Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2238
The Goguryeo warrior's face was cold and hard, his tongue was hard, and he couldn't speak clearly: "What does this have to do with us? Twenty or so of us sneaked into Huating Town from Goguryeo, and now there are only three or five left. It's because we can't do our best. Try your best, it's really the mantis catching the cicada, the house sparrow is behind... It's not a crime of war. The Tang Navy is strong, and all of them are equipped with firearms. "

Don't look at the clamor of Goguryeo, saying that if the Tang Dynasty dares to attack, it will never come back, and threatened to capture His Majesty Li Er, in exchange for a few princesses to be concubines for the general in the army...

As hard as the words are, so much need is there in the heart.

Dozens of millions of elite troops are fighting at the frontier, sharpening their knives and mobilizing their horses all the time. The whole Goguryeo has long been in turmoil. It is said that those high-ranking officials in Pyongyang even sleep with one eye open, lest the Tang Dynasty navy will go directly to the river. On the other hand, when he woke up, he came to the city and became a subjugated slave...

Especially for the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, which is rampant across the ocean, it can directly land at any place to cut off the food roads of the Goguryeo army, and can also continuously supply the Tang army with supplies, which makes Goguryeo quite fearful.

……

Goguryeo's whole country was on guard against the Tang Dynasty, which had already begun more than ten years ago.

In the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turkic leader Li Khan, and the Goguryeo King Rongliu sent envoys to congratulate him and put up a map of the domain.In the fifth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er ordered to send Sima Changsun, the governor of Guangzhou, to recover the bones of the generals who died during the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and to destroy the capital set up by Goguryeo.

King Rongliu was deeply terrified, fearing that the Tang Dynasty would continue the Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition again, and hoped to devote all the power of the whole country to build a Great Wall with a length of more than a thousand miles, running from north to south, and blocking the Tang army from the Great Wall.

However, the Great Wall can be repaired if you want to?

Goguryeo is a small area with few people. Even if the whole country recruits peasants and eats chaff and vegetables, it cannot afford to build the Great Wall that is thousands of miles long. Therefore, this great idea can only exist in the case of King Rongliu.After more than a thousand years, the sticks who regarded the Goguryeo people as their ancestors found this clue from the pile of old papers, and they were suddenly excited!
This is the evidence that the great Goguryeo was once invincible!
see?The Han people can build the Great Wall, so can we Goguryeo. Maybe the Great Wall built by the Han people is a long-standing rumour, and it is said to have passed from Goguryeo.

It's just a pity that after searching the land of Liaodong and the mountains and rivers on the peninsula, there is no trace of the so-called "Great Wall of Goguryeo", not even a single brick or tile.

This is very embarrassing. Generally speaking, some buildings that existed in history will collapse and be damaged due to the erosion of time and changes in the earth's crust, thus annihilated in the invincible years, but no matter how they collapse and erode, they will never be destroyed. Can't even find a brick or a tile?

Facts have proved that the so-called "Great Wall of Goguryeo" definitely does not exist.

But the people of Goguryeo are smart and cannot afford to build a real Great Wall, so what can they use to resist the invincible master of the Tang Dynasty?

Then someone got along with a way to build mountain fortresses along the mountains in the middle of Liaodong, and then train these mountain fortresses into a line...

After 16 years, the "Great Wall" was finally completed, and Yuan Gaisuwen led the whole country's troops to defend these mountain castles to resist the conquest of the Tang Dynasty.

……

Chen Bing's hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong are like a sharp sword hanging over Goguryeo's head. It may fall anytime and anywhere, and it will definitely fall. one of the...

Changsun Langjun's face was hidden under the bamboo hat, his expression was invisible, but his tone was rather disdainful: "On the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I guarantee you will be fine."

The Goguryeo warrior obviously didn't believe it, and muttered: "What are you bragging about? You have become a homeless dog yourself, and you can still keep me? I only hope that you can still be so calm and composed when you meet Fang Er."

Grandson Langjun fell silent.

There seemed to be a slight chill in the air...

The Goguryeo warrior swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He knew in his heart that this eldest grandson Langjun was highly valued by Da Mo Lizhi. If he was offended, he would push the responsibility for the failure of this operation to his own mountain. When he returned to Goguryeo, he would be furious. Da Mo Lizhi lit the sky lantern...

"Everything is to follow the orders of the eldest grandson, what you say, I will do!"

Under the power, the Goguryeo warriors resolutely confessed.

Changsun Langjun remained silent, his body standing in front of the window remained motionless, as if his anger had not been exhausted, and after a long while, he said coldly: "Disrespecting the general's order is really a taboo in the army. Now you and I I am dissatisfied with my morality, and I have many doubts about my orders. If I continue to act, I am afraid that I will be overthrown. If this is the case, it is better to return to Goguryeo as soon as possible."

The Goguryeo warrior turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's my fault, I'll make an apology for you..."

"I can't bear it! The general belongs to the royal family of Goguryeo. He has a high position and authority, and he is deeply trusted by Da Molizhi. How dare I take it as your apology? If you really want to make amends, please ask the general to go to Damolizhi after returning to Goguryeo." Make amends. In the final analysis, I am just an outsider, so what does it matter to me whether I can get Zhentianlei, whether I can alienate the Tang Emperor from trusting Fang Jun and Su Dingfang?"

After saying that, Changsun Langjun stretched out his hand and grabbed the coir raincoat that was on the table beside him, put it on calmly, turned and went downstairs.

The Goguryeo warrior's face was ashen, but he dared not speak out. He stomped his feet fiercely, followed the grandson Langjun downstairs, walked out of the door, and walked into the rainy sky.

*****
Huating Town.

The smashed warehouse on the pier has been cleaned up, and the broken corpses of the soldiers who were killed by the bombing collected from the ruins have been restrained. However, the thunder is so powerful that many bombs explode together, and the corpses of the soldiers are all gone. Dilapidated and illegible.

The navy has its own system. Although these soldiers did not die on the battlefield, they were killed by thieves because they were guarding military supplies. This is equivalent to dying for the country. Therefore, after collecting their bodies, they were buried on the west side of Wusongkou On the top of the hill, there is a cemetery of the navy's fallen soldiers.

Since the establishment of the Royal Navy, it has been fighting abroad and has never aimed its spearhead at home. Even though most of the pirates exterminated were Han Chinese, they were not considered citizens of the Tang Dynasty because they had already fallen into bandits, so the cemetery There is a huge stone tablet on the hillside, with the inscription "serving the country with all sincerity", which has made the reputation of the Navy widely supported by the people.

Pei Xingjian has been busy in the township office until now. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and candles were lit on the table, he put down the brush in his hand, got up and went to the window, and stretched while watching the pattering rain outside the window.

A burst of exhaustion hit, my stomach was empty, and there was a thunderous sound...

It just so happened that Su Dingfang and Shangguanyi came in from outside, Pei Xingjian hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and then ordered the clerk to prepare a table of wine and food, and the three of them had dinner in the value room.

Between pushing cups and changing cups, the three of them were in a particularly comfortable mood.

This sudden change made the situation suddenly tense. If it cannot be dealt with properly, its follow-up influence will be too great. Not only Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang cannot escape the responsibility, but even Fang Jun who is still in Guanzhong will be implicated.

This is simply a conspiracy against Fang Jun...

But fortunately, Zhang Mingpu kept all the secrets, leaving behind Wang Jingxun's loophole, which was tightly held by Pei Xingjian, thus breaking the situation.

It can't be regarded as breaking the game, after all, the missing Zhentianlei has not been found yet, Fang Jun still has to bear some responsibility, but compared to the previous dangerous situation, it is already insignificant.

Pei Xingjian respected Su Dingfang with a cup, and said with a smile: "Zhang Mingpu put the horse well, so that the situation will lose its sense of urgency, and Chang'an will be able to turn around, without making His Majesty face the mastermind behind this matter, otherwise even if the case His Majesty will not be happy if it is completely solved. Now it is very different. Although the case cannot be traced to the final mastermind, His Majesty is willing to see it, and Erlang was punished because of this. If you succeed, you may not be at a disadvantage if you are simple and honest.”

Su Dingfang drank the wine in his glass, sighed slightly, and said: "In the past, a certain person was in the army. He was strong and upright. He didn't rub the sand in his eyes. He only knew how to fight the enemy, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, but he was never reused, and he couldn't stretch his ambition. , It was not until the age of [-] that I learned some principles of life. I was recommended by Erlang and trusted by Your Majesty, and my official career was prosperous, but I also lost some of my persistent beliefs. I don’t know whether it is good or bad. I often sigh and feel confused ..."

The ideal is noble, but the reality is too cruel.

Some people stick to their beliefs and stay committed, even if they are born at an untimely fate, they can leave a good name through the ages; The most precious persistence.

Which is better?

Who is right and who is wrong?

No one can tell.

Shangguanyi on the side was silent for a while, and said softly: "We are born as human beings, and we should be worthy of the heaven and the earth. After a hundred years, when the coffin is finalized, if we can leave a scale and a half claw in the history, this life will not be in vain. "
