Ming Lin Dafu fell down on the ground to plead guilty, while Gongsun Xun held a bronze wine glass and looked coldly at the person at his feet.
In other words, after this battle, the latter's authority in the army was naturally needless to say. Therefore, from Xu Rong to Gongsun Yue, no one around him dared to say a word. In Goguryeo's ridiculous palace, for a while,
There was silence.
However, to be honest, Gongsun Xun was not weighing the pros and cons as the officers around him thought. He was just carefully observing the little old man at his feet... Because at this moment, he was actually a little confused and puzzled.
Is this person loyal or traitorous?
A country is in power and the capital is still there, but why did you come here to surrender?
Still begging for him to remain in power after the war?
Do you want to send away your own king?
Do you still want to measure a country's material resources and seek your own favor?
Judging from these few points, this person is really extremely immoral and has absolutely no loyalty at all!
However, Gongsun Xun also heard the other party's real insistence, which was to let the Han army not attack the capital of Goguryeo under any circumstances, but to allow Goguryeo to carry out comprehensive military operations in a form that was humiliating but still maintained as a national entity.
surrender!
From this perspective, Ming Lin Dafu is undoubtedly doing his best to safeguard the survival of his country... After all, the main force of Goguryeo's soldiers and horses is now lost, and only the 1,500 palace guards in the capital and some noble private soldiers are
, even if it is 'unity', it is just 'may not be possible', and once it is captured, Goguryeo, which has been inherited for nearly two hundred years, may really be destroyed!
Speaking of loyalty at this time, is there any more loyal behavior at all costs for the survival of the country? As for the personal and family selfishness hidden behind this kind of loyalty, it may not be impossible, right?
Selfishness and righteousness, loyalty and cunning, the individual and the country, are they really incompatible and do they have to choose one or the other?
Besides, in a few hundred years, if Goguryeo still exists, then he might still be a model of enduring humiliation and bearing the burden!
"I'll ask Mo Lizhi two more things." Gongsun Xun walked behind him and finally spoke again. "I hope you can be honest."
"I must tell you everything I know." Ming Lin replied quickly.
"Why did you agree to Ke Liu's ridiculous plan that day?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously, holding the bronze wine glass in his hand. "Ke Liu was blinded by the future, but as the leader of the country, didn't you think about the risks of this war?
?Didn’t you expect that after a battle that overturned the country and ended up like this?"
"The general is really wise and powerful..."
"There's no need to say more." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneered.
"It's not flattery, it's the truth." Ming Lindufu, who was lying on the ground, replied seriously. "On that day, I learned from Kelu's mouth that the general was false and true, so I hesitated before agreeing... The general is only two years old this year.
He was in his early teens and came from an aristocratic family. He was in charge of a big city like Xiangping at a young age. It was only right to be young and vigorous and eager to make contributions. Then, of the ten thousand troops, half were miscellaneous men who fought independently and only knew how to ride and shoot. Three or four thousand
The Liaodong Civil Defense Army has only been formed for a few months, and only the 1,500 people from Xuantu are considered elite. If the army takes even half a step away from Zuoyuan, who can say that it is not in danger of destruction?"
Gongsun Xun did not interrupt the other party this time.
"As for you, General, not only did you swallow the bait and remove the hook, but you also led a group of bastards and the civilian defense was well-defended, which made our 40,000 to 50,000 troops almost despair before sitting in the original camp. Forgive me, the key to this battle lies with the General.
To be able to unify the whole army of your army, top and bottom, we should observe the rules and fight when we should fight; it is also because we Goguryeo people are half-hearted and find it difficult to persevere..."
"This is it." Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted the other party again. "I heard what Zhiliu said, the situation in your country is unstable, so that he can immediately contact the nobles in the military to seize your power after the war goes wrong...
…Since the country is already in such chaos, why do you insist on going your own way and starting a war?"
"Is Ji Liu still alive?" Ming Lin's husband couldn't help but raised his head and asked.
Gongsun Xun ignored him.
Ming Lin's husband immediately nodded: "Yes, I have usurped the country... I am reporting to the general that it is precisely because the situation in the country is unfavorable that I have to take the risk of fighting!"
Gongsun Xun remained speechless, just waiting for the other party to explain.
"General." Ming Lindafu explained frankly. "Goguryeo has been a country for nearly two hundred years. On the one hand, like Fuyu and Xianbei, we are mainly based on clans and tribes. On the other hand, we are constantly studying Han classics, building cities, and freeing slaves.
, to enhance the status of the people of the country. Today, all sensible people know that it is right to establish clear laws and turn it into a system like the Han Dynasty. However, the power of tribes and clans is too great, even those of us who manage national affairs are sensible people.
If you are from a rich family, how can you sacrifice your own flesh to improve the country?"
At this point, Ming Lin's husband couldn't help but feel sad: "In this way, the country has fallen into a dilemma. It can neither advance nor retreat... But the general trend is that the competition between the countrymen and the nobles is becoming more and more fierce, and I
This government that can barely maintain the situation is getting older and older! In this situation, apart from fighting a big victory, what other way can the country's uproar be temporarily suspended? And if you want to fight a big war, you don't have to fight a big war.
If you want to provoke the Han, do you want to raid the three Koreas? As for if you want to win the war, if you don't lure the enemy deep, then do you want to attack the strong fortress of the Han?"
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
In other words, Ming Lin's words to his husband actually made Gongsun Xun understand a lot more about some of the mysterious and mysterious things that his mother usually talked about... After reading it on paper, he knew that he had to do it in detail.
If you don’t see these smart people with your own eyes and understand how people have ruined their own country like this, you might really think that they are some tragic heroes!
After talking for a long time, isn't it because of my own selfish interests that I know which way is right but don't want to implement it? Instead, I would rather gamble with the future of the entire country! After all, the country belongs to all of them, not just one family.
.
But on the other hand, if the beginning and end of this battle are not clean enough, will it allow this country to completely throw away its historical baggage and then break through and then stand up again?
"I understand this matter." After thinking this, Gongsun Xun finally returned to his seat. "There is one more question I need to ask Mo Lizhi!"
"Please speak frankly, general." Ming Lin answered his husband and quickly bowed his head again.
"Does Mo Lizhi think that the survival of the country can really depend on the generosity of its enemies?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously.
At this time, the surrounding Han army officers were also very nervous... They also saw it. There is no doubt that whether their general will accept the surrender of the surrendered Goguryeo people should be in this question and answer.
"Then what else can I do?" Ming Lindafu raised his head tremblingly, his face as white as his beard. "General Gongsun, although you are young, you are a man who understands interests. Please learn from me. If you accept me,
If you surrender, the gains will be far greater than destroying the city and destroying the country!"
"I, Gongsun Xun, can't do such a thing to deceive a dead man in front of him." Gongsun Xun threw the glass of wine that he had not drunk until now in front of the other party. "Let me speak frankly. If Goguryeo is not eliminated, I may
The income will be more, but for the Han people in several counties in Liaodong a hundred years later, it will definitely become a big trouble! I will not do such a thing to bring disaster to future generations."
Ming Lindafu, who had drink poured on his forehead, fell to the ground, his whole body limp, as if he had understood what the other party meant.
"Drag it down and chop it down!" Gongsun Xun calmly ordered. "Send the head to the prefect of Zuiyuanju, which can be regarded as an explanation for him. Wen Dian and Zibo, who were left behind in Zuiyuan, will immediately send troops here to prepare for the siege of Goguryeo.
The capital of the country...change the cups, and we will have a banquet to enjoy the fruits of your hard work for several days."
Ming Lin's husband was dragged out on the spot, but when someone next to him offered a new wine glass, Xu Rong suddenly appeared.
"General!" Xu Bojin knelt down on one knee and seemed to be apologizing. "Since I have made up my mind to conquer the capital of Goguryeo, I am willing to lead three thousand cavalry first and march quickly to the foot of Ji'an Mountain. By then, if the Goguryeo people are not prepared,
Then we can follow the example of Heshenggu City and capture it directly. If they are prepared, we can also deter them..."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Gongsun Xun smiled and raised his hand. "We have to send a vanguard, but I have just chosen a candidate. Xu Sima has been fighting for days, so he might as well rest for a while. When we attack the city in the future, we will still need your efforts.
.”
Xu Rong immediately did not dare to say anything.
The banquet continued, but after the banquet, for several days, Gongsun Xun only stayed in Heshenggu City to appease the troops and rebuild their morale. He also sent large groups of cavalry to the main passages of Goguryeo to sweep and intimidate, to prevent anyone from raising a banner.
, gathered the defeated troops, but did not see any vanguard he sent to the capital of Goguryeo as he had said before.
But no one dared to ask about this matter, because in the past few days, the whole army felt a little wary in front of him.
You know, the seven or eight thousand cavalry of the Han and Hu coalition forces rushed into the second largest city in Goguryeo. Although it was a good strategic move, the army entering the enemy's city was basically the same as a pack of wolves entering the sheepfold...
After all, you don’t need to think about the military discipline these days, especially the military discipline of a miscellaneous army, to understand what is going on.
Therefore, Gongsun Xun stayed here for several days to rectify military discipline.
It's not that robbery is not allowed, let alone some kind of reorganization, but that he needs to stop excessive criminal behavior and unprovoked behavior other than seizing trophies, because these behaviors will not improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but will make the army lose control. At the same time, he also
It is necessary to gather some property, set aside some things, and distribute the profits to the upcoming rear army.
In short, within a few days, Gongsun Xun looked down and brutally killed a group of people, punished a group of people, and rewarded a group of people... While reorganizing the troops, it also frightened many people and made it impossible for them to do anything.
No one dared to jump around in front of him.
But that was all. Three days later, Lou Gui and Gongsun Fan led the rear army to come to the rescue. Then they heard that the Jutengju prefect and Shen Pei would arrive soon with some soldiers from Xuantu County. Gongsun Xun was also straightforward.
He mobilized tens of thousands of troops, then hoisted his white horse flag, stretched out his formation, and marched toward Ji'an Mountain between the Hun River and the Yalu River.
At the foot of Ji'an Mountain is the capital of the Goguryeo people, which was founded nearly two hundred years ago. However, no weapons have been seen here for more than a hundred years.
However, during the march, an interesting thing happened... It turned out that Prefect Xuantu was too eager to take credit for his achievements, so after being dumped by Gongsun Xun in Siyuan, he
Once when he came to Heshenggu City, he found that he was thrown away again. He held his neck and tried hard, and actually handed over Heshenggu City to Shenpei for garrison. Then this dignified man paid two thousand stones.
He actually led only a dozen followers, and in a chaotic and war-torn area, Qingqi caught up with a large army, which was completely frustrating!
There is really nothing we can do. He only has two thousand dan, so of course Gongsun Xun must give him enough face and position him properly... However, don't think about interfering with military power and command power.
However, the first few days were fine, but later on, knowing that he could not truly seize military power, and knowing that the officers below would not listen to him, the drama governor was always itching in his heart and couldn't help but point fingers.
This made Gongsun Xun, who often had to accompany this guy, feel uncomfortable.
In this way, one night before the Chinese New Year, after several days of marching, the Han army finally arrived at the foot of Ji'an Mountain and camped on the spot. Then all the senior officers of the army gathered together to discuss the start and end of tomorrow's battle.
"Since this city is located at the foot of Ji'an Mountain, can we stand on Ji'an Mountain and get a glimpse of the reality from a high position?" In the Chinese army's tent, as soon as the military discussion began, Ju Teng, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but speak.
"Maybe?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting with the other party, replied helplessly. "How about the dramatist go and have a peek at the truth overnight? If the city is unprepared, just ask the dramatist to lead the people from the mountain wrapped in leather rugs and roll into the city.
, and then either open the city gate from the inside, or directly kill the King of Goguryeo, then this battle can be won in one day."
"Wen Qi, don't be kidding," Ju Teng couldn't help but responded awkwardly. "You can't see the mountain clearly at night. If you fall down, wouldn't your life be ruined?"
"Since you can't even see the mountains clearly at night, how can you get a glimpse of reality?" Gongsun Xun finally choked back.
"I mean to send people up the mountain tomorrow to see what's going on in the city..." Juteng corrected helplessly. "We can also build a small village on the mountain for surveillance."
"No need." Gongsun Xun objected again. "I have made up my mind. Tomorrow I will start felling wood to make bumping logs and ladders. When the equipment is slightly ready, we will attack the city immediately! No need to conduct any surveillance!"
"Isn't it too hasty?" Ju Teng immediately retorted. "Don't you know that you know yourself and the enemy and you can win every battle? Moreover, during the day today, we clearly saw the weather getting gloomy during our march. If it snows, I think we should build a
Fortify the camp for defense..."
"If it is really going to snow, then we should attack the city quickly." Gongsun Xun said immediately. "In case the cold weather and freezing ground make it difficult to attack the city."
"That's true." Ju Teng was stunned when he heard this. "I'm just afraid that the city will learn Wenqi's protective method of splashing water into soldiers in winter..."
"It's okay to learn it. The capital city of Goguryeo has eight gates, and the city wall is wide. If we attack from all sides, the Goguryeo people can't defend it at all..." At this point, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. "As far as I know.
, I’m afraid there aren’t many soldiers capable of fighting in the city now.”
"How do you know?" Juteng was stunned again. "The situation in the city..."
"I have already sent vanguards into the city to disrupt the situation," Gongsun Xun finally answered the mystery impatiently. "Although I don't know everything about the situation in the city now, I can still predict it."
In the Chinese army's tent, Gongsun Xun and Juteng's status far surpassed that of everyone else, so when the two of them were talking nonsense, the rest of the people were just watching, sitting on their horses and not daring.
Move... However, as soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Because, really no one knows who Gongsun Xun sent to sneak into the city first... There are not many people in the army?!
"You sent a vanguard to sneak into the city?" Ju Teng was also surprised for a moment. "How many people did you send?"
"Two people!" Gongsun Xun replied proudly.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Ju Teng immediately became furious. "Mr. Gongsun, I know that you single-handedly raised this army, and I also know that everyone in the army respects you because of the previous battle in Siyuan, but you must also know
, I am also a dignified country with two thousand stones, and there are five or six thousand people in the army who are my Xuantu County sergeants... I kindly ask you about your strategy, even if you are impatient, why do you need to insult me? "
"I have not insulted the drama master." Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "It is true that only two people were sent as vanguards! One of them is the dumb brother of Keli, who is now the leader of the Guan Na tribe and the former guard general Mi Ru.
The people had already set out three days before I set out; and before I set out, I released the surrendered general, the former left minister of Goguryeo, and the leader of Huan's tribe... I heard that the battle from Liyuan
Later, on the way here, the dramatist found someone to do a detailed homework on the existence of this war in Goguryeo. Then how many soldiers do you think my two vanguards can serve as?"
Ju Teng was stunned on the spot.
————I am the dividing line that has an idea————
"The attack on Goguryeo... (Goguryeo) has always respected the six tribes, and the six tribes share the government. Although the throne can be replaced. When the Rongna tribe gradually rose, its chief (Minglin) responded to his husband and abolished it. There were many royal families.
To be destroyed, to survive in name but in reality, one of them is to be removed; later, the chief of the tribe of Guan Na can consider the plan of sitting on the original position. If the incident is defeated, he will be the leader of the Rong Na tribe, and the Huan tribe will be executed by the army; and if the army is defeated, the tribe will be killed.
My husband was beheaded by the Han army, so I left him with my younger brother Miru, who had been left behind to beg for surrender. Miru went ahead for three days and entered the royal city. He gathered a crowd and killed all the young and old in the rafters, in order to appease the revenge of his brother's murder, and then killed the other two;
When Yu Zhiliu came back, Miru tried to kill him again. Zhiliu was greatly frightened, so he led his troops to counterattack. The two joined forces one after another and fought hand-to-hand in the royal city for several days, until seventy-eight of the ten troops were killed. However, when the Han army arrived at the royal city, it was like this
When they entered a deserted area, they left four of them. When Xun heard about it in the army, he sighed in sorrow: "I originally wanted to kill only the first evil general and release the two generals, but the country will be destroyed, and the brothers are hiding behind the wall. How can they be content here?"
