Chapter 590: Death Depends on Not Leaving

"How is it, the Baekje envoy asked to see His Majesty again today?" Seeing Cheng Chumo, who had just changed shifts, walk in, Wu Yuanqing asked very gossipy.

"Every day I ask you if you are annoyed, you are almost as annoyed as the Baekje envoy." Cheng Chumo said angrily.

"Haha. Looking at you like this, I know that the Baekje envoy waited another day, and waited in vain, right? Wu Yuanqing stroked his palms and laughed.

"Yes, you guessed it right again." Cheng Chu was silent.

"Haha." Wu Yuanqing smiled proudly.

"Hey, when did you say that this Baekje man will leave, and he is not afraid that His Majesty will get angry and chop him up every day."

"Instead of asking when the Baekje people will leave, you should ask Your Majesty when you will agree to canonize the new Baekje King, as long as Your Majesty canonizes it, I guarantee that the Baekje people will automatically get out of the way in minutes." Wu Yuanqing said amusedly.

"Isn't that something waiting? I don't think Your Majesty wants to canonize the new king of Baekje at all." Cheng Chu said with a smile and a smile.

"No, in addition to waiting for His Majesty to be canonized, you can also wait for Your Majesty to send troops to Baekje, I heard that Chen Dade is coming back soon, maybe His Majesty will be ready to send troops to Liaodong as soon as he returns." Wu Yuanqing said.

"What, send troops to Liaodong? Isn't that going to conquer Goguryeo like Emperor Yang of Sui? The look of shock on Cheng Chumo's face flashed.

"Phew, what nonsense, what like Emperor Yang of Sui. You say that Your Majesty is like Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Wu of Wei, but don't say that he is like Emperor Yang of Sui, otherwise be careful that he will chop you up without looking at your father's face." Wu Yuanqing quipped.

Cheng Chumo, who knew that he was speechless, patted his mouth: "Look at my broken mouth, I can't control it."

"Haha, we can still talk about it when we are together. Don't worry, brother, I won't sue you." Wu Yuanqing said with a grin.

"Get out, I'm older than you, don't always think about taking advantage of me." Cheng Chumo punched Wu Yuanqing.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Your Majesty is preparing to fight Goguryeo for a day or two, just like you said like Emperor Yang of Sui, Your Majesty is ready to fight Goguryeo, but there is a difference that Your Majesty not only wants to fight Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, these two countries are also in the list of countries that Your Majesty is preparing to fight, so Your Majesty's heart is much bigger than that of Emperor Yang of Sui." Wu Yuanqing said his opinion.

"Won't you, hit three countries at once? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty lost a Goguryeo army and lost his troops, so it's a little difficult for us to fight three at once." Cheng Chumo said with some worry.

"There are many reasons why Emperor Yang of Sui did not defeat Goguryeo, taking his first army as an example, it was entirely because Emperor Yang of Sui gave orders indiscriminately, which led to too many good opportunities for his soldiers and gave Goguryeo too many respite, otherwise he would have easily taken Goguryeo for the first time. And the second time, Emperor Yang of Sui learned a lesson and delegated power to his subordinates, and the chief managers below did not live up to his expectations, and attacked Goguryeo like a bamboo, but Yang Xuangan rebelled in the rear when he was about to take Goguryeo. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also powerless, and in the end he could only return in vain."The reason for Wu Yuanqing's failure of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo is quite clear.

In fact, it is not clear how many upper-class people in the Tang Dynasty are, and they are basically clear. It's just that in order to make the founding of the Tang Dynasty justifiable, it is inevitable to smear the previous dynasty, so the reason for the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo is all blamed on the mediocrity and incompetence of Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Then you mean that we are sure to win by fighting three countries? Cheng Chu meditated and felt that it made sense, but he still felt a little pressured to fight three countries at once.

"I don't dare to say that I win, but eight or nine is not far from ten," Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.

"That's basically a win." Cheng Chumo believed in Wu Yuanqing's judgment very much, and when he heard Wu Yuanqing say this, he was reassured.

A few days later, the envoy to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, who was in charge of mediating the war, came to Langya to report on the mission.

"Your Majesty, the minister has failed to mediate the war between the Three Kingdoms, please punish Your Majesty." Chen Dade knelt down and pleaded guilty as soon as he saw the emperor.

Li Shimin asked him to get up with a smile on his face and said: "What is the crime of Qing, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are all rebellious, and it is expected that I will not respect the suzerain, and sending Qing to there is just a bad excuse for the king of Silla to send envoys repeatedly. Therefore, Aiqing does not have to blame herself. Let's tell me about what I saw and heard in Liaodong."

Of course, Li Shimin would not blame Chen Dade, because as he said, he did not expect that the Three Kingdoms would accept mediation. It's really just to do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, anyway, as the suzerain, I'm sending someone to mediate, whether you listen or not is your business, it's best not to listen, I have a reason to beat you.

Li Shimin has been eyeing the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong two years ago, there is no way that these Three Kingdoms are capricious, Li Shimin, who is paying tribute today and wants to bite the Tang Dynasty tomorrow for a little profit, has long been annoyed. So when they started a war between the Three Kingdoms, Li Shimin was quite happy to see it, how could he be willing to send someone to mediate and let them stop the war, if he really wanted to mediate, he would not send Chen Dade to go.

Chen Dade, look at the official position, although he is an official of the Ministry of War, he is in charge of the map of the world and the affairs of the city god, the town, the fortress, the beacon, and the internal attachment of the ethnic minorities along the border, so it is reasonable to send him to the vassal state to mediate the war according to his position.

However, this position is only from the rank of Liupin, which is a low-level official in the Tang Dynasty, and filming such a low-level official to mediate the war of the Three Kingdoms should be a manifestation of insufficient attention, especially in Goguryeo, a country that feels that it is very good, they think that they can defeat Emperor Yang of Sui on three expeditions, and their strength is a little worse than that of the Tang Dynasty.

How could it be possible to be willing to listen to the words of a six-rank petty official and stop the war, especially when Silla has been beaten and almost destroyed.

Something completely impossible.

Therefore, Li Shimin had no intention of mediating at all, and sent people just to save face, so as not to be said that the suzerainty was useless.

"Your Majesty, the minister came to Goguryeo first, and there he saw many Chinese people, all of whom stayed in Goryeo at the end of the Sui Dynasty, married women who traveled far away from home, and lived in mixed places with the Goguryeo people, accounting for almost half of the locals. When they heard that the minister was coming, they all waited along the road, reported their homes and asked the ministers if their families in the Central Plains were okay. The minister could not bear to see them disappointed, so he had to coax them that they were all in good condition. Then the men wept and told each other. What the minister saw and heard along the road, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of people, and when Guangchen came back, there were tens of thousands of people who followed behind and refused to leave." Chen Dade said with tears in his eyes.

Li Shimin was silent.

Chen Dade thought for a moment and said again: "Your Majesty, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje were greatly frightened when they heard of the destruction of Gaochang and the Western Regions, and they sent people to inquire about the ministers, as if they were worried that Your Majesty would use troops against them."

"Goguryeo was originally the four counties set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and my Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with them, if tens of thousands of troops were mobilized to attack Liaodong, Goguryeo would inevitably come to the rescue of the country, and if another naval division was sent out of Dongrae, Pyongyang was driven directly from the sea route, and the land and water were encircled, and it was easy to capture Goryeo, but Silla, Baekje would inevitably be horned with Goguryeo at that time, and it might be a little troublesome. Li Shimin seemed to be talking to himself.
