In the palace of Pyongyang City, Gao Jianwu was sitting on the throne. When he heard several important ministers below asking questions, Gao Jianwu felt agitated for no reason.

There are some things that he can talk about, but there are some things that he can't talk about. Should he tell these old guys that his princess has an affair with Su Wen Gaiyuan?

If this was said out loud, it would be a great shame and humiliation. The entire royal family would suffer and become the laughing stock of the people of Gaoguli. Although no one dared to say anything on the surface, secretly one could imagine what the situation would be like.

Seeing that Gao Jianwu was silent, two more old men started asking.

Gao Jianwu thought about what was reported in the letter, and then secretly cursed himself for being confused. He couldn't talk about things in the palace, but he could talk about things outside.

He immediately said: "Su Wen Gaiyuan was defeated. The 300,000-strong army failed to capture Jian'an City. Instead, they were beaten to pieces. Now they have returned to Liaodong County. What a waste! What a waste!"

"What? Su Wen Gaiyuan was defeated? How is this possible? It was an army of 300,000 people. According to the information obtained by the spies, there were only 100,000 troops in Jian'an City. This was the vanguard of the Tang Army. Even if they could not capture Jian'an City, they would not be able to defeat it.

As for being beaten to pieces, return to Liaodong County!"

Seeing that his attention was diverted to the battle ahead, Gao Jianwu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then continued: "According to reports, the Tang army seems to have a very powerful weapon. It makes a loud noise and can kill Gao Gouli in one go.

The soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties, and there seemed to be a lot more like that."

"After a loud noise, our army suffered at least a thousand casualties. Su Wen Gaiyuan was defeated by this thing. In addition, the Tang Army's central army also arrived in the new city and was heading towards Jian'an. Su Wen Gaiyuan saw that something was wrong.

Because of this, we returned to Liaodong County."

Hearing Gao Jianwu's explanation, a group of old guys frowned even deeper, and they all asked: "What is that thing that makes a loud noise in Tang Jun? Is it that wooden bump?"

How did Gao Jianwu know so much? He didn't write much at all in the report. The battle report from the front was also briefly mentioned. What he sent was the news that Su Wen Gaiyuan had an affair with his princess. The evidence for this news was conclusive. Gao Gouli's shadow was in Su

Clues were found in Wen Gaiyuan's letters. Among them were not only letters written by Su Wen Gaiyuan to the princess, but also letters written by the princess to him. The letters were also sent over. Gao Jianwu recognized the handwriting at a glance as that of the princess herself.

of.

This is to say that this news is conclusive. If it were not for the overall situation, he might have killed Su Wen Gaiyuan and beheaded him immediately.

Listening to the old guys' questions, Gao Jianwu slowly shook his head and said: "There is no news from the front. They only said about this defeat. We haven't found out the reason or what weapons the Tang army has."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

"If Su Wen Gaiyuan couldn't figure out what caused his defeat, how could he resist the Tang army's attack? Once Liaodong County was lost again, the Tang army would be able to reach the Liao River. As long as they crossed the Liao River, they would be able to threaten us.

Pyongyang, the royal city will be in danger by then."

"I don't know what you are talking about, but according to the battle report, the Tang army is extremely guarded and can't be found at all. There is nothing you can do in vain!"

"Then please make preparations early, Your Majesty. If the Tang army crosses the Liao River, we will have a way out."

Regarding this statement, Gao Jianwu deeply agreed and kept nodding his head and said: "This matter should indeed be prepared early. If Suwen Gaiyuan really cannot resist the Tang army, then we can only withdraw to the outer island for temporary shelter and wait for the Tang army to leave."

Go, it won’t be too late for us to come back.”

"Your Majesty, we still need to contact Baekje and Silla to ask them to send reinforcements. Although we usually have bad relations, we can unite together at this time. If I, Goguryeo, are destroyed, then Baekje and them will be next.

Silla!" an old minister suggested.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You must explain the interests to Baekje and Silla!" Gao Jianwu nodded in agreement.

In a private house in Pyongyang, seven or eight Mozi members were sitting around a table and talking.

"The letters should have been delivered to Gao Jianwu, right?"

"They should have been sent. I wonder what Gao Jianwu would think after seeing those letters!"

"Originally we were thinking of dealing with Su Wen Gaiyuan's family, but we didn't expect that someone would give us such a big gift. Su Wen Gaiyuan actually had an affair with the princess. Let's see how Su Wen Gaiyuan died this time."
