Quan Nannan and Quan Nanjian were brothers. The brothers rebelled against each other and the younger brother usurped the elder brother's throne. This was a civil strife in Goguryeo.
But the feud between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty existed objectively and existed for decades.
Over the decades, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty conducted many eastern expeditions. The casualties among the armies of both sides were astronomical. Their hatred became deeper and deeper, and both sides wanted to put the other party to death before giving up.
Therefore, no matter how much civil strife goes on in Goguryeo, whether it is under Quan Nan's command or Quan Nan's command, his attitude of hatred toward the Tang Dynasty will not change.
In order to save himself, Mr. Quan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. He is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty from now on and never rebel again.
But this was just Mr. Quan's personal opinion. Obviously, his decision to surrender to the Tang Dynasty was very unpopular among his subordinates.
It can be seen from Jin Zhenxuan's attitude towards Li Qinzai that the Goguryeo soldiers still held a hostile attitude towards the Tang Dynasty.
The two countries have been at war for many years, and the ancestors, fathers, and brothers of the soldiers on both sides may have died under the swords and halberds of the other side. This hatred cannot be resolved by the surrender of the king.
Li Qinzai suddenly felt a little regretful. He realized that he had underestimated the power of hatred and completely ignored the position of the Goguryeo soldiers when weighing whether to save Quan Boy or not.
So, the Tang army spent a long time and sacrificed blood, and finally rescued five thousand enemies?
What the hell is this!
Holding back his anger, Li Qinzai tried his best to put on a fake smile, ignored Jin Zhenxuan's rude attitude, looked at Mr. Quan and said: "Your army has been under siege for a long time. When you are ready to recuperate, you will camp with our army outside the city." , let’s march north together one day and join forces with the main force of the Tang Dynasty’s Eastern Expedition.”
Mr. Quan saluted hurriedly: "I would like to obey the order of General Li County."

After the war, it was usual to clean up the battlefield and clean up the aftermath.
Wang Fangyi reported the damage. In the battle of Cangyan City, the Tang army suffered more than a thousand casualties, while the enemy suffered more than 13,000 casualties. Only a few thousand people were defeated and fled. It was considered a great victory.
As for the gains from cleaning up the battlefield, they are not worth mentioning at all.
What spoils could the Goguryeo army, which was so poor and almost starving, have? Apart from the flags and weapons scattered all over the place, nothing much was gained.
Originally, the Tang army planned to plunder Cangyan City after entering it, but the civilians in the city were even worse. All the residential buildings were demolished, and the bricks, stones and wood used to build the houses were used as military supplies for the city defense.
Not only were the civilians in the city homeless, but even their food was confiscated by the army. The soldiers of the Tang Army were shocked when they entered the city, as if they had entered the headquarters of a beggar gang, and were almost ready to worship the gang leader.
This city is basically in a state of poverty and ruin.
The Tang army camped outside the city, and the camp of 5,000 Goguryeo troops was right next to the Tang army's camp.
There were five thousand enemies sleeping soundly beside the couch. Of course, Li Qinzai would not be careless. He had already secretly told Wang Fangyi to send troops to monitor the Goguryeo army day and night and be on strict alert.
Everyone has been rescued, what else can be done? Li Qinzai could not order these five thousand people to be chopped off for no reason.
In the commander's tent, Li Qinzai scratched his head irritably. In the battle to rescue Cangyan City, he always felt that he had been cheated. Not only did he not get any profit, but he was burdened by five thousand more.
While he was thinking about how to solve this trouble, Xue Ne's voice came from outside the handsome tent.
Li Qinzai walked out of the handsome tent and was shocked to find a row of women standing in front of him, about ten or so women, strung together with ropes. Each of them was thin and sallow, dressed in ragged clothes, with hair as messy as weeds and fluffy, looking at Li Qinzai with dull eyes.
Turning to look at Xue Ne, Li Qinzai said in shock: "What do you want to do again? What's going on with these women?"
Xue Ne grinned: "I searched for them from Cangyan City. Brother Jingchu, see if there are any that you like. If you like them, I will leave two of them to serve you. If you don't like them, I will send them to the Tang Dynasty and sell them."
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched a few times: "You really... never forget about the business of human traffickers anytime and anywhere."
Xue Na said displeasedly: "What you are saying... is 'our' business! It's just making money, not shabby."
Li Qinzai wanted to say it was very shabby, but when he thought that he did have his own share of the deal, he couldn't just take it for granted.
"Don't look pitiful. They only have a way to survive when they go to the Tang Dynasty. If they stay in Goguryeo, they can only wait for death. Brother Yu is trying to accumulate virtue...Brother Jingchu, please pick a few. My steward is waiting outside the camp. , will be sent to Datang." Xue Ne urged.
Li Qinzai sighed and waved his hand happily: "...change a batch!"
Xue Ne was stunned and nodded immediately: "The money is not shabby, but these women are indeed shabby. Brother Jingchu, wait, brother Yu will find another batch for you..."
Just as he was about to turn around, Li Qinzai stopped him: "Don't do any bad things. Otherwise, if you give birth to a son in the future, turn it over and break it apart. Oh, I'm so happy, Pixiu is reincarnated..."
Xue Na said stupidly: "What do you mean?"
"You don't have an asshole, you grave egg!"
Xue Na laughed dryly: "Brother Jingchu is still so funny..."
Li Qinzai waved his hand and said: "I advise you to change your style and sell Goguryeo's young labor force instead. This is more profitable than selling women. Even if you can't sell them, you can still send them to our own village to open up wasteland. You won't lose anything." .”
Xue Na thought for a while and nodded: "What brother Jingchu said is true. Selling young men and women seems to be safer than selling women."
Then Xue Ne added: "However, in a country as big as Goguryeo, you can always find a few stunning women. Then Yudi will send them to serve Brother Jingchu."
"I understand, no need. I have a woman to serve me." Li Qinzai decisively refused.
Xue Ne chuckled and was about to drive the women out of the camp when he suddenly heard a noise on the east side of the camp.
The two brothers turned to look, and Li Qinzai frowned.
Not long after, a general rushed over and reported: "Li Shuai, our soldiers have clashed with the Goguryeo army."
Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "The five thousand soldiers and horses under Mr. Quan's command?"
"yes."
"Let's go over and have a look."
On the east side is the Goguryeo army, which is adjacent to the Tang army camp.
Li Qinzai led his troops to arrive and found that the surroundings were in chaos. The soldiers on both sides had already taken action. Although no one was taking weapons, the fight with bare hands was still very tragic.
There were injuries on both sides, many with bruises and bruises, and some even bleeding. In the smoke and dust, I saw both sides fighting, accompanied by various curses, roars, and screams. At first glance, I thought I The soldiers are fighting bravely against the enemy.
"What's going on? Stop it, everyone!" Li Qinzai shouted.
The scene was so chaotic that no one heard Li Qinzai's order.
Liu Asi and other members stepped forward, pressed their knives and shouted in unison: "Commander Li is here, stop it!"
At this time, the fighting soldiers from both sides stopped.
The soldiers of the Tang army clasped their fists and saluted, while the soldiers of Goguryeo stared at Li Qinzai with defiant expressions.
"The fighting was so fierce. Who dug up whose ancestral grave? A steward came out and told me what happened." Li Qinzai said coldly.
A general of the Tang Army stood up, clasped his fists and said, "This is to Li Shuai, it was the Goguryeo people who started the provocation and deliberately provoked a fight between the two armies."
