Chapter 487
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself to see if I'm lying!" Jin Famin sneered: "Gaoguryeo is finished, and it will be Silla's next turn, so Silla must eat as much as possible before the Tang people do it." Lose more meat and make yourself stronger so that you can survive."

"This will only anger Tang. How could Yu Xingong come up with such an idea? Is he too confused?" Jin Renwen believed that Jin Famin hadn't lied at this time, which made him feel even more panicked.

"Why are you panicking? This plan is aborted now. As long as you don't tell me, Tang people will not know about it!" Jin Famin said with a smile, "You won't tell Tang people?"

"Of course not!" Jin Ren asked the instinctive veto: "But sooner or later you will cause a big disaster if you do this!"

"You are wrong, if we do nothing, disaster will come! This time, if the Goguryeo people choose to attack Wang Wenzuo's Tang army instead of you, I can use the excuse to help resist the Goguryeo people's attack, take the old place of Baekje, and sit down Seeing the success or failure of Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty is the goal that my father and Yu Xingong have longed for for decades."

"You're wrong!" Like a gambler who saw his opponent show his hole cards, Jin Renwen laughed coldly: "Even if the Goguryeo people choose to attack Tang Jun instead of me, your plan will not come true. Wang Wenzuo will Defeat the Goguryeo people first, and then turn around and tear you to pieces. Jin Famin, believe it or not, this time it was actually Quanyuan Nanjian who saved you!" After finishing speaking, he turned and limped towards the door. Walking outside, the black panther let out a low growl, with its tail raised high, and followed behind its master.

Anshi City.

boom!
The mallet knocked open the steel mechanism, and the unconstrained balance weight fell under the pull of gravity, while the heavy lever began to rotate under the pull of the balance weight, and the relatively slender end of the lever rose rapidly, pulling The grenade belt tied at the end throws the round stone bullet wrapped in the end skin into the sky, draws a parabola, and flies to Anshi City in the distance. An arrow tower, accompanied by a huge sound, the entire arrow tower was smashed to pieces, leaving only a section of ruins, and the Tang army under the city suddenly burst into deafening cheers.

"Now I know why Wang Wenzuo named this big guy Thunderbolt Che!" Gao Kan said with a cheerful smile: "Look at this boulder, no matter how strong your city is, it will be turned into ruins, isn't it like a thunderbolt?" .To be honest, it’s not the first time I’ve seen this thing, but every time I see it, I still feel terrified, and the roots of my hair are numb!”

"Gao Dudu is right!" The person speaking next to him was General Zuo Wuwei Xue Rengui, who was a descendant of Liu Song and Xue Andu, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was famous for his bravery. He also came with the army: "Except that it is a bit troublesome to disassemble and carry, there are no shortcomings!"

"Goguryeo isn't found anywhere in a strong city like Anshicheng!" Gao Kan said with a smile: "Besides, compared to building a car ladder or building a dirt mountain tunnel, dismantling and transporting a thunderbolt car is nothing!"

"That's true. It's not uncommon for tens of thousands of people to be killed or injured in an attack on strong cities like Anshicheng and Xincheng. With this thunderbolt car, not only the time is shortened, but also the casualties of soldiers are also reduced. !"

"What do you mean by a lot less? There are basically none! It has been more than ten days since the siege of Anshi City this time! How many people were killed or injured?"

"There are still casualties. A few days ago when I went to the mountain to cut and carry wood, someone was accidentally hit by a falling tree, and there were more than a dozen casualties!"

"That's right, let's let the military officials include these people in the list of pensions! Anyway, there is no shortage of this point!"

Accompanied by the roar of thunderbolt cars, the tone of the generals of the Tang army became more and more brisk. They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. It is natural to see that the fall of Anshicheng is only a matter of time if the fight continues like this. question.However, Li Ji has already lost one of the three on the outskirts of Anshi City, and deliberately gave up the road in the northeast direction. As long as the Goguryeo people escape from Anshi City, the Turkic and Tiele cavalry who have been recharging their energy for a long time will catch up and harvest Head, no matter how you fight this battle, you will never lose.

"British Duke!" Qibi Heli walked to Li Ji's side. From the outside, he was just an ugly old man with scars on his face, but Li Ji didn't dare to neglect him at all, and motioned to Li Jingye who was at the side to take a horse to let him in. Qibi Heli sat down: "What advice does Khan (Qibi Heli is Tie Le Khan) have?"

"Last time you said that Wang Wenzuo had already occupied Pyongyang!" Qibi Heli asked, "But these days have passed, and the Goguryeo people have not moved! Will there be any changes, or let the old man lead three thousand cavalry Don't go across the city, thinking that the king's governor echoed it?"

Li Ji did not answer right away. The "change" in Qibi Heli's mouth can be explained in many ways: for example, the Goguryeo people took back Pyongyang City; It's encircling and stepping up the siege, trying to recapture the capital; or something else.Although based on his impression of Wang Wenzuo, he felt that this possibility was not great (otherwise Wang Wenzuo would bluntly ask the Tang army on the northern front to take active actions to echo himself in the letter), but in the end he nodded: "Khan said It’s reasonable, so let’s invite Khan and General Xue to go together! Three thousand riders is a bit small, let’s five thousand!”

"Okay, then five thousand horses!" Qibi Heli had a simple and uneducated temperament, he greeted Xue Rengui, received the military order from Li Ji, and turned to lead the army.Gao Kan could see clearly from the side, leaned over and said with a smile: "The British Duke is still worried about Wang Wenzuo?"

"Military affairs! It's better not to be too relieved!" Li Ji said coldly: "Governor Gao, don't you think so!"

Gao Kan felt ashamed and could only lower his head and say, "Yes, what you said is true!"

--------------------------

Black Bone Mountain City.

Compared with the bright sunshine outside, it was dark and cold inside.Most of the mountain cities in Goguryeo look like this-the comfort of living and the function of defense cannot be combined.

"Second brother, is he out of his mind?" Quanyuan Nanchan threw the half-read letter on the table: "Why is it so confusing in the letter? First, he said that he defeated the people of Silla, and then that Pyongyang City was captured by Woongjin. The Tang soldiers from the Governor’s Mansion attacked, and said that he planned to beg for surrender from the Tang army, and persuaded me to surrender too! What’s going on here?”

"Everything is just as written in Da Molizhi's letter!" The messenger replied cautiously. Quanyuan Nanchan is the youngest of Quangai Suwen's three sons, and he is also the bravest and most irritable. Inheriting Quan Gai Suwen's aggressiveness and irascibility, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself by saying the wrong thing.

"Okay! Don't worry about what is written in the letter, just tell me what you know!" Quanyuan Nanchan made a gesture at this point, and the attendant brought up the tray with two clay cups on it. He picked up one: "Drink your mouth to moisten your throat before speaking, so as not to make mistakes later!"

The messenger felt the threat from the other party's words, carefully picked up the pottery cup and drank it down, and began to talk in a low voice. At first, he spoke a little slowly and stuttered, but soon he spoke more and more fluently. At the end, the messenger said: "That's all I know, I hope you are satisfied!"

"It's a pity that the second brother didn't listen to me!" Quanyuan Nanchan shook his head and sighed: "Before I came to Black Bone City, I persuaded him to kill that brat Gao Zang, and just change a child from the royal family to be the king, and keep it." This kid will cause big trouble sooner or later!"

"What the general said is true!" The messenger was convinced: "But the matter has come to this, what do you plan to do?"

"What should I do?" Quan Yuannan gave a wry smile: "It's like choosing one of two poisoned wines, it's too difficult!"

The messenger lowered his head, knowing that it would be the wisest choice to shut up at this time.He saw Quanyuan Nanchan's feet moving rapidly back and forth in the room, obviously he was making a difficult choice.Finally he stopped, went back behind the desk, and began to write quickly.

"You put on a good horse and set off immediately!" Quanyuan Nanchan folded the letter, put it in a mulberry paper envelope, sealed it with melted beeswax, and stamped his private seal: "I want to hand this letter to you!" Give it to my second brother!"

"Please don't worry, I will definitely hand over this letter to Da Mo Lizhi!" The messenger carefully put the letter into his arms.

"Very well, you tell him, maybe he is right, but one of Quan Gai Suwen's three sons must go the wrong way!"

The mountains rise from the dense forest, isolated and abrupt, and the peaks blown by strong winds can be seen from miles away.The Mohe people who surrendered said that the locals called it the wall.It really is like a wall, Khibi Heli thought, rising from the ground and the woods, the bare brown hillsides covered with rocks, in stark contrast to the dense forest around them.

"Walk another two miles to the west, and you will see a valley. Through that valley, we will turn southeast and walk for two days, and you will see the Yalu River!" the guide said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.

"There is no Goguryeo mountain city on this road?" Xue Rengui asked.

"There is one!" The guide said: "But there is no one left. The people in the city were relocated five or six years ago. Goguryeo was war-torn every year, and the population is getting smaller and smaller. It is difficult to maintain all the mountain cities. Concentrate your forces to guard the main road and mountain city!"

"So that's how it is!" Xue Rengui said with a smile, "Then isn't it important that this road leads directly to the Yalu River?"

"You will know why when you walk into that valley!" The guide smiled bitterly: "Actually, that mountain city is mainly to protect the road from Wugu Mountain City to Fuyu City!"

"It turns out that the Goguryeo people care about their heads and ignore their backs!" Xue Rengui laughed. The Fuyu City mentioned by the guide was the earliest capital of the ancient Fuyu Kingdom, which was later annexed by Goguryeo.When the Tang army captured Xincheng and besieged Anshicheng, this important northern town of Goguryeo has actually been separated from the mainland and has become a forgotten corner.

Tang Jun followed the guide's guidance and headed westward, and soon they found the valley the guide said.The road in the valley was rugged and steep, and all kinds of thorns and vines occupied the road. The soldiers had to dismount to open the way. Qibi Heli and Xue Rengui dismounted like ordinary soldiers, wrapped the horse's legs with cowhide, and led the horse.

In the evening of the next day, the vanguard of the Tang army arrived at the abandoned mountain city. This mountain city was simpler than everyone imagined, but it was large in scale. There are several watchtowers.The scouts had to go around in a large circle to the west before they found a gap for horses to pass through.

"The terrain here is good!" Qibi Heli announced after climbing to the top. "I can't find a better place than this. We will camp here and cross the Yalu River tomorrow." Yubi Qibi He Li got off his horse, and his actions startled a pheasant hidden in the bushes, and let out a cry. A cry of dissatisfaction flew into the air.Almost at the same time, Xue Rengui shot down the pheasant with his bow and arrow: "Hurry up and pick it up, we can have a tooth sacrifice tonight!" He smiled happily.

Despite walking for a day, Qibi Heli did not rest immediately. He inspected the surrounding wall of the camp as usual: patches of pale lichen were crawling on the weathered gray stone, green moss was gently swaying, and a stone tablet was covered with There are all kinds of traces, and the handwriting on it can no longer be seen clearly. There is a well behind the stone tablet. It is not difficult to see that the people who first built the mountain city are already very old. If this continues, in another two or three decades, everything here will be destroyed. Engulfed by shrubs and moss, only a few boulders remain.

"Boss, it's windy in the mountains, go to a shelter to rest first!" Xue Rengui's voice came from behind.

"General Xue, do you know!" Qibi Heli suddenly said: "When the late emperor passed away, I planned to be buried in Zhaoling and continue to serve the late emperor underground!"

"I heard it!" Xue Rengui didn't know why Qibi Heli suddenly mentioned this matter: "The first emperor issued a special edict for this reason, prohibiting you from being buried!"

"Yes!" Qibi Heli sighed: "I just saw how desolate this place is, and I can't help but think of the tomb of the late emperor. Will it be the same as here in hundreds of years?"

"How is that possible?" Xue Rengui said with a smile: "As long as the Tang Dynasty is alive, the tomb of the first emperor will be guarded carefully and will be admirable for future generations forever!"

"Really? But the people who built this mountain city at the beginning would not have thought of today!" Qibi Heli pointed to the surroundings: "Look at the stone wall that is five or six miles long, and there is a well. I don’t know how much effort was spent on it, but it has been abandoned today.”

"Water well?" Xue Rengui noticed that there was a well behind the stele. He took a closer look and found a few mud footprints and horseshoes on the edge of the well. He immediately became nervous: "Be careful, there are people in this stone city!"

Xue Rengui immediately recruited the captain of the guard and ordered to follow the footprints to find the man who had drunk the horse by the well not long ago.
