The Goguryeo warrior had a cold face and a hard tongue. He couldn't pronounce words clearly and said, "What does this have to do with us? More than twenty of us sneaked into Huating Town from Goguryeo, and now only these three or five are left. If it weren't for us, we wouldn't be able to do our best." Try your best, it's really like a mantis stalking a cicada, and the house bird is behind... It's not a crime of war. The Tang Dynasty navy is powerful, and all the top and bottom are equipped with firearms. Once the secrets are revealed, the navy soldiers will swarm in and die without a place to bury them! "
Don't look at the fact that everyone in Goguryeo is clamoring now, saying that if the Tang Dynasty dares to attack, they will never come back. They also threaten to capture His Majesty Li Er and exchange for several princesses to be used as concubines for the generals...
How strong the words are, how much the heart needs them.
Dozens of millions of elite troops are stationed at the border, sharpening their swords and preparing their troops at all times. The whole of Goguryeo has been in turmoil for a long time. It is said that the dignitaries in Pyongyang even sleep with one eye open, fearing that the Tang Dynasty navy will directly follow the river. , when he woke up, he came to the city with troops and became a slave to the subjugation of the country...
Especially for the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, which traveled across the ocean, it could directly land at any place to cut off the food routes of the Goguryeo army, and it could also continuously supply the Tang army with supplies, which made the Goguryeo army quite fearful.
…
The whole country of Goguryeo was on guard against the Tang Dynasty, which started more than ten years ago.
In the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turkic leader Li Khan, and King Rongliu of Goguryeo sent envoys to congratulate him and submit a map of the territory. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er ordered to send Sun Shi, Sima Chang of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, to collect the bones of generals who died during the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Sui Yang and destroy the Jingguan built by Goguryeo.
King Rongliu was deeply afraid that the Tang Dynasty would once again continue the Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition strategy, and hoped to devote all the efforts of the country to building a Great Wall that was more than a thousand miles long, running through the north and south, and blocking the Tang army from the Great Wall.
However, can the Great Wall be repaired if it is desired?
Goguryeo was a small country with few people. Even if the whole country recruited civilians and ate rice bran, they could not build a thousand-mile Great Wall. Therefore, this great idea could only exist in the documents of King Yeongliu. More than a thousand years later, the stickmen who regarded the Goguryeo people as their ancestors discovered this clue from the pile of old papers and were suddenly excited!
This is evidence that the great Goguryeo was once invincible!
Did you see it? The Han people can build the Great Wall, and so can we Goguryeo. Maybe the Great Wall built by the Han people has been passed down for a long time, and it is said to have come from Goguryeo. All the Great Walls owned by the Han family were actually built by the Goguryeo people...
It's just a pity that after several visits to the mountains and rivers of Liaodong and the peninsula, there is no trace of the so-called "Goguryeo Great Wall", not even a brick or a tile.
This is very embarrassing. Generally speaking, certain buildings that have existed in history will collapse and be damaged due to the erosion of time and changes in the earth's crust, thus being annihilated in the invincible years. However, no matter how they collapse or erode, they will never be destroyed. You can't even find a brick or a tile, right?
Facts have proved that the so-called "Great Wall of Goguryeo" definitely does not exist.
But the Goguryeo people were smart and could not build a real Great Wall, so what could they use to resist the invincible army of the Tang Dynasty?
Someone came up with a way to build mountain fortresses along the mountains in central Liaodong, and then built these mountain fortresses into a line...
After sixteen years, the "Great Wall" was finally built. Yuan Gaisuwen led the entire country's troops to defend these mountain fortresses to resist the conquests of the Tang Dynasty.
…
Chen Bing's hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong were like a sharp sword hanging over Goguryeo's head. It could fall at any time, and it would definitely fall. Therefore, Goguryeo always spoke harshly when facing the Tang Dynasty, but was really afraid in his heart. of a horse...
Changsun Langjun's face was hidden under the bamboo hat, his expression was not visible, but his tone was quite disdainful: "In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will ensure that nothing happens to you."
The Goguryeo warrior obviously didn't believe it, and muttered: "Why are you bragging? You have become a lost dog yourself, and you can still save me? I only hope that you can still be so calm and composed when you meet Fang Er."
Changsun Langjun fell silent.
There seemed to be a sudden chill in the air...
The Goguryeo warrior swallowed his saliva. He knew in his heart that the eldest grandson Langjun was very valued by Da Molizhi. If he offended him and pushed the responsibility for the failure of this operation onto his own mountain, he would be furious when he returned to Goguryeo. Da Moli lit the sky lantern...
"All you have to do is obey the orders of Mr. Changsun. Whatever you say, I will do it!"
Under the power, the Goguryeo warriors decisively gave in.
Changsun Langjun remained silent and stood motionless in front of the window. He seemed to be still angry. After a long while, he said coldly: "Disrespecting the general's orders is really a taboo in the army. Now you and I They are disloyal and have many doubts about my orders. If they continue to act, they may be overthrown. In this case, it is better to return to Goguryeo as soon as possible."
The Goguryeo warrior was shocked and said quickly: "Sir, please calm down. It's not my fault. I will apologize to you..."
"I can't bear it! The general belongs to the Goguryeo royal family, has a high position, and is deeply trusted by Da Molizhi. How dare I be your apology? If you really want to apologize, please ask the general to go to Da Molizhi after returning to Goguryeo. Apologize. In the final analysis, I am just an outsider. Whether I can obtain the Sky-shattering Thunder or whether I can alienate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from trusting Fang Jun and Su Dingfang, what does it have to do with me?"
After saying this, Changsun Langjun reached out and grabbed the coir raincoat that was placed on the table beside him, put it on him calmly, turned around and went downstairs.
The Goguryeo warrior's face was livid, but he dared not speak out in anger. He could only stamp his feet fiercely, followed Changsun Langjun downstairs, walked out of the door, and walked into the rain.
*****
Huating Town.
The smashed warehouse on the dock has been cleaned up, and the mutilated corpses of the soldiers who were killed in the explosion have been collected from the ruins. However, the power of the thunder is huge, and many more exploded together, and the corpses of the soldiers were all gone. Already dilapidated and unrecognizable.
The navy has its own system. Although these soldiers were not killed on the battlefield, they were killed by thieves while guarding ordnance and supplies, which was equivalent to sacrificing their lives for the country. Therefore, their bodies were collected and buried on the west side of Wusongkou on a different day. On top of the hill, there is a cemetery for fallen soldiers of the Navy.
Since its establishment, the Royal Navy has been fighting foreign wars and has never targeted the country. Even though most of the pirates it destroyed were Han Chinese, because they had already turned into bandits, they were not considered citizens of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the cemetery There is a huge stone tablet standing on the hillside with the four characters "Serve the country with loyalty", which makes the Navy's reputation widely supported among the people.
Pei Xingjian has been busy at the town office until now. Seeing that the sky has turned dark and the candles are lit on the desk, he puts down the brush in his hand, gets up and goes to the window, stretching while looking at the patter of rain outside the window.
A wave of fatigue came over me, my stomach felt empty, and there was a thunderous sound...
It happened that Su Dingfang and Shangguan Yi walked in from outside. Pei Xingjian hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and then ordered the clerk to prepare a table of wine and food. The three of them enjoyed dinner in the guest room.
Between pushing cups and changing cups, the three of them were in a particularly comfortable mood.
This sudden change made the situation suddenly tense. If it could not be handled smoothly, its subsequent influence would be too great. Not only Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang would not be able to escape the blame, but even Fang Jun, who was still in Guanzhong, would be implicated.
This is basically a conspiracy against Fang Jun...
Fortunately, Zhang Mingpu was careful enough to leave a flaw in Wang Jingxun, which was tightly grasped by Pei Xingjian, and the situation was broken.
It's not a break. After all, the lost Sky Thunder has not yet been found. Fang Jun still has to bear a certain responsibility, but it is insignificant compared to the previous dangerous situation.
Pei Xingjian toasted Su Dingfang and said with a smile: "Zhang Mingpu has done a good job. The situation has lost its sense of urgency and Chang'an can move around without having to make His Majesty face the mastermind behind the matter. Otherwise, even if the case is His Majesty will not be happy if it is completely revealed. Now it is very different. Although the final culprit cannot be traced in this case, it is what His Majesty wants to see. Moreover, Erlang was punished for this. His Majesty will inevitably feel a debt of gratitude. Sometimes being aggressive may not be enough. If you succeed, you may not suffer a loss even if you are honest and foolish.”
Su Dingfang drank a glass of wine, sighed slightly, and said: "In the past, a certain person was in the army. He was strong and upright. He did not rub sand in his eyes. He only knew how to go into battle to kill the enemy and be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. However, he was never reused and his ambition could not be extended. It was not until I reached my age that I understood some principles of life. I was recommended by Erlang and trusted by His Majesty, and my official career was prosperous. However, I also lost some of my once-persistent beliefs. I don’t know whether it was good or bad. I often lamented and was confused. …”
The ideal is noble, but the reality is too cruel.
Some people stick to their beliefs and persevere, even if they are born at the wrong time, but their fate is wasted, they can leave a lasting reputation; some people have to live with the world due to the circumstances of the world, but they can let go of their hands and feet and do something great, but they also lose their The most precious persistence.
Which one is better or worse?
Who is right and who is wrong?
No one can tell the difference.
Shangguan Yi on the side was silent for a moment and said softly: "We are born as human beings, and we only need to be worthy of heaven and earth. When the coffin is sealed a hundred years later, if we can leave even a scratch in the history of history, this life will be worthy of it." "
