Li Shimin looked at Liaodong City in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the past, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, made three expeditions to Goguryeo, all of which stopped at the city of Liaodong, leaving too many regrets, and hundreds of thousands of loyal martyrs fell on this land and buried their bones in other places.

What's more, they were piled up together by the Goguryeo people and built a number of Jingguan.

Today, Li Shimin is determined to avenge these martyrs of the former Sui Dynasty.

Li Shimin and Li Zhonghua have not seen each other for eight years, when Li Zhonghua left Chang'an, it was the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and now in the blink of an eye, it has been nineteen years of Zhenguan.

Although Li Shimin is still in high spirits. But it's also obviously starting to get old, maybe it's because there are too many state affairs to worry about, or maybe there are too many beauties in the harem, so I don't know.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhonghua, and felt that he had changed a lot, and his previous immaturity was gone, replaced by a kind of maturity and stability.

"Over the years, you have run a very good business in Kangding, supporting the Subi State and replacing the Tibetan practice, and now it seems that it is also right." Li Shimin said affirmatively to Li Zhonghua.

"Your Majesty can understand the minister, and the minister will be satisfied, and the minister will also thank Your Majesty for giving the minister this opportunity to temper himself." Li Zhonghua hurriedly said modestly.

"Although I have given you a chance, it is useless if you don't have this ability, in the final analysis, it is your ability to excel.

Princess Wencheng is all right? Princess Jinyang will be fifteen years old this year, there should be nothing wrong with her body, right? ”

"Princess Wencheng is all right, but she is pregnant with a child again, Princess Jinyang's body has recovered well, but she likes the life of Kangding and is reluctant to return to Chang'an, the minister has persuaded her to return to Chang'an and accompany His Majesty, but Princess Jinyang refuses to listen to the persuasion of the minister, and the minister can't help her."

Li Zhonghua also knew that Princess Jinyang had grown up and had to return to Chang'an, and after several persuasions, Princess Jinyang had never been willing to listen to his persuasion, that is, she refused to return to Chang'an, because she didn't want to leave in Kangding City.

"This girl is crazy! After the end of the expedition to Liao, I will issue another holy decree and send someone to bring her back to the palace, and after the end of the expedition, I plan to send you to pass through Liaodong, what do you think? Can you have the confidence to put Liaodong, which is better than Kangding? Li Shimin suddenly asked again.

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to give the minister this opportunity, the minister will definitely live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the imperial court, and run Liaodong well."

The development prospects of Liaodong are obviously broader and more boundless than staying in Kangding.

To the north are Baekje and Silla, both of which are not good neighbors, but Li Zhonghua hopes that they are not honest, and if they are honest, they will have to worry that they will not find any good excuse to attack them.

The place where Silla used to face each other across the sea was the Wa Kingdom, and Li Zhonghua felt that even if he took the initiative to bully him, there would be no psychological obstacles at all.

Liaodong is close to the sea, as long as there are ships, you can go anywhere, and it will be easier to develop economy and trade.

Li Shimin nodded approvingly, he was still very relieved about Li Zhonghua's means of economic development.

People from all walks of life are busy building siege equipment and preparing for the upcoming siege.

The Goguryeo guard in Liaodong City, named Cui Zhizhong, was patrolling the city at the moment, looking at the Tang army outside the city with no end in sight, he was busy with the appearance, and he was also very nervous, and he was also ordering people to prepare equipment to defend the city, and to make preparations for defending the city.

After the Tang army was ready to attack the city, Li Shimin sent Chi Jingde, the lieutenant of the Hubei State, to challenge Cui Zhizhong, the lord of Liaodong City.

Cui Zhizhong is also a man, although he knows that the enemy is strong and I am weak, he still sets up a position to meet the battle and retreats without a fight, which is obviously not his style.

Wei Chi Jingde respects him as a man, and the general guard will not go out of the city to face the battle in the face of this situation, and Cui Zhizhong knows that he is not an opponent, but he is still willing to go out of the city to accept the challenge, just this courage is very admirable.

"General Cui, you are not the opponent of this general, it is better to surrender as soon as possible!" After the two exchanged names, Wei Chi Jingde persuaded him.

"General Wei Chi, this general has already heard of your name and knows that you are powerful, but this general is the defender of Goguryeo, the city lord of Liaodong City, Goguryeo is my country, so this general would rather die here than surrender like you Tang Dynasty."

With all that said, it would be meaningless to persuade further, and both sides sent people to challenge.

Cui Zhizhong saw that the Tang generals had been killed, and after killing several generals, Mingjin withdrew his troops and hurriedly retreated to the city and closed the city gate.

Wei Chi Jingde didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, Cui Zhizhong had already been on guard, and it didn't work to catch up, in addition to eating a mouthful of ashes, he had to touch his nose and come back.

Since the other party was unwilling to surrender, there was only a strong attack, and Li Tao ordered people to use catapults and rammed the car for several days and nights, but it did not have much effect.

It was the first time Li Zhonghua had seen the legendary catapult and the magnificent siege battle scene in ancient times, and the momentum was very amazing.

However, the destructive power caused to the city is very limited, and as long as the other party closes the city, there is almost no way to take the other party.

The stone-throwing truck needs a lot of people to work together, and the stones thrown out are too big to be thrown far, too small and have no lethality?

Moreover, the distance must be guaranteed, and the enemy defending the city has no way to shoot the soldiers operating the catapult with arrows, so although the scene is amazing and the momentum is huge, the effect is really not flattering.

Li Zhonghua asked the people of the artifact battalion to learn how to operate the catapult, and then asked them to calculate the time, ignite the bomb and throw it into the city with the catapult.

The weight of the bomb is much lighter than that of a stone, so it can be thrown far away.

The soldiers of Goguryeo knew the damage of the bomb, because of the unskilled operation, after the bomb was sent into the city by a stone-throwing truck, it fell to the ground and did not explode.

The bombs that were thrown into the city exploded one after another, and the Goguryeo soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties.

What's more, in the face of this explosive artifact, many Goguryeo soldiers had a very serious sense of fear in their hearts.

The explosion of the bomb often causes a fire, and at this time there is a strong wind, and the fire spreads rapidly by the wind, and for a while, the explosion sound continues to sound, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it cannot be controlled at all.
