Chapter 3186
Boca City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the largest ferry on the Yalu River is under Boca City. If it cannot be captured, it will be attacked by the defenders of Boca City when crossing the river.
Being attacked at Bandu is the biggest taboo on the battlefield, and it will easily lead to disastrous defeat, even the entire army is wiped out.
After receiving the order, Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo hurriedly summoned the army, replenished their ordnance, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Bocao City. The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, ordered their respective troops to go around a mountain by the Yalu River and storm Bocao. The main gate of the Fortress facing the east.
Both of them wore helmets and armor, came to the front line in person, led the battle team with a horizontal knife in their hands, regardless of the feathers, arrows and rocks shot from the top of the city like a torrential rain, and continued to command the onslaught of the soldiers under their command regardless of casualties.
The cooperation with Xue Wanche these days and the private conversation made Ashina Simao suddenly enlightened.
As a surrendered general, no matter how outstanding he is, it is absolutely impossible to be trusted by His Majesty Li Er like Fang Jun. In any case, there will always be a little bit of precaution.
This is a difference of birth that can never be made up.
However, as a general, one must have the consciousness of a general, "a loyal minister does not serve two masters", since you have already become a "second minister", then don't care about your reputation, no matter how good your reputation is, it is impossible to become famous in history A generation of famous generals?
Civil servants can choose the master and do things, but it is difficult for military commanders to have both sides.
Gein civil servants can only remonstrate and govern the world, but they cannot threaten the emperor's rule. Since ancient times, civil servants have rebelled only a handful of times, and there have been no successful cases.However, military generals are different. They control the soldiers and horses, and they have great power. If they are not careful, they can fight back.
Therefore, if a subdued general keeps himself clean and prudent, it will be even more difficult to gain trust.
No scruples when having fun, no care about your own life when fighting, only care about military affairs, don't pay attention to politics, this is the wise way for a surrendered general to protect himself.
Even if he dies in battle, he can still be used by the emperor as a model to promote his ability of "Wencheng Wude, inspiring the world", rewarding him greatly, and conferring his wife and son.
When Ashina Simo heard Xue Wanche say that this was Fang Jun's suggestion, he felt that most of his life had been wasted.
He himself is a Turkic aristocrat, and since he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has been heavily used by His Majesty Li Er, which makes him complacent and arrogant. He feels that he is a trusted minister of His Majesty Li Er, and he will not let go of many civil servants and generals in the court. In the eyes, it is very domineering.
If he hadn't had a clear understanding of his abilities and knew that he didn't have the talent of a "Unrivaled General", maybe his tail would be raised to the sky...
Only now do I know how ignorant I was before, and how I tried to die.
Therefore, when Xue Wanche and Xue Wanche were holding on to Daque Valley, the two sent soldiers to plunder and collect money from the nearby Goguryeo people, and even young and beautiful women filled the camp for enjoyment.
This move was naturally reported by Sima in the army and reprimanded by His Majesty Li Er.
The two didn't take it seriously. Although they restrained a little, those behaviors never stopped.But when it's time to have fun, it's time to enjoy it unscrupulously. His Majesty needs them to attack the city, and the two of them are unambiguous and unreservedly launched a fierce attack on Bocha City.
The siege of the two vanguards without fear of death is earth-shattering.
In the rear camp of the Chinese Army, His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed when he heard the performance of the two men, and smiled to the generals on the left and right: "These two men are rough in character, but they know loyalty and justice, and know how to share your worries, maybe they are not good ministers." , but he can be called a loyal minister!"
The left and right generals were silent.
The soldiers plundered everywhere to collect money, and even took the Goguryeo women into the camp for fun, ignoring the military law as nothing. Can such a generous guy be praised by the emperor?
It just doesn't make sense...
But everyone is not a fool, even though some of them did not understand His Majesty Li Er's words, after a little thought, they suddenly understood.
However, this kind of method works on the surrendered generals, but they can't use it.
The generals don't care about their reputation, the more unscrupulous they are, the more at ease the emperor is, because in the eyes of the Han people, they are not considered the military of the Tang Dynasty.But if this group of veterans who have been following His Majesty to fight the world is like this, it will not only ruin their own reputation, but also the reputation of His Majesty Li Er.
How can His Majesty Li Er, who cherishes his reputation and cherishes his feathers the most, bear it?
So things in the world are sometimes so contradictory, some people can't get what they want, and some people can't afford it.
*****
The night was dark and starry.
Changsun Chong led a group of soldiers out of the Seven Star Gate and returned to the station in Anhe Gongcheng.
The defenders at the main gate of Miyagi saw Changsun Chong at the bottom of the city on the top of the city, and hurriedly opened the palace gate to welcome him into the palace.
200 years ago, Gao Lian, the "Longevity King" of Goguryeo, moved the capital from the "domestic city" to Pingrang, where he built a magnificent palace to live in and rule the world.
The battlefield of Anhe Palace covers more than [-] mu, and the overall shape is square. The city wall is about four feet high and the side is more than two hundred feet long.The scale of the building is extremely grand, and the shape and style are all taken from the regulations of the palace of the Han Dynasty. It was once extravagant.
However, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, the King of Goguryeo Plain built a new city in Pingrang City as the center of national rule, and Anhe Palace was abandoned.
Until now, after decades, the prosperous and beautiful Anhe Palace in the past has collapsed walls and houses, weeds are overgrown, and it is dilapidated.
Inside a palace in the middle palace is where Changsun Chong works and lives.
Back here, he was surrounded by his trusted friends who he brought with him when he fled from home, so that he could relax his tense nerves and gain a moment of stability.
Wandering among the high-ranking officials of Goguryeo all day long, although they all knew that he was from Tang Dynasty, they could not show any intention of inclination towards Datang, otherwise they would be suspected by the suspicious Yuan Gai Suwen, and if he was not careful, he would be killed. It is a fatal disaster.
After washing up, sitting in the hall and about to have dinner, the confidant brought a letter and said in a low voice: "The letter sent by the owner just now, please Dalang have a look."
Changsun Chong didn't care about eating, and went back to the study room on one side with the letterhead, and asked someone to guard the door, while he checked the sealing sealer on the envelope, and saw that the pattern was intact, so he carefully opened it with a small knife, and opened it with a knife. The letterhead was pulled out and set aside.
Then he took a glass of water, put it in his mouth and sprayed it on the envelope, and the envelope showed dim and superficial handwriting.
He leaned next to the oil lamp and looked at it carefully.
After a long while, I just rubbed my eyes and lamented the poverty of Goguryeo. Even candles are extremely expensive luxury goods, and they are rarely sold in the market. Unified purchases, ordinary officials will not be able to get supplies at all.
Then put the envelope and the unread letter paper on the oil lamp, and watched the flames completely swallow the paper, throw it on the ground, and burn it to ashes.
Sitting at the table for a while, got up and pushed open the window to release the smoke formed by burning paper in the house. Standing at the window with hands behind your back, feeling the cool night wind blowing on your face, and the towering trees that have not been taken care of for a long time in the yard grow rampantly , a school of depression and decadence.
Chang Sun Chong was extremely depressed.
He understands that Yuan Gai Suwen's so-called "negotiation of peace" is probably just a tactic to delay the attack, but whenever there is a glimmer of hope for success, he will do his best to facilitate it and will not give up his efforts. After all, after the success of this matter, the credit he has gained is really too great up.
And the reason why Yuan Gai Suwen is still confident to promote it even though he knows that Yuan Gai Suwen is just a tactic to slow down the army is that he believes that His Majesty Li Er must be very anxious because of the war in the Western Regions and the crisis in Hexi. If requested, he will pinch his nose and admit it.
The most important thing in "negotiating peace" is that one of the parties is willing to make concessions and compromise.
But who would have expected that Fang Jun would still be able to rely on the power of firearms to beat [-] to [-] Tuyuhun cavalry to the west of the town with only half of the right guards out of the town of Hexi. The corpses piled up like a mountain, and they had to flee in embarrassment.
The great victory in Hexi was thousands of miles away, but it immediately reversed the situation in Liaodong.
With no worries, His Majesty Li Er became more calm and relaxed. He only needs to defeat Goguryeo's defense before winter to destroy his country.Even, as long as the city of Pingrang can be besieged as soon as possible, it doesn't matter even if it is winter, because the navy can continuously transport the supplies, food and fodder to the city of Pingrang along the Wei River, and support the Tang army in a long siege battle.
In this way, His Majesty Li Er is full of confidence, and basically will not make any concessions on the matter of "negotiating peace", and even turn aggressive.
And Yuan Gai Suwen was headstrong, cruel and cruel, so naturally he would not bow down to others and compromise.
Chang Sunchong let out a long sigh: Time is not with me!
