Chapter 278: Chai Shao's Mission

At the same time, on the border of Youzhou in the northeast, after many days of confrontation, the big pair Lu Yuan Gai Suwen finally met Chai Shao, the governor of Youzhou.

"Dadudu, it's really all a misunderstanding, Goguryeo didn't kidnap the prince of your country, it was the Turks who slandered us."

Chai Shao drank tea leisurely in front of him, as if he knew everything, and looked at Yuangai Suwen with a smile, seeing that the other party was very unsure, "Da Zhu Lu, if you retreat your 50,000 soldiers and horses, the governor of Pontus will believe you." ”

Burst......

Yuangai Suwen wanted to vomit blood. The heart said I heard it right, you are clearly a bully.

You have 50,000 troops on the border, and you are going to attack Goguryeo, and we are deploying 50,000 troops purely to guard against you. What do you say now? Let me quit the army? Simply let me open the country and welcome your army into the city.

"If the Metropolitan Governor withdraws his troops and no longer attacks Goguryeo, of course we will also retreat."

Chai Shao snorted coldly and said: "It has been verified that you Goguryeo took away our prince in the name of a caravan, and finally sold it at a high price in the Turks." Big pair Lu, if people don't know unless they do it, don't give us an explanation for this matter, but if it's you, your child has been kidnapped, can you fight hard? ”

Yuangai Suwen explained with a bitter face: "It's really all a misunderstanding......

"It doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding, it's the facts that matter. If you're wrong, you should admit it. You may not know that your subordinates kidnapped our prince, but what about giving it to the Turks? Why don't you give it back to Datang? Instead, it was given to the Turks to invite merit? Jieli said it well, the Turks and Goguryeo formed an alliance and shared life and death. Gee...... Now that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops to attack the Turks, you are allies, and of course it is no exception. ”

"I'll tell you. Until the Tang Dynasty and the Turks divide the victory, the Governor will not attack Goguryeo, but will only stay here to watch you. Wait for the victory and defeat on the western battlefield, and then I will settle the score with you. ”

You guys......

Yuangai Suwen said: "Dadu, Goguryeo promised not to participate in the war and not to help the Turks. How about retreating separately? The two sides are so deadlocked, why bother with the loss of people and money? ”

Chai Shao had a wealthy attitude of not caring about it: "It's okay, Datang is rich, and I don't care about this military expenditure." ”

Burst......

Yuangai Suwen wanted to vomit blood, but we are poor in Goguryeo, and we can't afford it with you.

The first official meeting between the two sides ended in the complete defeat of Yuangai Suwen.

Chai Shao didn't feel much proud, but said a little stupidly: "Alas...... A war to destroy the country but not let me participate, damn Goguryeo, if you didn't hold the back of the Tang Dynasty, why would you be idle every day to drink tea with you? It's already in the grassland. ”

"Adjutant General, how am I doing today?"

"Perfect! The deputy soldier is strong and strong, not only Yuan Gai Su Wen believed, but even the last general and others also believed it. Looking at their expressions, you can know that they are not lightly angry, they dare not retreat, they dare not leave, and they look helpless. For the first time, the last general and others knew that the battle could be fought like this. ”

Chai Shao glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "Tell you the truth, who made you sycophant?" Alas...... What is the situation in Datang, can we not know? To deal with Jieli's 200,000 cavalry, it is not enough to rely on 100,000 troops alone. There must be a surprise soldier all the way in Youzhou. ”

"Ben will need to paralyze the Goguryeo people here, you ordered many people to carry banners, come out every day to practice, and make the camp really have the strength of 50,000 soldiers and horses. Then secretly dispatched 40,000 people, set off from Anle City, and fought into the grassland to cooperate with the main force. ”

A group of generals under his command were overjoyed and knelt down on one knee to salute and receive the order.

I thought I was really going to be a cell boss here, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to participate in the war in person, haha, that's great.

Only Chai Shao couldn't laugh, he was the governor of Youzhou, if he left, the Goguryeo people would be suspicious and send troops to kill Youzhou, it would be a bad thing. Alas...... What a military exploit to watch.

……

Yuan Gai Suwen, who returned to Chengguan, had a dark face, and his generals were puzzled, "It's a good thing that Da Zheng Lu and Datang don't attack us." Although some rations were expended, at least there were no casualties. ”

"Idiot! Do you think they mean well? Yuan Gai Su Wen scolded with his head and face.

Isn't it?

"Hmph, that's because they're trying their best to deal with the Turks, and they're lacking in skills. When they have defeated the Turks, they will have time to concentrate on attacking our Goguryeo. It's going to be more dangerous than going to war now! ”

Yes?

All the subordinates exclaimed in unison, is this a diplomatic code word? Damn, so what to do?

"What to do? Chai Shao was very arrogant and wanted to block the door to prevent us from going to support the Turks. But there is more than one way for Goguryeo to go to the Turks, and we can borrow it from the three tribes in the north. The Tang Dynasty did not want us to participate, proving that they were not absolutely sure of defeating the Turks. ”

"Although Jieli's character is not good, he deliberately pulled us Goguryeo into his ally, but since he has already gotten on the bus, he must work together. Otherwise, once the Turks fall, we Goguryeo will definitely not end well. Only when the Turks and the Tang Dynasty confront each other can we benefit from it. ”

"So if we can send troops to help Jieli at a critical moment, we must help."

Yuangai Suwen is knowledgeable and capable, his analysis is very thorough, and his decisions are also very decisive.

"However, as soon as our soldiers and horses move, they will be discovered by the Youzhou soldiers immediately......"

"It's okay, there is an example of grass and trees in the Central Plains, let's follow suit, put up more trees and flags, get some straw men to put on clothes, and make the appearance of undiminished troops. Dispatch 40,000 troops to the north to borrow the road. Just make sure Chai Shao can't see it. ”

"And what if they are seen attacking the city?"

"Leave 10,000 people to guard the city pass, and the prime minister personally guards the city, so that Chai Shao will think that the 50,000 army has always been there when he sees that I have not left. Even if it is discovered, the opponent's 50,000 people will attack the city, and 10,000 people can resist for three days, and then the domestic troops and horses can be temporarily dispatched to help. ”

Neither side expected that everyone's strategy was the same, and they were all hiding from the world. It seems that they are all good actors.

Goguryeo's imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel, and before their soldiers and horses could enter the grassland, they encountered obstacles.

The territory of the three northern tribes is talking about the three tribes of Murowei, Yao, and Khitan. The two tribes of Murwei and Yan are located in the north, which is sparsely populated and bitterly cold, and they do not have close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and they rely on hunting for food and clothing all day long, and they are unable to participate in disputes.

Therefore, it does not matter whether you borrow the Tao or not. Even if the 40,000 troops of Goguryeo did not greet them and passed by directly, they were powerless to stop them. What's more, Goguryeo also sent people to greet and promise some benefits, and the two clans were of course happy to see it succeed.

Only the Khitan is different, the Khitan territory is close to Youzhou in the south and the Turkic steppe in the west, which belongs to the nomadic grassland region and is relatively rich. In addition, the year before last, he relied on the relationship with Datang, and he has been developing the cattle economy in the past two years, so his strength has become stronger and stronger.

Hearing that Goguryeo was going to send troops to support the Turks, the Khitan king Dahemo would refuse on the spot.

"By the Khitan? I'm afraid you're not here to annex us, right? There is a story in the Central Plains about the destruction of the false path, we have heard it, how can the territory be passed by casually? Don't mention this again! ”

The Goguryeo envoys didn't expect that this Khitan king was still a cultural expert in the Central Plains, and he knew the story of the destruction of the false way?
