A group of ministers walked into the hall with red faces, as if they were about to participate in this great achievement, but when they entered the hall, the ministers couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, as if the atmosphere was not quite right, there was no joyful atmosphere at all, after peeking at the king, they were even more awe-inspiring, why was the king's face so solemn, as if something big had happened, the question was what big things could happen? Didn't you say that there was good news? If it is good news, why does the king look so heavy?

"Meet the King!"

Gao Jianwu raised his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Lone summoned you because something great had happened!"

Big Brother asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that there was an urgent military situation, but the good news came from the front?"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"It's not good news, but news from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Silla sent an envoy to Chang'an for help, and the Tang Dynasty has decided to send troops to the east, and it is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is personally marching!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was very quiet, and the falling needles could be heard, and then, there was a buzz.

"How is that possible? How could Datang send troops? ”

"Didn't the Duke of Rongfu County guarantee that Datang would not send troops to interfere?"

"That's it, there is a letter to testify, but the Duke of Rongfu County swore that Datang would not send troops, why did Datang send troops again?"

"Could it be that the Duke of Rongfu failed to stop Datang from sending troops?"

Gao Jianwu said in a solemn voice.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did indeed drive the expedition in person, this is the exact news, and besides, the Duke of Rongfu not only did not help us Goguryeo to prevent the Tang Dynasty from sending troops, but instead helped Silla and urged the Tang Dynasty to send troops!"

The ministers couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, if the Duke of Rongfu tried to prevent the Tang Dynasty from sending troops, and in the end it didn't succeed, and the Duke of Rongfu actually helped Silla? What's going on? Could it be that Yuangai Suwen and Rongfu Jungong are close friends, is it fake? Or are the letters of the Yuangai Suwen fake? The eldest brother came out of the ranks and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, those letters must be fake, and it must be that Yuangai Suwen deceived the king with fake letters!"

This time, Yuangai Suwen sent troops to win a complete victory, and the government and the opposition praised that once he returned to the court, he would inevitably be powerful, which naturally attracted the jealousy of some people, and the big brother said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, there must be something strange in this, how could Yuangai Suwen deceive the king with such a big thing?"

The eldest brother said in a deep voice.

"No, no, Yuangai Suwen is so happy, in order to persuade the king to agree to send troops to attack Silla, so he deceived the king with a fake letter, he is betting on whether the Tang Dynasty will send troops, and now that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops, Yuangai Suwen has put our Goguryeo in danger!"

For a while, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but discuss, whether it was Yuan Gai Suwen who deceived the king with a fake letter, but the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and the argument was unclear for a while, and Mo Lizhi said in a deep voice.

"Okay, don't argue, the top priority now is to deal with the Tang Dynasty's crusade!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the Tang Emperor drove the expedition in person, which was a big stone pressed on everyone's hearts, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Mo Lizhi is right, the most important thing now is how to deal with the Tang Emperor's imperial expedition, this is the most important thing, what do you think?"

The eldest brother came out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how many troops the Tang Emperor has personally dispatched?"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally commanded an army of 150,000, and he may have sent troops now!"

Only 150,000 soldiers? At the beginning, the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui Dynasty were conscripted millions of soldiers each time! In the end, they were defeated by their Goguryeo, and this time the Tang Emperor only sent 150,000 troops, which is too contemptuous of their Goguryeo, right? The eldest brother couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Why should the king worry, the three eastern crusades of the former Sui, all of them were defeated and returned with millions of soldiers, and the Tang Emperor only sent 150,000 troops this time, they are inevitably too arrogant, there are clouds in the military books, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, so the king does not have to worry!"

Big brother said in a deep voice,

"The three eastern crusades of the former Sui Dynasty all raised millions of soldiers, although the momentum is huge, but the hearts of the people are scattered, but the Tang Dynasty is different, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the government is harmonious, and the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is very talented, but the current Tang Emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he uses soldiers like a god, and he must not be ignored!"

The eldest brother laughed.

"Oh? In this way, can Li Shimin alone top an army of millions? ”

The ministers couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, although the Tang Emperor led the army to dominate the world, and he was indeed a masterpiece of the previous generation, but it would be too exaggerated to say that it could be compared to a million troops, even if the Tang Emperor was really good at using soldiers? It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is too whimsical for a mere 150,000 troops to attack them Goguryeo, in Liaodong, they Goguryeo will have tens of thousands of soldiers, and Yuangai Suwen will lead 200,000 troops to attack Silla, and the military book has clouds, and five of the ten sieges will be divided into multiple attacks, and the Tang Dynasty only has a mere 150,000 troops, how to break through their defenses in Liaodong? Hearing the discussion of the ministers, Gao Jianwu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked.

"What do you think?"

Mo Lizhi groaned.

"What everyone said makes sense, although the Tang Dynasty's national strength is far superior to that of the former Sui, and the current Tang Emperor is also very wise, but the Tang Emperor only sent 150,000 troops, which is indeed too underestimated for our Goguryeo, the lessons of the former Sui, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers should not not understand, but only sent 150,000 troops, in the opinion of the old ministers, the Tang Dynasty did not really want to attack our Goguryeo, but just wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao!"

Gao Jianwu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Oh? Wai Wei to save Zhao? ”

Mo Lizhi nodded.

"Yes, besiege Wei to save Zhao, Wang, the old minister thinks that the reason why the Tang Dynasty sent troops is only to understand the danger of Silla, and he doesn't want to really attack our Goguryeo!"

The ministers couldn't help but nod when they heard this, and felt that what Mo Lizhi said was very reasonable, if Datang really wanted to take the opportunity to attack their Goguryeo, it would definitely be more than just sending 150,000 troops, Gao Jianwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard it, if Datang didn't want to attack on a large scale, then a big stone in his heart would have landed, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"The Tang Dynasty only sent 150,000 troops, so there is really no need to worry too much, as long as the army of Yuangai Suwen is transferred back and returned to Liaodong, the Tang army will definitely be defeated!"

Mo Lizhi hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to transfer Yuan Gai Suwen's army back to help!"

Gao Jianwu listened and said suspiciously.

"What? Don't reconcile the reinforcements of Gai Suwen's army? ”

Mo Lizhi said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty only has 150,000 troops, and our dynasty has 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong, and they are enough to block the Tang army. The Tang army sent troops to save Silla, and if Silla perished, then the Tang army would naturally retreat! ”

As soon as Mo Lizhi's voice fell, there was a lot of discussion in the entire hall.

"Yes, Lord Mo Lizhi is right! Now that Silla is about to be unable to support it, it may destroy the country at any time, and it would be a pity to withdraw at this time! ”

"Yes, it's a pity to retreat! There are still 100,000 elite soldiers in Liaodong to defend it, so it is not so easy for the Tang army to attack it, since the Tang army is just to relieve the siege of Silla, if Silla is destroyed, then who else will the Tang army break the siege for? Naturally, it retreated! ”

"Not necessarily, the Tang Emperor saw that the imperial expedition still failed to save Silla, maybe he would be angry and recruit more soldiers and horses to the east, so what should I do?"

"What else can I do? If he wants to go east, he will go east, and we Goguryeo can still be afraid of them? As long as Silla is annexed, our Goguryeo will be able to increase its strength greatly! ”

"What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If this opportunity is missed, we Goguryeo will probably never be able to annex Silla! ”

Listening to the discussions of the people, Gao Jianwu also had thoughts in his heart, this is indeed the best opportunity to annex Silla, if he misses it, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again, and the Tang Dynasty only sent 150,000 troops, since the first king can even resist the million army of the former Sui, can he not even resist the 150,000 enemy army? As long as he resists the Tang army, Na Yuan Gai Suwen will definitely be able to destroy Silla, which is a great achievement that will be recorded in history forever, and he will definitely become a generation of heroes, thinking of this, Gao Jianwu raised his voice.

"Zhong Aiqing is right, the destruction of Silla is imminent, and the previous achievements must not be abandoned, once Silla is annexed, it will be immortal, all the ministers are meritorious ministers, pass on the will of Gu, the cities of Liaodong must be defended, and also, pass the decree to Yuangai Suwen, the Tang Emperor will drive the eastward expedition, let him quickly attack and destroy Silla, and lead the army to help!"

"The king is wise!"

The news of the Tang Army's Eastern Expedition spread throughout the city of Pyongyang like a gust of wind, and the people heard the news of the Tang Emperor's imperial expedition all changed their faces, although Pyongyang is far away from Liaodong, although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui were repulsed, but the damage caused left a deep impression on all the Goguryeo people, even if it has been decades, so when they heard the Tang Emperor's personal expedition, the people of the entire Pyongyang City were shocked, and everyone was excited because of the army's successive victories in the city a few days ago, But now when I hear that the Tang Emperor is driving in person, it is as if I have been splashed with a basin of cold water, because it means that the hard-won peaceful days of decades are finally coming to an end!

"What a pity! General Yuan is attacking Silla with a large army, otherwise, how dare Datang send troops? ”

"At the beginning, didn't Yuangai Suwen say that with the help of the Rongfu County Prince, Datang would not send troops?"

"Yes, yes, because of this, the king asked Yuangai Suwen to send troops to attack Silla, why did the Tang Dynasty send troops?"

"What can I do about this?"

"Afraid of what? I heard that Datang is just 150,000 soldiers and horses, what's so scary? ”

"It's, what's there to be afraid of? Yuangai Suwen has an army of 150,000! These are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, as long as Yuangai Suwen leads the army back to help, he will definitely be able to resist it! ”

"The king didn't let Yuangai Suwen come back to help, because New Rome was about to be destroyed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can he withdraw the army? Anyway, there are still 100,000 troops in Liaodong to defend it! It's not so easy for him Datang to get in! ”

"It turns out that Datang only sent 150,000 troops? I thought that I was raising millions of troops like the former Sui, but it turned out to be only 150,000 troops, so why be afraid? ”

"However, if the Tang Dynasty can't attack for a long time, will it continue to recruit soldiers! The former Sui could raise millions of troops, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be able to raise millions of troops? ”

"What if the Tang Dynasty raises millions of soldiers? Hasn't the former Sui Xingbing's million soldiers been repulsed? ”

The whole Goguryeo is talking about it, some people think that the Tang Dynasty only raised 150,000 troops is not to be afraid, but some people feel that once the war starts, it will not stop, so they are very nervous.

"In front of us is the capital of Silla, Jinseong, as long as Jinseong is breached, Silla will exist in name only, and it will only take ten days and a half months to completely occupy Silla!"

Yuangai Suwen said proudly, the generals behind Yuangai Suwen couldn't help but nod when they heard it, looking at the Jincheng in the distance full of fire, how many generations of kings of Goguryeo have dreamed of unifying the Three Kingdoms, and now they are finally going to annex Silla, this is a glorious achievement through the ages!

"Silla is just a lingering breath, just a golden city, can be broken overnight, once the golden city is broken, the Silla queen is captured, the morale of Silla will collapse, and other cities will inevitably fall to the wind, our Goguryeo annexed Silla, the general has contributed a lot!"

Yuangai Suwen smiled proudly.

"It's just Silla, in my opinion, it's nothing at all, when Silla is annexed, then fight Baekje, unify the three kingdoms, and the strength will increase greatly, just need to recuperate for a few years, heh, we Goguryeo can compete in the Tang Dynasty!"

The generals behind him listened with enthusiasm and hugged their fists.

"What the general said is that the last general will follow the general to conquer the world and make immortal achievements!"

Yuangai Suwen nodded with satisfaction, this journey of the battle is like a bamboo, he has already subdued these generals, as he thought before, going out is a good opportunity to establish prestige and gain status, and when he returns to the court after victory, not to mention the prestige, not to mention the king's reward, only with the foundation of tens of thousands of troops, who dares to treat him lightly?

"Report! General Kaiyu, this is a reply from Queen Silla! ”

Yuangai Suwen took the letter and unfolded it, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"He still refuses to surrender! It's really a toast without eating and drinking! ”

The general next to him smiled.

"I heard that Silla sent an envoy to Datang for help, and I still have illusions about this Silla queen, and I still expect Datang to send troops to rescue her! But how could she have thought that the general and the prince of Yeongfu were friends, and they had already cut off Silla's way of life! ”

"That's, that's it, how could Datang send troops to the rescue? When the city is broken, the last general wants to see what this Silla queen looks like, I heard that this Silla queen is very beautiful! ”

Yuangai Suwen laughed when he heard this.

"Queen Silla is in her forties, and I don't know how much charm can be retained, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with beauty, but I heard that Princess Silla is the first beauty of Silla!"

"Then the general will definitely capture the princess of Silla and hand it over to the general to deal with!"

The general next to him smiled, and Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, at this time, there was a cavalry galloping behind him, and there was a command flag behind him.

"General, it seems that the king's will has arrived!"

"General, the king knows that we are going to break through the golden city, this must be the king's will!"
