Chapter 456: Gathering the Numbers

Goguryeo Front.

Gai Yuan Suwen has been here for two days, and he came secretly two days ago, so even some Goguryeo generals don't know that the Prime Minister has arrived at the front line.

There is no way for this prime minister to come here, he already knows that Goguryeo has no way to retreat, and there were all kinds of plans before, but there is no use at this moment, the Tang Dynasty has closed the door to negotiations, so they have no way to retreat except to resist to the end.

Gai Yuan Suwen discussed with the King of Goguryeo, and Gai Yuan Su Wen was ready to go to the front line in person and let the King of Goguryeo provide logistics in the back.

When the two discussed this matter, it seemed extremely harmonious, it only took a meal, the two of them discussed this important matter, since the last time the lobby closed the door to negotiation, both of them have grown a lot more than before, these two people also know that they can't fight anymore, now we twist into a rope, maybe there is a chance of winning, but if you continue to fight, it is really ten deaths.

After Gai Yuan Suwen came to the front line, he did not notify other generals, but walked on the front line for two days like a private visit, if he hadn't walked for these two days, Gai Yuan Suwen might still have some confidence in his heart, but after these two days, he had no confidence at all, and the real situation was worse than reported.

Originally, there were two lines of defense on the Datong River, one in the north of the Yangtze River and the other in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now the Jiangbei defense line is impossible, all of them have been destroyed, they don't even have a secret agent in Jiangbei, and the 200,000 Tang troops have blocked the riverside to death, as long as someone dares to come, they will be killed immediately.

The Jiangnan defense line claims to have 200,000 male soldiers, but after the inspection of the prime minister, let alone 200,000 male soldiers, it is already quite good to be able to gather 100,000 people.

These people are not stupid, they have seen the Tang Dynasty in Jiangbei, if they continue to stay in the army, they are not responsible for their own little life, and after returning home, they have to quickly escape to the mountains and forests with their families, so they can be regarded as having a glimmer of life, hiding for a year and a half, it is estimated that the outside will be stable, if you stay at home, when the Tang army kills you, the whole family may also be slaves.

"Where is Jin Weikang and Zhang Jinnan?"

After coming to the Goguryeo camp, Gai Yuan Suwen revealed his identity, and called the two generals with the largest shortage, after these two people saw the expression on the face of the Prime Minister, they immediately understood what was going on, the two of them retreated from Jiangbei, at that time each had seven or eight thousand soldiers under his command, but now the two of them have added up, and even three thousand people are not enough, how can the Prime Minister not be angry?

"The two of you committed such a great crime, and almost made the whole country pay the price, and dragged me down and beheaded."

Gai Yuan Suwen is still very iron-blooded, he knows that at this time, he must use blood to establish his authority, if he just says a few words, the following people may not be regarded as the same thing, they have to let them see the real blood, they can find a way to fill people enough, although there is not much combat power to pull ordinary people to be soldiers, but it is better than nothing, right?

"Prime Minister spares ...... life"

The two of them still wanted to explain, but the soldiers from the capital of Goguryeo didn't give them this opportunity, so they directly dragged the two people out, and then there were two screams, and the two were already in different places at the moment.

The other generals saw the miserable situation of the two, and their hearts began to tremble a little, although their military camp was slightly better than these two people, but it was not much better, and the best was only half of the soldiers left, mainly because these people had nowhere to go, they were purely bachelors, so they could only stay here except for the military camp, not that they didn't want to run.

Other generals also know that fighting with such an army is pure child's play, and when the Tang army rushes over, don't expect these people to be able to stand in front of them and fight, it is estimated that they are the first people to run, but we can't say this, even if it is the Goguryeo Kingdom, we have to live first now, if you say this, it is estimated that the Prime Minister will kill you and sacrifice the flag.

"The other ministries have listened to me, give you five days to make up the difference between you, if you can't make it up after five days, even if there is a lack of one person, the prime minister will definitely kill you."

After listening to the words of the Prime Minister, a few generals are going to stand up and defend themselves, if it is in peacetime, there are indeed a lot of ordinary people living by the river, and it is not difficult to make up this difference, but everyone knows that the Tang army has Chen Bing, Jiangbei is about to cross the river to fight, and they are not fools, of course they will not continue to live by the river, they have already run to the capital, even if they want to make up the difference, it should start from that side, even if we dig three feet into the ground, I'm afraid I won't find enough people.

But these people looked at the black face of the Prime Minister, if you dare to say it, then the unlucky person must be you, the Prime Minister has lost his mind now, then we have no other way, in order to save our own lives, we can only bring all the people around us, don't care if he is an old man and a child, don't care if he is a woman or a pregnant woman, as long as it is a head, then we have to pull him in.

After Gai Yuan Suwen finished speaking, he didn't bother these people, and also thought that they could save time, so that they could go out to recruit soldiers quickly, and told them that the new soldiers must be trained.

The generals below agreed, and there was a bitterness in their hearts, what if all we captured were women, even if you trained them, would they have combat effectiveness on the battlefield? I can't control it so much now, I have to complete the Prime Minister's order first, whether it is a town or a village around, even if you are an official's family, you have to come to give me this number first, or you will kill !!
