Chapter 510: Fuyu City in Distress (2 in 1)
How could the Marai, who had always been rude and savage, kill the envoys and offend Goguryeo? This made the Minister Gaoya very confused.
However, Yuan Gaisuwen nodded calmly and said to his diplomatic envoys: "The two countries will not kill the envoys when they are in war, but the Marine tribe has never known etiquette. It is undoubtedly their style to do such things.
You just fled back in the wilderness? Why is Mary like this? The other party has no explanation?"
The deputy envoy in the envoy stood up and explained: "We asked our men to go to the surrounding area of Martial Arts to inquire. They said that Goguryeo cut off Martial Arts' financial path and made the people of Martial Arts unable to survive."
"Nothing nonsense, Goguryeo and Mary hardly had any contact, why..."
"Maybe Lu, maybe it's because of Beisha City!" a financial official below reminded.
Beisha City? Yuan Gaisuwen was stunned.
"Yes, Dalu, the Tang Dynasty was too far away from the Marine. If you go north, the journey was long and difficult to travel. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty used to export the goods to the Marine.
But since the opening of the Beishacheng trading port, all the goods from the Tang Dynasty to the Marine were beaten up in Goguryeo, greatly reducing the difficulty of transportation on the way. The goods from the Marine were now the largest in quantity." The man continued.
Another person followed and said, "And with their continuous trade route, our Goguryeo can make at least 50% of the profit from it. If this Beisha City is not burned..."
Speaking of this, a colleague next to him pulled him for a while, and the person realized that he had made a mistake.
Yuan Gaisuwen pondered: "So, the Marines counted the destruction of Beisha City on us. Humph, they are really a group of reckless men. Do you want me to apologize in person? They are worthy of it?
Go, go on a mission again, tell the leader of Mart that if the Beisha City is destroyed, it will be destroyed. It is absolutely impossible to apologize at this point. If they want to make money, then go with us to take Fuyu City and give them a share of it.
If they still refuse to participate without knowing the tact, then there is no need to take him to attack Fuyu City. When we stabilize the situation, we will turn around sooner or later to teach these ignorant barbarians who are ignorant of their ignorance."
But when he heard his order, no one moved below, especially the group of diplomats, looking at each other and looking at you.
Yuan Gaisuwen said coldly: "Are you afraid of death and dare not go? What's the point of waiting?"
Forced by his intimidation, a brave man finally stood up and said, "I am willing to go. If so, if I die unfortunately, please take good care of my wife, children, and children."
Yuan Gaisuwen walked up to the person himself, patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Have you safe, this time, Jinghe doesn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
Your family will be treated best, and you will be promoted to two levels when you come back from the mission."
At the same time, the leader of the Marine tribe and the great leader were having a great time talking to Du He.
It was a coincidence that Du He had just arrived in the Mohe, and the Goguryeo envoy arrived the next day. In order to express his sincerity to the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the Mohe directly killed the envoy. However, after the Goguryeo envoy left in a panic, Du He thought this was inappropriate.
After nearly a year of hard work by the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, the leader of the Marine Army transformed from a poor, weak, poor, and cold barbarian to a domineering northeastern border. His confidence soared and almost reached an expansion.
So as soon as he heard that Goguryeo burned the city of Beisha and cut off the wealth route of Mariner, the chief threatened to attack and retaliate against Goguryeo.
When he heard Du He say that he would use troops to unite neighboring countries to destroy Gao Guli, Marce even expressed his willingness to send troops free of charge, as long as the previous trade exchanges can be resumed in the future.
Du He originally thought that it was the great leader who was righteous or had tasted the sweetness of being close to the Tang Dynasty. Later, he realized that it turned out that the people of Mohe had never returned to the hard days they had before.
If the Tang Dynasty's things were out of stock from now on, let alone the leader of the Mariner was unwilling, the people would rise up and make trouble first.
"General Du, don't you worry, just kill two little people? Others are afraid of him, Goguryeo, and our Marine clan is full of warriors, and we will never be afraid of him, Goguryeo. If you have a kind of genius, Gassuwen will come to fight us.
Now the people are having a good time because of the incident in Beisha City, and are worried that they will not find anyone to take revenge." The leader of the Marine said confidently.
Du He smiled and explained: "We believe in Marcelo's strength.
However, our goal is to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop, so there is no need to put a moment of anger with him.
Only when we move out of this roadblock can our Chamber of Commerce significantly develop business with the Marine. Otherwise, even if the Marine City is not destroyed, 50% of each trade will be exploited by Goguryeo, which means that half of the Marine's interests are stuck and snatched away by them."
The leader of the Mariner said angrily: "Yes, I'm angry when I mention this. Our herdsmen finally exchanged their hard work for some wealth, but in the end they took advantage of the shameless people in Goguryeo. If it weren't for the poor and weak Marinerer, I would have wanted to fight him long ago.
General Du is waiting for a moment, and I will now issue an order to recruit soldiers, 100,000 elite warriors, and obey General Du's orders at any time."
"Wait, I was going to borrow 100,000 troops, but now that Goguryeo is here, I have a new plan, maybe I can give him a big gift before the war begins." Du He smiled sinisterly.
The leader of the Marin exclaimed, "How can this work? Why do you want to fight him? Why do you still give him a gift?"
Du He looked at the other party with a strange look, thinking that this guy didn't seem to be familiar with the Tang Dynasty words and couldn't understand the meaning of it.
He held the other party's hand and explained: "I mean, didn't Goguryeo want Marin to send troops to attack Fuyu City together? Yes, let's lead the army to follow them."
"If it's not possible, the Tang Dynasty is a friendly country, how can we attack the Tang Dynasty?" The leader waved his hands repeatedly.
"How could we really take action? When we arrived at the city of Fuyu, we gathered with the three tribes of Khitan and Shiwei, and surrounded them in one fell swoop and captured all the 20,000 people in Goguryeo.
I wonder what Na Yuan Gaisuwen looks like after receiving this gift?"
Oh... So that's what the gift meant? OK! I like it. This gift must have been liked by Yoon Gassuwen. It's much more powerful than the head I gave him. Hi, I'd killed all the envoys before I knew it. It was too stingy to kill only one.
Du He:...
"When Goguryeo sends people to lobby for the Martin to send troops next time, don't kill him or let him see the flaws." Du He reminded.
"Yeah, I understand. I'll explain to my subordinates now."
"Wait, my brother has instructed me that this time the destruction of Goguryeo is to borrow troops. The Du Family Chamber of Commerce hired warriors to fight and would definitely pay for the transaction, so the money must be accepted." Du He insisted.
The leader of the Mariner still refused: "How can this work? We..."
"This time we are a four-nation coalition. Khitan and Shi Weike are eager to make a good fortune through war. If you don't charge money, how can the two countries make money? How can the coalition forces join forces to fight together?"
"No need for them, our Marinal Clan is enough!"
Du He smiled and comforted the other party and said, "Without a 200,000 army, Goguryeo cannot be destroyed, so he can only cooperate.
We have made an agreement to destroy Goguryeo by then. The trade share that originally belonged to Goguryeo will be divided equally according to the war effort.
At that time, it can be said that the entire Goguryeo will be used as a trading area open to you by our Tang Dynasty."
Speaking of this, the leader of the Marine clan knew that his clan could not defeat Goguryeo alone, so he would no longer refuse. It would be better not to spend his own money in wars. Who wouldn't want to make some money with the Tang Dynasty?
In Fuyu City, Su Lie and others waited for a long time but Du He had not heard the news. Gradually, as the situation became more and more obvious, an atmosphere of war was about to begin was permeating the air, and everyone felt an inexplicable tension.
"Reported that General Su is not good. The scouts in front of him found out that the 20,000 troops of Goguryeo were quickly advancing towards Fuyu City."
A long trumpet sound broke the peace of the General's Mansion in Fuyu City, and at the same time it was like a spark, igniting everyone's tension. Everyone knew that the war had truly come from this moment on.
Su Lie, wearing an armored cloak, calmly said: "War will always come suddenly.
Come, beat the drum and gather the generals!"
The main hall of the city lord's mansion was filled with murderous aura, and all the young deputy generals were inevitably nervous and uneasy. After all, most of the people here were the second generation of generals in Chang'an City. Although they had family-born martial arts, this was really the first time they were on the battlefield.
"General, Fang Yiai asked for his order to fight, and he would definitely block the invading Goguryeo army." Fang Yiai was the first to stand up.
This time, Princess Gaoyang did not come to discuss matters with her husband, but chose to obey her husband's words and wait for news at home with peace of mind. Fighting on the battlefield is a matter for men.
Su Lie looked at Fang Yiai with appreciation. Although this young man looked stupid and honest, he was also a fledgling man, but he has never slacked off since he arrived in the army. Now he is the first to stand up and ask for his orders in the war. It can be seen that he is definitely a brave man.
He waved his hand and pressed Fang Yiai. Su Lie glanced at everyone, and then asked in a deep voice: "Now Du He doesn't know what the situation is, and the matter of borrowing troops has been delayed, so there will be no reinforcements in Fuyu City.
Five thousand defenders face 20,000 Goguryeo army. In this battle, defend the city for five days to wait for assistance!
Everyone, are you willing to fight to the death with me?"
Because this war was promoted by Du Shaoqing, Du Shaoqing said that it was to help his younger brother Du He win the bet, and he could fool a group of second generations in Chang'an to Fuyu City. The condition offered was to allow them to participate in a war of destruction and make achievements and become famous.
But the problem is that this battle is all the younger generation, and the most experienced general is Su Lie and Su Dingfang. He is only in his thirties, but his background is slightly weak.
Therefore, no one has ever been in charge of the commander in this battle. Du He cannot afford it, or his stains cannot be washed away, and he is not qualified. Even if he bears the inheritance of Li Jing, his brother cannot be Du Shaoqing. Except for Du Shaoqing who comes in person, everyone will accept Du Shaoqing as the commander.
The rest talks about Xue Rengui, who is Li Jing's closed disciple, but he is not well-born and has insufficient qualifications, so he cannot convince the public.
The eldest prince Li Chengqian refused and insisted that he was here to learn from the general. Qin Shubao's son Qin Huaidao could only lead troops to fight, but not command the commander...
Waiting for this, this group of people put aside the commander. In the end, everyone avoided talking and respected the commander Li Ji as the commander.
In Fuyu City, Su Lie was a general and respected his qualifications and asked him to command. The rest of the people were all deputy generals. Xue Rengui, Du He and Li Zhen also served as military advisors. The rest were waiting to successfully borrow troops and personally took over a military horse and took them to war.
When he returned to the hall of the generals, Su Lie finished speaking, everyone was solemn and almost shouted at the same time: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
They are all a group of young peers of blood. Although they cannot be so panic when encountering problems, with Su Lie's leadership, no one has ever thought of retreating. Not to mention the battle between 5,000 and 20,000, these raw melon seeds can almost scream even if they let 3,000 people fight against the other party's 20,000.
"Okay! Since that's the case, follow me to the top of the city!"
Everyone climbed to the top of Fuyu City. At this time, the city gates on all sides had closed their defenses. The Goguryeo army came in a vast array of smoke and dust in the distance. The merchants around Fuyu City either entered the city quickly or fled quickly, and there were soon no idle people around the city.
"It's all light soldiers? Does Goguryeo look down on our Fuyu City? How confident is it to send such a team? I think it can quickly break the city and occupy the place? I don't bring any supplies?" Su Dingfang said in confusion.
The others stared at Yanchen in front of them for a while and said curiously: "General, the enemy has not yet arrived at the city. How do you know that they are all light soldiers?"
Instead of mocking everyone for their lack of experience, Su Dingfang patiently pointed at the smoke and dust ahead, explaining little by little what configurations it would require for the 20,000 army to march, what formations and momentum it would have, etc. This practical experience has benefited a group of young boys very much, and they are all unable to learn from books.
About half an hour later, the Goguryeo army set out in a grand manner three miles away from Fuyu City. There was no camp or intention to attack the city. They stood neatly, as if they were visiting Fuyu City in a group.
Su Lie was confused. What was going on? Do you want to lure us out of the city to start a war? In the past experience of war, there was no such marching and formation.
After waiting for a while, no movement from the other party was heard, Su Dingfang sent a messenger out of the city and asked the enemy general to come forward to discuss.
"Here you are a general name! Why did you invade my Fuyu City?" Su Lie asked loudly.
The enemy general drove the horse to the city, and looked at the armor dressed by the generals on the top of the city, and felt unbelievable. Why are there so many generals in Fuyu City? Judging from the style of the armor, it should be of high level. So it's easy to catch a big fish?
So he laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I could catch a big fish once. Fuyu City had indeed had a conspiracy, and so many Tang generals were hidden.
Unfortunately, your conspiracy has been discovered by our great couple. Today is the day when your city will be destroyed!"
