"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Letters written in Goguryeo script were shot into Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, with arrows cut off so they would not hurt anyone. And when the arrows were shot into the city, they were picked up by the people. Of course, ordinary Goguryeo people were illiterate, so they didn't recognize it. In ancient times, the literacy rate in the Tang Dynasty was no more than ten percent, and Goguryeo was definitely even lower. And they took it to those Goguryeo literati to see, hoping that they could give some answers.

"Hey, the king is like this?" The literati of Goguryeo immediately shook their heads and said.

"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.

"The king killed the entire family of Yizhi Wende, just to curry favor with the Tang army outside. The king thought that if he killed Yizhi Wende's family, the Tang army would also retreat. As a result, we have now killed Ezhi Wende's family, but we have not been able to exchange for the withdrawal of the Tang Dynasty, we ......"

And the people of Goguryeo were a little confused, because Eulji Wende also had a very high status in the hearts of Goguryeo people. Eulzhi Wende repelled the attack of the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army and killed many Sui troops, which greatly improved Goguryeo's national self-esteem. Originally, they were all subservient to the Sui Dynasty, but because of Yizhi Wende, they were able to sit on an equal footing with the Sui Dynasty, so Yizhi Wende has always been a hero of the Sui Dynasty. And the influence of Eulzhi Wende can be said to be deep in the bone marrow, even in the later generations of South Korea, Eulzhi Wende is also a hero of Korea, although this Eulchi Wende is not the ancestor of the Koreans, but they insist on pretending to admit it. The Ulchi Martial Arts Medal is the second-class medal of South Korea in later generations, second only to the Taiji Martial Arts Medal, which is enough to show that the influence of Ulchi Wende on the Korean Peninsula is actually deep in the bone marrow.

But now the king of Goguryeo actually killed the family of Eulji Wendeok so "stupidly", just to curry favor with the Tang army and hope that the Tang army would retreat. This news can be said to be a great blow to the morale of the people of Goguryeo, and everyone originally wanted to do their best to fight the Tang Dynasty people once and strive to defeat the Tang Dynasty people again. In this way, the honor of the country is sought. But now his own king is so ineffective, he actually wants to kill the family members of his heroes to curry favor with the enemy and make the enemy retreat. This kind of thinking has to be said to be very good and powerful, which makes hundreds of people feel cold, and it is cold to the bones.

Everyone is also thinking that if they make meritorious service by then, even if they repel the attack of the Tang Dynasty this time, then the Central Plains Dynasty will come again, and their descendants and family members will also be killed. If so, is such a dynasty worthy of allegiance? A government that wants to curry favor with foreign enemies by killing its own heroes will never gain anyone's support. Regardless of whether it is the common people, nobles, military and cultural officials, they will not support this kind of government and such a king. If you make meritorious service but are killed, you can't keep your heroes, how spineless and courageless you are! Therefore, the people of Goguryeo felt extremely cold to Gao Jianwu at this moment.

"Then how did the Tang Dynasty people treat General Yizhi Wende? Was it chopped into pâté, or was it fed to the dogs? Someone asked worriedly.

However, the cultural man of Goguryeo shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty posthumously awarded him a title, and he was the king of Liaodong County!" ”

"What? Can you still get posthumous? "Yes! How can it still be sealed? We killed almost a million Han Chinese, and we took their bones as a Jingguan. How can this Yizhi Wende still get posthumously? "General Yizhi Wende has done so much, but can the Tang Dynasty people still forgive him and give him a posthumous title?" ……

The Goguryeo people couldn't believe it, and the Tang Dynasty actually gave Eulji Wende a posthumous seal. Instead of chopping Eulchiwende's family into meat sauce or feeding it to the dogs. And Eulji Wende was able to be buried with the gift of the king of the county, which can be said to be a great honor for Eulji Wende, and this situation made many Goguryeo people feel a little ashamed.

At that time, the king of Goguryeo took the bones of these Sui Dynasty soldiers as a Jingguan. Used to show off martial arts. How arrogant they were at that time, but now the Tang Dynasty has come to avenge their predecessors, and Yizhi Wende has long since died. Now Eulji Mundeok's family was also killed by the king of Goguryeo. Then it was given to Datang. However, Datang did not take the opportunity to take revenge on Yizhi Wende and his family, but also respectfully posthumously awarded the title of county king, and was buried with the gift of the county king. This is enough to show that Datang is a real civilized person and a real state of etiquette. And the people of the Central Plains were able to repay their grievances with virtue and did not insult some corpses, which was too good compared to them.

And many Goguryeo people make such a comparison, then they find that what they did back then was too inauthentic. He killed each other back then, and he also took their corpses as a kyokan. But now that the Tang Dynasty people have come to take revenge, they have not done anything to insult the corpse of their opponents, which is a thousand times more civilized than them, and this makes many Goguryeo people feel a little ashamed.

"Hey, it seems that the Central Plains is really the Central Plains, and we Goguryeo people still have to learn for a long time!" Someone sighed.

And many people were silent, originally they thought that they could really be on an equal footing with the Central Plains, but now it seems that they are still far from the Central Plains! Although they may one day be able to surpass the Central Plains in military strength, the territory may not be less than that of the Central Plains. However, in terms of civilization, it is countless times worse than that of the Central Plains. Not long ago, many Goguryeo people were still very proud of those Jingguan made of the bones of Sui Dynasty soldiers, and they thought they were martial arts. But now they found that the Tang Dynasty had long surpassed these vulgar behaviors, and they also realized that this kind of insulting the enemy's corpse and using it for martial arts was actually great barbarism, and they were just a group of barbarians after all.

As for the truly civilized people, they will never insult the corpses of their enemies, otherwise they will be a bunch of brutes. And the Goguryeo people compared the Tang Dynasty people and their own behavior only to find that the Tang Dynasty is the real civilization, and they are far from the Tang Dynasty compared to them.

And this time, the behavior of the Tang Dynasty can be said to have truly destroyed the national self-esteem established by Goguryeo with the war with the Sui Dynasty, and shattered the situation that they thought they could be on an equal footing with the Central Plains. They also realized that they still had to learn many years compared to the Central Plains! (To be continued......)
