Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 97 The sign-in reward has arrived, which can stop those who cry at night!
Before falling asleep, Eulji Simo arranged everything.

And I even took a quick look around everywhere and found that they were all safe.

But who could have imagined that just after waking up, they would receive such shocking news.

"How can it be broken? Our army still has [-] troops stationed in the city, and all the generals are there!"

"It was fine a few hours ago. How could Silla and Yan Kingdom break through the gate of our Liaodong City in a short period of time? There is an army of one hundred thousand on the opposite side, but where did the army of one hundred thousand come from!"

His eyes were splitting, and his face was full of disbelief.

The scout trembled: "General, it's... it's true. It was Han Zairong and Wen Yansangye who opened the city gate, allowing the Silla army to file in."

Eulji Naam was stunned: "Han Zaeyong... Moon Yeon Sangye..."

After being stunned, he became angry.

He gritted his teeth and said, "These two guys, I'm going to punish them alive!!"

He made a gesture to get his own sword and wear armor.

But he was quickly held tightly by the scout.

"General, you can't go... you can't go!"

"There are enemy troops outside, everywhere. Our Goguryeo soldiers fought bloody battles just to hold off the enemy troops."

"General, please evacuate with me quickly, we...it's time to leave!"

Eulji Shimo glared at him: "Are you asking me, General, to abandon Liaodong City?"

Being stared at like this by a high-ranking and powerful person, ordinary people would definitely panic, but the person in front of them could only be anxious: "General, the situation is over, the situation is over!!"

Eulji Shimo still glared at him.

However, he remained silent….
With the temperament of Han Zaiyong and Wen Yansangye, they must be fully prepared as long as they surrender to the enemy.

In addition, the Silla people are good at infantry warfare, so Nuoda Liaodong City is the best place for them to spread their arms and legs. There are also Yanguo cavalry outside, watching eagerly and ready to respond at any time.

All of this seems to be... really, the situation is over...
"Liaodong City has just given up. How will I explain to General Eulji Mundeok when I go back, and how will I explain to His Majesty Yeon Gae So-moon!"

He held his head, his face full of pain.

Liaodong City was the first city where he was given a big job. The former general of Liaodong City was not defeated even when he faced a million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty. The general retired and asked him to take office. He took office less than two years ago. The city was lost….
Eulji Shimo's eyes were frightened, he was going to...become a sinner of Goguryeo!
"General, please go."

The scout dragged Eulji Shimo, who was feeling lost, and quickly left the general's mansion.

Outside, there are nearly a hundred personal guards, all of whom are Eulji Shimo's cronies. They will escort him to escape tonight.

Now the cry of killing has not arrived here yet.

Therefore, this group of people were not too panicked, put on Eulji Shimo's casual clothes, and rode all the way to the east gate.

"what happened?"

"It's strange. Why is there a fire on the west side? Is there a big fire?"

"More than one place, what happened over there?"

"Hey, why do some soldiers come here and look panicked?"

"......."

The people on the east side of Liaodong City kept talking about it.

They were not clear about the current situation and thought it was just a fire. They never imagined that the enemy troops were invading.

Eulji Shimo and his bodyguards, on the other hand, were moving quickly, and whenever they encountered anyone who blocked their way, they would directly hit them without wasting any time.

Dusty.

The group finally left Liaodong City.

Unlike the shouts of death from the west city gate, there was silence outside the east city gate, which calmed their anxious hearts.

fine….
Out of danger….
They thought so.

Can!
The next moment, in the silent night, the sound of several bows and arrows rang out.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A round of arrows shot out, killing most of the hundreds of personal guards instantly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

Some members of the Guards shouted.

Soon, a group of cavalry rushed out of the jungle.

When the Guards soldiers saw them, their eyes widened for a moment and they were stunned.

Those enemies are not the Yanguo people and the Silla people, but...
Goguryeo Cavalry! !

Their Goguryeo cavalry in Liaodong City! !

The two sides fight, and the charge begins.

Since most of the Guards were killed by a hail of arrows, coupled with the negative impact of the sneak attack and the fact that the opponent was their own army, they were quickly slaughtered by the attacking army.

Only Eulji Shimo and a few others were left intact, but they were all captured.

in the jungle.

General Baihu looked at this scene, his eyes flickering: "Han Zairong, it's better for you to deal with your own people ruthlessly."

Han Zairong cupped his hands and smiled and said: "What are you talking about, General Baihu? General Wen Yan and I chose to serve under Emperor Yan. It can be said that this is what we should do. One, vote for the title..."

At the same time, I am also afraid that Eulji Simo will escape back...
Han Zairong added in his mind the second half of the sentence.

Eulji Shimo was too passionate about Liaodong City. He did not allow any mistakes in the city. Therefore, if he learned that Liaodong City was broken because of him and Wen Yansangye, he would hunt them down even from the ends of the earth.

It's not good to be targeted by such a hateful general.

Therefore, Han Zaeyong and Moon Yeonsangye are the people who are most afraid of Eulji Shimo fleeing back to Goguryeo.

No matter what the cost, we must keep him here!

General Baihu took a deep look at him and said with a smile: "Indeed, this is what you should do for His Majesty."

Han Zairong smiled and said: "General Baihu, have you ever seen the loyalty of me and General Wen Yan?"

"I saw it."

"Then... I would like to ask General Baihu to speak kindly to the two of us in front of Emperor Yan. My brothers will definitely never forget the kindness of the general in the future!"

General Baihu laughed and said: "Hahaha, easy to say! Easy to say!"

With a casual remark, General White Tiger led the White Tiger Guards forward to check on Ulji Shimo.

If Eulji Shimo has no problem, he will escort this guy to the King of Chu.

Han Zaiyong watched him leave, the smile on his face becoming gloomy as the distance became farther and farther.

He is worried!

As a traitor to the enemy army, he surrendered to the Yan Kingdom. I wonder... what will be his fate?

Very worried!

However, there is no other way. Currently, there are only two choices, Yanguo and Silla. The Silla people have been fighting with Liaodong City for more than half a year, and their hatred is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid there will be no good fruits to be gained if they surrender.

Taking refuge in Yan Country was also a... helpless choice.
.
…………………….
Liaodong City, on the west gate wall.

Li Kuan and Silla commander Kim Hee Jung watched the Liaodong City fire here together.

"Your Majesty Yan Guo, we have worked hard for several days and finally captured this Goguryeo fortress. Please allow me to show you the highest respect for your act of coming for reinforcements."

Jin Xizheng half-bowed towards Li Kuan.

Li Kuan didn't look back, silently watching the fire in Liaodong City in front of him, and the fire could even be reflected in his eyes.

Then, he said calmly: "This is what we should do. After all, between our two countries, our lips are as cold as our teeth."

Jin Xizheng smiled and said nothing more.

This is what His Majesty the Emperor of China told him. It is a national policy to be at odds with the Yan Kingdom and to resist the three powerful countries of Turks, Goguryeo and Baekje. It is not allowed to be at odds with the Yan Kingdom.

Jin Xizheng and Li Kuan stood together, overlooking the Liaodong City in front of them: "Your Majesty Yanguo, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to completely capture Liaodong City tomorrow. I would like to congratulate our victory in advance."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "This is not bad, but... I wonder what you are going to do with the captured Liaodong City?"

Jin Hee Jung received the will of Silla Emperor Jin Chunqiu early and said: "Whatever Yanguo wants, whether it is slaves, Eulji Shimo and others, or even others, I, Silla, will support it."

"You are Silla's best allies, and you deserve the best."

This means that Silla wants Liaodong City.

Li Kuan thought for a while and then said: "After the capture, our country, Yan, will turn back. What if you encounter the Goguryeo counterattack army?"

Jin Xizheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course we will defend the city! From now on, I, Silla, will continue to send troops to help Liaodong City!"

Li Kuan smiled and said: "So, you still want to fight?"

Jin Xizheng sighed, shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to..."

"To be honest with Your Majesty Yan Guo, my Silla soldiers have been away on an expedition for almost eight months. These eight months have been spent in the wilderness. Everyone is homesick. Fortunately, the supply line is not long. Otherwise, based on the homesickness of our soldiers, Already half a year ago, I was about to mutiny and want to go home."

Li Kuan said: "Home is indeed everyone's hope."

"But if you are stationed in Liaodong City, then you... I'm afraid you won't be able to go home, not for a while, or even for several years."

Jin Xizheng was stunned, then narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty Yanguo, what do you mean by this? Could it be that...you want Liaodong City?"

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. What I just said, do you think General Jin is right?"

Jin Xizheng was thoughtful when he heard the words.

He thought about it, indeed!Li Kuan is right!
Liaodong City is the bridgehead and gateway of Goguryeo, allowing Goguryeo to overlook the Central Plains and block Silla and Yanguo to the south.

In Goguryeo's domestic status, it belonged to the Youzhou border of the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Wall was naturally dangerous.

Status can be said to be the top priority!

It can be predicted that once the news of their capture of Liaodong City is reported back to Goguryeo, Goguryeo will continue to send additional troops to attack, and continue to attack until they completely take back their gateway city.

That was Goguryeo’s crazy siege!
Liaodong City will be dragged into the quagmire of war again.

And once it enters a state of war, countless people have an obsession with when to go home. Moreover, people will still die in war, many, many people!

In just these eight months, Silla has lost nearly 1 soldiers, not counting the injured and disabled.

The resources consumed are countless!There are also people in the country. I heard from His Majesty Jin Chunqiu that in the past three months, people from Silla have often paraded in the streets to ask them to stop the war and let the Northern Expeditionary Army come back.

His Majesty Jin Chunqiu suppressed all these, but they can also be said to be hidden dangers.

In a war, what is fought is ultimately national power and resources...
This has been the case since ancient times.

Jin Hee Jung was not sure whether Silla could survive Goguryeo's resource consumption if this war continued.

High probability, it’s unlikely….
The territory of Goguryeo was three times larger than that of Silla!
The same goes for the population. If this war continues, it is very likely that their Silla country will be dragged down.

"Yes, if we defend Liaodong City, Silla will definitely be dragged into the quagmire of war again."

Jin Xizheng sighed and said: "But what can be done? Goguryeo bullied others too much. During the days when we did not attack their Liaodong City, they often sent cavalry to ravage our Silla villages and towns, causing harm to countless Silla people."

"It is precisely because of this that the people of Silla hate me, and then His Majesty will take this opportunity to organize the Northern Expedition to conquer Liaodong!"

"At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Silla was warmly welcomed by all parts of the country, calling His Majesty Jin Chunqiu our wise king. From then on, no Goguryeo cavalry harassed Silla. It was truly peaceful in the country."

"But... who would have thought that in just six months, they were the same people who asked our Majesty not to go to war..."

"Obviously, His Majesty's Northern Expedition was for them, but in the end, they became the most opposed ones..."

Jin Hezheng kept shaking his head. Their long-term relationship made him and Li Kuan become better friends, and they became increasingly incomprehensible to this twisted world.

Li Kuan smiled and said: "So, if you take down Liaodong City and face the Goguryeo army behind you, Silla will not support it, right?"

Jin Xizheng nodded: "Although they don't know it yet, I guess they don't support it. Even after that, under the pressure of public opinion and to reduce war deaths and resources, our Majesty asked the defenders to withdraw from Liaodong City and returned It is extremely possible to give it to Goguryeo."

"The Liaodong City War has already shown the style of our Silla people. From then on, if we give them some courage in Goguryeo, we have to think twice about continuing to harass our Silla towns."

This was not his idea, but also the result of discussions between His Majesty and the think tank in the country. He just conveyed it to Jin Chunqiu temporarily.

"In other words, you don't want to own Liaodong City for a long time."

"Then why not, take Liaodong City..."

Li Kuan paused for a moment, looked at the fire in the city, and even his eyes were flashing with fire. He opened his hands in high spirits and said loudly: "Give me the Yan Kingdom, and let me become the Lord of Liaodong City!!"

really!

Hearing this, Jin Xizheng's eyes widened. Sure enough, this was Yan Guo's wishful thinking.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty Yan Guo, I'm afraid this is not feasible..."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Hahaha, what's wrong? You've already said it, even Jin Chunqiu's will is in it. You don't want to occupy Liaodong City for a long time! Just like when the Turkic troops came to the Weishui River, although they ravaged Youzhou, but You never want to occupy Youzhou City, you all have the same idea, to be brave in your own country and get something by the way."

"You all have the same idea. You don't want your country to be dragged into the quagmire of war, so you can take advantage and run away!"

Jin Xizheng looked at him with stern eyes: "Isn't it true that Yan Kingdom is like this?"

Li Kuan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, of course not!"

"Our country, Yan, will use Liaodong City as the foundation to encroach on Goguryeo step by step, and even... fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Han people for many years and destroy Goguryeo!"

"So, you don't want to defend, but I, the Yan Kingdom, want to defend, more than anything else!"

boom!
As soon as these words came out, Jin Xizheng's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

After more than two months of cooperation, he knew that Emperor Yan's ambition was huge and unbelievably big.

But even so, he didn't dare to think in the direction that Emperor Yan wanted to destroy Goguryeo.

After all, this….
How is this possible!
Goguryeo has dozens of cities and a population of more than 500 million, while Yanguo only has one city. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides!

The national power of Yanguo and Goguryeo are not at the same level at all.

Wanting to destroy Goguryeo is completely... a fantasy! !
Their Silla, as a whole, was about ten times more powerful than the Yan Kingdom, but even so, whether it was Silla Emperor Jin Chunqiu, or generals like him, or think tanks, or the people of the world, they were bullied by Goguryeo. One would think of actually destroying Goguryeo!
This is completely impossible. After all, Goguryeo was the former dynasty of the Tang Dynasty and could not be destroyed even if millions of troops were spent. It was even more impossible for them!

But...but Yanguo...
them!them….
Jin Xizheng looked at Li Kuan with wide eyes, trying to find a hint of joking tone, but all he saw was intense belief.

Arrogant, he... Yang Kuan, the leader of Yan Kingdom, he is too arrogant!

Although he has gained some understanding after more than two months of cooperation, until the new emperor became very arrogant, this was still far beyond his knowledge!
Jin Xizheng took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty Yanguo, why...you want to destroy Goguryeo so much..."

Li Kuan stared at him, his smiling face full of pride: "Because its existence makes me feel an eyesore."

This….
Jin Xizheng was stunned, what a strange reason this was!

Just because it is an eyesore, I want to bring my country into the quagmire of war...
He couldn't help but smile.

But soon, I thought of the new emperor's army, each one was so arrogant, and each one was so powerful.

Maybe….they can do it….
This idea of ​​a 1% possibility appeared in Jin Xizheng's mind, making him stunned and quickly shook his head.

"Your Majesty Yan Guo, I can't decide on this matter."

Jin Xizheng took a deep breath and said seriously.

Li Kuan looked at him with a smile and said calmly: "Then I will send a message to your majesty about me and the will of the Yan Kingdom!"

"I will use Nuoda Liaodong City as the front line to gradually destroy Goguryeo! In the future, if Liaodong City is there, then the army of Yan Kingdom will be there."

"The faith of our country, Yan, is much stronger than that of Silla. Why not give up Liaodong City to our country, Yan?"

"The land where Silla and Goguryeo meet, Liaodong City can be said to contain the two places. With our Yanguo army here, Goguryeo can no longer invade your Silla towns, and you Silla don't have to fight with Goguryeo, just because there is Our Yanguo army and Liaodong City stand in front of Goguryeo."

"You can farm or develop in peace and contentment, right?"

Li Kuan still looked at him with a smile.

Jin Xi was looking at it and took a deep breath again: "I, I understand."

"Your Majesty Yan Guo, I will try my best to convince you. After all... In addition to our soldiers, I also want to go home, and I don't want to... continue to fight..."

His eyes were full of nostalgia.

He didn't want to fight anymore, and if Li Kuan's suggestion was approved by his Majesty, then with the strength of the Yan Kingdom's army, even if they couldn't destroy Goguryeo, they could still hold it off for a long, long time.

"Ah."

Li Kuan nodded.

Without saying any more words, he stood in front of the city wall and continued to look at the eye-catching fire in front of him.

Jin Xizheng thought for a while, and finally said goodbye to Li Kuan and left. The matter was serious, and he planned to send a letter to Jin Chunqiu now to ask His Majesty how to choose.

He walked all the way, but when he was about to go down to the city wall, he turned back and looked up at the man's back.

Under the darkness of night, the man's back was stretched extremely long, as if it was blocking the sky and the sun.

Jin Xizheng was watching him silently. For some reason, he suddenly... really wanted His Majesty to promise Emperor Yan. He wanted to see how far Emperor Yan could take the Yan Kingdom with this hot potato city of Liaodong.

Will it be dragged down by Goguryeo because its national power is too low, or as he said... Based on this, Goguryeo will be destroyed step by step...
…….….….….….
It was approaching morning.

The shouts of killing from all over Liaodong City gradually stopped.

This also indicates that Liaodong City has changed hands and has been captured by Silla and Yanguo.

In fact, last night, after the war broke out everywhere, many Goguryeo soldiers tried to escape when they saw that the situation was over, but most of them were killed by their tribesmen.

The troops of Han Zaiyong and Wen Yansangye knew their own family better than anyone else, and at the same time, they were the ones who wielded the sickles most harshly at the soldiers of their own tribe.

People are always like this. After confirming something important, those who oppose it will try their best to oppose him or even take action to prove that they are right.

And also at night, Jin Heizheng sent the letter back to Silla. Based on past judgments, it would take at least seven days to receive a reply.

In other words, within these seven days, Silla and Yanguo will jointly take charge of Liaodong City.

Regarding Liaodong City, after the victory, Jin Xizheng directly sent troops to plunder, and the same was true for Li Kuan.

For Yan Guo, this lasted for more than two months. The soldiers had suppressed their negative emotions for nearly two months and needed to be completely released after victory.

Therefore, he supports all the actions of his soldiers, whether it is robbery or anything else, he supports them.

Li Kuan also met with the prisoner Eulji Shimo that day. He was not the only prisoner, but there were so many Goguryeo prisoners. Only this former Goguryeo general in Liaodong City was worthy of his visit.

After reading it, Li Kuan had him escorted to Datang, preparing to wait for Xin Qiji to come back, and also discussing this man's crime.

From this day on, for the people of Liaodong City, Liaodong City became a hell.

A few days ago, they wanted to surrender because Goguryeo soldiers were robbing them of their food. Even last night, some Goguryeo people acted as guides. They were very willing to lead the way for the Silla people to kill the Goguryeo soldiers.

They got what they wanted, and Liaodong City was no longer under the control of Goguryeo soldiers.

Can….
After this, an even more terrifying purgatory arrived!
This is a carnival belonging to Silla and Yanguo, and a purgatory for the people of Goguryeo!
In these days, they yearned extremely for the days when Goguryeo soldiers ruled. At least those people were tribesmen, and they only wanted food, but these foreign soldiers were different. They... wanted everything! !

Purgatory, extremely terrible purgatory!

However, it is useless for them to regret. There is never any regret medicine in the world.

seven days later.

Jin Xizheng received a letter from Silla. After reading the content, he was instantly overjoyed and quickly headed towards Li Kuan's residence.

"Your Majesty Yanguo, Your Majesty Yanguo! Good news, good news!!"

Far away, Li Kuan, who was still resting, heard a loud voice.

Then I saw Jin Xizheng walking in: "Your Majesty Yan Guo, great news! Regarding the ownership of Liaodong City, our Majesty has given a reply."

Li Kuan nodded: "Well, what does the letter say?"

Jin Xizheng laughed, took out the letter, opened it and was about to speak, but when he saw Li Kuan's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty Yan Guo, you seem to have...predicted the result of the letter?"

He only saw calmness on Li Kuan's face, which logically should not be seen unless Li Kuan knew the result.

Li Kuan opened his hands to both sides and smiled: "It's obvious, isn't it?"

"It is the most suitable choice for you to give this city to Yan Kingdom."

"Besides agreeing, I can't think of another possibility."

The voice fell.

Li Kuan wanted to say something else, but the system voice sounded in his mind for a long time.

[Ding, it is detected that the host is completely in charge of Liaodong City, and the sign-in reward has arrived. 】
