Chapter 3122 Find out the details
The previous capital of Goguryeo was Domestic Castle and Wandu Castle on the Yalu Plains in the upper reaches of the Yalu River, and the "Pingrang Earth Castle" was built around it. It was later abandoned and the capital was moved to Pingrang Castle on the bank of the Xishui River. This city was the former capital of the "Jizi Joseon" and "Wei's Joseon" periods, and had been abandoned for a long time. Therefore, Goguryeo "added Pingrang City" and built a large amount of construction on its original site, making it the leading city in Liaodong. It is the economic, cultural and military center of the Sanhan region.
Therefore, the original Tairahara Castle near Maruto Castle was called "Kamihirahara", but today's Tairahara Castle is called "Shimohirahara" by the world.
"The king lives in Pingrang City, also known as 'Chang'an City'. The city is six miles east and west. It is the hometown of Lelang County in Han Dynasty. It is surrounded by mountains and is surrounded by Xushui River in the south."
Goguryeo rose in Liaodong and admired the culture of the Central Plains, so it called its capital "Chang'an City", hoping to dominate the north and south and dominate the east and west like the mighty Han Dynasty in the past.
The "Anhak Palace" built against the mountain at the southern foot of Daeseong Mountain in the north of the city was once the residence of several generations of Goguryeo emperors. Now it has long been abandoned. The royal palace was moved to Pingrang City, and the "Anhak Palace" became a garrison. Relying on the favorable location , be prepared for enemies coming from the north to attack Pingrang City.
The water flows from east to west until it is blocked by Dacheng Mountain near Pyongyang. Then it turns south and submerges part of Dacheng Mountain, forming Lingluo Island in the middle of the river. The river flows south, is blocked by mountains, and flows straight into the sea in the west.
To the west, there is the ordinary river coming from north to south. The meandering river course with the Xishui River surrounds a piece of flat land here, and Pingrang City was built on it.
Exiting the Qixing Gate in the northeast of Pingrang City is the winding Dacheng Mountain. The "Anhe Palace" is built at the foot of the mountain. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It protects Pingrang City...

*****
Changsun Chong and his entourage arrived at the gate of Anhe Palace. The captain had already received the order from Damolizhi Mansion in advance, so he was waiting here.
"At the end of the day, Gao Tielia has met the crown prince and the eldest grandson!"
The captain quickly stepped forward to salute.
Although Boy Yuan is not much liked by Da Molizhi, after all, his righteousness is still there and cannot be neglected. The fair-skinned Changsun Chong has even made an engagement with Da Molizhi's beloved daughter. Now he is the "Zaoyi ancestor" of Da Molizhi Mansion, and can be regarded as Da Molizhi's adjutant, with great authority.
Especially since Changsun Chong has been entrusted by the Da Moli branch to guard the Anhe Palace, he is regarded as his immediate superior. Even if he doesn't like to see the Tang people in his heart, he doesn't dare to be dissatisfied at all...
Boy Yuan nodded slightly and said: "No courtesy!"
Then he introduced to Chang Sun Chong: "Gao Xiaowei is the only son of General Gao Huizhen. He is a handsome young man and is deeply trusted by his father."
Changsun Chong also nodded when he saw that Gao Tie Li was a handsome and young man, a serious second-generation official. In the future, as our colleagues become officials, we should support each other, forge ahead, and live up to the trust of Da Molizhi.”
Gao Tieli was previously worried that this descendant of the Tang Dynasty family would become more arrogant and difficult to get along with after becoming Da Molizhi's son-in-law. Now he saw that he did not put on a condescending face, but was approachable, and he felt very good about him. He was busy Said: "This is how it should be!"
Then, they were welcomed into Anhe Palace.
Changsun Chong came here for the first time. Accompanied by Yuan Nanshan and Gao Tieli, he first walked around Anhe Palace to familiarize himself with the terrain.
Speaking of which, Yuan Nan almost regarded Changsun Chong as a life-saving straw now. He believed that Goguryeo could not resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty and would fall sooner or later. Once Goguryeo fell, the Yuan clan could only rely on Changsun Chong to establish a relationship with the Guanlong nobles behind him in order to survive. Therefore, not only did he not have the airs of the great Moli branch prince to Changsun Chong, but he defended him everywhere and tried his best to communicate with him. OK...
After all, Anhae Palace was once the residence of the Goguryeo royal family. Although it has been abandoned for many years, the planning of the city is still complete and orderly.
The palace city is slightly rhombus-shaped in plan, with each side about 600 meters long. The city walls are made of earth and stone. There are more than 50 large and small buildings in the city, which are arranged symmetrically into five groups according to the undulating terrain - there are South Palace, Middle Palace and North Palace along the central axis, East Palace in the northeast and West Palace in the northwest.
Each palace is surrounded by a large cloister, and each group of buildings is connected by corridors.
There are also two independent palaces built in the east of the city. There are gardens with rockeries to the north of the North Palace and the west of the South Palace. Now one of the palaces has become the residence of the military commanders stationed here, and the other is used as a government office for daily handling of official affairs.
There is a river passing through the center of the city, and there are natural moats on the east and west sides of the city.
All the way to the north along Dacheng Mountain is the famous "Dacheng Mountain Mountain Castle", which is garrisoned with heavy troops and serves as an iron gate to defend Pingrang City.
In terms of task distribution, Dachengshan Mountain Castle is "externally" responsible for defending against enemies from the north and south; Anhe Palace is "internally" responsible for guarding the Seven Star Gate and the Ordinary Gate. If there is unrest in the city, troops can be dispatched after asking the superior for instructions. Enter the city to maintain order.
To put it simply, the army of Anhak Palace was Yeon Gaesomun's "private army". Their functional tasks were even similar to that of the left and right garrison guards outside Xuanwu Gate. However, the left and right garrison guards were the troops of the Tang emperor and were responsible for guarding Xuanwu Gate. , to protect the palace, and the army of Anhak Palace is the basis for Yeon Gae Suwen to control Pingjang City.
Such an army that is completely loyal to Yeon Gaesumun is stationed outside Qixingmen and can suddenly enter Pyongrang City and control everything. Who dares to resist Yeon Gaesumun's rule?
Even the Goguryeo royal family had to be honest, otherwise they would be massacred in an instant.
……
The palace, which serves as the military government office, has been in disrepair for a long time and is very dilapidated. It does not have many gorgeous decorations, but the interior is kept very simple.
Boy Yuan and Changsun Chong entered the hall together, sat for a while and then left.
After Mr. Yuan left, Changsun Chong waved to Gao Tieli to sit down and asked with a smile: "Xiandi is a person who has made meritorious deeds, so he must have a good family background. I am not very familiar with things in the military. I will need Xiandi in the future." Please help me a lot. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, Da Molizhi will be furious and it will involve a lot of things, and I won’t be able to explain it to you as a brother.”
I can't explain it, so I have to hold you back.
Gao Tieli heard the unfinished meaning in Changsun Chong's words and couldn't help but grit his teeth, feeling a little annoyed.
This is your first day in office, and you are just an "ancestor of Zaoyi" from the Great Moli branch. You have no official military position in the imperial court. You only have the responsibility of supervision, but no authority to order. So you start talking like this. Are you using a tiger skin as a banner?
However, when he thought that Chang Sun Chong had another identity as Yuan Gaisuwen's future son-in-law, he was not only angry but also a little frightened. Although he is the son of Gao Huizhen, and he is considered to have a good reputation and a strong background in Goguryeo, he cannot compare with the affection of his father-in-law. The violent temperament of "I will perish"...
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he had to say: "It's easy to talk, the general has always admired the young master's demeanor, and now I am working under the young master, I am really lucky. In the future, if you are given orders, don't dare to disobey."
"Haha, that's great!"
Changsun Chong asked someone to make a pot of tea and then poured it for Gao Tieli with his own hands. He said slowly: "Nowadays, the situation is changing and the situation is changing. We are the subordinates of Da Molizhi, and we should protect Da Moli." I will devote myself to the interests of others and die for myself."
Gao Tieli stood up quickly, took the tea cup with both hands, sat down again, nodded and said: "Young Master is right."
Although I felt uncomfortable with Chang Sun Chong's high profile when he first came up, I also understood that what Chang Sun Chong said made sense. However, with his qualifications, it was difficult for him to see Yeon Gaesomun asking for instructions in person, so he could only treat Yeongaesomun's son-in-law as a superior official and obey his words.
Changsun Chong nodded, very satisfied, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "My dear brother, do you know the details of the defense of the mountain city in Dacheng Mountain?"
High-Speed Railway Lidao: "Dachengshan Mountain Castle is under the charge of Yuan Jingtu, Da Molizhi's brother, and Anhegong is a part of Pingrang City's defense. They have the responsibility of coordinating and supporting each other, but they are not under each other's control. If you want to know the defense status of Dachengshan Mountain City, you need to ask General Yuan in person.”
There was some shame in my heart.
Not to mention that due to his official position, he could not interfere with the defense of Dachengshan Mountain Castle. Even if he had that power, how could he dare to go to the Pure Land of Wenyuan?
Yuan Jingtu is Yuan Gaesumun's biological brother. Although he does not have the power of Yuan Gaesumun, his temper is the same and he is very violent...
Changsun Chong's expression remained as usual.
Although he stole the defense map of Pingrang City, it was only a rough defense plan. It did not involve the strength and strategy of each department. If he wanted to fully understand the defenses inside and outside Pingrang City, he would need to put in more effort. That's all...(End of this chapter)
