On July 23, the 21st year of Guanguan, Li Zhen, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, led an army of more than 230,000 people to cross the Yalu River and enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, with more than 10,000 men and horses under Xue Rengui as the vanguard, and waved his army to take Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo. On the ninth day of August in the 21st year of Zhenguan, the main force of Li Zhen's department arrived in Xishui, and then the whole army launched a forced crossing, and the defenders did not dare to fight, so they retreated back to the city to defend it, and the Tang army set up a large camp three miles away from the city; On August 13, the 21st year of Zhenguan, Xue Wanche of the Tang Army on the southern front rushed to Pyongyang with the army of Silla Jin Chunqiu and joined forces with the main force of the Tang Army, and the total strength of the coalition army was as high as more than 400,000 people.

It is a good thing to successfully surround the city of Pyongyang, but it is not so simple to take Pyongyang, you must know that Goguryeo has been operating in Pyongyang City for more than 100 years, the city is tall and strong, and the city is equipped with all kinds of offensive and defensive equipment, and according to the "Rising Sun" news, as early as the fall of the Black Bone City, Yuangai Suwen has immediately ordered the contraction of the defense line, and mobilized all the elite troops scattered throughout the country and the grain and grass baggage to Pyongyang City, and the idea of fighting is to delay the change. The actual number of troops in Pyongyang has reached nearly 70,000, and the total number of troops is definitely more than 100,000, although it is less than a quarter of the Tang and Xin coalition forces, and the level of training is far inferior to the Tang army, but after all, it is defending the city, and it is not easy for the Tang army to break through the city, which Li Zhen has a very clear understanding of.

The ancients said: Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, this is not false at all, don't look at the fact that Pyongyang City has been surrounded by regiments, but Li Zhen does not dare to take it lightly - as a traverser, Li Zhen clearly remembers that in the time and space from which it came, the Tang army had besieged Pyongyang City twice, the first time was led by Su Dingfang to lead more than 200,000 troops, and the siege on all sides lasted for several months, but in the end, because the army was running out of food and grass, he had to temporarily suspend his troops, and Yuangai Suwen took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, concentrating his forces to attack the general Pang Xiaotai's department in Snake Water, and fought fiercely for a day, Pang Xiaotai's whole army was exhausted, and more than a dozen generals were all killed, which was the "defeat of Snake Water", the Tang army finally returned with hatred, and the cities of Goguryeo had to be surrendered, and the old soldiers of the division were tired, but they gained nothing; The second time, the reason why Li Ji led his troops to break through Pyongyang City was not because of the siege, but because of the civil strife in Goguryeo, the generals were not in harmony, which caused the generals defending the city to turn against the water and let the Tang army enter the city, which can be regarded as completely extinguishing the recalcitrant country of Goguryeo.

The city of Pyongyang is not easy to fight, but no matter how difficult it is, it has to be fought, it is just a question of how to fight, luring the enemy out of the city to fight in the field? This is naturally the best plan to break the enemy, but unfortunately there is no such possibility - although Li Zhen has never seen Yuan Gai Suwen himself, from the information collected by the "Rising Sun", he knows a lot about his person, and knows that this person acts decisively, not an idle person, in terms of his previous measures to shrink his forces, he has already made up his mind to delay and wait for change, and it is not feasible to deceive him into going out of the city for a decisive battle; All-out assault? There is a little hope of breaking through the city in a short period of time, but in this way, the loss of troops will be great, and secondly, there is just hope, not absolutely able to break through the city, even if there are gunpowder, muskets and other sharp weapons to help, but it may not be able to succeed, once the rush can not be attacked, morale is one thing, and under the delay, the army's grain and straw can become a problem - although it is a good idea to ship grain and grass by sea, but the sea route is long, and the rotation remains unchanged, And the Tang officers and soldiers were extremely difficult to endure the cold of the harsh winter of Goguryeo, and if they were not careful, the "defeat of the snake water" would be repeated in the hands of Li Zhen, and this was not the result that Li Zhen was willing to bear.

Either don't attack, one attack will be down, it's easy to say, but it's difficult to do, although Li Zhen has repeatedly deduced how to fight the offensive and defensive battle in Pyongyang before the expedition, and he has some numbers in his heart, but the deduction is just a deduction, which does not mean that it will be successful, at least so far, Li Zhen still has some doubts about the tactical arrangement of this battle, so although he has arrived in the city for several days, Li Zhen has never ordered the whole army to attack the city, but only asked the armies to step up their rest and prepare various siege equipment, for conquest.

At the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhen ordered to reward the whole army, a jar of wine per group, half a catty of meat per person, the three armies were thunderous, the barracks were full of laughter and laughter of dinners, and the generals did not stop it, let the soldiers laugh, after all, in the more than half a year of the campaign, the army's heart has always been tight, and it is really commendable to get a spare time, and it is very beneficial to the adjustment of morale, but Li Zhen, the commander of the army, did not have fun with the crowd, and was alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, facing a large sand table, silently thinking about a good strategy to break the enemy.

"Your Highness." Just as Li Zhen was pondering, Yingda strode in from outside the tent and called in a low voice.

"Huh?" Li Zhen heard the sound, raised her head, and when she saw that it was Yingda, she frowned slightly and whispered lightly, her face full of inquiry.

"Your Highness, there are Goguryeo envoys outside the camp who come to see His Highness, and the leader claims to be Goguryeo Mo Zhili (Goguryeo's official name, equivalent to the position of prime minister. Gao Renwu, please show your Highness. Yingda has been following Li Zhen for a long time, and he knows that when Li Zhen is studying strategy and tactics, he is most annoyed by being disturbed.

"Gao Renwu?" When Li Zhen heard that it was Gao Renwu coming, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly laughed and said: "Are all the people who come here, pass the order, open the camp gate, and all the generals will go with Gu to greet each other!" ”

"This ......" Ying Da heard Li Zhen's words, and was a little dumbfounded, you must know that Li Zhen is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he personally went to meet the prime minister of a small country like Goguryeo, how to look at it doesn't look like the same thing, just hesitating, seeing Li Zhen's face, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly replied "yes", and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army. From all directions, they rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army......

Outside the Tang army camp, more than a dozen Goguryeo elite cavalry rode horses and stood at a distance of more than 30 steps from the barracks, although the knife was not unsheathed, the horse lance was all hung on the victory hook, which seemed to be standing at will, but the nervous look on the faces of the crowd had already shown everyone's vigilance, and the hand that grabbed the horse reins was even more white because of the excessive **, which is no wonder that the Goguryeo cavalry were timid, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Tang strong troops in the camp. It was the thick murderous aura from the hundreds of Tang army cavalry sentries galloping back and forth with guns and horses a hundred paces away, which was enough for these Goguryeo cavalry to be frightened, but the two Goguryeo officials standing a few steps away from the camp gate were very calm, and they always stood there quietly, quite with a lot of bearing, these two people were the main and deputy envoys of Goguryeo - the shorter and weaker was the Goguryeo prince Gao Renwu, and the burly man standing next to him was the eldest son of Yuangai Suwen.

"Brother Wu, it's been like this, shouldn't it be ......" The Yuan boy was born as a military general, and his temperament was a little anxious, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, he was already a little impatient, turned sideways, and asked Gao Renwu in a low voice.

Gao Renwu is the eldest son of the Treasure King, and he is Mo Zhili, his identity seems to be extremely noble, but in fact he is just a puppet of Yuangai Suwen, but then again, the reason why the Treasure King can ascend the throne is also because of the full support of Yuangai Suwen, otherwise, the Treasure King is just an ordinary clan, in this sense, the two families are good together, and Gao Renwu and Yuannan are close in age, grew up together, and have a good relationship with each other, and have always been commensurate with brothers, and one article and one martial arts also complement each other, Gao Renwu, who knew the importance of this trip, saw that the Yuan boy showed impatience, so he hurriedly made a quiet gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, brother, just wait." ”

"Hmm." Yuan boy and Gao Renwu received the order together, although they didn't fully know why their own Lao Tzu had to come to such a pre-war peace, but they also knew that this trip was careless, and when they heard Gao Renwu say this, they had to nod their heads, and waited for the general with a calm face.

"Woo woo ......" just when Yuan boy and Gao Renwu whispered, a terrible horn suddenly sounded in the Tang army camp, and then a chaotic roar in the military camp suddenly rose, and a team of brightly armored Tang officers and soldiers rushed out from all over the barracks, forming a neat line on both sides of the camp gate, and the aura of slaughter suddenly rose, startling Yuan and Gao for a long time in panic, and when they were looking at each other, But seeing a large group of generals dressed in Mingguang armor surrounded by a burly young man in the Ming Emperor's robe, he walked out from the depths of the barracks, and the sharp-eyed Gao Renwu recognized that the person was Li Zhen, the current prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Foreign Minister Gao Renwu (Yuan boy) See His Royal Highness the Prince." As soon as he saw Li Zhen approaching, Gao Renwu hurriedly pulled the Yuan boy, hurriedly stepped forward, and bowed to the Tao.

"Hahaha......" Li Zhen smiled heartily, strode over, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao is polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, hehe, go to Beijing to say goodbye, it's been nearly a year now, everything is okay in Brother Tai?" ”

"Okay, good, thank you Your Highness for your inquiry, everything is fine with the minister." Gao Renwu had seen Li Zhen when he went to the Tang Dynasty to seek peace, but in fact, he only talked a few words, not a deep friendship, at this time, seeing Li Zhen so polite, his heart couldn't help but be a little flattered, but on such occasions, he had his own doubts, but he could only hold back, and he could only be polite in his mouth.

"Okay, everything is a blessing, come, come, come, today I want to have a drink with my brother, by the way, catch up with the old, go, go into the camp to talk." Li Zhen laughed, grabbed Gao Renwu's arm without saying anything, and welcomed him into the camp, such an affectionate state, he saw that the Yuan boy was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask, he could only follow behind, and he also planned to enter the Tang Army camp, but unexpectedly, several captains on the side flashed out, blocking the way of the Yuan boy, and unceremoniously broke off: "Er'an dares to trespass into the military camp and look for death?" ”

"A certain deputy envoy, how can you be so rude." Seeing this, the Yuan boy's heart was on fire, but in the face of the fierce captains of the Tang Army, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only explain patiently.

"Your Highness, please only make a friend, do something serious, stand back, or die!" The lieutenants didn't listen to the explanation of the boy Yuan at all, and each drew his knife in his hand and scolded loudly.

Yuan boy came this time with the task of exploring the reality of the Tang camp, and when he saw that the Tang army refused to let him go, he was anxious, but in the face of the bright horizontal knife, he didn't dare to break in, and in a hurry, he didn't care about face, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Ren Wu, Ren Wu, the little brother is not allowed to enter." ”

Gao Renwu was dragged into the camp by Li Zhen, and was surrounded by a large group of Tang Army generals, how could he see the situation of the boys behind him, he heard the wrong voice, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he hurriedly peeked at Li Zhen's face, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, a certain deputy is still outside the camp, you can see ......"

"Alas, Brother Gao mistakenly, this time I invited Brother Tai to enter the camp, just to catch up on the old days, not to talk about business, hehe, go, today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, I should be happy, and I am not drunk and have no home!" Li Zhen smiled, didn't pay attention to Gao Renwu's struggle at all, added a little strength in his hand, and pulled Gao Renwu to the big tent of the Chinese army, poor Gao Renwu is just a literati, although he can also do martial arts, but he can earn Li Zhen's divine power, and in desperation, he has to be pulled forward, as for the call of the Yuan boy, he can only be regarded as not heard.

"Brother Gao, come, drink, this wine is called 'Wangchun', it is a newly brewed thing, Lone only got a few jars, if it weren't for Brother Gao, Lone was reluctant to take it out, come, and drink a bottle, try the taste?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Zhengao sat in the main seat, and let Gao Renwu to the front guest seat, and ordered all the generals to accompany the guests, arranged for the guards to serve wine and delicacies, picked up the wine bottle with a smile, compared with Gao Renwu, and smiled and persuaded the wine.

The north is cold and freezing, both men and women are good at drinking, Gao Renwu is no exception, the same good mouth, in previous years, always try to smuggle some "victorious return" from the Tang Dynasty to survive the harsh winter, if it is usual, I heard that there is good wine to drink, I am very happy, but at this time in the Tang camp, in the face of Li Zhen such a strong man, Gao Renwu has no intention of drinking, but Li Zhen has opened his mouth, even if it is poison in front of him, Gao Renwu can only drink it hard, this forced a smile and drank a bottle, and instantly felt that his throat was hot, Suddenly exhaled a breath of heat, all the pores of the whole body were dilated, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Good, good name, good wine!" ”

"Haha......" Li Zhen was in a happy mood when he heard Gao Renwu call for good wine, so he laughed out loud and said: "Since Brother Gao likes this wine, he will send a few jars when he turns around, and slowly drink it." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." Gao Renwu grabbed Li Zhen's happy moment, thanked him first, and then hurriedly continued: "Your Highness, this is ......."

"Senior brother, come, drink, if there is something to discuss in the future, come, drink a bottle again." Li Zhen didn't give Gao Renwu a chance to talk about business at all, and didn't wait for Gao Renwu to finish speaking, he immediately picked up the wine bottle again and said with a smile.

Drink, drink again, Li Zhen constantly persuaded to drink, even if Gao Renwu was reluctant, he could only keep drinking, this drink will come down, less than half an hour, a jar of wine placed in front of Gao Renwu will see the bottom, poor Gao Renwu Although he is also a person with a good amount of alcohol, he was poured by Li Zhen so violently, and immediately some of his children couldn't bear it, although it was not to the point of falling to the ground on the spot, but dizziness was inevitable, taking advantage of the moment when the guards waiting behind him changed the wine altar, Gao Renwu couldn't hold it anymore and stood up, He bowed to Li Zhen and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the foreign minister is here on the order of his father, and came to negotiate peace, my high-sentence enemy Long Wushuwu Li has offended Tianwei many times, it is really a big mistake, His Royal Highness led the army to learn a lesson, the country does not dare to resist Tianwei again, and I wish to be a subject country of the Tang Dynasty for generations, I implore Your Highness to give the country a chance to be reborn, and the foreign minister and the deputy Yuan boy are willing to be protons, please allow Your Highness." At this point, Gao Renwu fell to the ground on his knees, kowtowed again and again, and actually broke his forehead, blood seeped out, and his face was all over the place.

"Senior brother, why is this so difficult, come, please hurry up, I said that today I only talk about the past, don't talk about business, do you want to be lonely and embarrassed?" Li Zhen's face changed, and she snorted coldly as if she was extremely unhappy, and said with displeasure.

"Your Royal Highness, it is not that the foreign minister is rude, but now that the family and country are about to be lost, the foreign minister is really desperate, I implore Your Highness to be merciful, and the foreign minister is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay His Highness's great kindness." Gao Renwu also let go at this time, kowtowed, and then pleaded.

"That's it, that's it, who let Gu and Er feel like each other at first sight, Gu Shi can't bear to see the senior brother embarrassed, since Er insists on talking about this matter, Gu will give Er a face, and get up to talk." Li Zhen's complexion changed a few times, and she seemed to be extremely angry, but at the end, she still didn't have a seizure, but sighed and raised her hand in vain.

"Thank you Your Highness for your love, and the minister is willing to die in return." As soon as Gao Renwu heard that there was a door to the matter, he got up and bowed down to thank him.

"Then listen, Lone's condition is very simple, as long as the father and son are willing to tie up Yuangai Suwen, the old thief who usurped the country, and send it, Lone will not be for himself, not only will Bao'er and his son still be in charge, but they can return your country's original lost land, that is, it is not impossible for the land of Baekje to be promised to Er, do you understand?" Li Zhen's face was straight, and he stared at Gao Ren's enemy Long Wushuwu for a long time, and then slowly said the conditions.

"Ah, this ......" As soon as Gao Renwu heard that this was such a condition, his enthusiasm immediately fell to the freezing point, but his father and son were just puppets of Yuangai Suwen, and the full government was controlled by Yuangai Suwen and his son, and there was no possibility of tying up Yuangai Suwen's father and son to surrender, but in front of Li Zhen, Gao Renwu couldn't say a word, and stood there stupidly for a while, not knowing what to say.

"What? Do you find it difficult? Seeing that Gao Renwu didn't speak, Li Zhen frowned slightly, and snorted in displeasure, so shocked that Gao Renwu knelt on the ground again in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth moved for a long time, but he still couldn't say anything to explain.

"It's okay, Brother Gao is so embarrassed, Lone is even more reluctant to go, even so, Lone has another solution, it's just ......" Li Zhen stopped when he said this, smiled, and looked at Gao Renwu with interest......
