"I, I can't." Gao Zang saw Gai Suwen's eyes, his face changed slightly, and he shook his head without thinking about it and said: "I don't have enough prestige, my talent is limited, how can I be the king of Goguryeo." ”

Gao Zang is not a fool, he has a very good relationship with Gai Suwen, and even came to Liaodong under the order of King Rongliu to spy on Gai Suwen, but he is a very good supervisor, on the surface he is surveillance, but in fact he is in the same stream. But no matter what, he is also a clan, let him rebel and seek to usurp the throne, he really doesn't have the courage to do so. What's more, even if you become the king of Goguryeo, what can you do, isn't this Goguryeo called the shots by Gai Suwen? If you don't get it right, you will be killed by Gai Suwen, in this case, it is better to be an honest courtier.

"I said you could, you could." Gai Suwen did not allow Gaozang to refuse, his eyes were fierce, at this time he had already made up his mind, Goguryeo had reached the verge of life and death, even if he died, Li Xin would not spare the Yuan family because he was executed, and the entire Yuan family would be buried for Gai Suwen. And how could a person like Gai Suwen be willing to be killed, he still has a lot of glory and wealth that he doesn't enjoy, so he was simply killed, how could he be a person.

"This, yes." Gao Zang looked at Gai Suwen's fierce eyes, and had a heart to object, and finally took a deep breath, he knew that Gai Suwen was already surprisingly angry at this time, although he didn't know where he got his information, but the attitude of the DPRK towards Datang has changed a lot during this time, especially after the fall of Xincheng, there are many people who want to hand over Gai Suwen's head and give it to Li Xin, in exchange for the opportunity to withdraw from the Tang Dynasty.

"Very good, from today on, you are the treasure king of my Goguryeo." Gai Suwen suddenly showed a smile on his face, he naturally knew who Gao Zang was, originally he was going to choose a young person from the Gao family as the king of Goguryeo, but in the end he decided to choose Gao Zang, because Gao Zang respected him very much, and the relationship was relatively good, and more importantly, Gao Zang did not like Li Xin, and was even more hostile to the Tang Dynasty, after taking the throne, he would definitely be able to support himself to continue to crusade against the Tang Dynasty.

"Hey, from today on, you will be my Goguryeo Da Mo Lizhi." Takazo sighed deeply. In the past, Gai Suwen inherited his father's official position of Da Xiang Lu, which was equivalent to the prime minister and was in charge of part of the military power, but now, Gao Zang appointed him as the Da Mo Lizhi, not only as the prime minister, not only in charge of the power, but also in charge of this military power, basically as the regent of Goguryeo. Even Gao Zang himself can only be regarded as a puppet existence. Gao Zang knows his identity after all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gai Suwen was very happy after hearing this, and he was even more satisfied with Gaozang's attitude, which clearly regarded himself as a puppet, and handed over all the military and political affairs of Goguryeo to himself, which made him feel Gaozang's sincerity.

King Rongliu didn't know that Liaodong City had undergone earth-shaking changes, and when he came this time, he brought hundreds of civil and military officials, and was ready to personally take his head to Li Xin after killing Gai Suwen, and surrender to Li Xin, so as to keep the Sheji Zongmiao, even if Li Xin came out with harsh conditions, he was also ready to agree, as long as he could keep his Zongmiao Sheji, what could not be promised! As for Gai Suwen is just a military general, even if he has been rampant and domineering all these years, he used to think that he was still somewhat useful, but this time for the sake of Goguryeo Jiangshan, he can only sacrifice this person.

Gai Suwen was not unusual, and led the Wenchen military generals of Liaodong City to bring the Rongliu King into the Liaodong City Guard. reported to King Rongliu about the situation in the new city and the preparations for Liaodong City, and his attitude was even more humble than before, but King Rongliu had already made up his mind to please Li Xin with Gai Suwen's head.

"Does Big Pair Lu think there is any hope of victory on our side?" King Rongliu looked at Gai Suwen and took a deep breath, in the Manchu Dynasty, Gai Suwen was both civil and military, if he could surrender himself, it would be the best, although he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but he still wanted to keep the temple, and he needed Gai Suwen.

"As long as our monarchs and ministers are single-minded, with the strong city defense of Liaodong City, we can definitely resist Li Xin, as long as Li Xin's soldiers and horses are blocked under Liaodong City, as long as it takes a month, Li Xin will have to withdraw his troops, the weather is cold, Li Xin and his men and horses must retreat, and please ask the king to investigate." Gai Suwen's face was calm, and similarly, he also hoped to convince King Rongliu that killing King Rongliu at this time would allow him to completely master Goguryeo, but it was inevitable that some people would not be convinced.

"It is impossible for Datang to defeat." King Rongliu said with a wry smile: "They have a vast geography and a large population, even if you kill the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of you, there is still an army around him, and you can get more than 100,000 troops again in a few years, more than ten years ago, we also defeated Yang Guang and killed his million army, how many years has it been, the Tang Dynasty has made a comeback again, hundreds of thousands of troops have destroyed the new city, and the Yang family father and son sacrificed their lives for the country." Liaodong is certainly stronger than Xincheng, but how long can we resist Li Xin? ”

Gai Suwen's face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "This is your Gao family's temple, does the king think that even if you surrender, Li Xin will spare your Gao family's temple?" How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, this is Li Xin's words, Li Xin will not allow your Gao family to continue to exist, in this case, if you don't fight up, maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”

"This king ceded Liaodong and returned it to Li Xin." King Rongliu said nonchalantly.

But I didn't know that his words completely broke the thoughts in Gai Suwen's heart, his father was once named the Lord of Eastern Goguryeo, and he was in charge of Liaodong for many years, this place has long been the private property of the Yuan family, if it is given to Li Xin, does the Yuan family still have a chance to survive? King Rongliu wanted the Yuan clan to completely lose the country, otherwise, how could he say such a thing.

"Since the king has decided, the minister will obey the order, and the minister will arrange it. The army withdrew from Liaodong. Gai Suwen took a deep breath, his eyes were gloomy, and a trace of murderous intent flashed, since King Rongliu had decided, Gai Suwen could only execute it according to his own plan.

"Okay, it's rare for the general to think about it, and then the king will be relieved." King Rongliu thought that he had persuaded Gai Suwen, and he was very happy in his heart, and said: "In the future, the affairs of the country will need to get rid of the general." "It's still a pleasure to be able to spare Gai Suwen's life and continue to serve himself, and to stay in the king.?

"Yes, the minister retired first." Gai Suwen lowered his head, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and King Rongliu did not see the killing intent of Gai Suwen's eyes.

In any case, King Rongliu is going to capture Gai Suwen at night, even if he won't kill him, he will ask for Gai Suwen's military power, he brought 10,000 soldiers this time, as his own royal forest army, these 10,000 people are stationed around the city guard, as long as he gives an order, he can definitely block the city guard mansion and capture Gai Suwen.

It's a pity that he thinks too highly of himself, and also underestimates Gai Suwen's ambitions, just before the banquet starts, the ghost room Fuxin led a large army to surround the city and defend the mansion, Gai Suwen personally killed King Rongliu, and even killed those who did not support him among the civil and military officials, and the entire Liaodong City was full of blood, with countless casualties, and the shouting of killing did not end until the next morning.

Soon, Gai Suwen announced to the world that King Rongliu had been killed by assassins sent by Li Xin, and ordered the Goguryeo people to rebel against the rule of the Tang army, and established Gaozang as king, who was later known as the Treasure King. The first thing the Treasure King did after ascending the throne was to reward Gai Suwen and make him the Great Mo Lizhi, who was in charge of all the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo.

After Gai Suwen got the holy decree of Gaozang, he opened the treasury of Liaodong Mansion and began to recruit soldiers and horses, and he got 30,000 soldiers and horses in ten days, although these 30,000 people are only young and strong who have not been trained, but many of them are from the mountains and forests to come to the Black Water Warriors, these people are very brave and good at fighting, Gai Sulwen paid a thousand stone of grain, and got three thousand elite Black Water Warriors from the mountains and forests, and there are many Black Water Warriors who continue to come out from the depths of the mountains and ride war horses to join the battle of Goguryeo, Since the beginning of the former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains lost Liaodong, and the bad influence finally came out, these Heishui Masters did not know the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, only knew the power of Goguryeo, with an order from the Yuan clan Gai Suwen, with some very little food, they got the support of the Heishui Arrow, adding a strong army to Liaodong.

This is also the reason why Gai Suwen dared to fight a decisive battle with Li Xin, the Black Water Turtle is very powerful, these people live between the white mountains and black waters, they are born to be powerful archers, powerful warriors, the Yuan clan has spent decades to make the relationship between the Yuan clan and the Black Water Turtle more harmonious, the Yuan clan is based in Liaodong, and every year will give some grain to the Black Water Arrow. This time, Gai Suwen gave the order to recruit soldiers, and the Yuan clan's decades of hard work finally paid off.

When Li Xin's army left the new city, the situation in Liaodong City was finally delivered to Li Xin, Li Xin did not take the death of King Rongliu to heart, even if Gai Suwen did not kill him, Li Xin would not leave this person's life, but when he saw the black water deer coming out of the mountain, his complexion suddenly changed.

In his memory, the Black Water Jar is the later Jurchen Clan, and the Jurchen Man is invincible has been circulated for a long time, and the current Black Water Turtle is basically a group of savages.

"Someone. Let Ji Gang come to see me. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Let Wei Yuancheng and the eldest grandson Wuji also come here." ”

"Yes." Outside the spacious carriage, the sound of horses' hooves soon sounded, and after half a sound, Wei Yuancheng, the eldest grandson Wuji and Ji Gang got into the carriage and sat down in official positions.

"How much do you know?" Li Xin glanced at the three of them and said: "Gai Suwen killed the king of Rongliu, set up the treasure king, and recruited all the people from the Heishui Ya in Liaodong, and now there are 30,000 troops, according to the news, the remaining people from the Heishui Ya tribe will continue to go out of the mountain, plus Gai Suwen's army." ”

"Your Majesty, this person from the Black Water Descent should live between the white mountains and black waters, and there should not be many among the various tribes in Liaodong." Ji Gang hurriedly said. His face showed a hint of panic, Jinyiwei supervises the world, and the Black Water Guard should also be under the supervision of the Jinyi Guard, but in fact, Jinyiwei doesn't know much about the Black Water Guard.

"Your Majesty, this small tribe is only 350,000 people, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation at all." Wei Yuancheng thought for a while and said: "If the Black Water Turtle is a relatively large tribe, Jinyi Wei will not know it, and the minister will probably be desperate to see Gai Suwen, even thirty or fifty thousand people, these people have just joined the army, how can they fight, let alone compete with our Tang army." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji also nodded, but he was more cautious, thought about it and said: "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to this Black Water Arrow, could it be that this Black Water Turtle has any special ability that can make Your Majesty attach so much importance to the other party?" ”

"It's just a group of wild people, but although these people are not trained, they are extremely fierce in battle, they live in barren land all the year round, not only with heaven and earth, but also with wild beasts, between the white mountains and black waters, it is very difficult to survive, to join Gai Suwen's team, probably some tribal warriors, if these people are not careful, they will be our enemies." Li Xin thought for a while and said.

Although Wei Yuancheng and Changsun Wuji obeyed Li Xin on the surface, they actually did not take the Heishui Yan to heart, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting in the south and the north for so many years, fighting from the Central Plains to the southeast, from the southeast to the northwest, to the powerful Turks, Li Xin led the Tang Dynasty army to be invincible, and he didn't know how many strong enemies he had eliminated.

Li Xin would not tell them that these people of the Black Water Sect had raised the Jurchen tribe, invaded the Central Plains twice, and ruled the Central Plains for nearly three hundred years the last time, and their iron cavalry crisscrossed the Central Plains, and the Central Plains army that killed them did not dare to compete with them. Although the current Black Water Deer is very weak, it does not mean that their individual strength is not good.

Sure enough, when the army approached Liaodong City, there were more and more sneak attacks on the road, although each time the loss was a few people, but it was not simple, and these people were all shot to death, bows and arrows were all kinds, and the accuracy was extremely high, even the archers of the Tang Dynasty were not the opponents of these people. It is clearly the means of the black water descent.

The grain road was also attacked by the Black Water Descent, and it was simply that Qin Qiong attached great importance to the grain road and sent a large army to guard the grain road, although it was attacked, but there was not much loss. It's just that this method makes people feel awkward.

At the beginning of October, the army finally arrived at Liaodong City, which at this time had become a fortified city, taller and stronger than the new city that was destroyed at the beginning. This shows that the Tang army is about to face a bitter battle.
