The monks of the Wa Kingdom seem to be somewhat different from the monks of the Tang Dynasty.

The monks of the Tang Dynasty are committed to purifying the world, influencing the world, and preaching the accumulation of virtue, planting good causes and obtaining good results, and using the theory of the cycle of cause and effect to call on the world to be pious and good, and the monks of the Wa Kingdom are more into the world, more integrated with the ordinary people, they do not seem to promote Buddhism, but to learn various classics and culture in the name of Buddhism, the monks of the Wa Kingdom look more like scholars, they work hard to learn everything related to civilization, and not stop at the Buddhist scriptures.

Of course, there are many objective reasons for this, one of which is a very important reason, the Wa country is isolated on the island, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, so it is difficult for the Buddhism of Tianzhu to pass on to the Wa country, although the monks of the Wa country also chant the Buddha, but their Buddhist scriptures are very lacking, and many Buddhist concepts are afraid that even their monks themselves are not very good, which also caused the monks to have to enter the WTO, because ...... There's no scripture to read.

Because they have entered the world quite deeply, these monks do not look too much like monks, they seem to be very curious about everything in the outside world, they have to ask everything in the end, everything requires a cause and effect, their attitude is more like a hungry scholar desperately absorbing the nutrients of knowledge, no matter what kind of knowledge, they need it.

Therefore, when Li Ji talked about marching and fighting in front of them, breaking cities and killing people, etc., Dao Zhao did not show the compassion and disgust that a monk should have, but he was more interested in the strategy and tactics of the Tang Army, so he pestered Li Ji to ask questions along the way.

The initial effort of being slapped on the back gradually passed, and Li Ji finally realized that the monk in front of him was really ...... Annoying.

asked a lot of questions, Li Ji's head hurt, but he had to pile up a smiling face, trying to maintain the magnanimity and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end, although there were still questions and answers, Li Ji's answer obviously began to be absent-minded.

Until a soldier suddenly pointed to a camp in front of him and shouted in surprise: "We have arrived at Silla!" ”

The whole army suddenly cheered like thunder, and Li Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, found a lame excuse that my house was stewing soup, got rid of Daozhao, and hurried forward to ride away.

…………

Heavy troops were stationed on the borders of the Silla Kingdom. This is the border between Goguryeo and Silla, the two countries have always been at odds, and there are expeditions and invasions from time to time, so both sides are very guarded, but this time because of Li Shimin's eastward crusade, Quangai Suwen mobilized the whole country to fight against the Tang army, and the defenders on the Silla border were also transferred a lot.

When Quangai Suwen mobilized superior forces to pursue Li Shimin, because the rear forces were empty, he took advantage of Silla.

Long before Li Ji captured Pyongyang, he sent a letter to the Silla queen Jindeman, who was worthy of being a hardcore ally of the Tang Dynasty, and agreed without saying a word after seeing the letter, so he mobilized the troops and horses of the country on the same day to launch a surprise attack on the northern border, and beat the Goguryeo defenders overnight, and the border of Silla extended a hundred miles to the north again, and then the Silla army set up a large camp in the new national border, waiting for the arrival of Li Ji's department.

On the lookout platform in the camp, the Silla soldiers saw the dragon flag of the Tang army from a distance, and after confirming that it was the Tang army, they shouted excitedly, and then the whole camp was a sensation, and soon a small group of cavalry galloped out of the camp, the cavalry did not hold weapons, and ran to Li Ji empty-handed, and after saluting, he asked Li Ji about the way he came from in fluent Guanzhong dialect, and then immediately someone turned his horse's head and returned to the camp.

Li Ji and Li Su quickly glanced at each other, and realized that sitting in the chariot was the famous Queen of Silla, Jindeman.

When facing Goguryeo, the lord of Goguryeo, the uncle and nephew had no respect, not only hung Gao Zang for a long time, but Li Su also beat him, but at this moment, after Li Ji and Li Su exchanged glances, the two dismounted at the same time, walked a few steps forward, and when the queen's chariot stopped in front of them, Li Ji and Li Su stepped forward and bowed.

"Li Ji, the general manager of the march of the British Duke Liaodong Road of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Su, the Duke of Jingyang County of the Tang Dynasty, meet Her Royal Highness the Queen of Silla."

The bead curtain of the chariot was lifted, revealing Jindeman's true face, but Li Ji and Li Su didn't dare to look up at her.

According to the Tang Dynasty etiquette system, the queen is a prince, and she is a prince canonized by Li Shimin personally, and Li Ji and Li Su are both dukes, and the title is one level lower than the queen.

In fact, Goguryeo's Gozang is also a prince, if Goguryeo is not so skinny and has a relatively harmonious relationship with the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji and Li Su would not dare to take him seriously.

The two of them bowed and did not look up until they heard a slightly old voice.

"The two ministers of the kingdom are polite, and the king of the religion has no place to be ashamed, so he will be exempt from courtesy."

Li Ji and Li Su straightened up.

Li Su only dared to look at this Silla queen now.

As he had guessed before, Queen Silla was indeed not young, although she had carefully put on a little makeup and seemed to be a woman in her forties and fifties, Li Su could still see from the wrinkles on her forehead at the corners of her eyes and the vicissitudes of her eyes that Her Royal Highness was at least sixty years old.

The queen was dressed very solemnly, and it could be seen that in order to receive the two Tang generals, she deliberately dressed up and dressed up ceremoniously, of course, there was no image of wearing a leather coat and leather pants and wielding a small leather whip. The queen wore a luxurious yellow brocade silk robe, wearing a six-beaded jade crown on her head, and her thin body was completely hidden by the wide robe.

Feng Mu Hanwei swept over the faces of Li Ji and Li Su, and a few smiles appeared on the queen's face.

"The king has heard about the Eastern Crusade, and I have to say that the two have good skills, and the king admires them very much."

Li Ji thanked him again and again.

The queen smiled and said: "Since your army has arrived in Silla, please relax, the soldiers have traveled all the way hard, and entered the camp to rest, this king has sent scouts to investigate, Quangai Suwen did not send chasing soldiers, the two ministers of the kingdom can rest in the camp for a few days, this king will personally send all the soldiers to Jincheng Port, and the naval warship of General Zhang Liang of your country may have to arrive in a few more days." ”

Glancing deeply at Li Ji, the queen smiled and said: "The British Duke General Li dared to lead 20,000 light horsemen to break through the capital of Goguryeo, so bold, so courageous, so graceful, the people of the world admired and shocked, and the invincible name of the king's division, General Li lived up to it." ”

Li Su blinked on the side, and Her Royal Highness seemed to ...... She admires her uncle very much, and her gaze at him is very deep, is the queen ......

Thinking of the appearance of the two sixty or seventy-year-old men who exchanged affection and exchanged autumn waves, Li Su couldn't help but feel numb and shivered.

Oh, the picture is so beautiful......

Li Ji didn't think about it so dirty, and when he heard this, he clenched his fists and explained: "Her Royal Highness the Queen has praised it falsely, and the idea of breaking the capital of Goguryeo is actually ......."

Li Su cut off the words before Li Ji: "...... In fact, General Li had a flash of inspiration and slapped his head to come up with it, and the officers and men of our army also admired him so much. ”

Li Ji turned his head and looked at him in astonishment: "............"

Li Su arched his hand at him very sincerely, expressed his admiration, and then blinked.

The queen smiled, looking at Li Ji with more and more appreciation.

Then the queen got into the chariot and led the way, and Li Ji and Li Su rode on horses and followed closely behind the soldiers, and everyone entered the Silla camp together.

Li Ji turned his horse close to Li Su and said softly: "You came up with the idea of breaking the capital, why did you give it to the old man just now?" ”

Li Su laughed in a low voice: "My nephew just wants to make my uncle more heroic and majestic, maybe my uncle will have a foreign affair, it's really gratifying......

Li Ji was so angry that he wanted to whip him as soon as he raised his whip, but Li Su hurriedly turned his horse and ran away.

Silla had already arranged a camp tent for 20,000 Tang soldiers, and after two days of galloping, the Tang soldiers and horses were too tired to do so.

Li Ji and Li Su were also tired, but fortunately, Queen Silla was a very careful person, and seeing that everyone was tired, she did not lack the heart to arrange any wine banquet, but let the two rest first after bathing.

Li Ji and the others were not polite, and after thanking them, they each went into the camp tent and slept soundly.

This sleep actually slept until the afternoon of the next day, and slept for ten hours, Li Su woke up when the sun was already in the west, stretched a long lazy waist, Li Su was sleepy-eyed, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

It feels like the days of happiness are coming back soon......

After returning to Chang'an, he didn't go anywhere, didn't do any errands, just lay in the yard in a daze, lazy to death.

Outside the tent, Li Su's satisfied sigh was heard, and Fang Lao Wu's voice came.

"Grandpa, Her Royal Highness the Queen of Silla just sent someone to spread the word, if the Grandpa wakes up, please go to the king's tent, and Her Royal Highness the Queen will set up a banquet to entertain the general and the grandpa."

Li Su got up and dressed, yawned and walked out of the camp refreshed.

Fang Lao Wu greeted him and put a fox fur on Li Su's shoulders.

Li Su glanced at him and said with a smile: "After entering the Silla camp, you and your brothers don't have a cheap mouth, right?" Mocking the king of Silla as a woman or something. ”

Fang Lao Wu hurriedly shook his head: "Looking at the majesty of Her Royal Highness the Queen today, the villain and the others are in awe, and they dare not have the slightest rudeness, they walk with their cheeks, and they can't afford to provoke ......."

Li Su nodded and smiled: "Yes, with this awareness, Fifth Uncle, you will definitely live a long life, remember to take care of your mouth, and you must not talk nonsense......"

Fang Lao Wu looked up at him strangely, and then smiled without saying a word.

Li Su was unhappy: "What did you mean by this look just now?" ”

Fang Lao Wu said cautiously: "Eh, grandpa, the villain thinks ...... You're the one who really needs to keep your mouth shut, and you're often angry when you open your mouth......"

Li Su laughed and pushed his shoulder hard: "What are you kidding, you're talking about Zheng Xiaolou, I've always been cautious in my words and deeds." ”

…………

Leading more than a dozen subordinates, Li Su walked towards the king's tent in the big camp. Walked cautiously along the way.

This is not his own battalion, and the 20,000 Tang Army soldiers are now guests, so Li Su is very careful, for fear that if the action is a little more intense, it will attract a rain of arrows and nail himself to this foreign land.

Along the way, he met many patrolling Silla soldiers, most of them did not wear armor, only cloth clothes, holding wooden shields and spears, and after encountering several groups of soldiers, Li Su slowly came to a conclusion.

It seems that Silla is very short of pig iron, looking at their weapons and clothing, there are few of them with full body armor and iron shield and long knives, most of their weapons are wooden, and the Silla people are generally not tall, Li Su secretly estimated that if the Silla army looks like this, then if it clashes with the Tang army, the 20,000 Tang troops under his command can defeat the Silla people in about two rounds of charging back and forth.

Although Her Royal Highness the Queen was very polite, Li Su still couldn't help but think about the worst possibility, he and 20,000 soldiers were in someone else's camp, no matter how friendly the two countries were, after all, they were still two different countries, not my race, and their hearts must be different, no matter when or on what occasion, it made sense.

A very simple assumption, if you wait for a while at the banquet, the Silla female dynasty Li Ji secretly sends Qiu Bo, and Li Ji does not move, and he will not obey the death, or directly say "You are old and ugly, and you don't pee and look in the mirror" or something, the friendly relations between the two countries are likely to completely capsize tonight, and then there will be a bloody conflict......

…………

The king's tent is located in the middle of the camp, and the army of Silla imitates the Central Plains Dynasty in many places, such as the location of the camp, and the layout of the camp, etc., and the camp of Silla is also the same as the camp of the Tang Dynasty, which is spread out in the shape of plum blossoms in the open area, and many camps guard the king's tent in the middle like the stars and the moon.

Xing had greeted him beforehand, Li Su passed all the way unimpeded, and the Silla soldiers he met on the road saluted him one after another, with a very respectful expression, and there was a kind of admiration and reverence for the kingdom of a small barbarian country.

When they arrived outside the king's tent, Fang Lao Wu and the others waited in line outside the tent with great interest, and Li Su entered the tent alone.

The tent was laid out very luxuriously, with a carpet on the ground, a pot of charcoal burned in the middle, and it was warm inside, several beautiful maids knelt on the ground, and when they saw Li Su enter the tent, the maids saluted respectfully.

Queen Silla sat on the main seat, but Li Ji came early, sitting in the guest seat and toasting with her frequently, the two were in a good mood, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Li Su's eyes blinked, a little hesitant to turn around and leave at this time, for the first time in his life, he felt like a light bulb, and the wattage was not small.

But Li Su just woke up and was already very hungry......

So Li Su decided to stay, the two old men are more than 100 years old together, and they must not do anything immoral in front of him, a young and immature young man.

After saluting the Queen of Silla, Li Su sat quietly on the other side, and the maid held the flask and poured him wine.

Silla's dishes are a bit strange, and I don't feel like I'm appetizing just by looking at them, one black thing that I don't know what material is, two black things that look like meat and wood, and one that is the same...... Something black.

Li Su hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk and give it a try, picked up an unknown object and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then pursed his mouth with a strange expression, showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and then swallowed it.

Sour and crunchy texture, but the taste is weird, is it ...... Pickle?

After all, Silla is the authentic and original stick country of later generations, and the national treasure of this country is Kimchi Smecta......

After tasting a bite, Li Su no longer wanted to move, and he had to have backbone to starve to death, and he couldn't wronged himself.

Holding a cup to greet the queen, the queen took a sip and looked at him with a smile.

"I heard General Li say just now, it turned out that the destruction of the capital of Goguryeo was out of the plan of Li Xiangong, but this king looked away and missed the young hero."

Li Su grinned and threw a "you are very angry" look at Li Ji.

"Her Royal Highness is polite, I just had a flash of inspiration and slapped my head ......"

Li Ji suddenly coughed, Li Su laughed twice, and was silent.

The queen looked at Li Su and said: "20,000 soldiers and horses attacked the enemy capital, this kind of courage and courage teaches the people of the world to admire and awe, the Tang Dynasty has produced many heroes, and one generation is stronger than the next. Come, I will wait for the three of us to drink together, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, for the Holy Martial Congratulations of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan! ”

Li Ji and the others hurriedly took a cup and drank it respectfully facing the north.

Putting down the wine cup, the queen smiled and said: "From the standpoint of the Silla Kingdom, this king also wants to thank the two for the surprise attack on the capital of Goguryeo, this battle disrupted the layout of Quangai Suwen, the two sent troops to kill the courtiers in the capital, so that the Goguryeo court was empty, and the state affairs were not smooth, the military spirit was unstable, the blow caused by the two to Goguryeo, Goguryeo said that it was not breathable for three years, and my Silla Kingdom naturally got a God-given opportunity, and the king should be more grateful to the two ......"

After speaking, the queen took a glass and toasted another glass of wine to the two.

Li Ji and Li Su were stunned, and the two quickly exchanged glances.

Everything else is nonsense, but she just said that the Silla Kingdom has a "God-given opportunity", which is unusual.

After the three of them drank a cup together, Li Ji put down the wine cup and asked tentatively: "Her Royal Highness just said 'God-given opportunity', I don't know ......"

The queen smiled: "The two are the ministers of the kingdom, and the Silla kingdom has always been the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty, so this king does not hide from the two, and now the Goguryeo kingdom is in chaos, and the 100,000 soldiers under the command of this king can go north." ”

Li Ji was puzzled: "I just waited for the destruction of the capital, if Quangai Suwen returns to Pyongyang, it will take some time to appease the subjects, how can Your Highness say 'chaos'?" ”

The queen's smile became even brighter: "The two of you and the soldiers are on the road day and night, I'm afraid you don't know that great changes have taken place in Goguryeo, right?" ”

Li Ji and Li Su were stunned when they heard this, Li Su's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "The lord of the country Gaozang succeeded in the uprising?" ”

The queen glanced at him, and her eyes were full of approval: "It seems that Li Xiangong is also involved in this matter, the young hero, it is really extraordinary, sigh why I Silla does not have a talent like Li Xiangong......"

Shaking her head, the queen continued: "Yes, Gozang succeeded in the uprising, in front of the palace gate of the Goguryeo Palace, the chess pieces in Gaozang's ambush cut off the head of Quangai Suwen, and under the leaderless dragons, the 150,000 troops inside and outside the city have sworn allegiance to Gaozang, and now Gaozang has taken over the military and political power of Goguryeo, and is cleaning the remnants of Quangai Suwen's rebellion. ”

Li Su's eyes widened, and he muttered with a shocked expression: "It turned out that he really made it happen, I thought that most of the two thousand five hundred taels of gold would be lost, now I will send it, I don't have to be an official, I can live a lifetime with these golds......"
