Chapter 1164: Bargaining
Liu Shilong snorted heavily and looked at Yuwenshu: "Marshal Yuwen, do you know that Your Majesty has given General Wang the authority to grant the envoy?" ”
The corners of Yu Wenshu's mouth hooked, as a general, he originally did not have the authority to negotiate peace or surrender privately, especially in the absence of Liu Shilong, who was surrendered to the enemy, and negotiated peace with the enemy, to say that it was a collaborator who could make a big fuss, but it seems that Liu Shilong is now more interested in Wang Shichong, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and said with a smile: "This, Ben Shuai has not heard that Wang Shichong has the authority to negotiate and surrender, he was just ordered to escort military rations to Qi County to relieve the victims, Then he chose his strength to cross the sea as a backup for the army of Hu'er, but I had never heard of him becoming a surrendered envoy. ”
Liu Shilong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Even if he really has the right to surrender, it is impossible for Laihu'er's army to directly accept the surrender of the king of Goguryeo. ”
Yizhi Wende shook his head: "There is no such thing, Wang Shichong said that he has the secret decree of His Majesty the Emperor and can accept the peace of our army, I think, he will not joke with his own head." ”
Yu Wenshu's heart suddenly raised, although Wang Shichong's civilian position is only that of a squire, and his military position is no more than a general of Hu Benlang, not a high-ranking official, but he knows that Yang Guang is extremely important to this person, maybe he will really give him some secret decree, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Yizhi, you first tell me what conditions this General Wang has set for you." Also, how can you surrender to your own men when you have already defeated Laihu'er and trapped her in the beach camp? ”
The corners of Yizhi Wende's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, I don't hide this from Xu Guogong." Although our army won a lucky victory in the city of Pyongyang. I really want to take advantage of the big victory. In one fell swoop, the Sui army that crossed the sea was driven into the sea, but the Sui army's beach camp was tightly defended, and the formation was secretly combined. Marshal Yuwen's main army was pressing forward step by step, so in a hurry, the king of my family first came to the general's camp to discuss peace. ”
Yu Wenshu said softly: "Is this Wang Shichong who negotiated peace with you?" What about Hu'er, he is the commander of the whole army, why didn't he negotiate terms with you? ”
Eulzhi Wende smiled: "I heard that General Lai was seriously injured in Pyongyang City, and when I went to the camp, I didn't see him, and General Zhou Fashang Zhou, I heard that he was also injured by an arrow when our army attacked the camp, and he didn't come out." The person who met me at that time was Wang Shichong. ”
Yu Wenshu gasped: "What." Now the army that comes to protect children is taken over by Wang Shichong? ”
Yizhi Wende sighed: "Yes, our army has been attacking for many days, and the Sui army's defense line is close to collapse, but just five days ago, a new group of new Sui army troops crossed the sea, I heard that it was Zhang Xutuo, the county of Qi County, who led an army of 50,000 to urgently come to help, in this case, it is impossible for our army to break through the Sui army camp, and we can only consider the matter of peace." Marshal Yuwen, I said so, do you understand? ”
Liu Shilong said coldly: "Lord Eulji, what is your intention in exposing your Goguryeo's secrets like this? Do you think that by winning our trust in this way, you can get better terms of surrender? ”
Eozhi Wende smiled slightly: "The words have already explained, there is no need to hide anything in the next, now this battle is very clear, I Goguryeo has no possibility of victory, the king has instructed us courtiers to negotiate the conditions of surrender, and those of us who are courtiers also have to consider the way out in the future." Anyway, it's down, to whom, and how, that's what I'm interested in now. ”
Liu Shilong smiled and shook his head: "Lord Yizhi, didn't you say that Wang Shichong gave you better conditions?" What conditions did he prescribe? ”
Yizhi Wende Zhengse said: "The condition given by Wang Shichong is that my Goguryeo ceded the land of Liaodong, and the king will personally enter the Sui to apologize, compensate the Sui army for the military expenses of 100,000 yuan, and sacrifice 30,000 beauties to the labor army, in addition, the prince must personally enter the Sui as a hostage, and the size of the army shall not exceed 100,000." At this point, he paused, and continued, "There is also the long-term stationing of 50,000 Sui troops outside Pyongyang, which should be supplied and borne by Goguryeo. ”
Yuwen Shu said coldly: "But keep your king's throne and promise not to destroy the country, right?" ”
Yizhi Wende nodded: "Exactly, so although these conditions are harsh, they are much more lenient than the conditions proposed by Xu Guogong just now, Liu Shangshu, if you are a genuine envoy of surrender, what conditions can you give us?" ”
Liu Shilong glanced at Yuwenshu and said expressionlessly: "As a surrendered envoy, I have the supreme order, the supreme has a will, all the soldiers and civilians of the cities of Goguryeo, if there is a surrender of the city and return to the capital of the heavenly soldiers, they must ensure their personal safety, as for how to deal with it, in the end, only the Son of Heaven can make it, especially the punishment for Gao Yuan and the five masters of Goguryeo, which must be decided by Your Majesty." ”
Eulzhi Wende's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "This condition is not as good as what Xu Guogong gave just now, if it is this condition, I am afraid that I, Goguryeo, will not say that it is the king, even if I am a nobleman, it is impossible to surrender." ”
Liu Shilong said coldly: "If you don't surrender, you will continue to fight, that is Marshal Yuwen's business, and this official just tells you the Goguryeo people truthfully about the conditions that can be given within the authority of this official." ”
Yizhi Wende's eyes rolled, changed to a smiling face, and said, "Then aren't you afraid that we will surrender to Wang Shichong instead?" ”
Liu Shilong shook his head: "This official doesn't know how Wang Shichong could give such a condition, but as far as this official knows, His Majesty did not give him this kind of authorization, if he is an edict and negotiates peace privately, then any agreement you reach with him will not be recognized by His Majesty in the future." ”
Ezhi Wende's eyes sparkled, and he could see that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, Yuwenshu's heart moved, and he sneered: "Lord Ezhi, you yourself are also weak in your heart, you don't believe that this Wang Shichong has such authority, so you came to contact our army." ”
Yizhi Wende was silent, beads of sweat began to ooze from his head, Yuwenshu strengthened his opinion, and said with a smile: "That's it, Wang Shichong is a person, he has always been a maverick, he doesn't act according to common sense, he is a reinforcement manager, and when he is in danger, don't say it's to grab merit, just to protect himself, not to be destroyed, he will also shout all over the sky, as long as he can trick you into surrendering to him, he can atone for his sins in front of the Supreme in the future, as for whether those conditions will be complied with, only God knows." ”
Yizhi Wende suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Then my king has fallen, what can I do?" (To be continued.) )
