By the time Yang Lin entered the Wei Na Yan Cheng, the battles in the city had almost finished. Only a small portion of the areas still had battles. The citizens of Gaoguanli had their doors shut tight, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, only behind the doors and windows, pairs of terrified eyes quietly observing everything.

The Gaoguanli Palace was still burning, the flames that shot to the sky burning the clouds red. Yang Lin could not help but frown and blame this Minister of State Li Kuan secretly in his heart. They wanted to create chaos, so why not set the palace on fire?

”Reporting...” When the great army of the Lord General entered the city, both the King Koguryo and the Second Prince were killed by random soldiers. It was unknown who killed them. The Gaoguanli Palace was completely destroyed, and all the members of the royal family were buried in the sea of fire. ” Just then, Bu Yi, who had entered the city first, walked over with a few people and reported to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin nodded, and immediately understood in his heart. No wonder Li Kuan wanted to burn the palace. He was cutting the grass and removing the roots, so that the royal family wouldn't come to take revenge on his Li Family in the future. Even if the King Koguryo s were killed, it was probably because of this Minister of State.

Bu Yi walked over and excitedly introduced him to Yang Lin: ”Lord General, this is Minister of State Li Kuan. He's the one who brought people to burn down Gaoguanli's palace. This is the young master of the Minister of State, Li Yuan, he was the one who attacked the palace, and this is the commander of the Dongjiang army, Li Ping.

”Greetings Lord General.” A few of them kneeled down and bowed respectfully to Yang Lin. Minister of State Li Kuan raised his head and said solemnly: ”Li Kuan and his family vow to follow Lord General until death, to go through fire and water for Lord General.

”Get up.” Yang Lin immediately jumped down from his horse and pulled Li Kuan along. When they stood up, he said solemnly: ”The Li family is very righteous, they have rendered a great service to the imperial army in seizing Wei Na Yan Cheng.

Looking at Li Kuan, he felt a little awkward in his heart. For the safety of his clan, he had actually annihilated the whole family. He was simply too scheming, and had to be careful in the future. He turned his head and looked at Li Na, only to see that this young officer had several heroic skills, and he shouted out loudly: ”Li Na, listen up!”

”This lowly general is here!” Li Na jumped in shock, as he habitually straightened his body and replied loudly. His clan's decision was correct. Following the official army of the Darky Court, might be better than following the official army of the King Koguryo.

”This general ordered you to become the commander of the army and horses of the Xishan. Immediately gather all the soldiers of the Xishan and cooperate with the imperial government to take down the internal city!” Yang Lin had already planned this long ago, he was prepared to give them another great contribution to the Li family.

”Yes sir!” Sure enough, Li Na's eyes lit up, he replied loudly and turned, bringing his personal guards with him. The Gauzeli soldier s under Li Na immediately understood. Although the Koguchi royal family was over, they were still part of the large clan of the Gaoguanli, so they hurriedly followed Li Na.

With regards to Yang Lin's orders, even the experienced Li Kuan was overjoyed. The Wei Na Yan Cheng had already been taken down, so how could the defenses of the inner city resist against it? Even if the main general did not surrender, the soldiers would probably not have any morale.

”Mr. Li Kuan, according to the orders of the imperial government, Xishan Province will be changed to Xishan County. I would like to invite you to be the Surveillance History s to help the Han army restore spring cultivation in Xishan County. In order to tie the Li family onto their chariots, Yang Lin continued to give them sweets.

From Yang Lin's words, Li Kuan immediately understood that the imperial government would not allow any more Gaoguanli s to exist. Li Kuan also knew that the Surveillance History was a small and important position, if he wanted to achieve something, he would have to rely on himself. He quickly stepped forward and said: ”I am willing to work for the Lord General!”

”Lord General, this is the intelligence report that was just delivered.” Zhang Banxian suddenly barged into Yang Lin's tent. Her expression was somewhat solemn as he handed a piece of spongy silk to Yang Lin and found a place to sit down. She said leisurely: ”Lord General, the thing you're worried about finally happened.”

The content of the spongy silk was a bit long. Yang Lin hurriedly swept his eyes over them, but he managed to catch onto a few important points, one was that the imperial government had started to practice the state rule, and two was that the imperial government had ordered him to pacify Zhang Ju and his rebellion before the end of the year. Three was that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were respectively appointed as the taiwai and the Northeast China, and four was Gong Lin and Gong Yi were respectively appointed as the Pingyuan County and the Tung Lai County.

”Sigh …” What should come will eventually come! ” Yang Lin sighed and shook his head helplessly. The wheels of history did not change their trajectory because of Yang Lin's torture. Yang Lin couldn't help but be slightly worried in his heart. Could it be that history was truly irreversible?
