After Park Changsuk left, Yun Haiqing, who was hiding in the dark room, came out and said, "Are you sure that the king will come to Yuan's house like this?"
Yuan Gaisuwen sneered and said: "The Yuan family and the royal family have always been in peace. In addition, my father is dead. Gao Jianwu will definitely come after hearing the news."
Gao Jianwu was very timid. Yuan Taizuo's existence was like a big mountain. Now that the mountain is gone, how could he not come?
Yuan Haiqing said: "It's good that you have this confidence, but who are you going to push out to be a puppet?"
"I plan to make Gao Bian, the son of Gao Jianwu's younger brother Gao Dayang, king." Yuengai Suwen said.
"High burial?" Yuan Haiqing thought for a moment and said, "This is a very good candidate."
Gao Jianwu's younger brother Gao Dayang died a few years ago, leaving only one son.
Gao Bian was only twelve years old and had no foundation. It would be easy for him to become the king of Goguryeo.
"I'm injured, so I'll ask Second Grandpa to make some arrangements." Yuengai Suwen said.
Yuan Haiqing nodded and agreed.
If the Yuan family can really become a royal family, will Yuan Gaesumun be able to give his son a title of king after that?
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with fire.
…
Park Changsuk saw Yeon Taejo's body and confirmed that he was really dead. He quickly said goodbye and returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What a happy event, what a great happy event." Park Changsuk shouted before he even entered the hall.
Gao Jianwu looked at the panting Park Changshuo and asked: "Why are you so happy? Didn't I ask you to go to the Yuan family to ask why troops were sent to the city?"
"Your Majesty, Yuan Taizuo was assassinated and has died. Yuan Gaisuwen was seriously injured. The Yuan family sent troops into the city!" Park Changshuo said.
"What!"
Gao Jianwu's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Is Yuan Taizuo so easy to kill?
In addition to being in the palace, Yuan Taizuo also had a large number of guards when traveling, and the number was greater than that of the king of Goguryeo.
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. I saw Yuan Taizuo's body with my own eyes. There is no way it is false." Park Changshuo said very confidently.
As a military commander, he still knows the difference between a living person and a private person.
In addition, as the commander of the imperial guards, he could see Yuan Taizuo when he entered the palace. He knew Yuan Taizuo's appearance very clearly and could not pretend to be someone else.
"If that's true, that would be great." Gao Jianwu said with a smile.
Yuan Taizuo is dead, Yuan Gaisuwen is seriously injured, and the Yuan family will fall into civil strife soon, and then he will have the opportunity to destroy the Yuan family.
…
The Tang Dynasty did not know what happened in Goguryeo.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty's northern expedition army had set off again.
Ashina Sheer didn't know what method he used, but he really completed the reorganization of the descended soldiers in three days.
Those reduced soldiers are originally veterans, so it is not difficult to reorganize them.
The rare thing is how to inspire their morale and let them point weapons at their tribesmen.
Lin Xuan looked at the Turkic cavalry whose morale was high and did not look like they were surrendering. He was a little curious as to what method Ashina Sheer used to change them so much in just three days.
"Bi Guogong did not disappoint Gu. When Gu returns, he must ask his father for credit." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Your Highness would be better off not doing anything to ask for credit." Lin Xuan reminded him in a low voice.
For Li Chengqian's safety, Li Daozong transferred Lin Xuan's brave guards to protect Li Chengqian with Zhang Liang.
Lin Xuan naturally wanted to follow Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was silent for a while and said, "I understand."
If he asks for credit for Ashinasheer, Ashinasheer will be labeled as Li Chengqian, which is not a good thing for Ashinasheer.
Lin Xuan didn't think about this. He simply didn't want Li Chengqian to have too much contact with the Turks.
You must know that Li Chengqian was very fond of Turkic culture in history. He did not live in the big palace, but built tents in the East Palace to live in. Not only that, he also liked to wear Turkic clothes.
Lin Xuan felt that the reason why Li Chengqian was like this in history was not because he liked Turkic culture.
Compared with the culture of the Tang Dynasty, I don’t know how much the Turkic people’s culture is different.
The reason why Li Chengqian imitated the Turks was probably because he yearned for freedom.
Of course, all this is Lin Xuan's guess.
Li Shimin sent Li Chengqian to reward the army, which shows that Li Chengqian's current position is very stable.
If Li Chengqian had too much contact with Turks and fell in love with Turkic culture, no one would be able to stop him if he imitated the life of Turks after he ascended the throne.
Lin Xuan shuddered when he thought about Li Chengqian wearing Turkic clothes and sitting on the dragon chair in Tai Chi Palace.
The army marched for three days and passed several tribes. Those tribes had long been deserted, leaving only some broken tents and some corpses that had been chewed by animals with only bones left.
Li Daozong ordered the camp to be set up, and then summoned all the generals to come to the Chinese army camp to discuss matters.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See the Grand Steward!"
Everyone bowed and saluted.
Li Chengqian just said no courtesy and sat there without speaking.
"Everyone, it seems that Yuan Qi has already taken action against those tribes." Li Daozong said in a deep voice.
"General Manager, this is not far from the Western Turkic Royal Court. The general feels that we should attack the Western Turkic Royal Court directly to capture Yuan Qi alive." Hou Junji said.
Li Daozong nodded and said, "This is my plan."
Originally, he planned to eliminate the tribes in Tong'eshe first, but now that Yuanqi has taken action, there is no need to go to the other tribes.
Seeing that no one objected, Li Daozong said: "Have a good rest today. Early tomorrow morning, speed up and go straight to the royal court of the Western Turks."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
The next day, the army changed its route and headed straight for the royal court of the Western Turks.
After five days, the army was only more than 200 miles away from the Western Turkic Royal Court.
This distance can be reached in only two or three days.
However, at this time, after receiving Xue Yantuo, the entire Khanate moved to the vicinity of the Western Turkic Royal Court.
"Everyone, now the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have gathered together, and their strength is between 350,000 and 400,000. If we win this battle, the war will basically be over." Li Daozong said with a solemn expression.
As for what will happen if you lose, everyone present knows it.
This place is one or two thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. The Western Turks and Xue Yantuo are all cavalry. Once they are defeated, there is basically no possibility of escaping from the grassland.
"General Manager, with our current strength, it will be very difficult to deal with 400,000 cavalry."
Before, they were able to destroy Tong'e She's 200,000 cavalry because of the inner strength of Ashina Sheer.
Now they have no internal response.
Li Daozong looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Lin Xuan, is there anything else that made the loud noise before?"
"General Manager, the Turks have already suffered a loss once, so they must be on guard. It will no longer be of much use," Lin Xuan said.
The people of Xi Tujue and Xue Yantuo are not fools. The explosion of gunpowder will frighten the war horses, so just plug their ears.
