Chapter 261: The Empress vs. the Queen

"Conditions? What conditions? Li Su asked with a smile on his face.!

"This condition is really simple for His Highness, no matter what His Highness wants to do with us Silla in the future, I just hope that His Highness can keep the name of our Silla country, so that our Silla country can continue!" When Jin Shengman said this, the color of pleading on his face was even stronger.

After all, a considerable part of the war materials of the two countries had to be purchased by Dengzhou, and Dengzhou was in the hands of Li Su, so it can be said that he controlled the victory or loss of this war with one hand, and Lu Hong only slightly reduced his trade with Baekje, and immediately let Silla take back a lot of territory, which is a good proof.

And Wu Meiniang, who was behind Li Su, heard Jin Shengman's request, but her eyes lit up, and she looked at the Silla queen carefully with appreciation. As one of the most important helpers by Li Su's side, Wu Meiniang knew very well in her heart that her husband had already listed Silla as a country that would be destroyed, and with the growth of Li Su's strength, coupled with the war with Baekje, it can be said that as long as Li Su is willing, he can definitely destroy the small country of Silla in the shortest possible time.

Although many people know about Li Su's ambitions for Silla, almost all of these people are people around Li Su, and few people in the outside world know, but this Silla queen can guess it, and she is very smart to take this opportunity to put forward the request to retain the national anceo, the so-called retention of the national anceo, in fact, is to retain the inheritance of the Silla throne, even if Silla is ruled by Li Su, but their Silla Kim clan can be passed on, and even if there is a chance in later generations, it is not impossible to restore the country.

"Keeping the country name? Keeping the national ancestry? So what's in it for me? Li Su looked at Jin Shengman with some hesitation, with the intelligence of the other party, it was not strange to guess his ambition for Silla, but what he didn't expect was. The other party actually had some determination and courage, and ran to Dengzhou alone to talk to him.

As an extremely sober king, Kim Seung-man saw the crisis facing Silla very clearly, and although it was difficult to solve the current battle with Baekje, this situation was deliberately created by the Qi king in front of her, and she was sure that when Baekje was exhausted from fighting with their Silla, it would be when Yi Cho sent troops to destroy their two countries. At that time, even the overseas Japanese countries will suffer.

That's why she judged it this way. In addition to his own understanding of Li Su, he also learned an amazing news, that is, Li Su actually gave up the low-hanging fruit throne and chose to develop outward, and with the energy that Li Su now masters, coupled with the fact that Dengju is so close to Silla, the other party will definitely not let Silla go.

Thinking of this, Jin Shengman gritted his silver teeth and said with a firm face: "If His Highness agrees, Silla is willing to sacrifice half of the country." and His Royal Highness, the King of Fuqi, shall make a covenant. List Silla as a country that will never be conquered! ”

"Hahahaha~" Li Su heard Jin Shengman's proposal to exchange half of the land for peace, but he suddenly raised his head and laughed, and only stopped for a while, and then his face suddenly changed, and he asked in a cold voice, "Your Royal Highness, do you think I will care about your little territory in Silla?" ”

Jin Shengman's face turned pale after hearing this. Sure enough, Li Su was not interested in their Silla territory at all, but did not want any threat around him. In addition, Silla's large population should also be one of the targets of the other side.

Li Su looked at Kim Seungman's pale face, but his face was as resolute as a rock, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to keep the national ancestry, I can promise you, and I can even support you to win Baekje, but if you are interested, you had better order the whole country to give up resistance after that, and my people will take over Silla, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties!" ”

Li Su said in a light tone, Silla is not Goguryeo, the country is small and the people are weak to describe them, even at the peak of national strength, at most they can only mobilize about 100,000 troops, and their combat power is also extremely weak. In addition, now that the war between them and Baekje is raging, and countless people have died in the prime of life in the country, even if they win the war in the end, how many troops will be left by then? At that time, as long as Li Su sent an elite of more than 10,000 people, he could almost destroy Silla, not to mention that Li Su's strength was far more than that, and even when necessary, he could borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty.

"Do you really want to destroy us Silla so much?" Jin Shengman's face turned pale, and he asked with some gritted teeth, but his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Li Su.

"It's not that I want to destroy you Silla, it's just that you're just in my way!" Li Su said indifferently, but he obviously didn't tell the truth, except for Silla blocking his way, in the later generations of his time, the two fools on the Korean Peninsula also made him extremely disgusted, and this was also an important reason why he tried his best to destroy them.

Listening to Li Su's ruthless words, looking at the other party's indifferent expression, Jin Shengman's face changed, and finally suddenly sighed, the anxious color on his face receded like a tide, and then looked at Li Su with a slightly weak gaze, and said in a quiet tone: "Since this is the case, I promise you!" ”

Seeing that the other party really agreed, Li Su's face also showed a hint of surprise, with his understanding of this little girl, the other party didn't seem to be a person who gave in so easily? I think that in order to let myself take her to see Jindeman, the other party has worn himself down for a few days, and that kind of courage that never turns back makes him a little stunned when he thinks about it now.

At this moment, I only heard Jin Shengman continue: "But let's return Silla to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, but we can't use the method of surrender." ”

"No need to surrender?" Li Su was extremely surprised, and couldn't understand what idea this Jin Shengman wanted to fight?

"Not bad!" Jin Shengman's face suddenly flushed, and his tone was a little trembling, "Your Highness wants us Silla, I can give it to you, but Silla is not monolithic, and there are many people who oppose me, if I order surrender, it will definitely cause civil strife, so ...... So ......"

"No way!" Before Jin Shengman finished speaking, Wu Meiniang next to Li Su suddenly snorted and interrupted the other party's words.

Li Su hadn't figured out what Jin Shengman meant, but he didn't expect Wu Meiniang, who had been warned by himself not to speak, to stand up, and with a look of opposition, she obviously guessed Jin Shengman's plan.

"Who are you, a national affair that allows you, a little woman, to interfere?" Jin Shengman's words were interrupted, and the other party was still a little woman, which naturally made her very annoyed, plus she was already a little humiliated in her heart, and now when she saw Wu Meiniang interject, she suddenly vented the anger in her heart on the other party.

"Hmph, you don't care who I am, but don't think that you are the only smart woman in the world!" Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of hostility when she looked at the other party, and she said with great disdain in her tone, "Don't you just want to marry His Highness, so that His Highness has a reason to meddle in Silla, and then control Silla step by step?" However, although this method seems to be good, do you need me to say more about the deep meaning in it? ”

Jin Shengman heard Wu Meiniang's words to reveal his scheming, especially pointed out that his move had another deep meaning, and his face couldn't help but turn pale again. She did have the idea of marriage, and after the marriage, she would indeed hand over Silla to Li Su, but she had deeper plans.

After the marriage, although Silla will be taken over by Li Su, but Silla's country name is still there, she is still the queen of Silla, and the hearts of the people in the country are still with her. There is also more reason for the national honor of Silla to be passed on, and as long as the name of Silla is not extinguished, there is always hope to restore the original independent status.

When Li Su heard that Jin Shengman was planning to get married, she was also shocked, no wonder her face was so strange just now. However, when he heard Wu Meiniang's last sentence, he immediately understood Jin Shengman's plan, and he couldn't help but be a little scared in his heart, fortunately with Wu Meiniang's reminder, otherwise he really wouldn't have thought of it so far.

Although Jin Shengman was a little panicked by Wu Meiniang's scheming, after all, she had been a queen for a while, and she quickly calmed down, analyzed the current situation like lightning in her heart, and immediately stopped paying attention to Wu Meiniang, but looked at Li Su with a resolute gaze and said: "That's right, if Your Highness wants Silla, you can only marry me, if you don't agree to me, then Shengman will have no choice but to mobilize the whole country to resist foreign enemies, although you know that it is an egg to hit a stone, but at least our Silla still has some integrity!" ”

"How dare you threaten us?" Before Li Yi could speak, Wu Meiniang suddenly said loudly, and her charming little face was also shrouded in a layer of murderous aura.

For this Silla queen, Wu Meiniang is ten thousand women who don't want the other party to become Li Su, because she understands very well that whether it is Xiao Wenxin and Wang Xijun in Chang'an City, or Cui Mengxue who met on the boat, the three of them are simple-minded women, and it should not be difficult for them to get along with them in the future. But the Silla queen in front of her is completely different, in terms of wisdom and strategy, the other party is a first-class talent, if she really makes her a woman who is Li Su, it is definitely a strong opponent.

However, no matter how unwilling Wu Meiniang is, it is useless, because the decision is not in her hands, everything depends on Li Su's meaning, if Jin Shengman really fights to the death, then even if he defeats Silla, I am afraid he will have to pay a certain price, which is absolutely undesirable for Li Su, who has always believed in exchanging the minimum price for the greatest benefit.

It's just that Wu Meiniang also knows that Li Su is a person with strong self-esteem, and what she doesn't like the most is the threat of others, obviously this Queen of Silla has committed Li Su's taboo. (To be continued)
