    The word "surrender" is easy to say, but so heavy to do.

    The Goguryeo envoy who came out with a white flag appeared in front of the Sui army and submitted a letter of surrender to the Sui army.  At this time, Zhou Fashang's tribe, who was attacking the palace, saw the opponent surrendering. His first reaction was that the opponent was pretending to surrender again.

    The main reason is that Goguryeo surrendered too many times in the Liaodong battlefield. Zhou Fashang experienced Goguryeo's false surrender, and each time he bought time in the name of surrender.  In front of the Sui army, Goguryeo had no credibility at all.

    Zhou Fashang hurriedly recruited Huang Mingli. Although Huang Mingyuan was his main general, Huang Mingli had a special status after all.  If the Goguryeo people really surrender, Huang Mingli, as Huang Mingyuan's younger brother, will definitely lead the surrender. Among the three armies, he is the only one qualified to accept Gao Yuan's surrender on behalf of Huang Mingyuan.

    Huang Mingli also felt the same about Zhou Fashang's concerns, and he was not sure about the fight for the position.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Attack the troops first, then the second, attack the enemy, the third, the troops, and the third, attack the city.  The palace of Goguryeo is strong and tall. If you attack the city for a while, it will take a lot of effort. If you can really drive away the enemy's troops without fighting, it will really save a lot of effort.

    Therefore, the two discussed that they could accept Goguryeo's surrender, but Gao Yuan must open the door to surrender in person, otherwise the Sui army's attack would not stop.

    The envoy received a reply from the Sui army and was sent back to the city without even daring to argue.

    Surrender is not that easy.

    According to etiquette, the surrender ceremony is also a very complicated ceremony.  Both parties have fixed standards for how to do and say things according to the process.  But the premise is that you are not lifted up from the well like Chen Shubao.

    Gao Yuan also wanted to surrender according to the etiquette of the Sui people. It was not that he admired the culture of the Han people or liked the red tape, but that he hoped to use etiquette to make himself less embarrassed.

    But as the king of a subjugated country, he is already in the greatest embarrassment. All the struggles are just for the last bit of pitiful self-esteem.  Even here, you have to meet a good enemy commander.  If the opponent is like Deng Ai and Han Qinhu, it can also give the subjugated king some dignity, but if the opponent is like Li Shimin and Nianhan, all that is left is humiliation.

    Gao Yuan wanted to maintain the last bit of dignity, but Pyongyang couldn't afford to wait.

    Everyone urged Gao Yuan to surrender to the Sui army immediately, otherwise it would be hard to say what would happen if the Sui army broke through the palace.  Even being killed directly is possible.

    Finally, Gao Yuan had no choice but to open the palace door. Wearing a linen coat, with his hands tied behind his back, he loaded the coffin on a cart. With more than 60 people from the clan and ministers, he knelt to welcome the heavenly army and offered six hundred pieces of Goguryeo inheritance.  The seal of the year.

    Gao Yuan knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Gao Yuan, the king of the lower country, has betrayed his kindness and asked for it. He has to work far away with horses, boats and chariots. I beg for mercy, but I dare not give up the ceremony of binding my father-in-law with my face. I look up to pray for you, and I bow down.  Ling Jing, sincerely frightened, paused."

    When Gao Yuan said "pause", the remaining Goguryeo soldiers inside and outside the palace gate all knelt on the ground and burst into tears.  There were even some veterans who knelt on the ground and whined sadly until they died of exhaustion.

    Everyone inside and outside the city knew that the king was surrendering to the Sui army. They all faced the palace and cried bitterly. The entire city of Pyongyang fell into a cry.

    Gao Yuan was also stung by the scene, and tears fell down.

    It was Huang Mingli who accepted the surrender of Goguryeo.

    In fact, Huang Mingli had not thought about how to treat Gao Yuan before.  However, before setting off, his brother once told him to ensure the stability of Pyongyang City and ensure that it is completely in the hands of the Sui army and there will be no major turbulence. This is the bottom line.

    Therefore, facing Gao Yuan's surrender, Huang Mingli looked at the Goguryeo people kneeling on the ground, got off his horse, and walked towards Gao Yuan without saying a word.

    When Gao Yuan saw the opponent's general walking towards him, he was in a state of confusion.  He didn't know what the Sui people would do with him, or even whether they might kill him directly.

    Huang Mingli walked to Gao Yuan, took the seal offered by the Goguryeo people with both hands, handed it to the bodyguard beside him, then helped Gao Yuan up and untied the rope from Gao Yuan's hand.  He took off his cloak and put it on Gao Yuan.

    "You don't have to be like this, Lord Liaodong!"

    Huang Mingli was also very surprised when he saw the scene today.  He could see that although Goguryeo's six-hundred-year-old society was about to be cut off, there were countless people who loved Goguryeo.  My brother said that the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo not just to plunder and then leave, but to completely occupy it and turn it into the territory of the Han family. Therefore, they needed to maintain stability in various places, even with the Goguryeo people.  Win hearts and minds.

    Huang Mingli treated Gao Yuan so politely just to calm the hearts of the Goguryeo people.  The sound of being called Duke of Liaodong at least made Gao Yuan feel??The sincerity of the Sui Dynasty.

    This person, unless forced hard, will not dare to change. He will adapt to the current situation and finally accept the current situation.  Huang Mingli knew that what the Sui Dynasty had to do was to make the other party adapt to the current rule of the Sui Dynasty.

    Gao Yuan originally thought that the other party would humiliate him, and was even prepared to be humiliated, but Huang Mingli helped him up, which was considered a courtesy to him.

    Gao Yuan is like a person who is about to die of thirst in the desert and is given a bottle of water as a gift, with red eyes.

    "Thank you, General!"

    Huang Mingli said: "Liaodong County Duke, you and I are the emperor's ministers, and we should be loyal and do our best. Do you think you are as bad as a Turkic Khan? If you had known about this, why bother in the beginning."

    Gao Yuan said in panic: "I am the one who is guilty!"

    Huang Mingli said: "The Emperor is benevolent. As long as you sincerely repent, the Emperor will definitely forgive your sins!"

    Gao Yuannai bowed and said: "His Majesty Emperor Fu Wei has a great destiny and a great plan. His benevolence in not killing has been followed by Tang and Wu, and his virtue of living well has finally become more beautiful in Tang and Yu. He hopes to patronize the great sage Zhao Zao  My kindness is to preserve the prosperity of the country, and I will be lucky even if I die."

    Huang Mingli asked people to burn the coffin carried by Gao Yuan on the spot, and asked Gao Yuan to ride into the city with him in the same car.

    This surrender satisfies both parties.  At least the Sui army made it clear that it would not massacre Goguryeo.  And Goguryeo also came to an end in a relatively successful surrender ceremony.

    Huang Mingli then ordered a large group of cavalry to enter the palace and take over the important places in the palace and the six hundred years of savings of the Goguryeo royal family.

    When a large group of Sui army cavalry broke through the palace in Pyongyang City, this six-hundred-year-old Haedong Kingdom was destroyed.

    Huang Mingli was very polite to Gao Yuan, but he did not lose his awareness.  Although Gao Yuan surrendered, he certainly could not stay in Pyongyang.  Therefore, he ordered Gao Yuan's family, royal family, ministers and others to be brought on board the ship and transported to Liaodong.

    As for Gao Yuan himself, it seemed that he had already known the fate he would face, so he did not and did not dare to resist at all, so he was sent to the Sui warship.

    Standing on the deck, Gao Yuan looked back at Pyongyang City with tears in his eyes. He knew that he would never come back in this life.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
