Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3181 Unpredictable thoughts

Chang Sun Chong felt that he had overlooked something.

Since the Tang army entered Liaodong, the occupation has been developing in an unfavorable direction for Goguryeo, losing cities and land again and again. The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Liaodong could not slow down the advance speed of the Tang army at all.Even though Anshi City once gave the Goguryeo people a glimmer of hope, it fell under the onslaught of the Tang army regardless of losses.Now the Tang army's soldiers are heading straight to Yalushui. If there is no accident, they will cross the south of the river and go straight to Pingrang City in the near future.

It can be said that the war situation is corrupt.

However, from beginning to end, the Goguryeo government and the people were in a panic, but Yuan Gaisuwen, the actual helm of Goguryeo, behaved well and managed well. He seemed to be busy, but in fact he was calm and composed.

It looks like "everything is under control"...

You need to know that, given the current situation, once the Tang army captures Pingrang City, perhaps the Goguryeo royal family can survive. After all, the Tang army still needs to show the Goguryeo people their benevolence and generosity, and they need the Goguryeo people to help manage the land of Goguryeo, otherwise they can’t take it seriously. Kill the Goguryeo people?It is neither necessary nor possible to do so.

After all, the reason why the Tang army sent troops in the first place was to cut off the "traitors of Goguryeo" who perverted and caused disasters and chaos, and to assist the Goguryeo royal family, which was recognized by the Tang Dynasty and considered itself a vassal.

As long as the Tang army captures Ping Rang City, Yuan Gai Su Wen will undoubtedly die.

So why did Yuan Gai Suwen still behave in an orderly and calm manner under such a crisis?
Is it to show the government and the public to see, so as to stabilize the morale of the army?

Or do you have a plan and have nothing to fear?

Based on Chang Sun Chong's understanding of Yuan Gai Suwen these days, he is more inclined to the latter.After all, he is a generation of heroes. Without top-notch courage, means, and resourcefulness, how could he wantonly kill the king of Goguryeo, seize the military and political power of Goguryeo, and become the de facto "King of Goguryeo".
Such an outstanding person would definitely not sit still.

……

Boy Yuan sat aside, tried his best to hide the disappointment in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said to Zhang Sunchong: "Father is in charge of Goguryeo. Although there are many criticisms, it is just those who are not ministers who slander and smear. Millions of Goguryeo people, which one?" Haven’t been favored by his father? Goguryeo’s rampage in Liaodong, prosperity and stability are all due to his father’s achievements. Now that the Tang army is powerful, Goguryeo can’t resist it. My father doesn’t want Goguryeo’s life to be ruined, so he decided to negotiate a peace. His grandeur and grandeur are rare in all ages. I only wish If Dalang can plead with your father to win the emperor's forgiveness for his father, the Yuan family will be willing to sacrifice all their treasures and treasures, and from then on they will follow their father and flee overseas, never returning to the land of Goguryeo."

These words are very filial, willing to use everything of the Yuan clan in exchange for Yuan Gai Suwen's life.

But in fact, Boy Yuan was depressed to death...

His previous plan was to use Changsun Chong's personal connections to communicate with Datang secretly behind his father's back. After the Tang army captured Pingrang City, his father would surely die at the hands of the Tang army, and then he could rely on the Yuan clan As the son of the eldest son, he gathered the power of the family and replaced the Goguryeo royal family as the spokesperson of the Tang Dynasty's rule of Goguryeo.

However, for some reason, the father, who had always been headstrong and tyrannical, suddenly came up with the idea of ​​negotiating peace and surrendering...

Once the father reached an agreement with Tang Jun, after the Pingrang City was broken, the Yuan clan would naturally still be in the hands of the father, and it would definitely not fall into his hands.

Since then, the actual controller of the Yuan clan is still his father. With his father's love for his second brother, it is almost a certainty to depose him as the eldest son.And it is absolutely difficult for a deposed son to die well...

Boy Yuan is not willing to part with the power of the Yuan clan, let alone his own life, why is he not in a hurry?
But he didn't dare to show it on the surface, otherwise, with his father's tyrannical temperament, he might have killed himself, an "unfilial son", on the spot...

Chang Sunchong glanced at the Yuan boy, and naturally knew that his mouth was wrong, he said that he was willing to exchange everything of the Yuan clan in exchange for Yuan Gai Suwen's life, but in fact he wished that Yuan Gai Suwen would die suddenly now, He successfully took over the Yuan clan.

Contemptuous in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, with a heart like the sea and a spirit like a rainbow. In the past, no matter whether it was Turkic or Xue Yantuo, after the defeat, all the nobles could get the honor of His Majesty. He has never been harshly treated for his rewards and appointments, let alone a generation of outstanding people like Da Mo Lizhi? I beg my father to work hard to preserve the wealth and power of the Yuan clan."

Yuan Gai Suwen sighed: "Am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I only wish that the Tang army would promise not to slaughter the people of Goguryeo willfully, and that is enough. As for the honor and disgrace of personal life and death, I don't care about it."

Changsun Chong said: "There is no such thing as a sage in ancient times who is high-spirited and upright, and has a heart for all people."

Yuan Gai Suwen waved his hand, and said: "Okay, you two go down to discuss the wording, and then write a letter to your father. Even if both countries have intentions to negotiate a peace, the trade-offs involve all aspects. It can be achieved overnight, without delay."

"Here!"

The two hurriedly got up to salute, and then left together.

Yuan Gai Su Wen sat alone in Nuo Da's hall, contemplating for a long time with his brows frowned, just now he picked up the tureen in front of him, took a sip slowly, closed his eyes, and concentrated on thinking about the current predicament.

……

Mr. Yuan led his eldest Sun Chong to a courtyard in the corner of the mansion, ordered his soldiers to guard the door, and then ordered the waiter to serve tea, and then drove everyone out of the door, leaving him and his eldest Sun Chong in the study. within.

Chang Sun Chong knelt down on the floor, stopped his back, and asked solemnly: "Why is Da Mo Lizhi suddenly willing to negotiate peace? This is really unexpected and does not match his character."

Yuan Gai Suwen is a domineering, reckless and violent person. Although his ability and resourcefulness are top-notch, his personality is definitely the kind that would rather bend than bend.Such things as surrendering and negotiating peace are really contrary to Yuan Gai Suwen's character and style. It is unbelievable that such ideas come from him.

Boy Yuan sat opposite him, with a distressed expression on his face, and said in disbelief: "At midnight last night, my father suddenly called me into the study and talked about this matter... I was also very surprised! What kind of character is my father? How can you not know? It must be the last soldier in the battle, and he would rather be a jade than a tile. Even if the entire Goguryeo is dragged into the mountains of swords and fires, and he himself dies under the chaotic blades, don't let him live in humiliation. World!"

The so-called knowing a son is like a father, and vice versa.

Father and son face each other day and night, Yuan boy, as the eldest son, assists in handling the affairs of the Yuan clan, often listens to Yuan Gai Suwen's teachings, and is naturally familiar with his character and behavior style.

Absolutely never thought that Yuan Gai Suwen would voluntarily surrender and negotiate a peace, which was really unexpected.

Chang Sun Chong stared at Boy Yuan, not letting go of any change of expression on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "This action is extremely inconsistent with Da Mo Lizhi's temperament. Perhaps, Da Mo Lizhi has other plans?"

Boy Yuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "You mean, father's move is a way to delay the attack? Well, there is no shortage of such possibilities."

The Tang army is in a state of overwhelming strength, and it is estimated that it will arrive at the city of Ping Rang in a few days. At that time, a big battle is inevitable, and the defeat of the Goguryeo army is also reasonable.At this time, if peace talks can be used as a means to urge the Tang army to slow down and give Goguryeo more time to recruit soldiers and deploy defenses, it is naturally not impossible.

Chang Sun Chong didn't see anything unusual from Yuan Boy's face, so he knew that he should or didn't know what Yuan Gai Suwen's plan was.

After all, Boy Yuan is stupid and superficial, with expressions of joy and anger, it is absolutely impossible for him to act in front of him without revealing the slightest flaw.

In this way, Yuan Gai Suwen's intentions made him feel more and more unpredictable.

Boy Yuan didn't realize that Sun Chong was testing him. He was full of anxiety at the moment, and asked impatiently: "Da Lang, do you think that if father initiates a peace proposal, will the emperor of Tang Dynasty bypass father's life?"

This is what he cares most about.

As long as Yuan Gai Suwen is alive, not only will all his plans be in vain, but in the near future, he will even lose his position as the son of the eldest son.With his second younger brother Yuan Nanjian's greed for the position of the son and his loathing and hatred for himself, perhaps he could only end up in a miserable death.

How could he not be in a hurry?
In particular, the two countries stopped fighting and negotiated a peace, so that Tang Junbing would not fall to Goguryeo with a bloody blade, and even more agree with Changsun Chong's interests. It is impossible to say that Changsun Chong would not stand on his side.
