The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1245 Surrender

"Then, what about Tang Jun's movements now?" Gao Zang asked after regaining his composure.

"We are heading towards the city of Pyongyang. Based on the current distance, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang in two days. In addition, it is inevitable that Su Dingfang's army has also entered the territory of Goguryeo. At most four days, we will be able to meet Xuan Shi Jing's army gathered outside Pyongyang." The messenger said.

"It's over, it's over." Gao Zang murmured, "Ren Wu hasn't arrived in Chang'an yet! Goguryeo is about to perish!"

The messenger knelt on the ground. He didn't know what to say in such a situation. He also knew the situation in Pyongyang now. Even counting the guards of the palace, there were only 5 horses. Heading towards Pyongyang City, how long can Pyongyang City be defended?

"You go back first." Gao Zang said.

"Yes."

After the messenger retreated, Gao Zang said to the eunuch next to him, "Go to Quan Nanjian's mansion immediately, and say that Gu wants to see him, and let him enter the palace immediately! Now!"

"Yes." The eunuch responded and left the main hall.

Gao Zang was the only person left in the entire hall. The empty palace seemed to be filled with the hustle and bustle of the past, but in a blink of an eye, this palace, this throne, I don’t know how long I can sit on it. The country of Goguryeo, Don't know how long it will last.

Baekje is dead, Goguryeo is also dying, and the whole country will be destroyed in an instant. The entire Sanhan Peninsula and large tracts of land are all included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The door of the mansion built by Quan Nan is already closed at this time, who will open the door of the mansion in the middle of the night?The concierge was in the back room, and he also fell asleep shaking his cattail fan.

After the eunuch next to Gaozang took the order, he left the palace overnight with two guards, took a carriage to Quan Nanjian's mansion, and knocked on the door.

The concierge was asleep, but was woken up by the knock on the door. He put on his clothes and walked out of the room. He walked to the door and said, "It's so late at night, who is it? Don't know if everyone is resting now? "

"Your Majesty summons!" The eunuch shouted loudly, "Open the door quickly!"

When the gatekeeper heard that this was someone from the palace, or that the king wanted to summon him, he quickly opened the gate.

"Hurry up and inform Mo Lizhi that the king has an urgent matter, and wait in the palace for Mo Lizhi to go to the palace to discuss it, hurry up!" the eunuch shouted to the porter.

"Yes." The porter nodded in response, and then ran towards the courtyard built by Quan Nan in the mansion.

After Quan Nannan fell to the Tang Dynasty, Quan Nanjian forged Mo Lizhi's seal letter privately, and now steals Mo Lizhi's seat in Goguryeo to fight against Gao Zang in the city of Pyongyang.

The concierge came to Quan Nanjian's yard, walked to the door of Quan Nanjian's room, and knocked on the door.

"My lord, someone in the palace sent a message that the king has something urgent to call for your lord in the palace."

The concierge said this several times outside the door, and Izumi Nanjian inside the house woke up from his dream, put on his clothes and opened the door.

"You just said that the king sent someone to summon me and let me enter the palace immediately?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"Exactly, people are waiting outside the gate of the mansion. The eunuch next to the king came to deliver the message in person." The porter said.

"Okay, I got it, notify the guards at the house and prepare the carriage." Quan Nanjian ordered.

"Yes." The concierge responded, and then went down to help Quan Nan build Zhang Luo.

Since he was going to enter the palace, Quan Nanjian must have changed his official uniform. After changing the official uniform, the guards and carriages were already ready at the gate of the mansion.

Quan Nanjian got into the carriage and followed Gao Zang's eunuch into the palace. He was not afraid that Gao Zang would plot against him. The guards in the palace were all Quan's confidantes, and they were all old people left by Quan Gai Suwen before. He has no influence in the palace, so Quan Gai Suwen didn't dare to stay overnight in the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards guarding the gate saw Quan Nanjian's carriage and immediately opened the palace gate, and the two carriages entered the palace without hindrance.

Outside the main hall of the palace, the carriage stopped. Quan Nanjian got off the carriage, and several guards stood guard at the gate of the palace. Accompanied by the eunuch, Quan Nanjian walked into the main hall. I saw Takazo sitting on the throne with lifeless eyes.

After saluting hastily, Quan Nanjian asked, "I don't know if the king summoned the minister to enter the palace late at night, what's the matter?"

"Gaoguryeo, it's over." Gao Zang came back to his senses and looked at Quan Nanjian: "Now, between us, we are straight to the point, there is no need to fight for anything around Pyongyang City, everything is over. "

"What's the meaning of this, Your Majesty?" Quan Nanjian asked puzzled.

"It's not your good brother! Boy Quan!" Gao Zang said: "Originally there were 15 guards in Bozhuo City, and Gu dispatched 12 troops out of the city to destroy the Tang army. After that, the 12 army was defeated by Xuan Shijing's 12 Liaodong Army in one fell swoop, and the entire army was wiped out in a flood. The last force outside Goguryeo and Pyongyang has been completely defeated by Xuan Shijing .”

"Your Majesty, there are still [-] soldiers and horses in the city." Quan Nanjian said.

The 12 troops were gone, and Izumi Nanjian was at a loss. Originally, Gao Zang was able to dispatch the 12 troops in Bozhuo City. He was also quite surprised, but generally speaking, it was a good thing. The 12 Tang army is more than enough, but now, the Tang army has nothing to deal with, and the 12 army is gone. No wonder Gao Zang is so desperate.

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the city." Gao Zang smiled: "How long can it last? How long can it last? There is only one Pyongyang city left in the whole Goguryeo! Only this one city! What's the use of it!"

"My lord." Quan Nanjian looked at Gao Zang: "Then what does your lord mean?"

"Surrender Kaesong. The orphans lead the nobles in the city. Once the Tang army arrives, Kaesong surrenders, and you can save your life. I advise you not to struggle any longer. It's useless. Su Dingfang's [-] troops will arrive soon. , and Xuan Shijing's army gathered outside the city, Liu Boying's navy is at sea, and together with Liu Rengui, my Goguryeo navy is all gone, gone, nothing!"

"Really. Do you want to surrender?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"Surrender!" Gao Zang said resolutely: "Surrender can save Goguryeo's vitality. If you don't surrender, Goguryeo will be young and strong. They will all die when the Tang army falls, and Goguryeo will really die."

Quan Nanjian stood in the same place, silent, Gao Zang proposed to surrender, he had no resistance in his heart, now, if he continued to fight and defend, it would be nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Surrender can also save the people and save the last breath of energy for Goguryeo. If you don't surrender, you will really anger Tang Jun and Xuan Shijing. As Gao Zang said, all the men in Goguryeo died under the knife of Tang Jun. was erased from history.
