Chapter 384: Surrender (II)
"What was the result? Envoy, I think that after you go back, you have already told Gao Zang everything Benhou said, right? Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Zang's envoy and said.
The envoy bowed slightly and responded: "Yes, my king agrees to the request made by the Hou Ye, but my king also wants to make an agreement with the Hou Ye in three chapters." ”
"Chapter 3 of the Covenant? Oh, fresh, let's hear it. Xuan Shijing asked with interest.
"After the Hou Ye enters the city, he must not plunder the goods in the city, must not condone the soldiers to bully the people in the city, and must not endanger the lives of the people in the city." Takazo's envoy said.
"This Ben Hou can promise, for Ben Hou, a little property, not as valuable as my Tang Erlang's life, but it can't just be your unilateral agreement, if the people in the city provoke the soldiers in my battalion, then their life and death, Ben Hou can't control it." Xuan Shijing said: "If there is any other mistake after Benhou enters the city, endangering the lives of Benhou and the soldiers in my battalion, then don't blame Benhou for being ruthless." ”
"Hou Ye, don't worry, the king has promised Hou Ye to send 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city to camp ten miles outside the city, and naturally there will be nothing in the city that can threaten Hou Ye." The envoy replied.
"Ben Hou is just saying ugly things in front of him, and the envoy only needs to know this." Xuan Shijing said.
The envoy nodded, meaning that he understood what Xuan Shijing said.
"In that case, the envoy will go back to Gozang, and tomorrow, after noon, the Marquis will lead a large army to Pyongyang City, hoping to see the Treasure King outside the city."
"Yes, Master Hou." The envoy saluted and answered.
Chang Le sent the envoy out of the barracks, and then went straight back to Xuan Shijing's tent.
"Master Hou, tomorrow afternoon, General Su Dingfang's army will be able to reach Pyongyang City, and your timing is really accurate." Chang Le said.
"I have to be sure, the lives of more than 20,000 people are in the hands of Ben Hou, and the surrender is a great benefit to us, but behind the benefits, there are always hidden risks, and now the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city are stationed outside the city, which is already the biggest risk to be eliminated, and the remaining corners, Ben Hou has also told the envoys of Gaozang to let him go back and pass a word, so as not to let some people still weigh and weigh how to make trouble after we enter the city." Xuan Shijing said: "Three chapters of the law, hehe, interesting. ”
"Hou Ye thinks that there are three chapters of the law between Gao Zang and Hou Ye, and there are a lot of articles in it?" Chang Le asked.
"Who knows? He didn't worry about Ben Hou, and Ben Hou didn't worry about him, so both sides were tempting, acting cautiously, and being careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years. Hyun Shijing said: "Send all the scouts in the camp out to surround Pyongyang City to investigate all sides, and you need to be careful not to leak your whereabouts." ”
"Yes." Chang Le replied.
The next morning, the Tang army began to prepare to set off for the outside of Pyongyang, and the scouts came back to report that in the early morning, the gates of Pyongyang City were opened, and all the 50,000 troops in the city left the city, walked towards the outside of the city, and began to set up camp ten miles outside Pyongyang, and Su Dingfang's army had already set out of camp and began to set off towards Pyongyang City, and they would arrive at Pyongyang City in about the afternoon.
Xuan Shijing put on his armor, mounted his horse, and set off towards Pyongyang City with more than 20,000 Liaodong troops, holding high the black Xuanzi banner, showing his identity as the commander of the army.
In the camp of the Tang army, Fang Shu took 500 soldiers to stay in the camp, and there were 5,000 Liaodong troops on the way to Daxing City, it is estimated that they will arrive after the afternoon today, Fang Shu will take people to meet in the camp, Quan boy and several of his entourage also stayed in the camp, and now the old place is revisited, Quan boy has no intention of entering the city, I don't know if there is a little guilt about Goguryeo in his heart, so that he is unwilling to face Gaozang, unwilling to face Quan Nanjian.
Although it is a struggle for fame and fortune, but after all, it is a national crisis, he chose to escape, he has become a coward, and now what face does he have to face the old people in Pyongyang?
Outside the city of Pyongyang, Gaozang and all the nobles in the city were waiting outside the city gate, but in the crowd, he did not see Quan Nanjian.
Hyun Se-kyung rode at the head of the procession and came to the gate of Pyongyang City, looking condescendingly at Gao Zang and the nobles in the city.
The eunuch beside Gao Zang was holding a tray in his hand, and what was placed on the tray was the royal seal representing the supreme power of Goguryeo.
"The treasure king can be so knowledgeable, Ben Hou is very pleased, I wanted to come to the envoy and the treasure king also told the treasure king, Ben Hou agreed to the treasure king's proposal of the three chapters, but before entering the city, Ben Hou still has to say to the treasure king, agreed, Ben Hou will abide by it, but Ben Hou does not want it, after entering the city, there will be people in the city to make trouble, if this is the point, the treasure king can not guarantee, then the agreement between you and Ben Hou will be as if it has not happened." Xuan Shijing said.
"Master Hou, please rest assured." Takazo said.
Xuan Shijing nodded, and then dismounted, and the little eunuch beside Gao Zang handed the tray to Gao Zang, and after Gao Zang took it, he dedicated it to Xuan Shijing.
Hyun Se-kyung took the royal seal, which symbolized the highest power of Goguryeo, from Gao Zang's hand, looked at it, and gave it to Chang Le next to him to keep it.
"In this case, let's go into the city, and after entering the city, we will do the handover of the detailed things." Xuan Shijing said.
"Master Hou, please." Gao Zang turned sideways and motioned for Xuan Shijing to ask first.
Xuan Shijing stepped on horseback, rode a horse, and entered the city of Pyongyang with 20,000 Liaodong troops.
Fang Xuan Shijing began to do a lot from afar, but he didn't find Quan Nanjian in the crowd, but when he was talking to Gao Zang, he didn't ask about Quan Nanjian's traces, he didn't know, but he left a trace of vigilance in his heart.
This Quan Nanjian can compete with Gao Zang and force the Quan boy to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be easy to go anywhere, although he is a little ignorant of the overall situation, but such a person is the most dangerous for Xuan Shijing.
Hyun Se-kyung led his troops into Pyongyang City and took over all the defenses in Pyongyang City, including the royal palace.
Gao Zang followed Xuan Shijing and came to the palace, Xuan Shijing found a place to sit down in the main hall of the palace, and Chang Le stood behind Xuan Shijing.
"Now that Ben Hou has taken over Pyongyang City, Ben Hou still needs to know about the specific situation in this city, and this Pyongyang City should have a government office, right?" Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Zang and asked.
"Master Hou rest assured, all the materials have been prepared, and the people from the palace are about to be sent to the palace." Takazo said.
"Good." Xuan Shijing responded.
