Li Shimin's statement about Jingwen felt very strange. Why did Jingwen actually say that he could negotiate peace with Goguryeo, and that he could not negotiate territorial issues with Goguryeo? This territory is something that Datang must come back, after all, these territories are enough to distribute land and property to many people, of course, it is very important. As for this, this Goguryeo must also be destroyed, otherwise those soldiers will not agree. Therefore, Goguryeo must be destroyed, otherwise the soldiers whose fathers died in Goguryeo will not agree. But Jingwen actually said this, which shocked Li Shimin very much.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Jingwen said.

And Jingwen then said to this Gaozang: "Gaozang, do you know why our Tang Dynasty had to attack and destroy Goguryeo? Our Datang is to avenge the revenge of a Chinese son, you killed almost a million of our former Sui soldiers, these are our Chinese children. If we don't help them take revenge, there is really no way to explain to the people in the country. This time, it was not so much that we took the initiative to go on the expedition, but that the people of the country forced us to go on the expedition. If we can't give an explanation to the people in the country, then how can we solve it? ”

And Li Shimin listened to Jingwen talking nonsense here, and he was also inexplicable. In fact, the people in China did not force the government to go to war, and the people in the country did not like to fight very much. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court deliberately publicized some evil things in Goguryeo, the people would not have taken the initiative to be willing for the country to go to foreign countries. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have not liked war, but they are not afraid of it. However, if there is no initiative of the government, the people will not want to attack and destroy Goguryeo, which is also an inherent situation. But now Jingwen actually said so, what kind of medicine is sold in Jingwen's gourd?

"Gaozang, if you kill someone, you will kill someone, why do you still keep the bones of these soldiers as a Jingguan? It is precisely for these reasons that the people of the Tang Dynasty hate you Goguryeo to the core, so this is why our Tang expedition to Goguryeo this time has been made. Jingwen asked.

Gao Zang immediately said: "Then let's clean up these bones immediately, so that the bones of these soldiers can be returned to the Central Plains!" ”

"You still don't understand what we mean. These bones have been collected by our soldiers, and you don't need to clean them up. I mean, with the blood debt of almost hundreds of lives, someone naturally has to come out and take responsibility. We, Datang, also have to give an explanation to the people and the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be convinced. So, you know what I mean? These soldiers of the former Sui Dynasty died in your Goguryeo, so at least someone must carry this matter on their shoulders, so that the culprit who killed these soldiers can be punished. Jingwen said.

And Gao Zang immediately said: "These are all killed by Ezhi Wende, as for making a white bone Jingguan to show off martial arts." It was also proposed by Eji Wende. But now that Eozchi Wende is dead, we have no way to continue to pursue him! ”

"Man is dead, but he should have descendants! And when the man dies, he still has relatives! Jingwen said.

"This ......," Takazo said.

"Alright, you go back!" Jingwen said.

Gao Zang was a little thoughtful, obviously understanding what Jingwen meant.

And Li Shimin was also surprised for a while, and said: "Jingwen, your trick is really ruthless!" You forced them to kill the family of the so-called culprit, Ulji Moondeok, which is equivalent to making the Goguryeo royal family lose the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people's officials. If Gao Jianwu really dared to do this. Then I'm afraid that the hearts of the Goguryeo soldiers will be cold! ”

Jingwen's meaning is obvious, that is, to force the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu to kill the family of Eulzhi Wende, the general who annihilated hundreds of thousands of troops of the Sui Dynasty that year. Although Eulzhi Wende died, Jingwen forced them to kill Eulzhi Wende's family. It's really spicy.

For Goguryeo, Eulji Mundeok can be said to be the hero who saved the fate of the country, but now the king of Goguryeo killed the family members of the heroes in order to save his country. This is really chilling for a lot of people. Because the enemy asks you to kill the hero who defended the country, so if you kill him, it will be enough to chill many people. When the time comes, will their courtiers think that it is a meritorious service? When the time comes, he will be killed by his own king to curry favor with foreign countries? There are many such cases.

During the Song Dynasty, if you made meritorious contributions to fighting foreign clans on the battlefield, you were easy to be killed by the imperial court when they negotiated peace, as a means to curry favor with foreign clans, such as Yue Fei. Therefore, the greater the military achievements during the Song Dynasty, the easier it was to be sent to the enemy by those traitorous courts. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were many examples of sending meritorious heroes who had killed the enemy to the enemy to deal with, which was very chilling. He worked hard to kill the enemy for the country, but he was actually betrayed to the enemy by his own country, as a means to curry favor with the enemy, which will make many soldiers think that if they have made meritorious service, they will lose their lives. In this way, who would dare to work hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and who would dare to fight foreign humiliation for the country?

Therefore, the reason why the military strength of the Song Dynasty is not strong is definitely one of them. Because once they negotiate peace, those who have killed the enemy before will be sent to sacrifice the flag. This kind of spineless court is very chilling to the soldiers and the people.

Now Gyeongwen forced Goguryeo to kill the family of Eulji Mundeok, that is, to kill the family of his own country's meritorious heroes to curry favor with foreign countries. What did the Goguryeo soldiers think when the time came? At that time, they knew that the conditions of the Tang Dynasty were like this, and the king of Goguryeo really did it, which must have chilled many people in their own country. When the time comes, everyone will also consider whether this king is worthy of allegiance. At that time, once the more enemies were killed, the greater the sin, then who would work hard to resist the Tang Army? At that time, there will be a condition in the Central Plains, that is, let you kill the hero's family, so who can stand it!

"General Jingwen, will Goguryeo be fooled like this? The Goguryeo people are not stupid, so they naturally know the problems here, but will they still be fooled? Kindman asked.

However, Jingwen said: "They have no choice, only to gamble." If they don't gamble, then they may not be able to save the fate of the country. Now the king of Goguryeo, that is, a gambler who has lost a red eye, as long as there is a chance to turn the buck, they will do it. ”

"This is really shameless enough, forcing others to kill their own heroes is simply shameless!" Kindman said.

"Huh!" Jingwen was not ashamed, but laughed out loud. (To be continued......)
