I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Pyongyang City, as the Imperial Capital of Goguryeo, although Goguryeo is a small country, it is the most prosperous place in the entire Liaodong Peninsula. It’s a pity that Goguryeo nowadays is swayed by wind and rain and is in crisis, so the people seem to lose one’s head out of fear. There are no more busy scenes of people coming and going on the streets, and everything is not the same.

In the city, in a residence south of the city.

Gao Di is sitting in the study, closing his eyes and resting, quietly waiting for news.

He just returned to Pyongyang.

When Gao Di came back, he hid his whereabouts and never revealed the news. Once he reveals his whereabouts, it is very likely to be targeted by forces belonging to Yeon Gaesomun. So when he came back this time, he returned quietly.

As soon as Gao Di came back, he mobilized his own power, and he had already contacted a group of people through letters.

Now, he is waiting for these people to come.

While Gao Di waited for a short time, he heard a knock on the door outside the study, but the voice of his entourage came: “General, everyone has arrived in the hall. Waiting for you to go.”

God’s eyes opened and he got up and walked out. He left the study, and after a while, he was already in the hall.

In the hall, more than ten people gathered.

These more than ten people are all Great Clan in Pyongyang, and some are officials of the Imperial court. But even if you are an official, you are not in control of the real power, because the people who have the real power and belong to Yeon Gaesomun, are impossible with Gao Di. Those who had mastered real power and were loyal to Gao Jianwu had all been killed.

After Gao Di took his seat, he looked around at everyone and said, “Everyone, we have known each other for many years. So I won’t talk nonsense and waste time in circles. The reason why I invited you here I came here for the current situation. I don’t speak any secrets. I have already returned to Xia Country to work for His Majesty, the emperor of Xia Country. Now I come back to persuade you and follow me to submit to His Majesty. .”

hua!!

Everyone heard the words, they were all discuss spiritedly.

There are more discussions one by one.

Because Gao Di’s words are really shocking, no one has thought that Gao Di’s words are such shocking news.

Goguryeo’s royal family kin.

It turned into Xia Country.

It’s surprising.

Gao Di didn’t interrupt the people for the time being. He just waited quietly. After a long while, Gao Di saw that everyone was still discussing spiritedly, but he didn’t mean to stop at all, so he continued. “Everyone, you know the situation of Xia Country and Goguryeo today, as wise men. Xia Country is in an absolutely strong position, and Goguryeo’s strength is obviously insufficient. Especially after Yeon Gaesomun’s rebellion, Goguryeo’s strength is even stronger. Further weakening. It is impossible to compete against Xia Country.”

“Speaking of which, you have always stayed in Pyongyang, and you may not know the news from the front.”

“Many of you In my heart, I still think about this battle. Maybe it will be like the battle between Da Sui and Goguryeo. It will last for many years and will not end.”

“In the end, it will end with Goguryeo’s victory.”

“I’m telling you, it’s impossible.”

God continued with a determined look: “According to the news from the front line, the army led by Yeon Gaesomun, at first Datongjiang intends to block the army of Xia Country. Guess, what happened to this battle?”

All of them looked towards Gao Di.

A curious look.

“General Gao, don’t sell it, just say it. The news is blocked during this time, and many of us can’t go out to inquire about the news, so if you have news, just tell it.”

“Yes, tell me what’s going on.”

“General Gao, just talk about it. It’s not good to go around in circles like this. But you said it, just say it without going around in circles.”

……

An individual keeps talking.

They are not very clear about the battle on the front line for the time being. Because Yeon Gaesomun was fighting on the front line, but also blocked the news, so many people don’t know what the situation is.

Gao Di said: “Yeon Gaesomun has tens of thousands of troops. His plan is to use the moat of Datong River to resist the army of Xia Country. You know, Datong River is full of hundreds of zhang or so, such a river surface, It’s not easy for the Xia Country army to cross the river. The most important thing is that Yeon Gaesomun also deployed a lot of warships on the Datong River. Once the Xia Country army wants to build a pontoon to cross the river, it will be blocked immediately.”

“It stands to reason that this should be extremely safe, and there will be no setback. But in the end, Yeon Gaesomun’s army fled in embarrassment. Because the army of Xia Country arrived with artillery bombardment, even if it was Yeon Gaesomun’s army was also bombed on the south bank of the Datong River.”

“Furthermore, warships of Xia Country appeared on the river surface. Each warship was like a beast, majestic. Huge and raging. As soon as the dozens of warships of Xia Country appeared, all of Yeon Gaesomun’s warships were crushed and destroyed, and none of them existed. Xia Country used warships to carry soldiers across the river, and Yeon Gaesomun could only be I watched it, and couldn’t stop it, so I retreated.”

Gao Di said resolutely: “The first battle here in Datong River ended like this. After the war on Datong River was over, Yeon Gaesomun retreated. When I arrived at Daqing Pass, I intended to use Daqing Pass to resist. You are all aware of the situation at Daqing Pass. It is a barrier on the plane of my Pyongyang city. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is quite steep.”

They nodded their heads, and one by one was more curious about the victory or defeat of Daqing Pass.

Gao Di only got the news of Daqing Pass when he was near Pyongyang. He seemed more determined, and said: “But Daqing Pass was directly bombarded and collapsed by Emperor Xia, and the army entered. At Daqing Pass, the civilians and generals around Yeon Gaesomun, Qi Qi was beheaded, Yeon Gaesomun himself, only a few soldiers were left, and the losses were extremely tragic. Today’s Yeon Gaesomun is not as domineering as it used to be. Right now, we have enough. The strength of Yeon Gaesomun destroyed Yeon Gaesomun. This is our opportunity.”

When this remark was said, everyone was shocked.

All of them are in shock.

Daqing Pass was directly broken?

You must know that Daqing Pass is a barrier to the north of Pyongyang. It is the most critical location. It is extremely steep and easy to defend. But this area is easily broken.

Everyone feels shocked.

Gaudi saw the shocked faces one by one, his head held high, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a smile at the corner of his mouth, said solemnly: “Everyone, this is the end, what else do you have to hesitate?”

In the crowd, an older person opened the mouth and said:” General Gao, the old man is a problem. The emperor of Xia Country has already gone south to kill in Pyongyang, but the emperor of Xia Country has arranged for someone to spread the news that the entire Goguryeo land will be nationalized, and Xia Country agrees Arrangement. It means that our land will also be confiscated. You know, land is our lifeblood. Once the land is taken back, we will lose our foundation. Is this true?”

The others also looked towards Gao Di.

The strategy they care about most is about land. Once the land is taken away, the consequences will be disastrous. Without the land, that is the rootless Ping, and they may not be able to last.
