Chapter 845
The combat strength of the Goguryeo army was far inferior to that of the Tang army, and they had no intention of fighting. After the death of Yuangai Suwen, the Goguryeo army lost their commander and completely lost their will to fight, and they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

The Damolizhi Mansion in Pyongyang City has been captured by Xue Rengui, and then he ordered someone to take the head of Yuangai Suwen to the city. The Goguryeo defenders in the city also surrendered without a fight. It is logical to let the city out up.

It took only two hours from the time when the Tang army entered the city to completely rejecting Pyongyang City and occupying various fortresses, granaries and arsenals in the city.

The next day at Yinshi, it was only dawn, and the people in Pyongyang woke up as usual and opened the doors and windows, but they were surprised to find that the Koguryo soldiers who had been stationed everywhere in the city had disappeared, and instead they were patrolling the streets. Generals and soldiers of the Tang army wearing Tang armor.

Since the Tang Army's Eastern Expedition, especially since the Tang Army's siege, the security in Pyongyang has been strengthened, and the back and forth between soldiers have been frequent, even at night.

Last night the Tang army entered the city and there was indeed some commotion, but it was still restrained and did not disturb the people, so Goguryeo was only regarded as the transfer of the Goguryeo army, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but I never thought that the whole city of Pyongyang would be changed this morning. God.

The people in Pyongyang still don’t know why this happened, but looking at the soldiers of the Tang army patrolling the streets, they also knew what happened, so they came out boldly to take a look, and simply hid in their homes when they were less courageous. go out.

Li Ji issued a strict order when he broke the city. Part of the things in the Pyongyang treasury can be used to reward the three armies, but no one is allowed to rob the people, so the people in the city can still maintain peace, but the Goguryeo officials are completely They can't help themselves.

Inside the Goguryeo royal city, Li Ji led the army to break through the royal city and entered the royal city. King Gaozang had brought a group of Goguryeo courtiers, kneeling on the palace road like ants lined up to surrender.

"Foreign minister Goguryeo Gaozang, bring the courtiers from all over the country to kowtow to the commander-in-chief!" King Gaozang held the king seal of King Goguryeo in his hand, kneeling in front of Li Ji and worshiped.

Although Gao Zang is the king of Goguryeo, but now he kneels in front of Li Ji, his posture can be said to be extremely low, and he doesn't even dare to call himself king, only dare to address him as a minister.

Li Ji is actually quite dissatisfied with Goguryeo. At the beginning, Li Ji fell under the city of Anshi, which caused Li Shimin's personal conquest to fail to return. Li Ji has always been worried about this. , it is not appropriate to order to kill without permission, and with the emperor's confidantes like Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui by his side, Li Ji will probably kill after breaking the city.

However, although Li Ji did not kill people, he would not let go of Goguryeo's monarchs and officials quietly. Li Ji did not make King Gao Zang stand up, but asked: "Gao Zang, when you were an enemy of my Tang Dynasty When you disrespected me, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, did you ever think that this day would happen?"

How could King Gaozang dare to accept such a crime? Hearing Li Ji's words, he hurriedly explained: "I report to the commander-in-chief, the foreign minister was hijacked by Goguryeo power traitor Yuan Gaisuwen to ascend the throne, and he was nothing more than a puppet. Tang, disrespect to Your Majesty, what Goguryeo did back then was all done by Yuan Gai Suwen, it was not the intention of foreign ministers."

Gao Zang was quite dissatisfied with Yuan Gai Suwen in the past, but now he had to be grateful to Yuan Gai Suwen in his heart, if Yuan Gai Suwen didn't support him, After doing these things, he really can't get it out as the king of Goguryeo.

But since Li Ji wanted to beat and intimidate the Goguryeo emperor and ministers, how could he let them go because of Gao Zang's words, Li Ji said: "You are the emperor, and Yuan Gai Su Wen is the minister, how can Yuan Gai Su Wen be able to decide the state affairs? , Could it be that you lied to me to save your life?"

Gao Zang hurriedly explained: "The ministers dare not lie to the Marshal, this is indeed the truth."

Li Ji was noncommittal to Gao Zang's words, just smiled contemptuously, and then asked Jin Yuxin who stood behind him without saying a word for a long time: "General Jin, I have been in the Central Plains for a long time, and I don't care much about your Sanhan affairs." Familiar, you have dealt with Goguryeo a lot, but what King Gaozang said is true or not?"

Originally, Jin Yuxin just watched from the sidelines, never said a word, let alone thought that Li Ji would suddenly call him by name, so he was a little stunned.

However, although Jin Yuxin was a little stunned, Gao Zang seemed to see the hope of survival. King Gao Zang hurriedly said to Jin Yu: "General Jin, the three Koreans on the peninsula are in the same line, and they are of the same spirit. Please come to General Jin to treat them." Commander, tell the truth."

Gao Zang's words fell into his ears, and Jin Yuxin's expression on the side suddenly changed, becoming very ugly. If it wasn't for Li Ji's presence, Jin Yuxin would have kicked Gao Zang away.

Jin Yuxin hurriedly put aside the relationship and said: "I, Goguryeo, am loyal to the Celestial Dynasty and to Your Majesty, whoever is in the same spirit as you, Goguryeo."

Jin Yuxin said that he was afraid that Silla would be harmed by Goguryeo. After all, the Tang army is now powerful, and Sanhan has already broken the second. The remaining Silla is definitely not the opponent of Tang army. He explained to Li Ji: "Marshal Mingjian, don't listen to Gao Zang's words, I, Silla, are loyal to Datang and have no second thoughts."

Li Ji looked at Gao Zang's panic, smiled and said: "General Jin, don't worry, the loyalty of the Silla Kingdom to my Tang Dynasty has always been known to me. This time, our Tang army can defeat Baekje and Goguryeo. Silla and General Jin have contributed a lot, and this commander is about to ask His Majesty to reward General Jin for his contribution."

In fact, Jin Yuxin didn't care much about Li Ke's reward. Now Jin Yuxin is most worried about the situation in Silla Kingdom. After all, Liu Ingui led the army into Silla in the name of exterminating the Japanese army for some time.Most of the capable soldiers in Silla's hands are now in his hands. He also wants to know the current situation in Silla and lead the army back to the country earlier.

Jin Yu said: "The last general is only worth his size, so he dare not ask for rewards from His Majesty. It's just that the soldiers under the last general's command have been away from home for a long time, and they are eager to return home. Now that the overall situation is settled, the last general invites the army to return to the country, and I hope the commander-in-chief Allowed."

Li Ji nodded and said: "This is what it should be. You have already led the army in foreign wars, and it is human nature to be homesick and want to return to the country."

Li Ji's words sounded very reasonable, he seemed to want to release Kim Yushin and his army back to Silla, and Jin Yuxin also showed joy, but how could Li Ji let Jin Yuxin go so easily? Before the smile on Jin Yuxin's mouth spread across his face, Li Ji spoke again.

Li Jidao: "Although General Jin wants to return the teacher to the country, there is no need to be in a hurry. After all, the commander's memorial to General Jin has already been sent back to Chang'an, and His Majesty will order someone to come to Pyongyang to reward the reward soon. General, if General Kim was not in Pyongyang at that time, I'm afraid it would be wrong, and he would be suspected of neglecting Shengyu."

Li Ji's hat was not small, Su Dingfang asked for credit for Jin Yuxin, Li Ke personally issued a decree to reward Yuxin, if Jin Yuxin ran back to Silla, it would be wrong, Jin Yuxin could never bear the crime of neglecting Shengyu.

Jin Yuxin had no choice but to say: "The last general dare not, and the last general should wait here for the holy words."
