Chapter 490: The Prisoner Escapes

In the northeast, after more than a month of tiring carriages and horses, the Goguryeo Grand Pair Lu Yuan Gai Suwen was finally escorted to the border. As early as five days ago, Chai Shao, the governor of Youzhou, gathered 50,000 troops, camped at the border, and looked at the Goguryeo pass opposite. The Goguryeo side was so frightened that it was caught off guard and hastily captured 30,000 strong men to supplement the defense.

Now that everything is ready, it's time for the actors to be in place.

Chai Shao waved his hand, "Give a war letter to the other side, start the siege tomorrow, let them wash their necks and wait, dare to send someone to assassinate our majesty, and they must pay for it with blood." ”

The defenders on the Goguryeo side are all resentful, a few are scolding the Tang Dynasty for bullying people too much, and most of them are scolding the Great Tang for being a troublemaker who sent you to the Tang Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations, you are good, what kind of assassination is there to do?

The assassination failed, you will die, we will be attacked, and we will have to fight for the New Year? Who has ever seen a war in the cold winter moon? Our group of people didn't have any clothes for the winter, and they were shivering from the cold, let alone fighting, I was afraid that if we hadn't been hacked to death by the Tang army on the other side, we would have been frozen to death a long time ago. I really envy the Tang people, look at other people's equipment and armor, and carry the wind at a glance.

Carrying the wind?

You think too much, the same leaking wind, the same cold and biting, we don't want to brave the ice and snow to come to attack the city and fight, it looks like the New Year, if you die in battle, how will you spend this year? On the other side, the Tang army is also complaining, but when a soldier eats food, he always listens to the dispatch from above, where does he get his freedom?

Early the next morning, the people of Goguryeo were waiting to be attacked, but the Tang army did not move, they should cook, they should train and train, and they had no intention of attacking the city, which made the Goguryeo side very puzzled, what does it mean? Didn't you make an appointment to come to the siege today?

Until noon, when the sun was shining, the Goguryeo side was just about to eat, and the Tang army pulled it out neatly and set up a posture, catapults, arrow towers, ladders, battering rams, etc., so angry that the Goguryeo side scolded, shameless, and caused us to freeze in the snow all morning. I don't have lunch, even if I wait to defend the city and die, I am a starving ghost.

The sound of war drums and shouts of killing...... A siege and bloody battle began, the Tang army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the Goguryeo side was also angry.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the rear, Chai Shao did not personally come forward to direct the battle, but calmly cooked wine and chatted in the camp tent. The one who accompanied him in the big tent turned out to be the prisoner Yuan Gai Suwen? At this moment, he was not tied, but sat down as a guest.

"Hehe, Da Pair Lu is a smart person, since you know what my Hou Ye means, then there is no need to make a show, let you sneak away? Are we pretending to pursue? Hehe, trouble! And it's not safe, and wait a while, and when our men bring back a relatively intact pair of Goguryeo armor from the battlefield, you can change into it and go to the battlefield to disguise yourself as a fallen soldier. ”

"In this way, in the evening, when everyone cleans up the battlefield, you will be able to return to Goguryeo without any problems. Ben Governor can also go back to the errand. ”

Yuangai Suwen said with a dark face: "Aren't you afraid that I won't cooperate? ”

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Whatever you want! Hou Ye said, if you don't cooperate, you want to die, and I will kill you tomorrow to sacrifice the flag and fulfill you. Then we will officially attack Goguryeo, and first take this border fortress. ”

"But...... Ben Governor observed, the Great Pair of Lu is not like that kind of person, he only lives once, if he dies, even if he has a monstrous ambition in his chest, what is the use? ”

Yuangai Suwen snorted coldly: "Xiao Rui, he is really a master of calculating people's hearts!" This game is lost, but don't be complacent, sooner or later I will find it back, defeat him, and let him taste the taste of being a prisoner. ”

Chai Shao stroked his palm and praised: "Da is good to Lu, this governor admires it, I will tell Hou Ye the original words, presumably Hou Ye is also willing to have a decent opponent." ”

That's what he said, but Chai Shao didn't think so in his heart, what kind of thing are you Yuangai Suwen? Worthy of playing against our champion Hou? If you are really talented, you will not become a prisoner like today, everything about you has been calculated by our Hou Ye, what if you are allowed to return to China? You're just a pawn that we ruined Goguryeo, and you can still jump out of the chessboard?

Not long after, a team of guards came back with an enemy corpse, taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, no one noticed this, after all, Datang is attacking the city to vent his anger, who would have thought that a big war was just to steal a corpse?

The captain of the guard confessed: "Dudu, the battlefield is chaotic, and the people on the other side have all fallen from the city, and almost all of them have fallen into human shape, so there is nothing suitable to choose from. The last general can only pick a piece of armor and come back in a relatively complete way, but it is dirty on it. ”

Chai Shao laughed and encouraged: "It's okay, presumably Da Jie Lu won't be picky about these, and it is more beneficial to be stained with blood." Strip the armor off the corpse, put it on for the big pair of Lu, and escort him back to the battlefield, remember, there can be no mistakes! ”

"The last general understands, big to Lu, please!"

Yuangai Suwen glanced at the corpse, then turned his head to look at Chai Shao, who was full of pride, and said hatefully: "Tell Xiao Rui: You will regret it." ”

"Okay, don't worry about Lu, this governor will turn back to Hou Ye."

Sending away Yuangai Suwen, Chai Shao walked out of the camp, observed the siege situation from a distance, and sighed and said: "The Lord does not use anger to raise the division, defend in autumn and winter, and start a war in spring and summer, these are all ancient rules, but I didn't expect that these rules can also be used on the battlefield now." It seems that what Hou Ye said is right, war is not the goal, war is only for the court game. ”

"Alas...... It's a pity that siege battles often have a lot of casualties, and after a big battle, I don't know how many sons and daughters can't survive this year. ”

Thinking of this, he turned back to a guard and scolded: "Go, personally urge the inner servant who passed the decree in the rear, if he can't arrive tomorrow, this governor will kill him!" ”

Yes, everyone knows that it is taboo to start a war in Layue, and the soldiers will be angry, so this act will not really take the pass of Goguryeo, just acting, it is enough to send Yuangai Suwen in, and it is a big mistake to have one more day of casualties.

Therefore, in order to reasonably stop the war, the Tang side arranged the following scenes, and just one day after the war, it was urgently stopped by the imperial court, and the emperor recalled Chai Shao by a holy decree to stop this retaliatory battle, and said that this war was Chai Shao's private action, so that the soldiers would not resent the imperial court.

On the contrary, Chai Shao became a backstabber, and because of this, his governor of Youzhou has done it, but this is what was agreed in advance, Chai Shao has been the governor of the foreign capital for many years, and his official position and title are over, and it is time to go back to Chang'an for retirement. His request for promotion was not to be promoted to a knighthood, but to Xiao Rui, on one condition, let Xiao Rui accept his two sons and teach them by his side in person.

Helpless, Xiao Rui could only be forced to respond, anyway, he was going to run a school in Xiaojiazhuang, and he just accepted two students in advance.

Besides, Yuangai Suwen, who mixed under the city wall and pretended to be dead, although he didn't suffer any injuries on his body, but the Goguryeo side lacked cotton clothes.

Seeing that the sun is in the west, it is about to be dark, if the defenders in the city pass don't come out to clean up, then it's over, let alone pretending to be dead and blending in, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for that moment, I will be frozen to death at the door of my house.

Or, while your body is not stiff, climb back into the Datang camp, save your life first, and then you can go back to China in a different way......

However, he is now wearing the clothes of a Goguryeo soldier and approaching the Tang military camp alone? I'm afraid that I will be pierced into a hedgehog by random arrows......

Thinking of this, Yuan Gai Suwen was about to cry, and he couldn't help but scold Xiao Rui eight hundred times in his heart!

At this moment, the gate of Chengguan slowly opened, and Goguryeo came out to clean the battlefield.
