Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2125

"This is difficult. There is a saying that accepting surrender is like facing an enemy. If you can control the soldiers and horses in the whole city, I can let you drive the soldiers and horses outside the city to accept surrender, but now..."

Guo Ye's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "It's better to have your sergeants wrap a piece of red cloth around their left arms as an internal response when our army attacks the city tomorrow, and attack the Goguryeo people to create chaos."

"I'm afraid that won't work either." Sun Daiyin said with a bitter face, "It's okay to let these brothers surrender with me, but if you want them to attack their former colleagues, most of them may really not be able to do so."

"Neither left nor right. Then there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Without the cooperation of the Tang army, just relying on these five thousand soldiers, launched a mutiny and took Liaodong City!"

Chapter 1945 Li Wei

Sun Daiyin said with a bitter face: "Five thousand breaks one hundred thousand? Qin Guogong, I know that you are good at fighting, but the brothers under me are really ordinary people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to drive them."

"You don't need to fight hard. You are the Lord of Liaodong City, and you have great righteousness. Just use a little trick to arrest all the high-ranking generals in the city? There is a saying that people can't fly without heads, and birds can't fly without heads. No With so many generals behind us, what is the use of more sergeants in the city?"

"You mean...give them a Hongmen banquet?"

Guo Ye said: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away. You don't need to kill many people, you just need to detain most of them. City Lord Sun's five thousand soldiers should be able to control the whole city, right?"

"This...is easy to say, but in practice...to achieve your goal, why don't you arrest hundreds of people? I'm afraid the young general is beyond his power, and he needs Duke Qin's help."

"Guo is of course duty-bound."

"Also, is there any way to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty know that I have changed? It will be easy to cooperate then?"

"Come here with your ears, we are like this, like this. Not only can Tang Jun get the news, but it can also make our plan smoother."

Sun Daiyin was overjoyed after hearing this, and said, "Okay, that's it for us!"

……

……

That night, Liaodong City began to switch defenses intensively, and it was not declared over until dawn.

At this time, outside the city lord's mansion, many generals of Goguryeo had already gathered, asking Sun Daiyin for an explanation.

It has to be said that Yuan Nanjian is really good at personnel arrangements.Sun Daiyin made a slight movement, and everyone couldn't help it.

Sun Daiyin had expected this scene long ago, and sent an order: "Beat the drums and gather the generals!"

As soon as the drum sounded, the crowd stopped making noise immediately, and everyone walked quickly into the city lord's mansion.In the meeting hall, stand according to your rank.

The three-way drum sounded, and Sun Dai's voice sank like water, and said: "Roll call!"

"Here!"

Not much effort, the head has been counted. Of the 320 generals, a total of ten have not yet arrived.

Among these ten people, seven of them were stationed at the top of the city, so they should not have come here.As for the other three people, one of them was named Yuan and was named Jushou, and he was a member of the Goguryeo army.

There is another person, surnamed Sun and named Anren, who is considered to be a brother of Sun Daiyin.He commanded a battalion of soldiers and horses.

There is another person, but Sun Daiyin's old father-in-law Wen Shamen.

Sun Daiyin frowned, and said angrily, "Facao, if the three-way drum fails, what should I do?"

"This...should be...dang beheaded."

"What do you mean should be beheaded? As a Fa Cao, you don't even know the laws of the army?"

"Of course the humble official knows, but... this legal principle is nothing more than human feelings..."

"Hmph, with this general, there are only legal principles and no human feelings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black and fat officer ran in panting, knelt down on the tunnel and said, "City Master, your meeting with the generals is too early, the last general drank a little wine last night and overslept." I hope the city lord will forgive me."

"Hmph, Yuan Jushou, you will find a reason, why do you only snooze when others don't snooze?"

"Okay, then it's my fault, so what do you do?" Yuan Jushou rolled his eyes and said, "The Zuo Xiaowei general of the Tang Dynasty, Pang Xiaotai, was beheaded by a certain family. With such great achievements, can't it be worth it?" This little crime?"

Sun Daiyin shook his head, and said: "This general governs the army strictly, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit, but there has never been any merit or demerit. Come on!"

"exist!"

"Drag Yuan Jushou and behead him for public display!"

Several personal guards came forward, wiped their shoulders and folded their arms, and tied up Yuan Jushou.

Yuan Jushou said angrily: "Sun Daiyin, you dare to kill me? I don't accept it!"

"What's your objection?"

"I don't believe it anymore. There are hundreds of people. Am I the only one who was late? Why did you kill me alone?"

"That's right, not only you, but also Sun Anren and my father-in-law Wen Shamen. But they haven't come yet, if they come, hehe, they won't be able to escape the pain of a knife!"

"Are you crazy? Kill your own people and father-in-law too?"

"There are no father and son in the army, let alone a husband-in-law?"

At this moment, a middle-aged general ran into the tent, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "The end is late, and I hope the city lord will punish him!"

Yuan Jushou now has a reason: "Hey, Sun Daiyin, are you willing to kill me, but Sun Anren? If you have the guts, kill the two of us together?"

"Why don't you dare? Come here, push these two people out, and behead them for public display!"

"Marshal, don't do it!" All the generals knelt down on the ground.

Yuan Jushou was blah blah blah blah all day, he was not very popular, so if he was beheaded, he would be beheaded.But Sun Anren was different. He was fair and honest, united with his colleagues, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and brave in killing methods. He was a very perfect general and was well-known in the Goguryeo army.

Kill him, who can't kill him?

Sun Daiyin said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you trying to threaten the Lord of the city?"

"The last general doesn't dare, but General Sun Anren has always been a role model for my Goguryeo soldiers. I am late today. There must be some unavoidable reasons. I also hope that the commander-in-chief will show mercy and spare his life."

Sun Anren lowered his head and said, "Commander, I will report back with my feelings."

"You said."

"The last general didn't intend to neglect the city lord's military order. In fact, he was stopped by a group of masked men on the way here today. When the last general led people to kill them, it was already delayed for nearly half an hour."

"Oh, so that's the case." Sun Daiyin nodded and said, "Facao, what should the army do in this situation?"

"Uh..." Fa Cao smiled wryly, "Any failure, no matter what the reason, is a crime of beheading. But the city lord has the right to grant mercy outside the law."
