Chapter 456 Gathering the Numbers

Goguryeo front line.

Gaeyuan Suwen has been here for two days. He came in secret the first two days, so even some Goguryeo generals did not know that the Prime Minister had arrived at the front line.

The Prime Minister has no choice but to come here. He already knows that Goguryeo has no way out. He had various plans before, but now they are of no use. The Tang Dynasty has put the negotiations aside. The doors were closed, so they had no way out except to resist to the end.

Gaewon So-moon and the King of Goguryeo discussed it, and Gae-won So-moon prepared to go to the front line in person and let the King of Goguryeo provide logistics from behind.

The two of them seemed extremely harmonious when discussing this matter. It took just one meal for the two of them to discuss this important matter. Since the last time the lobby closed the door to negotiation, both of them were better than before. They have grown up a lot over time, and both of them know that they can no longer fight. Now that we are tied together, we may still have a 10% chance of winning, but if we continue to fight, it will really be a dead end.

After Gai Yuan Suwen came to the front line, he did not notify other generals. Instead, he wandered around the front line for two days incognito as a private visit. If he had not wandered for these two days, Gai Yuan Suwen might still have some confidence in his heart, but in these two days Time has passed and he has no confidence at all. The real situation is worse than what was reported.

There were originally two lines of defense along the Datong River, one in the north of the Yangtze River and one in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now the Jiangbei defense line is impossible. Everything has been destroyed. They don't even have a single spy in Jiangbei. Two hundred thousand Tang troops have blocked the riverside. Anyone who dares to come will be killed immediately.

The Jiangnan defense line claims to have 200,000 troops, but after the Prime Minister's inspection, let alone 200,000 troops, it is quite good to be able to gather 100,000 troops. Some of them have been withdrawn from Jiangbei. The army, but after these people set foot on the land of Jiangnan, the first thing they did was to take off their clothes, and then blended in with the flow of refugees and fled for their lives.

These people are not fools. They saw the power of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangbei. If they continue to stay in the army, they will be irresponsible for their own lives. After returning home, they will have to flee to the mountains with their families. Go to the old forest, that way there is still a glimmer of hope. After hiding for a year and a half, the outside world will probably stabilize. If you stay at home, when the Tang army comes to kill, the whole family may become slaves.

"Where is Jin Weikang and Zhang Jinnan?"

After arriving at the Goguryeo camp, Gae Yuan Suwen revealed his identity and called the two generals with the largest vacancies. After these two people saw the expression on the Prime Minister's face, they immediately understood that it was What's going on? The two of them retreated from Jiangbei. At that time, each of them had seven or eight thousand soldiers. But now they have two people combined, and they can't even make up for three thousand. Prime Minister How can adults not get angry?

"You two have committed such a heinous crime and almost made the entire country pay the price. Drag me down and behead you."

Gai Yuan Suwen is still very capable of iron-blooded methods. He knows that at this time, he must use blood to establish his power. If he just says a few words, these people below may not take him seriously, so he must let them Only after seeing real blood can they find a way to fill up enough people. Although recruiting ordinary people to serve as soldiers does not bring much combat effectiveness, it is better than nothing, right?

"Prime Minister, please spare my life..."

The two of them wanted to explain, but the soldiers from the capital of Goguryeo didn't give them this chance and dragged the two people out. Then there were two screams. The two of them were already dead. It's somewhere else.

When the other generals saw the miserable situation of the two men, they began to tremble a little in their hearts. Although their military camp was slightly better than these two men, it was not much better. The best ones only had half of the soldiers left, mainly Because these people have nowhere to go and are simply singles, so they can only stay here except the military camp. It doesn't mean that they don't want to run away.

Other generals also know that fighting with such an army is simply child's play. When the Tang army rushes over, don't expect these people to be able to stand in front and fight. They are probably the first ones to run away. But we can't say this, even if it's the Kingdom of Goguryeo, we have to be alive now. If you say this, the Prime Minister will probably kill you to sacrifice the flag.

"Other ministries, please listen to me. I will give you five days to make up the difference. If you still can't make up the difference after five days, even if you are missing one person, I will kill you. "

After hearing what the Prime Minister said, several generals would stand up and defend themselves. In normal times, there were indeed many people living by the river, and it would not be difficult to make up the difference. But everyone knew that Datang The army has been prepared, and Jiangbei is about to cross the river to fight. They are not fools. Of course they will not continue to live by the river. They have already gone to the capital. Even if they want to make up for the difference, they should start there. From the beginning, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we may not be able to find enough people.

But these people looked at the dark face of the Prime Minister. If you dare to say it, then the unlucky person must be you. Now the Prime Minister has lost his mind, then we have no other way. In order to save us The only way to save your own life is to bring all the people around you, regardless of whether they are old people or children, or whether they are women or pregnant women. As long as it counts as a head, you must bring them here.

After Gai Yuan Suwen finished speaking, he did not disturb these people. He also thought that they could save time and asked them to go out to recruit soldiers quickly. He also told them that the new soldiers must be trained.

The generals below agreed, but felt bitter in their hearts. If all we capture are women, even if you train them, will they have combat effectiveness on the battlefield? I can't control that much now. I have to fulfill the Prime Minister's order first. No matter if it's a town or a village around me, even if you are an official's family member, you have to come first and pay me this amount, or else I'll kill you! ! !
