Chapter 662 Fishing in Troubled Waters (Second More)

Those who make a big deal with one sentence do not seek to agree with Gao Jianwu's heart.

Since he ascended the throne in the hands of his elder brother, there have been many controversies, and the ministers of Goguryeo have always compared him with his elder brother.The former king of Goguryeo, who had four times repelled the attack of the Sui Dynasty's army, was largely unknown.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, as Goguryeo's power minister Western Lord, Kanda has always been disrespectful to Lu Yuan Taizuo.Yuan Taizuo has a strong force, and his men and horses have experienced several battles against the Liao Dynasty, and they have tempered an elite team of hundreds of battles. The Shunnu tribe under his command has [-] soldiers, which can be called the strongest combat power among the five tribes of Goguryeo. The generals of the Shunnu Department led by Zuo are very confident.In addition, Goguryeo has always had a very serious antagonism between the North and the South.When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yuan Taizuo and other northern generals suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to fight over the Liaoshui River and continue to invade the Han land. However, Gao Jianwu and other royal representatives from the south advocated taking advantage of the defeat of the Sui Dynasty to negotiate peace with him.

The final result was that Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty negotiated peace. Yuan Taizuo was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and threatened to make Gao Jianwu look good.Of course, Gao Jianwu was not a cheap lamp. At that time, Yuan Taizuo was old, and he had been intending to pass on the position of his rival Lu to his son Yuan Gaisuwen.

But Gao Jianwu stood in the way and united a group of ministers to oppose it, and finally passed the position of the big opponent Lu to Eulji Wende.Until Yuan Taizuo died of illness, the big opponent Lu was still in charge of Eulji Wende, and it was not passed on to his son.As a result, after Yuan Taizuo died of illness, the confrontation between the North and the South in Goguryeo became more serious. His son Yuan Gai Suwen has since supported himself and ignored Gao Jianwu.

Gao Jianwu heard what the minister said, and made up his mind, wanting a big victory to establish his prestige in Goguryeo.So he immediately threw the jade around his waist to the ground and said to the left and right ministers: "I have made up my mind. I will lead 2000 people to attack Zhao Jun tonight, and the rest will guard the city carefully without any objection."

The jade pendant shattered on the ground, showing Gao Jianwu's determination, everyone agreed at the moment,
That night, Gao Jianwu's 3000 elite Koguryo soldiers descended from Dachengshan City in the dark.The remaining 3000 men and horses are guarding the vital points of the mountain city.You must know that the six peaks of Dacheng Mountain are surrounded by fortifications, which is the most difficult and dangerous. [-] troops are definitely more than enough to defend the city.

Although Gao Jianwu is eager to win, he is not reckless.

However, it is said that two thousand Goguryeo, who went down the mountain to sneak attack, contacted the city's internal response, and launched an attack that night.The soldiers had just arrived at the gate of the city when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves. It turned out that they were discovered by the rangers that Li Chongjiu had arranged to patrol outside the city.

The ranger blew the horn in the first time.The sound of the horn resounded in the night, and countless torches were added to the walls of Pyongyang City, and soldiers of Zhao Jun rushed to the top of the city to garrison immediately.

At this time, the Goguryeo insiders in the city were about to set fires everywhere, but at this time the ox horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Zhao army patrolling the city were all dispatched in the streets and alleys under the city.Li Chongjiu boarded the tower, but saw that the torches in the north of the city were bright, and the [-] troops who attacked Goguryeo at night were going to attack the city, but they retreated immediately when they saw that the matter was revealed.

Li Chongjiu laughed when he saw this, and said to Zhang Xuansu: "It is true that the Goguryeo people want to repeat their old tricks and attack Pyongyang at night, but they didn't expect that I was waiting for him."

Zhang Xuansu said from the side: "Your Majesty, the people of Goguryeo are also very cautious. Those who sent to attack the city are just a small group of people."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I know, but no matter how careful the Goguryeo people are, they will not expect my scheme."

After the night attack intention was discovered, the two thousand Koguryo soldiers saw that there were not many cavalry pursued by the Zhao army behind them, so they decided to take advantage of the night and retreat to Dacheng Mountain City.

The defenders at the top of the south gate heard that their troops had returned, and immediately opened the gate to let them through.At this time, there were sudden killing sounds at the south gate. It turned out that Zhao Jun had laid an ambush here at the south gate.

The Koguryo soldiers were shocked, and retreated into the city while facing the battle.

The south gate of Dachengshan City was half opened, and Gao Tao and others led hundreds of Sui soldiers pretending to be Goguryeo soldiers, and they also wanted to sneak into the city.

At this time, the night was dark and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the Zhao army attacked again. All the Goguryeo soldiers rushed into the city, and everyone was in a hurry.However, Gao Tao and other soldiers spoke loudly in Goguryeo. No one thought that Zhao Jun would be proficient in Goguryeo, and all Goguryeo people had no doubts.

Gao Tao and others strode into the city gate, and hundreds of soldiers passed through the south gate along with the Koguryo soldiers.After everyone entered the city gate, Gao Tao and the others winked at the people on the left and right, and dozens of people followed him to rush to the gate of the city.

A few Goguryeo soldiers were guarding the road, and when they saw Gao Tao and others coming up, they immediately cursed: "Are you blind? The city gate is in that direction, what are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gao Tao and the others smiled all over their faces, apologizing and answering in Goguryeo, but they still walked on the city road.Seeing this, the other party's expression changed, and he was about to drink loudly, but Gao Tao took advantage of the momentum and rushed forward, pulled the other party closer to him, took out a knife in his hand, and stabbed the other party's throat.

Blood splattered Gao Tao all over his body, and when he made a move, all the soldiers under his command put on a hideous look, turned their faces and drew their knives and slashed at him fiercely.The same is true on the lower gate of the city. The soldiers of Zhao Jun turned their faces and drew their swords to kill the Goguryeo soldiers beside them.

"Kill the Goguryeo dog!"

Hundreds of soldiers tied white scarves on their arms, and then all raised their heads to the sky and shouted.

Gao Jianwu, who was watching the battle in the city, heard the Chinese language, and suddenly asked in fear, "What's going on?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud fight ahead, and in the flames, countless shadows appeared on the city wall, drawing their swords and fighting each other.The city is in chaos, and the ministers of Goguryeo are also panicking at the moment.

Soon there was the sound of horseshoes, and Zhao Jun's iron cavalry rushed into the city without hindrance.

Seeing this scene, Gao Jianwu suddenly felt powerless.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

A blood-stained general climbed up the mountain from the stone steps at the foot of the mountain almost using his hands and feet. He said to Gao Jianwu: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent. He let Zhao Jun sneak into the city. Now Zhao Jun pretends to be our soldiers and is here." The city was set ablaze and murdered wantonly, and the last general couldn't stop, and another city gate was captured by the Zhao army."

Gao Jianwu tremblingly said: "This, how can this be possible."

The left and right ministers were also beating their chests, blaming each other, saying that those who suggested sending troops to attack at night should be killed.

When the matter came to an end, Gao Jianwu calmed down and said: "Don't panic, the mountain road is so long, Zhao Jun can't attack, immediately find trusted soldiers, close the gate, and no one is allowed in, understand? The safety of the queen and the royal family important."

"Yes." The ministers listened to Gao Jianwu's order, but the next general ordered the soldiers to close the city gate on the mountain.
