Chapter 750 Negotiation

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "If this memorial for victory is delivered to Chang'an, it will probably shock the government and the people, and the whole country will celebrate!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "I also need to write a letter to Qingzhou and ask the Qingzhou General Manager to send someone to confirm it. I guess after the victory memorial was sent to Chang'an, the emperor and the prime ministers might not believe it, thinking that we lied about military affairs and exaggerated our military achievements. Send people from Chang'an to verify it, and it will take a lot of time, so we just let the Qingzhou General Manager send someone to verify it first. This will be faster, so we don't have to wait in Goguryeo for too long!"

Su Dingfang nodded and said, "It's better that the prince thinks about things thoroughly, so I'll write a memorial to Chang'an and a letter to Qingzhou to support him. Not to ask the Qingzhou General Manager to verify it, but to ask him to support him. In this way, things will be safe."

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, just do it this way. I'll be relieved to do it!" After giving the order, he asked the Qingzhou soldiers to bring in two chairs. He took the treasure king's hand, stepped on the chair, stood on the battlements, and kept waving to the Goguryeo people.

The Treasure King didn't understand why he waved his hands around. He was different from Li Zhi. Li Zhi liked to listen to the cheers of the people, but he was a little scared. Years of "raising" life made him afraid of contacting strangers, especially the people below were crying loudly. Although Wang Ping'an kept telling him that the people were crying with joy, he still didn't want to stay on the city wall.

Seeing that the treasure king was about to cry, Wang Ping'an hurriedly called the messenger and shouted: "My adopted son, as the king of Goguryeo, now accepts cheers from the people, but the cheers are not loud enough to show the people's love for him!"

He paused, got off his chair, called the messenger to come over, and whispered: "Didn't there be many people who want to be my people in the Tang Dynasty? Let's tell them that as long as they cheer at the king and shout Qiansui, then after they shout, they can receive the rations for a day, and then wait here, saying that we will send them a document to confess that they are people of the Tang Dynasty!"

The messenger thought to himself: "We just burned up the capital of other people and burned up all the houses. Look at how they cried. Now they still want to recruit people to be the people of the Tang Dynasty. Who can do it? Even if there are a few who don't take *** seriously, there may not be many!"

The commander troops went down the city wall and passed the orders down. To the expectations of the Qingzhou soldiers, they only talked about food rations and then talked about being a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, there were indeed not many people responded, and most of them reported a wait-and-see attitude. Even if some people came, they were similar to rogues. Changing dynasties did not matter to these people, but when they came to get food rations, they would still be coldly watched by many people!

The Qingzhou soldiers' attitude towards these rogues who "rejected bravely" changed. They not only sent large pieces of horse meat, but even gave them sticks to them to maintain the order of the people... The situation changed immediately!

The country is in chaos and the national destruction is strong. The people of Goguryeo are most concerned about how to survive, not who the king is. After all, face cannot be eaten. As long as you surrender to the Tang army, you can have something to eat. Then you can surrender for the time being. At worst, you can have time to rebel when you are full!

At the beginning, the Qingzhou soldiers asked the people of Goguryeo to cheer on the city wall after receiving the rations. However, as more and more people came to surrender, the demands naturally increased. The people of Goguryeo must first cheer to the city before they can receive the rations. The cheers must be loud, otherwise the cheers will be in vain, and the rations will not be given. Anyway, some people are, you don’t cheer, and some people are cheering!

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the kingdom; the king is thousands of years old, thousands of years old!" Cheers are heard one after another, louder than another!

After a while, thousands of people yelled with their necks, screaming loudly and deafeningly!

Wang Ping'an stood back on the chair, looked down, and smiled, "This is like a little talk. Very good, very good. My son, now the people cheer you, do you feel a sense of awe in your heart and want to say something to them?"

He turned his head and looked at the Treasure King, thinking in his heart that he wanted to teach Treasure King how to give a speech. He spoke in a vernacular way to the people of Goguryeo, encouraged the people to rebuild their homes and strive to be loyal to the Treasure King!

But when he turned his head, he saw the Treasure King shaking and standing on the chair and shaking. Not only that, he also had tears in his eyes, and it seemed that he was about to cry!

Wang Ping'an was shocked. What's wrong with this child? Why is this kind of virtue too unprosperous? Has he never presided over any ceremony before, nor received cheers from the people? As the king, presiding the ceremony is a must, and there is no possibility of not having any experience at all!

The fact is that the Treasure King really has no experience at all. Not to mention accepting the cheers of the people, he has never seen many men, and has never seen so many people under the city. Since he was a child, he has never heard of any big noise. At most, he just knocks on his rice bowl during meals, which makes a sound!

It was okay if Wang Ping'an didn't ask him. After asking, the treasure king burst into tears and shouted: "I want to go back to the palace, I want to go back to the palace!" This time he was talking Goguryeo and shouted.

Wang Ping'an quickly pulled him off the chair and asked, "Why are you crying? What are you saying? Say the words of our Tang Dynasty, don't say the words of Goguryeo, I don't understand it for my father!"

But the Treasure King just opened his mouth and cried, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

Wang Ping'an waved to the translator and asked, "What did he say just now, but was he saying that I was not good at Tang Dynasty?" If this treasure king dared to speak nonsense, don't blame him for not caring about the "father-son relationship". He had to lock this unfilial son in a small black tent and hungry him for a few days!

The translator hurried up and said, "When you say to the prince, your new son misses home, and you are asking to go home!" After the words were translated, he smiled. How old is this king, why is he still like an ignorant child?

Wang Ping'an said oh and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have to go home, not to have breastfeeding, otherwise I would ask him to find a nurse!"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Ping'an asked Tongyi to lead the treasure king down the city wall. He faced the city and looked at the Lifangs that were burned into rubble.

He thought to himself: "As for Goguryeo's current national strength, if you want to remove these rubble and build the capital, the manpower and material resources will be far more than building a new city directly. However, if the cost is greater, the higher the taxes will be, the more chaotic the situation will be. So it's better to build it on the original site, so that our Tang Dynasty can be more at ease!"

After thinking about his thoughts for a while, Wang Ping'an went down the city wall, turned around the camp, and waited for the infantry general of Yuangasuwen to send someone to surrender to him.

It is estimated that today's acceptance ceremony will make the infantry general feel at ease. As long as he can surrender, Wang Ping'an can return to the Tang Dynasty with confidence, and the war in Goguryeo will come to an end. As for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fully annex this country, it is the matter of a general like Li Ji.

Wang Ping'an sat in the tent and thought to himself: "If you want me to come here again, I won't come if I beat you to death. The reason is that I'm seasick!"

It was getting dark and there was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the infantry general of Yuangasuwen really sent someone to test it, wanting to see the attitude of the Tang army and wanting to find out what kind of treatment the Tang army would give him if he surrendered. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just that the terms had been negotiated and he wanted to surrender with the conditions!

Wang Ping'an was so nervous that he personally received the Goguryeo general and invited the Treasure King to let their king and ministers meet. What surprised Wang Ping'an was that the general did not know Treasure King, and Treasure King also said that it was the first time he had seen him!

Since the infantry general sent this general, it means that this general is definitely a heavyweight figure and can be regarded as the deputy general of the infantry unit. However, the treasure king did not recognize such a powerful general, and the general did not recognize the king of his country. This is really a big deal!

The generals of the Qingzhou Army were all surprised by this. It was hard to imagine that the small court in Goguryeo could have such a thing happened, which really opened the eyes!

Wang Ping'an didn't say anything, but instead expressed his understanding of this, and also acted as an introducer to introduce the king of Goguryeo to the general of Goguryeo!

After a negotiation, the conditions were made. Wang Ping'an put forward three requirements: First, Goguryeo must submit to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year. The amount of tribute is one-tenth of the annual tax revenue of Goguryeo, and can be paid with war horses and copper; second, infantry generals must continue to regard the Treasure King as the king. If the Treasure King dies, the Goguryeo people will not be allowed to establish a king by themselves, but will be appointed by the Tang Dynasty to choose the King; third, Goguryeo immediately broke off diplomatic relations with Baekje. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer Baekje, Goguryeo would send troops to serve as a servant army and follow the Tang army to fight Baekje.

The general was fully in power on behalf of the infantry general and agreed to all these three requirements. As for the conditions he proposed, there was only one, that is, to allow the infantry general to replace Yoon Gaisuwen, inherit all the power of Yoon Gaisuwen, and become the Moli branch of Goguryeo's national protection!

Wang Ping'an naturally agreed and wrote a letter in person, promising this matter. The letter can not only calm the hearts of infantry generals, but also serve as a certificate. If Wang Ping'an regrets it in the future, the infantry generals can publish this letter and send someone to the Tang Dynasty to report Wang Ping'an's letter.

After the conditions were negotiated, the general left the camp and rushed back to report the message. That night, the infantry general came to the camp with a group of generals to pay homage to Wang Ping'an and the Treasure King.

The infantry general's surname is Che's name Zhengxian. Now he still has 30,000 Goguryeo infantry in his hands, but as long as he expands, he can quickly reach 100,000, which is enough to fight against those city lords!

Wang Ping'an personally welcomed the camp out of the camp, and was far away, shouting: "Are you the Great Moli Car in Goguryeo?"

When Che Zhengxian heard this, he was ecstatic. It seemed that Tang Jun really wanted to support him, otherwise how could he call him Damo Lizhi in public!
