The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1177 Cherish the Opportunity
On the Anshi City side, the number of troops dispatched by Gao Huanquan was about 1, and the remaining 3 people stayed in Anshi City. Although the 1 troops were more than 1 more than the garrison in Dahang City, after all A city is different from defending a city. Even if there are an extra [-] people, it will not play a big role in the siege battle.

Although there are more people than the defenders of Dahang City, Gao Huanquan still has no idea, at least let him be the commander, he has no idea, so he simply listened to Xuan Shijing, he brought his 500 people over, I think he already has it in his heart Thinking, he doesn't need to fight against Xuan Shijing to compete for this useless command.

He just had to sit back and taste the fruits of victory.

The arrival of Xuan Shijing made the Goguryeo defenders in Anshi City bid farewell to the comfortable military life of the past three years. Now, they need to take up arms and go to the battlefield. The destination of this war is their former country , the former homeland, Dahang City.

Three years ago, Goguryeo was divided into the Southern faction and the Northern faction. The so-called North and South factions are also easy to identify. The North faction is led by Anshicheng Yang Wanchun and loyal to Gao Jianwu, while the South faction is Quan Gaisu among the forces in Pyongyang City. The rebel forces headed by Wen, when Yang Wanchun died, the southern faction took control of the Goguryeo regime. On the surface, Gao Zang, who had royal blood, was still the king. In fact, everyone knew that Gao Zang was a puppet.

After the battle in Liaodong was over, Datang sent Gao Huanquan to Liaodong, and asked him to gather the northern faction of Goguryeo. Anyway, Gao Huanquan was Gao Jianwu's own son, the rightful crown prince of Rongliu, and the northern faction was loyal to Gao Jianwu. After Gao Jianwu's death, only Gao Huanquan could gather these remnants.

The fact is exactly the same. Datang lent Anshicheng to Gao Huanquan to let him gather the remaining troops of the northern faction. Those homeless people in the Liaodong area did respond to Gao Huanquan's call and aimed at him, the crown prince. The identity came to Anshi City, and only then did there be [-] Goguryeo troops.

It's just that the [-] troops lived a more comfortable life in Anshi City. Xuan Shijing saw that the fighting power was not as good as the [-] Liaodong defenders.

Gao Huanquan also knew about this matter, so he simply handed it over to Xuan Shijing to direct. What will happen in the end has nothing to do with him, at least if it fails, the responsibility will not be pushed to him.

After seeing the [-] Goguryeo soldiers, Xuan Shijing didn't have much hope for them, and it was okay to go out with a strong momentum, but if they were to fight with the defenders of Dahang City with real swords and guns, I'm afraid they would just die in vain.

During the march, Xuan Shijing began to have a headache about this matter. Gao Huanquan raised so many soldiers, but he didn’t know how to train them often. Forty thousand Goguryeo soldiers were raised and disabled by Gao Huanquan. Does Gao Huanquan really want to restore the country?

Now Xuan Shijing had to wonder what Gao Huanquan wanted to do in Anshi City, if he really wanted to take back the Gao family's power, how could he let the [-] troops be so decadent.

Now Xuan Shijing has lost half of her hopes for this trip to Dahang City.

A raging soldier, a raging nest, Xuan Shijing made a mistake at the beginning of the fight, he shouldn't have counted on Gao Huanquan, Gao Huanquan himself is a coward, why should he expect the army under his hands to be strong enough to go there.

Mistake.
Said it was a four-day march, but after just two days, the 3 people were already complaining, and Xuan Shijing had to order to slow down.

"Your Highness, are these the soldiers you brought out in Anshicheng?" Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Huanquan with a half-smile.

Seeing the appearance of the people under his hands, Gao Huanquan couldn't hold back his face, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he was speechless.

It would be fine if there was no comparison. Look at the 500 people brought by Xuan Shijing, who are still sitting on horseback in high spirits, without any trace of fatigue.

"Changle!" Xuan Shijing shouted loudly.

"Your subordinate is here!" Chang Le turned her horse's head, facing Xuan Shijing and clapping her hands.

"Flying Pigeon passed the letter to Liaodong. The plan has changed this time. Let Liaodong City wait for news and be ready to respond at any time." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes!" Chang Le responded.

Now that the army is marching, not to mention going to fight Dahang City, it is a problem to be able to march outside Dahang City within the stipulated time. Xuan Shijing doesn't know that the army under Gao Huanquan's hands has deteriorated to this point.

Xuan Shijing gave the order, Gao Huanquan listened to him, his face turned blue and white, although what Xuan Shijing did was correct, and it was true that the army under him was not up to the mark, but he always felt that he was being beaten by Chiguoguo. My face hurts a lot.

This is a big shame.

"Then Xuanhou, let's go now." Gao Huanquan looked at Xuan Shijing and asked tentatively.

"Looking at the state of the army, if you force them to march in a hurry, it will definitely fail. The army will have to mutiny before they reach Dahang City. My life is precious, so I can't afford to gamble." Xuan Shijing said coldly. .

Being poured down by Xuan Shijing's pot of cold water, Gao Huanquan also came to his senses, yes, such an army of [-] was brought to Dahang City, that is to say, he was beaten, and he himself didn't want to die.

"How about we go back?" Gao Huanquan said.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, keep going, there are still three days to go"

"However, in three days, can we reach Daxing City? Even if you feel it, the soldiers are exhausted. How can we fight?" Gao Huanquan said.

"Could it be that Your Highness wants to give up halfway? The army has already gone halfway, and has been in a hurry for two days. Seeing that it is only a day and a half to two days away from Dahang City, give up now? Mingjin withdraws troops?" Xuan Shi Jing asked: "Since you are here, let's find a way to make a vote. After all, the [-] Goguryeo army was brought up by His Royal Highness. They are still loyal to your Gao family. They were originally loyal to King Rongliu. King Rongliu is no longer here." , you, the crown prince, should play your role."

"How to play." Gao Huanquan was taken aback by Xuan Shijing's words.

"Pretend to be pitiful, show misery, and inspire people. Do whatever you can to mobilize morale. As a general, Your Highness can't even do these things?" Xuan Shijing said: "Learn from Uncle Liu Huang of the Three Kingdoms period, can you?"

Uncle Liu Huang dare not say anything else, he is indeed a good hand in pyramid schemes.

Gao Huanquan knew Uncle Liu Huang, but he felt that he could not learn from Uncle Liu Huang. Inspiring people or something, is he going to call the soldiers and give a speech?
"If the language is the same, it's okay for Benhou to go for you, but now, the army is full of Goguryeo people. Even if Benhou said it, they would not understand it, and in their eyes, Benhou is just a member of the Tang Dynasty. Marquis, and you are the son of King Rongliu."
