yanshou was also very puzzled.

"The county prince has a brilliant demeanor, it's normal that we can't understand it, I think it's just to encourage you and me!"

The two rested under the arranged tent, and at the same time pondered together, how to make meritorious contributions next, and who they could persuade to surrender. The defeated army marched all the way to the east, the dragons were leaderless, the morale was low, when they came, they were high-spirited, and when they went, they were depressed, and the people along the way could see it even if they didn't ask, this was clearly a lost battle! Hundreds of thousands of troops, how quickly they were defeated? For a while, people were panicked, who would have thought that the Tang army would be so strong, when Liaodong fell, they had also panicked, but they were not so panicked, because they knew that their most elite soldiers and horses in Goguryeo were fighting in Silla, and when the soldiers and horses returned to the division, they would definitely be able to repel the Tang army, however, now that the army has returned to the division, they saw with their own eyes the mighty and majestic army marching into the city of black bones, they were overjoyed, and felt that the Tang army was finally going to be repulsed, however, before their excitement calmed down, But I saw that the soldiers of the army came back in frustration and abandoned their armor, and even the most elite army was defeated, and it was defeated so quickly, who else could defeat the Tang army? Is there any salvation in Goguryeo? From hope to despair, this feeling is unacceptable to many people, fleeing? Where are you going to flee? The most confused are the generals who defend the city, they were stunned and panicked when they heard the news, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, how could they defend the city? Who can keep it? Pyongyang City is still a prosperous scene, in the palace, Gao Jianwu ignored the piles of music on the case, and now he only cares about one thing in his heart, that is, the war in the city of black bones.

"Is there a military report coming?"

Gao Jianwu asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, there is no military report for the time being!"

Gao Jianwu felt both relieved and a little disappointed when he heard this, and then said excitedly.

"Also, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, and it is not possible to win this battle overnight, but Gao Yanshou's radical general method is used well, as long as the Tang Emperor leads his troops out of the city to fight, he will be able to defeat the Tang army!"

"What the king said is that General Gao is resourceful, the soldiers are brave and fearless, and the most important thing is that the king knows people and is good at his duties, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army, and maybe, he can capture the Tang Emperor alive!"

Inner service flattery.

"The Tang Emperor must be supported by elite soldiers and fierce generals, if you want to capture the Tang Emperor alive, it is difficult!"

Gao Jianwu shook his head and said.

"The Tang Emperor is alone, it's not so easy to escape, the old slave thinks that he will definitely be able to capture the Tang Emperor alive!"

The old slave laughed, and Gao Jianwu laughed.

"If anyone really captures the Tang Emperor alive, what if he is named the king of the county?"

If the Tang Emperor is captured alive, it is not a matter of whether the Tang army retreats or not, the west can annex the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the east can annex Silla, and then work hard for ten years, and even return to the Central Plains, creating a foundation that has never been seen before or after, and there are attendants who hurriedly ran into the main hall, and the chaotic and dense footsteps interrupted Gao Jianwu's imagination.

"Why are you so flustered? What kind of system has it become, have you forgotten the rules in the palace? ”

Gao Jianwu said unhappily, and the little waiter knelt on the ground with a puff, and said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a military report that the army, the army, the army, have been defeated......"

Gao Jianwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, as if he had heard it wrong, and asked in a daze.

"You, what did you say?"

The little chamberlain said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the army, the army, defeated!"

"Defeated, defeated?"

Gao Jianwu asked in a daze.

"Where did the army lose?"

The little chamberlain is stunned, where is the army? Where else can there be an army?

"King Qiqi is the army led by General Gao Yanshou!"

The little chamberlain trembled, the last trace of illusion was also shattered, Gao Jianwu only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he took two steps back and almost fainted to the ground, and the chamberlain next to him was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Gao Jianwu and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Gao Jianwu muttered.

"Defeated? How could it be defeated? How can you lose? The Tang army has already gone out of the city to fight, how can it be defeated without the threat of artillery? ”

"What about high longevity? What about Gao Huizhen? Where are they? ”

Two hundred and fifty thousand elite soldiers! Fighting the Tang army of more than 100,000, and it was still a field battle, the Tang army lost the benefit of artillery, and was defeated, when Gao Jianwu talked about Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, he simply gritted his teeth, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and the little servant was terrified.

"This slave doesn't know either!"

"What about the war report? Where is the battle report? ”

Gao Jianwu asked, the little chamberlain hurriedly submitted the battle report tremblingly, Gao Jianwu took the battle report and looked carefully, his face was extremely gloomy, his brows were twisted like a rope, the Tang army's musket was sharp, and the right wing was defeated in a battle? Commander Gao Yanshou is ineffective in command? Commander Gao Yanshou and Deputy Marshal Gao Huizhen abandoned the army and fled? Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's whereabouts are unknown? Suspected of abandoning the army and returning to the royal capital? After reading the military report, Gao Jianwu almost vomited blood in anger, and sighed hatefully.

"Gao Yanshou mistook me! Gao Yanshou mistook me! Poor lonely army of hundreds of thousands! What was supposed to be a battle to win has come to such a situation! Shame on your fathers and fathers! Spread Gu's will, if Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are encountered in various places, they will be taken down and escorted to the palace immediately, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in Gu's heart if they are not killed! ”

"Yes, yes, the old slave will let people pass the decree, and ask the king to take care of his health, at this time of crisis, he wants the king to preside over the overall situation and turn the tide!"

The chamberlain worried.

"Quickly convene the ministers to discuss the matter!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice, the atmosphere in the palace was originally quite relaxed, but with the delivery of this military report, the atmosphere in the entire palace took a sharp turn and became calm and terrifying. When the ministers entered the palace, they immediately felt this calm and oppressive atmosphere, and asked the little chamberlain next to them, but the little chamberlain was just like a mourner, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Ministers meet the king!"

All the ministers said in unison, and Gao Jianwu, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy and pale face and a hoarse voice.

"Lone just received a military report, and the army was defeated under the Black Bone City!"

The hall became very silent in an instant, and the needles could be heard, and all the ministers were stunned, the army was defeated under the Black Bone City? How did you lose so quickly? No, how did you lose? Didn't you just receive a military report two days ago, saying that Gao Yanshou used the radical general method and successfully provoked the Tang Emperor to promise to go out of the city to fight? When the news came, both the king and all of them rejoiced, and when the good news came, why was the army suddenly defeated? Big Brother asked.

"Your Majesty, didn't General Gao Yanshou use the radical general method to provoke the Tang Emperor to go out of the city to fight? How could the army be defeated? ”

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"The general will read it and let everyone listen to it!"

The chamberlain said yes, and then unfolded the military report and read it, and the ministers listened to it, and their faces became very solemn, although the Tang army did not have the advantage of artillery, but there were still very powerful muskets? The army was defeated in a battle? Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led the troops unfavorably, abandoned the army and fled? After the chamberlain finished reading the military report, the hall was still very quiet, and everyone was too affected to come back to their senses for a while.
