Chapter 253: Refresh the Three Views
The Protectorate of Andong was unaware of the changes that were taking place in the Ya tribe in the Nahe River Basin, and Li Yu was bent on speeding up the pace of development of the islands in the South Seas, and was trying his best to expand the strength of Jiaolong HNA.

The exploration of the white mountains and black waters in the northeast is only to curb the fishing and hunting peoples in the mountains and forests in the future, and it is not Li Yu's ideal to create another place in China.
Xue Maoxun and Feng Changming's request for additional troops, Li Yu reviewed them after dealing with the urgent affairs at hand, and raised the matter of increasing troops.
Because of the presence of Silla, Andong needed to be heavily defended. No, yesterday, the armies in the south guarding against Silla reported that Silla was moving, and they were sending troops to hoard grain and grass, and it seemed that they were preparing to start the war again.
Silla was stuck in the throat, so Li Yu could not let go of the expansion in various places, and a large number of troops had to be held at the northern tip of the Korean Peninsula in case of contingencies.
"Silla doesn't know what to do, and there are constant small movements on the border, why don't I destroy it?"
Li Yu was ruthless, and it was reported that Li Yuan, Xue Jun, Xue Ne, Li Yehei and other heads of civil and military affairs of the Protectorate discussed the destruction of Silla.
"Our army promised to launch a war of annihilation against Silla after the autumn harvest this year, can we end the war early next year?"
Li Yuanyuan, Xue Ne and the others looked stunned, not wanting His Highness to summon them to discuss the destruction of Silla. But it is not easy to destroy Silla that has been established for hundreds of years in a few months.
Xue Jun persuaded with a bitter face: "Please also think twice, Silla has a deep foundation for more than 300 years, and it is in the heyday of the Junming Chenxian Kingdom." There are more than 200,000 soldiers who can fight, and the north has built fortified cities to defend by risk, and there are many mountains, rivers and valleys in the territory. It is really difficult for our army to win in a few months, and it will inevitably fall into a protracted war. Without the support of the imperial court's soldiers and food, with only Anton's more than 60,000 soldiers and the same number of united soldiers, it will be difficult to support the stalemate of the war. ”
"Goguryeo, which has more than 300,000 soldiers, has been using troops for decades, and many famous generals have led the army to fight several times before it was wiped out. Silla was still in danger of losing the country under the attack of Goguryeo and Baekje. Today, it is really difficult to rely on the strength of our army and the ability of lieutenant generals and colonels to do the job. ”
Xue Ne had to be ashamed to explain the facts, lest His Highness be carried away by the suppression of the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo and the victory of the Black Water Spirit, and start a war when his strength was not enough to launch a war to destroy the country.
In terms of military talent, Xue Ne was ashamed that he was inferior to his father, and among the generals of Anton's army, he did not find his father and famous generals such as Li Ji and Gao Kan. Generals are generally young and lack practical experience. With only these generals leading the army to attack the Silla army, which is experienced in battle formations, it is the best outcome to achieve a local victory, and Xue Ne does not think so.
Li Yu's enthusiasm was poured a basin of cold water by the fact that Xue Jun, Xue Ne and others put it in front of them, and it was cold. In desperation, I had to wave my hand and retreat, what should I do.
It wasn't until five days later that Silla's envoy Jishi Xiaokun came to meet Li Yu with a heavy gift, and made it clear that Silla's recent troop movements on the border were normal changes of defense and replenishment of grain and grass, and that his loyalty to Shangguo could be seen by the sun and the moon, and that Silla could send troops to help the Tang Dynasty with his disobedience to the Black Water Spirit.
Ha? Does my Datang still need your small country to send troops to help fight?
Ji Shi Xiaotuna opened his eyes and said nonsense, and praised Silla's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty to the sky with a righteous and awe-inspiring picture, which made Li Yu want to do evil and spit on him for a while. If our army is defeated in the conquest of the Black Water Indigo, you Silla will probably raise troops to the north.
Since Silla did not dare to invade the north, and took the initiative to send envoys to cover up his disobedience, how could he not blackmail?
"The general of the southern towns said that Silla had a good harvest last year, and that all the cities in the north of Silla had stored tens of thousands of stone of grain and grass in the recent period, which is really envious. Since Silla is loyal, how about giving 100,000 stone grains to the Protectorate of the Protectorate to relieve the food of Andong's millions of soldiers and civilians? ”
"This?"
Ji Shi Xiaotuna had a difficult face, but he was very panicked in his heart, holding the desk with his hand to keep his body calm, and thinking about how to excuse himself in his mind.
If it was really 100,000 stone grains, Ji Shi Xiao Tu didn't have to think about it, and when he went back, the old and young family would be cut off by the king.
Ji Shi Xiaokun, who was in a hurry, suddenly knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan's name of benevolence and righteousness has been known for a long time, and it has spread far and wide, and it is easy for children in the countryside of our country to hear about it. ”
How should the name of my righteousness be so proclaimed? Li Yu sat on the collapse and was praised by Ji Shi Xiaotuna, and touched the bridge of his nose a little embarrassed.
"My Silla is only a small country and a widow, and although the grain is abundant, it is not enough to provide for the needs of the people of the whole country for a year, so that the people are poor and weak, and the soldiers are often invaded by the surrounding Yidi. King Yan of Shangguo was benevolent and righteous, and did not hesitate to personally lead his army to protect Silla from being invaded by Yidi and protect the safety of the people of the country. When they heard that the army and civilians led by King Yan were short of food and clothing, Silla was grateful for the virtue of King Yan, and everyone rushed to cut down on food and clothing, and only ate one meal a day, just to raise food and grass for the needs of His Royal Highness King Yan's army. The people of Fensila worked together to raise 20,000 stone of grain and 10,000 pieces of cloth from the rations to thank His Highness for his kindness to Silla......"
Ji Shi Xiao Kun knelt on the ground to Li Yu like a grateful person, and tears almost fell between his words. Nuo Fei knew what he was doing to Silla and knew the truth about Silla quite well, and Li Yu was almost deceived by Ji Shi's performance full of gratitude.
People who don't know really think that Li Yu is the life-saving benefactor of Silla, and the Silla monarchs and ministers and the people did not hesitate to take out their rations in order to repay the kindness.
Xue Jun and the others who were sitting on the side couldn't help laughing, their firmly closed mouths almost burst out laughing, so they had to lower their heads and look at the desk to hide their gaffes.
This Silla envoy is really a strange man through the ages, who talks nonsense with his eyes open to the point of doing everything he can, and insists on turning black into white. Li Yu, Xue Jun and others had to give him a thumbs up in their hearts.
For the sake of a mere 100,000 stone grain, why is this so!
Li Yu shook his head and sighed in his heart, I don't really want you Silla to give 100,000 stone grain. Even if I insist on it, your king won't give it, is it possible that I will use this to raise troops to start a war?
Didn't you say that you would ask for a sky-high price and pay back the money on the ground? Did you pay it back like that? In order to save food, I don't even want to do festivals.
Li Yu thought in his heart whether he should have someone write down the words of Jishi Tuna and send it to Kim Famin, the king of Silla? Forget it, it's better to leave it to the newspapers and periodicals to spread the word to the world when our soldiers have enough food to launch a war of annihilation. At that time, it is estimated that the Silla monarchs and ministers will be so angry that they vomit blood, and there are such brazen people in the Silla country.
Ji Shi Xiao Kunnuo knows what Li Yu thinks in his heart, and he probably laments that I am also thinking about the lives of my family! How can discipline be more important than life?
"The people of Silla know about Entu, and they are very good!" Li Yuqiang couldn't help but smile and said seriously: "For the sake of the kindness of the people in Silla to relieve the hardship of our army and people, this king reluctantly accepted this small gift from your country. ”
Ji Shi tuna's face is dry, but he has to swallow the bitter fruit he brews, and he has to be grateful for swallowing it. For King Yan agreeing to the amount of grain he proposed, he was even more excited and shouted: "King Yan is benevolent and righteous, I Silla can be blessed by King Yan, it is really a blessing for three lives......"
"Plus nine hundred beautiful girls!"
Li Yu replied to the order that kneeling on the ground and shouting how King Yan is holy, and his smile froze, but he responded in an instant: "The small country will definitely meet the needs of His Royal Highness King Yan of Shengde......"
Ji Shi Xiao Tuna shamelessly flattered Li Yu wanted to laugh and nauseate, and hurriedly waved his hand to let him get out after the discussion, this kind of person with no discipline and no lower limit is really eye-opening and refreshing.
This made Li Yu vigilant that the envoys sent to other countries in the future must make a good choice, so as not to lose power and humiliate the country without indiscipline.
When the attendant reported to Ji Shi, Xiao Kun not only had no shame, but also left Pyongyang with high spirits and returned to China.
Li Yu was not only surprised, but still surprised!
