Chapter 297: Mission Accomplished
"Actually, the palace still advises the king not to do this", after listening to the words of the Wa King, Li Xian shook his head and smiled: "Although we defeated the Emperor of Caobi and completely disabled this army, in fact, Mino is really at your fingertips, but you have to be careful that the prince of the sea is desperate, because this battle has shattered his hope of victory, and he also knows that he can't afford it, so he will definitely find a way to attack Seta in a desperate situation, but as long as he can't hold on, Seta can still hold on, But the prince of the sea people will not only have this strategy, he will definitely immediately transfer the Silla naval army back and attack Otsu from the northeast, if you can hold on to Mio Castle, it will be fine, but if you go on an expedition to Mino, not only will you need to divide the troops to defend it, but it will also make the Otsu Palace empty, so once the Silla naval army comes to attack, I am afraid that the king will be difficult to parry.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about this, even the Emperor and Sun of Caobi were killed in battle, what use can Silla's little water army have? Besides, my army attacked Mino quickly and with lightning speed, solved the family of the prince of the sea people, and further improved my prestige, and I believe that more people will submit to me at that time, so that the stragglers and brave sailors will not be taken into my eyes. ”
After the great victory, the king thought that he would be able to achieve unification this time, and his attitude towards Li Xian immediately changed, and even when he called himself, he was no longer "Xiao Wang", but became "I", in addition, he could not listen to Li Xian's good words, which made Li Xian, who originally wanted to support him as a puppet, suddenly changed his mind, and no longer interfered in the civil war of the Japanese state, but gradually withdrew his own forces here, including Gao Sheji, who made great contributions to the victory of the Japanese king, and members of the merchant group in the Japanese country. and Shangguan Tingzhi, who was in a high position in the Wa Kingdom.
Of course, for Shangguan Tingzhi, because of the safety concerns after his return to China, Li Xian did not immediately arrange for him to withdraw to the country, but made arrangements for this in advance, so as not to be able to leave easily when he left one day in the future.
Because of Shangguan Tingzhi's special relationship with himself, Li Xian demanded that the various light and dark forces in the Wa Kingdom must ensure his safety, and even Li Xian even arranged some emergency shelters.
After more than ten days, Li Xian learned through secret channels that the Silla's Wa navy had defied the repeated requests of the Silla king, Kim Famin, and insisted on leaving Silla and returning to the Wa Kingdom, breaking the months-long blockade of the Tang waterway and making the waterway between Datang and Silla open again.
And at this time, after months of hard work, the new naval army of the Tang Dynasty was finally established, which was based on the fishermen and boat people on the riverside and seaside, absorbing some retired sailors and wandering government soldiers, of course, the real backbone of this is the crew of the Ming and Tang Dynasty merchants secretly cultivated by Li Xian, but these martial queens didn't know at all, and thought that it was her newly appointed naval governor Wei Chongyu who really controlled this army.
In any case, the re-opening of the waterway created very good conditions for the war between the Tang Dynasty and Silla, so that the grain and grass that they were about to be cut off were filled again, and the morale was quickly boosted, after getting sufficient supplies, Xue Rengui divided the army into two routes, one was led by him personally, attacking the land of Silla, which further put pressure on Kim Famin, and the other was led by Quan Nan, with a deep ditch and high fortress to prevent the attack of the Tata, and the situation of the war was reversed in a short time. The land previously regained by Kim Famin was once again occupied by the Tang army.
When he heard all this, Li Xian knew that his mission to the Wa Kingdom had been completed, and he had been disappointed in the Wa King, so there was no need to stay here any longer, so he proposed to resign to the Wa King.
Although the king and Li Xian no longer have the intimacy they had before, after all, Li Xian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of his country still needs to protect the thighs of the Tang Dynasty for a period of time, so at this time, he also looked reluctant to keep it, and kept it again and again, but Li Xian refused the retention of the king on the pretext that there was something in the country and could not stay for a long time, and decided to leave the country and return to the Tang Dynasty after three days.
However, when it was time to really leave, the king tried his best to win over Gao Sheji, promising to give Gao Sheji the position of general and reward a large amount of gold and silver, hoping that Gao Sheji could serve the Wa country.
Gao Sheji thought about Li Xian's ambition to plot against the country, and also wanted to take care of Shangguan Tingzhi, and originally wanted to agree, but was persuaded by Li Xian.
Li Xian shook his head and smiled when he heard the design talk about his plan: "Sheji, this Wa King is not a good person, you are not a Wa Guo, but you control the military power, once you help him win in the future, the first thing he does is to get rid of you, so staying in Wa Guo not only can not realize your plan, but even your life will be buried, and Mr. Shangguan is different, he is just a civil servant, he does not control military power, and cannot pose a threat to the Wa King, so after the Wa King wins, he will be more reused, What I'm most worried about now is that the king of the Japanese will not be able to win, but will be defeated, and Mr. Shangguan will be in danger at that time, after all, the prince of the sea man has now appeared as a conservative, and he especially hates the Tang system. However, I have made arrangements now, and I believe that no matter how big things happen, Mr. Shangguan will definitely be able to escape smoothly. ”
"His Royal Highness's meaning will be understood, and the last general will go to reject the king of the widow now and return to the Tang Dynasty with His Highness." Gao Sheji knew that Li Xian was reluctant to give himself up and didn't want to die here in vain, so he was even more grateful to Li Xian in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said.
But seeing Li Xian waved his hand, he smiled lightly: "In fact, you directly and simply refused, then the king of the widow will feel relaxed, because he is also afraid that your prestige will increase greatly, which will affect his status, and the reason why he retains you is not for the victory of the war, because he believes that with the current situation, even if it is led by a sow, he can achieve victory, he is just to leave a feeling of being thirsty, and your refusal has helped him a lot, so it is too late for him to thank you, and he will definitely give you some rewards, And if you take these things, he will let you go with peace of mind. ”
What happened then was as Li Xian expected, Gao She Chicken found the Wa King, and simply proposed that he wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty with Li Xian, the Wa King's face was unrelenting, but the occasional flash of relief on his face betrayed his true thoughts, after Gao Sheji refused again, the Wa King gave Gao She Chicken a thousand taels of gold, Gao She Chicken generously accepted, and the Wa King was relieved, and happily sent Gao She Chicken away from the Wa Kingdom.
