"Wait." The husband and grandson hurriedly came forward to ease the atmosphere and said: "The prince, please calm your anger, Yuan Wen is upright and can't speak, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." Our Goguryeo has always regarded the Great Sui as its suzerain, and in the past wars, we were on the defensive side, and there was absolutely no intention of provocation. It's just that the lower official position is humble and light, and he really doesn't know anything about the captivity, and he will immediately send someone back to China to inquire after the banquet, and if there is really such a thing, he will report it to the prince. ”

Yuan Wensheng has been an envoy to the Great Sui for a long time, how can he be a person with an upright temperament, but his husband and grandson promised to go back to investigate carefully, and Yang Chong is really not good. Is political negotiation a place full of lies, and it is this principle that the husband and grandson rely on, and they are not worried that Yang Chong will not give them down; Again, in fact, it means that he didn't say anything, unless the army of the Great Sui really occupied the Marudu Mountain City and the domestic city, I am afraid that he will really talk about this matter.

Yang Chong's face softened a little and said: "Then I will wait for the news of Goguryeo, Sofusun, the envoys of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are all here today, as the suzerain, I hope you will sign an agreement and promote peace negotiations on the current actual demarcation line." ”

The eyes of the Baekje envoy Qiu Ming and the Silla envoy Park Sinan all showed a burning light, and the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, Inugami Mita-chan, stared at Sofusun with full attention, and Sofusun felt a huge pressure, Goguryeo had just lost the area south of the Han River, and it was certainly unacceptable to negotiate on the current demarcation line; But if it refuses outright, Goguryeo will be labeled as belligerent by the suzerain, the Great Sui.

Seeing Yuan Wensheng's expression of some joy, he knew that Yuan Wensheng thought it was the right time to propose to the Great Sui to the north of Liaoshui, but Yang Chong's proposal of 60,000 prisoners in advance was probably to prevent this situation from appearing and to prepare a sufficient reason for the Great Sui to go to war at any time. The husband and grandson weighed it again and again, and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, the three of us are envoys, and we have no right to decide on these matters, and besides, the three kingdoms have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to explain the grievances for a while. ”

"It's okay." Yang Chong said confidently: "The Great Sui and the Turks, as the suzerainty of Goguryeo, can sign with you. For the sake of the tranquility of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, our five countries are willing to start negotiations on an equal footing in order to achieve the goal of the three countries finally living in peace. ”

Sofu Sun instantly understood Yang Chong's intentions, and cold sweat broke out on his head; If you don't sign it, it means that Goguryeo and Sofu Sun are insincere, but if you sign it, Sofu Sun will definitely not be able to explain when she goes back, and Silla and Baekje have just snatched a piece of land from Goguryeo. Yuan Wensheng's eyes were red, and he stood up and said loudly: "If it is divided according to the current region, Liaodong should be our Goguryeo, if you Dasui are willing, we will sign." ”

Shi Daqian and the others were furious and stood up one after another, Yang Chong motioned for everyone to sit down and said: "Lord Yuan, on behalf of Goguryeo, has the right to put forward this opinion, this king can promise you to negotiate for this, and negotiations will start at the same time in the land of Liaodong and the southern region of the Han River, but the remains of the prisoners of war and warriors of the Great Sui must be sent to Yingzhou." What do you say? ”

Sofu Sun shook his head and said, "The lower officials don't know about the captives. ”

This is something that can't be admitted, and the husband and grandson can't retreat, Yang Chong said coldly: "The husband and grandson, you don't have the determination to make peace, you just came to Chang'an to mess around." Heaven abandoned, handed over all the information to the Wei Yi, and began to publish all the information about the stranded Goguryeo prisoners of war in Chang'an Bao and other newspapers tomorrow; Chu Suiliang, you are responsible for asking Goguryeo to explain the evidence of the envoy, and when this matter is clarified, negotiations will begin. ”

The husband Sun's heart trembled, knowing that he had been calculated, what peace agreement was just a cover, and Yang Chong just wanted to tell the officials and the people that it was not him Yang Chong who was belligerent, but Goguryeo who was unwilling to negotiate peace. Sofu Sun had read the Chang'an Daily, and even wanted to start a similar newspaper after returning to Goguryeo, knowing that the consequences of the Chang'an Newspaper exaggerating the prisoners of war, and in the case of the anger of the whole people, what awaited Goguryeo was a full-scale war.

If it is time to negotiate, the Great Sui recaptures Liaodong, and even fights Liaoshui, all the words of himself and Yuan Wensheng today will backfire. When he arrived in the Central Plains, Sofusun already knew how weak the foundation of victory in Liaodong was this time, and the Great Sui had not even dispatched all the troops of Hebei, but Goguryeo was pouring the power of the country, to put it bluntly, Yang Chongzhen was going to send 200,000 people to Liaodong, and Goguryeo had to give up the north of Liaoshui.

Sofu Sun Yi gritted his teeth and asked: "What the prince said is true, as long as the 60,000 captives are released, negotiations can begin, including the land of Liaodong?" ”

"Not bad." Yang Chong still had a cold attitude, Du Yan and Jiang Duo nodded to each other, there was a play; The husband and grandson sighed and said: "The prince doesn't have to be in the newspaper, I know about this matter, there are indeed 60,000 captives doing hard labor in Changbai Mountain, I will write back to explain the situation, and I hope that the prince will keep his promise." ”

There was a burst of sighs and exclamations in the banquet hall, and Yang Chong said without changing his face: "It's about to enter winter, it's not the time to send troops, so don't worry, the faster Goguryeo does, the greater the hope for peace." This king reminds you that this king does not want to see these 60,000 people die suddenly, not even 1,000 less. ”

The husband and grandson bowed and said, "Don't worry, I will tell the country the truth." ”

Baekje envoy Qiu Ming and Silla envoy Park Sinan hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down to thank him, Park Sinan was even more tearful, in order to achieve peace between the Three Kingdoms, Dasui was willing to give up the granary in Liaodong, this kind of kindness is unprecedented, that is, the Holy Son Yang Guang hated Goguryeo to the core, and did not take such care of Baekje and Silla.

Yang Shanjing looked at Yang Chong to comfort Wei Qiu Ming and the two, and almost applauded, Yang Chong seemed to have lost a piece of Liaodong land, but as long as he looked back at Xue Yantuo's envoy Hun Jin Zhe, Hui envoy Yuan Suqiang, and Muwei envoy Guannan Dagong, you can imagine the difficulties in the northeast and northern part of the Turks in the future. Yang Shanjing coughed and asked, "King Yue, can I take a look at those materials?" ”

"Yes." Yang Chong shouted Chu Suiliang and instructed: "You prepare the information in this regard, and Lord Yang will go to the Ministry of Rites to watch it the day after tomorrow." ”

Chu Suiliang agreed very neatly, the purpose of Yang Shanjing is not to find out the bottom of Goguryeo, to see whether Yang Chong is cheating or there is real evidence, anyway, now that his husband and grandson have admitted it, as long as he hides the information about the relationship information, not to mention that Tianqi will not hand over those things to himself.
