Chapter 441: Keeping Goguryeo
The king of Goguryeo was thinking about this Gai Yuan Suwen's words, and he also knew that it was now the most dangerous moment, but should this strategy be adopted, if it was before, then everyone should be gathered together to discuss it, but now there is no such time, even if you think about it yourself, there will be a few hours left at most.
Whether it is to send someone to meet the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, or to contact Silla and Baekje, it will take time, just on the road will take a lot of time, and after seeing their rulers, you have to know them well, otherwise these two countries will not send troops, after all, Goguryeo did not bully people when it was strong, and people would not be able to help Goguryeo resist the lobby, which must require a person who can speak well.
"According to the Prime Minister's meaning, if all of them do this, then what are the chances of our Goguryeo surviving in the end?"
When the words of the King of Goguryeo came out, Gai Yuan Suwen knew that he had thought about it carefully, and he was still inclined to this method, as for the chances, Gai Yuan Suwen couldn't make up his mind now, he didn't know what the people in power in the Tang Dynasty thought, if there was only one Li Shimin, maybe the chance of survival was seventy percent, but now there is another Li Xiang in the Tang Dynasty, this guy is more aggressive than Li Shimin, and he is more eager for territory, so this probability is not easy to say.
"If our people can see the Tang Emperor, then we should be sixty percent sure, but if there is no way to see the Tang Emperor, just to see the grandson of the Tang Emperor, I don't think even thirty percent of them are."
When the king of Goguryeo heard the previous sentence, he was relieved in his heart, although he lost all the land north of the Datong River, but it was very good for him to be able to leave this half of the country, after all, according to the current situation of Goguryeo, the death of the country is a sure thing, you can leave such a half, what else do you pursue?
But when he heard the latter sentence, the whole person almost stood up excitedly, the expression on his face had been exposed, and he was indeed very scared now.
"The imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful?"
The king of a country praises the rulers of other countries, which are generally polite words, saying that they make everyone happy on the scene, but when facing their own people, it is indeed very rare, this is by no means polite words, but true.
"The king may not know the situation of the Tang Dynasty, two years ago when Li Shimin was defeated, we still have an advantage, take you and me as an example, make Goguryeo like this, all of them are the handiwork of His Royal Highness the Taisun, in these two years, he first took Tuyuhun, and then made a mess of Tubo, and now he is pointing the finger at me Goguryeo, if it is not a capable person, can he do all this?"
For these countries mentioned by Gai Yuan Suwen, the king of Goguryeo has also heard of it, Tuyuhun is a small country in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, although the area is not very large, but the cavalry combat power is also very strong, and it was taken down in half a year, you can imagine how strong Li Xiang's ability is.
As for the name of Tubo, the king of Goguryeo has also heard of it, it is said that the land area is vast, and it is also from the country of heaven, they subdued all the surrounding tribes, which formed a big empire about the same size as the Tang Dynasty, and even such an empire fell into decline within a year, where did Goguryeo have the strength to resist this royal highness?
"If we fight the Datong River in a bloody battle, what do the chances of victory do you think?"
Now the voice of the king of Goguryeo has come down, it was a normal voice just now, and now anyone can hear it, the voice of the king is depressed, maybe this half of the country is also a luxury.
"If it's winter, we don't have any chance of winning, if we can still hold out for a year when Silla and Baekje send troops for another year, then our chances will be even greater, but if they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then we will hold out for a few months at most."
Gai Yuan Suwen said that there is nothing wrong with it, the temperature of the Datong River is cold in winter, and the entire river surface is frozen, even if ten thousand horses are galloping, there will be no problems on the river surface, only in summer and autumn when the river water melts, the army of the Tang Dynasty is not easy to cross the river.
The second is the current Goguryeo army, which is claimed to be 200,000, of which 100,000 are here to make up the number, and the rest of the people don't have much to do now, except for tens of thousands of elites, the others are really useless.
The king of Goguryeo did not expect that he was now in a desperate situation, originally thought that the two sides would be able to resist foreign enemies if they cooperated, but now it seems that this is just our wishful thinking, and we have to hand over our fate to Silla and Baekje, even if they can carry the Tang army away, whether the 100,000 horses of these two countries are retreating, that is another matter, even if they retreat, they have to empty Goguryeo Huohuo when they leave.
"God......
The king of Goguryeo whispered these three words in desperation, Gai Yuan Suwen's face was not good-looking, once upon a time he wanted to defeat the young man in front of him and let the young man in front of him hand over the throne to himself, but now Gai Yuan Suwen suddenly felt that this was a hot yam, if he resisted to the end, Datang would definitely pursue the bandit leader.
"Send sea ships, send envoys with sea ships and let them go to Chang'an City."
After thinking about it for a long time, the king finally said this, since there is no way to send people to Chang'an City by land, then the only way to go is to take the sea route, although the sea route is extremely dangerous in this era, but at this time, we must take risks, if we see Li Shimin, isn't there still a chance to survive?
Anyone who is about to die will grasp the last straw, and the king of Goguryeo is no exception, Gai Yuan Suwen also nodded after hearing this, and it was very rare that he did not object, you must know that in the past days, any proposal from both sides would be opposed by the other party, and it was brainless opposition.
I thought that Li Shimin was already a butcher, and he killed so many people when he was in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, but compared with his grandson, Li Shimin turned out to be a moderate, whether it was the prime minister of Goguryeo or the king of Goguryeo, they all put the chance of survival on Li Shimin's body, hoping that the Tang Emperor could open the net and stop his grandson......
