In this way, the capital city of Goguryeo was breached by 20,000 light cavalry, and the process was unexpected, and the result was expected.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. When Quangai Suwen poured all the country's troops into pursuit of Li Shimin's strength, he killed him, and he never imagined that another partial division of the Tang army actually entered his lair, and the number was only 20,000.

20,000 people in a war between countries are like dead leaves falling into a pond, and there is not a single ripple. According to the normal logical behavior of the commanders, no one would take such a risk and use only 20,000 people to attack the enemy's capital, something that they would never dare to think of, but Li Su did it, and it was successful.

The Tang army entered the city, and the city of Pyongyang soon burned fire everywhere, whether it was a house or an official office, it became the target of the Tang army, the original Goguryeo defenders in Pyongyang were at least 100,000, but because Quangai Suwen mobilized all the soldiers of the whole country to pursue Li Shimin, resulting in only more than 2,000 defenders in Pyongyang, plus a small number of official servants and guards guarding the palace, etc., 20,000 Tang troops rushed into the sheepfold like tigers and wolves after entering the city, almost no decent resistance, and the people in the city fled in panic in the fire, Screaming and crying.

How can war be merciful, only the people who suffer and are killed, and in front of the armoured and sword-clad army, the people have no choice but to flee in a hurry.

"Eliminate the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and if there are any people in the city who resist, kill them on the spot!" Li Ji ordered in a deep voice.

Li Su rode on a horse, looking at the sky-high fires that were rising everywhere in the city, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart. When the cavalry attacked the logistics of the Tang army, it was also as heavy as tonight, and it didn't take long for the Tang army to set fire to the enemy's capital, pecking and drinking, and the cause and effect cycle.

"Xue Rengui, immediately take two thousand soldiers and occupy the palace!" Li Su ordered, thought about it, and added: "Open the palace treasury, take away all the valuable things, we can't enter the city for nothing, right?" Also, if you see Goguryeo King Gozang, well, invite him politely, our general wants to talk to him about life. ”

Xue Rengui grinned, hugged his fists and waited for the soldiers to leave.

"Wait!" A delicate voice behind him said loudly.

Li Sutou didn't reply, but sighed, okay, the troublemaker is coming......

Turning around, Li Su smiled at Gao Lingzhen: "What does Her Royal Highness the princess have to say?" ”

After the city was broken, Gao Lingzhen had been following behind Li Su, and when most of the Tang army entered the city, she and Li Su entered the city slowly, watching the city full of fires, the people ran and cried, Gao Lingzhen's expression was very complicated, her eyes were full of tears, her white teeth bit her lower lip fiercely, and she tried her best to restrain the pain and torment in her heart, until Li Su ordered to occupy the palace, Gao Lingzhen finally couldn't help it.

"Li Xiangong, the battles between Goguryeo and Tang were all caused by Quangai Suwen, and my father did not lose his courtesy, why did he attack my father's palace?" Gao Lingzhen asked with a gloomy face.

Li Su smiled and said: "After breaking the capital, we will have to break the palace again to make the merit complete, if we have not committed any crime against the palace, we are afraid that we will not be able to pay the difference after we go back, and Your Majesty will blame you." ”

Gao Lingzhen said angrily: "Just for the sake of your military exploits, do you want to poison my father's palace?" ”

Li Su blinked blankly: "What's wrong?" War, isn't that what it's all about? If your Goguryeo army enters Chang'an, my Tang Dynasty, will you let go of Taiji Palace? ”

Gao Lingzhen was speechless, and the answer to this question was almost unsuspenseful, and even said that if Goguryeo's army could one day break into the capital of the Tang Kingdom, they would go even further.

After a long time, Gao Lingzhen sighed and said: "Li County Gong, I know that you are angry because your father failed to open the city gate as promised, but please be more considerate of my father's situation, he has been hollowed out of the royal power by Quan Gai Suwen since he ascended the throne, and it can even be said that Quan Gai Suwen helped my father to ascend the throne in order to set up a puppet lord, my father has no power and no soldiers, and it is easy to open the city gate, but my father is too difficult to do, you can't be angry with my father because of his powerlessness......"

Li Su shook his head: "I didn't anger him, we Tang people are reasonable, your father is not capable of responding to our internal response, and we don't blame him, but it is not too much to ask him to come out and talk to our general face-to-face, we can understand his hardships, but he should at least say his grievances." ”

Gao Lingzhen gritted his teeth and said: "My father will explain to the general, but you can't enter the palace, it is my father's residence, even if you Tang people are domineering, you can't go too far, and treat the dignity of my Goguryeo lord as nothing!" ”

Li Su thought about it, turned his head and glanced at Xue Rengui who was about to speak next to him, Xue Rengui looked contemptuous, obviously very disapproving of Gao Lingzhen's words, just because Li Su was next to him, he could only maintain the law of respect and humility, and had to be silent.

After a long time, Li Su quickly turned his head, looked at Gao Lingzhen and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess, we will not attack the palace, but only send someone to invite your father to come out of the palace to meet with our general, how about it?" ”

"Is what Li County Gong said true?"

Li Suzheng said: "Believe me, I only rub outside, don't go in......"

Gao Lingzhen suddenly turned her anger into joy and said, "Thank you Li County for your benevolence and righteousness." ”

Taking advantage of Gao Lingzhen's joyful salute, Li Su quickly glanced at Xue Rengui on the side, Xue Rengui received it, smiled knowingly, and then turned the horse's head and left.

**********************************************************

Like the promises of all scumbags after a thousand years, Li Su's promises are naturally unreliable.

said that he was only rubbing outside, and Xue Rengui led the soldiers to go in accidentally......

That night, less than half an hour after the capital of Pyongyang was breached, the wolf-like light cavalry of the Tang Army broke through the fragile palace gate, like a pack of hungry wolves breaking into the sheepfold.

There are not many guards in the palace, because the lord of the country is just a puppet of Quangai Suwen, the use of the palace has been reduced again and again over the years, and Quangai Suwen is not very concerned about the safety of the palace, Xue Rengui led the Tang army to break the palace gate very easily.

The next is the ruthless killing, whether it is a guard or an inner servant, a palace maid, the brutal Tang army broke into the palace and killed people, and finally Xue Rengui led his troops to rush into the dormitory of the king of Goryeo, Gao Zang knew that the capital and the palace were broken by the Tang army, so frightened that he hid under the table in the corner of the dormitory, holding his head and curling into a ball, when Xue Rengui took him out from under the table, Gao Zang's crotch was wet, and his legs even lost the strength to stand, and he was paralyzed and drooped weakly, and two Tang soldiers supported him left and right, and invited him out of the palace, went straight to Li Ji's temporary handsome tent outside the palace.

The treasury in the palace is very poor, after all, the person who lives in it is only a puppet lord, and it is impossible for Quangai Suwen to leave him too much money, but there are many treasured cultural relics, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things left in the palace by the successive lords of Goguryeo, and the Tang army will naturally not be polite, and all the files are packed and taken away.

After the palace was sacked, the next target was the Quangai Suwen Mansion, a few steps outside the palace.

If the Tang army was a little merciful to the palace people because of the relationship between Gao Zang and Gao Lingzhen when he broke the palace, then the Tang army was cruel and ruthless to Quangai Suwen's mansion, after the Tang army broke in, there was no room for any living things in his eyes, but anyone who jumped and ran away and screamed in the sight, regardless of men, women and children, were all cut down by the Tang army with a knife, and it didn't take long for the mansion to be killed by the Tang army, and all the creatures that could breathe were cut off by them.

From then on, Quangai Suwen can be said to be a real loner.

Compared with the shabby palace, Quangai Suwen's mansion is much richer, and the Tang army has gained a lot after searching, only this mansion is rich and rivals the country, and it can almost be regarded as a small treasury.

Xue Rengui led the Tang army to carry it for a long time and did not finish moving, and had to transfer another thousand people, all of whom worked hard to move for two hours, and then all the valuable treasures and money in the Quangai Suwen Mansion were swept away, leaving behind furniture and utensils and other things that could not be taken away, and the Tang army burned them all in one fire.

As for how many innocent people were killed in the city, how many civilian families were looted, and even how many Goguryeo women were raped, it is impossible to calculate specifically.

War is such a rule, at this time, even Li Ji can no longer control the beastly nature of the Tang army's soldiers, so he can only turn a blind eye and let the Tang army soldiers do all the evil things in the capital of this enemy country.

…………

When Gao Zang was "invited" into Li Ji's handsome tent, the whole person seemed to be paralyzed, and his face was frighteningly pale.

Taken into the tent by the soldiers, Gao Zang saw Li Ji sitting in the middle of the tent at first glance, Li Ji was burly and tall, with armor draped, sitting majestically in front of the table, squinting and looking at the map carefully, just looking at its momentum, Gao Zang suddenly knew that this was the general of the Tang Kingdom, the British Duke Li Ji.

There was also a young man sitting next to Li Ji, also wearing armor, with a handsome face, leaning in front of the map with a lazy face, pointing at the map from time to time, and then Li Ji nodded with a smile.

Gao Zang immediately understood the identity of this young man, he was naturally a young courtier who His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom was quite respected, Li Su, the prince of Jingyang County.

Although he has never been out of the palace, Gao Zang has always been unwilling to be controlled by Quan Gai Suwen, although he plays the role of a loser in front of Quan Gai Suwen, but Gao Zang is secretly very shrewd, and he has secretly laid an ambush line over the years, not only in the Goguryeo domestic court and army, but even some characters and deeds in the Tang Dynasty often send people to investigate, so he recognized the identities of Li Ji and Li Su at a glance.

After recognizing it, Gao Zang immediately showed a panicked expression, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Gao Zang, the lord of a small country in the east, visited the British Prince, met the Jingyang County Prince, the king was righteous and did not obey, Xiao Wang failed to open the city according to the agreement, he was terrified, and Xiao Wang asked the two fathers for guilt."

was originally the lord of Goguryeo, but he spoke in the Central Plains Chinese, and even had a bit of Guanzhong accent, but it sounded quite blunt and tasted weird.

Li Ji and Li Su raised their heads at this time, glanced at him lightly, and then lowered their heads again and continued to stare at the map.

"Zizheng, you continue." Li Ji said lightly.

Li Su said with a smile: "Yes, uncle, in my opinion, we can stay in the capital of Pyongyang for another day, after all, there are still many things that have not been resolved, we are kings, not bandits, we can't just kill people and loot enough, at this time, the capital has been broken, and then we need to block the city gates on all sides, send scouts to explore the march process of Quan Gai Suwen's department, and strictly prevent the villagers near Pyongyang from gathering into a group to counterattack us, so I think it is best to send 10,000 light cavalry to zero and patrol the countryside villages outside Pyongyang day and night, Anyone who finds more than 10 people gathered will be killed without interrogation. ”

Li Ji nodded: "What Zizheng said is reasonable, and only in this way can we prevent it from happening and cut off the disaster for our army." ”

The uncle and nephew chatted for a long time, but Gao Zang kept a kneeling posture, and did not dare to raise his head, the two of them seemed to have never seen him, and their indifferent attitude made Gao Zang's heart more and more panicked, and finally his body shook involuntarily, full of worry and fear about his fate.

After chatting for an hour or so, Li Ji and Li Su quietly glanced at each other, feeling that the heat was almost enough, Li Ji raised his head, as if he had just seen Gao Zang, and said with a surprised and unexpected expression: "Huh? Isn't this the lord of Goguryeo? Oh! The lord of the country was personally canonized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he be so courteous to Li, wouldn't he teach the world to laugh at me for messing up the etiquette law in the Tang Dynasty? Lord, please get up quickly. ”

Gao Zang's body trembled violently, and his heart became more and more panicked.
