In any case, he was also the king of Goguryeo, and a group of Goguryeo villagers present were very surprised by Li Yifu's behavior.

explained that it was an expedient measure to hide his identity and avoid the interrogation of Yuan Gai Suwen.

Zhang Da'an felt that this excuse could fool the past and didn't care, but he still said: "Brother Yifu, when you came, you called the king of Goguryeo as a person, but now that the person has arrived, there is no need for this." ”

Hearing this, several spies sent by the Ministry of Rites also nodded, no matter how you say it, it is the orthodox king of Goguryeo, how can you crusade against Yuangai Suwen without such a king, it is nominally necessary, and it must be treated kindly.

At least for everyone, this Goguryeo king still has the value of existence.

Li Yifu just sighed when he was full, and took out a small seal from his arms, "This is the royal seal of Goguryeo." ”

Zhang Da'an picked up this royal seal and looked at it, this square little jade, there are several official books engraved under the jade, which shows that this royal seal has been left since the Han Dynasty, "When Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was crowned the king of Goguryeo for the first time, he had a title at that time." ”

It's just that Goguryeo at that time was one of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and now it is a different look.

Seeing that the dirty hands of the king of Goguryeo kept stuffing food into his mouth, and he didn't care about his image, it was indeed not easy to escape from the royal capital in the past two days, and he was already tired and tired.

After eating, Yi Yifu took the king of Goguryeo to face the villagers here.

The villagers of Goguryeo looked at this Goguryeo king one by one with suspicion.

Seeing that he was squirming and not speaking, Li Yifu glared, and only then did he open his mouth and say that he was imprisoned in Yuangai Suwen in Wangdu, and now he arranged a plot to kill the ministers of the court.

After speaking, the king of Goguryeo said another word to Li Yifu.

Does that mean it?

The king of Goguryeo now has to ask for the opinion of Yi Yifu about everything he does.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Da'an became more and more relieved.

However, the villagers did not react much after learning what happened to the King of Goguryeo, they were puzzled at first, and there was not much respect in their eyes, and then they continued to do their own thing.

However, after the King of Goguryeo said this, the villagers had more respect for the Tang Army.

Li Yifu went to take the king of Goguryeo to wash it first, at least let him look like a king, now this clothes are ragged, his body is covered with mud, and even after his hair should be muddy and knotted, his hair is also knotted.

After Goguryeo was washed, he ate and fell asleep again.

Seeing that the rain was about to stop, the clouds in the sky were so thick that the sun could be seen shining down through the dark clouds.

Zhang Da'an began to prepare the next plan, but the current plan is also very simple, it is nothing more than to take the royal capital of Goguryeo.

There was no fortified city to defend within the boundaries of Goguryeo, and there was only one royal city of Goguryeo.

Li Yifu took out a lot of drawings from his baggage, and took off his boots and took out one or two drawings, "This is the city defense map of Goguryeo, although Yuangai Suwen said that he was in military power, but this person was not awake when he did not do anything, and he was easy to deal with." ”

Zhang Da'an's expression was solemn, "Since the king of Goguryeo has been rescued, the news that we have crossed the river must not be hidden, most of them already know, we are only a day's walk away from the royal city, what is the situation in the city now?" ”

The person who knows the situation in the city best now, is only Li Yifu, he told the situation in the city now, Yuangai Suwen prepared 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city, saying that 60,000 can actually fight only about 20,000, and these 20,000 people sent 5,000 people to defend the river embankment.

Yuangai Suwen had three generals in his hands, and one of them was sent to guard the river embankment and defend Liaodong.

And there are two generals in the city, one of them is a capable general, and the other is nothing more than a friend of Yuangai Suwen's wine and meat.

Li Yifu said again: "Please also ask Brother Da'an to show me." ”

Zhang Da'an pondered for a while, "Do you still remember the allusions between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo back then?" ”

Although both of them are in Goguryeo, they are both literati.

Li Yifu can't say how good he is, but he is also a Jinshi and a first-class person, and his knowledge is still sufficient.

The so-called allusion between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo is said to be the war between Qin and Zhao during the Warring States Period.

Back then, Lian Po was a veteran of many battles, and Zhao Kuo was a person who talked on paper.

The Qin people sent people to spread rumors, and Qin Zhi was afraid of Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao, the son of Ma Fujun.

In this way, in the end, Zhao sent Zhao Kuo, who was on paper, as a general, which led to the defeat of 400,000 troops in the First Battle of Changping.

Yuangai Suwen is not the king of Zhao, and he can't deal with him in the same way as he dealt with the king of Zhao.

If you want to take the royal city, you must first let the royal city be in turmoil, and Da'an feels that he needs to add some more materials, such as preparing some belongings and burying them in the courtyard of one of the generals' houses.

Yuangai Suwen is a ruthless and conceited person, and once this kind of person is annoyed, he will lose his proportion.

Zhang Da'an got up and said, "We can't stay here for a long time, let's arrange some suspicious soldiers here." ”

Li Yifu agreed: "What Yuangai Suwen wants most at this time is the king of Goguryeo, and he will definitely send people to attack here and disperse his forces." ”

After instructing the things in front of them, everyone cleaned up and left, and arranged an ambush before leaving.

As expected, the next day, Yuangai Suwen sent people to the riverbank and sent people to burn the village.

This scene also angered the villagers who left together, but it didn't matter, this kind of behavior did not do any good except to attract more public anger to Yuangai Suwen.

When the soldiers and horses that were about to set fire were about to leave, Wen Ting's ambush soldiers wiped out this group of 2,000 soldiers and horses.

In this way, the soldiers and horses of Gai Suwen burned the village, which attracted the anger of the people, and also lost another 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Wen Ting led people to clean up the arrows, the arrows of the Goguryeo people were very poor, and the arrows of the Tang army should be used sparingly, and the arrows shot should be pulled out again.

He looked at the leather armor worn by the Goguryeo people, which could not protect against horizontal swords or arrows.

After this battle, with Li Yifu's narration, everyone had a general understanding of Goguryeo's troops.

The people returned to the village, and the flames had burned through the grass huts.

Zhang Da'an ordered some of the villagers to be sent to the other side, and from then on they settled in Liaodong, leaving three or two guides, and everyone continued to march to the capital of the king of Goguryeo.

There are quite a few spies arranged by the Ministry of Rites in Goguryeo, and these spies can continue to blend in with the crowd and infiltrate the royal city to arrange the next discordant scheme.

Wen Ting felt that he could also lead people to blend in with the pedestrians and sneak into the city to assassinate Yuan Gai Suwen.

Zhang Da'an quickly repudiated Wen Ting's risky move and explained: "Yuangai Suwen is in a hurry to find the king of Goguryeo now, and we can wait for work without taking this risk." ”

Wen Ting calmed down again.

At the same time, Yi Yifu was also busy preparing for this Goguryeo king, and he made the Goguryeo king return to his original appearance in the royal city, walking around the countryside in solemn clothes, and calling on the villagers to rebel against Heyeongai Suwen.

It's just that every time the king of Goguryeo walks through a village, the next day there will be a soldier and horse of Yuangai Suwen coming to him.

And every time these soldiers and horses pounced, they would be raided by Wen Ting's ambush soldiers, sometimes these Goguryeo soldiers and horses retreated in embarrassment, and sometimes the whole army was annihilated.

Yuangai Suwen estimated that his eyes were red, and when he learned where the king of Goguryeo appeared, he sent people to arrest him, but the soldiers and horses sent out to capture him often returned in embarrassment.

This act of adding fuel to the fire made Li Yifu unpleasant, and even wanted to make Yuan Gai Suwen angry to death.

Zhang Daan smiled: "It's probably impossible to die of anger, he is only over thirty years old." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yifu said entangledly: "This time he was brought to attack, and now he has lost more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Gai Suwen is really a fool." ”

Wen Ting also thinks that Yuangai Suwen is indeed a fool.

"In fact, he should recruit troops now, win people's hearts, and consolidate his power, instead of constantly dividing troops to find us at the moment."

For half a month, Yuangai Suwen still found nothing.

In Wangcheng, it is still unknown where the Tang army that crossed the river is.

Yuangai Suwen angrily smashed the things in front of him, he felt that all around him were rubbish.

A group of people knelt in the main hall of the royal capital, and they were silent.

Everyone in the current royal city is tense with a nerve, and this nerve is about to collapse at this moment.

Just when he was in a rage, Yuangai Suwen heard the news that the two generals in the city were fighting.

The seeds of conspiracy spread in the royal city of Goguryeo, and even the belongings sent by the Tang army were found in a general's palace.

The next day, there was a civil strife in the city, and in order to quell the civil strife, Yuangai Suwen had to rearrange the military arrangements and kill one of them, leaving only one general in the city, so as to calm the civil strife.

It's just that Yuangai Suwen did just fall into the hands of the Tang army, and the one who was killed was Yuangai Suwen's right-hand man, and the one who stayed in the city to advocate defense was just that friend who drank and meat.

Because he was a close friend of Yuangai Suwen, he took over the military power in the royal city this time.

Wen Ting's team increased from 3,000 armor soldiers to 2,000 Goguryeo villagers, which were used to arrange the aftermath and the transportation of grain and grass.

These Goguryeo could eat such good food in the army, and they would rather not be paid and would rather stay in the army.

Zhang Da'an originally wanted to mobilize some grain and grass from Liaodong again, but he didn't expect that this time Liaodong also sent more than ten iron plates.

The strong man guarding on his side, who had just crossed the river from the other side of Liaodong, saw that there was no one around, and saw that Da'an was still observing the iron box, "This is given to the Da'an brothers by Lishan, and the county marquis still has a letter." ”

Zhang Da'an looked at the contents of the letter, this is indeed his brother's handwriting, and the letter writes about the use of this firearm.

"How could my brother know that Goguryeo would mutiny at this time."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Da'an noticed the strong man's expression, and said: "I understand, it's not that my brother expects things first, but that this thing has been hidden in Liaodong, and even I have been hiding it, and when the time comes, it can be handed over to me?" ”

The strong man said, "I have never opened this letter before. ”

Zhang Da'an looked at the bamboo tube, judging from the sealing wax of the bamboo tube, it had indeed not been opened, and the content on the paper was also written in the secret letter of the Ministry of Rites, and ordinary people could not understand the content of the letter.

Zhang Da'an had to refer to the translation of the Ministry of Rites to understand what the letter said.

A moment later, he burned the letter, "This royal city of Goguryeo can be broken." ”

This surprised Wen Ting, who looked at the iron disc in Da'an's hand in disbelief.

At night, Wen Ting and Zhang Da'an took advantage of the night to get close to the city walls of Goguryeo, and Li Yifu took 500 soldiers and horses to prepare for the reception one mile away from the rear.

Zhang Da'an placed all five iron discs under the city wall, that is, the weakest part of the city wall, and pulled out the iron pin in the center.

As soon as this iron pin was pulled out, it was impossible to touch the iron disc, and then Da'an took Wen Ting and more than 100 other people to move to another place against the city wall.

He took out a stone and threw it at the iron disc, and the stone made a crunch when it touched the disc, and nothing happened.

Instead, it attracted the attention of the defenders at the head of the city.

Da'an threw out another one, but there was still no movement.

Seeing that the city was crowded with figures, it seemed that someone had even thrown torches down.

Everyone was about to be exposed to the defenders of the royal city, Wen Ting couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply picked up a big stone at his feet and threw it towards those iron discs.

The big stone was thrown out, and Wen Ting lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

As a result, it was also exposed to the torchlight of the Goguryeo defenders.

The defenders at the head of the city shouted for a while, and even someone had already opened their bows and arrows, but the arrows had not yet been shot, and Wen Ting had fallen to the ground before he got up, only to hear an explosion.

The crowd shuddered, and at this moment the smoke was filled under the city walls, and there was the movement of bricks and stones rolling down, followed by a wail and a shout.

The thick smoke made people cough, and Da'an couldn't help but retreat with people, not knowing what Wen Ting's situation was at this time.

When the wind blew away the smoke, I saw in the moonlight that an entire wall had collapsed.

Speaking of that time, Wen Ting fell to the ground just to avoid the broken stones that flew up during the explosion, and when the smoke of gunpowder was filled, he turned over and rolled into the distance, which did not affect himself.

said that it was too late and that was fast, Wen Ting had palpitations at the moment, got up, looked at the scene in front of him, and saw that the entire city wall was blown out of a gap, and the entire wall collapsed.

Torches were constantly being driven inside the city walls, and many of Goguryeo's defenders were buried under the city.

Looking at his feet, there are still a lot of rubble, if he just rolled far enough, he might have been buried alive.

When he came back to his senses again, Wen Ting suddenly realized that there was no city wall between him and the Goguryeo people in front of him.

The opponent's arrows were already aimed at themselves.

"Damn!" Wen Ting scolded angrily and turned his head and ran.

The arrows whistled by, and at this moment the Goguryeo people were not embarrassed, Wen Ting hid in a downhill and gasped, and after calming down, he shouted: "Brother Da'an!" The city is broken! ”

As soon as the voice came out and there was no response, he shouted again: "Damn! The city is broken! ”

"Someone saw it! Don't howl! ”

Da'an's roar came from the side.

"What the is this! It's the first time I've seen it in my life, and I'm evil. Wen Ting simply pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist.

Before the Tang troops on both sides of the city wall rushed in, Li Yifu was in the distance, shouting in Goguryeo, "Kill the traitor Yuan Gai Suwen!" ”
