Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

For the growth of their disciples, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin were also extremely gratified.

When everyone meets, it is natural that there will be some enthusiasm.

But Li Qiu directly rejected the banquet prepared for the evening.

At the same time, he ordered that tomorrow morning, the troops will divide into two groups and attack Liaodong City and Anshi City at the same time.

Upon hearing this, all the generals were taken aback.

But they didn't dare to hesitate, they immediately took orders and scattered away one after another.

Each is busy.

As for Li Qiu and Luo Kexin, they listened to the city officials' report on the current government affairs in the city.

As well as some basic information such as military strength, defense, and the number of households here.

Early the next morning, soldiers were called on the battlefield.

Li Qiu personally led Gao Kan, Xue Rengui and other generals, leading [-] troops, to attack Liaodong City.

As for Luo Kexin, he led Luo Liang, Wang Xuance and other generals with [-] troops to attack Anshi City.

Envoys from the Tang Dynasty were personally invited to come to Goguryeo.

The atmosphere on both sides was very good.

Therefore, no one on the Goguryeo side expected that the Tang army would use troops against Goguryeo so abruptly.

Under the city of Liaodong, the generals of Goguryeo sternly asked.

You wait for Tang Jun, why did you invade my Goguryeo territory.

Li Qiu, on the other hand, held up the token that King Rongliu handed over to Gao Jifu.

Tell them that Yungai Suwen has now rebelled in Pyongyang City.

King Rongliu is in a critical situation.

At the request of King Rongliu, I brought troops here.

You waited to open the gate of the city quickly, and followed me to King Qin of Pyongyang.

For their words, and this mere piece of token.

The generals defending the city naturally refused to believe it.

Immediately ordered to release arrows to expel the army under the city.

At this time, Li Qiu was also unceremonious, and directly ordered the army to attack the city.

This Liaodong City is located at the core of the entire Liaodong.

Built relatively tall and solid.

But in terms of steepness, it is far from being able to compare with Huaiyuan City.

Li Qiu's [-] troops rode and shot under the city, attacking fiercely.

The momentum is like a rainbow.

People in the city were panicked, and they suffered a lot of damage just after coming down from the first day.

On the other side of Anshi City, in terms of the height and strength of the city, it is far from being comparable to Liaodong City.

Under the onslaught of Luo Kexin's army.

In just three days, the city was destroyed.

As for the captives and common people in the city, Luo Kexin also gave preferential treatment.

At the same time, a military order was issued to prohibit the army from burning, killing, looting, and killing innocent people indiscriminately.

On the second day, Luo Kexin left [-] soldiers and horses to preside over the overall situation in the city.

At the same time, Luo Liang was sent to lead [-] troops to Liaodong City for support.

After Luo Liang's [-] troops arrived.

The entire Youzhou army surrounded them on all sides and launched a fierce attack at the same time.

The defenders in the city who had been fighting day and night for several days were finally lost.

The city of Liaodong was broken.

Like Luo Kexin, Li Qiu did not kill any prisoners this time.

For the people in the city, there is only a curfew and they are not allowed to go out.

Mainly to appease.

It was at this time.

The regent of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen, led an army of 10,000+ to rush there.

At the time when troops were sent to invade the country in Huaiyuan City.

Someone rode a fast horse back to Pyongyang City to report the emergency situation.

At that time, Yuan Gai Suwen was in a state of desperation and was at a loss for what to do.

Hearing the news, he was completely outraged.

"This Tang Youzhou king!"

"It's really hateful!"

"Extremely nasty!"

It has to be said that Li Qiuka's juncture was really stuck in Yuan Gai Suwen's life.

Right now he has just staged a coup d'état.

Killed hundreds of senior officials in Pyongyang in one breath.

He also dismembered King Rongliu.

This kind of rebellion, such as dishonest name, dishonorable words, killing the emperor and deceiving the ministers, has extremely bad influence.

Although he has military power in his hands, he wants to completely stabilize his regime.

There is still much to go.

In particular, King Rongliu's control over Goguryeo was not as weak as imagined.

Otherwise, Yuan Gai Suwen would not have killed hundreds of court officials.

Even if he now appoints Gao Zang, the nephew of King Rongliu, as the new king.

But in order to stabilize the situation, it will take at least three to five years.

Now the Tang army suddenly entered, and under the banner of King Qin.

This kind of pretense really made Yuan Gai Suwen feel extremely uncomfortable.

In front of the two armies.

Yuan Gai Su Wen pointed at Li Qiu and scolded him sharply.

"Hi, you King Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now you ignore me, Goguryeo, and surrender to your Tang Dynasty."

"But he violated the border of our country for no reason."

"To do such an injustice."

"Aren't you afraid of being accused by neighboring countries?"

Li Qiu sneered at this time, and took out King Rongliu's token and the forged letter from Youzhou again.

"Hmph, a joke."

"The last time I was an envoy from the Tang Dynasty."

"King Rongliu specially asked the envoys to send this letter and token, asking His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help."

"We have also received His Majesty's order this time."

"Come to Goguryeo and help King Rongliu put down the rebellion."

"Yuan Gai Su Wen, quickly invite King Rongliu out."

"As long as he shows up and explains everything to us personally, we will withdraw immediately."

Listening to Li Qiu's heart-wrenching words, Yuan Gai Suwen felt extremely disgusted.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "My king was seriously ill a while ago, and now he has passed away."

"Now, I, Goguryeo, have been succeeded by King Baozang, the nephew of King Yeongliu."

"Could it be that you want to take advantage of other people's dangers and occupy my Goguryeo city by force?"

Chapter 820: Locust Plague Strikes

Hearing this, Li Qiu snorted coldly.

"It's really like what King Rongliu said, you and other officials and thieves will kill the king and deceive the ministers, and torture the people."

"Today, my Tang Dynasty is entrusted by people to be loyal."

"How dare you disobey King Rongliu's request to crusade against you and set things right."

Afterwards, without saying a word, Li Qiu directly ordered a fierce attack on the Goguryeo army.

Right now, the Youzhou Army of the Tang Dynasty is well-equipped.

It is also a famous teacher who has just won a big victory and has good morale.

On the other hand, Yuan Gai Su Wen's side, the army rushed over.

One is that the foothold is not stable.

The second is panic.

How could it be the opponent of the Youzhou Army?

So Yuan Gai Suwen hastily ordered to stabilize his position and immediately retreated.

After leaving more than [-] heads, they retreated to Xincheng to hold on.

Afterwards, Yuan Gai Suwen, who was anxious but helpless, secretly sent envoys.

Come to Liaodong City and negotiate with Li Qiu.

What kind of conditions are needed to ask the Youzhou Army to withdraw?

In this situation, it is not allowed for Yuan Gai Suwen not to cut his flesh.

……

On the other side, Datang Chang'an.

At the end of summer, around Chang'an, Guanlong, Luoyang, Shandong and other places.

There were locust plagues.

In some places, the disaster was quite serious.

Seeing that the grain will be harvested in two months.

But there was a plague of locusts.

Countless people can only watch a year of hard work, and the food for the whole family for the winter is eaten up by insects.

Under such natural and man-made disasters, Li Shimin naturally had no intention of hiding in Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

Immediately, they returned to the court to command Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui and others to provide disaster relief.

In the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin frowned, and sat listening to the officials of the household department, reporting the disaster situation of each state capital one by one.

Now the world is looking at the world.

Tang Jun also achieved great victories in the Western Regions.
