Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3352 Unexpected
If it was placed in the south of the city, it would still be responsible for the defense while arresting the fugitive officials and civilians as before, and it would be too far away from the Seven Star Gate.

Once the Tang army approached the city, the defense of the entire Pingrang City was fully activated. A general in charge of the defense of the southern area of ​​the city wanted to lead his soldiers close to the Qixing Gate, which was equivalent to destroying the defense system of the entire Pingrang City. kill...

Yuan, who was always frivolous, was very calm at this time, and said in a deep voice: "No one can influence father's decision. But since you are transferred to the city, half of the big deal is done, and the rest can only be played by ear and left to fate." .”

Chang Sun Chong didn't think so.

He has always been self-confident, the plot of rebellion at the beginning was just a secret, and Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang and his like were limited in strength, and they were afraid of His Majesty Li Er's power, so he made mistakes in every step, resulting in a fall short of success.Right now, I am serving the thief with my body, lurking in Ping Rang City, and devoting a lot of effort to plan all this. How can I hand it over to the heavens to decide my success or failure?

Between the words, he had already arrived outside Damolizhi Mansion.

On the long street outside the gate of the mansion, teams of elite soldiers held sharp knives and killed them in awe. Several banners were rolled up in the wind and snow, and they were chasing loudly.

The atmosphere of the coming war is getting stronger.

The two got off their horses at the same time, stepped on the stone steps in front of the door together, and told the gatekeepers the details before entering the mansion hand in hand.

The atmosphere in the mansion is even more intense.

The civil and military officials hurried back and forth between the mansion gate and the main hall. The snow on the wide road was cleared, and a row of lanterns hung on both sides of the road, making the whole mansion as bright as day.

The two came to the entrance of the main hall, and Boy Yuan asked the clerk at the door: "Is father in the hall? Please, Tong Bing, I was ordered to send the elder grandson to rush into the city and come back."

The clerk said: "Da Mo Lizhi is eating in the study. I have ordered before that if the son returns, he can go directly to see him without having to pass it on."

Boy Yuan nodded, looked back at Changsun Chong, and led him not into the main hall, but bypassed the rain corridor in front of the hall, the flower hall on one side, and went straight to the study behind the main hall.

Outside the door of the study, two teams of soldiers stood holding spears. When they saw Mr. Yuan and Mr. Sun Chong, they didn't look sideways and let them enter.

The study room is luxuriously decorated, the carpet from Persia is soft and has intricate patterns, the rosewood bookshelf, the table case of huanghuali, gold and silver ornaments are dazzling, and jade treasures can be found everywhere.

Amidst the faint scent of sandalwood, Yuan Gai Suwen was sitting behind a table having a meal, on which were several delicate side dishes.

The two hurried forward and bowed to salute.

Yuan Gai Suwen glanced at the two, put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, two beautiful maids standing on the side stepped forward, removed the food on the table, and immediately After brewing another pot of hot tea, he bowed and left.

Chang Sun Chong stepped forward, poured tea for Yuan Gai Suwen with a pot, then stood on the side of the table with his hands tied, and said: "The last general is ordered to enter the city, come to listen to the order."

Yuan Gai Suwen nodded slightly, took a sip from his teacup, and then asked, "Is the change of defense going smoothly? The Tang army has already broken through Dacheng Mountain City and can reach Anhe Palace at any time. If there is a mistake in changing defense at this juncture, it is very likely that the Tang army will catch up with you." Depending on the drum, the situation is extremely unfavorable."

Changsun Chong said: "Don't worry about Lizhi, everything is going well. General Gao Yanwu is young, but he has a long history of family education and a good command of troops. He will definitely be able to attack the Tang army."

"Ah,"

Yuan Gai Suwen sneered, and said with some displeasure: "Are you here to flatter and flatter me? Dacheng and Shancheng cannot be defended, and Anhe Palace can't be defended either. The final battle must be in Pingrang City, life or death. It depends on whether the flesh and blood can resist the elite of the Tang army in the end, and the rest is just a delaying effect and does not affect the overall situation."

Changsun Chong said with trepidation, "It's the end of the world."

"It doesn't have to be."

Yuan Gai Suwen comforted him, waved his hands to let the two sit down on the chairs on one side, glanced at the boy Yuan, and then said to the eldest grandson: "I want to place Dalang in the Seven Star Gate, and join forces with the son , the gate of Xiangwei Ping Rang City, the two of you may take up a heavy burden, share my worries, and ensure that the Seven Star Gate is not lost?"

Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment, and then his heart almost jumped out of his chest with joy. Who would have expected that the truth of dying of sorrow would be so easily achieved?

Quickly controlled his emotions, with a solemn face, stood up, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "The last general is a sinful minister of the Tang Dynasty. He has nowhere to turn to like a bereaved dog. Fortunately, Da Mo Lizhi has a lot of trust and accepts him." , entrusted with important tasks, and even married off the daughter of the family... This kindness is like re-creation, how dare you not swear allegiance to the death? Don't worry about Lizhi, as long as the last general is there, the Seven Star Gate will be there; if Tang Jun wants to enter the city, only Step over the corpse of the last general!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Gai Suwen clapped his hands and praised, and said in a deep voice: "This battle will inevitably be full of dangers, let alone you, even I can't predict life and death. However, wealth and honor are sought in danger, as long as we pass this hurdle, we will become The entire Liaodong, and even the entire Far East, will be Goguryeo's sphere of influence! At that time, I will definitely reward you and allow you to become a unique country and pass it on forever!"

Chang Sun Chong's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, he even wanted to simply and completely take refuge in Yuan Gai Suwen, the reward of "becoming an independent country" is too heavy.Just think about it. In the future, the eldest grandson's family can own a piece of land and rule as the king, and no longer need to swear allegiance to others and humble themselves...

But only for a moment.

He clearly knew that the winner of this battle must be Datang, and Goguryeo had absolutely no chance of winning. Even the great reward was just a beautiful promise, and it would never be realized in the end.

On the face, there was an impassioned expression: "I am willing to die for Da Mo Li Zhi!"

"very good!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen seemed to be very satisfied with Chang Sun Chong's performance, and said gently: "But you must not be careless, the Seven Star Gate is the gate of Ping Rang City, once the Anhe Palace falls, the focus of the Tang army's fierce attack must be the Seven Star Gate. The pressure it faces will be several times higher than in other places."

Yuan boy and eldest grandson Chong said in unison: "We must live up to Da Molizhi's (father's) entrustment!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen nodded repeatedly, very satisfied.

But in a blink of an eye, his face changed slightly, as if he was a little hard to say, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Actually, how can I not know that this battle is more or less fierce? It's just that I owe the royal family's great favor. You can't protect yourself wisely during this time of national calamity, otherwise you will become the country's sinners... However, you are still young, and you have never received the country's grace. If you are powerless..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Chang Sun Chong and said with great difficulty: "Can Da Lang take care of the eldest son for the sake of my kindness in the past?"

When these words came out, Boy Yuan and Chang Sun Chong were both stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

This is when they knew they couldn't do anything, they simply opened the city and surrendered, so as to protect the Yuan boys and the Yuan clan?
How could such words come from Yuan Gai Su Wen?

The eldest Sun Chongshang was still thinking about it, wondering if Yuan Gai Suwen really had this intention or was just probing, the boy from Yuan beside him had already stood up, knelt down on the ground, tearfully said: "Father belongs to the family and country, fighting to the death with the enemy, How can the child live by idling? This is absolutely impossible, the child is willing to fight to the death for his father!"

He was really touched.

In the past, he always thought that his father favored his second brother, treated him extremely harshly and alienated him, and even wanted to pass on the position of son to his second brother.

But now I know that I am my father's son after all. Although he is not capable enough, he is more popular than his second brother, but he still loves him deeply.Even when the family and the country are alive or dead, I still have concerns, and I don't want him to die in battle with him, so that he can survive.

Of course, no matter how moved he was, he would not reveal his plans with Chang Sun Chong.

People don't kill themselves, even though their father still loves him, but he can't just follow his father all the way to the dark...

Chang Sun Chong also quickly knelt down and said: "This matter, the last general really dare not agree to it. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the swords and swords on the battlefield have no eyes. I don't know when the last general will repay the kindness of Da Mo Lizhi with his death. .Since the last general is devoted to assisting Da Mo Lizhi to defend Pingrang City, how dare he be distracted? Please take Da Mo Lizhi back to life!"

Regardless of whether Yuan Gai Suwen is tempting or not, he must show his attitude at this time...

Yuan Gai Suwen looked very relieved, chuckled, stroked his beard and said: "Just to let you be careful, if the general situation is settled and things cannot be done, you should also think about the Yuan clan... that's all , After all, I am getting old, and I am so kind-hearted and soft-hearted. You should step back and quickly take over the defense of the Seven Stars Gate. You must guard the city gate to prevent the Tang army from setting foot in the city!"
