Chapter 998
Before Su Cheng could speak, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "How can you take risks with your majesty's body of a thousand gold? It's better to be cautious and be steadily!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted, "After the fight, I'll go back to Chang'an early, and I can still have the New Year's Eve dinner. Su Cheng, the young man is very angry. Don't you miss your little wife?" The others laughed when they heard this, but they thought to themselves, it's really possible whether Su Cheng wants Princess Changle or not, after all, there is a Princess Silla in the army.
Su Cheng suddenly felt that everyone looked at him with a strange look. Su Cheng just didn't know what everyone was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely scream for injustice because he and Princess Silla were innocent.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "In my opinion, let's stay in Wugu City!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, staying in Wugu City?
The army was in a state of unstoppable force and was about to break through the capital of Goguryeo in one go. How could it stop in Wugu City?
"Stay in Wugu City? Why do you want to stay in Wugu City? The army is in full swing and is about to capture Pyongyang City in one go!" Li Shimin said in confusion.
Since ascending the throne, his lifelong dream is to conquer Liaodong and even destroy Goguryeo. Now he has finally seen the hope of realizing his dream. How could he bear to stop in Wugu City?
Even Changsun Wuji was unwilling to stay in Wugu City. Although he opposed the urgent advancement, he still had to fight. After all, capturing Pyongyang City was definitely worthy of a great victory in history books.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Su Cheng smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, according to the news I received, the troops who attacked Silla in Goguryeo have returned to the capital. Gao Jianwu has drawn some elite troops, a total of 250,000 troops, and is known as a 500,000 army, and has already come in a mighty battle!"
Everyone was not surprised by this, after all, everyone had long known that Goguryeo's troops were withdrawn from Silla.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "The marching speed of Goguryeo's soldiers was really dissatisfied. They retreated so quickly! 250,000 soldiers, except for the troops that need to be stationed in various places, this should be the largest force that Gao Jianwu can gather!"
Changsun Wuji pondered and said, "Twenty-hundred thousand soldiers! Gao Jianwu is going to gather all his troops to fight to the death with us! Your Majesty, the combat power of the Goguryeo people should not be underestimated!"
"We cannot underestimate the combat power of the Goguryeo people just because they attacked the city and pulled the village. After all, artillery has limited use in field battles. Therefore, I think Su Cheng is right. The army will stay in Wugu City for the time being to rest and wait for work!"
When they heard that Gao Jianwu had assembled 250,000 troops, they claimed to be a 500,000 army, although everyone was not afraid, they became much more serious.
The twenty-five major armies are far better than them in terms of strength.
Li Ji pondered: "What Su Cheng said makes sense. Since the Goguryeo army has set out to advance, we don't have to rush to attack the city and capture the village."
Li Jing also nodded and said, "You may encounter Goguryeo's army at any time when you continue to advance. We are not as familiar with the terrain as the Goguryeo people, and it is better to stay in Wugu City to rest."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Just as I thought, the army will be stationed in Wugu City for the time being. Many scouts will be sent to investigate the traces of the Goguryeo army. I want to fight a good battle with Goguryeo!"
The generals couldn't help but feel excited when they heard this. If they defeated this army, Goguryeo would be powerless and have no morale to fight again.
Li Shimin looked at Su Cheng and asked, "Do you know who the commander of the Goguryeo army is? Did your plan work?"
Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Of course it worked, it worked a big role!"
"Oh? So, it's not Yuan Gai Suwen's army? Who is it?" Li Shimin asked curiously, actually he was still a little regretful.
Because Su Cheng has always been quite afraid of Yeon Gaisuwen, it can be seen that Su Cheng highly recognizes Yeon Gaisuwen's ability to lead troops.
Therefore, Li Shimin really wanted to defeat Yuan Gai Suwen on the battlefield. It was nothing else. He just wanted to show off in front of Su Cheng and be very proud of his future in front of Su Cheng.
Unfortunately, now he is bragging, after all, Su Cheng's youth has never experienced his glorious years.
From now on, he can pat Su Cheng on the shoulder and blow it. You kid still thought that Gai Suwen was a character, but in the end, wasn’t you beaten like a dog on the battlefield?
What a pity! Gao Jianwu, that idiot, was actually fooled.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "The coach is Gao Yanshou, and the coach is Gao Huizhen!"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard this and asked, "Who do you think the head coach is?"
Not only Li Shimin was stunned, but everyone else was stunned. They just pricked up their ears and guessed in their hearts the candidate for the troops.
But I never thought that Gao Yanshou would be the candidate to lead the army!
Gao Yanshou? It was just that Gao Yanshou lost in Liaodong in a few days? Could it be that it was a duplicate name?
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It is the northern saga Gao Yanshou, and the deputy commander is the southern saga Gao Huizhen!"
A person's name may be heavy, but an official name cannot be heavy.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Even if Gao Jianwu personally led his troops to fight, they would not be so surprised.
Is it really no one available to Goguryeo, and he still let Gao Yanshou lead his troops?
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said, "What did Gao Jianwu think? Do you think that Gao Yanshou has lost Liaodong, not only is he innocent but also has merits?"
Yuchi Gong shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!"
Not only Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin can't figure it out, but everyone can't figure it out why the King of Goguryeo insisted on choosing a defeated general as the head coach?
Su Cheng explained: "The Gao Yanshou family is a prominent family in Goguryeo. It is deeply rooted and has a wide range of connections. It is too smooth for us to attack the city and capture the village. It is not that he is not good at defending the city. He also vigorously advocated that he knows us best and that if we fight in the field, he will definitely win."
Everyone couldn't help but be happy after hearing this. Maybe Gao Jianwu didn't know what kind of virtue Gao Yanshou was, but they all knew it.
When guarding Liaodong City, Gao Yanshou was so scared that he hid in the Viagra Mansion and didn't even dare to go to the city. Moreover, before the city was broken, Gao Yanshou was about to escape.
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "Gao Yanshou, it's really a good thing that didn't capture him!"
Changsun Wuji said respectfully: "Gao Jianwu actually used Gao Yanshou as the head coach. Your Majesty, this is God's destruction of Goguryeo!"
Li Shimin was very happy to hear this. He raised an army to fight eastward, and the sky was about to destroy Goguryeo. Why?
Of course it is because he is the true emperor!
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed God who wants to destroy Goguryeo, Su Cheng, your small counter-espionage plan has actually played such a big role!"
Su Cheng smiled modestly and said, "Just just said casually, it was all Gao Jianwu who caused his own destruction!"
