Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 997
Gao Yanshou, who lost Liaodong City in one day, became the commander of the army again?

Su Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard the news. Although he used countermeasures to alienate the relationship between Gao Jianwu and Yuan Gai Suwen, and wanted Gao Jianwu to change his command, he never expected that Gao Jianwu would let the defeated general Gao Yanshou lead the army. soldier.

Gao Yanshou was lucky enough to let Gao Yanshou escape. He thought Gao Yanshou would be executed by Gao Jianwu. After all, Liaodong was lost soon. This is definitely a heinous crime, and beheading is not an exaggeration.

But why didn't they expect that instead of punishing Gao Yanshou, Gao Jianwu let Gao Yanshou continue to lead the army? What kind of logic is this?
What was Gao Jianwu thinking?
I can't figure it out at all.

No matter what, this is a good thing after all, Gao Yanshou won't suddenly get enlightened after suffering a big defeat, right?
"My lord, the army returning from Silla, plus the elite soldiers assembled by the King of Goguryeo from other places, has a total of about 25 soldiers and horses. It is said to be 50 troops!"

"Okay, very good, you sent the news in time, it's a great achievement, you go down and have a good rest first!" Su Cheng said with a smile in a good mood.

Although there were 50 enemy troops, Su Cheng was not reconciled at all.

As the saying goes, a raging soldier will lead a raging nest, let alone Gao Yanshou leading 25 horses, even if he really led 50 horses, so what?

Xue Wanche, Xue Rengui and others rode their horses and said with a smile: "My lord, our Shenji Battalion has begun to enter the city!"

"Go, enter the city!" Su Cheng laughed heartily.

"My lord seems very happy!" Xue Wanche said with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy to capture Black Bone City, aren't you happy?" Su Cheng asked.

Xue Wanche and Xue Rengui nodded quickly after hearing this: "Happy, of course happy!"

Although they were not as excited and happy as they captured Jian'an City and Liaodong City, after all they captured the city of Goguryeo, so of course they were happy in their hearts.

But apart from being happy, I was also somewhat envious.

Especially Xue Wanche, he led the cavalry, and he was also the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion, so he had no chance to go to the battlefield during this expedition.

It is not his turn to attack the city, nor is it his turn to pursue and block it, because the contribution of the Shenji Battalion is already great enough, so it is not good to go and grab the credit, right?

He doesn't care if he gets credit or not, he just wants to fight fiercely on the battlefield.

As a result, he had nothing to do during this journey to the East, except for marching and rushing, and then watching a play.

If he had known that Goguryeo was so unwilling to fight, he might as well not have followed the expedition. It was more interesting to stay with the princess than to just march and not fight.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "However, I am very happy today."

Xue Wanche asked curiously: "Oh? Why is the father-in-law so happy?"

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Because I received the news that Goguryeo's army has finally returned to Pyongyang City, and Gao Jianwu has mobilized some elite soldiers, who claim to have an army of 50, and they have already come to us in a mighty way..."

Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, Xue Wanche had a look of great joy on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "That's great, that's great! This is finally a hard fight!"

As for the 50 army, Xue Wanche didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he felt that Goguryeo should have some support with so many troops assembled, right?

Xue Rengui murmured: "Grandpa, does Goguryeo still have 50 soldiers and horses?"

If Goguryeo could really gather so many soldiers and horses, then Gao Jianwu would not have to let the army that attacked Silla return to the division. After all, the soldiers and horses that attacked Silla almost completely captured Silla.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course not that many. In fact, Gao Jianwu only assembled 25 horses, claiming to be 50!"

Xue Wanche couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, feeling sorry in his heart, there are only 25 horses, and he doesn't know if he can hold on!

However, the Duke admired Yuan Gai Suwen very much, and Yuan Gai Suwen should have some ability to lead the army. I hope he can hold on, otherwise, this Eastern Expedition would be too boring.

Xue Rengui said with a smile: "20 horses is the main force of Goguryeo. If you defeat this army, you will be powerless to go to Goguryeo! This is really a happy event!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "This is not what surprised me the most. Who do you think is the commander of the Goguryeo army?"

Guess who the coach of the army is?That means it must not be Yuan Gai Su Wen, but how do you guess?Xue Rengui laughed and said, "Hearing what my father said, the commander of the Goguryeo army must not be Yuan Gai Suwen, but the general is dull, so I really can't guess who it is!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The leader of the army is Gao Yanshou!"

Xue Rengui and Xue Wanche cried out together: "What? It's Gao Yanshou? How is this possible?"

Gao Yanshou is the defeated general, and he is also the most incompetent and useless general of the defeated army. How could King Goguryeo let Gao Yanshou lead the army?

Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's Gao Yanshou!"

Xue Rengui and Xue Wanche were very speechless. They really wanted to ask Gao Jianwu, what happened to your head being caught by the door?
It is impossible to choose who will be the master general. Do you have to choose an incompetent defeated general as the coach?
Xue Rengui said happily: "This is really a big surprise. Gao Jianwu actually asked Gao Yanshou to be the commander of the army. Even if we want to lose, it will be difficult for us!"

Xue Wanche nodded and said: "Indeed, Gao Yanshou may have read military books, but he is just a waste of guts. If he is the commander of Goguryeo, the Goguryeo army must be finished!"

Xue Wanche's tone was not lacking in regret. Before that, he expected Yuan Gai Su Wen to lead the army to fight a little bit, but now it is good. If Gao Yanshou is replaced by that trash, he is afraid that there will be no more battles.

Su Cheng couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Although Gao Yanshou is indeed incompetent and a bit useless, the Goguryeo army is coming so aggressively, so we can't underestimate the enemy!"

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing. Goguryeo had 25 soldiers, far more than them, but he said that the enemy should not be underestimated. It's funny to think about it.

The army slowly entered the city, and the chaos in the city was quickly subsided. After the Shenji camp set up camp, Su Cheng immediately rushed to the mansion in the center of the city.

Many generals have already gathered here, and everyone gathered around the map and were discussing with great interest the route to attack and how to fight next.

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Just find the nearest route and build a bridge when encountering water. If you encounter a city and a mountain, that's even better. Just blast it away with cannons!"

Yuchi said with a smile: "Old Cheng is right, the army is pointing directly at Pyongyang City, breaking through Pyongyang City, and capturing Gao Jianwu alive!"

Seeing Su Cheng walking in, Cheng Yaojin immediately asked, "Boy Su, what do you think?"
