The envoy she sent again did not meet Li Shimin again in Chang'an.

After the material army in Liaodong was prepared, Li Shimin took Li Tao, Hou Junji and other cronies to kill him.

Li Jing was left in Chang'an by him and left to Li Kuan.

Li Chengqian was also taken away, and Li Shimin had the attitude of cultivating his son.

Therefore, the second envoy sent by Queen Seondeok only felt bad when he looked at Li Kuan, who was smiling.

After Li Shimin left, Li Kuan hung up the prestige of the prison state.

So the task of receiving the envoy also fell to Li Kuan.

In the palace, Li Kuan and the Silla envoy sat face to face, looking at the Silla envoy opposite, Li Kuan smiled and said: "Aren't you selling Goguryeo materials very well, why do you still come to Datang." ”

"On the peninsula, you are allies, and you Silla are also the bosses, and in the Tang Dynasty, you are directly the third and the fourth, and the fifth and the third."

"So, I don't quite understand why you're here."

The Silla envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Respected Prince of the Tang Dynasty, we have nothing to do with Goguryeo and Baekje, we Silla and they have been enemies for generations, and the people of the two countries can't wait to strangle each other when they meet." ”

Well, that's true.

Li Kuan believed him.

However, this does not hinder Datang's strategic and tactical advancement.

"So you still didn't say why you came to Datang."

Li Kuan asked again.

The Silla envoy wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "We, Silla, have come to bow down. ”

"We are willing to bow down for Datang."

"It used to be a personal act, so we brought gifts."

Immediately afterwards, the Silla envoy opened a gift box, which contained the head of the previous envoy.

One push, four, five, six, the responsibility is all for the dead, and it has nothing to do with them, the living.

In this regard, Li Kuan said that he was more or less speechless.

But this is normal, after all, the information has been sent, saying that this guy passed by the Liaodong military camp when he came and saw the elite of the Tang Dynasty, so it is understandable to make changes.

Li Kuan has always had an appreciative attitude towards the Tang army, especially the army led by Li Shimin this time, which was formed little by little by Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong, and was selected from the garrisons in various places.

Among them are also legions of madmen who have fought in the battlefields of Central Asia.

A group of professional soldiers who do not know how to make a living except killing people on the battlefield, Li Kuan remembers that there are about 30,000 people, and the average age is 38 years old.

And the reason why Li Kuan can remember them is because they are too capable of fighting, Hou Junji once led 5,000 troops to kill Sassanid Persia with 50,000 people, and killed the other party.

After they came back, they really didn't know how to live, and the money in their hands was quickly lost, Li Jing found him and got a foundation for these people, professionally invested, and hung it in his name.

In this way, Li Kuan knew that there was such an army of madmen in the Tang army.

The Silla envoy sitting opposite Li Kuan saw that Li Kuan had not spoken, and said nervously: "Dear Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our Silla is really sincere. ”

You can't do it without sincerity.

A flash of despair welled up in the heart of the Silla envoy.

When passing by the Liaodong military camp, the guy named Gao Shilian specially invited him to visit.

The 200,000-strong army had no miscellaneous soldiers, and the heavy logistical supplies were enough to supply for three years, and the terrifying gunpowder weapons shook the heavens and the earth.

As soon as he was about to send the message back, he received a surprise attack on the Silla warehouse by the Tang general Zhang Liang and took away the grain they had sold to Goguryeo.

Moreover, Zhang Liang's marines had only 5,000 men and defeated their army of 20,000 and beheaded 5,000 of them.

The most terrifying thing is that he heard in the Tang Dynasty army that the heads of the 5,000 people are only counted as the military merits of 1,000 people.

This is blatant discrimination against the Silla people.

In Asia, the Han people's calculation of military merit is basically the measure of their own combat effectiveness in other countries.

The most bullish is the Huns who died in battle, and they are exchanged for one to one, and the weakest is the miscellaneous Hu, which is exchanged for one to ten.

When Gao Shilian told him about their one-to-five exchange ratio, he felt speechless for a while, but there was no way at all, who made him not as strong as the other party, and who made them Silla weak.

Li Kuan yawned, glanced at the pickled head in the box, nodded, and said relaxedly: "I feel it." ”

Decisive enough, that Queen Seondeok still has some means.

It's a pity that it's useless.

Li Kuanxu and the snake for a while, then asked people to take the Silla envoy down.

He was too lazy to talk, and when Li Shimin was leaving, he said that he would kill Silla as well, under the pretext that the Silla envoy roared in court.

"In profitable situations, weakness is the original sin."

Li Kuan couldn't help but mutter.

If Silla is weak, it will be destroyed by Datang.

If Silla's strength can threaten the existence of Datang, then. Li Shimin will destroy them even more.

Anything that threatens the existence of Datang is guilty.

After the Silla envoy left, not long after, Wei Zheng came with a frown.

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened in the country."

Hearing this, Li Kuan gasped, Datang had an accident.

"What's going on?"

"Some people think that Liaodong should not be destroyed."

"Which SC officer said it, I'll kill him."

"It's not the officials, it's some people in the people, they say to be kind, to live together peacefully, and that's the focus of development."

Li Kuan was speechless.

"What did the men and women say?"

"There were both men and women, and there were even people who wanted to organize strikes and help the poor Goguryeo."

Li Kuan was silent, Wei Zheng didn't bother him, and when he heard the news at first, he was also silent,

It's so speechless.

The good life they have now in the Tang Dynasty is not obtained by peace and kindness, but by squeezing the people of the Western Regions, Tuguhun and South Asia.

To put it bluntly, the benefits they eat are all exploited.

But so what, for these officials, the people of the Tang Dynasty can live well.

As a result, some people now say that they should not start a war, but also need to help and save Goguryeo.

It's ridiculous, you know.

After the silence, Li Kuan slowly spoke, and said calmly: "Whichever factory strikes, this factory will be banned." ”

"When the time comes, record the name, never hire it, and then check the three generations of the organizers, and if the political review fails, send it directly to the mine."

In troubled times, the Virgin Mary was killed first, and the Virgin Mary was boycotted in prosperous times.

This is the answer given by Li Kuan, he can accept peace lovers, but he does not accept indiscriminate peace lovers.

Wei Zheng is a lover of peace, but people know where peace is needed.

Wei Zheng nodded firmly, he came to ask for his life.

After the prison state gave the order, he carried it out better.

Otherwise, it will be more and more budding.

"Understood, I will tell the bottom line to the people below, and let them do the rest first."

"I also believe that under the premise of the dissolution of the factory, the people below will understand and know what to do."

The choice between official position and peace, Wei Zheng believes that those officials will do well.
