Chapter 1083 Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen
The time has entered May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but there is a huge army in the east of Anshi City is speeding up to this side, first the army of the vanguard arrived, and then called open the gate of Anshi City, although Li Ji has already arrived at Anshi City, but there is no siege, so the city can also enter and exit freely.
With the arrival of the front army, the army behind it also arrived at Anshi City in a steady stream, and this army was also the reinforcement sent by Quangai Suwen, the number was as high as 150,000, but it was claimed to be 250,000, almost doubled, speaking of which the Goguryeo people learned from the Central Plains everywhere, and even the use of troops was the same.
At noon, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, who commanded the army, finally arrived here, speaking of which the surname Gao is the royal family of Goguryeo, and Gao Yanshou and the two are indeed from the royal family, but they have always been loyal to Quangai Suwen, before Quangai Suwen launched a coup d'état to kill King Rongliu, these two people also made a lot of efforts from it, so they were also very trusted by Quangai Suwen, and this time they were appointed to lead reinforcements to rescue Anshi City.
The city lord of Anshi is surnamed Yang Wanchun, he has always been the confidant of King Rongliu, and after the death of King Rongliu, he also fought a battle with Quangai Suwen, but now facing the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, he had to let go of the hatred in his heart and temporarily cooperate with Quangai Suwen, after all, in comparison, now the threat of the Tang Dynasty is also more direct, if the entire Goguryeo is occupied by the Tang Dynasty, then there is no point in them fighting again.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that although Yang Wanchun dislikes Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen very much, he must not suppress the disgust in his heart at this time, and personally go out of the city to meet each other, after all, they still have to fight against the Tang army together, and he will also introduce some necessary situations, so as not to suffer losses for Gao Yanshou, after all, this 150,000 army is Goguryeo's biggest reliance to defeat the Tang army.
Yang Wanchun didn't like Gao Yanshou and the two, and similarly, Gao Yanshou and the two didn't like Yang Wanchun either, so his attitude was also very cold, and even when Yang Wanchun went out of the city to greet them, the two of them didn't show up, but only sent someone to invite each other to meet in their big tent, which made Yang Wanchun also annoyed, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and came to Gao Yanshou's handsome tent.
Gao Yanshou is a typical Goguryeo, stout but not tall, with a big cake face, a beard full of cheeks, and a shrewd light in his slender eyes, when he saw Yang Wanchun come in, he showed a smiling smile on his face and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, but the demeanor of Yang City Lord is still the same!" ”
Gao Yanshou is in the northern part of Goguryeo's official residence, the so-called Gansa, in fact, is an official position in Goguryeo, the status is equivalent to the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and he holds the military and political power of a place, while Gao Huizhen next to him is the official governor of the south, it can be said that the status of the two in Goguryeo is only below Quangai Suwen.
The last time Quan Gai Suwen attacked Anshi City, the two of them also led troops to come, but they met under Anshi City and their heads were bleeding, so they naturally didn't have a good impression of Yang Wanchun.
"Hehe, the city lord of Yang is now the mainstay of our Goguryeo, the city in front of it has almost all fallen under the attack of the Tang army, but it has been blocked under the city of Anshi, when we came, Da Mo Lizhi was also full of praise for the city lord of Yang!" At this moment, I saw Gao Huizhen, who was sitting next to Gao Yanshou, opening his mouth in a strange manner.
Gao Hui is really a tall and thin middle-aged man, his face has to be relatively long, but he has a pair of triangular eyes, which looks quite gloomy, in fact, this person's scheming is very heavy, it is said that when Quangai Suwen launched a coup d'état, it was from his plan.
"I've praised Lu Mu, but now is not the time to talk about this, let's talk about Tang Jun!" Yang Wanchun also said with a cold expression at this time, these two people did not welcome him, so he also wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible and go back early.
Hearing that Yang Wanchun commensurate Quangai Suwen with his original official position of "Da Zhu Lu", rather than Quangai Suwen's self-styled "Da Mo Lizhi", this made Gao Yanshou's face sink, because this showed that Yang Wanchun did not recognize Quangai Suwen's own official position at all, and he had no intention of taking refuge in Quangai Suwen at all.
Gao Hui was really scheming, and he knew that now was not the time to care about this, so he spoke up first at this time: "Okay, we want to hear it, what does City Lord Yang have of Tang Jun?" ”
"Gao Jian can't talk about it, but this time the Tang army is menacing, and the prosperity of the soldiers is really difficult to resist, so my opinion is that your army depends on the city as a wall, and then it can't be held, as long as it survives until the autumn and winter season, then the Tang army will naturally retreat without a fight!" Yang Wanchun said lightly.
Yesterday, the Tang army only made a tentative attack, causing great casualties to their city, and the city wall was even almost blown apart by firearms, which made him have a clear understanding of the Tang army's combat strength, even if Gao Yanshou brought 150,000 troops now, he was not confident that he could fight the Tang army head-on, so it was the most correct decision to hold on.
"Hehe, we brought an army of 150,000, but the Tang army on the opposite side is only 50,000, or even less, the turtle that the city lord himself wants to shrink his head can't make everyone like you!" Gao Yanshou had been holding his breath since just now, and he couldn't help but sneer at this time.
"You~" Yang Wanchun was also angry when he heard Gao Yanshou's words, but when he thought of the Tang army opposite, he couldn't help but suppress his anger again, and then said coldly, "Don't take yourself too seriously, what about the 150,000 army, the Turks were known as a million soldiers, and they were not destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and yesterday the Tang army tentatively launched an attack, which has already caused huge casualties in our city, if you go out of the city to fight head-on, I'm afraid my army can't even support it for an hour!" ”
Yang Wanchun also knew the severity, although he was very disgusted with Gao Yanshou and the two in his heart, he still advised them to be cautious when facing the Tang army, after all, everything must be focused on the overall situation, and the Tang army was on an expedition, and the pressure on logistics must be great, of course, they were not easy, but after all, this is the mainland of Goguryeo, and there is Pyongyang City as a support in the rear, so as long as they can't hold out, the Tang army on the opposite side will definitely be more unaffordable than them.
"Oh? Since the Tang army had already begun to attack the city yesterday, why didn't you see the Tang army today? Gao Huizhen suddenly interjected at this time and asked, their vanguard arrived at Anshi City in the morning, and then reconnoitred everywhere, but he did not find any Tang troops around Anshi City, which he has always been very strange.
"Tang Jun ......" When Yang Wanchun heard Gao Huizhen ask about Tang Jun, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "After the Tang Army attacked yesterday, it retreated overnight!" ”
