Li Er, three years after three years, I have been enthroned

Chapter 30 The Desperate King of Goguryeo (Please recommend for further reading)
"You, what did you say?"

Li Yuan was the first to come back to his senses, and asked stammeringly.

Mainly because the news was too sudden and hard to predict.

It took a lot of time for the expeditionary force to fight Liaodong, and there was no progress for a long time.

Why did Yang Zhao quickly destroy Liaodong City as soon as he took over, and then severely damaged the main force of Goguryeo?

Now that Wugu City has been broken again, who could have predicted these news?
"It's impossible!"

Li Shimin muttered.

They all know that although the expeditionary force has a large number of troops, there are obstacles from aristocratic families.

That's why it didn't break through for such a long time.

In this case, Yang Zhao can still destroy Liaodong and even Black Bone City, which shows how difficult it is.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinbo repeated the reported information.

After listening, Li Yuan still found it difficult to accept it.

The expressions on Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's faces were also very exciting.

Now Yang Zhao's image in their hearts seems to have reached a high level.

"I know, please step back first."

Li Yuan came back to his senses and said calmly to Li Jinbo.

"promise."

Li Jinbo accepted the order and left quickly.
As soon as Li Jinbo left, the entire hall returned to calm, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

"Cough cough."

Li Yuan coughed a few times.

"Mr. Tang, it seems that Yang Zhao is not weak."

Chai Shao laughed.

"Nephew, don't think Yang Zhao is great just based on this news."

Li Yuan said seriously.

"But uncle, this is already very clear."

Chai Shao replied.

“It’s unclear who’s handiwork is in it, otherwise Yang Zhao is from a humble family, how could he have achieved this?”

Li Yuan asked back.

If you haven't studied the art of war and have no martial arts skills, you really can't do this.

"What uncle said makes sense."

Chai Shao was also moved.

Then everyone didn't talk much about Yang Zhao.

Chai Shao didn't sit still for a long time. He figured it was almost time, so he stood up to say goodbye.

After all, what's the point of staying here if you can't see the people you want to see?

Moreover, Chai Shao has achieved the purpose of this trip.

"My dear nephew, I have come all the way to stay for a few days, so that my uncle can fulfill his duties as a landlord."

Li Yuan said.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness. My nephew still has some things to deal with when he returns. Please come back later."

Chai Shao cupped his hands and replied.

Hearing this, Li Yuan did not stay long and asked Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to see him off.

After Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng sent Chai Shao away, they returned.

"Father, something is fishy!"

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"Yes, with Yang Zhao, how can it be possible to accomplish these things?"

Li Jiancheng agreed.

The two brothers are on the same page, and they haven't digested the news until now.

"Because the father knows."

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said.

He was not shocked, but because of Chai Shao's presence, he didn't say much about this matter.

"Father, where will Yang Zhao be in three years? Can the Li family control him?"

Li Jiancheng said worriedly.

"Ugh."

Li Yuan sighed, the direction of things was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Father, why not stop the plan and let Yang Zhao come back?"

Li Jiancheng suggested.

"No, he has reached this point and is getting closer to His Majesty. To a certain extent, it is a good thing."

Li Yuan flatly refused.

If Yang Zhao comes back at this time, what will the royal family think?
"What father said is true. Maybe Yang Zhao can play an unexpected role in the future."

Li Shimin followed suit.

"Although the words are good, I may not be able to control him in the future."

Li Jiancheng replied. "Eldest brother, don't worry. With his feelings for Sister, how can he not be able to control it?"

Li Shimin laughed.

"Yes, as a father, I almost forgot this."

Li Yuan nodded in response.

"Ok."

Li Jiancheng reluctantly agreed.

"In this case, maybe we can add fuel to the fire in the future."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Returning to Goguryeo, the army rested for a while in Wugu City and then set foot directly on the road to Pyongyang City.

This time, the army of the Eastern Expedition is fully suppressing, and it is to push Pyongyang horizontally in one breath.

The main force of Goguryeo had suffered heavy losses, and Ulji Mundeok was also dead.

The defenders of Pyongyang were unable to stop the Sui army's million-strong army.

When the entire army marched towards Pyongyang City, Pyongyang City finally got the news.

In the Royal Palace of Pyongyang City, the current King of Goguryeo, Gowon, later known as King Yingyang, was pacing back and forth in the palace.

There was an old minister beside him, who was constantly comforting him.

"It doesn't make sense. There's no news about Eulji Mundeok, and there's no news about the reinforcements that went there. What's going on?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, maybe it was because of the intense war that we didn't have time to send the information."

The old minister comforted him.

This veteran minister was Yeon Taejo, the prime minister of Goguryeo, another minister besides Eulji Mundeok.

It is worth mentioning that the defender of Wugu City, Yuengai Suwen, is his heir.

"Impossible, something must have happened."

Gao Yuan shook his head.

"Tap."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a soldier was seen running in hurriedly.

"See your Majesty and the Prime Minister."

The soldiers saluted quickly.

"Is it the battle report that came in? What is the situation now? What is the situation in Wugu City?"

Gao Yuan asked hurriedly.

"This"

The soldier hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say.

"It's true."

Gao Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Wugu Fortress has been destroyed, and General Eulji Mundeok and General Yeongaesomun have both died in the battle."

Soldiers report.

"what?"

Gao Yuan exclaimed.

"Whoa."

Yuan Taizuo's vision went dark and he fainted.

"Quick, call the imperial doctor quickly!"

Gao Yuan was shocked and quickly ordered.

The soldiers sent the order, and soon the imperial doctor took away the unconscious Yuan Taizuo.

"how is this possible!"

Gao Yuan couldn't believe it, after all, many reinforcements were sent from all over the country.

With the strength of Wugu City, it was enough to withstand the Sui army for a period of time, so there was no reason for it to be breached so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the main reason why it was defeated was because the main force of our army was ambushed."

said the soldier.

Only then did Gao Yuan remember the reason why Eulji Munduk asked him for help.

"Now the army of the Sui Army is approaching Pyongyang City, and it will probably arrive in a short time."

The soldier continued.

"In this case, why are you still standing there? Quickly convey the king's order and dispatch troops stationed in other places to come to the rescue."

Gao Yuan said almost roaring.

"Your Majesty, the troops stationed in other places are dead and wounded, and they will not be able to come to the rescue in a short time."

The soldier spoke truthfully.

“So, isn’t Pyongyang city isolated and helpless?”

Gao Yuan collapsed on the ground.
