When Li Min saw the tragic situation in Anshi City opposite, he felt his heart bleed. At the same time, he scolded Li Ji for being a prodigal. He only used black gunpowder to achieve such an effect. God knows how much gunpowder they buried underground? All of this costs money.

Ah! I really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, but I was worried about wasting gunpowder when I built a mortar.

Li Ji, who commanded the army to attack, was actually a little confused. The tunnel had been dug a few days ago, but at that time he was worried that the ice on the city wall had not melted, so he used more gunpowder, but he did not expect this.

The weather was getting warmer too fast, and there was not much ice left on the city wall. As a result, the explosion was far more effective than I originally expected.

The battle went much smoother than everyone expected. The gunpowder not only collapsed the city wall, but also killed the city lord Yang Wanchun on the spot. Thousands of defenders were injured and killed, and nearly half of Anshi City's armed forces were killed in one fell swoop.

All were wiped out, and the remaining ones guarded

The Tang army was also leaderless. When the Tang army attacked the city, except for a few who resisted and were killed, most of them were demoralized by the explosion in Nancheng and did not dare to resist the Tang army. Therefore, it only took a few hours to defeat Anshi.

The city has been cleared.

"King Rongliu, how about you come with me to the city to calm the people?" After receiving the report, Li Shimin said to King Rongliu with a proud look on his face.

But King Yeongliu had a look of despair on his face. The Tang army was so sharp that even Yeon Gaesumun's army couldn't capture Anshi City. They couldn't even defend it for several hours. In this way, who else in Goguryeo could do it?

Can it stop the Tang Dynasty's devouring power? In fact, there is no need to think about this question at all. There is only one answer, and that is no. The demise of Goguryeo is almost a foregone conclusion.

Thinking of this, King Yeongliu was despairing. His wife and ministers were all dead, and there was no hope of restoring the country. Now even the country that no longer belongs to him will be destroyed by foreign enemies, and even the name Goguryeo will become history.

As the last King of Goguryeo, he will also be recorded in the annals of history. He will be reviled and despised by countless people.

Li Shimin looked proud and asked King Rongliu to accompany him into the city. Firstly, he was showing off as a winner, and secondly, he wanted to use his identity to appease the people in the city. However, after he called him, King Rongliu looked like

He didn't hear anything and stood there motionless, so Li Shimin had to shout loudly again: "King Rongliu, accompany me into the city!"

This finally woke up the dazed King Rongliu. He raised his head, glanced at Li Shimin and the Tang Army soldiers with confused eyes, then showed a look of determination, turned around suddenly, and grabbed a Tang Army soldier from the waist.

He pulled out the horizontal knife with a "choking" sound.

Li Shimin was stunned when he saw the other party's actions. He was not worried about his own safety. Let alone the guards around him, even if he and the old Rongliu were duel, he could kill the other party within three moves. But Li Shimin

Xin was inexperienced and was startled by the opponent's actions. He quickly drew his knife to prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall, which would be detrimental to Li Shimin.

However, after King Rongliu drew out his sword, he did not rush towards Li Shimin without overestimating his own strength. Instead, he placed the sharp horizontal sword on his neck and smiled sadly at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, your Tang army is powerful, and we, Goguryeo,

The situation of defeat has been decided, but as the leader of the country, I, King Rongliu, will never surrender to outsiders!"

As King Rongliu spoke, he pushed hard with his arm and cut his throat with a sharp knife. Then a stream of hot blood spurted out and sprinkled on the land that had been occupied by the Tang army. Then the body fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a layer of blood.

The yellow mud. The last ruler of Goguryeo died in front of Li Shimin and Li Min, his father and son.

Everything happened so suddenly. No one thought that the leader of Goguryeo, who was driven out of Pyongyang in embarrassment by the Yuan clan, would be so strong-willed that he would rather die than surrender to the Tang army. Even Li Shimin didn't have time to stop him.

The surrounding Tang army officers and soldiers were even more shocked, including Li Min.

Li Shimin looked at the body of King Rongliu on the ground, his face turned green and red for a while. Once King Rongliu died, it would not be so easy to appease the subjects of Goguryeo in the future, and even future wars would be affected. Thinking of this

Here, Li Shimin was angry with King Rongliu, but now that everyone was dead, he had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't whip the corpse in front of so many people, right?

Li Min also noticed something strange about Li Shimin and was afraid that he would make some unwise move, so he stepped forward and said: "Father! Although King Rongliu is ignorant of current affairs, he is still the leader of a country. Now that he is dead, as a sign of my great

Tang Renyi should be buried with the honors of a king!"

Although Li Shimin was extremely angry, he also knew the seriousness. After listening to Li Min's words, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Well, Liu Lang is right. Come, please take care of King Rongliu's body and bury it tomorrow.

Promise to the outside world that Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, colluded with the Yuan family and killed King Rongliu. We, the benevolent and righteous army of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely capture Pyongyang City and seize the Yuan family to avenge King Rongliu!"

Li Shimin is worthy of being the king of a country. He immediately pushed the death of King Rongliu to Yang Wanchun and the Yuan family as agreed in Chang'an City, and took up the banner of revenge for King Rongliu. He suddenly stood at the highest level of morality.

Point. Although this reason is full of flaws, and there are many people who know the truth, as long as the officials of the Tang Dynasty insist that this is the fact, and even record it in the history books, it is estimated that many years later, Li Shimin's words will become a historical fact recognized by countless people.

Li Min next to him also felt speechless for a while, thinking that history is indeed a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Only the winners have always written history. As for the losers, they are just characters in the novels written by the winners. They can make up whatever they want.

, everything depends on the needs and mood of the winner.

In the Battle of Anshi City, there was no large-scale battle at all, and not many people were injured. Therefore, Li Min, the medical officer, was very free, guiding thousands of medical soldiers to take turns to practice. What, if there are not enough wounded, then

Wouldn't it be enough to open the wound and treat it again?

After tossing the wounded, Li Min accompanied Li Shimin to appease the people in the city. Although there were many Han people in Anshi, they had been under the rule of Goguryeo for many years and had no sense of identification with the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the original city lord Yang Wanchun, among the people,

The Tang Dynasty had a high prestige, so when the army first entered the city, they attacked the Tang army.

Regarding this kind of thing, Li Shimin decisively ordered to suppress it with cruel methods, and then used methods such as distributing food to appease him. With the combination of kindness and power, he finally suppressed the unrest in the city. At this time, Li Min had been waiting for a long time.

People finally arrived in Anshi City.

"What? Isn't Jiulang always with you? Why are you asking about me, Liulang?" Li Daozong asked with a surprised look on his face when he heard Li Min asking him about Li Yong's whereabouts. He went there a few days ago

He welcomed Li Shimin, but was later sent to the rear to escort a large amount of grain and grass. He was unable to catch up with the battle of Anshi City and did not come back until today. However, as soon as he came back, Li Min immediately came to ask for his help.

"Uncle Emperor, don't scare me. Where else can Jiulang go besides being here with you?" When Li Min heard Li Daozong's words, there was a buzz in his head, and he was dumbfounded. If Li Min

Yong is not here with Li Daozong, so where did he go?

"Liu Lang, what's going on? Did something happen to Jiulang?" Li Daozong asked seriously. Judging from Li Min's words and deeds, something must have happened to Li Yong. His relationship with Li Xiaogong

Best of all, he is Li Yong's elder. He usually treats him as his son when he is beaten and scolded. If something happens now, he has no way to explain it to Li Xiaogong.

It seems that Li Daozong has really never seen Li Yong. Now Li Min is really panicking. He heard Su Dingfang say that after Li Yong said goodbye to them, he went north to find Li Daozong alone, but now Li Daozong has not seen him again.

At that time, countless troops were defeated in Liaodong. If anything happened to Li Yong, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Seeing Li Min's distraught appearance, Li Daozong became even more anxious and asked Li Yong what happened. Li Min had no choice but to tell what happened to Li Yong, but after hearing this, Li Daozong was both happy and worried.

.

Fortunately, the clan brother Li Xiaogong finally has a good son. Although he does things a little thoughtlessly, his ambition is very rare. But now this ambitious nephew does not know whether he will live or die, which makes him very worried.

.

There was no news about Li Yong, which made both Li Min and Li Daozong very anxious. They thought about it, but they couldn't do anything. In the end, they had to go to Li Shimin together and told him the matter, hoping to get him to give an order and send someone.

Searching everywhere, to put it bluntly, even if the person is dead, at least the body must be found.

Hearing that Li Xiaogong's son was missing, Li Shimin naturally took it very seriously. He first gave Li Min a hard scolding, and then sent people to search for him. However, it has been so long, and this ghost place in Liaodong is so vast and sparsely populated.

Being alone is easier said than done, so I searched for several days and couldn't find even a single person.

Although Li Yong's identity was very important, Li Shimin could not delay the army's journey just because of him. After ordering the garrison to continue searching, the 100,000 Tang army rose up again, swept all the way east, and captured Goguryeo's last territory in Liaodong.

After establishing a stronghold in Wugu City, the army crossed the Yalu River majestically, and officially entered the Korean Peninsula in later generations.

At the same time, Silla and Baekje, which had been patient a year ago, finally showed their fangs. After asking Li Shimin for instructions, the two countries marched separately and captured the vast territory east of Pyongyang City in one fell swoop. At this time, the Tang army also marched all the way.

Kaige quickly reached the gates of Pyongyang. It can be said that under the attack of the Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo was on the verge of national subjugation.

It's just that Li Min was very unhappy with the two small countries of Silla and Baekje. The Tang Dynasty finally beat Goguryeo half to death, but they came out to take a bite of the fat and occupied the land east of Pyongyang.

Go, this is simply an open robbery! But he can't spare his hands now. When the war on Goguryeo's side is determined, he will have plenty of means to deal with them!
