Chapter 367: Silla asks for help

"Your Majesty! Silla sends an envoy to meet you! "The early dynasty has just begun, and the Honglu Temple Pawn Office Pawn Order Lined up to salute.

"An emissary from Silla? What is it? Li Chengqian asked, if it is some trivial things, don't bother him, he is very busy.

Now Datang is relieving disasters everywhere, or on the way to disaster relief, where is there any spare time to take care of a small remote country.

"They are here to ask our Datang for help, and I hope Datang can help them." The pawn ordered.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian's first reaction was that Silla had suffered the same disaster as the Tang Dynasty, so Silla sent an envoy to ask the Tang Dynasty to relieve Silla.

After all, Silla is the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zai, and he can't see death without saving.

"Then declare them to the temple!" Li Chengqian said.

Although Datang is somewhat difficult now, it is still very wealthy compared to the small country of Silla, and if something leaks from between his fingers, it is enough for Silla to eat for a long time.

"Audience of the envoys of Xuanxinla!"

"Audience of the envoys of Xuanxinla!"

"Audience of the envoys of Xuanxinla!" In the ancient era of shouting, the emperor's orders could only be conveyed one after another.

How nice would it be to have a phone? It would be easier to make a phone call directly, Li Chengqian thought in his heart, but he could only think in his heart, it was impossible to make a phone call in the Tang Dynasty.

"Silla envoy to meet Your Majesty!" Not long after, the voice of the unveiler was heard outside the hall, and the messenger from Silla entered the Taiji Hall in full costume.

"The envoys of Silla pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Banzai! The Silla messenger knelt on his knees.

"Let's get flat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Datang!" The Silla envoy stood up and thanked him and said, "We have brought our Silla specialties to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Although they are here to ask for help, the tribute that should be prepared is still indispensable, this is the rule.

"You have come thousands of miles to my Datang, I heard that you are here to ask for help, has something happened to Silla?" Li Chengqian asked, he didn't care about any local products.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Baekje and Goguryeo jointly sent troops to attack Silla, and Silla lost large territories one after another. ”

"On the orders of King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, the minister came to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty to jointly fight against the combined forces of Baekje and Goguryeo."

"Your Majesty, please! was able to send troops to save Silla, and Silla looked forward to the Tang Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Soldiers to save them. The Silla envoy said.

"I remember that last year, your queen was born, and this golden spring and autumn only ascended to the throne, and it has only been how long it has been, and she has been bullied like this, and she needs to come to the Tang Dynasty to borrow troops." Li Chengqian said.

"Don't hide it from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! I was the first king of Silla, and soon after the new king succeeded to the throne, it was inevitable that people's hearts would fluctuate. ”

"Baekje and Goguryeo took advantage of the fact that we were still silent in the reign of the former king, and jointly sent troops to attack our Silla territory, causing Silla to lose its territory one after another."

"Now Silla is in jeopardy! If His Majesty the Tang Emperor did not send troops to rescue Silla, Silla would probably perish. The Silla envoy said.

To be honest, Lee Seung-gan really wanted not to send troops to aid Silla, and allowed Silla to be wiped out by the combined forces of Baekje and Goguryeo.

But after thinking about it, it was not a good idea to do so, if the Tang Dynasty did not send troops to rescue Silla, so that Silla was destroyed, and Baekje and Goguryeo grew stronger, it would still be a trivial matter.

The growth of Baekje and Goguryeo is also limited, and with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, at most, it will send more soldiers and horses, and it will take more work, and it will not be difficult to take Baekje and Goguryeo.

The most important thing is the prestige of Datang, if you really want to do this, not only the subjects of Datang will complain, but other tribes that submit to Datang will also be wary of Datang.

In the future, if they recruit troops and horses, they will have reservations and no longer serve Datang wholeheartedly, which is not conducive to the expansion of Datang in the future.

"Now that Silla is in danger! As the suzerainty of Silla, Datang has no reason not to send troops to rescue, you can go back and tell Jin Chunqiu with peace of mind, and I, Datang, will definitely send reinforcements to rescue Silla. Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know when the heavenly soldiers will arrive, and Silla is afraid that it won't last long." The Silla envoy asked.

"If it's fast, the reinforcements will attack the combined forces of Baekje and Goguryeo before you go back, and if it's slow, it will be a day or two later than you." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! In this way, the minister took his leave and immediately returned to Silla to report the good news to the king of Silla. When the Silla envoy heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Go ahead!" Li Chengqian waved his hand, and the Silla envoy saluted and exited the hall.

On that day, the Silla envoy did not even have time to collect the salute, so he immediately hurriedly bought some dry food and rushed back to Silla.

"You Aiqing have also seen it, now that Silla is asking for help, my Datang will naturally send troops to rescue me, but I don't know if I should send someone to lead the troops?" After the Silla envoy left, Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! All you need to do is send border soldiers to the rescue! There is no need to work hard. Chu Suiliang said.

To rescue a small country in Silla, you only need to send an order to the border defenders to harass Goguryeo and Baekje immediately, Silla can relieve the pressure and be able to hold the inherent territory, can you still want to destroy Goguryeo.

If Chu Suiliang knew that Li Chengqian really had this idea, he would definitely try his best to dissuade Li Chengqian, and even quoted the allusion of Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo and his death to persuade Li Chengqian to dispel this idea.

"Message! Cheng Mingzhen, the general of the Left Guard, was appointed as the governor of Yingzhou, and together with Su Dingfang, he sent troops to rescue Silla. Li Chengqian said.

The Tang Dynasty's dispatch of troops to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje is already a sure thing, and it won't be long before a big war is about to break out.

For Lee Seung-gan, the biggest problem is not how to eliminate Goguryeo and Baekje, this is a sure thing, without thinking too much, it is not a problem at all.

The biggest problem is how to ensure the vested interests of the Tang Dynasty on the peninsula after the elimination of Baekje and Goguryeo, and not to let Silla become bigger and make the peninsula the fruit of Silla's battle.

Silla wanted to completely control the peninsula, and the unification of the three kingdoms was absolutely not allowed, and the territories of Baekje and Goguryeo could only be the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The territory seized by Silla was given to Silla, but if Silla wanted to drive the Tang army out of the peninsula, it was absolutely not allowed to monopolize its own interests, and this was also a problem that Lee Seung-qian had to consider.

Not only that, the Tang army attacked the peninsula on a large scale, and Tubo also took advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack and eliminate Tuyuhun when the Tang army could not take care of Tuyuhun, taking advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, and since then it has become a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

These are enough for Li Chengqian's headache, and he must solve these two problems.

"Retreat!" Li Chengqian got up and left.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
