Whether he can defeat the Tang Army or not, this is what Gao Jianwu is most concerned about! So when he asked this, Gao Jianwu stared nervously at Yuangai Suwen, and Yuangai Suwen nodded slowly but firmly.

"After all, the Tang army only has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there is nothing to be afraid of, artillery and muskets are indeed powerful, but each has its own flaws, and the minister will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army!"

Gao Jianwu was relieved when he heard this, and said loudly.

"Okay, although Aiqing lets go of the battle, when the Tang army is repulsed, Lone will definitely be rewarded, even if it is to tear the earth and seal the king!"

Yuan Gai Suwen bowed and said.

"The minister is willing to make a military order, if he can't defeat the Tang army, the minister will come to see him!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then Gu will hand over the royal capital and the life and death of the entire Goguryeo to Aiqing!"

After Gao Jianwu left, Yuan Gai Suwen did not leave immediately, but sat down slowly, his eyes were very calm and clear, where was the appearance of the person who was grateful for the death of his confidant just now? The king came in person, looking like a corporal of Lixian, and he was entrusted, and he was rewarded, and he was the king of the king, but he knew that it was all nonsense, if the army was not defeated, but won a complete victory, then would the king still be a corporal of Lixian today? No, they will only humiliate him as much as they want, count his guilt, and then put him to death! What's the reward? What is the king of ripping? After he defeats the Tang army, the king will definitely want to kill him and hurry up! Because the merit is high! Because the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks!

"Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"

Yuangai Suwen muttered, and the news of Yuangai Suwen taking command spread quickly, and those who knew the news were inexplicably relieved. In the past year, the attitude of the people of the royal capital towards Yuangai Suwen has changed several times, from the initial pursuit of pride to spitting insults, and now they feel that only Yuangai Suwen has the ability to turn the tide, although this crisis may be because of Yuangai Suwen, but Yuangai Suwen's ability is undoubted. In the deep palace, Gao Jianwu sat there silently, and the attendant whispered the news of the market heard by the guards.

"The people have Yuangai Suwen in charge, and Goguryeo is saved! Even the officials of the DPRK and China said the same, and many people said, "......"

Gao Jianwu's voice was low.

"Go on!"

"There are still many people who say that the king should have let Yuangai Suwen take command a long time ago, then the Tang army would have been defeated a long time ago, and the king would not have to go through the crisis.

Gao Jianwu listened to the twitching corners of his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

"What about Yuangai Suwen? What are you doing? ”

Gao Jianwu asked in a deep voice.

"General Yuan is inspecting the city defense, inspecting the ordnance, and going to the military department to check the transfer of troops."

The chamberlain said respectfully, Gao Jianwu was silent when he heard it, looked at the recital on the Wang case, and said in a deep voice.

"That's all right!"

The chamberlain was surprised when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, these officials are all ......"

Gao Jianwu glared at the waiter and said in a deep voice.

"He can kill whoever he wants, and he can promote whoever he wants, as long as he can defeat the Tang Army, let him toss!"

An attendant walked in and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the eldest brother asks to see the king!"

"Announce him in!"

Gao Jianwu said lightly, and the eldest brother Song Jing walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Greetings to the king!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Song Aiqing has something to play?"

The eldest brother Song Jing looked around and looked like he wanted to say something, and Gao Jianwu waved his hand slightly.

"They can all be trusted, Aiqing has nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

The eldest brother Song Jing groaned.

"Please forgive the ministers for their courage, I want to ask the king, do you think Yuangai Suwen will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army?"

The attendants next to them couldn't help but hang their heads when they heard this, and the two trembled, because the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very depressing, this is a boulder, pressing on everyone's hearts, yes! Will Yuangai Suwen definitely defeat the Tang army? Although Yuangai Suwen made a military order, why didn't Gao Yanshou swear an oath when he was ordered? Therefore, Gao Jianwu had no answer in his heart, he stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Lone can only believe in Yuangai Suwen, and believe that he will definitely be able to defeat the Tang Army!"

The eldest brother Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"The ancients said well, think about defeat before winning, the king has thought about it, what if Yuangai Suwen is also defeated?"

Gao Jianwu frowned when he heard this.

"What does Song Aiqing want to say?"

Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"It is an indisputable fact that Yuangai Suwen and Li Yong are friends, even if he is still loyal to the king, but if this battle is lost, Goguryeo will die, Yuangai Suwen can still be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and even officials in the court can be officials of the Tang Dynasty, but what about you, the king?"

Gao Jianwu's face became more and more gloomy when he heard this, and he had to say that what Song Jing said was indeed reasonable, even if Goguryeo died, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could serve the Tang Dynasty and be an official of the Tang Dynasty, only he, the king, would become a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty, and even be given a glass of poisoned wine, Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Does Song Aiqing also want to return to Datang? Song Aiqing is the eldest brother of my dynasty, and he is one of the few important ministers in the court, and he must be able to get a lot of official positions in Datang! ”

Song Jing bowed and said.

"If the minister really had this heart, he wouldn't have said these words, because the minister didn't want to be Tang Chen, so he dared to come!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Then what does Aiqing want to say?"

Song Jing said slowly.

"Summation!"

Gao Jianwu frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Summation?"

Song Jing said slowly.

"Yes, cede Liaodong to seek peace!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Liaodong is the gateway of our Goguryeo, if we lose the barrier of Liaodong, then our Goguryeo can only let the Tang army enter and exit in the future, and we may lose the country at any time!"

Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, ceding Liaodong is only an expedient measure!"

Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"First, the peace can delay time, once it enters the winter, how can the Tang army suffer from the severe cold? Heavy snow closed the road, and the Tang army had difficulty supplying. Second, even if the Tang Dynasty withdraws its troops and occupies Liaodong, so what? The Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, with Tibet in the west, Turks in the north, and Xue Yantuo, Tiele and other ethnic groups eyeing each other, maybe when war will break out, and it will not be easy to recover Liaodong at that time? Why do you have to fight such an uncertain battle? If the war is defeated, the Tang Dynasty will no longer be afraid, and it will inevitably annex our Goguryeo, and we can't afford to lose! It's not that the minister is timid and afraid of death, but the minister's sincere heart is all for the king, for the sake of Goguryeo, and I hope the king will think twice! ”

Gao Jianwu struggled very much when he heard this, and he had to admit that what Song Jing said was also very reasonable.

"Aiqing's thoughts and worries are not unreasonable, Aiqing can speak out fairly, Lone is very pleased, but the matter is big, Lone has to think twice!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice. The Tang army continued to march from the city of black bones, whether it was the soldiers defending the city or the ordinary people, all of them were terrified, and sometimes the bloody generals wanted to defend the city to the death, but the soldiers below were already frightened, and they had no morale to hold on to it, and they collapsed when they heard the sound of the cannons, these cities have been abandoned, and the army was not even a war all the way, it was just marching, approaching the city of Pyongyang, the capital of the king of Goguryeo, and now the soldiers in the army no longer have any doubts about the capture of the king of Goguryeo, if they can't capture the capital of Goguryeo, I didn't have the face to go back, even the people of the Silla mission were already desperate, so they fought here, and they were invincible and invincible along the way, and no one believed that they couldn't defeat the king of Goguryeo! Before reaching the capital of Goguryeo, it first ushered in the envoys of Goguryeo.

"The foreign minister is Song Jing, the eldest brother of Goguryeo, to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Song Jinggong said, big brother? The official name of Goguryeo is really strange, Li Yong couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he also knew that the eldest brother was definitely one of the few important ministers in Goguryeo, and the dignified eldest brother came to be an envoy, so it can be seen that Goguryeo is really panicked, too, they are all about to hit the royal capital of Goguryeo, can the Goguryeo people not panic? Li Erfeng asked lightly.

"Big brother Goguryeo? Did Gao Jianwu ask you to come? Whoever came to sum, right? ”

Song Jinggong said.

"The foreign ministers are here for the friendship between the two countries, and for hundreds of years, Liaodong has always been restless, whether it is the people of Goguryeo or the Central Plains, all of them are very bitter! Why can't the two countries live in harmony? My king is willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, be obedient for generations, and live in harmony, and there will be no war in Liaodong from now on, and the world is very fortunate! ”

Li Er smiled faintly.

"A certain leader of the Eastern Crusade, on the one hand, wants to rescue Silla, and on the other hand, he wants to make Liaodong no longer war!"

Although both of them said that they wanted Liaodong to have no war, they were two completely different things, and the generals all nodded when they heard it, as long as Goguryeo was destroyed, there would naturally be no war in Liaodong, and the eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Isn't Lord Song too conceited, our army is invincible, and we have already killed here, does Lord Song think that with his three-inch tongue, he can let us retreat?"

Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"Our king is determined to cede Liaodong, Goguryeo has been a subject of the Tang Dynasty for generations, and Liaodong is our barrier and gateway to Goguryeo, which shows the sincerity of our king, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to think of the people in the world!"

Li Erguan said.

"Do you still need to cede it? Liaodong has already been in the bag of a certain thing! Obviously able to occupy the whole of Goguryeo, why did you give up and only take Liaodong? ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, throw away the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, only a fool will do it! Song Jingzheng said.

"Does His Majesty the Emperor think that he will definitely be able to capture the royal capital? Will you be able to defeat our Goguryeo? ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed when he heard it.

"What, Gao Jianwu still hasn't given up? Are there still fantasies? Or is there some secret weapon? ”

Song Jing said in a deep voice.

"We still have hundreds of thousands of troops in Goguryeo, and Pyongyang City is a heroic city, even if you have artillery, you can't break Pyongyang City! Moreover, the midsummer has passed, the weather will soon turn cold, and the cold winter is coming, does His Majesty the Emperor know how cold it is here? Does His Majesty the Emperor know how cold it is in Liaodong? The lone army is deep, the snow is closed, the hunger and cold are pressing, and when the time comes, the army will collapse without attacking! His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be reconciled, from now on, the war will not stop, the grievances will not be eliminated, the blood will be shed, the bones will be piled up, and the people will be so innocent! ”

"Bitter cold?"

Li Er said with a smile, and Song Jing said seriously.

"Yes, the cold is severe, the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui ended in failure, of course, there are reasons why our sons and daughters of Goguryeo swear to resist to the death, and a large part of the reason is the severe cold, "The Art of War" has clouds, the time and place are favorable, whether His Majesty the Emperor or the generals are proficient in the art of war, they naturally understand the importance of the time!"

The time of day is indeed very important, especially the severe cold of Goguryeo, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the soldiers of the Central Plains to adapt. Li Er and they also understand that at the beginning of the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui, I don't know how many people were frostbitten and even froze to death, but whether it was Li Er or Cheng Yanjin, their expressions were very relaxed, even if they soon conquered Pyongyang City, and then pacified all over the country and returned to the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely experience a cold winter in Goguryeo, so what? The soldiers are all wearing cotton clothes! Yu Chigong sneered.

"How can we Tang men be afraid of a little cold? What a joke! ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"That's it, that's it, I'm still afraid of the cold, you Goguryeo men are afraid that it's not a lack of yang energy, right?"

Song Jing was speechless when he heard it, a little cold? You are afraid that you don't know anything about the cold in Liaodong, so you can lick the iron and try it! Song Jingzheng said.

"The cold in Liaodong is definitely beyond your imagination! At the beginning, the king sent troops to attack Silla, on the one hand, because the grievances between our Goguryeo and Silla were too deep, and on the other hand, because they were instigated by someone with a heart, our king also regretted it, in order to apologize, we are willing to offer treasures to His Majesty the Emperor, and to His Majesty the Emperor to present ten of our most beautiful beauties in Goguryeo. ”

Li Er's face was very calm when he heard this, treasure? Goguryeo, a bitter cold place where birds don't, what else can you do besides Korean ginseng? As for the beauty? Li Er is even more disdainful, even fairies are not as good as Guanyin! The eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Biting Jin are not afraid that the emperor will be tempted when they hear it, what treasures can Goguryeo have? As for the beauties, the love between the emperor and the empress is rare in ancient and modern times, so what Goguryeo beauties would the emperor be tempted to blame? Besides, what treasures and what beauties, when Goguryeo is defeated, won't they all be caught? Do you still need Gao Jianwu to send it? Therefore, it is impossible to negotiate peace, it has been fought to this extent, who dares to say peace talks, will be beaten, compared to others to send, a certain still likes to take it himself, Li Ergang wanted to say this, but he didn't expect Li Yong to speak.

"Want to make peace? It's not impossible! ”

Li Yong said leisurely, Song Jing listened to the ecstasy in his heart, just now he had discovered that neither the Tang Emperor nor these generals had any intention of peace talks, and even the cold was not afraid at all, he thought that this trip had failed, but he didn't expect that someone was in favor of peace talks, and he could interject in the imperial tent, thinking that his status must not be low, and it was also when the emperor and a number of famous generals did not have the intention of peace talks, it can be seen that this person's status is definitely not ordinary, Song Jing, who was ecstatic in his heart, immediately turned his head to look at the person who spoke up, Then he was surprised to find that this person looked so young!
