Gao Yuan escaped, and Edzhi Wende also escaped, and the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force had not yet arrived in Pyongyang. This was the best time for the Goguryeo nobles to re-establish the new king according to their own wishes. Just waiting for the fait accompli, the Middle-earth Empire was under pressure from the situation on the peninsula and the Far East, regardless of whether the new Goguryeo king meets their needs, they could only issue an order to admit it.

Galan had already reached a tacit understanding with Gao Ping. As long as he took Pyongyang, Gao Ping would fully control Pyongyang's military and political power. As for how the political situation in Goguryeo develops, Galan only put forward one condition, that is, he must not harm the interests of the empire, otherwise he would interfere. In fact, this is equivalent to supporting Gao Ping ascending the throne in disguise.

With Galan's support, Gao Ping was full of confidence and was bound to win the throne. After Galan entered the city on the 26th, he made a firm support for Gao Ping in front of many powerful people in Goguryeo.

Galan's statement was crucial, which directly affected the choice of the Goguryeo powerful people for the new king.

Gao Lin realized the crisis and a strong survival crisis. Although many nobles in Pyongyang City betrayed the king like him, since the mutiny, the nobles who openly opposed the strategy of Gao Yuan's rise have basically been cleaned up, either killed or fled. The rest either supported Gao Yuan or held a neutral position. Yesterday, it was these nobles who betrayed Gao Yuan to protect their own interests and continued to control the fate of Goguryeo and supported Gao Ping as the new king of Goguryeo. In other words, the core of Pyongyang's national policy is still "rise". But due to the situation, they kept a low profile and just waited for rest and recuperation. Those nobles who controlled the authority of the kingdom still had to start a war and push Goguryeo into the abyss of death.

Of course, how to rebuild Goguryeo and how to develop the political situation are all future matters. For Gaolin and its forces, the most urgent task is how to survive. The nobles led by Gaolin have pragmatic and conservative political ideas. They firmly opposed the rise strategy and even launched mutinies to overthrow Gaoyuan. It was precisely because of their betrayal that led to civil strife in Pyongyang, which accelerated the defeat of Goguryeo. They accelerated the war and gave victory to the Middle-earth Empire, which controlled the fate of Goguryeo. This was an unforgivable crime, and from the perspective of kingdom reconstruction, the existence of Gaolin and its conservative forces also seriously affected the core national policy and the stability of kingdom politics. Therefore, it is natural to take this opportunity to eliminate Gaolin and its conservative forces in time.

Gao Lin and the conservative forces must not be left alone. The current chaotic situation in Pyongyang is not only an opportunity for Gao Ping to kill them, but also an opportunity for them to kill Gao Ping. If the main army of the empire enters Pyongyang, they will lose the opportunity to control their own destiny. However, whether they can obtain Galan's support directly affects the result of the fight.

That night, Galan attended a banquet held by Gao Ping in the palace. The guests and hosts were having fun. When they left, Gao Ping sent him out of the palace. Later, he was escorted by Gao Lin all the way to the north city.

After conquering Pyongyang, Gao Ping controlled the royal palace of Pyongyang, the inner city and outer west cities, Gao Lin controlled the outer city, and the Jialan and the Longwei Army were stationed in the outer city, and the three forces were restrained by each other. After arriving in the north city, Gao Lin said goodbye. Before leaving, he hesitated for a long time, and finally asked. "General, do you remember the promise you had given me before?"

Galan looked at him with a cold expression and nodded slowly, "The time is no longer."

Gao Lin sneered, "General, if someone is demoted tonight, will the general still keep his promise?"

"He dares to kill you?"

"Why didn't he dare to kill someone?"

Galan looked at Gao Lin thoughtfully, but Gao Lin was not afraid, with bright eyes and firm expressions, as if he had made a decision.

After a long time, Galan nodded slowly and turned around and left.

In the early morning of the 27th, Gao Lin suddenly launched an attack and directed his subordinates to launch a fierce attack on Gao Ping and his confidants. For a moment, the inner city and the sound of killing inside the outer city shook the sky, and Pyongyang City fell into a bloody storm again.

The Dragon Guard completed the assembly as quickly as possible, but Galan was slow to issue an attack order.

Many nobles in Pyongyang City were looking at Galan and the Dragon Guards. These nobles were powerful and controlled a considerable number of troops. Some of them had radical political stances, while others were neutral. But at this moment, their personal interests must be above the interests of the kingdom. What does the royal family have to do with their interests? On the contrary, the choice of the imperial team is directly related to their future.

Gao Yuan had no choice but to kill Gao Lin.

He must kill Gao Lin. This not only concerns who will control Goguryeo and who will be the king of Goguryeo, but also whether he can preserve Goguryeo's existing strength to the greatest extent. As long as Gao Lin and his forces want to control Goguryeo, it is equivalent to giving Middle-earth people the opportunity to implement a divisive plan. "The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman will benefit." Middle-earth people can kill Goguryeo without any effort.

Gao Yuan has confidence and strength to kill Gao Lin, and wiped out his power.

Gao Lin is a gambling. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation is for him. Once Gao Ping completely controls Pyongyang, he will be even more slim to win Galan's support. He does not believe Galan's promise. Instead of giving his fate to a foreigner, it is better to try his best to fight to the death, which will give him a chance to break out. Even if he can't win or even die with Gao Ping, he can at least severely hit Gao Ping. Gao Ping is dying, and with Galan's jackal character, how can he spare him? Gao Ping dies, and the power that supports him disappears. In this way, there are few nobles who hold radical political stances who take Goguryeo as his responsibility to rise. This has an immeasurable positive effect on the reconstruction of Goguryeo, the formulation of the future national policy of the kingdom, and the survival and development of Goguryeo.

So, both sides fought desperately, and neither side asked Galan for help.

Gao Ping was unwilling to ask for help, and there were many reasons. With the help of the Imperial Team's power, he would kill each other without any glory even if he won. It was shameful. But more importantly, he was worried that he would fall into Galan's trick. Once Galan stabbed him in the back, his advantage would be gone and the situation would suddenly subvert. However, the fight between snipes and clams, and the fisherman gained profits. This is a fact. If he wants to completely eliminate Gao Lin, he will have to pay a high price. When he is scarred and bloody, he can only let the Imperial Team slaughter.

Gao Ping asked for help from the nobles who were watching coldly or watching the changes. He begged them to put the interests of the kingdom first and help them at critical moments.

Gao Lin is not strong enough, and this move is purely a way to die. But how could Gao Lin be so stupid? Gao Lin's attack was either from the instructed by the Imperial Team. He relied on it, so he was unscrupulous; or he was a gamble. Anyway, he was dead, and he had to drag a cushion before he died, and he had to bite him hard, and maybe he could bite you back to the underworld. But no matter which possibility, the nobles were very scared. If it was the instructed by the Imperial Team. Joining the battlefield would not seek death? If it was Gao Lin's gamble, then Gao Lin is now a mad dog. Whoever bites him will bite him will be unlucky. If Gao Ping will not be compensated, on the contrary, he will only take the blame. After three years of war, the kingdom has become poor and incomplete. The interests are even more serious in the reconstruction process. The interests that can be divided are really limited, and who can be divided is not happy?

Gao Lin bet right. Except for the nobles who firmly supported Gao Ping, Yuzhe still watched coldly and did not dare to move. He was afraid that the fierce imperial tiger that was lying in the northern city would suddenly rush out of the darkness.

As the battle progressed, the situation was also changing quietly.

Gao Lin is desperate. He is fighting hard at all costs. He has the qualifications to fight hard. However, Gao Yuan has various thoughts, worried about this and that, and dare not fight hard. He is especially afraid that Jia Lan will launch a fatal blow at the last moment and swallow both of them in one bite, so he always has the strength to prevent any accidents.

He left his spare time and the others would stop doing it. Now is an extraordinary moment. Whoever has more troops in his hands and has strong strength will take the initiative in the division of interests in rebuilding the kingdom. On the contrary, if the army is completely destroyed and the strength is gone, he will naturally be kicked out of the team of the dividers of interests. Although many nobles support Gao Yuan, they are profitable. Once the prospects are unclear and endanger their own interests, of course they have to "get back". Even if they can still advance and retreat with Gao Yuan, they must be cautious and leave some spare time and not lose all their lives.

As a result, the situation that should have been one-sided, gradually evolved into a even-match. During the stalemate between the two sides, because the Emperor* team was still unmoved, it caused a huge deterrence to the Goguryeo people, which led to more and more nobles choosing to "shoulder". This situation led to some nobles who originally supported Gaoping voluntarily withdrawing from the battlefield. Goguryeo is about to destroy the country, and your uncle and nephew are still brothers and sisters for the throne. Have you ever taken into account the interests of Goguryeo and the interests of us aristocrats? In fact, anyone who is the king of Goguryeo can do it. As long as he takes care of our interests, we will support him. So, your uncle and nephew will fight. Whoever wins will be the king. Don't implicate us.

So the battle situation continued to change. First, the East City controlled by Gao Ping was lost, and then the West City was captured by Gao Lin's army. By dawn, the inner city was broken, and the battle situation had a shattering reversal. Gao Lin, who was originally weak, actually controlled the entire battle situation. Gao Ping, who was sure to win, lost the battle incredibly and was trapped in the palace.

When the news reached Beicheng, Jialan, Fu Duanyi, and Xue Deyin looked at each other, and his face showed disappointment at the same time.

Galan did hold the idea of ​​"a snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gained profit", so he always kept his troops in the North City. He just waited for Gao Ping and Gao Lin to defeat both sides, so he opened his bloody mouth and swept across the entire Pyongyang City. However, the nobles of Goguryeo were very wise and even abandoned Gao Ping in order to preserve their strength. It doesn't matter if Gao Ping dies. At worst, he can change a Gao surname to become a king, as long as it does not harm my interests. However, this will harm the interests of the empire, and Galan will no longer do it.

"General, where is the plan?" Xue Deyin asked in a low voice.

Jialan's eyes showed murderous intent, and a hoarse and cold voice rang in the ears of the generals, "Send the order to kill Gao Lin, kill Gao Ping, and burn the palace."

"Burning the palace?" Xue Deyin was secretly surprised, "The general wants to massacre the city?"

"Since they abandoned the royal family, they will slaughter the Gao family." Jialan sneered, "The Gao family is extinct, the tree falls and the money is scattered, why are you afraid of? Kill!"
