Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At this moment, a small school came in and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Liaodong City... Liaodong City..."

"how?"

"Our Great Tang flag has been planted all over the city!"

"Ah? What's going on here? Dear friends, follow me and watch!"

"Here!"

The people came out of the tent of the Chinese army, and without much effort, they came to a place within a stone's throw of the city.

His Majesty Li Er winked, Xue Rengui came out, and said loudly: "Why do you plant the flags of our Great Tang all over the place? Could it be that you want to surrender?"

A junior officer said: "We are General Sun Daiyin's private soldiers, and now General Sun has decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Come up quickly to meet him. Most of the officers and soldiers in the city do not want to surrender. We are few, so I am afraid we won't last long."

His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, just as he was about to speak, Li Ji pulled his horse's reins and said, "Your Majesty, accepting a surrender is like facing an enemy, so be careful!"

"This……"

Xue Rengui is also a person who is well versed in the art of war. He said, "Since you have surrendered, where is Duke Qin? Tell him to come out and talk to me."

"Qin Guozheng controls the overall situation in the city lord's mansion, and cannot come to meet with you."

"Then what about your City Lord Sun?"

"It's also in the city."

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Do you think it's true or not that they surrendered?"

Li Ji shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not true."

Chapter 1948 I already knew

As if expected, Li Er Majesty's complexion darkened slightly at first, and then returned to normal, and said softly: "What do you mean by this?"

"First, Tang flags are planted all over the city wall, why is there no sound of killing? Second, Qin Guogong and Sun Daiyin did not show up. Although the reason was given, this is too coincidental to be convinced. dream."

"Why does it have anything to do with my dreams?"

"I always thought that Your Majesty's dream last night was caused by the concern for Duke Qin's safety. But now, it seems that Duke Qin's spirit in heaven knew of the conspiracy of the Goguryeo people to pretend to surrender. He was afraid that you might miss something, so he asked you to warn him in your dream."

Zhang Liang said: "That's right, the Goguryeo people are full of tricks, and their special skill is false surrender, so don't trust them!"

His Majesty Li Er had already believed nine points at this time, and said: "Then what should we do? Just watch like this? Could it be that Qin Guogong died in vain?"

"Of course Duke Qin can't die in vain, but...there is a saying that the general will not raise troops out of anger, and His Majesty should not be impulsive. Now it seems that we can only write down this blood debt for the time being. When we figure out a way to conquer Liaodong City, we will continue to fight." Make calculations."

Li Ji nodded and said: "The old minister seconded the proposal. If the Goguryeo people dared to feign surrender, they must have made complete preparations. If we were impulsive, we might not only be unable to avenge Qin Guogong, but also lose many soldiers in vain."

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Take the troops back to the camp!"

"Slow! Your Majesty, you Tang people are too timid, aren't you? Don't even dare to try?" A crisp voice said.

People followed the voice, and the person who spoke was Su Zhi, the prince of the Xi clan!

Although the Khitan and Xi tribes are now canonized by the Tang Dynasty, strictly speaking, they only belong to the confinement.Although it is stronger than the control over the vassal state, it is not much stronger.

His Majesty Li Er was quite polite to Su Zhi, and patiently explained: "It's not a matter of being timid or not, it's just that I don't want the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices."

Su Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "To be afraid of death is to be afraid of death, and you still talk about unnecessary sacrifices. You Tang people really know how to speak! I just don't know if this ability of tongue can be used on the battlefield."

As soon as he said those words, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest.The master humiliated his ministers, the master humiliated his ministers to death, and scolded the emperor face to face, is it tolerable or unbearable!

"Bold!"

"Don't be unreasonable!"

"The following guilty!"

"Boy, if you talk nonsense again, I will screw your head off."

"Little boy, you were not weaned when Your Majesty fought for the first time. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

……

All the generals scolded angrily.

His Majesty Li Er was quite tolerant, and said: "Shut up! Prince Su Zhi hasn't read any books, so it's okay to be ignorant of etiquette, so don't be too harsh. Besides, he is also worried about Duke Qin's safety, and he has a good heart. I don't blame him."

Su Zhi didn't appreciate it, and snorted provocatively: "I don't want to argue with you. I just want to ask you a question, what if Qin Guogong is still alive? What if the people on the city wall are telling the truth?" What if Qin Guogong is killed because of your delay?"

"This..." His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "The possibility you mentioned is not impossible. But..."

"how?"

"It's true that Lord Qin is my subordinate, but the other soldiers are also my subjects. I can't let them take such a big risk to fight."

Su Zhi said angrily: "I don't understand. Even if there is no such thing, don't you want to attack the city? What if you try to attack the city now?"

Zhang Liang twitched his beard and said, "That's different. When our army attacks the city, I have the initiative. When the enemy lures us to attack the city, the initiative belongs to the enemy. At this time, we must not be led by the nose! The enemy wants us to do it." Yes, we absolutely cannot do it."

"why?"

Zhang Liang paused every word, and replied confidently: "Because the enemy wants us to do this!"

At this moment, Duke Xun seemed to be resurrected by his grandson Wu, Bai Qi was reincarnated, and Sima Rangju and Zhuge Liang possessed him at the same time, it seemed that he was so wise and had no plans.

Even His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and said: "Scholar farewell for three days, you should look at him with admiration. Unexpectedly, Duke Xun is still proficient in the art of war."

"Where, where, it can't be said to be proficient. It's just that I have recently studied military books, and I have gained occasionally."

Su Zhi saw that aggressive generals were useless, so he was really anxious, and said: "Okay, you Tang Dynasty will not send troops, we Xi Clan will send troops! You Tang people are afraid of traps, but we Xi Clan are not!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Our Xi family will send troops alone to capture Liaodong City." As he spoke, Su Zhi pulled up his horse and walked away.

Mo Hui also changed his face slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Guogong has a great kindness for me Khitan. Even if it is a trap, we have to break through it. Even if thousands of people die, it can be considered that we have repaid his old man's kindness."

"Slow! Don't be impulsive..."

"Let's go!" Before His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, this one also urged the horse to leave.

Seeing that Su Zhi and Mohui didn't respect orders, His Majesty Li Er's face was of course not very good-looking, and said: "Hmph, the barbarians outside the Great Wall are really not educated. I don't know that I don't want them to die in vain for their own good. Treat my kindness as the liver and lungs of a donkey."

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, these two seem to respect Qin Guogong more than you! Such putting the cart before the horse is probably not a blessing for the country."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Could it be that I would still be jealous of a dead man?"
