Turbulent Times Chapter 1116: All kinds of selfish courtiers

"Long live the report, I have a report!" Liu Shilong, the Shangshu Youcheng next to him, felt a little guilty when he saw that everyone refused to accept the emperor's fault.

Because the capture of Goguryeo with good intentions made the Goguryeo people feel the benevolent heart of the emperor of heaven, this is what he first told Yang Guang.

Originally, that's what he said, and he didn't say anything substantive. Civil servants are used to playing this kind of word games in front of Yang Guang, but Yang Guang took it seriously and gave the army orders, which led to Goguryeo. Commander-in-chief Yuan Tae-jo played fake surrender over and over again to delay the fighter.

He has already heard the news that the twelve generals are very dissatisfied with him, and he dare not leave Yang Guang's side at all these days, otherwise he will be sent by a certain angry general out of nowhere Kill him secretly, and then push it to the Goguryeo assassin.

Liu Shilong decided to take the initiative to speak for the 12 generals in order to find a chance.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Yang Guang glanced at Liu Shilong and said calmly. Unlike the twelve generals, Yang Guang didn't think that his two intentions to release goodwill to the Goguryeo people seriously interfered with the army's siege and seriously weakened the morale of the army, so he didn't mean to blame Liu Shilong.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Liaodong city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may not be a blessing for our army to be trapped in a fortified city for a long time!" Liu Shilong bowed, not daring to look at Yang Guang, and said in a low voice. played.

"Hahaha... the city wall is so tall, is it taller than the city wall of Luoyang City, and is the Daliang River deeper than the Yangtze River?" I can't take the land. If I have never led an army, don't I know how to attack the city?"

Liu Shilong's face was reddened by Yang Guang's arrow-like questions. After panting for a long time, he replied tremblingly: "I don't dare, I just feel that it will be useless if we continue to waste like this!"

As soon as Yang Guang's question came out, the imperial tent became lively in an instant, and the twelve generals who had long wanted to tear Liu Shilong's body into pieces immediately started to attack.

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu cannot shirk his responsibility for the ministers' failure to break through Liaodong City." The relatively young Zuowuwei General Wang Rengong couldn't bear it first, stepped forward and said loudly

said: "Your Majesty, whenever we gain the upper hand, Goguryeo will surrender. It is Liu Shilong's so-called benevolence and righteousness, which prevents us from continuing to attack. This is why the army is exhausted. I hope that Your Majesty will order Liu Shilong to be beheaded." , and allow us to attack on our own. Goguryeo is already exhausted, and Liaodong is just around the corner!"

Liu Shilong's face turned pale from fright, and he retorted in a hissing voice: "Your Majesty, I have wronged you. General Wang is slandering you. For the past month, you have tried to attack Liaodong City without success. How dare you make the siege unfavorable?" Give me a civil servant to shirk the responsibility."

"From March to May, the veterans and soldiers were exhausted, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Naturally, they could not take down a strong city. If our army took advantage of the Liaohe victory to risk their lives to attack, I am afraid not only Liaodong City would have already changed hands, Wu Bone and the second domestic city are no problem!" Wang Rengong shouted angrily.

He once suggested to His Majesty the emperor that his troops should be swift and swift, and his troops should strike swiftly. But this suggestion was rejected by Yang Guang. Just because Liu Shilong proposed to attack Liao this time, he is a benevolent and righteous army, and he either does not send troops, or he attacks in an upright manner. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor happened to like the momentum of Chen Bing's millions of soldiers advancing side by side, so he was unwilling to win by tricks, so he listened to Liu Shilong's statement.

In Wang Rengong's view, fighting is not about traveling in mountains and rivers, and you can't talk about ostentation. There is no benevolence, righteousness or morality on the battlefield, and tactics that can defeat the enemy are good tactics.

Seeing that Wang Rengong and Liu Shilong had quarreled on the spot, all the generals stepped forward to help. All the generals believed that the long-term attack on Liaodong was held back by a few pedantic officials headed by Liu Shilong. Although the civil officials were dissatisfied with Liu Shilong, they couldn't take it for others, and immediately gathered together to criticize the generals for their incompetence. All of a sudden, the imperial tent became a mess. All the ministers, you talk about your reasoning, and I talk about my evidence. It is more lively than a rural fair.

"Enough!" Yang Guang became angrier as he listened, and kicked Yu An away. Memorials, documents, paper, pens and inks all flew up and scattered everywhere.

When the noisy ministers saw the imperial case flying in mid-air, they already knew that Yang Guang was out of breath. The whole team quickly stood up, and at the same time bowed to make amends: "I was in a hurry for a while, and I was rude in front of the emperor, please punish me!"

"What are you punishing? You are talking about how the army can capture this Liaodong City." Yang Guang rarely asked the ministers

Ask for advice.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to conquer the fortified city in front of me quickly!" Yu Wenshu maintained his identity and never participated in the dispute between the two sides.

"Say, what can you do?" Yang Guangchang took a deep breath, trusting Yu Wenshu.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Taizuo, the clown, has offended me, Sui Tianwei. Your Majesty is tolerant, and has repeatedly given him the opportunity to reform himself, and refuses to attack with all his strength, but he deceives Your Majesty to have kind thoughts in his heart and repay virtue with hatred!" Yuwen said this The words are very beautiful, that is, directing the anger to Yuan Taizuo of Goguryeo, and by the way, raising the responsibility for the unfavorable wars some time ago to the moral height of the celestial dynasty's tolerance and shamelessness.

Yu Wenshu may be the person who knows Yang Guang best in the world today. He knows that Yang Guang's love for face has reached the extreme. At this time, he must not get entangled in the issue of Liu Shilong, because Yang Guang knows very well that it is him. After accepting Liu Shilong's opinion, you came out to impeach Liu Shilong. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Yu Wenshu is well aware of Yang Guang's character, and knows that as long as he can win Yang Guang's favor, if he makes some mistakes occasionally, not only will he not pursue them, but he will take the initiative to cover them up for you. In front of him is an excellent opportunity to please His Majesty the Emperor without offending the ministers, so he cannot miss it.

"Well, I was indeed too lenient towards Goguryeo!" Yang Guang nodded, finally admitting his mistake from the side.

Yu Wenshu was still able to speak, His Majesty the Emperor showed some approval in his eyes, and patiently listened to Yu Wenshu's plan to break the city.

"Your Majesty, since the clown Yuan Taizuo doesn't know what is good or bad, His Majesty should let him see Tianwei. I thought that it was raining heavily and the Daliang River was rushing, but the heavens wanted His Majesty to dig the Daliang River to flood Liaodong City. .” Yu Wenshu changed a very beautiful statement, and mentioned the sky, trying to persuade Yang Guang to adopt this plan.

But Yu Wenshu didn't know that on the way here, Pei Shiju also suggested the same way, and was scolded by Yang Guang just now.

Yu Shiji was present at the time, so he knew that His Majesty the Emperor would not agree to this plan. He thought it was a great opportunity for him to perform, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, this plan is very good, but the damage is a bit too much, and it may hurt Tianhe." !”
