The heavens start from saving Daming

After fleeing back to Pyongyang, Yuan Gai Suwen immediately supported Gao Jianwu's nephew Gao Zang as the new king.

After that, it was mopping up the ground as soldiers, frantically recruiting men, women, old and young in Goguryeo, and at the same time robbing them of all their food and goods.

When it came to the beginning of spring, there was no intention of doing spring plowing at all. After all, even Goguryeo was gone after the defeat, so what kind of spring plowing was there.

Through almost frenzied squeezing and plundering, Yuan Gai Suwen assembled an army of several 10 people in a short period of time.

At the same time, sufficient food, grass and military resources were gathered to supply these so-called large armies for several months.

Yuan Gai Suwen also knew that Tang Jun had a secret weapon called gunpowder, which was not too secret, after all, there were fireworks in Goguryeo.

It's a pity that there is no time now, otherwise Yuan Gai Suwen would definitely research the secrets of this thing crazily.

He knew that even the solid city defenses of Anshi City couldn't withstand it, and naturally Pyongyang City couldn't do it either.

So he distributed the soldiers and horses along the mountain along the way from Yalushui to Pyongyang City.

These are stationed on mountains, in narrow valleys, and in simple pass cities.

Yuan Gai Suwen gave very simple orders to the defenders behind each line of defense, kill whoever comes over.

Tang Jun crossed the Yalu River and headed south. Almost every hill and every mountain road was blocked. Those men, women, old and children who came over threw stones, logs, dirt, and everything they could find from the mountains.

These Goguryeos caused even more trouble than their regular army.

Li Jing made a suggestion to Li Er to take the water and cross the sea to Pyongyang City.

If you take the water route, you can avoid the continuous mountains in the north and land directly on the west coast plain to attack Huanglong.

But this seemingly correct suggestion was rejected by Li Er without hesitation.

The reason for the refusal was simple, he was here to destroy the country.

Simply capturing the city of Pyongyang is not a big success. In the hundreds of years of Goguryeo's history, the capital has been captured many times, but Goguryeo has always been struggling to survive.

Li Er knew very well that if he wanted to destroy the country of Goguryeo, he had to arrange for the disposal of all the people on this land, otherwise it would be useless even if the entire territory of Goguryeo was occupied.

In history, after Li Zhi conquered Goguryeo, he moved all the local people to the middle land, and there was no chance of restoring his country after destroying it.

Li Er's plan is similar, but the method is more drastic.

The Tang army began to fight for each mountain road one by one.

They got off their horses, put on armor, held weapons and held up shields, and climbed up the hill step by step.

Using armor and shields to resist falling stones, dodging thick rolling logs, and climbing hard with both hands and feet, until they rushed into the formation of the Goguryeo people and killed them all.

Some Goguryeo people resisted fiercely, and often fought to the last person.

There are also Goguryeo people who are afraid, and when they can't bear it, they will turn around and run away.

Various Tang armies took turns to fight, and the round after round of fighting broke through the defense line of the Goguryeo people.

When they fight to the top, Yuchi Jingde, Xue Wanche, Xue Rengui and others will even rush to the battle in person.

Yuan Gai Suwen used the terrain advantage to the limit, and also used the human resources to the limit.

While inflicting considerable losses on the Tang army and prolonging the time limit for the Tang army's attack, Goguryeo's population is also losing at a very high rate.

The time has come to May, and this year's spring plowing in Goguryeo has already been missed. Even if the Tang army withdraws its troops now, Goguryeo will inevitably suffer from famine after the autumn harvest, and more than half of the people will starve to death.

But Li Er didn't care about Tang Jun's loss at all, and still arranged for each department to attack round after round.

At the end of May, Tang Jun, who was caught in a deadly battle, finally broke through the mountain defense line and approached Pyongyang City.

The countless fights along the way, how many Goguryeo people were wiped out, even Tang Jun himself could not count.

After all, according to the military laws of the Tang army, ordinary people are not counted as military exploits.

Yuan Gai Suwen had already made his final decision after learning the news of Gao Jianwu's death in battle.

He, Gao Jianwu, could die for Goguryeo, and Yuan Gai Suwen naturally has this awareness.

Over the past few months, the entire city of Pyongyang and its surrounding areas have been constructed into a spiked fortress at the expense of people and material resources.

The last strength of Goguryeo was concentrated near the city of Pyongyang.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians blocked the inside and outside of Pyongyang.

After the Tang army besieged the city, they began to attack the city.

First, the strongholds around Pyongyang City were removed one by one, and then the defense outside the city was eradicated.

Fighting back and forth on both sides, countless corpses were thrown into the trench.

Jingui's war horses were regarded as livestock that could be discarded at any time, and they dragged the antler stakes desperately with ropes against the rain of arrows.

The strong men of the Tang army waved their hammers and smashed the walls of sheep and horses layer by layer.

Every time you move forward, you will pay a small price.

After all, Tang Jun's armor couldn't deal with the pits that suddenly appeared under his feet, nor could it hold the kerosene thrown by the Goguryeo people, and it couldn't stop the bed crossbow shot from the city wall, etc.

The most exaggerated one was that the Tang army was fighting fiercely with the defenders in a trench. The long-planned Goguryeo people directly filled the entire zhang-deep trench with water, submerging themselves and the Tang army.

It can be said that the Goguryeo people have exhausted all conceivable methods.

Faced with the continuous loss of the Tang army, Li Er was as unmoved as a piece of wood. He just kept sending soldiers up to clear the defensive facilities outside the city.

At his level, a commander has already been mentally prepared for losses on the battlefield.

When he was emperor, he cherished the people under his command, because everyone had to pay him taxes.

But on the battlefield, the sergeants are just the numbers for him to win the war.

After Tang Jun paid the loss of thousands of people, he finally broke through a passage leading to the city.

Under the frenzied shouting and attack of the defenders on the top of the city, a Nuo Da shield car wrapped in three layers of thick iron was pushed towards the city wall little by little under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes.

The defenders desperately used all kinds of equipment to resist, and the bed crossbow shot aggressively, making a dull sound when it landed on the shield car, but unfortunately they couldn't shoot through.

The stones thrown by the trebuchet were smashed on the ceiling, but they still couldn't break through.

As the shield car got closer to the city wall, the defenders who gradually fell into madness even sent a death squad to rush forward desperately to stop the shield car.

Then Tang Jun's covering troops would try their best to stop them. In the midst of the tragic killing, the shield chariot finally approached the city wall.

As the dead soldiers driving the shield car fled frantically, the defenders on the top of the city also began to flee.

However, the Koguryo daredevils rushed to the shield chariot desperately, but the fuse had already burned into the thick wall, and they didn't even know how to extinguish it.

Many daredevils pushed the shield chariot desperately, trying to push the shield chariot away from the city wall.

But the hoe of the shield cart had been put down, and it was so heavy that it could be easily pushed away.

With a thunderbolt from the blue, all the efforts of the defenders were wiped out.

Soldiers of the Tang army rushed into the city, but were surprised to find that the city had already been transformed into a war fortress.

The intersection was sealed off, the courtyard walls were reinforced, and there were traps and trenches everywhere on the ground. Countless Goguryeo people hid in them holding various weapons, farm tools and even wooden guns.

For this kind of scene, Li Er has only one order, and that is to fight!

Li Yunze is building a temporary pier on the shore not far from Pyongyang, and the logistics transportation line will be mainly transported by sea.

Li Er's envoy found him and asked him how to best attack this complicated environment.

"I brought so much gunpowder here, so I can't bring it back?"

Li Yunze said slowly, "Don't go on the streets, just use gunpowder to clear the way and blow up the courtyard walls and houses along the way. When you encounter places that cannot be attacked, just use gunpowder to blow them up. After capturing so many prisoners, arrange to fill ditches and bury pits to transport them." Soil. Use all the strength in your hand, this
There is nothing to save at this time. "

After Li Yunze gave his opinion, he no longer paid attention to the battle in the city, and even didn't want to go there, so he arranged logistics on the coast to do his own job well.

Until half a month later, Li Yunze, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the cheers outside.

Only after I came out did I know that the Tang army had finally captured Pyongyang.

"Did Yuan Gai Suwen catch it?"

"He committed suicide. First he killed his family and the king of Goguryeo, and then he committed suicide."

Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief, the battle was finally over.

There are no decent opponents around Datang, and he doesn't need to be a logistics manager anymore.

Baekje had been destroyed by Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui before Goguryeo, and Li Er re-divided the four counties of the recovered Han Dynasty into prefectures.

Immediately, the people of Goguryeo and Baekje all over the country migrated to the middle land, and then migrated from the middle land.

After being busy until the autumn harvest, the army began to return in batches.

Li Yunze, who was in charge of cleaning up the logistics, waited until the beginning of winter before returning to Lijiazhuang.

Back home, Princess Changle and Wu Meiniang greeted each other with their children in their arms.

"Will there be another war in the future?"

"There will definitely be wars." Li Yunze teased the child, stretching his arms to hug the left and right sides, "But I won't go again, and I will stay at home with you from now on."

The Tang army's foreign wars did not stop. In addition to the round-robin battles with Tubo that consumed its national power all year round, the main targets were the two rivers and the vast prairie in the northwest.

In the 20th year of Zhenguan, the king of Wu, Li Ke, came out of the town to the remote Ukrainian black land.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Yun, king of Jiang, left Lianghe town.

In the 29th year of Zhenguan, Li Zhen, king of Yue, left Tianzhu.

In the 34th year of Zhenguan, Ji Wang Li Shen left Persia.

Zhenguan
With the blessing of Li Yunze and Sun Simiao's medical skills, he did not fall into the vicious circle of seeking longevity in his later years, and randomly took those longevity medicines containing a lot of heavy metals.

Li Er avoided dying at the age of 50, but lived a long time.

Until the 47th year of Zhenguan, Li Er, who was over [-] years old, was finally terminally ill. He lay on his sickbed and met with important ministers to arrange funeral affairs.

"You are indeed a fairy."

Li Er, who had arranged for Minister Gu Ming, had a private interview with Li Yunze, who had lived in seclusion for many years.

Looking at his face that has hardly changed over the years, Li Er squeezed out a smile, "Can I seek longevity?"

Li Yunze shook his head calmly, "You are not a pervert, so you cannot live forever."

The light in Li Er's expectant eyes obviously dimmed.

After a long silence, Li Er asked again, "Will you stay to assist the prince?"

"Your Majesty has personally taught the prince for 30 years, and I no longer need my assistance."

Li Er sighed lightly, "It's a great fortune for me to have Zihou's help. It's a great fortune for Datang to have Zihou's help~~~"

Seeing Li Er whose expression was rapidly decaying, Li Yunze cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, have a good journey."

In the 47th year of Zhenguan, the hero of the generation, Tian Khan, the Tang emperor Li Shimin, who conquered the largest territory in the world, died of illness in Hanfeng Palace, and was buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum with his eldest grandson Queen who lived in it many years ago.

The new emperor Li Zhi came to the throne, and he was honored with the posthumous title of Emperor Daguangxiao, the great sage of civil and military affairs, and the temple name of Emperor Taizong Wen.

It stands to reason that it should belong to Emperor Wu, but in Li Zhi's opinion, literature sounds better than martial arts.

The Tang Dynasty entered the era of Li Zhi, and the veterans of Zhenguan gradually withered.

After sending Li Er to Zhaoling, Li Yunze returned to Li Family Manor and never left the house behind closed doors.

Until Princess Changle and Wu Meiniang died, Li Yunze, honored as the Living God of the Tang Dynasty, disappeared without a trace after arranging Wu Meiniang's funeral.

In the world of Tang Dynasty, only his legends and stories remain from then on.
