Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 384 Extremely Dangerous

Otherwise, Yang Yanzhang would never show such an expression.

But now is not the time to worry about this matter. Li Jing took a deep breath and said seriously: "Yan Zhang, this expedition south to conquer Goguryeo is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out!"

"However, Your Majesty has already decided. I won't say much. No matter what the outcome is, I will follow Your Majesty to Goguryeo. Because I promised my good brother that I will give him justice."

Yang Yanzhang's face was solemn, and he naturally knew who Li Jing was talking about.

Li Shimin agreed to Li Zhi and took him to Goguryeo to pay homage to his deceased brother Li Yuan, and then give Li Yuan justice.

"Are you going to Goguryeo too?" Li Jing asked.

"Uncle, Yanzhang is going to Goguryeo with his father." Yang Yanzhang nodded.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with these people?" Li Jing said.

As he said that, he pointed to the five hundred elites in the room and said: "This is His Majesty's intention. Let His Highness select the elites to form a cavalry unit as your direct descendants in the army."

"These people are brave soldiers brought from the Western Regions and Lingnan. Their fighting power is very powerful, enough to defeat any enemy."

Li Jing's face was full of pride. These soldiers were carefully trained by him. They were cavalry that he trained at great cost. They were an army loyal to the Li family.

Yang Yanzhang's eyes lit up when he looked at these five hundred elites.

If he could have such a cavalry force, it would be of great help to him in controlling the entire Tang Empire.

"Uncle, I am willing to choose these people." Yang Yanzhang said.

"That's good, Your Majesty's thoughts are not in vain!" Li Jing said with a smile.

Yang Yanzhang sighed inwardly, Li Shimin did this because he was afraid that he would be unable to fight alone and command the army to defeat Goguryeo.

This move seemed a bit reckless.

In fact, it was Li Shimin who had high hopes for Yang Yanzhang.

These five hundred elites are not ordinary soldiers.

Everyone has extraordinary martial arts skills and can kill people like crazy.

Especially since they have all experienced long journeys, they are more ferocious and cruel than ordinary people, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to control them.

Unfortunately, Yang Yanzhang was different. He had a special status. He was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he was qualified to command the army.

Moreover, Yang Yanzhang is also confident that with these five hundred elites, he can defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop!

However, Yang Yanzhang's current goal is not Goguryeo, but the Wonu Kingdom.

After Li Jing saw Yang Yanzhang accepting five hundred soldiers, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's time for us to set off, otherwise it will be bad if we miss the auspicious time."

"Well, let's leave now." Yang Yanzhang nodded.

So, everyone left Tai Chi Palace and headed towards the north gate of Chang'an City.

On the official road outside Chang'an City.

Five hundred elite troops were ready to go.

"Your Royal Highness, the general and others will defend Chang'an to the death!" A school lieutenant stood in front of Yang Yanzhang and knelt down on one knee.

"The general and others will also swear to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death!" Another captain knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Swear to defend His Highness the Crown Prince to the death!" the remaining three hundred elites shouted in unison.

The sound resounded throughout the sky and shocked all directions!

Yang Yanzhang's face was full of excitement, and his cheeks were red with excitement.

Li Jing looked at Yang Yanzhang and felt very pleased.

When Yang Yanzhang was young, although he was smart, he lacked experience.

But now after this hard work, he has become much calmer.

"Let's go." Yang Yanzhang slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at the mountains in the distance. He snorted secretly in his heart: "Liu Ji, this time, I will see how you can withstand our fierce offensive!"

Yang Yanzhang led the army on the road at an extremely fast speed.

It only took half a day to reach Goguryeo.

At this time, most of Goguryeo had fallen into the hands of the Han people.

The main force of Goguryeo has been destroyed, so there is no resistance in Goguryeo. It only needs to slowly eliminate these scattered resisters.

After Yang Yanzhang and the others arrived in Goguryeo, they went straight to Liaodong County.

Goguryeo Liaodong County is less than 20 miles away from Pyongyang City, and there is a large amount of food and supplies, so Yang Yanzhang and the others were very fast. It only took six or seven days to reach the hinterland of Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, how about we take a rest and eat something before attacking?" a school captain suggested.

Yang Yanzhang nodded and said: "Give me the order, stay where you are, eat something and rest for a while before attacking!"

"Yes!" The captain responded and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

The soldiers were exhausted from traveling these past few days and needed to eat some food to replenish their strength.

Soon, various dried meats, fruits, etc. were delivered.

Yang Yanzhang and others sat by the fire to warm themselves up and enjoy delicious food.

"Haha, it smells so good!" Li Tai took a piece of dried meat and took a bite, his face immediately filled with intoxication.

"Don't just eat, drink some water." Yang Yanzhang said lightly: "Everyone has worked hard along the way."

Two brothers, Yang Yanzhang and Li Tai, each had a large bowl filled with hot tea. While drinking tea, they talked about their experiences along the way.

After two months of traveling, we finally arrived in Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, according to the report of our spies, there are still many troops in front of us. This is our second batch of reinforcements." Li Tai whispered.

Yang Yanzhang looked at the five hundred cavalry in front of him who were eating dried meat, and said softly: "Who are they?"

"I don't know!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "I just heard that they are the Goguryeo army."

"Oh!" Yang Yanzhang exclaimed and said, "This is strange. Could it be that they don't know that this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty? They dare to step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Don't you want to live?"

"Your Highness, be careful what you say." Li Bi hurriedly reminded him, if such words were heard by others, he might get into trouble.

Yang Yanzhang nodded slightly, but his expression remained cold.

"These guys are so brave!" Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly.

Yang Yanzhang had already planned in his heart that these Goguryeo troops who dared to step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty must die!

However, Yang Yanzhang temporarily suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and continued to chat with Li Tai.

Soon, they encountered other Goguryeo troops, who were all frightened by the Han army and fled in panic.

Yang Yanzhang and the others ignored it and continued to move forward.

For several days, Yang Yanzhang led the army smoothly and did not encounter any obstruction from the Goguryeo army.

This made Yang Yanzhang feel a little strange. According to his guess, these Goguryeo troops would definitely set up an ambush to intercept and kill him.

However, Yang Yanzhang did not believe that the army under his command was a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by the Goguryeo people at will.

"Your Highness, there is a checkpoint ahead, and the defenders are at least a thousand people." A school captain reported.

Yang Yanzhang frowned slightly. He didn't expect that he would encounter a checkpoint just after passing through the territory of Goguryeo. Is this a coincidence?
