Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Seeing that Li Ji and Hou Junji attached so much importance to a small country like Baekje, Du He finally understood why they could be called military gods.

They not only understood Baekje's strength, but also understood Buyeo Yiji's heart.

Xue Rengui listened carefully throughout the whole process and gained a lot.

Du He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you both uncles for your guidance. I have learned a lot from you!"

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, and Du He said goodbye to them.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Hou, I am going to lead my army south, so I will take my leave now."

Having said that, Du He took Xue Rengui and turned to leave.

Before they had taken a few steps, Hou Junji's voice rang out from behind.

"Nephew Du, wait a minute!"

Du He paused, turned around slowly and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uncle Hou, do you have any other instructions?"

Hou Junji walked up to Du He with a smile on his face. He not only pulled him to sit on a cushion beside him, but also personally poured him a cup of hot tea.

"It's weird!"

Du He felt uneasy about Hou Junji's unwarranted courtesy.

He quickly said, "Uncle Hou, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Hehe, it's nothing serious." Hou Junji pointed at the steaming tea and said, "Nephew Du, have some tea first. You came all the way to Pyongyang, it would be wrong for us not to treat you to a cup of hot tea."

Li Ji guessed Hou Junji's intention and sat down with a smile on his face.

After drinking a few large cups of tea.

Hou Junji then rubbed his hands and said, "My nephew Du, Pyongyang is not easy to attack. The city walls are high and built on the ridge."

"You are the deputy commander-in-chief of the central army, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that you are his top think tank."

"You need to give Uncle Hou and Uncle Li some advice and see if there are any other ways to attack the city besides building a dirt hill."

Before Du He could answer, Hou Junji spoke immediately.

"Except for the tactic of throwing the bodies of Xueyantuo soldiers, you should think of some other less heartless strategies."

What the hell.

What a heartless scheme!

Du He glanced speechlessly at Hou Junji who was grinning evilly.

Obviously, the method he proposed to break into the city was very good, but these people were afraid to use it for the sake of their so-called reputation as generals.

Besides, he had racked his brains to come up with this solution, so what other ideas did he have?

Du He spread his hands and said, "Uncle Hou, I really don't have any idea."

Hou Junji crossed his arms and said, "I don't believe it!"

puff~

Du He almost couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.

Why does this tone and manner seem so familiar?

Li Ji picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Du He. "Don't worry, nephew Du. Think about it carefully. Uncle Li thinks you must have a solution."

"How about we take you around Pyongyang? You'll definitely get some inspiration after seeing this city wall."

Facing the sharp gazes from Hou Junji and Li Ji, Du He's mouth couldn't help but tremble a few times.

Good guy!

Du He himself didn't know when he became so capable.

Li Chengqian is a guy who is always looking for trouble. He has to praise him so highly without any connection with reality.

"Hey~"

Du He sighed secretly and began to think with his head down.

Hou Junji saw Du He start to think, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, nephew Du, take your time to think about it, this is just a discussion among the three of us."

"Uncle Hou will have someone roast a lamb later to reward you."

internal!

These two words, like a spark that ignited a flash of inspiration, instantly sparked Du He's inspiration.

At present, all the siege methods considered by Li Ji and Hou Junji are to break through Pyongyang from the outside, but they have never thought of breaking through Pyongyang through internal forces.

Seeing Du He's expression suddenly change, Li Ji and Hou Junji asked expectantly.

"Nephew Du, have you thought of a plan to break into the city?"

Du He nodded slightly.

Hou Junji said excitedly: "As expected of a young man, you have a very sharp brain. Tell us what you have planned!"

Du He said softly, "Yeon Gaesomun was a bloodthirsty person. He not only killed King Yeongryu Go Geonmu, but also slaughtered hundreds of ministers loyal to King Yeongryu."

"Although Go Zang was supported by Yeon Gaesomun as the new king of Goguryeo, he was just a puppet at the mercy of others."

"I wish to chop those who were oppressed by Yeon Gaesomun into pieces."

“As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Du He stopped talking here in time.

Because of the specific arrangements that followed, the two experienced generals, Li Ji and Hou Junji, must have thought more thoroughly than him.

It was quiet for a long time.

Hou Junji said happily: "My dear nephew Du, you really woke me up with your words!"

"Because Yeon Gaesomun, the traitor, wants to seize power and usurp the throne, the people in Pyongyang are already divided. Many officials and people who are loyal to the Gao royal family are eager to eat his blood and flesh!"

"If we spread the word that we will only kill the bandit leader Yeon Gaesomun in this battle, the others in the city will definitely have some ideas!"

In the wars of the previous few months, the reason why Goguryeo put up such a fierce resistance was because the Tang army slaughtered people on a large scale after breaking into the city.

In order to survive, these Goguryeo officials and soldiers had to temporarily abandon their hatred for Yeon Gaesomun and focus on dealing with the Tang army.

Li Ji nodded and stroked his beard, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. My nephew Du is as smart as a demon. He has the talent of Zhang Liang and Kong Ming!"

Finished!

This time it got darker the more I washed it.

I don't know what kind of master Li Chengqian, Hou Junji and others will brag about him as after he returns to Chang'an.

If one's virtue does not match his position, disaster will surely occur!

Du He quickly stood up and said goodbye, "My two uncles, since we have an idea of how to break into the city, I have to set off as well."

"It's getting late now. We have to get to Kaesong before dark."

Kaesong was a large city at the southern end of Goguryeo, dozens of miles away from Baekje.

The army started the attack there and reached the city of Xiongjin in more than an hour.

Hou Junji waved his hand and said, "Nephew Du, we won't send you any more. Uncle Hou is waiting for the good news of your great victory."

This old man just said he would treat him to roast lamb, but he forgot it so quickly now.

Li Ji stood up and said, "My dear nephew Du, even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Although Baekje is weak, it is not incapable of hurting people."

"You hold the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in your hands. You must be extremely careful!"

This was the first time that Du He took the initiative to lead troops into battle. Li Ji was afraid that he would be too young and impetuous to gain merit and act rashly, so he gave him special instructions.

As he spoke, Li Ji also took down the map of Baekje's territory and handed it to Du He.

"Nephew Du, this picture is useless hanging here, you can use it."
