C275 (2/2)
However, before the war started, before Yang Lin even had the time to look at the terrain, an envoy from the Gaoguanli came down from the Linjiang Pass. She said that the envoy was from the King Koguryo, and was waiting for the Han army in the Linjiang Pass.
”Lord General, the big size man is from the Upper Sky Empire and the Gaoguanli is a subordinate state. The Gaoguellian admired the glory of the Emperor and paid tribute to him year after year without missing a single courtesy. Furthermore, the Gaoguanli was once bestowed with the title and protection of the heavens. Right now, Gaoguanli has never violated the heavens, why would she invade our territory? Is this the will of the world, or is this the doing of the Lord General? ”
The envoy from Gaoguanli was a middle-aged man who was in her forties. She was dressed in scribe clothes and called herself Li Mu. When they met each other, they would ask Yang Lin loudly and unceremoniously, reprimanding him for a while.
Do I need a reason to hit you?
Yang Lin could not help but think of the super powers of the future generations. He had fought in wars almost every year, fighting against nations one after the other. He hated you and wanted to beat you up! Your family is rich, he wants to hit you! If you buy a kitchen knife, he will beat you up even if he feels the same way! He won't miss you until you hang a piece of rabbit skin on your ass.
Now that things had gotten to this point, with the armies of the four roads almost surrounding Gaoguanli, only then did they think of protesting, what was the use of it? But this Li Mu came here to protest with such fanfare, in order to conquer the Gaoguanli with reason, Yang Lin had no choice but to give an explanation. Otherwise, he would not have a name for himself!
”Gaoguanli is originally just a county under the jurisdiction of the Xuantu County, its territory is less than a hundred miles, but you all treated the decree of my Darky Court as if it were nothing, and not only did you take over Fu Yu, Morvo, and the Dong Su Clan, you also took over Xuantu County and the other counties, don't you all think that you have greatly offended the Emperor?”
After saying a few words, Yang Lin became even angrier. When all of you were wantonly seizing the men, did you ever think that there would be a day you would get your revenge? Thinking of this, Yang Lin glared at Li Mu fiercely.
”This general has duty to guard the land, to take back the lost lands of the imperial government is my duty. It is only natural, there is no need to explain anything to you! If you submit to the Darky Court and know your duties as his subordinate, you should disband your troops and obey his orders. If you disobey the royal decree and disobey it, you will be traitors. I will lead my army and destroy you! ”
Li Mu's mouth opened a few times, but he was so angry that he could not say a word. No matter what, the Gaoguanli was once a county of the Xuantu County, he could not deny that. The Han Army did not need to find any reason to openly occupy the Gaoguanli.
”Lord General is right! Could this be the king of this world? Could it be the king of this land? Gaoguanli is a vassal of our big sized men, you betrayed the imperial government and contested us on your own, where do you think the Darky Court is? What face did such a disobedient thief have to turn the tables and spout nonsense? If you surrender early and the Lord General showed mercy, perhaps they would spare your lives. ”If you continue to persevere, when the army arrives, we will exterminate all nine of you!”
Zhang Banxian couldn't hold it back anymore. The moment Yang Lin finished speaking, he jumped out and started cursing. In the past, when he was counting people's fortunes, he had seen a lot of people cursing in the streets and had personally gone to practice on the battlefield. Ever since he started following Yang Lin, he did not have the chance to scold others again. If Yang Lin was not present, he might have already cursed out.
Originally, Yang Lin was infuriated to the point of being unable to say anything, but Li Mu was still unconvinced and disagreed with what he said. But Zhang Banxian's words had truly stabbed Li Mu in the vitals, causing Li Mu to feel waves of coldness from the depths of his heart.
He had arrogantly scolded the Chinese army. Even if the Chinese army didn't come to kill him out of etiquette, if they were to take over the Gaoguanli in the future, where would the people of his own whole family flee to?
Zhang Banxian scolded and scared, scaring Li Mu until he became dejected and didn't dare to make a sound. However, Yang Lin was extremely delighted in his heart. This victory was even more exciting than commanding a horse to fight a great battle. He suppressed the happiness in his heart and spoke seriously: ”Return and tell the King of Gaoguanli to surrender as soon as possible, so that they will not perish together!”
”This official understands and will definitely pass on Lord General's words to the His Majesty the King.” Li Mu replied softly. He no longer had that arrogance from before. He bowed and left Yang Lin's tent. He was confident and confident when he came, but dejected when he left.
Standing in front of the Linjiang Pass, Yang Lin couldn't help but frown. Linjiang Pass was built on a mountain ridge between two mountain peaks, which was around five kilometers long, and was the only way to enter the Lieutenant's Rock. Not only was the wall tall, but it was also very thick. There were more than a hundred thousand soldiers defending the city. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to take down the city walls.
”Lord General, what are you worried about? Why don't we use the Thunderbolt Bomb to blow up the city walls?” When Zhang Banxian saw that Yang Lin's frown was getting tighter and tighter, she couldn't help but laugh. Ever since they had Thunderbolt Bomb, the Zhang Banxian had never thought about capturing the city walls.
