Quan Gai Suwen died, but his son Quan Nanjian was gone, although even if this person was alive, he would not be able to stir up too much trouble in the future, but after all, he was an important figure in the Quan family, so Qin Qiong immediately sent people to search in the city, but at this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace, burning down several palaces, and after the fire was extinguished, someone found a burned secret passage in the ruins, but he didn't know where it led.

Although it is a pity that Quan Nanjian was not caught, but with the death of Quan Gai Suwen, this war that lasted for nearly a year finally ended, and the entire Goguryeo City also completely fell into the control of the Tang Dynasty, but most of the pill capital city was also destroyed in the war, and the terrain here is too dangerous, and it is the birthplace of Goguryeo, which is of great significance to the Goguryeo people, if it is left, maybe in the future, the Goguryeo people will occupy this place again to fight against the rule of the Tang Dynasty, so in the end, Qin Qiong decided to completely destroy the pill capital.

Of course, it was not the first time that the Marudu City was destroyed by the army of the Central Plains, in fact, the Marudu City they see now has long been no longer the scene of its heyday, and there are even some ruins that were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains in many places, such as the Tang Army found a stone tablet on the slope of the Marudu Mountain, this stele was erected after the mother Qiu Jian destroyed the Marudu City, and it was not destroyed by the Goguryeo people, which is also a wonder.

With Qin Qiong's order, the mountain city of Marudu City, which has a dangerous terrain, finally ushered in another destruction, although the main body of the city wall is built of stone, but most of the houses in the city are wooden, after all, there are many forests in the mountains, so under the fire of the Tang army everywhere, the entire Marudu City was quickly burned.

Originally, there were still a lot of ordinary people in Goguryeo in Marudu City, according to Cheng Biting Jin's temper, these people should be buried in Marudu City, anyway, it was not the first time he had done such a thing as slaughtering the city, and he didn't have any psychological burden to do it again, but Qin Qiong still had a bottom line as a man, so in the end, before setting fire to the city, the people in the city moved to the domestic city under the mountain.

The fire on the mountain burned for two days and two nights, and when the fire was finally extinguished, the entire head of Mt. Maruto was burned black, and the snow that had snowed before was melted into snow and flowed downward, and as a result, it was frozen into ice on the slopes of the mountain, and the only mountain road leading from the domestic city to Marudu Castle was also destroyed by the Tang army, and it became very difficult to go up the mountain.

After doing all this, Qin Qiong discussed with Cheng Yanjin and Li Xiu, and then began to withdraw to Pyongyang, the war report has been sent, Li Shimin is still in Pyongyang and has not returned to Datang, it is estimated that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, but now it has entered the early winter, and it is impossible for Datang to keep the army here, so when they return to Pyongyang, it is estimated that it will be when Li Shimin's class returns to the DPRK.

However, just as Qin Qiong and their army were about to leave the domestic city, on this day, a group of Goguryeo soldiers suddenly came to ask for a meeting, and sent Quan Nanjian's head, which made Li Xiu and the others very surprised, and then asked these people to know what happened.

It turned out that this team of Goguryeo soldiers were all Quan Nanjian's personal guards, before Quan Gai Suwen asked them to escort Quan Nanjian to escape from Marudu Mountain through the official road, and went down the mountain from the other side of the mountain, although Marudu Mountain only has a road up the mountain in the domestic city, but this mainly refers to the road that can let people go up the mountain and transport materials, if it is only a few people, if you want to go down the mountain, you can still find a way, such as encountering a cliff and passing through it with a rope, etc., just like Xue Rengui before they climbed from the cliff to Marudu Mountain.

However, after Quan Nanjian escaped from Marudu Mountain, he learned that his father was dead, and his temper became very irritable, and the head of the guard was killed by Quan Nanjian because of his disagreement, which made the other guards also put themselves in danger, and finally someone proposed to surrender to the Tang Army, so they took advantage of Quan Nanjian's sleep at night, cut off each other's heads and came to Datang, not asking for any credit, but asking Datang not to hold them accountable in the future.

Qin Qiong, Li Xiu and others didn't expect Quan Nanjian to die so easily, at first Cheng Yanjin even had some doubts about whether this head was Quan Nanjian himself, it just so happened that Qin Qiong let go of some residents of Pill Capital City Someone had seen Quan Nanjian, and after their identification, it was determined that the head was Quan Nanjian, which dispelled his suspicions.

In any case, Quan Nanjian also died, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and then the whole army accelerated to Pyongyang, but the weather at this time was already very cold, especially the heavy snow in Marudu Mountain before, which made the temperature drop all of a sudden, and you can feel the cold wind when you ride on a horse during the day, and sometimes you will wake up when you sleep at night, even if Li Xiu wraps himself tightly in a sleeping bag, it is useless, because the tent can't block the wind, even if there is a small gap, the cold wind can get in, and the person who blows is numb all over.

However, cold also has the benefit of cold, when Li Xiu came before, the road was muddy when it rained, which made it difficult for the army to advance, but now the road is all frozen, although it is a little slippery, but it is very easy to walk, and even the Yalu River is frozen, but it is not impossible to leave, fortunately, there is a pontoon bridge to pass, and most of the materials in the army are consumed, which makes the army lightly armed, so on the return journey, Li Xiu and their army also went very fast.

Half a month later, Li Xiu and his party finally returned to Pyongyang City, Li Shimin learned the news of Qin Qiong's triumphant return, and he also personally went out of the city to greet them, and Qin Qiong also sent the heads of Quan Gai Suwen and Quan Nanjian, and let Li Shimin reward them greatly, and then feasted in the palace to entertain them as soldiers who returned victoriously.

And after the banquet, Li Xiu finally lived in a warm house, slept for the most peaceful sleep during this time, and when he woke up the next day, he also felt energetic, especially after drinking a bowl of hot porridge, he felt that the whole person was finally alive, no wonder others said that Liaodong was a bitter cold place, and when he was marching outside, it was indeed bitter and cold, and he didn't want to suffer this kind of crime a second time.

Returning victorious, Li Xiu thought that Li Shimin would give himself and Qin Qiong a few days off so that they could recuperate, so he also planned to take a good rest today, but he didn't expect that just after breakfast, he received the news that Li Shimin had summoned him to the palace for deliberations, which made him very helpless, so he had to rush to the palace, but as soon as he saw Li Shimin, he saw the other party with a solemn expression and said: "Li Xiu, Baekje King Yici is also here!" ”
