Hou Jing burned, killed and looted in the Goguryeo plain area, kidnapped nearly five people, and slaughtered more than 30 people. All the cities built in Goguryeo were destroyed with gunpowder, and all the buildings in the city were destroyed.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty... woo woo woo woo woo!"

Goguryeo's king "Gao An" passed away in grief and despair.

The fourth Mingjun of Goguryeo, who led the Goguryeo people to conquer Wuji's hero, died of depression in the fiasco.

It took more than 100 years for Goguryeo to rise from a small tribe with only 1000 people to become a powerful country in the north with a population of over one million.

Since Gaoxingan had no heirs, the Goguryeo throne passed to Gaobaoyan's younger brother Gao Baoyan.

Since the father did not succeed the son, there was turmoil in the succession of the Goguryeo throne, and Go Bo-yeon's brothers also had the right to inherit.

An internal struggle in Goguryeo is about to begin, and the state of Yan will thus gain peace in the northern border.

The plains were occupied by the Buyeo and Wuji people who returned to the country, and Koguryo now has only mountains, hills and swamps.

However, the matter did not end here. Gao Huan was regrouping and mobilizing troops, horses, money and food. It seemed that he was preparing to attack Guanzhong again.

When the two were fighting to death, Xiao Yan of the Liang Kingdom in the south did not take the opportunity to make a northern expedition. Instead, he built Buddhist temples in the country, and brought the aristocratic families to immerse himself in Buddhist practice every day.

It's really "480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the mist and rain."
