Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 435 Surprise Attack on Jian'an City
Hearing Gao Ming said that he was going directly to fight Jian'an City, Zhang Liang and Hou Junji gasped in unison.

"hiss……"

Gao Ming's idea is bold. When Zhang Liang and others were thinking of besieging Beisha City to contain the enemy's forces, he actually wanted to take down Jian'an City. If they hadn't analyzed the battle together just now, then the two must have would think he was crazy.

But despite this, Hou Junji still raised objections.

"No! Your Royal Highness, Jian'an City is a big city in Goguryeo. Its importance is comparable to big cities like Jingzhao and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. The maximum number of soldiers can reach 20. We can't take risks easily!"

As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, Zhang Liang also nodded.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, even if Quan Gai Suwen temporarily mobilizes troops, but even if there are only 5 people in Jian'an City, I will just go... just send..."

Zhang Liang hesitated for a while, but finally he didn't say the word "death", but Gao Ming understood what he meant, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, you mean if we go, we will just give away heads, right?"

"This one……"

Seeing that Zhang Liang still wanted to explain something, Gao Ming immediately waved to him.

"It's okay, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that Quan Gai Suwen is not simple, I have never underestimated him!"

Gao Ming remembers that the great grandfather once said a word called "Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically pay attention to the enemy".

Gao Ming firmly believed in this sentence.

Therefore, although he often called the Goguryeo people "Bangzi" in a contemptuous tone, he never underestimated Quangai Suwen, because he knew that Quangai Suwen was a very powerful military strategist and must not be underestimated!

In fact, Quan Gai Su Wen was really difficult to deal with.

According to historical records, Li Shimin fought Goguryeo three times during his reign. Although he had the upper hand, he did not destroy Goguryeo.

When Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi arrived, he beat Goguryeo six times. The last time was because of the death of Quangai Suwen and the civil strife in Goguryeo. Datang took the opportunity to destroy Goguryeo.

Therefore, even Gao Ming had to admit that Quan Gai Suwen was really talented.

Gao Ming summed up the conclusion that Quan Gai Suwen is very powerful from history, but Hou Junji and Zhang Liang have experienced it personally, so they are so cautious.

And when Gao Ming said that Quan Gai Suwen was not easy, the two of them became more puzzled, and Zhang Liang couldn't help but asked.

"Since your highness knows Quangai Suwen, why do you still..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted him with a smile again.

"What you want to ask is, since I know that Quan Gai Suwen is so powerful, why do I dare to make the idea of ​​building an city?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately snapped his fingers.

"The reason is very simple, because powerful people are usually very conceited. Quan Gai Suwen has figured out that you dare not fight Jian'an, even if you know that Jian'an City may be empty, you dare not!"

"This……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang's eyes widened, but he was speechless.

Because he knew what Gao Ming said was right.

Now that he is the Duke of the state, meritorious deeds are just icing on the cake. He doesn't need to take such a big risk to build Jian'an City. It's okay if he succeeds, but the loss outweighs the gain if he fails.

Seeing Zhang Liang lower his head, Gao Ming immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know that you strive to be safe, which is right in itself, but you dare not take any risks, and it is even more impossible to win, Duke Xun, you have raised your head."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang immediately raised his head, Gao Ming immediately put his hands on his shoulders, and then met his eyes.

"For things like war, the chance of victory can be said to be fleeting. As the saying goes, if you don't want a child, you can't catch a wolf. If you win, the Goguryeo people will not be able to jump up."

"But……"

Zhang Liang seemed to be about to say something, but Gao Ming didn't give him a chance and interrupted him again.

"Mr. Xun Guo, you have to believe that my judgment is not wrong. Now that our Tang Dynasty's army of millions is overwhelming, Quan Gai Suwen is really impatient. He is eager to get rid of Duke E first. 50 cavalry, to weaken our strength and blow our morale, think about it, if he didn't mobilize a large number of troops from Jian'an and other cities, where would he have [-] troops?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Liang frowned immediately.

He found that what Gao Ming said was indeed reasonable, leaving him with nothing to refute, but it is indeed very dangerous to attack Jian'an City. That must be annihilated!

Thinking of this, he immediately cast his eyes on Hou Junji for help.

Although Hou Junji had a lot of opinions on Zhang Liang at this time, he couldn't just watch Gao Ming "die", so he could only stand up at this moment.

"His Royal Highness, why don't we attack Beisha City first, after we conquer Beisha City, there will be no worries, and then..."

"no!"

Before Hou Junji could finish speaking, Gao Ming shook his head at him.

"Jian'an City is located between Beisha City and Liaodong City. After we take down Beisha City, the reinforcements from Liaodong City will have arrived at Jian'an City long ago. At that time, we will go to Jian'an City to seek death!"

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately waved his hands towards the two of them.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, you don't need to say any more, Zhang Liang obeys the order, let the soldiers light a fire and cook after dawn, and after we are full, we will go to Jian'an City. We must arrive at Jian'an City before dark. Obstruction, those who disobey the order, beheaded!"

Hearing Gao Ming's resolute tone, Zhang Liang could only grit his teeth, and then saluted Gao Ming.

"Yes, the last will obey!"

After agreeing, Zhang Liang went down, while Hou Junji showed a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness, you have a distinguished status, why take this risk?"

"adventure?"

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Gao Ming immediately grinned, and then shook his head towards Hou Junji.

"No, I never do anything uncertain. I can guarantee that the number of troops in Jian'an City will not exceed [-] at most, and most of them are archers."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Hou Junji's eyes widened.

"Then you still..."

Just halfway through speaking, Hou Junji stopped.

He felt that Gao Ming must have a back hand, so his expression gradually relaxed, and he bowed to Gao Ming.

"Presumably His Highness the Crown Prince already has a countermeasure, please show His Highness!"

Seeing the change in Hou Junji's expression, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"That's right, of course I have a countermeasure. Fifty thousand crossbowmen defending the city is indeed a big trouble, but if there is no city gate, do you think these crossbowmen are still scary?"

Without the city gate?How can this be?

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hou Junji frowned immediately.
