"Zhang Liang, you are so presumptuous!"
Li Ji shouted loudly and started clapping the case.
"His Majesty was extraordinarily merciful to you in the last incident. He allowed you to perform meritorious deeds. This is already a great favor. But now you are still stubborn and even question His Majesty's decision?"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Facing Li Ji's questioning, everyone present looked at him with their eyes, nose and heart, as if they didn't hear it.
Zhang Liang blushed even more and said angrily: "Li Ji, don't think that you can spit blood on others now that you are the commander of the army. When did I question His Majesty's decision? I just don't accept that young boy Ji Song. "
"Also, don't think that I don't know. If you follow that boy to make a fortune, of course you are going to him. I just don't accept that he is the commander of the navy, even in front of His Majesty..."
"Oh, it turns out the roots are here!"
Niu Jinda sneered and said, "It's because I'm jealous when I see others getting rich. I asked you why you specifically seek out that guy Ji Song to bring bad luck to you. That's what happened!"
"Snapped!"
Niu Jinda slapped the case and said, "But you are going to make a fortune too? They just want to make a fortune with you, but with all those lawless things in your family, who dares to call you?"
"At the beginning, I thought Ji Song was too soft-hearted. If he were to put it in my hands, even if he pulled out all those things and chopped them off, no one would be wronged."
"It doesn't matter if you are ungrateful, why should you target me everywhere?"
"you............."
When Zhang Liang was picked up by Niu Jinda, his face suddenly lost its expression. He pointed at him and wanted to curse.
"okay."
Li Ji stopped him with a headache.
"I will report this to Your Majesty. Our army is still at war. If anyone dares to make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Everyone, get down!"
Li Ji waved his hand, really not interested in talking to him anymore.
I think Zhang Liang was also one of his people back then, and he was his subordinate in Wagang Village. But who would have thought that a simple and honest peasant man would turn into this after becoming wealthy?
After sitting down, I wanted to report this matter to the emperor, but after mentioning it several times, I finally sighed.
If His Majesty knew about this matter, Zhang Liang would definitely not be able to get it right. He might be punished for several crimes and lose his life!
After all, it was the old brother from Wagang Village who couldn't do it!
"Come here, let me know. We will set off on time tomorrow at 10:00. The target is Liaodong City!"
........................................
Liaodong City, City Lord's Mansion.
Gao Yuan sat at the top, surrounded by the main generals of Liaodong City on his left and right.
"Tell me everything!"
Gao Yuan's face was expressionless. He was not surprised at all by Tang Dynasty's second expedition to Liaodong.
Yeon Gaesomun is now Da Moliji, and the King of Goryeo should not be deposed. The Emperor of Tang was angered, and now that he had an excuse, how could he let Goguryeo off so easily?
All the west of the Liao River fell into the hands of the Tang army. The Liaodong Peninsula also had a naval fleet led by Ji Song, the good emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Shacheng had been lost. If Jili City and Shicheng were lost, half of the land of the Liaodong Peninsula had been lost.
Although the stone city is strong, how long can the Tang army hold it if they do whatever it takes?
The same is true for Anshi City, but Anshi City must not lose anything. Once Anshi City falls, the land north of Changbai Mountain will no longer be owned by Goguryeo.
This was Yeon Gae So-moon's fault, but the Tang army had already arrived, and it was too late to say anything.
"What else can we do? Kill! Didn't Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty personally lead a million-strong army to invade our country? But what was the result? Didn't we abandon our armor and flee in embarrassment?"
"Yes, with us in Liaodong City, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty will never think of conquering Liaodong..."
..................................................
Gao Yuan let them quarrel, and when everyone realized something was wrong, they looked at Gao Yuan.
"Why don't you quarrel anymore? Aren't you all very capable? If you can beat Tang Jun in the quarrel, I will personally take you to quarrel."
"Look at them all!"
He handed a document to everyone and asked them to take a good look at it.
"This is.........."
We were all shocked when we saw the above content!
"This is impossible?"
"Destroying the city overnight? This is simply impossible!"
"Although Shacheng is not a big city, there are at least five thousand soldiers in it. How can we not be able to hold on for a day?"
"What other shocking thunder, the city wall collapsed dozens of feet? Who sent this battle report? I simply don't know what it means."
"Report............"
While everyone was arguing, an emergency call came from outside.
An emergency messenger supported by two soldiers was brought to the crowd.
"What's going on? Where did it come from?"
Gao Yuan quickly stood up and asked.
He had an ominous premonition at this moment. Could it be...
"Go back to the general..."
The person who was helped in was covered in injuries, which showed how much hardship he had endured along the way.
He said with difficulty: "General, go and save the city lord and the others..."
"Who to save? Please tell me quickly!"
Gao Yuan now lost his calmness and asked hurriedly.
"Jili City is gone... There was a thunder and the city wall collapsed. We couldn't even defend it for a day... The sky was filled with smoke and dust, and countless broken limbs and broken arms fell from the sky. .....all dead...all dead..."
A man stepped forward and tested his nose for a moment, then whispered: "Dead..."
Gao Yuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "It thundered again, and the city wall collapsed again. Who can tell me what happened?"
This thing is so weird. There was a thunder and the city wall collapsed, just like the sand city. But until now they don't know what Tang Jun did.
If this matter is not clarified, Liaodong City will be in danger!
"Check it, go check it out for me. If you can't find out clearly, don't come back."
Gao Yuan was furious, and he was a little scared. When had he ever been afraid of people on the surface? But this incident revealed something strange. What caused the thunder, and how did the city wall collapse?
He didn't believe that the Tang Dynasty had any power of ghosts and gods. If so, why didn't the Sui army use it back then?
Others have also woken up. If it were Shacheng, it could still be called a coincidence, but now the same is true for Jili City. It is definitely not a coincidence.
But now there is no other way, we can only wait for the investigation to be clear...
They waited for three days. Just when Gao Yuan was getting anxious, the people who went out to investigate came back.
But when he saw the person coming, even he was shocked!
"How did you become like this?"
The visitor only had one arm left at this time, and his face was pale, obviously due to excessive blood loss.
"Quick, call the doctor..."
This man is his retainer, and he has been in his family for three generations. It can be said that he is his most trusted subordinate. Seeing his current appearance, Gao Yuan's heart was as sharp as a knife.
"Master, no need...I won't live long...ahem..."
He said with difficulty: "Master, I found out..."
"It's a thing called gunpowder... It has great power... They secretly buried the gunpowder under the city wall, and they didn't know how to collapse the city wall. ....."
"Master...you...be careful..."
With tears in his eyes, Gao Yuan caressed his retainer's eyes and said harshly: "Li Shimin... I, Gao Yuan, and you are incompatible..."
