Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 221 The Surrender of Bohai Kingdom
Seeing that the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were suppressed on the city wall, Li Fei waved his hand again.

The two Anton cavalry led the horse dragging the thunderbolt and rushed to the gate of Shangjing City.

Because it is located in the bitter cold area of ​​the Northeast Sea, Shangjing City does not have anything like a moat, so two Anton cavalry came straight to the closed city gate.

Two boxes full of thunderbolts were quickly unloaded and placed at the city gate.And the box was opened, revealing the thunderbolt bombs inside.

The two Anton Iron Knights each ignited the fuzes of the two thunderbolts inside the box with a torch.Then, they quickly got on their horses and galloped back.

Inside the city, King Bohai had just escaped from the city wall. Some arrows flew over the city wall and flew into the city, densely packed like locusts. King Bohai's scalp was numb, and he was afraid that one of the short-sighted ones would be inserted into his body.

Before the King of Bohai could take a breath.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There were several loud bangs suddenly, and a fiery air wave rushed into the city mixed with fragments of the city gate.

Although King Bohai's body was not facing the city gate, he was still hit by the blazing waves and almost fell to the ground.The old minister who was with the King of Bohai was not so lucky, he just lay down on the ground, and he didn't know if this old bone would just die like this.

Apparently, this old bone didn't die so easily, so he got up trembling.

"Fa, what happened?" The King of Bohai was so shocked that his head was buzzing, his face was dazed, he didn't know what happened, and in his decades of knowledge, there had never been such a thing .

A large number of soldiers from the Bohai Kingdom on the city wall and around them also looked shocked and dazed. In their cognition, such a thing had never happened before.

"Big, big, king, the city gate, the city gate is broken!" A soldier looked at the broken city gate, opened his mouth wide in shock, with an expression of disbelief.

"What!" King Bohai's eyes widened instantly.

"This, this—" Looking in the direction of the city gate, it is clear that there are only some dilapidated things left at the original city gate, and the inside and outside of the city can be seen at a glance!King Bohai pointed at the broken city gate, his hands were shaking all the time, he couldn't believe it was real.

The city gate was clearly fine, but suddenly it was broken into pieces, what did Tang Jun do!
It's over!It's over!
No matter what happened, no matter how Tang Jun destroyed the city gate in an instant, the city gate was gone.Once the Tang army's iron cavalry took the opportunity to enter the city, relying on the more than 3 soldiers with no morale in the city, it would not be enough to resist anyway. Bohai Kingdom is over, and he is also over!

King Bohai was full of despair, his legs went limp, and he slumped down on the ground.

The officials and nobles of the Bohai Kingdom who followed the King of Bohai also turned pale, full of despair!
However, they waited for a long time, but they didn't see Tang Jun rushing into the city!
"King of Bohai, hurry out of the city and surrender, or you will destroy Bohai!" Outside the city, Li Fei asked his soldiers to shout in unison.

The sound spread into the city, and the king of Bohai looked ashamed.

"Your Majesty, let's go out of the city and surrender!" the veteran persuaded King Bohai.

Out of town and surrender?

King Bohai's body trembled suddenly, and his face subconsciously showed reluctance. He subconsciously thought that Tang Jun would not let him go, and he might be killed if he went out.

"Your Majesty, the gate of the city is broken, and the Tang army will rush into the city at any time. We have no room to bargain with the Tang army. According to what the Tang army said, and they didn't directly enter the city, they probably don't want to destroy our Bohai Kingdom. As long as your king Sincerely, there may not be a glimmer of life!" The veteran sighed and persuaded again.

King Bohai froze for a moment, yes, he didn't have any chance to bargain, if he didn't go out and waited for the Tang army to enter the city, he couldn't escape.If he goes out, if Tang Jun really has no plans to destroy the Bohai Kingdom, he may really have a chance. Even if Tang Jun does not let him go, it may not affect other members of the royal family.In short, as long as the Bohai Kingdom and the royal family are kept, it is really up to him.

The King of Bohai had no choice but to walk out of the city gate tremblingly, accompanied by the old minister and some other officials and generals.

Li Fei ignored King Bohai as he walked out of the city gate and surrendered.

"Da Qinmao, King of Bohai Sea, you are guilty!" Li Fei shouted angrily!

"Daqin Maozhi, guilty!" King Bohai broke out in cold sweat. At this moment, his life and death are in Li Fei's hands. A little anger from Li Fei can make his heart tremble. The next sentence declared his death.

"The Great Tang treats you very well, the Bohai Kingdom. When the Bohai Kingdom was established as a country, it was once enshrined by the Great Tang and enjoyed the favor of the Great Tang. But you, the Bohai Kingdom, dared to raise troops to offend the Great Tang. It was an act of revenge!" Li Feihan shouted with a straight face. For example, the "crimes" of the Balhae State aroused the greatest fear in the heart of the King of Balhae.

The King of Bohai was ashamed. How did he know that Datang was so powerful? With only one Anton Governor's Mansion, he almost sent all his troops to attack, but suffered a disastrous defeat in just a few days, and [-] soldiers lost the battlefield .Moreover, the Tang army directly approached the city of Shangjing and destroyed the city gate. As long as they rushed into the city, Bohai Guozuo would come to an end.

If the Bohai Kingdom were to perish, how would he, Da Qinmao, face the ancestors of the Bohai Kingdom?
Li Fei reprimanded him for a while, and seeing that the King of Bohai was completely desperate and ashamed, he finally let go.

"Because it is not easy for you to establish a country in Bohai, and you have always respected the Tang Dynasty before. Today, I will keep you as the king of Bohai and will not destroy the country! As the king of Bohai, it is not easy for you to defend it, so let's save your life for now!" Li Fei said loosely.

"Dare to thank the Great Tang Anton Jiedu for not destroying the Bohai Kingdom, and the kindness of not killing the little king. After this battle, the Bohai Kingdom will respect the Tang Dynasty for generations, and dare not offend in the slightest." Seeing that Li Fei finally said immortality For the words of the Bohai Kingdom, especially if he is not killed, the king of Bohai finally showed surprise on his face, and he looked very excited. This is a kind of hope gained under despair, and excitement is inevitable.

Li Fei nodded, and then it was time to talk about the conditions.

"After all, the Bohai Kingdom raised troops to the Tang Dynasty for no reason, causing thousands of deaths and injuries to the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty. The death penalty is inevitable, but the necessary punishment is still needed as a warning in the future! From today, the Bohai Kingdom must abide by the following rules, listen carefully!" Li Fei's voice was cold.

"Xiao Wang will obey everything!" Da Qinmao, King of Bohai, wanted to prick up his ears so that Li Fei could clearly see that he was listening carefully.

"First, the Bohai Kingdom will hand over all the current good horses."

"Second, Bohai Kingdom surrendered to Datang and became a vassal state of Datang, and arranged for the next generation of Bohai Kingdom's prince to go to Chang'an City as a hostage. In the future, Bohai Kingdom will be dismissed depending on its performance."

"Thirdly, Bohai State is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. From today onwards, all generals and officials in office must be able to communicate directly with the Tang Dynasty in Central Plains Chinese of the Tang Dynasty. After one year of envoy, people will be sent to spot check!" In Li Feiqi's mind, he didn't say that everyone in Bohai State should learn Chinese, because that would be impossible in a few decades unless the entire population is educated. But anyone who wants to be an official or general in Bohai State must learn it Over time, Chinese will unknowingly become the main common language of Bohai State. If there is an opportunity to annex Bohai State in the future, it will be much easier to truly Sinicize.

Next, Li Fei raised several additional conditions. In short, in order to allow Bohai State to better implement the third article, he did not exploit Bohai State too much.

Although the Bohai Kingdom paid a painful price, it finally kept its foundation, and the King of Bohai was lucky enough.

Immediately, Li Fei asked Bohai State why it sent troops to attack Datang.

The king of Bohai didn't dare to hide anything, so he called the envoy who had paid tribute to Chang'an City, and told the story from his mouth.Only then did Li Fei realize that it was Yang Guozhong's conspiracy.

"Hmph! The old man Yang Guozhong is so vicious. In order to frame me, he did not hesitate to suffer unnecessary wars on the border of Andong, and the people on the border of Andong suffered unnecessary wars. It is really hateful! With this incident, you should not think about it! No, not only Yang Guozhong was disturbed for a while. , and maybe drag An Lushan into the incident, and let his ambition of rebellion slowly begin to be exposed——" Li Fei was also planning his own conspiracy in his heart.

Li Fei immediately comforted the King of Bohai, telling him that this war might just be a conspiracy of some people in his Bohai Kingdom, and was deliberately instigated by others. Some people wanted to achieve some kind of conspiracy, and Li Fei asked him to send protons to Chang'an City at the same time. , also brought the envoy with him, and personally explained the cause and effect to Tang Xuanzong.

Of course, the king of Bohai agreed one by one.

Moreover, from Li Fei's words, he also heard that he was framed by others in the Bohai Kingdom. He should not have sent troops to attack Datang, otherwise he would not have suffered today's loss. The King of Bohai also hated the Bohai Kingdom for framed people.

After solving the matter of the Bohai Kingdom, Li Fei wrote another detailed memorial, and sent this memorial and the letter of surrender written by the King of Bohai himself to Chang'an City.
