Guan Qing took Gao Yuan's surrender, left the royal city, and quickly left Pyongyang. There were soldiers following Guan Qing. These soldiers seemed to be protecting Guan Qing, but in fact, they were monitoring Guan Qing.
To prevent Guan Qing from escaping, Guan Qing must reach the Sui army camp before they can complete their mission.
When Guan Qing went to the Sui army, the Sui army also quickly approached the land. The two sides moved in the same direction, so that in less than a day, Guan Qing had already encountered the Sui army.
After he met the Sui army, he immediately reported his identity.
The soldiers of the Sui Army went to report the news, and the first person to get the news was Mai Tiezhang. He sent someone to pick up the Guan Qing. When he saw the Guan Qing, he asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Without any hesitation, Guan Qing said loudly: "The villain is here to surrender. I have important news to report to the general of the Celestial Dynasty."
At this time, the soldiers following him were blocked in the distance.
Can't hear the sound of the chime.
Therefore, Guan Qing did not hesitate and surrendered directly.
Mai Tiezhang examined Guan Qing and said seriously: "You should know that the Great Sui Dynasty did not accept Goguryeo's surrender. Today's Great Sui Dynasty wants to completely destroy Goguryeo. General Mai Tiezhang, as the vanguard of the army, is to
Completely destroy Goguryeo’s new army.”
Guan Qing said: "General Mai, please listen to me. I really have important news."
Mai Tiezhang said: "What news?"
Guan Qing replied: "Reporting to General Mai, King Gaoyuan of Goguryeo has arranged for me to serve as an envoy to come and submit the surrender form. This surrender is a complete surrender, no longer a title of vassal, no longer a matter of preserving the ancestral temple and the country, but
Willing to surrender completely."
"However, Gao Yuan laid coal and stone underground everywhere in Pyongyang City."
"Once the Sui army enters, they will be ambushed."
"When the time comes, the city of Pyongyang will turn into a sea of fire. Even if the Sui army has the power to reach the sky, I am afraid that it will only be buried in the sea of fire. Now, the villain just wants to surrender, so I specially reported the news to General Mai."
Guan Qing looked back at the soldiers escorting him in the distance, and said seriously: "General Mai, the group of more than ten soldiers escorting me from the distance are all the spies of King Gaoyuan of Goguryeo. They want to monitor me."
Mai Tiezhang nodded.
He didn't expect that Gao Yuan would do something like this at the last moment.
It's simply courting death.
Mai Tiezhang nodded and said: "I know the news you mentioned. I am very satisfied that you are willing to submit and report such important information. You will stay in the army for now."
"Thank you General!"
Guan Qing's mouth showed a happy expression.
He finally stayed.
It's finally safe.
Guan Qing's eyes turned and fell on the Goguryeo soldiers not far away, and said: "General Mai, don't you deal with this group of soldiers?"
Mai Tiezhang said: "It must be dealt with!"
As soon as he waved his hand, soldiers came forward and took down all the soldiers escorting Guan Qing.
Everyone was killed.
Mai Tiezhang detained Guan Qing, led the army, and continued on the road quickly. The army was not far from Pyongyang City. Especially when the army rushed at full speed, the army led by Guan Qing had arrived at Pyongyang City in less than a day.
At this time, Gao Yuan personally went out of the city to ask for surrender.
His current plan was to first ask for surrender and allow the Sui army to enter the city, then look for opportunities to escape quietly, and finally, let the troops hidden in the dark ignite the coal and stone that had been laid.
A fire set the city of Pyongyang on fire.
In the end, the Sui army was destroyed.
This is Gao Yuan's plan.
When Gao Yuan saw Mai Tiezhang, he said sternly: "Gao Yuan, the guilty minister of a small country, pays homage to the general of the Celestial Dynasty."
Mai Tiezhang saw Gao Yuan, with a look of disdain and ridicule on his face, and said: "Gao Yuan, you arranged for people to go to the table again to ask for surrender. However, you secretly sent people to lay coal and stone in the city, intending to
The fire burned our Sui soldiers. Do you dare to come to see me after you behaved like this?"
brush!
Gao Yuan's expression changed drastically.
He looked up at Mai Tiezhang with an expression of disbelief and said: "General, this is impossible. How could I do such a thing?"
Although he said this, Gao Yuan was suspicious of Guan Qing in his heart, because only he and Guan Qing knew about the plan. Apart from that, no one else knew about it.
Gao Yuan looked around, looking for the pipe chime.
He wanted to find out where the Guan Qing people were.
Mai Tiezhang looked at Gao Yuan's behavior and knew what Gao Yuan was thinking, and said: "Gao Yuan, we are looking for Guan Qing. Someone, bring Guan Qing out. This person is a good minister of Gao Yuan."
.”
The soldiers went to deliver the order, and Guan Qing was immediately brought out.
When Guan Qing saw Gao Yuan, his expression was indifferent. Since he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, there has been no contact between him and Gao Yuan. He has no affection for Gao Yuan as a monarch or a minister.
Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and roared: "Guan Qing, are you betraying me?"
Guan Qing's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't betray you Gao Yuan, it was you Gao Yuan who plotted against me. If it weren't for you not trusting me, it wouldn't be like this. You are responsible for all this."
Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and was extremely angry.
He did not expect that all his plans would be turned into water because of Guan Qing's betrayal.
From then on, Goguryeo was finished.
Goguryeo was destroyed by his hands.
Gao Yuan rushed out immediately and shouted: "Guan Qing, I will fight with you."
"Come die!"
Gao Yuan rushed directly to Guan Qing.
However, at the moment Gao Yuan rushed out, Mai Tiezhang raised his leg and kicked him out. Hearing a bang, the sole of his foot hit Gao Yuan's chest. In an instant, Gao Yuan's entire body was shaken.
, like a cannonball, it flew backwards and fell to the ground with a thud.
Gao Yuan screamed, put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up. But when he was about to stand up, his whole body was sore, and he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and his body fell to the ground again.
Mai Tiezhang snorted and waved his hand, and soldiers came forward and took Gao Yuan into custody.
Immediately, Mai Tiezhang mobilized his troops again.
The soldiers under his command stepped forward, entered the city directly, and directly controlled the four gates of Pyongyang City. They then quickly cleared away the coal and stone paved on the ground inside the city.
After doing all this, Mai Tiezhang led the army into Pyongyang City.
At this point, Goguryeo fell.
Shortly after Mai Tiezhang took control of Pyongyang City, other armies of the Sui Dynasty also arrived one after another, and then began to raid various cities in Goguryeo.
In just one month, the Sui army swept across the entire Goguryeo, and even captured Silla and Baekje in the south.
After the fall of Goguryeo, the Sui army began to withdraw.
Even so, there are still troops stationed. After all, Goguryeo has just been captured. If troops are not stationed, it is very likely that the army will retreat and be mutinied.
Mai Tiezhang and others withdrew, taking Gao Yuan with them as well.
After the army returned to Liucheng County, Mai Tiezhang's army was stationed, and he went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to see Wang Can. Because the current government and military affairs were all entrusted to Wang Can, Mai Tiezhang naturally went to see Wang Can.
.
When Mai Tiezhang saw Wang Can, he bowed and said: "The last general, Mai Tiezhang, pays homage to the Imperial Master."
Although he once promoted Wang Can.
However, he clearly distinguishes the importance. Even though he is a general, in front of Wang Can, he is now a subordinate, so Mai Tiezhang is not at all arrogant.
Wang Can smiled and waved his hand: "General Mai, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Imperial Master!"
Mai Tiezhang thanked him respectfully and then sat down.
In fact, Mai Tiezhang didn't have any resentment towards Wang Can, the national master. The reason was actually very simple. If it weren't for Wang Can's insistence, Yang Guang would have intervened in the frontline war, and the final outcome would have been difficult to predict.
It was Wang Can's intervention and Wang Can's order to take away all the prisoners and directly destroy the Sui Dynasty that ensured the invincibility of the Sui army on the front line and the success of this battle.
Especially the sale of captives can earn countless amounts of money.
With money, food, etc., there will be no shortage.
Although this battle cost countless people, through Wang Can's operation, the losses in this battle were greatly reduced. So in fact, Mai Tiezhang was convinced by Wang Can, because Wang Can knew how to fight the war, and he also tried his best to fight the war.
Delegate power to the soldiers on the front line.
Wang Can said: "General Mai, there is no need to be restrained. Even though I am a national advisor now, for me, without the support of the former general, I would not have been able to reach this point in a short period of time."
Mai Tiezhang said: "That's what I should do."
After a pause, Mai Tiezhang said: "Guardian, we won this battle and captured Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo. Now, he is being detained in the army. Do you want to bring him to see you?"
Wang Can said: "Bring it here!"
Wang Can also wanted to meet Gao Yuan. In history, this king of Goguryeo resisted Yang Guang's three attacks and was a legendary figure.
After receiving the order, Mai Tiezhang immediately gave the order.
But when Mai Tiezhang looked at Wang Can, he seemed hesitant to speak.
Wang Can said: "General Mai, just say what you have to say and don't hesitate. What's more, General Mai has always been brave enough to speak out. Why is he hesitant now?"
Mai Tiezhang said: "Since the Imperial Master said this, then I will be bold."
Wang Can said: "But it doesn't matter!"
Mai Tiezhang said sternly: "When I came back, I heard the news that the emperor appointed you as the national preceptor, with full authority to handle the affairs of the state. Moreover, they said that the national preceptor has the power to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and can make people rejuvenate and rejuvenate.
. Even the emperor is getting younger and younger now. I don’t know if this is true? Is the imperial master’s magical skills true or false? "
"Hahaha……"
After Wang Can heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Mai Tiezhang said: "Why is the Imperial Master laughing?"
Wang Can didn't explain anything, but he raised his hand, the Gang Qi flowed, and the invisible power circulated in the air, directly dragging the wheat iron staff into the air, and stood firmly in the air.
At this moment, Mai Tiezhang's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face.
How can it be?
In this world, there are people who can float in the air just by raising their hands.
This is completely contrary to reason.
It's hard to understand.
Wang Can waved his hand, and the aura gradually dissipated, and the Mai Iron Staff returned to the ground. Wang Can chuckled and asked: "General Mai, do you believe in my ability now?"
