Chapter seven hundred and sixty-two unexpected changes
Now Yang You, Emperor Gong of the Sui Empire, should be called Uncle Li Yuan...
The emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were naturally one family, and their relationship was very close!
"Now it's obvious that we are dead. In this case, we should form a life and death alliance and fight against the enemy together!"
Gao Yan responded without hesitation and naturally. Li Yuan and others nodded in agreement, but did not answer, obviously waiting for the next step.
Gao Jun cursed secretly in his heart and could only take the initiative to ask: "I wonder what the King of Tang and all the Tang ministers think?"
"..."
Li Yuan frowned, and even the civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty also stiffened their expressions, not knowing how to respond.
In the intelligence, I wonder if it is said that the Xuanxiang King Gao Jiong came to surrender to the Tang State on behalf of the Sui Army in Henan?
What does this mean?!
"Hey... Now that the Li army has occupied Shenyuan Pass, the other passes are also in danger. I don't know what to do. Please give me some advice from the Prime Minister!"
Li Yuan's thoughts changed rapidly, he sighed, and responded somewhat euphemistically and straightforwardly.
"Now...the west city wall has basically been captured by our army!"
Gao Jiong thought for a moment, turned around and looked behind him, pointed at the west city wall that cut across the sky and the earth, and said slowly.
Li Yuan and others looked displeased and tried not to say anything. Then they heard Gao Qiao continue:
"There are more than 100 urban areas in the Eastern Capital. We only need to give up some of the outermost urban areas such as Chunhe, Guangli, Tongji, and Xishi for our army to live in. Then, the Tang army will be responsible for dealing with the eastern passes, and our army will be responsible for the southern ones.
Guan, as long as you deal with it with all your heart, it will not be difficult to stop the Li army!"
"Huh?!" Li Yuan's face darkened, and he stared at Gao Jiong with sharp eyes.
"presumptuous……"
Things backfired, and Li Shentong, who had a bad temper, immediately yelled angrily.
Li Xiaogong waved his hand to stop Li Shentong, frowned at Gao Qiao and said:
"The Eastern Capital is our king's capital and the foundation of our country. If the Sui army is allowed to occupy it, how can our army be able to deal with the Li army with all its strength? The high minister is joking! This method is not feasible..."
After a pause, Li Xiaogong quickly continued without waiting for Gao Jiong to say more:
"What's more, Hangu Pass is still in the flames of war and the situation is critical. Pingjin Pass and Yique Pass are also under the control of the Sui army. In such a situation, how can our army forget the crisis and fight against the enemy with all its strength?"
"What does the King of Tang mean? We have given our sincerity and are willing to resist the enemy for the Tang State without asking for any compensation. Doesn't the Tang State show any expression at all?"
Gao Jiong looked a little ugly and looked at Li Yuan and asked.
"this……"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that it was not that cheap, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
You can't just tell the Sui army in Henan led by Gao Jun to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, right?
To be honest, Gao Jiong believes that the most important thing for both sides now is to jointly resist the Li army. Li Yuan strongly agrees with this, so he does not want the two sides to collapse.
"Aren't you here to surrender? What does this mean?"
Li Shentong felt the strange atmosphere and shouted quickly with some displeasure, leaving Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, Liu Wenjing and others unable to stop him.
Indeed!
When the Sui army beat the gongs to withdraw their troops and raised the flag to cease fighting, King Xuanxiang said so! Otherwise, how could the Tang state respond seriously, and why the Tang king Li Yuan came to negotiate peace in person?!
"Surrender? Don't you think this is too much, King Tang?"
Gao Qiao frowned and looked directly at Li Yuan with disappointment and asked.
What Gao Jiong said before was just to express his sincerity in truce and peace talks. When things came to pass, Gao Jiong and others were really asked to surrender to the Tang army. Gao Jiong was really embarrassed and couldn't make a decision!
As the ancient saying goes, a loyal minister will not serve two masters.
If Gao Jiong surrendered to the Tang State now, betrayed the Tang State later, and then led his army to destroy the Tang State, then what kind of person would he be? He would probably be infamy for thousands of years, and we don’t know what history would write about him!
Xuanxiang King Gao Jiong is a human being, not a saint, but he still doesn’t want to lose his life in the late festival!
"This...General Xiaogong, what you said is very reasonable. I don't ask Prime Minister Gao to return Pingjin Pass and Yique Pass. However, the Eastern Capital cannot be ceded and must be completely in the hands of our army, otherwise our army will really not be able to
Dare to resist the enemy with all your heart!"
Li Yuan was full of tangles, his mind was racing, he sighed secretly, and still chose to give in and answer.
Thinking about it rationally, it is really unrealistic for Gao Jun to lead the Sui army to surrender.
After all, the Sui army in the Eastern Expedition included the Four Heavenly Kings, Yin Shuai Qu Jiang, Silver Demon Pei Yuanqing and other world-famous generals. Now there is an additional King of Taiping. If they are asked to surrender, even King Li will definitely not be able to do so.
It's too embarrassing and obviously impossible. Even if Gao Jiong is willing, no one else is willing!
Although there is a saying in the art of war, soldiers never tire of deceit. However, in this world, honor and integrity are still very important, especially the elders such as the Sui Dynasty King.
"Our army has suffered millions of casualties. We have just captured the Western City Wall and just surrendered it. How should we explain it? If we don't explain how we will explain it to the court, we can't explain it to the soldiers, right? This is a matter of military morale and morale. I believe
The King of Tang and General Li Xiaogong should be able to understand!"
Double Spear King Ding Yanping shook his head and couldn't help but interrupt to remind.
Now, both sides have ceased war and are in peace talks.
The soldiers on both sides are still piled high with corpses and rivers of blood. In order to jointly fight against the foreign enemy, the two sides can temporarily cease the war, but they cannot directly erase the credit of the casualties. That would be too cheating!
Don't look at the fact that several big countries now have tens of millions of troops, and you might think that there are a lot of troops.
Every country's tens of millions of troops are recruited on the basis of a huge population base. The influence of a million-strong army is so huge that it can even shake the foundation of the country. How can we underestimate it?
Just look at the Battle of Jinhu. The armies of the six countries suffered heavy losses. However, Tang and Beidi only lost a million troops, which affected the whole country and greatly damaged their vitality. The Beidi Iron Horse fled back to the Beidi Prairie without stopping. The Tang Kingdom was shaken and most of its territory was lost.
, lost more than ten counties in a row, and finally only Henan County was left!
Nowadays, the Sui Empire has suffered millions of casualties and has just captured the Western City Wall of the Eastern Capital. How could it be possible to give up like this?
Conquering the Western City Wall of the Eastern Capital is more difficult than conquering an ordinary county!
How can you give up just because you say you give up?!
Unless the Sui army did not want to conquer the Tang Dynasty at all, then he was really a saint who sacrificed himself for others, a Buddha who cut his flesh to feed the eagles!
Of course, the most important thing is that I still can’t explain it. Isn’t it true that you are not afraid of a mutiny if you take the lives of the soldiers instead of taking orders?
The Tang State had to pay a price in exchange for the Western City Wall, and the Tang State, which was left with only the Eastern Capital, really couldn't afford it. It wanted land but no land, money but no money, and people but no one. What could it be worth in exchange for it?!
I still thought that the Sui Empire could support the Tang army with some food and supplies. How could I have anything to give to the Sui army?
Gao Jun, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others are all extremely intelligent people. They understood all the above, and the negotiation was at a standstill!
"Amitabha! Monks don't fight and don't like to lie! Haven't the high ministers already made it clear about this matter, but now they are going back on their word? What's the purpose?!"
At this moment, Zen Master Benci, the newly appointed leader of the Luohan Hall in White Horse Temple, burst out with force and pressed on the three of Gao Jiong.
Buddha also has fire!
"That's right! Isn't this already agreed upon? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Among the great monks summoned by the Tang State, another great monk echoed loudly.
"What nonsense? Leave the prime minister alone and the crisis in Dongdu will be solved!"
A great monk in powerful attire shouted loudly with an explosive voice like a thunderbolt:
"The King of Tang has an order, kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else. He filled the sword in his hand with force, condensed the terrifying light of more than 100 meters long, and struck Gao Jiong in the air, including the surrounding Tang troops...
