"Actually, I still advise the king not to do this." After hearing what the Japanese king said, Li Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "Although we defeated the emperor Caobi and completely crippled this army, in fact, Meinong is really
You have it at your fingertips, but you have to be careful. The Prince of the Sea People is desperate, because this battle has shattered his hope of victory. He also knows that he can't afford it, so he will definitely find a way to attack Seta in a desperate situation. However, as long as he can't hold on,
, Seta can still be defended, but the Prince of Dahairen will definitely not only have this strategy. He will immediately transfer Silla's navy back and attack Dajin from the northeast. If you can hold on to Sanwei City, that's all. But
If we go on an expedition to Mino, we will not only need to divide our troops to guard it, but it will also make Dajin Palace empty. Therefore, once the Silla navy comes to attack, I am afraid that the king will not be able to resist it."
"Haha, Your Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry about this. Even the emperor and grandson of Caobi died in the battle, so what use can Silla's navy be? Besides, my army attacks quickly, with lightning speed.
Attacking Meinong and eliminating the family members of the Dahairen Prince will further enhance my prestige. I believe that more people will submit to me by then. In this way, the stragglers in the navy will no longer be attracted by me.
Put it in your eyes."
After the Japanese king won a great victory, he thought that he would be able to unify this time, and his attitude towards Li Xian immediately changed. Even when he called himself "little king", he no longer called him "little king", but became "I".
In addition, he could not listen to Li Xian's good advice. This made Li Xian, who originally wanted to support him as a puppet, suddenly change his mind. He no longer intervened in the Japanese civil war, but gradually withdrew his power here.
, including Gao Sheji, who made great contributions to the victory of the Japanese king, members of the business group in the Japanese country, and Shangguan Tingzhi, who held a high position in the Japanese country.
Of course, for Shangguan Tingzhi, considering his safety after returning to China, Li Xian did not immediately arrange for him to withdraw to the country, but made arrangements in advance so that he would not be able to leave easily when he left one day in the future.
Due to the special relationship between Shangguan Tingzhi and himself, Li Xian asked the various overt and covert forces in the Japanese country to ensure his safety, and Li Xian even arranged some emergency refuge places.
After more than ten days, Li Xian learned through secret channels that the Japanese navy of Silla had indeed ignored the repeated requests of King Jin Bomin of Silla and insisted on leaving Silla and returning to Japan, breaking the months-long invasion of the Tang Dynasty waterway.
The blockade made the waterway between Datang and Silla unblocked again.
It was at this time that Datang's new naval force was finally established after several months of hard work. It was based on the fishermen and boat people on the river and seaside, and absorbed some retired navy soldiers and wandering soldiers.
Of course, the real backbone of the army were the crew members of the Ming and Tang Dynasties secretly trained by Li Xian. However, these Empress Wu didn't know it at all. They thought it was her newly appointed naval commander Wei Chongyu who really controlled this army.
.
In any case, the reopening of the waterway created very good conditions for the war between Datang and Silla. The food and grass that they were about to run out of were once again abundant, and their morale was quickly boosted. After receiving sufficient supplies,
After receiving supplies, Xue Rengui divided the army into two groups. One group was led by him personally and attacked the Silla territory, putting further pressure on Jin Famin. The other group was led by Quan Nannan, with deep ditches and high bases to prevent the Mohe people from attacking. The situation of the war
A reversal occurred in a short period of time, and the land that Jin Famin had previously recovered was once again occupied by the Tang army.
After hearing all this, Li Xian knew that his mission to Japan as an envoy had been completed. In addition, he was disappointed with the Japanese king, so there was no need to stay here anymore, so he proposed to bid farewell to the Japanese king.
Although the Japanese king and Li Xian are no longer as close as before, after all, Li Xian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of his country still needs to protect the Tang Dynasty for a period of time, so he seems reluctant to leave at this time.
, repeatedly asked to stay, but Li Xian refused the Japanese king's request to stay, using the excuse that he could not stay for a long time due to domestic affairs, and decided to leave the Japanese country after three days and return to the Tang Dynasty.
However, when it came time to leave, the Japanese king tried his best to win over Gao Sheji and promised Gao Sheji the position of general and a large amount of gold and silver, hoping that Gao Sheji could serve the Japanese country.
Gao Sheji was thinking about Li Xian's ambition to plot against Japan and wanted to take care of Shangguan Tingzhi. He originally wanted to agree, but was dissuaded by Li Xian.
When Li Xian listened to Go Design talk about his plan, he shook his head and said with a smile: "She Ji, this Japanese king is not a good person. You are not a Japanese, but you control the military power. Once you help him win in the future, the first thing he will do is
The first thing is to get rid of you. Therefore, staying in the Japanese country will not only fail to realize your plan, but will also ruin your life. Mr. Shangguan is different. He is just a civil servant and does not hold military power. He cannot cause any harm to the Japanese king.
Threat, so after the Japanese king wins, he will be more important. What I am most worried about now is that the Japanese king cannot win, but will be completely defeated. Then Mr. Shangguan will be in danger. After all, the prince of Dahairen now appears as a conservative.
Yes, I especially hate the Tang Dynasty. But I have made arrangements now, and I believe that no matter how big something happens, Mr. Shangguan will be able to escape smoothly."
"The general understands what His Highness means. The general will reject the Japanese king now and return to the Tang Dynasty with His Highness." Gao Sheji knew that Li Xian was reluctant to let him go and did not want to die in vain here. He was even more grateful to Li Xian in his heart.
He quickly clasped his fists and said.
But Li Xian waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Actually, if you simply refused, the Japanese king would feel relieved, because he was also afraid that your prestige would increase, which would affect his status, so he said it to you.
In fact, the purpose of retaining him is not to win the war, because he believes that with the current situation, even a sow can win. He just wants to leave an impression of being eager for talents, but your rejection is
You have helped him a lot, so before he can thank you, he will definitely give you some rewards, and only after you accept these things will he let you go with peace of mind."
What happened next was just as Li Xian expected. Gao Sheji found the Japanese king and simply proposed that he wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty with Li Xian. The Japanese king looked reluctant to leave, but the look of relief that occasionally flashed on his face was still there.
After Gao Sheji refused again, the Japanese king gave Gao Sheji a thousand taels of gold as a gift. Gao Sheji accepted it generously. The Japanese king breathed a sigh of relief and happily gave it to Gao Sheji.
The chicken left Japan. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
