After ordering people to rush to deliver the decree for 800 miles, Gao Jianwu ordered all the important ministers in the court to be summoned, and the atmosphere in the palace was very solemn, not only the king but also a group of ministers were in a heavy mood, and even the mood of the palace maids in the palace was very heavy, because, if the army of the Tang Dynasty captured the capital and captured the palace, then they would have no good end for the palace maids and chamberlains! The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, and the ministers discussed solemnly, Gao Jianwu rubbed his frowning brows and said with a headache.

"Everyone has been discussing for so long, and the most important thing now is three things, first, let Yuangai Suwen lead the army back to the division as soon as possible, Gu has already sent someone to expedite the decree for eight hundred miles! Second, tell the cities about the artillery of the Tang Army, order the cities to be strictly defended, and now draft an edict and immediately transmit it to the cities! Third, send envoys to meet the Tang Emperor in the Tang military camp, apologize to the Tang Emperor, and promise to withdraw from Silla, who is willing to send an envoy? ”

Since ancient times, the two armies have fought without slashing, and the Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, so there is no danger, so as soon as Gao Jianwu's voice fell, a minister immediately came out.

"The minister is willing to go to the Tang army camp, and he must persuade the Tang Emperor to retreat!"

"I am willing to go to the Tang Army camp!"

……

The news soon spread in the city, and the people who heard it were all stunned, although they knew that the Tang Emperor was riding the Eastern Expedition, but they had great expectations for Liaodong, because the Tang Emperor only brought more than 100,000 troops, and they also looked forward to blocking the Tang army from Liaodong! Of course, they also thought that Liaodong might fall, but they didn't think that Liaodong would fall so quickly, this happened too suddenly, Liaodong fell, which means that the Tang army may drive straight into the hinterland directly, and what makes them even more panicked is why Liaodong fell so quickly? You must know that at the beginning, Liaodong did not fall so quickly when the Sui million-strong army went east, and now the Tang army only has more than 100,000 troops, why did Liaodong fall so quickly? Was it the negligence of the Liaodong defenders? Or is the combat power of the Tang Army terrifyingly strong? What is the truth? The truth is because the Tang Army has a sharp weapon for attacking the city, artillery! The people in Pyongyang are confused, what is artillery? How could Liaodong be captured so quickly? The Goguryeo king and the ministers of the court had heard of artillery, but who paid attention to it among the common people? They had never heard of artillery at all, they didn't know what artillery was, although they didn't know what artillery was, but they soon knew that the artillery was originally made by Li Yong, and when they heard the name Li Yong, the people of the entire Pyongyang City were very complicated, because the name Li Yong was famous in Pyongyang City, and everyone knew it, because Li Yong was a legend, and the story about Li Yong was more legendary than the legendary story. Let Li Yong know everyone in Pyongyang City, and then the Su tea, first-line heavenly wine, glass utensils, etc. brought by the Li family firm amazed the entire Pyongyang City, which also increased Li Yong's popularity, and the people of the entire Pyongyang City knew that Yuangai Suwen and Li Yong were friends, and there was a feeling of honor, and when Yuangai Suwen led the troops to the expedition, this feeling of honor reached its peak, because of Li Yong's help, they had the opportunity to go to Silla, however, who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty sent troops, Who would have thought that it was the artillery made by Li Yong that captured Liaodong, and the feeling in the hearts of the people of Pyongyang City at this time can be imagined, it is simply the feeling of beeping a dog. In the palace, the ministers have dispersed, but Gao Yanshou still remains in the main hall.

"Gao Aiqing, do you have anything else?"

Gao Jianwu asked in a deep voice, although the courtiers proposed three solutions to the dilemma, but he was still worried, Gao Yanshou hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say in his heart!"

Gao Jianwu frowned and asked.

"In this time of crisis, it is time to work together, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it!"

Gao Yanshou said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a little worried about Yuan Gai Suwen!"

Gao Jianwu said with a frown.

"Worried about Yuangai Suwen? What to worry about him? ”

Gao Yanshou said in a deep voice.

"At the beginning, Yuan Gai Suwen said that the Tang Dynasty would not send troops, and said that Li Yong would help Xiang Xiang, but what was the result? Li Yong didn't say anything, not only did he not say anything, but he also strongly supported sending troops, why? It must be because of the artillery! Yuangai Suwen has been to Datang and is Li Yong's friend, does he know the power of artillery? Does he know that Datang will send troops? Is Yuangai Suwen the courtier of the Tang Emperor or the courtier of the king? The minister is now a little suspicious, this Yuan Gai Suwen is trying his best to agitate for the conquest of Silla, could this be a conspiracy? ”

Gao Jianwu listened to the frowning and slowly pacing, and asked in a deep voice.

"Are you suspicious of Yuangai Suwen's loyalty?"

Gao Yanshou hugging fist do.

"Your Majesty, the minister is by no means a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, but the minister really has a lot of doubts in his heart, when Yuangai Suwen was on the envoy, Li Yong was already a famous genius in the world, and he was a favorite minister in front of the Tang Emperor, and he was in a high position in the Tang Dynasty, what kind of status was that? And what about Yuangai Suwen? At that time, he was just an unknown little deputy envoy, why did he suddenly become close friends with Li Yong? When he and Li Yong were talking about wine, what did they say, who knows? Then, Yuan Gai Suwen took advantage of this to spread the clouds, took Li Yong's letter to agitate and send troops, and led the army to go out, and then the Tang army took the opportunity to invade, Wang, although this is just a minister's speculation, but it must be guarded against! ”

Gao Jianwu listened, his pace became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely, in fact, he didn't have any doubts in his heart, was all this a coincidence, or was it a conspiracy from beginning to end? If it was a conspiracy, was Yuan Gai Suwen involved in it, or was he being used? Seeing that the king stopped and pondered, Gao Yanshou continued.

"Your Majesty, the army that went out is the most elite soldier and horse of our Goguryeo, and it is also the greatest hope of our Goguryeo. Your Majesty, you must be on guard! ”

In this conquest of Silla, Yuangai Suwen also thoroughly proved his ability to lead the troops, if you want to say who is most suitable to lead the troops to resist the Tang army, there is no doubt that it is Yuangai Suwen, Gao Jianwu recognizes Yuangai Suwen's ability to lead the troops, but Gao Yanshou's words have to make him think deeply, if Yuangai Suwen has different intentions, what should I do? The 200,000 troops who conquered Silla can be said to be the only hope for Goguryeo, if Yuangai Suwen really secretly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, then he could bury this army with a single move, if there is no such army, what else can he rely on to repel the Tang army? Does Yuangai Suwen have a different heart? Not necessarily, not sure, but dare to take that risk? Once you look at the wrong person, it will be the end of the country's ruin! Gao Jianwu frowned and said in a deep voice.

"These orphans you said will be considered, since you are injured, go back to recuperate and introspect!"

After Gao Yanshou kowtowed after hearing this, he retreated respectfully, he knew that today's pass was only a temporary pass, and some courtiers impeached him in court today, thinking that he had lost Liaodong, and not punishing him was not enough to make the people angry. Although the king did not decree to punish him, it does not mean that he will not settle accounts after the autumn, if Yuangai Suwen returns to the division with the 200,000 army and repels the Tang army, then he will definitely be settled by the autumn queen, and at that time, even if he is not convicted, I am afraid there is no hope of recovery, the eldest husband is alive, he cannot be without power for a day, and he cannot be without wine and beauty for a day, so if he wants to completely get rid of the guilt and regain power, he must make a contribution in this war, and if he wants to make a contribution, he must lead the troops, if he does not even have the opportunity to lead the troops, And how can we talk about making contributions? Therefore, he targeted Yuangai Suwen, not only because he was jealous of Yuangai Suwen, but also because he coveted Yuangai Suwen's military power, of course, Yuangai Suwen was indeed a little suspicious, although the king did not directly say anything just now, but he understood that what he just said had made the king suspicious of Yuangai Suwen, and he deeply understood how important Yuangai Suwen's army was to Goguryeo, so important that there could be no change. Although every day after the truce, both sides will take away the corpses, but the strong smell of blood still lingers, under the head of the city of Jincheng, even the bricks and stones and mud are soaked in black and red blood, the army outside the city slowly spread out the siege of the city, the soldiers on the city wall quietly looked at this scene, there was no panic in their eyes, only numbness and longing, now it is the twelfth day of defending the city, these twelve days have seen too many deaths, I don't know how many comrades have fallen, I don't know how many Goguryeo people have fallen under the city, however, The war is still going on, depressed, tired, everyone is haggard, their eyes are full of bloodshots, as if they will fall at any time, as if they will never see tomorrow's sun, if they can't see tomorrow's sun, it doesn't matter, at least they don't have to kill or be killed, the morning sun was originally full of life, but now in their eyes it is full of blood, because the sun rises means that the killing or being killed has begun again.

"The Queen is here!"

"The Queen is here!"

Holding the cold weapon numbly looking at the soldiers outside the city, the eyes were finally full of emotion, these ten days, the siege of Goguryeo can not be described as fierce, there are several Goguryeo people attacked the city, the city was almost lost, however, even when it was so dangerous, the queen was still standing on the head of the city, maybe the queen could not lift a sword to kill the enemy with them, but as long as the queen stood with them on the head of the city, they had great courage in their hearts, the queen took the maids and the women in the city to carry the porridge and labor army.

"Hold on, hold on for a few more days, Goguryeo will definitely retreat, maybe tomorrow Goguryeo will retreat, you must hold on!"

The queen is also very haggard, but walking on the head of the city but constantly encouraging the soldiers, looking at the army outside the city, she doesn't know how long she can hold out, and she doesn't know how long the soldiers can hold on, and she doesn't know how long the city can be defended, now, the only belief that can make her persist is that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops, since the Goguryeo army besieged Jincheng, she has never received news outside the city, and now the Tang army should have arrived in Liaodong, right? I don't know, what is the war in Liaodong now? I hope that the Tang army can win the battle quickly, forcing the Goguryeo army to return to the division, outside Jincheng, in front of the Goguryeo army, Yuangai Suwen sat on the war horse, the cloak fluttered in the wind, but his face was very calm, a little less than the original spirit, he didn't expect that it was almost half a month, and he hadn't captured Jincheng yet, obviously he was only one foot at the door, but he couldn't get in, he was really anxious, and he didn't know how the war in Liaodong was, the Tang army had entered the territory of Liaodong, but, It should be so easy for the Tang army to capture Jian'an City, and he has not received any news from the capital in the past few days, which shows that the Tang army is still blocked under Jian'an City, if the Tang army has captured Jian'an City, it is impossible that there is no news coming, but even so, he must capture Jincheng as soon as possible.

"The defenders of Jincheng are already at the end of the crossbow, we must capture Jincheng today, pass on the general order of the commander, and the army will attack the city!"

"The commander has an order, start attacking the city!"

"The commander has an order, start attacking the city!"

The trumpets sounded, the rumbling war drums were boosting morale, although the spring was bright, but the heaven and earth were full of slaughter, the sound of arrows, shouts, and screams...... Yuangai Suwen sat on the horse with a solemn expression and shouted.

"Pass on the commander's order, the soldiers who are besieging the city have advanced and not retreated, and those who retreat without Ming Jin will be immediately killed!"

"Report, big handsome, there is an envoy from the king!"

Yuangai Suwen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, there was an envoy from the king, it seems that Jian'an City is very likely to be captured, and it has only been a few days? The combat power of the Tang Army is really not weak! The king sent an envoy to urge him to capture Jincheng and Silla as soon as possible!

"The commander still has to command the battle, and if he can't greet him in person, please ask the king's envoy to come to the front of the battle!"

Yuangai Suwen said while making up his mind in his heart, he must capture Jincheng today, let the king's envoy watch the army capture Jincheng with his own eyes, and save him from sending someone back to report the victory, just when Yuangai Suwen was thinking like this, dozens of horsemen and horses followed his own soldiers, to Yuangai Suwen was a little surprised, the person who came turned out to be a guard commander of the palace, what Yuangai Suwen didn't know was that Gao Jianwu was in a hurry to let him return to the division, and there was no time to arrange the envoy according to the regulations, Directly let the palace guards deliver the decree.

"It turned out that Commander Hong came to deliver the decree, Commander Hong worked hard all the way, and the commander commanded in battle, but he couldn't meet it from afar!"

Yuangai Suwen bowed his hand and said politely, but the commander of the guards who was ordered to pass on the order didn't have time to be polite to Yuangai Suwen, so he couldn't wait.

"The king has an order, and Yuangai Suwen will immediately withdraw his troops back to the division when he sees the order, and there will be no delay for a moment!"
