Prince of Tang Dynasty is too arrogant

Chapter 796 Lead the army and enter the capital

Passing through a long and narrow valley, the Tang army entered the territory of Goguryeo.

The horn sounded, the flag was held high, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were full of high spirits, and the army marched in the direction of the royal capital of Koguryo neatly.

"This, this is Datang's army."

"Isn't there news before that Khan has already been arrested by them. Now I'm afraid he is decapitated."

The people along the way were terrified when they saw the orderly cavalry and the weapons and equipment of the soldiers. Some timid people even lost their strength and fell to the ground.

"They're not going to kill us!"

"Yes, yes, no..."

While discussing timidly, those common people knelt down in front of the Tang army flag raised by the iron cavalry.Some people hated Jin Hanwen more and more in their hearts.

If it weren't for Jin Hanwen repeatedly leading troops to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty and provoke the Tang court.How could their Goguryeo subjugate the country like this, and how could they be reduced to the end of being slaughtered.

Li Chengqian, who was leading the army, was very satisfied when he saw that the people along the way knelt down and surrendered.

Although it is true that Goguryeo has repeatedly provoked, his cheap father has already planned to take down the territory of Goguryeo.

Before that, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was already very vast. If he took down Goguryeo during his reign, he would be able to add another treasure land to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then he would be able to surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor and be praised by the world.

It's just that this achievement still allowed him to get it after all, and his father didn't take advantage of it at all.Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's mood became more and more joyful.

When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty saw the vendors' stalls along the way of Goguryeo, they hated these barbarians more and more in their hearts, and at the same time admired His Highness the Crown Prince's move to capture Goguryeo.

Goguryeo is located in the middle of the only road between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and it is the only way for traders from all walks of life.

Previously, Goguryeo had already used this geographical advantage to snatch all the treasures of those traders and made countless fortunes.

This time the Tang Dynasty captured Goguryeo and regained these gold and silver treasures and the main roads connecting with the Western Regions, which will definitely make their Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

Those soldiers had anticipated the prosperous Tang dynasty that would be richer and more prosperous than they are now, and they also anticipated their future life at home, and they were even more pleased with the current defeat of Goguryeo.

The iron rider entered the gate of the capital of Koguryo King, and Li Chengqian looked at the iron gate.

He signaled to a soldier, "Go."

"Yes, His Royal Highness." The soldiers understood Li Chengqian's intentions, and quickly rode towards the city gate with horns on their horses, sounding the horn of victory.

"Listen up, people in the city. Your Khan has been strangled by our army, and my Tang Dynasty has now fully occupied Goguryeo. I hope you still have self-knowledge and open the door to welcome our army. Those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish. I hope you Don't make stubborn and useless resistance, and sincerely obey me, Datang!"

Not long after the soldiers finished speaking, everyone in the Tang army saw the white flag of surrender raised high above the city gate, and the city gate slowly opened.

"Your Highness, the treasure of Goguryeo is in my pocket, congratulations." Hou Guangliang, who was following behind Li Chengqian, said with a ruddy complexion.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Hou Guangliang, then looked at the high-spirited soldiers behind him, waved his battle robe, and said to the soldiers: "Let's go, go and harvest the spoils of your hard work!"

After speaking, he patted the white dragon horse, and resolutely passed through the city gate in an instant, and arrived at the inner city of the capital.

The soldiers in the king's capital already had the idea of ​​surrendering when they got the news of the defeat of the front army, and seeing the terrifying momentum of the Tang army's iron cavalry, they had no intention of resisting.

So the guards in the city took off their armor and threw their weapons on the ground.The rest of the ordinary people also knelt on the ground to express their complete sincerity and obedience.

Li Chengqian picked a bodyguard from the prostrate people, and then he took Hou Guangliang, Chai Lingwu, Qin Huaiyu and a group of guards in Goguryeo and rushed straight to the royal palace.

The rest of the army of butchers all entered the city to stay in the city, rectify the army, and wait for the military order.

Before Li Chengqian left, he did not give any extra instructions to the iron knight soldiers of the butcher's army.

Because even if he didn't give any orders, he also believed that the army he cultivated would not violate the basic principles, bully others, kill innocent people indiscriminately, rape and plunder in this king's capital...

After arriving at the palace, Li Chengqian went straight to the central palace and said to the Goguryeo ministers kneeling below: "Are you in charge of the national treasury?"

Li Chengqian's voice was very low, and he pressed down on several people with the momentum of a superior.

"Yes." Several ministers below looked at each other and answered together.

Seeing the reactions of the ministers below, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone remained unchanged, "Tell me about the financial situation of the treasury."

Those ministers kept their heads down, as if they didn't dare to look at Li Chengqian above.

One of them said: "The treasury now has 300 taels of gold, ten dou of agate, ten dou of pearls and emerald..."

Following the minister's return, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth became wider and wider, but the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.

The Goguryeo ministers below didn't notice it, and thought it was the prince of the Tang Dynasty's joy at the upcoming treasure harvest.Only the three of Qin Huaiyu who stood aside really realized that this was a sign of anger for their Highness the Crown Prince.

At this time, these ministers were still secretly delighted that their strategy had succeeded.

Just when they learned of the defeat ahead, they and the rest of the dignitaries and nobles in the royal capital of Goguryeo began to snatch the treasures in the treasury one after another, and finally all of them quietly hid in their private houses.

They just want to wait for the Tang army to withdraw their troops out of Goguryeo, and they will take these treasures away and go to other places to continue to be happy.

It's just that how could these people who were fascinated by the dazzling array of jewels and fell into greed know that their micro expressions had completely caught Li Chengqian's eyes.

They never thought about how many treasures Goguryeo had robbed in the Tang Dynasty before, at least tens of thousands of gold and countless treasures.

But now the treasury of this country only has 300 taels of gold, is it possible?
"Are you sure that's all there is?" Li Chengqian's tone became more and more dangerous.

The minister swallowed his throat, carrying Li Chengqian's pressure, completely unwilling to admit the treasure he hid: "Yes, that's all."

"Okay, since your lord said so, I will believe you." Several ministers were secretly delighted.

Li Chengqian looked at the few people who couldn't hide their smiles, and said in a cold tone: "Why don't you see other court ministers!"

A few people froze, I'm afraid that others are preparing to escape now.

Li Chengqian didn't intend to give them time to react, so he immediately got up and ordered: "Tie all the ministers of Goguryeo to me!"
