Chapter 470: Obligations of the vassal state

"The two envoys please, since we have already expressed our attitude, then we are still a family, now please listen to the order, immediately write a letter, let the general of your army come over, this king will assign combat tasks, and you will also carry out the obligations of my Tang vassal state."

After listening to Li Xiang's words, the two also knelt down and kowtowed, they also knew that it was impossible to leave this time, Li Xiang had no intention of letting them leave, since the two of you dared to enter the military camp of Datang, then you should be prepared for this.

Before the two came, some of their subordinates had said that if Li Xiang detained them, then where should the army go? So I don't want the two of them to enter the Tang Army, but the two still think it's unlikely, the so-called two countries don't fight each other, how could Li Xiang do anything to them? Datang is the Celestial Empire, and it is the Celestial Empire that pays the most attention to rules.

But I didn't expect them to overturn in this regard, Li Xiang didn't talk so much about the rules, but came up to tell you about his rules, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is not just about signing an agreement, you have to fight with the Tang army during the war, and now you are pulling the army over, so it is normal for Li Xiang to treat them as cannon fodder.

"Why did Lord Gao hold me? Even if the two of us die here, we can't let our army become cannon fodder for Li Xiang. ”

In another tent, the two adults had already finished writing the letter, and Li Tan's heart was a little uncomfortable at this moment.

"I know that Lord Li has the idea of sacrificing his life for the country, and I am not the one who is afraid of death, but has Lord Li thought about it, if the two of us die here, will it do the whole country any good? Don't you know the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, once you give him an excuse, he is likely to kill him from north to south, and our two countries will fall into war in an instant, only tens of thousands of soldiers can be the opponent of Datang? ”

As a small country, no matter how they calculate, they can only survive in the cracks of big countries, and maybe it will be impossible to even be in the cracks in the future, the Tang army has already reached their north, and after Goguryeo is destroyed, they will have to count the days to live.

"But what's going on now, he has already issued an order to let the 60,000 soldiers of your two countries be the first army to attack the city, if we fight like this, how many of our 60,000 soldiers can survive?"

Master Li said very sadly, these two countries are small and weak, and the population is not very large, these 60,000 soldiers have accounted for a large proportion, if these more than 60,000 people die on the battlefield, Li Xiang only needs to send 20,000 or 30,000 troops to be able to pinch these two countries in his hands.

"When His Highness said the obligations of the vassal state, you and I have already lost, if we resist at that time, then the agreement between the two countries will be null and void, and we will not be able to avoid destruction, now these 60,000 people may be destroyed, but at least our country can survive, and then it depends on what His Highness thinks, we will definitely not be free in the future, but it is good if we can keep this life."

Master Gao can see very clearly, Li Xiang is a Yang, no matter how you answer, you must have a certain loss, but the difference in the size of the loss, now with the lives of 60,000 people in exchange for the continuation of the two countries, it is still very cost-effective.

And in the eyes of this tall man, 60,000 people attacked the capital of Goguryeo, and it is impossible for all of them to die here, but if it is an enemy of the Tang army, according to the standard of Goguryeo's casualties, it is very likely that more than half of these 60,000 people will not survive, and then our losses will be greater, even if the Tang army retreats, without these young adults in the country, is it still a country?

The capital of Goryeo

Gai Yuan Suwen stood on the city wall decadently, he thought that his strategy could renew Goguryeo's life, with the help of these two countries, at least Goguryeo could continue, even if it was to help these two countries defend the northern border, it would be a little useful, and Li Xiang would have to give these two countries a little face.

But I didn't expect that only two hours had passed, and the armies of the two countries had already begun to encircle the capital of Goguryeo from the south, which Gai Yuan Suwen didn't expect, in his mind, didn't you people come to help? Are you here to help Datang?

"Haven't you had a letter yet?"

Gai Yuan Suwen said a little anxiously, he thought that this was a strategy of the two countries, but if it was a strategy, you should send some letters, but so far I haven't seen anything, this is not a letter at all, it is obvious that the two countries are on the verge of defection.

"Prime Minister......"

The people under his command are already crying without tears, many people stay on the city wall, they don't know where their future is, especially when there are so many troops outside the city, the surrounding circle is full of Tang ballistas, this kind of thing they have seen on the battlefield, only two rounds of salvo fire, the city wall of Goguryeo is about to be broken.

"It's really heaven that I'm going to die, the king is right, I shouldn't be so conceited, and I still want to rely on the influence of these two countries, hold the capital of Goguryeo, and wait for the king to come back, now it seems that I am too naïve, order the people below to open the city gate, let's go together to meet the army of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to fight ......"

When Gai Yuan Suwen said these words, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, and they were afraid that this guy would resist to the end, once he resisted to the end, then how many of us people would still be alive.

Hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city wall were eyeing each other, as long as their general ordered the cannons, then the capital of Goguryeo would instantly become a ruin, and the entire army and people in the city would have to die.

There is black smoke everywhere inside the city wall, since the Tang Dynasty army began to surround it, the whole city has been in chaos, and many people feel that it is a death, so they began to rob houses and houses, in order to cover up their own mistakes, rob one by one.

At first, it was able to suppress it, but later even the official army joined in this kind of robbery, and only the common people of Goguryeo could suffer, so how can you expect to hold the city in this situation? When the battle is fierce, maybe the people in the city will help the Tang army......
