Silla was very anxious, as were Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu. Although they counterattacked the Goguryeo troops under the pretext of recovering lost territory and fought on their own territory, with the advantage of popular support and terrain, they did not have the right timing.
What is the weather? It clearly refers to the climate, but also implicitly refers to the general trend.
Baekje is watching on the side, and its desire to destroy Silla is not dead. It is always urging Jin Yuxin to end the war quickly. If he keeps dragging on with Goguryeo, then the loss of his own strength will be secondary. The key is for Baekje to attack again.
They are really going to be in crisis.
Now Baekje has not attacked Silla again, but Kim Yushin is worried that Baekje is waiting for Silla and Goguryeo to defeat both sides, so that he can take advantage. Judging from the alliance between Baekje and Goguryeo, if a war breaks out next time, it will be very difficult.
It may be that Goguryeo stopped to watch the show, and Baekje acted as the main force to attack Silla.
At first glance, it seems that Silla only has to face one enemy country at all times, but you must know that this is obviously a wheel-and-wheel war, and Silla never stopped from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Jin Yuxin sometimes has self-doubt. Shouldn't he really take the opportunity to regain the lost ground?
When this idea came up, Jin Yuxin immediately killed him. In wartime, it is most taboo for generals to be half-hearted.
Plain City.
To the west of this city is Shuchuan, which is now occupied by Goguryeo soldiers and horses.
The current situation is that Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu are in an awkward situation, because the Goguryeo soldiers and horses are erratic. Sometimes they will stick to it, and sometimes they will simply abandon the city. For Goguryeo, none of the cities here belong to them.
You can rob and leave, leaving Silla with a dilapidated city and decadent people's hearts. This would be very fatal.
The original idea of Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu was that as long as they made an attitude that they would regain their lost territory, Goguryeo would retreat without a fight. Because they both believed that Gao Jianwu was not a fool and there was no need to consume Silla for Baekje.
But Goguryeo did a great job, destroying the occupied city everywhere, robbing people, livestock and food. In this way, even if they could regain the lost territory, all they would get was a dilapidated city, which would not be of any help to themselves at all.
, on the contrary, they also have to consider resettling those poor Silla people.
Fighting is impractical. Once too many troops and horses are consumed, Baekje must be guarded. If not fought, Goguryeo will be allowed to plunder, which is unbearable.
What should we do?
At this time, Jin Yuxin was extremely eager for other forces to intervene and contain either Baekje or Goguryeo.
"We have already sent envoys to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. Until now, no news has come back from the Tang Dynasty. It seems that we have failed." Jin Yuxin looked very ugly. With the power of Silla, it was able to withstand Goguryeo and Baiji.
The pressure between the two sides is actually very great. If you are not careful, Silla will be destroyed.
In the past, Goguryeo was busy with civil wars and rarely intervened in the disputes between Silla and Baekje. However, this time it helped Baekje, which undoubtedly caused great damage to Silla. It would not take five years to fully recover. But the problem is that Baekje will
Give Silla time?
Jin Yuxin didn't know, he couldn't guess, or in other words, he didn't want to guess such bad things.
"We can only save ourselves." Jin Chunqiu said: "We hope that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to help us, but it seems that it is not possible now. At the moment, we have to consider whether to continue to attack Goguryeo, or to confront Goguryeo here. Or, withdraw the troops."
When it came to retreating, Jin Chunqiu was very unwilling to do so. He insisted on regaining the lost territory, and naturally he did not want to go back in disgrace.
Kim Yoo-shin asked, “What did the people we sent to contact Yeon Gae So-moon say?”
"The other party refused to join forces." Jin Chunqiu bit his lip and was in a very bad mood. It can be said that Yeon Gaesumun is their big back-up man. As long as Yeon Gaesumun is willing to help, their current situation will be much better.
Moreover, Gao Jianwu would also withdraw his troops and return under pressure from Yeon Gaesumun. However, Yeon Gaesumun's refusal to join forces meant that they lost an ally who could attack Gao Jianwu from the rear.
Very bad, very uncomfortable.
"Why!" Jin Yuxin was furious, "We helped him kill Gao Jianwu, wouldn't it be good for him to become the King of Goguryeo? Isn't this his ambition?"
Jin Chunqiu also couldn’t figure out why Yeon Gae So-moon refused.
Liaodong.
"Brother, why did you reject the Silla envoy?" Yuan Jingtu asked Yuan Gaesumun the same question.
In response, Yeon Gaesumun replied: "Stop dreaming. Silla just wants to use us to contain Gao Jianwu. It is too stupid to completely break with Gao Jianwu for Silla. You have to know that in front of us
, that is, the Tang Empire
.Once we agree to join forces with the Silla people and break out a war with Gao Jianwu, the Tang Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to watch. No matter whether we win or lose, our vitality will be severely damaged. Even if I become the King of Goguryeo by then, then what will happen?
What can be done?
Emperor Tang was greedy and he would definitely take this opportunity to attack us. By that time, how much help do you think Silla can give us?
They are begging me now. When I kill Gao Jianwu and become the king of Goguryeo and the Tang army attacks us, I will beg Silla. But at that time, do you think Silla will help us against the Tang army?
The answer is obvious.
In addition, I suspect that the purpose of the Silla people is just to use me to force Gao Jianwu to retreat, and they have no intention of supporting me in killing Gao Jianwu. They think I am easy to deceive."
Yeon Gaesumun's tone was full of ridicule and quite disdain for the Silla people.
"That's it, I understand."
"Just understand. Don't worry about Gao Jianwu's affairs. Our task now is to train the soldiers and prepare to deal with the Tang army at any time."

Yuan Jingtu thought for a while and asked: "Brother, what if the Tang army doesn't plan to attack us?"
"Wouldn't that be better?" Yeon Gae Suwen sneered: "We can take this opportunity to grow and kill Gao Jianwu in one fell swoop."
"Brother is right!"
Gao Jianwu was not aware of the fact that the Silla people were preparing to secretly unite with Yeon Gaeso Mun, but he was very happy that Yeon Gaeso Mun never made any small moves behind his back. Sometimes, he even thought about it, if Yeon Gaeso Mun could live in peace
As long as you become your own general, everything from Baekje to Silla must submit to the feet of Goguryeo.
In fact, they might not be able to protect themselves and defend Goguryeo under the intimidation of the Tang Emperor.
Pyongyang.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for us to continue to consume with the Silla people. All the captured cities have been plundered, and food and livestock, including slaves, are being transported back. It is better to withdraw our troops and continue to consume. I am worried about Yeon Gaesumun.
He will take the opportunity to attack." Eulji Mundeok said.
"You are worried for a reason, then do this." After saying that, Gao Jianwu hummed: "Fuyu Zhang wants to use me to consume Silla. He is really smart. I will not let Fuyu Zhang get his own way.
Let’s face Silla.”
"yes."
His goal has been achieved, and he robbed a lot of things without spending much. Moreover, there is no need to worry about Silla's revenge, because Baekje is now Silla's mortal enemy, and they can't even provoke him.
Gao Jianwu had an inexplicable expectation that if he killed Yeon Gaesumun in the future, he would be able to join forces with Baekje to destroy Silla first, and then Baekje to complete their great cause. By then, Goguryeo would also have a certain ability to protect itself in the face of the Tang Empire.
The more I think about it, the hotter my heart becomes.
