Jian Mucen led his cronies to leave Pyongyang and go to Whitewater City to gather troops and horses to fight the Tang army, but Pyongyang did not prepare for the city's defense due to the nervous attack of the imminent enemy, but conspiracies and tricks were brewing.

Since several fierce battles with the Goguryeo rebels in Liaodong from March to March, Li Yu found that these Goguryeo rebels were not strong in combat effectiveness, and their will to fight was even weaker, and so far they have not found that the other side has a good general. Needless to say, their leader An Shun is a cowardly and fearful of life and death, and the real leader Jian Mucen is just a junior general who is not ranked in the name of the original Goguryeo.

Although many of the other generals in the Goguryeo rebels were generals of the former Goguryeo garrisons in the southern counties of the Korean Peninsula, most of them were mediocre and fearless by the fact that secret agents were sent to Pyongyang in recent months to investigate their details.

Li Yuyan is a soldier and horse, and half of the soldiers in the Ten Divine Beast Guards and Yanyun Iron Cavalry and Beihai Iron Cavalry will be the former Tang Dynasty soldiers and the children of the government soldiers who evaded the imperial court's military service. Many of them are still soldiers who participated in the war to destroy Goguryeo two years ago, and the other half are either rangers with swords and guns or heroes who have practiced martial arts since childhood and are ready to serve as soldiers and eat food, so there is no doubt about their combat effectiveness.

At present, Pyongyang is only 100 miles away, and the cavalry can be under the city after a long-distance attack for two days. This time, Li Yu thought about it again and again, and was ready to play the second biggest, just like Xue Rengui rushed to attack Pyongyang in Wuhai City.

As the main force of the Tang army led by Li Yu this time, the five guards: Yanyun Iron Cavalry Left and Right Guards, Beihai Iron Cavalry Left Guards, Qinglong Guards, and Chaos Guards, with a total strength of 15,000 people, half of which were cavalry, even if the other 5,000 infantry each had a horse to walk.

This is also thanks to Li Yu's cattle and sheep business after opening the mansion three years ago and the Turkic states under the jurisdiction of the Yu Duhu Prefecture located in Monandan. In addition, Li Yu was only in the capital to protect the mansion before, and the relationship between the two sides was hot, and Li Yu could buy excellent war horses from various Turkic states at a low price.

When Li Yushi led the governor of Youzhou, he bought a large number of war horses and pack horses from various Turkic states in the convenience of being close to the water, and then simply took advantage of the natural conditions of Youzhou and his local power and status to open a horse farm.

In two years, he not only bred hard-working Turkic horses, but also bred hundreds of Han blood horses and thousands of QH horses transported from the nine countries of Zhaowu.

The horses ridden by the left guards of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry and the Beihai Iron Cavalry are all QH horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all Turkic horses except for the generals who ride QH horses, and only dozens of elite sentinels pass on military information and ride sweat and blood horses.

Li Yu discussed with Xue Ne, Zhang Shi and other generals about the feasibility of a long-distance attack on Pyongyang, so he ordered all the soldiers to rush from the city of Huyi to Pyongyang without unloading their armor and horses, and quickly approaching Pyongyang.

Along the way, several small cities in Goguryeo saw the Tang army killing, and the guards either fled or knelt on the ground to surrender. In addition to humiliating the city in the north of Pyongyang, there are small cities with small people and widows, both Li Yu and the Goguryeo rebels do not value these cities, and the defenders can be described as extremely scarce, no more than a few hundred, Li Yu is too lazy to surrender, and sends someone to pass a sentence and wait for the follow-up Gao Chongde troops to collect and surrender.

When Jian Moucen left Pyongyang to gather the army, and a conspiracy to fight for power was brewing in the city, it was reported that the Tang army was only a few dozen miles away from Pyongyang, and the city was shocked three times a day.

An Shun was frightened, fearing that he would be surrounded by the Tang army in Pyongyang, and was caught by Weng Zhong like the Yuan boy two years ago, so he rushed and led the defenders of the city to withdraw from Pyongyang and rush to Nanjing and Seoul in the middle of the night.

On the morning of the second day after An Shun fled without a fight, the Tang soldiers who had arrived at Pyongyang City after two days of long-distance travel were sleepy and tired, and they thought that there would be a big battle under Pyongyang City, but they learned from the captured people that An Shun had fled to the south with his army last night, and Pyongyang was an empty city at this time.

In addition to being a little disappointed, the Tang army was also a little lucky, no matter how strong the people and horses were, they would be tired enough to choke after two days of non-stop.

"Your Highness, An Shun must be unstable when he flees in a panic, it is better to lead Yanyun Iron Cavalry to pursue him, even if he can't capture it, he can break his army in one battle." Xue Ne pleaded.

"Yes, Your Highness, An Shun has fled for only three or four hours now, and he has been walking at night, so he will definitely not be able to run far at this time, and our cavalry will be able to catch up in two hours." Zhang Shi also said with a willing face.

"Your Highness, the Beihai Iron Cavalry has not fought since it became an army, and I would like to ask Your Highness Xu to lead the army to help General Xue." The two brothers, Qin Jingqian and Qin Tong, who commanded the Beihai Iron Cavalry, were also full of war intentions and asked Li Yu for his life.

Li Yu looked at the tall Pyongyang city wall in front of him, more than 1,300 years later, this is the world's least known in the world, the nest of the golden three fat man, and will henceforth be used as his seat to rule the capital of the Andong region.

"The ancients said that the poor should not chase!"

"But Your Highness, the Goguryeo army is fleeing in a panic, how can it be poor?" Xue Ne said a little unwillingly.

Li Yu said with a smile: "Da Chen, the Goguryeo rebels rely on supporting people like An Shun who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they will brew their defeat through the scriptures, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated." At present, our army is tired, and the first thing to do is to go into the city to rest. What's more, there is not only one rebel army in Anshun around Pyongyang, but Jian Mou Cen went to Baishui City a few days ago to mobilize troops and horses, and his soldiers and horses are no less than tens of thousands, and the place where he cantoned troops is only a few dozen miles away from Pyongyang. If our army pursues An Shun with tired troops now, even if he is defeated, Jian Mucen will be given the opportunity to kill our army in the belly, and the situation of our army will not be good at that time. ”

Hearing this, although Xue Ne, Zhang Shi, Qin Jingqian, and Qin Tong brothers were unwilling, they had to dispel the idea of pursuing considering the sword Mou Cen that His Highness was worried about.

The entire Tang army marched into the city of Pyongyang, guarded the gates, and imposed a curfew on Pyongyang.

When the people in Pyongyang heard that the Tang army was about to attack a few days ago, many of them fled in fear of the scourge of war. After An Shun fled last night, there were not many people in the city in panic, and after dawn, a large number of people carried the fine soft and either followed An Shun to the south or fled to the countryside for refuge.

At this time, the residents of Pyongyang were counted by Li Yu to less than 10,000 people, and even the number of Tang troops entering the city was not comparable, which made Li Yu smash his tongue again and again. As the capital of Goguryeo for nearly 300 years, although the population is not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, there must be 120,000, but now it is less than 10,000, where is it still like a place of governance.

Only by pacifying the Goguryeo rebels as soon as possible can the prosperity of Pyongyang be restored. Li Yu thought of the sword hanging on the neck of the Tang army in Pyongyang City at this time, and it seemed that he had to wait in Pyongyang City for a few more days, and Gao Chongde and Li Shangdan would be able to fight a decisive battle with Jian Mucen after the soldiers and horses arrived.

On that day, Li Yu and his generals entered the former Goguryeo royal palace, which has stood for hundreds of years. As a powerful country in Haidong that could confront the Sui and Tang dynasties at the height of the great unification of China for decades, the palace it built is not as magnificent as the Daming Palace, but it also has the momentum of being a powerful country in the northeast for more than 800 years.

Most of the territory of Goguryeo was taken from the original four counties of China, and there were many Chinese living here, and its architectural style was deeply influenced by Chinese civilization, which was not much different from Chinese architecture.

Throughout the history of Goguryeo, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the most tenacious nation-state in the history of the world, and that it was the most civilized and promising and powerful regime born in the jungle region of northeastern China.

Otherwise, it is not enough for the four emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties to be reluctant to persevere, and they will be destroyed first.
