In the palace and royal study room, Eunuch Huang ran in overjoyed, shouting about the great victory in the north.
Hearing Eunuch Huang's words, Li Shimin was slightly startled, then quickly walked towards Eunuch Huang, grabbed the silk cloth from Eunuch Huang's hand and inspected it.
When he saw the message from Li Jing on the silk cloth, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and said: "Okay, okay, I received two pieces of good news in one day. God is really blessing me, Tang Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty! Your majesty has brought great blessings to the heavens, and our Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for thousands of years!" Eunuch Huang immediately boasted.
"The Weishui Alliance is my shame. I have endured the humiliation for so many years and finally avenged my shame. Li Jing is good, Luo Zhang is even better. They are all good. They are all good!" Li Shimin held the silk cloth tightly with his right hand, which shows his mood. What a thrill.
"Send a message to Li Jing, asking him to capture the Turkic King for me. If I want him alive, please escort him to Chang'an!" Li Shimin ordered to Eunuch Huang.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Li Shimin received the report of the northern war, the armies of Dongying people and Gaoguli people in Langya County had also arrived at the foot of a hill five miles away from the county town.
General Jin, Jun and Zuo Tian were looking intently at Langya County City under the night.
They did not attack immediately, but were waiting for something.
"General Jin, Jun, there shouldn't be any problems in your house, right? It's already passed the hour, why haven't the city gates been opened yet?" Zuo Tian looked at General Jin beside him, Jun asked.
General Jin, Jun pondered for a moment and said: "This man is from Gaoguli. He has been doing business in the Tang Dynasty all year round. He seems to be a businessman, but in fact he is my Gaoguli's secret agent. There is also someone in Langya County. He has a lot of manpower and has good relationships with many people in the city. I guess what is holding him back, there shouldn’t be any problems!”
"Then let's wait. If we can't do anything, we can only give up. Langya County is not easy to attack. We don't have large-scale siege weapons. Attacking such a county will cause heavy losses." Zuo Tian said slowly .
"Of course I know this. If nothing can be done, I will not attack Langya County!" General Jin nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a fast horse rushed over, shouting: "General, the city gate is open, the city gate is open, hurry! Attack quickly! If it is too late, something will happen!"
Hearing this, General Jin, Jun and Zuo Tian were overjoyed. Without further discussion, they each commanded their own troops and rushed toward the east gate of Langya County.
At this time, Langya County has a curfew, and there is no one on the streets. Only the officers and soldiers guarding the city are patrolling over and over again.
At this moment, streaks of flames burst into the sky from the east gate, shocking the defenders in the city.
In the city lord's mansion, the county guard had just fallen asleep, but before he could fall asleep, he was woken up by his housekeeper.
"Guardian, something bad has happened, the enemy! The enemy has invaded!"
"What? Enemy? Where did the enemy come from? What attack came in?" Hearing this, the county guard suddenly woke up.
"The Japanese and Gaoguli people have invaded the city. Now they have entered through the east gate. We can't resist them at all. Let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late!" the housekeeper said anxiously.
"How is it possible? How could they come in through the east gate?" the county guard said with some disbelief.
"It was the grain merchant surnamed Cui who led his men to open the city gate and let the enemy in! Sheriff, now is not the time to talk about this. Leave quickly. Our troops cannot resist it. The enemy is too strong. Too many!" The housekeeper pulled the county guard up and dragged him out. The courtyard was already crowded with people, and everyone came out of the house. Apparently they also knew the news.
Seeing the county guard coming out, everyone gathered around and asked the county guard what to do.
The county guard couldn't care about them at this time. After saying that they should escape for their lives, he was helped by the steward onto the horse and fled towards the north of the city.
In the city, the heads of the major families who gathered in the city were shocked after hearing the news. They did not expect that the city would be captured. They had discussed it well before, holding the city in hand and waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Why did the city fall so quickly? What's up?
They couldn't understand that the news was not as well-informed as the county guard, but they had one thing in common with the county guard, that is, they ran fast. As soon as they got the news, these family heads ran towards the west gate with some valuables. , they are close to the west gate, so this is naturally the first choice.
In the east of the city, a large number of Japanese and Gaoguli people rushed into the city, burning, killing and looting in the city. Although the soldiers in the city were struggling to resist, it was to no avail. There were too many enemies and they could not resist at all. They only have 5,000 troops, so they are no match for the 20,000 Japanese and Koguryo people.
The guards of the major families were not responsible for the resistance in the city, and had already fled out of the city with the family heads as soon as possible.
After being unable to resist, the soldiers in the city also began to evacuate, which meant that there was no resistance in the entire Langya County. The guards of Langya County handed Langya County over to the Gaoguli people and Dongying people.
The night passed quickly. At dawn, the Japanese and Gaoguli people completely occupied Langya County, which made them overjoyed.
Especially Zuo Tian. Yesterday he was still worried about his uncertain future, but now, he is no longer worried. Just like General Jin said, with so many people in Langya County and Langya County City as bargaining chips, he did not believe that the Tang Emperor would ignore it. The life and death of the people, do not let them leave,
Hundreds of miles away from Langya County, this is where the imperial army is gathering. In one day, they will be able to rush to the rescue of Langya County. At this time, they have been attacking day and night for two days and two nights. Today is the day to rest, so Have the energy to go to Langya County to meet the enemy.
But at dawn, the reinforcement general received the news that Langya County City had been breached, which shocked him. Langya County City had been breached, so why did he rush to rescue him?
The news was sent to Chang'an by flying pigeons as soon as possible. This matter was too important and he was not able to make a decision.
At noon, a large number of family heads who had escaped from Langya County met them. After asking some questions, these family heads did not know how Langya County City was lost. They only heard that Gao Gouli suddenly appeared in the city. The Japanese and Japanese invaded the city, and they could only take their children and flee through the west gate.
As for the governor of Langya County, he did not flee north. After leaving the city, he fled to the west. He was planning to go a hundred miles west before fleeing south and losing Langya County. This was a serious crime of beheading. You can imagine how furious His Majesty would be if Langya County was lost. If he returned to the court, he would definitely be arrested. He would have to flee south and remain anonymous, hoping to spend the rest of his life!
