Chapter 1347: For Their Sake, I Can Only Let You Live
Liu Zhao didn't speak, just quietly watched Gao Jianwu laugh endlessly.
It wasn't until Gao Jianwu completely calmed down that he looked at Liu Zhao who was standing there, this almost the entire Goguryeo knew that he was the dead soldier of Yuangai Suwen and the biggest dogleg of Yuangai Suwen.
But now, the person who Yuan Gai Suwen believes in the most wants to stab him at the most critical time, how can Gao Jianwu be unhappy?
Gao Jianwu is not an ambitious person, but as a king of shoucheng, he did okay, at least if it were not for the persecution of Yuangai Suwen, Goguryeo would not be like this, facing a desperate situation.
But in any case, it is too late to say this, and now the whole of Goguryeo is left with Pyongyang, and when Pyongyang is left, it means that Goguryeo has perished.
Datang can completely ignore the rest, surround the entire city for half a year, and everything will end naturally.
But Gao Jianwu doesn't want to die, people who are over middle age are always afraid of death, not only Gao Jianwu, everyone in this hall doesn't want to die.
People are afraid of death, the difference is that some people can give their lives for their beliefs and ideals, but some people cannot.
And the people in this room are obviously not the former, and if they had faith and ideals, Goguryeo would not be what it is today.
"So, are you on the side of Datang?" Gao Jianwu looked at Liu Zhao deeply and asked.
"No, I'm not on the side of Datang, I'm not on your side, I'm on the side of the people of Goryeo." Liu Zhao sneered.
"All of you in this room, the corpses are vegetarian, in your life, your eyes have never seen how miserable the people of Goryeo are, you just want to maintain the interests of your own family."
"You only want your own personal interests to take precedence over the people, you only want to rule, but you forget that you may be able to sustain yourself when the world is the same. But when there is a better choice in the world, why are the people on your side? ”
"Your rights are given to you by the people, and without the support of the five million people of Goryeo, what are you? There are no servants, no guards, and if you are thrown into the mountains and forests, you will all starve to death. ”
"My family, and the families of these soldiers who are standing with me, they are just ordinary people, but where were you when they were bullied and couldn't survive?"
"So, I'm just helping them choose a better option? Otherwise, why do you think Datang won the first line of Liaodong and was able to rush here so quickly? If the people of Goguryeo had rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, they would still be struggling in Liaodong. ”
Liu Zhao looked at them coldly and said.
Gao Jianwu was silent for a moment, as the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu was also young, when he was young, he was always ambitious, and he once wanted to become the greatest king of Goguryeo.
But when he sat in this position and was ready to do something, he found that it was difficult, and then step by step to today, he gradually gave up all his ambitions.
Now Liu Zhao's words made him feel a lot.
"That's why you took this opportunity to kill Yuangai Suwen so that the generals of the whole city could surrender, right?" Gao Jianwu looked at Liu Zhao and asked.
"Actually, I want to kill you, kill all of you." Liu Zhao said with a sneer.
"But I can't, because without you, I'm not sure I can control all the troops in the city, and I can't let the war continue."
"Because war is about killing people, it doesn't matter if all of you die a thousand times, but if the war continues, the ordinary people in the city, the ordinary soldiers of Goryeo, they will die, and they may end up fighting for the interests of you people with their lives."
"I don't want them to die, so I can only let you go, compared to their lives, your lives are not worth a penny."
"So, now do you agree?" Liu Zhao looked at them coldly and asked.
Many ministers in the crowd were angry, if it was usual, they would have found a way to teach Liu Zhao a lesson, but who let their lives be in Liu Zhao's hands now?
"Okay, I agree!" Gao Jianwu took a deep breath and decisively agreed.
Because there is not only him here, but also his family, not to mention that he himself does not want to die? There is a sentence that Liu Zhao said very right, if he dies, these people around him may not be able to die, why?
Why should they die and let them live? So Gao Jianwu didn't care about their feelings, and directly made his own choice.
"Write the decree, write a few more." Liu Zhao spoke directly.
Since Gao Jianwu agreed, he did not hesitate, and under the care of Liu Zhao and the others, he decisively began to write the holy decree of abdication and surrender.
When the holy decree was written, looking at the Goguryeo jade seal in his hand, after a long time, Gao Jianwu gritted his teeth and directly buckled it.
Liu Zhao did not urge.
After Gao Jianwu wrote four letters, Liu Zhao took these holy decrees, as well as jade seals and other things that were counted as tokens, and when he left, he also took away a Tang knife belonging to Gao Jianwu, he knew that Yuangai Suwen had wanted this knife for a long time.
"Look at them, and forbid anyone to approach them, and they are not allowed to enter or leave. For whatever reason, eat and drink Lazar is here for me. When Liu Zhao left, he said to a brother who was guarding here.
"Yes!" The brother said with a serious face.
"Let's go, let's go see General Yuan." Liu Zhao spoke calmly.
The few people who followed Liu Zhao immediately nodded and followed.
When Liu Zhao rushed to the barracks where Yuangai Suwen was again, he was told that Yuangai Suwen had already gone to inspect the city wall.
Liu Zhao didn't stop, and went directly to the city wall.
It is true that they have not developed too many soldiers after they came back, but most of these soldiers they have developed are Yuangai Suwen's personal guards!
On the city tower, Yuangai Suwen saw Liu Zhao who came over, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"General, all the personnel have been taken, and they are all imprisoned here with Gao Jianwu." Liu Zhao bent down and saluted, and after speaking, he stood up directly, and then took off the Tang knife hanging from his waist, and at the same time held the handle and pulled it out.
"General, this is the ...... you've always wanted" Liu Zhao said as he pulled it out.
When Liu Zhao took this knife down, Yuan Gai Suwen recognized that this was the Tang knife he had always wanted.
Regarding Liu Zhao's action of drawing the knife, he didn't think so much about it for a while, he just thought that Liu Zhao wanted to show his merits.
