The King of Goguryeo was thinking about what Gaeyeon Suwen said. He also knew that now has reached the most dangerous moment, but whether he should adopt this strategy or not. If it were in the past, he should have called everyone together to discuss it carefully, but now it has been
There is no such time. Even if you think about it by yourself, there will only be a few hours left at most.
Whether it is sending someone to see the marshal of the Tang Dynasty or contacting Silla and Baekje, it will take time. It takes a lot of time just on the road. After meeting their leaders, they still have to deal with them.
Xiao Yi was so powerful, otherwise the two countries would not have sent troops. After all, Goguryeo often bullied others when it was strong, and it was impossible for others to help Goguryeo resist the Great Hall. This required someone who could speak well.
"According to the Prime Minister's wishes, if everyone does this, what is the chance of our Goguryeo surviving in the end?"
When the King of Goguryeo said this, Gae Yeon Su Wen knew that he had thought it over carefully and was leaning towards this method. As for the odds, Gae Yuan Su Wen couldn't make up his mind now. He didn't know that the Tang Dynasty was in power.
The author's idea is that if there is only one Li Shimin, the chance of survival is 70%, but now another Li Xiang has appeared in the Tang Dynasty. This guy is more aggressive and thirsty for territory than Li Shimin, so this chance is not
That’s easy to say.
"If our people can see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then we should be 60% sure. But if there is no way to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but only the grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I don't think it is even 30%."
When the King of Goguryeo heard the previous sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he lost all the land north of the Datong River, it was very good for him to be able to keep half of the country. After all, according to Goguryeo's
The current situation is that the country's subjugation is a certainty. If you can leave half of it, what else are you pursuing?
But when he heard the next sentence, he almost stood up with excitement, and the look on his face revealed that he was indeed very scared now.
"How could the great grandson of the Tang Dynasty be so powerful?"
The king of one country praises the people in power of other countries. Generally speaking, these are polite words that make everyone happy on the scene, but it is indeed very rare to say such words when facing one's own people.
This is not a polite statement, it is true.
"Your Majesty may not be familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shimin was defeated two years ago, we still had an advantage. Take you and me as an example. The reason why Goguryeo is like this is all because of His Highness the Grand Sun.
Hands-on, in the past two years, he first captured Tuyuhun, then made Tubo a mess, and now he is targeting me, Goguryeo. If he were not a capable person, he could have done all this
?"
The King of Goguryeo had already heard about the countries mentioned by Gai Yuan Suwen. Tuyuhun was a small country in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. Although the area was not very large, the cavalry combat effectiveness was also very powerful. It was captured in half a year.
, one can imagine how powerful Li Xiang is.
As for the name of Tubo, the King of Goguryeo has also heard of it. It is said that the territory is vast and it comes from the kingdom of heaven. They conquered all the surrounding tribes and formed a kingdom about the same size as the Tang Dynasty.
A great empire, even such an empire fell into decline within a year. How could Goguryeo find the strength to resist His Highness the Grand Sun?
"If we fight a bloody battle on the Datong River, what do you think the chance of victory is, Prime Minister?"
Now the voice of the King of Goguryeo has calmed down. It was still a normal voice just now. Now anyone can hear that the voice of the King is depressed. Perhaps this half of the country is also a luxury.
"If it's winter, we don't have any chance of winning. If we can insist on sending troops from Silla and Baekje for a year until the spring of next year, then our chance of winning will be even greater. But if they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then
We can only hold on for a few months at most."
Gaeyuan Suwen is right. The temperature on the Datong River is cold in winter and the entire river is covered with ice. Even if there are thousands of horses galloping, there will not be any problems on the river. Only in summer and autumn when the river melts,
It was difficult for the Tang army to cross the river.
Secondly, the current army of Goguryeo is said to be 200,000, of which 100,000 are here to make up the numbers. The remaining people don't have much to do now. Except for tens of thousands of elites, the others are really useless.
The King of Goguryeo did not expect that he was now in a desperate situation. He originally thought that the two sides could fight against foreign enemies by working together. Now it seems that this is just wishful thinking, and we have to leave our fate to Silla and Baekje. Even if we can
After the Tang army was carried away, whether the 100,000 troops from the two countries retreated is another matter. Even if they retreated, they would have to wipe out Goguryeo before leaving.
"God……"
The King of Goguryeo whispered these three words in desperation. Gae Yuan Suwen's face didn't look good. Once upon a time, he wanted to defeat the young man in front of him and let the young man in front of him hand over the throne to him, but now Gai Yuan Suwen
Yuan Suwen suddenly felt that this was a hot yam. If he resisted to the end, Datang would definitely pursue the bandit leader.
"Send a sea ship and use the sea ship to send envoys to let them go to Chang'an City."
After thinking for a long time, the king finally said this. Since there is no way to send people to Chang'an City by land, the only way is to take the sea route. Although the sea route is extremely dangerous in this era, at this time, we must
If you take risks and meet Li Shimin, isn't there a chance to survive?
Everyone will grab the last straw when they are about to die, and the King of Goguryeo is no exception. After hearing this, Gae Yuan Suwen also nodded, and rarely expressed any objection. You must know that in the past days,
Any proposal from both sides will be opposed by the other side, and this will be mindless opposition.
I thought that Li Shimin was already a butcher. He killed so many people when he conquered Goguryeo. But compared with his grandson, Li Shimin turned out to be a moderate. No matter he was the Prime Minister of Goguryeo or the King of Goguryeo, they all wanted to survive.
The opportunity was placed on Li Shimin, hoping that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could open his eyes and stop his grandson...
