Chapter 37 Intrigue
Yang Zhuo told Gao Yanshou about his father Yang Wanchun's intentions, and Gao Huizhen made the two angry.
The situation of the aristocratic family in Goguryeo was more serious than that in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the Central Plains. The major families controlled most of the military power, and in their respective fiefs, they were like local kings and princes, and they were lip service to the central government's political governance. Because of this, Gao Jianwu had the intention of "reducing the vassal states", and in this way, he countered the important officials of the aristocratic family and lost his life first.
The original nobles in Goguryeo were divided into five divisions, including the Juenu tribe, the Juenu tribe, the Shunu tribe, the Guannu tribe, and the Guilou tribe. According to the distribution of the region, it is also referred to as the five major families in the interior, the eastern, southern, northern and western regions. The five largest tribes are not on par, but are divided into three levels: the first level is the Guilou tribe where the royal family is located, the second level is the Juenu tribe and the Juenu tribe, and the third level is the Shunu tribe and the Guannu tribe.
The Yuan family belongs to the third-level Shunnu tribe, and has always been the last of the aristocratic family. However, because the Yuan family emerged with a stunning Yuanziyou and a calm and steady Yuan Binzhi, the brother took advantage of the opportunity of Yang Guang's Dongzheng to control the real power of Goguryeo and embezzled the power of the Goguryeo royal tribe, which made the Guilou tribe only have the regime but no military power, and also laid the cause and effect for the demise of the Guilou tribe.
Now Goguryeo is called the inner Guilou tribe almost dissipated, leaving only four major divisions, namely Juenu, Shunnu and Guannu. The ones ordered to lead 100,000 troops to support Anshicheng were the northern Juenu tribe, the northern Juenu tribe, and the southern Guannu tribe∟, w£ww. The so-called Yusat is the head of the aristocratic tribe, equivalent to the head of the aristocratic tribe, and the pillar of the clan of the clan.
Gao Yanshou, born in aristocratic family, and Gao Huizhen had an instinctive rejection of Yang Wanchun, born in peasant people. This was considered a great shame to be ordered to accept his dispatch.
However, the Yuan family is now at its peak in Goguryeo. The young leader of the new Madame Patriarch, Yuan Gaisuwen, was extremely cruel and heartbroken. They were not allowed to go from Anshicheng, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were full of anger.
Their environment on the Korean Peninsula is harsh. It is hot and rainy in summer and cold and dry in winter. It is now late summer and early autumn. The climate is particularly unstable, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, and it is hot during the day and cold at night.
At that time, the Tang army had not yet captured Baiyan City, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen asked Yang Wanchun to let their army enter the city to rest. He proposed that Yang Wanchun refuse to enter the city, but instead appointed them to station in Zhuoshan and support each other with Anshicheng. As a result, the sky was not beautiful. On the way to Zhuoshan, it rained rains, and the army of 100,000 were poured into a rooster. He was frozen all night and suffered a lot of guilt.
In fact, Yang Wanchun's arrangement was very wise and rational. Anshicheng was not a giant city like Liaodong. Its characteristics were small and firm. Radical squeezed a hundred thousand army into a small city would cause a lot of trouble. Placement of a hundred thousand army in favorable terrain could only play the wonderful role of the army. Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were already full of prejudice against Yang Wanchun. They insulted in their instinctive view of this move as Yang Wanchun was embarrassed to make trouble for them.
This side had just gained a foothold in Zhuoshan. Waiting for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's troops, they received the order to give up Zhuoshan and retreat for thirty miles.
This feeling of teasing and playing is even more affirmed in the hearts of the two. Gao Yanshou said in a rude voice in anger: "The ungrateful untouchables were promoted to a noble with the support of Lord Yuanziyou. Not only did they know their kindness but did not seek repaid, they opposed Lord Yuanziyou. Now they are playing with us as monkeys, which is outrageous."
Gao Huizhen also said angrily: "I really don't know what Lord Mo Lizhi thought. Let a deceased person command us? Let us listen to a small city lord? I'll send it back to the tribe. What other face-to-face leaders are there? I'll stay here in the mountains and stop leaving. See how that deceased person can do us..."
Gao Yanshou's intestines were a little more than Gao Huizhen's eyes, and his eyes turned, "No, we should listen to him." He said, taking out the map near Anshi City and gestured, "This is Anshi City, this is the Mount of Zhuang. We are on Mount of Zhuang. In order to prevent the attack from our Mount of Zhuang, the Tang army would definitely not dare to attack Anshi City with great fanfare. But if they retreated thirty miles, they would push it down..." He drew an arc on the map, pointing to the point on the map, and said, "He arranged our 100,000 troops behind and pushed himself up. He wanted to show off his heroes, he wanted to show off his power, he was determined to act on his own, and he had nothing to do with us. Since that's the case, why don't we fulfill him merciful?"
Gao Huizhen's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "It makes sense. We have a hundred thousand troops. He doesn't like it, so he lets him fight 20,000 troops. If he can't defend it, the Tang army will be almost as consuming as him. We have a hundred thousand troops. We will take advantage of their long battles and conquer them in one fell swoop. If he really defends it, we can also fight from the left and right to block the Tang army's retreat and pick up a ready-made bargain."
The two looked at each other and smiled, no longer angry, and readily transferred the 100,000 troops they led from the garrison.
The news that Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's 100,000 troops retreated thirty miles reached Luo Shixin at the first time. Listening to the scout's news, Luo Shixin smiled and said to the left and right: "Who do you think this is the opinion?"
"No matter who it is, we can now be sure that there is no problem with General Zuo's situation. Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen and Yang Wanchun do have great conflicts. They are intrigue with each other, which just makes us cheaper." Li Daozong said with a smile.
Su Dingfang said: "I guess it should be Yang Wanchun. He expected Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen would not send troops sincerely to help. Instead of letting them be attacked by us in the garrison mountain and considering how to rescue them, it would be better to leave them behind and face us alone without any scruples." He spoke with confidence, and he had no doubt that they defeated the other side with less than twice the enemy's strength.
Not only him, but also the soldiers and generals in the army had the same attitude. They were not worried that they had few soldiers and many enemy soldiers, and they were full of confidence in the upcoming battle. This was not the pride caused by ever-winning victory, but the elite troops who had won every battle naturally formed the belief that they would win invincible.
Liu Rengui nodded and said, "I also agree with General Manager Su's view. In addition, you can also imagine that Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are easy to retreat. If they want them to attack, it will be extremely difficult. Our enemy is as expected, only one Anshi City..."
Luo Shixin thought that the distance was not far away was the Anshi City that allowed Li Shimin to stop, and said affirmatively: "History will not repeat itself. If you step on Ping'an City, you can directly point to the capital of Goguryeo. The victory or defeat is right in front of you, and the generals will follow me to win the city."
His troops were directed directly to Anshi City and arrived outside Anshi City that night...
