Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

He paused for a moment, then continued: "Marshal Jiang, do you think the sergeants will be greatly inspired and their morale will suddenly rise after hearing the news?"

Jiang Yishi said in his heart that you have seen a ghost if this method works!Rumors can spread so widely because they all have some basis in fact.

But you Monk Faithful, in Koguryo we are synonymous with sycophants, you can get to the top, all by helping the king to assassinate brothers.

Who would believe that you are a good monk who specializes in doing such immoral things?Your blessings and curses have a purpose!

Despite secretly slandering him, Jiang Yishi did not dare to tell the truth.In any case, as a national teacher, it is his job to pray for the country.Can you, Jiang Yishi, stop him?

Besides, although there is no obvious benefit to this matter, there is no harm either.Find something to do for the old monk, and save him from causing trouble.

Jiang Yishi said: "Okay, the national teacher's plan is very good. Your morality is profound and your magic power is boundless. This approach will definitely win our army a complete victory! The soldiers will definitely increase their morale when they know it. Old man This is to thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the three armed forces."

"Master Jiang, you don't have to be polite, this is the job of a poor monk."

As soon as Jiang Yishi agreed, Monk Falin immediately summoned people, and the construction of the four high platforms started at the same time.He also declared that Gaotai represented the national destiny of Goguryeo.Gaotai is there, and Goguryeo is there.If you want Goguryeo to perish, unless the high platform collapses.

How could the well-built high platform collapse?People felt that this was another method used by the great monk to encourage everyone.

Although people don't really believe in this statement, they are happy to spread it everywhere.The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, how can Datang be so easy to deal with?A little more confidence counts.

Monk Falin thought to himself that by now, [-]% of the tasks entrusted to him by the Qin State Bus had been completed.

In fact, whether it's blackmailing Jiang Yishi or spreading rumors, that's not the point.The real purpose of these methods was not to lower the morale of the Goguryeo army, but to set up doubts and stir up Jiang Yishi's heart.

The real killer feature of this trip is these four high platforms.As long as you make good use of these four high platforms, you will be better than a million soldiers.

Everything will be revealed on the night of the fifth day of August.

After Xue Rengui and Monk Falin were dispatched, Guo Ye's army marched slowly for a full six days before joining forces with Zhang Liang's army at Liaodong City.

Although the imperial decree stated that the tens of thousands of Tang troops were fully commanded by Guo Ye.But he didn't dare to trust her, so he took the initiative to visit her.

In any case, Zhang Liang has served as the commander-in-chief of this army for more than a year, and the necessary respect still needs to be given.

In addition, the titles of the two are the same, and Zhang Liang is older.Even if he took the initiative to visit, it is not ashamed.

Although the two had many conflicts before, Zhang Liang still warmly welcomed Guo Ye into the camp.

The two sides divided the guest and host into seats, and after a while of pleasantries.

Guo Ye took out the imperial decree and said: "This is the decree sent by General Xue Rengui, Marquis of Jiangzhou, by His Majesty. Would you like to have a look at it, Lord Xun Guo?"

Zhang Liang frowned, and said, "Jiangzhou Marquis Xue Rengui? I haven't heard of him."

"Uh, he is the apprentice of Li Jing, Duke of Wei. Because of his meritorious service in rescuing Jiangxia King Li Daozong, he was promoted to thirteen ranks by His Majesty, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Jiangzhou."

"Is there another matter? Impossible. Don't say that he rescued King Jiang Xia, even if he has the merit of saving him, he can't even be promoted to thirteenth level?"

"This... the country is in trouble and thinks of a good general. His Majesty is trapped here. The promotion of him may mean buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars."

Zhang Liang shook his head, and said, "It's a little unbelievable anyway. If you bring Xue Rengui here, I will ask him face to face."

"It's not a coincidence. His Majesty is eager to see through the rescuers. I have already asked him to return to his life."

"That's it...forget it, since Qin Guogong is willing to be a guarantor, the old man is fine."

"Then this edict..."

"But I don't know what is written on it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want me to quickly conscript the Khitan and Xi tribe's soldiers and horses to join you with your [-] soldiers, and quickly rescue His Majesty."

"Even if there is no such decree, can someone like Zhang just sit back and watch His Majesty's distress? It's worth not to read this decree."

"Uh... the imperial decree also said that someone Guo should control your 3 horses."

"You want to seize the old man's military power?"

"Although it doesn't sound very nice, you can also understand it that way. This is His Majesty's will, and Mr. Guo is also acting according to the order."

Zhang Liang frowned, and said: "This is not easy to handle. To be honest, I don't know how to lead troops. If you are willing to take over these tens of thousands of troops, I would like to. But..."

"how?"

"How can military and state affairs be passed on to each other in private?"

Guo Ye was anxious, and said: "This is the sacred decree, how can it be regarded as a private grant?"

"Hmph, Xue Rengui is a strange person. Who knows if this decree is true or not."

"Then see for yourself!"

"If this edict was forged by the Goguryeo people, how can I tell the difference?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "I understand now, Lord Xun, you intend to disrespect the order! Let me tell you, these tens of thousands of troops are not your private soldiers, but His Majesty's soldiers and horses. Even if you want to No matter what kind of moth, it is very difficult to succeed."

"No, Qin Guogong, you misunderstood." Zhang Liang waved his hands again and again, and said: "Ms. Zhang is not disrespectful, but just wants to be more cautious. Xue Rengui's promotion is too bizarre, and he is not here now. Just one death Things, let me hand over the army, it is really..."

"I'm not talking nonsense with you. The sacred decree is for this, are you obedient or disobedient?"

"I...how about it, Duke Qin, I have a discussion with you."

"what's up?"

"This matter is really a bit strange, but I can't disobey the imperial decree. How about this, our two armies will fight together. What you say makes sense, and I will obey your general's order."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Then what if what I said is unreasonable?"

Chapter 1928 Capture the Army

"If the old man thinks that your general orders are reckless, that's easy, just ask Qin Guogong to change his action plan."

"If you change the action plan, do you still think it's a mess?"

"The two of us will continue to discuss. If one day fails, it will take two days, and if two days fail, it will take three days. We can always discuss a plan of action that is acceptable to both parties."

"Two days if one day is not enough, three days if two days are not enough?" Guo Ye sneered, "Then if you, Zhang Liang, keep disagreeing, wouldn't you have to drag it on forever? The food and grass in His Majesty's camp can't last long."

"Then Qin Guogong means..."

"There is nothing to say, everything is done according to the order. You, Zhang Liang, are willing to listen to my general's order, or you are not willing to listen to my general's order. I don't care about you. After the siege is relieved by His Majesty, someone will naturally settle accounts with you. But your [-] troops must come under my command."

"What if the old man disagrees?"
