"What?" Hearing his father say that he would personally lead the troops to Bogoukou, Quan Nanjian and Quan Nanjian couldn't help but show surprised expressions, and then saw Quan Nanjian speak first, "Father, how can you have such an idea, although Bogoukou is dangerous, but after all, it is not as strong as Pyongyang City, why does my father seek the near and far?" ”

"It's not that I'm going to go far, but I've thought about it carefully, Pyongyang City is high and deep, it can be called a famous fortified city in the world, with such a fortified city, it seems that there is a great hope of blocking the Tang army, as long as it drags on until winter, then the Tang army will have to retreat."

When he said this, he saw Quan Gai Suwen pause for a moment and then said: "But don't forget, when it comes to the strongest cities in the world, you have to count the big cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, the boy has been to the Tang Dynasty, he should have seen such a big city, right?" ”

Hearing his father suddenly ask about himself, Quan Nan was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and said: "Yes, I once had the honor to see Luoyang City, before I saw Luoyang City, I always thought that Pyongyang was the strongest and tallest city in the world, but when I saw Luoyang, I realized that Pyongyang is too different from it, and even some less famous cities in the Central Plains can be compared with our Pyongyang City." ”

"Yes, the difference between the national strength of our Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty is too great, even if it is a capital like Pyongyang, it is just a very ordinary city in the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains have always been good at building strong cities, so they are also good at defending cities, on the other hand, those who are good at defending cities must also be good at attacking cities, which you can see from the achievements of the Tang Army, even if it is Anshi City, but it only lasted for half a month, and most of the other cities can't even hold out for ten days, how long do you think our Pyongyang can last?" Quan Gai Suwen couldn't help but ask rhetorically at the end.

Hearing his father's words, Quan Nan and Quan Nanjian couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while, in fact, although what Quan Gai Suwen said was true, but as Goguryeo people, it was not easy for them to truly realize from the bottom of their hearts that Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty were far apart.

Especially because of the former Sui Dynasty, the army of the Central Plains was defeated by Goguryeo three times, and the Jingguan with the bones of the army was still on the east bank of Liaoshui, which made the Goguryeo people have a psychological advantage in the face of the Tang army, and felt that the Central Plains people were just like this, and even Quangai Suwen had such a mentality, so he would send Gao Yanshou to lead an army of 150,000 to take the initiative to meet the enemy, which led to the fiasco of Anshi City.

However, the annihilation of the 150,000 army also woke up Quangai Suwen, after a few days of calm thinking, he finally faced up to the gap between his side and the Tang army, and also understood that although Pyongyang City was strong, but in comparison, the dangerous terrain on the side of Bogoukou was more favorable to them, so he made the decision to personally lead troops to garrison Bogoukou, if even Bogoukou could not stop the Tang army, it could only be said that God was going to kill them Goguryeo.

"Father, is there really no other way?" Quan boy pondered for a moment at this time, and finally raised his head and asked with a sad face, as the eldest son, he is also the person who knows Quan Gai Suwen best, and even he has already guessed at this time that Quan Gai Suwen went to Shou Bo Goukou this time, I am afraid that he has already carried the heart of death.

"The Tang army is menacing, and the Tang emperor is also ambitious, bent on destroying our Goguryeo, now that the Tang army has the advantage, they will naturally not retreat easily, we can no longer fight hard!" Quangai Suwen also sighed at this time and said, originally he killed Queen Rongliu, thinking that he could become the first person in Goguryeo, but he didn't expect that in less than a year, he would attract a large-scale attack by the Tang army, and maybe even Goguryeo would die in his hands.

"Father, the people of the Central Plains have always liked false names, so can you send someone to sue for peace, send some money and beauties at that time, and even cede some land to the other party, maybe you can let the Tang army retreat?" Izumi suggested again at this time.

"You are too naïve, the reason why Datang is determined to destroy us is not to covet the money and land in our hands, but because the former Sui was defeated by our Goguryeo, so Datang wants to prove that they are stronger than the former Sui, it can be said that in the eyes of Datang, we are the touchstone of the Central Plains Dynasty, either Datang will cut off our touchstone, or the knife in Datang's hand will be broken, there is no second possibility!" Quan Gai Suwen sneered when he heard his son's words.

Hearing his father's words, Quan Nan couldn't help but show a hesitant expression, and after a long while, he tentatively spoke again: "If the Tang Dynasty is determined to destroy us, and with the current situation in China, it is really powerless to resist the Tang Army, so I think it is better to ......."

"Shut up!" Before the Quan boy finished speaking, Quan Gai Suwen interrupted him with an angry roar, because he knew what his son was going to say, and then said very angrily, "Our Quan family boy stands up to the sky, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not humiliate his ancestors, but if he surrenders to the enemy on his knees, what face will he have in the world in the future?" ”

Quan Gai Suwen has a strong temperament, and he has never thought about surrender in his mind, so when he heard that his son had the intention of surrendering, he was immediately angry in his heart, and when Quan boy saw his father angry, he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Quan Nanjian next to him saw his eldest brother being scolded, and he couldn't help but show a little happy expression on his face, and he naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity to perform, so he immediately spoke: "What my father said is that our Quan family men must not surrender, and this time the Tang Army was originally under the banner of avenging King Rongliu, so even if we are willing to surrender, I am afraid that the Tang Army will not let us go!" ”

Hearing these words of the second son, the anger on Quan Gai Suwen's face also decreased a little, and he nodded and said: "Nanjian, you are quite knowledgeable, there must be many people in China secretly contacting Datang now, I also know all this, but others can surrender, but I must not surrender, and Datang will not let me surrender, so we can only fight to the death!" ”

"The father forgives his sins, but the son knows his mistakes!" Quan boy heard his father praise his younger brother, and immediately hurriedly admitted his mistake, although he is the eldest son, but Quan Nanjian is the most loved by his father, because he not only looks like his father, but also has a very similar personality, so he is usually very valued by his father, and even the military power has been handed over to him, which makes Quan boy also feel a sense of crisis.

If it was placed in normal times, Quan Gai Suwen would probably scold the Quan boy fiercely, but today he didn't seem to be in the mood to scold, and said again at the moment: "Forget it, you don't have to mention any surrender in the future, this time I will lead the troops to Bogoukou, and the male will go with me, and the Pyongyang City side will be handed over to the boy!" ”

"Father, don't worry, I will never let any chaos happen in Pyongyang!" Seeing that his father was not to blame, but also handed over all the matters in the rear to himself, Quan Nanjian was overjoyed, and immediately assured loudly, which made Quan Nanjian also glared at his eldest brother with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't have to worry about your ability, the Tang army is menacing this time, and I don't know when they will kill Bogoukou, so I decided to leave in three days, and your most important task at that time is to ensure the smooth logistics, so that we can have more confidence to block the Tang army!" At this time, Quan Gai Suwen once again admonished, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, especially for defending the city, more materials are needed, so there must be no problems in logistics.

"My son understands that he will definitely do his best to protect the supplies of the former army!" Izumi boy reassured.

"Big brother, my father and I are all in your hands, you must not let us down then!" At this moment, I saw Quan Nanjian suddenly speak, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

"Second brother, don't worry, I can still tell the priorities of the matter, I wish my father and second brother a victorious return here!" The Izumi boy didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Izumi Nanjian's words, and said with a smile at the moment.

Quan Nanjian touched a soft nail, and felt a little bored at the moment, but Quan Gai Suwen glared at the two sons at this time, and then discussed with them the specific matter of leading the troops to Bogoukou, which made the two brothers of Quan Nanjian also put away their hostile attitude, expressed their opinions and opinions one after another, and finally made a plan.

After the matter was discussed, it was already noon, and Quan Gai Suwen asked people to prepare lunch, and then had a meal accompanied by his two sons, perhaps because of the decision, so Quan Gai Suwen also felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and he had a very good lunch.

After eating, Quan Nan and Quan Nan Jian were about to say goodbye and leave, but at this time, Quan Gai Suwen suddenly said: "Nan Jian, you go back first, let the army be ready to leave, boy, you stay, I have something to say to you!" ”

Hearing that his father actually left Quan Nanjian alone, Quan Nanjian couldn't help but show a surprised expression, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he agreed and left, and then Quan Gai Suwen took Quan Boy to his study, and then said: "Boy, do you know why I want you to stay in Pyongyang City?" ”

"This ...... Didn't my father put me in charge of the rear so as to ensure the supply of logistics? Quan boy couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his father's words, and then asked rhetorically.

"Ensuring the supply of logistics is only one thing, and I have one more important thing to tell you!" I saw that Quan Gai Suwen suddenly sighed at this time, and his expression became a little gloomy.

"What's the matter?" Izumi couldn't help but look surprised when he heard his father's words.

I saw that Quangai Suwen seemed to be very entangled at this time, and after a long while, he sighed again and said: "Bogoukou is our last hope, but in case we are also defeated, you don't care about Pyongyang City anymore, and immediately lead your henchmen to flee to Marudu City!" ”
