In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Zhang Liang, the general manager of Pingxiang Road and Duke of Yun State, led a navy to launch a surprise attack from behind Dahei Mountain, broke through Besha City, and captured more than 8,000 people including the guards of Besha City.
However, after Emperor Taizong returned from Liaodong, he killed Zhang Liang on the charge of treason.
When Yun Chu once had a gentle conversation with Di Renjie about the gains and losses of the twenty-four people in Lingyan Pavilion, the three of them felt very strange.
Because, with Zhang Liang's little ability, plotting against Emperor Taizong would basically be like hanging himself, because he was too impatient to live.
The three of them went through the documents of the 20th year of Zhenguan, and finally discovered from some clues that the real cause of Zhang Liang's death was that he was seeking death.
A minister, who is always ready to lead troops into battle, would only accept 500 godsons if he has lost his mind. Moreover, most of these 500 godsons are strong generals or soldiers in the army.
The most terrible thing is that this person also believes in the words of the charlatan sorcerers, and his family supports two famous sorcerers all year round.
If these two sorcerers one day prophesy that Zhang Liang will definitely become emperor, this person with insufficient brains might believe it and start a rebellion.
After all, I have five hundred strong godsons, right?
Zhang Liang, who was born as a farmer and had not read many books, might have thought that having more children would bring blessings. However, Emperor Taizong, who was well-read in poetry and books, might have a different understanding from him.
Yun Chu and the other two people came to the conclusion that it was very important to maintain a similar ideological outlook to their superiors. In this case, they would not be easily beheaded.
Bisha City is less than twenty miles away from the seaside, and one city can control the fertile bay nearby.
After Beisha City is evacuated, the Tang Navy will no longer have any worries.
It's just that Yun Chu didn't quite understand why the mediocre Zhang Liang could easily conquer Beisha City, but why the more skilled Gao Kan couldn't conquer it.
It is almost 900 miles from Gaimu City to Bisha City, and there are two Goguryeo cities in the middle, Jian'an City and Yin City.
Not counting the battle time, it would take at least thirteen days for Yun Chu's entire army to set off and reach Beisha City. If Gao Kan could not capture Beisha City within thirteen days, Yun Chu would look down on Gao Kan.
Wen Wen felt that there must be something weird in it.
Since the army entered Liaodong, the actions of all generals have been under the command of Li Ji. Before the march, he sternly warned everyone not to make their own decisions.
At this time, the Tang army approaching Beisha City, Yun Chubu was definitely not the closest one, so why did he have to be sent to Beisha City?
Yunchu's whole army went to Beisha City, there must be other uses.
Therefore, on the way to the march, Yun Chu and Wen Wen once again studied Zhang Liang's experience of conquering Besha City in their memory.
As a result, after two days of discussion, there was no result, so we had to take it step by step.
For the nine hundred miles, the Army Sima gave fifteen days, and it was a strict order. Therefore, even if it started to rain, Yun Chubu still had to march in the rain and did not dare to delay for a moment.
Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers seemed to have identified Yun Chu. After they emptied Gaimou City, they took two thousand slave soldiers and continued to follow Yun Chu's tribe. They believed that they had gone to Beimou City.
Shacheng, maybe there will be greater gains.
In fact, this slave army has long since evolved into a slave-catching group.
The leader Yang Jing may have originally wanted to avenge his father Yang Wanchun. After trading slaves for a long time, the conscience of good people will slowly turn black, let alone a person like Yang Jing who is inherently black-hearted.
Therefore, the process of catching slaves has long become a process of making money for him, and it has nothing to do with avenging his father.
When Yunchu's army was marching in the rain, they still had the tung oil tarp that Wannian County had prepared long ago to protect themselves from the rain.
The slave soldiers were miserable. They followed Yunchu's army in the heavy rain and marched towards Beisha City with great difficulty.
Facts have proved that Yang Jing and the three brothers of the Wang family were foresight. When Yunchu was preparing to take advantage of the heavy rain to conquer the Goguryeo Jian'an City, Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers took the initiative to volunteer and were willing to sneak into Jian'an City as Goguryeo people.
Open the city gates for the army.
Naturally, Yun Chu and Wen Wen couldn't refuse this kind of thing.
So, he led his army and hid in the mountain col near Jian'an City. As soon as the city gate was opened, Zhong Kui led the vanguard to rush in and control the whole city.
At this time, the land of Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, and wolves, tigers and leopards were rampant. People often built high walls to guard against attacks by ferocious beasts.
Yunchu felt that the arrival of his army in Jian'an City should be a very sudden thing. In addition, it had been raining for two days, so the people in Jian'an City should not be prepared.
In the name of a slave trading group, Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers bribed the Goguryeo people guarding the city gate and successfully entered Jian'an City with fifty warriors and more than a hundred slave soldiers pretending to be slaves.
As soon as they entered, Yun Chu and others saw Yang Jing and others starting to kill the unsuspecting Goguryeo people at the gate of the city.
Immediately, Zhong Kui, who had been prepared for a long time, led the bad guys to fight in. At the same time, Yang Jing and his slave soldiers had already rushed into Jian'an City along the bloody path Zhong Kui had killed.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not rush into the city, but stood in the rain and silently looked in the direction of the city gate.
Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers are extremely unreliable to them, and they will not rashly put all their bets on them.
It wasn't until Zhong Kui completely occupied the city gate that Yun Chu led his army into Jian'an City. After entering the city, he divided his forces to control the four gates of Jian'an City. Then, following the red-eyed slave soldiers behind them, he controlled the city step by step.
He lived in various key places in Jian'an City.
This time Yun Chu saw clearly that although the combat effectiveness of the slave soldiers under Yang Jing, Wang Laosan and others was not as good as that of the Tang army, it could be seen from their attack on the Goguryeo army that these people were definitely not ordinary slaves.
The strength is still higher than that of Goguryeo soldiers.
Wen Wen also discovered this problem. The two looked at each other without saying anything. They still followed the slave soldiers and watched them orderly take down the city lord's palace, conquer the unprepared military camp, seize the grain depot, and open the prison.
When Yun Chu saw these slave soldiers opening the prison and the prisoners in the prison began to cheer, Yun Chu finally understood why the slave soldiers under Yang Jing had such strong fighting power and were loyal to Yang Jing and the others.
The reason is that the slave soldiers are all criminal prisoners.
When Yun Chu, wearing a raincoat made of waterproof tarpaulin, stepped into the lobby of the Jian'an City Lord's Palace, dozens of trembling Goguryeo officials were already kneeling here.
These Goguryeo officials spoke very well in Tang Dynasty. Among them, the city lord had some literary talent. Even in a state of extreme panic, he spoke clearly and was gentle and elegant.
Yun Chu didn't speak. He felt that there was no need to say anything to this dying person. At this time, it might be just right for him to be a good person and not give him any slim hope.
Yang Jing, the Wang brothers, and a group of slave soldiers stood in the rain like hyenas and looked greedily at these trembling Goguryeo officials.
At this moment, Yunchu felt like he was a bad lion leading a pack of dirty hyenas that was causing harm to the grassland.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the hyenas rushed into the lobby and were dragged away amidst the officials' hoarse begging for mercy.
Yang Jing also helped Yun Chu close the door of the lobby very considerately. Immediately afterwards, the arrogant laughter of the slave soldiers and the screams of the officials came from outside the door, and a stream of blood slowly flowed from the crack in the door.
Coming in, a small pool of blood shimmering with coquettish colors was formed.
The door was slowly opened through a gap, and a hand came in. This hand held a rather gorgeous dress, and quietly wiped the newly formed gorgeous lake clean, and finally used rainwater to clean the blood stains.
, and then closed the door.
He said softly and calmly: "There is a worry about raising tigers."
Yun Chu narrowed his eyes and said: "He is not qualified to be called a tiger. At most, he is a dirty wild dog."
"It's better to be careful," she said tenderly.
Yun Chu smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's make arrangements as soon as possible."
Nod gently.
At this time, Zhong Kui opened the door and walked in, saying to Yun Chu: "Those slave soldiers are harming women."
Yun Chu said: "Do you want to stop them? Then go."
Zhong Kui hesitated and said, "I'll kill them."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the rain again.
The gate opened, and screams, cries, and wails resounded throughout the city.
In a short time, Yang Jing and the three brothers from the Wang family hurried over, carrying a few heads in their hands. When they saw Yun Chu, they knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "It's all a villain who has not been restrained strictly. It's a capital crime. It's a capital crime."
"
Yun Chu glanced at the heads and said calmly: "It's better to have some bottom lines as a human being, otherwise, you may not end up well."
Yang Jing and the Wang brothers swore an oath, and after seeing Yun Chu's approval, they left carefully.
After a while, several Goguryeo women who were all wet were pushed into the lobby.
Looking at the few women with no apparent appearance kneeling in the muddy water, Yun Chu said to Yang Jing: "Give them horses, give them some money and food, and let them go."
When Yang Jing heard this, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately pulled these women away. It seemed that he was really ready to let them go.
Wen Wen frowned and said, "Aren't you worried that they will be caught by these hyenas on the way?"
Yun Chu said: "If Yang Jing does this, his death will come. However, I don't think Yang Jing will, because he doesn't look like a person who loses the big for the small."
When it was getting dark, the rain finally stopped, and after the dark clouds dispersed, the sunset slowly appeared.
The remaining dark clouds were also rimmed with gold by the sun, but these golden rims quickly disappeared because the sun had already set.
