Those who achieve great things in one sentence do not seek to share Gao Jianwu's intentions with the public.

Since his accession to the throne from his brother, there has been a lot of controversy, and the ministers of Goguryeo have always compared him to his brother. The previous king of Goguryeo had four great achievements in repelling the attacks of the Sui army, but he was unknown.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, as the powerful minister of Goguryeo, the western lord, Jian Da has always been disrespectful to Lu Yuan Taizuo. Yuan Taizuo has strong power, and his men and horses have experienced several battles against Liao, tempering a hundred battle elites, and the soldiers of the Shunnu Department under his command have 30,000 armor, which can be called the strongest combat power in the five divisions of Goguryeo, which gives the Shunnu generals under the command of Yuan Taizuo a lot of confidence. In addition, Goguryeo has always been very strict in the antagonism between the north and the south. When Yang Xuan rebelled, Yuan Taizuo and other northern generals Jianyi took this opportunity to attack Liaoshui and invaded the Han land, while Gao Jianwu and other southern factions representing the royal power advocated taking advantage of the defeat of the Sui Dynasty to negotiate peace with him.

The final result was that Goguryeo and Sui negotiated peace, and Yuan Taizuo was greatly dissatisfied when he heard this, and threatened to give Gao Jianwu a good look. Of course, Gao Jianwu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, Yuan Taizuo was old at the time, and he had always intended to pass on the position of the Great Pair Lu to his son Yuan Gai Suwen.

However, Gao Jianwu got in the way and united a group of ministers to oppose it, and finally made the position of the big pair of Lu pass to Yizhi Wende. Yuan Taizuo died of illness until he died, and Da Zheng Lu was still in charge of Yizhi Wende, and it was not passed on to his son. As a result, after Yuan Taizuo fell ill and died, the confrontation between the north and the south of Goguryeo became stricter, and his son Yuan Gai Suwen has been self-respecting since then, and he has not taken Gao Jianwu seriously.

Gao Jianwu heard what his ministers said and made up his mind. He wanted a big victory to establish his prestige in Goguryeo. So he immediately threw Peiyu on his waist to the ground and said to the ministers on the left and right: "I have made up my mind." Tonight, I led 2,000 men to attack the Zhao army at night, and the rest of the people gave me to guard the city without any objections. ”

The jade pendant was shattered on the ground, expressing Gao Jianwu's determination, and everyone agreed at the moment,

That night, 2,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers under Gao Jianwu took advantage of the night to descend from Dacheng Mountain City. The remaining 3,000 men and horses were guarding the key points in the mountain city. You must know the six peaks of Dacheng Mountain. It is the most difficult to surround the city with ramparts, but it is definitely more than enough for 3,000 men to defend this city.

Although Gao Jianwu is eager to win, he is not reckless.

However, it was said that Goguryeo, which was attacked by 2,000 people who came down the mountain, contacted the city and responded to it, and it was difficult that night. The soldiers had just arrived at the city gate, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and the rangers who had been arranged by Li Chongjiu to patrol outside the city appeared.

Ride in the first place. and the trumpet sounded. The sound of the horn resounded in the night, and countless torches were suddenly added to the walls of Pyongyang City, and the soldiers of Zhao rushed to the head of the city to garrison as soon as possible.

At this time, the Goguryeo Neiying in the city was about to set fire everywhere, but at this time, the horn sounded, and the streets and alleys under the city were blown. The soldiers of the Zhao army patrolling the city were all dispatched, and these internal responses were caught off guard, and most of them were arrested red-handed. Li Chongjiu climbed the city tower, but saw that the torches in the north of the city were bright, and Goguryeo had 2,000 men and horses attacking at night. was going to attack the city, but he saw that the matter was revealed. Immediately withdraw troops.

Li Chongjiu laughed when he saw this, and said to Zhang Xuansu on the side: "If it is true that the Goguryeo people want to repeat their old tricks and attack Pyongyang City at night, they didn't expect that I was waiting for him." ”

Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo people are also very cautious, and the people who sent out to attack the city are only a small group of people." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "I know, but no matter how careful the Goguryeo people are, they can't expect my plan." ”

After the intention of the night attack was revealed, the 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers saw that there were not many cavalry pursued by the Zhao army behind them, and immediately decided to take advantage of the night and retreat to the mountain fortress of Dacheng.

When the defenders at the south gate heard that their troops had returned, they immediately opened the gate and let them go. At this time, there was a sudden sound of killing at the south gate, and it turned out that the Zhao army had laid an ambush here at the south gate.

The Goguryeo soldiers were shocked, and immediately retreated into the city while facing the battle.

The south gate of Dacheng Mountain City was half opened, and Gao Tao and others led hundreds of Sui soldiers to pretend to be Goguryeo soldiers, and they also wanted to blend into the city.

At this time, the night was dark, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and it was the Zhao army that attacked, and all the Goguryeo soldiers were in a hurry to enter the city, and everyone was in a hurry. And Gao Tao and other soldiers all spoke loudly in Goguryeo, and no one thought that Zhao Jun would be proficient in Goguryeo's language, and all Goguryeo people had no doubts.

Gao Tao and others strode into the city gate, and hundreds of soldiers passed through the south gate along with the Goguryeo soldiers. After everyone entered the city gate, Gao Tao and the others glanced at the people on the left and right, and dozens of people followed him to grab the city gate.

Several Goguryeo soldiers were guarding the horse road, and when they saw Gao Tao and others coming up, they immediately scolded: "Are you blind? The city gate is in that direction, what are you doing in the city? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gao Tao and a few others were smiling all over their faces, making amends while answering in Goguryeo, but they still walked on the city road. Seeing this, the other party's expression changed, and he was about to shout, but Gao Tao took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, dragged the other party closer, and took out a knife in his hand and poked it into the other party's throat.

Blood splashed all over Gao Tao's body, and when he made a move, the soldiers under his command all changed their hideous colors, turned their faces and drew their knives and slashed at them. On the city gate road below, the soldiers of Zhao all turned their faces and drew their swords to the nearby Goguryeo soldiers beside them to kill.

"Kill the Goguryeo dog!"

Hundreds of soldiers tied white scarves around their arms, and then shouted in the sky.

Gao Jianwu, who was watching the battle in the city, heard this Chinese language, and immediately asked in fright: "What's going on?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud battle ahead, and in the firelight, countless shadows should be on the city wall, drawing swords and fighting each other. The city was in chaos, and the ministers of Goguryeo were all panicked at the moment.

Soon the sound of horses' hooves rolled up, and I saw that under the city, the iron cavalry of the Zhao army rampaged into the city, unimpeded.

When Gao Jianwu saw this scene, he suddenly felt powerless.

"King! King! ”

A blood-stained general, almost using his hands and feet to climb up the mountain from the stone steps under the mountain, said to Gao Jianwu: "King, the last general is incompetent, let the Zhao army mix into the city, and now the Zhao army pretends to be our sergeant and wantonly set fire to kill people in the city, and the last general can't stop it, and the Zhao army has captured a city gate." ”

Gao Jianwu said in a trembling voice: "This, how can this be." ”

The ministers on the left and right also beat their chests and paused each other, saying that those who sent troops to attack at night should be killed.

When it came to the end, Gao Jianwu calmed down and said: "Don't panic, the mountain road is so long, the Zhao army can't attack it, immediately find a trusted soldier, close the door, and don't put any of them, understand?" The safety of the queen and the royal family is at stake. ”

"Yes." The ministers listened to Gao Jianwu's orders, and the next general ordered the soldiers to close the gate of the mountain.
