Chapter 750: Negotiations

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "If this report is sent to Chang'an, it is estimated that the government and the opposition will be shocked, and the whole country will celebrate!" ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "I also have to write a letter to Qingzhou, and let the Qingzhou governor send someone to confirm it." I estimate that after the report is sent to Chang'an, the emperor and the prime ministers may not believe it, thinking that we lied about the military situation and exaggerated the military exploits. Sending someone from Chang'an to verify, back and forth, will take a lot of time, so let's just let the governor of Qingzhou send someone to verify first, so that it can be faster, we don't have to wait too long here in Goguryeo! ”

Su Dingfang nodded and said: "If the prince still wants to take care of things, then he will write a report to Chang'an, and then write a letter to Qingzhou." Don't say let the governor of Qingzhou check it, but let him answer it, so that things will be safe. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, just do it, you do it, I don't worry!" After the order was finished, he asked the Qingzhou soldiers to bring two chairs, he took the treasure king's hand, stepped on the chairs, stood on the battlements, and kept waving to the people of Goguryeo.

The Treasure King didn't understand why he was waving his hand around, he was different from Li Zhi, who liked to listen to the cheers of the people, but he was a little scared. Years of "breeding" life, he is very afraid of contact with strangers, especially the people below are crying, although Wang Ping'an kept telling him that the people are crying with joy, but he still does not want to stay on the city wall.

Wang Ping'an saw that the treasure king was about to cry, so he hurriedly called the herald and said loudly: "My righteous son, as the king of Goguryeo, now accepts the cheers of the people, but the cheers are not loud enough to show the people's love for him!" ”

He paused, got out of his chair, called the herald to come over, and whispered: "Didn't you say that there are many people who want to be my Tang people, go and tell them that as long as you cheer at the king and shout Chitose, then after shouting, you can receive a day's rations, and then wait here, saying that we will issue them a letter of confession to recognize that they are the people of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The herald thought to himself: "We just burned down people's national capitals and burned down all the houses, look at how they cry, and now they still want to recruit people to be the people of the Tang Dynasty, who can do it, even if there are a few people who don't take *** seriously, it may not be a lot!" ”

The herald descended the wall and passed the order down. To the surprise of the Qingzhou soldiers, only talking about rations, and talking about being able to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning, there were indeed not many people responding, most of them were reporting a wait-and-see attitude, even if some people came, they were all similar to the kind of ruffians, the change of dynasty did not matter to these people, but they came to receive rations, but they would be cold-eyed by many people!

The Qingzhou soldiers changed their attitude towards these scoundrels who "had the courage to surrender to sincerity", and not only sent large pieces of horse meat down, but even gave them sticks to maintain the order of the people...... The situation immediately changed!

The country suffered from this chaos, the atmosphere of the death of the country is strong, the people of Goguryeo are now most concerned about how to live, not who the king is, after all, the face can not be eaten, as long as you surrender to the Tang Army, you can have something to eat, then for the time being, it is a big deal to wait for the full, and it is too late to rebel!

At the beginning, the Qingzhou soldiers asked the Goguryeo people to cheer on the city wall after receiving the rations, but as more and more people came to surrender to Chengcheng, the demands naturally rose, and the Goguryeo people must first cheer to the city, and then they can receive rations, and the cheers must also be loud, otherwise the cheers are also white cheers, and the rations will not be given. Anyway, some people don't cheer, and some people cheer!

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live; The king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old! "The cheers came and went, louder than the other!

In a few moments, thousands of people were screaming by their necks, hoarse and deafening!

Wang Ping'an stood back in his chair, looked down, and said with a smile: "This is like a little talk." Very good, very good. My son, do you feel a sense of greatness in your bosom when the people are cheering for you, and what do you want to say to them? ”

He turned his head and looked at the Treasure King, thinking in his heart that he wanted to teach the Treasure King how to speak, and to talk nonsense to the people of Goguryeo, encouraging the people to rebuild their homes and swear allegiance to the Treasure King!

But when he turned his head, he saw the Treasure King staggering, standing on the chair and shaking. Not only that, but he also had tears in his eyes, as if he was going to cry!

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, what's wrong with this kid, why is he so virtuous, it's too unproductive! Had he never presided over any ceremony before, let alone received the cheers of the people? As a king, it is necessary to preside over the ceremony, and you may not have any experience at all!

The fact is that the Treasure King really has no experience at all, let alone accept the cheers of the people, and he has never seen many men, let alone so many people in the city. Since he was a child, he has never heard any big movements, at most, when he eats, he knocks on the rice bowl, which can be regarded as making a little noise!

Wang Ping'an didn't ask him if he was okay, and when he asked, the treasure king burst into tears and shouted, "I want to go back to the palace, I want to go back to the palace!" This time he spoke Goguryeo and shouted out.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly pulled him down from the chair and asked, "What are you crying for, what are you talking about, say the words of our Tang Dynasty, don't say the words of Goguryeo, I don't understand my father!" ”

But the Treasure King just opened his mouth wide and cried out, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

Wang Ping'an beckoned to the interpreter and asked, "What did he say just now, but he was saying that I am not good at Datang?" If this treasure king dares to talk nonsense, then don't blame him for ignoring the "love between father and son", and he must put this unfilial son in a small black tent and starve him for a few days!

The interpreter hurriedly came up and said, "Back to the prince, your new son is homesick and shouting to go home!" When he finished translating the words, he laughed, how old is this king, how can he still be like an ignorant child.

Wang Ping'an sighed and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I want to go home, not to feed, otherwise I will go where to find a nurse for him!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Wang Ping'an asked the interpreter to lead the treasure king down the city wall. He faced the city and looked at the burnt rubble.

He thought to himself: "In terms of Goguryeo's current national strength, if you want to remove this rubble and build the national capital, it will take far more manpower and material resources than you can directly build a new city." However, the greater the cost, the higher the tax will be, and the more chaotic the situation will be, so let's build it on the original site, so that I can rest assured! ”

After thinking about things for a while, Wang Ping'an went down the city wall, turned back to the camp, and waited for the infantry general of Yuangai Suwen to send someone to surrender to him.

It is estimated that today's receiving ceremony will make the infantry general feel at ease, as long as he can come and surrender, then Wang Ping'an can return to the Tang Dynasty with confidence, and the war in Goguryeo will be over, as for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fully annex this country, that is the matter of a general like Li Ji.

Wang Ping'an sat in the tent and thought: "If you want me to come here again, I won't come if I am killed, the reason is that I am seasick!" ”

The sky turned dark, there was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the infantry general of Yuan Gai Suwen really sent someone to come to test, wanting to see the attitude of the Tang army, and wanted to find out, if he surrendered, what kind of treatment the Tang army gave him, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to talk about the conditions, and wanted to surrender conditionally!

Wang Ping'an spoke tightly, personally received the general of Goguryeo, and invited the treasure king to meet with them. To Wang Ping'an's surprise, the general didn't know the Treasure King, and the Treasure King also said that it was the first time he had seen him!

Since the infantry general sent this general, it means that this general is definitely a heavyweight, and he can be regarded as the deputy general of the infantry unit. But such a high-powered general, the treasure king doesn't even know him, and the general doesn't know the king of his country, this is really a big joke in the world!

The generals of the Qingzhou Army were all surprised by this, it is hard to imagine that the small court of Goguryeo could have such a thing, it really opened the eyes of ***!

Wang Ping'an didn't say anything, but expressed his understanding of this, and also acted as an introducer, introducing the king of Goguryeo to the general of Goguryeo!

One through negotiations, big talk about conditions. Wang Ping'an put forward three requirements, one is that Goguryeo must be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, and pay tribute every year, and the amount of tribute is one-tenth of Goguryeo's annual tax, which can be paid with war horses and copper; Second, the infantry generals must continue to serve the treasure king as the king, if the treasure king dies, the Goguryeo people must not set up a king on their own, but must be designated by the Tang Dynasty as the king's candidate; The third is that Goguryeo immediately broke off diplomatic relations with Baekje, and if the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer Baekje, Goguryeo would send an army as a servant army to follow the Tang army to fight Baekje.

The general had plenipotentiary on behalf of the infantry generals, and agreed to all three requirements, and as for the conditions he proposed, there was only one, that is, to let the infantry generals succeed Yuangai Suwen, inherit all the power of Yuangai Suwen, and become the protector of Goguryeo!

Wang Ping'an naturally agreed, and personally wrote a letter, promising this matter, the letter can not only reassure the infantry general's heart, but also can be used as a certificate, if Wang Ping'an regrets it in the future, the infantry general can make this letter public, and send someone to the Tang Dynasty to sue Wang Ping'an.

The conditions were negotiated, and the general left the camp and hurried back to report the news. That night, the infantry commander came to the camp with a group of generals to meet Wang Ping'an and the treasure king.

The infantry general's surname is Che Zhengxian, and now he still has 30,000 Goguryeo infantry in his hands, but as long as it is expanded, it will soon reach 100,000, which is enough to confront those city lords!

Wang Ping'an personally greeted him out of the camp, and when he was far away, he shouted: "Ahead, but is the Great Mo of Goguryeo leaving the branch car?" ”

When Che Zhengxian heard this, he was ecstatic in his heart, it seems that Tang Jun really wants to support him, otherwise how can he be called Da Mo Lizhi in public!

The general in charge of the negotiation whispered: "General...... No, no, it's a big deal. The one in the purple robe on the opposite side is the commander of the Tang Army, Wang Ping'an, the prince of Wang Ping'an! ”
