Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174

In the plain city of Goguryeo, Goguryeo king Gao Yuanduan sat in the center of the banquet, enjoying the flattery of others and the unique fear of the subordinates against the superiors.

This Gao Yuan is not just as simple as a king.Yang Guang attacked Goryeo three times, but was defeated by him.Of course, Yang Guang was not defeated by him, but by his own people. Gao Yuan just took this opportunity to pick up two victories.However, no one in Goguryeo thought it was a mistake.On the contrary, under the hype of people with high intentions, Gao Yuan was enshrined as a god and descended to earth.

All the truth, only Gao Yuan himself knows.Knowing that the day when the Sui army rushed over, I was terrified, and the pressure when I fought with the Sui army was huge, and I was relieved after the Sui army retreated.Even when the Sui army was withdrawing, he only dared to follow from a distance and did not dare to pursue.

In the eyes of his people, it is naturally Gao Yuan's "benevolence" to forgive those invading enemies.

Only Gao Yuan knew that the vast empire would be terrifying once it got serious.Over the years, he has been guarding an acre of land in Goguryeo, and he dare not take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to go west, because of this.

Gao Yuan is getting old.

A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, the blood energy is not fixed, the abstinence lies in his sex;

Gao Yuan enjoys the flattery of others, but he doesn't know that every flattery is eroding his calm and rational heart.

"I am a descendant of a god!"

"Millions of Sui troops have been driven away by me!"

"I want to continue the myth of my god!"

"I want people thousands of years later to continue to respect me, flatter me, and fear me!"

Gao Yuan thought so in his heart.Three people become a tiger, let alone everyone says so?
The opportunity really fell into Gao Yuan's hands. If he can seize this opportunity well, he can at least establish a vast kingdom in Liaodong.

Chances are, Bohai is in chaos, and someone in Bohai invites him to send troops.The Bohai Sea has been in chaos for a long time.But it was the first time to invite him to send troops.

This is like a couple who have been at odds for a long time, and suddenly one day, the hostess asks you to "help" or "help" her at night, as the old king, will you go?
Go, isn't Gao Yuan just an old king who has been staring at him for a long time?
Furthermore, Gao Yuan did have some strength in his hands - [-] well-equipped Goguryeo soldiers!

Goguryeo soldiers are not only well-equipped, but also well-trained.To the south of Goguryeo, there are two tribal countries of Silla and Baekje. The two countries united, but only under the high pressure of Goguryeo, the country could not be destroyed.Northeast of Goguryeo, there is a small nomadic people - the Beishan people.It turned out that the Beishan people went south from time to time, but now they dare not come for many years.From this, we can get a glimpse of the power of Goguryeo soldiers.

Before, Gao Yuan was more afraid of Bohai people, to be precise, he was afraid of Mohe people.The Sui conquered Goryeo for the first time. If it hadn't united with the Mohe people, Goguryeo might have perished at that time.Although there is civil strife in the Bohai Sea now, it is guaranteed that once they are invaded, they will turn hostility into friendship and unite to deal with Goguryeo.

So the last time Gao Yuan sent [-] Goguryeo soldiers as the vanguard, thinking to try the current strength of the Bohai people first, it is best to help one side, kill the other side, weaken the power of the Bohai country, and then press in with a large army.

But who knows, 2000 people arrived in Liaodong, but not a single hair came back.A spy was sent to inquire, and it turned out that 2000 people were wiped out silently.

Bohai people are so powerful?
Gao Yuan was shocked.

After repeatedly dispatching spy detectives, they learned that Duan Hongchen was supported by people from the Central Plains before, but now, the entire Bohai Sea has less than 1 troops.

The opportunity is here.

Gao Yuan sent an envoy first, thinking that it would be best if he could weaken Bohai without any effort.

The messenger was killed.

Gao Yuan was furious, this was openly provoking the face of his god king, if he didn't teach Bo Hai a lesson at this time, it would be detrimental to his godhead.

Gather generals!Transfer troops!
There are 8 people in the country, and 3 people are left to defend Silla and Baekje. They cannot be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity; 1 people stay at various passes, and 1 people stay at the capital Pingyuan City, because Gao Yuan also wants to prevent people with ulterior motives in the country , and the Beishan tribe who disappeared for several years but did not perish;

The remaining 3 people gathered together.Those who gathered were also some old generals who "defeated" the Sui army together.

Could it be that Gao Yuan is going to lead his troops to conquer?no……

Gao Yuan at this time, the most important thing is his status as a god who is worshiped by people.Anyone who damages or may damage his identity will not participate.

Moreover, Gao Yuan, as the old king, had to prepare to train an heir.He told his people, I am descended from the gods, my sons are also descended from the gods, and my children and grandchildren are descended from the gods.

"This time to conquer the disobedient Mohe people, my eldest son, Gao Chan, will be in command, with [-] soldiers and horses, and the two younger sons, Gao Feng and Gao Cong, will each lead [-] soldiers and horses, and go out together.

Whoever makes great achievements will be the next King of Goguryeo.Generals, you should assist the third prince earnestly. "

The old king is confused.This is the voice of those generals at this time.Those who engage in heir battles never end well.However, they did not object, because they had already chosen the successor of King Goguryeo in their hearts.

If you stand in the right place this time, it will be a huge profit.

Gao Chan is the eldest brother, most respected by all the generals.Gao Feng is the second elder brother, and his mother is very fond of Gao Yuan.The third brother, Gao Cong, didn't seem to have any intention of fighting for the throne. No one knew why the old king had arranged for him.

The three brothers, at least on the surface, are united.

This banquet is a military banquet.Gao Yuan granted military power to the three princes at the banquet, and the eldest prince Gao Chan bestowed the military power to command 10 horses.

10 horses is a title.The so-called is a habit, in order to strengthen my morale and deter the enemy.

A sensible person naturally understands that 3 horses are actually not enough, because this is a war on other people's territory, and thousands of people are required to be responsible for food roads and other trivial matters.

After the [-] soldiers and horses were dispatched, the first military meeting began without any haste.Eldest prince, call the two younger brothers over first, and show your cards. If you want to fight for power, you can discuss it after defeating the Bohai people.

The second child Gao Feng said: "Where are you talking, what is fighting for power and profit, brother is joking."

The third child Gao Cong: "Oh..."

Raise the account and discuss the matter.

The three brothers don't make trouble, and the generals behind them naturally won't jump out to make trouble.When there is no internal fighting, the power of the collective is the greatest.All the generals were experienced, and almost in unison, they pointed to a crude map and said: "Here, there is an ancient ferry, fifty miles up and down, and this is the only place where large-scale ferries can be made."

"It's a battleground for military strategists!"

"Since it is an important throat, it is bound to be seized! Second brother, how about taking 5000 troops from the headquarters as a vanguard officer?"

"Brother..." Gao Feng was surprised, such a great achievement was handed over to him, what happened.He was surprised in his heart, but on his face he said with lightning speed: "Brother, take orders!"

In fact, not only the second child Gao Feng was surprised, but almost everyone in the tent was also surprised. Looking at Gao Chan, he was smiling, nothing unusual.There is only one person in the tent who is calm and calm, that is the third son Gao Cong, he closes his eyes and rests his mind.

After a while, five thousand soldiers and horses quickened their pace, separated from the main force, and rushed towards the ancient ferry.

Cut off the red dust:
Five thousand soldiers and horses have already set off for two days.After all, it was at the door of my own house, the road was familiar, and I walked quickly. At this time, it was less than thirty miles away from Liaohe River.Duan Hongchen stopped the soldiers and horses, let everyone rest, and sent scouts to explore the way.

This is relatively close to the sphere of influence of the Goguryeo people, so we need to be more careful.In this neutral position, Duan Hongchen also took a wide look.Decades of insight made Duan Hongchen quickly focus on one point - the ancient ferry.Heroes see the same thing!
Although Duan Hongchen had been away from home for many years, the geographical conditions around the Bohai Sea were all engraved in his mind, and he immediately thought that there was no ferry within tens of miles of the ancient ferry.If the Goguryeo people want to cross the river, they must pass here.

A smart person will never be complacent about thinking of the key. A smart person will immediately put in the best effort for this key part.

Defense is not necessarily passive; offense is not necessarily active.Occupying the ferry can frustrate the opponent's soldiers, and whoever is faster can take the lead in the battle.

Bing is precious and fast, and it will be fully reflected at this moment.

Duan Hongchen ordered the whole army to put down all the food and grass, and seize the ferry at full speed.

The infantry followed, and Duan Hongchen led several hundred cavalry with him.

At the ancient ferry, the grass is luxuriant, and the speed of the river suddenly slows down at this ferry.There are many boats on the two shores, but at this time of year, there are few people transitioning.

The river was flowing quietly, and a few ferrymen fanned cattail fans in the arbor, saying that a fat carp jumped out of the river during the transition yesterday.The ferrymen don't eat fish, because fish are relatives of He Bo, and if they eat fish, they will offend He Bo.If you offend He Bo, how can you ferry him?

Everything is calm, completely unaware that there are tens of thousands of people armed with knives, guns and arrows, coming here to kill people!
"Dengdengdeng..."

The sound of horseshoes came from the north.The ferryman raised his bamboo hat to look around, and there was a cloud of dust and cavalrymen.In this turbulent age, ordinary people can only hide from such dangerous people.The ferrymen fled in all directions, and the cavalry arrived before them in a blink of an eye.

Duan Hongchen looked it over and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy was a step late.

Thinking of nothing else, Duan Hongchen immediately ordered people to row the boats on this side, destroy the boats on the opposite side that can be destroyed, and move those boats that can be moved over.It's best to burn the opposite mountain, wood, and things that can make boats.

The rest of the cavalry were not idle, they dismounted and prepared fortifications on the river side.

Fences, arrow towers, camps.

Duan Hongchen stood on the bank, staring at the pawns rowing hard on the river, a bad feeling flashed in his heart.

Climb to a high ground, look far away, there is dust flying in the distance, but after a cup of tea, a team of cavalry suddenly arrives, charging with a big banner with the word "seal" high up.

At this time, the soldiers who rowed the boat had just reached the opposite bank, and they had not had time to destroy the boat!
