After escorting Gao Jianwu back to Pyongyang, Li Chongjiu refused his subordinates to hold a celebration banquet in Pyongyang City. He believed that the time was not the time.

While Li Chongji sent someone to transport the money and grain from the treasury onto the ship, he was also careful to guard against the sneak attack of the Yizhi Wende of the Shui River.

Li Chongjiu discussed with the generals how to deal with the matter of Goguryeo. Zhang Xuansu said first: "Our army crossed the sea to conquer Pyongyang and seized a large amount of money and silk in the treasury. This is a great profit, and it is worth the trip. However, I think it is impossible to defeat Goguryeo with such a battle."

Xue Wanche said: "I was impressed by the fierce style of Goguryeo's people in the past few days when they attacked Pyongyang. No wonder Goguryeo has been able to defeat the various tribes of Khitan in recent years and dominate the world. Although we have defeated Goguryeo and captured its king, our tribe will choose another king. At that time, maybe the hatred for our Da Zhao will be deeper."

Li Chongjiu pondered for a while and asked Gao Tao on the side: "You are in Goguryeo, and you might as well analyze it if you understand the situation."

Gao Tao is still dressed as a monk. Although Li Chongjiu now adds him as an infantry captain, he will make great contributions to the capture of Dacheng Mountain City this time. It is no need to mention the promotion in the future, but he still does not take off his monk's robe.

Gao Tao said: "After Gao Jianwu was captured, the Goguryeo people would definitely re-elect the throne of the country. The throne of the state was always born by the Guilou tribe. The Guilou tribe was originally descended from Gao**, the founding throne of Goguryeo. It is said that there was a saying in the myth of the founding of Goguryeo that Gao** was a prince and fled to the capital. Later, he defeated Feiliu Kingdom and replaced him as the royal family of Goguryeo. The original people of the Feiliu Kingdom were the Fifth Tribe today."

"After Gao** was established, he had an agreement with the five tribes. The Guilou tribe intermarried with the Juenu tribe for generations and took it as the descendant tribe. This was used to consolidate his status and agreed that he would not be the king of the country unless he was the Guilou tribe. Although Goguryeo repeatedly destroyed the country for hundreds of years, the five tribes have always followed this, so it is quite possible for the Guilou tribe to choose another person from the descendants of Gao** to become the king of the country."

"Is it possible for Yuan Gaisuwen to replace him?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help asking.

After hearing Zhou Zhou's question, Xue Wanche said: "Why does the county magistrate Zhou seem to be quite afraid of this person?"

Zhou Zhou said: "This man guards the northern border of Goguryeo, has a high prestige and is highly respected. He is a powerful minister and is also the biggest opponent of our Liaodong County in the future."

Gao Tao said, "I heard that Yuan Gaisuwen came from the Shunnu tribe. In Goguryeo, the Shunnu tribe was always noble. When the country was established, although the Guilou tribe was the king's clan, it was under the Shunnu tribe. For example, Goguryeo was the people of the Shunnu tribe for generations, but Yizhi Wende suddenly broke the tacit understanding. But no matter how arrogant Yuan Gaisuwen was, he would not dare to destroy the agreement that Feng Gao was the lord of Goguryeo after Feng Gao**, otherwise he would be attacked by the other four tribes."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I understand. I immediately picked up a few people from the ministers captured by Goguryeo, let them cross the water and tell Eji Wende what I mean. We can put a man in the Goguryeo royal family and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Pyongyang City, but we must return all the Sui army prisoners stranded in Goguryeo to our country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Tao couldn't help but look grateful.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "This is what I should do. No need to thank you."

After pausing, Li Chongji said, "It is good to destroy the country of Goguryeo, and I am also worried about giving Silla and Baekje a great opportunity. Goguryeo has Yoon Gaisuwen. It should be able to hold on for a while. We can negotiate secretly with Yoon Gaisuwen to support him in the throne, but we want him to ced the land near the Liaoshui River. Otherwise, he dares to lead his army back to Pyongyang, and we will attack Liaodong and make him unable to escape."

"Yun Gaisuwen is willing to be obedient and really returns to his country to compete for the throne, so we can counter the Martin and Khitan tribes under his command, so that they can surrender to us. Step by step, our attack on Goguryeo was just to seek wealth, but it was beyond my expectations to be able to capture Gao Jianwu. This is thanks to Gao Tao, you are."

"I don't dare." Gao Tao quickly closed his words.

Yizhi Wende and Li Chongjiu agreed that the conditions were made, and King Rongliu's nephew Gao Baozang was released. In addition, Li Chongjiu also agreed that in addition to Gao Baozang, dozens of important officials from all the officials of Goguryeo were also released back after their family paid a ransom.

In addition, the people of Pyongyang City and Goguryeo prisoners were also released safely. Although some people suggested that Li Chongjiu killed all these Goguryeo prisoners and also erected a Jingguan under Pyongyang City as a revenge for the killing of Goguryeo prisoners back then.

On three days, Li Chongjiu escorted Gao Jianwu hundreds of Goguryeo royal families to board the warships. The warships included the Goguryeo treasury, 500,000 stones of grain and rice, as well as countless gold, silver and jewelry looted from the mountain city of Dacheng.

Gao Jianwu and his wife looked back at Pyongyang City, and they cried loudly, and the ministers and royal family members were also crying. When they left Pyongyang, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to their hometown in their lifetime. This is the fate of becoming a minister.

There were nearly 10,000 Sui army prisoners who were released from their country and released to their country. They thought they could not return to their hometowns in their lifetime, but they did not expect that they would go back one day to see their relatives again. At this moment, they were all very sad. Many of them were still young when they were fighting, but now they were gray in their temples when they returned home.

At this moment, they were more sad and crying with joy, which was very complicated. However, their sad faces gradually faded the Zhao soldiers who returned to the triumphant battle beside them.

This time, he captured Pyongyang and returned triumphantly. The shame of the Great Sui Dynasty's four attacks on Goguryeo was wiped out today, and the morale of the Zhao army soldiers was high.

The fire-red flags were roaring along the way, the war horses were running back and forth, the guns and swords were like forests, and the victorious army was as strong as the rainbow, and the soldiers sang the song of victory with their chests and heads held high.

Have you seen that the Han army is over, and the weak leader is the enemy who asks for a long tassel;

Haven't you seen Ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry in the Jueyu urged the battle against the clouds!

A man should be in danger, so how can he let the Confucian Guan lose his life?

Moreover, the country is in danger and the feathered edicts are endless!

This poem was made up by Li Chongjiu, who wrote later generations. When he was looking for the Imperial College, he wrote it to those scholars to inspire them to serve the country. Unexpectedly, this poem was stoked by someone to compose a music as a military song. From then on, it replaced the song of the big horn and was sung by the soldiers in the Zhao army.

At this moment, when the enemy country was defeated and the enemy chiefs were captured, they sang this song, and they were singing with a unique look. The soldiers walked and sang, singing constantly, and the team burst into cheers from beginning to end from time to time.

The Sui army looked at these soldiers along the way. They were very young when they were conquering Goguryeo. However, they seemed more energetic and confident. Such an army was definitely the momentum that a victorious army had.
