Chapter 616: Descending

Gao Yanshou was overjoyed when he heard this, he finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and before he could thank him excitedly, a voice sounded next to him.

"The ministers are also willing to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, and the ministers to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"

Gao Hui said respectfully, and Li Er smiled.

"Okay, as long as the two of you can persuade the city gate of Pyongyang to open, it will be a great achievement!"

"Thank you for the grace of the saint, and I am willing to saddle the horse for the saint, and serve the dogs and horses!"

Gao Yanshou said excitedly, and at the same time, he scolded Gao Huizhen in his heart for jumping out to share the credit.

"The minister must do his best!"

Gao Hui said respectfully, and at the same time scolded Gao Yanshou in his heart for taking the lead, Li Er looked around and raised his voice.

"Today's big break of the Goguryeo army has removed the biggest obstacle to the destruction of Goguryeo, however, you soldiers must not be complacent, but also guard against arrogance and rashness, and capture Pyongyang City in one fell swoop, tomorrow, Wei Chigong, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Yanjin, you each lead a cavalry to sweep the perimeter of Pyongyang City, to prevent the defeated troops of Goguryeo from gathering, the whole army will fight again, and the rest of the generals will besiege Pyongyang City with a certain army, if the defenders of Pyongyang City refuse to surrender, then capture Pyongyang City in one fell swoop!"

"Obey your orders!"

Everyone said in unison, the atmosphere of the whole army was very warm, although the battle was very tiring for a day, but the mood was very good, this battle was very hearty, the Goguryeo army lost its armor, and the most important thing is that everyone knows what it means to finish this battle, which means that Goguryeo no longer has the strength to fight, which means that the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner, which means that they will be able to triumph soon, this, how not to make people excited? However, in this series of military camps with an excited atmosphere, there are a few tents with a very solemn atmosphere.

"Isn't Yuangai Suwen quite powerful? This is too damn to fight, right? ”

"Who doesn't say, why are the dog thieves so fierce when they hit us Silla? How can fighting Tang Jun be like becoming a girl? ”

"Yuangai Suwen was actually angry to death by the Duke of Rongjun! Really, absolutely! ”

"Yes, I knew that Yuan Gai Suwen's strength was so narrow, we didn't use Datang to ask for help at the beginning, and directly scolded Yuan Gai Suwen on the battlefield, and the problem was solved!"

The guards were talking a lot, and they were a little depressed, and Jin Wenzhi sighed.

"It's too late to say anything now, Yuangai Suwen is dead, the Goguryeo army has been defeated again, and there is no longer the strength to fight, the general trend of Goguryeo has gone, no one has the power to return to the sky, Goguryeo, it is going to be destroyed, and we will be adjacent to Datang in the future!"

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

The guard sighed.

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, in short, we must be more respectful and more submissive to Datang in the future, the artillery is so powerful, the firearms are so powerful, Datang has so many elite troops, so many generals, and characters like Rongfu Jungong, we have no power to fight back at all!"

Jin Wenzhi sighed.

"Why did Datang attack us?"

Jin Shengman appeared in front of the big tent and asked suspiciously.

"Why did the Tang Dynasty attack Goguryeo? Because they want to occupy Goguryeo! ”

Jin Wenzhi asked rhetorically.

"Because Goguryeo and the Central Plains have been in constant dispute for hundreds of years, and at the beginning, it was Goguryeo who invaded the Central Plains first, so it is not surprising that Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but we are a subject country of the Tang Dynasty and are obedient to the Tang Dynasty, why did the Tang Emperor attack us?"

Kim asked.

"Of course, Datang is a state of etiquette, but when the teeth bite the tongue, there are still quarrels between husband and wife, and there are still discords in the neighborhood, let alone between the two countries? The minister is not unfounded. Even if the Son of Heaven is holy now, the Son of Heaven cannot be holy forever. ”

Jin Wenzhi said, Jin Shengman tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Of course, you are not unfounded, as you said, the Son of Heaven cannot be holy forever, but if the Son of Heaven is no longer holy, then do you think Goguryeo can be peaceful? What's more, we have no choice, if Datang hadn't sent troops, our Silla would have been destroyed by now! We should be grateful to Datang, shouldn't we? ”

Jin Wenzhi was speechless when he heard this, and he had to admit that the princess was right, if the Tang Dynasty had not sent troops, Silla would have been destroyed now, let alone in the future? The dawn is breaking in the east, the morning light is faint, and it is another good day, but the people of Pyongyang are trembling and panicking, because today the Tang army is likely to start attacking the city, and now there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, can they hold it? The imperial court is recruiting young men to help defend the city, but even well-trained and experienced elite soldiers can't defend the city. All the people stayed at home in fear, and there was not even a single figure on the originally lively long street, and in the palace, the big pair Lu and a group of courtiers began to discuss early.

"Thirty thousand young men have been mobilized temporarily, but they have not been trained, so they can only fight and do some preparatory work, hoping that they can adapt as soon as possible and learn how to defend the city......"

The eldest brother was talking, and suddenly a little official ran in panting.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"

The little official panted.

"Why are you so flustered? Could it be that the Tang army has already arrived under the city and is ready to attack the city? ”

Da asked Lu Yu.

"This has long been expected, there is no need to be so alarmed, I believe that General Li and they will definitely be able to defend the city!"

The eldest brother said in a deep voice, and the little official said with a sad face.

"My lord, that's not the case, General Li and they have already opened the city gate!"

Da asked Lu Yu.

"Opened the gates? Why? Could it be that the soldiers and horses from outside the city have returned? That's a good thing! ”

"No, General Li, they are holding a white flag, they want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"

The little official said with a sad face, there was silence, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, they were still here to discuss how to help the soldiers defend the city, but they didn't even defend it, and they directly opened the city gate and surrendered, which is really unjust! If you want to surrender, you should have said it earlier! Everyone went out of the city together to surrender, and you just opened the city gate, what's the matter? Many ministers thought so in their hearts, and Da Xiang Lu turned pale, shook his head and sighed.

"Really, really, the tide is over! Even they all went out of the city and surrendered, this is the death of Goguryeo! ”

"Big right? Now what? ”

The ministers asked in unison, and said in a deep voice to Lu.

"The old man is loyal and righteous all his life, he is a minister of Goguryeo in life, he is a ghost of Goguryeo in death, he will never be a minister of the Tang Dynasty, the old man is old and powerless to fight, but the old man still has a three-inch tongue, and even if he dies, he will scold the Tang Emperor for being a bloody dog!"

"Big pair Lu Zhongyi, what a role model for us! I'll go back and prepare for the future, and then I'll go with the big pair of Lu! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go back and prepare for the future! The army left the camp and slaughtered the city of Pyongyang, and the soldiers were full of morale and high spirits, vowing to take Pyongyang. ”

There is a scout Pegasus newspaper.

"Enlightened saint, the gates of Pyongyang are wide open, and soldiers and horses are leaving the city."

Li Er and the other generals were stunned when they heard this, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Goguryeo City, and they dared to go out of the city to fight? I didn't expect these Goguryeo soldiers who stayed behind to be quite bloody, and they even had the courage to go out of the city to fight, but this is also a good thing! It will be easy to defeat this remnant, and then you will be able to take Pyongyang City without blood.

"I didn't expect that the remaining tens of thousands of defenders are quite bloody, we must fight a fierce battle to fulfill their bloodiness!"

Cheng Biting Jin shouted.

"That's right, it's hard for the Goguryeo people to be a little bloody, we can't live up to it, we must fulfill them, let them all die on the battlefield with honor!"

Wei Chi Gong echoed, look, is this what people say? Gao Yanshou and Gao Hui were really embarrassed when they heard it, this is a group of butchers! Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu are not good to provoke, they have to provoke this group of butchers, because the two of them are going to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, so they were able to follow the emperor in their hearts, and they felt honored, Gao Yanshou hurriedly said.

"Saints rest assured, they also feel cornered, so they dare to offend Tianwei, and they are willing to persuade them to surrender, they will definitely abandon the darkness and surrender to the saints!"

Li Er said with a smile.

"If they can be sincere and obedient, then of course it is good, if not, they will not be reluctant!"

Since these defenders are out of the city, it doesn't matter if they return or not, and it is not difficult to kill, and at this moment, another scout Pegasus came.

"Enlightened sage, all the Goguryeo soldiers and horses who went out of the city have put up white flags!"

All white flags? Isn't that just a desire to surrender? Li Er and the other generals couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this, they thought that the defenders in the city were very bloody and wanted to go out of the city to fight, but they didn't expect that they were going to go out of the city and surrender, how could there be any blood! It's all cowardice at all, and yes, if these defenders in the city are bloody, how can Yuangai Suwen leave them to defend the city? I'm sure I'll take them out of the city to fight! The most confused are Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, and the two of them have also made up their minds to persuade the defenders and ministers in the city to surrender, which is a rare achievement! Unexpectedly, before the two of them came forward to persuade them, the defenders in the city couldn't wait to open the city gate with a white flag and surrender, and the two of them couldn't help but scold in their hearts, you can't be a little more reserved? You're so unreserved, we still have the credit for fart? We surrendered after a battle, and you surrendered without even fighting, do you still have a little conscience? Do you still have a little bit of humanity? Li Yong said with a smile.

"These Goguryeo generals are very knowledgeable about current affairs!"

Gao Yanshou hurriedly flattered.

"The saint is mighty, no one dares to disobey!"

Li Er couldn't help laughing loudly, the conquest of Goguryeo was the biggest dream over the years, and now the defenders of Pyongyang City surrendered out of the city, and the city gate was wide open, which indicated that his dream for so many years was finally coming true, at this moment, Li Er's heart felt so refreshing, it had not been so cool for many years, Li Er said loudly with a red face.

"Speed up the march, and the generals will not let their guard down, lest they be defeated!"

Although his heart was full of refreshment, Li Er was not blinded by the joy of victory, and he was still vigilant in his heart, the army approached Pyongyang City in a mighty way, and the city gate of Pyongyang City was really open, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of the city gate, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses did not open the battle formation, and they also held a white flag, the mighty army slowly stopped, and Gao Yanshou hurriedly said.

"Sage, do you want to go and check it out?"

Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is inevitable that Goguryeo will be annexed by the Tang Dynasty, of course he wants to behave well, Li Er was just about to agree, and suddenly found that dozens of Goguryeo troops in front of him left the military formation and marched towards this side, the speed was not fast or slow, and there was a white flag waving, Gao Yanshou scolded in his heart, fuck, I really don't give a chance at all! All the horses that came were all the generals in the army, and before they got to the army, they got off the war horses first, and then led the war horses, Li Er came out of the crowd, followed by a group of generals, no one needed to introduce, those generals who came to surrender also knew who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, after all, who dared to steal the emperor's limelight at this time and stand at the forefront? They all fell to one knee, and the first few shouted.

"The criminal minister Gao Yuansheng, the criminal minister Li Chengrui, the criminal minister Cui Guangwei, and the criminal minister Li Yan, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we are willing to return to the Tang Dynasty, forever Mu Huang's grace, and hope that His Majesty the Emperor will forgive!"

Li Erlang laughed.

"Okay, good, you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, submit to a certain heart, a certain heart is very comforting, and you can capture the city of Pyongyang without blood, you have the merit of dedicating the city, and you will be rewarded in the future! Let's all be flat, no need to be polite! ”

Li Chengrui and the others were very excited when they heard this, although they knew that they came out to surrender, the Tang Emperor would definitely not kill them, but would treat them with courtesy, but after all, it was just a previous guess, and now they were completely relieved, they hurriedly got up and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, all the ministers' subordinates have withdrawn from the royal capital, and all the city gates have been opened to welcome Your Majesty into the city.

Directly withdrew all the soldiers and horses out of Pyongyang City, Li Chengrui and they were very knowledgeable. Li Er nodded with great satisfaction.

"The soldiers and horses under your command will set up camp twenty miles to the northwest, and as for the few of you, let's enter the city with Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen!"

"Obey your orders!"

Li Chengrui and others said respectfully.

"Congratulations, generals! Finally woke up and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and in the future, I will all be Tang Chen! ”

Gao Yanshou said with a smile, quite a sense of taking the lead, in fact, he was a little jealous in his heart, because he had just lost the battle when he surrendered, and he had neither the merit of dedicating the city nor the soldiers and horses under his command, so he couldn't talk about any merit, but these generals had the merit of dedicating the city, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, which were all based on it! How can you not make him jealous? What makes him even more uncomfortable is that these generals are just local generals, if they weren't in his eyes at all before, because they are too far away from his official position, now, feng shui takes turns! However, Li Chengrui and others did not dare to despise Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, firstly, the two of them were still there, and secondly, the two of them surrendered to Datang at the earliest.
