In September of the first year of Yongchang, the Tang Dynasty fought in the Western Turkic Rebellion, and the Tang army fought against the Western Turkic rebels in Lengquan.

The 100,000 Tang army defeated 50,000 Western Turkic rebels and captured more than 20,000 people.

The Western Turkic Khan Ashina was captured, and Xu Da ordered Shazha Zhongyi to stay in the Western Regions to appease the Western Turkic people, and he led a large army to escort the captives back to Chang'an.

On Li Duozuo's side, he cooperated with the nine divisions of the Northern Chamber Wei, and first annexed the tribes loyal to the Turks among the twenty-five divisions of the Southern Chamber and raided the Great Chamber Wei.

The combination of the Bo Mur Wei and the Sho Heng Mur Wei, together with the remnants of the Omuro Wei Division, engaged the Northern Murro Wei Nine Divisions and the pro-Tang Southern Muro Wei Five Divisions in the Great Prairie.

The two sides fought in the dark, and the combined forces of Bo Mur Wei and Shen Mo Heng Mur Wei were stronger than those of the North and South Mur Wei, and when they were about to gain the upper hand, Li Duozuo led a large army to kill.

The combined forces of Bo Murowei and Shenmo Hengmuwei were defeated, and their leaders were defeated and fled, and Li Duozuo immediately led a large army in pursuit, and finally beheaded the leaders of these two tribes.

Its subordinates were annexed by the North and South Murwei, and the North and South Murwei developed and grew, of which the five Southern Murwei were the strongest.

According to Li Jing's will, Li Duozuo divided the nine parts of the North Chamber into thirty parts, and the five parts of the South Chamber Wei into forty-five parts.

And set up the Murwei Duhufu here to manage the various departments of the Murowei, and sent 20,000 troops to be stationed near the Duhufu Governor's Office, close to the Khitan tribe.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tuqi Shi decisively surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and sent ministers to pay tribute.

Since then, the problem of the Western Regions has been settled.

……

Silla Castle, inside the main hall of the council.

Jin Lihong looked at the envoy who was kneeling on the ground and sent to Datang, his brows furrowed slightly.

"You mean that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to go to Chang'an to meet him, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and you are also a courtier of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I want you to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also said that Silla is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, how can he give the first king a nickname at will, and ask His Majesty to go to Chang'an in person to ask for a nickname."

The Tang envoy was sent to answer truthfully, he didn't dare to hide anything, as for whether Jin Lihong went to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, it was Jin Lihong's business, he was just a messenger.

"What? How can the Tang Dynasty be so rude, how noble is the king of Silla, and he is not a slave of the Tang Emperor, how can the Tang Emperor do such a thing! ”

Silla's left minister, Park Zhengdang, roared angrily.

The envoy could only bow his head, his whole body trembling.

"Okay, Zuo Xiang, even if you kill him, it's useless, this is what the Tang Emperor meant, and now what we have to consider is the relationship between me Silla and the Tang Dynasty."

"Do you go to Datang to ask for a nickname for the former king, or refuse such an impertinent request, if I, Silla, oppose it, will I be able to withstand the military blow of Datang?"

Jin Lihong stopped the angry Zuo Xiang, if he didn't stop him, he would inevitably be beaten up if he sent the Tang envoy!

Silla and Datang are not in the same rank, and if they confront Datang, they are likely to perish.

Silla has been friends with the Tang Dynasty for many years, and sent many Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many ministers in the court who are close to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty! We must not offend Datang, the Tang army is strong, and resisting Datang is undoubtedly a dead end. ”

The Silla official in charge of the accounts, whose position was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty's Hubu Shangshu, was the first to stand up against it.

He has studied in Datang for more than ten years, and he knows the strength of Datang very well, as a Silla native, he does not want Silla to be wiped out by Datang's army.

In the past, the powerful Goguryeo was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and the current Tang Dynasty is even more powerful than the previous one, and it is easy to destroy Silla.

Against Datang, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, seeking a dead end.

Although he studied in Datang and was close to Datang, he was also a Silla native and had feelings for Silla.

He really didn't want the war to ignite in Silla, and he wanted to do his best to protect his homeland.

"Do you want Your Majesty to grovel and beg for mercy to the Tang Emperor?"

"Where does my Silla face exist, several generations of previous kings worked hard to lay down the current Silla country, do you have to give it to the Tang Dynasty?"

"How sad it would be if the first king of the Liedai knew about it, Your Majesty, please put to death this slanderous fellow, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The right minister of Silla was very sad and indignant, fell to his knees, and begged Kim Rihong to kill Silla's Tobe Shangshu to show his determination that Silla would definitely not compromise like the Tang Dynasty.

Even if Datang is the suzerain, they can't treat him like this, even if they die, they must not be spineless, if Datang dares to send troops over, they will fight to the death!

Jin Lihong was deeply shocked and felt relieved to have such a loyal courtier.

But now Silla, does it really have the ability to fight against the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?

"The minister also agrees with the statement of the right minister, the Tang Dynasty humiliated me Silla so much, our Silla must not swallow his anger, the minister thought that he should immediately mobilize the army and go north to deploy defense in the area of the Datong River."

Left Prime Minister Park Jung-dang immediately put forward a plan to send heavy troops to defend the border between the two countries, and to see who would dare to despise my Silla.

"This will only intensify the contradictions, if Datang thinks that my Silla has a provocative intention and mobilizes a large army to attack my Silla, with the current strength of Silla, there is no doubt that if you go against Datang, you will definitely die!"

Another official stood up against it, feeling that pulling the army to the Datong River was undoubtedly declaring war on the Tang Dynasty, and the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not a good stubble.

If you really want to pull the army to the Datong River, it is equivalent to sending it to Datang, a reasonable reason to fight Silla, and Datang will be able to justifiably send a large army to attack Silla.

The civil and military officials of Silla were divided into two factions, and they quarreled fiercely, one faction advocated war, and for the sake of their own dignity and dignity, they must use force to tell anyone that Silla is not easy to mess with, and whoever dares to come and get along with Silla will fight with whomever Silla will fight.

Even the powerful Tang Dynasty could not let the Silla people lose their dignity.

The other faction advocates having a good talk with Datang, and it is not impossible to ask their king to go to Datang, and to send the king's son.

Datang is the most inclusive country, as long as Silla can maintain enough respect for Datang, Datang will not embarrass its own vassals.

But if you dare to pull the army to the Datong River, the nature will become different, that is to provoke the Tang Dynasty, if the emperor does not send troops to attack, how to show the emperor's heavenly might.

They feel that between them and Datang, peace is still precious, and there is no need to fight to the death.
