Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 487 "Military God" Coming Out of the Mountain

As Li Shimin calculated, Yuan Dazuo panicked when he learned that the Tang Dynasty supported King Rongliu.All along, he didn't take King Rongliu seriously at all. He planned to sweep away King Rongliu's power first, and then sent troops to Liaodong to unify Goguryeo.But King Rongliu has a relationship with the Tang Dynasty, which has a very different meaning.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the orthodox status of King Rongliu, was enough to overthrow him in one fell swoop.

Surrender, it's impossible.

What King Rongliu wanted was his life. Once he surrendered, he would lose everything.

Yuan Dazuo saw that Li Shimin was only supporting King Rongliu verbally for the time being, and had no intention of sending troops yet.Immediately sent his confidants to the Tang Dynasty to express his surrender. At the same time, he also sent troops to Liaodong, intending to destroy King Rongliu after the Tang Dynasty did not act, so as to prevent King Rongliu from taking advantage of the power of the Tang Dynasty to become powerful and turn defeat into victory.

King Rongliu panicked when he learned that Yuan Dazuo sent troops. In terms of strength, Yuan Dazuo's strength was less than half. He had no choice but to turn to the Tang Dynasty who supported him...

Yuan Dazuo's favor, Rongliu Wang's request for help!
Li Shimin gave an ambiguous answer. He had both sides, implying that Yuan Dazuo would not send troops on the one hand, but on the other hand reassuring Wang Rongliu and letting them fight to the death.

Of course, he didn't really care about it. Before the Tang Dynasty sent troops, keeping Rongliu King and preventing Rongliu King from being destroyed by Yuan Dazuo was also the key to drive away the wolf.

Although King Rongliu is far inferior to Yuanshi in strength, he still has a trump card that he hasn't played yet.This trump card is the Koguryo military god Ulji Wendeok who has an extraordinary influence in the army.

Ulchi Wende!

In the eyes of the Goguryeo people, he is like a savior, almost a god.

It is also because of him that Goguryeo was saved from the disaster of extinction.

That year, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, dispatched millions of troops to conquer Goguryeo, spanning more than a thousand miles.Facing the large-scale attack of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, gathered all the troops of the whole country to Liaodong, determined to fight against the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui army continued to attack Liaodong, and Yang Guang decided to divide his troops into three groups: he had many soldiers and generals, and the one who bullied was Goguryeo's few major generals.A main force of 67 remained in Liaodong and besieged Liaodong City; General Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang led the Jianghuai navy to attack Pyongyang by sea; General Yu Wenshu led an army of 30 across the cities of Liaodong and marched towards the Yalu River, flanking the navy from north to south Pyongyang.

This time Goguryeo was dumbfounded and panicked.

The main force of Goguryeo is gathered in Liaodong. How can Pyongyang have the strength to resist the Sui Dynasty's army of nearly 40 land and water?
Ulchi Mandeok was born at this time, saw through the weakness of the Sui army's poor logistics, and gave the Sui Dynasty seven victories with the tactics of luring the enemy deep, lengthening the Sui army's front line.Then he feigned surrender and forced the Sui army to retreat, and then a flood of water washed away 30 Sui soldiers.The main force of the Koguryo army descended from the sky and launched a fierce attack on the Sui army.The hungry Sui army was completely unable to fight any more, and all armies collapsed at the first touch, and fled in despair.Sa Yazi ran for hundreds of miles until he escaped the pursuit of the Goguryeo army by the Yalu River. Only 30 of the 700 troops who crossed the Yalu River fled back to Liaodong, losing all their weapons and supplies.

The defeat was so miserable and thorough that Yang Guang had to abandon Liaodong City and ordered his troops to retreat.

The Sui army's 110 million army was exhausted, and Goguryeo couldn't fight it anyway.

Ulchi Mundeok killed 30 Sui troops in one fell swoop, which was fatal to the superior Sui army.

Therefore, the entire Goguryeo respects Ulji Wendeok, who led the battle of Sashui and turned the tide of the battle, like a god, so much so that he has the title of Goguryeo Army God and Goguryeo Savior.

Ulji Mundeok retired due to old age, and happened to be recuperating in the inner city.

However, because Ulji Mundeok came from a poor family, he had been squeezed out by Goguryeo's aristocratic family, and he withdrew from the Goguryeo political arena early, and the one who contributed the most was undoubtedly the flourishing Yuanshi.It's just that Ulji Moondeok faded out for too long, and King Rongliu actually ignored him.

Gao Huizhen, the lord of the inner city, mentioned that King Rongliu, who was retreating to the inner city, rushed to the west of the city under the escort of several personal guards regardless of the weather.

Ulji Mundeok's mansion has a deep courtyard, and he is prone to lethargy in his old age, so he goes to bed early.

King Yeongryu came to him, and Eulji Moondeok asked his son to wake him up to understand what had happened.

Ulji Mundeok is nearly seventy years old, with a medium build, gray hair, and a face full of age marks, but he is full of energy, his waist is straight, and his steps are steady.Even when he was awakened from a dream, he didn't feel confused at all, and he was not at all inferior to young people in terms of energy.

In fact, it is too early to say that he is old and retired based on his mental state.

It's just that for the peace of Goguryeo, I have to retire.

Ulji Mundeok was born in a poor family, but he lived in an official position. The eldest brother is also the deputy prime minister. In Goguryeo, he can be said to be under two people and above ten thousand, which is quite remarkable.But in addition to King Goryeo, above him there is a big opponent Lu who always knows the state affairs and controls the whole army.Yuan Ziyou, the patriarch of the hereditary Yuan family in Goguryeo, was the chief opponent.

At that time, Yuanziyou was both civil and military, with great prestige. During his power period, he assisted the Goguryeo royal family, gathered people's hearts, developed production, and accumulated national strength. Yuanzi Yuyuan's contribution is above Ulji Mundeok.

When Yang Guang first conquered Goguryeo, the first one to stand up was Yuan Ziyou, the great opponent Lu who was in charge of the military and state power.He personally led the troops to confront Yang Guang on the front line of Liaodong, restraining Yang Guang's 70 troops and ensuring that the front line of Liaodong was not lost.In terms of role, Yuan Ziyou is not inferior to Eulji Wende at all.However, Eulji Mundeok became the savior of Goguryeo in the first battle and became the savior of Goguryeo. His prestige was far higher than that of Yuanziyu, and he seriously threatened the status of Yuanshi, the first family of Goguryeo.This caused Yuan Ziyou's dissatisfaction.

At that time, Ulchi couldn't compete with Yuanziyou for Wende, so he had to choose to give in and retire early.

After Yuan Ziyou's death, his son Yuan Dazuo not only succeeded Yuan Ziyou as the head of the Yuan family, but also inherited all Yuan Ziyou's duties in Goguryeo. However, personal ability and prestige are far inferior.

Ulchi Wendeok is indeed a character. He is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, and he especially loves Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms". In this book, the character he admires most is Sima Yi who has the last laugh.And the role he is playing at this moment is the big man in the Three Kingdoms—Sima Yi who is waiting for a good opportunity.

He knew what would happen if the master was weak and his ministers were strong. With Yuan's ambition, sooner or later he would attack the royal family, and that time was the moment when Ulji Mundeok made another glory.

When Ulji Wende was at his most glorious, he retreated into obscurity, and the people of Goguryeo considered him to be a man of noble character, and disdained worldly disputes.As a result, he worships him even more, but in fact he is not willing to fail, and he is just waiting for the chance to come back. Although he is far away from the court, his confidants and generals have never had any continuity Interrupted, his control over the confidant army has not weakened in the slightest.

Also because he has inextricably linked with the army, so he knows the situation in Goguryeo well,
I just listened briefly to King Rongliu's explanation of the situation, so as to have a certain understanding of the current situation.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Eulji Mundeok's eyes flashed with excitement. The only opponent he feared, Yuan Ziyu, was dead. King Rongliu came to visit him in person. He knew that this was the time he had been waiting for to come back. He was afraid that King Rongliu would come back. Seeing his abnormality, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be contemplative. After a while, when his mind calmed down, he pretended to be sorry and said: "For the sake of the peace of Goguryeo and to avoid the loss of life, I chose to back down. I thought that the Yuan family would wholeheartedly assist His Majesty to unify the world without a minister, but never thought that Yuan Ziyou's son, Yuan Dazuo, would have evil intentions. Back then, the minister saw that Yuan Ziyou was devoted to finding talents for the country, and he was very impressed. Yes, I never thought that all of this is for today. If I had known this, I would have fought the Yuan family even if I died." Ulji Wende looked angry, and the appearance of a loyal minister and righteous man made King Rongliu Overjoyed, he hurriedly said: "General, the lonely king is here to invite you to come out of the mountain, and please lead the soldiers of Goguryeo to put down the rebellion."

Ulchi Wende said: "I am old, and my mental and physical strength are no longer what they used to be. I am afraid that I will bear the great trust of Your Majesty."

King Rongliu was in a hurry. He almost begged and said: "The spirit of the old general is no less than that of a young man. Why do you say he is old? Does the old general want to see the mountains and rivers laid down by his predecessors turn into a sea of ​​flames? Please also have mercy on me, the millions of Goguryeo. The common people, the Yuan family has always been domineering, if they are allowed to do whatever they want, this country will be ruined."

"Forget it! If that's the case, then I will put on the battle armor again for your Majesty and the people." Ulji Wende thought for a while, and under the uneasy eyes of King Rongliu, he sighed and finally agreed. .

King Yeongliu asked about the current situation, and Eulji Mundeok said calmly: "Although we have lost the upper hand, we still have the advantage. This is the heart of Goguryeo, surrounded by ministers of civil and military affairs who are loyal to the royal family. As long as the surrounding generals get Knowing the situation in the inner city, we will definitely lead troops to rescue. What we have to do now is not to try to defeat the enemy, but to gather our forces in one place. Only when we have soldiers in our hands can we put down the rebellion. , is not enough to wipe out the Yuan Clan."

King Rongliu suddenly exclaimed: "The old general is really smart. As long as we gather our forces to control a domestic city, and wait for the army to gather in one place, the thieves will naturally be nothing to fear."

Ulji Wende sneered and said: "That's right! I expect the Yuan family's thieves will take a shortcut in order to take down the inner city as quickly as possible. Therefore, what you are going to do now, Your Majesty, is to appease people's hearts, um, my lord." Although I have not asked about the affairs of the world for many years, it still has some effect, Your Majesty may wish to mention one or two in the proclamation."

"Yes, yes, yes! The old general is my military god in Goguryeo. Although he has only been involved in state affairs for many years, the old general's position in the army is unrivaled. When the soldiers heard that the old general came out of the mountain, they must have heard the news. King Rongliu paused for a moment, took a small yellow bundle from his personal guard, and said solemnly, "Ulchi Wende accepts the order."

"Minister Ulji Wende listen to the order!" Ulji Wende bent down, but his heart was burning.

"From now on, Gu Bai Ulji Wende will be the Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, in charge of all military affairs, and bestow upon the former king the sword of Zhenguo. With this sword in hand, it is like visiting alone."

"Minister Ulji Wendeok accepts the order!" Ulji Wendeok accepted the sword seal excitedly, especially when he got the handsome seal, he felt like he got what he wanted. This handsome seal has followed him for a long time Those days were his most glorious moments.Now, it will also make him glow with glory.

Eulji Moondeok is convinced.
