Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1068
The army left the camp and marched towards the city of Pyongyang in a mighty manner. The morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow, and they vowed to capture the city of Pyongyang.

There are scouts flying horses to report.

"Your Majesty, the gates of Pyongyang City are wide open, and soldiers and horses are leaving the city."

Li Shimin and a group of generals were stunned when they heard this. There were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Goguryeo city, and they dared to go out of the city to fight?
Unexpectedly, these Goguryeo soldiers who stayed behind were quite bloody, and they even had the courage to go out of the city to fight.

However, this is also a good thing. Defeating this remnant army is a breeze, and then they can capture Pyongyang City without bloodshed.

"I didn't expect that the remaining tens of thousands of defenders are quite bloody. We must fight a fierce battle to fulfill their bloody!" Cheng Yaojin yelled.

"That's right, the Goguryeo people were a bit bloody after all, we can't let them down, we must fulfill them, let them all die in battle with honor!" Yuchi echoed respectfully.

Look, is this what people say?Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen felt ashamed when they heard that, this is a group of butchers, Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu are not good to mess with, they have to mess with this group of butchers.

Because the two of them were going to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, they were able to follow the emperor. They were very excited and felt honored.

Gao Yanshou hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they also feel that there is no way out, so they dare to offend Tianwei, and I am willing to persuade you to surrender. They will definitely abandon their secrets and surrender to Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If they can sincerely surrender, that's of course good. If they can't, I won't force it!"

Now that these defenders have come out of the city, it doesn't matter whether they return or not, and it is not difficult to kill them.

At this moment, another scout flying horse came.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the Goguryeo soldiers and horses leaving the city have raised white flags!"

All raised the white flag?
Isn't that just wanting to surrender?
Li Shimin and a group of generals couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this, they thought the defenders in the city were bloody and wanted to come out of the city to fight, but they didn't expect that they were going out of the city to surrender.

There's no such thing as blood, it's all cowardly.

That's right, if the defenders in these cities are bloody, how could Yuan Gaisuwen leave them to defend the city?I will definitely take them out of the city to fight.

The most confused are Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. They also made up their minds to persuade the defenders and ministers in the city to surrender. This is a rare credit.

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 come out to surrender.

The two of them couldn't help cursing in their hearts, can't you be a little more reserved?

You are so unreserved, we still have the credit for the fart?
After all, we fought a battle before we surrendered. You surrendered without even fighting. Do you still have any conscience?Do you have any humanity left?
Su Cheng said with a smile: "These generals of Goguryeo are very knowledgeable about current affairs!"

Gao Yanshou hastily flattered: "Your Majesty, wherever the might of the heavens comes, no one dares to disobey!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing loudly. Conquering Goguryeo has been his biggest dream in these years. Now that the defenders of Pyongyang City have surrendered and the city gate is wide open, this indicates that his dream of so many years will finally fall.

At this moment, Li Shimin felt really happy in his heart.

It has been many years since he felt so happy, Li Shimin said loudly with a red face: "Accelerate the march, the generals should not relax their vigilance, in case they feign defeat!"

Although his heart was bursting with excitement, Li Shimin was not blinded by the joy of victory, and was still vigilant in his heart.

The mighty army approached Pyongyang City, and the city gate of Pyongyang City was opened wide, and 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 set up a battle formation, and they were still holding white flags.

The mighty army stopped slowly, Gao Yanshou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go and check?"

Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is inevitable that Goguryeo will be annexed by Datang. Of course, he wants to show it well.

Just as Li Shimin was about to agree, he suddenly found that the Goguryeo army in front had dozens of cavalry leaving the army formation and heading towards this side, neither fast nor slow, and there were white flags waving.

Gao Yanshou cursed in his heart, damn it, he really didn't give him a chance.

Dozens of riders came, all generals in the army. Before they reached the army, they got off their horses first, and then led the horses.

Li Shimin came out more and more, followed by a group of generals.

No one needs to introduce, those generals who came to accept the surrender also know who is the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, after all, who dares to steal the emperor's limelight and stand in the front at this time?

They all knelt down on one knee, and the first few people shouted: "The guilty ministers Gao Yuansheng, the guilty ministers Li Chengrui, the guilty ministers Cui Guangwei, and the guilty ministers Li Yan, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Well, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, I am very relieved that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to me, and you can take the city of Pyongyang without bloodshed. You have contributed to the city, and I will reward you in the future! Come on, don't be too polite!"

Li Chengrui and the others were very excited when they heard this. Although they knew that when they came out to surrender, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely not kill them, but treat them courteously, but that was just a previous guess after all.

Now they were completely relieved, they got up quickly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, all the subordinates of the minister have withdrawn from the capital, and all the gates of the city have been opened to welcome your majesty into the city. Please order, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengrui and the others were very knowledgeable in directly withdrawing all the soldiers and horses from Pyongyang City.Li Shimin nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Your soldiers and horses set up camp twenty miles to the northwest. As for the few of you, follow me into the city with Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen!"

"Your servant obeys!" Li Chengrui and others respectfully said.

"Generals, congratulations, you have finally come to your senses and turned to the light. From now on, we will all be courtiers!" Gao Yanshou laughed, feeling like he was taking the lead.

In fact, he felt a little jealous, because he had just lost the battle when he surrendered, and he had neither contributed to the city nor had any soldiers under his command, so he couldn't say much about it.

But these few generals have contributed to the city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under their command. This is the foundation of their foothold, how can they not make him jealous?

What made him even more uncomfortable was that these generals were just local generals. If they had been before, they would not have been in his eyes at all, because they were too far away from his official position.

Now, things are turning.

However, Li Chengrui and the others did not dare to underestimate Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. Firstly, the two men still have their prestige, and secondly, they were the first to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
