Changsun Chong was a little helpless. Who would be willing to act as a hawk's claws and kill people everywhere? Although he has no favorable impression of the Goguryeo people...
However, in order to achieve great success, I can only endure it.
After listening to Yuengaisuwen's words, Changsun Chong was not in a hurry to leave, because it seemed that Yuengaisuwen still had instructions...
Sure enough, Yuan Gaisu Wen paused, and his cold face showed a slight fluctuation. However, Changsun Chong could not tell whether it was frustration or regret. He only heard him say quietly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty discussed the peace earlier. Is there any feedback over there?”
Changsun Chongxin said that I also wanted to promote peace talks, but Fang Jun's hammering battle in Hexi made the valleys wet and the water flowed, which suddenly aroused His Majesty Li Er's anger. If Goguryeo cannot be overthrown with a devastating force, how can he suppress it? Can he beat Fang Jun’s Hexi victory?
It is impossible for an emperor to devote all his country's strength to a mighty eastern expedition. In the end, his military achievements and influence are not as good as those of his ministers.
For His Majesty Li Er, who is so happy about his success, that is absolutely unacceptable...
It's okay to negotiate a peace, but the Tang army must come to the city and completely surround Pingrang City. The city's destruction is just around the corner. Then Yuan Gaisuwen opens the city gate and goes deep into the Tang army's camp alone, kneeling in front of His Majesty Li Er. Only then can he ask for a peace. Stay alive...
But I couldn't say this, so I had to say: "My father also sent me a letter, saying that your Majesty has been convening the military generals to discuss the matter and weighed it repeatedly, but there has been no conclusion yet."
Although it was impossible to count on the unparalleled success of the agreement, but since Yeon Gaesumun asked about this matter, it was obvious that he had already adopted a pessimistic attitude towards this battle and believed that the defeat was certain, so he was thinking about how to retreat. road.
As long as Pingrang City falls and the Tang army completely overthrows Goguryeo, Changsun Chong's achievements will be confirmed, and he will definitely be pardoned by His Majesty Li Er and return to Chang'an...
Yeon Gaesumun was extremely scheming, and his expression only changed for a moment, and then returned to his usual cold and hard look, making it impossible to capture his thoughts at all.
There was no disappointment or frustration. Yeon Gaesumun nodded slightly and said: "I am writing to urge you... At present, there is a powerful enemy, and all forces in Pingrang City are ready to move. The peace of the past will no longer exist. You are my son-in-law, so A trustworthy confidant, you should safeguard my authority? If anyone dares to test the law and engage in conspiracy, you may as well kill him, I will support you at any time...Go and do the work."
"Here."
Changsun Chong bowed and saluted and exited the government hall.
When I walked to the door, I looked back. The light in the government hall was a little dim. Yeon Gaesumun's tall figure sat behind the desk and began to work on his official duties.
The government hall was empty, with three or two petty officials sneaking in and out, looking a little downcast...
After leaving the Da Moli Branch Mansion, Chang Sun Chong led his troops to the station of Anhe Palace outside the Seven Star Gate. He ordered an elite brigade and re-entered the city from the Seven Star Gate and headed straight for the Zong Mansion on the side of the palace.
Did he understand the meaning of Yeon Gaesomun's last words? Did he want him to stand unswervingly on Yeongaesomun's side? Kill those forces who wanted to challenge Yeongaesomun's authority? Maintain Pyeongjang Castle. To ensure stability, lest those people take the opportunity to jump up and down, causing panic and a sharp drop in morale.
Changsun Chong smiled, this was almost exactly what he wanted.
Now Yeon Gaesumun has realized the critical situation of the war, and even predicts that Goguryeo will be defeated. The reason why he still arranges defenses in Pingrang City for a decisive battle? It is just to add more chips to the final negotiation.
So under this kind of situation, no matter what he did, Yeon Gaesumun would hold his nose and admit it, and he would never dare to punish himself.
After all, he is the best intermediary between Yeon Gaesumun and Datang...
As long as he has a good reputation as a teacher and can find sufficient reasons afterwards, he can justify himself even if he causes a big mess? Then Yeon Gaesumun can only give up even if he is angry.
…
The yamen of the royal family of Goguryeo was the yamen that handled royal affairs. It had a high status and great power, so its yamen was separated by a wall from the palace and only a few hundred steps away from the main entrance of the palace.
Changsun Chong arrived at the gate of the clan with a brigade of elite soldiers, and ordered the front and rear doors to be blocked. Dozens of horses patrolled around the outer wall of the clan to guard against anyone taking advantage of the chaos to climb over the wall and escape.
With the arrangements in place, I finally gave the order and ordered my soldiers to break down the door and enter...
Ever since King Yeongryu wanted to cut off Yeongaesomun, but was killed by Yeongaesomun in the palace and installed King Bobo on the throne, the prestige of the Goguryeo royal family has completely fallen into the dust, and the people no longer have the respect they once had. Therefore, after receiving the order from Changsun Chong, even though the soldiers knew that this was the most important place in Goguryeo besides the royal palace, and that the ancestral temple in the Yamen enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the past kings, they did not hesitate to step forward and open the closed door.
"boom!"
The door was knocked open by several soldiers, and the "Zongfu" officials who came to check the situation behind the door were knocked to the ground like gourds. These people had no time to get up, so they kept shouting and cursing.
A young official walked over quickly. He was wearing very gorgeous robes and spoke in a high-spirited tone. He was obviously of noble status: "Who is coming? Do you know what kind of place this is? How dare you break in like this without fear of death?" What?"
Changsun Chong didn't even look at him, he just waved his hand casually and said loudly: "Zongbo Gao Jianwei has connections with foreign countries and betrayed the country's military aircraft. I have been ordered by Da Molizhi to arrest him and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to commit the crime will be treated as an accomplice." ! Come on, rush in!"
"Here!"
The wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers behind them stepped forward and pushed these "zongfu" officials aside, then rushed in like wolves and tigers.
All the "Zongfu" officials were shocked. They could not stop the soldiers, so they could only surround Changsun Chong and angrily shouted: "Thieves! How dare you frame Uncle Zong for such a crime?"
"You are nothing more than a Han traitor, sentenced to death by your own emperor, like a bereaved dog, how dare you show off your power in Goguryeo?"
"Your Excellency has a distinguished life, how can you be willing to be that treacherous eagle dog? I advise you to change your ways and do good, and we will forget the past!"
…
Several people pointed at Chang Sun Chong's nose and yelled. They were afraid of Yuan Gaesuwen, but not Fang Jun. They felt that they were members of the royal family. Now that the enemy was facing them, how could Yuan Gaesuwen punish them severely for a scoundrel? Will the royal family be able to rebound?
Therefore, the scolding was very enjoyable, and he could express all the curse words that he had accumulated in his heart but dared not say in front of Yeon Gaesumun, and it was very hearty.
Changsun Chong naturally cannot match the ambitions of these people, and thinks that he is just some dead bones in the grave. After this battle, if Yuan Gaisu wins, his prestige will naturally skyrocket and he will usurp the throne, and all the royal family will be killed by him, clearing away all the stumbling blocks; if Yuan Gaisuwen was defeated, and the royal family under the Treasure King must be slaughtered before the city was broken, so as to prevent the descendants of the Yuan family from being retaliated.
After all, these people don't have a few days to live, so why bother?
He had a good attitude, but the soldiers around him looked at him angrily. These people were all brought by Changsun Chong from Chang'an, and they were the most trusted confidants. How could they ignore Changsun Chong's humiliation? A few even put their hands on the handles of the swords on their waists. When Chang Sun Chong gave the order, they drew their swords and killed all those who insulted Lang Jun.
…
In a flower hall of the Zong Mansion, Gao Jianwei, the "Uncle Zong" who had just provoked Yuan Gaisuwen in the Great Moli Branch Mansion, was sitting across from a young man with a dark face, a big waist and a majestic air.
A steaming pot of tea was picked up by Gao Jianwei and poured into the teacups in front of them. He then raised his hand to signal the young man to drink tea, and he also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After putting down the teacup, he sighed and said: "The Yuan bandits are so powerful that we can only make noise so that the dignitaries in Pingrang City can realize that following the Yuan bandits will only lead to death. Only in this way can they turn their allegiance to the king and fight with Yuan The thieves must fight against each other. Otherwise, the day when the city is destroyed will not only be the death of the king, but also the day when all our royal family will be slaughtered. The prince can report to the king when he returns, and the ministers will work hard to deal with it. No matter how hard they are, they will not dare to slack off at all. They are just planning things. Everything depends on heaven, but I dare not say any firm words, lest I harm the king."
The heroic young man was Gao Renwu, the second son of the Treasure King. Hearing this, he expressed admiration and said with emotion: "The Yuan thieves manipulated power and disrupted the government. They are the sinners of Goguryeo through the ages! My uncle was able to stand up despite his power. , My father and I both admire and will never forget it! It’s just that my uncle needs to be careful. The Yuan thieves are tyrannical and kill courtiers at every turn. If he gets angry out of humiliation and becomes unfavorable to my uncle, it will definitely be in danger!"
No one dared to publicly declare in the government office that Yeon Gaesomun should "return power" to the King of Goguryeo for so many years.
The last one was King Rongliu...
