"Please take a look, general." Liu Zhao took out the Tang sword, and then made a movement to hold the blade with his left hand.
"Okay..." A smile appeared on Yuan Gaisu Wen's face, and he was about to reach out. The moment he reached out, Liu Zhao suddenly stabbed forward with the knife in his right hand, with lightning speed, He thrust the long knife forward like lightning!
Liu Zhao had practiced this move countless times. As a professional assassin, his health was not bad.
Yeon Gaesumun didn't even think that Liu Zhong would betray him, or in other words, his brain didn't even think about it. When the silver light on the blade came into view, he had no time to react.
With a "Puff" sound, the sharp knife easily pierced his throat, trachea and neck from the front, and exited directly from the back of his neck.
"Cough...ho..." Yeon Gaesowen wanted to say something, but he could no longer say anything. Air poured in from his tracheal wound, and blood foam mixed with blood began to flow out. When he came out, Yeon Gaesubun instinctively stretched out his hands to cover the wound on his neck.
But Liu Zhao pulled out the long knife without hesitation, and blood surged out from his fingers.
"Kick...kick..." Yeon Gaesumun's body stumbled, and his strong body, dressed in gorgeous armor and carrying five long knives to show his ferocity and majesty, had no effect.
Until there was a "pop", his body fell on the city wall like a dead dog, and the blood instantly dyed a large area of the city wall red.
The surrounding generals who were following Yeon Gaesumun to inspect the situation outside the city were all stunned. After they reacted, they subconsciously pulled out the long swords at their waists.
The soldiers stationed on the city wall nearby were also shocked. They all knew Liu Zhao, but they didn't know why Liu Zhao did this.
The brothers who followed Liu Zhao and the soldiers who had instigated rebellion also drew out the long knives at their waists and stared vigilantly at the generals and other soldiers on the opposite side of the city.
"Put down the weapon." Liu Zhao looked at the brothers behind him and then said.
The brothers beside him hesitated for a moment, and finally put their knives down one after another.
"Why?!" the defending general on the opposite side asked in disbelief.
"There is no reason, I just want to kill him. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Ever since he sent me to the Tang Dynasty to assassinate King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, but in order to avoid being blamed by the Tang Dynasty and find any evidence, after we left, dozens of us were As soon as all the family members of this brother, including several villages, were massacred, I wanted to kill him." Liu Zhao said calmly.
The general who defended the city was stunned when he heard this.
He can be considered a faction of Yeon Gaesumun, but he really doesn’t know about this matter. But Liu Zhao took the initiative to put down his weapon, which meant... this shouldn't be a lie.
"Brothers, do you really want to sacrifice your life for him?" Liu Zhao pointed at Yeon Gaesumun lying there and asked.
"Is he a good general? Is he really good to you? Do you know how many people he killed to gain military power? So, I killed him, do you want to avenge him?" Liu Zhao did not look at these few people The general looked at all the ordinary soldiers stationed near the tower who had witnessed all this and asked.
The eyes of these soldiers were confused and shocked. Just now, they subconsciously aimed their weapons at Liu Zhao and others. After all, Yeon Gaesumun was the commander-in-chief of the Goguryeo soldiers.
But following Liu Zhao's words, a soldier finally silently put down the weapon in his hand, or in other words, he took back the weapon in his hand.
With one soldier taking the lead, the other soldiers quickly made the same choice.
A small lieutenant next to these soldiers looked at the general guarding the city, then looked at Liu Zhao, and then spoke: "General Liu, what do you think we should do?"
Liu Zhao knew very well what this school captain meant. The general who defended the city, who was their immediate superior, was feeling numb at the moment. He certainly knew what the lower-level officers under him meant by asking this question.
If Liu Zhong spoke at this time, I am afraid that the weapons of these defenders would be aimed at him.
"Look, you have never been popular with the people. You can't even win the hearts of ordinary soldiers. Who is willing to fight for you?" Liu Zhao looked at him and said.
The city guard general silently put down the long knife in his hand.
"I have the imperial edict of His Majesty Gao Jianwu here. He decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty." Liu Zhao took out the imperial edict written by Gao Jianwu from his arms.
"I know that none of you want to fight, and His Majesty Gao Jianwu also knows that you don't want to fight. After all, we have no chance of winning, and he doesn't want you to die in vain, so he decided to surrender to Datang."
"What's your name?" Liu Zhao looked at the captain who spoke just now.
"Hu San."
"Hu San, lead your men and notify all the soldiers along the way. Tell them to put down their weapons and gather at the city gate. Under His Majesty's orders, Yeon Gaesowun tried to rebel and was killed! Now His Majesty does not want everyone to sacrifice in vain, so he decided Surrender to the Tang Dynasty! Let them throw their weapons over the city wall and then gather at the military camp in the city!"
Liu Zhao directly opened the imperial edict in his hand, then showed it to the general guarding the city, and then handed the imperial edict directly to the school captain.
"Yes!" The captain was silent for a moment, and then he took the imperial edict and went to read the order along the city wall.
"General Jin, please go to the military camp below the city and read out the order to them." Liu Zhao took out another imperial edict.
"I understand, General Liu, in the future... if there is a chance, we can still be alive, I will treat you to a drink, General Liu. You are right, we have never had a chance of winning." The city guard general gave a bitter smile, and then He took the imperial edict that Liu Zhao took out and left in a hurry.
Liu Zhao looked at the commotion on the city walls on both sides of the city.
But soon, someone threw the weapons out of the city.
As long as someone takes the lead, more and more soldiers will throw their bows, arrows, spears, etc. out of the city.
Soon, weapons rained down on Pyongyang.
As for Yeon Gaesumun who died on the city wall, no one was willing to take a second look at him.
Naturally, Li Shiji and others outside the city got the news quickly. Li Shiji, who took out his binoculars and saw this scene, couldn't help but smile: "It seems that General Liu Zhao has succeeded. The broken city smuggled into the city by the Intelligence Department Lei has no use for it."
"Yes, who would have thought that this was originally the most difficult battle, but it ended so easily. I can only say that His Highness is wise." Li Daozong said with emotion.
"Let's go, Prince Li. It's time for us to enter the city. Once we capture Pyongyang City, we will report the good news to His Majesty and His Highness." Li Shiji said with a smile.
