Chapter 1078: Remnants
In the Liaodong City Guard, King Gaozang looked at the small courtyard in front of him, his face was gloomy, and in the small courtyard, there were bursts of wine from time to time, and bursts of laughter, which was Gai Suwen and his concubines looking for fun.
It has been three days since the defeat of the cavalry, and in three days, Gai Suwen has never been out of his mansion, and finally has fun with his concubine, the former brave and powerful General Gai Suwen has disappeared without a trace, as if he has been lost in the world of flowers. This made Takazo angry, angry, and even a little afraid. Even the mighty Gaisuwen gave up, is there still hope for Goguryeo? Once Liaodong is lost, Goguryeo's temple will be cut off, and Gozang will also be the place where death is buried.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have promised the damned Gai Suwen, it doesn't matter if he dies himself, and he will drag our entire Goguryeo into it. The king who is also harmed will surely die. Takazo's face was gloomy, his fists clenched, and he looked at the other side, his face hideous, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
Outside the city, Li Xin's army began to pile up earth mountains, although the earth mountains are not very high, but if it continues like this, it will only take ten days and half a month, and several earth mountains will appear outside Liaodong City. Liaodong, which has a tall city wall, will lose its geographical advantage, the enemy stands on the dirt mountain, looking down on Liaodong, and can launch an attack on Liaodong, how can Liaodong soldiers resist?
The Liaodong army, which lost its cavalry, basically did not dare to go out, and once it left the city, it would be attacked by Li Tang's cavalry, so to speak, the fall of Liaodong has become a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time when it will fall.
"Remember when the Liaodong city wall was built, there were still thousands of Han people, where are they now?" Gao Zang suddenly thought of a question, thought about it and said to the soldiers beside him.
"Inside the temple!" The soldiers around him hurriedly said: "I sent a team of 100 people to guard it strictly, and there can be no slightest neglect." ”
"Give them something to eat." Gao Zang thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Maybe our glimmer of life lies in these thousands of people. After all, resisting the Tang Dynasty is a decision made by Gai Suwen and has nothing to do with us. The Tang Emperor avenged the Central Plains soldiers, and we met the Central Plains soldiers and believed that the Tang Dynasty Emperor would not harm us. ”
"Yes." The soldiers glanced at Gao Zang, and there was a slight fear in their hearts, there were thousands of Central Plains soldiers in the temple, but what they had become after long-term work was also conceivable. Although they are well received now, the past grievances can be changed so easily. However, Gao Zang is right, anyway, things have come to this point, no matter how bad it is, where can it go! If you can't get it, you can really save your life!
In the temple, there are not a few monks left, here is a huge prison, about 4,000 people are imprisoned here, these people are the soldiers of the Central Plains, after the failure of Yang Guangdong's expedition, tens of thousands of prisoners were captured, these soldiers were either sent to the mine to work, or were sent to build the city, Xincheng, Liaodong is one of the representatives. Like Datang, he worked all day long, causing countless deaths and injuries to these soldiers, and now there are only more than 4,000 people, who are living in this temple, and they can't even eat, but they are lucky to be alive.
"General, the Goguryeo people are here again and have brought a lot of food." In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, a thin old man sat facing the Buddha statue, although the clothes on his body were ragged, but the momentum on his body was extremely terrifying, and a thin man next to him whispered.
They were part of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the old man was after the Xue clan in Hedong, called Xue Hu, speaking of which was Xue Wanche's cousin, after the war, he was captured by the Goguryeo people, and now he is trapped in Liaodong City.
"Hmph, now there is a battlefield outside the field in Liaodong, I think it was the Central Plains Dynasty that came over, and I don't know which dynasty it is?" Xue Hu sighed and said, "The last time I built the Liaodong City Wall, I once heard that there were only two families left in the Central Plains Dynasty, Li Xin and Li Yuan, but I didn't know that Li Yuan led a large army to come. Li Yuan's age is already old, maybe Li Yuan's son led the army to attack Liaodong, no matter who it is, I can't figure it out that we can return to the Central Plains this time. ”
"What about this Goguryeo? He said that he was a personal soldier of Gaozang, and that he had come to bring us food on the orders of Gaozang. The thin man whispered.
"Li Nong, I can't really get out this time, haha, Gao Zang, I killed countless Han people at the beginning, and at this time he actually wanted to come to slap us, what a big joke." Xue Hu laughed and said, "Tell the brothers that Liaodong will definitely be captured by us, Gao Zang wants to reconcile with us, and wants to ask us to intercede with His Majesty the Emperor of the Central Plains when Liaodong City is breached, so as to spare his life." It seems that Liaodong City is already in turmoil. ”
?“ What about these foods? Li Nong said in a low voice.
"Eat, why not? Don't eat, where do we have the spirit to fight? Xue Hu turned around, his thin body seemed to contain huge strength, and the original tiger power was faintly visible on his old face, one of his eyes was blind, but there was a flicker of madness in one eye.
"General." Li Nong's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty sent a large army to conquer Goguryeo, not only to fight for the world, but also to avenge our soldiers, now our opportunity has come, find a way to cooperate with the outside and seize Liaodong, what this Liaodong is like, you also know, if there is no cooperation with us, within half a year, the Central Plains Dynasty will definitely not be able to capture this place." Xue Hu said in a low voice: "There are four thousand people on our side, although there are no weapons, but we have people, we have fists, it is still okay to find an opportunity to create some chaos, if this fire is burned, the entire Liaodong City will be plunged into a sea of fire, and it will be easy to receive the army into the city at that time." Lao Tzu has been holding back for more than ten years, and it is not easy to find an opportunity at this time, how can he miss it? Tell the brothers that if you want to go back alive, stay here, and if you want to make meritorious contributions, then follow General Ben to make meritorious contributions. ”
"I believe that the brothers will definitely follow the general to kill them, and I wonder what kind of life we are living in Liaodong! It's all a day when some pigs and dogs are inferior, and now that Wang Shi is here, how can he make these Goguryeo dog cubs have a good time. Even if they are killed, Liaodong City will be burned to the ground. Li Nong said viciously.
Over the years, these heroic soldiers have suffered a lot in Goguryeo, and the resentment in Goguryeo's hearts is like a surging river, and now that they finally have a chance, how can they give up easily? Even if Gao Zang gets a little favor, it won't work. (To be continued.) )
