Mr. Quan and his son were kneeling outside the gate of the Tang Army's camp, trembling all over.
Just now, the Tang army killed five thousand Goguryeo soldiers in front of him and left no one alive.
Izumi clearly saw that after the war, the soldiers of the Tang army cleaned the battlefield with swords and halberds. When they saw the injured Goguryeo soldiers, no matter whether they were lightly or seriously injured, as long as they could breathe, they would kill them.
This was a clear plan to eliminate future troubles forever. Mr. Quan knew that Li Qinzai could not tolerate these five thousand Goguryeo troops. From the moment they followed him out of Cangyan City, these five thousand soldiers were actually destined to enter the gate of hell.
Kneeling in front of the camp gate, Mr. Quan suddenly wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
Yes, how could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty allow a leader of Goguryeo who was once an enemy to support his troops even after his surrender?
You must have an attitude of surrender when you surrender. Now that you have surrendered, just kneel down honestly. What are your plans with thousands of soldiers and horses by your side?
Mr. Quan finally figured it out and finally understood his position.
He was just an expired king. His only capital was the legitimacy of the royal power. Apart from that, the father and son were actually of no value to the Tang Dynasty.
From now on, I will honestly be the King of Goguryeo and respect the Tang Dynasty. If I don't know how to do it, I can look at the Japanese country across the sea.
The leader of the Japanese country didn't know his position at first, and he wanted to make some small moves secretly. After being killed by Li Qinzai, didn't he wake up? Unfortunately, he woke up too late, and all the ancestral halls of the leader of the country were sent to the Tang Dynasty. It is said that
He was put under house arrest for life and replaced by a little girl who knew nothing as the head of the country.
If Mr. Izumi doesn't learn the lesson from the leader of the Japanese country, sooner or later, his end will be even worse than that of the leader of the Japanese country. For example, the five thousand soldiers and horses around him are his way of death.
The father and son knelt in front of the camp gate, and the boy became more pious and well-behaved.
Not long after, Li Qinzai led the generals of the Tang army to the gate of the camp. When he saw Mr. Quan and his son kneeling in the middle, Li Qinzai was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.
"Your Majesty, why are you like this? It's a small misunderstanding. It will be fine once it is resolved. This matter has nothing to do with you two. There is no need to be afraid." Li Qinzai comforted him softly.
Boy Quan's cheeks twitched.
Five thousand soldiers and horses were killed and no one was left alive. Is this called a "little misunderstanding"?
"The foreign minister deserves to die, but he didn't know that the generals and soldiers were hiding their treacherous intentions. The foreign minister has been deceived by them these years. I would like to thank Mr. Li County Duke for helping the foreign minister to eliminate the serious troubles around him." Mr. Quan said with a mixture of regret and remorse.
However, Li Qinzai sighed with a sad expression: "I didn't expect that there were rebels hiding in His Majesty's troops, and they suddenly formed a formation to attack my camp tonight. Fortunately, my soldiers reacted quickly enough, otherwise it would be a real joke."
Mr. Quan said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much for your help, Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the foreign minister would be in danger. It's a pity that Jin Zhenxuan is dead, otherwise the foreign minister would like to cut him into pieces to relieve his hatred."
Li Qinzai sighed: "From now on, Your Highness must be more cautious when choosing the people around you. Don't let rebels get around you again. If Your Highness doesn't know how to choose people, I, the Tang Dynasty, can help you."
Mr. Quan lowered his head and said: "The foreign minister really does not choose the people around him. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not give up, I will ask the emperor to personally reward the foreign minister with some people around him. The foreign minister will be grateful."
Li Qinzai smiled: "This is easy. I will go to Emperor Shu to convey your request."
The two of them had a coy conversation, which made Quan Xiancheng next to him look pale.
In these few sentences, Izumi and his son were completely reduced to the tools of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even the eunuchs, servants and guards who served around them had to be appointed by the Tang Dynasty.
Mr. Quan had lost everything, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to show his dissatisfaction.
What Datang needed was an obedient chess piece. Apart from this chess piece, everything else was redundant.
Seeing Mr. Quan and his son leaving in despair, Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes slightly.
This back view is very nice, and the loneliness is particularly reassuring.
Li Qinzai turned around and called Liu Asi: "Tell the people in Baiqisi to place some spies around Mr. Quan and closely monitor his every move."
Mr. Quan, who returned to his handsome tent, had a dull expression on his face and his eyes were vacant.
The only five thousand soldiers and horses around him had been wiped out. Now he was truly alone. He felt particularly lonely at this time.
Originally, he was still secretly making small plans in his heart. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo and supported him as the leader of the country, he also thought about secretly recruiting troops and accumulating power. When his wings became stronger in the future, he could rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Starting from the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo has always been difficult to conquer. The Central Plains Dynasty conquered many times, but Goguryeo remained Goguryeo and never surrendered.
As the former leader of the country, Quan Nanping certainly did not want to surrender. Surrendering to the Tang Dynasty was just a temporary measure. In fact, he also had hidden objections in his heart.
But today, the Tang army suddenly killed all five thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and Mr. Quan was really scared.
A young county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty could manipulate him at will and hold him firmly in his hand, let alone the senior generals in the court. How could he be his opponent?
This question is too difficult and he can’t do it!
What we have to do now is protect ourselves.
Five thousand soldiers and horses were gone, and the father and son survived, but who knows if Li Qinzai would find some reason to kill them.
After a long time, Mr. Quan stood up, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, stared at it with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally sighed and ordered the generals to be summoned to the account.
Five thousand soldiers and horses raided the Tang army's camp, which was instigated by Jin Zhenxuan. At that time, other generals in the army were drinking and enjoying themselves in the commander's tent.
The soldiers and horses were gone, and those generals were more scared than him. Fortunately, Li Qinzai did not continue to kill, and these generals somehow survived.
When the generals entered the commander's tent, Mr. Quan's expression was as usual, and he even had a smile on his face.
Seeing Mr. Quan's appearance, the generals finally felt at ease. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they all angrily scolded Jin Zhenxuan for his audacity and deserved death. They also expressed their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
Mr. Quan smiled and agreed with everyone, finally clapped his hands, ordered someone to bring a few jars of wine, and filled it himself with the generals.
Looking around at everyone with complicated eyes, Mr. Quan raised his wine cup, and the generals hurriedly took the initiative to propose a toast.
After finishing the drink, the boy laughed with tears in his eyes.
…………
The next day, when the army was preparing to leave, Li Qinzai heard a rather unexpected news.
The few surviving generals in the Goguryeo camp were all poisoned by Quan Boy.
"All dead?" Li Qinzai asked in shock.
Liu Asi nodded: "What the people from Baiqisi said is definitely true."
"In other words, only Izumi and his son are still alive in the Goguryeo camp?"
"yes."
Li Qinzai sighed with a strange expression: "This king is really a ruthless person. In order not to be suspected by the Tang Dynasty, he actually took the initiative and cut off his own wings. Tsk!"
Liu Asi said calmly: "It's not surprising that people would do anything to survive."
