The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1159
So Gao Huanquan's daily life has a little more episode, that is, Xue Rengui likes to walk around the city of Anshi when he has nothing to do, and runs on Gao Huanquan along the way.

Gao Huanquan's whole life, except that he grew up in Goguryeo when he was young, grew up under Gao Jianwu's wings, and has been living as a hostage in Chang'an since then. In the days of Datang, he didn't learn anything else. The problems of those noble children in Chang'an City are the same Buluo, all of them were contaminated. At that time, he had a special status. Although he was a proton, he was still the prince of a country. Besides Xuan Shijing, all the princes and young masters in Chang'an also gave this Rongliu prince some points. In terms of face, Gao Huanquan can enjoy it in Chang'an.

But it’s different now, a subjugated prince, where did he come from? He was aggrieved in Anshicheng, and the city was still borrowed from the Tang Dynasty. How dare he have any temper in front of Xue Rengui, so he could only receive Xue Rengui with a smile. After Xue Rengui left, he returned to the mansion and lost his temper.

Gao Huanquan has had enough of this kind of life. He is stationed in Anshi City. He has no food and grass. He can only beat the autumn wind on the Goguryeo land around Liaodong. , and he couldn't support his troops stationed in Anshi City. He had no choice but to go to Xue Rengui for food and grass every year with the cheek.

It is not an easy matter to ask for food and grass. At that time, not only Xue Rengui will run on him, but even Tang Jun's military supplies and logistics will dare to show him face.

Gao Huanquan also knew in his heart that only by defeating Quangai Suwen, taking down Pyongyang City, and restoring the Gao family's rule in Goguryeo, can all these be easily resolved.

Therefore, when the news of Pyongyang City came out that Quangai Suwen was dying, Gao Huanquan couldn't sit still.

"The war in Liaodong has resumed, gentlemen, what do you want to say?"

In the early dynasty, His Majesty Li Er sat high at the top of the Taiji Hall, and his eyes scanned the many ministers standing in the hall.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I believe that Liaodong is stable now, and Quangai Suwen has retreated to Pyongyang City. The Tang Dynasty has received and paid the land of Liaodong for more than three years. The northeast is stable, and it is not appropriate to use large-scale weapons." The official stood up and said. : "After a while, the envoys of the Xueyantuo tribe in the north will arrive in Chang'an, and the northwest will be settled, so the army should rest and recuperate."

"I don't agree with you." Li Daozong stood up when he heard that the officials objected to fighting Liaodong again. At the beginning, he led Xuan Shijing and five thousand elite soldiers to clear the way and rushed to Liaodong as a vanguard. Of course, he also cares about the matter, and he doesn't want the vanguard army to go through all kinds of difficulties to open up the situation. Now it is finally doing well and can recover more, but because of a few words from the court officials, he gave up the current situation and the current opportunity. , It can be said to be once in a thousand years. After this opportunity, if you want to use force against Goguryeo again, the cost will not be the current amount.

"Your Majesty, it is true that Liaodong has been pacified, but Goguryeo is still under the control of Quangai Suwen. Originally, the Gao family was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and they were the subordinate subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Now the Gao family is almost slaughtered by Quangai Suwen. Gao Huanquan Living in Anshi City, and now conflicting with Quangai Suwen, if the Tang Dynasty does not help, how can the small countries around the world dare to attach to the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly upon hearing this.

His Majesty Li Er also hopes to send troops to fight in his heart. All he needs is a high-sounding reason in the court. Goguryeo will not be destroyed. After all, it will be a thorn in Datang's heart. As for how to deal with the land after it is destroyed, it is It is up to the Tang Dynasty whether to set up the Protectorate's Mansion or reward Gao Huanquan as a fief.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Gao Huanquan and Quangai Suwen can fight. General Xue is in Liaodong. It's not too late to wait and see for a while before making a decision." Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said.

What Changsun Wuji said is also good for Datang, let Gao Huanquan and Quangai Suwen consume each other, if Gao Huanquan really can't beat him, let Xue Rengui bring Gao Huanquan back to Anshi City, and cultivate for a while , go to fight again.

In any case, all that was consumed was Goguryeo's strength, and it had nothing to do with Datang. Datang was just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this opportunity is once in a thousand years. If you miss it, it will not be easy to touch Goguryeo in the future." Xuan Shijing stood up and said, "Whether it is the morality that the King Jiangxia said, or the eldest grandson said, Waiting and watching is undoubtedly good for Datang. Master Changsun said that it can greatly reduce the loss of Datang, but on the battlefield, changes are changing rapidly, and no one can predict how it will develop in the future. I feel that it is better to seize the opportunity in front of me, with the Tang Dynasty's sharp weapon in hand, why worry about the city not being broken?"

"Xuanhou's words are true." Changsun Wuji said, "It's just that Xuanhou doesn't think it would be better if Gao Huanquan and Quangaisuwen are almost defeated before the Tang Dynasty sends troops."

"Whether governing the country or employing troops, there are two words that cannot be escaped, morality, this is a banner, a banner of justice, a banner of the Tang Dynasty, a banner that must not fall down." Xuan Shijing's words resounded loudly.

Like Changsun Wuji, it is indeed possible to reduce the consumption of Liaodong to the greatest extent, but it is unethical. Is it okay to pick up ready-made cheap ones?What are the consequences of picking up a bargain?Goguryeo was pacified, and Gao Huanquan was taken advantage of. In the end, the territory of the Gao family in the Pyongyang city of Goguryeo should still be confiscated to the Gao family. It's justifiable.

But if Datang takes the lead in this war, it will be different. If Goguryeo is flattened and the land of Goguryeo is included in the territory of Datang, it will be Liaodong Protectorate. He just needs to stay in Pyongyang City. Anyway, there will be no waves. Xue Rengui is still stationed in Liaodong. After a few years, the land of Goguryeo will be completely owned by the Tang Dynasty. His official position is not hereditary. As for the heirs, just fool around with a position and it's over.

This is fundamentally different in nature. If the old land of Goguryeo was entrusted to Gao Huanquan, it would be the private land of the Gao family. Goguryeo still exists, right?It has been passed down from generation to generation, so what's the point of trying so hard to dig the spring to cover Suwen?
What Datang wants is real benefits, land and wealth!
If Tang had raised troops to fight against Quan Gai Su Wen when Gao Huan Quan and Quan Gai Su Wen had just started fighting, then in the end, although there was a slight loss, they could still gain morality and benefits.
