"The last time I went to Chang'an, Datang was still very interested in joining forces with us Silla to deal with Goguryeo. A few days ago, we were also contacted by people from the East China Sea fishing industry, saying that the Tang army had a plan to attack Goguryeo, and I thought I would take this opportunity to fight Goguryeo and Baekje. ”

Jindeman is a few years younger than Kim Seungman, the queen of Silla, and he has long been angry with Goguryeo, who always bullied Silla.

It is true that in the case of going it alone, Silla was certainly not an opponent of Goguryeo.

However, Goguryeo could not use the power of the country to deal with Silla, while Silla could use the power of the country to resist the invasion of Goguryeo.

Therefore, the war is in full swing, and it is definitely not a month or two that can be over.

In addition, in the past two years, the East China Sea fishery has been helping Silla openly and secretly, and Silla has nearly 100,000 troops, and it really has the strength to fight with Goguryeo.

"Deman, did the people of the East China Sea fishery say when the Tang army will return to Goguryeo? I'm worried that we won't fight against Goguryeo to the death, and when the country is destroyed, the Tang Dynasty will send troops, and it will be meaningless. ”

As the queen of Silla, Kim Seung-man naturally didn't want to make wedding clothes for the Tang Dynasty.

Although she admires the culture of Datang very much, and constantly encourages officials and ordinary people to learn Sinology in China, promote Datang's official positions, and learn Datang's technology, this does not mean that she is not defensive against Datang.

"They don't know the specific date, but they say that the Tang army has already set out, and if you want to come for as little as a month or as long as three months, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a conflict with Goguryeo."

Jindeman has been in Chang'an City for almost half a year, and he is relatively clear about how the Tang people view Goguryeo.

Obviously, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo not only have a deep hatred and blood hatred, but also a realistic border conflict.

Whether it is Li Shimin, the son of today, or the minister of the DPRK and China, they all hope that the Tang Dynasty can defeat Goguryeo.

"Great King, the last general thinks that this judgment of the Holy Bone is still more credible. In recent years, Datang's strength has improved very rapidly, as can be seen from the goods sold by those merchants in the East China Sea fishery. Now that Yuangai Suwen has done such a kingless and fatherless thing, it can be regarded as giving Datang the best excuse to send troops. Besides, it is no longer a question of whether or not we want to fight the combined forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, but how to fight and avoid a disadvantageous situation in the war. ”

As a famous Silla general, Kim Yushin naturally had some understanding of what was happening in the border areas.

Looking at the arrangement of Goguryeo and Baekje, this time it is obvious that people are not harassing Silla in a small way.

"That's right! In order to divert the contradictions in Goguryeo, Yuangae Suwen was bound to launch a battlefield. It is estimated that it is very difficult for them to take the initiative to provoke Datang; Considering that Goguryeo now has 30,000 soldiers on our frontier, the other party's purpose is almost certain. ”

Jindeman couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that his cousin was still hesitating.

At this time, as the queen, Jin Shengman must not have any hesitation.

Otherwise, even her will to resist is not firm, let alone the soldiers below.

It is really possible that Silla will be annexed by Goguryeo.

This is definitely not a situation that Kindman wants to see.

"Whew!"

Jin Shengman closed his eyes and took a deep breath, with a resolute expression on his face, "In this case, General Kim, this king entrusts you with full responsibility for the fight against the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces. ”

"The king is wise! The last general will definitely live up to the king's trust! ”

……

"The advantages of this concrete road are too obvious in the case of a long march."

Li Ji followed Li Shimin's side, looking at Youzhou City that was gradually disappearing behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.

From Chang'an City to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to the north to Jinyang, through Shuozhou to Youzhou, there are cement roads all the way, and the army only took ten days to complete the trip that used to take a month to complete.

However, after leaving Youzhou City and continuing to the northeast, he was not so happy.

Hebei Province is very large, but after Youzhou, it is actually a desolation.

Even Youzhou itself is not a prosperous state capital, not to mention compared with Chang'an and Luoyang, even compared with today's Shuozhou, it is far behind.

"This time to conquer Liaodong, we must arrange for the captives to build the cement road from Youzhou to Yingzhou first. As a frontier town in eastern Liaoning, the prosperity of Yingzhou is related to the future stability of Liaodong. According to Kuan'er, there is a large amount of fertile land around Yingzhou that has yet to be cultivated, and it seems very likely that we will succeed in developing Yingzhou by referring to the method of developing Shuozhou. ”

Li Shimin was full of confidence in this war, so along the way, he was discussing the post-war events with Li Ji and Cen Wenwen.

The so-called fighting is easy, but it is difficult to govern.

Li Shimin has a deep understanding of this.

"Now I have a lot of experience in building cement roads in Datang, as long as there are enough manpower, it will not be a problem to repair this cement road within next year. I heard that the area of cotton planted in Shuozhou this year has doubled compared with last year, and the price of cotton clothes will inevitably drop further at that time, so that the people will no longer need to worry about the cold when they enter Liaodong for winter. Even in order to encourage everyone to develop Liaodong, the imperial court can give a cotton coat to every person who enters Liaodong, which not only stimulates cotton planting, but also develops Liaodong, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Li Ji is not a general who can only fight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be civil and martial.

Li Kuan's views in the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Ji completely listened to them, and felt that it was very worth trying.

For a long time, everyone was afraid that the emperor would be reckless, just because fighting a war is a loss-making thing.

If you win, you will lose money; Not to mention losing.

If Li Kuan can change this situation, then for Datang, the significance is really unusual.

Don't look at the fact that there are no decent enemies around Datang, but seriously speaking, there are actually no friends.

No matter what year it is, the frontier has never been completely stable.

The difference is only whether there is a big war or not.

"That's right! All the way from Chang'an, the state capitals on both sides of the cement road are becoming more and more prosperous. Judging from the map, there is still very, very vast land in the northeast of Liaoning, and only by developing Liaodong into a stable rear can we further control the land in the north; Otherwise, with such a long distance, it won't take a few decades for us to have nothing to do with Datang here. ”

Li Shimin would not be naïve to imagine that with his fame as a heavenly khan, he could make Siyi surrender.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to stay in Liaodong after the war to guard the frontier and add a prosperous Liaodong Road to my Datang!"

"Let's talk about this again!" Li Shimin didn't nod immediately, but looked at the east, "I don't know what's going on over there with Kuan'er." ”
