Chapter 969
Gao Yanshou brought his personal soldiers into Pyongyang City, which attracted the people around him to stop along the way. Thanks to Gao Yanshou's lovely young man from a high school in Pyongyang City, all the people on the way recognized him.
It was precisely because I recognized Gao Yanshou that I was shocked.
As the northern part of the Jossa, shouldn’t Gao Yanshou guard the Liaodong and resist the attack of the Tang army?
How did it appear in Pyongyang City?
Did the Tang army retreat after seeing the difficulties?
But even if the Tang army retreated due to the difficulties, Gao Yanshou shouldn't have returned to Pyongyang so soon. What if the Tang army shot with a fake shot?
Moreover, looking at the expression on Gao Yanshou's face, it seems that he is not as good as victory.
Could it be that something happened in Pyongyang City that General Gao Yanshou recalled the capital?
It shouldn't be. If the king had something to recall Gao Yanshou, then they wouldn't have known it!
From beginning to end, no one thought that Liaodong had fallen. After all, Liaodong was easy to defend but difficult to attack, while the Tang army had only more than 100,000 troops. Although it might not be easy to defeat the Tang army, it was also difficult for the Tang army to capture Liaodong.
In the palace, the atmosphere was no longer as nervous as when he first knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was going to command the Eastern Expedition.
However, Gao Jianwu, the King of Goguryeo, still felt heavy in his heart. He turned over the memorial in front of him, put the memorial aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there no memorial from Liaodong?"
The eunuch next to him quickly smiled and said, "I have no memorials from Liaodong when I go back to the king."
Gao Jianwu said worriedly: "I don't know how the war in Liaodong is going on!"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang army is still anxious outside Jian'an City, so Gao Jiesa doesn't feel that he needs to submit a memorial. This is a good thing!"
Gao Jianwu nodded after hearing this and said, "That's true. Now I hope Jian'an City can hold on for more days, and I hope Yuan Gaisuwen can capture Jincheng as soon as possible!"
The eunuch laughed and said, "Maybe there will be a good news tomorrow, so don't worry, the king!"
At this moment, a little eunuch hurried into the hall and said respectfully: "Report to the king, Gao Jianwu, the northern part of Jusa, asked for a visit!"
Gao Jianwu was stunned when he heard this, with a skeptical look on his face, thinking that he had heard it wrong?
Not only Gao Jianwu felt that he was hallucinating, but the eunuchs in the hall were a little doubtful at this moment whether they had heard it wrong.
Anyway, it was either that I had heard it wrong or that the eunuch said it wrong, because Gao Yanshou was still guarding the city in Liaodong, how could he appear here? How could he enter the palace to ask for a meeting?
Gao Jianwu shouted, "What did you say? Gao Yanshou asked for a meeting?"
The little eunuch said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it is Gao Jiessa who asked for a meeting. I have confirmed it again and again, so there will be no mistake!"
At this moment, Gao Jianwu really thought that the eunuch made a mistake, but it was not.
How could Gao Yanshou be in Pyongyang City? What about Liaodong?
Gao Jianwu was shocked, and suddenly stood up and shouted, "Didn't Gao Yanshou beg for the order of his own people to guard Liaodong City? Why is it here?"
The little eunuch said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know this servant, but the guards at the palace gate are so informed!"
"Quickly transmit Gao Yanshou to see the orphan!" Gao Jianwu shouted.
The little eunuch went away after hearing this. Gao Jianwu asked the eunuch beside him with a deep face: "You said, why did Gao Yanshou return to Pyongyang? Will Liaodong be lost?"
The eunuchs in the hall actually had this question in their minds, but who dared to say it?
"The King, the Tang army has only more than 100,000 troops, and the Liaodong City is as solid as a rock. How could it be lost? Gao Jiesa must have something important to report to the King when he returns to the capital!" The eunuch comforted.
Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "What is more important than guarding Liaodong?"
The eunuch scoured his stomach and said, "Maybe, maybe, the war in Liaodong is not too tight, or maybe the Tang army has retreated, or maybe it is possible to have peace talks!"
This is not impossible, but Gao Yanshou can send someone to report, and there is no need to leave Liaodong without authorization. After all, Gao Yanshou’s primary task is to guard Liaodong.
Liaodong must not be misunderstood!
At the palace gate, Gao Yanshou waited at the palace gate for a while and attracted the attention of many officials. After all, Gao Yanshou should be guarding Liaodong at this moment, so how could he appear here?
"Gaojusa, when did you return to the capital?"
"Gojosa, why are you here?"
"Yes, shouldn't you be guarding Liaodong?"
"How is the battle situation in Liaodong?"
Gao Yanshou's face looked a little bad, and he said calmly: "I have important things to report to the king!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Is there anything important that I can't write to the letter and I have to report it in person?
After all, this is a special period. As the main general guarding Liaodong, how could Gao Yanshou leave Liaodong without authorization? What if Liaodong is in trouble?
The little eunuch came over panting and shouted: "Gao Juesa, the king summoned him, please enter the palace quickly!"
Gao Yanshou nodded to the officials beside him, then walked towards the palace with great strides. The eunuch next to him trotted, his face turned pale and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Your Majesty, Gao Juesa has arrived!"
In the hall, Gao Jianwu was walking anxiously. When he heard Gao Yanshou coming, he couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!"
Gao Yanshou lowered his head and walked into the hall, saying respectfully: "I, Gao Yanshou, pays homage to the king!"
Gao Jianwu paused and stared at Gao Yanshou in a deep voice, saying, "Gao Yanshou, you are not in Liaodong, why did you return to the capital without authorization?"
Gao Yanshou knelt on the ground with a thud and choked, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, and Liaodong has been lost!"
Although he had already guessed something in his heart, Gao Yanshou was unwilling to believe it at all, but now he heard it from Gao Yanshou's mouth.
Gao Jianwu still felt it was hard to believe it, so he took two steps back and asked in a daze: "How is it possible? How could Liaodong fall so quickly? That's Liaodong! Didn't the Tang army only have more than 100,000 soldiers? Didn't you say you had to hold on for at least half a year? It didn't even have half a month!"
In the end, Gao Jianwu was already harsh and stared at Gao Yanshou, and even had the heart to eat Gao Yanshou!
Gao Yanshou began to defend himself: "Your Majesty, I was originally confident that I would stick to it for half a year, but I never expected that the Tang army would have artillery!"
Gao Jianwu asked in a daze after hearing this: "Architecture? Just because of artillery?"
Gao Yanshou nodded with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the artillery is so powerful! Not only is it like thunder, but it can break the city walls apart from miles away! A shell cannon fall and kill and injure dozens or hundreds of soldiers. I don't know how many artillery cannons are hidden in the Tang Dynasty's army. Countless artillery cannons are fired at all, and they can't resist it!"
