Chapter 761: What's the Best for Datang?

Li Kuan might not have thought that the celebration banquet in Liaodong City would actually change its flavor because of a "good news" reported by himself.

Because Li Ji's analysis is very reasonable, even if Li Shimin feels that there seems to be something he hasn't figured out, he agrees with the suggestion that the army sweep Liaodong as soon as possible and send Cheng Chuliang to Pyongyang City to rescue Li Kuan.

And the initiator is now waiting with anticipation for the triumphant army to return to the city.

Kwon Wanxin's army and Gao Huanquan's team fought a big battle outside Pyongyang, seeing that after most of the day's fighting, Kwon Wanxin's troops were about to win, but the Tang army that was ambushed nearby came out, combined with He Jian's thousands of elites, and reversed the war in one fell swoop.

The Tang Army's strong crossbow has been tested in actual combat.

Now they are advancing in a row, and they don't care that there are not only the troops with the right to fight in front of them, but also the troops with high Huanquan, and they directly start shooting indiscriminately.

Soon, the exhausted warring sides, those soldiers who had a harder life, could no longer be hard.

Fortunately, Quan Wanxin's brain is also good enough, and when he saw Tang Jun actually appearing here, he immediately realized that Pyongyang City was no longer good.

After discussing a few words with Yuan boy, he immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and retreat first.

And Gao Huanquan's department, because his commander He Jian abandoned them, and even took the most elite thousands of people to "surrender" directly to the Tang army, and then turned the horse's head to help the Tang army fight, and everyone immediately surrendered!

After all, the leaders have surrendered so readily, what burden do the minions have?

The only depressed person is Gao Huanquan.

How can you say that your own army of 50,000 is gone?

Even their own people became "prisoners" of the Tang army.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do with that Gao Huanquan?"

In the city of Pyongyang, Wang Xuance and Li Kuan were discussing the future of Goguryeo.

"What do you think?"

Li Kuan rarely raised his mind to take the test.

In history, although Wang Xuance's fame is not very big, as long as you know his people, you will know that this is an amazing fierce man.

One person destroys a country, although it is a bit exaggerated, but in that era, there were really few people who could have that level.

It was not an easy task to persuade the Tibetan State to lend him troops.

"Whether it's King Gao Zang, Gao Huanquan, or that Yuangai Suwen, I don't think we are good people in the Tang Dynasty; Goguryeo is a country with a long history, unlike the Turkic people and the Hu people of Xueyantuo, they have their own cultural traditions and some historical accumulation, and it is actually very difficult for us in the Tang Dynasty to fully integrate them.

Now that Datang is strong and strong, he is naturally not afraid of anything, but no one can guarantee that Datang will always be so strong and will not have turmoil; The subordinates felt that even if we restored the county town of the Han Dynasty in Goguryeo, it would not be very meaningful, and there would be very few things to get, on the contrary, they might become exhausted because of this. ”

"Xuan Ce, say whatever you want to say directly, in front of this king, you don't have to hide it."

Li Kuan looked at Wang Xuance, who rarely showed a cautious expression, and also felt funny.

This guy thinks he's addicted to destroying the country?

I was afraid that his suggestion would upset me.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates just think that this Goguryeo, except for the part of Liaodong, is worth developing as the prince said before; After coming to the Yalu River, it is actually full of mountains, and the land is relatively barren, and the value is not very large; However, the population here is relatively dense, and it is not so easy for Datang to maintain its rule here.

Therefore, his subordinates suggested that it was better to let Goguryeo continue to stay, and we in Datang only needed the area of Liaodong to establish a Liaodong Province; As for the south of the Yalu River, whether it was the territory of the original Goguryeo, or Silla and Baekje, there was no need to include it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, we don't just give the fruits of victory back to the Goguryeo people, but let King Gozang continue to be his Goguryeo king in Pyongyang City, and that Gohuan Quan can also ask His Majesty to give a reward; At that time, King Gozang was the king of Northern Goguryeo, and Gao Huanquan was the king of Southern Goguryeo; As for Yuangai Suwen, although he doesn't know his movements for the time being, he will definitely not be captured like this, and it is likely that he will establish himself as king in the north at that time, so that Goguryeo will become the state of the Three Kingdoms! ”

After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he looked at Li Kuan with anticipation.

This plan, but he had just thought of it.

In his opinion, this plan is the most beneficial to Datang.

Today's King Gao Zang and Gao Huan are controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and they can do whatever they want, and they don't have any strength to resist at all.

Although there are also some gold mines near Pyongyang that are worth developing, but Datang merchants come to open mines, do they dare to say anything?

Not only did they not dare to stumble, but they were also afraid that something would happen to them, and Datang would put the responsibility on their heads when the time came.

This situation is much more meaningful than the Tang Dynasty directly sending officials and soldiers to Pyongyang and other places to carry out actual management.

"Goguryeo has three kingdoms, plus the original Silla and Baekje, as well as the Wa people who have just grabbed a few cities from the Baekje people, the situation on this peninsula is interesting."

Li Kuan's words obviously approved Wang Xuance's proposal.

In fact, Li Kuan never thought of including the Goguryeo land south of the Yalu River into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which was meaningless at all.

Although land is very precious in later generations, it is not really the case in this era.

A territory that cannot bring practical benefits to Datang and will only continue to consume Datang's strength does not make much sense to keep.

As long as the black land in Liaodong is included in the Tang Dynasty, it is enough.

It is more in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to let those countries on the peninsula constantly fight each other.

Anyway, the more fierce the war, the stronger everyone's demand for Datang's various military supplies will be.

After a few years, it really can't be moved, and Datang will stand up and mediate again.

At that time, whether it was three countries, four countries, or there were still five or six countries left, let them sign an armistice agreement, no one dared not sign it, right?

Of course, how long this armistice agreement can last is not something that Li Kuan has to consider.

Big deal, after a few years of rest, keep playing for a few years.

I can't move anymore, so I continue to rest.

In this way, as long as the situation is under the control of Datang all the time, it is enough.

"That's right, that's how the subordinates think about it, let them continue to fall into war, and there is no way to form a country that can threaten the Central Plains Dynasty, this meaning is the most far-reaching."

His suggestion was accepted, and Wang Xuance's face was full of smiles.
