Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 128 Opportunity
"Understood!" The three brothers responded in unison.

"Well! As for Yalushui's defeat, you can't blame it all on your big brother!" Quan Gai Su Wen said: "The commander of the Tang army is Qibi Heli, he is a veteran general of the Tang army, and he served in the army when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was. Fighting against him as a father may not necessarily win, let alone him."

"Father!" Quan Gai Suwen, Quan Yuan's male midwife, was so eccentric, and said angrily, "But the death of the defeated is the military law of our country. If crimes are punished according to the military law, how can we convince the public?"

"Punishment? Hehe!" Quan Gai Suwen laughed: "Then the last time the emperor of the Tang Kingdom personally conquered our country, my father and I lost consecutive battles, how should we deal with it?"

Quanyuan’s male birth was suddenly dumbfounded. Quangai Suwen mentioned that Tang Taizong personally conquered Goguryeo in 644 AD. Although he had to withdraw his troops in the end, he destroyed more than ten cities, beheaded more than [-] people, and relocated more than [-] households. It can be said that the Goguryeo side suffered a disastrous defeat. Quangai Suwen was in power at the time. If Goguryeo's military laws were followed, Quangai Suwen would definitely be severely punished.

"If you lose a battle, you will die. That is used to deal with the middle and lower ranks. How can it be used to deal with our own family?" Quan Gai Suwen sneered: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, not to mention that there is a chance of a comeback soon. Already!"

"A chance to make a comeback, father, you mean—" the boy from Quanyuan, who had been silent all this time, raised his head:.

"That's right!" Quan Gai Su Wen said with a smile: "I just received a secret report from the spies that the commander of the Tang Army on the North Road is no longer Qi Bi He Li!"

"Could it be that the Tang people deliberately spread the news?"

"No, the Tiele people in Mobei have rebelled. Qibi Heli was originally a Khan of Tiele, and the emperor of Tang sent him back to deal with the rebellion! This has been confirmed by information obtained through several channels!" Quan Gai Su Wen faced He was expressionless, but his eyes flashed with cold light: "Yi Shuai, Khitan, Tie Le's cavalry will definitely leave a lot with Qi Bi He Li, this is a good opportunity!"

Hearing this, Quan Yuan's eyes lit up. After decades of military conquest and political wooing since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic Khanate, which was once extremely prosperous on the grassland, has collapsed. The nomadic regime was either defeated by the Tang army, or was drawn by the empire to become a vassal of the Tang empire, and these brave and skilled knights also became an important part of the military power of the Tang empire.But after all, these fan soldiers are still different from Fu soldiers. They maintain relative independence, and the commanders are usually the leaders of their own tribes. Therefore, if Qibi Heli is transferred away, the Tang Army on the North Road will also lose a considerable amount of troops. Cavalry, no doubt this will greatly weaken its strength.

"Father, please give me a chance for revenge!" Quanyuan boy said loudly.

"No!" Quan Gai Su Wen refused the eldest son without hesitation, and before the second and third sons could smile, Quan Gai Su Wen said: "This time I will come in person, Yuan boy, you stay and sit in Pyongyang! "

"Are you going in person?" The boy from Quanyuan was in a mixed mood. He was disappointed at losing the opportunity for revenge, and also surprised at being trusted by his father. Usually, the head of the family went to battle and guarded the city. It was the heir's responsibility.

"Yes, it's impossible to leave this matter to others!" Quan Gai Suwen's voice showed no emotional fluctuations: "If you lose, Goguryeo will be finished; if you win, then we will be finished. Only I will go in person!"

"I understand!" Quanyuan boy nodded. This is the tragedy of usurpers. Without traditional protection, they are surrounded by potential enemies. They must always be on guard against someone imitating them: "Father, don't worry, I will Keep Pyongyang safe!"

"Well, then I'll leave everything to you!" Quan Gai Suwen patted the eldest son's shoulder, with a rare warmth in his eyes: "By the way, Yuan Nanchan and Yuan Nanjian are two of you this time. Come with me, it's time for the two of you to learn a lot!"

"Thank you, father!" Quanyuan Nanchan and Quanyuan Nanjian responded in unison. They glanced at Quanyuan boy, and saw a haze on the elder brother's face without any surprise.

Snow particles fell from the sky and landed on the polished river mussel shells of the windows, making a crackling sound.Wang Wenzuo pushed open the window, and the cold wind blew in from the window. He couldn't help shivering. There were already some mottled white spots on the black field in the distance. Grab a little more food in their hands, so that they will have a better chance of surviving than others in the coming spring, so that they can continue to serve their king and lord.

Wang Wenzuo closed the window again, separating himself from the cold wind and everything outside the window. He was very surprised at his ambivalence at this time: he could make the decision to let thousands of people die without hesitation, and how would he treat those miserable people? Pity, let them live better as much as possible, isn't this a kind of hypocritical self-deception?Tell yourself that you are still yourself, or that middle-class citizen who lives in a modern society with abundant materials and is gentle and kind-hearted, not the conqueror of the Tang Empire in the seventh century AD with blood on his hands?
"Sanlang, everything is ready!" Cui Hongdu's voice came from the door.

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Have the soldiers tidied up yet?"

"It's all good!" Cui Hongdu said with a smile: "Today is the day to join forces with General Jin, so we have to show some face to Tang Dynasty, and don't let the people of Silla look down on us!"

"Well said!" Wang Wenzuo patted his subordinates on the shoulder. The General Jin that Cui Hongdu was talking about was Jin Renwen. General, the Tang army under the city of Pyongyang was given food by fate.And Wang Wenzuo and the others all participated in the battle to destroy Baekje. Although Silla and Tang Jun were allies in this battle, the relationship between the two sides was actually very delicate. Annihilating Guo, he put himself in the pot; while Tang Jun was resentful that the Silla Army did not arrive on time as agreed, and the two armies clashed because of this. The coming "friendly army" is wary.

Wang Wenzuo came out of the door, the oncoming cold wind made him shiver, the threshing ground in front of him was a poplar forest, the leaves had already fallen, and the white branches pointed to the gray-black sky, lifeless .The sergeants of the department had already lined up in armor on the threshing ground outside the door. There were spears like a forest and iron armor like a wall. More than [-] people stood in the cold wind, without an order from the general, motionless.

"Captain!" He Bayong came up to meet him: "What do you think?"

"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Let the Xinluo children see too. I wait for the Tang man not only to have iron in his body, but also in his eyes!"

　Thank you book friend Zhuanzhuanzhu and others for their rewards.
