Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 928 Deception

February [-]th is auspicious, offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, and the emperor will set off on the expedition.

Prince Li Chengqian led a hundred officials to send him away for fifty miles.

The empty alleys of Chang'an.

Countless people went out of the city to see each other off.

The 15-strong army went straight to Liaodong.

Liaodong, Pyongyang City, several galloped on fast horses.

"Urgent military situation!"

"Urgent military situation! Get out of the way!"

With a loud shout, passers-by and pedestrians stepped aside one after another.

Even the soldiers guarding the city gate gave way one after another, but they were curious, where did this emergency situation come from?

Since last winter, the city of Pyongyang has received a lot of urgent military information.

All good news!

Since the army conquered Silla last winter, they have won consecutive battles and reported successes frequently. It will not be long before the army can capture Silla and occupy Silla.

I don't know what kind of military situation this emergency military situation is. It should be another good news, right?

Just why does that person look sullen instead of beaming?

Did the army lose the battle?

Impossible, now that Silla has suffered heavy casualties but is struggling to support, how can it win the battle?

Also, why did the senders of military intelligence enter the city through the west gate instead of the east gate?

Could it be that I went wrong?

However, what they didn't know was that this military situation didn't come from the Silla battlefield at all, but from Datang.

Although Goguryeo did not send envoys to Datang, there were spies pretending to be businessmen who stayed in Chang'an of Datang to inquire about the news.

The news of the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition was aroused by the ruling and opposition parties. How could the Goguryeo spies not know about it?

When it was known that the Tang Dynasty was going to send troops to the East, and even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was going to march in person, the Goguryeo spies were suddenly horrified. Didn't Yuan Gai Suwen swear that the Tang Dynasty would not send troops?

Why did the Tang Dynasty send troops to the east?

Not only sent troops to the east, but also the emperor's personal expedition.

Yuan Gai Suwen also said that Su Cheng would stop Datang from sending troops, what the hell, Su Cheng not only didn't stop it, but played a decisive role.

In the palace, Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu is holding a beautiful woman for a drink. In the past six months, there have been frequent success stories, and Silla is obviously out of money, and it may happen at any time.

Goguryeo will annex Silla, this is the dream of many kings for many years!

Unexpectedly, it was realized in his hands. Not only the annexation of Silla, but after the annexation of Silla, Goguryeo is bound to increase in strength, and then annex Baekje!

After the unification of the Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo's strength has greatly increased, and it will be able to compete with Datang in the future. It is no longer necessary to guard against Datang's attack, but Datang must guard against their Goguryeo's attack at any time.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu's heart was full of pride. He was the King of Zhongxing in Goguryeo, and people would praise his prestige after a hundred years and a thousand years.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is an urgent military situation!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianwu pushed away the beauty beside him, stood up excitedly, and asked, "A military emergency? Is it another good news? Haha! Did you break the Silla Royal City? Did you capture the Queen of Silla?"

"Reporting to the king, it is not the urgent military situation of Silla, but the military situation from Liaodong!"

Gao Jianwu couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this, the military situation from Liaodong?

What kind of military situation can Liaodong have?

Wait a minute?Liaodong?Datang?

Gao Jianwu's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "What? Liaodong military situation? Why is there an emergency military situation in Liaodong? Where are people? Come in quickly!"

Several people walked into the hall quickly, tremblingly said: "I have seen the king!"

Gao Jianwu strode forward and asked, "Say! What's the emergency situation in Liaodong?"

"My lord, the envoys of Silla have arrived at Datang by sea, and the envoys of Silla have also asked Datang to send troops to help!"

After hearing this, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice: "Silla sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help. This was expected a long time ago, but with the help of Rong Guogong, the envoys of Silla would not want the Tang Dynasty to send troops!"

"Duke Rong? Your Majesty, Duke Rong didn't help Goguryeo at all. Instead, he helped the envoys of Silla and sent troops from the Tang Dynasty!"

Gao Jianwu was shocked when he heard this, and shouted, "What did you say? Not only did Duke Rong not help us in Goguryeo, he helped Silla instead? How is this possible?"

"Yuan Gai Suwen and Rong Guogong are close friends. Rong Guogong has promised Yuan Gai Suwen to help Goguryeo and will not let the Tang Dynasty send troops to interfere. How could Rong Guogong help Silla? Are you mistaken? ?”

It was hard for Gao Jianwu to believe these military facts, because he had read all the letters Su Cheng sent to Yuan Gai Su Wen, and he also believed that those letters were really written by Su Cheng.

Because besides Su Cheng, who else in the world could write the words on the letter?

"Your Majesty, what the humble officials reported is true! Goguryeo's envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help, and there was a lot of discussion in the Tang Dynasty, and the court was divided into two factions to quarrel."

"Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't make a decision. At this time, Duke Rong listed four reasons for sending troops to the east, so the emperor and ministers of the Tang Dynasty decided to send troops to the east!"

Gao Jianwu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he lost his voice: "What? Duke Rong actually supports the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition? So the Great Tang really wants the Eastern Expedition?"

"My lord, it is absolutely true that not only the Tang Dynasty is going to send troops to the east, but also the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will personally march!"

Gao Jianwu's face became even more gloomy, and he said solemnly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually wants to conquer in person?"

"My lord, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already rectified his army, maybe he has already dispatched troops now!"

Datang actually sent troops, and Gao Jianwu, who was originally in the midst of high spirits and high ambitions, felt as if he had been hit by a basin of ice water when he heard the news.

All the lofty ambitions were wiped out. Although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty were blocked in the end, they were lucky to be favored by the heavens, and they suffered heavy losses in the end.

Who can guarantee that Goguryeo will be able to resist this Great Tang Expedition?

Even if he could resist, the process would be extremely difficult and the loss would be very heavy. Gao Jianwu couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this.

Now he regrets very much, regrets believing Yuan Gai Suwen's nonsense!

Although he still doesn't understand what's going on, but he already has a hunch that he seems to have been cheated, as if he has fallen into a conspiracy!

Gao Jianwu yelled: "Why don't you go to the civil and military officials soon? I have to summon them to discuss important matters!"

The servants rushed away.

The civil and military officials knew that the king had summoned them all hand in hand, and everyone was smiling. These days, there were frequent success reports. They felt that the king's sudden summons, and the urgent summons, must be another great victory ahead.

Previously, Silla could only struggle to sustain itself, lingering on its last legs. Could it be that the royal city of Silla had already been breached?The queen of Silla has been captured?

Doesn't that mean Silla has been breached?This is a great achievement that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
