Chapter 1091: Infighting
"What's going on?" When Li Xiu and the others heard the shouting and killing on the mountain, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and they all showed puzzled expressions, but Li Ji and Li Daozong reacted immediately, and immediately ordered their soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy, they thought that it was the remnants of Goguryeo on the mountain who wanted to break through again.
However, to everyone's expectations, although there were constant shouts of killing on the top of the mountain, no Goguryeo people rushed down to kill, and at this time, Li Xiu finally reacted, and said in great surprise at the moment: "Could it be that the Goguryeo people on the mountain are fighting infighting?" ”
As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, everyone else also came to their senses, and then Li Shimin looked at Li Xiu, as if he had thought of something, and then quietly pulled him aside and whispered: "I remember that Gao Huizhen also retreated to the mountain with Gao Yanshou, do you think he really responded at this time?" ”
"It's really possible, if that's the case, I'm afraid this Gao Huizhen is also a stupid person, and His Majesty must not use this kind of person in the future!" Li Xiu also spoke again at this time.
Gao Huizhen secretly defected to Datang before, and passed information to Datang, and even agreed that when the two sides decided, they would raise troops to respond, but there was no movement yesterday, and of course Li Shimin didn't count on him, so he couldn't be disappointed.
But now there is a sudden chaos on the mountain, if it is really Gao Huizhen who raised troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, it can only show that the other party is too stupid and can't grasp the opportunity at all, if he raised troops on the battlefield yesterday, he will keep his promise, and Li Shimin will not treat him badly in the future, but now he and Gao Yanshou are trapped in the mountain, and there is no point in raising troops again at this time, and Li Shimin will not have any good impression of him, which also proves his stupidity again.
"I think so too, although I haven't seen this Gao Huizhen, but judging from his actions, this person is capricious and seems shrewd, but in fact he is short-sighted, but if he really takes refuge in our Datang, it will be somewhat useful, but it can't be reused, and someone must watch him, otherwise he may be bitten back in the future!" Li Shimin also sneered at this time and said, he didn't have a good impression of this Gao Huizhen who had never met.
"Your Majesty, it is certain that there is a civil strife on the mountain, should we take the opportunity to attack it?" At this moment, I saw Li Ji striding over and asking Li Shimin for instructions, the civil strife on the mountain is a good time to attack, after all, Li Shimin still wanted to solve the matter here as soon as possible, and then take advantage of this morale to take Anshi City in one fell swoop.
Hearing Li Ji's suggestion, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a heartfelt expression, but after thinking about it for a while, he sneered and shook his head and said: "Gao Yanshou has been forced into a desperate situation, even if there is no civil strife, he won't last long, so let's just sit at the bottom of the mountain and watch the play, no matter what the victory or defeat on the mountain, they have to send someone to contact us!" ”
Li Ji and Li Xiu also nodded when they heard Li Shimin's words, Gao Yanshou and the others on the mountain really didn't have any hope, although the Tang army could easily attack the mountain at this time, but it would also cause some casualties to itself, so it was not necessary at all, it was better to wait for the people above to divide the victory and defeat, and then the winner would take the initiative to surrender to his side.
There was turmoil on the mountain, and Li Shimin also gave up his intention to leave, so he simply rested here, and Li Ji gave up his tent. But they didn't wait, Li Shimin let people kill a few sheep, and then set up on the fire, and called Li Ji and Li Daozong and others over, everyone enjoyed the turmoil on the top of the mountain while eating barbecue, although it was dark and could not see clearly, but the shouting and killing on the top of the mountain has not stopped.
When it was the second watch, the shouting and killing on the top of the mountain finally stopped, and it seemed that the winner had been divided, and after a while, the top of the mountain really sent people to ask for a meeting, and Li Shimin immediately asked people to bring people to him, but they did not stop eating and drinking, and they didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.
After a while, he saw a tall and thin middle-aged man striding over, with a long face and a thin eyes and a hooked nose, looking quite gloomy, when he came here and saw Li Shimin and Li Ji and others, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he thought that he could see the Tang generals stationed at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't expect so many people at once, and there was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing at the top, and the people around him seemed to be quite in awe of him, but the other party was not wearing armor, and it seemed that he was not a general in the army?
"When you see my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, don't kneel down and salute!" Seeing this, he was stunned, only to see Li Daozong snort coldly at this time, and at the same time pointed out Li Shimin's identity.
Hearing that the middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be the legendary Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this middle-aged man was also startled, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The last general Gao Mingzhen greets His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"Gao Mingzhen? What is your relationship with Gao Huizhen? Li Shimin glanced at the other party lightly at this time and asked.
"Your Majesty, Gao Hui is really my brother!" Gao Mingzhen replied again at the moment, although he was a Goguryeo, but he spoke Chinese quite standardly, in fact, Goguryeo and Silla and other countries have always admired the culture of the Central Plains, so most of the nobles knew Chinese.
"Hehe, so it seems that your brother won just now?" Li Shimin couldn't help but smile again when he heard this.
"Your Majesty is wise, originally my brother wanted to respond to the soldiers yesterday, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity, until today when Gao Yanshou summoned the generals to discuss breaking through, my brother found an opportunity to capture Gao Yanshou and other major generals in one fell swoop, and now I am waiting for Your Majesty's fate!" Gao Mingkong immediately spoke again.
"Since your brother has taken control of the situation on the mountain, let him bring Gao Yanshou and the others to see me!" Li Shimin said lightly again at this time, Gao Huizhen had obviously won, but he didn't dare to go down the mountain in person, but only sent Gao Mingzhen down the mountain, probably to test the reaction of his side.
"This ......" Gao Mingzhen heard that Li Shimin asked his brother to go down the mountain immediately, and immediately showed a hesitant expression, and only after a while did he speak, "Your Majesty, my brother has long decided to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and I don't know the conditions that Datang has set before......"
Gao Mingzhen deliberately stopped and was silent in the end, but waited for Li Shimin's reaction, after all, when Gao Huizhen decided to join Datang, Datang also offered a lot of conditions, so he also wants to ask now, will Datang honor the previous conditions?
"I will not lose my word, but your brothers must also show their sincerity and don't let me down!" Li Shimin immediately spoke again, but when he said these words, he also secretly sneered, if it weren't for Gao Huizhen's still some usefulness, I'm afraid he wouldn't have kept this kind of villain at all.
