Chapter 468 Envoys from the Two Countries

Except for the land around the capital, officials from all over Goguryeo have surrendered. Li Xiang has not touched them for the time being, mainly because after taking them down, he cannot send local officials at all. However, Li Xiang has already given the city to Chang'an. I wrote a letter and asked them to send a large number of local officials. From now on, Goguryeo will be the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The answer came soon. After the Tang army surrounded Goguryeo for seven days, reinforcements came from the south. These people were not here to support the Tang Dynasty. Although they were vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, these people came to mediate. of.

The so-called mediation means that when two countries are at war, a third country sends troops and does not participate in the war, but has a certain influence near the battlefield. To put it bluntly, it wants to act as a middleman to persuade both parties to stop the war. This was Gae Yeon So-moon's last move. A lifesaver.

Gai Yuan Suwen has already written to the monarchs of the two countries, hoping that they can intervene in this matter. If the two of them let it go, the Tang army will definitely occupy the entire Goguryeo, and then the Tang army will be close to them. , according to the expansion ideas of the Tang Dynasty army, these two countries will definitely not have a good life.

The monarchs of the two countries are not fools. Although Goguryeo often bullies them, at least they have no intention of destroying them, let alone the ability to destroy them. But if Goguryeo is occupied by the Tang Dynasty, then it will be in the form of a tiger and a rabbit. The Tang Dynasty will be at any time. They could be swallowed up in one go, so while the Tang Dynasty had not yet gained a firm foothold, the two countries each sent 30,000 troops to mediate.

"Are they crazy? Do they really think we don't dare to fight? We are just digesting the territory we occupied. They take themselves too seriously. With the combined strength of their two countries, they dare to fight against us. Our army of the Tang Dynasty really treats itself as a piece of cake when it comes to pointing fingers."

Niu Jinda read the joint letter sent by the monarchs of the two countries. He really didn't know what to say. It doesn't matter if you overestimate yourself, but you can't underestimate our Tang army. They came from the north of Goguryeo and stretched for almost a thousand miles. , do we have an interesting delay? With your 60,000 troops, can you stop us?

"People from these two countries have never seen our power. If they have seen our power, then there are some things that we don't need to explain. We might as well start attacking the city before they have a firm foothold." , and threw a few artillery shells into their military camp, I really don’t believe it. Is it possible that their flesh and skin are harder than the cannonballs?”

Su Dingfang is also eager to give it a try. He thought that after taking the capital of Goguryeo, the chances of fighting might be less. Now two more people have come looking for a fight, so we might as well give him this opportunity. Anyway, a fight is a fight, a fight. I beat him too.

"What do you think, General?"

Li Xiang looked at General Li Jing next to him. Although he was the commander this time, General Li Jing was the commander in chief of the march. They did not interfere with Li Xiang's command along the way, but they should have the due respect, not to mention this is a military camp. .

General Li Jing is like the Taishan Beidou in the military camp. If you make a decision without asking his opinion, then you will be ruined in the army.

"Report to Your Highness, people from the two southern countries are here..."

General Li Jing hasn't answered yet. Soldiers have already come to report at the door. It seems that people from the two southern countries also understand that they must see Li Xiang before the war. If the war starts, there will probably be no room for maneuver. .

"Anyway, we have to meet again. These two countries are still our vassal states. Their envoys have not left the Tang Dynasty yet. It will probably take a while before they can board the ship. If we can't reach an agreement after meeting, then It’s easy to talk about some things, but if he disappears, we will be in trouble if the news spreads in the future.”

Regarding some diplomatic matters, Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda don't understand, but General Li Jing is a mature man and puts all the blame on others. We have done everything we should do, so naturally no one will find him. Troublesome.

"Then just listen to the general and bring them up."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he returned to the main seat. Everyone else also sat in their seats. As for the envoys of the two countries, there were no seats prepared for them. You are just ministers of the vassal country. Here with me No seats yet.

"The humble minister Gao Mo, the humble minister Li Tan, see your highness."

Two people came into the tent. The older one on the left was Gao Mo from Silla Kingdom, and the younger one on the right was Li Tan from Baekje.

"Thank you for the hard work of the two envoys coming from afar. I just don't know what's going on with them coming to my camp. Now the army is about to attack, and I don't have much time to entertain you. If you have anything to say, just tell me. ."

Li Xiang said very indifferently, which also made the two people a little uncomfortable. After all, they were envoys representing a country.

Among them, Gao Mo had also been to Chang'an before, and he was treated with courtesy in Chang'an. However, after arriving at Li Xiang's place, he didn't even get much chance to speak, let alone the so-called courtesy.

If it weren't for the past, the two of them would definitely fight for their country, but now the situation is stronger than the others. The Tang Dynasty's 100,000 troops are ready to go. The capital of Goguryeo will definitely not be able to withstand it. Once the capital of Goguryeo is breached , then it is probably hard to say where the Tang army will go, so the two of them have a common goal, which is to persuade Datang to temporarily suspend its troops.

"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty still punished Goguryeo. Goguryeo also knew its mistakes. They were willing to donate a lot of land and people, and were willing to use all the money from the treasury to make up for their mistakes. Your Highness, please have mercy. …”

It seemed that Gao Mo was acting as a spokesman, but Li Xiang was not interested in what he said, and the generals around him shook their heads. Is this any different from what he said in Jiangbei? If we could accept it at that time, we would accept it. Now that the army has reached the city, you only have this city left. Do you want to repeat this again?

Li Tan also helped to talk and promoted the benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty. The two of them must have formulated the words well before they came. One person talked about the practical benefits, and the other put a high hat on the Tang Dynasty. If so If it were a marshal who was not pragmatic, he might have agreed, but Li Xiang is a man who sees practical benefits. Anyone can say this. If he is willing, my slave can say a hundred words to me, no more than Is what you say nice?
