Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

A man stepped out from the ranks of civil officials and vetoed the words of the military general.

In contrast, this is the peace faction, which does not advocate the use of force against the mighty Tang army.

Goguryeo had just fallen, and it was not without the intention of Dayan to kill a hundred people!

If at this moment, the various countries are still stubborn and refuse to change, by the time Dayan has time to spare, their fate will not be much better than Goguryeo's!
"Prime Minister! Tell me what you think."

After hearing what the two said, the King of Kucha ignored the military general and turned his attention to the civil official.

In fact, if he wanted to fight Dayan head-on, he would not have succumbed to Li Kuan's power that day, but would have welcomed Yang Wanchun into the city to fight against Li Kuan and his soldiers.

"King! The Great Yan Dynasty has always regarded itself as a country of etiquette, opening its doors to welcome envoys from all nations, and has never been aggressive. Even with a million strong troops, we always adhere to the principle of not offending others unless they offend us. As long as we are sincere enough, I think the Great Yan Dynasty will not pursue it."

The civil official who was called prime minister by the King of Kucha continued speaking after hearing this.

"Their biggest advantage over Goguryeo this time is that they have long since recovered from the offense against the prestige of the Great Yan State, and even paid a price to please Li Kuan in the end."

"That's right. Da Yan is not an unreasonable country. This time, you will serve me and go to Da Yan to meet the emperor of Da Yan, state our position, and tell the emperor that we are willing to submit. We will pay tribute like other vassal states, and only ask for forgiveness and protection from Da Yan."

The King of Kucha made up his mind quickly without any hesitation.

"King! No! If we give up resistance, then we will just become a piece of meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others! How can we let the fate of our country be decided by the Tang Dynasty?"

The general became anxious when he saw that the King of Kucha ignored his words and made the decision.

He was a military commander! A great general of a country! Naturally, he had his own pride. How could he let others decide his life and death?

"Hey...it's settled then! If you can fight against the Great Flame Army, or if you can fight against that man, then we can discuss whether to fight with force."

The King of Kucha sighed, and then left the hall, leaving only one sentence echoing in the hall.

He has always wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dayan and contend with the huge empire of Central Plains, but his strength does not allow it!

"Great Flame Master...that man..."

The general remained silent after hearing this. If he could have fought against the mighty army of Dayan, he would have been able to capture Yanmen Pass that day!
He could not do what the Goguryeo army could not do.

And he naturally knew who the man the King of Kucha was!

Li Kuan! He has long been the nightmare of the generals of various countries! He is a god who stands high above them and cannot be surpassed!
A similar scene,
What happened in Dayan made many neighboring countries, especially those that had previously offended Dayan's national prestige, even more uneasy.

At this moment, they finally realized that anyone who dared to provoke Dayan, this giant dragon, would not have a good ending!

This was the case with the Eastern Turks before, and it is even more so with Goguryeo now.

Those two once glorious imperial dynasties were defeated miserably by Dayan!
If they were to face Da Yan, they would be torn to pieces in an instant by the giant dragon's sharp claws that could break metal and stone!
Amidst the panic, the final decision of the countries was surprisingly unanimous.

Send an envoy to Dayan to meet the Emperor of Dayan and express your submission!

I am willing to be a minister of the Great Yan, pay tribute to the court for generations, and protect the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains!
For a time,

Wave after wave of envoys, carrying their country's greatest sincerity, set out on the road to Dayan Yanyun City.

………………

The Goguryeo royal capital, a small town dozens of miles away.

There were no people walking on the main street of the town, and the dead silence gave off a hint of weirdness.

"General! Everything is ready! Those people have been brought here by us. As long as you give the order, we can drive them to the royal city."

In a courtyard, there was not a single ordinary family, but there were dozens of Goguryeo soldiers wearing casual clothes, no different from ordinary people.

Without exception, they all covered their mouths and noses and wrapped themselves tightly.

If the Goguryeo general was here, he would definitely recognize them at a glance. The leader of these people was Huizhen, who had parted ways with him.

"Remember! Sneak into the royal city as soon as possible! Do not expose yourself in advance! Do everything you can to let them get in touch with the soldiers of Dayan! If you mess this up, your parents, wives and children... humph!"

At this moment, there was no trace of rationality on Huizhen's face, only endless madness.

"Yes!"

When the group heard this, they all looked at Huizhen secretly with some resentment, but they just nodded quickly without showing any expression.
In a courtyard not far from them, faint wails of pain could be heard.
Following the sound, we found a dozen or so Goguryeo civilians inside. Without exception, their bodies were covered with pus-filled rashes that were smelly and yellowish, with pus mixed with blood flowing out from time to time.

There are also scars, densely packed all over the body, which are obviously the result of scabs from the impetigo.

Huizhen gave another warning, and the Goguryeo soldiers, together with a dozen or so Goguryeo civilians, quickly set out for the Goguryeo royal city.

A few hours passed quickly and the group soon arrived at the royal city.

After the Great Yan army took over the Goguryeo royal city, there were many uneasy factors inside and outside the city, so the inspection was intensified at the city gate at this moment.

The group tried to approach the Dayan military camp many times but returned empty-handed. They could only set their sights on the royal city, where there were also many Dayan soldiers.

However, faced with strict inspections, they could only split up into small groups and sneak into the city in batches.

"Stop! What are you doing?!"

The two Goguryeo soldiers were driving the sick civilians who were groaning constantly. Such suspicious behavior led to them being quickly stopped.

A Goguryeo soldier put his hand on the big sword hidden in the dark, looking ready to attack, obviously intending to attack immediately if he was exposed.

However, another soldier next to him pressed his hand down and gave him a testy look.

"I'm asking you a question! You're acting so sneaky! Is there some unethical conspiracy?"

The soldier checking at the city gate became a little impatient and raised his weapon and shouted.

"Please calm down, sir. My brother has contracted an incurable disease. He is afraid of infecting you, so he stays away from you and doesn't dare to get too close."

The more steady Goguryeo soldier stepped forward and spoke with a smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what was going on.

"Incurable disease? This is really bad luck! How dare you go to the city with such a serious disease! Get out! Get out now!"

The Dayan soldier slurped on the ground, waved his sword in disgust, and forced the three men to step back a few steps.

"My dear general, I am here to take my brother to see a doctor, and I just happened to take refuge with my relatives. Isn't this the royal city full of talented people? That's why we thought of looking for a famous doctor in the city."

The Goguryeo soldier was obviously well-trained. Seeing the reaction of the Tang soldiers, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he walked forward again. While speaking, he took out one or two taels of gold from his sleeve and quickly stuffed it into the hands of the Yan soldiers.

Money makes the world go round! He just doesn't believe that there are still people who won't be tempted by gold!

You know, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is not much! One tael of gold is enough for his daily expenses for a long time. "Well... well... since there is a need to enter the city, everything is easy to say."

Sure enough, under the temptation of gold, the impatience on the soldier's face disappeared a little.

But he had no intention of making way for the three people to come in. Instead, he made a subtle gesture.

"Damn it!"

The Goguryeo soldier was a smart guy and naturally knew what this meant.

He just didn't expect that this soldier from Dayan would take the opportunity to rip him off, and couldn't help but curse inwardly. But he didn't refuse, and quickly slipped another ounce of gold into the soldier's hand.

"Haha... Since you have something to do and can't delay going into the city, then you should go into the city as soon as possible and don't waste time."

After receiving two taels of gold, the soldier's face was full of smiles. He quickly made way to let the people behind him pass.

"call.……"

The Goguryeo soldier who had his hand on the sword hidden in the dark quietly withdrew his hand, then exhaled heavily and wiped away the cold snort from his forehead.

After some twists and turns, the two finally drove the sick Goguryeo soldiers into the royal city as they wished.

The Goguryeo royal city, not far from the city gate.

In the middle of the wide street, a pony was walking slowly, with two figures, one big and one small, sitting on its back. They were Xiao Yuanyuan and Li Kuan.

"Stinky brother-in-law! Get down quickly! Look, the pony is almost unable to move because of you!"

Little Yuanyuan looked at the foal below her, who was struggling under the heavy burden, and couldn't help feeling distressed. She poked Li Kuan a few times with her little hands and said with a pout.

The foal under the two men, not knowing whether it understood what Xiao Yuanyuan said, actually neighed twice and let out two streams of hot air from its nose.

"Look! The pony is protesting against you! Hurry up and get down! If you crush it, you can't afford the compensation!"

When Xiao Yuanyuan heard the foal's voice, she became more determined in her thinking.

It must be because my stinky brother-in-law is too heavy! Otherwise, how could the pony agree with her?
"Sister Yuan! Don't lie with your eyes open! It's obviously because you've eaten too much recently and become fat, which is why the pony is so uncomfortable! If you eat less, this won't happen. It's protesting that you're a fat kid!"

Li Kuan sat on the horse's back, looking around very leisurely. When he heard Xiao Yuanyuan's words, he pointed at her round belly and said, "I'm lying on the foal." At the same time, he secretly patted the foal's butt and silenced it instantly with a slap.

His face was not red and he was not out of breath, and he looked very confident, as if what he said was the truth.

"Who are you calling fat? Who's the fat kid? You're the fat kid! Your whole family is fat kid!"

Xiao Yuanyuan was a little annoyed and glared at Li Kuan fiercely.

"Um... Sister Yuan, aren't you my family? Look at your little face, your belly, and your short legs. What else can you be but a little fat boy?"

Li Kuan seemed not to notice the change in Xiao Yuanyuan's expression and continued speaking.

"Hmph! Get down quickly! Otherwise I'll be angry!"

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Li Kuan, Xiao Yuanyuan snorted and then glanced away, pretending to be angry.

"Um... Sister Yuan, just talk and don't be angry."

Li Kuan saw Xiao Yuanyuan’s angry look and said angrily.

He didn't want Xiao Yuanyuan to get sulky or cry because of these trivial matters.

"Humph!"

Xiao Yuanyuan snorted again, but did not answer. She even closed her eyes and seemed to be indifferent to Li Kuan's words.

That expression clearly meant, you decide for yourself. If you can't satisfy her, she will be angry!
"Okay! Okay! Whatever Sister Yuan says is what it is! I just made a slip of the tongue. Sister Yuan is so pretty, how could she be the little fat boy? I am the little fat boy, I will go down right now."

Li Kuan didn't want to make the little girl angry, so he quickly got off the horse.

"Ouch—"

The foal no longer had the strength to withstand the "oppression" of the man, and suddenly became extremely excited.

It neighed, and then rushed out quickly as if in joy.

"Hey! Slow down! Pony, slow down! I'm about to fall!"

Xiao Yuanyuan was caught off guard and her body was a little unstable. Seeing this, Li Kuan frowned and followed her.

"Brother-in-law! I'm scared! Hurry up and make the pony stop!"

After being bumpy for a while, Xiao Yuanyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her little face quickly turned pale.

She turned around during the bumpy ride and spoke to Li Kuan in a crying voice, with some panic in her voice.

"Sister Yuan, be careful!"

Li Kuan was about to rush forward to stop the pony, but he saw three figures appearing at the other end of the street. They were the three people who had just walked in from the city gate. They were right in the direction where the pony was rushing.

He accelerated instantly and rushed forward.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The pony bumped into someone and fell to the ground, throwing Xiao Yuanyuan on the horse's back away.

Fortunately, Li Kuan appeared in front of her as quickly as possible and caught her.

“Ah—brother-in-law! Ahhhh! I’m going to fall to my death!”

Xiao Yuanyuan was thrown into the air and screamed in fear at first.

When Li Kuan caught her, she seemed not to notice. She was still in Li Kuan's arms, flapping her legs with her eyes closed, and her two chubby little hands were also waving constantly.

"Sister Yuan, everything is fine now, what are you yelling about?"

Li Kuan saw the panic on Xiao Yuanyuan's face and forced himself to hold back his smile as he reminded her.

"Ah? Ah? Am I okay?"
