"What?" When the father said he wanted to lead his troops to Bogoukou in person, Quan Nanjian couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Then Quan Nanjian said first, "Father, why do you have such an idea? Although Bogoukou is dangerous, it is not as strong as Pyongyang City. Why is my father looking far away?"

"It's not that I want to go far and wide, but that I have carefully considered it. The high and deep city of Pyongyang can be called a famous city in the world. With such a city, there seems to be great hope to block the Tang army. As long as it is dragged until winter, the Tang army will have to withdraw its troops."

When he said this, Quanga Suwen paused for a moment and then said, "But don't forget that when it comes to the most solid cities in the world, there are the big cities of the Tang Dynasty, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, etc. The boys have been to the Tang Dynasty, and they should have seen such big cities, right?"

When I heard my father suddenly ask about myself, the boy from Quan was stunned, and then immediately reacted and said, "Yes, I had the honor to have seen Luoyang City. Before I saw Luoyang City, I always thought that Pyongyang was the strongest and tall city in the world. But when I saw Luoyang, I realized that Pyongyang is really different from it. Even some less famous cities in the Central Plains can be compared with our Pyongyang City."

"Yes, the national strength of our Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty is too different. Even if a capital like Pyongyang is in the Central Plains, it is just a very ordinary city. The people in the Central Plains have always been good at building solid big cities, so they are also good at defending the city. On the other hand, those who are good at defending the city must also be good at attacking the city. You can see this from the Tang army's record. Even Anshi City has only been withstood for half a month, and most of the other cities cannot last for ten days. How long do you think we can last for Pyongyang?" Quan Gai Suwen couldn't help but ask back at the end.

When he heard his father's words, Quan Nanjian couldn't help but look at each other, and didn't know how to answer for a while. In fact, although what Quan Gai Suwen said was true, as a Goguryeo, it was not easy to make them truly realize from the bottom of their hearts that Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty were far from each other.

Especially because during the Former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains army was defeated three times by Goguryeo, and the Jingguan, which was piled up with the corpses of the army, was still on the east bank of the Liao River, which gave the Goguryeo people a psychological advantage when facing the Tang army. They felt that the people of the Central Plains were just like this, and even Quan Gai Suwen had this mentality, so they sent Gao Yanshou to lead an army of 150,000 to take the initiative to face the enemy, which led to a disastrous defeat at the city of Anshi.

However, the 150,000 army was destroyed, but Quanga Suwen woke up. After calm thinking these days, he finally faced the gap between his own side and the Tang army. At the same time, he also understood that although Pyongyang City was strong, the dangerous terrain at the Bogoukou was more beneficial to them, so he made the decision to lead troops to garrison at Bogoukou. If even Bogoukou could not stop the Tang army, it could only be said that God would destroy them Goguryeo.

"Father, is there really no other way?" The boy Quan pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and asked with grief. As the eldest son, he was also the one who knew Quan Gai Suwen the best. He even guessed at this time that Quan Gai Suwen was probably already dying when he went to the Pogoukou this time.

"The Tang army is coming with great momentum, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is also ambitious and is determined to destroy our Goguryeo. Now the Tang army has the advantage, so they will naturally not withdraw their troops easily. We will no longer fight hard!" Quan Gai Suwen also sighed at this time. He originally killed Queen Rongliu and thought he could become the number one person in Goguryeo, but he did not expect that it would attract a large-scale invasion from the Tang army in less than a year, and maybe Goguryeo would even die in his hands.

"Father, people in the Central Plains have always liked false reputations, so can they send people to seek peace, give some money and beauties, or even cede some of the land to the other party, maybe they can let the Tang army retreat?" The boy Quan suggested again at this time.

"You are too naive. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was determined to destroy us was not to covet the money and land in our hands, but because the former Sui San was defeated by our Goguryeo, so the Tang Dynasty wanted to prove that they were stronger than the former Sui Dynasty. It can be said that in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, we are the touchstones of the Central Plains dynasty. Either the Tang Dynasty cut off our touchstones, or the knife in the hand of the Tang Dynasty broke. There was no second possibility!" Quan Gai Suwen sneered when he heard his son's words.

Hearing his father's words, the boy Quan couldn't help but show a hesitant expression. After a while, he spoke tentatively again: "If the Tang Dynasty is determined to destroy us, and with the current situation in China, he is really unable to resist the Tang army, so I think it's better..."

"Stop!" Before the boy from Quan finished speaking, Quan Gai Suwen roared and interrupted him, because he knew what his son was going to say, and then said very annoyedly, "Our boy from Quan family stands tall and stands tall, even if he dies in the battlefield, he will not insult his ancestors. But if he bows his knees and surrenders to the enemy, then what kind of face will he have to live in the world in the future?"

Quan Gai Suwen was strong-willed and never thought about surrendering in her mind. So when she heard that her son wanted to surrender, she immediately became angry. When Quan boy saw his father getting angry, he immediately lowered his head and dared not say anything else.

Quan Nanjian next to him couldn't help but show a happier expression on his face when he saw his elder brother being scolded. And he naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity, so he immediately spoke: "What my father said is that our Quan family men must not surrender. Moreover, this time the Tang army was under the banner of revenge for the glory of the king, so even if we were willing to surrender, the Tang army would not let us go!"

Hearing these words from the second son, Quan Gai Suwen's anger on his face also reduced a little bit. He nodded and said, "Nan Jian, you are quite knowledgeable. There must be many people in China who secretly contact the Tang Dynasty. I also know all of these. But others can surrender, but I must not surrender. The Tang Dynasty will not let me surrender, so we can only fight to the end!"

"Father forgive me, but my son knows that he is wrong!" When Boy Quan heard his father praise his younger brother, he immediately admitted that he was the eldest son, Boy Quan was the most loved by his father because he not only looked like his father, but also had a very similar personality. Therefore, he was also highly valued by his father and even gave him military power, which made Boy Quan feel a sense of crisis.

If it were normal, Quan Gai Suwen would probably scold Quan boy hard, but today he didn't seem to be in a swearing mood. He said again: "Forget it, don't mention surrender again in the future. This time I will lead my troops to Bogoukou, and Nanjian will go with me. I will leave it to the boys here in Pyongyang City!"

"Don't worry, my father, I will never let any trouble happen in Pyongyang City!" Seeing that his father did not blame him, he also handed over all the matters behind him to deal with. He was overjoyed and then promised loudly, which made Quan Nanjian glar at his elder brother with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm relieved of your ability. The Tang army is coming in a fierce manner this time, and I don't know when they will reach Bogoukou, so I decided to set off in three days. Your most important task is to ensure smooth logistics, so that we can have more confidence to block the Tang army!" Quan Gai Suwen reminded again at this time, as the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first, especially for defending the city, there are more materials needed, so there must be no problems with the logistics.

"My son understands that he will definitely do his best to protect the supplies of the front army!" The boy Quan said again.

"Brother, my father and I have all handed over your lives. You must not let us down!" At this moment, Quan Nanjian suddenly spoke, and his words also implicitly sarcastic.

"Don't worry, second brother, I can still distinguish the importance of the matter. I wish you a victory for your father and second brother, first!" The boy Quan smiled and said with a smile.

Quan Nanjian encountered a soft nail and felt a little bored at the moment. However, Quan Gai Suwen glared at his two sons at this time, and then discussed with them the specific matters of leading troops to Bogoukou. This made Quan Nan brothers also put away their hostile attitude, expressed their opinions and opinions, and finally formulated a plan.

After the matter was discussed, it was already noon. Quan Gai Suwen asked someone to prepare lunch, and then his two sons accompanied him to have a meal. Perhaps because of a decision, Quan Gai Suwen felt much more relaxed and had a great time having lunch.

After dinner, the boy and the boys in Quan were about to say goodbye and leave, but at this time, the boys in Quan Gai Suwen suddenly said, "You go back first, let the army be ready to set off. You can keep it, I have something to say to you!"

When Quan Nanjian heard that his father left the boy alone, Quan Nanjian couldn't help but show a surprised expression, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he agreed and left. Then Quan Gai Suwen took Quan Nan to his study and then said, "Boy, do you know why I want you to stay in Pyongyang City?"

"This... didn't my father let me take charge of the rear to ensure the logistics supply?" The boy Quan was stunned when he heard his father's words, and then asked back.

"Ensure the supply of logistics is only one of them. In addition, I have another more important thing to tell you!" Quan Gai Suwen suddenly sighed at this time, and his expression became a little desolate.

"What's the matter?" The boy from Quan couldn't help but look surprised when he heard his father's words.
