Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

If they really did everything according to their demands, then even if Goguryeo did not perish, under that situation, wouldn't it be another way to destroy the country and the race?

By then, such a huge country as Goguryeo would be nothing more than a country in name only!
"If you have no objection...then go and open the city gate..."

The King of Goguryeo no longer had his usual aggressiveness, as if he had been reborn after experiencing tremendous changes.

"No! Your Majesty! If that happens, wouldn't Goguryeo become a running dog of Da Yan? Rather than living like that in the world, it's better to fight them now!"

Among the civil officials, a senior official with a head full of white hair suddenly stood up and spoke harshly.

"Hmph! You old bastard! I've tolerated you for so long! Stop spreading lies here to confuse the people! You already have one foot in the coffin, and if you want to commit suicide, we won't stop you! But we don't want to die! It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!"

Before the King of Goguryeo could say anything, a burly general stepped forward from among the military commanders and started swearing at the civil official's nose.

"Your Majesty! Don't listen to him! Staying alive is the most basic thing! As long as we are alive, we still have a chance to make a comeback! Goguryeo will regain its former glory sooner or later!"

The general turned around and spoke to the King of Goguryeo.

"What about the others? Feel free to share any ideas you have."

The King of Goguryeo did not take the abnormality of their conversation seriously, but turned his attention to other people.

After these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials chattered for a while, but still no result was reached.

But in the end, facing the threat of death, there are naturally people who want to survive.

Half an hour later, the gates of the Goguryeo royal city were opened, and almost all the soldiers came out without any weapons.

Guo Shoujing led a group of generals and many soldiers into the city, and soon took over the huge Goguryeo royal city.

However, the 100,000-strong Goguryeo army did not dare to make any unusual movements in the face of hundreds of thousands of Dayan troops and could only wait for orders to be given.

………………

at the same time.

Qianli away, in Yanyun City, the back garden of the Du Mansion.

"Master Du, Xiao Yuanyuan and Princess Changle are going to the battlefield with Cheng Chumo and the other two guys. Why aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to her?"

In the back garden, Mr. Du was playing chess with Mr. Tang. When the game was getting very close, Mr. Tang suddenly spoke.

"That little girl, although she is young, has a lot of ideas! This time she went to find Li Kuan. It is safer to be with Li Kuan than to stay in this mansion."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du stroked his white beard and said,

But the worry in his eyes couldn't be faked.

"That's true, but the battlefield is dangerous after all. She's just a little girl, unarmed."

Mr. Tang picked up a chess piece, held it in the air, looked at the old man, and spoke slowly.

"I don't know what happened to them... Li Kuan and that person, too."

The old man seemed to be moved by Mr. Tang's words. He suddenly looked up at the sky over Goguryeo.

"Checkmate! You lose."

The next moment, Mr. Tang's chess piece fell, and a voice came along, calling the old man back to his thoughts.

"Uh...old buddy! Did you say all that just to distract me?"

The old man widened his eyes, as if he knew something.

"Xiao Yuanyuan went to look for him. You know how powerful he is. It's probably safer to be by his side than in Chang'an City."

Mr. Tang stroked his long gray beard and said with a smile.

Since the incident in Youzhou City, he has been watching Li Kuan and trying to kill him all the way!
No one can shake that tall and majestic figure.

"That's right... old buddy! Come again! I won't be distracted this time! I will make you lose a few times!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du put away the worry that had just appeared in his eyes, and then called on Mr. Tang to put the chessboard in order again.

………………

at the same time.

Outside the Goguryeo royal city, the Yangjie army was stationed.

Huizhen, who had escaped from Yuchi Laohei's hands before, and the commander stationed at the Yalu River, originally wanted to support the defenders of the royal city, but unexpectedly, the King of Goguryeo surrendered and the city gates were wide open.

The two were afraid that they would be held accountable by Dayanqiu later, so they dared not fight against the enemy with their own strength. They could only flee quickly and observe the developments in the city from afar.

"Brother Huizhen...what should we do...the king has already surrendered. Even the royal city has been taken by Dayan without a single soldier. In such a big world, where is there any place for us to stand?"

The coach looked gloomy, without a trace of light in his eyes.

If they wanted to use these few defeated soldiers to fight against the hundreds of thousands of mighty troops of Dayan, it would be like trying to stop a rock with an egg and seeking their own death!
If they surrender, they don't know what Dayan's attitude will be. After surrendering, their life and death will all depend on the decision of the Emperor of Dayan!
"...How could the king surrender so easily? It's just the situation! What do you think? If we inflict heavy damage on the Great Yan army...will the king regain his confidence and fight against the Great Yan?"

A crazy idea suddenly popped up in Huizhen's mind.

"Well... with our army of several thousand people, I'm afraid it's not enough for Da Yan, and those soldiers are just a small matter..."

The commander looked hesitant. The king had already given up resistance, so he naturally didn't want to do anything in vain.

"So what? Do you want to keep on fleeing? Or do you want to be suppressed by the Great Yan forever? How can our Goguryeo dynasty be easily reduced to a vassal of others? Moreover, how can I easily let go of my revenge for my broken arm?!"

Huizhen raised his head with an excited expression, and his empty cuffs made him look a little ferocious.

"Although the king has surrendered, there is still a chance to turn around. When Da Yan fully controls Goguryeo, we will have no chance of turning the tables! We can only be a puppet of Da Yan for thousands of years!"

He continued, his thoughts becoming more firm.

Goguryeo can be defeated, but it must not surrender! And it must not be controlled by the Tang Dynasty!
If that's the case, he would rather die than let the net break!
"Even if we are willing to turn the tide, we are powerless in the current situation..."

Thinking of the scene of hundreds of thousands of powerful Yan troops advancing towards the Goguryeo royal city, a deep sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

"No! We can't fight head-on! But we can use a trick! We Tanjie have an incurable disease! Those infected will develop sores on their heads, faces and bodies. In a moment, they will be all over the body, like burns, and filled with white fluid. The body will be covered with pus and sores, which will recur over and over again until they die in agony!"

Huizhen came slowly, but her soft voice concealed cruelty and madness.

More importantly, this is a serious disease. If one person is infected, thousands of others will be infected! It is also an incurable disease. In most cases, those infected will die tragically within a few days.

He did not stop, as if he did not notice the strange look in the general's eyes.

"This is a plan to massacre the whole city... If it is really implemented... the people of Goguryeo, and even the entire city, will be affected... It will hurt people and is unacceptable!"

The general looked at the madness in Huizhen's eyes and took a few steps back unconsciously. Although he didn't want Goguryeo to fall into the hands of Da Yandi, how could he use such a sinister and vicious strategy that would kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred of his own?
This is his Goguryeo territory! If it is really as terrifying as Huizhen said, once it breaks out, it will definitely cause countless casualties in Goguryeo!
"Besides, if it is used in Goguryeo..."

The general's eyes were filled with reluctance, and he regretted mentioning these things to Huizhen.

Those people are really a bunch of lunatics! This is true for Yanshou and Huizhen!
"Humph! It is better to die in glory than to live in dishonor! Rather than destroying the country and the race, it is better to cut off the firewood and give it a try! As long as this evil disease spreads within the Great Yan army, it will seriously damage their vitality! By then, Goguryeo will be able to avoid the danger of national destruction!"

Huizhen was unmoved. In his opinion, as long as the Goguryeo Dynasty could be preserved, any price would be worth it!

"Brother Huizhen! People with different ideals cannot work together! Although I don't want to see the current situation, as long as the Goguryeo capital is preserved, there is still a chance for it to make a comeback. Your plan will only accelerate the demise of Goguryeo!"

Seeing the madness on Huizhen's face becoming more and more intense, the general finally couldn't stand it anymore...

"Humph! In that case! Then we shall go our separate ways from now on!"

Soon, the two parted ways due to disagreements.

Huizhen took her people to Yangji's lair to plan a vicious plot.

After weighing the pros and cons, the general took his troops and went back to the royal city of Gao Fuli.

There is no other way but to surrender!
………………

The Goguryeo royal city. Since the Great Yan army took over the city, the Goguryeo king began to live in seclusion.

Guo Shoujing discussed with the generals and decided to leave some of them behind to stabilize the situation, while the rest would rest for three days before returning to the capital.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as the general walked into a side hall, he saw the King of Goguryeo with a dejected look on his face.

All the kingly majesty and leadership style have long been worn away.

"You...are back...it's good that you're back."

After hearing the voice, the King of Goguryeo raised his head and looked at him. If the Goguryeo royal city was still in his hands, he would certainly raise an army to punish the defeated generals when they returned to the city. However, all this was meaningless now.

"Your Majesty... we are useless... let Your Majesty..."

The general saw the sadness and self-blame in the King of Goguryeo's eyes.

If the Goguryeo army had fought harder, the Goguryeo king would not have been in such a state this time!
"Ah... I don't blame you. I underestimated the power of the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo is no match for its 5.7..."

The King of Goguryeo sighed heavily and waved his hand.

The only thing to blame is that Goguryeo was not strong enough, but it provoked the giant dragon lingering in the Central Plains!
"If you have nothing else to do, go down. I will try my best to arrange all of Dayan's requests. Calm the emotions of my Goguryeo army and do not let them show any resistance..."

The title of King of Goguryeo was already in name only, and he had long lost interest in managing these matters. He gave some orders and wanted to send him away.

"Your Majesty..."

Upon hearing this, the general bowed and stepped back, but when he reached the gate, he hesitated and turned back.

"Your Majesty... there is something I should tell you, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not..."

He suddenly remembered Huizhen's expression when she left. Blinded by hatred and madness, he would never give up.
"What's the matter?"

Goguryeo had already been completely conquered, so what else could arouse its interest?
"Hyejin he..."

The general told Huizhen what she had said before without reservation, and the Goguryeo king, who had been slumped on the throne, sat up in surprise.

"Is there such a thing?"

The King of Goguryeo then discovered that Huizhen did not return to the capital.

If Huizhen were allowed to do whatever she wanted, the huge country of Goguryeo would probably become a purgatory!
"Your Majesty, how should this matter be resolved? Otherwise, I will go to the Tartar general Hui Zhen to stop him."

"No! Let's take a look first..."

The general thought that after hearing the news, the King of Goguryeo would immediately send people to stop Huizhen.

But the reaction of the King of Goguryeo was beyond his expectations.

The King of Goguryeo had a simple idea. If it really worked, even if some people died, it might be a good idea to save Goguryeo!

"Your Majesty! You can't..."

"Shut up! Wait and see what happens! If Huizhen fails, it will have nothing to do with Goguryeo!"

The general was about to say something but was interrupted by the King of Goguryeo.

Sitting on the throne, there was a gleam of light in his eyes again, which was his desire and hope to control Goguryeo.

After a while, the Goguryeo general, who had tried to persuade Zi Pianxin in vain, walked out. Before leaving, he turned around and took a deep look at the Goguryeo king.

"Brother-in-law! When are we going back to Chang'an City? This Goguryeo capital is not fun at all! Chang'an City is much more interesting! Grandpa might be worried about me too!"

In the Dayan camp outside the Goguryeo royal city, Xiao Yuanyuan ran towards Li Kuan who had just returned from the celebration banquet.

"Sister Yuan, when you sneaked out of the house, you didn't think about whether your grandfather would be worried. Why did you think of it now?"

Li Kuan picked up Xiao Yuanyuan, pinched her chubby little face, and said teasingly.

"Well...well...I'm just missing my brother-in-law...otherwise I wouldn't let Grandpa worry!"

Xiao Yuanyuan lowered her little head, not knowing where to put her two little hands.

"You!"

When Li Kuan saw her like this, he couldn't help but pinch her little face again.

"Brother-in-law! It's so lively outside, let's go out and play!"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside, bringing Xiao Yuanyuan back to her senses.

As for the matter of returning to Yanyun City, she temporarily put it aside at this time.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, why did you come at this time? I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Come and try the meat I grilled for you."

A fire was lit in an open space outside the camp, and the old goblin and several other generals sat around it, with delicious food and fine wine spread out on the ground.

Changle, who was originally bored watching the adults drinking and having fun, became very happy when he saw Xiao Yuanyuan coming with Li Kuan. He pulled a piece of barbecue that had been roasting for who knows how long from the campfire and ran towards Xiao Yuanyuan.
