893, Goguryeo who died (II)
"Foreign Minister Yuan Gai Suwen, I have seen the Tang Emperor!" The envoy of Goguryeo said.
"Yuangai Suwen?" Jingwen had heard the name.
Jingwen had heard of the name Yuangai Suwen, because Jingwen had read an ancient romance novel in later generations, that is, a novel called "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the East". And which of the big villains in it is Yuangai Suwen, who is the great Mo branch of Goguryeo and has set aside the king of Goguryeo. However, later Jingwen also probably knew that this Yuangai Suwen was actually a powerful minister of Goguryeo, and he inherited his father's position as prime minister, and then he was able to overthrow Goguryeo. And he still killed the monarch and abolished the establishment, so he is a big villain.
However, this Yuan Gai Suwen is only in his thirties now, and he is not a very old person. And judging from the fact that he can take the initiative to envoy to Datang now, he actually did not inherit his father's position. And Yuangai Suwen really shocked the world when Tang Taizong Li Shimin went to Goguryeo in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in the original history, and this Yuangai Suwen successfully blocked Tang Taizong, so that his prestige in Goguryeo was greatly improved. Therefore, this Yuangai Suwen is one of the few people who defeated Li Shimin, and at that time, Yuangai Suwen was almost against all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and it was rare to be able to block it. If nothing else, this Yuangai Suwen is actually a rare general in the ages, after all, it is not a simple matter to be able to conquer Goguryeo under the attack of so many founding generals of the Tang Dynasty.
And this Yuan Gai Suwen also has a great reputation in South Korea in later generations, after all, he blocked the attack of the Tang Dynasty. In later generations, Koreans often misidentified their ancestors and regarded Goguryeo as their ancestors. So Yuangai Suwen is already a person who is revered in Korea in later generations, but now he is standing in front of him. However, this Yuan Gai Suwen is still a beard, and he actually looks very energetic, and his early thirties are just the most energetic time. And more than a decade later, he reached the top.
However, because the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo was ten years ahead of schedule, and Yuangai Suwen was not able to inherit his father's position, he was also sent to the Tang Dynasty. This time may have been his father's test for him. That's why he came over. However, I'm afraid that with Yuangai Suwen, a military strongman, I'm afraid he won't be soft.
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is ready to conquer our Goguryeo, we already know this! However, the foreign minister hoped that the emperor would give up this idea, and if the Tang Dynasty insisted on attacking Goguryeo, I am afraid that it would end up in the same fate as the Sui Dynasty! Yuangai Suwen said proudly.
And now is actually the time when Goguryeo is erecting its national pride, they defeated the Central Plains Dynasty, so they think that they can be equal to the Central Plains Dynasty, so they are very arrogant. Even now in the face of Li Shimin. They also dare to face it directly, and they will not pretend to be their grandson to get Datang's forgiveness. They thought that since they were able to defeat the Sui Dynasty army three times, they should also be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty again, which was their conceit for no reason.
"Do you think of me as a faint monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui? I was born on the battlefield and was invincible, and a small Goguryeo could not stop us. If you are convicted, then quickly let your lord sacrifice the land and take the initiative to attach it. Otherwise, we won't be so good at talking! Li Shimin said domineeringly.
But Yuangai Suwen snorted: "Your Majesty, your Central Plains was defeated in the hands of our Goguryeo, and it is not the first time. So this time, I also asked the emperor to give up his plan to conquer Goguryeo, otherwise those white bones from Pyongyang to the Yalu River. It is your Datang example! ”
"What?" "Rampant enough!" "Please ask the emperor to pull this madman to behead the public and use it to sacrifice the flag!" "Your Majesty, this madman can't let go, he must be beheaded!" ……
The ministers were shouting for beheading. Because this Yuangai Suwen had once again used the White Bone Essence Jingguan as a reason to talk about things, after all, this could be said to be an unbearable pain in the Central Plains, so this guy said this again. That obviously annoys everyone. And now everyone doesn't even ignore the so-called rules of the two armies fighting and not beheading.
And Li Shimin immediately said: "Since you are so rampant, then I will follow the path of the bones of my Chinese children and attack all the way to Pyongyang, the capital of your country." I believe that along the way, the spirit of the Chinese children in heaven will definitely bless me Datang all the way to conquer Pyongyang, invincible and invincible! ”
"Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!" ……
And Yuangai Suwen obviously wanted to fight with Datang for a long time, after all, Yuangai Suwen is not a weak person, since he can fight with Datang, he can't wait to fight with Datang and establish his prestige. If he can defeat the Tang Dynasty again, then he will become a hero of Goguryeo, and there will be no obstacle to inheriting his father's position. For Yuangai Suwen, Datang is also his stepping stone, a stepping stone for him to glory. At that time, Eulji Wende defeated the Sui Dynasty's army of more than one million people, making Eulji Wende a hero of Goguryeo, and now Yuangai Suwen also hopes so.
"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers are in Goguryeo, waiting for your attack!" Yuangai Suwen shouted.
"Okay, I want to see how you Goguryeo block me!" Li Shimin snorted.
Next, Yuangai Suwen left immediately, and Li Shimin didn't kill him. After all, the two armies do not fight each other, and this is also an unspoken rule. Even if the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo were ready to fight, it would be impossible to behead Yuangai Suwen.
And Jingwen looked at this arrogant situation of Yuan Gai Suwen, and couldn't help but complain in his heart. This Yuangai Suwen underestimated the current Tang army, and Jingwen had already begun to prepare since the Northern Expedition to the Turks. From the army's firearms to the construction of various logistical systems, it has been very perfect. If, according to the original history, Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo failed, it was because the weather was cold, so he was forced to withdraw his troops. But in this time and space, Jingwen "invented" the down jacket, which is light and has a good warmth effect, and it is not too difficult for soldiers to fight in winter. Moreover, down jackets are easy to source, and in this era there are birds everywhere, and it is easy to obtain down to make zuò clothes. Therefore, the winter war is not an insurmountable chasm, so Goguryeo will be unlucky this time. (To be continued......)
