Chapter 1112: Datang, what kind of reaction speed is this
On the third day after the end of the exam, the officials of Silla and Baekje arrived at Chang'an City, but the reaction of Chang'an City to their arrival was already beyond the expectations of these envoys.
The whole of Chang'an is still singing and dancing, as if they don't matter much at all, and in fact, it is.
But to their surprise, after they submitted the relevant request to the officials of Honglu Temple, they actually got a response as soon as possible, and they met His Majesty in the Liangyi Hall within an hour...... Oh no, it's His Royal Highness King Qin.
When they saw Li Ke, the two envoys were obviously stunned for a moment, no, shouldn't this place be His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? And what's going on with the Honglu Temple officials of the Tang Dynasty?
When he brought himself here, he was talking about bringing himself to see the person who can call the shots in Datang, this is the person who can call the shots in Datang? And what about His Majesty the Emperor?
Of course...... They are not questioning His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, after all, as envoys, they must have a good understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, they cannot be regarded as envoys.
They are very clear about Li Ke's status in Datang, and the problem is clear, but this is related to the state affairs of Datang to the outside world, can this King of Qin also call the shots?
"The ministers of the subject country have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Both of them hurriedly saluted, it didn't matter what they thought in their hearts, but they had to do enough work on the surface.
"Your intention, the officials of Honglu Temple have already told me that as a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, you have been fighting wars and fighting with each other every once in a while, which has seriously affected the balance of the local situation."
"So, you came this time to let Datang mediate with you, right?" Li Ke looked at them and said with a calm face.
"Yes." The two envoys said very dryly.
"Do you find it useful to mediate?" Li Ke looked at them.
The two didn't speak, they didn't know the relationship between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, although Goguryeo was a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, and when the king of Goguryeo was replaced, the Tang Dynasty was also required to canonize it.
But in fact, what Goguryeo does, it doesn't care about Datang at all, or rather, it's just perfunctory on the surface, and it doesn't care about the appearance of Datang at all.
And Baekje was still fighting Silla before, but now he came with Silla again, and when Baekje fought with Silla, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty did not go.
Went, but did it work? No.
Although this has something to do with the fact that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were not too strict.
"As long as the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven arrive in Goguryeo, with His Majesty's will, presumably Goguryeo will not dare to disobey it." The envoy of Baekje spoke.
"My father is very angry, because you have affected the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and Goguryeo did not listen to the words of the Tang envoys, so this time, the Tang Dynasty decided to teach him a lesson, and the Tang Dynasty decided to send troops!" Li Ke didn't bother to hide anything, but said very simply.
"Huh?" The two envoys of Silla and Baekje were stunned, isn't this pie in the sky? They originally just asked for a 1, but they never expected Datang to give 100 directly!
"Your Highness, what do you mean by the Tang Dynasty sending troops?" The envoy of Baekje asked with a worried face.
"The Tang Dynasty decided to send Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, as the main commander, and the deputy marshal as Lu Guogongcheng, to lead 10,000 Tang elites to Silla and Baekje in person on the Datang sea ship."
Then the soldiers of Silla and Baekje assisted the battle, and personally faced the soldiers of Goguryeo. Make sure that there are no problems in both of your countries. Li Ke said lightly.
The faces of the two envoys showed expressions of ecstasy, which ...... It was so unexpected that they never expected that it would be such a situation in the end.
Datang is actually willing to send troops? And the dispatch of troops is 10,000? It is still the elite troops of Datang.
"This ...... Is that what Your Majesty meant? The two envoys asked tentatively.
"This is the promise given to you by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Khan. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not cost you two a penny, but will only help you two countries get back the land that belongs to you. ”
"But your soldiers are to assist in the war." Li Ke looked at them and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness." Two people are happy, if it is another person, they may be worried, doves occupy the magpie's nest.
But since it was the guarantee made by Tian Khan, there was no problem at all, and the two of them were naturally ecstatic.
"I just don't know when the army will be ready to go?" The two asked directly.
"General Li Daozong and General Cheng Yanjin are ready, and they will enter the Yellow River from the Wei River with the transport ships that have rushed to the outside of the city with 200 personal guards, and then enter the Yangtze River along the canal, and go straight to Shanghai County in the Tang Dynasty."
"There, Datang's naval fleet is already waiting, and the two of you can now lead your team out of the city." Li Ke said very simply.
The two envoys are stupid, today? No, they have just entered Chang'an City, are they leaving?
"What? Is there a problem? Li Ke looked at them and asked.
"Nope." It is impossible for the two envoys to say that even if there is a problem, as far as they are concerned, they must be a little distressed, after all, they have been tired all the way along the way.
As a result, after coming to Chang'an, I didn't even have time to rest, and entered Chang'an City in the morning, only to board a ship back to Silla and Baekje in the afternoon?
Is Datang's response so swift?
Or is Datang already strong enough to draw so many troops at any time? But whatever the outcome, it's not a question for them to think about.
In fact, it was not up to them to decide what to contend with, and in the afternoon, the Silla and Baekje envoys stepped aboard the ships of Lee Dojong and Cheng Yanjin.
In fact, if it weren't for waiting for them, Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin estimated that they would be able to board the sea at this time.
When the two left Chang'an City, Huo Gang took the latest information from the Ministry of Intelligence, Li Ke thought about it, and still convened the personnel to hold the second meeting of the Military Department.
However, there are not so many members this time, Li Shimin, Li Ke, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Huo Gang, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji.
"Let's take a look at the information in your hand." Li Ke asked Huo Gang to distribute the information to everyone before continuing: "This information was sent back from Goguryeo by our intelligence officers. ”
"Judging from the current situation, the contradiction between Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu is almost irreconcilable, or the contradiction between Yuangai Suwen and many families of Goguryeo is irreconcilable."
