Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 489 Murder

"That's natural!" Xue Rengui said with a smile: "This time the army is dispatched, the British Duke is the chief commander of the army, and we are all under his control, so naturally we cannot exercise power. It is really a good move to benefit the country, if it were me, I would definitely agree!"

Qibi He Li nodded slightly, but did not speak. He walked to the window, overlooking the wide streets below, countless houses, and the thick city wall at the top that can accommodate four horses side by side, and suddenly said: "Captain Wang, do you know? This battle, even after a thousand years, your name will remain on the annals of history, and will be recited and praised by countless people!"

Wang Wenzuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not just the next person who will be named in the annals of history, the two will definitely be among them!"

"That was also in your honor, at least this time!" Qibi Heli smiled: "Wang Dudu, thank you very much!"

Hearing Qibi Heli's second thank you, Wang Wenzuo was a little embarrassed, and before he opened his mouth to thank him, Qibi Heli said to Xue Rengui: "General Xue, when you followed the late emperor to the Liaodong, you made outstanding achievements with your bravery. The first emperor once said: how old a widow is, how old the old general is, and it is embarrassing to be sent by others. Every time he wants to be outstanding and backward, there is no one like Qing. Now he does not like Liaodong, but he likes Qing. That was more than 20 years ago. Now you and I I'm old too, when I see Dudu Wang, I think of you back then!"

"What did the Duke say?" Xue Rengui laughed and said, "I can still shoot through five armors with one arrow. Although I can't compare with the ancients, how dare I call myself an old man? On the contrary, the king's governor was born at a young age, and he is much stronger than I was back then. !"

"One arrow pierces through five armors. General Xue is really a supporter of the world!" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback. He had heard of Xue Rengui's reputation as a good archer, but now he looks like a man who can go five if he doesn't talk much. , It is really amazing to still have this arm strength. Those who can leave their names in the history books in the cold weapon era, as expected, one of them is considered to be non-human.

Seeing Wang Wenzuo's amazement, Xue Rengui was also a little proud, shaking his head and laughing: "It's just the courage of a man just before the battle, and it can't compare with Wang Dudu's strategy. I also heard about the last time you went back to Chang'an to form a polo team for the prince. Yes, you are indeed a great general. In another ten years, the east of Tang Dynasty will depend on you!"

"Where, where!" Wang Wenzuo only felt that the muscles on his face were a little sore from laughing. If he followed his own intention, since the serious things were finished, then everyone would go back to their respective homes and take care of their own affairs. The fight is almost over, and all kinds of things I have to deal with are still piled up like a mountain. I wish I could be the envoy of three people, but both Xue Rengui and Qibi Heli are great big shots. The perfunctory on the Internet is still indispensable.

"I'm getting old!" Qibi Heli seemed to see Wang Wenzuo's thoughts, and he yawned: "The muscles and bones are not as good as before, Wang Dudu, first arrange a place for the old man and General Xue to rest, and leave everything until tomorrow Let's talk again!"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly called someone, and sent Qibi Heli and Xue Rengui out of the door. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "It's more tiring than fighting a fucking war to please the boss!"

The night was dark, without moonlight, but the sky was rare and clear.

"I'm in Gaozang, the governor summoned me!" He told the Tang army guard who guarded the gate, and the guard snorted coldly and let him pass.

There are so many stars in the sky!Walking along the cobblestone road, passing through pine and oak trees.When he was a child, his mother taught him astrology: he knew the names and positions of the 28 constellations; Star officials, there are countless other stories.But now my mother has passed away, only the stars in the sky remain.

"This way!"

Gao Zang stopped, noticing the light on the gazebo not far away, he quickly lifted the front of his robe and ran over.

"After staying in the room for a day, I wanted to come out to get some air!" Wang Wenzuo picked up a date and pointed to the stone bench opposite the table: "Sit down and talk!"

"I dare not!" Gao Zang saluted with his hands crossed, but stood beside the stone bench.

"Today is just private, no need to be formal!" Wang Wenzuo laughed and said, "Besides, when you came to my camp pretending to be an envoy, you were very courageous!"

"I'm concerned about family affairs, so I don't realize it!" Gao Zang replied.

Wang Wenzuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled and said, "What a family concern, I don't realize it! People like Brother Gao, even if they go to Chang'an, they must have a good time!"

"Chang'an?" Gao Zang's face showed a trace of disappointment: "Could it be that the Tang Dynasty can't allow mere people to stay behind and guard the ancestor's tomb? Even if it's a county, hundreds of households are fine!"

"Shaokang Youtian Yicheng, with only one brigade of soldiers, can rejuvenate the ancestral business. This is a good story since ancient times!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile:

Hearing Wang Wenzuo's words, Gao Zang hurriedly pleaded guilty. Shaokang in Wang Wenzuo's mouth was the sixth generation monarch of the Xia Dynasty according to legend. Killed by Hou Yi.Shaokang fled to Yu State, which only had a radius of ten miles and a population of only 500 people. However, under Shaokang's painstaking management, he finally defeated the enemy and revived the Xia Dynasty.When Wang Wenzuo said this, he obviously implied that if Gao Zang stayed in Liaodong, he might re-establish Goguryeo. If Gao Zang said more, his life would be in danger.

"Please stand up!" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand and pleaded: "It's not that I didn't keep my promise, it's just that you are in a place of suspicion. If you don't act cautiously, your life may be in danger!"

"The boy has no morals and cannot keep the foundation of the ancestors. He deserves to die! Now that there is no one to serve the ancestors' tombs, why dare to talk about other things?"

"You can rest assured that I will speak for you in front of the British Duke and arrange for people to guard the tomb of your ancestors. How about fifty households guarding the tomb? That's a lot! Back then Mr. Wei Wuji only had five households!"

Hearing this, Gao Zang knew there was nothing he could do, so he kowtowed to thank him, then got up and sat down.He was upset at this moment, and his answer was not as secure as before. Wang Wenzuo didn't seem to notice it, he was just joking, and it took about half an hour before he let him leave.

"Wen Zong, do you think he will go to Chang'an honestly?" Wang Wenzuo asked suddenly.

"The dragon landed on the shore, and the goshawk broke its wings. Even though Gao Zang is a hero, what can he do in such a situation?" Cao Wenzong sighed.

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Others regard Chang'an as heaven and earth, but to heroes, what is the difference between it and a prison?"

As Wang Wenzuo's personal bodyguard, Cao Wenzong can be said to be one of the few people who understand him best in the world. He knew that the other party was talking about Gao Zang, but he was thinking about himself. He hesitated for a while and said: "This subordinate As you can see, the situation in Liaodong is such that the imperial court cannot leave Mr. Lang for a day!"

"Really?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Then I will lend you a good word!"

——————————————————————————————————

On July 668rd, 7 AD, Liaodong Province’s chief military commander appeased the ambassador, and the British Duke Li Ji led the Tang army’s main force to Pyongyang. But it reflected the sky like a sunny day, and later generations called it "the prosperity of Chinese masters and apprentices has never been seen in ancient times!"

King Gaozang of Goguryeo, Quanyuan Nanjian, Quanyuan Nanchan and other ministers all surrendered with white flags, and rehearsed the surrender ceremony before Wang Wenzuo.

"Old Shen, this Gaozang is really unlucky!" Cui Hongdu lowered his voice and said, "Surrender once in front of Sanlang with his upper body naked and hands tied behind his back. He will have to do it again when the chief executive comes!"

"There's no way to do this, the Duke of England is the pacifying ambassador!" Shen Faseng said while watching the play again and again: "Supposedly he surrendered to Saburo is not counted, of course he will do it again here!"

"So you have to come back to Chang'an again in front of the emperor?" Cui Hongdu asked.

"Of course, the sacrifice of captives was won in Taimiao! Back then, Baekje was destroyed. This time, the destruction of Goguryeo will only be more grand!" Shen Faseng said with a smile: "It is estimated that the emperor will reward the ministers, and the people of Chang'an will have breasts for three days!"

"Sure, Goguryeo is the great enemy of the two dynasties!" Cui Hongdu was talking vigorously, and suddenly he shouted: "Hey, hey! What's wrong, is there an assassination?"

"It wasn't an assassination, it was they who started the fight!" Shen Faseng said, "How did this happen? Hurry up, pull them away!"

Just as Shen Faseng said, the arena was already in chaos, and Nanyuan Quanyuan, whose leg injury was not healed, was allowed to participate in the ceremony with a cane. There was only one person between him and Gaozang—— Nanyuan Quanyuan From the very beginning, his eyes were fixed on Gao Zang's back, like a hyena staring at his prey.When the procession arrived in front of the generals of the Tang Army headed by Li Ji, and followed the chanting of the ceremonial officer next to him and bowed like a salute, he suddenly rushed up from behind, first hit Gao Zang on the back of the head with a crutch, and then knocked him down. Pressed on the ground, picked up a stone and hit it hard.The soldiers of the Tang Army on both sides of the chaos thought that someone was about to assassinate, and they rushed to block their generals behind them. After a while, they realized that something was wrong, and rushed forward to separate the two, only to find that Gao Zang's head was broken. Blood and brain plasma flowed horizontally, his breathing was already weak, and he was unconscious.

"You idiots!" Xue Rengui blushed with anger, pointing at the captain on duty and yelling, "Such a thing happened in front of the chief executive? Fortunately, he is not an assassin. What if he is an assassin?"

"Damn it!" The captain on duty kowtowed like garlic: "The subordinates have searched them all before that, and everyone has no iron on them, just because the boy who gave birth to Quanyuan has an arrow in his thigh. Injured and bad for walking, so I was given a crutch!"

"Can't a crutch kill someone?"

"Okay!" Li Ji stopped Xue Rengui's yelling, and said to the captain, "Bring that Quanyuan man over here, I have something to ask him!"

"Abiding by the order!" The school captain hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned, and brought Quan Yuan over after a while. He looked at Li Ji and the others, and snorted coldly, standing still and not kneeling, with a stubborn expression on his face. .

"Kneel down!" shouted the captain beside him.

"That's all!" Li Ji waved his hand: "He has already regarded himself as a dead person after doing such things. Quan Yuan Nanchan, why did you kill Gao Zang?"

Nanyuan Quan saw Li Ji's words, and replied proudly: "Whoever defeats me will come and ask me!"

"Oh?" Li Ji said with a smile, "Then he asked you before you answered?" He pointed at Xue Rengui and said.

"He just happened to catch me!" Quan Yuannan said, "I was already defeated by then!"

"That makes sense!" Li Ji turned his gaze to Wang Wenzuo: "Captain Wang, I'm afraid I need you to ask me!"

Wang Wenzuo secretly said something was wrong, so he had to take a step forward: "I am Wang Wenzuo, will you answer my question?"

Nanyuan Quanyuan looked Wang Wenzuo up and down, and nodded: "Although you broke Pyongyang City because of luck, you did defeat our brothers. Do you have any questions?"

"Why did you kill him!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to Gao Zang who was lying on the ground: "In any case, he is also your king, right? Wouldn't it be regicide if you killed him?"

"King?" Nanyuan Quan smiled and said, "There is no king in Goguryeo who begs for surrender. I kill him but kill a dog ear. How can we talk about killing the king?"

"Then let's not mention this for now, then you killed him because of the sacrifice of the city?"

"That's right!" Quan Yuannan nodded, "I only wish I hadn't killed him earlier. Also, I heard that when he dedicated the city, he begged for a state to guard the ancestral temple. Although I don't know if you will agree to him, But if you agree, wouldn’t it mean that we will go to Chang’an as a prisoner, while he stays here and becomes king? Absolutely no way!”

Wang Wenzuo asked a few more questions, and felt that there was nothing more to ask, so he turned around and returned to Li Ji.Li Ji nodded as if nothing had happened, indicating that the surrender ceremony would continue.Although the rest of the ceremony followed the talisman, everyone was agitated by the sudden change, and the original grand and festive atmosphere had long since disappeared.

——————————————————————————————————————

"What? Will the Goguryeo people be moved back to the country?"

Not only Wang Wenzuo, but most of the people in the field showed a look of surprise.It is true that after the country was destroyed, it was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty to force its citizens to move back to the country to fill the household registration of prefectures and counties. The Tang Dynasty also did this after the destruction of Baekje, but today is different from the past. The peninsula and even the Japanese archipelago have no visible enemies, and they are fully capable of sticking to this place. Forcing the relocation of local people is tantamount to forcibly creating factors of instability.

"You have all seen what happened today!" Li Ji said: "Goguryeo's hearts are still in the air. If the army retreats, I'm afraid there will be more troubles. Governor Wang, you should not forget what happened in Baekje back then, right?"

After being named by Li Ji, Wang Wenzuo had no choice but to respond: "What the chief executive said is true, but who do you plan to relocate?"

"Qiang Zonghaoyou, artisans, officials, civil and military generals, and military households have all moved away!"

"Then what's left here? Isn't there only savages farming?" Wang Wenzuo slandered.
