Section 52: Wei Zheng admits his mistakes

Zhang Jian put down the seal in his hand, looked at the Silla envoy with a blank face, and said, "Are you sure you didn't write the wrong seal?" Has Queen Seondeok gone insane? When she imitated Lu Xiang to write this "Book of the Absolute Tang Dynasty", you didn't stop it? This is the first time I've seen Seondeok write on paper, didn't she use embroidery before? โ€

"We can't stand the oppression of the Tang people, we are fed up with the unreasonableness of the Tang people, and if we continue like this, we can only follow in the footsteps of Goryeo, general, not only us, but the Baekje envoys you will summon later have the same demands as us."

The Silla envoy puffed up his chest, and this was also the first time he puffed up his chest in front of the Tang people as an envoy.

"Return Pyongyang, Preshui, Nihe, Nampo, Domestic, Hmm, and Bo Cheng City, I will retreat to the north of Yalu Water with the army, Da Mao Rong, are you sure your queen is not crazy?"

Da Mao Rong learned from those legendary celebrities to shake their robes, and sat on the chair and said to Zhang Jian: "The Tang Emperor is not bad and kind, despises our late monarch, despises our queen, a peony picture makes my emperor never mention marriage for ten years, intrudes on our Yang Tongshan, ignores our country's friendship, attacks our castle, exterminates our country, divides the relationship between our brother countries, disturbs our allies, and subverts our country." Our empress did not forget the past merits of the Tang Emperor, but she was afraid of the destruction of the country, so she endured it again and again, not only did not blame the Tang Dynasty, but offered rich gifts, hoping that the Tang Emperor could give us a hope to continue to live for the sake of our obedience.

But this qiฤ“ did not pay off, the general's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and your army, after garrisoning the mud river, regards my Silla as your own backyard, and you can come and go as you want. Why did the Tang people order the recruitment of laborers in my Silla and enslave our people to repair the fortress for the generals?

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Liang Poqu, the envoy of your Tang Kingdom, actually defined the territory for my emperor on top of my emperor's palace, and advanced an inch to the east, and a hundred miles of rivers and mountains were gone......"

Zhang Jian waved his hand impatiently and said, "You plan to rebel, right?" Just give me a clear answer. โ€

"We are not rebelling. We just want to get our land back, and the Tang people must retreat from the Yalu water......"

"Come on, pull Da Maorong out and cut it down." Zhang Jian closed his seal and gave an order to his personal guards.

"I'm an envoy, the two armies don't fight each other, you can't ......" Da Mao Rong can no longer maintain the demeanor of a celebrity.

"You're committing a crime." Zhang Jian replied at the moment when Da Zuorong was dragged out of the door.

The trembling Baekje envoy was brought up, and at a glance he saw Da Maorong's head on a plate, and Zhang Jian, who was sitting behind the case, hit Da Maorong's head with an arrow and said to the Baekje envoy: "I got the military report three days ago. The 110,000 Baekje army entered Silla, and now the armies of your two countries should have launched an attack on Wonsan, right?

Since you have already provoked the war, why do you still come to negotiate with me Datang? Are you humiliating me Zhang Jian? "We just want a guarantee, a guarantee that we can live with peace of mind." Although the Baekje envoy was pale, he insisted on saying his words.

Zhang Jian asked thoughtfully: "Do you think that as long as we retreat to the north of Yalu Water, you can live comfortably?" "Naturally, no, you still need a covenant to bind it."

Zhang Jian laughed and pointed to the Baekje envoy and said, "My Majesty has just concluded the White Horse Alliance with Jieli, and in the third year, the Turks were completely defeated. Jieli still dances for a living in Chang'an, are you sure that's all you want?

Don't lie to yourself. Don't lie to me, from the moment you start to do it, we have no possibility of negotiation at all, haha, the world is difficult through the ages, and the only battle is it. It's not a big deal, go back, tell your king, that since the war has begun, don't stop. โ€

Baekje messenger wolf bรจi out of the lobby. Leaving Pyongyang in a hurry, Zhang Jian's answer frightened him, and the Tang people were still as tough as ever, perhaps they never knew what fear was.

Zhang Jian beat the drum of the generals, and after the military affairs were assigned, he ordered someone to light the wolf smoke, and there was a police at the border, which was a procedure that had to be followed, since the surrender of the Koreans, this is the border.

After studying the news delivered by the wolf smoke, he finally understood why the quail-like Silla and Baekje people had the courage to submit a war letter to him.

"200,000 people want to eat Lao Tzu's army of 50,000? Queen Seondeok, you also think too highly of yourself. Zhang Jian smiled and muttered to the deputy general, then picked up the long sword on the sword base, and prepared to go to see the city defense.

Wolf smoke is really the fastest way to deliver news, in two days, the Chang'an beacon tower is full of wolf smoke, almost the sky is soaked in burnt yellow, southeast and northwest at the same time, this is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty fully opened the preparations for the war, just like the emperor said, people have called, what else is there to say, just to fight, Li Jing went to Yumen Pass, Li Ji went to the grassland of Guanneidao, Cheng Yanjin went to Songzhou, Niu Jinda went to Yingzhou, Li Daozong was in Nanzhao and also received the order to stick to Yaozhou and Mengshe Prefecture and Langqiong Prefecture. Feng Ang once again assumed the post of the chief of the Lingnan Road march, actively preparing for the defense of the Lingnan coast, and once the Lingnan naval division failed, he had to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting Lingnan.

After all the preparations that should be made were done, Li Er looked at the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him and couldn't stop thinking, after carefully weighing all the power comparisons, it was already sunset, and the last heavy punch hit Gao Chang's position, sighed and said to the eldest grandson who had been guarding his side: "The rest of the people don't have to worry, the army can naturally be leveled, even if there are a little twists and turns, it doesn't matter, only Gaochang is too dangerous, as long as the Turks break through Gaochang, they can enter the grassland along the stained mouth to the east, and they can directly knock on the pass to the south, The Tubo people have become very determined this time, judging from the news from Xu Jingzong, it is already a sure thing that they will leave Heishi Mountain.

Guo Xiaoke is far away in Qiuci, Xu Jingzong has less than 8,000 men, and can only stick to the chaotic stone city, unable to stop the Turks from advancing eastward, but fortunately, Su Dingfang has already made some preparations in Shazhou and Yumen Pass, hoping that there will be no mistakes here. "Yun Ye is in Gaochang, I don't know if his camel city has been completed, otherwise in the face of the impact of hundreds of thousands of Hu people, the battle line he defended is too long, and there will definitely be big trouble." "At this time, personal life and death are no longer important, and now Du Ruhui is also trapped in the North Garden, which seems to be a good thing. With him, Yun Ye's confidence can be sufficient, let go and win or lose. โ€œ

Li Er threw down the bamboo pole in his hand, returned to his seat and picked up the teapot to drink tea, he himself was killed from thousands of troops, so he looked at life and death on the military formation very lightly, it is difficult for the general to say that he will have a thorough life, what he does is the business of killing, only you are allowed to kill, not to kill you? There is no reason for this, even if he values Yun Ye again, he will definitely not replace him at this time, once he does this, if Yun Ye wants to gain a foothold in the court in the future, he can only dream, and he has not passed the test of life and death, how to take on the big responsibility.

The chess pieces have been settled, all that remains is to see the outcome of the battle, if this battle is won, Datang can really be regarded as the unparalleled overlord.

"Qi Yu Majesty, Wei Zheng Suzaku asks to see him in front of the door." Duan Hong walked into the Taiji Palace and reported to Li Eryu.

Li Er bared his teeth and smiled at the eldest grandson: "The old guy is here to laugh at me, guess what he will say this time?" Will it be said that I am a tyrant and have been besieged by the whole world? The whole world is attacking Tang, some of the old guys have said it. โ€

The eldest grandson frowned and said: "Your Majesty, don't see him at this time, if you are angry again, the day will collapse, and you can't let these boring comments affect Your Majesty's mind at a critical time." โ€

Li Er shook his head indifferently and said, "Since what happened last time, I have found that my mind has become much broader, and no matter how iron-toothed he Wei Zheng is, it is difficult to shake my mind by half a point. See you here. It's good to listen to his nonsense, I am indeed a little tired today, and listening to him is also a kind of rest. โ€

Seeing that Li Er had already made up his mind, the eldest grandson retreated behind the curtain, ready to come out at any time to rebuke Wei Zheng.

After a while, Wei Zheng, who was wearing a soap robe, appeared at the gate of Taiji Palace, automatically untied the instrument knife, and put it on the plate held by Duan Hong, Li Er's voice came out of the palace: "That's your last glory, don't untie it, come in, I want to hear what you have to say today." โ€

Wei Zheng entered the main hall and automatically signed up to meet Li Er: "City Gate Lang Wei Zheng to meet my emperor!" May the Holy Communion be blessed with our Emperor. โ€

"You're welcome, it's already a big fate to not be angry with you, what do you have to report, let's talk about it now, it won't be the little things that happened on your city gate." Li Er's body didn't move, and he took another sip of tea and waited for Wei Zheng to start.

"Your Majesty is fallaous, Chengmen Lang is also an official position personally elected by His Majesty, since the official position has been established, it means that it is very necessary, no matter how big or small it is official business, how can His Majesty not ask about it because of small things." Wei Zheng asked rhetorically with a frown.

Li Er pounded his head and said to Wei Zheng: "Okay, since I have already met with you, then you can tell me about the matter on your city gate, who did you blackmail today?" I heard that you are proud of your tenure and even your body has become healthy, which shows that I still know how to make good use of others. โ€

"Weichen came today, it is true that he did not say what happened on the city gate, the minister came today to confess his mistake to His Majesty, and prepare to reinstate the official and go to Shandong to serve as an observer." Wei Zheng said this sentence with confidence.

"What? You're going to apologize and admit your mistakes? Li Erteng stood up and reconfirmed it to see if he had heard it wrong. (To be continued......)
