"Emperor Sui, our Goguryeon has lost, but our king cannot be humiliated.”
"Emperor Sui, how dare you humiliate my king like this?! I, Goguryeo!"
"Emperor Sui, even if the Sui army breaks through the capital, my king…"
......
As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, seven or eight Goguryeon ministers and nobles stepped forward.
Yang Guang didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said.
"Yu Wenshu, since they want to die, let them be.”
Yu Wenshu didn't move. He just signaled with his eyes, and dozens of Sui soldiers immediately rushed in.
A moment later.
The Goguryeon officials and nobles who had just stepped forward to speak were dragged out, and their heads fell to the ground.
This scene scared everyone silly.
They looked at Yang Guang blankly.
At this moment, Yang Guang was still smiling, but this smile made them tremble.
"Some people just don't know their own identities. What are you?”
"The king of a fallen country, the minister of a fallen country, it's me, the prisoner of Great Sui. Shouldn't you be kneeling?”
Yang Guang swept his gaze across the Goguryeon officials and nobles with a cold expression.
"Emperor Sui, Goguryeo has been defeated, but Goguryeo is a country, not some small barbarian tribe.”
"We Goguryeons can be defeated, we can surrender, we can submit to Great Sui, but we cannot be humiliated.”
Prince Rongliu's heart trembled when Yang Guang looked at him. He was very afraid, but he still stood up and said loudly.
Following King Rongliu's words, some of the fearless Goguryeon officials and nobles stepped forward.
"Emperor Sui, my King is the King of Goguryeo. How can I kneel to you?”
"Emperor Sui, although you defeated my Goguryeo, aren't you afraid that the people of Goguryeo will be enraged by your humiliation?”
"Emperor Sui, my Goguryeon can submit to Great Sui, but Great Sui cannot humiliate my Goguryeon.”
......
Yang Guang coldly swept his gaze over the Goguryeon officials and nobles who had stepped forward to speak, and his gaze finally landed on King Rongliu.
Erzhu Rong left the king.
The younger brother of the King of Goguryeo.
He was also a very talented person.
But now that Goguryeo had fallen, there would be no more Goguryeo.
He, Prince Rongliu, what was the point of living?
"Kill him." Yang Guang waved his hand and sneered.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Dozens of Sui soldiers immediately drew their sabers.
Screams rang out as blood splattered across the palace.
Everyone was instantly frightened again, and their bodies trembled endlessly.
They didn't expect Yang Guang to be so violent, killing without any scruples.
"Hmph, you are already the rulers and subjects of a subjugated country, and you still want to put on the airs of a great country?”
"Goguryeo has already fallen, and you are only my prisoners, the prisoners of Great Sui.”
"Humiliated?"
"I will humiliate you, so what?”
Yang Guang glanced at everyone present and sneered.
" Sui Emperor, Sui Emperor, please calm down." Gao Yuan also reacted at this time. He was extremely afraid and his body trembled as he watched this scene.
"Goguryeo is willing to surrender."
"I, Goguryeo, am willing to submit to Great Sui and Emperor Sui.”
"I, Goguryeo, am willing to cede cities and pay reparations.”
A vassal state?
Yang Guang sneered when he heard this.
Was Goguryeo still qualified to become a vassal state of Great Sui?
A vassal state was merely an alliance between countries, and the King of Goguryeo was Yang Guang's brother.
There is a difference between primary and secondary vassal states, with the elder brother as the primary and the younger brother as the secondary.
They called themselves vassals, paid tribute, received the title of China, and called Great Sui the suzerain.
However, this was not what Yang Guang wanted, and Goguryeo did not have the capital or qualifications to do so.
After hearing the Goguryeon King and Gao Yuan's words, all the Goguryeon officials and nobles present knelt down and said.
"Emperor Sui, please calm down.”
"Emperor Sui, please calm down. I, Goguryeo, am willing to submit to Great Sui and Emperor Sui.”
"Emperor Sui, please calm down. I, Goguryeo, am willing to cede cities and pay reparations.”
......
Now that the Goguryeon King had spoken, the Goguryeon officials and nobles no longer had any scruples. They were all afraid of death!
They were not prepared to kneel, but when they saw the corpses, they all knelt down.
They thought to themselves.
"So what if it's a vassal state? As long as we send Yang Guang away, it'll be fine. Moreover, there's already chaos in Great Sui.”
However, they did not think about it. Things were not as simple as they thought.
They were just the rulers and subjects of a fallen country.
Yang Guang had already occupied more than half of Goguryeo's territory, and the capital had also been conquered by him.
Now, their fates were in Yang Guang's hands, not their own.
"Willing to surrender? Willing to submit? Are you willing to cede the city and pay compensation? Are you willing to become a vassal state?"
"Haha, even now, you still don't understand your situation. Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous.”
Yang Guang sneered when he heard this. He really didn't understand what these people were thinking.
He didn't want to pay attention to these crazy people. He looked at the door and shouted,"Chen Zhibao."
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Chen Zhibao stood out and cupped his hands.
"I'll appoint you as the Liaodong Grand Governor, in charge of some of Liaodong's affairs. Out of the 50,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry, I'll leave you 40,000.”
"The Imperial Army will give you another 160,000 soldiers to occupy Goguryeo as soon as possible.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhibao accepted the order and cupped his hands.
Why?
Why should Chen Zhibao be the governor of Liaodong?
Was it because he was the Emperor's trusted aide?
Yu Wenshu's expression did not change at all, but his fists were clenched tightly, indicating the imbalance in his heart.
This time, their Yuwen clan had put in their utmost effort, and their casualties were also very heavy.
"Yu Wenshu, this time, your Yuwen clan has also made many contributions. When we return to Luoyang, we will naturally reward you.”
Yang Guang felt the change in Yu Wenshu, so he glanced at Yu Wenshu and said indifferently.
Even his own dog needed to be fed some bones.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Wenshu hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed when he heard this.
Now that Yang Guang's Emperor Pressure was rising day by day, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction. Even if he had any dissatisfaction, he could only hide it in his heart.
just
Yang Guang's reward for Chen Zhibao made him understand that Yang Guang was preparing to annex Goguryeo.
Yang Guang didn't care about losing cities, paying reparations, or becoming a vassal state. What he wanted was the entirety of Goguryeo.
By the time the Goguryeon King, ministers, and nobles reacted, they were dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Goguryeons present were drenched in cold sweat. They knew that Yang Guang was wiping out Goguryeon.
The King of Goguryeo and Gao Yuan's minds went blank, and their bodies were on the verge of collapsing.
