Hearing about Liaocheng, Li Shimin grabbed the file and looked through it.

According to Wenyue Pavilion's analysis, the city lord of Liaocheng has had an excellent relationship with the Tang Dynasty border army in the past two years, and he has made huge profits from the annual trading of leather goods, medicinal materials, and grain.

The city lord hinted more than once that even if the Tang army came to the city, he and his subordinates would not fight the Tang army.

Li Shimin asked Liu Mu: "If this is not a war, it is equivalent to an internal surrender, what do you think?" ”

Liu Mu replied: "I think that the probability of Jian'an City surrendering is greater, according to the plan of the Ministry of War, there is nothing to do in Goguryeo north of Maoshan, and the west of Maoshan is the place where Wenyue Pavilion vigorously strives to fight, that is, I hope that once the war starts, with the river as the boundary, there will be no war in the north of the river." ”

"Second brother, I'll think." Li Shimin was a master strategist, and he knew the plans of the Ministry of War at that time.

Now that the Pure Land of Yuan is coming to Chang'an, Li Shimin naturally has to consider how to maximize the interests of Datang.

Why did the Pure Land come to Chang'an.

The people sent out by Wenyue Pavilion definitely couldn't go to the Yuan family's head to look through it, and the content they reported was the result of speculation.

After all, they are allies, and the Yuan Pure Land still has a considerable scale of welcoming ceremonies when they come to Chang'an.

It was greeted by a four-grade official of the Ministry of Officials, and then washed the dust and feasted, and then sent to the State Guest House.

After entering the State Guest House, Yuan Pure Land didn't even change his clothes, and immediately instructed the people around him: "Go and find a few officials stationed in Chang'an, and then secretly contact our secret nails." ”

There were a total of 29 officials sent by Goguryeo to Chang'an, of which seven were noble officials of high rank, but only five of them were summoned by the Pure Land of Yuan.

"What about the other two?"

The surname of the resident Lianqiang official of Goguryeo Chang'an is Cui, and his name is Cui Donglin.

Hearing Yuan Pure Land's question, Cui Donglin stepped forward and replied:

"On New Year's Day, one man fought with the Persians in the Qujiangchi Painting Boat, and both fell into the water and died. Two months ago, another person participated in a polo match in Chang'an East City, and was trampled to death by a horse after accidentally falling off his horse. Both deaths were officially reported, and a request was made to send someone to fill their positions. ”

After listening to the rhetoric of the little aristocratic official stationed in Chang'an, Yuan Pure Land said that he didn't know about this matter, and he had never asked about the stationed officials.

This shows that the officials of Wangcheng are derelict in their duties.

Yuan Pure Land said: "The matter of the transfer is not under the control of this official, I asked you to come here to ask, what special information is there in Chang'an, or a major event?" ”

"Yes, every month, we will record all the newspapers in Chang'an, the public announcement of the government affairs of Chang'an Chengdong City, and the people's inquiries about politics, and then send someone back. There is an archive of all the newspapers, as well as a breakdown of the excerpts of important events. ”

Cui Donglin motioned to the officials beside him to bring up the rattan box.

One rattan box contains very neatly bound newspaper clippings, and the other contains official documents of various events written by Choi Dong-rim and other Goguryeo officials, as well as various official records.

Looking at the two rattan boxes full of pure land while feeling a headache, so much he has to check carefully, and he doesn't know when to see it. On the other hand, he kept praising Cui Donglin for his meritorious work in Chang'an, and things were done well.

"Then tell me about something special and related to my Great Goguryeo."

Cui Donglin got up: "The first thing, the Tang people have a very powerful road, made of stainless steel, and then the huge steel dragon is galloping on the stainless steel road, the speed is amazing, and the number of goods transported is also very amazing." ”

"Does this have anything to do with our Great Goguryeo?"

"Yes, this technique is very clever and can be used by my great Goguryeo. Not to mention technology, Xia Guan heard that the Tang people planned to repair the fine steel road to Luoyang within three years, then to Qizhou within seven years, to Yanzhou in about ten years, and to thirty miles west of Liaodong City after thirteen years, which is exactly the border of our Great Goguryeo. ”

Yuan Pure Land hugged his beard, he didn't know much about this.

However, according to Yuan Gai Suwen, the Great Goguryeo can fight with the Tang people after ten years, and now it has been endured for two years.

Thirteen years later, it seems that events did not affect the northern expansion of Goguryeo.

"Well, you have done a good job, there is a detailed report on this matter and sent to the royal city."

"Yes."

"Well, let's talk about the second thing."

Yuanjing Tuxin said that since there was an official document sent back to the royal city, then there would be relevant people to discuss the matter.

"The second thing, I heard that the Japanese people had a joint talk, they ceded Tsukushi Island to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang people sent many people to garrison Fukuoka and face the army of Yamato across the sea, but the Japanese people of Tsushima Island were unwilling to back down, and the Tang people sent an envoy to the former Shin Nara Asuka Pavilion to negotiate again, and the result is not known."

"Chikushi Island. Good! "The Pure Land of the Yuan also fought with the Wa people, and the Tang occupation of Fukuoka Castle was half good and half bad for the Great Goguryeo.

Fortunately, Great Goguryeo could negotiate with the Tang people, also send troops in Fukuoka, and then get half of Tsushima.

The bad thing is that the Tang Dynasty occupied Tsukushi Island, and once the Great Goguryeo and the Tang people turned their faces, then the soldiers of Tsushima Island and Fukuoka were a real threat to the Great Goguryeo.

The Pure Land of the Complex asked again: "So, is it the entire Tsukushi Island?" ”

"Cui Donglin" is north of Kumamoto on Tsukushishima occupied by Yamato Province, and south of Hayato is the territory of Hayato, and they are not under the control of Yamato Province. ”

After seeing the Yuan Pure Land nodding slightly, Cui Donglin continued to report: "The willow horse who went to the far west of Rome has returned, and just returned to Chang'an a month ago, and it is rumored that the willow horse went to Rome to the sea route of 100,000 miles this time, and brought a boatload of gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"The willow horse is back, okay, prepare for the heavy gift." The first reaction of the Pure Land of the Yuan was that once Yanagi agreed not to ask about Baekje, then the Great Goguryeo dared to send troops to Baekje.

Cui Donglin hugged his fists: "Xia Guan thinks that the mind is the most important, and there may not be a few objects in the Tang Dynasty Palace that make Liu Yuma's heart move." ”

"Well said, you can do it."

"Yes, the next official will do it, and if it goes well, you will have the opportunity to visit Liu Juma within ten days." Cui Donglin's answer made Yuan Pure Land very satisfied, and after praising him repeatedly, he signaled Cui Donglin to go back and rest first.

Cui Donglin retreated, but he was not in a hurry to leave, he went to the junior official of the Ministry of Etiquette at the State Guest House, carefully inquired about the recipes of the guests, and asked about various other arrangements.

All this is naturally reported to the Yuan Pure Land, and the Yuan Pure Land is praised in his heart.

Yuan Pure Land instructed the people who came with him: "There is nothing to do in the past few days when I have just arrived, I want to take a look at the chronicles of the Tang people, you can go around Chang'an City later, remember not to violate the laws of the Tang people." ”

All the petty officials claimed to be.

Outside the door of the State Guest House, several petty officials from Goguryeo stopped Cui Donglin and asked Cui Donglin to take them to Chang'an City to have a look.
