    "The foreign minister Goguryeo Gaozang has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" said a Goguryeo envoy.  "Gaozang, the royal family of Goguryeo?" Li Shimin asked.  And the envoy immediately said: "Your Majesty, yes, I am Gao Zang, the younger brother of King Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo. The foreign minister came to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty on the order of the king." "Peace negotiation? It sounds new to me!" Jing  Wen hummed.  Goguryeo has reached this point, and now only Pyongyang, the capital, is left, but it still wants to negotiate peace.  If Datang agreed to them, he would be a fool!  "Tell me! What do you want?" Li Shimin asked.  Although Li Shimin was very disdainful of these guys, he still wanted to hear what he could say.  After all, they are envoys. If you don't listen to their opinions, that would be disrespectful to their country.  Although people are about to perish, they still have to retain a certain amount of respect before they perish.  "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, Goguryeo, know that we were wrong. We should not offend the power of the Tang Dynasty, so Goguryeo knows that we are wrong. And if we hope that the Tang Dynasty will retreat, we Goguryeo are willing to pay tribute every year and come to the court every year, and foreign ministers can also serve as Goguryeo  I want to go to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to live as a proton, and I just want the Tang Dynasty to withdraw its troops, so that I, Goguryeo, will be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty and a dog of the Tang Dynasty!" Gao Zang said.  Hearing what Gao Zang said, Jing Wen was a little speechless. This Goguryeo was indeed shameless. He actually said that as long as the Tang Dynasty could withdraw its troops, Goguryeo was willing to be a dog of the Tang Dynasty.  But as a later generation, how could Jingwen not understand the virtues of these Chinese vassals?  Those vassal states of China, when the Central Plains were strong, they surrendered under their feet, and then hoped to obtain some of the remaining bones of the Central Plains to gain benefits.  But once the power of the Central Plains becomes weaker, they will in turn take advantage of the Central Plains.  Didn't Goguryeo take advantage of the Eight Kings Rebellion during the Western Jin Dynasty and various chaos in the Central Plains to occupy a large area of ??land in Liaodong?  ??If we don¡¯t talk about the distant future, let¡¯s talk about the future generations.  Jing Wen knew the two typical examples of Korea and Vietnam.  They can only survive because of China's support, but once China leaves, they will not recognize this kindness and bite China back.  This was something they dared to do when China was strong. This is enough to show that as long as they have a stronger backer, they will dare to bite China back.  Therefore, Jingwen did not believe in the loyalty of any of these vassal countries.  Jing Wen was skeptical about the loyalty of these vassal countries, or even didn't believe it at all. After all, historical experience was here.  They must be destroyed directly to make them truly unite with the Central Plains.  "Is it over?" Jing Wen asked.  "Well, what else do you want?" Gao Zang asked.  Jing Wen immediately asked: "Then how are you going to compensate us? Our Tang Dynasty sent out a hundred thousand troops, sacrificed countless soldiers, and spent so much wealth to make this expedition, so how are you going to compensate us?  ?" "Well, this!" Gao Zang cursed Jing Wen in his heart. This Jing Wen is really shameless.  From Gao Zang's point of view, it was clearly the Tang Dynasty that invaded them, but now Jingwen actually asked for these compensations from Goguryeo.  This is simply unreasonable.  It is extremely shameless for the aggressor to demand military compensation from the invaded party.  But he didn't know at all that Jing Wen learned this from later generations of foreigners. The losing side had to pay the winning side the military expenses of others to attack them.  It¡¯s just so shameless anyway.  "We are willing to give!" Gao Zang said.  Gao Zang knew that there would inevitably be heavy bleeding this time, but in order to protect Goguryeo from destruction, it could still be beneficial.  As for Datang¡¯s extortion.  That's understandable. After all, they sent troops anyway. How could they just leave like this without recouping the cost?  "Also. What about the territorial issue? You, Goguryeo, are taking advantage of the troubled times in the Central Plains to continue to encroach on our territory. How do you explain it? Don't you know that the property should be returned to its original owner?" Jing Wen asked.  Gao Zang finally realized that this problem was inevitable.  Originally, Gao Zang deliberately didn't say anything about the territorial issue, but now Jing Wen actually raised it like this.  This territorial issue can be said to be a huge problem, because Goguryeo encroached on so much territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Goguryeo also regarded these territories as its own.  But now the Tang Dynasty wants to go back, which is obviously something Goguryeo cannot do.  Most of Goguryeo's territory is also in the Liaodong area. If the Liaodong area is returned to the Tang Dynasty, then Goguryeo may not have any territory at all.  "We Goguryeo have lived here for a long time in these places, so we Goguryeo have thrived here, I think" Gao Zang wanted to refute through the reason of factual possession.  But Jing Wen doesn¡¯t want to do this.?: "Don't talk nonsense to me. If according to your theory, then I gave the daughter of your King of Goguryeo to that one, then your daughter of the King of Goguryeo is also my woman? So you are completely a fake  Proposition!" "Pfft!" Kinderman suddenly laughed.  And Gao Zang felt angry because Jing Wen actually used the Goguryeo princess as a metaphor, obviously deliberately despising them.  However, Jing Wen's words are not crude. If we follow the theory of Goguryeo, if they occupy this land and thrive on it, it will be theirs.  So if Jingwen gives the daughter of their King of Goguryeo to that one, does that mean that the daughter of the King of Goguryeo belongs to Jingwen?  Therefore, this is simply impossible. The theory of factual possession still does not work in the East.  Although some countries in the West in later generations have so-called facts that can be publicly held for a certain number of years and belong to them, this does not work in the East.  Moreover, this is about territorial issues. Who would do this? Because others actually occupy it, it will be given to others.  "But, we Goguryeo people have already multiplied and multiplied on this land, you can't kill them all, right?" Gao Zang said rogue for a while.  Gao Zang is such a rogue. After all, his own people have arrived on that land. You can't possibly kill them all, right?  If Datang really dared to do this, then I'm afraid no one would continue to be friends with Datang Yi.  "Actually, there are some things that can be discussed! If you want to negotiate a peace, that's fine, as well as the territorial issue, but" Jing Wen said.  "What?" Li Shimin immediately asked in surprise.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
