Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 523: Bad news comes one after another, Quan Gaisu Wen uses the opponent's force to counter attack!

"Sir, urgent news has arrived from Shunzhou."

"What's the matter?"

"Shunzhou is lost."

"..."

Quan Gaisuwen waved his hand silently, and the soldiers bowed and retreated.

Ever since he fought a fierce battle with Zhishisili and was defeated in Gushan, bad news one after another continued to arrive on his chopping board.

Even Quan Gaisu and Wenren were numb.

Momi, Ganwu and Lincheng were successively defeated by Zhishisili's army, and Zhishisili's army completely let go in the territory of Goryeo.

Duofa Yue, Beifuyu City and others were all under the control of Zhishishili, and Shunzhou, Hancheng, Haigu and others on the southern front were also under the control of Su Chen.

At this point, except for the ancient city area that he currently controls, nearly 80% of the cities in Goryeo have fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

and.

Although there are many cities south of Gushan, most of them are seaside cities and very close to the coastline.

The warships of the Tang Dynasty are invincible, and there are naval forces stationed in Quanjingbilie. Once the enemy goes north from Quanjing, or sets out from the sea, and cooperates with the Zhishisi power of Lincheng...

Wow.

Quan Gaisuwen exerted force and overturned the table.

The documents on the desk were scattered all over the floor.

It is really unbelievable that in such a huge country like Goryeo, no one could resist the Tang army for a moment.

At first, he thought that if worst came to worst, they could retreat to the ancient mountain, where they could rely on the unique location of the ancient mountain to attack or defend.

But now.

Quan Gaisuwen found that he seemed to be only retreating and not advancing.

"Report!"

"General, Silla has sent an urgent letter. Please review it."

The news sent by Silla?
Quan Gaisuwen frowned, took the letter, unfolded it and read it carefully.

This letter was actually seeking cooperation.

When Goryeo was facing the wanton attacks of the Tang army, Su Chen actually still had the mind to arrange troops to attack Silla?
What a courageous person.

Quan Gaisuwen pondered. Silla did not have many troops because of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he tried to take over Silla many times, but was stopped.

Now, it was Su Chen who took action and wanted to take down Silla.

and many more.

Quan Gai Su Wen raised his eyebrows. Is Su Chen's target only Silla?

I’m afraid Baekje is also in his plan!
Quan Gaisuwen knocked his head. Joining forces with Silla could indeed bring some pressure to the Tang army, but it could not influence the overall situation.

Unless Baekje is brought in, Silla and Baekje can at least form a coalition force of 60,000.

Although the number of people is smaller, there is no problem in stopping the Tang army.

But if you want to defeat the Tang army, this amount of troops is really not enough.

With the firearms in the hands of the Tang army, at least an elite force of 150,000 people could defeat them.

As he thought about it, a slight smile appeared on Quan Gaisuwen's face.

He picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the ground, quickly wrote two letters, and handed them to the soldier.

Quan Gaisuwen said in a deep voice: "These two letters must be delivered to the hands of the King of Silla and the King of Baekje. No omissions can be made."

"Yes!"

After watching the soldiers leave, Quan Gaisuwen turned around and sat back in his chair.

The coalition forces of Silla and Baekje may not be able to defeat the Tang army head-on, but it is easy to stop the Tang army. At least it can help them attract some of the Tang army's attention.

Then the ones left are naturally Zhishi Sili and Su Chen.

It is not easy for Su Chen's men to take action on the southern front, but Zhi Shi Sili's army must find a way to get rid of them.

Especially now that Zhishishili's army has conquered more and more cities, it has gradually dispersed. If they want to defeat them one by one, the difficulty is much easier than before.

Duo duo duo.

Quan Gai Su Wen pondered for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.

Do you really want to do this?
If he did so, he would most likely be either famous or infamous for eternity.

"General, Captain Luo Heming requests to see you."

"Invite him in."

"Luo Heming meets Da Dui Lu."

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Lord Duilu, Lan Gu of the Sumo tribe has arrived in the ancient city and would like to see you, sir."

Quan Gaisuwen was silent for a moment, then asked slowly, "How many of them came?"

"My Lord, apart from the leader Lan Gu, there are a total of seventy-nine people, most of whom are strong and sturdy."

Quan Gaisuwen nodded slowly, "Please ask him to come over and have a chat."

"Yes!"

Luo Heming nodded, turned and left.

"Somebody come!"

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Clean it up."

Quan Gaisuwen raised his chin, and several soldiers understood and cleaned up the documents and tables and chairs on the ground.

In just an incense stick of time, Luo Heming strode in with a man with braided hair.

"Lan Gu of Sumo tribe, I have met Da Dui Lu of Goryeo."

"Blue Valley..."

Quan Gaisuwen smiled and said, "I have heard a lot about you."

"As the confidant of the Sumo leader, Qiqi Zhongxiang actually sent you here. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Lan Gu smiled calmly, "You are joking, Da Dui Lu. I am just a nobody. It would be easy for Da Dui Lu to kill me. But have you ever thought about the situation you are facing now?"

"Of course I know that very well."

Quan Gaisuwen's face was calm, "Qiqi Zhongxiang sent you here as a lobbyist, want Beifuyu City?"

Lan Gu smiled and shook his head. "This time when I came to Ancient Mountain City, I saw a lot of scenery and also witnessed a lot of situations."

"Originally we wanted Beifuyu City, but things are different now."

"What's the difference?"

"We want everything north of the Yalu River!"

"...?"

Quan Gaisuwen leaned forward and stared at Lan Gu coldly, "Say it again." Lan Gu smiled, "I said, north of the Yalu River, our Sumo tribe wants it!"

Bang!
Quan Gaisuwen slammed the table and stood up, "Qiqi Zhongxiang has such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"

Lan Gu smiled calmly, "Why is Dad so angry with Lu?"

"As far as I know, now everything north of the Yalu River has fallen into the hands of the Tang army. Tang General Zhishisili is currently leading an army of 50,000 soldiers to the city of Lin on the Yalu River."

"Even if Da Duilu is unwilling to give all the land north of the Yalu River to our Suomo tribe, these lands do not belong to Da Duilu or Goryeo, right?"

"But if Da Duilu agrees to give all the land north of Yalu River to our Suomo tribe, our leader will gather all the warriors of Suomo tribe and take it back from the hands of the Tang Dynasty."

"In this way, Da Dui Lu's situation should be better."

"This matter has only benefits and no disadvantages for Da Dui Lu. Why doesn't Da Dui Lu consider it?"

Quan Gaisuwen sneered, "The Sumo tribe is taking advantage of the situation!"

"Even if I agree, the king will not agree, and..."

Lan Gu smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Quan Gaisuwen, "Prince Rongliu is now a prisoner, how can he care about Da Duilu? Besides, even if Prince Rongliu is still here, isn't Da Duilu the one who has the final say on matters in Goryeo?"

"As long as Da Dui Lu agrees to this, my Su Mo tribe is not only willing to send troops to help Da Dui Lu regain the many lands north of Yalu River, but also willing to help Da Dui Lu repel the Tang army and help Da Dui Lu ascend the throne!"

"From now on, the Sumo tribe and Goryeo will rule along the river. Isn't that wonderful?"

Quan Gaisu Wen stared at Lan Gu intently, wishing he could skin him alive and chop him into pieces!
original.

He thought it was too much when Qiqi Zhongxiang asked for Beifuyu City and Duofayue. Unexpectedly, after Lan Gu came, he directly asked for the land north of Yalu River.

I wonder if his appetite is several times bigger than Qiqi Zhongxiang's!
However, he had fought with the Sumo tribe many times and was very clear about its strength.

If Qiqi Zhongxiang really gathered the troops of the Sumo tribe and went south to confront the Tang army, Zhishisili would certainly not be able to sit still.

Lan Gu continued, "I heard that the Tang army's firearms are incredibly powerful and can kill people from hundreds of steps away."

"But, Lord Dui Lu, have you ever thought that the people of my Sumo tribe are all good fighters, and their horsemanship is the best in the world. A few hundred steps is a fatal distance for infantry, but for my Sumo cavalry, it is just a matter of a few breaths..."

Quan Gaisuwen sneered, "How did the Turks not have it? Do you know?"

Lan Gu: "Haha, isn't Lu Mo trying to use this to warn me not to underestimate the Tang army's firearms?"

"But has it ever occurred to you, Master Lu, that the reason why the Turks were defeated by Su Chen was because they had never seen the firearms of the Tang army and did not know the advantages and disadvantages of their firearms?"

Quan Gaisuwen frowned and said, "So, you have already researched the weaknesses of the Tang army's firearms?"

Lan Gu was full of confidence: "I can't guarantee this, but I can conclude that if we are on the plains, the Tang army's firearms will not have much advantage over our Su Mo tribe!"

"If the timing is right, it won't be difficult to wipe out all the Tang army's musket soldiers!"

Duo duo duo.

Quan Gaisuwen tapped the table with a troubled look on his face, his eyes filled with a hint of sarcasm.

On the plains, can the cavalry of the Suomote tribe defeat the firearms of the Tang army?

What are you kidding!
I’m afraid you have never encountered the endless supply of musketeers of the Tang army!
Hundreds of bullets in a breath, what kind of cavalry can withstand it?
When the time is right, lead the army to charge?

I'm afraid that before I can even reach the enemy's formation, I'll be shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy!

However, seeing Lan Gu so confident, Quan Gaisu Wen just sneered in his heart and did not break his fantasy.

However, handing over the land north of Yalu River in exchange for the full support of the Sumo tribe...

"What do the Baishan and Bodu tribes say?"

"Do you think that my Sumo tribe alone cannot defeat Zhishishili's army?"

Quan Gaisuwen smiled and didn't say much.

Lan Gu sneered, "Whether Da Duilu believes it or not, our Sumo tribe is enough to defeat Zhishishili's army, but our Sumo tribe will not divide the land north of the Yalu River with the Baishan tribe and the Boduo tribe!"

"The Bodu tribe may have the idea of ​​getting their hands on the land north of the Yalu River, but it's just an idea. The Bodu tribe's strength is simply not comparable to that of our Sumo tribe."

"As for the Baishan tribe, Da Duilu should know that the Baishan tribe is east of my Sumo tribe and borders your Goryeo's Sancengling Xing'an and other places. Most of the land they want is in your Zhacheng Donglin area. How could they cross my Sumo tribe to ask for the land north of Yalu?"

"If Da Duilu wants the Baishan tribe to send troops to assist, our Sumo tribe can act as a bridge. Of course, Da Duilu only needs to hand over the land around the East Forest of Zhacheng to the Baishan tribe."

Quan Gaisuwen sneered. He didn't even want to hand over the land north of the Yalu River, let alone his own rear base?
If the land around Lianzhacheng is handed over, I am afraid that the Baishan tribe will most likely join forces with the Tang army and destroy him first!

After a moment's silence, Quan Gaisuwen said slowly, "How many troops will the Sumo tribe send south to Beifuyu City?"

Lan Gu's mouth curled up slightly, and he knew that Quan Gaisu Wen could not resist the temptation of becoming king!

"If Da Duilu agrees, our Sumo tribe will dispatch 50,000 cavalrymen and march south all the way to Beifuyu City. As long as Beifuyu City is captured, Duofayue will be in a difficult situation, and Zhishishili will be unable to continue to advance eastward."

"Then you and I can join forces to capture all of Zhishili's troops in the Yalu River area!"

"Whether Da Duilu continues his westward expedition to retake Liaodong and other places, or goes all the way south to capture the so-called Bijian King alive, or declares himself king, my Sumo tribe will fully support him!"

Quan Gaisuwen closed his eyes and thought, quickly sketching out the movements of the army in Goryeo in his mind.

Once the Silla-Baekje coalition in the south is formed, it will definitely be able to stop Liu Rengui and others, and may even contain Su Chen!

On the northern front, he joined forces with the Suomote tribe, and the two sides could gather 100,000 troops to fight against Zhishishili.

"it is good!"

Quan Gaisuwen suddenly opened his eyes, "I can give all the land north of Yalu River to you, Sumo Tribe, but you must gather 80,000 troops!"

"Eighty thousand troops?"

Lan Gu frowned and shook his head. "It is already extremely rare for my Sumo tribe to gather 50,000 elite cavalry. It is impossible to gather an army of 80,000."

Fifty thousand elite cavalrymen are almost the entire army of the Suomote. If an army of 80,000 is mobilized, wouldn’t all the young generation of the Suomote have to be dragged into the battlefield?
It would be fine if they won, but if they lost, how would the Sumo tribe survive?

"Only 50,000 troops!"

Lan Gu said solemnly, "The 50,000 troops of my Sumo tribe, plus the 50,000 troops of Da Duilu, will form an army of 100,000, which is enough to drive Zhishishili out of Goryeo!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"fifty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"fifty thousand!"

Lan Gu said in a deep voice: "Master, think it over carefully. Even if we don't join forces with you, when Zhishishili's army advances all the way east to Gushan City, we can completely take Beifuyu City by ourselves!"

Quan Gaisuwen sighed, "In that case, please tell Qiqi Zhongxiang to gather 50,000 soldiers and march south to Beifuyu City."

"it is good!"

Lan Gu grinned, "This will definitely be the most correct decision you have ever made in your life!"

"hope so."

Quan Gaisuwen smiled and said, "Come here, please ask Mr. Lan Gu to go and have a rest and come to the banquet later."

"please."

"Thank you."

Lan Gu retreated with a smile.

After watching Lan Gu leave, Quan Gaisuwen couldn't help but sneer.

If you want to take advantage of the situation, it depends on whether you, the Sumo tribe, have the confidence to do so!

Fifty thousand elite cavalry!

Let you try the Tang army’s firearms!

I hope that by then, you won’t cry and quit!
