Cai Cong said lightly, picking the chopsticks in his hand, but he didn't pick up the dishes. Looking at the fish on the plate, he was a little sick to his stomach, after eating the fish for so many days, he was already tired of it, and he just went ashore to find some game to eat.

"Master Hou, this is too dangerous, why don't you get on the eighth boat! Leave these things to Lao Meng and them, as you know, those barbarians are inhumane. Fang Yuan immediately objected, and Xu Jie also looked at Cai Cong worriedly. He is not like Fang Yuan, he can say whatever comes to mind, he is more like the most loyal warrior, hiding all his thoughts in his heart and perfectly carrying out Cai Cong's orders.

"It is a country, not some wild and uncivilized natives. Benhou is the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, and he was ordered to come to ask for the remains of the former Sui warriors, and they didn't dare to do anything to me, not to mention that so many soldiers were not for decoration. What is it to let Fang Niu and Lao Meng go? What qualifications do they have to talk to the head of a nation? ”

Cai Cong smiled and said, the people of Datang seem to think that people outside Datang are indigenous, and they don't look at them seriously at all. However, Datang does have this qualification, and in the future, there will be a handsome guy named Wang Xuance, who will destroy Central India alone, and push the prestige of Datang to the sky. But this is an afterword, this kid is still in the academy in the enlightenment class!

"But how can you easily get into danger?"

Fang Yuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, if Hou Ye had any abrasions touching it, he would not be able to escape the blame.

"Haha...... Even His Majesty's years of fighting in the world have been nine deaths, so what's wrong with me taking the risk back? Anyway, you go according to the plan, and if they don't give face, don't blame me for destroying humanity. ”

Cai Cong was heroic with a trace of unbearability, Fang Yuan couldn't resist Cai Cong, and after resting for the night, he had to continue to set off with two boats. And Cai Cong landed with the fully armed new army and advanced towards Pyongyang. Fang Niu took Cai Cong's hand and rode towards Pyongyang City, if it could be resolved peacefully, naturally no one would be willing to fight and kill.

But if you really want to fight, Cai Cong is not afraid of Pyongyang at all, the entire Pyongyang garrison plus the private armies of various families. I'm afraid it won't exceed 20,000 people, and even if Cai Cong can't annihilate them with an army of 10,000, it will be easy to retreat.

The army of more than 10,000 people fled in Goryeo, the ground was shaking, and Fang Niu also arrived outside the city of Pyongyang, the city wall was high, wide and very strong, the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, this was his first impression of Pyongyang. However, if there were no such conditions, they would not be able to block the royal conquest of two generations of kings.

Fang Niu didn't get the courtesy he deserved, he came to pass the word on behalf of the Tang envoy, but he was left out in the cold in a small house, and no one cared about him for half a day.

The current king of Goguryeo is Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, who has some insight to pay tribute twice since the early days of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and also sent more than 10,000 Han people stranded in Goguryeo back to the Tang Dynasty, saying to Li Yuan that it was because of the difficult road that he did not pay tribute every year.

Later, Li Shimin destroyed Jieli, and he immediately sent people to celebrate, and also presented the domain map. However, he was not a master of dictatorship in Goguryeo, and he had a lot of elbows, such as the powerful and powerful Lu Yuan Taizuo.

If he hadn't been obstructing, Gao Jianwu might have destroyed Jingguan, after all, their small country and widows couldn't afford to provoke a behemoth like Li Tang.

"Great King, Li Tang's envoys are too arrogant, they are attacking our borders, but they are coming here in a hurry, and they don't take our Goguryeo seriously at all. According to Benda's opinion of Lu Zhi, he still took down their envoy and killed Li Tang to warn him. ”

Yuan Taizuo stood on the main hall and talked boastfully, he is the kind of person who has a strong sense of race, Li Tang bullied the door, then he should fight back, how can he meet their envoy, doesn't this make people think that they are afraid?

"Isn't it irresponsible to the people in China to say this? It must be known that now Datang is a first-class power, with countless elite soldiers and strong generals, it is really unwise to oppose them, not to mention that they just want to get back some bones, and they are not hurt by the country, and they can still make good friends with the country, why not? ”

Gao Jianwu said lightly, his words also said to the hearts of many people, going against Li Tang is to die, and looking at the fate of the Turks is the best example.

"The king's words are wrong, what kind of majesty was that Emperor Yang of Sui who sent millions of troops back then? But in the end? It's just a new Kyungkan temple to my Pyongyang city! I, Goguryeo, are sitting on natural dangers, how can he Li Tang say that he can fight it? If you can fight, how can you still linger in Xuanfu today? Why don't you hit Pyongyang? Instead, they sent for peace and for the bones to be returned. So Li Tang is not afraid, let him go! ”

Yuan Taizuo said lightly, and his words made the people present feel uplifted, the millions of people in the former Sui have not returned, and now tens of thousands of people are still not allowed to die?

A trace of sadness flashed in Gao Jianwu's eyes, such conceit and arrogance offended Li Tang would drag Goguryeo into the bottomless abyss. And the growing power of the big pair of Lu is now faintly competing with him, which makes him worried.

"Having said that, now that Li Tang has bowed his head, then give him some thin noodles, you need to know that fighting a war will not do us any good." Gao Jianwu said earnestly, it is not good for anyone to fight, I didn't see how many nobles had been awakened by the attack on Xuanwu, not to mention that there was a full-scale war.

The nobles had a sad face, they had experienced it themselves when a million people called that year, and although they won in the end, how many people starved to death that year. At that time, the whole of Goguryeo was in a famine, and many nobles died in the impact of the starving people, and now they are still trembling when they think about it.

"What the king said is reasonable, and I, Goguryeo, am also a state of Wenhua, so I will discard the envoys, and I am afraid that it will make people laugh out of their big teeth if they pass it out. In my opinion, it is better to meet the envoys and give them the bones of those dead people, and it will be unlucky to look at them anyway. ”

There is a big nobleman who ignored Yuan Taizuo's angry eyes and said lightly, not everyone will be afraid of him, especially in this case, forbearance will bring war.

There are big nobles taking the lead, and other people who are afraid of war have also spoken out against it, Yuan Taizuo looked coldly at Gao Jianwu and hugged his fists, and then threw his sleeves away, he was angry with him, these people in order to save their lives, keep their wealth, and even lose their blood and bones.

As soon as he left, the big nobles sneered, Gao Jianwu turned a blind eye to this, if they were all harmonious, then he, the king of Goguryeo, would also be able to do it.

While they were debating what kind of etiquette to use to receive the envoys, a soldier ran into the main hall with a rolling belt, and everyone frowned.

"Report! Fifty miles outside the city, a large number of Tang troops appeared, and they were coming towards our city of Pyongyang at this moment. ”

"Got it, that's an envoy of the Tang Kingdom, don't make a fuss." Gao Jianwu said lightly, and the others also looked indifferent.

"But! King, this batch of Tang troops will not see each other, at least more than 10,000 people! ”
