Chapter 158: Goguryeo, which exploded
Where did Cui Ming hear about such an incident, so he only knew to say: "No, aren't you Datang governing the country with benevolence and righteousness?" Never kill captives, we have already confessed our mistakes, why do we have to ransom people? ”
Looking at this person's face, Wei Zheng felt for the first time that the negotiations and etiquette he had with foreign envoys were so stupid, he thought that these people would obey the etiquette of education, but now it seems, hehe, play the piano to the cow.
Seeing that Du Shaoqing gave him a look, Li Junxian immediately understood and shouted: "Come on, kill ten Goguryeo prisoners, including one centurion." ”
There was a promise outside, and two minutes later, a group of soldiers each grabbed a head and came into the big tent, and the Goguryeo civil official Cui Ming's face turned pale with fright, "You, how can you ......?"
Du Shaoqing shouted: "Kill again!" ”
"Don't, don't kill it, this matter is too important, the lower officials can't be the master, and they need to go back and ask to see my king to decide." Cui Ming hurriedly stopped.
Li Ke said angrily on the side: "Goguryeo has no sincerity, and the people sent here don't even have the qualifications to speak, what time is wasted?" My father sent this king to supervise the war, not to see your family.
Hurry up and kill the captives and sacrifice the banner to go to war. ”
Du Shaoqing saluted respectfully and said: "Your Highness is angry, although the Tang Dynasty Tianwei will destroy the country quickly, but I am afraid that the small country will not be convinced, so it is better to give them a chance to speak."
The one who is called urging life, the last chance, send your most talkative person, and then ramble or bargain, Lao Tzu will give you 50,000 captives. ”
Cui Ming was so frightened that his buttocks were urinating, and he didn't dare to delay and ran back, Du Shaoqing and the others were already laughing in the big tent, Li Ke exclaimed, although he only had one line, it was really enjoyable, just like he had entered the Goguryeo Royal City.
Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed lightly and said, "The old man is the right envoy, can you let the old man speak first next time?" ”
Everyone laughed again, it turned out that he had stolen the limelight from the old man, and he should have been addicted to talking loudly.
Yuangai Suwen kicked Cui Ming to the ground, "Destroy me Goguryeo? Does he dare? Can he? Their Yang Guang million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty came to attack three times, what happened? Not all of them were beaten back by us, and in the end, even the country died.
They are just scaring people, and only 50,000 can destroy my Goguryeo? Joke. ”
"Da Pair Lu, that family wants to kill 50,000 captured soldiers, and they will kill ten in front of me, this is true, we have to rely on these 50,000 troops to defend the country, we can't help but redeem people."
Yuangai Suwen frowned, and said in his heart, yes, what about the 50,000 army, this is a quarter of Goguryeo's troops, and it is also a quarter of the most elite, all of them have been captured, and they can't help it.
"Or you go, see what conditions they want, this time give you the right to call money, to negotiate a suitable price, give them a bow, lose some money is a meaning, forget it, the Central Plains people are good manners and face, don't pay attention to money, redeem the soldiers, you are the first merit."
Okay, this Cui Ming is here again, but this time his attitude is much more humble, but when he saw the compensation list handed over by Wei Zheng, he was dumbfounded.
"This, this, Prime Minister Wei, did you write it wrong, so many things? Not to mention anything else, this money alone is a sky-high price, our Goguryeo national strength is weak, how can we have so much money? ”
Wei Zheng sneered: "No money? How so? Don't have the money to equip an army of 50,000? Can you build a sailor?
Why didn't you expect this day when you came to Datang to loot? It doesn't matter if you can't afford to pay compensation, come here, kill the prisoners and sacrifice the flag, hit it, and we will go to the Goguryeo treasury ourselves to count whether it is enough to compensate. ”
"Oops! Don't, don't kill prisoners! How can you kill if you don't agree with each other? Cui Ming was about to cry, he originally thought that only the person dressed as a military general was easy to kill, why did this prime minister of the Tang Dynasty be a civil official and also love to kill?
"If you don't make amends, then we will kill people." Du Shaoqing emphasized.
"Let's discuss, we really can't afford to lose, how can the treasury have so much money? Twenty percent, we can only take out two percent, I can't do the grain and land cutting things later, I need to go back and ask the lord of the country. ”
Wei Zheng signaled Du Shaoqing not to speak, and was robbing me of the stubble again, "I said it last time, this is the last chance, Goguryeo is not sincere, and sent another straw bale, a guy who speaks inappropriately, this is not to take our Datang in his eyes."
Forget it, let's not talk about it, kill the flag! ”
After saying that, Lao Wei got up and flicked his sleeves to leave, but Cui Ming really cried, came up and grabbed him, and pleaded over and over again that it must be the last time.
Wei Zheng nodded reluctantly, but at this time, the tent was lifted, and a team of soldiers came in with their heads, "Wei Xiang, the knife of the axe hand is too sharp, and when we ordered the suspension of the order, a few of them confiscated their hands and hacked ten to death." ”
Li Junxian reprimanded: "If you die, you will die, but it is a damned person who invaded Goguryeo, when will there be dozens of deaths, is it worth reporting it?" Get out. ”
Lao Wei glanced at Li Junxian complainingly, you are unruly, and you are stealing words again.
The Goguryeo envoy was completely speechless, and his heart was calculated, obviously this was killed to show me, as long as he kept his big head, I would have an explanation when I went back.
Seeing this person fleeing in embarrassment again, everyone laughed non-stop, Wei Zheng reminded: "This person has been coming and going for three days, and we have been delayed for six days, counting the days, Your Majesty's envoys will definitely be able to get here in half a month, so we must not let them delay any longer." ”
In the early morning of this day, Du Shaoqing had nothing to do to follow Li Junxian and Wei Chigong to visit the border of the national border, although there was no telescope in this era, but the weather on this day was good, you can see far away, and in the distance is the small Great Wall established by Goguryeo in order to prevent the invasion of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Shaoqing saw that there seemed to be a few small mounds not far from the city, and asked Yu Chigong what the mounds were for.
Wei Chigong sighed: "Hey, shame! The former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, not to mention the victory of destroying the country, and also left piles of corpses, which were not mounds, that was the Jingguan that the Goguryeo people piled up with the corpses of the former Sui soldiers.
Speaking of which, it was also a group of warriors, all of whom were heroic sons of my Han family, but it's a pity! ”
"What?" Du Shaoqing exclaimed, he didn't know there was such a thing.
Li Junxian said: "In the fifth year of Zhenguan, with the power of the great victory of destroying the Eastern Turks, His Majesty once sent an envoy to ask Goguryeo to demolish Jingguan, wanting to welcome back the corpse of my Central Plains son, but the lord of Goguryeo, King Rongliu, refused, and at the same time built this small Great Wall to resist the Tang Dynasty, and the thief should be punished!" ”
Du Shaoqing looked at the piles of Jingguan from a distance, they were piled up thirty years ago, and now they are still so big, it is hard to imagine how many corpses of Han warriors should have been thrown there back then.
"Damn! Damn it all! There must be another article on the indemnity book, dismantle the Jingguan, and let them respectfully return the bones of the heroic soul of our Han family, otherwise, these 50,000 captives will be directly cut and killed, and they will be piled up into Jingguan to show them. ”
