"Old Cheng, with such a formation, if we attack forcefully, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties.

Are there any good ideas? "

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened, "A certain family didn't have any good ideas. I originally wanted to blow him up with thunderbolts, but who would have thought that the commander would beat Anshicheng to find out? I don't know which **** leaked the cement formula. , these grandsons of Goguryeo actually built three concrete inner city walls inside the city, and it seems that Hong Tianlei is useless."

Li Jing was indeed informed about the cement incident, and later he notified the entire army that they must not forcefully attack cities to avoid losing troops and generals.

To this day, many spies in Chang'an City are still investigating the leak of cement.

On the second day after the two camped against the city, as if God was helping, Hou Junji, who was stationed in Baekje in the south, led a [-] navy to attack and reached the city of Pyongyang.

As soon as he met Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, Hou Junji felt embarrassed. He saw that the war was coming to an end, and wanted to lead the navy to fight the autumn wind to gain a big advantage, but unexpectedly met the army directly, and was arrested.

"Well, you monkey, it's not enough to give you military merits in Baekje and Silla, and you dare to secretly steal meritorious service from us? See if you have the face to come to the military headquarters to drink with us in the future?" Cheng Yaojin cursed, But the heart was already full of joy, Hou Junji was a famous wise general, the strategy of attacking the city might fall on his head, otherwise, it would take too long and it would be bad if the commander's messenger arrived.

"This, this, a certain family also heard that the two brothers were going to attack the city, so they came here to help.

Don't worry, it's just a simple assist, and our navy doesn't want any military merits. "

In order to save his reputation, Hou Junji had no choice but to change the term, otherwise the explanation would not be clear.

But Yu Chigong didn't believe it. It's a secret that the two of us marched to attack the city. How did you know that you monkey is in the south?

"Sir..." Before Yu Chigong could speak, Cheng Yaojin stretched out his hand to stop him.

He laughed loudly and said: "I know that Monkey is righteous, if you say that, brother, we will not be polite.

You came at the right time, Lao Hei and I are worrying about the fortification of Pyongyang City, fearing that our brothers will be killed or injured, so we dare not attack by force.

It is said that you monkey is the third in the Tang Dynasty, do you have a good plan? "

Cheng Yaojin's words are not only a collection of praises for Hou Junji, but also a collection of generals. Li Jing, the god of war, the third is Li Ji and Li Maogong from the north, and the fourth is Hou Junji, but how can Hou Junji be convinced?I have always insisted that I am the third.

That's why Cheng Yaojin said that at this time. In fact, Cheng Yaojin didn't know that in the current city, the Cui family was waiting for the cooperation from inside and outside. He would immediately open the door and let him go, but it was a pity that Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to contact Cui Shi, otherwise it would be difficult to make a deal with Cui Shi's pretext of helping.

Chapter 776 Is it possible to attack the heart?

After Hou Junji heard Cheng Yaojin's aggressive general, he didn't refuse, he went up to embrace him and said, "What's so difficult about it?

On the way here, I have already thought about the city defense of Pyongyang City, and now there is only one isolated city left in Goguryeo.

We can imitate the commander-in-chief's way of winning without a fight, and use a heart attack tactic to spread our surrender conditions to the city in the form of pieces of paper. Presumably the people in the city are panicking at the moment. As long as we say surrender and not kill, the fear of death will definitely be on the lookout And down. "

"Okay, you're resourceful, monkey." Yu Chigong praised loudly.

But Cheng Yaojin, who was originally in high spirits, didn't speak, his face darkened, as if he and Yu Chigong had switched roles.

"What's so good, if I can use the mind attack strategy, I would have used it a long time ago, and I still need to wait for your old man to come?"

After yelling at the two of them, Cheng Yaojin even forgot that he slipped the tongue.

"Well, old Cheng, why is this? Don't you recruit them, do you really want to slaughter the city?" Yu Chigong questioned, at this time he finally began to question Cheng Yaojin's actions along the way.

Looking at the two, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to wave back the left and right sides of the big tent, and ordered the guards not to allow anyone within a hundred steps.

Only the three of them were present in the entire Chinese military tent.

"What is the reason that makes you so secretive, old Cheng? Could it be that the commander-in-chief still has a secret order? But you and I are going out as generals at the same time, and the commander-in-chief asked me to keep an eye on you. Why didn't I know about it?" Yuchi Gong complained.

Hou Junji remained silent, waiting for Cheng Yaojin to speak. After all, he was just a helper, training soldiers along the way.

"This is the top secret of Goguryeo's war of destroying the country. It is not recorded in writing, and it is not shown in front of people. Not to mention you, even I, Lao Cheng, only learned of it by chance.

If I didn't tell you, Old Hei, that was because I was thinking of you, brother. After all, this kind of thing is disgraceful, and you will suffer if you don't say it. "Cheng Yaojin explained.

Yu Chigong was dissatisfied and said: "You old Cheng don't treat me as a brother, so I will abandon you alone to make up for the crime?"

"Stop, listen to me.

The monkey should be able to understand that the extermination of the country in our Tang Dynasty is slightly different from the extermination of the country by the previous dynasties, but there are also similarities.

The dynasties of the previous dynasties basically failed to manage and assimilate other countries in a long-term stable manner like us, but my Tang Dynasty did it, as can be seen from the Eastern Turks on the Grassland.

We must know that when Emperor Wu of the Han conquered the entire grassland, didn't the Hu people share it in the end?But we subdued the grassland people in just three years. In short, 20 years later, the new generation in the grassland will be out-and-out citizens of the Tang Dynasty. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin was full of admiration, including Hou Junji, who nodded in praise. Conquering the world is easy and governing the world is difficult. Lantian Hou conspired to assimilate foreign countries. Although the process is one-size-fits-all, it is a once-and-for-all strategy for the country. .

"Old Cheng, are you saying that after the defeat of Goguryeo, we will kill their leaders just like the grassland?" Hou Junji seemed to have guessed it.

Nodding his head, Cheng Yaojin said: "That's right, Goguryeo is better educated by etiquette than the grassland people, and there are more ambitious people in the country, so it is even more necessary to behead their heads and win the hearts of the people.

But that's where they get tricky.

Originally, the commander-in-chief's plan was to gather the common people, and the rest of the people who moved to the land, or those who stayed behind the family property, were all diehards of Goguryeo, and that was my enemy of the Tang Dynasty.This is the time for our 20 troops to come in and kill the enemy.

Oh, of course, I didn't expect your navy to come too. "

Cheng Yaojin did not forget to bring Hou Junji with him, and Yu Chigong suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, no wonder you dragged me in so early to kill, it turns out that you already knew to come to grab credit."

But Cheng Yaojin blushed and said, "You still don't know my old Cheng's weight? How can I have any ingenuity to see the opportunity so early? I pulled you out earlier because I really wanted to get credit and revenge, but I don't know the twists and turns in it. Go around, just want to kill a few high officials.

Just a few days ago, someone came to me. It was a message from the confidant of our military adviser, Lao Du, and it was Lao Du who explained it to me.

It's just that things have changed, so it was originally planned to encircle 20 to deal with the remnants of Goguryeo, but now only our [-] is left. "

"Oh? What is the accident that can make our army change its plan, from bright to dark?" Hou Junji was puzzled, and wondered if the emperor had spoken.

"It is this nobleman named Cui from the Goguryeo family who attached himself to the Boling Cui family in our country. It is said that the branch of the Cui family has been exiled outside. As early as half a month ago, people from the Boling Cui family went to ask the commander-in-chief to surrender. Goguryeo Cui was willing to respond internally, but the commander-in-chief had no choice but to send messengers to warn the generals not to kill indiscriminately.

Fortunately, we set off early and avoided the messengers. Our task now is to destroy the nobles in the city quickly before the arrival of the commander-in-chief's order, and solve the hidden danger of the possible restoration of Goguryeo in the future. "

As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Yu Chigong shouted: "Go ahead, kill all the Cui family."

But Hou Junji shook his head and said: "One Goguryeo Cui family is probably not enough for the commander to use his secret tricks, presumably he is with the Cui family and other nobles in Goguryeo. The Cui family surrendered a large number, that is a real hidden danger."

"Hey, who's to say it's not, this mission is top-secret, and I will be interrogated by the court afterward, so the two brothers, old Cheng who is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, will be taken care of by me alone." Cheng Yaojin said sincerely.

Yu Chigong grabbed Cheng Yaojin and shouted: "We must carry it together."

But Hou Junji stopped Yu Chigong and said: "No, Lao Hei, this matter cannot be made public, Lao Cheng can use it as an excuse to avenge the soldiers who died for the five cities in Liaodong, and there is nothing to say about a massacre of the imperial court.

If we follow along, we will expose the purpose of the court, especially if the Boling Cui family seizes the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble, then we will fall short, so we can only intercede for Lao Cheng when the time comes, and pretend we don’t know now. "

After explaining everything, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji persuaded Yu Chigong to stop, and the three began to discuss countermeasures again.

"The strategy of attacking the heart is not available, and we can't join forces with the Goguryeo Cui family. Once they have confirmed their identity as internal agents, it would be unreasonable to kill them afterwards. It will damage our reputation. I am afraid that no one will dare to do it to the Tang army in the future. I should.

All I can think of is a strong attack. " Cheng Yaojin explained.
