"What does this mean? Is this going to use force against my Datang Mission? ”

Seeing Gao Feng, the left minister of the Bohai Kingdom who led the troops to break in, Zhong Chuan, who was over seventy years old, was not afraid, but he had the entire Tang Dynasty behind him as a backer, so he was naturally not afraid of the Bohai Kingdom.

Even in the palace of the Bohai Kingdom, he can face the King of Bohai directly, and naturally he will not be afraid of a minister of the Bohai Kingdom.

"Zhong Shangshu, has Datang gone too far? Your side sent an envoy to the Bohai Sea to negotiate with our Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Army over there was a large-scale attack on the Bohai Kingdom. "Gao Feng's attitude is not very good.

Zhong Chuan thought that the other party was talking about Liaodong.

Because Gao Feng is a Goguryeo native, the surname Gao is the surname of the king of Goguryeo, and it is the right surname of the Bohai Kingdom.

'Right surname', which means big family.

After Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, many Goguryeo royal families were scattered all over Liaodong.

After the Bohai Kingdom, the Goguryeo people saw that there was no hope of recovering the country, and many people joined the Bohai Kingdom, and Gao Feng's ancestors were all high-ranking officials of the Bohai State court for several generations.

Zhong Chuan knew that at the same time as he was sending an envoy to the Bohai Kingdom, Li Wenzhong was ordered by the Holy Lord to send troops to Liaodong, and it was inevitable that he would clash with the Goguryeo people in Liaodong.

"Zuo Xiang's words are not right. The land of Liaodong is the territory of my Tang Dynasty, is it possible that the Bohai Kingdom will not be able to meet the Tang Dynasty because of Liaodong?

The Bohai Kingdom is not the prosperous country of Haidong in the past, and if it starts a war with the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably follow in the footsteps of Goguryeo. Zhong Chuan threatened.

Seeing that Zhong Chuan had misunderstood, Gao Feng was a little puzzled, didn't the other party know about it?

"Zhong Shangshu, don't you really know?"

"Know what? Liaodong's business? In the matter of Liaodong, Datang will not back down, if it is a battle, the war is. Zhong Chuan didn't give an inch.

"It's not Liaodong, it's the matter of the Tang Pyongyang Governor's Office." Gao Feng reminded.

"The Pyongyang Governor's Office?" Zhong Chuan was stunned for a moment, "Anzhou and Jiaozhou, which were captured by the Pyongyang Governor's Office, are also the original homeland of my Tang Dynasty, so there is nothing to do." ”

"Not these two states." In fact, Gao Feng really wanted to tell Datang that Jiaozhou was not the homeland of Datang, but at this time, he didn't have time to manage this small place, "It's Nanjing in Nanhai Prefecture, and Nanjing in my Bohai Kingdom." ”

"Your Nanjing? What do you have to do with me? Zhong Chuan was puzzled.

"Don't you really know?" Looking at Zhong Chuan's expression, Gao Feng was really a little suspicious, "Just yesterday, the Nanhai Mansion came to report that the Tang Pyongyang Governor's Mansion had captured Nanjing, my Bohai Kingdom. This is what Datang only wants to recover Liaodong? Then why did you capture my Bohai Nanjing, is Datang going to start a full-scale war with my Bohai Sea? ”

"What? The Pyongyang Governorate captured Nanjing in the Bohai Kingdom? Zhong Chuan was a little surprised, "It has been more than a month since the envoy left Luoyang, and he really doesn't know about the Pyongyang Governor's Office." ”

To be honest, Zhong faxed a bit of a surprise.

The Pyongyang Governor's Office only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Shihou was able to capture Nanjing, which was indeed a bit unexpected by him.

For Yang Shihou, Zhong Chuan only heard of it, and in his early years, he also defected to the imperial court early, and then stood out from the forbidden army step by step, and before that, he served as the general of the forbidden army.

But Zhong Chuan has never seen his combat talent with his own eyes, and most of them are rumors.

Before leaving Luoyang, the imperial court set a strategy to promote peace and force the Bohai Kingdom to relinquish control of Liaodong.

Although Yang Shihou's move is a bit excessive, it may be a good thing.

With a small number of troops, the capture of Bohai Nanjing in one fell swoop shows the strength of our Tang Dynasty's troops, and it can also be seen that the national strength of today's Bohai State is not as good as before.

Now, this Bohai Nanjing may be an opportunity to force Bohai to make concessions.

"Then how should Datang explain it now?" Gao Feng's attitude is not good.

"How to explain it? Why did I, Datang, explain it to you? If you continue to refuse to agree to my Datang conditions, I dare not guarantee that my Datang Wang Division will go straight to your country and go to Beijing.

Believe it or not, when my Tang Dynasty King Division arrives, many local armies in your country will surrender one after another. Zhong Chuan can be said to be pulling the banner of tiger skin at this time, and he knows from entering the territory of the Bohai Kingdom that the current Bohai Kingdom has no strength to start a war with the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the Bohai Kingdom can be described as internal and external troubles, and if it angers the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty again, it will be even more difficult to live.

"You..."

Seeing Zhong Chuan's fearless words, Gao Feng was very angry, but the other party hit the nail on the head, and the current Bohai Kingdom is indeed unable to start a war with the Tang Dynasty.

"Is it that as long as my Bohai State withdraws from Liaodong, the army of the Tang Dynasty will return to Nanjing? And stop the war? Gao Feng asked.

"Naturally!" Zhong Chuan promised, "As long as your country cedes Liaodong, my Datang will definitely return Nanjing." You must know that the Bohai Kingdom, as a vassal country of my Tang Dynasty, naturally does not want the Bohai Sea to meet each other.

However, the Khitan threatens the northern border of our Tang Dynasty, and it is necessary to obtain Liaodong and attack the Khitan on both sides.

The Khitan has not attacked the Bohai Kingdom, in the future, when I go to the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty to the Khitan, the Bohai Kingdom, as my Tang Dynasty's subject country, should I also send troops? ”

Hearing Zhong Chuan's words, Gao Feng didn't dare to agree on the spot, but he was also a little moved.

Today's Khitan makes the surrounding countries and tribes grit their teeth with hatred, and they come to fight the autumn wind if they have nothing to do. Buyeo Mansion was established by the Bohai State and was dedicated to fighting against the Khitan.

It's just that now that the national strength of the Bohai Sea is declining, it is no longer able to fight against the Khitan, and the Fuyu Mansion is also a little unable to resist the Khitan iron horse.

"These things cannot be decided by the lower officials, and they need to be discussed with His Majesty and the ministers." Gao Feng hesitated.

"Then your country has to do it as soon as possible, if you continue to fight, you will be angry, and you won't be able to collect troops, don't blame the envoy for not reminding you." Zhong Chuan said lightly.

Sensing the threat in Zhong Chuan's words, Gao Feng hated it in his heart, but he still didn't go back, but prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Zhong Chuan suddenly shouted before Gao Feng left.

"What else is going on with Zhong Shangshu?" Gao Feng said in a stiff tone.

"There is one thing, I withdrew the soldiers of your country outside, and I was upset to look at it." Zhong Chuan said lightly.

"We can't decide until the lower official goes back to report."

After speaking, Gao Feng turned around and left, and Zhong Chuan's face also showed a solemn expression.

"Zhong Shangshu, what are you worried about?" Someone from the mission asked.

"Worried that the Bohai State will come to Hu, the Pyongyang Governor's Office has captured Nanjing, the Bohai State, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

If we can deter the Bohai people, it will be easy to do, and we are not far from returning to Datang; If it can't be deterred, but it angers the Bohai Kingdom, then it will be troublesome. Zhong Chuan said seriously.

"Could it be that the Bohai people still dare to kill us members of the mission?"

"That's not true, but if we fail to fulfill the Holy Mandate, but instead meet with the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom, we will fail the Holy Grace.

I hope to deter the Bohai people, this time is indeed not suitable for a full-scale war with the Bohai State. Zhong Chuan shook his head.

In fact, he knew that with the character of that saint, sooner or later he would have to make a move against Bohai.

I don't know why, but this saint has a strong desire for the land.

Not to mention the Western Regions, isn't the resetting of Anxi Capital Skin Care and Beiting Capital Protectorate just to recover the land lost before the Tang Dynasty?

On the side of the Qinghai Governor's Mansion, the Holy Lord made it clear that he was planning to find a time to attack Tubo and completely remove the enemy in this Hexi Corridor.

Not to mention the Yunnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, there has been no less tossing in the past two years, but there are no major wars.

The Andong Governorate, the Liaonan Governorate, the Pyongyang Governorate, and the Tamna Governorate were even more aimed at the Khitan, Bohae, and Silla forces.

There is also the matter of the Wa Kingdom.

This holy mind, few people really guess it.

Zhong Chuan also wondered if he could return to his hometown after this mission.

He, an old arm and legs, can't stand the toss, so he still resigned from this official position and took care of his old age.
