Chapter 519: Battle or Surrender? (2-in-1)


"The northern tribes and the Tang Dynasty are coming, and the army of 400,000 is overwhelming, we can't stop it, so let's surrender!""

What four hundred thousand?

Obviously, there are only 200,000 miscellaneous fish, and we still have 100,000 elite soldiers in the capital, and if we rush to kill them, we will definitely be able to cut down all the miscellaneous fish!

Just you soft eggs are timid and afraid of things all day long" In the Goguryeo court, the military officials have already quarreled over the question of whether to fight or surrender.The war in the north was unfavorable, and after the news came back, everyone in Goguryeo was in danger from top to bottom.Rumors spread in the capital, some people said that there were 200,000, 300,000, and even 400,000 and 500,000 enemies, and they were all thugs who killed people without blinking, and even children ate them."

Everyone, everyone, it won't help us to quarrel here, now that the Great Pair of Lu is fighting in the Northland, and the enemy army in the North has completely occupied it, the Great Pair of Lu's life and death are uncertain.However, the kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day, so in my opinion, why don't we ask the king to come out and preside over the overall situation?

”A minister stepped forward and shouted.For a while, the entire hall was silent.The country of Goguryeo has a monarch, and the current king of Goguryeo is called Gao Jian, but as early as a few years ago, Gao Jian was placed under house arrest by the powerful minister Yuan Gaisu, and the official position of Da Xiang Lu is equivalent to the real power of the prime minister of Goguryeo.Because Yuangaisu has been in business for three generations, his prestige in his generation is extremely high, and he has surpassed the king of Goguryeo, so after cutting off the diehard loyalists of the king of Goguryeo, Yuangaisu is the real king of Goguryeo, and the difference is just a yellow robe.It's good now, under the internal and external troubles, Yuan Gaisu has no news for only half a month, and there are people in the court who have two hearts, which shows who this big pair of Lu's subordinates are on weekdays."

Okay, what a good idea, I'm the first to support the king to come out and govern himself!"

A majestic and domineering voice came from outside the palace gate, and everyone looked back, only to see a familiar figure, coming in a hurry, it was none other than Lu Yuangasu, the big pair who was recruiting outside.The minister who had proposed to make Gao Jian's comeback fell to the ground at once, and he knew that he was finished."

Congratulations on the safe return of the big pair Lu!"

Almost everyone shouted loudly."

Da Xiang Lu, now that the war in the north is raging in the south, one day it will approach our capital, and the last general will ask for his life and follow Da Zheng Lu to send troops to drive out the invaders."

A general defending the city stepped forward and shouted.The generals chimed in.Yuan Gaisu waved his hand and pressed everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Before talking about the war, let's deal with the small things first, how to calm the external troubles if the internal worries don't go?"

”As he spoke, he looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground.The other party felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce tiger, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Da Zheng Lu, it was the king who forced me to come out, it was really not my will" "Huh?

Is it?

Is it really the king who persecuted you?

”Yuan Gaisu snorted coldly.The man cautiously glanced at him, and then as if he understood, he quickly changed his words: "No, no, it was my own chaos for a while, and I was not instructed by others, and it has nothing to do with the king. ”"With a commodity like you, what qualifications do you have to participate in the government?

Someone came, removed his official position, and pushed out the head of the owl outside the palace to show the public, and all his family members were official slaves!

”"Don't be a big Lu, subordinate" After a while, the screams outside the hall stopped abruptly, and everyone's hearts trembled, and they didn't dare to raise their heads again, saying that the big Lu was still so decisive.Yuan Gaisu said in a gentle tone: "If it is not for me, as a courtier, I must control it, it is really the king's favor, how can we not do our best?"

We are all the king's courtiers, and we are taking care of the affairs of the state for him, if the king does everything himself, what is the use of me waiting?

Do you think so?

”"Big pair of Lu Gao!"

Who knew that at this time, a military general was impatient and said: "Big pair of Lu, in my opinion, it is better to slaughter that guy, you come to be the king, we all obey you, who still remembers what the surname Gao looks like?"

”Almost everyone looked back at the general, and the needles in the hall could be heard, and some people said that this thing was not looking for death?

But there are still people who think that this product is a good shot.Yuan Gaisu feigned anger and said, "Bastard, how can you say such a big rebellious statement?

Is it the duty of a man?

Now that the external troubles have not been settled, we must not have any more internal strife. ”"Yes, yes, it's the last general!"

The general hurriedly apologized.Many people have already understood this scene, and the big pair of Lu has the heart to be the king, but it is obvious in the words that the external troubles are not peaceful and inappropriate."

Da Pair Lu, it's good for you to come back and preside over the overall situation, now that the enemy is about to attack the city, how should we deal with it?

It's up to you to come up with ideas!

”Yuan Gaisu nodded, glanced at everyone, and asked curiously, "I seem to have heard just now, someone said that you can open the city and surrender?"

Is there such a thing?

”Who would dare to admit such a thing?

Everyone knows that the big pair of Lu is an iron-blooded main battle faction, who dares to say surrender in front of him?

Isn't that looking for death?

Seeing that no one responded, Yuan Gai Suwen said: "Actually, I haven't thought about surrender, and even I understand everyone's thoughts very well.Anyway, we are all courtiers, who are we courtiers for?

To be Goguryeo or to be Datang, it is all the same.In this case, it is better to lower the peace of life, so as not to lose the lives of the people in the great war, do you say so?

”Many people glanced at him, but he still didn't dare to speak.However, some generals were dissatisfied: "How can Da Xiang Lu say such depressing words?

As a courtier of Goguryeo, I was born in Goguryeo, this is a battle to defend the country, how can I say that I am the same as anyone else?

When it comes to surrender, our generals will never agree, and would rather die in battle than surrender!

”Yuan Gaisu was secretly happy in his heart, but he reprimanded on his face: "I know that it is a reckless man who fights and kills, and you are a general, so you should understand state affairs."

If we can't win the war, what if our Goguryeo blood is shed from top to bottom and all of us are killed?

Still fighting?

”Beat!

Why don't the general say that halfway through, imagining such a scene, and gradually lowered his head.If it was really then, how would it be fought?

We are here to protect the people, but in the end the people are all killed, so what's the point of the war?

Revenge?"

But.Just surrender?

I heard that the people in the occupied areas of the Northland were also slaughtered by the enemy, and it was better to fight to the death than this!

”Another general was not reconciled.Yuan Gaisu clenched his fists and said sharply: "That's right!

That's what I'm going to say today, this time the enemy is different, they don't take it to grab our territory, they just want to kill.As far as I know, there are more than 200,000 troops who have entered our Goguryeo homeland, but they are all miscellaneous soldiers of the Khitan, Murowei, and Jin Ya tribes.Therefore, everyone, if we surrender to these people, what awaits us is not to continue to be officials and dignitaries, but to be ruthlessly slaughtered and trampled, not to mention being officials, even civilians have nothing to do, they can only be slaves!

”Inside the temple, many people couldn't help but take a breath, at first they thought that the big pair of Lu was just a pre-war mobilization, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible, if the Tang Dynasty army attacks, maybe there is a chance to surrender and save your life, after all, they have always adhered to the rules of the battlefield.But the Hu people of the three tribes are different, what rules do they know?

Looting is the rule."

We will swear to follow the great pair of Lu to the death, and we would rather die in battle than surrender!"

This sentence was not shouted by a military general, but by an official, and at the same time, others were surprised, but they immediately shouted together, and the crowd was excited, and there was a sense of stubborn resistance to death as home."

Good!

Since everyone agrees, then I will talk about the strategy of dealing with the enemy, one of which is that the enemy is strong, let alone 300,000 soldiers and horses, our capital garrison is 100,000, and there are only 130,000 soldiers and horses outside, so we must expand our strength, and urgent recruitment is the first place. ”"The last general will go and issue a recruitment order, and within a month, even if it is caught, 100,000 young soldiers will be captured!"

A military general pleaded for his life."

Stupid!

What was captured was a strong man, who had no combat power and fighting spirit, so what was the use?

Sending them to the battlefield is not only sending them to death, but also dragging down the morale of other armies. ”Yuan Gaisu rebuked angrily.Then he instructed: "Heavy money to recruit troops, at the expense of opening the treasury to fund recruitment, but at the moment the treasury is tight, so everyone present needs to support the enemy." ”Well, this can be regarded as a clear statement of its purpose, that is, to make all the officials pay.Everyone understood, but there were indeed real people, and an old minister stood up and shouted: "I am willing to donate fifty percent of the family property for military expenses!"

”Yuan Gaisu said with a smile: "Very good, you don't have to be reluctant, just do what you can, if you hold this country, you can continue to be rich and rich, and you can earn back as much property as you want, if you can't keep it, how much money you hoard now is for the enemy." ”"Wait, I, I'm ninety percent!"

It's still that old minister, this time it's really out of the way.He took the lead, but if he suffered those misers, it would be difficult for the people below, and he wanted to cut half of the meat, but now it's good, if anyone shouts fifty percent, compared to ninety percent of others, it's just a joke, and he can't take it.If anyone really dares to say that they take less, it is estimated that everyone will have to draw a line with him the next day.So everyone shouted to take out ninety percent of the property.On the one hand, he arranged for his henchmen to recruit and train troops, and at the same time swore to ensure that he would keep Goguryeo safe this time, and wait for this catastrophe to survive, and all those who donated money this time could have hereditary official positions for three generations.On the other hand, this big pair of Lu can be said to have calculated everyone, and with the help of the words of the military officials to donate money, he mobilized all the strata in the city, whether it is a wealthy nobleman, a merchant or a craftsman, or even as long as the people in the capital, they must contribute money.Of course, the people don't have much money, and they don't have to pay if they want to, they only need one person from the family to come out to join the army.Such a method, not only the money is in place, but also the people are in place, and the newly recruited people outside Pyongyang, not to mention the combat power for the time being, just let the people see this momentum, many people already believe that Goguryeo will be able to hold it.In addition to recruiting troops by himself, Yuan Gaisu also prepared a second backhand, that is, since Datang could recruit troops from elsewhere to seek allies, of course he could too.The three tribes in the north have become enemies, so on the peninsula, in addition to Goguryeo, there are also Baekje and Silla, plus the overseas Wa Kingdom, which is also a country of the three countries, not to mention anything else, as long as these three places are willing to help send troops, the number has been brought back.Besides, the domestic city Duhe side easily took the domestic city, and wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate another wave of reinforcements, but after waiting for two days, the scouts learned that the reinforcements had turned south, and they all returned to defend the black bone city.Du He was a little hesitant, whether he would go deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo in the south and directly attack the capital of Goguryeo, or turn to the west and encircle the defenders of Wugu City, Liaodong City and Xincheng City in the west.He didn't know that the new city had been abandoned and became an empty city, not to mention Duhe, even Xue Rengui, who had withdrawn from the north of the new city, only found out after the new city was empty for two days.In the end, after some deliberation, Duhe's 150,000-strong army went south first, pushed all the way over and conquered the small city inside Goguryeo, and then divided the army into two routes.There were 50,000 people all the way, led by Fang Yiai and Qin Huaidao, and turned west to attack the Black Bone City.On the other hand, 100,000 people, led by Du He personally, the soldiers and nobles went straight to the capital of Goguryeo, even if they couldn't be defeated, they could not care about each other, as long as they dragged and didn't let them support, and waited until Xue Rengui on the other side took other cities, leaving Pyongyang with an isolated and helpless capital, and there were no twists and turns in the matter of destroying the country.However, the imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Goguryeo has been able to confront the former Sui and the Tang Dynasty for decades, not in vain, the broken ship still has three catties of iron.Ten days later, Duhe's attack was blocked, and the defenders of Goguryeo went north to block the enemy, stopping Duhe 200 miles away from Pyongyang, unable to advance an inch.Fang Yiai's siege of the city also had little effect, his own 50,000 soldiers and horses were not good at attacking the city, and the enemy was well-equipped, and the black bone city basically couldn't be gnawed down by 50,000 soldiers and horses.Fang Yiai was so anxious that he single-handedly found Du He's side, if it was like this, it would definitely not be a good thing, in the art of war, it would be exhausted after one blow.Du He smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, our supplies will arrive in a few days."

Isn't it just that weapons are backward?

My brother has already helped us think that the next shipment will have the elite armor and weapons of the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons and equipment of Goguryeo will soon be compared to ours. ”Fang Yiai laughed, but after thinking about it, he reminded in a low voice: "Qinglian, our Datang's equipment is good, but if we give these 200,000 bearded soldiers after the First World War, will it become a problem in the future?"
