Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 381
Under the city of Pyongyang.

Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, was holding the wine glass, staring at the wine with a pair of cloudy eyes, "Is this the Sui people's Longmen Flying General wine? The color is clear and clear, and the taste is very mellow. It is really a good thing. It's a pity that it's too strong. Gu is old, but he can't drink too much of this kind of strong wine."

"The king is still young." A Goguryeo noble flattered him.

"I'm not young anymore. I have inherited the throne for more than 20 years. How can I be young?"

Gao Yuan has been king for 23 years, and Goguryeo has indeed strengthened a lot in his hands, especially after he succeeded to the throne, he continued to strengthen the relationship with the Mohe tribes in the northeast, so that a large number of Mohe tribes have actually attached themselves to Goguryeo.

He also tried to strengthen the relationship with Khitan, but the Khitan people had better relations with the Turks and the Sui Dynasty. For this reason, he also sent troops to attack Khitan, but there was no major progress.

Later, he sent troops to the south and launched a war with Silla. In the war against Silla, Goguryeo could not win and seized a large area of ​​fertile land.

On the other hand, after Gao Yuan succeeded to the throne, he continued to strengthen the power of the royal family. He imitated the twelve guards of the Sui Dynasty and established the Koguryo Guards. It was the Praetorian Guard he had formed over the years.

The defeat of the Sui army this time and such a great victory will certainly further enhance his prestige, and it will certainly play a further role in suppressing Yuan Taizuo in the east.

There used to be five tribes in Goguryeo, but now they have formed two major groups headed by the royal family and the East. The Lord of the East, Molizhiyuan Taizuo, and the Liaodong frontline are mostly under their control.

The royal family integrated the various ministries, and with the help of more than [-] royal guards, it also maintained control over the Yalu River area and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula further south.

"Twelve years ago, we attracted 12 Sui troops because of our attack on western Liaoning. At that time, we were indeed unable to fight the Sui army. Although the Sui army was later defeated by epidemics and floods, in order to avoid war at that time, we were alone. Or I have no choice but to ask Yang Jian to surrender, and the above table claims to be Liaodong's dung earth minister."

Speaking of this past event, Gao Yuan's eyes shone fiercely. Back then, he regarded this matter as a great shame and humiliation.

In the following 12 years, it has been developing with peace of mind, and has never sent troops to cross the boundary with the Sui Dynasty.

"Actually, if Yang Guang hadn't come to attack me, I would have never thought of fighting him again." Gao Yuan told the truth that Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, sent 30 troops to attack at once, which really frightened him.

With the strength of the five ministries of the entire Goguryeo Kingdom, they can barely gather an army of 30.But the Sui army easily assembled an army of 30 to attack.

Also since then, he has a sense of fear of the Sui army in his bones.

If Yang Guang didn't come to beat him, he might only fight Silla, Baekje, Khitan, and Mohe in his life, but he would not dare to fight the Sui Dynasty.

"Who would have thought that the Sui Kingdom was only powerful on the outside? At that time, Yang Jian's 30 troops were wiped out. At that time, I said that it was just a flood of epidemics. If it weren't for that, if they really arrived in Liaodong, we would definitely not be able to stop them." Live. But now look at Yang Guang, who sent millions of troops to Sun, what is the result? Hahaha."

Gao Yuan smiled proudly. It turned out that the Sui army that had terrified him for more than ten years was actually nothing more than that. In a short period of time, his imperial imperial army wiped out 40 elites of the Sui Dynasty.

"When Yang Guang escapes back to the Central Plains, I will take Liaoxi. From then on, Liaodong and Liaoxi will be owned by me in Goguryeo."

Seizing Liaoxi is something that generations of Goguryeo kings have dreamed about.

Night falls.

Outside Pyongyang, a soldier came.

There were not many of them, only about a thousand riders, because it was too dark to see which team they were, but they were all dressed in the clothes of the Koguryo Imperial Army.

At this time, there were only a few thousand king's guards left in Pyongyang to guard the inner and outer cities and Miyagi.

The soldiers of the defenders didn't care much when they saw that it was a light cavalry from the imperial army coming back.

"Open the city gate."

"Which owner's horse is it?"

The Goguryeo people in the city asked.

"We came back from Sashui. Great victory. I, Goguryeo, flooded the nine armies and killed countless Sui people."

Luo Chengcheng stood behind the soldier who spoke. In fact, this soldier was originally a Han citizen of Goguryeo who joined the Left Fifth Army after the capture of Xuantu.

Perhaps the victory made the Goguryeo people lose their vigilance. The successive victories made them never expect that there would be enemies coming at this time.

After telling a few lies casually, although the defender had never heard of the name of the owner of their light cavalry, he didn't take it seriously. After a while, the city gate slowly opened.

Seeing the city gate slowly open, Luo Cheng and the others couldn't believe it.No one would have expected that Pyongyang City would be defrauded so easily.

"There's no cheating here, is there?" Siye also felt it was too easy.

"Probably not. The Goguryeo people have won several victories in succession, making them crazy. They never thought that someone would come here at this time."

"Yeah, Lai Huer was defeated, and the main force was lost. Yu Wenshu and other eight armies fled north in panic, and the 40 army was defeated. Who would believe that there would be another Sui army coming to Pyongyang to die." A Goguryeo soldier dressed Wei Zheng said hehe.

"Then let's just kill him and turn the world upside down!"

The city gates were fully opened and the drawbridge lowered.

Luo Cheng urged him to get off his horse and move forward slowly.

everything is normal.

The soldiers guarding the gate are a little impatient, but they don't seem to be deceitful.

Luo Cheng observed carefully and found that it didn't look like a trap.

For a short distance, Luo Cheng only felt as if a long century had passed.

Finally entered the city gate, a Goguryeo soldier swaggered over holding a torch.

Luo Cheng smiled at him.

"..." The Goguryeo soldier said something, but Luo Cheng didn't understand. His hand had already touched his six-leaf hammer, and then he galloped forward fiercely, and smashed it with the hammer.

When the hammer falls, the sky is shattered.

That person didn't understand why his own people beat his own people until he died.

"Siye, set off fireworks, keep filial piety, control the city gate, Shi Xin, follow me to the gate tower."

While shouting, Luo Cheng took advantage of the Goguryeo people before they could react, and rushed to the top of the city.

A rocket soared into the sky.

It was so obvious in that dark night sky.

An arrow flies into the sky.

Thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other.

Outside the city, Zhao Gui, Du Fuwei and others led the army, and they were all overjoyed to see that one rocket after another had already taken off.

"The general has succeeded, brothers, follow me into Pyongyang City and capture Gao Yuan alive!"

"kill!"

Everyone was very excited, and all the troops roared together, like a spring thunder exploding on the ground, dragons and tigers leaped, sweeping Pyongyang.
