Chapter 833 The Battle of Pyongyang
Jin Yuxin didn't expect Tang Jun's kindness to be so difficult to turn down, and Su Dingfang had already made a decision without even giving Jin Yuxin a chance to refuse.

Naturally, Jin Yuxin didn't want Tang Jun to come forward. After all, he didn't know what Tang Jun was thinking. Once he arrived in Silla and didn't leave, it would be a great threat to the whole Silla.

However, the Tang army also had its own reasons for sending troops, not only because of what Jin Yuxin said was that the Japanese invaded the city and the Silla army could not handle it, but also because the Tang army and the Japanese army had already started a war, and it was only right for the Tang army to go to destroy the Japanese army. Silla If people do not allow the Tang army to wipe out the Japanese army, it would be a bit of collusion.

On the side of Xiongjin City, while Liu Rengui sent troops to Silla, he sent people to inform the King of Silla and Jin Chunqiu. At the same time, the Goguryeo battlefield was already raging.

On Baekje's side, Su Dingfang had already won a great victory. He not only wiped out Baekje, but also completely annihilated the [-] naval forces of the Japanese kingdom, and completely included Baekje in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo's side also reported frequent successes.

Just ten days ago, when Liu Rengui defeated the Japanese navy, the main force of the Tang army led by Li Ji also broke through Anshi City, killing more than [-] enemies in the first battle, and then smashed eight cities including Nansu and Mudi. According to Fuyuchuan, they wiped out more than [-] enemies, and then sent troops to the south, approaching Dahangcheng, an important town in Goguryeo.

Dahang City was already pointed at by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no room for loss. Just after Li Ji broke Anshi City and forced Dahang City, the whole country of Goguryeo was shocked. Dou Fanglou led an army of [-] to defend Dahang Town.

Dahang City is backed by Dahang Mountain and adjacent to the Yalu River. It is the most important town north of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. If Dahang City is lost, Pyongyang will have no danger to defend before. The city is extremely heavy, Dahang City already has [-] troops stationed, plus the [-] reinforcements led by Dou Fanglou, the strength of a Dahang City has reached [-].

Dahang City has 5 troops, and Li Ji's soldiers are only [-] in total. After excluding the troops left behind in the cities, Li Ji led the troops to Dahang City with only [-] troops.

In terms of numbers, Li Ji's army is smaller than the Goguryeo army, but the combat power of the Tang army is far from what the Goguryeo people can match. Li Ji's 8 troops include both the Longfu soldiers and the Hebei army, and most of them are good at fighting. Strong soldier.

As for Dou Fanglou, there were [-] Mohe soldiers and [-] Goguryeo soldiers who were improvised.

Goguryeo's arrangement was not because Li Ji was underestimated, but because there was no other way. Since Li Shimin's personal conquest at the end of the Zhenguan period, the Tang army wiped out more than [-] Goguryeo troops in Liaodong, and more than half of the Goguryeo army was lost.

In addition, during these years, Anton protected Xue Rengui under Li Ke's order, and often sent troops to harass the Goguryeo border, making the whole Goguryeo unsafe. Now Goguryeo is extremely war-weary, and it is really impossible to gather more troops. In other words, these people are all on the battlefield, so Li Ji dared to besiege Dahang City with only 5 horses.

In the north, Li Ji besieged Dahang City, and in the south, Su Dingfang also went north as promised after destroying Baekje. The army will be empty.

Goguryeo's main force of more than [-] troops was drawn by Li Ji and Su Dingfang from the north to the south, and there was no spare power. As a result, Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, was empty of troops, and the whole city had less than [-] troops.

Just after Li Ji broke through Anshi City, Xue Rengui went to the Andong Governor's Mansion and several surrounding governor's mansions rushed out. They led [-] elite soldiers from Liaodong City to the south, went around Mudi Prefecture, crossed the Yalu River, and crossed the berth. Burning City, take the trail to the city of Pyongyang.

Xue Rengui's soldiers were extremely fast, and he was good at marching in a hurry. When the people of Goguryeo learned of the whereabouts of Xue Rengui's army, Xue Rengui was less than [-] miles away from Pyongyang City, which was only a day's journey.

Pyongyang City, Goguryeo Palace.

In the inner hall of the palace, Goguryeo King Gao Zang Duan sat at the top of the hall, listening to Yuan Gai Su Wen’s words, while the Goguryeo power minister Yuan Gai Su Wen sat in the second seat carelessly, sitting with Gao Zang to report the matter, and he did not see him as a minister at all. He should be cautious, but Gao Zang was cautious, for fear of offending Yuan Gai Suwen.

It has been six years since Yuangai Suwen killed Goguryeo Xianrongliu King in the 16th year of Zhenguan. Even Gao Zang, the king of Goguryeo, was just an obedient puppet. For the scene in front of him, the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers have long been familiar with it.

"Your Majesty, just now the scouts in the army received the news that Xue Rengui, the Protector of Tang Ting An Dong, has led an army of [-] across the Yalu River and is heading straight for Pyongyang. Your Majesty still needs to make up his mind." Yuan Gai Su Wen sat on the second seat, staring at him. Follow Gao Zang and say to Gao Zang.

The arrival of the Tang army in the city was a major event, but Gao Zang, the puppet king, had never been in charge of major events in the Goguryeo court these years. Yuan Gai Suwen asked him, but it was just a formality.

Gao Zang was also sensible, and replied as usual: "I'm young, and I don't know anything about military affairs. Military and political affairs in this country have always been the idea of ​​Mo Lizhina."

In fact, if it was Gao Zang's own intention, if it wasn't because Yuan Gai Su Wen disrespected Tang Ting and annoyed Li Shimin, he would not have led the Tang army to attack aggressively, causing Goguryeo to lose troops and generals, and they have been beaten year after year.It will not make Li Shimin so obsessed with the destruction of Goguryeo, so that Li Ke, the new successor to the throne of the Tang Dynasty, can't wait to send troops to the east in the third year of his ascension, and the army will invade.

Right now, the best way to solve Goguryeo's dilemma is to tie Yuangai Suwen and dedicate it to Tang Emperor Li Ke, hoping to appease Li Ke's anger and keep Goguryeo's Guozuo by chance, but Gao Zang didn't have this idea The courage to speak.

Yuan Gai Su Wen was not polite, and immediately asked his eldest son, Yuan Boy, who was in charge of military affairs in Beijing: "Boy, most of the troops in the middle school have been transferred to the north and south to defend against Li Ji and Su Dingfang. There are also adjustable soldiers?"

Boy Yuan replied: "There are [-] elites under Fusun's command in Bozhuo City, and it is only two or three days away from Pyongyang."

The Tang army bypassed Dahang City, and used elite troops to penetrate Goguryeo's confidantes. They wanted to take Pyongyang City directly, almost wanting to kill Goguryeo in one fell swoop. Deep, you can stick to the outside, and there are [-] elites under Suofusun's command.

Yuan Gai Suwen nodded and said: "Bo Zhuocheng is right behind Xue Rengui's army, so we can flank Tang's army with our army. Hurry up and order all the troops led by Suo Fusun to go to reinforce Pyongyang and encircle and suppress Xue Rengui together with me."
