Chapter 429

Li Zhi, who was worried, listened to Li Hong's words and looked at his son who did not argue with him. He started to beat the drum in his heart. He was afraid that he would arrive in Liujing. The first order he gave was wrong, and even might cause the siege. So he could not help but pray in his heart, but never be caught in the words of the unfilial son.

What's more, he didn't know that Li Hong had asked Ge Xiyuan to inform Qi Peng He Li and Li Jinxing to delay the March, which was deliberately trying to get Xinluo and Baiji outside the city of Koguryo.

In this way, Li Hong was able to cooperate with Liu Rengui in the city, with Qi Li and Li Jing outside the city, and beat all the forces of Silla and Baiji under the city.

The advantage of this is that it can guarantee that within 10 years at least, Xinluo, Baiji and Koguryo will not be able to unite with the other family to annex the other one. At most, the three families often have small frictions and small local wars in the border areas.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty will naturally be able to rest in peace. After ten years of recuperation or seeing them grow stronger, they will be able to sow dissension among the three families and let them continue to fight internally. In the Tang Dynasty, they can mediate again when their troops are almost consumed.

The best result is that we hope that we can keep fighting on the Korean Peninsula in this way, and there will never be a situation in which no one will be big or unified.

However, just like that sentence, he was not afraid of opponents like gods or teammates like pigs. Li Hong's good strategies were easily destroyed by his dragon Father himself. Moreover, it was likely to attract a fatal blow.

I'm not sure. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, the mountains and fields outside Liujing will be full of soldiers from Silla and Baekje.

Huameng and the prince's personal guard came in with several vendors dressed in common people's clothes. On the way in, although their heads were lowered, their eyes kept wandering around. They didn't look like ordinary vendors.

Li Hong knew that he had no spare time to waste on these peddlers. Looking at the appearance of these people, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary peddler, but a detailed work of Xinluo and Baiji sneaking into Liujing.

The cheetah put the table table in front of one of the courtiers in front of the peddlers, then threw the horizontal knife in his hand to Huameng, turned his head and waved to the trembling tongue man next to gaozang and let him come.

Li Hong stopped the tongue man's thin shoulder and said, "tell them, I only ask a question once. If you refuse to answer, I will chop off one of his fingers. If you answer honestly, I will let go."

The tongue man quickly translated the words of his Highness The Prince of Tang Dynasty and gave them to the vendors who were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind them. At this time, their hands, which were originally tied behind them, were held down by the prince's guard and placed on the table.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty and his majesty, gaozang of Koguryo and his other officials did not know how Li Hong would interrogate these people. But when he heard that he was cutting his fingers, Gao Zang could not help but shrink his fat fingers into his palms, as if Li Hong were the first to chop his fingers.

Zhang Lushui listened to Li Hong's subtle words, or was in the so-called sixth sense of women. In short, she still felt a faint impatience and murderous spirit from Li Hong's mouth, so she could not help but clench Lizhi's hand nervously, which naturally attracted Li Zhi's consolation and smile.

"Who are you?" Tongren quickly translated Li Hong's first question into the past.

The five peddlers looked at each other's five people in a daze, and then said with one voice: "Xiaomin is a vendor."

"One for each, chop." Li Hong's voice is very light, even does not seem to be talking about a matter of punishment.

"Ah..."

A series of screams appeared in the palace. Some timid courtiers, looking at the fingers falling from the table, shivered all over, and fainted directly.

The screams of the five vendors still reverberate in the palace. Because of the pain of their fingers being cut off, they had to shake their bodies violently to relieve the pain, but their arms were put on the record and could not move.

Koguryo Wang gaozang, when he heard the first scream, his face turned white again. His fat body swayed for a moment, and then he stabilized himself. He only said that he did not dare to look at the five hands that were bleeding in the next plan.

Zhang Lushui, next to Lizhi, nestled in Lizhi's arms for the first time. He closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands. His heart was beating, as if he would jump out of his mouth because of his nervousness and fear.

Without Li Hong's words, several soldiers of the prince's guard heard their heartrending screams and looked at his Majesty's deep frown. They took out a piece of cloth from his arms and put it skillfully into the mouths of five vendors who were still screaming and groaning.

All of a sudden, the entire palace is only a thin whine, that makes people scalp numb scream finally disappeared.

Li Hong didn't warn them for the second time, but he repeated softly: "who are you? From left to right, answer one by one. ""Xiaomin is really a peddler." As soon as the rag in his mouth was taken away, the peddler cried out with tears streaming down his nose.

"Chop." Li Hong's voice is still very light.

The rag was put into his mouth for the first time, and then the other four vendors came to the table to shake, and the other finger of the vendor fell to the ground.

"Say it." Li Hong stares at the second peddler, still is light to say.

When it came to the third, the vendor was completely defeated by Li Hong's interrogation of cutting his fingers. He cried with tears and snivel. He endured the burning numbness and deep burning pain from his fingers and begged for mercy: "I said that we are the fine works of Silla and Baiji."

"When did you enter the city?"

"They just arrived yesterday, and they are here today." The peddler pointed to the two vendors whose fingers had just been cut off.

"What is your purpose?"

"It's best to find out how many horses are stationed in Liujing

"Did you send the news when the Tang army left the city last night?" Li Hong's eyes narrowed into a gap, but the cold light and killing intention are more powerful, that is, Gao Zang and Li Zhi, and the green water. Although facing Li Hong's back, they can still feel the coldness in Li Hong's words.

"I didn't send it out. Xiaomin didn't dare."

"Chop. Next. " Li Hong said coldly to the executioner Hua Meng.

"Ah Wuwuwu... " Before the peddler screamed, the rag in the soldier's hand was put into his mouth for the first time.

"Fingers and honest answers can only choose the same. Last night, when the Tang army left the city, did you send a message? " At this time, the fourth vendor felt numb at the cut off finger wound, and even the little pain disappeared. However, the beany sweat on his face was enough to show that he was already in pain and was about to faint.

"Sent out, a total of 50000 people from the Tang army and the Koguryo coalition army left the city. Judging from the location, they should go to the border areas to support the border troops of Koguryo. Now there are only 20000 soldiers in Liujing City, his majesty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the three thousand guards of the prince of the Tang Dynasty. " The peddler bears the numb itching feeling that spreads suddenly from the wound, said happily.

"How many people are there in the United forces of Silla and Baekje?"

"Seventy thousand."

"When will it arrive outside Liujing?"

“…… Tomorrow morning. " The peddler hesitated for a moment, saw that Hua Meng raised the horizontal knife in his hand, so he blurted out immediately.

"Are there any of you in town?"

“…… Yes

"How many people?"

"147."

"For what?"

"When the enemy is unable to resist the enemy in the city, it should make joint efforts with the Allied forces outside the city."

"Go down and bandage the wound, and immediately find out those people, all in custody." Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying that, he watched the five vendors being dragged away. At this time, he found that no matter the courtiers on the side of Datang or Koguryo looked at themselves with fear, and no one even dared to look at themselves.

No matter who he looks at, whether he is a minister of Datang or Koguryo, the man lowers his head at the first time and dare not look at himself.

"Father, son minister, please leave Liujing at once and cross the river to disgrace Yi city." Li Hong turned around and looked at the long father who was lost in his mind. He said in a relaxed tone.

"No return." Lizhi slowly raised his head and looked at Li Hong firmly in his eyes.

Li Hong looked at Li Zhi's appearance and turned his eyes helplessly. At this time, father Long's stubborn temper broke out. He was really looking for time.

"Father and emperor, it is said that there are 70000 people in the detailed work, but the children's minister estimates that there will not be only 70000 people outside Liujing tomorrow. There is no doubt that 20000 Jin Wuwei can defend Liujing city. But 20000 people, including 3000 of the children's ministers and the people of Liujing, are far from able to defend the attack of 170000 people." Li Hong had no choice but to be patient and analyze the next war situation to Li Zhi.

"I can't, I can't, what do you do? Do you want me to leave you as a prince? I can't do it. " Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, and his rare eyes flashed the same way that sometimes Wu Mei looked at Li Hong once in a while.

Li Hong sighed again. Although he was warm because of his father's words, this is not the time for love.

Besides, he is not a fool. How can he stay to guard the city for Koguryo? I'm crazy. I can do such a thing!

But this can't be said now. Otherwise, gaozang, king of Koguryo, and his other officials will surely retreat with him. At that time, there are many people and many things to do. It is a question whether they can withdraw before the siege of Silla and Baiji.

Therefore, he needs his father to withdraw immediately with Jin Wuwei, and stay to stabilize the Koguryo people, and then find time to retreat. After all, when necessary, when his father leads his troops to cross the river, he has to cover the safe crossing of the river between the father and the king.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
