With the edict of Goguryeo's surrender, it was sent to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also stopped bombing indiscriminately. Although this result was a bit unsatisfactory, it made everyone feel relieved. Because this conquest of Goguryeo is finally over, after all, the Goguryeo people have also surrendered. And the rest of the Xi and Ya people, and even the Baekje people, it depends on whether they know the goods or not. If they don't know how to be interested, then they will be killed directly. As for the next step, everyone is going to enter Pyongyang City.

"The criminal minister Goguryeo King Gaozang wants the Tang Emperor to surrender. The sinners knew that they were guilty and did not dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness. But the people of Goguryeo are innocent, and I ask the emperor to let them go. Takazo said.

Gozang held the seal of the king of Goguryeo in both hands, and then knelt outside the city of Pyongyang, and then apparently in a state of sorrow. As for the words of those who call themselves sinners, they are all right. Although Takazo thinks he is not guilty, who made him defeated? To be defeated, that is the greatest sin. After all, the victor is never guilty, and every crime is done by the loser, and this is the so-called success and defeat, and history is written by the winner.

And Gozang also knows that his Goguryeo is finished. Goguryeo was originally a country with a history of hundreds of years, and it began to rise from the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then reached its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, occupying the four counties of Liaodong during the Han Dynasty. Even invaded the Central Plains from time to time to take advantage of some advantages. Since the Sui Dynasty failed three expeditions, their national pride has been reinvigorated, and now it has been destroyed all at once. They also confirmed a sentence, they will always pay it back when they come out. They obviously don't have the strength, but they have ambitions that don't match their strength at all, which also causes their demise. Their population is only a little more than one-tenth of that of Datang, but they want to fight against Datang, isn't this death?

But. Li Shimin has no idea of insulting this Goguryeo king now. After all, people have surrendered anyway, if they still take the opportunity to insult him, wouldn't it be too bad? Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to show his magnanimity, so that the people of Goguryeo could experience the kindness and benevolence of the Tang Emperor, and let them feel that it was not completely bad to follow the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there are still differences between them and ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, for example, they have to bear heavier taxes and more forced labor. And if you want to be an official, you must be ranked behind the people of Datang under the same conditions, which is also a variety of discriminatory policies. But who made them the ones who lost their country? It would be nice not to have them all as slaves. As for those who are still insisting on rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. There are also those who are disrespectful to Datang and do not obey the management, and they must also be reduced to slaves, so that they can tell everyone that Datang not only has mercy, but also cruel means.

"The king was able to take care of the people and surrender in Kaesong, which is really a blessing for the king and the people of Goguryeo." Li Shimin said.

And next. Gozang held the map of Goguryeo again, and then took it to Li Shimin to unfold it, and then wanted to surrender Li Shimin. Take out the map and surrender, this represents the sacrifice of the land. Then it will be incorporated into another country. Although Gao Zang was very reluctant, now that the form shì was stronger than the human, he had no choice.

After the map was unfolded, Li Shimin also smiled. Because he has succeeded in expanding his territory. And when Li Shimin just wanted to accept it, he was suddenly stopped.

"Wait!" Jingwen said.

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately continued: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this map!" ”

"What could be the problem?" Takazo asked.

Gao Zang was also very puzzled. This map is actually a map of the entire border of Goguryeo, so how can there be a problem? Gao Zang is also absolutely inexplicable, what kind of moth does this Jingwen want to come up with!

"Your Majesty, if you look at this map of Goguryeo, although I don't know the Goguryeo text, I can clearly see that this map covers the peninsula where Pyongyang is located, and then to the four counties of Liaodong during the Han Dynasty. And the four counties of Liaodong have always been my Chinese homeland, when did they become the territory of Goguryeo? Although Goguryeo has been stealing these territories, it does not mean that Goguryeo can legally own these territories. Now, if we accept this map, it is a recognition of Goguryeo's legitimate possession of these territories for the past hundreds of years. Although Goguryeo is now about to be annexed, this issue must also be clearly distinguished, and we Datang will definitely not be able to admit it! Once you admit it, there will be endless troubles in the future. Jingwen said.

Jingwen means that Goguryeo divided the territories of the four Liaodong counties during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but if the Tang Dynasty accepts this map now, it is equivalent to admitting that Goguryeo has legally owned these territories in the past hundreds of years. And even if the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo now, once it is admitted that Goguryeo legally owned these territories in the past hundreds of years, it will prove that the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo was unjust and a war of aggression. If this map is accepted, it is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty vetoing its own justice to the Goguryeo War. At that time, the so-called reason for the Tang Dynasty to recover its homeland could not stand, but instead became an invasion of other countries.

For this, Jing Wenke is very cautious. In later generations, many Korean sticks also declared that the so-called Liaodong was the territory of Goguryeo. As for why the Korean stick in later generations was able to find evidence, Jingwen didn't care. However, this reminded Jingwen that it was absolutely impossible to recognize Goguryeo's legal possession of this land, even if Goguryeo was about to die. Once this map is accepted, that is, the legal possession of Goguryeo's past rights to the four counties of Liaodong is recognized, not to mention that the justice of the Tang Dynasty's war against Goguryeo will also be reduced, and it will also leave a handle for future generations.

Therefore, it is necessary to exclude the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, and then the rest is the territory of Goguryeo. In this way, if it comes to the future generations, those Korean sticks will have no reason to find evidence to prove that these territories are Goguryeo. Therefore, this map cannot be accepted, and once this map is accepted, the legitimacy of the war in the Tang Dynasty will be questioned. Since ancient times, the Chinese have paid attention to the fact that the teacher is famous, and if the teacher is nameless, it will be sprayed to death. (To be continued......)
