Chapter 3035 Respectfully send Da Mo Lizhi to heaven, and respectfully invite the king to leave the city
Yuan Jingtu called out several times, and Yuan Gaesumun seemed to have come back to his senses, and managed to smile towards his younger brother.
"Second brother is here? But what's the news?"
"Brother, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is personally leading 30,000 Tang elites to the north along the Ali River. The Tang Dynasty's Dengzhou navy warships are also coming along the Ali River, along with the Tang Dynasty's cavalry..."
After hearing this, Yeon Gaesumun didn't even change his expression. He slowly turned his head and looked at the old tree with new buds in front of him.
"Also, on the other side of the Yalu River, several soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty advanced hand in hand and rushed towards me in Pyongyang."
"I haven't encountered any resistance along the way. Those bastards have already betrayed..."
Hearing the sound of Yuan Jingtu's gnashing of teeth, Yuan Gaesumun let out a long sigh.
"They have no hope of victory. To resist is to risk their own lives."
"Instead of continuing to waste your life for my Yuan family, it is better to open the city early to welcome the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Maybe, we can also get some benefits from the Tang Dynasty and protect our family."
Hearing this, Yuan Pure Land immediately shouted in a low voice, unhappy.
"Brother! What should we do next?"
"What else can you do? Second brother, do you still remember the agreement our brothers made before?"
Yeon Gaesumun slowly stood up, his tall and strong figure already looking a little stooped at this moment.
Seeing that Yuan Jingtu seemed to have something to say, he raised his hand, shook it slowly, and smiled bitterly.
"Just do as we agreed before."
"Brother..." Yuan Jingtu stared blankly at his brother for a long time, and finally slowly bowed to the ground and bowed solemnly to Yuan Gaesumun.
"Go quickly. When the soldiers of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty arrive at Pyongyang City, you must not resist."
"Otherwise, none of my Yuan family's bones and blood will survive in this world. Do you understand?"
"Brother, I understand..."
Yuan Jingtu walked slowly toward the outside of the courtyard with somewhat staggering steps. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he looked back.
Then he saw his eldest brother Yeon Gae Suwen, and slowly sat back down, looking at the old tree in the distance dreamily.
At this time, an old servant with tears in his eyes walked over gingerly carrying a tray.
On the tray, there is a pot of wine and a wine glass.
Yuan Jingtu turned his head away, and finally raised his head to look at the sky, murmuring in a low voice.
"I had known this..."
Never would I have thought that Goguryeo, which had been established for hundreds of years and was still standing despite being repeatedly conquered by the Central Plains Empire, would fall apart at the hands of their brothers.
If they had known this result earlier, how could they become enemies of the Tang Dynasty?
However, in this world, there is no medicine for regret, and the bitter pill of failure can only be swallowed honestly.

Just after Yuan Jingtu walked out of the courtyard, he stood quietly outside the courtyard gate until he heard painful groans coming from the courtyard and the sound of broken porcelain on the ground.
Yuan Jingtu, who had already burst into tears, turned around and bowed deeply to the ground in the courtyard.
"Send me off to Da Molizhi..."
All the men, women and children in the house cried bitterly and fell to the ground in tears.
After a long time, Yuan Jingtu slowly stood up and glanced at his brother's concubines who came after hearing the news.
"My eldest brother has passed away. As a great leader of Goguryeo, I must not go too lonely."
"Give them a gift for me, so that they can serve my brother well under the Nine Springs."
"Yes!" At this moment, the Yuan clan warriors who had been prepared for a long time bowed to Yuan Pure Land, the new head of the Yuan clan.
He strode forward and dragged all the women who were crying so hard into the courtyard.
Soon, there were piercing screams and wails, as well as pleadings and screams one after another.
There was no expression on Yuan Jingtu's face, he just stood quietly with his hands behind his hands, waiting quietly.
Finally, the warrior leader, covered in blood, returned to Yuan Pure Land and reported quietly.
Yuan Jingtu nodded slowly, and at this moment, the old servant who had just brought the poisoned wine to Yuan Gaisuwen came to Yuan Jingtu and knelt down with a wooden box.
Then with trembling hands, he slowly opened the wooden box. Inside, there was a head of Yeon Gaesumun carved out of fine wood, complete with beard and hair.
Yuan Jingtu couldn't help but flinch, and heard the old servant whispering.
"Da Molizhi has ordered that this head be sewn together with its body."
"Da Molizhi also said that when you go out of the city to ask for surrender from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you must bring his head in person."
Yuan Jingtu looked at the wooden head and couldn't help but shed tears. "Brother..."
His voice was hoarse, like a desperate lone wolf howling.

Wu Ben of the Tang Dynasty, who was at the peak of his military power, was speeding along the north bank of the Ali River, tens of thousands of elites, winding for miles like a long snake.
And in the vast Arishui River, Datang's naval warships were slowly sailing on the water.
Those open gun windows, as well as the muzzles shining with metallic luster exposed outside the gun windows, seemed to be showing off or demonstrating.
Li Shimin was riding his horse safely at this moment, and all the important civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were riding their horses.
Regardless of their military or military skills, they all wore armor to show the might of the Tang Dynasty. After all, this was in an enemy country, not the Tang Dynasty.
A group of imperial guards were on the left and right, and a battalion of powerful fire generals and cavalry in Liaodong followed behind.
At this moment, Datang's reconnaissance cavalry was galloping in front of and on the left wing of the large team, vigilantly guarding against possible accidents.
The scout cavalry at the front had already arrived outside Pyongyang City. The leader, General Hu Lang, reined in the galloping horse beneath him.
Looking at the city that can be regarded as the widest one I have ever seen in Goguryeo.
At this moment, the Goguryeo soldiers on Pyongyang City had already seen these Tang army reconnaissance cavalry whose armor was obviously different from those of Goguryeo.
Soon, the gate of Pyongyang City slowly opened, and dozens of riders galloped away. After contacting General Wu Lang, they quickly returned to Pyongyang City.
"At the end of the day, I will meet the king and meet Mo Lizhi."
"How far is the army of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from Pyongyang City?"
The new great Moli Zhiyuan Pure Land stood up and shouted at the general.
"Back at Molizhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is already less than ten miles away from Pyongyang City."
After hearing this answer, Yuan Jingtu stood up slowly and glanced at the Goguryeo civil and military officials.
Finally, his eyes fell on his own son, the current new king of Goguryeo, Gao Anshun.
Facing his only thirteen-year-old biological son with a comforting expression and eyes, Yuan Jingtu gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, please come out of the city..."
Gao Anshun, who was dressed in court uniform, nodded silently, and with the support of his father, he walked towards the city gate with heavy steps...
