Chapter 295: Fame and Benefits
So Gao Huanquan's daily life has a little more episode, that is, Xue Rengui likes to walk around the city of Anshi when he is idle, and he runs on Gao Huanquan by the way.
Gao Huanquan's life, except for growing up in Goguryeo when he was young, becoming an adult under Gao Jianwu's wings, and then he has been living as a proton in Chang'an, in the days of the Tang Dynasty, nothing else has been learned, and the problems of those noble children in Chang'an City are not falling, all of them are contaminated, at that time his identity is more special, although he is a proton, but how to say that he is also a prince of a country, in addition to Xuanshi, the sons and young masters of Chang'an also give this prince Rongliu a little face, Gao Huanquan also eats in Chang'an.
But now it's different, a dead prince, where did he come from, he was aggrieved in Anshi City, the city still borrowed the Tang Dynasty, where did he dare to have any temper in front of Xue Rengui, he could only receive Xue Rengui with a smile, and waited until Xue Rengui left, and then returned to the mansion to lose his temper.
This kind of day, he Gao Huanquan has had enough, he is stationed in the ice in Anshi City, there is no grain and grass, and he can only fight the autumn wind in the Goguryeo land around Liaodong, but this is only how many things, such a thing, not to mention losing the hearts of the people, and not to feed his garrison in Anshi City, there is no way, I can only be cheeky to go to Xue Rengui every year to ask for grain and grass.
This is not a simple matter of asking for food and grass, and at that time, not only Xue Rengui squeezed him, but even the military logistics of the Tang Army dared to give him a face.
Gao Huanquan also knew in his heart that he could only solve this problem if he defeated Quangai Suwen, took Pyongyang City, and restored the rule of the Gao family in Goguryeo.
So, as soon as the news of Pyongyang City came out that Quangai Suwen was not in good health, Gao Huanquan couldn't sit still.
"The war in Liaodong has started again, ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to say?"
In the early dynasty, His Majesty Li Er sat high on the top of the Taiji Palace, and his eyes swept over the many ministers standing in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now that Liaodong is stable, and Quangai Suwen has retreated to Pyongyang City, the Tang Dynasty has received more than three loads of land in Liaodong, and the northeast is stable, so it is not appropriate to use swords." The people from the official department stood up and said: "And after some time, the envoys of the northern Xue Yantuo tribe will arrive in Chang'an, and the northwest will be determined, and the army should rest and recuperate." ”
"I don't dare to agree." As soon as he heard that the people of the official department opposed Liaodong to fight again, Li Daozong stood up, but at the beginning, he took Xuanshi and five thousand elite soldiers to open the way, as a pioneer rushed to Liaodong, he was naturally concerned about the affairs of Liaodong, he did not want the vanguard army to open up the situation after all difficulties, now it is finally doing well, can take back more, but because of a few words from the Chinese courtiers of the court, he gave up the situation that has been fought now, and now the opportunity can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after this opportunity to want to use force against Goguryeo again, it is costly, But it's not the same number as it is now.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong is pacified, but Goguryeo is still controlled by Quangai Suwen, originally the Gao family was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and it was a subordinate subject of the Tang Dynasty, and now the Gao family was almost slaughtered by Quangai Suwen, Gao Huanquan lived in Anshi City, and now he is in conflict with Quangai Suwen, if the Tang Dynasty does not help, how can the small countries on the four sides dare to rely on the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he nodded slightly.
His Majesty Li Er's heart also hopes to send troops to fight, what he needs is just a high-sounding reason in the court, Goguryeo is not destroyed, after all, it is a thorn in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, as for what to do with the land after it is destroyed, whether to set up the capital protectorate or reward Gao Huanquan as a fief, that is also what the Tang Dynasty said.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Huanquan can fight with Quangai Suwen, and General Xue is in Liaodong, so it's not too late to stop and watch for a while before making a decision." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said.
What the eldest grandson Wuji said is also good for the Tang Dynasty, let Gao Huanquan and Quangai Suwen consume each other, if Gao Huanquan really can't beat it, let Xue Rengui bring Gao Huanquan back to Anshi City, cultivate for a while, and then fight.
In any case, all that is consumed is the strength of Goguryeo, which has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss it, it will not be easy to move Goguryeo in the future." Xuan Shi stood up and said: "Whether it is the morality of what the king of Jiangxia said, or the wait-and-see that the eldest grandson said, it is undoubtedly good for the Tang Dynasty, what the eldest grandson said, can greatly reduce the loss of the Tang Dynasty, but on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, how to develop in the future, no one can expect it, with soldiers, the minister thinks, it is better to seize the opportunity in front of him, the Tang Dynasty has a sharp weapon in hand, why worry about the strong city is not broken?" ”
"What Xuanhou said is true." The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's just that Xuanhou doesn't think that when Gao Huanquan and Quangai Suwen are almost fighting, wouldn't it be better for Datang to send troops again?" ”
"Whether it is governing the country or using soldiers, you can't escape two words, morality, this is a banner, a banner of justice, a banner of the king of the Tang Dynasty, a banner that must not fall." Xuan Shi's words were loud.
Like the eldest grandson Wuji, it can indeed minimize the consumption of Liaodong, but the practice is not moral, and it is okay to pick up ready-made cheap? What are the consequences of picking up a bargain? leveled Goguryeo and picked up the cheap of Gao Huanquan, and in the end, the original territory of the Gao family in the area of Goguryeo Pyongyang City is estimated to have to be given to the Gao family, and it is estimated that it will be given to Gao Huanquan, who has made great efforts and made great contributions in this war, after all, the people are justifiable.
But if the Tang Dynasty takes the lion's head in this war, it will be different, flatten Goguryeo, and put the land of Goguryeo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, and when the time comes, give Gao Huanquan a high-grade vacant position, let him continue to stay in Pyongyang City, anyway, he can't make any waves, Liaodong still has Xue Rengui stationed, and after a few years, the land of Goguryeo can be fundamentally and completely owned by the Tang Dynasty, and after Gao Huanquan dies, his official position is not hereditary, as for the heirs, Just give a seat and fool around, and it's over.
This is fundamentally different in nature, if Goguryeo's old land is given to Gao Huanquan, it will be the private land of the Gao family, and Goguryeo still exists, right? Passed down from generation to generation, so what's the point of bothering to fight for Quangai Suwen?
What Datang wants is real benefits, land and wealth!
If Datang had raised troops to deal with Quangai Suwen when Gao Huanquan and Quangai Suwen had just started fighting, then in the end, although there was a slight loss, it would be moral and affordable, but it would be profitable.
