"Foreign minister Goguryeo Gaozang, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" A Goguryeo envoy said.

"Gozang, the royal family of Goguryeo?" Li Shimin asked.

And the messenger immediately said: "Your Majesty, yes, the minister is the younger brother of the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu, Gao Zang." The foreign minister was ordered by Brother Wang to come to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Peace? It sounds fresh! Jingwen snorted.

At this time, Goguryeo was left with only one capital, Pyongyang, but he still wanted to negotiate peace. If Datang agrees to them, then he is a fool!

"Say it! What do you want? Li Shimin asked.

Although Li Shimin is very disdainful of these guys, he still has to listen to what he can say. After all, people are messengers, and if you don't listen to their opinions, it will be disrespectful to their country. Although people are about to perish, they still have to retain a certain amount of respect before they perish.

"His Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I Goguryeo know that it is wrong, and we should not offend the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty, so Goguryeo knows that it is wrong. And I hope that the Tang Dynasty will withdraw from the army, and we Goguryeo are willing to pay tribute every year and come to the court every year, and the foreign ministers can also serve as the protons of Goguryeo and go to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to live. And I just hope that Datang can withdraw from the army, so that I, Goguryeo, will definitely be a loyal minister of Datang and a dog of Datang! Takazo said.

Listening to this Gaozang's words, Jingwen was a little speechless, this Goguryeo is really shameless enough, and he actually said that as long as Datang can withdraw from the army, Goguryeo is willing to be a dog in Datang. But how could Jingwen, as a later generation, not understand the virtues of these Chinese vassals? Those Chinese vassals, when the Central Plains were strong, also surrendered to their feet, and then hoped to obtain some of the remaining bones of the Central Plains to gain benefits. However, once the power of the Central Plains weakens, they will also take advantage of the Central Plains in turn. Didn't Goguryeo take advantage of the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty and various Central Plains chaos to occupy a large area of land in Liaodong?

If you don't talk about it, you will talk about the Hereafter. Jing Wen knows the two typical examples of North Korea and Vietnam. They were able to survive all because of China's support, but once China left, they did not recognize this kindness, but bit back to China. They all dared to do this when China was strong, which is enough to show that as long as they have a stronger backer, they will also dare to bite back on China. Therefore, none of these subject countries, Jingwen believed in their loyalty. The loyalty of these vassal states, Jingwen is skeptical, or even not believed at all, after all, historical experience is here. They must be destroyed directly in order for them to truly have one heart with the Central Plains.

"Finished?" Jingwen asked.

"Well, what more do you need?" Takazo asked.

Jingwen immediately asked, "Then how are you going to compensate us?" Our Datang sent an army of 100,000, sacrificed countless soldiers, and spent so much wealth to be enough for this expedition, so how are you going to compensate us? ”

"Well, this!"

Gao Zang scolded Jingwen in his heart, this Jingwen is really shameless. In Gaozang's view, it was obvious that the Tang Dynasty invaded them, but now Jingwen actually asked Goguryeo for these compensations. This is simply unreasonable. It is simply shameless for the aggressor to demand compensation for military expenses from the aggressor side. But he didn't know that Jingwen was learning from foreigners in later generations, and the losing side would instead have to pay the winning side someone else's military expenses to attack him. It's so shameless anyway.

"We're willing to give!" Takazo said.

Gaozang knew that it was inevitable that he would hemorrhage this time, but in order to keep Goguryeo from perishing, it could still be beneficial. As for Datang's extortion. That's understandable, after all, people are sending troops anyway, so how can they leave like this if they don't get back the cost?

"And. What about territorial issues? You Goguryeo took advantage of the troubled times in my Central Plains to constantly encroach on our territory, so how do you explain it? Do you not know that you ought to return to their rightful owners? Jingwen asked.

Takazo finally realized that this problem was inevitable. Originally, Gao Zang deliberately didn't say anything about the territorial issue, but now it was actually raised by Jingwen. This territorial issue can be said to be a huge problem, because Goguryeo encroached on so many territories of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Goguryeo also regarded these territories as its own. But now he is actually going back by the Tang Dynasty, which is obviously something that Goguryeo can't do. Most of Goguryeo's territory is also in the Liaodong area, and if the Liaodong area is given back to the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid that Goguryeo will have no territory to speak of.

"We Goguryeo have lived here for a long time, so we Goguryeo have multiplied here, I think it's better to ......" Goguryeo wanted to refute the reason for the fact of possession.

But Jingwen didn't eat this and said, "Don't talk this nonsense to me." If according to your theory, then I gave the daughter of your Goguryeo king to that, then is the daughter of your Goguryeo king also my woman? So yours is a completely false proposition! ”

"Poof!" Jindeman suddenly laughed.

And there was a burst of anger in Gao Zang's heart, Jingwen actually used the Goguryeo princess as a metaphor, obviously deliberately despising them. However, Jingwen's words are not rough, if according to the theory of Goguryeo, they occupied this land and multiplied on it, it would be theirs. So if Jingwen gave their daughter to the Goguryeo king, does that mean that the daughter of the Goguryeo king belongs to Jingwen? So this is simply impossible, the theory of de facto possession still does not work in the East. Although in later generations, some countries in the West had the so-called fact that they had a certain number of years of public possession, which belonged to them, but the East did not work in this regard. And this is a matter of territorial issues, who would be like this, because someone else actually possessed it, and gave it to others.

"However, we Goguryeo people have already multiplied in this land, so you can't kill them all, can you?" Gao Zang said with a rogue voice.

Gaozang is such a scoundrel, anyway, his own people are all in that land, you can't kill them all, right? If Datang really dares to do this, then I'm afraid no one will continue to be friends with Datang.

"Actually, there are some things that can be discussed! If you want to negotiate peace, it's okay, and it's easy to talk about the territorial issue, but it's ......," Jingwen said.

"What?" Li Shimin was immediately surprised. (To be continued......)
