Chapter 31: The Return of Liaodong
There is a reason why Luo Shixin thinks this way.
In the past, Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo. Throughout history, only Yang Guang invested millions of troops at one time to conquer cities and territory. Except for the general Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang, the remaining ones were infantrymen, which were about 700,000 to 800,000…
The army of 700,000 to 800,000, to put it bluntly, can cause a considerable flood to destroy Liaodong: but under Yang Guang's god-like command level, Liaodong City was not defeated. It was not that the Sui soldiers were incompetent, but that Yang Guang was too stupid and idiot to a certain level.
Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was recognized as a promising king, but no one was perfect. He had many minor problems. He was too easy to get the world, and there has been no founding emperor in the Sui Dynasty. In ancient times, he had achieved such a slight effort as Yang Jian. This was too easy to get, and he was afraid of losing it because of this. Therefore, whenever a large army went to war, he would arrange his son as the commander of the three armies, but the commander of the three armies was just a name and did not care about the affairs. All military affairs were handled by designated marshals. The task of the commander was mainly to supervise to prevent the general from gaining military power and gaining self-respecting troops.
When Yang Guang was the King of Jin, he served as the Minister of the Xingtai Shangdai, and the real commander of the army was the Marshal Gao Yang.
Yang Guang was very proud of himself and always felt that he could do everything and had nothing to do. He was extremely depressed when he was a puppet marshal. This time he had this opportunity. Of course, Director Zhan directly commanded the command of 1.13 million troops of 24 armies. He also emphasized that the twenty-four generals who commanded the army would not be allowed to act rashly without his orders. He ordered the generals of all armies to report to him in every detail, and even if they encountered an enemy, they could not go to war. Only with his permission could he attack.
When Liu Bang talked with Han Xin, Han Xin said that Liu Bang was good at generals and could not command soldiers, and he could lead up to 10,000 soldiers at most. You should know that although Liu Bang was a ruffian, his rise was undoubtedly a counterattack. He went from being a pavilion leader, climbing on the battlefield and experiencing countless storms. However, Yang Guang was only a nominee commander several times and lacked the experience of commanding troops, but he had to command an army of 1.13 million in one breath. The result is conceivable.
Under Yang Guang's command, the Goguryeo army had no power to resist in the face of the crushing force and was directly forced into the Liaodong city.
The brave Sui soldiers naturally gained the advantage under the suppression of the number of people. The Goguryeo soldiers stubbornly resisted the powerful enemy that was nearly twenty times more powerful than them for a long time, but in the end they could not support them and planned to surrender. Because before the war, Yang Guang issued a special order that said, "If Goguryeo surrenders, it is advisable to accept them and do not allow troops to be escorted."
The Sui general did not dare to fight Yang Guang again in the face of Yang Guang's strict orders, so he told Yang Guang. Yang Guang was overjoyed and accepted Goguryeo's surrender.
How could I know that Goguryeo was fooling people? As soon as the Sui army retreated, they packed up their utensils and continued to stick to it.
The Sui general was full of anger and stepped on the bodies of his companions and launched a more fierce offensive. Of course, Goguryeo could not resist it. He agreed to surrender again.
The Sui general was not right to fight against Yang Guang's orders, nor did hesitate for a long time and finally let Yang Guang decide.
Yang Guang still agreed. Of course, this time it was still a fool.
The third time...
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were really angry, and they made Goguryeo play as a fool twice. Even the clay Bodhisattva could not bear it. The third offensive was even more fierce than the previous two times, and it made Goguryeo scream. Seeing that Goguryeo could not support it for three times. Yuan Binzhi's brother Yuanzi You shamelessly ceased to fight again, intending to surrender.
The general of the Sui Dynasty was angry and really thought I was a fool. He ignored Yang Guang's orders, ignored Goguryeo's surrender, and continued the bloody battle.
However, Yang Guang received news from the rear and forced the Sui soldiers and generals who were red-eyed and were forced to pull down the city tower.
The result was just like the previous time, Goguryeo was still fooling.
After this time, the Sui soldiers never had an attack that could threaten Liaodong City. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers had already made Yang Guang's ignorant face-saving skill and lost their will to fight. What kind of victory can a commander who ignores his own casualties fight?
Because of this, the Sui Dynasty's crushing advantage, compared with the power of stone hitting eggs, Yang Guang's command made the eggs crack the stone, and most of the million-strong army lost.
Now the experienced general of the Tang army has finally attacked the Liaodong city wall with the help of the power of the time, and is planning to use the same trick again?
His eyes turned, and Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Come here, invite me in the future." He said and whispered to Liu Rengui beside him.
When Liu Rengui heard this, he smiled knowingly and left the handsome tent.
"I am foolish and foreign ministers, bewitched by the Baekje Yamato Kingdom, and want to be enemies with the Celestial Kingdom. Our Lord Yuanbin's hundred persuasions were useless. Due to the king's order, he had to fight with the Celestial Kingdom. Now he has learned that the Celestial Kingdom is powerful and has been deeply afraid. My Goguryeo country has intended to hit stones with eggs, which is really a joke. In order to protect the safety of thousands of people in the city, our Lord is willing to surrender. I beg the Celestial Marshal to understand the innocent people and avoid unnecessary
After casualties, we exited the city, our Lord General carried the thorns outside the city to apologize for punishment." As he said that, he knelt deeply on the ground, raised something high with his hands and said: "My Lord Yuanbin has long admired the great general's reputation, his bravery and admired him for a long time. Before leaving, he repeatedly expressed his ability to be defeated by the general and lost it with great convincing loss. He learned that the general had excellent martial arts skills and liked swords and equipment, so he specially presented the collected magical weapons, Shenshui Dragon Bird to the general."
Goguryeo's coming to make every word and action particularly docile, just like a kitten. First, he took the safety of the people as the best of his righteousness, and then gave him magic weapons to move them with reason.
Luo Shixin's eyes lit up. He really liked to collect some weapons for collection when he was idle. He also specially built a sword-hidden room in his mansion to collect the weapons he collected. However, he was a little low-key in his interests and hobbies, and he did not make any big deals. He only made every purchase based on opportunities. This little hobby was actually known to them.
The sinking dragon bird, also known as the Great Xia dragon bird, was cast by Helian Bobo, the king of Xia Kingdom in the Sixteen Kingdoms period. According to legend, the Great Xia dragon bird is very cleverly made, with a large ring underneath, which is made of a dragon. Its head is particularly gorgeous in shape, and it unexpectedly fell into Yuan Binzhi's hands.
Luo Shixin smiled and said, "You are really mean, so I'm not polite."
He signaled his personal guards to take the sinking dragon bird, let the Goguryeo envoy take his seat, open the ancient weapon box, and a beautiful forged sword appeared in front of him. The sword was three feet and nine inches long. As the rumor was rumored, it was forged extremely finely and gorgeously with a dragon body as its handle and a head of a bird's mouth. The back was engraved with gorgeous seal characters "Ancient weapon, Wu Chu Zhanlu, Daxia Dragon Bird, and famous as the Guan Shendu."
"It's indeed a good knife!" Luo Shixin also has a lot of eyesight in this regard. The Daxia Dragon Bird is made of high-quality iron, and has been tempered and forged. When it comes to sharpness and hardness, it is probably not inferior to the Seven-Star Cross Sword in his hand. Its workmanship is also very exquisite, and it is better than the Seven-Star Cross Sword. However, when it comes to practicality, it is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty Cross Sword.
The horizontal sword combines the two advantages of the knife's chopping and the sword's stabbing. It is compatible with the ability to kill and break the armor. It is much more practical than ordinary swords. Although the Japanese sword imitated by the Japanese is called the four famous swords, it actually only learned the superficiality. Perhaps it is because their technology is backward and the soldiers' armor rate is not high. This simple thing is worse than chopping melons and vegetables. If it were a soldier wearing strong armor, it would be far less powerful than killing.
The Daxia Dragon Bird is indeed a good knife, but he loves the Seven-Star Cross-Sword.
However, it is also a happy thing to have an extra famous sword in the military room. I took the weapon and said with a smile: "If Yuan Binzhi is not dead, please bring me to say thank you."
When the Goguryeo envoy saw Luo Shixin receiving him so enthusiastically, he thought that the great thing had been done and felt very at ease. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but scream and said, "How can you explain this sir?"
"Ah!" Luo Shixin nodded and said, "When you walked into this military camp, I conveyed the news of my full attack on Liaodong. On this battlefield, who can care about his life or death? Of course, you really want to accompany him together. I don't mind doing you a favor. Just try whether this Daxia dragon bird is sharp enough."
The Goguryeo envoy's face was pale and said in a lost voice: "It is unethical to fight between the two countries and take advantage of the envoy's negotiations."
Luo Shixin stood up and said, "No matter what kind of intention you have, I never talk to the enemy any morality."
Just as Luo Shixin thought, Yuan Binzhi analyzed the battle situation and realized that the Tang army had already taken the initiative. If he continued to fight, he would only have one way to defeat. He simply used the same trick again and let the Tang army retreat on his own.
Yuan Binzhi did not expect Luo Shixin to be like Yang Guang, but as long as he cheated once, he could delay for several days.
While the two armies were suspending their military service, Yuan Binzhi secretly dispatched troops. Even if Luo Shixin was unwilling to accept their surrender because of the lessons, he still had the strength to fight to the death and regain Dongmen Wengcheng.
However, he did not expect that when he secretly dispatched troops, the Tang Dynasty had already assembled a cavalry.
The Tang army, who had been guarding the city tower, suddenly launched an attack, occupied the inner city tower like crazy, and opened the gate connecting the inner city gate.
Yuan Binzhi's reaction is not unpleasant, but he has to slow down after all...
They did mobilize their troops, but the mobilized troops were not rivals of the Tang cavalry.
Especially the five hundred cavalry that charged in the front was the Jiesheng army trained by Luo Shixin. Until now, he has not encountered a defeat.
Yuan Binzhi was powerless to turn the world back. This veteran who had lost weight in Liaodong for more than 40 years chose to commit suicide and fulfilled his closest brother's promise when he handed over Liaodong to him: to live and die with Liaodong!
Liaodong fell into turmoil with Yuan Binzhi's death!
Liaodong, which had occupied more than two hundred years for Goguryeo, finally returned to the embrace of the Central Plains and became China's territory again.
