The black crow wrapped in flames and looked at the heavy armored soldiers lined up at the gate of the city wall. The sound of calling monsters on the city wall poured into everyone's ears like a tide. The bodies of these heavy armored soldiers who were determined to die couldn't stop trembling. A sudden cry sounded in the urn behind them.

It's not just the cry of one person, but the cry of several people.

They may have seen more corpses lodging on the ground, but in this atmosphere, they were actually scared to tears.

As one of the most loyal generals in the city to Gasuwen, Hei Chixu and Gasuwen were born and died and fought many arduous battles to defend the city. However, when he stood on the edge of the city wall, he looked at those who were scared to tears, his mouth was touched, but he could not make any sound for a moment.

In all the battles he fought, he has never been so depressed or so helpless.

Before this young Taoist leader of the Tang Dynasty came to Gaimu City, Gaimu City had fallen apart. It was not that they could not feel uncomfortable with the strength, but that their power was constantly disintegrating.

And when he actually came to the city of Gaimu, what he showed was more than powerful magical powers?

The temperament of everything under control, the power of looking at the entire city is like looking at an egg that can be broken at any time, without the equally powerful practitioners standing in the city of Gaimu, he was so desperate that he wanted to cry.

Some people are only good at conspiracy, which makes them feel particularly shameless. Some people only have powerful power but are not good at conquering cities and lands, but the person in front of them is almost perfect.

Of course, he also participated in the study of the Battle of Heishawa many times. These people are veterans on the battlefield, and the answers given by students in Chang'an's school are naturally different.

They felt that even if they were themselves, they would not be able to do better than Zanzhuo in that situation.

But in the battle of Heishavan, the future Taoist leader of the Tang Dynasty had obviously been pushed to his limit and was forced to take risks. If the general who confronted him in the end had a higher cultivation level, or had a somewhat hidden powerful magic weapon, the situation of the battle would be completely rewritten.

However, it is completely different now.

This practitioner who seemed immature in Heishawa back then had truly been reborn in Chang'an. Now even the shortcomings of his lack of cultivation have disappeared.

Such a person is standing in front of Gaimu City, leaving the army in the city without morale, making people feel that he is a great monster in Goryeo legend rather than a human. What can I do?

Even the Black Chixu, who was the most determined to fight under Gai Suwen, felt that it was impossible to solve the problem at this time.

At this moment, except for the crying of those few people, the city wall suddenly became quiet, and all the exclamations disappeared, and only the heavy breathing surging like the tides between heaven and earth.

"General!"

A hoarse cry came out from Heichixu's throat. When his voice sounded, Gasuwen had already jumped down from the city wall.

A deputy general behind Gasuwen raised a flag at this time, and the flag language means that everyone should not move.

"What is he going to do!"

Hei Chixu could no longer control his emotions. He flew to the side of the deputy general and asked sternly.

The deputy general looked at him, and the sound that squeezed out from his teeth was as cold as the ice ridges hanging on the city wall in winter. "He wants to end all this, and he doesn't want more people to become victims of those powerful conspiracies."

Heichixu turned around with difficulty, his eyes twitched, and he saw Gai Suwen had walked in front of Gu Liubai.

"It is my lifelong ambition and my glory for the country." Gai Suwen did not speak to Gu Liubai from the hillside, but walked to Gu Liubai's side before standing still, and said directly, "The soldiers on the front line fought to death, and it would be fine if these powerful families smuggled and did business later, but for the sake of profit, they would give this city directly to you, which is beyond my bottom line."

Gu Liubai looked at him with a faint smile and said, "What do you mean?"

Gai Suwen looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Since I have surpassed my bottom line, I will not have any bottom line, and I will not keep any promises. I will make the entire 30,000 troops in the city raid and strangle your 3,000 troops. I will ignore any orders from the top, and I will not care whether you are here to hand over Jingguan or do anything else."

Gu Liubai smiled.

His smile was filled with deep mockery, "Where is there a 30,000 army? The three thousand cavalrymen left, and the maximum is 27,000 in the city. If the opinions are not unified and the mutiny will be lost, at least another 5,000 will be lost. You can only use a little more than 20,000 army at most."

Gai Suwen said in a cold voice, "Twenty thousand is not enough?"

Gu Liubai looked at him calmly and said, "Don't think that this kind of bluffing threat is useful to me. You know very well in your heart whether it is enough. Thousands of us are all cavalrymen. Your cavalry has left, and the arrow army does not have enough arrows. Not to mention twenty thousand people, even thirty thousand infantrymen, you have left this city and come down, and they are just living targets for our cavalry. Our cavalry can shoot flowers."

Gassuvin remained silent.

His nickname is General Skeleton, and his face is like a gloomy skeleton. At this time, his face is gloomy in the darkness, and his face is even more like a layer of dark corpse energy.

"You are naturally very clear in your heart. Unless new reinforcements arrive, no matter the cavalry, or the team that transports you arrows, food, and other armies, they will not come." Gu Liubai said calmly, "Those who you think are shameless have many ways to make those teams not come for a month, but you can't fight or defend, and the morale in the city will be completely disintegrated within three days. No matter what your ambitions will be like in your life, you will naturally know in your heart that you can't guard this city at all, except for the futility of death."

After pausing, Gu Liubai smiled sarcastically again and said, "And I can make a bet with you to punish you or dismiss your documents, which will arrive earlier than those military aid. Since some people voluntarily die for the benefit of their own family, it is too simple to find a reason to remove your military power. Don't mention you, think about Duke Pei, what is his identity, what is your identity, and think about such a founding hero, the most important figure of the Tang Dynasty's military, why did he appear here with thousands of soldiers?"

Gai Suwen slowly raised his head, he smiled as if he was ridiculous, and then said, "What kind of benefits can Jin and Wen get?"

"This is not something you should care about. They can always get the benefits they want, but the reason is that they are a family. Only with such a foundation and status can they get benefits that others cannot get." Gu Liubai looked at Gai Suwen and said calmly, "What you have to consider now is what choice you want to make. Should you die in my hands to show your nobleness, or to minimize casualties as much as possible, so that the soldiers you brought out can return to your hometown alive."

Gasuwen fell silent again.

He really didn't have many choices, and any choice seemed to make Gu Shiwu a shadow in the hearts of many Goryeo generals. In the future, those Goryeo generals will be similar to those of Tubo people when facing this person.

They don't think this is a person, but they think that he is a god.

"Is it very disappointing?"

But Gu Liubai laughed, "Don't you ask me what I want to do?"

Gai Suwen looked at Gu Liubai, and a look of shock appeared on his face covered in gloomy face.

"Do you think this world is wrong?" Gu Liubai said calmly, "I just want to change this world."

The astonishment on Gasuwen's face turned into disbelief.

"What's the use of being angry? What's the use of always thinking about this unfairness?" Gu Liubai smiled, "No matter how unfair it is, don't think about it. Just do what's happening right? Is it for glory to guard the border for life? In order to prevent the enemy's army from entering his home, his home is gnawed into a sieve by borers, and he turns a blind eye to it. When this home completely rots? If you want to do something for a lifetime, you have to do something more meaningful."

Gasuwen's heartbeat was a little faster, and he finally couldn't help asking, "What the hell do you want to do?"

"Make this world more fair." Gu Liubai raised his head and said, "Someone has seen too many sadness and hunger everywhere, so they vowed to make people eat and wear warmth. From outside the pass to Chang'an, I have seen many clans' hands covering the sky, and have seen too many people like you who are depressed and unsuccessful and are fiddled in the palm of the powerful. I can't see too far now, but I think what Mrs. Zou does is very meaningful. If it can make children who are not clans have enough upward channels, so that they can also become important members of the court, those with ability will be valued and clans are supervised, the world will naturally become fairer for people like you."

After a pause, he looked at Gai Suwen who had not spoken for a while and said seriously, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has always wanted to change the chronic diseases that the family occupies. I am in Chang'an to allow poor students to play to their talents to get a college, which is just the beginning. If I can defeat the Li family's confidentiality office, I will suggest that the emperor reopen the counselor hall like the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let the people of the world supervise his behavior, rather than the Li family's confidentiality office supervising him and using dark internal strife to deal with him. I will help him implement the imperial examinations he envisioned, so that those young children of the aristocratic families and children of ordinary families will participate in the election fairly, and talents will be promoted."

Gai Suwen said somewhat disbelief, "Isn't it that you expand your territory and build achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve?"

"If you are strong enough, all nations will naturally surrender. If you are rotten and you forcefully capture other people's fertile soil, what's the use? Help the clans find more meat?" Gu Liubai looked at Gai Suwen and laughed, "But in the current situation, your Goryeo has been rotten, the royal family has become puppets, the clans are tyrannical, and they are secretly merciless. Such a dynasty has become corrupt. Even if you are supported by generals like you, it is just a pavilion supported by bamboo poles in the storm. It is only a matter of time to rot and collapse."

Gai Suwen nodded, then looked at Gu Liubai and said, "What is your plan in front of you? It was originally just to ensure the safety of Duke Pei. He took away two Jingguans, but he wanted to capture this city. You should understand that as long as you leave, you will still not be able to protect this city. Given the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, even if I give up this city, it will be taken back by us in the future."

"What do you think the meaning of these two Jingguans?" Gu Liubai smiled faintly and asked back.

Gai Suwen was slightly stunned.

"The power of the Tang Dynasty." Gu Liubai said calmly, "Although these two Jingguans are the heads left by the defeat of the Sui Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty expressed his intention to retake it. In fact, except for the fact that there is no difference between the Sui people and the Tang Dynasty, which can make him win more people's hearts, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty always makes people understand that the Tang Dynasty is different from the Sui Dynasty. To make the four barbarians surrender, it is not only the force, but also the Tang Dynasty can defeat the enemies that the Sui Dynasty cannot defeat. The current emperor is eager to defeat Goryeo and make Goryeo surrender, not just personal grudges, but to let the world see that the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty are absolutely different. The Tang Dynasty can defeat the enemies that the Sui Dynasty cannot defeat. The Tang Dynasty can take back the two Jingguans that the Sui Dynasty cannot obtain, so those families can make the emperor agree to the Duke Pei to temporarily hand over the military power and come here to attract the two Jingguans."

Gassuvin remained silent.

He just thought about how bad the Goryeo clans would be, so that they would hand over these two Jingguans under some kind of transaction.

The greatest sorrow is that there are soldiers but cannot fight, and the bloody nature is not allowed to be used.

"It's just that I'm never used to trading under conditions set by others, especially when I feel that this business is at a disadvantage." Gu Liubai looked at him and continued, "The Tang Dynasty needs reputation, and I also need reputation. Whether this city can be defended after it is taken down has nothing to do with me, but the entire Tang Dynasty will know that I will come to pick up these two Jingguans and go back, and will know that I have won the 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers to guard the Gaimu City, a city that even the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and any Tang general has never won. When a person's prestige reaches a certain level, what he wants to do will become much easier."

After listening to it, Gai Suwen looked at Gu Liubai stop talking. He was silent for a long time before saying, "It's just that if a person is not extremely powerful, even if he has great prestige, it may be difficult to accomplish anything."

Gu Liubai smiled and said, "The prestige I mentioned is not the same as the prestige you mentioned. You are considered to be a bit prestige in Goryeo, but the prestige you think is based on military achievements is the prestige that ordinary people can achieve, but the prestige I need is like a miracle, a prestige that ordinary people cannot reach at all."

Gai Suwen looked at Gu Liubai's quiet and confident face. He could not imagine why such a young man could have such a demeanor and insight, and the ambition to change the world.

"I have a younger brother who died in Fufeng County."

Gai Suwen took a deep breath and looked at Gu Liubai and said slowly, "My younger brother started following me at the age of seven. I looked for his practice methods. I watched him grow up step by step, and I was also very pleased that he could become a general of an elite army. He obeyed the orders to Fufeng County, and then he died in the Jiuqing Mountain Pass. When you come here, I hated you to the core. I can pay all the price. As long as I can kill you here, I still obey the orders of the king. I only

It was handing over Jingguan according to the order and giving up the plan of revenge. Whether you believe it or not, I don’t hate you at all now. I am just too disappointed with these powerful people. You are right. People like me, no matter how many battles they have won, are only the prestige of ordinary people, and are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those powerful people. We have died countless brothers, even if we are hungry and have to defend the city, can be thrown away like a pair of broken shoes because of their interests."

Gu Liubai smiled.

He thought of Xu Tuibei in Heishawa, and the old soldiers who were depressed and died in Heishawa, and his smile was filled with emotion.

"The things they insist on in their lifetime are just things they can throw away at will." Gai Suwen laughed, "You are right. If you think the world is unfair, it is meaningless to complain. They throw this city away like broken shoes, and I can throw them away like broken shoes. Anyone can easily do this kind of thing."

He said that anyone could do it easily, but his face was filled with pain.

He said extremely slowly, "I can give you greater prestige, conquering Gaimu City, guarded by 30,000 troops with 30,000 troops, and completing things that no one can do in history books is like a miracle, but what else is more shocking than a person like me who surrenders to you, condemns Goryeo, and serves you in the future?"

Gu Liubai looked at him calmly and said, "Of course I won't refuse, I just opened the bow and didn't turn back. You thought about it yourself before making such a decision. I just hope you don't think it's funny in the future. It's obviously our family and your family conspiring to plot against you, but you turn your head to serve me."

Gai Suwen turned around and looked at the countless figures on the city wall. Even though he was a few hundred steps away, most of them could even name them. He calmed down and said, "Actually, what you said just now also reminded me that as a general, you not only want to think about whether you can win this battle, but you need to think about how many soldiers who follow me can live well. Also, you also reminded me that the reason why I can become such a general is because my family is also a general family. I think it is unfair, but in fact it is very

Many capable people can only wear heavy armor at this time, and listen to my ability to fill my life. What’s ridiculous is that when I feel extremely disappointed, I feel that what I insist on before has no meaning. Now I think what you want to do is much more interesting. Without any other choice, I would rather be described as a traitor by Goryeo's history books, and I also have to find a way to entrust the lives of some people to more trustworthy people. And those families who regard royal families as puppets, at least you are more capable and more credible."

After pausing, he looked at Gu Liubai and said seriously, "I just want to hear a certain answer. Those Goryeo people who are as disappointed with Goryeo as me, or those poor children who are unable to perform their skills in Goryeo, will they be treated the same as those Tang people in the future after entering the academies you mentioned?"

Gu Liubai smiled, "I can't guarantee anything else. If I have become a Tang family, I will be a Tang people. As long as I am still the leader of the Tang Dynasty, I can still stand firm in Chang'an. So you can find me any of the things you feel are at a disadvantage. As for whether you can show off your strength, it depends on whether you are worthy."

Gai Suwen bowed seriously to Gu Liubai.

His attitude made many people on the city wall scream.

"After the sunrise, I will bring the generals who can be persuaded by me to the military camp of Duke Pei, and I will hand over this city." Gasuwen said calmly before turning around and leaving.

"It doesn't need to be too early." Gu Liubai said with a smile, "I have to go back and have a good sleep."

...

"Ga Suwen and the city were brought to you, but what did you say? It doesn't take too early and you have to go back and sleep for a while?" Shen Ruoruo listened to Gu Liubai's complacent statement and couldn't help but complain, "Can you change the problem of pretending? You still have to pretend at this time?"

Gu Liubai smiled slightly and said, "Not only do you have to pretend, I also want Duke Pei to record these two sentences in the military situation, and also spread them well."

Shen Ruoruo frowned. She knew that Gu Liubai must have some intention, but she couldn't think of it for the moment.

Gu Liubai smiled and said, "Why don't you eat meat? You have different preferences from the ordinary people in the streets and alleys. So you can't understand the fun of ordinary people. They don't think there is any exciting behind the planning of such things. Sometimes they don't care how to win the battle. They only know that it's enough to win. But sometimes they will talk about it for a long time with one or two interesting words. They don't think I pretend, they just think that Gu Daoshou is Gu Daoshou. The enemy's skeleton general surrendered voluntarily. He also said that there is no need to go back and have a good sleep. This is not pretending, it's calmness to plan."

"puff!"

Shangguan Zhaoyi laughed out loud.

Although Gu Shiwu's words seemed to be fun, she knew it was true.

Like the stories passed down from various dynasties in the past, many generals are brave but not well-known among the people. However, some scenes are always talked about, such as a general who scolds others harshly, which makes the enemy so angry that he falls off his horse. For example, a person's loud shout scares the other general to death.

Gu Liubai, don’t come early today, I have to go to bed later, and it is probably a story that will be passed down for a long time.

"You can sleep?" Shen Ruoruo gave Gu Liubai a blank look, "You gave Li a letter of war like that. Now I don't know what the situation is in Chang'an. Before the latest news about Chang'an has been spread, aren't you worried about Miss Pei's safety?"
