Early the next morning, many people got up and looked at the street through cracks in doors or windows or walls out of curiosity.

Because the night was so peaceful, there were no house-to-house searches or looting.

In Xicheng District, when the people saw that the streets were full of Tang officers and soldiers sleeping, they looked incredulous.

These people actually didn't expropriate people's houses, didn't plunder everywhere, and just slept quietly on the street.

Many people lamented that the Tang army was indeed a benevolent and righteous army, which was indeed different from their Goguryeo army.

Jin En was also walking on this road. In the morning, someone told them that their Generalissimo wanted to see him and walked from the East City to the West City.

He saw that although the doors of their people were closed, the streets were not messy. It must have not been plundered.

And when he saw the Tang army sleeping beside the street, he was also shocked. The Tang army slept on the street in order not to disturb the people.

This was the first time he had seen it in more than [-] years of military service, and he couldn't understand it.

Today Li Chengqian got up early and went into the city, but Li Shen was forced to get up.

The marshal's tent was set up in the Wengcheng of the West City. When Jin En was brought into the tent, it was already full of people.

They are all generals from this Eastern Expedition, as well as Li Shen, who is sleeping in the corner.

"General Jin En, I have met the Generalissimo." Jin En saluted Li Chengqian, who was in the first place. He did not have as tough an attitude as in the TV series.

"Haha, General Jin is sitting here. You slept well last night." Li Chengqian said to Jin En with a smile. He wanted to subdue Jin En and help Datang attack Goguryeo.

"Come back to Marshal, everything is fine. Datang is indeed a benevolent and righteous man, and our soldiers are well fed and sleeping well," Jin En replied.

"General Jin, our Grand Marshal is the current Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that General Jin is a rare talent, so our Crown Prince specially wants to meet General Jin."

Li Daozong on the side said to Jin En. The meaning is obvious, this is our prince, the future emperor.

I heard that you are a talented person. I want to meet you and don’t be ignorant.

When Jin En heard that he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was surprised. The Tang Dynasty was indeed the Tang Dynasty. Even the prince went to war in person. It can be seen that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were all versatile in civil and military affairs.

Jin En quickly stood up and gave Li Chengqian a big salute to show his respect for the imperial power;

"Foreign ministers see His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"General Jin, there is no need to be polite." Li Chengqian said politely. Then he continued.

"General Jin, I think you are a talented person. You should see how the people of Goguryeo are living today under the rule of King Bobo and Yeon Gaesumun.

Without enough food, the people are in dire straits. I have even heard that there are cases of people exchanging children for food. It is really miserable.

After hearing this, I, Aye, was sad for a long time. God has the virtue of good life, and the earth is thick enough to carry things. As the Son of Heaven, I, Aye, must do good deeds for God.

That's why we were ordered to come to Goguryeo for no other reason than to save the millions of people in Goguryeo. "After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he still looked sad, making it look like he was indeed a commoner of Goguryeo.

After hearing this, Jin En also thought about the current situation of Goguryeo. What the Tang Prince said about the current situation of Goguryeo was absolutely correct.

He has followed the Treasure King for many years, but in terms of magnanimity, he is really not as magnanimous as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"General Jin, now King Treasure and Yeon Gae So-moon are foolish and ignorant, doing things against the will, just to enjoy the glory for themselves, regardless of the life and death of the people.

If this is still the case this year, how much hope do you think the people of Goguryeo will have to survive? "

Li Ji interjected from the side.

"Yes, General Jin, good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve. Now they are no longer worthy of your allegiance."

"Yes, I have experienced wars in my life, but I have never encountered such a miserable scene for the people. They are still attacking each other, arresting strong men, and robbing the people of their food. We in the Tang Dynasty will never do such things."

Seven or eight generals began to persuade Jin En with each other's words. They were all veterans, so of course they knew the importance of Jin En.

Regardless of whether a surrendered general is talented or not, his role is to show off to the enemy and demoralize the enemy.

Moreover, Jin En was also familiar with the topography of Goguryeo and the garrison of each city.

Jin En was having an ideological struggle in his heart. He had been loyal to Goguryeo for half his life.

Li Chengqian saw Jin En's troubled expression and kicked Li Shen who was lying behind him. He needed Li Shen's hiding skills.

Opening his eyes drowsily, Li Chengqian quickly lowered his head and spoke briefly in his ear.

Li Shen, who figured out what was going on, said something to the troubled Jin En.

"Are you the guard on the opposite side?"

"Here." Jin En looked at Li Shen in confusion. A person who could sleep in a handsome tent must not be an ordinary person.

"This is my tenth brother, Prince Ji, the tenth prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the chief governor of this march." Li Chengqian introduced.

"King Ji??" He had heard of King Ji, and many people in the court were saying that it was this King Ji who controlled Goguryeo's existence today.

Because the Treasure King was able to rule across the river from Yeon Gae Suwen, it was the Treasure King who King Ji arranged for people to help. King Ji's sending people to collect grain was also one of the reasons for the famine in Goguryeo.

Li Shen didn't care about his surprise and said directly;

"My eldest brother has already told you the truth. Let's discuss the conditions and use it for my eldest brother. My eldest brother will write a memorial and report it to our Majesty, asking for the title of County Marquis for you.

I will give you a house of ten acres in Chang'an. If you can perform meritorious service, all the rewards from His Majesty will be yours.

If this side needs to be guarded, you will probably become the general here, how about it. "

Several generals were speechless after hearing Li Shen's words. This was too direct, how could it be like doing business.

If it were an ordinary general or marshal, it would be fine, but you are a prince and you shouldn't act so philistine.

Jin En looked at Li Shen blankly. He didn't expect that this King Ji would be so straightforward and the terms he offered would be so generous.

It was given to a marquis, a house in Chang'an, and a reward from His Majesty. It was a reward from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and it was much more valuable than the reward from the Treasure King.

"My minister, Jin En, is willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and obey His Majesty the Crown Prince's orders." Jin En knelt down on one knee and said to Li Chengqian.

Li Shen waved his hand to Li Chengqian and winked, meaning: "Look, how simple this is." Isn’t this done?

Li Chengqian was also speechless. His tenth brother was still so simple and rough in doing things. It's been like this since childhood.

In any case, the goal was achieved, and several generals also looked at Li Shen with admiration. It was not without reason that His Majesty sent this chief governor to come and see him.

Li Chengqian happily stepped forward to help Jin En up.

"Okay, General Jin really knows justice."
