Chapter 959

Under the night, Yoon Gaisuwen quietly returned to the mansion of the Yuan family in Pyongyang. Looking at the home I missed day and night, Yoon Gaisuwen almost cried out and finally returned home.?≠

"who!"

Several Yuan's gate guards saw a man wearing a cloak with a suspicious expression protruding his head and looking around, and immediately walked over fiercely.

Yuan Gaisuwen said in a low voice, "It's me, I'm back."

But under the night, the guards of the Yuan family did not recognize him, his voice was too hoarse.

"Damn it, do you think any beggar can come here? You don't urinate and look at your bear. This is Yuan Mansion, the mansion of Lu, get out."

The guard scolded.

Yuan Gaisuwen's narrow eyes narrowed.

He raised his one arm and slapped the guard hard in the face.

A loud slap.

The guard was beaten to death. After reacting, he reached out to touch the knife.

But at this time, Yuan Gai Suwen had already lifted the cloak from her head, "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly. It's me that I'm back, so I won't get out and open the door."

The guard put his hand on the hilt of the knife, but he didn't dare to pull it out. He seemed to see a ghost, "Mr. Gaisuwen... But aren't you in Tang State?"

The man in front of him looked a little like Gasuwen, but he didn't dare to recognize him. Because the difference was huge, the young master Gasuwen in the past was the sweetheart of heaven, so glamorous. But now, this person with only one hand left, is he really a young master?

One hand.

He suddenly remembered that it was said that the young master was captured after being defeated by the Tang Dynasty and then cut off his hand.

Could it be that Mr. Gasuwen is back?

At this time, the guard at the door at the door saw the movement here and came over with a lantern.

"What's going on, who is this person?"

The guard raised the lantern and illuminated it, and then his face turned pale due to fright.

"Young Master?"

Yuan Gaisuwen had a dark face, "Why don't you go and open the door."

"Yes." The head of the guard hurriedly carried the lantern to open the door.

"Don't make a sound, remember." Yuan Gaisuwen stood at the gate, explained to several guards in a low voice, and then stepped into the mansion.

"Gajin, are you back?"

Yuan Taizuo rushed out in his clothes and stood in front of his son and looked around.

"You're back, my god."

"Dad, my son is unfilial, and I have made you worry for a long time."

"It's good to come back, go back to the house."

In Yuan Taizuo's study, the father and son were silent for a long time.

Looking at his son's empty sleeves, Yuan Taizuo sighed repeatedly.

"I didn't expect that Tangren really put you back, it's good if he comes back."

"Dad, how were you prepared for that matter?" Yuan Gaisuwen asked.

"Gajin, what's the matter?" Yuan Taizuo called his son's nickname.

Yuan Gaisuwen said in a low voice, "It's just the destruction of Gao Jianwu."

Yuan Taizuo was shocked, "That was just a liar to the Tang people. Why did you take it seriously? Since you are back, don't mention it again."

Hearing his father say this, Yoon Gaisuwen shook his head with a serious expression.

"Dad, this must be done, there is no turning back."

Yuan Taizuo frowned.

Yuan Taizuo is the Molizhi of Goguryeo. Molizhi is a new position that has only appeared in Goguryeo in recent years. This position is similar to Dalu, but it has greater power than Dalu.

If the official position in the Central Plains is applied, the general is equivalent to the prime minister to Lu, then Mo Lizhi is the prime minister. Just like the position of prime minister that Yang Jian set up for himself before usurping the throne.

Yuan Taizuo's position as Mo Lizhi was inherited from his father Yuan Ziyou, and he also inherited the position of Eastern Master at the same time.

Yuan Taizuo's father Yuan Ziyou inherited the position of Eastern Master from his family in his early years. With the influence of Yuan's family in Goguryeo, he achieved great success step by step, and then he got himself the new official position of Mo Lizhi.

The Yuan family was extremely powerful in the court in Goguryeo.

Although Yuan Taizuo was inherited from his father, he still controlled the government over the years.

In fact, after the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, two forces formed in Goguryeo, one was the generals of the northern military power represented by Yuan Taizuo, and the other was the ministers who supported King Rongliu, represented by the virtue of the court.

During several wars against the Sui Dynasty, De Zhi was the commander general of Goguryeo.

Yuan Taizuo later reached a compromise with the ministers and other ministers such as Yizhi Wende, and jointly supported Gao Jianwu to become the 27th King of Goguryeo. Yuan Taizuo entered the court and then left his position as the eldest son Yuan Gaisuwen.

"Dad, the people of Yizhi Wende have long planned to suppress us with Gao Jianwu, and even planned to take away your position as Mo Lizhi. We cannot sit still, especially the failure of my son's military service this time, which has become their excuse for dealing with our Yuan family. My son was defeated miserably in the Tang Dynasty, but during this time he stayed in the Tang Dynasty, I thought a lot, especially saw a lot."

"The Tang Dynasty is too powerful and it is not something we can deal with."

"Yizhi Wende has always boasted that he had defeated the Sui army three times and defeated the millions of troops of the Sui Dynasty. But Tang and Sui are different, completely different. The Turks are so powerful that they were beaten by Tang in just a few years."

"The Tang army will be coming soon, but this time, they will come from the sea and we are completely unable to resist."

Yuan Taizuo looked at his son in surprise. His son was young before, but he was full of sharpness, but now he was full of fear of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tangren is really that powerful?"

"Father, you should have seen the Tang people's merchant ships. Those ships used new soft sails, and used many advanced navigation technologies such as watertight cabins, compass, sextant. What's more terrifying is that the warships they built were faster and larger than these merchant ships, and they also had extremely terrifying firepower. They installed cannons on the ships."

"Is it the Tangren's firearm?"

"Yes, you have no idea how powerful that cannon is. At sea, no one can compete with them."

"Once the Tang people come to attack, we will be defeated. Father, our Yuan family cannot die with Goguryeo. We can cooperate with the Tang people. The Tang people promised that we would establish the North Korean country."

But Yuan Taizuo didn't believe it very much.

"That's all the one-sided words of the Tang people. How can we believe it? When Goguryeo is destroyed, why don't the Tang people annex themselves but leave it to us?"

"Thank you for your hard work all the way back. Let's take a break early. Let's talk about something tomorrow." Yuan Taizuo felt that his young son was frightened by the Tang people.

"Father, we have no other choice, don't we?"

"Gao Jianwu and Yizhi Wende are going to deal with us, and the Tang people are going to attack us again. If we defeat the Tang people, we will eventually be eliminated by Yizhi Wende and others, because the Tang people attacked, we will definitely be in the forefront."

"If you lose, it will naturally be worse. Since why not bet? Just bet here away from Middle Earth, the Tang Dynasty is beyond the reach, and they need us. Even if we give Liaodong to the Tang Dynasty, we will at least have the northern part of the peninsula and even further northeastern places."

Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath.

"But it is not easy for us to launch a mutiny and abolish Gao Jianwu. Yizhi Wende has many soldiers and generals, but we don't have much advantage in Pyongyang.

The real power of the Yuan clan is in the northeast. In the capital of Pyongyang, it is mainly controlled by the southern school of Yizhi Wende. The Yuan clan also has power in Pyongyang, but its strength is not strong enough to abolish Gao Jianwu at will, and all Yizhi Wende and others will be beaten in one go.

"Father, we don't need to start a mutiny right away. We still have time!"

······

The next morning, Yuan Taizuo came to court.

The Yuan family did not reveal the news that Yuan Gaisuwen came back, and Yuan Gaisuwen also hid at home and did not show up.

Goguryeo Royal Palace.

At the court meeting, Mo Li Zhiyuan Taizuo reported a message that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty granted the Liaodong of Goguryeo to more than 300 nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

And these nobles who had obtained the Liaodong fiefdom were persuading the emperor to fight in the east.

This news made the monarchs and ministers of Goguryeo angry. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually used their territory in Goguryeo to reward his subjects, which was too shameless.

They cursed angrily, but forgot that although they occupied Liaodong for more than 200 years, they used to be the territory of the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, since Emperor Tang rewarded the land of Liaodong to the nobles of the Tang Kingdom, it fully exposed his ambitions. If he wanted to seize Liaodong, we have to guard against this matter."

Yizhi Wende said calmly, "The Sui Dynasty invaded several times, and millions of troops were all returned in vain. It is not fearful that the Tang people came in. As long as the time comes, don't choose the young man who has no hair on his lips. For example, Mo Lizhi's beloved son, who only knows how to talk about war on paper and talks loudly when he goes to war, but he ruined my 50,000 elite troops in Goguryeo and lost western Liaoning."

Yuan Taizuo glared at Yizhi Wende in anger.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time of internal struggle. Although the Tang Dynasty was a newly built country, it unified the Central Plains and defeated powerful countries such as Tuyuhun and Turks. Now we are targeting Liaodong, so we cannot be careless. Especially since the Tang people still have the advantages of firearms, we have to be careful. The old minister has a strategy to alleviate my Goguryeo urgent need."

Gao Jianwu felt a little panicked. Goguryeo did repel the Sui army back then, but it was not entirely Goguryeo's power, especially during the second time, all due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion. By the third time, he even surrendered to the Sui army to retreat. At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos and the Sui army was unable to fight eastward. Otherwise, Goguryeo would have died long ago.

But the war back then also greatly damaged their vitality. Now the Tang Kingdom is launching a large-scale eastern expedition like the Sui Dynasty, which would be very dangerous.

"What's the trick of Yuan Xiang?"

Yuan Taizuo looked around and then spoke out his plan aloud.

"The old minister proposed to build a thousand-mile Great Wall on the east bank of the Liao River. Mobilize special human resources and concentrate on the repair of a Great Wall. Rely on the mountains and cities in the rear to build a solid defense line. Keep the Tang people out of the country and never allow them to attack Liaodong and destroy the hinterland."

"Build the Great Wall?"

Gao Jianwu's eyes lit up. Even Yizhi Wende felt that the proposal of the old thief Yuan was actually quite reasonable.

"Your Majesty, relying on the Liao River, we went to Fuyu in the north and Anshi in the south. We built a thousand-mile Great Wall. We blocked the Liao River in front and leaned against the mountain city, mobilized heavy troops to defend this line of defense, guarded the various mountain passes leading to the hinterland of Goguryeo, and kept the enemy abroad to ensure the safety of Goguryeo."

"What if the Tang people came from the sea?" Gao Jianwu asked.

Yizhi Wende said on the side, "Your Majesty, although the Tang people can attack on the sea, they can transport only a limited number of troops, at most 20,000 to 30,000 people. And this is just an isolated army, with no support or even no food and supplies. Once they reach 6, they will fight alone. As long as we stand firm in Pyongyang, they will be able to attack without attack. As long as the Tang army cannot attack from the west, this lonely branch from the sea will be useless. They will either retreat by themselves or be annihilated by us."

"The general's intention is to agree with practicing this Great Wall?"

Gao Jianwu asked.
