Chapter 63 VI Peace Talks

"Peace!?" Except for Su Chengdong, almost every military general shouted out in unison.

They couldn't believe that after six years of bitter fighting and huge sacrifices on both sides, Goryeo would actually propose peace! If peace was to be negotiated, it should have been done as early as when Chang Miao attacked Pyongyang City, because it was already clear from then that Goryeo would not be able to win the battle and would sooner or later end up in the situation it is today. Then the next three years of fighting became a meaningless act at all.

Only Su Chengdong said quietly: "Aren't you going to defend Pyongyang City?" ”

Pudu Na reassured himself and continued: "In terms of the current situation, the military organization of Goryeo is close to disintegrating, and even if it continues to resist with the help of Pyongyang City, it will only prolong the time for defeat to come, but the outcome is the same. In view of this, it is wise to make peace in a timely manner. ”

Su Chengdong touched the few strands of beard on his chin with his hand, and said leisurely: "It sounds reasonable, but just now you said that you were ordered by the prime minister to come to negotiate peace, so Ah Yizhi is planning to bypass the king and make peace with this dynasty directly, right?" Could it be that your prime minister is planning to betray the king? ”

As soon as Su Chengdong said this, the generals let out another exclamation - everyone didn't notice this detail, Ah Yizhi actually wanted to sell the master for glory! Only Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin seemed to be in their chests, just staring at Pudu with sharp eyes.

Pudu Na also noticed the reaction of the generals, he subconsciously took half a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency misunderstood Your Majesty the King, His Majesty is now addicted to wine, ignoring the government and politics, and he is indifferent to everything in the outside world. If this matter is to be carried out again after His Majesty is revealed. Then I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

"Oh, really?" Su Chengdong leaned forward with his hands on the table: "Do you think it's not too late for you to come to negotiate peace now?" ”

"This, this," Pudu looked at Su Chengdong's expression. Suddenly aware of the change in the situation, I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Su Chengdong stood up. Said sharply: "You go back and tell Ah Yizhi!" Things have come to this point, and it is impossible to make peace with this dynasty in vain! Now Goryeo has only two options. The first is to wait for our army to break through the city of Pyongyang, and then escort you and others back to Beijing together with King Choi Wendeok, and wait for His Majesty the Emperor's fate; The second is that you tied yourself up, opened the city of Pyongyang and surrendered, and returned to Beijing with our army to wait for His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Su Chengdong's words were aggressive, and Pudu took three or four steps back in a row to stabilize his figure. I saw that his face was flushed, and a little sweat oozed from his forehead. Su Sung-dong's words undoubtedly blocked any path of his sophistry, and no matter how he chose the capital of Goryeo, it would be occupied by the enemy. The king's ministers will be taken prisoner.

However, Pudu Na still refused to give up, and seeing that he could no longer continue the negotiations, he could only make a horizontal statement and say the final bottom line of this trip: "My lord, in this case, if the prime minister surrenders the whole city of Pyongyang to the adult's tent, can he open up to the prime minister?" ”

It's finally the true face. Su Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. From the moment he entered the Great Horde and began to make peace demands, he realized that the fundamental purpose of the Ayi tribe was to betray the king of Goryeo for self-preservation. No matter how he disguises it, this ultimate bottom line is the true purpose of Ah Yizhi. Su Chengdong looked around at the generals. These generals all showed disdainful expressions one by one, only Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin had already understood each other. Su Chengdong nodded secretly in his heart: he really didn't misunderstand these two people, they are not only good at combat command, but also above the generals.

Come to think of it. Su Chengdong sneered: "You mean that the Ayi Ward will sacrifice Pyongyang City, and capture Cui Wende, the royal family of Goryeo, as well as the civil and military ministers of Goryeo, and give them to us, right?" ”

"Yes. Yes, I just beg to spare the Prime Minister's Mansion and others. Poop is content. Pudu's whole body shrank because even he said this and felt gloomy.

Su Chengdong snorted a few times in his nose. Then it turned into a long smile in the sky: "Okay, good!" This also saves us a lot of things, and as a quid pro quo, it seems reasonable! That's it! As long as Ah Ulji surrenders Pyongyang City, Choi Moon-deok and all members of the Goryeo royal family, plus all the civil and military ministers, I will let him go and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion! Not only that, in the future, Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province will be governed by our government officials, and in other places, whether he will be in charge of Ah Yi Zhi or someone else, I will not ask anything! As long as this new Goryeo state is at ease a vassal of our dynasty and serves our emperor well, there will be no more wars between the two countries. What about this condition? ”

Pudu's eyes widened when she heard this. In fact, not only him, but also all the generals in the camp had the same stunned expression. This is simply to make Ah Yiji, a disloyal and unfilial villain, the new king of Goryeo! As the prime minister, betrayed his own monarch, and then was the only central high-ranking official left, the power vacuum left in Goryeo, and there was no other official to compete with, I am afraid that there would not be a second person in Goryeo who had such conditions to ascend the throne and become king. This is too cheap, and Su Chengdong's conditions are simply facilitating him to surrender!

Purdue shook his head, he couldn't believe it was real.

Su Chengdong looked at his suspicious eyes and said softly: "Come on, loosen the ties for Lord Pudu." Since all the Goryeo royal family has been captured and the royal capital has been included in the territory of our dynasty, then our emperor should be happy to accept the end of the war from now on. If you can facilitate this, then you will be the guest of honor of our army, and I believe that Ayizhi will reward you heavily when you go back, and now I only need a reply from you. ”

The sergeants came up to untie the ropes for Puduna. When Pudu heard this, he no longer doubted it in his heart, because Su Chengdong's words revealed that the Silk Country also intended to end the war as soon as possible, so it showed that the Silk Country was preparing to concentrate on starting the war with Tuqi, and it would become a logical thing to open this condition. He immediately said: "I believe that the Prime Minister has no reason to accept such conditions, and you can accept your conditions now, please rest assured." ”

Su Chengdong sat back in his seat and said with a smile: "Okay, our army will march to Pyongyang City immediately." When we drove into Pyongyang City, I hope that Lord Aulji has done everything. Someone came, and set up a banquet to shock Lord Pudu. ”

"You don't have to break the bank, you can go back to your life in the next place. When your army arrives at Pyongyang City, the Prime Minister will greet you outside the city. Puduna replied.

"In this case, I will not force it to stay. Come on, good students escort Pudu's master across the river. ”

Purdu hurriedly took his leave.

As soon as he left, Wang Hanxin said, "My lord! You're not kidding, are you? Ah Yi Ji is a traitor of the Goryeo Kingdom! It was he who started the war! Now that Tian is shamelessly betraying his master, you still agree to his request! And let him be the king of Goryeo! ”

Su Chengdong waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and then smiled: "Am I so kind?" Can a rebellious minister and thief like him really become the king of Goryeo? You are so naΓ―ve. However, it is also a good thing that such a person can avoid the hard casualties of our army's siege. ”

"Hmph, I'd rather they resist stubbornly so that I can slaughter them all!" Wang Hanxin said hatefully.

Su Chengdong looked at his indignant appearance and the puzzled eyes of the generals, and sat on the seat and smiled without saying a word. (To be continued......)
