Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2155

He, Yuan Nanjian, sighed, and said, "I don't blame you, the lonely king. Actually, I am satisfied with your performance these days. It's just that you, Sima Yi, met Zhuge Liang, Guo Ye, and you missed everything. It makes people cry in vain."

Da Zhongxiang said in a deep voice: "If the lord is still willing to trust the humble minister, I will definitely take the crime and do meritorious service and arrest that guy Guo Ye to see you."

"Oh? Now, do you still have the confidence to deal with Guo Ye?"

"My minister has confidence!" Da Zhongxiang said: "Now hundreds of thousands of troops have been dispatched, and all the passes are guarded by heavy troops. No matter how powerful Guo Ye is, he can't use tricks to win again and again, right? As long as he fights a few tough battles, his With 2000 people, there are not many people left."

Yuan Nan Jian said: "You are still my strategy of reducing ten meetings with one force. To be honest, the lonely king has no confidence now, and I really want to send this plague god away quickly."

"My lord, don't give up hope. It's not too late yet. Guo Ye stayed in Pyongyang for an extra day to burn the city. This day decided his life and death. , people who commit crimes cannot live.”

……

……

When Guo Ye's team left Pyongyang, their morale was extremely high.For soldiers, what is more glorious than breaking the enemy's capital?For soldiers, what is more tempting than yellow gold?

I thought I was going to perform a deadly mission, but I didn't expect that under the leadership of Duke Qin of the Tang Dynasty, not only did the whole team suffer no casualties, but they also gained fame and benefits.

Leaving aside the heavy rewards and promotions after returning home, just talking about the money is a big deal!

200 taels of gold, or [-] guan, is considered a huge sum of money even in Chang'an City. It can buy three beautiful girls who are somewhat famous in Pingkang Lane.

In addition, don't forget that these sergeants are not actually Chang'an soldiers.Most of them are from Henan Province.The 200 taels of gold will be even more valuable if you send them back to your hometown!

Even if they were disarmed and returned to the fields after returning home, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Amidst a burst of laughter, the army marched all the way, heading straight to Seoul!

However, after two days of walking, everyone was unhappy.The Goguryeo army above the pass is really hard to chew.

No matter how Guo Ye lures the enemy, he is just two words - stick to it.Let you do all kinds of tricks, the defenders have certain rules.

If a small pass is knocked down, more than a dozen people will die.What about the ten small checkpoints?What about a hundred small checkpoints?What about the big pass?What about the big city?

After more than 100 people were killed and injured, Guo Ye finally understood the situation.My own plan has been seen through, this way is dead!If you go any further, you may be surrounded by the army.

How can this be done?

There is no way, there are enemies everywhere in Goguryeo, and Guo Ye can only look for the enemy's weak points to attack.

Unexpectedly, this was another mistake!

Da Zhongxiang is really a talent. He carefully mobilized his troops, adjusted the number of people at each pass, and gradually led Guo Ye into the encirclement.

Finally on this day, Guo Ye's more than 1000 people were surrounded by Da Zhongxiang's [-] army.People are not greedy for merit, they just set up camp.If you don't attack, the two sides will coexist peacefully.If you attack, you will be served by strong bows and crossbows, deep trenches and high fortresses.

More importantly, these 2 people are not mobs, but the elite troops of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo's army may not be in a hurry, but Guo Ye has to be in a hurry.The food is easy to handle, and it can last for three to five days with dry food.

The most important thing is that the big elephant was damaged, and the so-called water source in the place prepared for Guo Ye was only a small spring.

The gurgling clear spring is beautiful to look at, but it is only beautiful to look at.In fact, its flow rate is very slow, only enough for two hundred people to drink.

And Guo Ye's team not only has nearly 2000 people, but also [-] horses!The only little water, who is it for?

It's worse than no water!

If it weren't for Guo Ye's prestige, just fighting for water could cause a firefight.

Xu Zhenjie walked up to Guo Ye and said, "Mr. Qin, this is not going to work. We have to find a way to break through!"

Guo Ye smiled wryly, "How many people do you think we have to die if we break through?"

"At first, everyone stayed with the determination to die. I didn't expect that before dying, there would be the glory of breaking through Pyongyang City. Anyway, I, Old Xu, think that this life is worth it!"

"Don't die, die, things haven't reached that point yet. That Goguryeo general is called Da Zhongxiang, right? I'll talk to him."

……

……

Guo Ye urged his horse forward, stood still within a stone's throw of the enemy's camp, and said loudly: "Guo Ye, Guo Ziyi, Duke Qin of the Great Tang Dynasty, is here. I would like to ask General Da Zhongxiang to speak in front of the battle."

After a little effort, a general Mohe rushed out of the camp with a sentry and said: "I am Da Zhongxiang. I don't know why Qin Guogong is here?"

Guo Ye nodded and said: "To be honest, my surname Guo has never lost a battle. But it is the first time that I lost as badly as today. General Da Zhongxiang, until now, I can only express my admiration to you. !"

"Where, where. Qin Guogong, you have too high demands on yourself, or you look down on people too much."

"How do you say this?"

Da Zhongxiang smiled coldly, and said: "You have two thousand soldiers and horses, against us thirty... No, counting the defenders from all over the country, it is 35 troops. Is it normal to lose? Is it possible that you have to play again? Satisfied with the trick of 30 breaking [-]? You really underestimated the heroes of the world!"

"Anyway, winning is winning, and losing is losing. General Da Zhongxiang, let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath?"

"I can't promise you this. Now you have only one way out, and that is to surrender unconditionally. As for other things, don't think too much about it."

"It's really not negotiable?"

"That's natural. With selfishness, you made Lord Yuan physically disabled. With public, you set fire to Pyongyang. These two things are so terrific, do you expect the king to be lenient to you?"

Guo Yedao: "You can't say that. In fact, Guo is not without chips. For example... the life of Mr. Yuan Taizuo."

"Are you trying to threaten me with Mr. Yuan's life?"

"It's not a threat. It's just that we each get what we need. If you make way, I will let Mr. Yuan go."

Da Zhongxiang shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't agree to this condition."

"Could it be that Yuan Nanjian doesn't even care about the life and death of his own grandfather?"

"I didn't say that."

"Why is that?"

"No comment!"

"Well, since that's the case, let's use our own means."

"As you wish."

If Da Zhongxiang didn't say the reason, it would be equivalent to acquiescing.In his capacity, he made a decision so quickly, no need to ask, it was Yuan Nanjian's idea.

Negotiating this plan was a complete failure.

Guo Ye first came to Jiang Yuge, drew his waist knife, cut the rope on his body, and said: "You go!"
