Chapter Seventy-Five: The Death of King Rongliu

Li Su saw the tragic situation of Anshi City opposite, but he felt that his heart was dripping blood, and at the same time scolded Li Ji for being a loser, only using black powder to achieve such an effect, God knows how much gunpowder they buried in the ground? It all costs money! I really don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and I am worried about wasting gunpowder when I built a mortar cannon.

Li Ji, who commanded the army to attack, was actually a little confused, the tunnel was dug a few days ago, but at that time, he was worried that the ice on the city wall had not melted, so he put a little more gunpowder, but he didn't expect that the weather was too warm in the past few days, and there was not much ice left on the city wall, and the result of this explosion was far beyond the effect he expected.

The battle went far smoother than everyone expected, the gunpowder not only blew down the city wall, but also killed the city lord Yang Wanchun on the spot, and there were thousands of casualties of the dead army of the King of Rongliu in Chapter 75, and nearly half of the armed forces in Anshi City were wiped out at once, and the remaining defenders were also leaderless, when the Tang army attacked the city, except for a few people who resisted stubbornly and were killed, most of them were robbed of their fighting spirit by the explosion of the southern city, and they did not dare to resist the Tang army at all. Therefore, in just a few hours, Anshi City has been cleared.

"King Rongliu, how about entering the city with me to settle the people?" After Li Shimin received the report, he said to King Rongliu with a smug face.

And King Rongliu is dead, the Tang Dynasty army is so sharp, even the army of Yuan Gai Suwen can not conquer Anshi City, even for a few hours, even for a few hours, in this way, who else in their Goguryeo can stop the Tang Dynasty's whale swallowing trend? In fact, there is no need to think about this question at all, there is only one answer, that is, no. Their demise of Goguryeo was almost a foregone conclusion.

Thinking of this, King Rongliu is all lost. His wife and subordinates are all dead, and there is no hope of recovering the country. Now even the country that no longer belongs to itself will be destroyed by foreign enemies, and even the name of Goguryeo will become history, and he will be recorded in the annals of history as the last king of Goguryeo. He was scolded and despised by countless people.

Li Shimin proudly asked King Rongliu to accompany him into Chapter 75 The City of the Death of King Rongliu, firstly, to show off as a victor, and secondly, to use his identity to appease the people in the city. But after he called the other party, King Rongliu stood there motionless as if he hadn't heard it, so Li Shimin had to shout again: "King Rongliu, accompany me into the city!" ”

This time finally woke up King Rongliu who was in a daze, only to see the other party raise his head, swept Li Shimin and the Tang army soldiers with confused eyes, and then showed a decisive look, suddenly turned around, and snatched a horizontal knife from the waist of a Tang army soldier next to him. 'Chok~' pulled out.

Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw the other party's actions, he was not worried about his own safety, and the guards around him did not say anything for the time being, even if he and this old Rongliu were single-handed, they could kill the other party in three moves. However, Li Su was inexperienced, and was taken aback by the other party's actions, so he hurriedly drew his knife to guard against the other party's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, which was not good for Li Shimin.

However, after King Rongliu drew his sword. did not pounce on Li Shimin with all his might, but put the sharp horizontal knife on his neck, and smiled at Li Shimin with a desolate face: "Your Majesty, your Tang army is strong, and the defeat of my Goguryeo has been decided, but as the lord of the country, I will never surrender to outsiders!" ”

As he spoke, King Rongliu pushed his arm hard, and the sharp horizontal knife cut through his throat, and then a burst of blood spurted out, sprinkled on the land that had been occupied by the Tang army, and then the corpse fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a layer of dusky soil. The last lord of Goguryeo died in front of Li Shimin and Li Su's father and son.

Everything came too suddenly, and no one thought that this Goguryeo lord, who was driven out of Pyongyang by the Yuan clan, would be so fierce that he would rather die than surrender to the Tang army. Even Li Shimin didn't have time to stop him, and the surrounding Tang Army soldiers were even more stunned, even Li Su was no exception.

Li Shimin looked at the corpse of King Rongliu on the ground, his face was blue and red for a while, as soon as King Rongliu died, it would not be so easy to appease the subjects of Goguryeo in the future, and even the future war would be affected. Thinking of this, Li Shimin was angry with King Rongliu, but now that everyone is dead, there is no place for the fire in his stomach to be released, so he can't whip the corpse in front of so many people, right?

Li Su also discovered Li Shimin's abnormality, and was afraid that he would make some unwise moves, so he stepped forward and said, "Father! Although King Rongliu does not know the current affairs, he is always the lord of a country, and now that he is dead, in order to show my benevolence and righteousness, he should be buried with the rites of the lord of the country! ”

Although Li Shimin was furious in his heart, he also knew the severity, and after listening to Li Su's words, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Well, what Liulang said is right, come here, collect the body of King Rongliu well, and bury it tomorrow, and order someone to spread the word that Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, colluded with the Yuan clan and killed King Rongliu, and my Tang Dynasty benevolent and righteous army will definitely capture Pyongyang City and seize the Yuan clan to avenge King Rongliu!" ”

Li Shimin deserved to be the king of a country, and immediately pushed the death of King Rongliu to the heads of Yang Wanchun and the Yuan clan as agreed in Chang'an City, and played the banner of avenging King Rongliu, and suddenly stood at the highest point of morality. Although this reason is full of flaws, and there are many people who know the truth, as long as the official of Datang insists that this is the truth, and even records it in the history books, it is estimated that many years later, Li Shimin's words will become a historical fact recognized by countless people.

Li Su next to him also felt speechless for a while, thinking that history is really a little girl who can be dressed up, only the winner writes history, as for the loser, he is just a fictional character written by the winner, and he can make it up as he wants, everything depends on the needs and mood of the winner.

In the battle of Anshi City, there was no large-scale battle at all, and not many people were injured, so Li Su, a medical officer, was very leisurely, guiding thousands of medical soldiers to take turns to practice once. What, there are not enough wounded, so why not take the wound apart and treat it again?

After tossing the wounded, Li Su accompanied Li Shimin to appease the people in the city, although there were many Han people in the city of Anshi, but under the rule of Goguryeo for many years, there was no sense of identity with the Tang Dynasty, plus the original city lord Yang Wanchun, had a high prestige among the people, so when the army first entered the city, there was also an attack on the Tang army.

For this kind of thing, Li Shimin decisively ordered to suppress it by brutal means, and then appeased it by means such as distributing food.

"What? Hasn't Jiurou been with you all the time, why did Rokuro ask about me instead? When Li Daozong heard Li Su ask him about Li Yong's whereabouts, he immediately asked with a surprised face. He went to meet Li Shimin a few days ago, but later he was sent to the rear to escort a large amount of grain and grass, but he failed to catch up with the battle of Anshi City, and did not return until today. But as soon as he came back, he was immediately approached by Li Su to ask for someone.

"Uncle Huang, don't scare me, where else can Jiulang go except for you?" As soon as Li Yu heard Li Daozong's words, there was an immediate 'buzz~' sound in his head, and the whole person was stupid, if Li Yong was not here with Li Daozong, then where did he go?

"Rokuro, what the hell is going on, is something wrong with Kuro?" Li Daozong asked with a serious face, judging from Li Yong's words and deeds, Li Yong must have something wrong, he has the best relationship with Li Xiaogong, and he is Li Yong's elder, he usually beats and scolds as his own son, and now if something happens, he can't explain it to Li Xiaogong.

It seems that Li Daozong really hasn't seen Li Yong, now Li Yu is really panicked, he heard Su Dingfang say that after Li Yong said goodbye to them, he came north to find Li Daozong, but now Li Daozong didn't see him, and at that time, there were countless troops in Liaodong, if Li Yong had any accidents, then he would be guilty for a lifetime.

Seeing Li Yong's unruly appearance, Li Daozong became even more anxious, and asked Li Yong again and again what happened. Li Su was helpless, so he had to tell Li Yong what happened to him, but after Li Daozong heard it, he was happy and worried. Happily, the clan brother Li Xiaogong finally has a good son, although he is a little inconsiderate, but this ambition is very rare. But now this ambitious nephew doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, which also makes him very worried.

There was no news of Li Yong, which made Li Su and Li Daozong very anxious, the two thought about it, but there was no way, and finally they had to go to Li Shimin together, and told him about the matter, hoping that he would give an order to send people to look around, and to say something unpleasant, even if the person died, at least the body must be found.

Hearing that Li Xiaogong's son was missing, Li Shimin naturally attached great importance to it, first severely criticized Li Su, and then sent people to look for it, but so much time has passed, and the ghost place in Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not easy to find someone, so I searched for several days, but I didn't even find a figure.

Although Li Yong's identity is very important, it is impossible for Li Shimin to delay the itinerary of the army because he is alone, and after ordering the garrison army to continue searching, the 100,000 Tang army rose up again, swept all the way to the east, and captured Goguryeo's last stronghold in Liaodong, Wugucheng, after the army crossed the Yalu River in a tangle, and the army officially entered the Korean Peninsula in later generations.

At the same time, Silla and Baekje, who had been holding back a few years ago, finally showed their fangs and asked Li Shimin for instructions, and the two countries marched separately and captured the vast territory east of Pyongyang City in one fell swoop.

It's just that Li Su is very unhappy with the two small countries of Silla and Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty finally beat Goguryeo half to death, but they ran out and took a bite of fat and occupied all the land east of Pyongyang, which is simply a clear robbery! But now he can't spare his hands, and when the war on Goguryeo's side is certain, he has the means to clean them up! (To be continued)RQ!!
