Will Ming

(for collection)

It has been a full month since Daye Emperor Yang Guang left the camp outside Liaodong City. The Sui army attacked Liaodong City twice. Bai Qi personally led his generals to stand on the city wall and shouted to the outside, expressing his willingness to surrender and submit to the Sui Dynasty.But I asked the Sui army to go down from the city wall for the time being, and after the Koryo soldiers and civilians cleared the city gate, they would welcome Wang Shi into the city.

For the first time, after Ulji Munqing raised the white flag, Yu Wenshu ordered the city wall to be controlled before surrendering. The supervisor Liu Shilong firmly opposed it. He said that the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty were the teachers of benevolence and righteousness. How could they do such an inhumane thing? thing?Besides, His Majesty left a decree before leaving and specifically explained that if the Koryo army surrendered, they would stop attacking and treat them with courtesy.Although Yu Wenshu bears the name of a marching chief, the real power is in the hands of the supervising army Liu Shilong.He said that no more attacks are allowed, and even Yu Wenshu can't act automatically.

According to Liu Shilong's original intention, he was going to personally enter the city to accept Ulchi Wenqing's surrender.It's a pity that after waiting for two days, they sent people to shout outside the city. The Koreans who had repaired the city wall and rearranged the defenses shot the official of the Sui Dynasty who was shouting with an arrow.Liu Shilong was speechless, and returned to his big tent in desperation to burn the written application form to ashes.

Yu Wenshu looked at Liu Shilong's back and sneered, and ordered the army to continue attacking the city.The thousands of human lives that have been sacrificed are flowing into the distance like Liaoshui, and all the efforts have flowed eastward and vanished.The Koryo army had already repaired and replenished the barriers on the city wall and the destroyed defensive equipment. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty had lost so much blood and died so many people, but they could only start from scratch.After more than ten days, with more than [-] casualties, the Sui army finally attacked the city again.

The second time, the Sui army attacked the city wall again, but the Koryo army could not resist, and Eulji Mundeok once again raised the white flag to surrender.Yuwen was not sure, and ordered the soldiers to continue to attack.Shangshu Youcheng and Liu Shilong, the supervisor of the army, stood up again.Please issue Yang Guang's imperial decree and tell Yuwen that if he dares to attack again, he will report all the generals' crimes of deliberately resisting the decree to His Majesty.

The generals had no choice but to stop attacking.

Liu Shilong once again sent civil servants to Liaodong City to accept the surrender. This time Ulji Wenqing repented even faster. He only raised the white flag a few hours ago. The arrow technique was really not good, the arrow flew out, brushing the face of the official of the Sui Dynasty, and the civil official turned around and ran back in fright.

Being cheated twice, this time Liu Shilong was not in a hurry to write a letter of merit, and he didn't wait for the generals to complain, he took the lead in launching the attack, criticizing a lot of generals who were not good at fighting, which caused the siege to be frustrated.When the Koreans surrendered, they were timid and delayed the best time to accept the surrender, so that Ulchi Wenqing regretted it.

These words angered all the generals, Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard, slammed the door, and Yu Zhongwen, the general of the right guard, sneered and looked at Yu Wenshu without saying a word.

Yu Wenshu stared coldly at Liu Shilong with a cold face and also remained silent.

After tossing around like a clown, Liu Shilong went back to his tent angrily.

The next day, Yu Wenshu ordered another battle.

Tens of thousands of troops attacked the city on all sides. Yu Wenshu mobilized crossbow carts to aim at the city gate and smashed the thick gate of the south gate of Liaodong City. It took two days to move out the gravel and bags filled with soil that blocked the city gate, and lost thousands of civilians. When the city gate was about to be hollowed out, Ulji Wenqing surrendered for the third time.

Just when the generals thought that Liu Shilong would no longer have the face to jump out to stop the siege, the latter stopped in front of the siege army again with fearless courage.

"When Your Majesty was leaving, did you forget what you said?"

Liu Shilong stood in front of the army with a righteous face, glared at Yu Wenshu and the others and said, "You guys forgot, but I haven't!"

"In the future, all military advances and stops must be heard and reported, and they must not be exclusive. If Koryo surrenders, it may be appropriate to caress-Aina, and not to send troops!"

Because of excitement, Liu Shilong blushed.He lifted his robe, walked a few steps forward and shouted to Yu Wenshu and others at a close distance: "Your Majesty has only been away for less than two months, and you have violated the order and disrespected one after another. I don't want to care about the difficulty of the army attacking the city. So I didn't submit a letter to ask for an order to punish you for the crime of arbitrariness, but I didn't expect you to become more and more daring. Could it be that you really want to resist the order and disrespect?"

General Jing Yuanheng of Zuo Xiaowei said angrily: "The Koreans feigned surrender twice, couldn't you see it? Tens of thousands of soldiers died in vain, couldn't you see it? If you hadn't blocked it, Liaodong City would have already been conquered Already!"

Liu Shilong snorted coldly and asked: "If Koryo surrenders, it will be Yifu-Aina, and no troops will be allowed! This is His Majesty's decree, General Jing, are you questioning me or Your Majesty? Eulji Wenqing It is true that he surrendered twice, which just shows that he has the heart of surrender! I, Da Sui, is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and I came to relieve the suffering of the people in Liaodong. Since Ulji Wenqing has the heart of surrender, why did he want to use weapons rashly? ?In ancient times, there was a soldier from Kong Ming who captured Meng Huo seven times and captured the barbarians seven times in the southern border. This is an act of benevolence and righteousness. It is in vain that you are still a general who is familiar with military books. Do you understand that attacking the heart is the most important thing? Besides, your majesty is A gentleman of benevolence, righteousness, and sageness is not as good as a Nanyang thatched cottage?"

Jing Yuan trembled persistently, but couldn't find words to refute.

Yu Wenshu held back his anger and asked, "According to your opinion, is it surrendered again?"

Liu Shilong retorted: "Why is this what I mean? This is clearly His Majesty's will!"

Yu Wenshu was so angry that he laughed instead, cupped his hands and said a word: "Please!"

After all, turn around and leave.

Liu Shilong couldn't help being a little proud when he saw that he had stopped the wrong actions of these warriors again.He stood there vigorously, and then glanced at the generals who had gone away, sneered and mocked: "A group of reckless people who only know how to use knives and guns!"

Ever since, Liu Shilong began to send people to Liaodong City to accept the surrender for the third time.The officials of the Sui Dynasty entered the city this time, and the Sui army almost cleared the things blocking the south gate.Ulchi Wenqing once again put on a look of trepidation this time, first he gave two trays full of gold to the recruiting officials, and then begged that the city was in a mess, if His Majesty came, wouldn't this decadent scene be wiped away? His Majesty's interest?I asked the officials of the Sui Dynasty to give me ten days to clean up and repair the city before entering the city to accept surrender.

The official of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to agree to him because of the previous two examples.Ulchi Wenqing begged bitterly, but the official did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he went out of the city to ask Liu Shilong for instructions on how to make a decision. Liu Shilong pretended to be smart and said to the official: "Ten days are too long, and Ulchi Wenqing is capricious, so we can't give him time! ...Let him clean up and repair the city within five days, and I will personally enter the city to accept the surrender!"

The official then entered Liaodong City and told Yizhi Wenqing what Liu Shilong had said.Ulchi Wenqing looked grateful and said that he would clean up the city as soon as possible.The surrendered officials happily returned to the camp to report to Liu Shilong. Liu Shilong felt that Ulchi Wenqing should really plan to surrender this time.

It's just that on the fifth day before, Ulchi Wenqing sent people to cut down trees overnight to make a huge door panel, and blocked the south door again.Then ordered the Goryeo soldiers to transport the boulder, and blocked it tightly from the inside.

Knowing that he had been dismissed again, Liu Shilong simply stayed in his tent and was brought in with food, but he never went out for seven or eight days.

Yu Wenshu deliberately sent someone to urge Liu Shilong to enter the city to accept surrender.Liu Shilong didn't see him behind closed doors, so Yu Wenshu sent someone to ask Liu Shilong outside the tent, the Koreans have sealed the city gate, what should they do next?Liu Shilong said loudly in the tent righteously: "Military advance and stop is the right of General Yuwen. I am just a civil servant. Why do you need to ask me whether to attack the city? Go back and tell your general. If you miss the opportunity, The old man wants to read his book!"

Yu Wenshu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ordered the army to continue to attack the city.

From March to July, the Sui army attacked the walls of Liaodong City four times.When it was the fourth time, facing the Koreans who raised the white flag for the fourth time, Liu Shilong, who had grown some insight, no longer resolutely opposed the continued attack, but came up with a way that he thought was clever.

"Your Majesty said that the progress of the military needs to be reported. In my opinion... it is better to send someone to Haydn to ask for orders. Generals, what do you think?"

He is the supervisor of the army, and he said that he wants to ask for an order to make a decision. What else can others say?The power of supervising the army is still above Yu Wenshu, even though he knew that even if he ordered the siege of the city, His Majesty would not blame him, Yu Wenshu still followed Liu Shilong's suggestion.

Therefore, Liu Shilong sent people to Wanghaidun to ask for an order, whether to allow the Koryo people to surrender for the fourth time.

Half a month later, the messenger brought back Yang Guang's will: "Allow Ulchi Wenqing to surrender for the fourth time! If the Koreans repeat themselves again, there is no need to show mercy."

At this time, the Koreans in the city were ready to fight again.

His Majesty the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was the king of benevolence and righteousness. When benevolence and righteousness reached... under the city of Liaodong, tens of thousands of dead could not rest in peace.

Liu Shilong looked at His Majesty's will, and murmured: "This time, Ulji Wenqing should surrender. Is it possible that he can be shameless enough to repent for the fourth time?"
