But what Li Jing didn't expect was that after Changsun Chong learned that the Green River was actually frozen and that Li Jing led his army to the other side of the river without any hindrance, his first thought was to escape instead of confronting Li Jing in front of Pyongyang City.
If he knew Chang Sun Chong's thoughts, Li Jing might not even know how to build an igloo and would launch an attack directly.
It was such a coincidence that when Li Jing led his army to Pyongyang City the next day, only a group of generals from the Western Turks guarded the city.
These Western Turkic generals were also unaware that the king, who had given them orders yesterday to defend the city until the weather turned cold and Li Jing's army would naturally retreat, was not in the city at all at the moment.
Instead, he took some confidants and left the city at dawn, heading for a port in the east.
There are some offshore ships captured when they occupied Gaoguli controlled by the Tang army.
These ships were originally used to transport goods between Datang and Gaoguli, but now they were being used by Changsun Chong.
When the sun was shining high, Changsun Chong had already boarded an offshore ship and headed for Japan.
In Pyongyang City, the Western Turkic generals desperately resisted the Tang army's attack. However, Li Jing did not attack Pyongyang at all, but kept bombarding Pyongyang City with artillery.
At the same time, catapults were set up to throw wooden lumps at the city of Pyongyang.
This two-pronged attack made the soldiers of the Western Turks miserable.
If you climb the city wall and resist, you will die. If you don't resist, you will die if the Tang army comes in.
For this reason, some Western Turkic generals went to the palace to meet their king and asked if they could withdraw their troops.
However, when they arrived at the palace, they found that the palace was already empty and their king was not at the palace at all.
As soon as the news came out, the Western Turks soldiers had no intention of defending the city. After opening the southern city gate, tens of thousands of Western Turkic troops abandoned the city and fled towards the south.
This made Li Jing a little confused. He didn't know what Changsun Chong was up to, why he abandoned the city and fled, and where could they escape?
This is Pyongyang, the Liaodong Peninsula. Escape to the south is a dead end. The only possibility is to leave by sea ship.
Thinking of this, Li Jing immediately ordered a pursuit and at the same time sent people to rush to the port to blockade the port. Changsun must not be able to escape.
However, it backfired. After blocking the escape route of the Western Turkic Army, the Western Turkic Army surrendered directly.
From the mouths of these people, Li Jing naturally learned that Chang Sun Chong had escaped long ago, and Li Jing was so angry that he smashed his beloved inkstone.
Changsun Chong escaped. Although he won the victory and recaptured Gaoguli, it was not considered a full achievement. Changsun Chong would be in harm's way if he existed for one day.
If he leaves and Changsun Chong comes back to make trouble, is it possible that he will come back again?
Thinking about Li Jing gave him a headache, but now even if he wanted to look for Changsun Chong, he couldn't find him. Who knew where Changsun Chong had gone in the vast sea.
There is no way to solve this matter. We can only take one step at a time and clean up Gaogouli first.
The news spread back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
When Luo Zhang got the news, his realm had reached the peak of the True Yuan Realm. With just a few adjustments, he could launch an attack on the Xiantian Realm.
Luo Zhang naturally felt regretful when he learned that Chang Sun Chong had run away, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who knew that Chang Sun Chong would run away? Li Jing would not predict it, but it would not be easy for Chang Sun Chong who had lost his army to make waves even if he wanted to. of.
However, Luo Zhang immediately thought of a person, Su Wen Gaiyuan. This old boy was not alone, but he had raised a team of people in Japan and occupied a large area of Japan.
No, Chen Kuifeng had just been sent to Japan. Without innate suppression, Su Wen Gaiyuan was invincible. Even if his troops were wiped out, Su Wen Gaiyuan could still live well.
This old boy is a ruthless person, even more so than Changsun Chong, and the two of them have the same characteristic, that is, they were both made eunuchs by Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang also thought that Changsun Chong would run to Japan, but it was not that easy to go to Japan. Besides, even if Changsun Chong went to Japan, what would happen?
At that moment, Luo Zhang wrote a letter of divorce and sent it to Japan, telling Liu Renyuan that once he found out that his eldest grandson had rushed to Japan, he told Chen Kuifeng not to have any scruples and just bring his head back.
In the same way, Su Wen Gaiyuan also gave the same order, only the head was needed, life or death was not concerned.
