Just when Li Chongjiu was about to use troops against Goguryeo, he heard that two Silla envoys had crossed the sea to Jixian County, Zhuo County, on the orders of the king.

Li Chongjiu said in his heart that although he was going to fight with Goguryeo, what would Silla do here. However, Lee knew that Silla and Goguryeo had always been hostile.

Goguryeo, since moving its capital to Pyongyang, has been carrying out the current strategic policy of destroying Silla and Baekje and unifying the Imperial Peninsula.

At that time, Goguryeo attacked Silla in a hurry and almost destroyed the country, and then Silla had no choice but to do so, so he sent a sea ship to ask Sui for help and let Sui intervene. In the Sui period, Silla had sent envoys to the Sui tributary four times, so the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty also had to subdue the old land of Liaodong in order to guard against Goguryeo's greatness, and a total of four northern expeditions to Goguryeo, and also fulfilled Silla's request.

After Li Chongjiu heard the news, he immediately set out from Huaihuang Town and went to Jixian County, Zhuo County, where he met with Wei Zheng in the county guard's mansion to meet with the Silla envoy.

The Silla envoys were two monks, Silla believed in Buddhism, so the monks had a very high status in the country, and in addition to the two monks, there were also four young men. These four teenagers were not only dressed in gorgeous clothes, but also had white powder on their faces, which surprised everyone.

Ji Chuan and the other ministers were secretly amused, and said in their hearts, could it be that the king of Silla thought that Li Chongjiu had the good of Longyang, so he sent a beautiful young man to please him?

At the next time, the first monk said: "The poor monk Kongshan, on the order of my lord and the true king, came to meet Li Yuanjun. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "The two of you came all the way across the sea, and it was really hard. ”

This is true, the sea route between Silla and Sui is very dangerous, the undercurrent is surging, and it is easy to capsize the ship, so the two monks crossed the sea from Silla, landed in Bohae-gun, and then came to Zhuo-gun, which really took a lot of hard work.

The monk, named Kongshan, said with a smile: "If you can complete my king's mission, it doesn't hurt to work hard. ”

When the empty mountain sent a gift list, it was Silla's specialty sandalwood bow, ginseng, bezoar, and fruit dismounted.

Li Chongjiu looked at the gift list, smiled slightly, he also knew the truth that the courtesy must be asked for, and said: "Your lord has a heart, if I don't accept it, it will be disrespectful, please thank your lord on my behalf." ”

Seeing Li Chongjiu accepting the gift, Kongshan was very happy at the moment, and said: "This time, I am ordered by my king, and I really have something to ask the envoy, the ambition of the Goguryeo wolf, and it is very urgent to attack my Silla. My king is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can he not be defeated by his tiger and wolf, so he has been defeated three times in a row, and even the king's Kyoto has been besieged. Therefore, I specially invited Li Yuanjun to send troops to the west to contain Goguryeo, and to help me in Silla. ”

It turned out that Kongshan did come to the Great Sui on the order of the king, but instead of looking for Li Chongjiu, he was looking for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and asked him to send troops to attack Liaodong again.

But when he came to the land and landed in Bohai County, he found that the Sui Dynasty was in chaos at this time, and the princes rose together, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was far away in Jiangdu and it was difficult to protect himself, so how could he send troops to attack Liaodong.

Therefore, Kongshan was very disappointed, and was supposed to return to Silla as a sea ship to restore his life, but at this time, it was hearsay that Li Chongjiu, the assassin of Youzhou, had conquered Goguryeo in the east, and broke his men. When the empty mountain was rekindled, he thought that since he came to the Sui Dynasty, he would have to try it anyway, so he went all the way from Bohai County to Jixian County, Zhuo County, to find Li Chongjiu.

Hearing what Kong Shan said, although the ministers were silent on their faces, they all smiled secretly in their hearts, Li Chongjiu's dispatch of troops to Goguryeo had already become a settlement, and the Silla people came to the door at this time, this is not a coincidence, I really want to send a pillow when I sleep.

In this way, of course, you have to knock him more to benefit, otherwise I will be sorry for myself.

Li Chongjiu did not agree immediately, but said that he wanted to discuss, this is also a normal process, if he agrees too quickly at once, this bamboo pole will not be easy to knock.

Hearing Li Chongjiu's ambiguous answer, Kong Shan immediately said: "These four sons are all domestic flowers, and they are specially dedicated to Li Yuanjun on the order of our king. ”

At that moment, all the ministers smiled, and even Wei Zheng couldn't help but show his intentions, seeing Li Chongjiu deal with him like this.

Kong Shan immediately said: "This time, there were originally eight Hua Lang coming, but all the way from Bohai to Zhuo County, there were many thieves, looting our goods, and under the resistance, four people died on the road, and now they are the only ones left." Please rest assured, they are all warriors who block a hundred. ”

Hearing that they were killed all the way from Bohai County, the ministers looked at these four people and suddenly looked at them differently, you must know that from Zhuo County to Bohai County, local thieves are everywhere, Luo Yi, Dou Jiande, the officials and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, local anti-thieves, and the four forces are intertwined.

It is not easy for this Silla Hualang to kill all the way, it may be an exaggeration to be a hundred, but the word warrior is definitely worthy of it.

But Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that this was Silla's Hwarang Dao. Hwarang Do sounds a little strange today, but it is said that Taekwondo in later generations originated from Hwarang Road.

Of course, Hualang Dao not only includes these, according to the records of the Three Kingdoms, the so-called Hualang is a virtuous and loyal minister, and he has been showing off since then. Good generals are brave, and they are born from the civil and military talents. Its purpose is to be loyal, filial piety, friends, no retreat, and a choice to kill, and later Japan occupied Korea, and even replaced the bushido with the Hwarang Road, and followed the local customs to brainwash the local army.

But in any case, these four can be said to be the current elite of Silla, and it seems that the king of Silla intended to send them to train under Yi Chongjiu.

Thinking that there were such warriors available, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be happy, and immediately asked the name of another monk, which turned out to be the right method number Yuan Xiao. Li Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, and asked him about his common surname, and when he said Xue, Li Chongjiu confirmed that he was a celebrity in Silla.

As we all know, modern taekwondo black belts are divided into nine dans, of which seven to nine dans are honors and are generally not awarded to people. For example, the highest rank of the black belt is called Heaven and Earth, and the eighth section of the black belt is called Danjun, which is the first ancestor of the Koreans, and the name of the sixth section of the black belt is called Yuan Xiao.

It can be seen that it has a status in the minds of today's North Koreans.

Moreover, the other party was a high monk of Silla in history, founded the Haedong sect, and the other party also married the princess of the king of Silla as his wife, and later gave birth to a son, Xue Cong, who united the Tang Dynasty for Silla, destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, and made great contributions to the liaison and communication between them.

If he hadn't heard the other party's name, Li Chongjiu would have seen who this low-key Yuanxiao monk was, and now he would have tried a few words, if it was really the person in history, Li Chongjiu knew it in his heart at the moment, and he was moved to leave the other party in his heart.

Later, Lee Chong-gu proposed to Kongshan that if he wanted Lee Chong-gu to attack Goguryeo, it was okay, but it was by no means gratuitous, and Silla needed to provide benefits to Zhuojun.

Sorayama agreed immediately, and finally the two sides reached a promise that Silla would provide three ships of bezoars and ginseng as the reward for Li Chongjiu's dispatch of troops this time, and Li Chongjiu must send more than 10,000 troops to Goguryeo at a time to contain the other party.

Li Chongjiu said yes, but he had to add one more thing, asking Silla to provide another 300 Hualang as his personal guards. Sorayama hesitated, and said that if the battle against Goguryeo could be won, he would make this request to the king of Silla.

Li Chongjiu agreed. After Kongshan and Yuan Xiao got Li Chongjiu's promise, they were very happy at the moment.

When Kongshan asked Li Chongjiu when he could send troops, Kongshan flatteringly said that he was looking forward to seeing the demeanor of Li Chongjiu's army, knowing that they had just broken through Goguryeo's Gaimu City, otherwise the Silla people would not have found Li Chongjiu.

When Sora Mountain asked very nervously, could he send troops within half a year, in case it was delayed for a long time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the king of Silla......

Hearing this question, Li Chongjiu's face was embarrassed, and only Kong Shan said very understandingly, if it doesn't work in half a year, it's okay in a year, but time can't be delayed any longer. Now Silla has been defeated by Goguryeo, and several cities have been conquered.

Seeing the pleading looks on the faces of the two, Li Chongjiu replied to them very seriously, the army was already on the way.

Kong Shan and Yuan Xiao were both surprised, and said in their hearts, this is not a lie, how can this Han person have a speed in doing things. The request that was granted only three days ago can be sent today.

Then Kong Shan and Yuan Xiao followed Li Chongjiu to the city of Jixian County, and looked at the cavalry under the city that were ready to go, and they were suddenly speechless in surprise.

Kong Shan first pointed to the city, the first row of men and horses were covered with iron armor, wearing felt shirts, with iron armor cavalry, with an iron mask, and asked with a shocked face: "Li Yuanjun, this is your people?" ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's my Armor Cavalry." ”

Kong Shan then turned his head and pointed to the armored rider who was wearing armor, holding a longbow and bow and arrows, and was behind the cavalry and asked, "Then what is?" ”

Li Chongjiu replied: "This is my war horse, called the Troika. ”

Seeing that Li Chongjiu's cavalry was well-equipped, Sora Shan couldn't help but secretly speak, even the royal forest army of the Silla royal family was not so equipped.

"And what is this?"

"The Wansheng Army, composed of the strong children of all ethnic groups in the grassland, is good at riding and shooting on horses, and can also fight to the death."

"And what is this?"

"It is a Xi tribe ranger on the grassland, there are 5,000 horses, one person and two bows, each of them is superb in archery."

"And this?"

"Well, it's me Shanggu, the Han army soldiers in the two counties of Zhuo County, all equipped with strong crossbows and hard bows, Mo knives, and there are 5,000 people."

Kongshan was speechless, and the flowers on the side also widened their eyes. In fact, Li Chongjiu paraded here, and also had the meaning of declaring the army and showing off his martial arts, telling the Silla people that his own strength was very strong.

After that, there was Ding Lingjun, as well as the infantry of Tudiji, Kong Shan didn't expect that Li Chongjiu would gather so many tribesmen's soldiers and horses, what kind of prestige was needed. In the end, Kong Shan made a rough estimate, and there were actually 20,000 troops under this Jixian County, which was far beyond his expectations.

"And what is this?"

"This is my ......"

"No, I'm talking about why everyone under the command of the king carries a sack?"

As soon as these words came out, the generals, including Li Chongjiu, all turned red.

"What is it...... Oh, with all due respect. ”

Looking at Kongshan's speculative appearance, Li Chongjiu couldn't tell the other party that this expedition to Goguryeo was actually robbing money and grain, and as for the soldiers, everyone was carrying sacks, which was of course for the purpose of loading grain. (To be continued.) )
