Chapter 3372 A vicious plan
When he heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had been shot by a cold arrow, and his horse fell off his horse and fell to the ground, Yuan Gaisuwen's eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly: "Immediately spread the word, saying that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was shot by an arrow from the Second Young Master and was blinded. He was seriously injured and will not die soon!”
It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. At that time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty fell from his horse in the chaos of the army. Many people must have seen it with their own eyes, but the severity of his injuries may not be known to everyone.
As long as there is news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was seriously injured, it will definitely affect the morale of both sides.
Even though the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was unharmed and could appear in front of others later to dispel the rumors, the morale of the Tang army would not be low. However, the Goguryeo army in Pingrang City did not know the truth, so their morale would skyrocket and they would become more and more determined to defeat the Tang army.
That was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
The king of a kingdom in the Celestial Kingdom, who is rich and intimidating to the world, is actually blinded by an arrow from Yuan Nanjian. How proud is this to boost morale?
After receiving the order, the captain hurriedly went out to convene the civil servants and officials of the court and central government to discuss how to release the news with great fanfare...
Yeon Gaesumun was pacing in the hall, looking very excited.
After walking a few steps, he called the clerk outside the door and said, "Go and bring Changsun Chong immediately!"
"Here!"
The clerk turned around and left. Yuan Nanchan said curiously: "The traitor seduced my eldest brother and turned his back on his father. Even if it is not an exaggeration to be cut into pieces, why does my father still want to see him?"
Yuan Gaisu Wen said: "Writing grudges and grudges is the behavior of butchers and traders in the market. When you reach the position of a father, how can you care about your likes and dislikes? Although Changsun Chong is hateful, his identity is extremely important. He left a legacy for his father. He might still be useful, even if it's useless, sooner rather than later. What does it matter if God kills you a few days later? Remember, as a superior, you must not act rashly, but must consider all the pros and cons, as long as it is beneficial to you, even if it is Even if you are disgusted, you must also learn to restrain your mind and consider the overall situation.”
His three sons, the eldest son Yeon-san, betrayed him and Goguryeo. Even if he couldn't bear to kill him, he would never be able to inherit the position of head of the family and become the head of Goguryeo in the future. Yuan Nanjian was his most valued heir, but in order to defeat the Tang army, he resolutely went deep behind enemy lines and sacrificed his life for righteousness. Now that there is only this young son left, he naturally needs to be cultivated.
It's just that this son has probably read too much, and his brain has been corroded by Confucianism, making him a bit pedantic. If you want to train him into a qualified successor, the road is long and difficult, and it is not easy...
Yuan Nan's handsome face was full of admiration, and he bowed and said: "My child has learned a lesson."
Yeon Gaesumun stroked his beard and smiled happily. Then his smile faded a little and he sighed quietly.
Although the young son is worthy of training, the city of Pingrang is in danger right now. If he is not careful, he will be crushed by the Tang army. He does not know whether he will have the chance to ascend to the throne, create a grand hegemony, and then conquer the country. Leave it to the hands of the youngest son to let the Yuan family rule Goguryeo for thousands of years...
However, Yeon Gae So-moon is a man with a strong will after all. He only felt depressed for a moment, but immediately lifted his spirits. There are more than 100,000 Goguryeo elites in Pingrang City, and tens of thousands of Baekje reinforcements. They have sufficient equipment and weapons. It is difficult for the Tang army to break through the city.
Everyone in Hecheng was united as one and vowed to defend the capital to the death.
Once the war drags on, the only one who will be defeated in the end is the Tang army...
After a moment, Changsun Chong was escorted in by two soldiers.
Changsun Chong, who used to be handsome and handsome like a jade, now looks gray and disheveled. In less than a day, he has become haggard and aged by dozens of years, and he no longer has the charm of the past.
Yuan Gaisuwen sat on his knees behind the desk, glanced at Changsun Chong, and said calmly: "Give me a seat!"
A clerk at the side took a futon and put it on the mat. Changsun Chong hesitated for a moment, went forward and knelt down, and then sighed: "Da Molizhi wants to give me death, but please do it, it can't be done." Why should I be humiliated if I die?”
"Heh."
Yeon Gaesumun sneered, but his cold face showed no expression at all, and said calmly: "Don't pretend to be ready to die in front of me. If you really wanted to die, you should have raised your knife and burned with me." , since your first thought at that time was to escape, and now you are in jail, it is just a pretense because you know you will die. In the end, you are just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. "
Changsun Chong's face twisted, his eyes stared at Yuan Gaisuwen, and then he lowered his head in despair.
Just as Yeon Gae So-moon said, he knew he was going to die, so he pretended to die bravely, hoping to leave a strong image to outsiders, and even history would praise him instead of describing him. He became the main culprit that led to the defeat of the Tang army and the death of countless soldiers in the sea of fire.
However, Yeon Gae Suwen revealed his thoughts with one word, causing the courage he had finally accumulated to leak out in an instant, and the fear of death filled his heart again...
Yeon Gaesumun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Having said that, I don't have to punish Dalang Mingzhengdian..."
Changsun Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head to look at Yuan Gaisuwen in disbelief, his eyes that were already dead gray glowed again.
Ants are greedy for life, how much more for humans?
As long as there is a glimmer of life, anyone will seize it, although he knows that this chance of survival may require a price heavier than death...
Yuan Gaisuwen put down his tea cup and said warmly: "Although Dalang intends to open the city to surrender and welcome the Tang army into the city, it will be a crime of death. However, if you have the right to do it, you can understand it. Since Dalang entered Pingrang Since you entered the city, I have treated you well, but now Pingrang City is in danger, and the Goguryeo Kingdom is about to overthrow. I wonder if Dalang can be willing to do so. Do you want to help me keep this throne? If Da Lang is willing, I will not only not kill you, but also betroth my daughter to you according to my previous promise. Whether you stay in Pingrang City or return to Chang'an in the future, I I can ennoble you as a marquis, and Goguryeo will forever form an alliance with the eldest son’s family!”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Nanchan on the side said hurriedly: "Father, how did this happen? This man conspired to overthrow Goguryeo and trapped my father in a place of eternal disaster. Even if he was cut into pieces by a thousand swords, it is ordinary, how can he be treated so kindly?" br>
Yeon Gaesumun waved his hands and cursed in his mind for being pedantic.
The city of Pingrang was in turmoil, and it might be captured by the Tang army one day. No matter how many benefits he promised to Changsun Chong, it was just a verbal promise, so what's the big deal?
Yuan Nanchan stood aside angrily, not daring to say anything, but he looked at Changsun Chong with a very unkind look.
Changsun Chong naturally understood that these promises made by Yuan Gaisuwen were nothing more than mirror flowers and moons in the water, and were very likely to become nothing. But as long as he did not die, how could he refuse?
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "I am just a sinner. I am waiting for death, but I don't know where I can help Da Molizhi."
"Don't belittle yourself, Grandson Dalang," Yuengai Suwen said slowly: "Of course you are useless, but you still have a good father."
Changsun Chong said in confusion: "Although my father once had great power in the government and the opposition, his power is much weaker now than it was then. I am afraid that it will affect your Majesty's decision-making, let alone the Eastern Expedition army."
Yuan Gaisuwen nodded and said: "Of course I know this. Emperor Qiangang of the Tang Dynasty was arbitrary, and it was definitely not something that my father could influence. There were many factions in the Eastern Expedition army, and it was not something that my father could control. However, although my father was in Liaodong, there was nothing he could do. , but Changan There is a lot of power there, especially the leader of the Guanlong nobles, who has great prestige. If your father can cause turmoil in Chang'an and force the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to withdraw his troops, it will not be difficult to save Pingrang City. "
"Huh?"
Changsun Chong was stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Gaisuwen to have such an idea.
Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao?
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat operational...
Nowadays, there is an undercurrent of turmoil in Chang'an City, and all forces are eyeing the position of the East Palace. However, no one has the courage to ensure that everything is done cleanly before His Majesty Li Er returns to the capital, so they are afraid of each other and stay put.
At this time, if a veteran like Changsun Wuji really raised his voice and overthrew the East Palace and established King Jin, by the time His Majesty returns to Beijing, the overall situation has been decided, I believe His Majesty will follow the trend and acquiesce in King Jin's ascension.
And once there are turbulences in Chang'an, all forces appear on the stage, and the East Palace is affected, how can His Majesty sit still in Liaodong? If the East Palace is attacked, the country of Sheji and Zuo will be in turmoil and overthrow. At that time, any expedition to the east will be just idle. Your Majesty will definitely withdraw his troops and return to Beijing to stabilize the country.
By then, Pingrang City will naturally turn the corner and win without a fight...(End of Chapter)
