Xue Rengui nodded, he definitely wanted to fight.

Xiangcheng looked at him and murmured: "Rengui, you have finished mentioning your relatives, but Yinhuan is still waiting for you at Longmen?"

"It's good for you, I can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately. Have you thought about Yinhuan?"

"Hehe..." Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, I am mainly here to protect the young master. If such a big thing happens, the young master will definitely go."

"As the young master's personal guard, this is my unshirkable responsibility."

"When we return triumphantly from Goguryeo, we will marry Yinhuan, double happiness."

After hearing the news, Xiangcheng couldn't be happier.

"Husband, do you have to go?"

"I'm already pregnant. If I tell my father, my father will definitely allow you not to go."

Qin Mu shook his head, "How can I do that?"

"My Qin Mu's life is my life, and the lives of tens of millions of soldiers in my Tang Dynasty are not my life?"

"If the firearms go out to battle without my command, it will definitely increase the casualties of the Tang army."

"Ma'am, every soldier in the Tang Dynasty was raised by his father and mother, with flesh and blood. My life, Qin Mu, is no more valuable than theirs."

"As soon as the battle is fought, I will be responsible for the lives of the soldiers. As the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, I have the obligation to bring them back to the Tang Dynasty safely."

Mention it.

Qin Mu spoke decisively and refused to budge an inch.

The people in Xiangcheng also understood Qin Mu's thoughts, he didn't have to take credit for it, but Qin Mu cared about the lives of the soldiers of the three armies.

Wu Jue comforted from the side: "Sister, now that the Tang Dynasty has millions of troops and firearms, you don't need to charge forward. Don't worry, with the protection of benevolence, who can hurt your husband?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Xue Rengui echoed, "Don't worry, no one can hurt the young master with me."

Hearing everyone's relief, Xiangcheng thought a lot.

Chapter 811: King Rongliu's Response (1/5)

Zhenguan six years, the third day of April.

Warblers fly and grass grows, and spring returns to the earth.

Goguryeo.

Pyongyang.

Royal Palace.

Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu looked at the ashes of Gao Dajin and Gao Dajin in the hall, his face was gloomy and his eyes were cold.

Originally, Cui Hetong wanted to bring the bodies of Gao Dajin back to Goguryeo.

However, the journey was long, and the bodies of the two of them became stinky halfway.

He had no choice but to burn the body and put it in a jar.

boom!

Gao Jianwu kicked over the copybook in front of him, stood up, and said angrily, "Cui Hetong! What's going on here!"

"Emperor Tang, did he really refuse to form an alliance with me, Goguryeo? Did he, Li Shimin, really think that he could sweep the kingdoms! He killed my Goguryeo envoy because of a pariah, so he really didn't take me seriously!"

Cui Hetong prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over.

If he told Gao Jianwu that Qin Mu said that his life was not as good as that of a prostitute in the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely go crazy.

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this..."

Cui Hetong knelt on the ground and recounted Gao Jianwu's murder and court affairs to Gao Jianwu one by one, exaggerating in some places and trivializing in others.

It not only aroused Gao Jianwu's anger, but also left himself completely, so as not to harm Chi Yu.

listened to him.

Gao Jianwu was naturally furious, his face was filled with anger.

He did not expect that Datang despised Goguryeo to such an extent.

Kill the envoys, refuse diplomacy, drive Cui Hetong out of the Tang Dynasty, and ask him to return the Han captives! ?

"Too much deception, simply too much deception!"

"What did Li Shimin think of me as Goguryeo!? What did he think of as King Ben!?"

in the temple.

The civil and military courtiers looked at the furious Gao Jianwu, bowed their heads and remained silent.

Recently, because of the matter of Lu Yuangai Suwen.

Gao Jianwu never went a day without losing his temper.

Today this is fueling the fire.

Not only did Yuan Gai Suwen look down on him, but even Li Er also looked down on him.

This made Gao Jianwu very angry.

"Come here! Take those Han captives and give them all to be killed by this king! This king will let Li Shimin get nothing!"

Gao Jianwu roared.

He originally wanted to conquer Silla and Baekje in the south through the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty.Use external contradictions to transfer internal contradictions.

Unexpectedly, Li Er stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to be impulsive. Today's Great Tang is not what it used to be. From Japan in the east to Turks in the west, all of them have already been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty."

"It's better not to anger Li Shimin, Your Majesty, don't forget that the disaster of Goguryeo is not abroad, but in the court."

Yu Zhe (official title) Gao Hongsheng stood up and tried to persuade him.

Gao Hongsheng is Gao Jianwu's uncle, a second-rank official, under the great opponent Lu Yuangai Suwen, the core figure of the Monarch Faction.

"Then what should we do!" Gao Jianwu flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Could it be possible that I really want this king to take the captives and send them back to Li Shimin!"

"Where is the face of this king!? Where is the face of Goguryeo!?"

Gao Hongsheng persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to save face. Take back the military power, capture Silla and Baekje, and unify the Koguryo Peninsula. Naturally, Your Majesty will have face, and Li Shimin will think highly of him."

"But if internal and external troubles coexist and Goguryeo is declining day by day, even if diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty are established, it will not help."

Although what he said was not very nice.

But not rude.

To be honest, today's Gao Jianwu is not qualified to lose his temper.

Raising Yuan Gai Su Wen, a fierce tiger, almost ruined his throne.

I heard this.

Gao Jianwu took a deep breath and sighed angrily.

Ugh......

He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point today.

"Uncle Huang, how should the king respond? Should he humbly return the captives to Datang?"

"This king is really not reconciled!"

Gao Jianwu is also difficult enough.

Although Yuangai Suwen's power in Goguryeo is getting stronger day by day.

But Gao Jianwu is Goguryeo orthodox after all.

He thought about fighting Silla and Baekje and consuming Yeongaesumun's military power.

On the one hand, he established diplomatic relations with Datang, and when necessary, asked Datang for help at any cost, and destroyed Yuan Gai Su Wen.

That's fine.

The fox was not caught, and even made a fuss.

Gao Hongsheng frowned, and muttered: "Your Majesty, the disasters in Goguryeo's country are only temporary, but the relationship with Tang Dynasty is for a lifetime."

"It's not a good thing for the old minister to say, but with the current national strength of Goguryeo, do we have the qualifications to challenge Datang!?"

As he spoke, his words were firm and swearing, beyond doubt.

All the officials in the palace nodded their heads in agreement. Although these words arouse the ambition of others, they destroy their prestige.

But that's what it is.

I heard this.

Gao Jianwu sighed again, although he didn't want to accept it, he obviously agreed with it.

"OK then."

"Take the Han captives and gather them in Liaodong City."

"If Li Shimin does not participate in the battle of Silla and Baekje, this king can consider returning the captives."

Up to now, Gao Jianwu has no other choice but to follow Gao Hongsheng's advice.

at the same time.

The messenger enters the court.

"My Majesty, Liaodong has changed. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops are gathering at Huaiyuan City on the border of Liaodong."

"The leader of the army is Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was shocked.

"The Tang army is gathering on the border of my Goguryeo? Or is it hundreds of thousands of troops? Is it clear that they want to take advantage of the emptiness behind our country to launch a sneak attack!?"

"Hey... This is going to be difficult. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops have sent troops to our Liaodong area. Silla and Baekje haven't started a war yet. Don't let the Tang army steal Liaodong."

"Yuan Gai Suwen's army has arrived at the border of Baekje. If the king is forced to go north to resist the Tang army, it is equivalent to surrendering the throne to Yuan Gai Suwen."

"Yes, yes. The Tang army is an iron-blooded army that swept across the world. My Goguryeo army may not be able to compete with it. In my opinion, it is better to reconcile."

Hundreds of officials in the palace discussed and expressed their opinions, but most of them were pessimistic.

Gao Jianwu was even more confused.

The Tang army has already sent troops to the frontier of Liaodong! ?

This shows that as soon as Cui Hetong left Chang'an, Li Er had already issued an order to assemble in Liaodong.

at the same time.

Gao Jianwu ran into the court hall and kicked Cui Hetong to the ground.

"Bastard, how did you become a bad guy!?"

"As an envoy to the Great Tang, don't you even know about such a big event as the Great Tang gathering Liaodong!?"

"Come on, give this bastard to this king and cut him off! Cut him off!"

at this time.

Gao Jianwu was furious.

Just after he was persuaded by Gao Hongsheng, Datang had joined Liaodong, which dealt him a great blow.

Cui Hetong was even more confused, not knowing why.

He was just glad that his little life was saved.

Before this had time to be happy, bad news came.

"Injustice!"

"Your Majesty! The villain is wronged! Your Majesty!"

"The villain really didn't know that the Tang Dynasty would send troops, so the emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't tell the villain, my lord!"
