"Zicheng, if you don't go to the barracks today, what are you doing here?" When Chen Fei came to look for Li Shimin, he had just returned to the palace after dispersing, and before his buttocks were hot, he heard a report from the eunuch, saying that Chen Fei wanted to see him, so he had no choice but to summon him.

Chen Fei smiled slightly and said the reason for today. "Your Majesty, the minister is here for the affairs of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla."

"Oh? What are your thoughts? It won't be to persuade me to give up sending troops, right? Li Shimin grinned to himself, picked up a book and read it, obviously not paying much attention to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was a little helpless when he saw Li Shimin's indifferent attitude, and the memories of his previous life told him that although the Tang Dynasty successfully defeated Goguryeo and Baekje, he finally made a wedding dress for Silla, so that later an extremely narcissistic nation was born on the Korean Peninsula, and the whole universe was almost their Smecta.

Although Datang is a bit perverted under his invention in this life, I can't guarantee whether Silla will shadow us behind our backs. After all, Chang'an is more than 1,700 kilometers away from the Korean Peninsula in a straight line alone, and if you walk there, it will be at least 2,000 kilometers, and it will take more than a month to walk.

What Chen Fei has to do is to eliminate these accidents as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not here to stop His Majesty from sending troops, but wants to discuss something with His Majesty. You see, can you secretly gather troops on the border and delay the dispatch of troops? ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin put down the book and looked at Chen Fei, and said meaningfully: "Zicheng, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Uh...... Your Majesty, you see, now is the time for Goguryeo and Baekje to storm Silla, according to this situation, if the three continue to fight, Silla will definitely not last long, and once the grain and grass in the city are eaten, it will not be far from defeat. Why don't we sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit, and wait for Baekje and Goguryeo to conquer Silla before sending troops? In this way, wouldn't a large area of Silla be incorporated into the territory of our country? ”

That's right, Chen Fei is the idea of catching cicadas and yellow finches under the pretext of praying mantis. Since Goguryeo and Baekje jointly attacked Silla, why not let them fight a little harder? When the two sides are almost fighting, Datang will make a strong debut, reap the greatest benefits at the lowest cost, and it is best to take the opportunity to take Silla as well, because this country is honest now, and it will definitely not be a peaceful lord in the future.

After listening to what Chen Fei said, Li Shimin squinted at him, and then said: "Zicheng, if I do what you say, why do you teach me to claim to be the Heavenly Khan?" ”

Then don't do what the Khan does, wouldn't it be more awesome to include all the surrounding countries into his territory and be the only emperor? Chen Fei secretly complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what Weichen said. If we attack Silla directly, it will be shameful for the world, but if Goguryeo and Baekje attack the royal capital of Silla, it means that Silla was destroyed by Goguryeo and Belle, and the territory we sent troops to attack is all Goguryeo and Baekri, and has nothing to do with Silla, so how can this be shameless? Your Majesty, we are helping Silla. ”

"What if the Silla royal family escaped by luck and was not killed and captured alive by Goguryeo and Baekje? What should you do with them royalty? Will the land be returned, or will it not be returned? ”

Chen Fei had already talked about Li Shimin's question, smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the dead country, how can they still let them speak, escort them to Chang'an, and say that 'come to Chang'an to suppress the shock', and then take the territory of Silla into the territory, forgive them and have nothing to say, the people who died in the country, how can they say more?" I'm sure they'll understand their situation. ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin opened his mouth and laughed, pointed at Chen Fei, shook his head and said, "Chen Fei, Chen Fei, I found that after all these years, you are still that out-and-out little bastard!" When it comes to bad ideas, count you as the best! ”

Chen Fei was immediately unhappy, what is a bad idea? I'm all thinking about Datang, what's more, shouldn't Cheng Biting Jin be the number one on the list of bad ideas? When did it become him?

"There is some truth in what you said, you go back first, and Rong Zhen will think about it again." Li Shimin waved his hand and sent Chen Fei away.

was sent away like this, Chen Fei was obviously a little unhappy, but seeing Li Shimin's thoughtful appearance, he was not embarrassed to disturb him, I believe that Li Shimin was also a little tempted, but he was almost determined.

At this time, it is best to let Li Shimin figure it out for himself, he should not say too much. Seeing that Li Shimin had no other instructions, he also retreated with interest and went to the military camp to join Li Tao and them.

At noon the next day, Li Tao and others were busy preparing weapons, food and grass in the barracks, when people suddenly came to the palace and issued a secret edict to Li Tao alone. Li Tao came back with a strange look after receiving the secret edict.

Everyone was puzzled, but they saw Li Tao sighing depressedly, and then ordered the officers and men of the whole army to put down their work first...... Rest!

So the soldiers went back to their tents in confusion to rest. Just when everyone was speculating whether there was a change, Li Tao gave a few orders, don't be in such a hurry to transport the weapons and grain and grass you need, be clear, don't miss or drip, anyway, something similar to the last time Hou Junji privately detained the thunderbolt fire must not happen again.

On the surface, Li Tao seems to be worried that Thunderbolt will be privately detained like last time, and it will eventually make a big mistake, but in fact, it is ...... It always feels like that's not the case. The thunderbolt has just been shipped out of the warehouse, who dares to detain it privately? Isn't it looking for death?

And why do you have to order everything to be slow? As if deliberately procrastinating?

Chen Fei wandered around the army for a while, and gradually understood Li Tao's thoughts, and at the same time had a guess about the content of the secret rice paper that day - it seems that Li Shimin still can't help the thoughts in his heart! Oh, Emperor!

It was originally planned to send troops from Chang'an City within three days, but now that five days have passed, the army has dragged its feet, and some things have not been handled well, and it is expected that the troops will be sent tomorrow at the earliest, which is twice as long as the original plan.

The Tang army was slow and leisurely, which was very anxious The two Silla envoys who were still in Chang'an, I don't know how many times they ran to the barracks and how many times they ran to the palace in six days, hoping that the Tang army could send troops faster and save their country from fire and water. However, it is of no soft use, if they knew Li Shimin's true thoughts, I am afraid that they would spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.

By the time the Tang army sent its troops, it was already the sixth day. The two Silla envoys were as restless as hemorrhoids on their horses, and they kept urging Li Tao to speed up the march, but they were all exchanged for an indifferent look from Li Tao. No matter how anxious they are, it's useless.

By the time Li Tao led the army and the large army to converge at the border, it was already two months later.
