Now the three armies are still under the control of Yuangai Suwen, Gao Yanshou asked.

"Your Majesty, General Nayuan?"

Gao Jianwu said lightly.

"Yuangai Suwen conquered Silla, although he failed to occupy Silla, but he attacked the city all the way, raised the prestige of Goguryeo, and worked hard, but he was also exhausted in this battle, how could he bear to let him continue to fight?"

After all, the king is still suspicious of Yuan Gai Suwen! However, the king just dismissed Yuan Gai Suwen's military power, and did not dispose of Yuan Gai Suwen, which made him feel a little pity! Gao Hui said respectfully.

"General Yuan's expedition is very hard, he should rest more, the king is sympathetic to his subordinates, General Yuan will definitely be grateful to the king!"

Gao Jianwu nodded.

"Lone will summon Yuan Gai Suwen into the palace to consol, you will go to the camp to work in the camp with Lone's will, and gather soldiers to take over the army by the way, understand?"

"Obey the order!"

Gao Jianwu and Gao Huizhen were overjoyed when they heard this, originally they were really afraid that there would be some chaos in the camp with Yuan Gai Suwen, after all, Yuan Gai Suwen controlled the army all the way, and won consecutive battles, he must have established prestige in the army, and now, the king summoned Yuan Gai Suwen into the palace, and then they took the opportunity to go to the army and easily take over the army.

"The king has an order, the army is thirty miles away from the capital and camped on the spot, and the main general Yuangai Suwen will enter the palace to meet him!"

Yuangai Suwen and a group of generals were not surprised to receive this order, after all, it was the return of 200,000 troops, and it was impossible to enter the city, so they could only camp near the capital.

"Ben Shuai will enter the palace to see the driver, you camp on the spot and wait for Ben Shuai to come back, you must strictly restrain the soldiers, without Ben Shuai's general order, you can't leave the camp and enter the city at will!"

Yuangai Suwen faintly instructed after receiving the will.

"Don't worry, the last general will definitely abide by the commander's orders and never leave the camp!"

A group of generals respectfully received the order, and they didn't know what the result would be when they entered the palace this time, thinking of this, Yuangai Suwen groaned.

"If I don't come back......"

"Great commander, then the general will enter the city and ask to see the king!"

Yuangai Suwen groaned.

"Ben Shuai is afraid that there will be traitors who will slander and let the king wronged Ben Shuai, or if there is no news of Ben Shuai tomorrow, then you can go to the city!"

Now, his prestige in this army is one of his biggest bargaining chips, because the imperial court is now counting on this army and horses, how dare he ignore the reaction of the generals? Thinking of this, Yuangai Suwen finally had the confidence, as the envoy drove the horse into the city, in the palace, Gao Jianwu was waiting for Yuangai Suwen, and several important ministers in the court were also waiting for Yuangai Suwen, not only that, the shadows around the hall did not know how many guards were arranged, and the bravery of Yuangai Suwen was known to everyone in Goguryeo!

"King Qiqi, Yuangai Suwen has arrived!"

Gao Jianwu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Announce him in!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen walked into the hall with a sinking face, on the way into the city, he felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, after the people in the city recognized him, they were all whispering, although the palace was very calm, but he still noticed a trace of strangeness, the atmosphere in the palace was very solemn, there was a feeling of depression that made people breathless, especially the king's hall was a sense of solemnity, which was completely different from the atmosphere before he set out on the expedition, before the majesty here with wealth, today this pass is not good! However, if it is not good, it must be passed, otherwise once someone else leads the troops to repel the Tang army, the result will be death.

"Chen Yuan Gai Suwen see the king!"

Gao Jianwu got up and left the throne and said with a smile.

"General Yuan, hurry up and excuse me!"

Yuan Gai Su Wen said respectfully.

"The minister is guilty, the minister doesn't dare!"

Gao Jianwu restrained his smile and groaned.

"General Yuan led his troops to conquer Silla, although he failed to occupy Silla, but he won consecutive battles, and he also played the prestige of our Goguryeo, and he made great contributions to the court, so what is the crime?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen said respectfully.

"The conquest of Silla was a failure, the minister did not dare to take credit, the minister had assured the king that the Tang Dynasty would not send troops to interfere before the expedition, and now the Tang Dynasty not only sent troops, but also captured Liaodong, the minister was both frightened and angry after hearing about it, the minister was afraid because this was the minister's guilt, the minister was angry because Li Yong was so untrustworthy, and he broke his word and fat, and the minister did not expect that the minister regarded Li Yong as a close friend, and Li Yong disregarded the righteousness of his friend and used the minister, and the minister was guilty!"

"What does Aiqing mean that Li Yong took advantage of you? You don't know that Datang is going to send troops? ”

Gao Jianwu groaned, there was no joy in his heart, because no matter whether Yuan Gai Suwen was loyal or not, he would say this, Yuan Gai Su Wen said respectfully.

"The ministers have been loyal ministers of Goguryeo for generations, and the ministers' loyalty to the king can be seen by the sun and the moon, if the ministers know Li Yong's wolf ambitions, the ministers will definitely tell the king to guard against the Tang Dynasty, and how can they ask for an order to attack Silla?"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"However, Gu once sent Gao Zheng to the Tang Army camp as an envoy, and Gao Zheng replied to Gu and said that Li Yong specially excused you, which shows that Li Yong is also a righteous person!"

Fortunately, he knew about it, and Yuan Gai Suwen hurriedly said.

"Li Yong is insidious and cunning, how can he have the righteousness of a friend, he doesn't want to excuse me, he wants to frame me, and ask the king to learn from it!"

"He's trying to frame you? Really? ”

Gao Jianwu asked, and Yuan Gai Su Wen said.

"The king, Li Yong just wants to trap the minister in disloyalty and injustice, the minister has long no Li Yong this friend, since he knew the news of the Tang Dynasty's troops, the minister swore in his heart, and Li Yongen broke off righteousness, one day he will capture Li Yong alive, Li Yong will be cut with a thousand knives, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart, the minister implores the king to allow the minister to go with the army, the minister wants to slash Li Yong on the battlefield, and please ask the king for permission!"

Although Yuangai Suwen said it very sincerely, Gao Jianwu didn't dare to believe it completely, he muttered.

"Aiqing's expedition is very hard and tired, and now that he has just returned to the capital, how can he bear to let you run around in armor again? Love Qing and rest in the capital! ”

Yuan Gai Suwen's heart sank when he heard this, he knelt on one knee and asked in a deep voice.

"Does the king not believe in his ministers? Please don't fall for Li Yong's discord! ”

Gao Jianwu encouraged.

"Aiqing must not be too careful, Lone is convinced of Aiqing's loyalty, Lone can't bear to run around with Aiqing in armor again, otherwise wouldn't the subjects of the world talk about Lone, the king, who doesn't know how to sympathize with his courtiers? This time, Aiqing has made a great contribution to the conquest of Silla, and after repelling the Tang army, Lone will definitely reward Aiqing, and Aiqing will have a good rest in the capital, waiting for good news! ”

Speaking of which, Gao Jianwu was very disgusted with Yuangai Suwen in his heart, after all, this war was all because of Yuangai Suwen, he had the heart to kill Yuangai Suwen with a knife, but he couldn't kill it, the battle of Silla brought great benefits to Yuangai Suwen, and established great prestige among the soldiers of the three armies, so he didn't dare to kill Yuangai Suwen, for fear of making the soldiers centrifuge, of course, he still had a thought in his heart, what if Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's battle was unfavorable? At that time, he can only use Yuangai Suwen, after all, he only doubts Yuangai Suwen's loyalty, not Yuangai Suwen's ability, so Gao Jianwu can't kill Yuangai Suwen, and he can't even reduce his guilt, he can only temporarily stabilize Yuangai Suwen, Yuangai Suwen was extremely unwilling in his heart, kowtowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister was deceived by Li Yong, and he has a common hatred for the sky, please allow the minister to be a pawn, and the minister must slash Li Yong in front of the battle to prove the innocence of the minister."

Gao Jianwu stepped forward and personally helped Yuan Gai Suwen up, and said seriously.

"General Yuan, I believe in your loyalty, why do you need to prove your innocence? It's just that I can't bear to let you run around anymore, so Aiqing will recuperate in the palace! Gu has already ordered someone to clean up the room, Aiqing can rest assured, come on, take General Yuan to rest! ”

Recuperating in the palace? Where is this recuperation, this is simply house arrest, is to put him under house arrest in the palace, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but sink his heart when he heard it, if he was under house arrest in the palace, it would be equivalent to cutting off his contact with the outside world, and he could only resign himself to fate, it can be seen that the king is still suspicious of him, and even a little resentful of him, if the army repels the Tang army, then waiting for him must be the queen of the autumn to settle accounts, and follow the inner servant on the road in the palace, although Yuan Gai Suwen has a calm face, but his heart is not full of waves, there is only one inner servant leading the way, It seems that the king is not wary of him at all, but Yuangai Suwen knows that this palace has already been heavily guarded, even if he is conceited and brave, it is impossible to rush out, besides, even if he can rush out? Rushing out he is a rebel thief, although he is very prestigious among the soldiers, but it is impossible for the soldiers of the three armies to rebel with him, although he has prestige but not to that point, and now the time is not right, now he can only hope for the generals, hoping that they can write together, now the situation is in crisis, maybe the king and the ministers will be forced to reluctantly agree to the generals' request, if the generals fail to change the king's decision, then he can only hope that the army will lose, because only in this way can he have the opportunity to lead the army, There is a glimmer of life. In the camp, a group of generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army to wait for Yuangai Suwen to return to the camp.

"Why hasn't the big guy come back yet?"

Waiting is a very anxious thing.

"Maybe the handsome man is drinking imperial wine and eating imperial banquets in the palace now! This time, our army conquered Silla, conquered everything, was invincible, and almost destroyed Goguryeo, and the great commander contributed the most! ”

"That's right, the big marshal has a meritorious service, how can the king not be able to do anything to the big handsome, right?"

"I'm afraid that the king doesn't believe in the handsome!"

"We're just speculating here, and we'll know if we wait a minute, if tomorrow and the big man hasn't come back, then let's go into the city together to see the king!"

Just when everyone was talking about it because they were anxious about waiting, a soldier hurriedly came in.

"Enlighten the generals, the king's envoys have arrived at the camp!"

didn't wait for the marshal, but waited for the king's envoys? Since it was the king's envoy who arrived, it was natural to greet him, and the generals immediately prepared to greet him, but as soon as he walked out of the big tent, he saw a group of people entering the camp, followed by many carriages, and the two people were riding high-headed horses, it was the general of the court, Gao Yanshou in the north and Gao Huizhen in the south, and the generals in the army naturally knew these two generals in the court.

"I've seen two generals!"

The generals hurriedly saluted, although they were very disdainful of Gao Yanshou's loss of Liaodong, but after all, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were both dignitaries in the court.

"The generals don't need to be polite, we have come to reward the soldiers of the three armies by the king's will, and the king said, although you have not been able to capture Silla, but you have won consecutive battles and raised the prestige of our country, which is also a great achievement! That's why I was specially ordered to come with General Gao to reward the soldiers! ”

Gao Yanshou said with a smile on his face.

"The last general, may I ask the two generals, our marshal doesn't know where he is now?"

A general asked.

"Oh, General Yuan? General Yuan is a great hero, and the king is rewarding General Yuan in the palace! ”

Gao Huizhen said with a smile, the generals were relieved a lot after hearing this, since the king sent someone to reward the soldiers of the three armies, it was normal to reward the marshal in the palace.

"The last general will wait to thank the king!"

"The generals are polite, the two of us came by the king's order, one is to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and the other is to bring the king's will!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen turned over and dismounted together, and took out the king's decree, presumably the will of the reward, and the generals were a little excited in their hearts, and they all bowed down deeply.

"The last general will welcome the king's decree!"

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen unfolded the king's decree together, and then read the will in a suppressed and frustrated manner, at first, the generals were quite happy to listen, because the king praised the soldiers who went out in his will, but he was stunned when he listened, because the king actually appointed Gao Yanshou as the commander of the three armies, and Gao Huizhen as the deputy marshal of the three armies, no, the marshal should be Yuangai Suwen! After the will was recited, there was silence all around, and the generals looked at each other, Gao Yanshou put away the will, looked at everyone and said lightly.

"What? Why don't you take it? ”

"Two generals, the commander of the army is General Yuan, how can he suddenly become handsome? I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”

A general asked boldly, and Gao Yanshou said with a smile.

"It is a common thing for the army to be handsome, General Yuan worked hard to conquer Silla, and the king couldn't bear to let General Yuan run around again, so he specially let Ben Shuai and General Gao take over the three armies together, General Gao is familiar with the art of war, both civil and military, and Ben Shuai knows the Tang Army very well, so the king appointed the two of us."

"Two generals, our marshal led the army to attack Silla, and he had great prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and the officers and men of the three armies were all respectful, and they were about to fight to the death with the marshal and the Tang army. Please also ask the two generals to report to the king truthfully! ”

Some generals said boldly.

"If you are obedient to Yuangai Suwen, don't you respect the king? Is this the king's army, or the army of Yuangai Suwen, do you want to resist the decree? ”

Gao Huizhen shouted, resist the decree? The generals couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and hurriedly said.

"How dare the last general and others resist the decree? It's just that the last general and others have been under the command of General Yuan, cooperating with tacit understanding, and at this critical time, it is really not appropriate to change the commander, so the last general and others want to advise the king, which is also the loyalty of the last general and others! ”
