Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"The old minister completely obeyed Qin Guogong, and never dared to talk about gambling again."

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "Okay, let's not make an example."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The document for the third bet was signed, and Guo Ye said: "After six days, the army can go to Black Bone City. I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to watch the battle with King Jiangxia and cheer for our army."

"Okay, just as Qin Guogong said. In fact, I am also very curious, how did you break the Black Bone City in three days?"

……

……

Under Black Bone City.

Li Daozong was dumbfounded, and said: "Qin Guogong, you are relying on this to attack the city? How can you rely on this to attack the city?"

"Why can't I rely on this to attack the city?"

"This is obviously mine! My eight-wheeled car!"

Guo Ye said: "How do you say that? I think all your eight-wheeled building cars were destroyed in Liaodong City. This eight-wheeled building car was made by the craftsmen in the camp with great difficulty."

"That's what the old man invented with great effort."

"That's right, I didn't intend to obliterate your credit. After the city is broken, I will ask for credit for you."

Li Daozong was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, and said: "This king is already an extremely human minister, so what's the point of asking for merit?! The key is money, my 200 million yuan! Oops, this is killing me..."

His Majesty Li Er also couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "So, Qin Guogong, you have already prepared to use the eight-wheeled building car?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Then you were in front of me, but you said you didn't have much confidence, so what's the point?"

Li Daozong's eyes lit up, and he jumped on his feet and said, "Yes! What's the reason? Qin Guogong, you are obviously deceiving the emperor! Your Majesty, you can't let him go lightly. Hurry up and make any bet invalid."

Guo Ye said eloquently, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. When I said that I have no confidence, I don't mean that I have no confidence in the eight-wheeled building car, but that I have no confidence in the ability of the craftsmen to imitate the eight-wheeled building car. But today , It’s true that the blue is better than the blue.”

"Can you explain it that way?"

"Could it be that His Majesty thinks there is something inappropriate?"

His Majesty Li Er thought carefully, and said, "You can justify yourself."

"The thing about the bet..."

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "King Jiang Xia, what should I do, don't I need to teach you again?"

"Okay, isn't it just an IOU, I will write it now!"

……

After conquering the Black Bone City, the Tang army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, conquering dozens of cities in a row, and finally surrounded the domestic city.

This city is of great significance to Goguryeo.

First of all, Goguryeo has three capitals, which are the central capital Pyongyang, the northern capital inner city, and the southern capital Seoul.

Now that Seoul has been ruled by Yang Wanchun, if there is any mistake in the domestic city, then Goguryeo will change from three capitals to one capital, and the country will die soon.

Secondly, the history of this city is incredible.He was originally the capital of Goguryeo, that is, 200 years ago, Goguryeo moved its capital to Pyongyang.

In other words, this is the hometown of the Goguryeo people.It is like Yan'an and New China, Northeast China and Qing Dynasty, Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.Once lost, the psychological blow to them is very fatal.

Since this city is so important, of course the city defense is also extremely strong.It can even be said that it far exceeds Liaodong City.

For this city, even Guo Ye has nothing to do.Surround the city, and after trying to attack a few times, hand over the conflict and ask His Majesty Li Er to call the shots.

In the Chinese military tent.

Li Daozong said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, why are you so useless when you encounter domestic cities? Aren't you good at breaking cities? Where is your energy to break cities in three days? What the ancients said about bullying the weak and fearing the hard is referring to you This kind of person, right?"

Chapter 1953 Taking the Domestic City Lightly

Guo Ye sneered and said: "Yes, I can't break the domestic city, I admit it. But, so what? Are you not convinced that I will be the pioneer? It's easy to say, easy to say. I will let you as the pioneer. You have the ability, You attack."

"I..." Li Daozong didn't have any good ways to capture the inner city, so he could only say: "Hmph, it's better to blame yourself than others. I'm afraid no one in the world can surpass Qin Guogong."

Guo Ye said: "I don't understand. You said that I took the credit for myself, but it's okay to say, after all, I took your position as a pioneer. How can you say this is too much?"

"The domestic city is so strong, whoever attacks it can't lose the army? Are you not blaming others?"

His Majesty Li Er hurriedly said: "King Jiangxia, please be careful! The domestic city is not easy to fight, but it is too much to say that whoever attacks the city will be unlucky. I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty. Is there no one who can take it for me? Domestic city?"

Li Daozong said: "If there is plenty of time, how can there be a city that cannot be defeated? The problem is that we don't have long time. If we can't break through the domestic city in a month, we must retreat. If we break the city in such a short period of time, we must storm it. I don't know." How many soldiers will die for this."

His Majesty Li Er also knew this truth, and said: "I used to laugh at Emperor Sui Yang's inability to use troops, and a million troops could not attack Goguryeo three times. Today, after changing places, I realized that it was not Yang Guang who was incompetent, but the people of Goguryeo. Good at defending the city."

He paused for a moment and continued: "If Qin Guogong hadn't repeatedly conspired this time, we might have to stop at Liaodong City. But now, the only big cities in Goguryeo are Pyongyang City and Domestic City. How can such a good time come?" Miss it? It’s really not possible, and I can only use human lives to pile it up.”

Li Daozong rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, there is no other way."

"Oh? What is King Jiang Xia's idea?"

"Xiao Wang's idea...uh...actually, it doesn't conform to the rules, it violates His Majesty's prohibition."

"Hey, it's already at this time, what is the ban or not? Say it quickly."

"Weichen's idea is to make another bet with Duke Qin. If he can't destroy Liaodong City in a month, I ask him to return the 600 million coins he earned from Weichen."

Guo Ye said angrily: "You are avenging your own personal revenge, who wants to bet with you?"

"Qin Guogong, please be quiet and don't be impatient. I'm talking to His Majesty, why are you interrupting?"

"Nonsense, it's about my 600 million yuan, can I not talk?"

His Majesty Li Er was also in a hurry to go to the doctor at this time, and said: "Jiang Xia King, please explain carefully, why is Qin Guogong able to take the inner city because of this game?"

"Hasn't Your Majesty heard that it's better to invite generals than aggressive generals? Others may have no choice but to use the inner city, but Qin Guogong is not an ordinary person. If you force him like this, maybe he will really think of a way."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Duke Qin, look..."

"No! Absolutely not! I really can't help it."

Li Daozong said: "Qin Guogong, you can think about it. What I owe you is an IOU of 400 million yuan. If you can't satisfy His Majesty today, then no one will help you to ask for these two IOUs." .”

"I'd rather not have that 400 million dollars!"
