Forcing Gao Lingzhen to admit her identity was both unexpected and expected for Li Su.

Unexpectedly, Li Su had already guessed that Gao Lingzhen's identity was not simple, and today it happened to be confirmed, unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the small Goguryeo Kingdom was also the same as the Tang Dynasty's court, the undercurrent was surging from time to time, the lord of the country, the actual ruler Quangai Suwen, the city lord Yang Wanchun, the three forces calculated each other, intrigued, and although the identity of Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him was noble, but in the whole chess game, it was just a pitiful chess piece, which could be abandoned at any time, the people of troubled times, life is not as good as a dog, In fact, princesses are no exception.

Looking at Gao Lingzhen carefully again, Li Su couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This should be a smart woman, although the spy is a little rough, sometimes it is inevitable to act a little impatient, but she hides it well, if it weren't for the urgency of today's situation, she accidentally revealed a flaw, Li Su is afraid that she really can't catch her handle, but it's a pity that no matter how smart a person is, she can't be a bystander, if she can calm down and look at the whole game of Goguryeo, she will find that her existence is not important, the lord of the country Gaozang can use her, or abandon her, or send her out as an assassin from the moment she is dispatched, Gao Zang had no hope for her, only when she was dead, as for being captured alive by the Tang Army, staying with a young powerful man in the Tang State as a maid, and being able to spy on the Tang Army's intelligence at any time, it was an unexpected result for Gao Zang.

The palace is ruthless, the emperor is ruthless, the father can sacrifice his own daughter at any time, but the daughter has a noble status but has to embark on the road of gambling, fortunately, so far, Gao Lingzhen has survived.

"Your Royal Highness the princess means that your father, King Gozang, wants to launch an operation in Pyongyang City, take advantage of the departure of Izumi Gae Su-moon to overthrow his rule, get rid of his minions, and take back the power that originally belonged to the king of Goryeo, right?"

Gao Lingzhen nodded: "My father was originally the nephew of the previous generation of King Rongliu of Goryeo, and the throne of Goguryeo belonged to my father. ”

Li Su's eyes showed scorn, and he said with a smile: "Your father has been elevated for all these years, and the military and political power in the DPRK and China has been controlled by Quangai Suwen, can he take it back?" ”

Gao Lingzhen suddenly sneered: "My father has the heart to rise up, and he has not been idle in secret all these years, Quangai Suwen has been in power and hegemony, perverse and perverse, and there are countless people who hate the Chinese martial arts, as long as my father Wang ascends to the heights, he will teach Jiangshan to change his name and surname!" ”

Li Su sighed and muttered: "Originally, I still had a lot of confidence in this King Gaozang, but after hearing such arrogant and conceited words, I suddenly lost confidence again, from ancient times to the present, the end of a guy who feels good about himself is not good......"

The voice of muttering was so loud that Gao Lingzhen listened to it all in her ears, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she said a little ashamedly: "Father will definitely succeed!" ”

Li Su sighed again: "The power is hollowed out, the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, Quangai Suwen still has an army of 150,000 in his hands at this time, even if your father succeeds in Pyongyang, Quangai Suwen can wave the army back at any time, I really don't know where your inexplicable self-confidence comes from, I don't know, I don't feel ......powerful."

Gao Lingzhen's face turned red with anger, glared at Li Su angrily, and said coldly: "Your Majesty Li County, I am the princess of Goguryeo, and I ask the county princess to treat me politely, and I should do the same to my father." ”

Li Su glanced at her, and his lazy expression suddenly changed, revealing a false look of worship with stars in his eyes: "Wow! Your father is so powerful! ”

Gao Lingzhen's eyes turned black with anger: "............"

Immediately, Li Su's expression changed and he returned to his lazy appearance: "Okay, the worship is over, let's continue to get down to business, today you said a few words to a man across the fence of the camp, what news are you transmitting?" ”

Gao Lingzhen was not surprised by this question, in fact, today Li Su led Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou to break in murderously, and she realized that her deeds might have been revealed.

"I sent two pieces of news out, first, the 150,000 army of Quangai Suwen continued to pursue the Tang Emperor's headquarters and gave up recovering the city of Gyeongju, and the Tang general Li Jihe ...... Li Su, the prince of Jingyang County, decided to lead his troops to raid the rear army of Quangai Suwen, and asked his father to seize the opportunity to start an incident, and the second ,...... The secret recipe for the explosive artifacts used in the Tang State siege is still in the hands of the Duke of Jingyang County, and it cannot be obtained for the time being. ”

After speaking, Gao Lingzhen's face showed a look of confusion and hung her head silently.

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Your father has taken a fancy to my Tang Dynasty's earth-shattering thunder?" Pretty powerful, right? Want a secret ingredient? ”

Gao Lingzhen raised her head and said in surprise and expectation: "Are you willing to give me the secret recipe?" ”

Li Supi said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't know if your father is ugly or not, I only know that your father wants to be beautiful...... My Tang Dynasty's war weapon, why did you give the secret recipe to your father? Did he contribute to the construction of Datang or did he throw his head and sprinkle dog blood, cough, blood? ”

Gao Lingzhen was so angry that her face turned red and white for a while, her eyes were sprayed with anger and anger and glared at Li Su, and her white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, as if she mistook her lower lip for Li Su and bit it so hard......

"Li County Gong, I have finished explaining what should be explained, I swear to God that this time I am telling the truth, now I am still your prisoner, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." Gao Lingzhen regained her indifferent appearance and said.

Li Su touched his chin and groaned, silent for a long time, his eyes kept flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if your father succeeds in the uprising, is he willing to be a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty and never rebel against the Tang Dynasty from now on?" Li Su asked with a deep groan.

Gao Lingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes showed joy, here and now, if there is a strong force to help her father regain the royal power, it is to send charcoal in the snow, and the price paid is just to be a vassal to the Tang State, why not? Anyway, Goguryeo has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty in name, and if his father can regain the royal power, even if he is a vassal, he will be willing.

"What does Li County Gong mean, is he willing to send troops to help my father in trouble?" Gao Lingzhen tried to suppress her joy and asked calmly.

Li Su said with a smile: "I do have this idea, but it also depends on whether your father is loyal to my Tang Dynasty, if we help your father, your father will take revenge, stab us in the back, or simply turn his face and deny it, you say that we are not wronged, I am afraid that he will not be very happy to pull your father to see the official, right?" ”

Gao Lingzhen immediately straightened up, and said with a solemn expression: "I, Gao Lingzhen, swear to the heavens, if the Tang Kingdom is willing to help my father regain the royal power, my father will respect His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom as ......."

Before she finished speaking, Li Su interrupted her with a smile: "Okay, okay, the scumbag swears to the sky at every turn, why do you have this hobby?" Besides, you and I know very well, swearing this kind of thing, just listen to it, the covenant in black and white can be torn apart, not to mention the empty oath made by white teeth, especially, this oath was made by you on behalf of your father, the credibility is even lower, let's stop talking about this useless nonsense, let's have some practical ......"

Gao Lingzhen said solemnly: "Li County, please speak." ”

Li Su thought for a while and said, "What if...... With 20,000 of us suddenly diverting to Pyongyang City, can you bother your father to open the door for us? ”

Gao Lingzhenxing's eyes widened, and she looked at him in shock, as if she was looking at a madman.

"With your 20,000 horses, you want to raid Pyongyang? You're just ......."

Li Su grinned at her, "I'm just crazy, right?" ”

Gao Lingzhen didn't speak, probably wanting to take care of Li Su's self-esteem, but her expression completely betrayed her true thoughts in her heart.

The noise outside the tent was getting louder and louder, and the army was now assembled and ready to march.

Li Su said to Fang Lao Wu: "Go to the Shuai tent immediately and tell my uncle, just say that the army has suspended its operations and that something has changed, and I will then go to explain to my uncle." ”

Fang Lao Wu received the order and hurriedly left the tent.

Gao Lingzhen looked at him with a shocked face: "Li County Gong, you really want to ......"

Li Su nodded, smiling brightly: "That's right, what I'm going to do is exactly what you are thinking......"

Gao Lingzhen seemed to have only known him today, staring at him and muttering distractedly, "You are really crazy!" ”

Li Su looked directly into her eyes and said slowly: "Aren't you very curious about why the Tang Emperor would give such a young person the title of county duke?" I tell you the answer, not only because I am smart, but more importantly, when the situation comes to the point of desperate efforts, I will not hesitate to give up my life, my title is earned with my own life, and today, the same is true! ”

Gao Lingzhen suddenly felt very angry, she didn't know what she was angry about, she clenched her fists and said angrily: "Do you know how many defenders there are in Pyongyang City?" ”

Li Su said calmly: "I know, it must be less than the 150,000 troops of Quangai Suwen, Pyongyang, in fact, is almost an empty city, right?" ”

Gao Lingzhen sighed, her mood was very complicated. At this moment, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to lead these enemy armies to attack the capital of her own country, Li Su didn't believe her oath, and similarly, she couldn't believe that the Tang army took such a big risk to enter Pyongyang purely to help her father seize power.

…………

The soldiers of the Tang Army who were about to open the camp suddenly stopped, and soon, Li Ji rushed to the camp from Gyeongju City on horseback with a few personal guards, and after entering Li Su's camp tent, he didn't wait for them to salute, and hurriedly said: "Why did Zizheng suspend the pullout? The army is not to be played, and you had to have a good reason. ”

Li Su pointed to Gao Lingzhen next to him and said with a smile: "Uncle, nephew Rong introduced, this is the third daughter of Gao Zang, the lord of Goguryeo, Gao Lingzhen, the princess of Jian'an. ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then he found the woman next to him, frowned and looked her up and down, and said, "This old woman has seen it, isn't she a female assassin captured by you?" ”

"It's an assassin, but it's also a princess, and I only know her identity today......" Li Su turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "She is hidden deeply, and she hasn't leaked a word for so long." ”

Li Ji snorted: "What about the princess? The two countries are at war, do you expect the old man to treat the princess like a guest? ”

Li Su winked at him mysteriously: "Uncle, the war and peace between the two countries are all due to interests, we are in the Goguryeo Kingdom, we can fight, we can also make peace." ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and said, "......What does Zizheng mean?"

"In today's situation, can we understand it this way, it is not Goguryeo who is fighting with us, but Quangai Suwen......" Li Su turned his head to look at Gao Lingzhen again, and said: "Presumably, the lord of Goguryeo is unwilling to fight with our Tang Dynasty, Your Royal Highness Princess, are you right?" ”

After all, Li Ji is a veteran of the battle, and he immediately blessed his heart: "You mean, let's make peace with the Goguryeo Kingdom, and then deal with Quangai Suwen together?" ”

Gao Lingzhen is also a smart woman, and when she heard this, she immediately said: "Your Majesty the British Duke of the Tang Kingdom, I can form an alliance with your country on behalf of my father, and ask your country to help my father and the king to eliminate the thieves of the Goguryeo Kingdom. ”

Li Su laughed and said, "Uncle, you see, we still have to fight with Quangai Suwen, but the nature of the battle has changed, what is this called?" This is called 'Qingjun side'! In the name of righteousness, the king of heaven determines the world with courtesy, and the rule of law governs the world, and now the Goguryeo monarchy is falling, and the traitor is in charge, and I Datang is in the name of the suzerainty of the Heavenly Khan. ”

Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he said: "Zizheng means that we will enter the city of Pyongyang, kill all the rebellious ministers and traitors in the city who are attached to the rebel spring Gai Suwen, and support the lord of the country Gao Zang to seize power and ascend to the throne, and Gao Zang will then use the edict of the lord of the country to rule the world, so that Quan Gai Suwen has to return to the army ......"

Li Su glanced at Gao Lingzhen and said with a smile: "The soldiers are under the city of Pyongyang, if the lord of the country Gao Zang is willing to open the city gate for us, it is best, if not, let's storm in, enter the capital of the enemy country and kill the traitorous ministers and rebel against the party, and then retreat calmly......"

Gao Lingzhen couldn't help but say: "But, Li County Gong, if Quangai Suwen leads the troops to turn around and rush to help, and you have already retreated, wouldn't my father be ......?"

Li Su smiled: "Even if there is no Tang Army, isn't your father still preparing to make trouble?" We're just helping him by the way, since your father has this plan, you must have been preparing for many years in advance, and the courtiers in Pyongyang should have been secretly wooed by your father, right? Otherwise, your father should not have the courage to make trouble, as for the 150,000 troops of Quangai Suwen, they were all temporarily mobilized from near the capital of Pyongyang, and their parents, wives and children are all near the capital, and your father and king decreed that Quangai Suwen is a rebel, and under the jealousy of the soldiers of your country, most of these 150,000 people will be in civil strife. ”

Gao Lingzhen thought about it, looked hesitant, but didn't speak again.

Li Ji said slowly: "Zi Zheng is planning this, is it too risky?" From this place to attack the city of Pyongyang, there may not be many defenders in Pyongyang, but did Zizheng ever think that Pyongyang is the hinterland of Goguryeo, if Quan Gai Suwen leads the army to help, but we have no escape, we can only confront the Quangai Suwen army head-on, and then our army will fall into the Jedi of total annihilation. ”

Li Su smiled: "It's not a Jedi, after we attacked Pyongyang, there is still a way back to withdraw......

Saying that, Li Su ordered Zheng Xiaolou to unfold the map in the tent, pointed to the city of Pyongyang on the map, and said: "This is Pyongyang, it is indeed the inland of Goguryeo...... Continue east! ”

Li Ji looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Silla Kingdom? ”

"Yes, we retreated into Silla, Silla and Goguryeo and Baekje have always been mortal enemies, Zhenguan 16 years, Goguryeo and Baekje alliance colluded, together to attack Silla, occupy more than 10 cities of Silla, hundreds of miles of land, this is an indissoluble enmity, after the outbreak of the war that year, the lord of Silla sent an envoy into our Tang Dynasty, crying and begging His Majesty to send troops to rescue, Your Majesty's positive reasons on the text of this Eastern Expedition have this article, that is, 'lead his group of murderers to repeatedly invade the land of Silla. Silla lost its land, the danger is deepening, please come to the rescue, Luggage belongs', uncle, Silla and our Tang Dynasty have a common enemy, can be described as a natural ally, our army retreated into the territory of Silla, and at the same time sent a fast horse back to Tang, please Canghae Road marching chief Zhang Liang sent a warship from the Tang Dynasty Wendeng port, around the coast of Baekje, into the Silla Jincheng Port, we can return to the Tang Dynasty by water, in this way, Your Majesty can avoid the risk of being pursued, we can also retreat, without hurting the fundamentals, and Goguryeo, is also turned upside down by us, this battle is not a defeat, after His Majesty returned to Chang'an, the gate valve officials and the people of the world have also been explained。 ”

Li Ji's eyes brightened the more he listened, and after pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "This plan...... Feasible! Zizheng is a genius who can come up with such an unexpected strategy, although the old man has led the army for many years, he is also ashamed of himself. ”

Li Su smiled: "This is just an idea I came up with temporarily, and thanks to the identity of Her Royal Highness the princess, we have an opportunity to take advantage of, it seems that it is the will of God to help us, and we are destined to be ......."

Li Ji glanced at Gao Lingzhen deeply and thought so. Today, the 150,000-strong army that was supposed to attack Quangai Suwen directly was said to be a surprise attack, but in fact the risk was still very large, once the enemy army reacted, 20,000 people faced a crazy counterattack of 150,000 people, even if they could retreat safely, they would definitely pay great casualties. However, Li Su urgently changed the military order today, and did the opposite, not directly attacking the enemy's front, but turning around and attacking the enemy's capital, Quangae Suwen may not care about the gains and losses of Gyeongju City, but the gains and losses of the Pyongyang capital cannot tolerate him not to care, because he is a traitor who usurps power, his foundation and his lair are all in Pyongyang, and the way to attack the enemy is to use troops to save the party.

"Uncle, from the point of view of time, let's send troops to the east today, the scouts of Quangai Suwen's army are about a day later than ours to find out the movement of our army, as long as we make a big fanfare and put on a posture of pointing at Pyongyang, Quangai Suwen will be in a hurry, waving the army to help, our 20,000 soldiers and horses are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, from Gyeongju City to Pyongyang, the road is estimated to take three days, but Quangai Suwen may take four to five days, so we will capture Pyongyang City for at least two days, two days later, bring Quangai Suwen to Pyongyang, We have already continued our eastward journey into the territory of Silla, and in terms of time, we have plenty of time, so I think this plan is feasible. ”
