"King Rongliu is dead, and he was killed by Quan Gai Suwen!" When Li Xiu heard the news, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression, although he knew that there was a contradiction between King Rongliu and Quangai Suwen, but the strength of both sides was not bad, and no one could help anyone, but he didn't expect the other party to be killed by Quangai Suwen so easily.

In fact, Li Xiu knew too little about the history of Goguryeo, and he didn't know that in the original history, King Rongliu died at the hands of Quangai Suwen, and he died a particularly tragic death, it is said that Quangai Suwen personally killed King Rongliu and divided the body, but poor King Rongliu did not even leave a whole corpse after his death.

The information sent by Su Dingfang was very detailed, which told the reason for the battle between King Yeryo and Quangae Suwen, and the killing of King Yeongro, which made Li Xiu also learn about this coup d'état within Goguryeo.

In fact, in the past few years, King Rongliu's defense of Quangai Suwen has not decreased, and even has been suppressing Quangai Suwen, although Quangai Suwen has a lot of troops in his hands, but he is a courtier after all, so in the past two years, he has slowly fallen to the downside, many nobles who were originally attached to him, and slowly turned to King Rongliu, it can be said that if it is not as good as an accident, Quangai Suwen will definitely die in a few years.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that since the Tang Dynasty sent Su Dingfang to harass the border of Goguryeo a few years ago, the Goguryeo people were desperately trying to make peace at first, but the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to it at all, so in order to protect himself, King Rongliu began to build a defense line similar to the Great Wall in the country, after all, he also knew that with the weakening of his national strength, sooner or later the Tang Dynasty would usher in an all-out attack, so he built such a line of defense, hoping to block the attack of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

This year, Su Dingfang attacked Goguryeo again and burned countless precious grains, which made King Rongliu also very angry, but he also took this opportunity to once again ask for speeding up the construction of the domestic defense line, and also ordered Quangai Suwen to personally supervise, in fact, to find a reason to transfer Quangai Suwen away from the power core of Goguryeo, so as to achieve the effect of weakening the opponent's strength.

In the face of King Rongliu's order, Quan Gai Suwen agreed on the surface, but in fact, he already had a rebellious heart in his heart, so he took the opportunity of leaving Pyongyang to ask King Rongliu to see him off.

However, what King Rongliu never expected was that Quangai Suwen was much more ruthless than he imagined, and when those ministers saw him off, Quangai Suwen warmly invited these people to inspect his army, and also held a banquet in the army to entertain these ministers, but he didn't expect that the wine was only halfway drunk, and the ambush soldiers next to him were killed, and more than 100 Goguryeo ministers all died at the hands of Quangai Suwen.

After killing these ministers, Quangai Suwen immediately marched into Pyongyang, broke into the palace and killed King Rongliu with his own hands, and also cruelly divided King Rongliu's body, and did not even hold a funeral for the other party.

According to the news from Su Dingfang, now Quangai Suwen has established Gaozang, the nephew of the king of Rongliu, as the king, and named himself "Da Mo Lizhi", the commander-in-chief of Goguryeo's military and political power, it can be said that he is the regent of Goguryeo, and Gozang is just a puppet in his hands.

"Interesting, it seems that the reason why this Quangai Suwen was able to block the attack of the Tang Dynasty in history is indeed outstanding!" After reading this information sent by Li Shimin, Li Xiu couldn't help touching his chin and muttering to himself, he was ready to go to bed tonight, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to send such a piece of information, and let him go to the palace tomorrow, it seems that he wants to discuss the impact of this matter on the future attack on Goguryeo.

In fact, from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, it should be a good thing for Quangai Suwen to kill King Rongliu, and the benefits are very real, the first is that the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of sending troops for no reason, although the Tang Dynasty has been harassing Goguryeo in recent years, and there is almost no diplomatic relations between the two countries, but in the past, Goguryeo was a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, and King Rongliu was also canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and now that King Rongliu is dead, the Tang Dynasty can naturally send troops under the banner of avenging King Rongliu.

Speaking of Datang after all, it is a big country, and the article on the surface still has to be done, especially this kind of thing like attacking the surrounding small countries, and it is necessary to find a reason, such as attacking Tuyuhun before, it is because Tuyuhun has harassed the borders of Datang many times, although Datang's revenge is ruthless, but others dare not say anything, and Goguryeo has been very honest in recent years, originally Li Shimin still wanted to collect the bones of the former Sui soldiers who died in Liaodong, but now it seems that there is no need.

In addition to the reason for sending troops, there is also a very tangible benefit, that is, although Quangae Suwen killed King Rongliu, according to previous information, King Rongliu originally had the upper hand, even if he is dead now, but the army loyal to him is still there, plus Quangae Suwen has killed so many ministers, it will definitely arouse the hatred of many Goguryeo nobles.

In other words, although Quangae Suwen's coup d'état was successful, it exacerbated the internal division and turmoil in Goguryeo, and even with his ability and skill, it was impossible to quell the internal turmoil in a short time, so this was also a rare opportunity for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty summons me to the palace tomorrow, I'm afraid it's to discuss when to send troops, right?" Li Xiu said to himself again at this time, with Li Shimin's character, he would definitely not give up this opportunity easily.

However, Li Xiu then thought that Quangai Suwen's coup d'état this time was probably also carefully prepared, for example, the timing of his launch this time was very ingenious, because now it was winter in Liaodong, and the Tang Dynasty could not send troops at all, and he probably planned to use this winter time to quell the division and turmoil within Goguryeo.

Of course, the time of a winter is indeed a little shorter, but Datang generally does not use troops in spring and summer, so that Quangai Suwen has more than half a year to quell the domestic turmoil, which is enough for him.

In addition, Li Xiu also thought that with Quangai Suwen's ability, if he really waited until he calmed down the internal turmoil in Goguryeo, and then unanimously to the outside world, even with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be easy to destroy the other party, and even if he was not careful, Li Shimin might repeat the mistakes of history.
