Regarding Park Hyuk-chul's suggestion, Li Mao thought about it for a day and a night, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Now is undoubtedly the best time to destroy Silla, and destroying its country and turning it into a county is the strategy for long-term peace and stability. But destroying the country is not a trivial matter, after the county, it is impossible to stabilize quickly, this requires time and energy, based on the basic judgment that the world will be in chaos within ten years, at the moment they should stabilize the rear as soon as possible, the most lacking is time and energy.

If the country is not destroyed, but continues to go south to capture Jinseong, hoe the strong to help the weak, support the weak masters, continue to organize internal strife, and consume its national strength, this plan cannot be implemented, and the Silla country is already on the verge of collapse, and if it continues to toss, the destruction of the country is just around the corner.

At that time, a large number of homeless people poured into Liaodong, which was definitely enough to drink a pot for themselves. Liaodong is unstable, and he has worries, and if there is chaos in the pass, he can only deal with it conservatively.

When the sky collapses, heroes rise everywhere, and being conservative and not thinking of making progress is equivalent to suicide.

The best strategy is to get rid of strong enemies, appease the people, and support a new monarch who is satisfactory to him and can be recognized by all parties, and stabilize the backyard first. When the overall situation in the country is calmed down, we will go back and solve the Silla issue.

Li Mao ordered the immediate transfer of Kim Do-an to Silla, after Kim Do-an was a Silla royal family, he had the blood of the noble Silla royal family in his body, wouldn't it be logical to support him to be the king of Silla?

On the second day, Li Mao hosted a banquet for Park Hyuk-chul, had a long talk with him, and sent someone to send him back to Hanju City at dusk.

If Park Hyuk-cheol is taken as a traitor by the prison army after he returns, and is killed by the palace guards who are in charge of guarding him, then it will be a hundred times, which shows that this person is ambitious and talented, and he cannot be trusted, and he died in vain. At that time, he personally led a large army to cross the river, defeated the main force of Silla under the city of Hanju, and waved his army south, although there were difficulties, the victory was still in hand.

On the other hand, if Park Hyuk-chul can convince the prison army, solve the palace guards, and fulfill his promise, then cooperate with him. After the deed was completed, he fulfilled his promise not to destroy his country, and installed Kim Doan as the king, and temporarily ruled the peninsula on his behalf.

Li Mao is not afraid that Park Hyuk-chul will change his face when he goes back, because he still has three trump cards in his hands, as long as they are allowed to return to Jincheng, Park Hyuk-chul will die without a place to be buried.

After waiting for a day and a night, Park Hyuk-chul finally reacted, first disbanding the 100,000-strong people's army and returning to his hometown. Witnessing the soul of the 100,000 people's army in Jiangbei, looking at the layers of floating corpses on the river, the remaining 100,000 people's army had no morale, and they were like arrows.

This was the first step for Park Hyuk-chul to fulfill his promise and disband the 100,000-strong people's army, which not only alleviated the resistance of Yi Mo's southward movement, but also preserved Silla's national strength, and also made his attitude clear to Geumseong.

Soon, there was a large-scale mutiny in the city of Hanju, and Park Hyuk-chul arrested the remaining 100 or so palace guards, confiscated their weapons, put them in a prisoner van and sent them back to Jinseong, and told Kim so-jong through their mouths that the soldiers and people of Silla had begun to dislike him and asked him to do good.

Later, the veteran arrested 26 generals who opposed his cooperation with Li Mao by thunderous means, forced them to accuse Kim sojong of stealing the country and power, and was unworthy of being the lord of Silla, and collectively supported Kim Do-an, the son of Kim Ganyun, the king of Hyegong, as the king of Silla.

As soon as the text arrived, Jeonju, Xiongzhou, Kangzhou, Wuzhou and other places immediately took action to expel officials from Jincheng, cut off contact with Jincheng, support troops to stand on their own, protect the territory and the people, and send envoys to swear allegiance to Jin Daoan. Jeonju is Park Hyuk-chul's hometown, and the Park family is huge, needless to say. Xiongju is located in the south of Hanju, sandwiched between Hanju and Jeonju, and the rulers have no choice but to submit to it in order to avoid falling into the dilemma of being caught between the north and the south. As for Kangzhou and Wuzhou near the sea, since the emperor is far away, the people are heavy on business and contracts, and they are not afraid of royal power, and they have always been used to it.

By the time Kim Do-an rushed from Youju to Hanju City, the southwestern half of Silla was no longer owned by Jincheng.

In another ten days, under the planning of Yi Mao, Park Hyuk-chul led 20,000 royal troops, 50,000 county troops, and 10,000 township troops to the outside of the city, and together with the representatives of the government and people in Hanju, Xiongju, Kangju, Muju and other places, swore to support Kim Do-an, the son of Kim Ganyun, the king of Hyegong, as the king of Silla. urged him to immediately ascend to the position of head of state affairs, and petitioned tens of thousands of people to Li Mao, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, demanding the deposition of Kim so-jong and the recognition of Kim Do-an's legitimacy.

The next day, Kim Do-an ascended the throne in the city of Hanju.

According to the original plan, Kim Do-an was proclaimed queen, and the armies of the two countries would immediately go south to capture Jinseong, expel the puppet king Kim so-jong, and rescue the people of Silla from fire and water.

With Park Hyuk-chul taking the lead, the army was advancing in a thousand days, and Kim so-jong couldn't organize decent resistance at all, but the small groups of civilian troops along the way caused some damage to the army.

At the beginning of October, 60,000 troops of the two countries arrived at Jincheng, Jin Xiuzong barely fought, and the 14,000-strong Wang army was surrounded and annihilated by Shi Xiong and Shi Xianzhong in less than half a day.

Jin Xiuzong knew that the general trend was gone, and left the palace to go to sea by boat under the escort of the black crest, and lived in exile between Mingzhou and Shuozhou, sometimes fleeing at sea and sometimes hiding in the mountains.

Kim Do-an and Park Hyuk-chul asked Li Mao to enter the city first, but Li Mao politely refused, and sent troops to camp outside the city, restricting his subordinates from entering the city and disturbing the people. He also refused to stay in the Silla Palace, but stayed in a secluded palace outside the city of the Silla King.

The public and private warehouses of Silla are empty, and there is no benefit to be made, Kim so-jong is still calm, and it is expected that there will be nothing of value left in the palace, so why bother with nothing to gain from his notoriety?

Ten days after the city was broken, Tian Qian came to Jincheng and heard that Li Mao was stationed outside the city, and he did not commit any offense against the people, and praised him for having the demeanor of the king's army. Tian Qian came here to supervise the layout of Silla, and set up a complete set of strict monitoring system in Silla as he did with the Balhae, so as to ensure that the country of the peninsula would never again become a threat to Liaodong.

The royal courtyard occupied by Li Mao is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is quiet, but the area is narrow.

The architecture of Silla is almost completely copied from the style of the Central Plains, because the area is small, the national strength is weak, the meteorological pattern is slightly smaller, and the utensils and utensils also seem a little childish.

Tian Qian was born in a noble family, and he looked down on these things, but asked Li Mao: "Why don't you enter the palace, I heard that there are three thousand beauties in their Chuxiu Palace, and none of them are eye-catching?" I'm still afraid of gossiping, you can rest assured that I will keep it a secret for you. ”

Li Mao said: "Three thousand beauties are real, I am dizzy when I see a large number of beauties, and I have instructed the right compartment to organize human traffickers to transport them back to China." Tian Qian smiled: "You want to smuggle it, but I'm afraid that King Jin won't want to." Li Mao said: "I have already persuaded him, I said that if you want to be a Mingjun, you will release them all from the palace, otherwise people will say that you are greedy and lustful, and your reputation is bad, how can you do Mingjun?" Tian Qian smiled: "Then what did he say?" Li Mao said: "He didn't want to let it go, so I invited his wife, and he immediately agreed." Tian Qian pinched Li Mao's nose and said, "You should go into the palace to live for two days and find out how you feel." ”

Li Mao said: "It's just a bigger house, and you won't be able to grow two catties of meat if you go in and live for two days, and you have to provoke the people of this country to resent it for thousands of years, so why bother." ”

Tian Qi said: "If you don't live, they will still resent you, they will say that you have forged and violently assaulted their country and mother, and taken away the king's treasures, and you can't clean up the left and right, so it's better to go in and have fun." ”

Li Mao said: "Do you want to go?" ”

Tian Qi said: "I want to sleep in the king's bed with you and experience what it feels like to be a princess." ”

Li Mao said: "Then I'll let Jin Daoan move in two days later, and let's find out how we feel together?" ”

Tian Qian shook his head: "No need, I know you don't want to, I'm already satisfied to live here with you." Li Mao stroked his wife's long silky hair and said: "I understand your thoughts, and I also know the grievances you have had in Youzhou, but Silla is a land of right and wrong after all, facing the sea on three sides, with many mountains and few lands, and the people are strong, with strong neighbors Tang and Bohai in the north, and Japan in the south." If you really want a piece of land, it is better to choose Bohai. ”

Tian Qian smiled: "Bohai? That's a powerhouse. ”

Li Mao said: "No matter how strong Bohai is, it can't be stronger than my Datang, our old friends have worked hard in recent years, and the national strength is great, and if it continues like this, it will become a problem for henchmen in the future." ”

Tian Qi said: "You want to fight Bohai again?" Silla has been in internal strife for many years, and its national strength has weakened, and its national strength has been thriving in recent years, and it is a tough battle to fight. ”

Li Mao said: "So you have to fight quickly, Qin Fengmian has already gone to Bohai, this time either you don't fight, if you want to fight, you have to fight hard, fight thoroughly, you can't fight like last time." ”

Tian Qian said: "I'll go first?" ”

Li Mao said: "You? You'd better hurry up and give me a prince. ”

After staying in Jinseong for a month, he received accurate information that Chang'an had agreed to appoint Kim Do-an as the king of Silla, and the envoy was rushing to Dengju, and it was expected that he would arrive in Silla in a month.

At this time, the overall situation of Silla had been decided, and Yangju took the initiative to submit to the new king, and only the three states of Shang, Ming, and Shuo remained in the domain. The three states are vast and sparsely populated, the financial resources are exhausted, and the total number of soldiers and horses is less than 5,000, so it is only a matter of time before the three states are taken. As for Kim so-jong in exile, the people's hearts have been lost and he is no longer a confidant.

In order to consolidate Kim Doan'an's position, Li Mao separated the 2,000 Silla soldiers from the 6th and 7th Divisions and handed them over to him as palace guards, and recruited 6,000 people on the spot to form a direct Wang army. Li Mao also promised that if the Silla officers and men in the rest of the armies were willing to return to China to serve their orders, they would also be allowed to leave.
