451 Food Problems

Napoleon said, "In war, the first must be rich, the second must be rich, and the third must be rich." ”

The chairman said much more elegantly, "I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart." ”

The main reason why Su You led the army from Baekje to Silla was to take advantage of the competition between Goryeo and Silla to reap the benefits of fishermen; Another important reason was that they wanted to destroy the main army of Goryeo before attacking the royal fortress of Goryeo.

As things stand, plans have not caught up with the changes.

Because the Goryeo army did not take the golden city, Su You now wants to get this city and it has become a little unjustifiable; The plan to destroy the Goryeo army was well accomplished, and unexpectedly nearly 10,000 prisoners were captured.

Because of this, Su You's needs have become clearer.

Su You was thinking about how to blackmail the king of Silla, but he heard the latest news from the spies in front of him, saying that a messenger from Silla had arrived on horseback.

When he heard the news, Su You couldn't help frowning, and immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Ding.

The reason why Zhang Ding appeared here was actually somewhat similar to Su You's thoughts, he also wanted to take advantage of the war between Goryeo and Silla to obtain certain benefits, such as grabbing some warships or something.

Zhang Ding's soldiers were only more than 5,000 men and more than 500 war horses, and such a composition was obviously unable to go ashore to fight, which was why he could not answer Su You's proposal to attack Jincheng.

If it was possible, why didn't Zhang Ding want to get more benefits?

"Shall we get off the boat first?" After Su You said this to Zhang Ding, he issued an order to his soldiers, "Invite those Silla envoys over!" ”

"What are Yokoba's plans for Silla?" Zhang Ding saw that there was no emotional fluctuation on Su You's face, and immediately asked with a smile.

"As I said just now, the purpose of coming here was originally to take over the mess of Jincheng, but I didn't expect that the Koreans were so incompetent that they didn't fight for six or seven days." Su You smiled bitterly and shook his head, very dissatisfied with Goryeo's failure to take Jincheng.

Zhang Ding didn't know how to answer Su You's troubles for a while, he only knew that Silla was a vassal state of the Great Sui, but after chatting with Su You for a long time, he probably guessed Su You's ambition.

The Central Plains is in such chaos now, and if it is a matter of occupying the vassals of the Great Sui, it is not a way of thinking.

But now, Zhang Ding didn't think too much, he followed Su You off the boat and looked ahead.

A total of more than ten people from the Silla envoy group had already arrived at the front, and they were still thirty or fifty zhang away from this side before they had already turned over and dismounted, and Su You's guards naturally stopped most of the people, and only let the three people led in.

These three civil officials were all civil officials of Silla, and their clothing was somewhat similar to that of Baekje.

The clothes of the Silla officials were also mainly white and blue, and the black gauze hats on their heads were similar to those of the hats, although they were not as tall as the hats of the Nanjung people, but they were superior in terms of surface area.

Among these three civil officials, Kim Il-kwon, the head of Silla's Ministry of Rites, was a member of the Ministry of Rites, who had made several envoys to the Great Sui, and the other two men in their thirties were all Silla Chamberlains

Along the way, although Jin Riquan and the others pretended not to squint, they still felt the neatness of the Yunzhong Army.

At the beginning, they felt incredible watching Wang Bodang and others chasing and killing the Goryeo army at the head of the city, but now that they were in Su You's army, Jin Riquan thought even more strongly in his heart that this was the king of the Great Sui.

However, when the three Silla people finally saw Su You, Kim Il-kwon, who was the leader, still felt a little depressed, and although he felt that Su You had a good face, he really couldn't guess his official position from the civilian clothes he was wearing.

When Jin Riquan looked at Zhang Ding, who was dressed a little nondescript behind Su You, and Yuan Qiniang, who could not appear in the army, he didn't know how to speak for such an unbelievable lineup.

Su You was guessing the intentions of these Silla envoys in front of him, so he didn't rush to speak.

He only hesitated slightly for a moment, then bowed to Su You, and then introduced himself in a somewhat nondescript Silla dialect Chinese, "The subordinate is Jin Riquan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I thank the emperor of the Great Sui for sending Wang Shi to come to help, and the subordinate is late to greet him, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

The heavy snow had only stopped for a few days, and although there was no snow on the bluestone slabs on the pier at this time, after the battle just now, it was wet everywhere, so the etiquette of the Silla people was not rude.

Listening to Jin Riquan's words, Su You immediately burst into laughter.

Su You couldn't have imagined that he originally came with the intention of taking advantage, but he would become a king teacher for some reason; And the credit of cleaning up the Koreans has also been properly completed by Yang Guang.

However, Su You seems to still have the official position of the Great Sui, so Jin Riquan's words make sense.

"Why bother with a little effort? However, the main force of the Goryeo army in this attack was not the soldiers of our Great Sui, but the Ryukyu troops led by this General Zhang Ding. Su You shook his head, and pointed at Zhang Ding at the end.

Zhang Ding was stunned, but still nodded; Kim Il-kwan and others felt even more inexplicable, why did a Ryukyu army suddenly come?

To be able to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of a country, of course, Kim Il-kwan will not be unfamiliar with the word "Ryukyus", but how can Ryukyu or something compare to the influence of the Great Sui? Even if the current Great Sui is in chaos, even if the envoys of the Ryukyus want to worship last year, they can't go to the eastern capital.

"I don't know what position Shangguan holds?" Kim Il Kwon was obviously only interested in Su You, and continued at his own pace as a matter of course.

"This official is Su You, the imperial historian of the current dynasty." Su You's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he reported his official name.

The grades of the Imperial Historian and the Ritual Department Shangshu were almost equal, but the gold content of the Imperial Historian of the Great Sui Dynasty was far beyond the reach of a small country like Silla.

When Jin Riquan heard Su You's name, he finally knew why he felt that Su You was a little kind.

In the third year of the great cause, when Su You became famous in the Sifang Pavilion, Jin Riquan was present; In the summer of that year, Goryeo marched into Silla Baekje, and it was also Su Youli who was reinforced, so that Laihong and Yangseonhui each brought 1,000 cavalry to the two small countries.

Su You's kindness to Silla Baekje, how could Kim Il-kwon, not remember?

Jin Riquan straightened up, and finally said the purpose of his mission, "It turned out to be Su Yushi, my king is ready to reward the king, I don't know"

Su You nodded secretly, thinking that the Silla people were not incapable of eating the ancients, but he still said with some embarrassment, "Well, this?"

Kim Il-kin bowed again and pleaded, "My king is ready to welcome the officials, please follow the ministers into the city!" ”

"Alright then!" Su You immediately agreed, and Jin Riquan took his leave and went back to resume his life.

"How did Yokobo give all the credit to the foolish brother just now?" Zhang Ding hurriedly grabbed Su You and asked a little puzzled.

"In order to blackmail Silla, the eldest brother will cry to the king of Silla about the current difficulties, and it will definitely be worth the trip." Su You smiled and replied.

"The difficulty at hand? Still crying? Zhang Ding was even more puzzled.

Su You had no choice but to smile and say, "Big brother has more than 10,000 soldiers at the moment, but this time in order to help Silla disperse the Goryeo army, he made a detour here, and now the army food is tight."

Zhang Ding suddenly realized, and finally understood Su You's plan, if he could really cheat out some food, it would really be easier than attacking Jincheng.

After getting to the bottom with Zhang Ding, Su You and Zhang Dingyuan's seven ladies led the five hundred most elite guards into the south gate of Jincheng, the capital of Silla.

The south gate of Jincheng was the main gate of the Goryeo army, and they used catapults from the Dasui cottage during the attack, but fortunately, the time was short, and the Goryeo people had no more stones to use, so they used snowballs in the end

It sounds like the two countries are having a snowball fight, but those who have lived through this war must know the power of snowballs falling from the sky.

When Su You arrived at the gate on horseback, he saw the king of Silla, Kim Baek-jeong, leading a hundred civil and military officials to greet him from a distance.

Jin Baijing looks only about fifty years old, but his actual age is more than sixty years old, and he has been on the throne for thirty-eight years since he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five.

During these thirty-eight years, Kim Baek-jeong did not seem to have done well compared to the previous Silla kings. -- Not only did he not expand an inch of territory, but he was forced to follow the Great Sui in desperation and became a vassal state of the Great Sui.

However, in the previous years, the Goryeo people stopped their invasion because of the garrison of the Great Sui, which led to a boom in the living standards of the Silla people and a full treasury.

After four or five years of peace, the Koreans suddenly sent troops to their own capital, which Jin Baijing couldn't understand.

After Jin Baijing greeted Su You, he naturally treated him as a guest, he first greeted Yang Guang, the lord of the Great Sui, in the name of the king, and then thanked Su You for his arrival in his personal name.

Next, Su You, Zhang Ding and others walked to the palace under the leadership of Jin Baijing, while the civil and military officials followed closely behind, and the five hundred heavy cavalry led by Zhang Long followed.

Knowing that the siege of the Goryeo had collapsed, the citizens of Geumseong naturally poured into the streets, shouting not only long live the King of Silla, but also the army of the Great Sui Emperor.

In this time and space, the Silla people were pro-Han, and they had their own infinite yearning for the Eastern Capital and the Jiangdu of the Great Sui.

What the people of Silla don't know is that the people of Dasui have long been in dire straits, and although the living standards of the people of Dongdu and Jiangdu are better than those of the people of Jincheng, they are trembling.

The Silla people still have dreams and yearn to go to the Great Sui, but the current Great Sui people can still know where they are going?

During the banquet in the palace, Su You was a little vague about Jin Baijing's question about the situation in the Central Plains; In fact, even if Su You didn't say it, couldn't Jin Baijing guess the current situation in the Great Sui?

Silla had sent several waves of envoys to the Great Sui in the past two years, but these people could no longer move forward after arriving in Jiangdu.

What Jin Baijing didn't know was how Su You could still come to the rescue of Silla at this time.

Su You naturally pushed Zhang Ding out, and the latter asked Jin Baijing for support according to what had been agreed a long time ago.

Jin Baijing was a little hesitant about Zhang Ding's statement, Silla does have a lot of grain now, but what the hell is Ryukyu?

Fortunately, with Su You's mediation, Jin Baijing finally agreed to Zhang Ding's statement that he needed 300,000 stone of grain with the mentality of sending the plague god, and the handover was carried out early the next morning.

Su You and Zhang Ding added two to five of these grains, and after leaving the dock in Jincheng, they parted ways.
