Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 308 Destruction of Goguryeo

The army was defeated like a mountain.

When Pyongyang City was taken by the Datang Navy, the entire Goguryeo royal family became prisoners, and the news that a large group of nobles also became prisoners spread to Liaodong City.

The local guard wisely chose to flee north.

Surrender He did not dare to surrender easily.

There are Shiwei and Mohe to the north, where they want to look forward to the next event in their lives.

Qin Xiedao didn't go after them either. At this time, attacking one city after another was more meaningful than chasing them.

The Kingdom of Goguryeo is doomed to perish, and these deserters are no longer harmful to the overall situation.

"Master, this... such a fortified city, can we take it without hurting a single soldier?"

Standing on the wall of Liaodong City, Li Chengqian looked at the surrounding scene in disbelief.

"A soldier was shocked by his mount when he entered the city. He fell off the horse and was injured, so it is not considered that the soldiers were not injured."

Li Chengqian:  …

When Qin Xie said this, the people around him had nothing to say.

"What are we going to do next?"

Cheng Chumo felt that his hands were a little itchy, and he hadn't fought a good battle yet.

"While arranging people to persuade them to surrender, at the same time find a city that is unwilling to surrender and kill chickens and monkeys. We strive to end the war in Liaodong within three months, and then our army will go directly to Pyongyang City to see if we want to take Silla and Baekje by the way. Teach me a lesson."

Now that he has come out, Qin Xiedao naturally feels that he should take this opportunity to take care of everything on the Korean peninsula.

Lest Goguryeo fall down today, and the people of Silla rise up again tomorrow.

Constantly disgusting Datang there.

Of course, Qin Xiedao was unwilling to completely occupy the Korean peninsula.

This place, in this day and age, is actually a tasteless place.

Although the population density is not low, the conditions in all aspects cannot be compared with Datang.

To be honest, not to mention that the officials in the court didn't like this place, even Qin Xiedao himself didn't like it.

At most, it is to build a few ports, station some naval forces, and indirectly control all aspects of the country.

But the two kingdoms, Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom, as long as they don't die, they will still be kept.

"I listen to Master!"

Li Chengqian naturally had no objection to Qin Xiedao's arrangement.

If he was a little worried about this expedition before, he doesn't have any worries at all now.

The capital of the Goguryeo people is gone, and the so-called No. [-] strong city in Liaodong has now been taken down so easily.

Li Chengqian knew very well that from now on, he just needed to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Sure enough, the subsequent situation was similar to what Qin Xiedao predicted. After taking down a city that refused to surrender, and demoting all the people in the city to slaves, the other cities immediately became honest.

To put it bluntly, almost wherever the Suzaku army went, there was Datang's land.

Once these Goguryeo people figured it out, they surrendered faster than anyone else.

As a result, Qin Xiedao had no choice but to fly pigeons desperately to pass the letter back, so that the court quickly arranged for officials to come and govern the place.

……

"Your Majesty, Gao Ming has really grown up, and he is able to start worrying about the country."

In the Tang Palace, Empress Changsun already knew that Li Chengqian was on the way to victory, and she was quite excited.

It's been nearly a year since she went out this time, and it would be a lie if she said she wasn't worried.

But now that she finally came back safely, Empress Changsun's mood is different.

As the eldest son, Empress Changsun's love for Li Chengqian is definitely not half false.

She even subtly persuaded Li Shimin not to send wrong signals to Li Tai.

"Within one year, the total number of casualties was less than 5000. Goguryeo, a powerful country in the past, was wiped out. Gao Ming made such a great contribution. I don't even know how to reward him."

Li Shimin is also in a good mood now.

Yang Guang's three campaigns against Goguryeo failed to win the opponent, but his son easily succeeded in dispatching.

In contrast, doesn't it seem that he is many times stronger than Yang Guang?
"The Turkic people are gone, Goguryeo is gone, and the royal family of Tuyuhun was imprisoned in Chang'an City. Looking around, I have no opponents in the Tang Dynasty.

This time, the people can finally live and work in peace, and His Majesty doesn't have to work so hard day and night. "

"Well, after Gao Ming comes back, I'm going to take him to study by my side for a period of time, and then I can also leave him in Chang'an City to supervise the country and go around Jiangnan Road."

Li Shimin is not the kind of person who is willing to stay at home.

He really hoped to go to the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty to wander around and see what his country had become.

But it is very difficult to realize this wish.

Now there is finally hope.

……

"Damn it! It's really hateful! Why are the Goguryeo people so stupid? They put all their troops in Liaodong, and as a result, their old nests were easily taken over by them."

In Wei Wang's mansion, Li Tai was very annoyed and threw all the tea sets on the table to pieces.

"His Royal Highness, it is meaningless to talk about this now. What we have to do now is to figure out how to make His Royal Highness make mistakes. Only when he keeps making mistakes will His Majesty consider setting up another prince. Otherwise, relying on this Thanks to one effort, the position of His Royal Highness is completely secured."

Although Du Chuke said this very bluntly.

But as the head of Wei Wangfu, his life has been completely tied to Li Tai, so he naturally hopes that he can become the prime minister one day.

This wish can only be realized if Li Tai becomes the emperor.

"With Qin Xiedao at his side to make suggestions, how could he make a mistake? If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Qin Xiedao to learn from him."

Li Tai now deeply felt Qin Xiedao's influence on Datang.

Not to mention the large-scale Weishui New City, there are not many workshops in Chang'an City that can not be related to the Qin family.

As for Li Shimin, he trusted Qin Xiedao even more.

If it weren't for Qin Xiedao's resemblance to Qin Qiong, he would have wondered if this was his father's illegitimate son.

"The Qin family has developed very fast in the past few years, but it has also offended many people. If we win over the Qin family's opponents, we may get unexpected results."

Du Chuke couldn't find any better way now, so he could only advise Li Tai in this way.

"Qin Xiedao offended all the big families, but these people only have family but no country in their eyes, how can they be so easy to win over so easily."

Li Tai's mind is still clear, and he knows that what Du Chuke said is not so easy.

"If you don't give it a try, how will you know if it will succeed? At worst, you can just make some promises and tear them up when the time comes."
