The First Family of Tang Dynasty

At this moment, Li Shimin could already see the outline of Pyongyang City as the detectives of the Tang Dynasty came and went.

The king of Goguryeo has led all the civil and military officials of Goguryeo to stand outside the city.

The 20,000 defenders of Pyongyang City also put down their weapons and stood around in a very complicated mood, looking at the elite Tang Dynasty that was approaching.

And the first thing that catches the eye are those tall and majestic battleships. At this moment, the gun ports opened on the sides of the battleships, and the metallic luster of the muzzles exposed are daunting.

Especially those Koguryo soldiers who experienced the offensive and defensive battle in Liaodong, and finally escaped and returned to the east of Yalu River by chance.

Looking at those cannon muzzles, he remembered that when he was on the top of the city, he saw the artillery roaring in the Datang army formation.

Spewing gunpowder smoke and blazing flames, the scenes of the solid city defenses they are proud of like paper lakes seem to be vividly remembered.

If it weren't for these earth-shattering cannons, they would have been Goguryeo warriors who thought their martial prowess was not inferior to the elites of the Tang Dynasty.

And why didn't he even have a chance to fight hand-to-hand with the elites of the Tang Dynasty, so he lost his courage and ran away with his head in his arms...

As the army of the Tang Dynasty with its heyday was approaching, soon, the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers also saw it in the team.

The carriage pulled by the horses, and the artillery hanging from the rear of the carriage, were dragged towards this side.

Yuan Pure Land heard a whispered report from a general in his ear.

"Damo Lizhi, that is the artillery used by the Tang Dynasty to attack my Goguryeo city, so that even the strong city of Goguryeo can't resist..."

Yuan Pure Land needed to control the situation in the middle of the country and guard the former king Gao Zang, so he never stayed away from Pyongyang City during the entire war.

Therefore, everything that happened in this war can only be known by relying on my brother's dictation and the battle reports.

But today, he finally saw with his own eyes the weapon that collapsed Goguryeo's resistance and demoralized the Goguryeo soldiers.

And looking at the nearly a hundred carriages pulling artillery that were coming towards this side, I thought of what my brother said before, it only takes a few days for a dozen cannons to knock down the walls of Jiancheng.

Hundreds of cannons, and those cruisers on the water, a battleship with more than a dozen cannons.

Let the last trace of unwillingness and resentment in Yuan Pure Land's heart turn into sighs and relief.

Accompanied by the military order, carriages began to line up in a horizontal formation about two miles away from the city of Pyongyang.

And countless Tang cavalry, driving the mounts under them, which were far taller and more majestic than Goguryeo's war horses, also began to spread out.

The flags of the poles swayed in the wind and made a loud noise.

More and more elites of the Tang Dynasty gathered, looking at these elites of the Tang Dynasty who were well-armored and armed to the teeth.

The Goguryeo rulers and ministers standing outside Pyongyang have all fallen silent, watching the army silently.

When a burst of earth-shattering drums sounded, the Datang army formation, which was originally in a horizontal formation, moved from the middle to the two sides.

A very eye-catching golden-red armored horse was revealed, and on the horse's back was a tall man wearing a golden helmet and gold armor.

"Father, that must be His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..." the ten-year-old Gao Anshun whispered nervously.

Yuan Jingtu, who was also nervous at the moment, nodded silently, looking at this invincible Datang army.

Seeing the tall man in the golden helmet and armor, surrounded and guarded by nearly a thousand Tang cavalry, he walked slowly to the front of the army formation and stopped.

Yuan Pure Land took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, follow me."

"Father…"

"Don't call me father. Now, you are my king of Goguryeo. Remember, you are the emperor of Tang Dynasty who controls the destiny of the world. Don't be rude."

Seeing that Gao Anshun nodded honestly, he held the sandalwood box containing the king's seal in both hands and began to walk slowly.

Yuan Jingtu took the box containing his elder brother's head from the hand of his entourage, felt the heavy weight, gritted his teeth, and respectfully followed Gao Anshun's footsteps.

Next, the fate of Goguryeo and the fate of the Yuan clan rested on that man in the golden helmet.

Li Shimin sat on the horseback, looking at the Goguryeo rulers and ministers who were walking heavy steps, holding various things, walking towards this side.

His expression was very calm, but only Zhao Kun who rode his horse and stood beside him could see that His Majesty's five fingers holding the rein of the horse had already turned white.

The other hand was clenched into a fist for a while, and then loosened for a while, obviously it was a little too nervous.

Just as Zhao Kun was observing carefully, he suddenly heard a question from His Majesty.

"Where's Cheng Sanlang?"

"Ah, Your Majesty, I don't know what Xiaocheng Taibao is doing behind the scenes..."

Zhao Kun craned his neck to look around for a long time, and then he noticed that Cheng Sanlang and those cronies who served in the navy were squeezed behind him at the moment.

Excited to brag and fart, very happy. Of course, Zhao Kun is too embarrassed to say it directly, so he can only write in a spring and autumn style.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

"Let that kid come over."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun quickly agreed, and hurriedly ordered to his companions.

Ma Zhou, who was standing on the other side at the moment, couldn't help laughing, also, the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo was so smooth, I have to say that Cheng Sanlang's various coquettish operations played a big role.

Whether it's the artillery that is invincible in attacking cities and villages, and he sits in Liaodong.

The large number of prisoners of war who were regarded as troublesome in the past were trained to be obedient and docile, and even became Datang's help in governing Liaodong.

Let the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty be able to fight in the front with peace of mind, without worrying about the new battlefield in the rear.

Not to mention, this kid's various operations when he was the deputy general manager of Pyongyang Province, easily destroyed the Japanese country, and beat the Baekje Navy and Goguryeo Navy into cripples.

It's just that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has a lot of credit, I am very clear, and His Majesty is also very clear, but I can't say more.

After all, this kid is not as good as Mu Xiuyu Lin, this is clearly the rhythm of standing out from the crowd.

Just as Ma Zhou was thinking about it, Cheng Sanlang squeezed over there as he was ordered.

"My father-in-law, what are your orders for calling your son-in-law?"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked kindly at the minister who made great contributions to the Great Tang's victory over Goguryeo.

"Just stay by the old man's side, and I will tell you something later."

What could Cheng Sanlang say, he could only squat honestly next to his father-in-law who was dressed like an old beetle in a golden helmet and armor.

But at this moment, the Goguryeo rulers and ministers were slowly approaching and getting closer, and Gao Anshun also saw the young man who suddenly appeared beside the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the tall and burly figure of that young man, I couldn't help but be a little curious. Could it be, which prince of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is this?
