Luo Shixin arranged for the chief manager of Zhulu to return to the court, called Liu Renliang, and asked him to inform the king of Silla, Jin Baijing, to prepare for departure: when he left, he stopped him again and said: "Dingfang and His Royal Highness the King of the County are impeccable in military strategy, but there are many things in politics that they have little contact with, and the other, as a prince, does not understand them thoroughly. As for the matter of the Silla allies, after I leave, you will need to weigh the relationship. ”

Liu Renliang said: "Renliang has a heavy manager, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he will not dare to slack off." In the matter of Silla, Injo will be cautious everywhere. No matter when I will not fall into the power of the Tang Dynasty, let alone fall into the mouth. ”

Luo Shixin nodded reassuringly and let Liu Renliang go.

However, the ownership of the Haedong Peninsula is the key to the overall situation, and with Silla's current relationship with the Tang Dynasty, if Silla gets most of the Haedong Peninsula, it will become a second Goguryeo, or even more difficult than Goguryeo. Because Datang is currently getting along with Silla too well, Datang has no reason to be an enemy of Silla, while Silla can absorb the cultural knowledge of Datang to the fullest, and gradually grow to become a giant standing on the Haidong Peninsula.

There are no eternal allies in the world, only eternal interests.

No matter how Silla and Datang are blending, there will be a day when they go against each other.

The Haidong Peninsula is located in the northeast of China. Located in the rear of the Tang Dynasty, which developed to the west. Once Silla goes against the Tang Dynasty, it will threaten the rear of the Tang Dynasty. Historically, Yang Jian and Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo was not without reason. If we want to develop to the West, we must have a stable rear. So think in the long run. The Tang Dynasty must have seized major control of the Haidong Peninsula.

Of course, the direct destruction of Silla is a matter of once and for all, but the things of the world are not arbitrary. Although the winner is king, and history is recorded by the winner, even the winner has to abide by certain rules of the game. Silla was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's defense against Yamato Baekje. If Datang turns around and cleans up Silla, with the example of Silla, Datang will not want to make any international allies in the world in the future.

If this Datang wants to become a real power, the real first, it is not possible to rest on its laurels. It is necessary to go out of the world. In addition to strength, this out of the world also needs a little bit of credibility. After all, exchanges between countries, in addition to war, trade, mutual assistance and a series of diplomacy, no one wants to have an ally who stabs in the back.

Therefore, it is difficult to deal with this matter of Silla......

For the sake of the interests of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Shixin also had to give Silla a trap with his conscience. In view of Silla's contribution to the Tang Dynasty's pacification of Haedong, Roshi Shin returned Silla's Yangju, Kangju, and Sangju, which had been occupied by Yamato and Baekje, to Silla, and gave Silla the opportunity to conquer Baekje and seize Baekje territory. On the surface, it seems that it is benevolent and righteous, but in fact, with the help of the hands of Yamato, the last strength of Silla was weakened.

With the soldiers and horses that Silla now has in his hands. Self-protection is not enough, you need to rely on the blessing of Datang, and it is impossible to compete with Datang for territory.

The biggest winner of this battle was naturally the Tang Dynasty, and Silla suffered heavy losses, although not an inch of land was lost, not an inch of land was gained, which can be regarded as miserable......

The human heart is unpredictable. Luo Shixin was now uncertain whether Silla was complaining and dissatisfied, so he specially instructed Liu Renliang to pay more attention and deal with it properly.

It took three days to prepare. Luo Shixin ordered the class teacher.

The Triumphant Division entered the Youzhou Realm and was immediately greeted by the cheers of the people...... The biggest reason for the sharp population decline at the end of the Sui Dynasty was the Grand Canal and the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo. Among them, Youzhou is the general headquarters of the first front, and the original situation is even more filial piety. The crying was incessant, and it was unbearable. Now Luo Shixin led a large army to destroy Jingguan. The destruction of Goguryeo was ashamed and hated for them, and every family was grateful. It was also here that he got the news and situation of the victory of his mentor Li Jingxi's Western Route Army, and of course he also heard about Hou Junji's performance.

Luo Shixin has no unusual emotions about this, everything is taken for granted. Needless to say, Li Jing's military ability, Sun Wu, Han Xin, and other sage-level figures. As for Hou Junji, aside from his little prejudices, this person's military level is still very remarkable. It is no surprise that this is possible.

When the army left Youzhou, Luo Shixin was received by officials of the Ministry of Rites and asked him to march to join Li Jing on the West Road.

The two armies of the East Road and the West Road, Luo Shixin wanted to prepare the ships and boats of the navy, and Li Jing set out in January, and in January after Li Jing and their final victory, Luo Shixin also succeeded. The time they consume is almost identical. This order is not much different, for the sake of convenience and to save expenses, the court decided to celebrate the two armies together.

It was the special dispatch of officials from the Ministry of Rites to slow down Li Jing's side, and Luo Shixin to speed up the march so that it would coincide with the meeting of his divisions.

It can also be seen that Datang's current economy has indeed been greatly affected by the two-front operation. The imperial court tried every means to save money in order to maintain the country's economic function.

In this regard, Luo Shixin also showed great cooperation, and the country's money savings are one point, and there is no need to worry about it.

Li Jing and Luo Shixin are both contemporary famous generals, and leading the march is the basis of the unified army, and both of them control it like fire and innocence. Within the agreed time, a quarter of an hour will meet with the south gate of Chang'an City.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and rode side by side to the outskirts of Chang'an.

Hou Junji, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, Gao Yongsheng, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Zhenzhou, Cheng Mingzhen and other senior generals were placed behind.

When you come to the outskirts of Chang'an, you can see from afar, and the flags are all over the field, and the scale is grand. The official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the contact said: "Your Majesty is waiting for your triumph ahead. ”

Li Jing, Luo Shixin and the generals behind him were moved one after another. The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not tell them this in advance, and they were all extremely shocked: this king personally went out of the outskirts of the city to greet the triumphant heroes, which was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even in the past, Li Shimin captured the two kings in a battle, and he did not have such glory when he arrived in the Central Plains.

They hurriedly dismounted and walked on foot. Let the soldiers and horses behind him stop, and dozens of generals stepped forward together.

Come closer. Li Shimin is leading hundreds of civil and military officials to usher in it head-on.

I haven't seen him for a long time, although the Tang Emperor is in good spirits. He has lost a lot of weight compared to the past: compared to Luo Shixin and others who fought on the front line, the pressure on him, the emperor, is not small.

Li Jing and Luo Shixin led the generals forward to salute:

"Li Jing ......"

"Rothson ......"

"Bring all the generals under your command to meet Your Majesty......"

Li Shimin stepped forward quickly and helped Li Jing up and said: "Aiqing Dingjing Yang in the south, Shasai in the north, and the southern wilderness in the west, all the battles are invincible, so that my Tang Emperor is far away, and there is no generation in ancient times, how can the ancient Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo be able to catch up!" ”

Li Jing hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Then Li Shimin helped Luo Shixin up, supported his shoulders with both hands and said, "I am less than thirty years old." Thousands of miles of expeditions, destroying the Three Kingdoms and capturing the three kings, doing things that others can't imagine, and taking the road that others haven't walked. I don't even know how to praise you, but I only have a sentence of great luck. ”

Luo Shixin also said: "Your Majesty praises falsely! ”

Li Shimin pulled Li Jing and Luo Shixin and said loudly to the generals behind them: "You have worked hard for me to resist the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty and raise the prestige of our country." On behalf of Datang and all the people of Datang, I congratulate you on your victory. ”

It is customary to welcome the victorious division. It's a convention, even if Luo Shixin is like an arrow, he can only patiently go through this formality.

Li Shimin was obviously well prepared, and he said all kinds of passionate words with ease, which brought the atmosphere up.

When I was going to turn back to Chang'an. Li Shimin took Li Jing and Luo Shixin's hands respectively and said: "The two chief managers got into the car with me and accepted the cheers of the people......"

said that without waiting for Li Jing and Luo Shixin to refuse, he pulled them into his luanyu. One sat beside him and one on the right, and entered the city with the guard of honor.

At the moment of entering Chang'an City. Luo Shixin saw his wife and children on the city tower......

entered the palace and sacrificed to heaven and earth. Sacrifice the prisoner of the temple, and reward the meritorious deeds......

Li Jing has made outstanding achievements, and this time he has made such great achievements, there is no doubt that he has made further progress, becoming the first person to enter the prime minister, and the official worships Shangshu and shoots the right servant, ranking as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

The same is true of Luo Shixin, his original auxiliary general was promoted again, and he was officially named the hussar general, and the secretary of the criminal department was also promoted to the secretary of the military department, and he was in charge of all affairs.

After this battle, the Tang Dynasty shook the world, and the surrounding foreign tribes followed the actions of the Northland tribes, respected Li Shimin as the Khan of the Heavens, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

With the power of this battle, the Tang Dynasty almost effortlessly controlled the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was unimpeded.

Although the two-front battle shook the economic vitality of Datang, it also hurt the muscles and bones.

In the next five years, Datang did not use a single soldier, but the power of Datang has been fully enriched, fighting rice for four or five dollars, those who are not closed to foreign households for several months, horses and cattle are wild, people travel dozens of miles without food, people and goods are interested, and millions of people are subjugated by the four people, and the world is under great rule.

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Luo Shixin has the best experience, and now the Tang Dynasty has changed the weapons in the hands of the soldiers to all steel because of the popularization of the new steel-making method, and the firearms have gradually mastered, and the military horses have exceeded one million, and the military strength is so strong that only the Western food country can fight in the world......

After Li Jing became the prime minister, he was full of fear and retreated contentedly, although he did not fade out of sight, but he did things to protect himself.

Luo Shixin is just the opposite, he doesn't think about official titles and titles, he still mixes in the court, acts according to his temperament, and has something to say. At the same time, he is not greedy for power, does not value power, does not take power to heart, although he is a secretary of the military department, he has never touched the military power, only promotes useful people, and does not cultivate henchmen. Because of this, he has great merit, but he is still a monarch and minister.

The emergence of Luo Shixin promoted the course of history and allowed Datang to stand in the world decades ahead of schedule......

Because of his appearance, a new chapter has been opened in history......

The future of Datang is also full of infinite possibilities......
