Chapter 557
The envoy's face finally changed a little bit. After considering his sentence, the envoy said cautiously: "General Rongzhi, under the bloody battle of millions of soldiers of the Joseon King, although we were lucky enough to capture the false king Gao Yanyou and break through Even though the city was destroyed, our soldiers also suffered heavy losses. I implore the general to show mercy and allow our soldiers to cultivate in this city for a period of time.
"As for the false king Gao Yanyou, this man committed a heinous crime, and he offended the Celestial Dynasty with his lust for profit. He should be sentenced to death. However, when Goguryeo was newly attached, the foreign envoys believed that virtue should be the main priority, so that the subjects of Goguryeo would return to their hearts!"
"So, Gao Yanyou and Zu Bencheng don't want to make friends anymore?" Shang Ji's face darkened quickly, and he said angrily.
"The general misunderstood. This is just a small suggestion given by the foreign minister. If the general insists on punishing Gao Yanyou, our army will of course offer Gao Yanyou with both hands!"
The envoy immediately changed his tone. As for Zubencheng, he didn't even mention a single word!
"As far as I know, Gao Yanyou emptied all the treasury of Goguryeo when he fled. Did these spoils fall into your hands? I don't want too much, I will use 50 million gold as compensation for the military expenses of this dispatch." , you send Gao Yanyou and fifty million gold, and I will act as if nothing happened!"
"Hey General, the people of Goguryeo are poor and the country is weak. In addition, Gao Yanyou was ignorant of current affairs and tried to resist the heavenly soldiers by force. As a result, Goguryeo's treasury was empty. How could there be 50 million gold for the general? Please also learn from the general! "The envoy's face turned bitter, as if tears might fall at any moment, and he looked at Shang Ji desolately.
"Stop talking nonsense, you took advantage of my unpreparedness and robbed the city of my pawn. Pu Yin's methods were even better, and I would admit defeat. But let me make it clear that 50 million gold plus Gao Yanyou is your usurpation of the pawn." The price of this city. If you don’t give it, then I will lead my troops to get it myself! This general has never been defeated in the Huaxia District, and I just want to experience the arrogant soldiers of North Korea!"
The envoy's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and the miserable expression disappeared instantly, the speed was comparable to the face-changing stunt!
"General, do you mean that there is nothing to talk about?" The envoy straightened up and asked coldly.
"Fifty million gold plus Gao Yanyou, or Zubencheng, you choose one!" Shang Ji sneered.
"General, don't bully people too much, I am not a vegetarian!"
"I don't care if you are a vegetarian or you will eat meat. The conditions are set for you. You can choose by yourself! The money and people will be sent within three days, and the city and the east of the city will belong to you. If you have no money, then Wait for the soldiers to attack!"
After finishing speaking, Shang Ji ignored the envoy's constantly changing expression, and said in a cold voice, "Seeing off the guests!"
"Please!" Guo Biao came out and said to the envoy.
The envoy glanced at Shang Ji unwillingly, and left the hall under Guo Biao's protection (coercion).
"General, what are you really going to talk about with the North Koreans?"
After the envoy left, Xi Zhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
"of course not!"
One of the most important reasons why Shang Ji conquered Goguryeo was to stabilize the rear. In the future, whether it is participating in the national war or entering the customs to compete in the world, the rear will not be invaded.
Once the North Koreans occupied Zuben City, not only did Shang Ji's plan come to nothing, but in order to guard against Pu Yin, a large-scale army had to be deployed in the east, which ran counter to the original plan.
"Ming repairing the plank road and secretly keeping Chencang?"
"Sir, you have sharp eyes, I really can't hide this little trick from you!"
"Where is Chen Cang?" Xi Zhicai ignored Shang Ji's flattery and asked directly.
"Use the other's way to return to the other body!"
"Navy Master?" Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How to do it specifically?"
Shang Ji smiled when he heard the words, and pulled Xi Zhicai to the compartment next to the huge sand table, pointed to a mountain range on the sand table and said: "Look, sir, this mountain range is called Prison Dragon Mountain. It stretches for tens of thousands of miles from north to south. The dividing line of China. And this place is called the Dragon Throat Grand Canyon!"
Shang Ji pointed to a small gap in the middle of the Prison Dragon Mountain Range and said.
Prisoner Longshan Mountain is full of high forests, dense forests and fierce beasts. The only way for a large-scale army to go through the Dragon Throat Grand Canyon.
The southernmost tip of Prison Dragon Mountain is the sea. If you want to go around, you can only take the northern route, along the road that Pu Yin took when he attacked Zubencheng.
However, the north is desolate, and there are no decent roads. A small number of troops can try it, but a large-scale army crossing thousands of miles of no-man's land is tantamount to death!
In other words, whoever occupies the Dragonmaw Canyon will have the strategic initiative!
"I have sent Qian Huan to monitor the movement of the North Korean army. Once they pass through the Dragon's Throat Canyon, we will take a naval warship and cross it to occupy the Dragon's Throat Canyon and block the North Korean army's back. Then let Liu Yi lead the army Huitong's three-way army will come directly to kill the turtle in the urn, wipe out the million North Korean troops, and teach Pu Yin a lesson!"
Xi Zhicai listened closely to Shang Ji's description of his plan, frowning and thinking for a moment from time to time.
"There are two questions!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"First, whether our army has the ability to eliminate one million incoming North Korean troops in a short period of time; second, whether we can hold the Dragon Throat Grand Canyon in the face of the North Korean army's counterattack!"
"As far as I know, the North Korean army we are facing this time is not ordinary. Once we occupy the Dragon's Throat Canyon, while we will surround the million Korean troops who invaded, it also indicates that our army in the Dragon's Throat Canyon will also be captured by North Korea. Surrounded by the North Korean army. If there is a slight difference, it is not that we wiped out the invaders, but our army was pinched by the North Korean army and destroyed!"
"Sir, I have also considered your concerns. At present, our army still has more than 1.6 million troops in Goguryeo, and there are 400,000 Goguryeo servants. There are only five top historical generals. In addition, I plan to Let Zilong and Yanchen lead the troops to support and wipe out one million court troops, and it will be safe!"
"As for the second point, there is indeed such a possibility, but for the sake of safety, I plan to lead the army to capture the Dragon's Throat Grand Canyon in person. All the soldiers on the expedition also choose the army. It should be no problem to take advantage of the geographical advantage to block the North Korean army's counterattack ! Besides, there is still a master here! With the help of a master, why should I be afraid of it?"
These days, Xi Zhicai has been following Deng Yan in handling Pingzhou's government affairs, but Shang Ji clearly knows that compared with government affairs, Xi Zhicai is really good at military strategy!
In large-scale military confrontations, the role of top military divisions is much more important than that of top generals.
Hearing what Shang Ji said, Xi Zhicai, who had been tense all the time, showed a slight smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the general, I will go with the general. Let's see who Pu Yin is. How dare you invade the Han territory!"
