Chapter 302: The Divine Soldiers From the Near Sea, Pointing to Pyongyang

It must be said that the prime minister of the Goguryeo Dynasty, Li Zhenghao, had a good plan. With just a few words, he put the Goguryeo Dynasty in an invincible position where it could move forward and backward freely.

His opinion was also in line with the wishes of the Treasure King Gao Zang.

At the age of thirty, Gao Zang was at the time when his energy, physical strength and ambition were the most inflated. He also wanted to take this opportunity to make himself the first person in the 700 years since the founding of the Goguryeo Dynasty.

Even if he lost the battle with the Tang Dynasty and had to sign a new alliance and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Zang would not suffer any loss;

It was nothing more than making the same choice as his ancestors for 700 years.

But once he succeeded and made the Goguryeo Dynasty independent of the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty, then Gao Zang would definitely be successful and famous, and would become the first person in the history of the Goguryeo Dynasty.

Just like the heroes of the Central Plains dynasties, no one could resist the temptation of the eight characters "received the mandate from heaven, long life and eternal prosperity", Gao Zang, the king of the Goguryeo Dynasty, naturally could not resist the temptation of "independently establishing a country and establishing himself as an emperor".

Therefore, Gao Zang, who was sitting on the throne of the hall, immediately made a decision and said: "Li Xiangguo's words make sense. Regarding the diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, we should do as Li Xiangguo said;"

Then, he said to Gai Shiwen: "Mr. Gai, you should also start preparing. With Mr. Gai sitting in the back, I believe the soldiers on the front line can also put down their psychological burdens and fight bravely!"

"Minister, minister obeys your order!"

At this point, the sober Gai Shiwen had to bite the bullet and accept the order.

However, no one noticed that a trace of lament flashed in Gai Shiwen's turbid eyes.

He knew that it would be good to win this battle, even if he could hold his ground against the Tang army, but he could not lose the battle.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would be very uncomfortable sitting at the negotiation table!

In this way, the Goguryeo Dynasty, at the court on March 20th of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the then Treasure King Gao Zang personally decided on the diplomatic strategy with the Central Plains Tang Dynasty.

Immediately, Ma Xidong, the general of the Ministry of War of the Goguryeo Dynasty, began to dispatch troops and send 200,000 reinforcements to Yizhou City, and even packed up the fireworks and firecrackers in the entire Pyongyang City and sent them to Yizhou for training.

Just as the Goguryeo Dynasty was busy dispatching troops and sharpening their swords to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army in Yizhou City, they did not know that the Tang Navy fleet, which was actually responsible for the surprise attack on the Goguryeo Dynasty, had already bypassed the Yellow Sea without anyone noticing, and pointed its sword directly at the capital Pyongyang.

At dawn on March 21, the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhaowu reign.

After seven days of sailing, the navy fleet led by Qi Jiguang, Duke Dingguo of the Tang Dynasty, finally bypassed the Changshan Islands and arrived at the offshore waters outside the Goguryeo capital of Pyongyang.

On this day, the sea was calm, and the rising sun jumped over the sea level and slowly rose. Its red and round appearance was like a big red lantern hanging on the sea and sky.

On the deck of the "Miewo" super battleship of the Tang Dynasty's navy fleet, the third generation Jin King Chen Longxiang, wearing a golden battle armor, was holding the young former Lingwu Emperor Chen Lingwu, standing proudly on the deck of the "Miewo", with a firm gaze looking straight at the coastline of the Goguryeo capital of Pyongyang.

Chen Longxiang was full of vigor and said to Chen Lingwu in his arms, pointing to the coastline outside Pyongyang: "Little Lingwu, how about I take down the island across the sea and give it to you as a fiefdom?"

"You are my brother's adopted son, which means you are a prince of the Tang Dynasty. You and I should have your own fiefdom!"

"Look, this Goguryeo Peninsula is pretty good. You will live on that island in the future, okay?"

"Okay!"

Chen Lingwu nodded as if he understood, and answered Chen Longxiang's words crisply.

As he spoke, Chen Longxiang felt a fragrance like orchid and musk coming from behind him.

Then, a pair of slender hands as white as onion roots came from behind him to the front, draped a scarlet cloak on Chen Longxiang's body, and tied the rope of the cloak for him.

"Prince, it's cold, put on a cloak!"

Behind him, the fragrant and soft Jiangnan accent of the former Queen Mother Su Wan'er came.

Chen Longxiang was startled, his ears became hot and red again, and he said without turning his head: "Thank you!"

"Report--"

"General, the Duke invites you!"

Suddenly, the appearance of the messenger interrupted the somewhat awkward and ambiguous atmosphere on the deck of the "Miewo".

Hearing that Duke Dingguo Qi Jiguang was looking for him, Chen Longxiang hurriedly returned Chen Lingwu to Su Wan'er, looking at her with burning eyes, but in the end he still couldn't say a word.

Then, in Su Wan'er's resentful eyes, he left the deck without looking back and rushed to the small boat that came to pick him up to discuss matters on Duke Dingguo's ship.

Hey--

Su Wan'er's sigh was full of complex emotions.

Ever since Chen Longxiang and Su Wan'er met for the first time in Jiaozhou City, Su Wan'er clearly felt that Chen Longxiang, the brother of the current emperor Chen Huaian and the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, had a special feeling for her.

Born in this turbulent time, and being the mother and son of the former empress and the young emperor of the fallen country, if they want to gain a foothold in the new dynasty and seek a place, they must have a backer behind them.

Su Wan'er, who grew up quickly in the hardships of life and the experience of exile, naturally understood this.

So, when she discovered that Chen Longxiang, who was in his youth, revealed his special feelings for her, she began to intentionally or unintentionally close the distance between her and Chen Longxiang, maintaining an ambiguous relationship.

Qi Jiguang, the Duke of Dingguo and the Admiral of the Navy of the Tang Dynasty, naturally knew this.

However, he did not mention this in the memorial submitted to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian.

On the one hand, Qi Jiguang, as the commander-in-chief of the army, did not want to shake the morale of the vanguard general Chen Longxiang;

On the other hand, it seemed difficult for him, a minister, to intervene in the emotional entanglement of the imperial family, so he could only let the matter develop.

Soon, Chen Longxiang took a commuting boat and arrived at the "Tang" super battleship where Qi Jiguang was.

The model and configuration of this super battleship are the same as the "Miewo".

On the deck of the "Da Tang" super warship, Duke Dingguo Qi Jiguang, wearing Mingguang armor and wearing the imperially bestowed Seven-Star Dragon Abyss sword, stared at the approaching coastline.

"General--"

At this time, Chen Longxiang, who had boarded the "Da Tang", took the initiative to greet Qi Jiguang.

"General Chen, here we come!"

Qi Jiguang turned around and looked at Chen Longxiang, who was wearing golden armor, and said solemnly: "In another half an hour, my Da Tang Navy fleet will launch a landing operation against Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo;"

"You will lead the landing battle!"
