In the 26th year of the Tang Dynasty, on March 1, the court meeting.

Goguryeo envoys Xu Yuwen and Huo Zisaner were summoned by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Although the two were puzzled, they still participated in the court meeting for the first time.

Then they got the resolution announced by Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Province at the court meeting.

"Today, there is a Tang vassal state of Goryeo, the following bullying, do not respect the obligations of the subject country, wantonly attack other subject countries of the Tang Dynasty, disrupt the order of the frontier, so now His Majesty the Tang Emperor issued an ultimatum to Goryeo, after the envoys arrived in Goryeo, immediately surrendered the whole country, and together with the nobles of Goryeo moved into the Tang Dynasty Chang'an to live, and the whole of Goryeo was merged into the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling's words were simple and straightforward, but Xu Yuwen and Huo Zisan'er who listened to them turned pale! Recently, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tang Dynasty has entered a busy state, and the sixteen guards of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty have all left Chang'an.

They didn't think much about it, but now that they understood with this order, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty was going to use troops against Goguryeo.

The two wanted to say something, but they also knew that they had no right to make any decisions on behalf of Goryeo, and all they could do was to leave Chang'an as soon as possible and rush back to Goryeo.

After arranging for the two to leave, the rest of Datang also unfolded in an orderly manner.

To tell the truth, there is no need for Datang to be in a hurry in the battle with Goguryeo, it can be said that it is most appropriate to advance steadily, anyway, Datang is not in a hurry, Datang is developing steadily in China, whether it is food or other materials, there is no shortage of food, and the army is also steadily approaching the border.

However, the pressure of Goguryeo was not the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, and a considerable part of the fields on the border between the two countries belonged to Goguryeo, and the grain produced by these fields was also very important to Goguryeo.

As long as the Tang Dynasty can advance steadily and encroach little by little, Goguryeo will undoubtedly be defeated.

And unlike the Tang Dynasty in history dealing with Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty in history can't afford to drag it out, but the current Tang Dynasty can even drag it out here for three or five years.

Goguryeo could not station so many soldiers on the border for a long time, although Goguryeo was not the same as the military system of the Tang Dynasty, it was the implementation of the military and political integration system, that is, the local administrative officials were also the highest military officials in the local area.

Although the soldiers of Goguryeo are not a government military system, there are some similarities, Goguryeo has some professional soldiers, that is, recruited, but there are also a large number of soldiers who will receive military training, and then serve as soldiers in wartime and work as farmers in peacetime.

This is a bit like a nomad, which is inseparable from the integration of nomads in the vicinity of Goguryeo.

The unique military system of Goguryeo also allowed them to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, but it was unlikely that they would fight for a long time.

Because of the long-term fighting, Goguryeo itself was mountainous and had little arable land, and during the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo was in a state of food shortage for a long time.

However, with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the chaos of the Central Plains Dynasty, Goguryeo took the opportunity to obtain a large number of Han people in the Central Plains, and also obtained a lot of metallurgical technology in the Central Plains.

At present, the total population of Goguryeo is about 4 million, and in an emergency, it can even draw out nearly 600,000 troops comparable to the Tang Dynasty, and they are not inferior in weapons and equipment.

Of course, this is compared with the previous Datang, and the current Datang is naturally incomparable.

In addition, compared with the Tang Dynasty in history, weapons and equipment aside, there is another most important point that the Tang Dynasty in history is not only facing Goryeo in this period.

In history, the Tang Dynasty sent troops in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, and in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, it officially launched a move against Goguryeo, so what else did the Tang Dynasty do during this period? The Tang Dynasty also destroyed Xue Yantuo, who was also in the north, from the nineteenth year to the twentieth year of Zhenguan.

That is to say, while Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty in history drove his personal expedition to Goguryeo, he not only faced Goguryeo, but also faced Xue Yantuo in the north, and by the way, even Xue Yantuo was exterminated.

Although it is said that Xue Yantuo's combat effectiveness plummeted at that time because of the death of Yi Yiyinan, the Tang Dynasty at that time was also in full swing with Goguryeo, so you can see how powerful the Tang Dynasty was at that time.

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty in history seems to have the largest land area in the Gaozong period, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty's combat effectiveness in the Zhenguan period was the most powerful.

But what about the current Datang? The entire Xue Yantuo, Murwei, and Khitan are not only no longer a drag of the Tang Dynasty, but have become the garrison of the Tang Dynasty. This was not good news for Goguryeo.

It's just that there is a good saying, the hemp rope is always broken at the finest place, and the house leak coincides with the overnight rain.

At the same time that the Tang Dynasty officially declared war on the Goguryeo envoys, the village of Monobe, who was far away in the Wa Kingdom, looked at the city in front of him with a cold face, which had fallen into madness.

The whole city has been completely surrounded, and there are constantly miserable roars from the city, firelight, smoke, and screams rising into the sky throughout the city.

But the village of Wubu did not change his face, this is already the last madness of the traditional aristocratic forces of the Wa Kingdom, for more than a year, the existence of the Wubu still sacrificed more than 5,000 soldiers in the case of having the absolute logistics supply of the Tang Dynasty, although the soldiers under his command are still as high as 20,000.

This is because more and more Wakoku people are taking the initiative to join the army under the village of Monobe.

Because these Japanese people also realized who was the one who really liberated them, in these territories occupied by Wubu Village, it was the Tang people who ruled them, the official documents executed were the official documents of the Tang Dynasty, and the words spoken by the officials were also in the Tang dialect.

The point is that the policy implemented is also the policy of Datang.

After the extermination of all the nobles in the village of Monobe and the release of all the slave civilians who were attached to the aristocracy, these people did not stand on the side of the nobles, and the Tang policy brought by the village of Monobe brought them an unprecedented experience.

The Monobe Muramura has never birded them, nor paid attention to them, and has not had any requirements for them, but this kind of behavior has cut into the Muqiang psychology of the Wa people, in their opinion, the Monobe Muraxia is really sent by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to save them, since it was sent by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, then naturally there is no need to bird them.

Under such circumstances, when the soldiers of Monobe Village were killed in battle, and there were fewer and fewer of them, more and more Japanese civilians took the initiative to join the army of Monobe Village yesterday.
