Yuangai Suwen quietly returned to the mansion of the Yuan family in Pyongyang at night, looking at the home that he missed day and night, Yuangai Suwen almost didn't cry, and finally returned home.
"Who" Several of the gate guards of the Yuan clan looked at a person wearing a cloak with a suspicious expression, and immediately came over viciously.
Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice, "It's me, I'm back." ” It's just that in the night, the Yuan family guards didn't recognize him, and his voice was too hoarse.
"Damn, do you think anyone named Hanako can come here, and don't pee like your bear.
This is the Yuan Mansion, the big one against Lu's Mansion, get out. ” The guards scolded.
Yuangai Suwen's narrow eyes narrowed.
He raised his arm and slapped the guard in the face.
A loud slap.
The guard was dumbfounded, and when he reacted, he reached for the knife.
But at this time, Yuangai Suwen had already lifted the cloak on his head, "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, it's Lao Tzu who has returned, don't go and open the door yet." ” The guard put his hand on the hilt of the sword, but he did not dare to pull it out.
He was as if he had seen a ghost, "Aren't you in the Tang Kingdom?"
The person in front of him looked a little like Gai Suwen, but he didn't dare to recognize it.
Because of the huge difference, the son of Gai Suwen in the past, that was the delicate son of the sky, how glamorous.
But now, this person with a stubble beard and only one hand left, is he really a son.
One hand.
He suddenly remembered that Gongzi was said to have been captured after his defeat with the Tang Dynasty and then had one of his hands cut off.
Could it be that the son of Gai Suwen is back.
At this time, the guard at the gate over there saw the movement and came over with a lantern.
"What's going on, who is this man?"
The head of the escort raised the lantern and shone it, and then the frightened faces turned white.
"Childe" Yuangai Suwen had a dark face, "Don't go and open the door yet." ” "Yes."
The head of the guard hurriedly went to open the door with a lantern.
"Don't make a fuss, remember."
Yuangai Suwen stood at the gate, confessed in a deep voice to several guards, and then stepped into the mansion.
"Gaijin, you're back" Yuan Taizuo hurriedly ran out with his clothes on, standing in front of his son and looking around.
"You're back, my God."
"Dad, my son is not filial, so I've been worrying you for a long time."
"Just come back, go, 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 again and again.
"I didn't expect the Tang people to really put you back, it's good to come back."
"Dad, how are you preparing for that matter?"
asked Yuangai Suwen.
"Gaijin, what's the matter" Yuan Taizuo called his son's nickname.
Yuangai Suwen said in a deep voice, "It's the matter of abolishing Gao Jianwu." ” Yuan Taizuo was shocked, "That's just a lie to the Tang people, how can you still take it seriously."
Now that you're back, don't mention it again. ” Hearing his father say this, Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head with a solemn expression.
"Dad, this thing has to be done, there is no turning back when you open the bow."
Yuan Taizuo's brows furrowed.
Yuan Taizuo is the Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, and the Mo Lizhi is a new position that has only appeared in Goguryeo in recent years, and this position is similar to that of Da to Lu, but it has more power than Da to Lu.
If you apply the official position of the Central Plains, the big pair of Lu is equivalent to the prime minister, then Mo Lizhi is the prime minister.
It's like the position of prime minister that Yang Jian set up for himself before usurping the throne.
Yuan Taizuo's position of Mo Lizhi was inherited from his father Yuan Ziyou, and he also inherited the position of Lord Dongdong at the same time.
Yuan Taizuo's father, Yuan Ziyou, inherited the position of the Eastern Lord from the family in his early years, and with the influence of the Yuan family in Goguryeo, he achieved the great Lu step by step, and then got himself the new official position of Mo Lizhi.
The Yuan clan was extremely powerful in the Goguryeo court.
Although Yuan Taizuo said that he inherited the position from his father, he still controlled the government over the years.

In fact, after the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, two forces were formed in Goguryeo, one was the generals of the northern military force represented by Yuan Taizuo, and the other was the ministers who supported King Rongliu represented by the general Ulji Moondeok.
In several major battles against the Sui Dynasty's conquests, Eulji Wendeok was the commander of the Goguryeo side.
Yuan Taizuo later reached a compromise with Eulji Wendeok and other ministers, and jointly supported Gao Jianwu as the 27th king of Goguryeo.
Yuan Taizuo entered the court, and then left his position as the eastern lord to his eldest son, Yuan Gai Suwen.
"Dad, those people in Yizhi Wende have long been plotting with Gao Jianwu to suppress us, and even planning to take away your position as Mo Lizhi.
We can't sit idly by, especially since our son's failure to use troops this time has become an excuse for them to deal with our Yuan family.
My son lost very badly in Datang this time, but during the time I stayed in Datang, I also thought a lot, especially saw a lot. ” "Datang is too powerful, and we can't deal with it at all."
Yizhi Wende has always boasted that he defeated the Sui army three times and defeated the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty.
But Tang and Sui are different, completely different.
The Turks, so powerful, were torn apart by the Tang in just a few years. ” "The Don army will come soon, only this time, they will come from the sea, and we will not be able to resist at all."
Yuan Taizuo looked at his son in surprise, the previous son was young, but full of sharpness, but now he is full of fear of Datang.
"The Tang people are really so powerful" "Father, you should have seen the merchant ships of the Tang people.
The ships used new soft sails, and used many advanced nautical techniques such as watertight cabins, compasses, and sextants.
What was even more terrifying was that the ships they built were faster and larger than these merchant ships, and they also had terrifying firepower, and they loaded them with cannons. ” "Is it a firearm of the Tang people?"
"Yes, you have no idea how strong that artillery is, and at sea, there is no one to 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, and the Tang people promised to let us establish the Korean state. ” Yuan Taizuo didn't believe much about it.
"That's all the words of the Tang people, how can we believe it, when Goguryeo dies, why don't the Tang people annex it themselves, but leave it to us" "You've worked hard all the way back, rest early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Yuan Taizuo felt that his young son was frightened by the Tang people.
"Father, we don't have any other choice, do we?"
"Gao Jianwu and Yizhi Wende are going to deal with us, and the Tang people are going to attack again.
If we win against the Tang people, we will also be eliminated by Yizhi Wende and them in the end, because the Tang people attack, we will definitely bear the brunt of the front. ” "If you lose, it's even worse.
In this case, why don't we gamble that this place is far away from Middle-earth, the Tang Dynasty is beyond the reach of the whip, they need us.
Even if we give Liaodong to Datang at that time, we still have at least the northern part of the peninsula, and there are more northeast places. ” Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath.
"But if we want to launch a mutiny and abolish Gao Jianwu, it is not easy.
Ulji Bundeok has a lot of soldiers under his command, and we don't have much advantage in Pyongyang.
The real power of the Yuan clan is in the northeast.
And the capital of Pyongyang is mainly controlled by the southern faction Ulji Moondeok.
The Yuan family also has strength in Pyongyang, but the strength is not strong enough to abolish Gao Jianwu at will and wipe out Eulji Wende and others.
"Father, we don't need to mutiny right away.
We still have time."
Early the next morning, Yuan Taizuo went to court.
The Yuan family did not reveal the news of Yuan Gai Suwen's return, and Yuan Gai Su Wen also hid at home and did not go out to show up.
Goguryeo Royal Palace.
At the court meeting, Mo Lizhiyuan Taizuo reported a message that the Tang Emperor had divided the Liaodong of Goguryeo to more than 300 nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
And these nobles who took the fiefdom of Liaodong were persuading the emperor to send troops to the east.
This news made the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers angry, and the Tang Emperor actually took their Goguryeo territory to reward his courtiers, which was too shameless.
They scolded angrily, but forgot that although they had occupied Liaodong for more than 200 years, it was the territory of the Central Plains before.
"Your Majesty, since the Tang Emperor has rewarded the land of Liaodong to the nobles of the Tang Kingdom, it has fully exposed his ambitions.
He wants to seize Liaodong, and we have to guard against this. ” Yizhi Wende said calmly, "The Sui Dynasty invaded several times in the past, and the millions of troops could all return, and the Tang people came to attack, so there is no need to be afraid."
As long as the time comes, don't send the hairless young man again.
For example, Mo Lizhi's beloved son, who only talked about the army on paper, and talked about it when he went out on the expedition, but in the end, he buried 50,000 elites of Goguryeo and lost Liaoxi. ” Yuan Taizuo glared angrily at Ezhi Wende.
"Your Majesty, this is not the time for infighting, although the Tang Dynasty is a newly built country, it has unified the Central Plains and defeated Tuyuhun, Turkic and other powerful countries, and now the sword is pointing at Liaodong, we can't be careless.
In particular, this Tang people also have the advantage of firearms, and they have to guard against it.
The old minister has a strategy that can alleviate my urgent need in Goguryeo. ” Gao Jianwu was a little panicked, Goguryeo did repel the Sui army back then, but it was not entirely Goguryeo's strength, especially the second time, it was all thanks to Yang Xuangan's rebellion.

By the third time, it was even more by surrendering to the Sui ministers to let the Sui army retreat, and at that time, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the Sui was unable to march eastward, otherwise, Goguryeo would have died early.
But the war back then also hurt their vitality.
Now that the Tang State is also on a large-scale eastward expedition like the Sui, it will be very dangerous.
"What is the wisdom of the abyss" Yuan Taizuo looked around, and then said his plan loudly.
Lao Chen proposed to build a thousand-mile Great Wall on the east bank of the Liao River.
Mobilize manpower and special forces, concentrate on repairing a Great Wall, and rely on the large and small mountain cities in the rear to build a solid defensive line.
Keep the Tang people out of the country, and never let them invade Liaodong and erode the hinterland. ” "Building the Great Wall" Gao Jianwu's eyes lit up, and even Yizhi Wende felt that Yuan Lao's proposal was actually very reasonable.
"Your Majesty, relying on the Liao River, we will go north to Buyeo and south to Anshi, and we will build a thousand-mile Great Wall.
Blocking the Liao River in front, leaning on the mountain cities with their backs, mobilizing heavy troops to defend this defensive line, guarding the various mountain passes and tunnels leading to the hinterland of our Goguryeo, keeping the enemy out of the country, and ensuring the safety of our Goguryeo. ” "Then what if the Tang people come from the sea," Gao Jianwu asked.
Yizhi Wende said on the side, "Your Majesty, although the Tang people can attack by floating in the sea, the troops they can transport are limited, at most twenty or thirty thousand people.
And this is only a lone army, with no backup, not even food and grass supplies, once they land, they will fight alone.
As long as we hold on to Pyongyang, they will be able to defend themselves.
As long as it is guaranteed that the Tang army cannot attack from the west, then this lone army from the sea will be useless, and it will either retreat by itself or be annihilated by us. ” "The general's intention is also to approve the construction of this Great Wall" Gao Jianwu asked.
Ezhi Wende nodded, "Although it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall, it is worth it.
If we can really build a thousand-mile Great Wall along the Liao River, then we have a great possibility to completely stop the Tang army from the country. ” t1706231537:
