According to Yeon Gaesumun's plan, Baekje was previously in an alliance with Goguryeo, or they could not afford to offend Goguryeo, so the war between Baekje and Silla was mired in the general. Goguryeo wanted to send troops to help them fight, and then Then launch an attack from the northern front of Silla, and on the pretext of attacking together, first send a large number of troops into Baekje.
Then he quickly eliminated some important generals of Baekje with lightning speed, so that he could control a large number of Baekje's troops. After taking Baekje's royal city, Baekje was also controlled by Goguryeo.
At that time, there was only one Silla left. Even if the remaining generals of Goguryeo were idiots, it would not be a problem to capture Silla.
In the process, he will look for opportunities to replace part of the army with his own people, and then buy off some families.
Being able to control 20% of the remaining nearly 50% of the army that was not under his control would be considered as achieving his goal.
Yeon Gae Suwen never thought of completely controlling the army. Gao Jianwu would not agree to it, and other families could easily die, so leaving some part for them was the right thing to do.
As long as he has an absolute advantage and masters the absolute elite, that's all.
In this way, he eliminated the political crisis that he might be targeted. Secondly, he expanded his advantage again and was able to control more Goguryeo troops, making Gao Jianwu unable to get rid of him and could only reuse him.
Third, take advantage of the National Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Silla and Baekje, lay a stable rear for Goguryeo, and then prepare for the possible war with the Tang Dynasty.
It can be said to be a way to kill three birds with one stone.
But Yeon Gaesumun obviously thinks highly of everyone, or he thinks too simplistically of many people. Not everyone will take the overall situation into consideration when their own core interests are damaged.
And some families will be defeated in advance, so Yeon Gaesomun's plan to occupy Baekje went wrong at the beginning.
Before the Goguryeo army entered Baekje, the news had already been revealed. The first batch of Goguryeo troops to enter Baekje were actually beaten first by the Baekje army.
The opponent directly struck first. If it weren't for the fact that the first batch of Goguryeo troops to enter were considered elite, and Baekje's army was too rubbish, it is estimated that this Goguryeo army of about 5,000 people would be completely wiped out.
Even so, this army was defeated and nearly 3,000 people fled and surrendered. Only 2,000 people escaped.
After receiving the news, Yeon Gaeso Moon became a little silent. He obviously looked too high on many people, or in his opinion, many national interests had already been sold out.
He wanted to remove the original generals of these troops by making them unfavorable in combat, and some people also wanted to use the same method to weaken his power, Yeon Gaesumun.
It's just that they got one thing wrong.
Their own strength is very different from that of Yeon Gaesumun.
These idiots! Yeon Gaesumun cursed, you want to weaken me, Yeon Gaesumun, right? It's true that you can't get what you want by working with these idiots.
If this is the case, there are some things that there is no need to endure.
Sure enough, when the battle report was sent back to Goguryeo, some people immediately jumped out to attack Yeon Gaesumun in the court, demanding that Gao Jianwu revoke some of Yeongaesumun's powers, such as command rights, etc., saying that Yeongaesumun Something went wrong with Wen's strategy.
There is no way to keep such a huge act secret.
Yeon Gae So-moon, who was in the court, said nothing, but just begged Gao Jianwu to thoroughly investigate the leak.
Naturally, Gao Jianwu could only be in peace, otherwise what else could he do? He is not a fool. He knows that this attack is unlikely to have any impact on Yun Gaisuwen, or this is just a prelude for some people.
What's more, now that the war between Goguryeo and Baekje Silla has broken out, it's not known what will happen when the news reaches the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Gao Jianwu naturally cannot want to target the only one who can on his side. Fighting, or the best general.
When the country is in danger like this, no one really wants to destroy the ministers and pillars of their country.
Naturally, there could be no results from a court meeting, but what no one expected was that the reason why Yeon Gaesumun was able to perpetrate evil in Goguryeo for so many years was not just based on his outstanding military talents and the strength of his family.
But... outside the palace city of Goguryeo, Yeon Gaesumun had been standing here waiting for someone after he retrieved a few of his swords.
When the group of civil servants who attacked him came out, Yeon Gaesumun went directly to greet them.
"General Yuan..." the minister who took the lead said with a mocking face.
But before he could say anything, Yeon Gaesumun's right hand directly pulled out the Tang Dao from his waist. The sharp Tang Dao flashed a cold light almost instantly, and before anyone could react, he directly He cut hard and accurately through the minister's throat.
Along with the severe pain, and as it was approaching noon, the blood on his neck shot out quickly, directly covering the minister who came out with him with blood.
"Hehe..." The minister who had been sarcastic just now and seemed a little proud did not expect such a situation at all, but the panic on his face at this moment made him only make a weak "Hehe" sound, and he did not even have other words. No sound could come out, and his hands were helplessly covering his neck.
It wasn't until there was a dull sound of "bang" and the minister's body fell to the ground that the other ministers around him took a few steps back in horror and woke up!
Everyone was in disbelief and looked at Yeon Gaesowun with horror. How dare he? How dare he? !
"Yeongae Suwen, how dare you kill an important official of the imperial court in the street!" An older minister finally came to his senses and shouted directly.
The Imperial Guards in the distance had already seen the situation here, and quickly rushed in this direction, surrounding Yeon Gaesumun and the other ministers.
Looking at the imperial troops surrounding them, Yeon Gaesomun sneered and said loudly: "When the country is facing such a major national situation where intelligence is leaked, not only do we not think of ways to deal with the enemy, but we also don't think of ways to rescue and condolences those who died fighting for the country. Soldiers! But they attack wantonly in the court hall and confuse right and wrong!"
"Today, I, Yeon Gaesumun, risk being punished by the king and kill this beast here! How can such people who bring disaster to the country and people have the honor to serve as officials?! And you trash, I am ashamed to be associated with you! You guys These are the ministers who know how to hold back the court. When the country is in danger, they know how to fight internally instead of how to destroy the enemy!"
"The bones of the soldiers who died on the front line are still cold, but you attack and rape your own people. How shameless you are! If you don't repent and can't speak unanimously to the outside world, I will risk being beheaded by the king. I will kill you. !”
After saying that, Yeon Gaesumun turned around and strode away outside the palace! The imperial army that surrounded them finally silently made way for them.
