Chapter 232: The Tang Army Enters Goguryeo
When he heard the news of Goguryeo's surrender, Zhang Yuanjian couldn't believe it, and even almost had to deal with the military law of the herald who came to report.
But when he rushed out of the tent and saw Yang Dengshan in front of the camp, he was so convinced. And after seeing the table of surrender offered by Yang Dengshan kneeling, he was really sure that the news was true, and it turned out that the pure yang immortals went to the Goguryeo royal city.
At this point, he thoroughly confirmed the accuracy of the news, after all, before, the Pure Yang Immortals had come to his handsome tent, and they did go to Goguryeo.
At this time, the Tang army directly marched towards the Great Wall of Goguryeo. But in the process, he still maintained enough vigilance and even sent a team to test it. After all, if this is really a ruse laid down by the Goguryeo people, then it is just a loss of the pathfinder team.
However, when this team entered the Great Wall of Goguryeo, they saw that all the Goguryeo soldiers had already taken off their armor and weapons, all of them were unarmed and even turned gray.
They didn't understand why the king suddenly ordered him to surrender directly, even though he could still resist the attack of the Tang army. So at this moment, these Goguryeo soldiers all glared angrily at the Tang army entering the city.
If the gaze could kill, then these Datang soldiers would have died a long time ago, but this is only if, no matter how vicious the gaze is, it will not be able to kill the enemy. After all, they are just ordinary people, and even so many years of confrontation and war have made these Goguryeo soldiers all yellow-faced and thin.
War is about food and grass, and it is about money. Goguryeo was not rich, and the supply of food and grass for their soldiers was indeed insufficient, but there was no way, they knew that if the Tang Dynasty broke through this line of defense, their country would be finished, so they had to fight back.
And at this moment, the Tang Dynasty did not break through the defense line of the Great Wall, and their country still died, and from the moment the supreme king of Goryeo surrendered, there was no hope for the whole of Goguryeo.
After receiving the information from the temptation team, Zhang Yuanjian directly ordered the army to march and pour into the Great Wall of Goguryeo, and took over all the forces and took all the Goguryeo soldiers into custody. At this moment, the entire area of the Great Wall near Goguryeo became a place for prisoners.
When entering the Great Wall of Goguryeo, Zhang Yuanjian directly sent a Hongling urgent report to Chang'an with an expedited 800 li, giving a detailed account of the situation here, and then asked Emperor Li Er to decide whether to continue to go deeper.
On the other side, Yuan Gai Suwen walked halfway, and he was always worried in his heart: Why did Gao Jianwu dare to touch his father? You must know that Yuan Taizuo is now the biggest power holder in Goguryeo besides Gao Jianwu. Even most of the Goguryeo ministers above the court were on the side of their Yuan family.
Obviously, there is a secret in this that he absolutely does not know, and even letting him return to the king this time is a complete conspiracy. However, it is absolutely not groundless that the royal decree that issued the news of his father's death was able to reach the border of the Great Wall with great fanfare.
And there are so many ministers on their side, but none of them came to report the news, obviously they ...... Thinking of this, Yuan Gai Suwen felt a chill in his heart, and felt extremely inappropriate.
"No, we can't go back to the royal capital, let's go directly to Anshi City and take it there!" Yuangai Suwen's keen senses gave him a new goal and a turning point, if he returned to the royal capital directly, he would definitely be directly removed by Gao Jianwu with all his military power and official positions, and let him go home to guard his filial piety.
However, Anseong City is the largest military city in Goguryeo except for Liaodong City and Dawang City, and there are tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops here, as long as you take here, then there is still a glimmer of hope. Yuangai Suwen believed that his father should not have had an accident yet, but was taken down by Gao Jianwu, and lied that he was dead just to arrest him.
So as long as there is the military power of Anshi City in hand, then his family or something should be Gao Jianwu's best bargaining chip to save their lives, and then slowly figure it out. If he really returns to the royal capital, then the Yuan family really has no hope.
Thinking of this, Yuangai Suwen felt more and more that his thoughts were correct, so he turned around and thought about Anshi City, and he wanted to quickly take control of Anshi City.
It's just that Yuangai Suwen's idea is very good, but will everything go according to his idea? Gao Jianwu has been in charge of Goguryeo for some years, and he has a deep understanding of Yuangai Suwen, so he has already had a countermeasure.
"I'm afraid that Yuangai Suwen will not return to the royal city so easily, I am afraid that there will be complications. I have to guard against it! Gao Jianwu had already thought of this when he gave the order, and then sent several people close to him and asked them to go to the major garrisons of Goguryeo.
And on the side of Anshi City, it is Gao Jianwu's own family, Gao Huizhen. With Gao Jianwu's will, he was directly in charge of the army of Anshi City, and if Yuangai Suwen didn't come, he would take it directly. After all, it is impossible to pass through this Anshi City from the Great Wall to the king, and since Yuangai Suwen is here, it means that he has two hearts.
Everything is like a pocket that has long been opened, just waiting for Yuangai Suwen to enter the urn. It's just that everything is business as usual.
The will brought by Gao Huizhen was to first guard against Yuan Gai Suwen, and if he came, he would be arrested, and if he didn't come, then after March, he would directly surrender to the Tang Dynasty. He was also a member of Lu Hanyang's enslavement seal, so he did not resist this order at all.
And Gao Jianwu's actions are not only like this, he directly replaced almost all the commanders of the army in Goguryeo, these are all people who have been enslaved by Fu Seal, and they are all high-ranking and powerful kinds, and it is very reasonable to replace the original guards.
Due to the fact that the news does not spread fast in this era, the replacement of these guards only thinks that they are the only ones who have been replaced, which is a normal change of defense. It does not mean at all that all the Goguryeo army is under the control of the capitulation faction.
This cleared the last obstacle to the surrender of the whole country of Goguryeo, and those who were unwilling to surrender all lost their military power. Those who are now in charge of military power will directly open the door and offer the city when the Tang army comes in the future.
And Yuangai Suwen hurried along the way, came to the outside of Anshi, and was greeted by the defenders, but what was waiting for him was not that he launched a mutiny to seize the city, but that the soldiers defending the city took him down directly, making him feel like a moth to a fire.
Goguryeo surrendered, and Lu Hanyang lingered here for a while, checked what the effect was, and after determining that the effect was significant, he did not stay here anymore and went directly to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
