Chapter 740: Win a city at the beginning

Goguryeo had more than a hundred cities and was of extraordinary strength.

As Pyongyang and Seoul are densely populated, there are also many surrounding cities.

Suwon Fortress is one of them.

As a city next to Seoul and close to Baekje, although the prosperity of Suwon City cannot be compared with Pyongyang and Seoul, it can be regarded as a relatively influential city in Goguryeo.

The most important thing is that an uprising here will not only have an impact on Goguryeo, but also affect the neighboring Baekje and Silla.

As the former crown prince of Goguryeo, Gao Huanquan was relatively well-known in the peninsula.

The most important thing is that his position is recognized by everyone. Now that he stands up to start an uprising, the impact will naturally be different.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As more than a dozen crossbows controlled by personnel from the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of Prince Chu's Palace appeared on the battlefield, Suwon City's last resistance force collapsed completely.

"General He's military training is indeed extraordinary. With such a thousand elites, even taking Seoul is not impossible."

Gao Huanquan followed the army from a distance, feeling very excited.

After capturing Suwon Castle, his uprising was considered a successful first step.

The most important thing is that the assistance that East China Sea Fisheries can provide seems to be much stronger than he imagined.

As for whether he can control the East China Sea fishery in the future, this is not a question Gao Huanquan is willing to think about now.

After I die, who cares about the flood?

By cooperating with Donghai Fisheries, I hope to regain the throne of Goguryeo.

But if he doesn’t cooperate, Yeon Gae So Moon can chop him into pieces without even having to do anything from Donghae Fisheries.

He is not a fool, he naturally knows how to make choices.

"Prince, it depends on your performance next. There are eight hundred captive soldiers in Suwon City, plus tens of thousands of young people in the city. As long as you can encourage half of their personnel to join us, we can

Immediately march to the next city."

The battle went more smoothly than he imagined, and He Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, in order to ensure the smooth capture of Suwon City, he transferred all the elites from the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of the Prince of Chu's Palace into the revolting army, and also brought over all the immigrants from the Sui Dynasty who had been gathered at the beginning.

If it fails, then Datang's influence in Goguryeo will fall to a new historical low.

"Don't worry, I am the prince after all! It is a legitimate thing to raise troops to clear the king's side. Suwon City has been captured now, and there are several surrounding cities. It will not be difficult to do so."

Gao Huanquan took a deep breath and began to consider his next move.

Soldiers are valuable and quick, he also understands this principle.

While Yeon Gaesomun has not yet reacted, and the army on the border is still fighting against Silla, it is the right way to occupy a few more cities as soon as possible and attract more people to join.

"Prince, I have a suggestion. Whether it is Suwon Castle or other surrounding cities, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few nobles, and a large part of these nobles support Yeon Gae So-moon. If we capture the city,

, divide all the land of these nobles equally among the people who follow us, and tell the people that as long as they follow our rebel army, they can live a good life in which 'every family has a field and everyone has clothes to wear'."

Kujo Hiroyuki thought of the advice Li Kuan gave him a few days ago and couldn't help but want to clap his hands to celebrate.

As long as the rebels have this slogan, the number of people who follow them will definitely increase dramatically, and their influence will be huge.

As for whether this policy will be implemented later, this is not what Li Kuan and Kujo Hiroyuki care about at all.

As long as Goguryeo can be messed up and Tang Dynasty can easily occupy Liaodong, this will be enough.

"Huh? This idea..."

Gao Huanquan couldn't help but exclaimed, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, "Shopkeeper Jiutiao, your suggestion is so quick! For the common people, if they join us, they will have the opportunity to be allocated several acres, or even dozens of acres of land, then

No matter how great the risk is, many people will defect to us. Haha, now I am not worried about the shortage of troops, but I have to consider whether the weapons are enough."

"Prince, don't worry, Donghai Fishery has a merchant ship carrying swords that will dock near Seoul. At that time, as long as we capture Seoul, we can hand over the ordnance directly there."

Kujo Hiroyuki couldn't help but praise Li Kuan for his advance arrangements.

After the rebel troops led by Gao Huanquan captured Suwon Castle, they immediately began to ransack homes.

All nobles who support Yeon Gae So Moon will have their homes confiscated.

Even those who supported Gao Huanquan would inevitably have to spend money to eliminate disasters.

And all this money will eventually fall into the hands of Donghai Fisheries.

"That's great! With Mr. Kujo's assistance, it's even more powerful. Don't worry, I, Gao Huanquan, will definitely offer a price that satisfies Donghai Fishery for this batch of ordnance."

After hearing Kujo Hiroyuki's words, Gao Huanquan immediately stopped calling him Kujo Shopkeeper, and instead called him Mr. Kujo.

Looking at him like this, it really feels like he is being cultivated as a great opponent.

"Prince, I have another suggestion. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Seeing that Gao Huanquan was in a good mood, Kujo Hiroyuki felt that he could make another suggestion.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Currently, Goguryeo, led by Yeongaesumun, is fighting against Silla. I heard that Yeongaesumun's confidant and favorite general Kwon Mansin and his eldest son Yeonmangang, together with more than 30,000 Goguryeo elites, are allied with Baekje.

We are attacking Silla together. The so-called enemy of our enemy is our friend. I think your prince, you can arrange for troops to go to Silla to express your willingness to cooperate with Silla to deal with Yeon Gaesumun."

As the person in charge of the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of the Prince of Chu in Goguryeo, Kujo Hiroyuki naturally knew that Goguryeo and the Silla people had been fighting fiercely for more than half a month, and that the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces clearly had the upper hand. Although the Silla people had the strength of the whole country,

I'm resisting, but I still can't change the situation of losing ground.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this was a plan by General Kim Yu-shin, the commander-in-chief of Silla, to lure the enemy deeper.

"Silla people..."

Gao Huanquan showed a hesitant expression on his face.

As the crown prince of Goguryeo, he naturally knew that Goguryeo and Silla had always been at odds. Both Gao Jianwu and himself had the dream of unifying the three kingdoms.

Now that he has to join forces with his former imaginary enemy, he still can't accept it.

"Prince, the Silla people are suffering from scabies after all. Even if we cooperate with them, we will not lose anything. Even if we really lose some benefits, we can still get them back in the end."

Kujo Hiroyuki saw that Gao Huanquan was a little hesitant and immediately started persuasion mode.

"It's the lesser of two evils. Although by cooperating with the Silla people, it is very likely that part of our Goguryeo city will be briefly occupied by them, but as long as we successfully defeat Yeon Gaesumun, with the strength of our Goguryeo people, the Silla people

Do you still dare to occupy the city and not give it back? Besides, the situation of the Silla people is not good now. It is also a good thing for them that the prince is willing to cooperate with them, and he should not make too many unreasonable demands."

"Okay! I listen to you sir! I hope that I can work hard with you in the future to defeat Yeongaesumun, then destroy Baekje and Silla, and establish a unified and powerful Goguryeo Dynasty. By then, Kujo-kun, you can also become a

A person who is famous throughout the ages."

While Gao Huanquan agreed, he lost no time in drawing a pie for Kujo Hiroyuki.
