Chapter 439: Had to Cooperate
Goguryeo Capital City
Standing on the walls of the capital, you can smell a smell of blood, a month ago, under the walls of the capital, the king entangled 3,000 dead soldiers, ready to kill the prime minister's party directly, who knew that the prime minister also ambushed more than 2,000 people in his own mansion, and more than 5,000 people started to fight under the city, and in the end, no one could help anyone, so they could only continue to stalemate.
The people of the capital have already endured to the limit, and now that the food is about to run out, you don't want to get us some food, but just think about how to get the supreme command, many people have begun to make trouble, and the security on the streets is getting worse and worse, but because there are more troops in the capital, it is still impossible for the people to make trouble.
Now the king is in the palace, the prime minister is in the prime minister's mansion, even if it has been determined that the Tang army has set off, but the two have no way to meet, the king cannot go to the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister is afraid that the king will kill him, so he will not go to the palace, the two of them each hold a part of the forces, if they do not discuss countermeasures, it is estimated that the Tang army will be killed in the capital.
Today, it can be regarded as some centrist officials doing business, and it can be regarded as a good agreement for both of them, but the location of the discussion is difficult for many people to accept, that is, on the gate tower of the capital city of Goguryeo.
Inside the city is the king's 3,000 ironclad army, and outside the city is the prime minister's 5,000 cavalry, which is considered the strongest army in the hands of both sides, why did they choose to talk on the city gate building? It is because the armies inside and outside this place can be seen, and if anyone comes up with a moth, then the armies of both sides can come to the rescue immediately.
Although making a big joke may make others laugh, in order to save their lives, whether it is the king or the prime minister, they all agree to this strategy.
Mainly because the Tang army is about to be killed, we must also stop the current fighting, if we resist the Tang Dynasty at present, it is already impossible to win, if we continue to make trouble, simply give the whole country away.
"Meet the King."
Goguryeo Prime Minister Gai Yuan Suwen saluted first, although he said so, but the whole person did not take any action, and from the eyes of the eyes, there was no respect.
"Bold ......"
The eunuchs around the king of Goguryeo relied on the favor of the king, and they can usually be said to be lawless, but now when they see that the prime minister is not kneeling, they are immediately accustomed to saying a word, but when he finished saying this, the people around him stared at him viciously, and the prime minister did not salute the king It was not this day or two, do you have to find trouble at this critical time?
"Don't be rude, retreat."
The king of Goguryeo said in a low voice, there is nothing to interfere with this negotiation now, according to the news sent back by Xizuo for the last time, the Tang army will arrive at the border in a month at most, if we don't have a charter, then there is no need to discuss.
Before the talks, the subordinates on both sides had already said that they would try their best to facilitate this negotiation, and if they couldn't negotiate today, then they would continue to talk tomorrow, in short, there must be a decision in the next few days, this is also Goguryeo's last chance, how can it be pulled down because of a eunuch?
Goguryeo Prime Minister Gai Yuan Suwen sneered, he had never looked down on these eunuchs in the palace.
"The king brought the old minister here today, it should be because of the matter of the Tang Dynasty, the obvious situation, the old minister has also analyzed, if we want to resist, I am afraid it is not very possible, we resist the three border cities of the Tang Dynasty and the city wall of its contact, most of them have been damaged at present, and there has been no repair since the last war, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the Tang army."
Gai Yuan Suwen is a doer, he came up to tell the actual things, on the border between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, they built a total of three border cities, these three border cities are very majestic, and they are also the first line to resist the Tang army.
The last time Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, the walls of the three border cities suffered serious damage, and it was said that they should be repaired immediately after the end of the war, but because the Goguryeo treasury was empty, there was no money at all, although it was rich in the past two years, but because of the struggle between the king and the prime minister, both sides wanted to let their people do this, so it was delayed, and now even if you want to repair, I am afraid that it will be too late.
Several ministers under the king want to stand up and speak, all because of the prime minister's obstruction, if you haven't stopped it in the past few years, how can we not build the city wall, and now you say that this kind of useless words, do we all have to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?
It's a pity that the king of Goguryeo has a look, these people immediately knelt in place and said nothing, we are not here to quarrel today, let alone to hold anyone responsible, although the king of Goguryeo is young, but he also understands a truth, if there is a quarrel today, then Goguryeo will surely perish.
"The prime minister has been in charge of our country for more than ten years, and he has made a lot of contributions to my Goguryeo, and he also knows my Goguryeo best.
What everyone didn't expect was that the king of Goguryeo did not hold Gai Yuan Suwen responsible, but instead said such a thing, which made them a little confused, is it right for the prime minister to do something wrong?
The prime minister was also a little puzzled, he didn't understand what this little king thought, originally Gaiyuan Suwen really wanted to be all fat, but later found that there were too many stubborn forces within Goguryeo, especially those who were in-laws with the royal family, they would never allow themselves to replace him, so he was ready to be a powerful minister.
But one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, even if you think that you have taken a step back, the king was born to rule this country, how can he let his subordinates have you as a person, so there is also tension between the two sides, the king of Goguryeo spoke in such a gentle tone, in Gai Yuan Suwen's memory, this is the first time.
"My Goguryeo is a country protected by the gods, in the previous expeditions, we have been preserved, this time the minister thinks it is okay, but our country is too weak now, we need a certain living space, and we need some time to recuperate, so this time the minister thinks that we should admit defeat first."
To everyone's surprise, Gai Yuan Suwen actually wanted to admit defeat first, and now that the war has not yet begun, what is the matter with you admitting defeat first?
