Watching with their own eyes as Goguryeo's royal capital was surrounded layer upon layer by the Tang Dynasty's army, it was plainly the posture of catching a turtle in a jar!
The envoys from Silla and Baekje, who had chosen to remain among the Tang army, looked at one another in dismay. Each saw shock in the other's eyes!
In the eyes of the Silla and Baekje envoys, Goguryeo had always been immensely powerful. Yet it had been ravaged by the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end, with not even the slightest room to resist!
Gulp...!
The Silla envoy in particular could not help swallowing hard!
He thought of what Qing Mo, the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Preceptor, had said before: if Silla did not wish to retain its own dignity, the Tang Dynasty could help them retain it!
Now that he had witnessed the Tang Dynasty's strength and foundations with his own eyes, he instead felt incomparably fortunate to have learned this news in advance!
That allowed him to submit a memorial urging his king that, in the future, they should voluntarily present a letter of surrender to the Tang Dynasty and have the entire nation fully merge into it!
Had they not received that news back then, Goguryeo's today would likely have become Silla's tomorrow!
As for the Baekje envoy standing beside the Silla envoy, what he was thinking at this moment was much the same as the Silla envoy beside him!
Too strong!
The Tang Dynasty was simply too strong!
The envoys of the two nations were now staring without blinking at the figure ahead, seated cross-legged atop White Tiger's back, looking rather leisurely!
With the help of this immortal Imperial Preceptor, it was unimaginable just how far the Tang Dynasty would develop in the future!
Slurp...!
