Because of the rainy days, the river water has skyrocketed, and the turbid river water comes from the upper reaches, eroding the river embankment and colliding with the rocks. From time to time, you can hear the bank that is soaked by the river water collapse. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test

There is a large open space on the bank of the river, but a thatched cottage was established at this moment. Gu Han and Yelu Qi sat in the thatched cottage. Here is the place where Gu Han decided to negotiate with the three parties.

These three parties are Li Zaidao, the Goguryeo king, Tan Daoji, and Gu Han, who represented the Tang Dynasty court.

The three parties need to discuss a plan that is acceptable to all parties to change the current situation in Goguryeo.

"The country's strength is poor and weak, so the waist is not strong and the speech is not loud." Seeing some corpses floating in the river from time to time, Gu Han sighed softly. He was used to the prosperity and prosperity of the northern region in China, and the great power of the Tang army. Seeing the Tang army beat the arrogant army to the point of being arrogant, and seeing Tubo bow to the Tang Dynasty and return to the Tang Dynasty's rule, he knew that only when it was strong could a country have the right to speak and autonomy.

This time, he was ordered to arrive in Goguryeo, and ran between the two sides. When he saw the terrible scene in Goguryeo, he couldn't help but feel moved.

In Gu Han's opinion, Li Ze did not necessarily have any kindness to Goguryeo, and Li Zaidao or Tan Daoji really wanted to get any benefits from the Tang Dynasty court, and it would have to pay a price.

The difference is that Zhang Zhongwu is robbing clearly, and in the future, Li Xiang may change to a more peaceful way.

Basically, Gu Han, who has been engaged in these jobs, knew very well that under Li Ze's control, the Tang Dynasty had never thought about any brotherly country. What he wanted was just a group of followers and younger brothers.

Listening to Gu Han's sigh, Yelu Yuan, who was sitting beside him, naturally had a deep feeling. When he was young, it was the time when the Khitan was most prosperous. The Khitan cavalry at that time could be said to have suppressed the Tang Dynasty. Sadly, his generation witnessed the entire process of how the Khitan went from prosperity to decline. A huge empire collapsed in less than twenty years. Former nobles like them fell one by one, and in the end, they had to become military thugs like Zhang Zhongwu, in order to get a bite from the other party in exchange for the survival of the entire tribe.

When he was flirting with wealth and food, he never thought that he would fall to this point?

The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed!

"Pu Zicheng is here." Seeing a black-paned boat down the water upstream, Yelu Qi stood up and said.

Park Zicheng is Lee Jae-do's confidant and the full envoy of Lee Jae-do in this negotiation.

The blond boat leaned against the shore, and Park Zicheng jumped off the boat with his robe. He looked up at the cottage not far from the river, reached out to open an oil paper umbrella, and came here alone.

Almost when Park Zicheng's ship was docking, another black-peng boat went upstream from the downstream direction, and reached the shore a hundred steps apart. An old man in green robe also got off the boat with an oil-paper umbrella.

"This is Tan Daoji's younger brother, Tan Daozhen." Yelu Yuan introduced.

Park Zicheng and Tan Daozhen arrived outside the cottage almost at the same time, shook their hands and put away the oil-paper umbrella. The two of them looked at each other deeply, and saw each other's deep hostility in their eyes.

Both sides have been fighting for many years.

First, he fought in the court, but as the prime minister, Tan Daoji gained the upper hand, and he suppressed the king Li Zaidao to the point of breath. He was only one step away from being able to do the decree.

Then, Zhang Zhongwu inserted it in.

At that time, Li Zaidao, who had no way out, thought he was leaning on a big tree and couldn't wait to introduce Zhang Zhongwu's power to wipe out Tan Daoji. The two convenient developments from court struggle to force confrontation.

Then, Tan Daoji's side was defeated by the coalition forces of Zhang Zhongwu and Li Zaidao. Seeing that he was about to lose, Li Ze, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, intervened again, becoming a solid backing for Tan Daoji's side. Tan Daoji's strength suddenly increased, stabilized the situation, and then the two conveniences fell into a tug-of-war, and no one could do anything to anyone.

However, the contest between the two sides has made the people of Goguryeo suffer.

The most wonderful thing is that both sides think that they are the messengers of justice and the politically correct side of Goguryeo. It is the other party that ruined the overall situation, which led to Goguryeo becoming what he is now.

At this point, Li Zaidao's voice was much weaker. Even though they believed that if Tan Daoji had not abused power and wanted to usurp the throne, they would not have attracted Zhang Zhongwu. However, now Zhang Zhongwu has become a big sword on Goguryeo's head. He did whatever he wanted in Goguryeo, and if he did anything he wanted, he would have a knife and axe. While the Goguryeo court was going to fight with Tan Daoji in order to worship Zhang Zhongwu, he was still unable to maintain it.

However, even so, Tan Daoji could not defeat his opponent, because behind Li Zaidao was Zhang Zhongwu's army. Although Tan Daoji received the support of Li Ze, he was still at a disadvantage in the military.

It was really in his army that he could not defeat the Liao army of Zhang.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the political foundation for the two sides to sit down to negotiate.

Whether it was Li Zaidao or Tan Daoji, they all clearly realized that if this continues, Goguryeo will really destroy its country. If they really come to this point, what will they fight for in the end?

Is it a slave to the destruction of the country?

"Doctor Park, General Tan, I have been waiting for a long time, please!" Gu Han bowed and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Sima Gu, you're polite." The two people on the opposite side also gave the gift with their hands crossed.

Goguryeo was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty culture. The powerful and powerful people in the country could speak fluent Tang language. The two people in front of them could not only speak Tang language, but also recite poems and essays in Tang language. Even in the Tang Dynasty, they could be regarded as talented men. Just looking at the clothes and conversations of the two, those who don’t know would never think that they were all Goguryeo.

"It's really rare for us to get together. General Yelu prepared a few drinks, so let's drink a few glasses first." Gu Han turned sideways and asked Park Zicheng and Tan Daozhen to enter the house.

The house was built temporarily, so it was naturally extremely simple. Several benches were nailed, and the table was just two large tree stumps merged together.

"There is no good food in the army. The men cooked some wild game and cooked it casually in a big pot, but the wine was excellent." Yelu Yuan smiled and poured the wine for the few people.

Park Zicheng looked at Yelu Yuan, but his emotions were a little unspeakable. When he first learned that Yelu Yuan had surrendered to the Tang court, he was shocked to the point where he was indescribable. No wonder Tan Daoji had never been able to wipe out. The generals of Zhang Zhongwu's side had already been in a quarrel with the Tang court. It was really strange that he could wipe out Tan Daoji.

But now it seems that it is really hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. He came from Seoul, and the atmosphere in Seoul is now extremely bad. If Tan Daoji is really destroyed, it is really hard to say whether the king can sit in that position.

At present, Zhang Chengyou's fierce appearance is becoming more and more obvious. Private rumors are rampant, and it is all the legend that Zhang Zhongwu intends to be the king of Goguryeo. It is precisely because of this reason that Li Zaidao had to speed up the negotiation process.

At this point, Park Zicheng was relieved. Now it seems that it is a matter of time before Zhang Zhongwu's destruction. Even a general like Yelu Yuan betrayed him. How long can Zhang Zhongwu be rampant?

"Come on, everyone, drink!" Gu Han raised his wine glass.

Park Zicheng and didn't move. Looking at Gu Han, he said, "Gu Sima, I have a few words that I want to say first. After that, if there is a satisfactory answer for us, then Park can drink this wine."

Gu Han smiled, put down his wine glass, and reached out and said, "Doctor Park, please speak out."

"What is Li Xiang's opinion on Goguryeo in the future?" Park Zicheng said: "Zhang Zhongwu's wolf ambition is becoming more and more obvious now. He wants to merge our Goguryeo. If Li Xiang means this in the future, then I can't drink this wine, and there is no need to continue this negotiation. A wolf enters the front door and a tiger comes from the back door, and this tiger is much more fierce than a wolf. To be embarrassed, we can resist for a while when facing the wolf. If we introduce Li Xiang's big tiger into the door, we will really have no resistance in the future."

Tan Daozhen nodded repeatedly: "Gu Sima, my brother also means this. The premise of this negotiation is to first determine the status of Goguryeo in the future. Otherwise, we, Tan, would rather continue to deal with each other in the deep mountains and old forests."

Gu Han smiled slightly: "Li Xiang had already explained this issue before I came. Even if you don't ask, I will make it clear first. The Tang Dynasty had no interest in Goguryeo's territory. Goguryeo will be an independent country in the past, present, and future."

"Are you serious about this?" Park Zicheng and Tan Daozhen both had a bright look in front of them.

"Who is Li Xiang? What he said is not much different from the golden mouth and jade words, right? How could he deceive the two of you by saying something nonsense?" Gu Han said seriously.

"What is the price?" Although Park Zicheng and Tan Daozhen were overjoyed, they naturally knew that there was no feast for free in this world.

"Of course there are conditions." Gu Han raised the cup with a smile and said, "But for Li Xiang's promise, should we have a drink first?"

"Of course, if Lee Sang really thinks this way, let alone a cup, I will drink it too." Park Zicheng drank it all, but after drinking it, he coughed violently.
