Gao Jianwu never thought that he would one day face such a severe situation since he was born.
The key point is that this matter is not only severe, but also a bit scary and unfamiliar.
In the past, when his father was on the throne, Gao Jianwu was told from an early age that Goguryeo was so cold that the Han people couldn't afford food and shelter. As long as you work hard to learn how to ride a horse and fight, make sure you don't lose your place. No matter which way the Han court in the south changes, it will definitely be better.
Nothing can be done to you.
Gao Jianwu has always believed this, because since he was a child, he not only tried to practice archery according to his father's name, but also read a lot of Han military books and Goguryeo historical materials.
I also know...the world of the Han people has been gradually declining since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and none of the imperial courts established later are reliable. Goguryeo seems not as big as the Tang Dynasty, and its population and soldiers are not as large as the Tang Dynasty, but it is not a waste of time.
Yes, no matter what, the Xianbei people can definitely endure hardships better than the Han people. With the protection of the severe cold and heavy snow, Goguryeo is even safer than I imagined.
There is even a saying that after Gao Jianwu understood the historical data of Goguryeo, he also knew that Goguryeo did not encounter attacks from the Han Dynasty in the south, but encountered attacks from the Han Dynasty many times -
And then what?
Goguryeo was alive and kicking, and it continues to this day!
What Han army? I'm not afraid at all. But this time...
The situation is different. The momentum of the Tang army is too strong. It is not like the posture of the Han army in the Southern and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years. You can even clearly feel that this army is now...a rebirth.
the taste of.
The terrifying smell of a ferocious beast tearing apart the decayed old fur and growing white and red muscles again.
Now Gao Jianwu could smell this smell clearly, it was running rampant in his nasal cavity, and he kept sneering.
This is disgusting.
Gao Jianwu is now thinking...what should I say?
He pulled his father up from the coffin and asked him a question on his head.
Father, this is so different from what was promised!
When you were in power, the Han army in the south was not so outrageous, okay?
Even if there are some outrageous ones, they are usually Han careerists who split from the Turkic ranks in the northwest, or under the banner of Goguryeo here.
But this kind of power generally doesn't last long. It either dies quickly and suffers a bloody blow, or it rises quickly and then... and then quickly decays into the same strange appearance as the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The most typical example is Gao Yang of the Great Wei Dynasty. This guy was once considered to be the one who could really inherit the mantle of his father Gao Huan and expand the country of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Even looking at Gao Yang's early actions, he even had a relationship with Li Er.
Somewhat similar...but soon Gao Yang began to fall ill. No one knew why this guy started to fall ill, but in short, the Eastern Wei Dynasty fell to death like the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I don’t know how many dynasties there have been in the north and south, but I have never seen anyone who truly has the kind of temperament of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, not angry and self-powerful, similar to the regime of the Han Dynasty. The troops sent out... were very fierce at first, but soon followed.
Just pulled it.
But now, Gao Jianwu can clearly feel the difference... This feeling of being different from the past is too clear and strong.
And with such a terrifying opponent in front of him, he was even more desperate.
Gao Jianwu looked at the generals in front of him with a dark face,
"Do you have anything to say now?"
The words came out in a bad tone, but Gao Jianwu didn't mean to hide it.
The reason is very simple... No, to be precise, Gao Jianwu means very simple.
Damn it, I asked for peace back then, but as a result, each of you is very brave now and then.
Now, as a result, dozens of cities were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
but……
Although Gao Jianwu's anger was clearly visible, the faces of the generals in the palace were very aggrieved, and their eyes showed a fierce and ferocious fighting spirit.
In the face of crisis and pressure, people usually react in two ways. Take the common economic pressure in later generations as an example. If a person feels very short of money...then the first reaction is usually not to work hard and work hard, but to suffer from depression.
Either he dies, or he gets lucky and starts to cause trouble. The former is exemplified by the nobles of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who traveled south in finery, while the latter is exemplified by the later heads of state...
At this moment, the state of these Goguryeo generals is the latter. No matter whether they can win or not, if the Tang army comes over, they will fight even if they can't win. At least they will cause a wave of blood!
This simple and simple warrior's thinking exists in the mind of every general in the palace at this moment.
Gao Jianwu didn't see it that way. He felt that this idea was too cerebral.
If there are some who are very good at fighting this, and those who are obviously invincible are still beaten hard, wouldn't it mean that Goguryeo will be completely destroyed?
I, Goguryeo, have also been the overlord of Mobei for many years, but I was directly wiped out by a Han court. Isn't this too funny!
So in comparison, Gao Jianwu values another person's opinion more than this group of people.
After sweeping his gaze for a week and glaring at all the animals, Gao Jianwu looked at Yeon Gaesumun.
"As for you, Lu, what do you think about this matter?"
When Gao Jianwu asked this question, Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath.
Frowning!
In terms of martial virtue, Yeon Gae So-moon's martial virtue is no less than that of these gangsters.
——Otherwise, when the Tang Dynasty quietly increased its strength and quietly began to explore the South China Sea, Yuengai Suwen would not have sent troops to harass and confront the line.
Because he was the first to feel that something was wrong. It was... the feeling that an opponent who had been facing each other for many years suddenly began to change. This feeling first arose in Yeon Gaesumun's brain when he read the information, and now it finally spread.
It reached the minds of everyone in Goguryeo.
But Yeon Gaesomun was also the first to take action against this situation, even though the results were not good.
But now...
Although he wasn't scared - it was absolutely impossible to joke.
But Yeon Gaesomun can also understand where Gao Jianwu's anger lies - each of these generals and colleagues want to use force to solve the problem, but the problem is that Yeon Gaesomun is different from this group of people. This group of people wants to use force to repel the Tang Dynasty's forces.
, because they felt that the Tang army could rely on force! As long as everyone fought together...
This belief cannot be said to be wrong, and no one, not even Yeon Gaesomun, will think it is wrong. But the belief that victory is inevitable is a good thing in the long run.
Having this kind of belief in the pressure and difficulties that come before you is not called courage, this is called luck...
