Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2107

Sun Dazhong threw a wooden stick far away, and said: "Little General, I'm sorry, for the sake of the commander's life, I have to do this."

"How could I blame General Sun. Without further ado, let's save the old man and rush out!"

Good deeds do not go out and evil deeds travel thousands of miles. Jiang Yishi wants to resist to the death, but few people have heard of it.But the news that he had escaped quickly spread.

"Dashuai Jiang ran away! Dashuai Jiang ran away!"

"The old man has run away, what are we still doing here? Let's run!"

"Father and mother marry, one person cares about one's own! No one can count on it, so we can only count on our own two legs!"

All of a sudden, everyone was brave—running for their lives, all scrambling to grab their horses, the whole army was defeated, and they fled in all directions!

Those who were killed by the Tang army, those who were killed by their own people, those who trampled to death by each other, and even those who were burned to death, are countless.

By the time Jiang Yishi woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

He opened his eyes, only to find that he was still inside a tent, which was fully furnished.

How is this going?

Was everything last night a nightmare?

But this nightmare is too real, right?And the back of the head seems to be aching too!

"Come on!"

"Here!" A soldier ran in and said, "Marshal, are you awake?"

"Let me ask you, where are we?"

"Suyang Gang."

"Suyanggang?" The old man frowned, and said, "It's eighty miles away from Liaodong City. Could it be that... we really lost?"

The soldier said with a bitter face: "Yes, we were indeed defeated. You refused to leave at that time, it was General Sun Dazhong who knocked you out and brought you away from the dangerous place."

"Sun Dazhong misunderstood me!" Jiang Yishi slammed a few cases, and suddenly felt dizzy.He forcefully said: "Has Yuge also escaped?"

"The little general is safe and sound."

"You call him over."

"Here."

After a while, Jiang Yuge stepped into the tent, knelt down on the ground, and said, "See you, Commander!"

"Get up."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yuge stood up, and said cautiously: "Last night, General Sun was also thinking about your safety, and for a while..."

Jiang Yishi waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about now? Let him get over the past. Let me ask you, how many people do we have now?"

"Uh... about 5 people have been gathered. It is estimated that by night, we can gather [-] people!"

"Eighty thousand? Eighty thousand? Unexpectedly, the old man has 28 troops, and now, only [-] are left!"

"Grandpa, don't worry, it's not your fault, it's all the fault of the demon monk! If he hadn't blackmailed you, the morale of the army wouldn't have fluctuated. If he hadn't spread rumors, people wouldn't have panicked."

Jiang Yishi said in a deep voice, "Are you asking the old man to shirk his responsibility?"

"Of course it's not to shirk responsibility, it's just discussing the facts."

"Hmph, it cannot be said that Master Xincheng was not responsible at all for this defeat. But it is nonsense to say how much responsibility he really had. The main responsibility for this matter lies with the old man! In terms of fighting, I can't wait Go to the Duke Qin of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Grandpa, why did you say that?"

"A big defeat the day before yesterday made the soldiers afraid of the Tang army. It was nothing at first, but the most important thing is that the four high towers collapsed in an instant, which directly frightened the soldiers in the army. This is our defeat. proximate cause."

"Do you still think it was written by Qin Guogong Guo Ye?"

"Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far away."

Jiang Yuge said hesitantly: "Grandpa, there is a saying that my grandson doesn't know whether to say or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"If you want to give a memorial to His Majesty, don't write it like that. Now that Master Zheng is dead, and you take the responsibility on yourself, let's not talk about whether the position of marshal can be secured. I am afraid that Jiang's family will also be destroyed. disaster."

The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid?"

"For Goguryeo, my grandson is not afraid of death, but he is unwilling to die so meaninglessly."

"Don't worry, the old man will not let you die."

"So you agree?"

"Hmph, this old man is not someone who seeks merit and shirks blame! Whose fault should be his fault. But..." Jiang Yishi smiled slyly and said, "Who told you that we will definitely lose this time?"

"We lost 20 troops in one fell swoop, and the [-] troops in Liaodong City are also in danger. Isn't that considered a defeat?"

"That's not necessarily true. Of the 20 troops we lost, it is estimated that no more than 10 people died in battle. Most of them escaped and refused to come back, or were captured by the Tang army. The nature of the Son of Heaven will never massacre the city, right?"

Jiang Yuge scratched his head and said, "Even if there were not many dead, you still lost so many soldiers?"

"What is that? As long as we turn defeat into victory in the future, the meat will rot in the pot anyway, won't these people come back?"

"Grandpa, are you okay? Our Goguryeo's all-powerful soldiers have been defeated, and you still want to turn defeat into victory?"

"I think that when Emperor Sui Yang's army reached Pyongyang, didn't we turn defeat into victory? That's where we came from."

"Are you sure?"

"Don't worry. Our Goguryeo family is not the only one fighting Datang this time. Even though he won such a big victory, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is still doomed..."

Chapter 1931 On the Rewards for Deeds

Tang camp, the tent of the Chinese army.

His Majesty Li Er was high-spirited, with a smile on his face, and said: "Declaration of my will, all soldiers in the army will be rewarded with three bowls of wine and a catty of meat to celebrate this great victory. In addition, each ministry will report the names of the soldiers who have made meritorious service, and I will reward you separately." .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er glanced around, and said: "All my loves, who is the number one hero in this battle?"

Everyone said in unison: "Qin Guogong Guoye!"
