Chapter 1221: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

As the Tang army swept through Goguryeo, the 30,000 Wa people stationed on the border between Silla and Goguryeo gradually became restless.

After capturing the Goguryeo lord Quan Nanjian alive, Li Tao ordered 30,000 Japanese people to move to the defense.

The Japanese themselves have little combat power, especially after leaving the Japanese island, the 30,000 Japanese are closely guarded, almost slave-like existence, and their combat power is even more in a mess.

Li Qinzai's purpose in taking them away from Wadao was not to let them charge, and he knew that he couldn't count on them at all.

However, the Japanese people can't fight wars, but they are still barely qualified to create incidents.

Yi Tao moved 30,000 Japanese to the border of Silla in order to create trouble.

As a result, after the Tang army swept away Goguryeo and the Japanese moved to the Silla border, Li Tao deliberately underallocated a part of the grain and grass, and the 30,000 Japanese people were already a little ready to move under the panic psychology of lack of food.

After instructing several Japanese generals, under the instigation of the generals, intentionally or unintentionally, there was an incident in which a small number of Japanese people gathered into the Silla border to plunder.

At first, it was only thirty or fifty people who entered the country to loot, and the robbery was relatively civilized, and after entering the villages in Silla, they basically did not take the initiative to hurt people, and ran away after grabbing food, like a group of thieves without courage.

Later, when they returned to the camp, they found that the generals had not punished them, and not only that, but the generals were happier than them in eating the looted food.

This undoubtedly contributed to the predatory atmosphere of the Japanese people and the gradual strengthening of their courage.

Since the generals don't pursue it, what else is polite?

The Wa Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom have been feuding for a hundred years, and the two countries have been facing each other across the sea and fighting each other for many years, and they have long been enemies who have not shared the sky.

Snatching the enemy's food is no pressure on the Japanese people.

Things evolved gradually, and the looting of small armies gradually evolved into the looting of hundreds or thousands of men.

Li Tao's impetus also played a role, he ordered the Japanese people to cut off the grain and grass for ten days, and the grain superintendent's explanation to the Japanese camp was that the Goguryeo heavy snow closed the road, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the grain and grass were difficult to reach.

At the same time, 10,000 Tang troops were ordered to move their defenses and hold firearms in the rear of the Japanese battalion.

The people of the Japanese camp became more and more panicked, but the Tang army was eyeing behind them, and they did not dare to mutiny, so the essence of the Japanese people bullying the weak and fearing the hard was vividly expressed.

We can't beat the Tang Army, and we can't beat Silla Konishihachi?

Under the command of the Japanese generals, the Japanese people went out of the camp in units of 1,000 people and entered the Silla border to loot grain and grass.

This time, the looting of the Japanese people was not so civilized, not only robbing, but also killing people.

The people living in the Silla border were unlucky, and the Japanese people burned and looted after entering the country, and the villagers of Silla resisted, while the murderous Japanese people became more and more perverted, and the more you resisted, the more excited I became, so there was an incident of the Japanese people slaughtering the village.

After robbing a village, the whole village, from the villagers to the livestock, there is not a single one who can breathe, and there is no grass where the Japanese people pass.

In less than a month, countless villagers on the Silla border have been slaughtered.

The Japanese people got more and more sweetness, and they became more and more emboldened, and later began to attack the castles of Silla and seize the official positions of the castles.

This is unbearable, Silla is small, but the people are inexplicably arrogant, how can they allow the Japanese to enter the country and be presumptuous.

The lord of the country, Jin Famin, handed a letter to Li Tao, asking the general manager of the Tang Dynasty to uphold justice, and at the same time mobilize the army to rush to the border to fight with the Japanese people at the border.

If you want to say that the combat strength of the armies of the two countries is actually half a catty and eight taels, otherwise they would not have fought for hundreds of years without conquering each other.

Small-scale looting has developed from a small friction into a national war between the two countries.

The Silla government and the opposition were completely outraged, and the actions of the Japanese people were not just provocations, but to destroy their country.

Kim Famin mobilized 20,000 Silla troops to confront and fight against 30,000 Japanese people on the border.

The strange thing is that whether it is the Wa Kingdom or Silla, they all do their best when they fight each other, and when they meet on the battlefield, they are all fatal fights, but they are all respectful to the Tang army and dare not disobey the slightest.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Li Tao finally sent someone to speak.

Pang Tongshan, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Provincial March, was sent to the border between the two countries to mediate the dispute between the Japanese and Silla.

In his letter, Li Tao emphasized that the Tang Dynasty was a peace-loving country and a suzerain, and would never allow two vassal states to kill each other.

This time, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Road march was sent out to mediate the war, which shows that Datang attaches great importance to the border friction incident between the two countries, and you had better be obedient.

After the destruction of the country, and the powerful Tang army in Goguryeo, the Wa Kingdom and Silla immediately became honest, and at the same time respectfully expressed their willingness to accept the mediation of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tao's military report ended here, and when the letter was sent, Pang Tongshan had just left from the Tang army camp.

Li Qinzai carefully read the military newspaper several more times, and then showed a satisfied smile.

Things are being realized step by step according to the plans of the grandparents and grandchildren.

If Silla really thinks that Pang Tongshan is going to mediate the war, it will be a bit naïve.

After the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo, it had begun to sharpen its swords against Silla, and now what was lacking was a justifiable reason to send troops.

I believe that Pang Tongshan will find this reason.

There is now only one Silla left in the Haidong Peninsula that has not yet been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is not good, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder can't stand it, and Li Zhi and Li Qinzai can't stand it.

The military newspaper is not a success, but in Li Qinzai's view, it is more exciting than the military report.

The last piece of the puzzle on the Haidong Peninsula, Datang is unhurriedly painting his favorite colors.

…………

The military newspaper was divided into two parts, one was sent to the Taiji Palace, and the other was written by Li Tao to Li Qinzai privately.

At the same time that Li Qinzai saw the military report, Li Zhi in the Taiji Palace naturally saw it.

Needless to say, of course, it was Longyan Dayue, and about the Haidong strategy, it was Li Zhi, Li Qinzai and several important ministers in the DPRK and China who secretly discussed it together.

Now that the situation on the Haidong Peninsula is developing towards the set goal, Li Tao is worthy of the meritorious service of the Three Dynasties, especially in the conquest is more experienced.

In the afternoon, several carriages came out of the Taiji Palace, loaded with all kinds of silk and porcelain, wine and delicacies, and the carriages were escorted by the guards and drove to the gate of the British Mansion and stopped.

These are all things that Li Zhi rewarded, the reason is to reward the British public for meritorious service, of course, I won't say what the specific merit is, the matter of sending troops to Silla is still a high secret of the Tang Dynasty, and few people know.

Li Siwen accepted Li Zhi's reward on behalf of the Guogong Mansion, and the palace people suddenly came to Li Qinzai before leaving, and respectfully handed over a small brocade box.

Li Qinzai opened the brocade box, and there was a new Kaiyuan Tongbao lying quietly inside.

Consistent money, no more, no less.

Li Qinzai suddenly understood, and accepted the money with a smile.
