Chapter 396 Goguryeo Coup

Wang Xuan'er also stayed in the fishing village, lived with Qin Chang, and took over the task of taking care of the little girl from Li Fangchen.

Qin Chang was not resistant to Wang Xuan'er's arrival, but sometimes he was worried that the new elder sister would just snatch her best brother away.

In addition, Li Tai is the happiest person.

I went out to sea with Li Fangchen and savored the delicacies in the sea. This kind of free and indulgent taste has not been felt for a long time.

I have to say that Li Tai began to like a monotonous but not boring life by the sea.

The morning sun rises, the evening sun returns, and it is born by the sea and survives by the sea.

Relatively speaking, Chang'an is more noisy.

It has been mentioned before that Goguryeo handed over the artillery method to Shi Wei, and the condition proposed was to make Shi Wei hostile to the Tang Dynasty.

In the face of huge interests, Shi Wei did not hesitate, and soon gathered 20,000 people to head towards Hebei Road, Datang.

Li Shimin was furious and ordered Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Hebei Road.

As the initiator of this war, Goguryeo, who had already been undermined by Gao Jianwu, was completely lifted by Yoon Gaisuwen.

Three days later, Yuan Gaisuwen proclaimed himself king, followed by the news that Yuan Gaisuwen raised his troops to punish the Tang Dynasty.

Logically speaking, Gao Jianwu was the King of Rongliu established by the Tang Dynasty. Now that Gao Jianwu is dead, Yuan Gai Suwen, the verdict, has become the "master" of Goguryeo.

The 20,000 troops that Shi Wei had taken the lead were just a cover. Whether Shi Wei will continue to increase troops in the future, and Goguryeo's attitude is the most critical issue.

Li Xiaogong did not dare to hesitate and rushed to Yingzhou, Hebei Road, Liaocheng and other places to garrison.

Yuan Gaisuwen's advance did not disrupt Shi Wei's determination to attack the Tang Dynasty.

After speculation by the court officials, it can be confirmed that a few years ago, Goguryeo was under the control of Yoon Gassuwen.

The deal with Shi Wei was also promoted by Yeon Gassuwen.

Li Shimin rebuked and said angrily: "What a Yuan Gai Suwen, who uses Wei's hand to divert the attention of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can take advantage of the throne to seek rebellion. After he truly takes power, the Tang Dynasty will probably have no excuse to send troops to Goguryeo!"

In the same month, Goguryeo raised 50,000 troops, Yi and Wei joined forces to punish the Tang Dynasty.

The Shiwei army gathered three thousand meters outside Liaocheng, but the reinforcements from Goguryeo were not seen for a long time.

Li Xiaogong was unwilling to wait until the two met, so he immediately made a decision and beat Wei in the room first.

Thirty thousand to twenty thousand, no surprise, Shi Wei was defeated miserably.

Nine thousand captured people, and the rest had been turned into a handful of loess.

After fighting for seven days, I still didn't see any reinforcements from Goguryeo.

Curious, afraid of the secret spies' investigation, he found that Goguryeo had other plans.

With the power of artillery, Goguryeo took three cities in seven days, 50,000 troops swept across Silla, and Baekje was also defeated to a semi-disruption. It would take only a few days for the two countries to be annexed by Goguryeo.

He drove the wolf and swallowed the tiger, killed people with a knife, and even caught fish in troubled waters.

Goguryeo's wishful thinking this time was so wonderful that the Tang Dynasty was busy fighting with Shi Wei and never noticed Goguryeo's methods.

With the emergence of artillery and gunpowder, the speed of war has been accelerated countless times.

The Goguryeo, who was already strong in military power, not only disturbed the Tang Dynasty's sight, but also made Silla and Baekje lose their vigilance.

When everything is settled, everyone will be unable to help but applaud Yoon Gassuvin.

Silla was gone, Baekje also surrendered, and Yoon Gaisuwen's letter of nationality was sent to Chang'an, requesting to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Shiwei?

Who cares?

He lost 20,000 people and was slapped in the face by the Tang Dynasty. Although he obtained the secret cannon recipe, he completely angered the overlord.

The January period was overturned, and Goguryeo's territory was three times larger. If it weren't for the shipbuilding level, I was afraid that people would have sent across the ocean to plan the Japanese island at this moment.

Today, the eldest son of Goguryeo, the eldest son of Yuan Gaisuwen, came from Goguryeo to Chang'an City.

As a country of Goguryeo, which was deeply influenced by Han culture, she was very skilled in the etiquette and language of the Tang Dynasty.

"Dear Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan boy, on behalf of my father, Yuan Gaisuwen, I will say hello to you!"

On the third day after the boy from Yuan arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin summoned him to court.

Facing the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, the boy Yuan did not see any tension, but was polite and concise, which made people look very surprised.

If his identity had not been shown to have long been proved that he was not a Tang Dynasty person, I am afraid that just by judging his temperament, there would be no difference from the Tang Dynasty's noble family.

The man Yuan was very low-key. This time he came to the court for the order of Yuan Gaisuwen to ease the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so as not to send troops to conquer when the national strength of Goguryeo is unstable.

Li Shimin looked at the boy Yuan with interest, "Yuan Gaisuwen asked you to come to Chang'an, what's the matter?"

Yuan Gaisuwen sent a letter to the country and the treasures he brought from Goguryeo, saying respectfully: "May the friendship between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty last forever. My father hopes to receive the reward from His Majesty, and at the same time, Yuan's boy also hopes to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Let's not talk about marriage, why do I give Yuan Gai Suwen a reward? Don't he know that Gao Jianwu was the King Rongliu personally granted by the Tang Dynasty. He killed the Lord and took office. According to my Tang Dynasty law, he can send heavy troops to punish him!"

The boy Yuan had expected it and said calmly: "Your Majesty, what Gao Jianwu can do, my father Yuan Gaisuwen can do. What Gao Jianwu can't do, my father Yuan Gaisuwen can do. At this point, my minister will have a great gift to the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin became interested and couldn't help but say, "I want to know, what is the value of gifts you say?"

The boy Yuan nodded, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the eunuch in the court, asking the other party to present it to the saint.

After seeing this, Li Shimin was shocked, stood up and said in surprise: "Are you serious about this?"

All officials were surprised and curious about what was written in the letter.

The boy Yuan bowed and said, "Gougeryeo, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

This ceremony represents Goguryeo's surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was moved by a letter. The content of the letter was too surprising to him, and even made him unable to refuse. "I want to see the result. If this matter can be accomplished, I will allow him to have a throne of Guesuwen!"

"Yuan Boy is a surrogate father, thank you Your Majesty!"

What is the reason why Li Shimin was so concerned about it?

It is said that after the scattered court, Li Shimin summoned important officials to discuss matters in the Taiji Hall, and the most important thing was the contents of the letter.

It seems that all the court officials expressed support for this matter, except for being shocked. After all, if this matter really can be accomplished, it will be considered an invincible achievement!

Emperor Yang of Sui fought against Goguryeo three times, and suffered countless soldiers and generals. Goguryeo's policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and military strength were indeed not weak, which caused countless men of the Sui Dynasty to die in other countries.

Goguryeo even built three Jingguans to emphasize the fact that the Sui Dynasty was defeated by the three battles.

What is the meaning of the Three Jingguans?

Under each Beijing Temple, there are countless corpses of Chinese men buried, and every Beijing Temple is made up of Chinese men’s flesh and blood!

Now that Yuan Gai Suwen has taken office, the first way to ease relations with the Tang Dynasty is to dismantle Jingguan and send the corpses of Sui soldiers to the Tang Dynasty.

How could Li Shimin refuse to agree?

Welcoming back the corpse of ancestors is the obsession in Li Shimin's heart.

It should be noted that Li Yuan also served as a general and followed Emperor Yang of Sui to the East Expedition.

Li Yuan's resentment towards the defeat of the Sui Dynasty to Goguryeo even affected Li Shimin. After ascending the throne, Li Shimin thought that one day he could lead the army to personally fight.

What Emperor Yang of Sui could not do, I, Li Shimin, could do!

How can I avoid the credit I have delivered to my door now?

The soldiers who defeated others without fighting were defeated. Goguryeo obediently demolished Jingguan and sent them back to the bodies of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. If this was spread, Li Shimin would be admired by the world.

In addition, there is one more thing, that is, Goguryeo artillery.

If the Tang Dynasty had launched troops against Goguryeo, the outcome could not be determined.
