The commander of the three armies of the Yamato Kingdom, who was in charge of Seiharakyo Kyo, was the decisive figure who supported the killing of the emperor by Suwen of the Yuan Gai and represented his brother Soga Ezo to promote the unification of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. △¢Top Novel,

Su Icang Maro was not in a hurry in the face of the current situation, and was content to drink tea in the palace of Xiyuan Jing, and played Go with his henchman Hu Ren.

Go was a game that was introduced to their Yamato through Korea during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and this kind of game that tested IQ swept the entire upper class society of Yamato and became the basis of the communication of the upper class people of Yamato. People who can't play Go will be despised by the upper class.

The Soga clan and the Jushi clan are both powerful clans in the Asuka era of Yamato Province, and they have been allied with each other for decades. Especially Su Icang, Malu, and Jushi Hu people, they are of the same age, and they grew up together, and they are like brothers.

Su Icang Malu's chess style is chic and unrestrained, unrestrained, wide open and closed, and extremely aggressive. Jushi Hu Ren is relatively calm, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but they can keenly grasp the weaknesses of the opponent and take the initiative to attack at critical times. The two have been friends for many years, and they can be described as opponents in Go.

They are full of chess pieces, but the gap between them is one or two words.

Jushi Hu Ren held the sunspot, landed steadily on the chessboard, and chuckled: "Tang General Luo Shixin doesn't seem to have the intention of storming Pyongyang. ”

Su Icang Maru had a beard on his face, his shrewd gaze fell on the chessboard, and he responded: "Luo Shixin is famous, and it is really not easy to deal with. He was not quick to make a move, but he had a thousand tricks and blinded Goguryeo. This is a head-on hit, but it can't be beaten. The intrigue is not as good as his play, and it is really a strong enemy that is a headache. Even we can't imagine that the invincible Haidong Qianghao simply let Tang Jun clean it up. There was a pause. He asked, "What do you think Tang Jun should do next?" ”

Jushi Hu Ren said without hesitation: "Needless to say, it is nothing more than two choices to storm Pyongyang." Divide our forces and unite with Silla to drive us out of Haedong, and then destroy Baekje. In the current situation, Rothson should choose the latter. The reason why I am standing still now is that I am waiting for Silla's request for help, just like us. ”

When Su I Cangmaro heard the last sentence, he smiled knowingly, their alliance with Goguryeo is heaven and earth, but Goguryeo is no longer qualified to be an ally with them. This attribution of interests inevitably changed.

"Your Excellency. Goguryeo's envoy Yuan Pure Land came to ask for a meeting! ”

When the two were discussing, they got the news that the Pure Land of the Yuan asked to meet.

Su I Cangmaru looked at his friend and said, "It's finally here, are we going to win or lose, or?" ”

"Let's meet you!" Jushi Hu Ren smiled lightly: "Yuan Pure Land is the younger brother of Yuan Gai Suwen, and he has a certain status. There is no need for us to provoke Yuan Gai Suwen at this time, lest there be any extraneous complications. forced him to be cornered, and directly surrendered Luo Shixin. ”

Su Icang Malu asked people to remove the chessboard and ordered someone to invite the Yuan Pure Land into the main hall.

"Goguryeo Yuan Pure Land, I've seen Lord Neichen!" The Pure Land of the Abyss bows to the end with the highest courtesy. That's how cruel politics is. Also as the younger brother of the minister, the original status of the Pure Land was equal to that of Sogakura Maro, but now the Pure Land of the Yen Pure Land had to show favor to Sogakura Maro with the most solemn courtesy.

Su Icang Malu smiled and saluted, and left the position to help the Yuan Pure Land up and said, "The doctor's envoy doesn't need to be polite. You and I brothers, don't say such polite words. As he spoke, his brows furrowed together, and he pulled the Pure Land of Yuan to inquire about the situation in Goguryeo. said with a sad face: "I didn't expect Luo Shixin to be so powerful, and I couldn't imagine that Jin Yuxin was so difficult to deal with." His Hualang Dao has caused great casualties to our side. I was forced to rest here. ”

Hwarang-do refers to the ancient Korean martial arts in later generations, but in this era, Hwarang-do was an elite army. An elite army of Silla created by Kim Yushin, the first general of Silla.

Yuan Pure Land also sighed: "The plan is far less than the change, and my brother also thinks that our fantasy was too good. So that today's defeat is complete, and the Tang Dynasty and Silla are far more powerful than we imagined. He is now full of remorse, he should not be so hasty to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, let alone covet Silla Mingzhou and plunge Goguryeo into a state of no return. The elder brother has decided to give up Mingzhou, whether it is Baekje or Yamato, whoever captures Mingzhou will be owned by whoever owns Mingzhou. Now that Goguryeo is in a situation of life and death, whoever can save me from Goguryeo and water and fire, Goguryeo will definitely regard him as a hero and cede the land in the upper reaches of the Han River basin. ”

Su I Cang Ma Lu and Jushi Hu people glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and they didn't expect that at this time, Goguryeo was willing to break the wrist of a strong man and cede the Han River Valley.

You must know that the three countries of Haidong are remote and poor, and the only fertile soil is the Han River basin. For the ownership of the Han River basin, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla fought with each other for hundreds of years. Now that the Han River valley has been ceded, it is really a great determination.

Yuan Pure Land continued: "If such a situation continues to be so bad, I, Goguryeo, am afraid that I will not be able to support it anymore. For the sake of my people in Goguryeo, my brother can only bear you. He was ashamed to pray.

Su Icang Malu and Jushi Hu are all smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of the words of the Yuan Pure Land.

Goguryeo really crippled Luo Shixin, and this thing fell into the ground, at this critical moment. Both sides were able to understand, and Goguryeo also made concessions. But if you get an inch, don't blame them for jumping over the wall in a hurry and surrendering to Luo Shixin.

As long as the Tang Dynasty did not destroy Goguryeo, they would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Goguryeo, and once Goguryeo was destroyed, even if they destroyed Silla and seized all the lands of Silla, they would not be able to sleep well. Even if Goguryeo was no longer qualified to conspire with them, it could not let him perish.

Su I Cangmalu said without hesitation: "The words of the doctor's envoy are too foreign, we are allies of each other, and in the words of the Han people, we are dependent on each other. We will not sit idly by and watch you fall into a desperate situation, but go back and tell your brother. From tomorrow, I will attack Silla regardless of casualties. If Datang divides troops to rescue, it will reduce the pressure on you. If the Tang Dynasty does not come, I will join forces with Baekje and go north to compete with Luo Shixin. ”

The Yuan Pure Land bowed down again and said movingly: "I am grateful! ”

Seeing the Yuan Pure Land leave, Su Icang Malu sighed, "It seems that our most perfect plan cannot be realized. ”

Jushi Hu Ren smiled and said: "It's okay, let the Tang army destroy Goguryeo, we are cutting off its back road, so as to completely annihilate the Tang army, take over Goguryeo, and support the puppets." This trick really kills birds with one stone, but it is too much to take for granted. Too much appetite is not necessarily a good thing. If you want to swallow Silla and Goguryeo, there is still a certain degree of difficulty. Swallow Silla first and gain a firm foothold in this Haidong. Goguryeo's own strength is not enough to defend its country, as long as we provoke it, Goguryeo will fall into internal and external troubles, and it will still be owned by our army. I've always felt that it's better to nibble on it than to eat it. ”

Su Icang Malu didn't argue meaninglessly with him at the moment, just glanced at the southwest direction and said, "Now it's up to my brother to convince that Zhang Zhongjian from Seventy-two Islands...... It's not that I destroy my own prestige, I don't think we can really hold out for long against the Tang Army. Luo Shixin's attack is too terrifying, and I really don't want to face an opponent like him unless I take advantage of his weaknesses. ”

Jushi Hu Ren also nodded with palpitations, and said, "This person has a straightforward personality and has a great prejudice against my Sunrise Country. My country has fallen into the current Jedi because of me and the literati named Wei Zheng. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have arrived at this time to risk our national fortunes. This person must not be left ......"

Su I Cangmalu's eyes were also murderous, his head was in agreement, and he paused: "At the moment, we can't care about so much, we can only trust my brother's methods." You give the order to go down and march to Mingzhou immediately. Tell Baekje casually and let him assist us in our attack. ”

With the order of Soga Kuro Maro, Yamato's 60,000 troops attacking Silla this time poured into Mingju, and Baekje, as a vassal state of Yamato, also dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses to command Yamato at this time.

90,000 soldiers and horses swarmed up, and the stalemate was broken on the spot.

As the first general of Silla, Jin Yuxin's power and intelligence are only better than those of Su Icang Malu and the Jushi Hu people, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the absolute superiority in military strength will be difficult to recover with strategy and tactics for a while. Unless the enemy's intelligence is negative, it is possible to ignore the superiority in forces. Yamato is betting on a tough battle, and their commander is naturally the hero of Yamato.

Su I Cang Malu and Jushi Hu people borrowed the advantage of military strength and blossomed on both sides, so that Jin Yuxin could not fight the fire left and right, and could only retreat one after another, and the situation was critical.

**********

Under the city of Pyongyang.

The changes in the Yamato Kingdom and Baekje and the crisis in Silla spread all kinds of news like snowflakes to the hands of Luo Shixin.

The lack of news about Silla and Baekje was the biggest problem that Luo Shixin faced when he came to Pyongyang, and as soon as he realized this situation, he immediately arranged for Zuo Tiancheng, Yi Yuncong and others to expand their intelligence network in Goguryeo to Silla Baekje to make up for his own shortcomings.

In such a short period of time, the intelligence network is not enough to find out any urgent and confidential matters, but it is still impossible to conceal the intelligence personnel from such a great trend in the war.

Luo Shixin looked at the information in his hand and asked Liu Renji: "You say, how long can they support Silla......?"

"I guess I'm already on my way to ask for help!" Liu Ren track: "In order not to owe favors, for the sake of their own interests, they do not ask us for help, which leads to their own destruction." Silla will not be foolish, since then, it is impossible for them not to ask us for help......" Before his words could be heard, Luo Shixin received the news that the Silla envoy had asked to see him.
