Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Daozong was not clear about Goguryeo's actions. Although the Ministry of Intelligence may be able to investigate this information, there is no way to send it to him immediately, so it is meaningless.

However, for Datang's current strategic goals, the later Goguryeo came, the greater its advantage over Datang.

When Xue Rengui's follow-up food shipments came, Li Daozong directly started to hire the people near the cities that were about to be abandoned, and asked them to come here to start digging new trenches and horse traps.

Moreover, Li Daozong had people mark all the horse traps excavated. A broken branch was inserted on each horse trap, and a small red cloth was tied on it.

Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen did not come to the front, but he still followed the battle between Goguryeo and Baekje-Silla, but when the latest news from the front was sent back, Yuan Gai Suwen was stunned.

"You mean that the soldiers of Datang have arrived at the border between us and Baekje-Silla?" Yuan Gai Suwen looked in disbelief.

How long has it been?It's been less than a month since they decided to take down Baekje and Silla, right?

According to their calculations, when Datang received the news, it happened that Datang was conducting a national exam.

Calculated according to this time, it will take at least a few months after Datang reacts, sending envoys to question and mediate, and then even if the army is finally dispatched to collect food and grass, etc., even this year has passed.

At that time, no matter how slow Goguryeo was, it had already won at least most of the land of Silla and Baekje, which was quite successful.

But now... in not even a month, Datang's troops have already appeared at the border of the two sides.

This reaction and this decision have completely exceeded Yuan Gai Suwen's opinion, mainly because he seriously misjudged Datang's target of action.

He never expected that Datang would send troops, and the speed was so fast.

Moreover, it also brought another news that surprised Yuan Gai Suwen, that is, the envoy of Tang Dynasty had entered the royal city of Goguryeo, and this envoy came directly from the war zone between the two sides.

In other words, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty followed the Tang army to Baekje and Silla, and then came to Goguryeo.

Yuan Gai Su Wen was silent for a moment, this was completely different from what he expected, didn't the Tang Dynasty devote all its energy to the national imperial examinations?Are the families represented by these generals still busy with other things?

Goguryeo also had imperial examinations. It was because of the imperial examinations that Yuan Gai Suwen knew exactly how much energy such a nationwide imperial examination would involve.

All kinds of officials and so on will be involved, but Datang doesn't seem to be affected at all.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty came, but Yuan Gai Suwen did not go to Gao Jianwu in the end, but was waiting for the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to arrive. He wanted to see what the envoy of the Tang Dynasty had to say.

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't wait too long. Only three days later, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had already arrived at the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang.

But this is the official name, and the Goguryeo people and others have another name for the city, Chang'an City.

That’s right, it’s called Chang’an City. The whole city was completely modeled after Chang’an in the Tang Dynasty, or in other words, Chang’an in the pre-Sui period, so the locals and many foreign businessmen call it Chang’an City.

Of course, the officials definitely can't call it this name, even if they want to, Datang definitely can't be willing.

Xiangli Xuanju looked at the shrunken Chang'an city in front of him, and he couldn't help but sneered. Goguryeo's actions can be said to be admiration for Tang Dynasty, or it can be said that it is ambitious, it depends on how you say it .

Xiangli Xuan Prize came by himself. Although he set off with the army, when he came here, he only brought five or six assistants with him. There was no need for others to come here.

Naturally, there are Goguryeo soldiers around him to protect him.

It is not the first time for Xiangli Xuan Prize to be an envoy. Being an envoy is also a risky thing. You represent the face of Datang outside, and you cannot lose face of Datang. Datang agreed to certain conditions.

These are the things that an excellent diplomat should do, and Xiangli Xuan Prize has undergone professional learning in this regard.

But this time, he came to hold him accountable on behalf of Li Shimin.

After entering Pyongyang City, Xiang Lixuan soon saw Gao Jianwu, and he also saw Yuan Gai Suwen, a famous minister of Goguryeo.

"Gao Jianwu, the king of the subordinate country, has seen the envoys of the Shang Kingdom." Gao Jianwu first saluted Xiangli Xuan Prize.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty announced the imperial edict: Gao Jianwu, the king of the next country, why did you start a war without authorization, repeatedly clashed with Baekje and Silla, and used weapons? Disturbing the situation in the region, disturbing the peace of the region? What do you intend to do?"

"King Gao Jianwu, please answer my imperial edict from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."

Xiangli Xuan Award didn't talk nonsense, and he said Li Shimin's accountability first when he came up, and his tone was unprecedentedly severe.

After he finished speaking, he added something, and saluted Chang An at the same time.

From a certain point of view, this is Datang's first formal diplomatic action since he communicated with Tubo before, oh, Lin Yi is not counted.

Linyi has been directly wiped out. As for Zhenxue, the current relationship with Datang is also from a relatively ambiguous period.

Hearing Xiangli Xuanju's words, the corners of Gao Jianwu's mouth were somewhat bitter. This is not what he wants at all. If he had a choice, he would rather Goguryeo is now safe and sound.

And Gao Jianwu was thinking about his words, but before he could speak, Yuan Gai Suwen who was next to him suddenly said in a stern tone: "This envoy of Xiangli, please be more polite, you are not His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you are just a little envoy, and this is His Majesty the King of Goguryeo."

Yuan Gai Su Wen's interjection was unexpected by most people. Gao Jianwu received Xiangli Xuan Prize, so naturally it is impossible that only Yuan Gai Su Wen was there. This could be regarded as a court meeting in Goguryeo.

The main ministers of Goguryeo are all present.

Most of the ministers were a little stunned, but they didn't intervene after the astonishment passed. After all, between Goguryeo and Datang, the two sides often only maintained a superficial relationship.

"Here, I represent His Majesty. From a certain point of view, what I said is equivalent to His Majesty asking, what? Goguryeo, a vassal state, has objections?" Xiang Lixuan asked with a sneer without changing his face.

As an excellent diplomatic envoy, the scene of Xiangli Xuan Award can still be sustained.
