Chapter 687: Join forces with the Tang Dynasty to fight Tubo together
In the official residence of the guest house, Li Xuan sat behind the low table in the middle, and looked at Qin Dull Jiaogan who was sitting behind the low table on the left side calmly.
The faint gaze made Qin Dull feel a burst of pressure.
The King of the East Sea may still be alive, but his power is certainly far from what it used to be.
Without their containment, Datang will immediately have a large number of manpower and material resources liberated, such as the king of Nanchang.
At that time, if Silla makes trouble with Datang again, then Datang will definitely clean up Silla fiercely.
Seeing the ugly look on Qin Jiaogan's face, Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "State envoy, you guessed wrong, according to this king's thoughts, His Majesty should put this part of the power into Tubo, after all, Tubo is the fierce enemy of my Tang Dynasty, and if you add more strength, you will naturally have a better chance of winning on the battlefield." Defeated Tibet, Silla ......"
Li Xuan's words were not finished, but Qin Xuanjiao's face was almost frozen.
In today's war, Silla is just leftovers, pulling Datang and disgusting Datang, they can already do it to the extreme.
I'm afraid that even they themselves never thought that they would be able to fight Chang'an, and even they might not even be able to take Liaodong.
But if they do this, it will definitely greatly anger Datang.
Now, the King of the East Sea is dead.
Once the Tang Dynasty completely defeated the Tibetans on the Western Front and freed up their hands, they would definitely punish Silla severely.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, Silla is not worth mentioning at all.
Even initially, Silla and Datang turned their faces, but it was also after the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had a stalemate.
Now that the decisive battle between the two countries is imminent, does Silla really want to choose Tubo to stand on the side?
Looking up at Li Xuan, who seemed to have a calm face but a cold look in his eyes, Qin Dull Angle Gan recalled all the things he had been in contact with during this time, and he immediately understood that Li Xuan had been calculating Silla a long time ago.
Now that Datang's national strength has been released, the situation has become worse and worse for Silla, does it really have to wait until the point of irretrievability in the end?
……
"State Envoy." Li Xuan looked at Qin Jiaogan calmly, and said lightly: "Datang and Silla were originally brothers, but it was only later that there were some dirty, but this king really hopes that one day in the future, he can see Datang and Silla return to friendship, but ......"
Li Xuan said the word "but", and his tone suddenly became cold, and Qin Dull raised his head and stared at Li Xuan dryly.
"State envoy, this king will not hide it from you, the agreement and alliance reached between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are almost no different from those of Silla, except for the Jeju Island incident." Li Xuan paused slightly, and said with a sudden face: "By the way, just now, the envoy of the Japanese State was willing to send the king's daughter to the Tang Dynasty to serve the prince." ”
"Serving the crown prince, it shouldn't be ......" Qin Dujiao said a word, almost blurting it out, but he quickly reacted.
To serve the Prince, of course, is to serve the Prince.
Now in the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know, marrying one's own children to the palace is tantamount to death.
Empress Wu has not taken a concubine for the emperor for many years.
"This king will do his best to get the prince and his majesty to agree to this, and once the matter is completed, you should understand, envoy, what the result will be?" Li Xuan's body leaned forward slightly, and the strong pressure pressed on Qin Xuangan's body again.
With the Tang Dynasty in the north, the Wa Kingdom in the south, and the north and south attacking, Silla will immediately fall into the problem of being caught between the east and the west.
When the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the relationship with Silla was extremely friendly.
It was one south and one north, and it was attacked at both ends, and finally Goguryeo was completely exterminated.
If the battle resumes, Silla will immediately find itself in an extremely dangerous situation.
Raising his head and looking at Li Xuan, Qin Dull Jiaogan finally said in a hoarse voice: "Armistice, Silla can do this, but the matter of Jeju Island is not good, besides, the foreign minister does not have this power." ”
"Let's get married." Li Xuan looked at Qin Xuan Jiaogan and said calmly: "This king believes that he is the lord of your country, and he will gladly accept this." Datang and Tubo returned to their alliance with each other, and neither of them had to worry about the other party bullying him.
As for Jeju Island, it should be regarded as the fief of your princess, and the Tang Dynasty leased the fief of your princess, and once your princess died, then Silla had the right to take back Jeju Island; And as long as your princess and daughter are still alive, you and I will not have a day of war against each other, how about it? ”
"Is it also married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Qin Dull raised his head and stared at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled, shook his head, and said: "It doesn't matter what the king said, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven said it, and only then can the final conclusion be made, as for what will happen in the end, it depends on the weight of Silla and the Wa Kingdom in Your Majesty's heart." Or the crown prince, or the king of England, or the king of the prime minister? ”
Qin was silent.
Li Xuan stood up, walked in front of Qin Dull Jiaogan, lowered his gaze, looked at him and said: "State envoy, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla cannot exist only for one generation, two generations, or even three generations, five generations, and ten generations, it is possible, if it is the blood of the Silla royal family, it will be beneficial to both you and me if it can be integrated into the blood of the Tang royal family." ”
Qin Dull Jiaogan raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a surprised face.
Li Xuan smiled lightly, his words were not casual nonsense.
You must know that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla is very close, even in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, there were mutual marriages, and it has always been the country of the East Island to marry a daughter into the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was still a little hesitant, Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "State envoy, there are some things that this king only says to you, so there is no need for you to go back and talk to your lord...... Between the Tang Dynasty and the Silla royal family, it is only a matter of the royal family, but the family where the envoy is located is not the royal family, if it is in the Tang Dynasty, there can be such a concubine to help, Your Excellency's family, as well as many other Silla families, can benefit from this, so, why not? ”
Qin Dull Jiaogan sat down slowly, he raised his head to look at Li Xuan, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "This matter, the foreign minister needs to return to the lord of the country." ”
"First draft a subordinate covenant, this autumn, it is best for the noble princess and the widow princess to arrive in Chang'an together." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Qin and Jiaogan, and said: "If it could be earlier, Silla might be able to send troops to participate in the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, in this battle, the balance of the war is already tilting towards the Tang Dynasty." ”
Although Qin Jiaogan's face was ugly, he also nodded slowly.
Before, Li Xuan had mentioned to him that the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was invincible, between the two and two, but now, the king of the East China Sea is dead, and the Tang Dynasty has more forces that can be adjusted in all aspects, and every point invested in the Western Front will have a chance of winning.
If Silla also supports Datang, then Datang has a better chance of winning.
Qin Dull knew that if he wrote his reply like this, with the character of King Wenwu who was so happy, he would definitely agree.
It is almost impossible for Silla to defeat the Tang Dynasty without paying a heavy price, but if they can take the free ride of the Tang Dynasty and defeat the second Tubo today, in the style of Silla, it will be written in the history books that they defeated the Tubo.
Li Xuan can see this kind of thing clearly, and Qin Xuangan can also see it clearly.
But now, he doesn't have much choice.
Half a month has passed since the head of the King of the East China Sea was sent to him, but Datang still has not let go of the details, and all aspects are continuing to track and kill, and now the King of Nanchang talks about it again, and Qin Dull Jiaogan no longer has much confidence.
Even their faith in Tibet was seriously lacking.
Especially the sentence that the king of Nanchang once said at the Yuan Xi banquet that the Tubo people are not tolerant of extreme heat.
This means that even if the Tubo people enter the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to beat Chang'an.
"In this way, then the foreign ministers wish the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty the Heavenly Holy Emperor a great victory in the western expedition to Tibet." Qin Dull stood up and bowed heavily to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then please ask the envoy to go back and rest first, and after the draft of the covenant is drafted, I will send it to the envoy for review." ”
"The minister retired." Qin blunt Jiaogan bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and then slowly retreated to the door.
At this time, Li Xuan's voice sounded again: "State envoy, things have come to this point, if there is a recurrence, Datang's patience with Silla has reached the extreme, and at that time, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop Your Majesty, stop Datang, and even prevent this king from taking full revenge on Silla." ”
Qin Xuanjiaogan's footsteps stopped, and he turned around and bowed heavily to Li Xuan.
Then turn around and leave.
Walking in the corridor, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of Qin Dujiao, trying to obtain more favorable conditions for Silla, but the last sentence of the king of Nanchang had already said all the words to death, if Silla did not agree to this condition, then there would only be war left between the Tang Dynasty and Silla.
The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, even if there is Tubo in the west, but it still has a crushing advantage over the East Island.
Even if Silla was lucky and won the war with the Tang Dynasty, and even let the Tang Dynasty destroy the country like Goguryeo, but after the Tang Dynasty, there will still be a new powerful country rising, and at that time, it is indispensable to conquer Silla like the Tang Dynasty.
Silla, like Goguryeo, suffered a serious loss of Chinese power in the conquest with the Tang Dynasty, and in the future, it would even be destroyed like Goguryeo.
It is more likely that Silla was exterminated by the Tang Dynasty in the battle with the Tang Dynasty.
Others don't say that just the king of Nanchang arrived on Dongdao, which would definitely make Silla unbearable death.
Leaving aside his ability to command troops for the time being, his style of seizing people's weaknesses and stabbing them to the death will definitely be used on the battlefield.
When the time comes, everyone will feel an incomparably headache.
What worries Qin Dull Jiaogan the most is that the king of Nanchang seems to have a certain understanding of the king of Wenwu, and the original expedition of the sailor to the east and the collusion with the Wa kingdom were all proposed by the king of Nanchang.
He was equally familiar with the terrain of Silla.
Qin Dull Jiaogan shook his head, instead of continuing the war with Datang, it was really better to join Datang.
In this way, the royal family may still have doubts, but the major families must flock to it.
There are no options.
The sound of footsteps in front of him sounded, and Qin Dull Jiaogan looked up and saw a Tubo envoy dressed as a unique Tubo person.
Before he could use Li Xuan's set of methods repeatedly, in the rear, in the official residence, Li Xuan's voice came: "Order, from today onwards, the travel restrictions of the Silla envoy will be lifted, and he can continue to choose to live in the guest house, or he can choose to leave the imperial city and reunite with the Silla envoy." ”
Qin Dull Jiaogan didn't wait for Li Xuan to finish speaking, his face was already gloomy.
But in front of him, the face of the Tibetan envoy Zabala was even more gloomy and terrifying.
