Chapter 377: Defection
"If he is really Gao Huanquan, military advisor, what should we do?" General Cheng asked.
"If he is really Gao Huanquan, then it depends on what he wants to do." The military advisor said: "I didn't expect that there would be an 'old man' in front of the battle, after all, it is the son of King Rongliu, and the general will bring two or a few guards to go over and join him in front of the two armies for a while." ”
General Cheng nodded, took a team of guards around him, and rode to the front of the two armies.
And Gao Huanquan also brought a few people to the front of the battle, opposite General Cheng.
"Cheng general, long admired the name." Gao Huanquan bowed.
"His Royal Highness has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and his behavior is quite similar to that of the Tang people, and he will be polite in the end." General Cheng replied: "I don't know what His Highness wants to lead troops to face our army today, but he talks to the last general in front of the battle?" If His Royal Highness is a lobbyist for the Tang Army, then please forgive the last general for not being able to say more to His Highness, and the last general will definitely not agree to the surrender. ”
"Now that the national crisis is at hand, the general can have such a responsibility, Lone is very pleased, the general is relieved, Lone and the general have a dialogue in front of the battle, not to persuade the general to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but to ask the general to accept the 30,000 soldiers behind me, they are all veterans of Goguryeo, and they have been by my side for three years, and now I can no longer be able to protect them, please ask the general, accept them." Gao Huanquan said.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Gao Huanquan's words made General Cheng angry, could it be that this Gao Huanquan came to surrender to himself?
It is not difficult to receive 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers, but the difficulty lies in Gao Huanquan himself.
Now that Goguryeo already has a treasure king, what is it when Gao Huanquan comes back? Where are you going to put him?
And Gao Huanquan has been in Tang for so long, is he still trustworthy?
"On the surface, I am leading these 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers to surrender to you." Gao Huanquan said.
"It is certainly a good thing that His Highness has returned to Goguryeo, but His Highness has also seen the current situation in Goguryeo, and the last general is also very difficult." General Cheng said.
"Why should General Cheng be embarrassed, the name of the crown prince has long been in the past, I am now just a general in the army, with 30,000 soldiers and horses under my command, from today on, there is no Gao Huan in this world, only one Gao Huan left."
Gao Huanquan returned to Goguryeo, and he was not pursuing power, so only the word Gao Huan remained, and from today, Gao Huanquan became Gao Huan.
"This ......" General Cheng hesitated, he didn't know whether to agree to Gao Huanquan or not, after thinking about it, he said to one of the guards beside him: "You go to the general's division and invite you over." ”
"Yes." The guards turned their horses and galloped in the direction of their own army.
Gao Huanquan didn't speak, quietly waiting for General Cheng to reply, the two sides were deadlocked for a while, and then Gao Huanquan spoke again: "Now there are only more than 20,000 Liaodong troops in the downstream camp of the Tang army, after the general takes these Tang troops, he can go back and take back Bozhuo City, now in Bozhuo City, there are only 5,000 defenders, and the army wants to take back Bozhuo City, it is easy, so that the elite division of the Tang Army in the north will all be wiped out in the hands of the general, and the general has saved Goguryeo." ”
General Cheng nodded, what Gao Huanquan said was similar to what the previous military advisor told him, it was nothing more than to destroy the main force of the Tang army north of Pyongyang, recover the lost territory, and save the entire Goguryeo in danger.
While speaking, the military advisor and the escort rode to the two armies and stopped in front of General Cheng.
"General." The military advisor saluted General Cheng.
"The military advisor doesn't have to be polite, His Royal Highness said that he would take the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers to defect to us, and I would have been a little uncertain to pay attention, and I wanted to hear the opinion of the military advisor." General Cheng said.
"Oh? I don't know Your Highness, after the defection, how will Your Highness deal with himself in Goguryeo? The scribe looked at Gao Huanquan and asked.
"Ordinary generals in the army are in their own hands, and it is in the past that the crown prince is honored." Gao Huanquan said: "Now that my family and country are in danger, I don't want to watch Goguryeo perish, and the people of Goguryeo are trembling under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Your Highness's righteousness." The scribe arched his hand and said, "In this case, if Your Highness can practice what you say, then our army welcomes Your Highness." ”
"Good!" Gao Huanquan responded loudly: "The military advisor understands the righteousness and admires it!" In this way, I will let these brothers behind me join forces with the general's army, and from now on, they will all obey General Cheng's command. ”
After Gao Huanquan finished speaking, he turned his horse's head, returned to the camp, and told several lieutenants in the army about it.
"Your Highness, have you really made up your mind to return to Goguryeo?" The adjutant asked.
"If you don't want me to die, from now on, don't call me Your Highness, there is only Gao Huan in the army, and there is no Gao Huanquan anymore, call me General Gao, to this day, there is no choice." Gao Huanquan said.
Several lieutenants glanced at each other and nodded, being able to return to Goguryeo was also their wish before, and now although the situation is different, this wish has finally come true.
Gao Huanquan's 30,000 army and General Cheng's 120,000 army merged together, transforming the city into 150,000 Goguryeo soldiers.
"This time, Xuan Shijing really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot." The military advisor rode a horse and walked beside General Cheng: "After the division, I will wait for 150,000 troops and slaughter 20,000 Tang troops, which is an easy matter." ”
"Yes, this time our army has increased by 30,000 people at once, all thanks to that Xuan Shijing, what is he called? This is called being clever but being mistaken by being smart! General Cheng said this, and also laughed happily twice.
Gao Huanquan's 30,000 horses slowly moved towards the army, whether it was General Cheng or the scribes around him, they were not afraid that Gao Huanquan would regret it again, and raided the army, 30,000 soldiers and horses, in front of the 120,000 army, like ants, besides, now the 120,000 army is still on guard in front of the battle, and it is not so easy to be raided.
When the two armies were about to merge into one, a loud bang suddenly sounded from the Tang Army camp downstream.
After this sound, before the 150,000 Goguryeo soldiers could react to what was going on, they could hear a rumbling movement from the upper reaches that was even louder than the sound just now.
These earth-shattering noises frightened the horses in the army, and the horses' hooves kept digging the ground, and they were restless.
"This movement ......," the scribe's face was full of doubt.
"Not good! The Don Army is storing water upstream! Gao Huanquan shouted.
The Goguryeo people are not familiar with this kind of movement, but Gao Huanquan knows this too well, this is the gunpowder of the Tang army, once it explodes, it is extremely powerful, Gao Huanquan can't think of what the Tang army can do other than blow up the.
