Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3223 each with their own minds

As a close minister of the emperor, so that he can stand at the center of the empire and hover at the top of power, Zhu Sui has ambitions in his conscience.

Who doesn't want to hold the power and call for a hundred promises?
Who doesn't want to point out Jiangshan and reprimand Fang Qiu?
Zhu Suiliang has become one of the few leaders in the world in terms of literature. He is well-known all over the world and has a good literary name. Because of this, he has been favored by His Majesty Li Er, and he thinks he is the first-class talent in the world.Du Ruhui once lived in the position of chancellor, Fang Xuanling once lived in it, Li Ji also lived in it, maybe in the future even Fang Junna and other children can live in it...why can't I live in it?
Even if you can't live in the position of Zaifu, you should be able to control the political situation of the court and weigh the officials in the world, right?He thinks that no one is inferior, and what he lacks is just an opportunity to show his talents.As long as the opportunity comes, you can soar into the sky and become a blockbuster.

That's why he has repeatedly intervened in the government and military affairs, just wanting to show his ability in front of His Majesty Li Er.

He doesn't want to be just a close minister of the emperor for the rest of his life, relying on "slanderous words to flatter and do what he likes" to maintain his status and family's wealth!
However, things backfired, but they were repeatedly reprimanded and excluded.

That's right, he regarded the successive encounters as the jealousy of the civil servants and generals, so he joined hands to repel him, in order to keep the power in their respective hands from being touched by him, the emperor's close minister.

So, how can you feel calm in your heart?
A wave of resentment breeds determination in the chest, one is that His Majesty Li Er doesn't know people well, and he is full of talents but has no chance to reuse them, and the other is also resentful for Li Ji, Su Dingfang and others for rejecting dissidents and being open-minded. Narrow-minded, unwilling to admit his ability to govern the world.

But in front of His Majesty Li Er, he didn't dare to show this resentment in the slightest.He has followed His Majesty Li Er for many years, and he knows how talented and wise this emperor is. Under the seemingly easy-going representative, there is a deep-seated cadre and arbitrariness!

Once His Majesty Li Er finds out about his grievances, he is likely to be exiled far away, and he will not be allowed to approach the center of the empire.

The previous time he was relegated because of Wei Zheng's manuscript, it was a gloomy haze that he had never experienced in his life, how many people were so sophisticated and the world was indifferent made him suffer setbacks, and he was unwilling to experience it again in his whole life.

So he felt that he had to endure, as long as he endured, one day he would be able to get his own opportunity, and officially climbed to the pinnacle of imperial power from then on.

Of course, he himself is well aware that all power and wealth come from imperial power...

*****
September [-]rd, early morning.

The withered trees and yellow weeds are all covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, the river is rushing, and the mountains in the distance are no longer as lush as they were in midsummer. Ugly and desolate.

Numerous naval ships are crowded together one by one on the Yalu water, like a school of fish, connected with each other by iron locks to reduce shaking, and thick wooden boards are placed on the ship. They are all connected by wedges, like a solid bridge.

Overnight, such a wide and stable pontoon bridge was built on the Yalu River. At dawn, a part of the Tang army began to gather on the north bank of the Yalu River according to their respective units, and quickly crossed the river.

The cavalry under the command of Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo were the first to cross the river, and this time they still took on the task of vanguard.After tens of thousands of horses crossed the river, they made some adjustments on the south bank, and then went south with their whips. The two armies went south along the flat area of ​​the coastline, detoured all the way to the east and circulated among the mountains, and they all killed hundreds of miles away. Rang city.

The Chinese army was commanded by Li Ji himself. After crossing the river, they headed south all the way to Pingrang City, and joined the other two vanguards and Pingrang City.

In the early winter season, His Majesty Li Er wore a fox fur and stood on the north bank of the Yalu River on his horse. He watched countless big Tang children stepping up the pontoon bridge and crossing the wide Yalu River in an orderly manner. After arriving at the south bank, Immediately, he galloped to the south at full speed, feeling overwhelmed and unable to control himself for a while.

A hot-blooded man, who doesn't have great ambitions, hoping to be able to guide the country and do things well, and the direction of his sword will make countless tigers go forward without hesitation, and see death as home?
This is the greatest achievement of a man!

Hundreds of thousands of troops rolled forward in the hometown of Hanlelang County, like an unstoppable torrent, raging and rushing forward, smashing and tearing up some mountain cities and troops that were trying to resist in front of them, and rushed straight to the capital of Goguryeo Ping Rang City.

……

Ping Rang City.

"Report!"

Inside the yamen hall of Damoli Zhifu, the messenger reported three times a day.

"The Tang army captured Boba City last night. Thirty thousand defenders in the city died in battle, and all the rest surrendered. The entire army has been wiped out."

"Tens of thousands of captives are being escorted back to the territory of the Tang Dynasty by the Tang Army's navy. Bobao City has completely fallen, and the Tang Army Emperor's camp has already been set up in the city."

"Beginning last night, the Tang army navy set up a pontoon bridge on the Yalu water. At dawn, the Tang army began to cross the river. The two vanguards had already crossed the river. After a little adjustment, they went east and west and went straight to Pingrang city! "

……

Above the yamen hall, all the officials were silent, and an extremely pessimistic mood spread rapidly.

Everyone knows that the Yalu Water cannot stop the Tang army, and that the fall of Bocai City is a matter of time, but everyone has extravagant hopes that Bocai City can also hold on for many days like Anshi City, until the severe winter When it comes, even if the Tang army has three heads and six arms, they can only return to the court and return in defeat, repeating the old story of the Sui army's conquest of Goguryeo.

However, Bochang City is not Anshi City after all, and Goguryeo has only one Ulji Mundeok.

The solid Bora City was conquered by the Tang army, tens of thousands of defenders were wiped out, and a pontoon bridge was built on the wide Yalu water overnight. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops are now rushing towards Pingrao City.

From Yalushui to Pingrang City, there were still many mountain castles during the period, but the Goguryeo court decided that these mountain castles could not pose a threat to the Tang army, and could not even slightly hinder the Tang army's marching speed, so they simply wiped out all the soldiers. They were all transferred back to Pingrang City, and concentrated the power of the whole country to fight to the death under Pingrang City.

However, the speed of the Tang army's rapid advance since the Eastern Expedition, and its invincible and invincible combat power made it difficult for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to be lucky.

Goguryeo used to be an army all over the country and resisted several attacks by the Great Sui Dynasty. However, now facing the climax and replacement of the Han army, I am afraid that it will eventually be exhausted and the country will perish...

Yuan Gai Suwen carefully read the battle report in his hand, put it on the desk, got up and came to the side of the wall, stood still with his hands behind his back, and looked at the map on the wall for a long time, sketching the route of the Tang army's three-way march in his mind, for a long time, Just then turned around and faced the panicked ministers with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "The Tang army is powerful, but it is not invincible. I have the right time, the right place, and the right people. How can I fail in this battle? Don't panic, everyone. As long as we can hold on to Ping Rang City for two months, the weather will be freezing and the water will freeze, and the Tang army's navy will not be able to quickly supply supplies for its army. Moreover, most of the Tang army has soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River who cannot tolerate the severe cold. Frost to death and frostbite will destroy the morale of the army. As long as Ping Rang City is defended, the troops of the whole country will continue to gather, and allies from the surrounding ethnic groups will come to help, and the defeat of the Tang army is a foregone conclusion!"

The tone of these words was sonorous, and some ministers in the yamen hall sneered, thinking that Goguryeo was doomed, and there was no way to recover. Of course, some were infected by Yuan Gai Suwen's aura, and felt that it was not impossible to fight.

The previous Sui expeditions to Goguryeo were fierce and irresistible every time, but in the end they all returned in defeat. It can be seen that Goguryeo belongs to the destiny and cannot be overthrown by foreign enemies.

"Mandate of Heaven" is a mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, but no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, people believe in it firmly.

To put it bluntly, this is "potential", or "luck", which is endowed and received by people, such as the status of high and low.People in Goguryeo admired the culture of the Han family, and they were familiar with Han classics, knowing the meaning of "although Zhou De declined, the destiny of heaven has not changed, and the importance of the tripod cannot be questioned".

Since the Great Sui Dynasty was in its prime and wiped out the barbarians all over the world, why did the whole country attack Goguryeo three times without success?
Gai Goguryeo is "belonging to the destiny".

Knowing that "destiny belongs to me" will naturally strengthen your confidence and boost your morale...

Of course, those who were worried about the precariousness of Pingrang City believed that Pingrang City would be reduced to scorched earth under the fierce attack of the Tang army. So they made up their minds one after another, and subconsciously glanced at the well-mannered Tang family son who was sitting behind Yuangai Suwen kneeling.

If he could secretly connect with him, he might be able to turn against him before the battle and swear allegiance to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Many people have moved their minds...
