"Are you trying to stick these filthy things on me?
You murderer of a thousand cuts! I curse you to go to hell and die a good death!"
Jin and Hyun Bin started to curse.
But if you want to scold, just scold him, it won't hurt Muchuan.
Then Muchuan snapped his fingers and asked Temujin to take action vigorously. Soon, bursts of miserable screams could be heard in the entire cell. The sounds were as pitiful as the echoes of evil ghosts in hell.
After a moment of burning incense, Muchuan and Temujin Dali walked out of the cell.
The air outside is fresh and the sun is shining brightly. It really makes you feel good after you step out!
Temujin Dali, who was following behind, said at this time: "Sir, you really like to use this method. You also used this method when interrogating prisoners before."
"Hey, this is only done to difficult prisoners like Jin and Hyun Bin. This is also called mental torture."
"But does it work?
I heard that the Goguryeo envoy could not force him to reveal any information no matter how he was tortured."
"Of course it's useless."
Muchuan chuckled. He did this simply because he wanted to disgust Jin and Xuan Bin.
Who told Jin Hexuan Bin to do so many things all day long? If he hadn't caused trouble in the Tang Dynasty, Muchuan wouldn't have to go all the way to the border to bask in the sun.
Now, instead of worrying about Jin and Xuan Bin, Muchuan might as well think about how to win the territory of Goguryeo in the shortest possible time.
"vigorously."
"The villain is here."
"Recently, you and Captain Lunan should work together to take action from other people. Others may not be as stubborn as Jin and Xuan Bin."
That’s right! Since Kim and Hyun Bin refused to provide information about Goguryeo even to death, they could just find someone else!
This time, many generals and cavalrymen of the Goguryeo Kingdom were captured alive. After checking each one, the information obtained may not necessarily be as much as that of prime ministers like Kim and Hyun Bin, but as long as it is sorted and summarized, it will definitely be useful for attacking the Goguryeo Kingdom.
helpful.
At the same time, the sun set at dusk, and the slanting rays of the sun fell on the palaces and palaces of Chang'an City.
In the study room in the back room, Li Shimin was sitting on a silk chair, looking depressed. No wonder he was like this. Half a month had passed until now, and there was no news from Li Chengqian. As a father, how could he not be sad?
As an old eunuch, Liu Gui could tell what the emperor was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he slowly said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince must be a lucky person. I hope your Majesty will not be too worried."
"How can I not be worried? This child was taken away immediately. I don't know what the people of Goguryeo will do to him."
"Since Lord Changsun has entrusted the Minister of Household Affairs to rescue His Royal Highness, there must be no problem!"
Even though Liu Gui comforted him like this, Li Shimin couldn't listen. If the domestic government affairs were not busy and he was injured in the last assassination, Li Shimin would definitely go to the border in person to fight against the evil thieves and rescue his children.
At this moment, a call came from the young eunuch outside the palace gate: "The captain wants to see you."
Hearing that Changsun Wuji was coming to see him, Li Shimin asked someone to invite him in.
Changsun Wuji looked delighted. After walking in, he didn't even bother to salute and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... the crown prince has been saved!"
Hearing that the crown prince was saved made Li Shimin jump for joy. Did he hear it correctly?
My eldest son was saved!
"Changsun Aiqing, please tell me what's going on?
How was my child saved?"
"This is the message that came from the flying pigeon on the border at noon today. According to the message, it was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Muchuan, who used clever methods to save him!"
The information recorded in the letter was very comprehensive, with as many as ten pages. At this time, Changsun Wuji explained it in detail to Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin heard the whole story of the incident, he was particularly excited: "It would be best if this child Cheng Qian was saved... It would be best. It seems that I did not misjudge the person. This Muchuan is really amazing! If he comes back, he will definitely
Reward him well!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The next morning, the sun rose in the east and set over the border.
In the garrison's barracks, Muchuan was slowly getting up on a wooden bed in a wooden room.
As he got up, he cursed: "It's such a poor mountainous place. I can't eat well and sleep well. I really want to go back early..."
It's no wonder that Muchuan looks like this. He hasn't had enough food and clothing to stay here recently, and even the place where he sleeps has made his body tremble. No wonder he is so resentful.
But even if Muchuan wanted to go back, it would not be so easy, because his goal was to conquer the territory of Goguryeo before going back.
After Muchuan discussed with a group of generals yesterday, the basic strategy has been worked out.
The Tang Dynasty army had a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, of which 150,000 soldiers and horses had to be left to protect the national borders. After all, besides Goguryeo, there were other countries that were connected to the Tang Dynasty's territory, and people from other countries had to be included.
Be on guard.
For this reason, only 150,000 people attacked Goguryeo this time!
The 150,000 people were divided into three groups, attacking all the way from the front. However, they tried to avoid fighting with the enemy along the way, and instead tried to attract more of the enemy's attention.
The other two routes will march from the plains and valleys of Goguryeo and penetrate deep into the hinterland, thus forming a surprise attack effect.
When the three groups go up together, with the effect of bows and arrows and siege stakes, the power will be infinite.
The main problem now is that there is insufficient information about several cities on the border of Goguryeo. For example, we still don’t know how many people there are on the border of Goguryeo, how many weapons, and the layout of the traps and city defense equipment. If we don’t know these things, it will be a bit difficult to fight.
difficulty.
"My lord, my lord..." Suddenly there were calls from outside the wooden house.
It was a very familiar voice, and Muchuan knew it was Captain Lunan as soon as he heard it.
Muchuan just finished washing and walked out. Sure enough, he saw Lunan. His face was hurried, as if he had something important to report.
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, after following your instructions yesterday, Brother Dali and I have completed the interrogation! These interrogation statements!"
Lunan then respectfully handed over a stack of paper.
The contents of the paper recorded military information obtained from the Goguryeo cavalry and some generals. There was a lot of content, but several key city defense nodes were not disclosed.
For example, there is a city in Goguryeo called "Gaoshan Castle", which is located on a steep mountain and is the only way to the hinterland of Goguryeo. It is heavily fortified and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If the Tang Dynasty army can capture the "Gaoshan City", it will open an important channel to capture Goguryeo. It will be a matter of course, and it will be very easy to march deeper.
