"Two envoys, please rise. Since you have already expressed your attitude, we are still a family. Now I ask you two to listen to the order and write a letter immediately and ask the generals of your army to come over. The king will distribute
For combat missions, you must also perform your obligations as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."
After listening to Li Xiang's words, the two of them also knelt down and kowtowed. They also knew that it was impossible to leave this time. Li Xiang had no intention of letting them leave. Since you two dare to enter Datang's military camp, you should do it.
Just be prepared for this.
Before the two came, some of their subordinates had said that if Li Xiang detained them, where would the army go? So they didn't want them to join the Tang army, but they still thought it was unlikely.
, the so-called two countries are fighting without killing each other, how could Li Xiang take action against them? The Tang Dynasty was a celestial dynasty, and it was the most disciplined dynasty.
Unexpectedly, they overturned in this aspect. Li Xiang did not talk about the rules so much, but came up to tell you about his rules. As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is not just about signing an agreement. During the war,
During that period, you had to fight with the Tang army. Now you are the one who has brought the army over, so it is normal for Li Xiang to treat them as cannon fodder.
"Why did Mr. Gao hold me back? Even if the two of us die here, our army will not be able to become Li Xiang's cannon fodder."
In another tent, the two adults had finished writing the letter. At this moment, Li Tan felt a little uncomfortable.
"I know Mr. Li has the idea of sacrifice for the country, and I am not the person who is afraid of death, but has Master Li ever thought about it, if the two of us die here, what good will it do to the entire country? The combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army
It’s not that you don’t know that once you give him an excuse, he will most likely kill him from north to south, and our two countries will be plunged into war in an instant. Only a few tens of thousands of soldiers can be the opponent of Datang.
?"
Mr. Gao's words are heart-breaking. As a small country, no matter how they calculate, they can only survive in the cracks of big countries. Maybe it will not be possible to even be caught in the cracks in the future. The Tang army has already reached their north. By the time Goguryeo
After their country was destroyed, they had to count the days.
"But what's going on now? He has already issued an order to let 60,000 soldiers from your two countries be the first batch of troops to attack the city. If we fight like this, our 60,000 soldiers can still survive.
How much down?”
Mr. Li said very sadly that these two countries are small and weak, and their populations are not very large. These 60,000 soldiers already account for a large proportion. If more than 60,000 soldiers die on the battlefield, Li Xiang will
Only 20,000 to 30,000 troops are needed to hold these two countries in hand.
"When His Highness mentioned the obligations of the vassal state, you and I have already lost. If we resisted at that time, the agreement between the two countries would be invalidated, and we would inevitably be destroyed. Now these 60,000 people may have perished, but
At least our country can survive. It depends on what His Highness thinks. We will definitely have no freedom in the future, but it would be good if we can save our lives."
Mr. Gao can see very clearly that Li Xiang is using a Yang. No matter how you answer, there must be a certain loss. The difference is just the size of the loss. Now sixty thousand lives are exchanged for two people.
The continuation of the country is still very cost-effective.
Moreover, in this tall man's view, 60,000 people attacked the capital of Goguryeo. It is not possible that all of them died here. But if they were enemies of the Tang army, according to Goguryeo's casualty standards, these 60,000 people would not die here.
It is very likely that more than half of them will not survive, and our losses will be even greater by then. Even if the Tang army retreats, will it still be a country without these young adults in the country?
Goryeo capital city
Gaeyuan Suwen stood dejectedly on the city wall. He thought that his strategy could save Goguryeo. With the help of these two countries, at least Goguryeo could continue to survive, even if it was to help these two countries defend the northern border.
That was still of some use, and Li Xiang had to give some face to these two countries no matter what.
Unexpectedly, only two hours have passed, and the armies of the two countries have already begun to encircle the capital of Goguryeo from the south. This is something Gaeyuan Suwen did not expect. In his mind, aren't you people here to help? Co-authored
Are you here to help Datang?
"No letter has come in yet?"
Gai Yuan Suwen said anxiously, he thought this was a strategy between the two countries, but if it was a strategy, you should have sent some letters, but so far I have not seen anything. This is not a letter at all.
As for the incident, it was obvious that the two countries had turned against each other.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
The people under my command were all on the verge of crying. Many people were sitting on the city wall. They didn't know where their future was, especially when there were so many troops outside the city, and the surrounding area was full of Tang Dynasty soldiers.
They had seen this kind of ballistae on the battlefield. It only took two volleys to destroy the walls of Goguryeo.
"God is really going to kill me. The king is right. I shouldn't be so conceited. I still want to rely on the influence of these two countries to defend the capital of Goguryeo and wait for the king to come back. Now it seems that I am too naive. Order the following
Please open the city gate, let us go to meet the Tang army together, there is no need to fight..."
When Gai Yuan Suwen said these words, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that this guy would resist to the end. If he resisted to the end, how many of us would be left alive.
Outside the city wall, hundreds of thousands of troops were watching eagerly. As long as their general ordered the artillery fire, the capital of Goguryeo would instantly turn into ruins, and a large number of troops and civilians in the entire city would die.
There was black smoke everywhere inside the city wall. Since the Tang army began to encircle the city, the entire city had been in chaos. Many people felt that they would die no matter what, so they started robbing houses and collecting houses in order to cover up their own mistakes.
At the beginning, it was possible to suppress it, but later even the government troops joined in this kind of robbery, and the only people who suffered were the people of Goguryeo. In this case, how can you expect to defend the city? Wait until the war situation breaks out.
When it gets fierce, maybe the people in the city will help the Tang army...
