Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 391 Minister of the DPRK

Yang Yanzhang sighed and said, "What plans can I have now? The Alliance of Aristocratic Families in the World is preparing to attack me, and the ordinary people regard me as an enemy. Alas, it seems that my throne is not secure. .”

"Your Majesty, I believe that the top priority is to convene the ministers immediately to discuss the next response. After all, the family is powerful and it will not be easy for us to fight against them." Yang Ye said softly.

"Well, what Yang Aiqing said makes sense." Yang Yanzhang nodded slightly.

Yang Yanzhang immediately summoned the ministers of the court, and then people came to the tower one after another. Looking at the scene in the distance, everyone was shocked.

Goguryeo, which was prosperous and prosperous last night, has now been turned into ruins, with corpses strewn everywhere and devastated. This war is too tragic.

"Dear dear friends, I received news yesterday that the royal family of Goguryeo, Gao Jiande and his elite army, were all dead." Yang Yanzhang said in a deep voice.

"What? Gao Jiande died in the battle?" An old man stood up suddenly and exclaimed.

Another official said: "How is this possible? Didn't His Majesty send 30,000 elite troops to Goguryeo?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, how could your army be completely wiped out?" Someone else asked doubtfully.

Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and said: "This matter is my fault. I only cared about myself and forgot to let 30,000 elites go to support first. As a result, the noble families of Goguryeo took advantage of the loophole.

Taking advantage of the confrontation between our army and Goguryeo, we suddenly launched an attack. If I hadn't responded in time, I might have died long ago, and we wouldn't be in today's situation. "

As soon as Yang Yanzhang said these words, everyone's expressions changed.

"Your Majesty, no wonder you are besieged by the Family Alliance. It turns out it's because you didn't listen to my advice!" Yang Ye said with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although you are a noble person, you must not act willfully. If something happened to you, wouldn't the entire Tang Dynasty be in chaos?" Another minister also agreed.

Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly, glared and said: "Yang Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, you two are right. I know that you two are loyal, loyal and patriotic people. But you should not pass the responsibility to me."

Yang Ye and the official named Chen were immediately speechless and did not dare to say any more.

Yang Yanzhang looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, who was standing in the crowd with his head lowered and said: "Your Highness, I ask you, was it you who made the march plan last night?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Father, I wanted to personally supervise and direct, but I am incompetent."

"Incompetent, as my most trusted Crown Prince, you actually said such a thing. Do you think I will bring down the entire Tang Dynasty?" Yang Yanzhang shouted with an expression of hatred for iron.

"Don't dare, I didn't mean it this way." Li Chengqian was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees.

Yang Yanzhang continued: "Since that's not what I meant, please tell me about the current situation."

Li Chengqian raised his head, looked at Yang Yanzhang and said: "Reporting to my father, according to the spies' reports, the Aristocratic Family Alliance mobilized a total of 100,000 troops last night, led by Gao Jiande, to outflank them from east, west, north and south.

This included 8,000 cavalry, 6,000 infantry, 50,000 civilians, as well as a large amount of food and supplies. The total number of troops reached about 160,000, among which all the Goguryeo royal family and important Goguryeo generals were killed.

There were only 10,000 remnants of the Tang royal family's army left and 8,000 imperial troops guarding the capital. The remaining 50,000 troops were refused transfer orders by various states and counties, and are now being deployed in various places to suppress the rebellion. "Yang Yanzhang frowned and said: "The five thousand elite cavalry and five thousand infantry that Gao Jiande took away are the most elite guards in the Goguryeo Palace. In other words, there are only 30,000 forbidden troops left in the Goguryeo Palace. "

After Yang Yanzhang finished speaking, all the courtiers fell into silence. Everyone understood that these 30,000 forbidden troops were just a drop in the bucket and could not withstand the 160,000 troops of the Family Alliance.

What's more, there are several direct subordinates of Gao Jiande in the Family Alliance, with a combined strength of more than 160,000.

At this moment, a man wearing armor and a silver cloak stood up, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead a battalion of three thousand knights to help your Majesty repel the enemy and recapture the capital."

"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead ten thousand elite cavalry to accompany him." At this time, another military attache also jumped out and said.

Seeing this, Yang Yanzhang's expression softened slightly, and he looked at the two people in front of him with a pleased smile: "Haha, okay! With your loyalty and courage, we will definitely win."

Yang Yanzhang glanced at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "Pingshen!"

The two generals had just straightened up when Yang Yanzhang's face suddenly hardened and he shouted sternly: "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"I'm so scared!" The two men hurriedly bowed their heads and held their hands together, saying in unison.

"This sudden use of troops by the Aristocratic Family Alliance against Goguryeo must have been premeditated. This is a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy carried out by the Aristocratic Family Alliance against our Tang Dynasty. It wants me to lose my position as a sage." Yang Yanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise, this alliance of aristocratic families is really a wolf, tiger, and leopard. How can your Majesty, with his rich body, fight against them? The best thing to do is to evacuate Goguryeo." Another minister jumped out to advise.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although the Family Alliance has conquered Goguryeo, it may not be that simple if they want to occupy the entire Tang Dynasty. In fact, their target may even be the Gyeonggi region in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty." Another person also said said.

Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly and said: "If it is the capital of our Tang Dynasty, then that's it. Unfortunately, I have already agreed to the alliance of aristocratic families there.

Once we retreat, we are giving up the entire land. Those alliances of aristocratic families will definitely attack our hinterland, and then the Tang Dynasty will be in danger! "

"Your Majesty, this is not something we can decide. We still request your Majesty to withdraw from Goguryeo immediately." At this time, another minister said.

At this moment, another person shouted loudly: "No, if His Majesty retreats, where will Datang's face be left?"

"Then what should Datang do according to your wishes?" Yang Yanzhang turned to look at the minister and shouted angrily.

Yang Yanzhang's expression was very angry at this time. He clenched his fists and exuded a strong evil spirit, which frightened the minister to the ground.

The minister trembled for a moment, then said bravely: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. If we back down and spread the word, it will definitely chill the people and weaken the fortune of the Tang Dynasty.

I believe that if we continue to fight, we will be subject to chaos. It is better for us to gather all the troops from across the country and fight to the death with the Family Alliance. "

"Oh? So you have a good idea?" Yang Yanzhang asked with narrowed eyes.
