"What about the Tang army's movements now?" Gao Zang came back to his senses and asked.

"It is heading towards Pyongyang City. According to the current journey, it is estimated that it will take two days to reach Pyongyang City. In addition, Su Dingfang's army has entered Goguryeo. At most, it will be possible to join forces with Xuan Shijing's army outside Pyongyang City in four days." The messenger said.

"It's over, it's all over." Gao Zang murmured: "Ren Wu hasn't arrived in Chang'an at this time! Goguryeo is about to die!"

The messenger knelt on the ground. He didn't know what to say about this situation. He knew the situation in Pyongyang City now. Even the palace guards were only 50,000 troops. Although they could seize the city, the Tang army gradually gathered troops towards Pyongyang City, and when could they defend Pyongyang City be.

"You retreat first." Gao Zang said.

"yes."

After the messenger left, Gao Zang said to the eunuch beside him: "You go to Quannan Jian Mansion immediately, and say that you want to see him and let him enter the palace immediately! Now!"

"Yes." The eunuch responded and left the main hall.

Only Gao Zang was left in the entire hall. The empty palace seemed to be in my ears. In a blink of an eye, I don’t know how long I can sit in this palace and the throne, and I don’t know how long I can hold on to this country, Goguryeo, but I don’t know how long I can last.

Baekje was destroyed, Goguryeo was also old, and the whole country was destroyed in an instant. The entire Sanhan Peninsula and a large area of ​​land were all included in the territory by the Tang Dynasty.

The door of the mansion built by Quan Nan was already closed at this time. Who would open the door of the mansion in the middle of the night? The doorman was in the room behind and he also swayed his palm-leaf fan to sleep.

After receiving the order from Gaozang, the eunuch next to him took the order and left the palace with two guards overnight, took a carriage to Quan Nanjian's mansion, knocking on the door.

The doorman was awakened by the knock on the door while sleeping. He was very impatient. He put on his clothes and walked out of the house and walked behind the door: "Who is this big night? I wonder if you have rested now?"

"The king summoned me!" the eunuch shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly!"

When the gatekeeper heard that this was a person from the palace, or the king wanted to summon him, he quickly opened the door.

"Hurry up and notify Mo Lizhi. The king has an urgent matter and wait for Mo Lizhi in the palace to go to the palace to discuss, hurry!" The eunuch drank to the doorman.

"Yes." The concierge nodded and then ran towards the yard built by the mansion of the Izumi Man.

After Quan Nan's surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Quan Nan Jian privately forged Mo Lizhi's seal documents, and now he steals the seat of Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo and fights against Gao Tibetan in this Pyongyang city.

The doorman came to Quan Nanjian's yard, walked to the door of Quan Nanjian's room, and reached out to knock on the door.

"Sir, the palace sent someone to pass on a message, saying that the king had an urgent matter to summon the emperor in the palace."

The doorman said this several times outside the door, and then the Funnon Jian inside the room woke up from his dream, put on his clothes and opened the door.

"You just said that the king sent someone to summon me and let me enter the palace immediately?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"That's right, the man is waiting outside the door of the mansion. It's the eunuch next to the king who came to pass the message in person." The concierge said.

"Okay, I understand. Notify the guards at the mansion to prepare the carriage." Quan Nanjian ordered.

"Yes." The concierge responded, and then went down to help Quan Nanjian take care of him.

Since he was going to enter the palace, Quan Nanjian must have to change his official uniform. After changing his official uniform, the guards and the carriage were ready at the door of the mansion.

Quan Nanjian got on the carriage and followed the eunuch beside Gao Zhao into the palace. He was not afraid that Gao Zang would plot against him. The guards in the palace were all the confidants of the Quan family, and they were all the old people left by Quan Gai Suwen before. If he had no power in the palace, Quan Gai Suwen would not dare to stay overnight in the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards guarding at the gate saw Quan Nan’s carriage and opened the palace gate directly. The two carriages entered the palace without any obstacles.

Before the carriage stopped outside the main hall of the palace, Quan Nanjian got off the carriage and several guards guarded the door of the palace. Quan Nanjian walked into the main hall with the company of eunuchs. As soon as he entered the whole day, Quan Nanjian saw Gao Zang sitting on the throne with no eyes.

After passing by, Quan Nanjian asked, "I wonder what is the important thing about the king summoning ministers to the palace late at night?"

"Goguryeo, it's over." Gao Zang came to his senses and looked at Quan Nanjian: "At present, we are also straightforward and there is no need to fight for anything around this Pyongyang city. Everything is over."

"What does the king mean?" Quan Nanjian asked in confusion.

"It's not your good brother! Boy Quan!" Gao Zang said: "Originally, there were 150,000 defenders in Bozhuo City, and I dispatched 120,000 troops out of the city to wipe out the Tang army. Boy Quan used his identity to deceive Bozhuo City and cut off the retreat of the 120,000 troops. Then, the 120,000 troops were defeated by Xuan Shijing's 30,000 Liaodong Army in one fell swoop. A flood was wiped out. The last force outside the Pyongyang City of Goguryeo was completely defeated by Xuan Shijing."

"Your Majesty, there are still 50,000 soldiers in the city now." Quan Nanjian said.

There were only so many 120,000 troops left, Quan Nanjian was unsure. He was also quite surprised that Gao Zang could dispatch the 120,000 troops from Bozhuo City, but in general it was a good thing. The 120,000 troops left the city and were more than enough to deal with the 30,000 Tang troops. But now, the Tang army has nothing to deal with, and the 120,000 troops are gone. No wonder Gao Zang is so desperate.

"The 50,000 soldiers in the city." Gao Zang smiled: "How long can you last? When can you persist? There is only one Pyongyang city left in the entire Goguryeo! This is the only city! What's the use!"

"The King..." Quan Nanjian looked at Gao Zang: "What does the King mean?"

"Let's surrender to Kaicheng. Gu personally lead the nobles in the city. Once the Tang army arrives, Kaicheng surrenders can save his life. I advise you not to struggle anymore. It's useless. Su Dingfang's 40,000 troops will arrive soon. Outside the city with Xuan Shijing's army, Liu Boying's navy was on the sea, and together with Liu Rengui, my Goguryeo navy was completely finished, nothing was gone!"

"Seriously... do you want to surrender?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"Surrender!" Gao Zang said firmly: "Surrender can also preserve a little bit of energy for Goguryeo. If he does not surrender, Goguryeo will die all of his youth and strong people. When the Tang army falls, Goguryeo will be really dead."

Quan Nanjian stood there, silently, Gao Zang proposed to surrender, and he had no resistance. Now, if he continues to fight and defends, he will just struggle to die.

Surrender can still save the people and preserve the last trace of energy for Goguryeo. If it does not surrender, it will truly anger the Tang army and anger Xuan Shijing. As Gao Zang said, all the men of Goguryeo died under the sword of the Tang army, and Goguryeo will be erased from history from then on.
