The surrender led by Qin Meng was quickly learned by Gao Yuan in the north of Liaoshui.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Yuan sent an emissary to further contact with Da Sui.
Envoy Gao Yuan's attitude this time was much more humble, but in terms of specific conditions, it was still different from what Qin Meng requested.
Plead guilty, hand over Shu Shun table. no problem.
But on the issue of protons, Gao Yuan insisted that he would not send protons to the Sui Dynasty.
Qin Meng flatly responded to Gao Yuan. The proton issue is the bottom line of negotiation, and there is no room for negotiation.
The messenger Gao Yuan was probably instructed by Gao Yuan, and he also refused to give up on the proton issue. The two sides seemed to be unable to reach an acceptable consensus at all.
Finally, Qin Meng told the envoy Gao Yuan. At present, other small states in Goguryeo have already expressed their surrender to Da Sui. If Gao Yuan persists, there is nothing to talk about.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is no longer realistic to liquidate Gao Yuan this year.
However, after the winter, there will be spring blossoms at the end of next year.
Moreover, there may not be a torrential rain next year, which can protect Gao Yuan again.
By then, Da Sui really wants to clean up who else, so does he have to send out the army himself
It only takes a few thousand war armor and iron knights, with countless gold and silver treasures, to let others sit and watch, and several more battles of burning down the plain city. When Gao Yuan is like a dog of the funeral, he only needs to pay enough price. I believe that there will be Many people will be thinking about Gao Yuan's head.
Da Sui. Some are people, some are money!
Even if one year can't break you, how about two years? How about three years
As long as you are worried about by the Great Sui, you don't need to hit you specially. Letting the Turkic people and people in your home block you is enough for you to feel uncomfortable.
Da Sui, rich and willful! If you have no money, you can only accept your fate.
The messenger Gao Yuan was scolded by Qin Meng and turned back.
Not a day. This messenger went and returned, indicating that Yingyang Wang Gaoyuan had decided to accept Qin Meng's conditions and was willing to confess his guilt, surrendered and sent protons to the court.
After accepting the conditions, there is no need for Qin Meng to talk nonsense, everything will be discussed by Sima Senator and Wang Wei.
quickly. The two parties formed a negotiation agreement, and everything was carried out in accordance with the agreement.
On Qin Meng's side, he completely returned the commander power to Yang Liang, withdrawing troops, Yang Liang had so many subordinates. Just let them do it.
The Great Sui Dong's army had just evacuated from Goguryeo, and a heavy snow came unexpectedly.
Qin Meng suggested that most of the military brigades could be dispersed and stationed near Youzhou in Yingzhou, and supplies should be provided by the two states. After the beginning of the spring of the coming year, a large-scale evacuation will be carried out.
After the army was settled, Qin Meng followed Yang Liang and other main troops of the Chinese army and withdrew in the direction of Daxing.
Zhou Lie and Wei Da ruled the Feixiao Army. Returned to the team in Dunhuang and returned to the Feixiao Army's headquarters.
When it comes to Daxing, it is almost mid-November.
One year old Dongzheng. Strictly speaking, it was a complete failure.
However, taking into account the process of the Eastern Campaign. Encountered an unimaginable natural disaster, and in the end, the Goguryeo states were able to surrender. Although the Eastern Expedition caused heavy losses to the army, it did not reach the point of being held accountable.
Yang Liang waited for a group of people without reward or punishment. Yang Jian encouraged Yang Liang, and it passed.
But what was surprising was that in the entire Eastern Expedition team, Qin Meng, who seemed to be floating outside the core command circle, received the harshest reprimand.
Qin Meng was reprimanded for three reasons.
first of all. It is passive negligence.
From the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, Qin Meng blindly spread the argument that it is not suitable for the Eastern Expedition, which caused a very bad influence in the court and even the Eastern Expedition.
Secondly, there is no respect for the coach Han Wang Yang Liang. The following commits an act of trespassing.
Finally, it is ultra vires.
It is not impossible to negotiate with the Goguryeo Kowon Ministry, but it is a very serious ultra vires act to negotiate privately without the principled bottom line given by the court.
Qin Meng was surprised by the reprimand from the court.
Although the Eastern Campaign was defeated, personally, Qin Meng was not faultless, and was considered meritorious.
Against this background, looking for three reasons that are very far-fetched at first glance, but it is really a bit unreasonable.
However, how much history has Qin Meng read? There are too many things that refer to a deer as a horse.
Those who have been wronged with hatred and hang up, do not know where they are, just reprimand, it does not matter at all.
Qin Meng honestly accepted the reprimand, and admitted very sincerely that he was inexperienced, so there would inevitably be improprieties in speech and behavior, so he asked the Holy Spirit to punish him.
Finally, since Qin Meng's attitude of admitting his mistake was fair, he would not hold these responsibilities for the time being.
When Qin Meng returned to the palace, the old man Yang Lin felt very sorry for this son. From the beginning, Qin Mengke expressed a very conservative attitude towards Dongzheng.
Facts have proved that Qin Meng's caution is right.
No one could predict that the Eastern Expedition suffered a natural disaster.
However, when dealing with natural disasters, the commander-in-chief Yang Liang and his important generals all have unshirkable responsibilities. (End of this chapter)
