Chapter 1092: Three Days?

Gao Huizhen launched a mutiny on the mountain, took down Gao Yanshou and others in one fell swoop, and then sent his younger brother down the mountain to contact the Tang army, and after getting Li Shimin's promise, he also quickly personally escorted Gao Yanshou and others down the mountain, and the remaining Goguryeo people on the mountain also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which also marked that almost all of the 150,000 Goguryeo reinforcements were annihilated by the Tang Dynasty.

However, to Gao Huizhen's disappointment, Li Shimin did not kill Gao Yanshou, but instead sent someone to persuade the other party to defect to the Tang Dynasty, and then named Gao Yanshou as Hongluqing and Gao Huizhen as Si Nongqing.

And when the news that Gao Yanshou's 150,000 troops were all annihilated was transmitted back to Anshi City, Yang Wanchun couldn't help but be stunned, he was originally opposed to Gao Yanshou taking the initiative to attack, but the other party didn't listen to him at all, so after Gao Yanshou sent troops, he was ready to send troops to rescue, but he never expected that in just a few days, the 150,000 army would either die or surrender, and there were even less than 10,000 people who fled back.

"A general is incompetent, tired of thousands of troops, and Gao Yanshou misleads the country!" After the initial shock, Yang Wanchun immediately sighed and sat down on the chair with a dejected expression, although he had expected Gao Yanshou to be defeated, but he didn't expect it to be so completely defeated, the 150,000 army only fled back 10,000 people, that is the last elite of Goguryeo, without this army, what do they do to stop the Tang army like a wolf and a tiger?

"Father, the news of the defeat has been sent, and it is estimated that it will be sent to Pyongyang City in a few days!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a young man in his twenties push open the door of the study and walk in, and then reported softly to Yang Wanchun, this young man's name is Yang Pet, and it is Yang Wanchun's son.

"Alas, if Pyongyang City knows the news of the annihilation of the 150,000-strong army, I'm afraid it will also be a mess, and my Goguryeo is in danger!" Yang Wanchun couldn't help but sigh again when he heard his son's words, he naturally didn't dare to hide the news of such a big defeat, so he also sent people to Pyongyang City as soon as possible, but thinking of the current situation in Goguryeo, he couldn't help but be very worried.

"Father, you still care about what Pyongyang City does, Quangai Suwen conspired against the usurpation, everyone should be punished, and the employment is unknown, so let Gao Yanshou lead the army, and now the 150,000 army is gone, I think our Goguryeo is really going to end, father, you have to make plans early!" Yang Pet complained with dissatisfaction at this time, and his last words were even more rebellious.

Yang Wanchun is a loyal and patriotic person, if he usually heard his son say the above words, I am afraid he would have slapped him a long time ago, but at this time he just frowned, and glanced at his son with displeasure, but then he shook his head helplessly and said: "The famous saying of the Central Plains is called 'the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king', although the king died at the hands of traitors, but we can't betray the country because of this, after all, if the Tang people occupy this place, I'm afraid they won't treat us Goguryeo people as people at all!" ”

"But now the Tang army is so strong, although Gao Yanshou is incompetent, but the entire 150,000 army was wiped out by them, which is enough to show that the Tang army is unstoppable, and now there are only more than 30,000 people in our city, how can we stop the Tang army's soldiers?" Yang Pet saw that his father didn't scold him, and he was much bolder at the moment, so he spoke again.

"It was 30,000 people before, but now it has received the previous defeated soldiers, so now there should be 40,000 defenders in the city, plus the people in the city can also be mobilized, and we have a city wall to rely on, so the Tang army may not have an advantage, not to mention that when Gao Yanshou arrived before, Pyongyang also transported a lot of materials, some of which were stored in the city, so we don't have to worry about the lack of materials, so as long as we work together, it is not impossible to block the Tang army." Yang Wanchun said calmly at this time.

"The Tang army has always been good at defending the city, and naturally it is better at attacking the city, the last time it was just a tentative attack, so that the city suffered a lot of losses, if they are determined to attack the city, I'm afraid our Anshi City will also be difficult to preserve!" Yang Pet persuaded again at this time.

"Okay, I know these things better than you, the king ordered me to stay in Anshi City, although the king is gone, but I will never live up to his entrustment!" Yang Wanchun also waved his hand impatiently at this time, as if he didn't want to hear his son say this anymore.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his father, Yang Pet couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, and he also knew that his father was extremely stubborn, as long as it was something he believed, even nine cows couldn't pull it back, so in the end he had no choice but to retreat.

After his son withdrew, Yang Wanchun couldn't help sighing, in fact, he also knew that when facing the Tang army, he didn't have the slightest certainty on his side, but now his Anshi City has become the last barrier of Goguryeo, and after losing the main army, Quangai Suwen also needs time to gather the second batch of troops, so even if he dies, he will drag the Tang army under Anshi City to death!

At the same time, Li Shimin rewarded the three armies in the barracks, and Cheng Yanjin's army had also joined them, making the strength of the Tang army reach more than 50,000 people, and after the previous big victory, the morale of the Tang army was high, and many people were clamoring to take Pyongyang City directly, but Anshi City was not taken into their eyes at all.

However, others can relax, but Li Xiu, who manages logistics, can't relax, because there are too many prisoners of war after this big victory, although these prisoners of war have no human rights, but they always have to give something to eat, and this is nearly 100,000 prisoners of war, and someone has to watch them in normal times, otherwise it will be bad if they explode.

"Your Majesty, if you want me to say that it is enough to kill them directly, after all, it is impossible for us to keep 100,000 prisoners of war all the time, rather than letting them waste food, it is better to slaughter them directly, saving time and effort!" Among the handsome tents, Cheng Yanjin was the first to express his opinion.

Although Cheng Biting Jin did not appear on the frontal battlefield in this war, he only copied Gao Yanshou's back road, but he was the main general in the army, so Li Ji and Li Daozong's achievements had to be shared with him in the end, and in the process of copying the back road, the soldiers under him also scraped a lot of oil and water, and it can be said that the benefits were exhausted, and he was proud of this for a long time.

"After all, the killing of prisoners is unknown, and it will damage Your Majesty's reputation if you say it, I think it is better to send it to the rear to deal with!" At this time, Li Ji stood up and suggested that the so-called sending to the rear for processing, the subtext of which is that it can be sent to a place like a coal mine to be a coolie, which is what Su Dingfang did before, and it is quite popular with people.

"Cough~, the minister also thinks that the killing of prisoners is unknown, and General Li's suggestion is very appropriate!" Li Xiu also stood up when he heard this, he remembered that in the original history, Li Shimin had to kill thousands of people because he couldn't afford to raise so many prisoners of war, and the rest of the prisoners of war could only be released, which was a pity.

Li Xiu is the chief officer in charge of logistics, and his words are also very weighty, so Li Shimin finally nodded after thinking about it, but at this time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but pout, he naturally knew what Li Ji and Li Xiu had in mind, but compared to sending them to the coal mine to work as coolies, he felt that it was easier to cut them directly, and this was more merciful to those Goguryeo prisoners of war, because the coal mine was not a place for people at all, not only the conditions were bad, but also very dangerous, It is estimated that these prisoners of war will not be able to get out of the coal mine alive in the end.

After discussing the prisoners of war, Li Shimin and the others discussed some chores in the army, and then began to discuss today's topic, only to see Li Shimin sit up straight at this time and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Gao Yanshou's army has been wiped out, and now there is only Anshi City left, which of you dares to take the order to attack Anshi City?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 20,000 troops and capture Anshi City within three days!" I saw Cheng Yanjin being the first to stand up at this time and say, as the chief general, he can't let Li Ji and these people do everything, and in his opinion, Anshi City must be panicked now, as long as he sends troops, he can take it almost effortlessly!
