"Hahaha …"
Gao Di couldn't help but heartily laugh.
After that, Gao Di continued, "Laughable, truly laughable! I didn't think that the mighty Yeon Gaesomun would say something like this. You want to instigate a rebellion among my subordinates? Alas, you won't succeed. Yeon Gaesomun, carefully look around you. One person after another has already put down their weapons and surrendered. You won't be able to stop the tide. "
Yeon Gaesomun looked around and saw that one soldier after another was kneeling, and all of them had thrown down their weapons.
All of them had surrendered.
Because more and more people were kneeling, Yeon Gaesomun had no way of stopping them. Crucially, Yeon Gaesomun could no longer stop them. With so many people kneeling and begging for mercy, if he dared to casually kill them, these soldiers might even kill him.
Gao Di saw how Yeon Gaesomun was looking around and could guess at what he was thinking. He continued, "Yeon Gaesomun, if I were you, I would immediately surrender and stop resisting. It's meaningless for you to resist stubbornly now. Because you still have some use, I didn't put a bounty on these surrendered soldiers to kill you. If I had put a bounty on your head, your end would have been miserable. "
Yeon Gaesomun's face twitched.
He opened his mouth to say some tough words, but when they reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.
He no longer had the slightest bit of confidence.
He no longer had the slightest bit of eloquence.
Cui Hong-Ji had been at Yeon Gaesomun's side. When he saw Gao Di on the gate tower, he couldn't help but sigh. Du Qi was truly formidable. Not only had he arranged for Gao Di to act as a spy, he had even gotten Gao Di to arrive at Pyongyang ahead of him. Du Qi had made so many plans, and they were so detailed. If he still couldn't capture Yeon Gaesomun, then the heavens would truly be unfair.
Cui Hong-Ji said, "Yeon Gaesomun, the situation is unfavorable. Let's surrender first and preserve our lives. No matter how bad the situation is, only by preserving our lives can we preserve everything and even have a chance to stage a comeback. "
Yeon Gaesomun mentally sighed.
There was nothing to be done.
Yeon Gaesomun was also out of options.
At this point, Yeon Gaesomun was powerless to reverse the situation. He took a deep breath and said directly, "Gao Di, you've won this time. But it doesn't mean that you've won. The reason you're able to do this is because of Du Qi's arrangements. I didn't lose to you, I lost to Du Qi. "
Gao Di shrugged, looking indifferent. He said directly, "It doesn't matter who I lost to. I don't really care about these things. What I care about is that you, Yeon Gaesomun, have been defeated. I have completed the task entrusted to me by the Xia Emperor, that is all. "
Yeon Gaesomun said no more.
He was still standing.
Even if he surrendered, Yeon Gaesomun had his own confidence and courage.
Gao Di waved his hand, and some soldiers went down to Yeon Gaesomun's side, grabbed him, and escorted him away. As the soldiers escorted Yeon Gaesomun away, Cui Zhongji came out and said, "I want to see General Gao Di. I have something to say."
Seeing this, the soldiers brought Cui Zhongji along.
Yeon Gaesomun and Cui Zhongji were brought to the city gate tower. Cui Zhongji said, "General Gao Di, His Majesty arranged for me to come. We are on the same side."
Boom!!
Yeon Gaesomun's mind exploded upon hearing this.
He was stunned.
Cui Zhongji was Du Qi's man.
How was this possible?
Yeon Gaesomun turned to Cui Zhongji, a look of disbelief on his face. In a low voice, he asked, "Cui Zhongji, when did you submit to Du Qi?"
Gao Di narrowed his eyes and said, "Cui Zhongji, don't try to play dumb. His Majesty's army is about to arrive outside Pyongyang. If you want to deceive me, you're only seeking death. "
Cui Zhongji hurriedly said, "General Gao, I really was arranged by His Majesty to be at Yeon Gaesomun's side. Earlier, Yeon Gaesomun led his army south from the Qing Pass, and he arranged for me to go north and meet with His Majesty, intending to ask for peace. At the time, I had already submitted to His Majesty and served His Majesty. The reason I returned to Yeon Gaesomun's side was because His Majesty needed me to be at Yeon Gaesomun's side to discuss the matter of dealing with Silla and Baekje. Because I was familiar with this matter, he left me at Yeon Gaesomun's side. "
When Yeon Gaesomun heard this, his anger surged, and he roared, "Gao Di, you deserve to die!"
In this atmosphere, he was so angry that his blood roiled.
A mouthful of blood surged up.
Pfft!
Yeon Gaesomun vomited blood.
His eyes widened as he glared at Cui Hong-Ji, his face filled with killing intent. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Cui Hong-Ji, this official trusted you so much, but you still pledged allegiance to Du Qi. You even betrayed this official. You truly deserve to die! "
Cui Zhongji said, "A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a virtuous subject chooses a master to serve. Yeon Gaesomun, today, your fate is in His Majesty's hands, in Xia Xia. You are a mere minister, a mere traitor. It is extremely normal for you to be destroyed. If you don't lose, who will lose? "
Yeon Gaesomun was even more enraged.
He wanted to beat Cui Zhongji, but the soldiers firmly held him down, making it impossible for him to move.
Cui Zhongji turned to Gao Di and said, "General Gao, you and I both work for His Majesty. Why don't you let me go now? We're on the same side! "
Gao Di said, "Whether or not you work for His Majesty is not up to you. Wait until His Majesty arrives."
Cui Zhongji felt rather embarrassed.
Yeon Gaesomun laughed and said, "Cui Zhongji, do you see? You betrayed this official, but Gao Di did not accept you. Perhaps Du Qi was just using you. The current you is no longer human. "
"Shut your mouth!"
Cui Zhongji tilted his head and angrily roared.
In the past, Cui Zhongji would have never dared to rebuke Yeon Gaesomun. But Yeon Gaesomun was no longer a tiger, so he directly rebuked him.
Yeon Gaesomun wanted to retort, but when he thought of his current status as a prisoner and his former authority vanishing, Yeon Gaesomun's anger vanished.
Even so, Yeon Gaesomun was not someone who was easy to deal with. After slightly adjusting his emotions, he said, "Cui Zhongji, you're just a petty person who has gotten his way. You won't last long. You've pledged allegiance to Du Qi and benefited from Du Qi. But compared to you, this official has even more weight. Once this official has pledged allegiance to Du Qi, I will still be someone you can only look up to. Cui Zhongji, just you wait. Once I resolve my current predicament and pledge allegiance to Du Qi, I will properly deal with you. "
Cui Zhongji's expression flickered at these words.
He hadn't expected Yeon Gaesomun to say such a thing. And it had to be said that Cui Zhongji's status was lower than Yeon Gaesomun's. If Yeon Gaesomun really did pledge allegiance to Du Qi, then Yeon Gaesomun would definitely have more weight.
When Gao Di saw this scene, he sneered.
A dog biting another dog was a pretty good play.
Gao Di still did not interrupt, but just as Gao Di was preparing to continue watching, Yeon Gaesomun and Cui Zhongji stopped talking. The two just stared at each other, making Gao Di rather bored.
