Chapter 1247: Severance of diplomatic relations and declaration of war

There is a fact that has to be admitted, that is, after the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi experienced the battle of the Eastern Crusade, even though the morale of the soldiers was not lost, they were physically and psychologically exhausted.

In the next battle to destroy Silla, the combat power of the Tang army soldiers may decline.

Therefore, Li Qinzai believes that 30,000 Japanese people should be allowed to be at the front, and there is another explanation for the "forward", that is, cannon fodder.

Using the vital strength of the Japanese people to consume the vital strength of the Silla army, the officers and men of the Tang army followed behind to pick up ready-made ones, which could not only wait for work at leisure, but also greatly reduce the casualties of the Tang army.

This is the prototype of the proxy war in Li Qinzai's mind, as long as the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers operate it properly, this war will definitely give the Tang Dynasty a perfect result.

The matter is not finished yet, there are too many things to consider when a war is provoked between countries, especially in the more than a year of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade, and the soldiers have been tired for a long time.

The problem of ensuring victory in the war and reducing casualties among soldiers is acute and complex.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai continued: "Fourth, the soldiers of the Wang Division have been fighting for more than a year and are tired, so the minister suggested that the imperial court allocate 60,000 garrisons from the Governor's Mansion of Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Dengzhou and Xiongjin Province to exchange guards with the soldiers of the Wang Division of Goguryeo in batches. ”

"In the battle to destroy Silla, 30,000 Japanese people were the vanguard in the early stage, and the soldiers of the Wang Division were in the rear, and at the same time, my Datang sent sailors and ships to start picking up the soldiers to change the guard."

"When the Japanese people are almost consumed, Datang's defense change is basically completed, we have new forces, plus sufficient firearms, this battle will be won."

Li Zhi and the ministers quickly looked at each other, and everyone had an expression of approval.

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "The future life is amazing, thinking about the war is so delicate and thorough, Datang has another famous general, worthy of being the grandson of Yinggong, there are successors to Sheji, Datang is very lucky." ”

Xu Jingzong didn't understand warfare, but he knew how to observe words and looks, and seeing that Li Zhi also looked like he thought it was true, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Li Jungong is simply an all-rounder, whether it is arithmetic, poetry and writing, or battlefield battles, he is the leader today. ”

Li Zhi immediately nodded: "The four admonitions that Jing Chu said, I will accept them all." Jing Chu had been on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and his thoughts about the situation on the Haidong Peninsula were very pertinent, his words couldn't be wrong, what did Su Gong think? ”

Su Dingfang stroked his beard and smiled: "The old minister agreed, and the later life said everything the old minister wanted to say, and the old minister had nothing to add." ”

Everyone agreed with each other, and Li Zhi's expression became more and more relaxed.

The last chess piece of the Haidong Peninsula finally landed on the chessboard.

Datang's centennial strategy began here.

The future is an endless sea of stars.

…………

The monarch and the ministers agreed, and the three provinces and six departments of the court were immediately busy.

Troops, food, firearms, and baggage.

The next day, at the Taiji Palace court, Li Zhi specially issued an order to summon the envoys of various countries in Chang'an City.

In front of the envoys of various countries, Li Zhi once again soared his acting skills.

A military report shook and trembled in his hand, and Li Zhi was furious, pointed at the nose of the Silla envoy, and reprimanded the Silla lord for his bad act of betraying the alliance and stabbing him in the back.

Pang Tongseon, the deputy governor of Liaodong Province, was assassinated in the territory of Silla State, which is a fact that the envoys of Silla State could not argue, and it is also a fact that since Goguryeo was destroyed, Silla State secretly sheltered the remnants of Goguryeo's army.

In today's situation, the lord of Silla does not necessarily have any bad ideas, and his purpose in deciding to contain the remnants of the Goguryeo army may just be to add new middle-aged laborers to the country, which is also what Yi Qinjae did in the Wa Kingdom.

However, between countries depends on strength, and what Lee Chin-jae can do, Silla cannot do.

The lord of Silla was killed, but he didn't expect that this move would become a perfect reason for the Tang Dynasty to destroy his country.

In front of hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, Li Zhi's angry expression was well played, and the angry expression of disbelief and righteous indignation was the same as the real thing.

Many unwitting courtiers in the palace believed it, so they behaved more angrily than Li Zhi.

Today's Datang is the highlight of the world's invincibility, and all kinds of disobedience and unreasonableness can stir up three points, not to mention that this time it is the Silla State that makes the first move.

Soon the ministers on the Golden Palace broke out, and they all stood up and asked for a war against the Silla Kingdom, destroying the country, and retaliating with a tooth for a tooth.

The envoys of Silla stood on the main hall, their faces pale, and their hands and feet were cold.

He didn't expect the lord of the country to cause such a big disaster, the Tang Dynasty Sect Lord's Eastern Crusade, you actually dare to contain the remnants of Goguryeo, what do you think, big brother? Why are you so rebellious?

Kneeling down in panic, the envoys of Silla explained and argued tremblingly, this is not my Silla's doing, it must be a villain secretly framing and planting, dividing the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Silla, please see your majesty the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi's eyes were cold, and the villain secretly framed and planted a false accusation? Who's a villain? This idea was secretly discussed between me and Yinggong and several other important ministers, am I a villain?

Not only stabbed allies in the back, but also cursed, so angry.

Li Zhi stood up and announced in the Golden Palace in a cold tone.

From now on, the Tang Dynasty severed diplomatic relations with Silla, and Honglu Temple expelled the envoys of Silla from Chang'an and sent them back to Silla.

In view of the bad behavior of the Silla State in betraying the alliance and backstabbing the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could not bear this tone no matter what, so the edict ordered the British Gong Li Tao, the chief of the march of Liaodong Province, to lead the king's division and soldiers to attack Silla, and the king's division was defeated by the ministers.

The reason for sending troops was strong and impeccable, and the envoys of various countries in the Golden Palace, including the envoys of various countries, cast contemptuous eyes on the Silla envoys, and then agreed with the edict of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Silla, and no one had any objections.

Even Liu In-rail, who likes to sing the opposite tune the most, also said impassionedly that his ministers are willing to lead the army to march to capture Kim Famin, the lord of Silla alive, abolish his palace, and eliminate his ethnicity, so as to avenge this great revenge.

Li Zhi looked around at the ministers with a gloomy face, but his heart became more and more excited.

Look at the mood of this full temple, how in place.

In the battle to destroy Silla, in terms of public opinion and morality, the Tang Dynasty occupied the high ground with lightning speed, and in the future, when Li Tao destroyed the Silla Kingdom, the vassal states around the Tang Dynasty would only applaud, and no one would sympathize with the Silla Kingdom.

The news in the court gradually spread to the people.

The next day, the people of Chang'an City were also boiling.

Li Zhi issued an edict to sever diplomatic relations, and Yang Hongwu, a scholar of Hongwenguan, personally wrote a letter on the Silla scriptures, and literate scholars and students among the people translated it to the people, and the people were immediately indignant.

The deputy head of the Tang Dynasty march is a big official, and people kindly went to Silla to mediate the conflict, but they were stabbed in Silla State, what is the nature of this, Datang is a victim! And the suffering is deep, the bitterness is deep, the Fanbang barbarian small country, dare to betray the Tang Dynasty, this must not be destroyed?

The anger of the people broke out in the market, and the merchants of Silla in Chang'an fell into bad luck.

Without warning, groups of people broke into the shops of the Silla merchants and smashed the goods inside, and the merchants and men were beaten up.

After beating their buttocks, they left, and then went to the next house, and the eastern and western cities of Chang'an fell into a brief chaos due to the war between the Tang Dynasty and Silla.

People's sentiment and public anger are so easy to manipulate.
