Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 990 Disputes
Hearing the king's forgiveness of his innocence, Gao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully, "Thank you, the king, for your forgiveness!"

Gao Jianwu was not in the mood. He paced the hall with his hands behind his back, furiously said: "What a Li Shimin! What a Tang! How dare you plot against the lonely Liaodong!"

"Three times before the Sui Dynasty, a million troops could occupy a piece of land. The Tang Dynasty only had 10,000+ soldiers and horses to invade Liaodong. It is wishful thinking!"

Gao Zheng said generously: "Your Majesty, after hearing this, I was very angry and reprimanded the Emperor Tang, saying that there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and tens of millions of people in Goguryeo. If the Great Tang does not retreat, we will fight to the death with them! "

Gao Jianwu suddenly turned around after hearing this, and shouted: "That's right! There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and tens of millions of people. If Li Shimin deceives others too much, I will fight to the death with the strength of the whole country! Gao Zheng, Datang What did the emperor say?"

Gao Zheng said in a deep voice: "My lord, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said yes, yes, let's weigh the hundreds of thousands of our Goguryeo army."

Liaodong is determined not to give up. Although Liaodong is bitter and cold, it has become the gateway to their Goguryeo. If Liaodong is gone, then their Goguryeo has no danger to defend, and can only be threatened by the Central Plains Dynasty at all times.

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "Liaodong must not lose anything. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty deceived people too much, so I will fight to the death! Come, pass on Gu's order, and call the ministers to see him immediately!"

Soon, all the courtiers gathered in the main hall, Gao Zheng explained the details of the envoy, and all the ministers were filled with righteous indignation.

"Datang is really deceiving people! It's really unreasonable to want to plot against Liaodong!"

"Yes, Liaodong has been owned by us Goguryeo since ancient times, how can it be ceded to Datang?"

"Liaodong is the gateway to our Goguryeo, and we must never lose it!"

"Yes, Liaodong must not be lost. If Liaodong is lost, our Goguryeo hinterland will be exposed to the Tang Dynasty's swords and guns, and there will be no peace day and night!"

"The Tang Dynasty is really deceiving people too much. We have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Goguryeo. Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't pay attention to these hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Your Majesty, I will fight to the death! If we can block the million-strong army of the former Sui Dynasty from Goguryeo, how can we really be afraid of the 10,000+ troops of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, I will fight to the death! Datang's artillery cannons attack the city, but it is useless to attack the city!"

Gao Jianwu raised his hand, and the servant next to him shouted loudly: "Silence! Be quiet!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty intends to invade Liaodong, and he is really deceiving people. After repelling the million-strong army of the former Sui Dynasty, now that we in Goguryeo are united as one, are we still afraid that the Tang army will fail?"

All the ministers were also full of pride when they heard it. The million-strong army of the former Sui Dynasty could resist it, but it was unreasonable that they could not resist the 10,000+ troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Now they don't think that Tang's soldiers and horses are much more elite than their Goguryeo soldiers and horses. Although the Tang army captured Liaodong, it was because of the advantage of artillery, not real ability.

"Your Majesty, the army that went out for the expedition will return to the capital in a few days. By then, 20 elite warriors will be enough to kill the Tang army, so don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the soldiers who are going to the battle are all elites, and General Yuan is proficient in military strategy and strategy. He will definitely defeat the Tang army. Why should Your Majesty worry?"

Yuan Gai Suwen?Hearing Yuan Gai Suwen's name, Gao Jianwu couldn't help frowning.

Gao Jianwu already fully agrees with Yuan Gai Suwen's ability to lead the army. In terms of ability alone, Yuan Gai Suwen is of course the best candidate, but Yuan Gai Suwen's loyalty has become a problem.

If Yuan Gai Su Wen had doubts, then the 20 troops would have completely buried the enemy!

Gao Jianwu murmured: "Yuan Gai Suwen! Gu is very appreciative of Yuan Gai Suwen's ability to lead the army, but Yuan Gai Suwen and Datang Rongguo have an old relationship, and the relationship between the two is irreversible!"

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Army has nothing to do with Yuan Gai Su Wen! Although Yuan Gai Su Wen conquered Silla with great momentum, but now he hastily retreated and returned all the cities he occupied to Silla. Money and food, loss of soldiers and generals, and the fall of Liaodong, Yuan Gai Su Wen deserves to be punished for his crime!"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Gai Su Wen must have defected to the Tang Dynasty, and that's why he caused the fall of Liaodong. He should be punished for his crime!"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Gai Suwen led the army to attack Silla, and he was invincible. He is a hero! As for the fall of Liaodong, it must be a trick of the Tang Dynasty. I feel that Yuan Gai Suwen has no different intentions. If you don’t use it, wouldn’t you break your own arm?”

"Why did Duke Rongguo of the Tang Dynasty justify Yuan Gai Suwen? Doesn't this mean that Yuan Gai Suwen and Datang have tricks?"

"This statement is wrong, Your Majesty, I feel that the reason why Duke Rong of the Tang Dynasty excused Yuan Gai Su Wen is to sow dissension, fearing Yuan Gai Su Wen's ability to lead the army!"

"Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Goguryeo, and there are generals such as Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen in the court. Are you still afraid of the Tang army?"

"Your Majesty, this battle is related to the fate of our Goguryeo, and there is no room for loss!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no room for any mistakes!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "I just know that there is no room for any mistakes in this battle, so it is difficult for Gu to decide who should lead the army!"

"I recommend Gao Huizhen!"

"The minister recommended Gao Yanshou. Although Gao Yanshou lost Liaodong, it was because the Tang Army's artillery was too powerful! Gao Yanshou knew the Tang Army best and was the most suitable leader!"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Yuan Gai Suwen! I feel that Yuan Gai Suwen has no second thoughts. Yuan Gai Suwen led the army to conquer Silla. He knows the situation of the army very well and has won the hearts of the soldiers. , I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable, please think twice, my lord!"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because Yuan Gai Suwen has won the hearts of the army that I feel that Yuan Gai Suwen should not be allowed to lead the army. If Yuan Gai Suwen has a different heart, then the whole army will definitely be overthrown!"

"Now that Liaodong has fallen and the enemy is in front of us, we in Goguryeo are united as one, and the soldiers are united as one, so how can the morale of the army be unstable?"

Some ministers supported Yuan Gai Suwen to lead the army, and some ministers felt that Yuan Gai Suwen had a different heart and had to guard against it. There was a lot of noise in the hall, but most ministers felt that Yuan Gai Suwen should be guarded against.

Yuan Gai Suwen won the hearts of the soldiers?

Gao Jianwu couldn't help narrowing his eyes as he listened.

If Yuan Gai Suwen really had a different intention, the three armies would be overthrown, and the country would be destroyed.

So, don't take risks!
The ministers are right, even if Yuan Gai Suwen does not lead the army, there are still generals in the court, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, are they still afraid that the Tang army will fail?
