Chapter 1139: Procrastination?

After the banquet, the queen of Silla also left the palace in a hurry and returned to her residence, and immediately summoned E-sac and Kim Yu-shin to discuss the matter, but when she told Li Shimin and Li Xiu's decision today, the two important ministers of Silla also showed silent expressions.

"What is the meaning of Datang's move, let us return the land of Baekje and compensate us with the land of Goguryeo, is it really to mediate the contradiction between our two countries?" When Queen Silla saw that the two of them did not speak, she couldn't help but show an eager expression at the moment, she was very confused now, and she didn't even have the most basic judgment, which is also a common problem of women, even if she is a queen, she is easy to lose her square inch when she encounters things.

"Your Majesty, this is definitely not as simple as it seems, at the beginning, we occupied the richest land in Baekje, if we return these lands to the other party, it will definitely increase the strength of Baekje, and the threat to us in the future will only be greater!" Jin Yuxin finally said at this time, he is a military general, and naturally he is more focused on analyzing problems from a military point of view.

"General Jin is right, the land we occupy is not only rich, but also borders the heart of our Silla, if it is returned to Baekje, Baekje can completely wave troops in the future, and even threaten the royal capital, and although the land on the Goguryeo side can compensate for our losses, after all, it is too far away from the royal capital, unless we move the royal capital westward, but this price is too great!" At this time, Yi Sai also opened his mouth and said that Yi Sai was a civil official, and his status in Silla was only below that of the Queen of Silla, which was equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his words were also very weighty.

"Then what do you mean, we can't agree to Datang's proposal?" Seeing that the two confidant ministers had the same opinion, Queen Silla slowly calmed down and said.

"It's not easy to talk about, since Datang has put forward this idea, he must have a follow-up plan, and we are originally a subject country of Datang, if we reject Datang this time, I'm afraid it will bring us endless trouble in the future!" At this time, the second priest frowned again.

"This is also true, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's troops is really not comparable to our small countries, the last time I besieged Quangai Suwen, I also saw the Tang Dynasty's army with my own eyes, even if it is our most elite army, I am afraid it cannot be compared with them, not to mention the strength of the Tang Dynasty, even Goguryeo was determined by them in a battle, let alone us!" At this time, Jin Yuxin was also a little depressed, he had always regarded himself very highly, and felt that he was a famous general in the world, but after seeing the army of the Tang Dynasty, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and now he has no confidence in the face of the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing the words of the two important ministers, Queen Silla couldn't help but sink in her heart, during this time she also secretly understood the strength of the Tang Dynasty, after all, she could only let others inquire about the news before, but now she can observe it with her own eyes, and the more she observes, the more frightened she feels, especially the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's troops, no wonder that the Turks who were so powerful at the beginning were also determined by the Tang Dynasty.

"Datang is not something we can offend, but we can't give up the land because we are afraid of Datang, right?" After a long while, I saw that Queen Silla showed a helpless expression and said, and there was even a little unwillingness and annoyance in her tone, as the head of a country, she had never suffered such a grievance.

Hearing the words of Queen Silla, Yi Sai and Jin Yuxin couldn't help but glance at each other, each of them saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes, and after a while, I saw Yi Sai speak: "It's not completely impossible, Datang proposed to let us give up the land we occupy, and compensate with Goguryeo's land, this is not an easy task, it needs to be discussed by the three parties, so I think we can delay the time as much as possible, after all, it is impossible for Datang to garrison troops in Goguryeo for a long time, as long as it is delayed until the Tang army withdraws, it will be easy to do!" ”

"Procrastinating?" Jindeman's eyes lit up when he heard the words of the second sacrifice, and then he said with great interest, "This is a good way, and we can even agree verbally, but we have occupied that land for so many years, and all the people living on it are our Silla people, and it will take a while to relocate, I don't believe that Datang will have the patience to wait for us to move away little by little!" ”

"But will Datang really let us delay time, what if they use other methods to force us?" Jin Yuxin said with a frown at this time.

Hearing Jin Yuxin's words, Queen Silla and E-sac also fell silent again, this may be the sorrow of a small country, a word from Datang may put them in a predicament, but a strong country like Datang has never had such troubles.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw someone rushing to report: "King Qiqi, Datang sent someone to send a thousand pairs of armor and weapons!" ”

"What?" The three Silla queens all showed surprised expressions when they heard the news, and after a while, the Silla queen reacted and said, "Why did Datang give us armor and weapons, and did the person who sent it say anything?" ”

"This ......" saw that the messenger replied after thinking about it for a while, "Your Majesty, the Tang people left after sending things, and they didn't say anything, just that there was still a batch of armor weapons to be sent to the king of Baekje." ”

"What does Datang mean by this, why did you send us and Baekje armor weapons?" Queen Silla was also completely confused at this time, and she couldn't guess what Li Shimin was thinking.

"Your Majesty, let's take a look at the armor and weapons that have been sent, maybe we can see something from them?" At this time, Otsumi opened his mouth to propose, but he was also confused at this time.

Queen Silla also nodded in agreement immediately when she heard the words of the second sacrifice, and then she took the two to the barracks, Li Shimin treated the Silla queen very favorably, and even deliberately set aside a part of the area in Pyongyang for the Silla garrison to live, and the residence of the Silla queen was in the center of the garrison, and the Silla military camp was out of the courtyard.

The Tang people who sent the armor had already left, and when Jin Yuxin saw the armor sent, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression and said: "These are all the standard armor and weapons of the Goguryeo army, could it be that the Tang army gave us the armor and weapons they captured?" ”

At this time, Queen Silla and Osho also found that these armors and weapons were all Goguryeo style, and even some armor and weapons still had blood stains on them, which were obviously captured from the battlefield, but what did the Tang Dynasty mean when they sent a batch of captured armor and weapons?

"I see!" At this moment, Yi Sai suddenly spoke again, but when he said this, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.
