Chapter 134: Promise Him
On the evening of the ninth day of the first month of May, Yizhi Wende arrived at the battlefield of the Dading River, however, he was still a step late after all, just when he was going to cross the river overnight to rescue Quan Baicao, who were fighting fiercely on the north bank, it seemed that the first Buyi and Gai Bao heard the bad news, the whole army of Quan Baicao was annihilated, and the enemy army had begun to retreat on all fronts. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Shocked and angry, it was his mistake to underestimate the enemy and inflict heavy losses on his side, but he did not believe that the enemy army still had strong combat effectiveness. Kill 1,000 enemies, self-loss 800, even if the enemy army has an absolute advantage in strength in the battle, but continuous combat, and it is still a siege and annihilation battle, the size of his own losses can be imagined, so he thinks that his "two defeats" plan has been successful, and then as long as he firmly drags the enemy army, so that the enemy army is in a dilemma, he can grasp the enemy's food and grass to continue the vital point, to give the enemy a fatal blow.
Eulzhi Wende ordered all units to cross the river overnight and set up a decisive battle on the north bank of the Dading River, so as not to give the enemy a chance to breathe.
On the morning of the 10th day of the fifth month, the king of Qi accepted the persuasion of Li Zixiong, Han Shige and others, and erected the royal banner to "boost" morale and deter the Goguryeo people.
Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng tried their best to dissuade them, saying that this was a 'yin' trick by the Andong people, and the purpose was to use the king of Qi as a 'lure' bait to firmly attract the Goguryeo army to the Dading River battlefield and create a better opportunity for Li Fengyun to attack Pyongyang. This plan looks good, but the king of Qi is a 'lure' bait, and the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of the Goguryeo people are too great, and once the Goguryeo people hear the wind and come all over the world, it will be very unfavorable to the safety of the king of Qi.
King Qi hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he repeatedly rejected the advice of Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng. At this moment, the war has entered a critical moment, the arrow has been wound, and it has to be sent, once it goes back on its word, it will trigger internal conflicts, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Upon hearing the news, Ezhi Wende was very surprised and immediately crossed the Dading River and went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation.
Previously, he judged that this long-distance enemy army was commanded by the famous Middle-earth general Xue Shixiong, if the truth exceeded his imagination, the commander of this enemy army turned out to be the king of Qi in Middle-earth, the only concubine of the emperor of Middle-earth, then the situation would be far more serious than previously estimated, and his side must immediately make a new assessment of the battle situation and come up with new countermeasures.
After verifying the enemy's situation, Eulji Mundeok immediately ordered to suspend the attack and defend with all his might, and at the same time summoned the commanders of all departments to hold an emergency military meeting, and urgently reported to King Gao Yuan, Pyongyang Gao Jianwu and Jiang Yiwei of the Yalu Water Defense Line.
The Goguryeo army did not attack, and the Middle-earth army was of course happy, and easily won a respite, which was too precious for the exhausted Andong soldiers.
On the 10th day of the first month of May, Li Fengyun led the army of Feng Feng to kill under the city of Pyongyang. Pyongyang was shocked and terrified.
Gao Jianwu realized that the situation was critical. Now Goguryeo's western important towns of Liaodong and Wugu Zhucheng are surrounded by enemy troops, Jiang Yiwei and his defenders on the western front are firmly pinned down by the enemy on the Yalu River line, while the defenders of Eulji Wende and Qingchuan are pinned down on both sides of the Dading River by the enemy troops who have been rushing to the city for a long time.
Gao Jianwu made a decision on the spot, and before the enemy army completely surrounded Pyongyang, he sent a number of envoys to Chang'an and Cheongcheon to report to the kings Gao Yuan and Eulji Bundeok respectively.
Gao Jianwu has no confidence in holding on to Pyongyang, at present, Pyongyang is not only insufficient in defense, but also the surrender faction and rebels are also stupid 'want', especially the rebels, hidden very deeply, once the front of the battle defects or raise troops to mutiny, Pyongyang will lose, so Gao Jianwu warned Gao Yuan that it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Chang'an City, especially to be careful of internal rebellion, and not to be negligent and taken advantage of. He also implored Eulchi Wende that if he wants to reverse the crisis at present, the only way to defeat the opponent on the battlefield of Dading River, as long as he defeats this enemy army that has come from a long distance, the enemy army that surrounds Pyongyang will lose support and will definitely break the siege, so Gao Jianwu suggested to Eulchi Wende that he should fight at any cost, even if the Qingchuan defenders are finished, after all, the enemy's "vital point" is very obvious, and their own chances of victory are very large, and the current competition between the two sides is time, and what the enemy lacks is time, so Gao Jianwu made a guarantee to Eulchi Wende, In the short term, he is sure that he will hold Pyongyang, and it will not be a problem for ten days and a half. The enemy army could not hold out for ten days and a half months in the face of a serious shortage of food, grass and weapons, and the victory must have belonged to Goguryeo.
However, Gao Jianwu did not arrive anyway, and his good wish to hold on to "ten days and a half months" was shattered on the first night of the enemy's siege of Pyongyang.
On the evening of the 10th day of the first month of May, Huyanjian and An Beihai, who had disappeared for a long time, walked into Li Fengyun's military tent.
At the beginning of the year, Hu Yanjian and other secret soldiers and the 500 heavenly wolf 'jing' cavalry guards, on the orders of Li Fengyun, disguised themselves as the guards of the Lite caravan, and under the leadership of the Lite giant Jia Antel, they traveled a long way to Goguryeo and entered the city of Pyongyang without danger. Soon, Middle-earth began to attack Goguryeo for the third time, and the smoke rose again, and the return route was cut off, and Andriol's caravan had to stay in Pyongyang, so it successfully completed the hidden mission.
Now that they have finally looked forward to Li Fengyun and Andong's army, the next step is to attack Pyongyang with both inside and outside.
After a brief greeting between the two sides, Li Fengyun opened the 'door' and asked bluntly, "As early as the beginning of the year, a certain person said that whether you can successfully complete the task on this trip directly determines the survival of Anton. Now, so-and-so has arrived, and can you tell so-and-so that you have successfully completed your mission? β
Hu Yanjian and An Beihai looked at each other and nodded in unison, but their eyes showed a look of hesitation and worry, which couldn't help but make Li Fengyun's heart suddenly hang.
"Mission accomplished?" Li Fengyun asked again.
"Brother Anxin, we have indeed completed the task, but it's just ......," Hu Yanjian hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's just that the result is quite different from Ming Gong's expectations. β
Li Fengyun's brows furrowed, and he had already guessed in a flash, "What's the solution?" β
"Gao Yuan's uncle, Gao Ling, was an envoy of Goguryeo and rushed to the desert tent several times, so he knew Andriol and had interests between the two sides." Hu Yanjian said, "The key to our mission is this Gaoling. β
Li Fengyun understood and immediately asked, "Did Gao Ling take the initiative to find Andriol, or did Andriol actively lobby Gao Ling?" β
An Beihai immediately replied, "After the two sides tried it in advance, they hit it off. β
Li Fengyun bowed slightly, groaned a little, and asked, "What are the conditions for Gaoling?" β
"Keep your home and keep your country." Hu Yanjian's words are concise and to the point, just four words, to put it bluntly, it is to protect the Goguryeo Kingdom and the fundamental interests of the Gao royal family, which is completely contrary to Li Fengyun's expectations. Li Fengyun's expected goal was to destroy Goguryeo, slaughter the Gao royal family, and completely wipe out the Goguryeo clan.
Li Fengyun smiled, and his smile was very cold, which made Hu Yanjian and An Beihai secretly panic.
"Why does Gao Ling believe in so-and-so's promise?" Li Fengyun went straight to the "key point".
Hu Yanjian was silent. An Beihai saw that Hu Yanjian didn't mean to speak, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Because of Anton's survival." β
Li Fengyun's eyes 'revealed' and questioned the 'color'.
An Beihai continued, "Ming Gong poured all his strength into Anton's attack on Goguryeo, he could only win and not lose, and if he lost Anton, it would be over, and Ming Gong would give up all his previous achievements, and Ming Gong led his army to attack for a long time, and the fatal point was that there was a serious shortage of food, grass and weapons, and he could only fight quickly, and he couldn't afford to delay, and he would definitely lose if he didn't fight for a long time, so Gao Ling was sure that Ming Gong would definitely agree to his conditions and would definitely fulfill his promise." β
Li Fengyun nodded. Gaoling was in a high position in Goguryeo, and won the trust and reliance of Gotang and Gaoyuan father and son, so if such a person wanted to surrender the city, no one in Pyongyang could stop him, but there would be gains and losses, and it was precisely because of Goryung's high power, deep power, and strong strength in Goguryeo, that he also had the "capital" to protect Goguryeo.
At this point, Li Fengyun had no choice. First of all, he needs to take Pyongyang in the shortest possible time, get the grain and grass weapons in Pyongyang City, and then Anton's army can hold on to the battlefield of Dading River and achieve the final victory, and to do this, he can only cooperate with Gao Ling, if he is treacherous, the two sides turn against each other and fight, Gao Ling is desperate to use the means of burning the 'jade' stone, the consequences are unimaginable, and in the end, even if Li Fengyun "laughs to the end", Anton may not get the maximum benefits as he wishes, once Anton's army suffers heavy losses, In the end, it is not known whether he can escape the calculations of the Holy Lord and the center and kill him from all sides surrounded by Yuwenshu, and what is more serious is that what will Anton do next? The Civil War is about to begin, where will the dying Anton go?
After weighing it for a long time, Li Fengyun opened his mouth and asked, "How should Gao Yuan deal with it?" β
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yanjian and An Beihai, who were nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Fengyun compromised, things would be easy to handle, and the situation would be clear.
"Goguryeo has come to the end of the road, and Gao Yuan, as the king, of course has to bear all the responsibility." An Beihai said, "But Gao Ling put forward a non-negotiable condition. β
"On what terms?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Does he still want to save Gao Yuan's 'life'?" β
"That's not it, Ming Gong is too worried." An Beihai said with a smile, "Gao Ling's condition is that he will fight Chang'an City, and Gao Yuan will be arrested, and then he will send Gao Yuan to the Emperor of Middle-earth to ask for guilt, as for Gao Yuan's life and death, it will be decided by the Emperor of Middle-earth." β
"This is obviously to save Gao Yuan's 'life'." Li Fengyun shook his hand, "This condition cannot be agreed." β
An Beihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Ming Gong, Gaoling has one more condition. β
"This Gao Ling is very powerful, and he even guessed that a certain person would not leave Gao Yuan's 'life'." Li Fengyun said disdainfully, "What additional conditions?" What other means can Gao Ling use to blackmail someone? β
"In the Battle of Sasu, the Goguryeo captured about sixty or seventy thousand soldiers in Middle-earth." An Beihai said, "In the past two years, 10,000 or 20,000 have died due to injuries and other reasons, but there are still more than 50,000 captives dying in the poor mountains and bad waters of Tutai Mountain. Gaoling's additional condition was the life and death of these 50,000 Middle-earth captives. β
Li Fengyun finished his murderous 'Lu', and waved his hand without thinking, "Promise him, promise all the conditions of Gaoling." β
