Goguryeo's conditions naturally coincided with the strategy of the Tang Dynasty, and now neither Li Hong nor Li Zhi planned to let Goguryeo destroy the country, especially since Li Hong informed Li Zhi that Goguryeo's mountains were rich in minerals, he naturally strengthened his determination to support Goguryeo.

A full 50,000 soldiers and horses fluttered in the air with various Tang flags, and because it was an expedition, the honor guard of the Tang Emperor was temporarily beaten by Ge Xiyuan and other ministers, and it was also a decent organization.

In this way, as the crown prince, Li Hong is naturally at the forefront of the team, and as His Royal Highness the prince, his duty at this time is to open the way for the holy driver.

The gate of Liujing City is also dressed in various costumes, and other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have already controlled the entire Liujing City, and the Liujing City at this time has completely become the city of the Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo King Gaozang and his military generals lined up at the gate of the city to wait for the Tang Emperor, with a white Luo bead crown, nine before and after the crown, a total of eighteen, instead of adopting the twelve before and after the king should have, apparently Gaozang has temporarily replaced the crown representing the princes.

Dressed in black with red and white shoulder straps, under the royal robe are various auspicious ornaments, leather with gold buckles, and red deer boots on his feet, the expression of his face is not really happy or fake happy at this time, but in short, the fat face with a white face and beard is an expression of finally looking forward to reinforcements at this time.

Behind him, the clothes and ornaments of the ministers are the same color as the crown ornaments, the green Luo crown, the scarlet Luo crown is the main, the body is consistent with the crown, the leather belt gold and silver miscellaneous buckles, and the same as the Gao Zang's clothing, are the shirt tube with large sleeves, white Wei belt, and yellow leather shoes.

The palace maids and eunuchs behind them stand silently, in addition to the flags and banners of the Goguryeo royal family, there are Tang Dynasty flags fluttering everywhere, and the drums are ringing in unison, and the whole city gate is a jubilant scene, as if the people have finally been liberated and welcome their relatives back.

Li Zhi did not have to dismount at this time, but at the door, under the auspices of the Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty Gexi Yuan, the king of Goguryeo paid tribute to Li Zhi under the city, and then personally led the horse to hold the reins, slowly entered the royal city, and went to the Goguryeo royal family.

After the Tang officials were the honor guards of the Tang army, and then the Goguryeo ministers who greeted them at the door just now, with wide robes and big sleeves, and even the trouser legs exposed when they stepped were also barrel mouths.

Although Liujing is not as prosperous as Chang'an and Luoyang, its city is naturally not as big as Chang'an and Luoyang, and the entire city is much smaller than Chang'an and Luoyang.

Li Hongju looked around, and even vaguely could see the palace opposite, the people on both sides of the street, watching his king lead the horse for the Tang Emperor, his face has always been a numb expression, mechanically looking at the royal family's music guard, honor guard touting, slowly walking towards the royal family of Goguryeo.

In addition to the royal palace, there are no tall buildings in the whole royal city, and the tall tower can be vaguely seen in a temple, and in addition, there are various buildings of the royal palace.

After Liu Renliang entered the city, the guards in the palace were all replaced by soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and even the other troops in the royal city were all driven out of the royal city and stationed in another military city further south of Liujing.

"Minister Gaozang respectfully invites His Majesty to enter the palace." Standing in front of a white steed as tall as him, Takazo bowed and saluted.

At this time, Li Zhi, since arriving at the city gate, has been in a state of excitement in his heart, he never dreamed that one day he could drive the expedition in person and complete the great cause that the previous emperor failed to complete.

Holding the saber at his waist with one hand and holding the saddle with the other, Li Zhi wanted to show his wisdom and martial arts, and in full view of everyone, he turned over and got off the horse with clean movements, and stood firmly on the ground.

This scene made Li Hong next to him really worrying, if he couldn't stand on his feet, he would lose the adult, and he didn't know what Daddy Long thought, what was he doing at this time.

Goguryeo's palace looked more like a royal palace, about the same size as Li Hong's East Palace in Luoyang, and its architecture and luxury were in some ways inferior to his dilapidated East Palace.

Crossing the two palace complexes in front of them, everyone entered the main hall of the palace from the bottom of the eighteen white marble steps.

Li Hong was dressed in black armor, holding a horizontal knife, when entering the palace gate, everyone's weapons were stopped and taken away by Liu Renliang, only Li Hong alone with the horizontal knife in his hand, followed behind the dragon father, in addition to looking at those palace maids and eunuchs, he didn't even have time to look at the name of the palace that he was going to enter now, so he followed in.

All the furnishings in the palace have an obvious Tang style, in addition to some ethnic characteristics, basically still retain the sitting and desk.

Li Zhi, who has not sat down for many years, turned around and stopped on the throne, and slowly sat down on the throne under the service of Yangwu and Lian Tie, and the other eunuch Hua Ji behind him seemed to be asleep, at this time he had only one responsibility, that is, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince, to protect His Majesty's back.

After Li Zhi sat down, after the fat king of Goguryeo, Gaozang, once again performed the courtesy of the monarch and minister, Li Zhi gave an order, and everyone sat down in the palace.

The left head is naturally Goguryeo King Gao Zang, and the right head is naturally holding a horizontal knife, so that Gao Zang has always wanted to see clearly who is so bold and able to follow Li Hong in front of His Majesty the Tang Emperor with a knife.

As soon as everyone sat down, Goguryeo King Gozang began to plead, "Your Majesty begs Your Majesty to order Silla and Baekje to stop plundering our Goguryeo land and people. ”

Li Zhi didn't pay attention to Gaozang for the first time, but glanced at Li Hong, these were completely guessed by Li Hong, and Li Hong said on the way here, I'm afraid that this Goguryeo has reached the critical juncture of life and death, otherwise, it is impossible to let Liu Renliang go out of the city and surrender without a single soldier.

Similarly, on this basis, it was also guessed that Gozang would ask for help from Datang at the first time, but Li Hong confirmed that there was no need to agree all at once, and it was best to let Silla and Baekje jointly attack, so that he could buy time for the Khibi Ho Li and Li Jinxing who were coming.

The most important thing is to take this opportunity to explore the details of Goguryeo and see if there is any wealth worthy of the Tang Dynasty.

"I wonder why Silla and Baekje want to invade your Goguryeo land? I remember, now it seems that you Goguryeo is strong, Silla and Baekje are weak, right? Li Zhi thought about it and began to be sloppy.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was just confused for a while, but if Silla and Baekje hadn't taken the lead in not abiding by the covenant, the minister would not have ordered an attack." Gao Zang's face was a little ugly, that's right, he did have the ambition to annex Silla back then, and later Silla asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, and he was finally stopped by the Tang Dynasty by force.

Since then, Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo have signed an alliance with each other not to invade each other, but Silla has apparently not forgotten that Goguryeo had invaded their land, and after several years of recuperation and recuperation, they improved their relations with Baekje, so they began to attack him Goguryeo.

From a historical point of view, whether it is Goguryeo, Baekje, or Silla, they are actually wolf ambitions, and they all want to annex the other two countries and complete the unification of the Korean Peninsula.

When Goguryeo was strong, it resolutely united with Baekje to launch an invasion of Silla despite the Tang Dynasty's resistance, and finally, under the Tang Dynasty's stop, everything was restored to peace.

Later, in the trajectory of history, the Tang Dynasty and Silla had the closest relationship, not only joined forces to destroy Baekje, but also destroyed Goguryeo, but when Baekje was struggling, Silla saw that the time had come, so it began to violate the contract with the Tang Dynasty, and began to encroach on the land of Goguryeo and Baekje occupied by the Tang Dynasty, bent on emulating the Tang Dynasty and establishing a country like the Tang system.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Li Hong has never waited to see the Three Kingdoms, let them kill each other, but they will not be destroyed, and they will always be in the chaos of war, which is the most beneficial result for the Tang Dynasty.

"The Tang Dynasty Labor Expedition is now sleepy and lacking, I am afraid that I will not be able to rescue your country for a while, and when the Tang Dynasty soldiers rest for a few days, I will naturally send them to mediate the dispute." Li Zhi said lightly, but his eyes saw Li Hong secretly giving him a thumbs up.

"Your Majesty...... The minister naturally knows that the country is an expedition of laborers, but at this time and that time, if you don't give the order, I'm afraid that Silla and Baekje will hit the royal city in a few days, and the destruction of Goguryeo is small. "Gao Zang is a little anxious, this country has always been very talkative, as long as a few soft words, there will definitely be a response, what's wrong today? Could it be that Datang is no longer powerless to forcibly stop it?

"That's right...... I ....... ”

"Wouldn't it be better that my Tang army is here to wait for the combined forces of Silla and Baekje to come and attack, and then attack its soldiers?" Li Hong suddenly interjected.

Seeing Daddy Long's hesitant appearance, he obviously wanted to promise someone to mediate immediately, and if he didn't intervene to remind him, the silver would slip out of his pocket.

Li Zhi looked at him speechlessly, and no longer spoke, but watched what Gao Zang said.

Gao Zang heard that someone interjected to stop him, and he was not annoyed when he saw the appearance of the Tang Emperor, and he couldn't guess the identity of this person, so he naturally didn't dare to speak strongly, so he had to continue to ask: "This general doesn't know, Silla and Baekje have been resting and recuperating for many years, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and the minister is only afraid that if His Majesty is disturbed ...... time." ”

"You are worried about this for too much, if that is the case, we come all the way, won't Your Majesty be disturbed all the way? By the way, or do you not believe that my Datang can protect the royal city without losing it? Li Hong's helmet was always worn on his head, revealing only a small part of his face, which looked a little unfathomable.

For a while, Gao Zang really couldn't figure out what the identity of this Tang general who dared to openly wear a sword in front of the Tang Emperor was? How could he have such a high status and dare to stop the dialogue between the Tang Emperor and himself, the king.
