Seven hundred and thirtieth eight chapters around the point to help
Chapter 738: Around the point and attack the support
Su Dingfang could not say that he knew Wang Ping'an's character, but he still knew Wang Ping'an's attitude towards doing things. If he had replaced other ministers, although he would not have been able to attack Baekje, he would have burned all the country of Goguryeo and captured the king of Goguryeo. The contribution of this was quite great, enough to brag for the rest of his life!
However, although this raid caused huge losses to Goguryeo, the loss was not fatal, because Goguryeo's main army was not destroyed, and the real powerful ministers in charge were not destroyed.
This means that Goguryeo will soon have a new king, and the powerful ministers will take advantage of the destruction of the country, inspire the Goguryeo people to fight against the Tang Dynasty and take crazy revenge, causing greater losses to the Tang Dynasty than they imagined!
If it was another minister, he would raid it and make a contribution. He would just leave. Others would do the subsequent war. Anyway, it would be a headache for others. But Wang Ping'an was not like this. The contribution was meaningless to him. If he wanted to do it, he would do practical things. Since he had hit Goguryeo, he would never stand up again... For him, it would be a waste of time!
Su Dingfang knew that Wang Ping'an would not just capture a puppet king and leave, but as his deputy, he still had to fulfill his obligations and remind Wang Ping'an. He said: "Prince, we have captured Xiao Chang'an. The Goguryeo army in the direction of Silla will inevitably come back regardless of everything, and reinforcements from all over the country will also come. In less than ten days, the troops of Goguryeo all over the country will gather here. At that time, we were afraid of more than 200,000 troops, and our army had only 10,000 people, and there was no support from the follow-up troops. The victory and defeat were unpredictable!"
Xue Renyi also came here at this time. When he heard Su Dingfang's words, he immediately understood that Wang Ping'an was going to stay and fight for help, but he agreed with this method. He said: "Prince, if you want to stay and do a big fight, you will definitely support me. Anyway, I have come here. If you don't do enough money, it would be a pity to go back. Maybe you won't have a chance to come again in the future!"
Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "It's not necessarily true that there is no chance again! Brother Su is right. In less than ten days, Goguryeo's reinforcements will arrive one after another, and maybe reach 200,000. But what about the 200,000 army? It can't go into battle together, and it's impossible to arrive together. The strength of a single battle is similar to ours, and maybe it's still weaker than us. Sweep him ten thousand today and kill him five thousand tomorrow. Let's go outside this city of Little Chang'an, and polish the Goguryeo army until the powerful minister who built it is back, and then give him a ruthless moment!"
Xue Renyi laughed and said, "Then let's pat our butts and get on the boat and leave!"
Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, that's it!"
Su Dingfang said: "I will swear to follow the prince to the death!" He clasped his fists and saluted Wang Ping'an. Xue Renyi also saluted and swore allegiance!
At this time, Tongzhi pointed to the captured Treasure King, as well as his concubines and children, and asked: "Prince, what should they do? But if they are to be executed on the spot, or should they be sent to the ship and taken back to the Tang Dynasty?"
Wang Ping'an said, "Sending back to the Tang Dynasty is just to raise it. Although it can shock foreign countries, it is not very meaningful. He asked him to write a letter of help, to give the thing that covers something, and to quickly lead his troops back to rescue. Remember, the letter should state that he was not captured and fled to the countryside outside the city. Our Tang army successfully raided and had retreated!"
Su Dingfang laughed and said, "Your Majesty uses this strategy, but you can't walk that thing to death!"
"It was him who died of walking!" Xue Renyi smiled.
After receiving the order from Wang Ping'an, Tongzhi immediately showed his power and stood in front of the Treasure King with his chest and belly. With a wave of his hand, the Qingzhou soldiers immediately pressed the Treasure King down and knelt in front of Tongzhi's feet!
It’s so proud of the translation. Look, as a translation, it’s a minor official, but who can get along with us like this, can actually make the dignified King of Goguryeo kneel down at his feet!
With the expression of the conqueror, General Encyclopedia was proud and arrogant: "Who, hehe, what about you, look up at me and let me see you!"
Wang Ping'an yelled and thought to himself: "This translation looks so proud!"
The Qingzhou soldiers grabbed the Treasure King's hair, raised his head, and spoke Goguryeo words in a whispering manner, and then shouted loudly with a wide eyebrow and glaring!
The Treasure King was already timid, and was "raised" by Yoon Gaisuwen since childhood. He had long lost all his backbone. He was shouted a few times by Tongzhi. He was so scared that he started to cry, and his wives and children were also scared to tears!
The translator turned his head and smiled and said to Wang Ping'an: "Prince, this treasure king is so scary. He has agreed and is willing to write a letter of help to send it to Yuen Gassuwen, and ask Yuen Gassuwen to come back to save him quickly, but he said that his golden seal was gone and he could not write a letter!"
Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "I asked him to write a letter because he was not dead. That thing that was built could not establish a new king, nor could it be moved to the capital. I really think he is still the king! There is no need to use any gold seal to cut his fingers and let him write a blood book. This is enough, and it can appear more urgent!"
Tongzhi hurriedly said, "Okay, let him write now!"
Wang Ping'an said: "After writing, take him up, remember to change his clothes, and don't let the news of his arrest leak." After that, he ignored the Treasure King, and left the yard and planned to deal with the matter of entering the city.
But as soon as I left the yard, I found that the current Goguryeo Palace had already caught fire. Half of the palaces were on fire, and the fire was burning very much, and it seemed that it could not be saved!
Of course, Wang Ping'an didn't plan to put out the fire, but he was angry and said, "Why are you so impatient? You burned the palace before you even got enough spoils. What a bunch of things that are losing your money!"
Xue Renyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, brothers are fast, you won't be able to pull down anything. Besides, we can't take too much, we can't take it. There are only a few ships coming in total, and there are too many things that cannot be transported back!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "This is right. Even if you find the ship again, you will probably not be able to get the sailors together!" The fire in the palace became more and more fierce. He didn't plan to stay any longer and led Su Dingfang and Xue Renyi out of the palace.
But outside the palace, it was not much better than inside. The fire in the whole city had begun to begin. In just a short period of time, the Qingzhou soldiers burst out with unparalleled destructive power. The whole city was filled with calls for revenge for the children of the Central Plains. The Qingzhou soldiers ran around, turning the prosperous little Chang'an into a sea of fire!
Wang Ping'an cursed, feeling helpless. These Qingzhou soldiers didn't listen to him much and fought fiercely, but they were not their own direct troops. As the main general, he was unable to restrain his subordinates, which was really unhappy!
He turned his horse's head and said, "Go out of the city. Also, hurry up and blow the trumpet and let the brothers gather outside the city."
Xue Renyi agreed and left to send an order. Wang Ping'an went out of the capital and went to find a place outside the city to rest.
But Wang Ping'an left the city and waited until dark, and the Qingzhou soldiers did not retreat. On the contrary, countless Goguryeo people who fled out escaped from the city and fled everywhere. The number of people increased. In the end, Wang Ping'an was scared, so he had to go into the city again under the protection of the guards and wait on the city wall!
Wang Ping'an sat in the city tower, his face as ugly as it was. Su Dingfang was also very angry. One of them was the commander and the other was the deputy general, but he could not command the army. Even if the orders of the assemblage were passed down, the soldiers and generals under him would be disobedient. This was too unreasonable!
The army successfully broke the capital of Goguryeo and had already won the victory, but the two main generals were afraid of being stepped on by thousands of Goguryeo refugees because of the insufficient staff of the guards around them, so they could only hide on the city wall. This embarrassment and breathing, no matter who was replaced, they would be full of anger!
Su Dingfang said: "Prince, this Xue Renyi is useless and he actually ignores your orders. Is that so great? If no one dares to use such subordinates, he can only make a living under his father's hands. However, the position of the Qingzhou general manager is not hereditary. As long as he sees it, he will be in great trouble sooner or later!"
After a pause, he looked around and saw that the Qingzhou soldiers were far away. He whispered: "Prince, although our Tang Dynasty wants to destroy Goguryeo, the court has always been to treat the enemy with kindness, especially not to burn the capital of the enemy. But look, when we go back, we will probably be severely involved by the old men in the court. Otherwise, let's first review Xue Renyi and push the blame?"
Wang Ping'an looked at the capital of Goguryeo, frowned and said, "Fortunately, the wind direction was not blowing towards us, otherwise we would have to become bacon! When it comes to studying his book, there is no need to do this, and we can't really study it first. We are in Goguryeo now. Even if we want to participate in it, we have to send a boat back, but we can't draw any manpower!"
The reason why Su Dingfang was troubled for many years was that he was implicated by others, so he was particularly sensitive to such things. Seeing that Wang Ping'an didn't care, he had to say again: "Then wait until we go back to participate. Anyway, we have to push the responsibility of burning here, otherwise we will be in danger."
Wang Ping'an said twice and thought, "Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the ropes for ten years. In the past, the old emperor was in power, so he naturally had to talk about the so-called benevolence and righteousness, but now the new emperor is sitting in the dragon court, so he doesn't care about this. What about Goguryeo? What's wrong with him? He may not even figure out where Goguryeo is yet!"
Wang Ping'an refused to comment. Seeing that he did not express his opinion, Su Dingfang had to shut up, but he kept thinking in his heart how to separate his relationship with Xue Renyi. If something happened in the future, he must not be implicated again!
After waiting for a long time, the fire in the city became louder and smoked all over the city. Only then did he hear the trumpet sounding in the city. A large number of Qingzhou soldiers began to retreat and retreated from the city. Wang Ping'an did not have to hide in the city and went out of the city to meet with the army.
