Chapter 386: Silent Betrayal
Yuangai Suwen looked at the roaring airship in the sky and shook his head helplessly. This means that the battlefield is transparent, that is, he doesn't know what Tang Jun is doing, but Tang Jun knows what he is doing.
Although the Goryeo army has Hai Dongqing in the sky, Hai Dongqing is not a human after all. It is impossible to express complex military operations like a human being, and can only simply express the direction of movement of a large-scale enemy army.
This feeling of being watched all day long is very bad, and Yuan Gai Suwen has a sense of foreboding. It's going to be tough this time against the Tang people!
Yuangae Suwen had his consideration for stationing the Goryeo army in Jian'an, and the mountainous area of Jian'an was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. If the Tang army wants to besiege Jian'an, it must need a large number of troops. If a large number of troops are deployed, Anshi Castle will not be in danger. If the Don army does not attack Jian'an, but only monitors the defense.
Na Yuan Gai Su Wen can swagger here to garrison troops, past experience tells them. As long as the winter in Liaodong comes, it is impossible for the Han people from the Central Plains to adapt to this. And the winter in Goryeo is almost the same as in Liaodong. The Goryeo soldiers can easily adapt to the cold of Liaodong.
The Tang army, which was invaded by the cold, would be crushed by the bitter cold if it did not retreat. If you retreat......! Hey! A few decades ago, the old things of the Sui army will repeat themselves.
The most direct cause of the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty was the failure of the expedition to Goryeo. As a result, the Great Sui was full of wolves, and the loss of population and property was incalculable. A vast empire that almost perished. Yuangai Suwen looked down on Gao Jianwu very much, if Yuangai Suwen was given such an opportunity, he would definitely enter the Central Plains. I have heard of the wealth of the Central Plains, and I have heard of the wealth of Guanzhong. You have to really take a look at what kind of good way the Han people are in the end.
It was Gao Jianwu's cowardice that made Goryeo lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Every time he thought of this, Yuangai Suwen wanted to pinch Gao Jianwu, who had turned into ashes, and burn it again.
Jeon Yan Chi, the chief of the march of Yuangai Suwen.
"Lord! There is detailed information! ”
"Oh, get people in." Yuangai Suwen immediately got into the big tent, and the technical means couldn't catch up with others. It can only be used by some primitive means, such as dispatching meticulous work. There are Koreans and Tang people who have been bought. Loyalty is a good virtue that not everyone possesses. For those who lack loyalty, money can serve a very good purpose.
Jeon Yanchi walked in with a Tang man in his thirties, who was a big intelligence boss that Goryeo had bought in Liaodong. Specializing in spying on the military intelligence of the Koreans, Yun Hao caused a heavy loss to the Korean spy network when he wantonly killed foreign races. But these Tang people were preserved unscathed. Because Yun Hao doesn't have the habit of attacking the Tang people!
"If you have any information, just tell me!" In order to avoid the trouble of the tongue man, Yuan Gai Suwen simply asked directly in Chinese.
"Qiyu Da Mo left the branch, most of the Tang army has left Anshi City. Begin to advance towards Jian'an, his idea is to crush your army in Jian'an. Then the Yalu water was cut off by the Liaodong Naval Division to make sure that your army could not return to Goryeo. Yun Hao...... Yun Hao wants to kill you all in Liaodong. The Tang man, who was kneeling on the ground, said cautiously.
"Oh, Gao Hui is really my famous general. With an army of 150,000 in his hands, won't he take this opportunity to rush out and attack the Tang army on two fronts with me? Yuangai Suwen glanced at the map and felt that the Tang people were definitely looking for death by doing this.
"Returning to the Great Mo Branch, the Tang people mobilized more than 100,000 laborers of various ethnic groups to dig three wide trenches along Anshi City. General Gao has been trapped and can't get out. ”
"What?" Yuangai Suwen was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and the Tang people surrounded Anshi City like an iron pass. It was difficult for idlers to get close, and this news was the first time that Yuan Gai Suwen had learned about it.
"Even if General Gao can't come out, then how can the Tang people be sure that they can defeat my Goryeo army in Jian'an." Jeon Yanchi asked in a deep voice.
"The Tang people had firearms, at the beginning of the siege of Jian'an. The Tang army fired firearms and annihilated the 3,000 Goryeo troops stationed in the military village in a single stick of incense. ”
"What? How long does it take to stick incense? "Yuangai Suwen now regrets very much that he didn't kill Yun Hao's bastard with his own hands.
"The deployment of the Tang Army's march should be very secret, how did you find out?" Quan Yanchi thought for a moment and asked. Although the news just now was shocking, there were still some people who didn't believe what the Tang people said. In his bones, Quan Yanchi doubted everything that the Tang people said. He learned Tang Chinese for fear of being deceived by the cunning Tang people.
"General Quan doesn't have to doubt it, I heard about this matter when I was drinking with the old housekeeper of Sun Shunde, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of which, he deliberately told the villain. Because Xue Guogong and Chu Guogong Yunhao have a personal enmity. He didn't want to see Yun Hao make military achievements. Therefore, he deliberately revealed the news to the villain, and confided it to the general and Da Mo Lizhi through the villain's mouth.
Xue Guogong meant that Da Mo would withdraw his troops as soon as possible, and perhaps withdraw to Goryeo while the Liaodong Naval Division was not in place. also said that the purpose of the imperial court this time was only Liaodong. When the army attacks Yalu Water, it will negotiate peace with Da Mo and will definitely not attack Goryeo itself. ”
"Oh, I see!" Yuangai Suwen was silent, pondering the truth of this man's words.
It is easy to understand that there is enmity between the magnates of a country. It is not uncommon for there to always be some conflicts of interest between nobles. But for the sake of personal vendetta has disregarded the interests of the country, such a thing is of a different nature. To put it mildly, that's called betrayal! To put it mildly, that's treason. If Li Er knew about this matter, it would only be a matter of a moment to directly raid the family and exterminate the clan.
For the sake of one's own personal vendetta......! That eldest grandson Shunde dares to take such a big risk?
"What kind of enmity does that Yun Hao have with the eldest grandson Shunde?" Jeon Yanchi asked with some curiosity.
"As far as the villain knows, the deaths of the two sons of the eldest grandson Shunde are related to Yun Hao. When he was in Chang'an, there were many disputes between the eldest grandson family and the Yun family. Recently, the eldest grandson's family was almost broken, and it was not until he was blessed by the queen mother that he was able to get through the difficulties. And the elderly eldest grandson Shunde also had to go away to Liaodong. Become the chief of the march of Liaodong Road! ”
"I see!" Quan Yanchi glanced at Yuan Gai Suwen, and he believed this fine work a little.
"Qi Yu Da Mo left the branch, a letter from Jian'an City." A lieutenant held a Hai Dongqing in his hand.
Yuangai Suwen personally untied a bamboo pipe from Hai Dongqing's leg, checked the fire paint and quickly opened it.
"You get out!" After reading the note in the bamboo tube, Yuan Gai Suwen waved his hand and drove away the study.
"Da Mo is out of the branch, what did Gao Hui really say?" As soon as Hosaku went out, Quan Yanchi couldn't help but ask.
Gao Huizhen said something similar to him, he guessed that the Tang army's reluctance to attack Anshi City was just to lure my reinforcements. He told me to withdraw my troops quickly, otherwise it would cause a great loss of Goryeo's vitality. As for him......! ”
"How?" Quan Yanchi and Gao Hui really had a lifelong friendship, and when they heard Yuan Gai Suwen say this, they immediately asked eagerly.
"He is ready to shed his last drop of blood for the Goryeo nation!" Yuangai Suwen said with some sadness. Gao Huizhen wanted to sacrifice himself and 100,000 Goryeo troops to delay the Tang army.
"Don't leave the branch, my subordinates have an idea." Quan Yanchi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said with a glare.
"Say!"
"According to Hai Dongqing's investigation, a group of Tang cavalry is advancing towards Hengren. It's better for us to go to the northeast and eat this Tang army directly. hurt the Tang army, and I am not afraid that they will not chase after him to take revenge. Although the Tang army had sharp firearms, they had a lot of baggage. Coupled with the unfamiliar terrain, we can lure them into the mountains. When they are tired, the whole army may be able to fight. Jeon Yanchi said, pointing to the map.
Yuangai Suwen looked at the map carefully, and his mind was racing with ideas. Several times, he wanted to agree with Jeon Hikochi's suggestion. But in the end, I reluctantly vetoed it!
"A team of 30,000 Tang troops is not something that can be eaten in one bite. If they take their chances, we will be entangled by them. You know, they're no slower cavalry than we are. Besides, those things in the sky. Our every move can't escape the eyes and ears of the Tang Army, as long as we are dragged by the Tang Army. It will be difficult for us to cross the Yalu River again!
Jeon Hikochi, I know how you feel. But the 200,000 people in our hands are the last hope for Goryeo. You know, Goryeo's enemies are not just the Tang people. There is also Silla and Baekje, if they want to be strong, they must defeat us. And for the Tang people, our distance is too far, and it may not be their confidants. But Silla and Baekje are our feuds. They want to kill our hearts, and they are much more urgent than the Tang people.
If these 200,000 people were to be handed over to Liaodong, the Silla and Baekje people would pounce like wolves. At that time, we were facing the extinction of the dead race! Jeon Yeon-chi, what I have to think about now is the future of the Goryeo nation, not the life and death of Gao Hui, do you understand? ”
Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Quan Yanchi with blazing eyes, if Quan Yanchi still wanted to rescue Gao Huizhen wholeheartedly. Yuangai Suwen will not hesitate to kill him, for the future of the Goryeo nation, no one can be sacrificed.
Under the gaze of Yuan Gai Suwen, Quan Yanchi sighed helplessly. He knew that Gao Hui was really finished, and for the sake of the future of the Goryeo nation, he had to sacrifice him. And Gao Huizhen is also ready to sacrifice. Everything is for the survival of the Goryeo nation!
In order to survive, he had to abandon his friends, which made Jeon Yanji very painful.
"Knowing that Da Mo is leaving, I will arrange for the withdrawal of troops tonight. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army is not ready to attack, we have an eighty percent chance of withdrawing to Goryeo. After saying this, Quan Yanchi's body seemed to be emptied, and he didn't have the slightest strength.
"Send an envoy to talk to Tang early tomorrow morning, and the request is to rescue Gao Huizhen. The price was that Goryeo completely abandoned Liaodong. Yuangai Suwen said helplessly. This is the only way now, in order to preserve more living power, you can only give up the land that your ancestors have bought for blood.
The land is always like this, being snatched around. In fact, there is no concept of boundaries in a country, and the national boundaries of a country are actually the limits of military power. This is very similar to the truth being within the range of a cannon!
Yuangai Suwen believes that as long as he is lying on his own salary, he will taste the courage. The potatoes and corn stolen from the Tang Kingdom will ripen, and Goryeo will become strong again. And the Central Plains Dynasty will always encounter problems of one kind or another, and their internal power is far more ferocious than that of external hostile forces.
Therefore, the country is rarely attacked by foreigners, but the regime changes frequently. As long as it waits for the opportunity, Goryeo still has a chance to regain this land. Yuangai Suwen believes that as long as you persevere, there will be such a day.
"No! Subordinates will do it! Jeon Yanchi bowed and retreated.
"It would be nice if A-Ying was here, she was the most suitable messenger. I just don't know how she is in Chang'an, maybe she can escape this war in Chang'an! Yuangai Suwen couldn't help but think of Yuangai Suying. This sister, who has hurt the most since childhood, doesn't know what's going on.
Yun Hao was very careful to mobilize his army, most of the time at night. After all, the weather is too fucking hot during the day, and if you don't get this thing right, there will be a big accident. Things in the world are like this, as long as there is convenience, there will be troubles. High-tech is always a double-edged sword!
Liaodong's fucking weather is so fucking hot, it's like it's on fire. The inside of the boots was slippery and greasy, and the socks and boots were separated in two layers. Take off your shoes to dry, the smell is super horrible. But as soon as his feet fell to the ground, Yun Hao had to put on his shoes again. The stones on the ground are so hot that they can scald eggs!
This year's weather is also evil, and the summer in Liaodong seems to be more fucked up than the summer in Chang'an.
The soldiers moved with difficulty, and Li Er didn't even sit in the carriage, but rode a horse to march with the brigade. He was a qualified commander, sometimes even more qualified than an emperor. Not wearing a fur in winter and not opening an umbrella in summer is the minimum requirement.
Yun Hao doesn't care about this, it is already the limit to be able to ride a horse with the brigade without riding a carriage, and the helmet has long been taken off. There is an emperor thirty miles away who looks like a baby, and he can't take the lead in himself. He had a large straw hat on his head, and many pieces of crushed ice were placed in it. The ice water that flowed down his cheeks like earthworms. However, when it reaches the chest, it is already lukewarm. The feeling on the body and the feeling on the top of the head are simply two heavens of ice and fire.
The logistical guards diligently added ice and salt to the water and distributed them to passing soldiers. There is such a water replenishment point every ten miles, and if you don't replenish water in this kind of weather, I don't know how many people will suffer from heat stroke.
After two days of difficult marching, I saw the scouts of the Goryeo army in front. Yun Hao knew that it was not far from Jian'an, so at this time, it was better to let the soldiers rest, and by the way, wait for the burden of the night before marching.
The next day it was still hot, and there wasn't even a hint of wind around. Yun Hao turned on his horse and prepared to let his soldiers arrest the people and build some proposed defenses. Unexpectedly, the note thrown down from the airship made Yun Hao fall into an ice cave!
