Chapter 1067 choose the way
Gao Yanshou was overjoyed when he heard this. He finally had the chance to make contributions. Before he could express his gratitude excitedly, a voice sounded next to him.
"I am willing to persuade the defenders and ministers in the city to surrender to the darkness and turn to the light!" Gao Huizhen said respectfully.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you two can persuade the gate of Pyongyang City, it will be a great achievement!"
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I am willing to help Your Majesty with your horse and help you work hard!" Gao Yanshou said excitedly, and at the same time he cursed Gao Huizhen in his heart and jumped out to share the credit.
"I will do my best!" Gao Huizhen said respectfully, and at the same time, she cursed Gao Yanshou in her heart for taking the lead.
Li Shimin looked around and said loudly: "Today, the army of Goguryeo has been defeated, and the biggest obstacle has been cleared to destroy Goguryeo. However, all the soldiers should not be complacent, and they should also be cautious of being arrogant and impatient, and conquer Pyongyang City in one fell swoop!"
"Tomorrow, Yuchi Gong, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, you three each lead a cavalry to sweep the surrounding area of Pyongyang City to prevent the defeated soldiers from gathering together and fight again!"
"The rest of the generals followed my troops to surround Pyongyang City. If the defenders of Pyongyang City refuse to surrender, then they will capture Pyongyang City in one fell swoop!"
"I will obey the order!" everyone said in unison.
The atmosphere of the entire army was very warm. Although the battle was very tiring for a day, it was in a very good mood. The battle was very refreshing, and the Goguryeo army was thrown away.
The most important thing is that everyone knows what it means to fight this battle, which means that Goguryeo has no more power to fight, which means that the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner, which means that they will be able to return triumphant soon.
How can this not make people excited?
However, in this series of military camps with an exciting atmosphere, there are several camp tents with a very solemn atmosphere.
"Isn't Yoon Gaisuwen quite awesome? He can't help but beat him, right?"
"Who doesn't say that, why did the dog thief beat us Silla so hard? How could he fight Tang Jun be like becoming a woman?"
"Yun Gaisuwen was actually angry to death by Duke Rong! It's so amazing!"
"Yes, if we had known that Yuan Gaisuwen was so narrow, we wouldn't have used the Tang Dynasty for help. We just scolded Yuan Gaisuwen on the battlefield, and the problem would be solved!"
The guards were talking and were quite depressed.
Jin Wenzhi sighed: "It's too late to say anything now. Yuan Gai Suwen is dead. Goguryeo's army is defeated again and there is no power to fight. Goguryeo is out of power, and no one can turn the world back. Goguryeo is going to be destroyed! In the future, we will be adjacent to the Tang Dynasty!"
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster!" The guard sighed.
"No matter whether it is a blessing or a disaster, in short, we must be more respectful and surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the future. The artillery is so powerful and the firearms are so powerful. There are so many elite troops, so many famous generals, and people like Duke Rong. We have no power to fight back at all!" Jin Wenzhi sighed.
"Why did the Tang Dynasty attack us?" Jin Shengman appeared in front of the tent and asked in confusion.
"Why did the Tang Dynasty attack Goguryeo? Because they wanted to occupy Goguryeo!" Jin Wenzhi asked back.
"Because there have been constant disputes between Goguryeo and the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and at the beginning, Goguryeo was invaded by the Central Plains, it is not surprising that Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but we are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and are respectful to the Tang Dynasty. Why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty attack us?" Jin Shengman asked.
"The Tang Dynasty is of course a country of etiquette, but when the teeth are still biting their tongues, when the couple still quarreled, and there was still discord between neighbors, let alone between the two countries? I am not worried about it. Even if the emperor is wise now, it is impossible for the emperor to be wise forever." Jin Wenzhi said.
Jin Shengman turned his head slightly and pondered: "Of course, you are not worried about nothing. As you said, the emperor cannot always be wise, but if the emperor is no longer wise, do you think Goguryeo can be peaceful?"
"More importantly, we have no choice. If the Tang Dynasty did not send troops, our Silla would have been destroyed now!"
"We should be grateful to the Tang Dynasty, aren't we?"
Jin Wenzhi was speechless when he heard this. He had to admit that the princess was right. If the Tang Dynasty had not sent troops, Silla would have been destroyed now, let alone the future?
The dawn in the east is clear and the morning light is dim, and it is another good time.
However, the people in Pyongyang City were all trembling and frightened, because the Tang army is likely to start siegeing the city today. Now there are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. Can they defend it?
The court is recruiting young and strong men to help defend the city, but even the elite soldiers and generals who are well-trained and experienced in many battles cannot defend the city. How could the newly recruited young and strong men to defend the city?
All the people stayed at home in panic, and they couldn't even see their own figures on the originally lively streets.
In the palace, Dalu and the court officials began to discuss matters early.
"There are 30,000 young and strong people for the time being, but they have not been trained and can only start and make some preparations. I hope they can adapt as soon as possible and learn how to defend the city..." The eldest brother was talking, and suddenly a small official ran in panting.
"Sir, sir, something is wrong!" the little official said panting.
"Why are you so panicked? Could it be that the Tang army has arrived at the city and is ready to attack the city?" Da shouted to Lu.
"This was expected, there is no need to be so panicked. I believe General Li and the others can definitely defend the city!" The eldest brother said in a deep voice.
The little official said with a sad face: "Sir, that's not the case. General Li and the others have opened the city gate!"
Da shouted to Lu, "The city gate has been opened? Why? Could it be that some soldiers outside the city have returned? This is a good thing!"
"No, General Li and his team held the white flag and wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!" said the little official with a sad face.
There was silence, and everyone could not help looking at each other. They were still discussing how to help the soldiers defend the city. As a result, they didn't even guard them and directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
This is really unrighteous!
You want to surrender, you said it was already. Let's go out of the city together to surrender. What's wrong with you just opening the city gate? Many ministers think so in their hearts.
Datonglu's face was gray and shook her head and sighed: "It's true, the situation is over. Even they have surrendered from the city. This is the destruction of Goguryeo!"
"Big yes? What should I do now?" the ministers asked in unison.
Dalu said in a deep voice: "I am loyal and righteous all my life. I am a minister of Goguryeo and a ghost of Goguryeo when I die. I will never be a minister of the Tang Dynasty. I am old and powerless to fight, but I still have a perfect tongue. Even if I die, I will scold the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for being bloody!"
"Dagata Lu Zhongyi is really a role model for me! I will go back and prepare for my funeral, and then go with Dagata Lu!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go back and prepare for my funeral!"
