The Goguryeo warrior had a cold face and a hard tongue. He couldn't pronounce words clearly and said, "What does this have to do with us? Twenty or so of us sneaked into Huating Town from Goguryeo, and now there are only these three or five left. We couldn't do our best unless it was us.
Try your best, it's really like a mantis stalking a cicada, and the house bird is behind... It's not a crime of war. The Tang Dynasty navy is powerful, and all the troops are equipped with firearms. Once the secrets are revealed, the navy soldiers will swarm in and die without a place to bury them!
"
Don't look at the fact that everyone in Goguryeo is clamoring now, saying that if the Tang Dynasty dares to attack, they will never come back. They also threaten to capture His Majesty Li Er and exchange for a few princesses to be used as concubines for the generals...
How strong the words are, how much the heart needs them.
Dozens of millions of elite troops are stationed at the border, sharpening their swords and preparing their troops at all times. The entire Goguryeo has been in turmoil for a long time. It is said that the dignitaries in Pyongyang even sleep with one eye open, fearing that the Tang Dynasty Navy will directly follow the Haishui River.
As soon as he woke up, he came to the city and became a slave to the subjugation of the country...
Especially for the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, which traveled across the ocean, it could land directly at any place and cut off the food routes of the Goguryeo army, and it could also continuously supply the Tang army with supplies, which made Goguryeo even more fearful.
…
The whole country of Goguryeo was on guard against the Tang Dynasty, which had already begun more than ten years ago.
In the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turkic leader Li Khan, and King Rongliu of Goguryeo sent envoys to congratulate him and submit a map of the territory. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er ordered to send Sun Shi, the commander-in-chief of Guangzhou Dudufu, to recover Sui Yang.
During the Emperor's Eastern Expedition, the generals were killed in battle and their remains were destroyed, and the capitals built by Goguryeo were destroyed.
King Rongliu was deeply afraid that the Tang Dynasty would once again continue the Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition strategy, and hoped to devote all the efforts of the country to building a Great Wall that was more than a thousand miles long, running through the north and south, and blocking the Tang army from outside the Great Wall.
However, can the Great Wall be repaired if it is desired?
Goguryeo was a small country with few people. Even if the whole country recruited civilians and the whole country ate rice bran, they could not build a thousand-mile-long Great Wall. Therefore, this great idea could only exist in the documents of King Yeongliu. It lasted more than a thousand years.
Later, the stickmen who regarded the Goguryeo people as their ancestors discovered this clue from the pile of old papers and were suddenly excited!
This is evidence that the great Goguryeo was once invincible!
Have you seen it? The Han people can build the Great Wall, and so can we Goguryeo. Maybe the Great Wall built by the Han people has been passed down for a long time. It is said to have come from Goguryeo. All the Great Walls owned by the Han family were actually built by the Goguryeo people...
It's just a pity that after searching the land of Liaodong and the mountains and rivers on the peninsula, no trace of the so-called "Great Wall of Goguryeo" was found, not even a single brick or tile.
This is very embarrassing. Generally speaking, certain buildings that have existed in history will collapse and be damaged due to the erosion of time and changes in the earth's crust, thus being annihilated in the invincible years. However, no matter how they collapse or erode, they will never be destroyed.
You can't even find a brick or a tile, right?
Facts have proven that the so-called "Great Wall of Goguryeo" definitely does not exist.
But the Goguryeo people were smart and could not build a real Great Wall, so what could they use to resist the invincible army of the Tang Dynasty?
Someone came up with a way to build mountain fortresses along the mountains in central Liaodong, and then built these mountain fortresses into a line...
After sixteen years, the "Great Wall" was finally built. Yuan Gaisuwen led the entire country's troops to defend these mountain fortresses to resist the conquests of the Tang Dynasty.
…
Chen Bing's hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong were like a sharp sword hanging over Goguryeo's head. It could fall anytime, anywhere, and it would definitely fall. Therefore, Goguryeo always spoke harshly when facing the Tang Dynasty, but they were really afraid in their hearts.
of a horse...
Changsun Langjun's face was hidden under the bamboo hat, and his expression was not visible, but his tone was quite disdainful: "In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will ensure that you will be fine."
The Goguryeo warrior obviously didn't believe it, and muttered: "Why are you bragging? You have become a lost dog yourself, and you can still save me? I only hope that you can still be so calm and composed when you meet Fang Er."
Changsun Langjun fell silent.
There seemed to be a sudden chill in the air...
The Goguryeo warrior swallowed a gulp of saliva. He knew in his heart that the eldest grandson Langjun was very valued by Da Molizhi. If he offended him and pushed the responsibility for the failure of this operation onto his own mountain, he would be furious when he returned to Goguryeo.
Da Moli lit the sky lantern...
"All you have to do is obey Mr. Changsun's orders. Whatever you say, I will do it!"
Under the power, the Goguryeo warriors decisively gave in.
Changsun Langjun remained silent and stood motionless in front of the window. He seemed to be still angry. After a while, he said coldly: "Disrespecting the general's orders is really a taboo in the army. Now you and I
They are disloyal and have many doubts about my orders. If they continue to act, they may be overthrown. In this case, it is better to return to Goguryeo as soon as possible."
The Goguryeo warrior was shocked and said quickly: "Sir, please calm down. It's not my fault, I will apologize to you..."
"I can't bear it! The general belongs to the Goguryeo royal family, has a high position, and is deeply trusted by Da Molizhi. How dare I be your apology? If you really want to apologize, please ask the general to go to Da Molizhi after returning to Goguryeo.
Apologize. In the final analysis, I am just an outsider. Whether I can obtain the Sky-shattering Thunder, whether I can alienate the Emperor of Tang Dynasty from trusting Fang Jun, and Su Dingfang’s thoughts, what does it have to do with me?"
After saying this, Changsun Langjun reached out and grabbed the coir raincoat hanging on the table beside him, put it on his body calmly, turned around and went downstairs.
The Goguryeo warrior's face was livid, but he dared not speak out in anger. He could only stamp his feet fiercely, followed the eldest son Langjun downstairs, walked out of the door, and walked into the rain.
*****
Huating Town.
The smashed warehouse on the pier has been cleaned up, and the mutilated corpses of the soldiers who were killed in the explosion collected from the ruins have been collected. However, the power of the thunder is huge, and many more bombs explode together, and the corpses of the soldiers are all gone.
It is dilapidated and difficult to recognize.
The navy has its own system. Although these soldiers were not killed on the battlefield, they were killed by thieves while guarding ordnance and supplies, which was equivalent to sacrificing their lives for the country. Therefore, their bodies were collected and buried on the west side of Wusongkou on another day.
On top of the hill, there is a cemetery for fallen naval officers.
Since its establishment, the Royal Navy has been fighting foreign countries and has never targeted the country. Even though most of the pirates it destroyed were Han Chinese, because they had already turned into bandits, they were not considered citizens of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the cemetery
There is a huge stone tablet standing on the hillside with the four characters "Serve the country with loyalty", which makes the reputation of the Navy widely supported among the people.
Pei Xingjian had been busy at the town office until now. When he saw that the sky was getting dark and the candles were lit on the desk, he put down the brush in his hand, got up and went to the window, and stretched while looking at the patter of rain outside the window.
A wave of exhaustion came over me, my stomach was empty, and there was a thunderous sound...
It happened that Su Dingfang and Shangguan Yi walked in from outside, and Pei Xingjian hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Then he ordered the clerk to prepare a table of wine and food, and the three of them enjoyed dinner in the guest room.
Between pushing the cups and changing the cups, the three of them were in a particularly comfortable mood.
This sudden change has made the situation suddenly tense. If it cannot be handled properly, its subsequent influence will be too great. Not only Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang will not be able to escape the blame, but even Fang Jun, who is still in Guanzhong, will be implicated.
This is basically a conspiracy against Fang Jun...
Fortunately, Zhang Mingpu was careful enough to leave a flaw in Wang Jingxun, which was tightly grasped by Pei Xingjian, and the situation was broken.
It is not considered a breakthrough. After all, the lost Sky Thunder has not yet been found. Fang Jun still has to bear a certain amount of responsibility, but compared to the previous dangerous situation, it is already insignificant.
Pei Xingjian toasted Su Dingfang and said with a smile: "Zhang Mingpu put his horse in a good position. This way, the situation loses its sense of urgency and Chang'an can move around without having to make His Majesty face the mastermind behind the matter. Otherwise, even if the case
His Majesty will not be happy if it is completely solved. Now it is very different. Although the final culprit cannot be traced in this case, it is what His Majesty wants to see. Moreover, Erlang was punished for this, and His Majesty will inevitably feel a debt of gratitude. Sometimes being aggressive may not be enough.
If you succeed, you may not suffer a loss even if you are simple and ignorant."
Su Dingfang drank a glass of wine, sighed slightly, and said: "In the past, a certain person was in the army. He was strong and upright. He did not rub sand in his eyes. He only knew how to go into battle to kill the enemy. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. However, he was never reused and his ambition could not be extended.
, it was not until I reached my age that I understood some principles of life. I was recommended by Erlang, trusted by His Majesty, and had a prosperous official career. However, I also lost some of the beliefs I once held on to. I don’t know whether it was good or bad, and I often lamented and was confused.
…”
The ideal is noble, but the reality is too cruel.
Some people stick to their beliefs and persevere, even if they are born at the wrong time and their fate is wasted, they can leave a lasting reputation; some people have to live with the world due to the circumstances of the world, but they can let go and do something great, but they also lose it.
The most precious persistence.
Which one is better or worse?
Who is right and who is wrong?
No one can tell the difference.
Shangguan Yi on the side was silent for a moment and said softly: "We are born as human beings, and we only need to be worthy of heaven and earth. When the coffin is sealed a hundred years later, if we can leave even a scratch in the history of history, then this life will be worthwhile.
