In just half a day, the news that Yeon Gaesomun was going to fight to the death with Xia Xia had spread throughout Pyongyang. Yeon Gaesomun was one of the most powerful figures in Goguryeo, and he had a group of loyal supporters. Many people worshipped Yeon Gaesomun.
This was because Goguryeo had only gotten stronger because of Yeon Taizuo and Yeon Gaesomun. The two of them were constantly strengthening Goguryeo's strength. At the same time, Xia Xia's attack had infuriated many of the Goguryeo people, and they began to denounce Xia Xia.
Countless people viewed Xia Xia with hostility. Thus, when the news of Yeon Gaesomun's death battle spread, many people became excited and admired Yeon Gaesomun's boldness and strength of character.
There had originally been some people who viewed Yeon Gaesomun with hostility. But this time, they approved of Yeon Gaesomun, and many people were disappointed in Gao Jianwu. Last time, Gao Jianwu had taken the initiative to ask for peace. It was Yeon Gaesomun's scheme that had prevented Gao Jianwu from asking for peace.
The news spread through Pyongyang, and the people began to discuss it incessantly. In the midst of this discussion, the news also reached the royal capital. Gao Jianwu learned that Yeon Gaesomun was going to set out.
When Gao Jianwu heard this, he immediately smashed several vases and even kicked over the table in front of him.
The reason was simple: Yeon Gaesomun was targeting him.
He was doing this on purpose.
Gao Jianwu was well aware of Yeon Gaesomun's intentions. He wanted the people to form a consensus that he, Gao Jianwu, was a spineless person who would surrender. Yeon Gaesomun was wholeheartedly scheming for Goguryeo to resist Xia Xia.
While Gao Jianwu was fuming, his strategist Yun Zou arrived. Yun Zou saw the furious Gao Jianwu and said, "Your Majesty, calm your anger. Yeon Gaesomun's spreading of news is not worth Your Majesty's anger." "Hmph."
Gao Jianwu clenched his teeth. "How can this king not be angry? Yeon Gaesomun is doing this to target this king. Yeon Gaesomun's goal is not only to target Us, but also to prevent us from making trouble for him. "
After a pause, Gao Jianwu continued, "Think about it. Yeon Gaesomun is fighting on the front lines while we are scheming against him in the rear. Once the news spreads, how will the common people view This King? Yeon Gaesomun had always been extremely cunning. His thoughts can't be hidden from this prince. "
Yun Zou smiled. "Your Majesty is wise. Yeon Gaesomun does indeed have such ambitions. But in this subject's view, Yeon Gaesomun's scheme is not worth mentioning. Yeon Gaesomun wants to stop us from dealing with him, but we can't stop him. "
Gao Jianwu asked, "What do you mean?"
Yun Zou said, "The reason is very simple. The people are the easiest to deceive. When we deal with Yeon Gaesomun, we won't leak any information at all. Once Yeon Gaesomun was dead, the king could stand up and say some emotional words to pacify the people and stop them from targeting the king. After all, His Majesty is doing this for the sake of Goguryeo's survival. "
After a pause, Yun Zou continued, "No matter what Yeon Gaesomun does, we don't need to care. If we wait and see, we'll just suffer some criticism. It's nothing to be surprised about, and there's nothing to worry about. "
Gao Jianwu thought it over, then said, "Now that I think about it, it does make sense. "
Yun Zou said, "Your Majesty, you must remember to throw yourself into disarray. You can't mess up our plans. There's no need to change any of our plans. We just need to faithfully carry them out. We'll definitely achieve victory. " "Yes."
Gao Jianwu said, "Sir is correct. This king understands." "Yes."
Yun Zou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was well aware that Yeon Gaesomun's propaganda was truly disgusting and difficult to deal with. But there was no way to deal with it, because Gao Jianwu truly had taken the initiative to ask for peace.
Thus, he didn't care about anything else and just focused on carrying out the plan.
Gao Jianwu and Yun Zou exchanged a few more words, and in the end, Yun Zou left while Gao Jianwu headed for the harem. During this period of time, he had been under a lot of pressure. At this time, he could only vent in the harem to relax his heart a little.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen, and the sky was darkening. At this time, the officials had already gathered in Yeon Gaesomun's residence. Yeon Gaesomun's subordinates were all present.
Yeon Gaesomun looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone has already gathered, and your missions have already been arranged. It's a moonless and windy night to kill. It's time for us to move out. This official will ask again, is everyone clear about their respective tasks? "Yes."
"Yes!" "Yes."
Everyone replied in unison.
Yeon Gaesomun's plan was actually very simple.
His subordinates would split up, and Yeon Gaesomun would personally lead his troops to Royal City to deal with Gao Jianwu. His subordinates would deal with Gao Jianwu's trusted subordinates.
Seeing this, Yeon Gaesomun ordered, "Move out!" "Move out!"
With this order, everyone began to move out.
As Yeon Gaesomun left Yeon Gaesomun's residence, his subordinates began to move out. Unit after unit of soldiers began to move out, while Yeon Gaesomun led his army straight to Royal City. His residence was only about a quarter of an hour's journey away from Monarch City. The army traveled at high speed and in a short period of time, they had already reached Monarch City.
When Yeon Gaesomun reached Royal City, he roared, "Kill!" and his soldiers charged forward.
The soldiers standing guard at the gate panicked.
What was going on?
Why was Yeon Gaesomun charging over?
The soldiers were confused and could only shout that Yeon Gaesomun was rebelling. The soldiers at Royal City's gate began to move forward, attempting to keep Yeon Gaesomun's soldiers outside Royal City. Alas, the soldiers that Royal City had gathered were very weak, making it very difficult for them to stop Yeon Gaesomun's soldiers. On the other side, the soldiers quickly went to report the news. They were one step ahead of the others and had already sent the news to Royal City.
Gao Jianwu was currently asleep.
After all, he had already spent a great deal of energy in the harem during the day. Gao Jianwu had gone to bed early in the night. Once the soldiers were done reporting, the news reached the eunuch at Gao Jianwu's side.
When the eunuch heard the news, his legs gave out in fright and he collapsed. His heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. Rolling and crawling, he rushed into the room and knelt down on the floor. "Your Majesty," he cried, "something bad has happened. Yeon Gaesomun has rebelled! Yeon Gaesomun has brought his army and is charging into Royal City. "Great!"
Gao Jianwu was in a daze when he heard the eunuch's words. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, looking at the kneeling eunuch. "What did you say? Say it again." "Great!"
The eunuch said, "Great King, Yeon Gaesomun has rebelled. He has brought his army and is charging into Royal City. I estimate that he's already charging toward Royal City. The situation is very bad. " "Great!"
Swish!
Gao Jianwu instantly grimaced.
Yeon Gaesomun had rebelled.
How could he dare?
How could Yeon Gaesomun dare to rebel?
Gao Jianwu's heart was filled with boundless rage, but at the same time, he was also filled with boundless fear. Gao Jianwu quickly stood up and ordered the eunuch to put on his clothes. At this moment, Gao Jianwu's body was slightly trembling. After putting on his clothes, Gao Jianwu impatiently rushed out, shouting, "Where are the guards? Where are the guards? Where are the guards? "
He wanted to summon the guards.
He wanted to retreat.
Now that Yeon Gaesomun had rebelled, if he remained in the city, he would not be able to stop him. The best solution was to withdraw from Royal City and avoid Yeon Gaesomun's pursuit.
