Chapter 297: With a Heavy Load, Sin Deserves Ten Thousand Deaths!
Early the next morning, Goren and the leader of the guards, each with two big black circles under their eyes, began to set off for Goguryeo with the rest of the guards.
Different from the curiosity and apprehension when they came, these guards who came to Dawei for the first time and had seen the prosperity of Yecheng became silent at this moment.
Gao Ren only explained to the head of the guard that Great Wei refused to make peace with Goguryeo, as well as the matter of paying tribute to his vassals, and the head of the guard was not in the mood to explain it to his guards.
However, these guards could not see the joy of Heqin's success from the expressions and faces of Gao Ren and the leader of the guards, and they returned to Goguryeo the next day after coming to Yecheng, as long as they were not fools, they knew that this was a failure of Heqin.
As a result, the entire contingent of Goguryeo envoys looked lifeless from top to bottom.
The envoy team of Goguryeo returned to the border of Youzhou as unimpeded as when they came to Yecheng, and this time Cheng Yu did not have time to see Gao Ren at all, so he directly asked Jiang Wei and Deng Ai to go to the envoy team responsible for putting Goguryeo back to Goguryeo.
"Thank you!"
Before the border between Great Wei and Goguryeo, Gao Ren turned around and thanked Jiang Wei and Deng Ai who had sent him over.
"Let's go, don't send it!"
Jiang Wei said directly in a deep voice, Deng Ai looked at the lifeless Goguryeo envoy team on the side, and did not say a word.
Gao Ren didn't say anything more, turned around and took the guards behind him directly, and headed in the direction of Marudu City.
After sending off the Goguryeo envoy team led by Gao Ren, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, who had a serious face, suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them knew on their knees that Goguryeo had nothing else that could arouse Cao Cao's interest except to impress Cao Cao, the king of Wei, with all its land and people.
Now less than four months before the spring ploughing, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai were already imagining what it would be like when they led the Great Wei infantry to conquer one Goguryeo city after another.
There may also be a possibility, that is, Goguryeo knew that it was powerless to resist the Great Wei, and directly surrendered the city.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai's imagination was not mentioned for the time being, and Gao Ren and his party finally returned to Marudu City.
On the tower of the city of Marudu, the general Zhao Chi has come to the tower of the city of Marudu every day to look at the Great Wei from the tower of the city of Marudu since the envoy team led by Gao Ren set off, and hopes that Gao Ren will have a smooth trip and bring back the good news of the success of the family as soon as possible.
The weather in Goguryeo was getting colder and colder, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, but Zhao Chi still came to stand on the tower for an hour every day, so that the soldiers guarding the city on the tower did not dare to be lazy at all.
The hard work paid off, and before the sun set on this day, Zhao Chi finally saw a team of people slowly walking out of the golden light of the sunset.
This group of men and horses was the team of Goguryeo envoys who had returned to Marudu City from Great Wei.
Zhao Chi watched Gao Ren and his entourage slowly come to the gate of Marudu City, walked down the city tower quickly, and went to greet Gao Ren's envoy team back to Marudu City.
"Mr. Gao, hard work!"
After Zhao Chi saw Gao Ren with a tired face, he didn't have the frame of a general, and Wen Yan said to Gao Ren.
Gao Ren didn't give Zhao Chi any good looks, and responded directly and lightly: "Thank you, General, Gao Ren now wants to report the results of this envoy to Great Wei with Lord Dongchuan Wang, so I won't say much to the general." ”
If this was put in normal times, it would be a courage to lend Gao Ren, and he would not dare to talk to Zhao Chi, the general who has come to this day step by step with his military exploits, and it is still under the condition that Zhao Chi takes the initiative to show goodwill.
But now it is different from the past, Goguryeo is destroyed in the hands of this money-greedy general Zhao Chi, it is really the great general Zhao Chi, and the defeated general Zhao Chi!
Zhao Chi saw Gao Ren's indifferent look, and his heart couldn't help but move.
This Gao Ren usually would never dare to use such an indifferent attitude to speak to himself, it seems that there is a problem with the envoy Dawei this time!
So Zhao Chi didn't attack Gao Ren because of his bad attitude, and then said to Gao Ren: "Mr. Gao cares about Goguryeo, and this general will meet the king of Dongchuan with Mr. Gao, please!" ”
After Zhao Chi finished speaking, he even made an exception to let Gao Ren walk in front of him.
Zhao Chi's move made the Goguryeo soldiers defending the city look sideways, but Gao Ren and the guards behind him all looked unimpressed.
Gao Ren and Zhao Chi soon came to the palace, and after receiving the news that Gao Ren had returned to Marudu City, the King of Dongchuan also hurried to the palace hall to wait for the news that Gao Ren had brought back from Great Wei.
After Gao Ren came to the palace hall, when he saw the king of Dongchuan, he knelt directly on the ground, and then said to the king of Dongchuan in a deep voice: "Minister Gao Ren, there is a great trust from the king!" Sin deserves death! Please, the king, punish the sin! ”
Gao Ren's kneeling came so suddenly, the 'Mr. Gao has worked hard' that King Dongchuan was about to exit was directly held back to his throat, and Zhao Chi, the general who followed behind Gao Ren, was also stunned by Gao Ren's kneeling.
Then the king of Dongchuan and the general Zhao Chi heard Gao Ren's sentence 'There is a heavy trust, and the crime deserves death!' The king of Dongchuan, who understood Gao Ren's meaning, only felt a surge of blood in his brain, and then his eyes were dark!
When the general Zhao Chi heard what Gao Ren said, he immediately looked at King Dongchuan, and directly King Dongchuan's face suddenly turned from white to red, then from red to blue, and then he rolled his eyes and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhao Chi was quick and strode forward to support the Dongchuan King who was about to fall.
Zhao Chi, who supported the king of Dongchuan, only then did a large cold sweat break out on his back, and it was just a failure to negotiate peace with Dawei, and he couldn't fight to the death.
If the king of Dongchuan died violently at this time, then the entire Goguryeo would be self-defeating.
After Gao Ren finished speaking, he knelt down in the main hall for a long time, waiting for the king of Dongchuan to drop himself, but who knew that he hadn't heard the king of Dongchuan speak for a long time, so Zhao Chi couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, and saw the general Zhao Chi supporting the unconscious king of Dongchuan.
"The Great General......
"Shut up! Call the doctor! ”
Zhao Chi was awakened by Gao Ren's voice, and then remembered that it was imperative to quickly call the doctor to come over to treat King Dongchuan, so he ordered him loudly without waiting for Gao Ren to finish speaking.
Gao Ren also knew at this time that he had made King Dongchuan unconscious as soon as he came up, and he didn't dare to imagine the result of King Dongchuan's violent death on the spot, so he hurriedly ran out of the hall to find the doctor.
It wasn't until the bright moon hung high that the king of Dongchuan, who was over fifty years old, slowly woke up from the bed under the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have finally woken up! Woowoo woo ......"
The queen of Dongchuan, who was also over fifty years old, couldn't help but cry with joy when she saw King Dongchuan wake up.
The generals Zhao Chi and Gao Ren on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to check on the situation of King Dongchuan at this time, and then the doctor carefully checked the pulse of King Dongchuan.
"The king is mood changed suddenly, causing his qi and blood to attack his heart and lead to a coma, now the king's qi and blood are running without hindrance, as long as the king pays attention to rest and calm his mood, he will not leave any troubles."
After the old doctor finished treating the pulse of King Dongchuan, he whispered to the queen, Zhao Chi and Gao Ren, and then got up and left King Dongchuan's bedroom.
After the king of Dongchuan woke up, he raised his hand with difficulty and motioned for Gao Ren to come close to him, as if he had something to ask Gao Ren.
