Silla and Baekje finally had no choice but to surrender under the pressure of the large army, otherwise once the city was broken, death would be waiting for them.
Losing status and wealth are nothing compared to death.
At this point, the war in the Liaodong Peninsula came to an end, and on this day, Luo Zhang also received news from Liu Renyuan. The news stated that Su Wen Gaiyuan and his princess committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and no bones were left.
Seeing this news, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Zhang didn't want such an outstanding person to end up like this, but they have different ways and do not conspire against each other. They belong to two countries and each is his own master. If Su Wen Gaiyuan is not dead, that noble sentence Li will not perish. After all, he is now the monarch of Gaoguli. As long as he is around, he can raise another team and rebuild the country. Luo Zhang does not want to leave any tail.
In Pyongyang City, after the war ended, Li Jing naturally rewarded the three armies. The army rested for three days and caroused for three days. Everyone sang, danced, drank and danced, which was very lively.
In the palace hall, there was naturally no shortage of generals and soldiers celebrating, and it was quite lively as everyone exchanged cups.
This time, we were able to capture Goguryeo so smoothly, and also wiped out Silla and Baekje. To be honest, the credit for all this belongs to Na Zhang.
If it weren't for Luo Zhang's artillery, Cheng Yaojin, as the vanguard, would not have been able to capture Xincheng and Jian'an City so easily, laying the foundation for the subsequent capture of Gaoguli. If they could not capture Xincheng, they would be in a stalemate. Even if they capture Xincheng and cannot capture Jian'an, once they delay the attack, they may not have time to attack Liaodong County.
After all, the winter in Koguryo is very long, and winter naturally enters very early. If they cannot clear the obstacles in front of them as soon as possible, even if they attack Pyongyang City, they will not have time to attack Pyongyang City. The final result It is a pity to retreat, otherwise their 300,000-strong army will freeze to death in Liaodong, just like the previous Emperor Sui Yang, who failed three times and returned home.
In fact, it was all due to the weather in Liaodong. Otherwise, if Luo Zhang and his army could not wait to destroy Gaogouli, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would have already flattened Gaogouli and the entire Liaodong.
If this is true, the Sui Dynasty will not perish so quickly, and the Tang Dynasty will not be established so early. All of this is destined by God.
"Luo Zhang, your artillery has done a great job this time! This thing is really powerful. It destroyed the city wall of Liaodong County with just a few cannons. I was really scared to death at that time. If this thing comes It would be a nightmare to deal with us!" Niu Jinda said with a sigh while holding the wine glass.
"Who says it isn't? It's not like you haven't seen the power of artillery on ships in the distant sea by the Liao River. It can not only bombard city walls, but also bomb people. The Gaoguli people suffered heavy casualties at that time. If they occupied the Liao River On the other side, even if we want to go there, a lot of people will die!" Cheng Yaojin continued.
"Indeed, it was just because we invaded Koguryo so fast that Su Wen Gaiyuan escaped with all the civil and military officials. If not for this, how could there be such a big loophole in Pyongyang City that we could take advantage of? Night The attack was successful and we won it without bloodshed. If we really attack Pyongyang City, even with the help of artillery, we will have to pay a lot of price!" Yuchi Jingde also praised in the same way.
"The contribution of the Royal Navy cannot be forgotten here. They have made a great contribution this time. If they had not wiped out all the Gogouli ships in advance and occupied their ports, Su Wen Gaiyuan would not have been pitiful. He only escaped on a cargo ship. If he escaped on a warship, I'm afraid he would have escaped to the Sun Island by now. Even if we want to destroy him, it will be very difficult." Li Ji followed up and said.
"Fortunately, Su Wen Gaiyuan did not escape in the end. He was bombarded by the Royal Navy and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. This solved a serious problem for us. Otherwise, even if we occupied Liaodong, it would not be considered a full success!" Hou Junji also said He spoke.
"Everyone, you are too humble. I am not as good as you say. Without the dedication of the soldiers, the veteran generals, and the intentions of the soldiers, how could it be possible to capture Gaogouli so easily, let alone the failure later? Silla and Baekje surrendered in the battle, so the credit is not small!" Luo Zhang said modestly as he picked up his wine glass.
"Okay, let's stop praising each other. Everyone has contributed. This time, no one can be left without credit, and they are all great contributions. Big contributions!"
"Come, let's drink this cup together!" Li Jing stood up and suggested, holding up the wine glass.
