"Defend this city!"

Li Xuan said directly.

"But King Jin, one hundred miles north of Beisha City, there is a big city in Goguryeo, the cave city, with [-] troops stationed; two hundred miles to the south, there is also a small city in Goguryeo, Shepherd City!"

Li Xiaogong said quickly, "We only have more than a thousand people, and there are at least thousands of Goguryeo people in Beisha City! These Goguryeo people like hunting. If the Goguryeo army comes to attack, these Goguryeo people suddenly rebel. I don't have to resist those Goguryeo people." The army, even these common people can't beat it!"

"Thousands of people?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan raised his head and looked into the city.

Sure enough, although many Goguryeo people were hiding in the houses, he could still feel that there were still many Goguryeo people secretly watching them inside those houses.

"Cheng Duanbo, how many armored weapons have you seized?"

Li Xuan's expression froze, and he asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Jin, [-] for the pocket and armor, [-] for long spears and square shields, and [-] for daggers, sword darts and other throwing weapons!"

"Very good!"

After hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slowly, "Split Douhou and Jia to those Zhechong soldiers who lack armor and douhou. As for the boatmen who came with them, they will also share a share!"

"Thank you king!"

Cheng Duanbo, Shi Chen and the others were overjoyed.

"Wei Sanlang!"

Then, Li Xuan shouted again.

"The little guy is here!"

The lieutenant general of Goguryeo who surrendered hurriedly ran over with a charming smile on his face.

"I don't know what orders this nobleman has?"

Li Xuan glanced at Wei Sanlang indifferently, and then asked: "This king is the Jin king of the Tang Dynasty. Since this king has already broken through Beisha City, he wants to completely occupy Beisha City. What can you do?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong and others were startled.

And Wei Sanlang is also full of surprise, you have captured me and others, and you still ask me this kind of question?

"No?"

Before Wei Sanlang could speak, Li Xuan's expression darkened.

In an instant, Wei Sanlang felt a murderous aura coming towards him, and after regaining consciousness, he met Li Xuan's cold eyes, Wei Sanlang shuddered subconsciously, and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

"The villain sees His Royal Highness King Jin. The villain has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, so he does not know that His Royal Highness Jin is here in person. He has offended him so much. Please forgive him by His Royal Highness Jin."

Li Xuan looked even more impatient.

Seeing this, Wei Sanlang's heart trembled again. He can become a lieutenant general with one man under one man and more than ten thousand men in Beisha City. Naturally, he not only has military strength, but also is the best in the field of observing words and demeanor.

You know, in a country like Goguryeo, the situation of family factions is even more serious.

"I wonder to what extent His Royal Highness King Jin wants to occupy Beisha City?"

"The army from Cave City, Shepherd City, and Stone City is coming to attack. This king can defend it, and the people in the city can't have any rebellion!"

Li Xuan said.

Wei Sanlang felt a pain in his heart, how could this be possible, unless there are tens of thousands of Tang troops! ?

"You are the deputy general of Beisha City, so there must be some soldiers loyal to you. Moreover, you are the most familiar with the situation in the city. Those who are loyal to Goguryeo will easily rebel when the Goguryeo army comes to attack. You live here one by one. Come out, this king will be destroyed now!"

Li Xuan stared at Wei Sanlang with a murderous look, as long as Wei Sanlang dared to say a word, he dared to kill this treacherous minister.

That's right, after seeing Wei Sanlang lead a group of rout soldiers to help them open the city gate and surrender to him at the first moment, Li Xuan decided that this thick-browed and big-eyed vice-general of Beisha City was a thoroughly A traitor, the most selfish person in Beisha City.

However, he likes this kind of person, who knows the current affairs and has some subordinates who can be used by him.

Goguryeo does not have as large a base as the Han people. Goguryeo people are only a minority. After slowly expanding from a small country to a big country, Goguryeo has a mixed race of people, including Xianbei, Mahan, Feiyu, Mohe, Fuyu, and Han people. People of all races.

Even more than half of Goguryeo's army were soldiers from Xianbei, Mahan, Huiji, Mohe, Fuyu, and Han.

Among the defenders in Beisha City, Li Xuan found many Han soldiers.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the villain will identify you right away!"

Seeing this, Wei Sanlang was shocked and said hastily.

Anyway, serving Ulchi Qiuliang is also serving, and serving this King Jin is also serving, and even this His Royal Highness King Jin is more respected than that Ulchi Qiuliang.

"Your Highness, as far as the villain knows, among the soldiers who surrendered, there are many close friends of Ulchi Akira. In addition, there are also a group of officials in the city who came with Ulchi Akira..."

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and then asked Cheng Duanbo, who was at the side, to lead people to arrest those people that Wei Sanlang had identified and behead them in public.

Seeing this, there is no need for Li Xuan to spread the word, the soldiers and common people in the entire Beisha city already know that Wei Sanlang has completely trusted him.

Regarding Wei Sanlang, Li Xuan can finally rest assured!

"As a Han, as long as you are loyal to the king, to the Tang Dynasty, and make some contributions, you may not be able to be knighted by His Majesty and become a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty! How much credit has been made to destroy a country and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty? You elaborate, you are a military commander, you should also understand!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin. The villain is definitely loyal to His Highness and to the Tang Dynasty! You don't know that although the villain is a partial general in Beisha City, the five Goguryeo tribes are still the most respected in the whole Goguryeo. We wait for these foreigners, In the eyes of Goguryeo people, they are all slaves!"

Wei Sanlang quickly said with a sneer.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Just as Wei Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xiaogong on the side snorted coldly.

"The thief is unfaithful, why don't you tell me where you store the food?"

"Stash food?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan was startled, and then stared closely at Wei Sanlang.

He almost forgot that in ancient times, food and grass were the most important thing.

Li Xiaogong continued: "The big cities of Goguryeo are all a habit. They like to store sufficient grain and grass in these stone cities on weekdays. As long as the enemy army comes to attack, the soldiers of Goguryeo will rely on those grains to defend the city gates!

And Beisha City is an important battle point between my Tang Dynasty and the frontier of Goguryeo, and there must be a lot of food hidden in it! "

On the side, Wei Sanlang's expression changed drastically, and he said hastily: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, don't be angry, the villain has been searching for those who are loyal to Ulji Qiuliang just now, and he hasn't thought of the grain depot yet!"

Immediately, he quickly informed Li Xuan of the place where the grain was stored.

In Beisha City, there are indeed [-] shi of grain hidden, enough for the soldiers and common people in Beisha City to eat for three months!

After listening, Li Xuan just glanced at Wei Sanlang indifferently, and asked Cheng Duanbo to lead hundreds of soldiers to occupy the grain storage place.

Wei Sanlang looked worried.

And, let Wei Sanlang look for dozens of barrels of kerosene, and ask Cheng Duanbo to bring them.

As long as someone dared to attack the grain storage area by force, or Beisha City was breached, the grain depot would be directly burned down.

Li Xuan's actions directly left Li Xiaogong, Cheng Duanbo and others dumbfounded.

Didn't expect to be able to defend the city like this?

Chapter 479 From then on, the city's surname is Datang!

Everyone has been in the military for many years, so it can be seen that according to Li Xuan's operation.

As long as Wei Sanlang is still alive in Beisha City, the captives and common people in Beisha City will not rebel easily.

And as long as the Tang army is still in Beisha City for a day, Wei Sanlang is unlikely to rebel.

Therefore, in Beisha City, where there is only one gate and one road to enter and exit, the West Gate, unless there are tens of thousands of troops besieging Beisha City for three months, Beisha City may not be able to defend.

Afterwards, after thoroughly sorting out Beisha City again, the sky was getting dark.

The three laggards also slowly came to Beisha city.

At the same time, Li Xuan also sent Xue Rengui to inform Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others of the situation on the mountain.

Hearing that Li Xuan had actually captured Beisha City, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others were overjoyed.

After leaving 500 people to guard the giant ship, Li Yuan followed Xue Rengui to Beisha City.

"The precipitousness of Beisha City really lives up to its reputation!"

Walking around in Beisha City, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others couldn't help but subconsciously sigh with emotion.

"However, from now on, the city's surname is Datang!" Li Xuandao.

"Xuanba must not be careless. The people of Goguryeo are good at hunting, so there must be a lot of Goguryeo people fleeing. In less than two days at the latest, Xuecheng, Shicheng, and Shepherd City will all know the news that Beisha City has been breached!"

Li Yuan said with a serious face.

Although they brought soldiers from Qingzhou and Dengzhou Zhechong prefectures this time, they were still seriously short of manpower.

Moreover, these two soldiers from Zhechong Mansion could not stay in Beisha City all the time.

"It's okay!"

In this regard, Li Xuan is full of confidence.

A city like Beisha City is the easiest city to defend for him.

"As long as you give me five hundred soldiers, even if Goguryeo is attacked by tens of thousands of horses, I can defend it! Moreover, I also took in a partial general in Beisha City. His name certificate is..."

Then, Li Xuan recounted all the things he had done since he entered the city.

After listening, Li Yuan nodded subconsciously.

"Xuanba's strategy is just right for these Goguryeo people!"

Afterwards, seeing that Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others were a little puzzled, Li Yuan continued to explain: "In Goguryeo, because the upper ranks are all the people of the five Goguryeo that established Goguryeo.

Later, with the expansion of Goguryeo's territory, people from various ethnic groups joined Goguryeo. Most of these later people were people who attached to the five Goguryeo.

This led to the fact that the nobles at the top of Goguryeo didn't care about the life and death of the people below. As long as they had enough benefits, the people who depended on them could discard them at will.

And the people below, in order to survive, only value benefits, as long as whoever is strong and who can bring them benefits, they will obey. "

"So, don't you have no sense of loyalty and shame?"

Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others who listened were dumbfounded.

"You can say the same thing!"

Li Yuan nodded.

"With the presence of Wei Sanlang, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Beisha City! As long as the soldiers from Cave City and Shicheng don't come to attack Beisha City, with these soldiers now, Beisha City is already foolproof!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Such a wonderful Goguryeo has been able to expand such a large territory.

"Although Cave City and Stone City are far away from Beisha City, the prefects of these two cities should get the news at the latest.

And after learning that we have only more than 2000 soldiers, the Goguryeo army will inevitably come to attack.

Early tomorrow morning, please invite the old man to return to Qingzhou and Dengzhou with Gao Ming and these bastards, and recruit some veterans from these two states to bring them.

If there are people in Beisha who want to accompany us to the Great Tang Dynasty, they can also accompany them! "

"The meaning of Xuanba?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and said slowly: "The population of my Tang Dynasty is not very sufficient. There are also many Han people in Beisha City, and there are even some people from the Sui Dynasty. When these people return to my Tang Dynasty, they will be my Datang Tang Zimin!"

"good!"

Li Yuan also nodded slowly.

"Of course, the most important thing is Wei Sanlang's family, who also need to go to Qingzhou with the huge ship!"

Li Xuan said softly again.

Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others couldn't help being startled.

Especially Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi looked at Li Xuan with admiration on their faces. Sure enough, they still need to learn more from their master in such a matter of great lack of virtue.

Early the next morning.

Li Yuan took Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and other bastards, escorted by Li Xiaogong's [-] soldiers, and headed for Qingzhou and Dengzhou on a giant steel ship.

Together, there are also a group of Beisha people who are 'willing' to go to Datang.

Wei Sanlang's wives and children are naturally among them.
