    "Swish, swish, swish" Letters written in Goguryeo characters were shot with arrows into Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. These arrows had their arrowheads cut off, so they would not hurt anyone.  After those arrows were shot into the city, they were picked up by the people one after another.  Of course, ordinary Goguryeo people are illiterate, so they don't recognize it.  In the ancient Tang Dynasty, the literacy rate did not exceed 10%, and Goguryeo was definitely even lower.  And they took it to the Goguryeo literati one after another, hoping that they could give some answers.  "Hey, the king is actually like this?" The Goguryeo scholar immediately shook his head and said.  ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± everyone asked one after another.  "The king killed Eulji Mundeok's family just to please the Tang army outside. The king thought that if he killed Eulji Mundeok's family, the Tang army would retreat. But now he killed Eulji Mundeok's family  , but failed to get the Tang Dynasty to retreat, we" And the people of Goguryeo were a little confused, because Ulji Wende's status in the hearts of the Goguryeo people was also very high.  Eulji Wende repelled the attack of millions of Sui troops and killed many Sui troops, which greatly improved Goguryeo's national self-esteem.  Originally, they all surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, but because of Ulji Mundeok, they were able to be on an equal footing with the Sui Dynasty, so Ulji Mundeok has always been the hero of the Sui Dynasty.  And Ulji Munduk¡¯s influence can be said to be deep-rooted. Even in later generations of Korea, Ulji Munduk was a hero of Korea. Although this Ulji Munduk was not the ancestor of Koreans, they just insisted on it.  Just pretending to be false.  The Ulchi Martial Arts Medal is the second-class medal in Korea in later generations, second only to the Tai Chi Martial Arts Medal. This is enough to show that Ulchi Munde's influence on the Korean Peninsula is actually deep into the bones.  But now the King of Goguryeo is so "stupid" that he killed Ulji Mundeok's family members just to please the Tang army and hope that the Tang army would retreat.  This news can be said to be a huge blow to the morale of the people of Goguryeo. Originally, everyone wanted to fight the Tang Dynasty people with all their strength and strive to defeat the Tang Dynasty people again.  This is how we strive for honor for our country.  But now his king is so incompetent that he actually wants to please the enemy and make the enemy retreat by killing the family members of his heroes.  This idea has to be said to be very good and powerful, chilling countless people to the core.  ??Everyone is also thinking that if they have performed meritorious services by then, even if they repelled the Tang Dynasty's attack this time, and the Central Plains Dynasty comes again in the future, will their descendants and family members also be killed.  If so, is this kind of dynasty worthy of allegiance?  A government that wants to please foreign enemies by killing its own heroes will never gain support from anyone.  No one, no matter the common people, nobles, soldiers or officials, would support this kind of government or king.  How spineless and courageless it is to be killed despite having performed meritorious service and unable to protect one's meritorious service!  So at this moment, the people of Goguryeo felt extremely cold towards Gao Jianwu.  "Then how did the people of the Tang Dynasty treat General Eulji Mundeok? Was he chopped into meat paste, or was he fed to dogs?" Someone asked worriedly.  However, the Goguryeo cultural man shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty people gave him a posthumous title, and he was given a posthumous title. He was the king of Liaodong County!" "What? Can he still get a posthumous title?" "Yes! How can he still be given a posthumous title?  ? We killed almost a million Han people and took their remains as a memorial. How could General Ulji Mundeok be awarded the posthumous title? "" He has done so much.  , but can the people of the Tang Dynasty still forgive him and give him a posthumous title? " The people of Goguryeo couldn't believe that the Tang Dynasty actually gave Eulji Wende a posthumous title."  Rather than chop Eulji Mundeok's family into meat paste or feed them to dogs.  And Ulji Mundeok was able to be buried with the courtesy of a county king. This can be said to be a great honor for Ulji Mundeok, and this situation made many Goguryeo people feel a little ashamed.  At that time, Ulji Mundeok suggested that the King of Goguryeo use the remains of these Sui Dynasty soldiers as a capital.  Used to show off martial arts.  How arrogant they were at the time, but now the Tang Dynasty has come to avenge their predecessors, but Eulji Mundeok has died long ago.  Now Eulji Mundeok's family members were also killed by the King of Goguryeo.  Then he gave it to Datang.  However, the Tang Dynasty did not take the opportunity to take revenge on Ulji Mundeok and his family. Instead, he posthumously granted the title of county king and buried him with the honors of a county king.  This is enough to show that the Tang Dynasty was a truly civilized people and a true country of etiquette.  The Central Plains people were able to repay evil with kindness and did not insult some corpses. This was great compared to them.  And when many Goguryeo people made such a comparison, they found that what they did back then was too unauthentic.  He killed each other back then and took their bodies as a memorial.  But now when people from the Tang Dynasty came to seek revenge, they did not do anything to insult their opponents' corpses. This was a thousand times more civilized than them.?Ten thousand times, this makes many Goguryeo people feel ashamed.  "Hey, it seems that the Central Plains is indeed the Central Plains. We Goguryeo people still have to learn it for a long time!" someone sighed.  And many people are silent. Originally they thought they could truly be on an equal footing with the Central Plains, but now it seems that they are still far from the Central Plains!  Although they may one day be able to surpass the Central Plains in military strength, their territory may not be smaller than that of the Central Plains.  But in terms of civilization, it is countless times worse than in the Central Plains.  Not long ago, many Goguryeo people were very proud of the temples built with the remains of Sui Dynasty soldiers, and thought they were martial arts.  But now they find that the Tang Dynasty has long surpassed these vulgar behaviors, and they also realize that this kind of insulting the enemy's corpse and using it for martial arts is actually extremely barbaric. In the end, they are still a group of barbarians.  As for truly civilized people, they would never insult the corpses of their enemies, otherwise they would just be a bunch of beasts.  The Goguryeo people compared the behavior of the Tang Dynasty and their own, and found that the Tang Dynasty was the real civilization, and they were far behind compared to the Tang Dynasty.  And this time, Datang¡¯s actions can be said to have truly destroyed the national self-esteem established by Goguryeo through the war with the Sui Dynasty, and shattered their belief that they could be on an equal footing with the Central Plains people.  They all also realized that they had many more years of study ahead of them in the Central Plains!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
