"Duke Wei seems to have some experience in the use of firearms, and after the war, give a good lecture to the generals, and these will be indispensable equipment for future battles." Li Shimin retracted his gaze staring at Duan Zhixuan, touched his beard, and said with a smile.

"The minister obeys the order, just a little bit of opinion, and I must communicate with you more." Li Jing bowed and agreed implicitly.

"Just now you said that Goguryeo would raid us, but there are clues that will be carried out there, forget the specific way to act, Wei Gong, you arrange it, I don't ask." Li Shimin frowned slightly and said.

"The Liaohe River used to reach Pingxiang, all the way to the plateau area, the march is inconvenient, here, here are the two most suitable places, surrounded by mountains and forests, easy to hide the army.

The enemy generals will inevitably choose a place for a decisive battle, and the second place is the only way to go, which is only more than fifty miles away from Pingxiang City, whether it is supply or retreat, it is very convenient. Li Jing still looked at the map and explained to Li Shimin.

"Well, since that's the case, I can't escape Wei Gong's calculations." Li Shimin nodded in agreement with Li Jing's guess, and said with a smile.

"The minister has already made up his mind, since Goguryeo wants to fight a decisive battle, how can we avoid it, and we will definitely not let them down.

With 20,000 fanatic legions, 5,000 wrestlers, and 100,000 elites as bait, 45,000 sailors will rush to the vicinity in advance, and transport 100,000 foot soldiers, plus 50,000 cavalry, for a total of 320,000 troops, will fight them to the death here. Li Jing explained carefully.

"Yes, the decisive battle is the decisive battle, when I fought against Wang Shichong's 100,000 army, I won the same battle, and now I am well-equipped, how can there be any reason to avoid it, I must fight bloody and play the style of the Tang Dynasty.

I will delegate power to you, if you think that there is a shortage of manpower, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear, Liaoxi, and they can be mobilized. Li Shimin stood up and high-fived and sighed.

"The minister thought that the army of more than 300,000 was enough, and there were too many baits, and the minister was worried that Goguryeo would not dare to take the bait, and if it was broken into pieces, all of them fled to the mountains and forests, and if they wanted to have long-term peace and stability in the future, I am afraid it would take a lot of time.

And the maximum transportation capacity of the ship is 100,000, plus the sailors, it can't be more, 50,000 elite cavalry, there are 20,000 new steel armor, which is enough to break the formation. Li Jing looked at Li Shimin gratefully and said, for Li Shimin to trust and delegate power so much, as a courtier, why not be satisfied, it can be said that it is the king's greatest trust in his courtiers, and it is also the highest pursuit of a commander.

"What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, since the start of the war, the ministers have not let go of their hands and feet to fight, and they must let Goguryeo see the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty men, and they will naturally be obedient in the future." Wei Chigong's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said viciously.

"Holy Lord, don't worry, the ministers will never disgrace Datang!" This is what Liu Shili said.

The others also shouted, patting their chests to promise not to drop the chain, and they must have a bloody battle.

…………

Goguryeo, Pyongxiang City!

Yuangai Suwen fled back with the army in embarrassment, and on the way, he thought about it carefully, and came up with a way, which was the same as Li Jing's guess.

After returning to Pingxiang, he immediately went to report to Gao Jianwu.

"How is this good, the Liaohe River is lost, the domestic city is lost, outside Pingxiang, in Wujian City, how to resist the Tang army, and they have powerful weapons, how can we resist, it is better to surrender, what do you think of Lu?" After Gao Jianwu listened, his face turned pale, paced back and forth, and said to Yuan Gai Suwen, who inherited his father's business and had just been crowned a big pair of Lu.

"King, the minister already has a way, don't worry, this time the Tang army will lose its troops and generals." Yuangai Suwen introduced how he made his plan to Gao Jianwu.

"There's a way? When you were guarding the Liao River, you said that you could block the Datang River and drag it to the point where the Datang sacrifice was huge, what was the result? Now he said that he would let Datang lose his troops and lose his generals, and I don't know where your confidence came from. Gao Jianwu said angrily.

"And what do you mean, Your Majesty?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked with a grim face.

"The Tang Dynasty is like the sky, who in the world can resist, for the sake of the people, this king decided to surrender, you see those Turks, Khitans, all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, life is just as good." Gao Jianwu thought that Yuan Gai Suwen was refuted and couldn't speak, so he made his decision, hoping to convince this big pair of Lu who controlled a lot of power.

"Your Majesty has made up your mind?" Yuangai Suwen lowered his head and asked lightly.

"Yes, this king has already decided, I just want to discuss it with Lu before the big one, and then I will go and tell the ministers outside." Gao Jianwu thought that Yuan Gai Suwen had acquiesced, and said in a slow tone.

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, then go like the previous kings, go to the soldiers who died in battle, and regret to your father!" Yuangai Suwen slowly raised his head and said through gritted teeth.

"You...... What are you doing! Gao Jianwu saw that Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes were red, his face was fierce, and he was distorted, so he couldn't help but retreat in fright, and asked in fear.

"What? The king actually wanted to give Goguryeo away, and the minister sent His Majesty to ask the previous kings if they agreed. Yuangai Suwen pulled out the saber at his waist and approached step by step, he was now murderous.

This feeling of controlling the king's life and death made his heart beat faster and his blood boiled, as if he was trembling in front of himself in the face of a peerless beauty, which made him excited.

"Someone! Someone to help! Gao Jianwu crawled and ran backwards, shouting loudly.

"Suffer death!" Yuangai Su Wen smiled and stepped forward quickly, flew up and kicked it, rushed a few steps, stepped on Gao Jianwu, who rolled a few laps, and the long knife in his hand did not hesitate to thrust it into his chest.

Gao Jianwuyuan opened his eyes, staring at Yuangai Suwen in disbelief, he didn't expect him to dare to be a killer, he grabbed the blade in vain with both hands, struggled, his head was biased, and he lost his breath.

But the lord of a country died at the hands of the minister, and there was no one to save the driver, and there were many people outside the hall, shouting loudly, and there was no one who came in to watch.

Yuangai Suwen pulled out his sword, didn't even look at Gao Jianwu, who was dumbfounded, turned around and walked out of the apse.

There were many ministers and nobles gathered outside the hall, looking at Yuangai Suwen who came out with a knife, and seeing that the tip of the knife was still dripping blood, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and many people took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, the faint monarch Gao Jianwu intends to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for his own wealth, where is our family? Everyone should know how Datang treats the big family, and how can everyone survive when the time comes.

This official has asked the faint monarch to go to the previous kings to repent, and to defeat the Tang Dynasty in the future, and set up a new monarch. Yuangai Suwen's face softened slightly, his eyes looked at the wolf, and he kept scanning the people in the hall and said, the long knife in his hand swinging back and forth intentionally or unintentionally.
