Chapter 1,192 Entering the city and returning to life
Gao Yanwu closed the door and stood to one side with his hands tied, his expression respectful.
Yuan Nanjian threw the bamboo hat aside, walked to the desk and sat down, heaving a sigh of relief and said: "I almost let Changsun Chong find out just now. If it arouses doubts in that guy's heart, something will happen suddenly this time."
He mingled among the troops, but subconsciously glanced at Chang Sun Chong when he passed by him. Unexpectedly, Chang Sun Chong was so alert, and he immediately followed his gaze. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and lowered his head in time, so he didn't
discovered by it.
Otherwise, if he, the leader of the "Wang Zhuang Army", mingled with the army and settled in Anhe Palace, he would inevitably arouse Changsun Chongzhi's suspicion...
Gao Yanwu said: "In this case, what should we do?"
He was only temporarily recruited under Yuan Nanjian's command, and the troops stationed in Anhe Palace this time were all direct descendants of Yuan Nanjian. Although he didn't know why Yuan Nanjian was so secretive and secretive, he knew
Since Yuan Nanjian acted like this without telling everyone, and was worried about being discovered by Changsun Chong, he must be carrying out an extremely important plan. Therefore, there was no need to ask about his intentions, and he did not dare to ask. He could just follow orders.
Yuan Nanjian thought for a while and felt that although Changsun Chong noticed something strange, he didn't necessarily realize that he was among the army. Moreover, his father keeping Changsun Chong was of great use. At this time, whether he could scare the snake or kill Changsun Chong directly, he would
Destroy his father's plan.
He came to the desk and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, all the news that should be sent out by that guy must have been sent out. When he returns to the city, even if there is any news, it will be impossible to send it out."
As long as he enters the city, Changsun Chong will become a key surveillance target. All the secret spies and dead men in Da Molizhi Mansion will keep their eyes on him. Once they find anything wrong with him, they can deal with it in time and never stop it.
I will let him ruin the big thing.
The more critical the moment comes, the more important it is to stay calm and not to mess up the situation.
He ordered: "Unload the weapons from the vehicles immediately, and distribute them directly on the spot without putting them in the warehouse. Although the Dacheng Mountain City is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has now become the main target of the Tang Army. My uncle cannot hold on for long.
Once Dacheng Mountain City falls, the Tang army can take advantage of the situation and storm Anhe Palace while the troops reach the Seven Star Gate. That is the time for us to repay our loyalty!"
"Here!"
Gao Yanwu Surong accepted the order, turned around and strode away.
Yuan Nanjian stood up and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands. He looked out the window at the noise of people shouting and neighing in the camp. Facing the upcoming fierce battle of life and death, not only did he not feel any fear or nervousness in his heart, but he felt a sense of relief and joy.
He has also read books and has heard the saying "Death is lighter than a feather, and heavier than Mount Tai". He can leave a strong mark on history with his flesh and blood, so that the descendants of Goguryeo will be remembered for generations to come.
, everyone praises his achievements and is proud of him. His monument will be passed down to future generations forever. What does it matter even if he dies?
All people are mortal.
*****
When Changsun Chong returned to Pingrang City, the night had already fallen, and the wind and snow were increasing, and the sky and earth were dim. Lanterns had been hung on the Seven Star Gate, and the orange lanterns were swaying in the wind and snow, exuding a faint halo.
.
This city gate, which used to be the most prosperous in the past, has long been closed to traffic, and the surrounding wilderness is desolate, only the wind and snow are rolling, and it is empty and lonely.
When a group of people arrived at the Seven Star Gate, Changsun Chongce rode forward, raised his head and shouted to the city to open the door.
But the soldiers above the city gate remained motionless in the wind and snow, as if they couldn't hear his call at all...
Changsun Chong felt bad. Could something go wrong at the critical moment?
At this moment, Dacheng Mountain City must have been captured, and the Tang army is heading straight towards Anhe Palace. It will not take long to arrive here. If they cannot enter the city, all plans will be in vain...
He waited anxiously in the wind and snow, and after a long cup of tea, there was a noise in the city. Then the boy Houyuan leaned down at the top of the city and looked down. When he saw Changsun Chong, he waved.
Changsun Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
The heavy city gate was opened from the inside, and the door shaft made a "creak" sound as it slowly opened. Changsun Chong quickly waved his hand behind him, and a group of people speeded up and entered the city.
Heavy snow fell in the city, and there was no one on the streets.
The city gate behind him closed with a "bang", which made Changsun Chong feel tense. There are two worlds inside and outside the city. Although it is impossible to achieve greater achievements outside the city, he can return to the camp when the Tang army arrives.
, barely able to return to Chang'an; entering the city, in front of you is the first attack of the Eastern Campaign, but it may also be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you are not careful, you will be turned into powder, and you will be hated for the rest of your life.
But at this moment, there is no room for change, the only choice is to move forward and establish special merits...
Boy Yuan walked down the stone steps from the side of the city with a gloomy face. He came to Changsun Chong and cursed in a low voice: "These bastards! I really thought that if the Tang army broke the city, they could turn over and continue to work in glory and wealth.
Pretending to be a blessing? Bah! You are so stupid!"
Changsun Chong raised his head and glanced at the tall tower and said: "A descendant of the royal family?"
Boy Yuan nodded and asked someone to bring the horses over.
Changsun was shocked.
Now, if there is no one who most hopes that the Tang army will break the city and Yuan Gaisuwen die, it is the royal family of the Gao family. If the Tang army had not launched a large-scale eastward expedition in early spring and the war was raging all over Liaodong, Yuan Gaisuwen would have usurped the throne and plotted rebellion.
He raised his butcher knife and slaughtered all members of the Gao family, then stole the throne and announced it to the world.
The Eastern Expedition of the Tang Army delayed the process of usurping the throne of Yuengai Suwen, so that he did not dare to anger the forces loyal to the royal family at this time, let alone suffer the infamy of the world, arouse the anger of heaven and earth, and lose the war.
However, as long as the Tang army cannot conquer Pingrang City and return without success, then Yuan Gaisuwen will usurp the throne, either to threaten the "Zen throne" or to kill them all. The Gao family will fight from top to bottom.
One survived...
It can be said that the Tang Army's Eastern Expedition brought the Gao family back from the gate of hell.
As long as the Tang army breaks through Pingrang City, it will definitely kill Yuengai Suwen, because this is the reason why the Tang army announced to the world at the beginning of its army. "Conquering disloyal subjects" and "rebellion and recklessness" are the charges that the Tang army gave Yuengai Suwen.
This shows that the name of the Eastern Expedition is justified.
Naturally, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot blindly conquer and plunder like the barbarian countries. Even though the essence is not different, it must give an explanation to the world.
In this way, appeasing "orthodoxy" is political correctness.
Although after this battle, the power of the Gao royal family will be greatly weakened, it can also turn the corner and escape the danger of being massacred by Yeon Gaesumun's conspiracy to usurp the throne. Even from now on, the entire Goguryeo will be under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.
The capital protects the mansion, which is much better than the death of the entire clan...
Seeing Mr. Yuan getting on the horse, Changsun Chong sneered and said: "Let those stupid thieves be rampant for a while. When the Tang army enters the city, the prince will wait and see their fate."
Although the Tang Dynasty's first priority was to eradicate Yeon Gaesumun, who dominated the military and political power of Goguryeo, how could it safely support the "orthodox" Goguryeo royal family to ascend to power?
Even if you want to support, you must first establish an opponent to check and balance the Gao royal family to prevent one family from becoming dominant. Yuan Boyan is the best choice; secondly, you must cut off the wings of the Gao royal family so that they have no "legitimacy."
He has a good reputation, but he doesn't have the strength to match it.
Pruning these branches of the royal family of Gao is naturally the meaning of the title.
Except for the direct descendants of the Treasure King, the rest will be purged on a large scale to ensure that the Tang army controls the Goguryeo region...
These people were unaware that death was imminent, and they still hoped that the Tang army could cut off Yuan Gaisuwen and regain the power of the Gao family.
Naturally, Mr. Yuan also understood this truth. He shook his head on the horse and rarely restrained his emotions: "Leave them alone and let them continue to seek death. Hurry to the mansion. Father has another appointment for you."
The two of them rode side by side, with their soldiers and horses following behind. As they rode, Chang Sun Chong asked, "What arrangements will Da Molizhi have for me?"
He was a little worried in his heart, fearing that Yeon Gaesumun would be cautious at such a critical moment and leave him alone, which would cause serious problems.
Yuan Nan said: "I don't know, I'll probably let you continue to defend the south of the city."
Changsun Chong frowned and said: "If that's the case, there may be many obstacles in the implementation of our plan..."
Opening the Seven Star Gate to welcome the Tang army into the city was a step that the two of them had planned for a long time. Once this was done, Changsun Chong could return to Chang'an with the first attack of the Eastern Expedition and his status would be greatly improved. He would no longer be the bereaved dog in exile in the past.
.Yuan boys can also be rewarded for this achievement, and then become the "spokesmen" of the Tang Dynasty. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, they can be promoted to high positions to maintain the power of the Yuan family and continue to govern Goguryeo.
