Chapter 102: Belonging to Me (I)
Li Ye received the table of surrender from Zhen Xuan, and after reading it, he felt very satisfied, this guy is quite interesting. Among the three countries of the peninsula, Hou Baekje is located in the southwest, with his back to the sea, if Zhen Xuan insists on resisting and retreating 10,000 steps, even if the Tang army cannot be quickly destroyed on land, the Lingnan Navy Division can also land and fight.
For Li Ye, the biggest benefit of Zhen Xuan's surrender was that it saved him a lot of military spending. Otherwise, once the army started a war in the past, the consumption of armaments and materials, including spirit stone fireballs and magic arrows, crossbow arrows, would be astronomical.
In the two battles with Goryeo, although the Tang army won quickly and the casualties among the soldiers were not large, the military expenditure was indeed consumed a lot. When the two armies are fighting, the bows and crossbows in the army are all dispatched with the formation, and they are exerting their power all the time, and an hour of battle will make the wealth in the treasury one layer less.
Zhen Xuan made a wise choice in Li Ye's opinion, but the king of Silla, Kim Yao, did the opposite, not only returning his edict of persuasion, but also attaching a copy of the edict.
In this article, Jin Yao denounced the Tang Dynasty for bullying the small and Li Ye for being tyrannical and unreasonable, and said that he would devote the strength of the country to fight Li Ye to the end, even if he fought to the last soldier, he would never surrender!
If you only look at the strong wording in the Silla text, Li Ye will think that this is a powerful country, not a last-day dynasty that cannot even pacify the civil strife in the country, resulting in the country being divided into parts.
"King Kim Yoo of Silla, the son of King Kim Hyun of Hyun Kang and the nephew of Kim Man, the queen of the true saints, received the throne of the queen of the true saints three years ago. ”
Zhao Poyu called up the information collected by the Tsing Yi Yamen, and introduced to Li Ye the situation between this Jin Yao and his people and Silla, "After the collapse of King Xiankang, his younger brother King Dingkang Jin Huang succeeded to the throne, and a year later, he passed on to his sister Jinman. Soon after the queen succeeded to the throne, there was a great turmoil in the Silla Kingdom, Zhen Xuan rebelled, Liang Ji rebelled, and the Gong descendants raised troops.
"Although Zhen Xuan and Gong descendants became kings after Kim Yu ascended the throne, the Silla split actually occurred during the period of Queen Jinsheng. In the past few years after Kim Yu ascended the throne, he was diligent in political affairs, made great efforts to govern the country, punished many traitors and corrupt officials, and also appointed some virtuous ministers. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Poyu presented the document to Li Ye with both hands, and asked Li Ye to check the details himself.
Li Ye had a basic understanding of Jin Yao before, and knew the general situation of the other party, and now he read the information for a while, and couldn't help but smile, "Looking at this person's experience, it is quite similar to Xuanzong, of course, some places are also somewhat similar to me." ”
Zhao Poyu bowed down and said: "It's just a slight similarity, how can the king of a small country be compared with Your Majesty and Xuanzong?"
The Tang army had not yet captured Silla, but Zhao Poyu had already said that Jin Yu was the king of the fallen country, which shows that he did not take the other party seriously, and he was sure that the army would win the battle.
Li Ye did not talk, sat down after returning to the handsome case, and muttered to himself about the Chinese book.
The hero of the world, he has never underestimated. Although he looked up to the Bow Descendant before, he thought a lot about it in vain, but it didn't cause any bad results. Looking at Jin Yao's life experience, Li Ye can't help but think of himself.
What Zhao Poyu didn't know was that he was the king of the dead country in his previous life, everything in this life was all over again, everything was different, and years of hard work have brought Datang to a new level. Li Ye may look down on others, but he will definitely not underestimate people who are similar to himself.
The army went to Silla with only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and with the capture of the Goryeo territory and the division of troops to garrison Pyongyang, Songak and other important towns, the combat strength was reduced, and now there is Silla on the left and Baekje on the right - although Baekje has surrendered, after all, the military is complete, and it is not realistic to say that there is no threat at all - the situation is not completely without danger.
There are not many soldiers in the army, and this is the limitation.
However, since the imperial dynasty dared to send only 100,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the peninsula, it means that the troops are sufficient, and as long as they do not make big mistakes, there will be no problems. For Li Ye, he still has to try not to make any mistakes in decision-making, even if it is a small defeat, he does not want to experience.
Now there are two choices in front of Li Ye.
First, since Later Baekje had surrendered, he would concentrate his forces and take Geumseong, the capital of Silla;
Second, in order to make a foolish plan, the advance army entered Later Baekje, dismissed the Later Baekje army, collected its armaments, and waited until Later Baekje was stable and the army had no flank worries, and then concentrated on attacking Silla.
Choosing the first option, if Hou Baekje surrenders and rebels, the army will be attacked on its back, and if the war cannot be resolved quickly, Later Goguryeo will also be in chaos, and then the army will fall into the ocean.
Choosing the second option will give Silla the opportunity to concentrate troops and horses and deploy defenses tightly, and if Baekje sets up a dangerous situation when the army goes to take over the defense, ambushes on all sides, and then cooperates with Silla's attack, the situation is also not good.
Of course, the prerequisite for all these troubles is the post-Baji rebellion.
Then whether Baekje will oppose it, Li Ye can't be 100% sure.
Although in fact this is unlikely to happen, if Jin Yao and Zhen Xuan reach a consensus, then everything is possible. Jin Yao is the master of hard work, Zhen Xuan is a generation of heroes, and compared to them, Datang is a foreign invader.
At the time of the invasion of a strong enemy, it is not so inconceivable that the previously hostile forces in the country will temporarily unite as one.
According to this, the situation is very unfavorable for Li Ye.
But when he figured it all out, he wasn't worried.
He didn't need to worry.
No matter what Jin Yao and Zhen Xuan will do next, Li Ye doesn't care.
Naturally, he has a way of coping with victory.
......
The weather is clear, the wind is smooth, and King Kim Yao of Silla is walking birds in the garden of the royal palace. Although he had only been on the throne for three years, Silla had two kings after his father, and he was now in his prime.
The year of not being confused is when a man is at the peak of spring and autumn, mature and stable, and he is in the prime of life, which is very suitable for establishing great achievements.
At this time, he will not be as impulsive as a young man, and if he wants to work hard, he will work day and night, and he will not rest after the third watch, and he will often be moved to tears by himself; he will not be as spiritless as the elderly, and he will only think about keeping the merits of most of his life, as long as he does not make mistakes.
In the past three years, Jin Yu has done a lot of things, some of which are still important things related to the future of the country. But he still had an hour of the day to rest and recuperate, or to walk the birds in the garden, or to go out in the market, and sometimes to mingle with the monks.
He has a very regular schedule and rests, one more sleep, five more - meditation and pranayama are also in the category of "sleep", meals are quantitative and timed, the busier the time, the more he will not overconsume his energy.
He has great ambitions, so he takes a long-term view, and he will not do anything that will harm the long-term way. Even if some things will be delayed because of this, as long as it is not so important, it will not be as important as him living for a few more years and presiding over the country's political situation for a few more years.
He firmly believed that with his presence, Silla would be revived. Therefore, he cherishes himself even more, and absolutely does not allow himself to decay before he grows old, and only cares about the present and does not want the future.
Before Zhen Xuan led the army to attack, he did not disrupt the rhythm of his life, in his words, as long as the royal capital has not been breached, he will not mess up.
But the situation was obviously different today, he had just walked into the garden, and before he had slipped around, he had to put down the birdcage and hurried back to the main hall to deal with government affairs, and he did not hesitate at all.
The Tang army came to attack, the Gong descendants were defeated, and Silla was in danger, even if the other party was still hundreds of miles away, Jin Yao had to sleep all night and personally deal with all related affairs. He knew that the Tang army was too strong, and if he was a little careless, Silla would be gone, and he would not have a future.
"King, the person sent to contact Zhen Xuan is back!" As soon as Jin Yu entered the door, there were waiting officials saluting and reporting.
"Knots
How's that going?"
Zhen Xuan didn't follow. ”
Jin Yao was about to sit down, when he heard this, Meizhou frowned, and his heart was angry, but his voice was still steady, "Isn't this king's recruitment condition high enough to make him excited?"
Jin Yao knew that Silla alone would not be the opponent of the Tang Army, so he sent someone to contact Zhen Xuan.
In fact, as early as the first time he learned that the Tang army was coming to attack the army, Jin Yu had the idea of joining forces with Gong and Zhen Xuan.
It's just that at that time, I felt that the Tang army was only 100,000, and it shouldn't be too difficult to fight, and the bow descendants might be able to block the other party.
Even if it can't be stopped, under the fierce battle between the two sides, the strength of the Tang army will be consumed a lot, and it will be Silla who will benefit at that time. More than 200 years ago, Silla's counterattack on the Tang Dynasty's Andong Protectorate is very likely to be repeated. For Silla, this was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army's offensive was so rapid, and the army of the Bow Descendants was like window paper, which was broken with a single stab. While Jin Yao was extremely shocked, he was also so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night, even if he walked the birds in the garden, he only showed his composure and showed it to his subjects.
Only you know that every step in the garden is a thrill!
If you can't unite with Zhen Xuan, Silla will be in danger.
Therefore, knowing that Zhen Xuan had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he still sent his confidant ministers to meet with the other party, proposing that as long as the other party was willing to fight the Tang Dynasty together, he would crown the other party as a general, give the other party a correct name, recognize the other party's military and political forces, and agreed that after defeating the Tang army, the division of the territory of the Gong descendants can also be discussed.
At that time, the Huangchao disaster was in the north and south of the river, and the Tang Dynasty court had been conquering for many years, but it could not be pacified, so there was the idea of recruiting peace. And the condition proposed by Huang Chao is just to be a town festival. If it weren't for the traitors who were in charge and did good things out of it, the Yellow Nest Rebellion would have been a different way.
Jin Yao is willing to give General Zhen Xuan an official position, and does not interfere in his territory, what a big payment?
Unexpectedly, Zhen Xuan didn't agree!
"How can Zhen Xuan say that he is determined to be a minion of the Tang Dynasty?"
Jin Yao's face was gloomy, "With the current power of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I won't give him a choice of minions, right? At most, let him be a peace dog! I think he Zhen Xuan is not an ordinary person, so he is willing to lose the huge power that he has worked hard for ten years of war? Rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, it is not suitable to use it on him!"
Prime Minister Pu Ruiqian arched his hand and said: "When the minister left Shanzhou, Zhen Xuan said that if the king could recognize his identity as the queen of Baekje and give him military rations of one million stones, he might consider ......"
"This is absolutely impossible!" Jin Yao was furious, slapped the table hard, and stood up angrily and shouted.
Acknowledging the identity of Baekje after Zhen Xuan, it is not Zhao'an, the two of them are not even the most basic monarchs and ministers, they are completely equal, tearing the soil and sealing the country.
There are no two heavens and no two lords in the country, and if Jin Yu even accepts this, it is tantamount to ignoring the legitimacy of his own kingship. Zhou Tianzi of the Central Plains did this, and there is no need to say much about what happened to him.
Pu Ruiqian also felt that Zhen Xuan's request was unreasonable, if it weren't for the imminent attack of the Tang Army, he would not have reciprocated these words at all. After reporting this matter, seeing that Jin Yu had no will, Park Ruiqian planned to retire.
He saw that Jin Yao's face was very bad, and he was obviously angry with Zhen Xuan, so he didn't plan to stay longer, so as not to be affected by anger.
Pu Ruiqian felt that no king could accept Zhen Xuan's conditions, not to mention that Jin Yao was still a wise monarch, Zhen Xuan simply didn't know what to do.
Just when Pu Ruiqian was about to push out of the palace gate, Jin Yao, who was cloudy and uncertain on the throne, suddenly said, "Give it to him!"
Pu Ruiqian's heart was shocked, and he quickly stopped, and looked at Jin Yu with an inquiring gaze, "King?"
Jin Yu bit the words very heavily, even so, he couldn't hide his trembling voice, "Give him the throne!"
