Datang Live Room

Sure enough, the subsequent battle situation was almost as Li Shimin expected.

His 300,000-strong army, combined with Su Dingfang and Kuoding's army, advanced in four directions, and soon occupied the entire northern part of Goryeo.

Approaching Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.

The garrison of Pyongyang City was no more than 80,000 people.

Under the attack of Kuoding County's trebuchets and explosives, the northern city wall was breached by Datang in a few days.

Gao Wu, the leader of Goryeo, had no choice but to surrender.

The Chang'an Song and Dance Troupe has added another member.

Then Yeon Gaesomun retreated to the southeast corner of Goryeo and declared himself emperor.

He holds in his hands the remaining 200,000 troops of Goryeo.

The Tang army then stopped their offensive.

The area south of Pyongyang City in Goryeo was divided between Baekje, Silla and the Fuso nobles who went on an expedition.

To be honest, Silla, Baekje and Fuso were both a little scared.

They spent half a year with Yeon Gaesumun, but they didn't get any advantage.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not face Shang Yeon Gaesumun, there were at least more than 200,000 troops in Goryeo.

It was unexpectedly captured by Datang in about a month.

This battle is also recorded as the Goryeo Blitz in the history of various countries.

Li Shimin wrote a letter to each of Silla and Baekje in Pyongyang, and then the two heads of state, plus the eldest brother Shanbei who only came to power in Fusang, arrived in Pyongyang.

There was nothing we could do. The Tang Dynasty's 300,000-strong army was defeated by Goryeo with almost no casualties.

What if Tang Emperor Li Shimin felt that it was rare for him to leave Chang'an City and he didn't feel comfortable?

Then the next one to be beaten will be either Silla or Baekje.

Therefore, the brothers would rush to Pyongyang to provide emotional value to Li Shimin, not only if Li Shimin came to invite him, but even if Li Shimin didn't invite him.

No matter what, he had to make Emperor Tang feel that this trip was worth the fare and that he could comfortably return to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year.

After entering Pyongyang City, I saw a young man who was not yet an adult coming to receive several people.

The leader of Baekje, Silla, asked why he would send a child out, and saw the eldest brother, King Shanbei, welcoming him warmly.

"I've met Mr. Yan, long time no see!"

He was really happy to see Yan Kai.

According to what Yan Kai taught him, he sent the domestic aristocratic troops to the battlefield of Goryeo, which reduced the domestic resistance to implementing the decree.

On the other hand, together with Jingbu Morishe, they formulated many policies to benefit the people, including tax reductions and exemptions, encouraging childbirth, and rewarding craftsmen.

Although he was a fool, he was still good at copying homework. Anyway, he copied what Yan Kai did to the people he saw from Kuoding County.

Not to mention, at least the entire Fusang people now support him quite a bit.

So when he saw Yan Kai, he came up to greet him, and he was a disciple.

"What, he is Yan Kai!"

"That little Tang Dynasty..."

The King of Silla and the King of Baekje looked at each other.

Now the king of Silla and Baekje also knew his identity.

King Xin of Silla said that he had done so much business with Kuoding County and had long known that the magistrate of Kuoding County was a young man. Why didn't he think of this?

They also quickly came up to get close to each other. After all, the two of them can be regarded as business partners!

But the King of Baekje was left behind.

The King of Baekje saw that this was not possible. If this young man was sent out by Li Shimin to receive him, he must be a popular person in front of Li Shimin.

And this guy is not a good person!

No one can offend him!

Now it seems that King Fuso and King Silla are related to each other. Doesn’t this mean that he is lagging behind others?

Fortunately, he was well prepared. As the saying goes, if you are more polite, people will not be surprised.

He took a gift box from the attendant and stuffed it into Yan Kai's hand.

"Zhixian Yan, your petty care is disrespectful."

Yan Kai was stunned. He didn't expect that this would be beneficial?

If someone gives you a gift, he will accept it. If you want to give it to me, why don’t I accept it?

As for hitting you in the future, that is because you want to give me a gift. What does it have to do with me hitting you?

Accepting the gift without any psychological burden, Yan Kaicai said with a smile: "Our Majesty has prepared a private banquet for you today. I have no other intention. I just came here to meet you."

"Really... just inviting us to dinner?" When the King of Silla saw that the King of Baekje had taken action, he quickly offered a gift box and used this to test Yan Kai's tone.

"I'm really just treating you to lunch." Yan Kai accepted the gift box and said, "We're treating you to lunch, and you're still spending so much money. I'm really embarrassed."

"It should, it should!" The King of Silla and the King of Baekje followed Yan Kai in with smiles on their faces.

Sure enough, it was just like Yan Kai said, it should be a private banquet.

In a small hall, Li Shimin met them, and there were not many officials from the Tang Dynasty, and had a meal together.

He didn't say much, but before leaving, Li Shimin said to a few people that Yan Kai had been fully responsible for the affairs of Goryeo.

When the king of Silla and Baekje heard this, they regretted it.

The layout was smaller just now, so this gift is too light!

If he had known that Emperor Tang trusted Yan Kai so much, he would have given him a big gift no matter what he said just now.

So after Li Shimin left, two people came up again.

It seems that Li Shimin is going back to Chang'an. It is probably Yan Kai who has the final say on whether or not Gaoli will fight in the future and who to fight.

Ever since they knew Yan Kai's identity, they no longer dared to underestimate Yan Kai.

Who doesn't know how shameless this kid is?

According to my spies, the reason why Yeon Gaesomun was at odds with the king of Goryeo was because of rumors that this boy was the founder of Pyongyang City.

Also, the Tang Dynasty sent troops this time because this guy said that the Goryeo navy first attacked his Pipi shrimp number.

Like Li Anyan's Tiger of the East China Sea, Yan Kai is now well-known on the Korean Peninsula and has a nickname.

"The little gangster of the Tang Dynasty!"

In countries that are both in the Han cultural circle, everyone understands the saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

This time, the emotional value for Li Shimin changed to the emotional value for Yan Kai.

It's just that this flattery is a bit too blunt.

"Don't worry, guys!" Yan Kai got straight to the point:

"Datang is not a militaristic country. What we have always pursued is an independent and peaceful foreign policy."

"We will always adhere to the path of peaceful development, unswervingly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening up, and are willing to establish and develop friendly and cooperative relations with all countries on the basis of peaceful coexistence!"

The three of them didn't quite understand what Yan Kai meant, but they could clearly hear the word "peace" in it.

In a few months, with an army of 300,000, they bulldozed the most powerful Goryeo around them. How could there not be peace?

They all nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, peace is the most important thing!"

"So, as for the territory of Goryeo, our Tang Dynasty only occupies the eastern coastal area, and plans to share the other old territory of Goryeo with all friendly neighboring countries!"

The King of Silla said in shock: "What?"

King Baekje said in shock: "What?"

Shanbei's eldest brother said in confusion: "What do you mean?"
