Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3354
It is conceivable that with the current disparity between Goguryeo and Datang, there must be countless people who believe that Goguryeo will lose, and it is not surprising that some of them think like myself.

Especially the Gao royal family.

If they are allowed to steal the meritorious service of "Kaicheng to welcome the master of the king", coupled with their status, they will definitely be reused by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so why should they have anything to do with themselves?
I really think I am slow!
Fortunately, Chang Sun Chong has the same interests as himself, and he doesn't want others to take the credit...

He took a deep breath, patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Da Lang is here, otherwise, in my opinion, if I tell my father about this matter, I think my father will not want to have a conflict with the royal family at this time." , it is very likely that the Seven Star Gate will be handed over to the royal family to continue to defend. If that is the case, the matter will be over."

If you can't control the Qixing Gate, you can't open the city and lead the Tang army into the city when the Tang soldiers are approaching the city. Without such credit, no matter who dominates the situation in Goguryeo in the future, he Yuan boys will not escape death.

For the current Yuan boy, the Seven Stars Gate is his life...

Changsun Chong smiled and said, "Don't worry, my son, we have the same interests at the moment. How can others take away such a feat as controlling the Seven Star Gate to welcome the Tang army into the city?"

Boy Yuan nodded repeatedly, and said angrily: "The one who grabs the bone is the most abominable!"

Chang Sun Chong: "..."

Who will grab the bone with whom?
It's just unreasonable...

Ignore Boy Yuan, command the soldiers under his command to take over the defense of the Seven Stars Gate, and then sort out the barracks near the Seven Stars Gate, and settle down for the time being.

The battle outside the city was in full swing. Now that the Tang army had captured Dacheng Mountain City, it was difficult for Anhe Palace to stop the Tang army.In particular, Anhe Palace is very close to Qixing Gate, and there is no other defensive mountain city between the two. When the Tang army besieged Anhe Palace, they could divide their troops and go south to Pingrang City.

At that time, the Qixing Gate will become the focus of the Tang army's onslaught. As long as you open the city gate and lead the Tang army into the city, with the fighting power of the Tang army, you will surely sweep the whole city and win the final victory. It is complete.

Thinking of returning to the city of Chang'an that he had been dreaming about, Chang Sun Chong felt his blood agitated, and raised his head slightly, looking at the snow falling like goose feathers in the dark sky.

It was as if in the dark sky, the pure white falling snow outlined that incomparably beautiful face.

A stabbing pain in my heart...

*****
Tang Jun set foot in Liaodong with an invincible army, and drove straight in all the way, as if entering the land of no one.However, they suffered heavy losses at the city of Anshi, which slowed down the advance of the army, and severely delayed the strategy planned before the war.

Fortunately, Anshi City was captured in time, and the army swept across the entire Liaodong. After that, they forcibly crossed the Yalu River, and the troops went straight to Pingrang City.

But once again, they were stubbornly blocked by the Goguryeo army, and they were unable to attack the city of Ping Rang for a long time.

The harsh winter and the unfavorable battle situation made the morale of the army unstable and low, and everyone was suffocating.If this energy cannot be released in time and converted into combat power, it will decline again and again. At that time, morale will be low and the army's heart will be weak, and this battle will become more and more difficult.

His Majesty Li Er's seemingly self-willed and arbitrary general attack order was actually issued in a very timely manner.

At this moment, the armies from all walks of life have long been tired of the bitter cold weather in Liaodong, and only want to capture Ping Rang City as soon as possible. Therefore, after the general attack order is issued, they immediately attack their respective targets aggressively like a tiger coming out of its nest.

The Goguryeo army was not as powerful as the Tang army, and they didn't expect the Tang army's general attack to come so suddenly. The command was delayed by surprise, which caused the frontline troops to be beaten into a bewilderment and retreated steadily.

Under the heavy snow all over the sky, Tang's army is in full swing, with frequent success stories.

……

Chinese army tent.

His Majesty Li Er sat in the middle, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang who were unable to go into battle sat on the two sides. The imperial guards and scouts stood outside the tent, waiting for dispatch at any time, and went to the various ministries to issue military orders.

Countless battle report snowflakes generally gather in the central army tent, the scribes and Sima are busy sorting them out, and the on-the-spot records that need to be filed need to be submitted to the imperial court by His Majesty Li Er. It was flying, but the tent was steaming.

His Majesty Li Er knelt behind the book case, looked at the battle report in his hand from time to time, and then compared the situation of the enemy and ourselves updated at any time on the map, sometimes whispered a few words with Changsun Wuji, discussed it, and continued to issue more various orders Order.

Although there is no longer the intimacy between the two, His Majesty Li Er still trusts Changsun Wuji's strategic vision.

Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, those who could be called famous scholars could be promoted to generals and ministers, with both civil and military skills.

Since the Song Dynasty, military generals were rejected, leading to different approaches to civil and military affairs, advocating literature and suppressing military affairs, and a group of "weak scholars" gradually took on major responsibilities and extremely discriminated against military affairs.Then there was a farce where a man who had only read a few military books could talk about the country without greed. In their eyes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were just numbers. .

The result is that there is no wealth, technology, and population that are unmatched in the world, but they have been suppressed and beaten by foreign races for hundreds of years. In the end, the country was cut off, and the land of Shenzhou sank...

Simultaneous development of civil and martial arts is the way of king and hegemony.

A scout rushed in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee inside the tent, and reported loudly: "There is a person in front who claims to be the servant of the Changsun family, and is captured by the scouts with the seal of the Changsun family, claiming to meet Zhao Guogong. thing."

Before Changsun Wuji could answer, His Majesty Li Er was already refreshed and said, "Bring it in!"

"Here!"

The scout withdrew and immediately brought in another person.

The man entered the tent, first saluted His Majesty Li Er who was behind the book case, and then saluted the eldest grandson Wuji, escaped with a letter in his arms, handed it with both hands, and said: "The servant is ordered by Da Lang to present the secret to the Patriarch. letter."

Changsun Wuji looked at His Majesty Li Er and said, "It was the loyal servant who ran away with Da Lang back then."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said, "Let's read the secret letter first."

Since it was a secret letter sent back by Chang Sun Chong, there is only one thing at this critical juncture...

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji finally opened the envelope to read the secret letter after inspecting that the sealant was intact, and then presented it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, a little excited: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, old minister, a great event can be accomplished!"

"Oh?"

His Majesty Li Er's heart skipped a beat, but the secret letter had ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he heaved a sigh of relief and praised: "Da Lang did a good job!"

Although he has the confidence to capture Ping Rang City, the cost of blindly attacking is too high. Although he ordered "no casualties", how could he see the children of Guanzhong who followed him on an expedition thousands of miles die in a foreign land and die in a foreign land for the sake of victory?
Now that the eldest Sun Chong is working together, the casualties in the capture of Ping Rang City can be minimized, and His Majesty Li Er can't hide his excitement.

This feat alone has saved tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand Tang disciples from casualties, which is enough to pardon Changsun Chong for all his past crimes.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "I dare not be praised by your majesty, it is really a matter of the eldest grandson's family... Dalang's letter said that only Gao Yanwu led five thousand soldiers to guard the Anhe Palace, and he himself defended the Seven Star Gate with Yuan Boys .As long as the Anhe Palace falls, the Seven Stars Gate will be isolated from the army, and if Da Lang joins in, the city will be destroyed soon!"

Being able to serve as scribes in the Zhongjun tent, they are all descendants of the aristocratic family who are rooted in Zheng Miaohong, and everyone is trustworthy. These people heard the words of Changsun Wuji and knew that a big victory is in front of them. They couldn't help but whisper to each other, and they were extremely excited .

After going out for a long time, they are more or less war-weary. Now that victory is in sight, how can they not be excited?
His Majesty Li Er didn't want to be harsh, so he immediately ordered: "After ordering Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche's troops to wipe out the Dacheng Mountain City, they will immediately go south to attack Anhe Palace. In the early morning of tomorrow, I will come to the battlefield in person and fight for the two of them, breaking through the Seven Star Gate in one fell swoop. !"

"Here!"

Immediately, a clerk hurriedly wrote a document order, sealed it, and handed it to the scouts together with the tiger talisman seal.

Within the mountain city of Dacheng, there are ruins everywhere, and the corpses of soldiers from both the enemy and us can be seen everywhere.The Tang army braved the heavy snow to clean up the battlefield overnight, and used this place as a camp for launching the next stage of attack, and transported food, fodder and military equipment into the mountain city one by one.

In the dilapidated barracks in the city, when the military order arrived, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche took off their armor and drank tea relative to each other.

The two stood up to receive the order, and then Cheng Yaojin looked at the heavy snow outside like goose feathers, sighed, and said: "This battle is finally over."
