Chapter 485 Goguryeo Mission Enters Chang'an!

Regarding Datang's sudden dispatch of troops, Gao Jianwu was terrified in his heart.

In fact, it can also be said that Gao Jianwu was very afraid of the country next to the western territory of Goguryeo.

Especially I have seen it, because after his father, King Pingyang, and elder brother, King Pingyang, angered the former Sui emperor, that vast country sent millions of soldiers to attack Goguryeo three times.

Although they were all repelled in the end, Gao Jianwu deeply understood that the ex-Sui soldiers who were able to repel them a few times were all due to the generosity of the former Sui emperor. As long as they called for surrender, those former Sui generals would not continue to attack the city.

Fortunately, when their Goguryeo was about to be destroyed, the internal rebellion of the former Sui Dynasty allowed their Goguryeo to survive.

Now, in the country bordering the west border of Goguryeo, Datang still has dozens of times the population of Goguryeo.

If, like the former Sui emperor, he used the whole country's troops to attack Goguryeo again, Goguryeo would definitely not be able to stop it!

"Your Majesty, we should send our troops quickly to defend Jian'an, Xiongyue Mountain, and Jili City, and beware of the Tang army sending troops from Shicheng, Xuecheng and other cities, driving straight in and occupying our country's territory!"

Mo Lizhiyuan Taizuo, who was standing to one side, said solemnly.

On the side, the important ministers such as Duo Lu, Big Brother, Big Brother, Little Brother, Yi Tushe, etc. also hurriedly expressed their opinions.

"Not only should we guard against Stone City and Cave City, but we must also guard against Liaodong. You can even build a city wall in Liaodong!"

"Moreover, it is necessary to send envoys to the Great Tang, to offer tribute to the Great Tang, and to ask why the Great Tang captured the Goguryeo city for no reason?"

"Goguryeo wishes to reconcile with Datang forever!"

"..."

"I don't know who among you can be my Goguryeo envoy to the Tang Dynasty?"

Finally, after the discussion, Gao Jianwu looked expectantly at the ministers below.

Hearing this, all the ministers' faces changed slightly, and they immediately lowered their heads tightly.

They have also gone through three wars against Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, and they are still a little afraid of the Tang Dynasty established on the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this mission to the Tang Dynasty is of great importance. In order to show my sincerity in Goguryeo, I need to use the blood of the royal family as the envoy!"

After a while, Yuan Taizuo stood up and said.

"Don't leave the branch?"

Gao Jianwu narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

For the most powerful minister in Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo's words cannot be ignored by Gao Jianwu.

"Prince Gao Heng can be the main envoy, and a senior minister can be the deputy envoy, and go to the Great Tang in person to offer tribute to the Great Tang!"

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Yuan Taizuo said slowly.

"Prince Gao Heng is the envoy?"

Hearing this, Gao Jianwu and all the ministers were startled.

"Mo Lizhi, the crown prince Gao Heng is only 15 years old, and he didn't even participate in the government affairs, so he directly became the envoy, is there something wrong?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, at this time only the crown prince Gao Heng is the most suitable! As for the crown prince who has never participated in the government, you can send a deputy envoy to advise the prince on matters to be discussed with the Tang Dynasty!"

Yuan Taizuo said.

All the important ministers nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Gao Jianwu could only nod his head in agreement even if he was unwilling in his heart.

The next day, Goguryeo sent a team of envoys to Datang from Pyongyang by boat.

at the same time.

In Qingzhou, after burying the bones of the former Sui soldiers brought back from Beisha City, Li Xuan took Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others to Chang'an.

This time, after staying in Qingzhou for such a long time, Li Xuan already felt homesick.

Regarding the matter of Shicheng and Xuecheng, Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong, two veteran killers, are in charge, so it is absolutely safe.

If those Goguryeo people in the city dared to be dishonest, they would be honest if they cut them off!
ten days later.

Li Xuan returned to Lijiazhuang.

As soon as you enter Zhuangzi, you go straight to the second floor of the main house.

Under Zi Yun's service, he washed up vigorously, and then moved in front of Cui Mi and Li Chenglu.

Li Chenglu, who was already four months old, began to open up gradually, not as dark and ugly as when he was just born, and his whole body had already started to turn his head, looking around curiously.

Perhaps because he didn't recognize Li Xuan, looking at the big face that suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Chenglu burst into tears.

Seeing this, Li Xuan chuckled.

Afterwards, under Cui Mi's coaxing, Li Chenglu stopped crying.

However, after a while, thinking of something, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Li Xuan curiously.

I looked at it twice and cried again...

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look helpless.

"Don't be annoyed, Saburo, Chenglu just sees you a little unfamiliar, after two days, you won't cry when you get to know each other!" Cui Mi said with a smile.

"Mi'er, don't worry, this king is such a stingy person!"

Li Xuan's face was full of indifference.

Immediately, he couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to poke Li Chenglu's fleshy face.

Cui Mi: "..."

at night.

After calming down, Cui Mi couldn't help but said: "Sanlang, the concubine has already come to the Prince Jin's mansion, and you don't even have a concubine for more than a year. If you don't want to find those women outside, you can take Ziyun too." For the room!"

"It's not urgent!"

Li Xuan chuckled and said slowly.

Hearing this, Cui Mi subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.

However, Li Xuan had already taken a step ahead, attacking the city and plundering the land, causing Cui Mi to tense up and stop what she was about to say.

"Ziyun is still younger, let's talk about it in a year or two!"

"Let's leave it to Saburo~"

After returning to Lijiazhuang, for several days in a row, Li Xuan lived on the second floor of the main house, enjoying the days when his wife and children were warm on the kang.

As for Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and the others, they were locked up at home by Aye, and reported in detail everything that happened with Li Xuan in Qingzhou.

After hearing that the giant steel ship can travel five hundred miles a day, their faces were full of excitement.

After that, they discovered Jingguan, returned to Qingzhou, led troops to Beisha City, defeated the defenders of Beisha City in one fell swoop, captured Beisha City...captured Stone City, Cave City...and so on.

However, Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others only wandered around Beisha City before being sent back to Qingzhou by Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others. For the rest, they all heard the stories of those guards or Xue Rengui.

Therefore, telling Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others is more exciting than the real situation.

In less than a few days, Jin Wang Li Xuanba's capture of Goguryeo Beisha City, Xuecheng City, and Shicheng City was spread throughout Chang'an City by a lot of exaggerated stories, and spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty with Chang'an City as the center.

At the same time, a team of Goguryeo envoys walked into Chang'an City while looking around curiously.

"Deputy Envoy Minglin, how can the Tang Dynasty be so prosperous, and such a flat and smooth road can be built so far?"

"Deputy Envoy Minglin, Tang Dynasty actually has such crystal clear glazed things, and they openly installed them on the windows of these shops..."

"The streets of the capital of the Tang Dynasty are so wide, and there are such large carriages..."

"Deputy Envoy Minglin..."

After entering Chang'an City, Gao Heng, the crown prince of Goguryeo, was dazzled by seeing it directly. He was even more amazed by the prosperity and all kinds of strange things in Chang'an City.

He was in Pyongyang, not only had he not seen these novel objects, he had never even heard of them.

Deputy envoy Ming Lin Youyuan was also full of astonishment.

As the ambassador of Goguryeo, more than ten years ago, he was ordered by the king to go to the Tang Dynasty once.

It's just that he never imagined that after seeing him for more than ten years, Datang would become so prosperous!
