Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Why don't you dare?"

"Can you say that again!"

"Guo is willing to enter the city alone to declare to you the will of the emperor of Tang Dynasty."

"Do you really dare to come? Aren't you afraid that a certain family will be against you?"

"I'm not afraid, but I don't know if General Sun has the guts to let me enter the city?"

"In Liaodong City, I have an army of [-] in Goguryeo. No matter how powerful you are, Qin Guogong, you are only one person. Will I be afraid of you? It's just a joke!"

"Then let's go into the city and discuss in detail."

"How courageous! Come, someone, put a hanging basket down, and bring Qin Guogong up."

"Yes!"

……

After six years, re-entering Liaodong City really gave Guo Ye a sense of right and wrong.Although the former Liaodong City was regarded as an important military town, there were also many ordinary people, and various business shops in the city were also considered prosperous.

But now, as far as the eye can see, they are all officers and soldiers of Goguryeo, not a single commoner.As for all buying and selling shops, they are all closed.

Guo Ye said: "City Lord Sun, with all due respect, your Liaodong City is not well managed. Where are the people in the city?"

"Hmph, it's not all thanks to your Tang Dynasty!" Sun Daiyin said in a deep voice: "It is considered as powerful to have a hundred thousand troops stationed in Liaodong City. In order to accommodate these soldiers and horses, those common people can only be driven out of the city."

"Hehe, it's you Goguryeo people who drive people away, and it has nothing to do with us in Tang Dynasty."

"Qin Guogong, you are making too much sense. If you, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, invaded my territory without reason, why would I drive the people out of the city in Liaodong City?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said: "This city was originally called Xiangping City, which is the homeland of my Han family. It was only occupied by Goguryeo in the sixth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and renamed Liaodong City. Let me ask you, remember when you Goguryeo captured Xiangping City At that time, can the city lord move all the people in the city?"

"Of course not. But that's because your China is strong and our Goguryeo is weak. If China loses this city, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. If I lose this city in Goguryeo, I'm afraid that everything north of the Yalu River will be lost. Therefore, I, Goguryeo, can't do it." Do not make such a move.”

Guo Ye didn't argue after listening, bowed and said: "The people suffer because the Tang Dynasty is strong and Goguryeo is weak. So it turns out that someone Guo has been educated."

"You..." The meanings of the same words are quite different when they are said from one's own mouth and from the innermost part of the enemy.

Sun Daiyin took a deep breath and said, "Duke Qin didn't come here to humiliate me, Goguryeo, did he?"

"Where, where, City Lord Sun misunderstood. Someone Guo was ordered to announce the decree, which was only aimed at City Lord Sun, and had nothing to do with Goguryeo."

"Could it be that Duke Qin came here to persuade City Lord Sun to surrender?" A voice said in a dark voice.

Guo Ye turned his head and saw that the speaker was a veteran behind Sun Daiyin.He asked, "Who are you?"

"Bucai Wenshamen is the great history of Liaodong City."

"Hmph, I'm talking to City Lord Sun, how can you, a little Chang Shi, have room to talk?"

Wen Shamen curled his mouth and said, "Do I have the right to speak? It doesn't count if you say it. It only counts when the Lord Sun says it. Sun Daiyin, do you think this old man has the right to speak?"

Sun Daiyin smiled bitterly and said, "So that Qin Guogong can learn that Old General Wen is not only the Zhangshi of Liaodong City, but also his father-in-law."

"This..." Guo Ye bowed and said, "It seems that Mr. Guo has lost sight of Mount Tai. Back then, City Lord Sun and I were always called brothers. In this way, you are still my elder. Uncle Wen , the kid just said nothing, so I apologize to you here."

"I can't afford the great gift from Duke Qin!" Wen Shamen snorted coldly, and said, "Stop trying to get close to me, let me tell you, there is no way for us to surrender Liaodong City without a fight!"

Guo Ye wanted to say more, he had already arrived outside the gate of the city lord's mansion.Sun Daiyin said: "This is not a place to talk. If Qin Guogong has anything to say, let's talk in the mansion."

"That's fine too."

After entering the city lord's mansion, the guests and hosts are seated separately.

Guo Ye said: "City Lord Sun, it has been six years since we last met? Thinking about it now, it really seems like yesterday."

Before Sun Daiyin could speak, Wen Shamen said loudly: "Don't punish those useless people, just say what you did for it, do you want to persuade my uncle to surrender?"

"This..." Guo Ye said: "General Sun, I have a few words, I want to talk to you alone."

"No need, Mr. Sun can definitely trust his father-in-law."

"Okay then." Guo Ye said: "To be honest, someone Guo really came to persuade you to surrender. You also said just now that my Tang Dynasty is strong and Goguryeo is weak. It is wise for you to abandon Goguryeo and surrender to my Tang Dynasty." !"

"I don't like to hear Qin Guogong say this. There is a saying in your Tang Dynasty that a loyal minister does not serve two masters, and a strong daughter does not marry a second husband. My grandson's family has been favored by the country, so how can it be possible to betray the country and surrender to the enemy?"

Guo Ye had a sarcasm on his face, and said: "The world has received the favor of the country? But I don't know if your Sun family received the favor from the Gao family or the Yuan family?"

"This...well. Even if you don't talk about loyalty, Mr. Sun is the Lord of Liaodong City and has the responsibility to guard the land. There is a saying that a good man protects the three villages, and a good dog protects the three neighbors. I can't be worse than a dog and surrender without a fight. Bar?"

"Your words are even more unreasonable. The people in Liaodong City have been driven away by you, and all the troops are stationed in the city, but who is it that General Sun is guarding? I'm afraid it's just the Jiangshan Sheji built by Yuan Nan? "

"Even if I am the guardian of Yuan's family, so what? Anyway, I have been paid by Yuan Nanjian for several years. Even if I am entrusted by someone, can I be loyal?"

"Yes, of course. But the question is, can you keep it? Two or three years of salary, is it worth your life?"

Sun Daiyin said: "Qin Guogong's words are unreasonable. Thinking that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty could not defeat Liaodong City with a million troops, you Tang Emperor can break through with less than 20 troops? I am afraid that someone Sun defended Liaodong City. Risking your life."

"Emperor Sui Yang couldn't break through Liaodong City because of your false surrender!"

"But at the same time, Liaodong City didn't have 10 troops defending it at that time. I think we only had [-] defenders and [-] people in Liaodong City. We resisted Emperor Sui Yang's million-strong army for more than three months. Such a method cannot be summed up in the word "surrender."

Sun Daiyin answered fluently, and Guo Ye knew that it would be impossible if he didn't have a trump card.

He said: "City Lord Sun, have you ever thought about what reward Yuan Nanjian will give you if you really defend Liaodong City?"

"What reward?"

"Three things."

"Which Sanyo?"

"Three feet of white silk, a glass of poisoned wine, and a dagger!"

"Could it be that you think that Sun is the master of meritorious service if he can guard Liaodong City? It's a joke!"

"Defending Liaodong City is not a high-caliber master." Guo Ye said, "However, I really don't understand why Yuan Nanjian didn't kill you."

"How do you say this?"

"The original Goguryeo was actually an alliance of five tribes. After such a toss in recent years, the Goguryeo and Eulji clans have been killed, and the Yang family has established itself in Seoul. Now only the so-called five major tribes in Goguryeo are left. You Sun family and Yuan family."

At this point, Guo Ye suddenly remained silent.

Sun Daiyin said in a deep voice, "So what?"
