Chapter 991
When the imperial court sent envoys to the Tang army camp to seek peace, the news had already spread throughout the capital. When the people in the capital learned about the news, they felt a little humiliated and expected.
I look forward to the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal. Since the Tang Dynasty was to save Silla, and now the imperial army has retreated from Silla, the Tang army should naturally retreat.
But no one expected that the news that the Tang Dynasty wanted to invade Liaodong and continued to advance!
Is this unreasonable?!
Too much bullying!
The crowd was infuriated.
The people in the capital were talking a lot and were extremely indignant at the Tang army's pressing step by step.
Indignantly, they also felt very dissatisfied.
Although the Tang army captured Liaodong, it was a powerful siege weapon like artillery and was about to fight in the wild. How strong is the Tang army's combat effectiveness?
They also had the 200,000 troops that went to Silla. They did not have the sharp weapon of siege like cannons, and they would be invincible in the battle. Yuan Gaisuwen was a general with both civil and military power. When the army returned, they would definitely be able to defeat the Tang army.
The army marched in a row. Although the army retreated from Silla and returned in vain, they were full of morale because they had never been defeated since they attacked Silla.
Even though they knew that the Tang army had captured Liaodong, even if they were tired of marching, they were still full of morale.
"Master, we are still fifty miles away from the capital. We will arrive at the capital tomorrow!" The general next to him said happily.
"I don't know where the Tang army is fighting now!"
"Yes, yes, I really want to fight a war with the Tang army earlier, defeat the Tang army earlier, and take back Liaodong earlier, so that the people can suffer less!"
Yuan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the hero who swept the world, and his literary and military skills are extraordinary. Li Jing, Li Jing and others are even more famous generals. Although they are old, they should not be underestimated! Although the cannons are so radiant that the Tang army is defeated, the Tang army's combat power should not be weak!"
The general next to him smiled and said, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was indeed the heroic ruler who fought in the world back then, but he had a lot of vigor and strength for many years? Those generals of the Tang Dynasty were already old? How many bravery can they be left? Otherwise, they wouldn't rely on artillery."
"That's right, even if the generals of the Tang Dynasty are still a little brave, so what? The general is both civil and military, and has a strategic plan. With the general, we will definitely be invincible and defeat the Tang army!"
Yuan Gaisuwen said in a deep voice: "I may not be able to lead the troops when I fight against the Tang Dynasty this time!"
The generals were all stunned after hearing this: "If the general does not lead the troops, then who is still qualified to lead the troops?"
"That's right, the general is planning and winning a thousand miles away. Why don't he let the general lead the troops?"
"Who else is the one who is qualified to lead the troops except the commander?"
"Only we can accept this except the Grandmaster!"
"Master, why is this?"
Yuan Gai Suwen sighed and said, "It's just that I misunderstood a traitor. When I was a deputy envoy to the Tang Dynasty, I met Su Cheng and was attracted by Su Cheng as a close friend. At that time, I only thought that Su Cheng was a open-minded person and was a friend. Who would have thought that this person was insidious and cunning. I was deceived by him. I thought this was a great opportunity, so I tried my best to persuade the king to attack Silla, but I didn't expect that he would fall into the plan of the monarch and ministers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang monarchs and ministers encouraged me to attack Silla because they wanted to plot against Liaodong. This is all my fault! Am I leading the army with my face?"
The generals were not surprised by this. On the one hand, Yoon Gaisuwen had revealed it before, and on the other hand, you can guess some of it.
"Why should the general be blamed? This is a trap set by the monarch and minister of the Tang Dynasty. They have been planning for a long time. Even if the general is not trapped, the Tang army will send troops! Therefore, the general does not blame himself, but is excited and leads the army to defeat the Tang army, so that he can prove his innocence and make another contribution!"
Yuan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice: "Don't say whether to make a contribution or not. Since I learned that I had fallen into Su Cheng's plan, the only thing I want is to defeat the Tang army and take revenge! What a pity, I'm afraid I don't have this opportunity!"
The general next to him said in confusion: "Master, why don't you have this opportunity?"
Yuan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that the king and the ministers in the court have already become suspicious of me. I suspect that I have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in private, so how could I let me lead the troops? But I am loyal to the king and Goguryeo, and I am absolutely unparalleled!"
The generals next to him said in unison: "The last general believes in the Grand Commander. The last general is the Grand Commander as the guarantee. The last general only obeys the Grand Commander to lead the troops!"
Yuan Gai Suwen said in a deep voice: "In theory, I should really avoid suspicion, but the Tang army is coming in full force. This battle is related to our life and death of Goguryeo. If I don't come to the battlefield in person, I will be really worried!"
The generals next to them also nodded and said, "Yes, no one in the world can match the general's army. Only when the general leads his troops can he be sure to win this battle!"
"Yes, Grand Marshal, the candidate for the leadership of the army must be Grand Marshal. When he returns to the capital, the last general will definitely submit a letter to ask for the Grand Marshal!"
Yuan Gaisuwen said in a deep voice: "Thank you, then I will report details to the king after returning to the capital, hoping that the king can distinguish right from wrong! Even if I am a general and go to the army to go on the battle, I will be satisfied."
"The general should be the head coach, how can he be the deputy general?" said a group of generals.
Yuan Gaisuwen raised his hand and said, "Maybe I am just worried about the truth. Yuan Gaisuwen is not greedy for merit and not for fame. I just hope to help all people get rid of the fire and water!"
The army was advancing all the way toward the capital, and news in the capital was spreading rapidly.
Everyone who heard the news was full of discussion, and the scouts of the army had already obtained the news.
"Report, report to the Grand Marshal, I heard some news..."
After hearing this, the generals immediately became energetic. They were eager to march along the way but they had no news. They didn't know what the war was going on now.
Yuan Gaisuwen was also very concerned and shouted: "What are you doing hesitantly? Why don't you tell me if you heard of any news?"
"Reported to the commander, the king sent envoys to the Tang army camp to seek peace. The Duke Rong of the Tang Dynasty proposed to let our dynasty ced Liaodong, so he retreated and turned into wars into jade and silk!"
As soon as the scout finished speaking, the generals were immediately infuriated.
Asking for peace? Or ceding Liaodong to seek peace?
shame!
This is simply a great humiliation!
As military generals, they feel even more ashamed!
"Arrogant!"
"It's outrageous!"
"It's really a lie!"
"I still want to invade Liaodong? When our 200,000 army does not exist?"
"Master, let's kill Liaodong now, kill the Tang army and turn it over, kill the Tang army and let them know how powerful our Goguryeo is!" The generals clamored.
Chapter completed!
