Chapter 665 Fishing in troubled waters

If you achieve great things in one sentence, you will not plan to be in line with Gao Jianwu's wishes.

Since his brother ascended the throne, there have been many controversies. The ministers of Goguryeo have always compared him with his brother. The former King of Goguryeo had great achievements in repelling the attacks of the Sui Dynasty four times, but he was unknown.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, as a powerful minister in Goguryeo, he was also disrespectful to Lu Yuan Taizuo. Yuan Taizuo had a strong power, and his men experienced several battles to conquer Liao, and he tempered a team of elite troops from hundreds of battles. His troops under him were armed with 30,000 soldiers, which was the strongest combat power among the five Goguryeo tribes. This gave Yuan Taizuo a great confidence. In addition, Goguryeo had always had a serious confrontation between the north and the south. When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yuan Taizuo and other northern generals suggested taking this opportunity to attack the Liao River and invading the Han territory. However, the southern faction represented by Gao Jianwu and other royal power advocated to take advantage of the defeat of the Sui Dynasty to negotiate peace with him.

The end result was that Goguryeo and Sui sides had a peace talk. Yuan Taizuo was very dissatisfied with this and threatened to give Gao Jianwu a good look. Of course, Gao Jianwu was not a good-for-nothing lamp. At that time, Yuan Taizuo was old and had always intentionally passed the position of Dalu to his son Yuan Gaisuwen.

However, Gao Jianwu interfered and joined forces with a group of ministers to oppose it, and finally passed the position of Da Ge Lu to Yizhi Wende. Yuan Taizuo died of illness, Da Ge Lu was still under the control of Yizhi Wende and did not pass it to his son. As a result, after Yuan Taizuo died of illness, the confrontation between Goguryeo and the south became more serious. His son Yuan Gaisuwen has since gained troops and does not take Gao Jianwu seriously.

Gao Jianwu heard what his close minister said, and wanted a big victory to establish his prestige in Goguryeo. So he threw the jade on his waist on the ground and said to the left and right ministers: "I have made up my mind. Tonight, lead two thousand people to attack the Zhao army at night, and the rest will guard the city for me and have no objection."

The jade pendant was broken on the ground, showing Gao Jianwu's determination. Everyone agreed at the moment.

That night, Gao Jianwu's two thousand Goguryeo elite soldiers rode down the mountain from Dachengshan City in the night. The other three thousand men guarded the key points of the mountain city. You should know that the six peaks of Dachengshan Mountain are all surrounded by city walls, which is the most difficult and dangerous. Three thousand men guarded this city.

Although Gao Jianwu was eager to win, he was not a reckless person.

But it was said that two thousand Goguryeo, who had gone down the mountain to attack, contacted the inner responders in the city and attacked that night. The soldiers had just arrived at the city gate when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves. It turned out that the cavalry who had been patrolling outside the city was discovered by Li Chongjiu.

The horn sounded at the first moment. The sound of the horn sounded throughout the night. There were countless torches on the walls of Pyongyang City, and the soldiers of Zhao rushed to the top of the city to guard the city immediately.

At this time, the inner respondent of Goguryeo in the city was about to set fires everywhere, but at this time the sound of the ox horn, the soldiers of the Zhao army patrol the city were dispatched, and these inner respondents were caught off guard, and most of them were captured on the spot. Li Chongjiu climbed the city tower, but saw the torches in the north of the city, and two thousand people attacked Goguryeo at night. They were about to attack the city, but when the matter was exposed, they immediately retreated.

Seeing this, Li Chongjiu laughed and said to Zhang Xuansu on the side: "It turns out that the Goguryeo people are going to use their old tricks again and attack Pyongyang City at night, but they didn't expect that I was waiting for him."

Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo people are also very cautious. The ones who sent the siege are just small groups of people."

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

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

The defenders at the top of the Nanmen City heard that their troops had returned, so they immediately opened the city gate and let them go. At this time, the sound of killing suddenly appeared beside the Nanmen City. It turned out that Zhao army had laid ambushes at the Nanmen City.

The Goguryeo soldiers were shocked and retreated into the city while fighting.

Half a fan was opened in the south gate of Dacheng Mountain City, and Gao Tao and others led hundreds of Sui soldiers to pretend to be Goguryeo soldiers, and they also wanted to get into the city.

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

Gao Tao and others strode into the city gate, and hundreds of soldiers followed the Goguryeo soldiers through the south gate. After everyone entered the city gate, Gao Tao and others winked at the left and right people. At that moment, dozens of people followed him to snatch the city gate and came to the horse road.

Several Goguryeo soldiers guarded the horse road. Seeing Gao Tao and others coming up and cursed, "Are you blind? In that direction, what are you doing to go to the city?"

"Sorry, sorry." Gao Tao and others smiled all over their faces. While apologizing, they answered in Goguryeo, but they still walked up to the city road. Seeing this, the other party changed their expression and was about to shout, but Gao Tao took advantage of the opportunity to step forward, pulled the other party closer, took out a knife in his hand and poked it into the other party's throat.

Blood splattered Gao Tao's body. When he took action, the soldiers under his command changed into a ferocious look, turned their faces and drew their swords and slashed them. The same was true on the gateway below, and the soldiers of Zhao all turned their faces and drew their swords to kill the Goguryeo soldiers beside him.

"Kill Goguryeo dog!"

Hundreds of soldiers tied white towels on their arms and then shouted to the sky.

Gao Jianwu, who was watching the battle in the city, heard this Chinese language and asked in a hurry: "What's going on?"

As soon as the words were finished, the fighting sounded loudly in front of him. In the fire, countless shadows were supposed to be on the city wall, drawing their swords to fight each other. The city was in chaos, and the ministers of Goguryeo were panicked at this moment.

Soon the sound of horse hooves rolled up, and the Zhao army cavalry rushed into the city under the city, unimpeded.

When Gao Jianwu saw this scene, he suddenly felt weak all over.

"King! King!"

A blood-stained general climbed up the mountain with almost his hands and feet from the stone steps at the foot of the mountain. He told Gao Jianwu: "King, the general of the Mo is incompetent, so he let the Zhao army sneak into the city. Now the Zhao army pretended to be our soldiers and set fire to the fire in the city. The Mo is unable to stop and captured another city gate for the Zhao army."

Gao Jianwu said in a trembling voice: "This, how can this be done?"

The ministers on both sides beat their chests and stamped their feet, accusing each other of 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 that the Zhao army cannot attack. Immediately find trusted soldiers and close the door. None of them are allowed to be placed in. Do you understand? The safety of the queen and the royal family is important."
