Chapter 1046: Strike back

"Quick, kill it, you can't go Gai Suwen." In the night sky, the big river under his feet was turbulent, but there was a loud roar of Cheng biting Jin, he was in a happy mood, he thought that crossing the river would be a bitter battle, a bloody battle, and even had been prepared, he was ready to be injured, but he didn't expect that the development of things was beyond his expectations, Li Xin was already prepared before the war, and sent Su Dingfang to kill from the Turks into Liaodong, taking advantage of the night, launched a surprise attack on the Goguryeo camp, killing Gai Suwen by surprise, and the camp fell into chaos.

"Datang will win!" On another pontoon bridge, Luo Shixin rode a tall horse, and countless soldiers followed closely behind him, his eyes flashed red, every time he fought behind Li Xin, it was very easy, this time it was the same, the script had been written, everyone just had to follow the script. Luo Shixin only needs to show his martial arts, where can such a good thing be found. Not only Luo Shixin, but also the soldiers behind Luo Shixin, waving the weapons in their hands and letting out bursts of shouts. The sound had already resounded on both sides of the White Wolf Water, and in the night sky, only a group of torches whistled by, and everyone killed Su Dingfang's camp.

Looking at the shouting and killing on the opposite side, on the embankment on the west bank of the White Wolf Water, piles of bonfires had already risen around Li Xin, illuminating the surrounding dozens of zhang radius, Li Xin was wearing a big hat, but he was holding Fang Tian's halberd in one hand, beside him, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Yuancheng were also riding war horses, looking at the battle on the other side, but the faces of the two were different.

The eldest grandson Wuji was smiling, touching his beard from time to time, such an easy battle could end soon, Su Dingfang's sudden attack showed that the Tang Emperor had already made arrangements, no wonder he waited until a few days ago to build a pontoon bridge. Not only to confuse Gai Suwen on the other side, but also to confuse the enemies who were far away in Lulongse, the funny thing is that those enemies still thought that Li Xinhui would run out of food because of his own conspiracy, and finally had to make peace with many families, but unfortunately. They still misunderstood His Majesty the Tang Emperor, when the war with Goguryeo had just begun, Li Xin had already prepared all this, and let Su Dingfang lead the army to detour through the grassland.

Wei Yuancheng was desolate in his heart, the last hope of the family was probably ruined at this time, and the funny thing was that those big families were probably still daydreaming at home at this time, but they didn't know that at this moment, the Tang army had defeated Su Dingfang and crossed the White Wolf Water. It will be Liucheng and other cities, and Gai Suwen, who has lost a lot of strength, will definitely not stay in Liucheng, and Liaodong City on the bank of the Liao River is his last barrier. It's just that at that time, I don't know how much strength Gai Suwen still has.

"Your Majesty, General Luo Shixin has landed on the shore." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly cheered, pointed to the other side of the white wolf water, and said, "General Luo has sent a signal. ”

"Good." Li Xin nodded, but with a sigh on his mouth, he said, "It's a pity, if I hadn't become this emperor." I really want to lead the charge myself. "He misses the feeling of charging in a foreign land. Far more enjoyable than coming in the Central Plains, in a foreign land, Li Xin can kill freely, how can he care about what the world is saying?

"Your Majesty is in danger of the world, how can you charge into battle, not to mention that the water of the white wolf is rising now. If so, how? Wei Yuancheng said that in such a short period of time, he had given up all kinds of ideas in his heart, and His Majesty the Emperor had made all kinds of arrangements. These arrangements are enough to make those families die thousands of times, so why should the Wei family bury these people! Now that he is a scholar of the Wude Palace, it is impossible to go further, even if he changes to an emperor? The Wei family won't get much benefit, so it is better to seriously assist Li Xin.

"It's not that serious." Li Xin felt the loyalty in Wei Yuancheng's words, and nodded approvingly.

Li Xin, who has already become the emperor, no longer cares about any betrayal, as long as your strength is very strong, the people below will not betray at all, if the strength is not enough, it is impossible for you not to let him betray.

The army quickly crossed the White Wolf Water, and the troops who followed Li Xin were all strong generals, such as Li Xiaogong and Liu Heimin, who could only be regarded as second-rate, which shows that in the Tang Empire, there were only many generals in the early army.

Li Xin did not cross the White Wolf Water at night, but waited until the next morning to cross the White Wolf Water, at this time the White Wolf Water was full of blood, countless dead bodies on the river, countless Goguryeo soldiers were killed and wounded, and the 100,000 army followed Gai Suwen back to Liucheng with only 30,000 or 40,000 people.

Originally, the place where Gai Suwen was stationed had become a scorched earth, and Li Xin's combat boots stepped on the shore of the White Wolf Water, and he saw tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers kneeling densely on the shore, these soldiers were pale, and their eyes were full of fear. He knew that his life was in the hands of the man in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we have captured a total of 23,168 Goguryeo soldiers in this battle, and the rest of the soldiers have already been killed." Su Dingfang led the generals to bow to the ground and said loudly.

"The generals will be flat." Li Xin nodded, he knew that there were actually thousands of seriously injured Goguryeo soldiers, but Su Dingfang did not leave these people's lives, but directly killed all these people, so there were these soldiers in front of him.

"Your Majesty, what to do with these captives, please ask Your Majesty to decide." Su Dingfang stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Su Dingfang burned a lot of grain and grass when he left, if he left these people, I am afraid that it will cause us to have not enough grain and grass. ”

After hearing this, the nearby Goguryeo soldiers were even more frightened, these people had already occupied Liaodong, and some people had learned some simple Chinese, and after hearing Su Dingfang's words, they immediately shouted loudly.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor spares his life! His Majesty the Great Emperor spares his life! ”

The voice was poignant, and it made people feel sorry for it, and they couldn't help but look at Li Xin secretly.

"Hmph, how did these guys kill my Central Plains soldiers back then, now it's their turn, and they are also scared, Your Majesty, Lao Cheng thinks that these captives can't be kept, and it's a waste of food to keep them." Cheng Yanjin said loudly. He did not participate in the Liaodong War that year, but some of the situation of the Liaodong War still spread to the ground in Shandong. The army came along the way, and often saw the Han people who were killed, which was also the night of the army's fighting last night. Whoever was seriously wounded was killed.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is eager to kill these Goguryeo soldiers, but the minister thinks that according to the old rules, let these Goguryeo soldiers build Chidao, from Lulongsai to all parts of Liaodong, Chidao ministers think that they should repair it and strengthen the Tang Dynasty's control over Liaodong." The eldest grandson Wuji said loudly: "Although killing these soldiers can avenge the soldiers who died in the previous battle. However, being able to make the most of these captives can help us do many inconvenient things, and to severely enslave these captives and squeeze these captives, I think this is the most correct choice. ”

If it was another captive of the rebellion, the eldest grandson Wuji might not have pleaded like this, but he knew that Li Xin hated the people of Goguryeo very much, and he wanted to kill the people of Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the auxiliary machine said is very true." Wei Yuancheng also spoke.

"That being the case. Just detain these people temporarily, let Yan Liben supervise the affairs of the Chidao in Liaodong, and after the Chidao is completed, presumably these people have also been transformed, so let them go back! Li Xin said very calmly.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were cold in their hearts, and secretly felt sorry for these captives, and tens of thousands of soldiers sounded a lot. In fact, there are so many galloping roads in Liaodong. If you want to repair the Chidao in Liaodong, I'm afraid that all 20,000 people will die here, which is not enough. Li Xin not only wants the lives of these people, but also wants to squeeze out the last bit of value of these people.

"Your Majesty, although Gai Suwen has fled, his morale has been lost. Although Liucheng is also a city, the minister thought that the other party would definitely not dare to stay in Liucheng, and the minister wanted to lead the army to pursue immediately. Su Dingfang said loudly.

"Yes, Dingfang, Gai Suwen is insidious and cunning. Although the army was defeated, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, if you were to pursue, you must be careful, and you could not be arrogant and take advantage of the other party. Li Xin nodded and agreed to Su Dingfang's suggestion, Gai Suwen died but did not stiffen, although he was defeated now, but in fact he did not lose much in strength, his real base camp was in Liaodong, and there were not many soldiers and horses left here. This defeat was also because Su Dingfang attacked the other party, and the following war may not be easy to fight.

"The last will go." After Su Dingfang said goodbye to Li Xin, he flew on his horse and led the cavalry of his headquarters to the east to kill him, although he could not kill Gai Suwen, but it was still possible to hunt down those Goguryeo soldiers. Weakening the enemy's strength and strengthening one's own strength is the king's way.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from Luronsei so far." After the eldest grandson Wuji waited for Su Dingfang to leave, he said in a low voice.

"No news, right, it wouldn't be great if there was news, this means that Lu Longsai is still in our hands, Wei Qing, can Wei Siyan support it?" Li Xin glanced at Wei Yuancheng on the side and said.

"Even if the children of Webster die in battle, they will not do anything to betray Your Majesty." Wei Yuancheng gritted his teeth and said. He was now far away from the front line, and he didn't know anything about Lu Longse, and he was very anxious in his heart, and he wanted to go and see it immediately.

"Very well, Merriam-Webster's business, I will remember." Li Xin nodded, if Wei Siyan was really like this, Li Xin would definitely reward Wei Yuancheng generously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yuancheng was moved in his heart and quickly fell to the ground.

"Qin Qiong, the army will be handed over to you to lead for the time being, Luo Shixin, you and I will lead the guards back to the dynasty and return to Lulongsai." Li Xinmeng turned his horse's head and said to Qin Qiong: "I have asked Su Dingfang to prepare grain and grass, don't worry about the lack of food, I hope that when I come back, you have already crossed the Liao River." ”

"Obey." Qin Qiong's heart moved, and he quickly fell to the ground, Wei Yuancheng and the others trembled in their hearts, Li Xin led the guards to Lulongsai this time, I am afraid that it was to deal with those rebellions in the court. I don't know how many more people will die under Li Xin's knife this time.

"General, there is Liucheng in front, why don't we take a break in Liucheng for a while." Ghost room Fuxin looked at Liucheng not far away, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally escaped, although there was a cavalry behind him, not far behind the army, but as long as there was a city, he could resist it.

"No, if we stay in Liucheng, Li Xin's soldiers and horses will soon pounce on us, and when the time comes, if we want to leave, I'm afraid we will lose more, and we can't afford this kind of loss anymore." Gai Suwen was extremely bitter in his heart, not that his martial arts were inferior to Li Xin, nor that his soldiers were not elite enough, but that the enemy's calculations were too powerful.

"It's really hateful, I heard that Li Xin is as cunning as a fox in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that after being the emperor for so many years, not only has nothing changed, but it is even more powerful, then Su Dingfang's cavalry may have appeared near us a long time ago, but we didn't expect it." The brocade robe on Gozang's body was shabby and dirty, and he did not look like a Goguryeo nobleman at all, and he was a beggar. He still feels scared now, if he wasn't a Goguryeo nobleman and a good friend of Gai Suwen, I'm afraid he would have been thrown aside, and the 100,000 army was almost lost overnight, if it weren't for Su Dingfang's resoluteness and decisiveness, when he found that something was wrong, he didn't entangle, so he gave up the camp and led the army out of the encirclement. If you stay any longer, I am afraid that when Li Xin comes, there will be no 100,000 troops left, and even if it is himself, he will be killed by Li Xin.

From this point of view, Gai Suwen really has a long and short chance with Li Xin, it doesn't matter if the general fails ten times once, as long as he wins a key war, he can solve many things, as if it is in front of him, although Gai Suwen failed, as long as he wins the key battle of Liaodong, he can defeat Li Xin, regain victory, and turn things around.

"He now has more people and horses in his hands, and it is more convenient to use, if you want to deal with him, you can't just rely on our family, fortunately, there are still many people in his court who oppose it, dragging him back, this time we burned grain and grass, Li Xin may have some grain and grass in his hands, but if you want to support Liaodong, I'm afraid it still won't work." Gai Suvin whispered.

"Just don't forget, since he asked Su Dingfang to attack us from the grassland, he may not be able to prepare grain and grass!" Ghost Fukuro Funobu thought for a moment and said.

"How I don't know about this, it's just that even if he has countless grains and grass, he will eat them all sooner or later, and there is no support in the back, as long as we stick to Liaodong, there will be no problems." Yuangai Suwen said nonchalantly. Since Su Dingfang appeared, he knew that Li Xin's grain and grass did not have any problems for the time being, and what he was waiting for was the rebellion in Li Xin's rear. (To be continued.) )
