Chapter 424: Bad News Comes
Winter goes to spring, and it's another year! In the early spring of the fourth year of Zhenguan, counting from the ninth year of Wude, this is the fifth year that Li Yuanying has crossed over, and her daughter is ten years old.
Li Yuanying had just eaten breakfast, holding a handle pot, standing at the door of the tavern drinking tea, chatting with the Xuanjia Army, at the entrance of the southeast lane of the West Market, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
This southeast alley, everyone knows, can not run horses, even the magnate rides, can only go to the mouth of the alley, unless it is a big event, otherwise the guards at the mouth of the alley will not be released.
Well? Someone from the palace? Could it be that something is wrong? Li Yuanying's face changed.
The one who came to report the news was a little eunuch, who turned over and dismounted and hurriedly said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" Youzhou 800 li rushed to report, saying that the Silla Kingdom had been destroyed, and His Majesty asked His Royal Highness to enter the palace as soon as possible. β
What??? Silla was destroyed?
Syllable! The teapot in Li Yuanying's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"The king knows, go back, and I will come later." Everyone, until I come back, don't leak it out, especially don't tell Fang Yiai. β
After telling everyone around him, Li Yuanying returned to the backyard and rode the golden lion directly to the palace.
Li Er has already summoned several important ministers, including Li Yuanba, who has also arrived, just waiting for Li Yuanying.
"Fifth brother, I really can't imagine that taking advantage of the whole winter, Goguryeo will do such a big thing, and the new Goguryeo King Quan Gai Suwen is really not easy." Li Er was the first to speak.
Li Yuanying frowned, and asked, "Second brother, is the news reliable?" In the country of Silla, do you have any news about my cheap third disciple? β
Everyone was full of astonishment, and they all looked at King Qin in disbelief.
Li Er laughed out loud, "You kid, you are really a short-sighted, and you are asked to discuss national affairs, but you only care about your own disciples." Don't worry, it's your disciple who came to report for help. It's a pity that Silla has nothing to live except for her to escape death. Naquan Gai Suwen's methods are ruthless, and the King of Zhenping is not one out of ten. β
Li Yuanying finally let go of her brows and explained calmly: "It's not that I'm protecting my shortcomings, it's not that my bereaved love has made a marriage contract with Jindeman, and I'm anxious to ask for my beloved." I deliberately kept it a secret from me before I came, so I don't have to worry about it now. β
Fang Xuanling, who was present, got up and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, for caring about the dogs." β
Waving his hand to signal that he was not polite, Li Yuanying came to his seat and sat down, regained his indifferent demeanor, and listened to the information quietly.
This matter is very suspicious, because among the three peninsulas, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, Silla is the second largest power, although it is far from Goguryeo, but it will not be wiped out silently in one winter.
After listening to the information, everyone understood.
It turned out that everything was calculated by Quangai Suwen, thanks to a surprise.
Common sense infers that troops cannot be mobilized in winter, especially in the northeast, where heavy snow closes the road for half a year, and the war will generally start after the summer grain is harvested, which is a recognized tacit understanding. But this time, Goguryeo went the opposite way and specially chose to start the war in winter, which caught Silla by surprise.
This is not counting, after all, the war to destroy the country is not easy, Silla has stood on the peninsula for a hundred years, and Goguryeo cannot easily destroy the country.
This is to say that the second one was taken by surprise, Baekje entered the war, and it was one-sided to Goguryeo.
Everyone knows that Silla has always been at odds with the two, and has always insisted that he is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty and accepts the protection of the Tang Dynasty, so he can save himself by means of distant friendship and close attack.
Quangai Suwen knew this very well, so he chose to start the war in winter, so that the Tang Dynasty was powerless to rescue, and even if it wasn't for Silla's death, Princess Jindeman would not be able to escape and report the news.
Jindeman still risked his life to go to sea and fled north into the territory of Murwei, only to borrow the Dao Murwei, Jianya, and Khitan, and arrived in Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty and picked up a life. If it weren't for this, if she had sailed south into the sea, the navy in Baekje south would have blocked the way out long ago, and she would have died without a life.
In order to destroy Goguryeo within a few months, Quangai Suwen took great pains to bring in the Wa Kingdom in the east as reinforcements, and directly attacked the rear of Silla.
After listening to the information, Li Er looked at Li Yuanying and asked, "Fifth brother, this is the situation, what do you think?" When to send troops to take revenge, you can say a plan, it just so happens that everyone is there, you can discuss it. β
Li Yuanying was a little confused, "Revenge? What revenge? Goguryeo fought Silla, not our Tang Dynasty. Besides, that King Zhenping is not my relative, I don't care if he dies or not, I will avenge him? Second brother, you're not mistaken, right? β
Burst...... ThisβIt's not like you! Then Kindman is your personal disciple, aren't you extremely protective of your shortcomings? Why, why is there no movement at all?
Li Er's face was strange, and he said in his heart I expected you to use troops to take revenge, so before you came, I persuaded the ministers to help and cooperate with you with kind words, but you told me that the destruction of Silla has nothing to do with you?
"Why are they all looking at me like this? Could it be, you guys want to fight, I'm embarrassed to take the lead, let me come out and carry the flag, right? That's impossible, this king loves peace. Li Yuanying pointed to a group of prime ministers and asked.
Changsun Wuji and the others hurriedly shook their heads, we didn't want to fight, Datang has just recovered a little bit in the past few years, it is better not to fight if we can.
Burst...... You? Peace-loving? Who believes? Not long ago, you fooled me into beating the whole world, Li Er really wanted to go up and give this unscrupulous old man a kick.
Li Yuanba asked curiously: "Fifth brother, your cheap apprentice is already on his way, and he will be able to reach Chang'an in ten days." When the time comes, if she begs you to call the shots and help him take revenge and restore the country, what will you say? Can you sit idly by? β
I? Sit on one's hands? How is it possible, who doesn't know that I'm the most protective?
In that case, then you still ......
Li Yuanying looked innocent, spread his hands and said: "But I'm just an idle prince, and I'm the best at business and cooking." I don't even think about the war! β
Burst......
The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and reminded: "Your Highness, you are the general of Tiance, and the military power is in your hands." β
"Hey! Don't mention this, no one in Chang'an City knows, I am an idle prince with a name. Except for those hundreds of personal soldiers, no one can be mobilized, and no general in Chang'an City listens to my orders. Hey, I can't help it! β
Burst...... Shameless, shameless. You don't even believe it yourself.
"It's a big deal, I'll take Kindman to visit the generals, and I'll see who dares to stand up and cooperate? Second brother, if you dare to transfer troops after listening to me, you will write them all down, and turn around and take the position of general by forming a party for personal gain. β
Li Er hurriedly persuaded him, "Ahem!" Fifth brother, stop talking nonsense. I have granted you the authority to transfer troops. If you say that, let the generals misunderstand. Isn't it just to deceive a woman, why bother so much. β
