Chapter 694: Fight Silla Kingdom First
Li You's method is a reference to the Qing Dynasty's Zeng Guofan's "hardening the village and fighting a dumb war" against the Taiping army. "And the method of General Seckert, the German affairs adviser, to guide the GMDANG army to encircle and suppress the Hong army in Jiangxi at that time, both achieved very good results at that time.
In the terrain conditions of Goguryeo, it was more suitable for the application of this tactic.
Everyone understood and agreed.
Liu Renliang pondered for a while, but raised a question.
Liu Renliang asked: "Lord Wang, what you said is very reasonable, but I am afraid that it will not be possible to carry out a comprehensive blockade of Goguryeo.
Silla bordered Goguryeo, and although they were now deeply conflicted, there was no guarantee that they would be able to cut off the flow of goods and personnel from Silla to Goguryeo, which might make the siege plan fall short. ”
He made a lot of sense, although Silla was at war with Goguryeo, he did not dare to guarantee that the Silla border garrison would not be bought by the Goguryeo, nor did he dare to guarantee that Silla would not secretly support Goguryeo after the Goguryeo people offered certain conditions.
Sima Jiong also said worriedly: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister also thinks that this is a difficult problem to solve. ”
Li You smiled: "This problem is not difficult to solve, let Lord Wang tell you!" ”
Wang Xuance stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this point has been considered by the prince for a long time, and he has already made the layout in advance.
Now that the Tang army has conquered Baekje, it will definitely conquer Goguryeo in the future, so in this case, is it still necessary to leave the hidden danger of Silla? ”
"Ah, yes, that's the pleasure." Hou Junji first called for some good come.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
"Great, that's how it should be."
"Yes, the rest of this peninsula is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and it is awkward to leave Silla to look at."
"Buzz", everyone talked for a while, and their faces were full of excitement.
Wang Xuance waited until everyone was quiet, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court sent troops to rescue Silla this time, but it paid a heavy price.
At that time, the prince sent a subordinate to negotiate with the Queen of Silla, and Silla would provide 200,000 quintals of grain and 500,000 yuan of military expenses for the Tang army, and the Queen of Silla agreed to me on the spot.
However, when the Tang army began to attack Baekje and the people sent by Baekje to attack Silla retreated, the Silla queen decided that the Tang army was no longer needed, and she immediately changed her mind and refused to pay the Tang army food and military expenses.
What is this kind of perfidious country to keep him for? ”
"There is such a thing. This Silla queen is also too untrustworthy. ”
"Fight, these Silla people are white-eyed wolves, and they must be beaten to death with a stick."
"Fight and destroy them."
The crowd was filled with indignation and shouted one after another.
"Lord, let's fight Silla first, and if we defeat Silla, we will completely cut off the possibility of Goguryeo people receiving assistance." Sima Jiong said.
"Well said." Li You stood up and said.
Li You was very excited, he paced on the ground, and said as he walked: "Let's fight Silla first, and then play slowly with the Goguryeo people, I want to see how arrogant the Goguryeo people are when they can't eat food and salt?"
Eat, anything that has to do with eating will work, and as soon as you eat it, you will be spiritual! Ha ha! Hahaha! ”
Zhang Guigui smiled: "Brother You, it's been a long time since I've heard you say this. Lift your breath, be happy, hahahaha. ”
"Hahahaha." Everyone remembered what His Royal Highness King Qi often said in the court: "As soon as you eat, you will be refreshed." I couldn't help but laugh.
Next, Li You deployed a battle plan against Silla and reported to Li Shimin the overall solution for the Korean Peninsula formulated by the Eastern Route Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Soon after, the capital city of Silla was Geumseong.
Palace.
The fat prime minister reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance, came to Jincheng again, and he asked to see Her Majesty the Queen. ”
Queen Kindman asked, "What is he here for?" ”
The prime minister said, "I asked, but he didn't say. He said that he had important matters to ask to see His Majesty. ”
Kindman laughed, "What important thing can he do?" It's not for the food and military spending last time, I can't tell him. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will waive these military expenses and food after seeing my letter. ”
The prime minister said, "The minister will go and reply to him." After saying that, he took his leave and left.
Guest house.
When the prime minister saw Wang Xuance, he said in a regretful tone: "Oh, Your Excellency, Her Majesty the Queen of my family has been in poor health and has not yet recovered, and I am afraid that I will still not be able to meet Your Excellency." ”
Wang Xuance said angrily: "You don't see me, right? Don't regret it. Drop-off. He unceremoniously blasted the fat prime minister out.
The fat prime minister was very angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to Wang Xuance, so he left angrily. He said to himself, "I'll just hang you here and see what you can do?" ”
A few days later.
The fat prime minister came to see Her Majesty again in a panic, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received news that the Tang Dynasty has suddenly blockaded our Silla Kingdom at sea. All the ships of our Silla country that went to sea were detained when they met the Tang army. ”
Jindeman was a little flustered, she knew that this was the Tang Army's revenge. She said helplessly: "You go to invite the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and you say that I want to see him." ”
Soon after, Wang Hyunceek came to the Silla Palace.
"See Her Royal Highness the Queen." Wang Xuance saluted and said.
"Lord Tang Envoy, the Lonely King has been ill recently, and he has been treating your envoy slowly, and I ask your Lord for forgiveness." Jindeman said politely.
Wang Xuance was not polite, he said: "Your Majesty, your country has no faith in its words. Last time when my Don Army needed it most. You have betrayed your word and seized the food and military expenses promised to the Tang Army.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi was very angry about this matter, and he asked me to inform Her Majesty and immediately go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Juba City to explain to him. ”
Jindeman was a little annoyed, and she said in her heart: "Regarding the matter of military expenses and food, I have already written to your Emperor Majesty to explain the situation, and let me say something?"
Besides, you Li You are just a prince, and no matter how small the Silla Kingdom is, I am also the head of a country, so there is no reason to visit you as a prince. ”
The queen lowered her face and said, "Lord Tang Envoy, I can't agree to what you said. I'm not in good health right now, and I really can't go and meet your Royal Highness King Qi in person. ”
Wang Xuance asked, "Your Majesty, are you sure you won't go to see my lord?" ”
Kinderman saw that he was unreasonable and ignored him.
The general had dealt with the Tang army, and although he had some good feelings for the Tang army, Wang Xuance's aggressive attitude made him a little angry.
He said, "Your Excellency, hasn't Her Majesty the Queen of my family already said it? She's sick, you can't force people to make it difficult. ”
Wang Xuance glared and said, "Okay, this is what you said, you must not regret it." Leave. After saying that, he saluted, turned around and left.
Jindeman and other monarchs and ministers were angry enough, but they did not dare to offend the envoys of the powerful Tang Dynasty in person. After Wang Xuance left, they began to angrily denounce Wang Xuance's arrogant and rude behavior.
Over the next few days, Kindman received constant reports from coastal areas that the Don Army continued to seize Silla's ships going to sea.
The prime minister said, "Your Majesty, this is not a way. The losses caused by the inability of our Silla ships to go to sea are no less than those food and military expenses, so if they really can't do it, I will give them them. ”
Jindeman thought twice, and finally nodded. She said: "You go and inform the Tang Dynasty envoy, and say that I have agreed to give them those food and military expenses." ”
So, the prime minister came to the guest house and met with Wang Xuance.
Wang Xuance listened to his explanation and shook his head vigorously. "When it comes to food and military spending, it's a thing of the past," he said. Whether you want these materials or not, it is up to His Royal Highness King Qi of my family to decide.
I am not here this time for this matter, but to invite your majesty the queen to go to Juba City to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qi of my family and explain the situation. ”
Seeing him so rude, the fat prime minister suppressed his anger and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is just a prince, let my majesty the queen go to visit him, is this the etiquette of your Tang Dynasty people?" ”
