The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1214 Surrender?

Gao Zang walked outside with his men, and the guards in the palace didn't dare to stop him. When he reached the door, the three Quan boys and brothers came out to welcome him.

"I have seen the king." The three brothers saluted Gao Zang together.

"The three lovers don't need to be too polite. Today I am alone in the palace. I heard that Quan Nanjian and you brought soldiers into the palace. I came here alone to take a look. But what happened?" Gao Zang asked.

"It's nothing, I'm being rude. I'm my father, and my father doesn't see me these days. I'm worried about my father's health, so I did this in a hurry. I hope the king will forgive me." Quan Nanjian bowed and said.

"I see. Is Da Mo Lizhi's health okay? It's been more than a month, and even Gu has never seen Da Mo Lizhi. I'm here today, and Gu also plans to visit Da Mo Lizhi. Zhi, after all, Da Mo Lizhi was also working hard for state affairs, so he was exhausted and fell ill." Gao Zang said with a smile, and then he was about to walk into the hall.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Gao Zang was about to walk into the hall, Quan Boy quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Bold!" For such a disrespectful action, the eunuch next to Gao Zang jumped out and shouted, which really shocked the boy Quan.

"Why? Is it possible that Gu can't enter this palace?" Gao Zang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, it's not." Quan boy waved his hands again and again: "It's just that father just fell asleep."

"Do you think going in alone will disturb Da Mo Lizhi?" Gao Zang said displeased.

"That's not what I meant."

"At this point, big brother, there is nothing to stop." Quan Nanjian said: "Your Majesty, please."

Gao Zang glanced at Quan Nanjian and then at Quan Nannan, snorted coldly, and walked into the palace with the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the safety of the court, the ministers concealed the news of his father's serious illness. In fact, as early as one and a half months ago, his father was seriously ill and he was already unconscious. Now he just sighed and said Maybe someday." Quan Nanjian said: "One and a half months ago, if the news of my father's unconsciousness spread, the entire government and the public would be in turmoil. Datang opportunity”

"Yeah." Gao Zang nodded: "That's true, but with the current situation, there's no point in hiding the news about Da Molizhi any longer. It's better for the doctor to give Damo Lizhi a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Quan Gai Suwen is dying, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't save Quan Gai Suwen from dying. Now Quan Gai Suwen, apart from the faint breath in his nostrils, there is nothing left. It's no different from a dead person.

"Tomorrow morning, in the main hall, summon the courtiers and announce the news. Now that the war situation has become so rotten, it can't be dragged on any longer. We must find a way." Gao Zang said.

"Yes." The three brothers could only respond and put it on them, they didn't know what to do next.

Quan Gai Su Wen could no longer dominate the court, Gao Zang finally looked like a king.

In the early morning of the next day, in the main hall of the Pyongyang City Palace, Gao Zangduan sat on the throne, while the seat of the ordinary Quangai Suwen was still empty. The man who was majestic in the court at the time was now lying on the bed, leaving It's not far to die.

"I summoned you all today and I have some news. I have to tell you that today's court meeting is also related to the life and death of Goguryeo. I want to hear your opinions." Gao Zang said.

It's rare that it wasn't Quan Gai Suwen who spoke to the court.

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

Gao Zang's words also made the people below feel bad. Something happened to Su Wen.

"When the Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, Damo Lizhi worked on state affairs and died of a serious illness. Now he is in a coma and unconscious in the side hall. Liu Boying, the navy general of the Tang Dynasty, led [-] sailors from the south to Liaodong in the north, and is now stationed in Changkou. City, the current situation, what should I do in Goguryeo, please speak freely." Gao Zang said.

In terms of naval forces, Goguryeo and Baekje are attacking Silla at sea, while Baekje's ground troops are having fun in Silla. They don't care about Su Dingfang in Goguryeo's territory in the south. Goguryeo dare not let Baekje enter Goguryeo's territory. .

However, Goguryeo's local army was completely helpless against the elites of the Tang Dynasty. The northern Dahang City gradually eroded towards Pyongyang City. In half a month, Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing led troops to fight How to deal with the city of Pyongyang?
"This"

The officials in the hall looked at each other. They knew that the battle was not good for Goguryeo, but they always felt that there was Quangai Suwen standing in front of them. Even if they were defeated, they would not be in bad luck. , Now it's all right, the sky fell and the tall man lay down, what should I do?

In the past, these people had resentment towards Quan Gai Su Wen's domineering and domineering power, but when the crisis really came, they pinned all their hopes on Quan Gai Su Wen, and Quan Gai Su Wen fell down without a backbone , this time they really panicked, and they hated Quan Gai Suwen even more in their hearts, why they fell down at this time.
"Your Majesty, now the northern land is occupied by the Tang army, and there are peerless generals such as Su Dingfang in the south. Originally, Su Dingfang led the army and was based on the mainland. He fought in Goguryeo, and the logistics supply was difficult. As long as Su Dingfang's supplies are cut off, Su Dingfang can be defeated, but Now that Liu Boying, the navy general of the Tang Army, has led fifty thousand naval troops to station in Changkou, Su Dingfang has no worries about the future. I am so bold as to say, Your Majesty, if you send envoys to Tang to submit the form of surrender as soon as possible, Goguryeo can still keep a piece of good land. If it drags on, I dare not say what the future of Goguryeo will be."

"The Qing family mean to surrender to Tang?" Gao Zang asked.

"Exactly."

Hearing his response, Gao Zang fell into deep thought. Obviously, although surrendering is shameful, at least it can save a piece of land, keep this land from changing hands, and keep the Gao family's throne.

"What about the others? Do you all agree?" Gao Zang glanced at everyone.

Everyone whispered to each other in the hall, discussing one after another.

The three brothers of the Quan family also stood together, discussing whether this matter is feasible, but after discussing and discussing, they found that there is no general in Goguryeo that can be dispatched to fight against the Tang army.

Therefore, it seems inevitable to send envoys to ask for peace. At worst, it will cost some money and send it to Chang'an, to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. It is better to buy peace than to lose one's life.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." After the discussion, a rare consensus was reached among the court.
