The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1218 Rebellion
Where else can I retreat?Pyongyang City is already the last dignity of Goguryeo.
"If my lord has any doubts about what I said, maybe within two days, Tang Jun will be able to let my lord see the result." Lao Hei said: "If your lord has no idea at that time, you might as well come and find me again. , I am going to prepare for myself, and by the way, for you, my lord, I will take my leave."

After Lao Hei saluted the boy from Quan, he left the backyard and went back to his room.

After Lao Hei left, Boy Quan stood in the backyard for a long time before walking towards his own yard. There were some things that he had figured out, and some things that he hadn't figured out yet.

As Lao Hei said, maybe in two days, the news of Tang Jun's actions will reach Pyongyang City, and Quan Boys will figure it out and make a choice.

Xuan Shijing led the army to continue southward, marching towards Pyongyang City while plundering the people of Goguryeo along the way. In this way, it saved a lot of effort in terms of military supplies. As for the people of Goguryeo, they left a few alive Food is enough. After all, the land that has been conquered will be managed by Datang. If these people are really forced, it will take even more effort for Datang to set up a county government in Goguryeo to manage these people.

This can be regarded as a little kindness of Xuan Shijing to the people of Goguryeo.

All the way to the south, the army led by Xuan Shijing hardly encountered any strong resistance. It was less than two hundred miles away from Pyongyang City. Xuan Shijing temporarily stationed troops in a city. Let the soldiers rest.

The news that Xuan Shijing led his troops to the south also spread to Pyongyang City.

Tang Jun is only two hundred miles away from Pyongyang City, and it is only a matter of a few cities in the middle to fight Pyongyang City.

In the mansion of Quan Boys, Quan Boys found Lao Hei again.

"As you said, before Ren Wu arrived in Chang'an, Datang's army could reach the city of Pyongyang. Baekje could not protect itself, and was beaten outside the capital by Su Dingfang and Liu Boying. In a few days, there is no one in this world. Baekje, within a month or two, there will be no more Goguryeo in this world," said the boy Quan.

"My lord finally recognized the result?" Old Hei asked.

Boy Quan nodded: "I see clearly, Goguryeo is hard to find a general now, even if there are soldiers, those leaders, who can beat Xue Rengui? Who can beat Xuan Shijing, when Su Dingfang returns from Baekje, Even if the city of Pyongyang is strong, so what?"

"In this war, Goguryeo has been at a disadvantage from the very beginning." Lao Hei said: "Since Emperor Tang personally conquered Goguryeo three years ago, the Liaodong Army has been harassing and plundering Goguryeo's land for three years. There have been famines in various places for three consecutive years, Daxing City has been taken, there is no gate in the north, there are no dangerous mountains and rivers, how can we resist the Tang army with a flat river?"

"I'm not reconciled." Boy Quan sighed.

"It's nothing to be unwilling to do. Just like doing business, some earn a lot of money, and some lose nothing. And there is no doubt that this time, in the contest between Goguryeo and Datang, Goguryeo is the one that lost everything. If the court had sent envoys to Chang'an when the Tang army was mobilizing troops in Liaodong, the result might not be what it is now."

What Lao Hei said is just to make Quan boys live on the scene. If Datang eats the weight and is determined to destroy Goguryeo and bring the land of Goguryeo into the territory of Datang, let alone send an envoy Even if Gao Zang or Quan Gai Suwen personally went to Chang'an to meet His Majesty Li Er, there would be no good results.

"Don't talk about the past, let's talk about the future, what are your plans in the future?" Mr. Quan said, "If the city of Pyongyang is destroyed in the future, even I will not be able to protect you properly." Mr. Quan said.

"My lord, why don't you think about how to face the Tang army?" Lao Hei said, "Now my lord is in Pyongyang, whether it is military or political affairs, I am struggling under the attack of the king and Izumi Nanjian. My lord still wants to continue to fight here." stay in this environment?"

"Otherwise?" Quan boy asked back.

"This shows that Izumi Nanjian is persecuting you more and more, and in the future, let alone the Goguryeo court lord, even the city of Pyongyang will have no place for your lord. "Old Hei said: "My lord, why don't you think about it, how about descending to Tang?"

"Jiang Tang?" Quan boy stared at Lao Hei with wide eyes in disbelief.

"My lord, don't be surprised. It's just a proposal. It's just a matter of time." Lao Hei said, "Since your lord knows that the city of Pyongyang and Goguryeo can't be kept. The nobles in the city will still surrender, and the king will also surrender in order to save his life. Why can't your lord surrender?'
As for whether Gao Zang would die for the country as a royal family, everyone knew in their hearts that if Gao Zang had such a backbone, how could he have become Quan Gai Suwen's puppet back then?But now Gao Zang has started to gather power, and it is going smoothly. It is nothing more than the two brothers of the Quan family fighting each other. Secondly, the current situation in Goguryeo is not good. Everyone needs someone who can take the blame. This identity is perfect for taking the blame.

Now Gao Zang also started picking soft persimmons after seeing Quan Gai Suwen passed away. When Quan Gai Su Wen was alive, even if he was seriously ill and lying on the bed, Gao Zang would not dare to speak out, otherwise Quan Gai Even Su Wen's confidant officials could not have kept the news of Quan Gai Su Wen's unconsciousness so tight for such a long time.

"This..." the boy from Quan pondered.

"Surrendering to Tang at this time, my lord can get some benefits to some extent." Old Hei Jianquan boy began to hesitate, and continued: "If you surrender to Tang early, Datang will not treat you badly, because after all, you are a general If the Tang army is not good to the adults, then in the future, the Tang army will attack Pyongyang city, hit the bottom of Pyongyang city, will the people in the court dare to open the city gate and surrender? It is not a desperate resistance. In this way, the loss of Datang's attack on Pyongyang city, But it’s not two o’clock, they need to treat adults well and send a signal to the people in Pyongyang, a very friendly signal.”

"What you said is not unreasonable, but I inherited my father's position. As a Goguryeo Mo Lizhi, I took the lead in surrendering myself. This..."

"My lord surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, no matter how you think it was forced by Mr. Quan Nanjian and the king." Lao Hei gave a very good title.

On one side is Mo Lizhi's seat, his identity as a Goguryeo native.

On the other side is his own wealth and life.

How to choose depends on what is more important in the mind of the spring boy.
