"Father, my son is willing to fight to the death with Li Jing here!" Gao Zhaokang lowered his head and said in a solemn tone.

Gao Dexin finally couldn't control his emotions anymore, took off the boots on his feet, and smashed them directly on his son's head.

"Idiot, I used to think you were smart, but now you're so stupid. Regardless of whether Li Jing really has an army of 500,000 or not, even if he brings 5,000 soldiers and horses, do you think you can hold it? Either you simply surrender to Li Jing, or you immediately pack up your things and return to Bohai immediately with the whole clan, at least, the whole clan can still have a safe life. ”

Although Gao Zhaokang was unwilling, he remembered that last year he led 3,000 elites to defend the mountain city, but as a result, Li Jing took the extremely dangerous mountain city without a single soldier. After all, a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, and he finally listened to his father's words and planned to return to Bohai Country with the whole clan.

On the one hand, Gao Zhaokang asked people to prepare, but on the other hand, he sent troops to surround the post house where Li Jing's envoy lived, preparing to kill them to relieve the hatred in his heart. However, as soon as the people were fenced up, several of his father's hometown generals hurried to the horse.

"The head of the family has an order, please stop immediately, and don't hurt the messenger!" The old man shouted loudly.

Gao Zhaokang's face darkened, "Father can take care of these little things!" ”

"Childe, things have changed, I just got an urgent report, Langu Mountain City has been lost, and the head of the family asks Childe to go back to the house immediately to discuss matters." Home will be quietly reported.

Gao Zhaokang was shocked, why did the Tang army move so fast. The Gao family still controls five mountain cities, four of which are in the area of Longtan Mountain, but only Langu Mountain City is in the south. It is not far from Daxing Island and the lower reaches of the Fuzhou River occupied by Li Jing. Although I didn't think that Langu Mountain City could block the Tang army. But that's too fast. Although there were only five hundred armoured soldiers in the city. But there are thousands of young and strong, and there are still 20,000 people. With the danger of the mountain city, how can you keep it for a month or two.

Hurriedly returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Dexin's face was gloomy.

"Father!" Gao Zhaokang stepped forward to salute.

"Is Li Jing's messenger still there?" Gao Dexin asked.

"It's all still there, just surrounded, and it hasn't come to kill yet."

"That's good." AutoNavi News breathed a sigh of relief. "Gao An, you go to the post house immediately, and give the messenger a fright to make amends. Let's just talk about a misunderstanding. ”

After the family general left, Gao Dexin sighed, "Langu Mountain City is lost!" ”

"I've got it."

"But do you know how many people the Tang army captured and how much time it took to capture Langu Mountain City?" Gao Dexin lowered his head and tapped the ground with the sandalwood staff in his hand, "Zhao Li, the right vanguard of the Tang Army's front army, led the five thousand flying bear army to arrive at the foot of Langu Mountain City yesterday morning, and then launched an attack without eating breakfast, and it took less than half an hour to take the mountain city, and then eat breakfast directly in the city!" ”

"How is this possible?" Gao Zhaokang was incredulous, "It must be the Langu Mountain City Guard's Che Ji surrender to the enemy!" ”

"The season has followed me for years. My ancestors have been my Gao family generals for generations, and he did not betray the Gao family. He was killed in the battle with the Don Army! Gao Dexin muttered, his eyes full of pain.

"The Tang army's offensive is too fast, and Li Jing's forward will arrive at Jili City in less than three days. If we want to escape to the Bohai Sea, it seems that it will not work. Halfway through, we will be chased by the Tang army. Let's surrender Li Jing! ”

Gao Zhaokang shook his head: "Father, we can take refuge in the Khitans, the Khitans have risen rapidly in recent years, although Li Jing is strong, I don't think he can be the enemy of the Khitans." The Khitans have also always wanted to get involved in the invasion of Liaodong, and with our Goguryeo royal family, defecting to them will definitely get good results. ”

Although Gao Dexin is extremely weak in the midst of his injury, his mind is very clear. The Khitan is indeed very powerful, but the Khitan is a Hu tribe and has not yet been fully civilized. If they defect to these people, maybe the Khitans will treat them well in the short term, but in the long run, these Hu people will never really treat them well. Especially since they have just been defeated by the Khitan, they defect to the Khitan at this time, and they will not be taken seriously.

On the contrary, Li Jing, although he seems to be not as strong as the Khitan, but looking at Li Jing's previous experience, this is a very potential person. Especially Li Jing is not alone, there is a more powerful Tang Dynasty behind him. At present, when Li Jing goes north, he must also recover the old land of Andong, and even directly confront the Khitans. If their Gao family is the first to surrender at this time, then the Goguryeo people who surrendered first, especially the descendants of the Goguryeo royal family, will be treated well and reused.

Moreover, although Li Jing took away his son's wife, Li Jing's reputation has always been good, and he is a man with great ambitions, so it is definitely better to defect to him than to defect to Khitan.

As for going to the Bohai Sea, he may not have escaped Li Jing's pursuit. Second, unless the Gao family does not plan to make a comeback, there is really no future to go to the Bohai Sea, which is already twilight.

After Gao Dexin's careful analysis and explanation, although Gao Zhaokang was reluctant in his heart, he still accepted his father's decision in the end. He immediately went to apologize to the envoy, presented the surrender table, and formally surrendered to Li Jing.

The valley next to the road in southern Liaoning on the bank of the Shahe River, the camp of the Chinese army in the Northern Expedition.

The weather in July was exceptionally hot, and after swimming in the sand river for half a day, Li Jing finally felt much refreshed. Lying on the hammock tied to the tree, looking at the good news of the former army just sent by Gongsun Lan, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Li, the right vanguard of the former army, is worthy of being a famous general in Li Jing's memory, not only the most capable general in the late Tang Dynasty, but even if he is placed in the position of a striker now, he still plays so well.

The left and right armies of the front army set off at the same time, and Zeng Yuanyu, a general that Li Jing valued very much, led the 5,000 elite Shenjie army he brought from Chang'an, but the result was not as fast as the Flying Bear Army led by Zhao Lixin.

Zhao Li was the first to arrive at Langgu Mountain City in the south of the five cities occupied by Gao Dexin in Jili Prefecture, and Zeng Yuanyu arrived half a day later than Zhao Li.

The Flying Bear Army arrived in the morning, and Zhao Li arrived in the afternoon.

The result was such a small difference of half a day, and when Zeng Yuanyu's five thousand Shenjie troops arrived at the foot of Langu City, the banner of the Flying Bear Army had already been planted at the head of the city, and Zhao Li had already laid down the mountain city and had breakfast in the city, and he had already spent the morning counting the prisoners, money, food, and people in the city.

Li Jing was lying in the hammock, and he could imagine the wonderful expressions on Zeng Yuanyu and his Shenjie Army when they found out about this situation. Speaking of which, the Shenjie Army still has some old soldier habits, and the training is not thorough enough, it seems that after the end of this Northern Expedition, the Shenjie Army will have to be reorganized again, and all the habits in these forbidden armies will be changed.

But to be honest, Li Jing was also quite surprised when he saw this battle report.

It only took Zhao Li to lead the Flying Bear Army in half an hour to capture a mountain city with a circumference of several miles and built on a dangerous mountain. There were 500 armored guards in the city, and more than 2,000 young and strong. After the First World War, the Flying Bear Army annihilated more than 200 armored soldiers and more than 300 young and strong. The Flying Bear Army itself died no more than 20 people, and only 30 people were seriously wounded. The ratio of deaths to death has reached an astonishing one to ten.

Zhao Li's first battle was too good, after this battle, I believe that there are no more generals in the Zhenguo Army who suspect that Li Jing worked hard to dig this half-hundred veteran general, and specially promoted him to be the leader of the Flying Bear Army.

As Zhao Li captured Langu Mountain City, Gao Dexin in Jili City also immediately replied to Li Jing, handed over the surrender chart, and officially surrendered.

The two generals Zhao Li and Zeng Yuanyu had already rushed to Jili Prefecture and successfully accepted Gao's surrender of the city.

Jili Mountain City, Seongsan Mountain City, Goryeo Mountain City, Deli Mountain City, the last four mountain cities in the hands of the Gao clan have also been received!

The entire Jili Prefecture has been fully grasped by Li Jing.

"This Gao Dexin is still a man who knows the times, since this is the case, I will send a letter to the two pioneers, and we must ensure the property and safety of the Gao family, we have to be trustworthy."

Gongsun Lan chuckled, "You take people's wives, and you dare to keep them, aren't you afraid that other people's husbands will kill them with a sword?" ”

Li Jing smiled, believing that the Gao family knew how to choose. The Gao family was still very happy that they were willing to surrender to Li Jing, and in the hometown of Goguryeo, or in the old land of Andong, the influence of the Goguryeo nobles was still very great. Especially on both sides of the Yalu River, there are many Goguryeo nobles who are powerful. Li Jing hopes to make good use of the influence of the Xia Gao family, so that he can take these places more easily without having to fight one city at a time.

Three days later, Li Jing's Chinese army arrived at Jili Mountain City, Wang Chongsuo led the left army, and Lin Wusuo led the right army, which also arrived at Jili City one day earlier.

Zhao Li and Zeng Yuanyu and the Gao clan and the original Jili Prefecture civil and military have gone out of the city and down the mountain to welcome Li Jing's arrival, Gao Dexin and other generals have bowed to Li Jing, Li Jing dismounted and helped Gao Dexin and others up one by one. When he helped Gao Zhaokang up, Li Jing saw the hatred in his eyes, but he only smiled back.

After entering the city, the first thing Li Jing did was to immediately announce that the original land of Jili Prefecture would be changed to Jizhou, with four counties: Bihe County, Shahe County, Fu County, and Zhuanghe County. Li Jing appointed Li Liang as the assassin of Jizhou, Zhao Li as the defense envoy of Jizhou, and Xiao Kai as the envoy. The county order of the four counties, Li Jing directly transferred the four sages to take office, with Sikong Tu as the county commander of Bihe, Wei Zhuang as the county commander of Shahe, Luo Yin as the county commander of Fu County, and Han Wu as the county commander of Zhuanghe.

As for Goguryeo's 3,000 soldiers and horses, Li Jing temporarily organized them into the auxiliary army. Gao Dexin was sent back to Dengzhou for medical treatment by Li Jing on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries, and although Gao Zhaokang and other Goguryeo nobles were left to counsel for military affairs, their families were all sent back to Dengzhou and were regarded as hostages.

Li Jing gave these Goguryeo noble generals a lot of ranks, but they did not confer any substantive positions. However, although they were not given any actual positions, these people were resolutely taken by Li Jing in the barracks and placed by his side in the name of counselor military affairs.

After taking Jili Prefecture so smoothly, Li Jing's eyes immediately looked at the land of Jian'an Prefecture occupied by the Lianra tribe of the Khitan Diera! (To be continued......)
