Chapter 27 Both countries are grasshoppers after autumn
Go to war with the Tang Dynasty?
It's impossible, it's impossible now, and it won't be possible in the future. With Baekje's strength here, it would be difficult to defeat Silla, let alone the Tang Empire. Goguryeo is bigger than Baekje anyway, but...
In just a few months, the country was completely wiped out. Yeon Gae So Moon, Eulji Mundeok and others were killed directly in the battle.
Let's fight the Tang Dynasty with our heads.
He knew that the Tang Dynasty did not take action before simply because they did not want to take action. It was not that they could not defeat Goguryeo, but that they did not pay attention to Goguryeo at all. Now that the Tang Dynasty has noticed Goguryeo, Goguryeo is gone.
The fact seems funny, but it is an indistinguishable fact.
The Tang Dynasty really cannot be offended.
Thinking of this, Fuyu Yici suddenly felt sad. Heaven was too far away and the Tang Dynasty was too close. This empire showed unprecedented aggression. Even the insane Sui Yang Emperor in the former Sui Dynasty just wanted Goguryeo to surrender, but this Tang Emperor
, without saying a word, he destroyed Goguryeo without even giving you a chance to speak.
Domineering, really domineering.
The more this happened, the more frightened and sad Fuyu Yiji became. It was really painful to be in the same era as such an emperor. It was just that he could not realize his ambitions, and he had to be careful that the Tang Empire suddenly took action against him.
"Alas." Fuyu Yici sighed, feeling uncomfortable all over.
If possible, he would rather stay away from the Tang Empire.
On the other side, when Silla learned that Goguryeo had been destroyed by the Tang army, they were ecstatic and crazy happy at first. Because Goguryeo was gone, the Tang army could directly help them attack Baekje. What followed was silence, the silence of everyone.
Because the Tang army was too terrifying. In their opinion, no matter how weak Goguryeo was, it was still stronger than Silla. But in front of the Tang army, they were like chickens and dogs, killing them whenever they wanted. How could this keep people from being silent?
Dagaya.
"If, I mean if, the Tang army attacks us, what will happen to us?" Jin Yuxin asked Jin Chunqiu.
Jin Chunqiu didn't know how to answer. Could it be that when the Tang army attacked Silla, we should just kneel down and surrender?
"You are thinking too much. We have always been respectful to Emperor Tang, and they will not attack us."
He didn't even have confidence in what he said. Because the Tang army was so brutal, they directly destroyed Goguryeo without giving them any time to react. It was outrageous, really outrageous. Jin Chunqiu even made an unrealistic thought. If Silla
If we attack Goguryeo, can we destroy Goguryeo within a few months?
The answer is that I think too much.
Whether or not Goguryeo can be destroyed is secondary, but whether or not it can be won is the key.
There is no comparison between Silla and the Tang Dynasty.
"Fortunately, we have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty." Yan Chuan said very happily.
Jin Yuxin frowned. He didn't like hearing such words very much, but he couldn't find a reason to refute. In fact, he was a little happy. If the relationship between Silla and the Tang Dynasty was not good, what should they do now?
I don’t dare to think about it, I really don’t dare to think about it.
"Send envoys!" Jin Chunqiu said: "Send envoys to see Tang generals and ask them to help us block Baekje. If possible, ask them to send troops to attack Baekje."
…
"Yeah." Jin Yuxin nodded.
In the face of the Tang army's terrible record, he didn't even dare to let go.
Remaining silent is the greatest protection for yourself.
Both sides unanimously sent envoys to Pyongyang to visit the Tang Dynasty generals.
It was already August. Xie Shufang had made arrangements for the escort of the last batch of Goguryeo prisoners, and met with Xu Shiji and Li Junxian.
"I will return to Chang'an first to present the prisoners to His Majesty, and I will leave this place to you." Uncle Xie Fangzhi said with satisfaction.
This time, he was the main force in killing Goguryeo. Naturally, he had no share in the remaining two countries. People must know how to advance and retreat, otherwise others will be dissatisfied. Besides, he is not prepared to continue to make meritorious deeds. , relying on the care of His Majesty the Emperor over the years, he has basically made a fortune from the grassland people. This time, destroying Goguryeo, as the end of his military career, is the best choice.
I didn't see that Qin Qiong and others are staying in Chang'an to take care of themselves. It is your duty to be a good person and a courtier, and this is the way to a good death.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
Xu Shiji and Li Junxian raised their hands in congratulations at the same time. They secretly thought that this guy is quite smart. If you stay, you will be too unworthy of a human being.
In this attack on Goguryeo, the two of them caused a lot of hatred for Xie Shufang, and finally made him pretend to be big.
"Haha, I'm waiting for good news from you two in Chang'an!"
Xie Shufang solemnly handed over to them.
The three of them said goodbye, and Xie Shufang got on his horse, shouted "Let's go" at the team, and slowly escorted the team of Goguryeo prisoners away.
Xu Shiji watched Xie Shufang leave and said to Li Junxian: "Envoys from Baekje and Silla are here, who are you going to see?"
"Whatever, what's the difference?" Li Junxian asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Shiji laughed heartily.
Yes, there is no difference at all.
They are all grasshoppers after autumn, they can still jump around for a few days. Now, they are just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's decree.
"Okay, I'll leave those two to you. I will also arrange for people to seal off the Goguryeo Palace. Your Majesty has said that this place can be used as a palace in the future." Xu Shiji said with a smile.
"You guy." Li Jun shook his head angrily and turned around.
After Xue Li waited for Li Junxian to leave, he curiously asked: "General, will your Majesty come here in the future?"
"I don't know." Xu Shiji shook his head, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the palace, and said indifferently: "Whether your Majesty is here or not, this place belongs to your Majesty. Since your Majesty said that you want to preserve this place, then you must preserve it." ."
"yes."
For Xu Shiji, everything His Majesty the Emperor does is right. He is a warrior, and His Majesty the Emperor gives him the opportunity to display his ambitions. As long as His Majesty the Emperor is alive, not to mention saving the Goguryeo Palace, it will be demolished and rebuilt exactly the same. He will do the same.
"Rengui."
"General."
"When you come here to observe this time, you must watch and study hard. It will be the stage for you young people in the future." Xu Shiji said.
"Yes, the general will never forget His Majesty's kindness and the kindness of the General's teachings."
"Okay, go ahead."
"yes."
Xu Shiji stood there for a while and then said sarcastically: "Goguryeo, you really treat yourself like a piece of shit. You don't even listen to what the saint says. You are looking for death!"
…
In fact, he really didn’t understand what these small foreign countries were thinking. The Turks, Xueyantuo, Uighurs, Khitan, Xi tribe, Tuguhun, etc., all died in the hands of the empire. You, a little Goguryeo, face me as a pilgrim, Not only do you not surrender, but you dare to resist. Who gave you the courage?
Death is not a pity!
On the other side, the Baekje envoy and the Silla envoy met Li Junxian as they wished.
The two sides had a friendly talk, and Li Junxian did not make any promises to Baekje. He just told them that Baekje and Silla were both tributaries of the Tang Dynasty, and you should handle your own affairs.
Regarding Silla, Li Junxian appeased them, would give them certain help, and promised not to let Baekje beat them.
The saying goes that when you see people, you talk to people, and when you see ghosts, you talk to ghosts. This is probably the case.
In fact, Li Junxian didn't even want to do a face-saving project. If not for His Majesty's order, he would have brought artillery to kill Baekje and Silla.
The envoys of the two countries first presented gold and silver, and then each left Pyongyang with satisfactory answers and went back to return their orders.
Snap.
After closing the box, Li Junxian said: "Seal these things and present them to His Majesty when our teacher returns to the court."
"yes."
The soldiers immediately put seals on more than a dozen large boxes.
Li Junxian would not be greedy for money, and he was not short of money, so he did not need to let this thing leave a black mark on his career.
