- With ten thousand prisoners, even if the Goryeo army in Baiyan City defended the city and prevented the Tang army from breaking through, they would still see the Tang army killing prisoners under Baiyan City every day. ¨d¨gWhen I saw my companions being slaughtered like pigs at the foot of Baiyan City, the pillars on the city tower were so high that my heart felt like a knife. Many times, he couldn't help but want to go out of the city to fight to the death with the Tang army, but when he saw the neat troops and the murderous Turkic cavalry, he held back his impulse and anger. He knew that once the army left the city, they would face the Turkic cavalry and the With the army of black-clad guards, there is only one outcome for him, and that is death.
These days, Li Ke has not been having an easy time, and his thoughts are on Chang'an City.
Because, Li Shimin's army has already set off from Youzhou and entered Luoyang City. However, what puzzled Li Ke was that Li Shimin and his Northern Expedition army did not continue to march to Chang'an after arriving in Luoyang, but chose to stay in Luoyang City. Li Ke was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what Li Shimin meant. Did he also discover the conspiracy between Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian? In other words, his condition has reached the point where he can no longer move forward and he can only stay in Luoyang for treatment?
Suddenly, Li Ke felt very heavy in his heart. He felt that countless burdens were weighing on him. Because he can't lose this duel, he can't afford to lose. He has his wife and children by his side, as well as tens of thousands of black-clad guards, and dozens of generals who have followed him in the north and south.
"Zhongchang Wang¡ª¡ª" Li Ke shouted.
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª" Wang Zhongchang walked into the tent.
"Has the information from Chang'an arrived?" Li Ke asked.
"Not yet, Your Highness!" Wang Zhongchang replied.
"Order Zhu Tong to find out the situation in Luoyang at all costs!" Li Ke said fiercely.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Wang Zhongchang took the order.
Seeing Wang Zhongchang¡¯s back disappearing into the tent, Li Ke¡¯s expression turned a bit grim.
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª" At this time, Lan Dong walked into the tent.
"Landong¡ª¡ª" Li Ke glanced at the Turkic general in front of him, "This time Baiyan City surrenders, I want your Turkic army to enter the city¡ª¡ª"
"What do you mean by His Highness?" Lan Dong asked doubtfully.
"You don't understand?" Li Ke asked.
¡°Understood¡ª¡ª¡± Lan Dong suddenly realized.
"Yes - then you go down and tell the Turkic warriors that I will not take any of the things in the city and will reward them all -" Li Ke said coldly.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Lan Dong accepted the order and left.
Baiyan City, General Mansion.
Veteran general Gao Dezhu read the king's edict carefully, then sighed and said, "Everyone, the king's death is to let us, Li Ke, negotiate peace."
When they first received the king¡¯s edict, the generals seemed very nervous and did not know what the king¡¯s attitude was towards Datang. Now that they heard that the king wanted to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, the generals felt relieved.
"Does your Majesty want to negotiate peace with Datang?" One of the generals asked again.
"It's not with the Tang Dynasty¡ª¡ª" Gao Dezhu corrected, "What the king means is that we negotiate peace with Li Ke¡ª¡ª"
"" The generals in the hall were confused and started talking non-stop.
After a while, Gao Dezhu whispered, "The king's edict said that there may be unrest in the Tang Dynasty -" Then, he glanced at the generals and continued, "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, in this case Can he remain indifferent? Therefore, I think this is the real reason why he did not take the initiative to attack the city after arriving at Baiyan City."
"Why does the king want us to surrender Li Ke instead of Datang?" asked a general.
"Because, the Tang Dynasty's world will eventually become Li Ke's -"
"Li Ke has no right to inherit. The world of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the prince Li Chengqian!"
"Li Ke has hundreds of thousands of elite troops¡ª¡ª"
"Then let's surrender Li Ke¡ª¡ª"
The quarrel started again in the hall, and everyone was looking for answers on how to save their lives.
"General, Li Ke has threatened to massacre the city. If we surrender him, will it happen -" the general who just asked the question continued.
"This is what I am most worried about. Therefore, I want you, General Li, to leave the city and go to the Tang Army camp to negotiate with the Northern King Li Ke. You must keep Baiyan City." Gao Dezhu sighed.
Looking at Li Yingxiong in front of him, he felt like a hero in his twilight years.
"General, don't worry, I will accept your orders¡ª¡ª" Li Yingxiong replied loudly.
That night, Li Yingxiong came to Tang Jun and promised to meet Li Ke.
"Goryeo envoy?" Li Ke asked in the tent.
"yesThe envoy from Baiyan City wants to negotiate with His Highness¡ª" Commander Wang replied.
"Are the Koreans qualified to negotiate?" Li Ke asked rhetorically.
Wang Zhongchang did not answer, and Pei Xinglian, Xue Rengui, Landong and Hou Hu in the tent did not speak.
"Let him come in -" Li Ke said lightly.
After a while, Zhongchang Wang led a Korean general into the tent.
"Goryeo envoy Li Yingxiong has met His Royal Highness the North King¡ª¡ª" Li Yingxiong bowed and saluted.
"Tell me, the purpose of your coming!" Li Ke said lightly.
"Your Highness, our king wants to negotiate peace with Your Highness!" Li Yingxiong said.
"Where's sincerity?" Li Ke continued to ask.
"The defenders of Baiyan City surrender to Your Highness¡ª¡ª" Li Yingxiong replied.
"What are your conditions?" Li Ke asked.
"Your Highness cannot harm the people in the city and the captives of Goryeo!" Li Yingxiong said.
Li Ke said nothing and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn¡¯t want to agree so happily. After a while, he said, "Tomorrow morning, all the Korean defenders in Baiyan City must leave the city to surrender, and my promise to you is that the Tang army will not enter Baiyan City."
Hearing Li Ke¡¯s words, Li Yingxiong¡¯s face showed joy. Lan Dong, who was on the side, also had a strange smile on his face. He immediately understood why the Northern King told him to let his Turkic spirits ride into White Rock City.
"Your Highness, the young general will discuss it with the general in the city and give you an answer?" Li Yingxiong replied.
"You go!" Li Ke ignored him and said in a cold tone.
Li Yingxiong withdrew from the tent.
"What do you think?" Li Ke asked.
"Your Highness, Baiyan City will not surrender to us lightly!" Xue Rengui said.
"Your Highness, Li Yingxiong came to negotiate with us this time. He just wants to test us-" Pei Xinglian also said.
"The King of Goryeo may ask them to surrender to me, but Goryeo's general Gao Dezhu is not confused. He knows very well what the price of surrender is." Li Ke said calmly, "So, the negotiations will take many days. I leave this matter to you. Let's deal with it!" Li Ke glanced at the generals and continued, "I don't want to lose a single soldier. Baiyan City surrenders. All the defenders in the city will leave the city and accept the surrender. The Turkic elite cavalry will enter Baiyan City."
Li Ke expressed his thoughts.
¡°No¡ª¡±
Pei Xinglian, Xue Rengui, Hou Hu and Lan Dong replied.
Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian naturally understood the meaning of Li Ke's words. Lan Dong also understood the reason why Li Ke allowed his Turkic army to enter Baiyan City.
Seeing that Li Ke was a little tired, the four of them said goodbye and left.
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª" Wang Zhongchang said after seeing the four people leaving.
"What's going on?" Li Ke asked.
"Just now, Chang'an sent information saying that in addition to the emperor, Fang Xuanling has also contracted the disease!" Wang Zhongchang replied.
"Really?" Li Ke said lightly, but his heart was greatly shaken.
Hearing the news, the unsolved doubts in his heart seemed to have answers. Fang Xuanling is ill. This is the real reason why Li Shimin returned to the court! Because, in the current Tang Dynasty, only Fang Xuanling can compete with Changsun Wuji. In addition, Wei Zheng is a surrendered minister, so his status is inevitably embarrassing, and Cen Wenwen's qualifications are a bit junior.
Sure enough, there are a lot of articles in it! Li Ke suddenly smiled. Because his thinking became much clearer and he knew what he should do!
