Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

A burly middle-aged man walked out of the team carrying the meat. He strode forward with a smile on his face and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.

"General Zheng, I am a junior commander of the Imperial Guards."

"King Shenwu ascends the throne today, and the whole world celebrates. Let us reward our brothers with some meat and fine wine."

"Except for the North Gate where a great battle was taking place, people also brought meat to the other two gates."

As he spoke, he took out his identity token from his clothes on his chest and handed it respectfully to the horse-faced general in front of him.

"General Zheng, this is my token."

When the commander of the South Gate heard that it was Yeon Gaesomun who sent the imperial guards to deliver meat to them, his expression softened.

He took a closer look at the token and found that it was indeed the guard of the palace, so he excitedly clasped his fists and saluted in the direction of the palace.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

"May the king be more powerful than ever and live forever"

After flattering Yeon Gaesomun, the commander of the South City Gate quickly called all his soldiers over to share the delicious meat together.

The guard at the South City Gate grabbed the lamb leg and started to tear it into pieces. Before long, he had eaten the entire lamb leg clean.

Then he picked up the second leg of lamb and started to bite it while stammering and asking questions.

"Why does this lamb leg have a smell?"

The middle-aged man who was carrying the meat bowed and said, "General Zheng, the sheep was slaughtered yesterday. It's normal that it has a bit of smell because of the hot weather."

"General Zheng, why don't you take a few sips of the palace's treasured wine? That's how delicious it tastes."

After hearing the explanation from the young commander of the imperial guards, the commander of the South Gate did not become suspicious, but instead ordered his soldiers to pour him some wine.

"Sigh~"

He drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp and said with his teeth bared.

"Eat meat and drink wine, it's so fucking fun!"

In less than a cup of tea, thousands of kilograms of meat and hundreds of jars of wine were eaten up by this group of hungry defenders.

"Hiccup~"

The guard at the South Gate burped, then picked up a bamboo stick and picked his teeth contentedly.

He looked at the group of imperial guards in front of him who had not put away the dishes, so he asked in confusion: "Brother, don't we need to take these dishes back?"

The middle-aged man carrying the meat replied with a grim smile: "What do you want to do with bowls used by a dead person?"

"What do you mean?"

The commander of the South City Gate stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the imperial guard in front of him.

"Bang~"

Suddenly there was a sound behind me.

The commander of the South Gate turned around quickly to check, and saw one of his bodyguards who loved drinking fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, more and more soldiers fell to the ground, and most of them were soldiers with higher ranks.

He quickly turned around and shouted, "How dare you...you poison me!"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, then his eyes went dark and his body fell heavily to the ground.

The middle-aged man carrying the meat sneered, "I poured so much poison into the wine, how can you survive?"

As he said this, he glanced at the staggering group of defenders at the South City Gate in front of him, then waved his hand and gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

"Follow the plan!"

These hundreds of armored soldiers were divided into two groups, one group went to open the South Gate, and the other group drew the swords on their waists and launched a bloody massacre against the defenders of the South Gate.

...

Outside the south city gate.

Dozens of large Tang army ships were docked on the wide Taedong River.

Qin Huaidao, leaning against the mast, glanced at the setting sun, and then muttered to Wang Jun beside him.

"General Wang, I'm afraid this insider in Pyongyang is playing tricks on us again."

Wang Jun shook his head in astonishment and said, "Duke Hu, the soldiers on the city wall have been gone for a long time. I'm afraid this time it's real!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the South City Gate was slowly opened from the inside.

Wang Jun was so excited that he shouted, "The city gate is open. Everyone get off the boat and we will attack the city!"

"kill!"

The 5000 Tang soldiers who had been waiting for a long time excitedly left the warships and rushed towards the south gate with spears in their hands.

Wang Jun shouted to the Tang cavalry on the other side of the river: "Hurry up and report to General Hou that the South Gate has been opened!"

The Tang cavalry responsible for the message waved their whips vigorously and ran towards the camp.

Wang Jun was stunned and whispered to Qin Huaidao, "Duke Hu, why don't we lead our troops directly to the Goguryeo Imperial City and destroy Yeon Gaesomun and all the Goguryeo officials!"

"This is the last great feat, we can't miss this opportunity!"

Qin Huaidao replied excitedly when he thought about the great achievement that was just around the corner.

"it is good!"

"General Wang, we will take the enemy's head from among the thousands of soldiers today!"

After they reached a consensus on their goal, they jumped off the tall warship along the ropes with their weapons in hand.

When Wang Jun'e and Qin Huaidao rushed into the south gate, they found thousands of Goguryeo soldiers lying on the ground, and hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers with their arms wrapped in white cloth were being controlled by their people.

A Guoyi captain ran over and pointed at the burly Goguryeo general in front of him and said:

"General Wang, it was this group of people who opened the South Gate for us!"

Wang Jun nodded in astonishment, then strode over and said grimly, "Take us to the Imperial City!"

"General, there are 2 imperial guards in the imperial city. Wouldn't it be too little for you to go there?"

Wang Jun frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take us there immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The middle-aged man who was carrying the meat responded with a bitter face.

Wang Jun'e left 500 soldiers to guard the south gate and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Tang army. He and Qin Huaidao led 4500 people and, under the leadership of this group of Goguryeo traitors, charged towards the direction of the imperial city.

...

Outside the North City Gate.

Inside the Tang Army camp.

"Reporting to all the generals, the south gate has been opened, and General Wang has led 5000 soldiers into the city!"

Hearing the words of the soldiers rushing over from the South Gate, Du He, Hou Junji, Li Ji and others all stood up excitedly.

Hou Junji quickly ordered Zhang Liang: "General Manager Zhang, please lead your 2 navy troops to attack from the south gate!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Liang nodded excitedly.

He then gave orders to the generals on one side: "Chang He, Cheng Mingzhen, Qiu Xiaogong, Liu Yingxing, lead your troops and set off immediately!"

"As ordered!"

These marching commanders who didn't get much credit shouted loudly.

After Zhang Liang led a group of marching generals from Canghai Road to leave, Hou Junji spoke to Li Ji in a deep voice.

"General Manager Li, there are still 1 Baekje soldiers left. I don't think they can hold out for an hour."

"We can prepare our soldiers and be ready to attack the city at any time!"

Li Ji nodded and said, "Okay!"

The main forces of Pyongyang City are all at the north gate. Tying them down will also make it easier for Wang Jun'e and Zhang Liang to act.
