The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1247

"My lord, the envoy is back." The little eunuch came in from outside the hall to report to Gao Zang.

"Come in quickly."

After a while, the eunuch brought the envoy in.

"My lord, see your Majesty." The envoy bowed to Gao Zang, and then bowed his hands to the nobles in the hall.

"Quickly, how is the conversation with Xuan Shijing going?" Gao Zang asked eagerly.

"Back to the king, I went to the Tang army camp and handed over the king's letter of credence. However, the Marquis of Dongshan is still worried about us. Now there are only [-] Tang troops in the camp outside the city, but there are five defenders in Pyongyang. More than ten thousand people are still the elite of my Goguryeo, he said, he dare not take this risk unless"

"Unless what?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"Unless all the [-] troops leave the city and set up camp ten miles away, after the [-] troops are stationed ten miles away, he will bring troops to take over Pyongyang City." The envoy responded.

"Too much deceit!" Quan Nanjian yelled: "You see clearly, there are only 2 Tang troops outside the city?"

"Yes, my officer took a general look at the camp of the Tang army. Indeed, there were only 2 camps, and the Marquis of Dongshan also claimed that there were only [-] Liaodong troops in the camp." The envoy said.

"2 people" Izumi Nanjian stroked his chin and lowered his head to think.

"What does Mo Lizhi want to do?" Seeing Quan Nanjian's appearance, Gao Zang hurriedly asked, now that the general trend has become settled, it is doomed to be useless to struggle any longer, Gao Zang does not want Quan Nan to be killed at this juncture Build and then go to extraneous branches.

"My lord, my lords." Quan Nanjian raised his head and said, "This Xuan Shijing fought in the territory of Goguryeo and took away a lot of my property in Goguryeo. If he surrenders like this, there will be no soldiers in the city. Xuan Shijing will send troops to rob again." Looting, we have no power to fight back at all. In this way, I dare not say whether your wealth and life can be preserved. Now Xuan Shijing's army is stationed outside the city, with only 2 people, and the [-] elite in my city. But the first battle, this battle is not for anything else, just to destroy Xuan Shijing, as long as Xuan Shijing dies, when Su Dingfang's army arrives outside the city of Pyongyang, it will not be too late for me to leave the city and surrender, what Xuan Shijing dares to do , Su Dingfang dared not do it, so that everyone here will not have to worry about their belongings being robbed by that robber Xuan Shijing."

"Is Mo Lizhi going to attack Xuan Shijing?" An official asked Quan Nanjian.

"Exactly." Quan Nanjian nodded.

"Mo Lizhi's actions may anger the Tang army." Gao Zang said: "The Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing is very popular with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If I die in Pyongyang City, I am afraid that I will not even have the chance to surrender to the Tang Dynasty." No more, Mo Lizhi's move will only anger Tang Jun even more."

As soon as Gao Zang said this, the main hall fell into silence again.

"Then according to what the king said, is he going to agree to Xuan Shijing's request?" Quan Nanjian asked.

"For today's plan, this is the only way to go. If the fight continues, the root will be gone." Gao Zang said, "Did Mo Lizhi forget what you and I said that night in the main hall?"

Quan Nanjian's palms were tightly clenched into fists. Although he and Gao Zang had drank and chatted together, but the situation was imminent, he couldn't accept the current result, and it was difficult for him to accept such a good opportunity in front of him. But because of scruples about this and that, he gave up.

Now think about it, if the time goes back to two or three months ago, how many chances does Goguryeo have to escape today's fate?But where can this time go back?

"Since we have decided to descend to Tang, let's do as Xuan Shijing said." Gao Zang said: "But there is one thing, Xuan Shijing needs to make three agreements with the king. After entering the city, he is not allowed to plunder the city's property. You must not allow the soldiers to bully our people, let alone kill our people. You wait until tomorrow, continue to go to the Tang army camp, and tell Xuan Shijing the three conditions of Gu. Being able to defend Pyongyang City to the end and resisting to the end, in this way, even if Tang Jun wants to take Pyongyang City after joining forces, he will have to pay a considerable price and let him think about it himself."

"Yes." The envoy replied.

The nobles in Pyongyang City gathered in the main hall of the palace, and when they dispersed, it was already late at night. Quan Nanjian sat in the main hall without speaking, and everyone had left. Gao Zang got up from his seat and came to Izumi built his side.

"Although Gu and Mo Lizhi had disagreements in their political views, they were all for Goguryeo in their hearts. The matter has reached this point, and Mo Lizhi should not think too much about it. If there must be one person to be responsible for the subjugation of the country, Let me recite it." Gao Zang patted Quan Nanjian on the shoulder, and then left the main hall with the eunuch beside him.

Quan Nanjian looked at the back of Gao Zang leaving, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion. These days, what are he and Gao Zang arguing about?right?Mo Lizhi's position, if one person is under one person, above ten thousand people, wealth?Even if he can't spend all the wealth in the family in his next life, now that the country is about to disappear, what is left for him?Do the rest of these things make sense?

Quan Nanjian got up and left the main hall, his guards were waiting for him outside the hall, got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards Quan Nanjian's mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Gaozang's envoys left Pyongyang City and went to the Tang army's camp.

As for Xuan Shijing in the camp, he hasn’t woken up yet. Although the envoys came to the barracks overnight to tell him about Gao Zang’s surrender, after all, Pyongyang City has not yet been obtained, and there is still enough in Pyongyang City. To threaten the strength of the Tang army, the camp must be protected. Therefore, last night, in the camp of 2 people, 5000 people were on duty at night.

Gao Zang's envoys arrived at the barracks early, and were taken by Chang Le to wait in the side tent on the side of the commander's tent.

"My lord, is Lord Hou still awake?" the envoy looked at Chang Le and asked.

"Last night, Lord Hou personally led people to patrol the camp, so he slept late." Chang Le said, "Master Envoy, please wait for a while."

"Okay." The envoys responded again and again, and at the same time, they were grateful. Fortunately, the king did not agree with Mo Lizhi's idea yesterday. If Mo Lizhi had brought people to attack the Tang army's camp last night, it would probably not be beneficial. The Marquis of Tang Dongshan was too meticulous.

It is said to be meticulous, but in fact, it makes the opponent feel a little scary.

After a while, Xuan Shijing woke up leisurely, packed up and walked out of the tent, and saw Chang Le walking back and forth outside the tent with Gao Zang's envoys.

"Your envoy came so early." Xuan Shijing greeted with a smile.

When the envoy saw Xuan Shijing, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen Lord Hou."

Chang Le also bowed his hands to Xuan Shijing and saluted: "Master Hou, the envoy came to the camp early in the morning, but at that time Master Hou had just fallen asleep, and the subordinates did not disturb Master Hou."
