Yuan Taizuo heard this Li Shimin read out a lot of requirements in one breath, and he only felt dizzy and tight.

It's like a lion's mouth.

Not to mention the return of 200,000 Sui army prisoners and the bones of 200,000 Sui army dead, what does it mean to return all the Han people who have been captured and plundered in the past?

Goguryeo has been established for 700 years, and now among these millions of people, it is estimated that half of them are the people of the Han family or their descendants.

These people are not all taken captive, many of them are the people of the Han Jin and Yan dynasties under the rule of Liaodong, and later these territories were captured by them, and the population above naturally belonged to them, and there are also some people who fled from defeat during the war in the Central Plains, and the rest were taken captive, but the number is definitely not much, most of these captives were used as slaves, most of them died later, and there were few who did not die.

How could Yuan Taizuo hand over half of his people?

He has already lost seven or eight big cities on the Liaohe River, dozens of small cities, soldiers killed in battle, and hundreds of thousands of people have been lost, and he has to hand over half of them, what kind of king is he still a reckless.

"Envoy, why don't you enter the city first?" Yuan Taizuo did not directly refuse.

After all, he has just been defeated, so it is better to procrastinate a trick.

But although Li Shimin is young, he also came with a mission this time, although he didn't understand why Luo Cheng wanted to pick him, he estimated in his heart that this Luo Cheng wanted to fix him.

After all, these requirements are relatively strict, and even if the Goguryeo people are newly defeated, they will never agree.

If he can't complete the task this time, it is estimated that Luo Chengcheng will have a reason to clean him up. In fact, he couldn't figure out why he was naturally hostile to this third brother-in-law, maybe he hated him for forcibly taking the third sister as a concubine? Is this taking advantage of people's danger and ruining the third sister?

Or maybe in fact, he has always been jealous of Luo Cheng in his heart, after all, Luo Cheng is only a few years older than him, but this person's achievements are something he can't catch up with.

No matter what, even if Li Shimin saw through this, he had to come.

Luo Cheng is the coach, if he asks him to go to the baggage camp, he has to go, and if he is asked to come to the envoy, he has to come. Although Luo Cheng said it well, if you feel that you are not competent, you can also not bring it up.

even said that if you feel that Liaodong can't stay, you can propose to go back to Luoyang.

But is he, Li Shimin, the kind of person who retreats at the first sight of difficulties? He is not the eldest brother Jiancheng, he wanted to leave at the beginning, he persuaded him, but now he feels that it is not bad in Liaodong, Li Shimin looks down on Jiancheng, and feels that this is a person who has no principles and no backbone.

He can't control others, but he can control himself.

He's coming.

Not only did he come, but he had to find a way to accomplish it.

"Yuan Taizuo, do you want to refuse?"

He asked coldly,

A group of Goguryeo generals couldn't bear it anymore, and some even pulled out their swords directly.

Yuan Taizuo pretended not to see.

Li Shimin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Yuan Taizuo, Yuan Taizuo, you have this ability, when the national war was in the country, you mutinied and killed the king, shameless. After seizing the throne, he bullied the soft and feared the hard, and immediately asked the Great Sui for peace. But I, Da Sui, agreed with you to be a minister, and you didn't dare to go to Beijing to see the emperor, so you only dared to cower and hide in this Liaodong one-acre and three-point land to be the overlord, is it interesting? ”

"Boy, if you dare to insult the king of my family, I will cut off your head!"

One of the guards shouted and drew his sword.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and continued.

"Yuan Taizuo, take care of your dog, you really dare to touch me at all, but if I lose a single hair, you and your so-called Korean country are finished."

"Your Majesty gives you the opportunity to accept your surrender, but my Luo Shuai has been unwilling to agree to a truce, he can't wait for you to kill me, so that he can become famous, destroy the remaining half of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and achieve his immortal achievements."

Yuan Taizuo's face twitched.

He waved his hand, and the guards stepped back.

"Angel, how can Lone have any other intentions, is he sincerely attached, it was Gao Yuan, Gao Jianwu and others who had been fighting against the Heavenly Empire before, I couldn't look past it, and I tried to persuade them to no avail, so I killed them, I did all this to help the Great Sui stabilize the border domain."

"I promised all the things that the sky said just now, don't say five, even fifty and five hundred."

Yuan Taizuo put on a flattering smile.

"But you still have to eat the food, as for the return of the Great Sui soldiers, the supply of grain and grass, etc., these will also be arranged immediately."

Yuan Taizuo's behavior like changing his face made Li Shimin feel ashamed.

But even if he can see that this guy has the intention of procrastinating, Li Shimin has no other way now, anyway, Luo Cheng asked him to pass the word, and he can be regarded as complete.

As for whether the Yuan clan will cash in later, this is another matter.

Of course, things are not so easy.

"Since you are so happy, the king, it is better to show your sincerity first, please immediately transport 100,000 stone of grain to Anshi, Lushun, Liaodong, Xincheng, and Jian'an, and immediately let the soldiers and horses on the border of Liaodong retreat for a hundred miles."

"Our army will not be stationed in this hundred miles, and both sides will be vacated as a buffer zone."

"Oh, no problem, I'll arrange for someone to prepare 100,000 stone of grain and send it to Zhucheng."

"I want to see your convoy of grain and grass depart, and I will enter the city again."

Yuan Taizuo frowned, he couldn't imagine that this guy was so difficult.

"It's not easy to recruit people and horses for a while, I'm afraid it's not easy, how about the time for the lonely ones?"

"Actually, it's not that troublesome, as far as I know, you also held 200,000 prisoners of my Great Sui soldiers, you can release them, and then let them help transport grain and grass over, in this way, kill two birds with one stone, I believe Luo Shuai will be very grateful for your sincerity after hearing it."

Yuan Taizuo stared at Li Shimin and found that this guy didn't get in the oil and salt.

If he does not agree today, he will not go into the city.

A little Li Shimin, he doesn't pay attention to it, but the key is that if he is not satisfied, Luo Cheng's killing god will not be satisfied.

If Luo Cheng is not satisfied, the 100,000 Sui troops under his command may be killed at any time.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Yuan Taizuo called his courtiers in front of Li Shimin.

"How many of the Great Sui Mansion soldiers are still here in our country?"

"Back to the king, the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who are currently guests in our country are scattered in hundreds of places in the country, and there are about 20,000 people in and outside the city in the country."

The so-called guests are naturally captives, and being guests is not as good as they say at all. More than 200,000 soldiers of the Sui army who were captured in the two Eastern Crusades were scattered in mines, farms, and pastures all over Goguryeo at this time, all working as coolies.

There have even been many people who died of starvation or exhaustion in the previous winter.

Of course, Yuan Taizuo knew about these situations, he just deliberately asked his subordinates to say it in front of Li Shimin.

As soon as he waved his hand, "Immediately invite more than 20,000 guests over, prepare to send them home, divide them into five ways to send them off, and let them bring some grain and grass back by the way." ”

More than 20,000 captives were released, and then let each of them bring a stone of grain back, this can be regarded as Yuan Taizuo's last resort, first give some sweetness to appease this Li Shimin and Luo Cheng, as for the follow-up, drag it if you can.

In short, Luo Cheng can't be beaten by fighting, so he can only stabilize it first, at least until it snows, and the situation will get better.

"Please also ask the king to remember to give Yuangai Suwen of Shicheng a will, let him go to Liaodong City to meet my family Luo Shuai, and when he gets there, Luo Shuai will arrange for someone to send him to Beijing to see the Son of Heaven."

Li Shimin stared at Yuan Taizuo and made another request.

Yuan Taizuo was silent.

It's going to take an inch.

But Li Shimin refused to budge.

"My son Gai Suwen has been unwell recently, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to travel long distances to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven, why don't I let my second son Jiantu go to Liaodong to meet Luo Shuai, and then go to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven?"

"Luo Shuai indicated that he wanted to see Yuan Gai Suwen."

"But Gai Suwen is sick now, why don't you send a letter to Luo Shuai, discuss with him, and see if you can let Jiantu go on his behalf?" Yuan Taizuo had no choice, but he was reluctant to send his eldest son to Sui.

"No, it's not negotiable!" Li Shimin refused to be accommodating at all.

Yuan Taizuo really had the urge to draw a knife at this moment, and in the end he endured it.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "Okay, I'll give an order to Gai Suwen." ”

Only then did Li Shimin nod with satisfaction, "Let's enter the city!" ”

Watching Li Shimin ride a horse and swagger into the domestic city with a team of followers, Yuan Taizuo's brain was dizzy and he almost fell to the ground.
