Colliers said, "Okay, the slave told you." Anyway, it won't be long before everyone knows about it. The imperial court had just received an urgent official letter of 800 miles, and just ten days ago, Silla suddenly raised troops to attack our Tang Dynasty, and now there is all the land south of the water. Before the army, Jin Xingguang once issued an article all over the place, denouncing the mistakes of our Datang. Among them is the words of the captive of the daughter of the lone king. If our Tang Dynasty court doesn't help you clear your name, will you be shameless? โ
Dou Huaizhen scolded bitterly and said: "It has always been Silla who can't live with our Datang, where is our Datang who can't live with Silla?" Presumably, Jin Xingguang really couldn't find any good reason, so he talked about his daughter. โ
Colliers smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that's really the case." โ
Cui Geng's focus was not here, and he said, "Wait, where is the water?" โ
"It's right next to Pyongyang."
"On the edge of Pyongyang? Could it be that before, Pyongyang was in the hands of our Datang? Then why is the seat of Anton Metropolitan Protector in Yingzhou? โ
Dou Huaizhen really knew a lot about this matter, and explained: "After our Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the seat of the Andong Protectorate was indeed Pyongyang. It's just that this place was the original capital of Goguryeo, and there were many casualties on the day the city was broken. Later, as they continued to fight with Silla, more people died. Later, the area was sparsely populated, and the food produced could not be supplied to the army. In order to save money, the Anton Protectorate moved to Yingzhou. โ
"Then Silla didn't take the opportunity to occupy Pyongyang?"
"He dares!" Dou Huaizhen explained: "The main reason why our Tang Dynasty and Silla are at odds is that Silla has taken over the remnants of Baekje and occupied the land of Baekje. For the Goguryeo homeland, Silla only stole a small part of the south. If Pyongyang is captured, won't it be a complete tear with our Tang Dynasty? โ
Only then did Cui Geng understand that he had some misunderstandings about the Tangluo War decades ago.
In that war, in fact, Silla and the Tang Dynasty fought for the ownership of Baekje. For the hometown of Goguryeo, both sides believe that it should be owned by the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Datang took the initiative to take a step back and moved the heavy troops to Liaodong. Silla didn't kick his nose or face and continued to attack.
There was a tacit understanding between the two sides to leave a large buffer zone, which was south of the water.
He said: "So it seems that Silla has only gained a large area of desolate land, and has not gained much? โ
Dou Huaizhen shook his head and said, "Cui Xiang, you are wrong to think so. Talking about the ruins around Pyongyang, that was thirty years ago. After so many years of multiplication, the population there has become considerable. The reason why the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate did not move back to Pyongyang was only because of the instability of the Khitan. Silla made a windfall this time by taking all the land south of the water. โ
Cui Gengdao: "This official still has a question that I can't figure out, Silla is exhausted and has been working hard to reconcile with our Datang, why did he take the initiative to provoke our Datang this time?" Is it just because of Kim Lai Ji? But she's been rescued. โ
Colliers explained: "It's called drinking to quench your thirst. It turns out that Silla can barely survive, and I'm afraid that our Datang will beat him, so of course he has to reconcile with us. But now, the governor of Yeongju, Goji, continued to plunder the population of Silla, coupled with various natural disasters, the Silla court could no longer hold on. If Jin Xingguang doesn't send an army to fight our Tang Dynasty, the people in the country will rise up and attack his Jin Xingguang's palace. โ
Cui Geng said thoughtfully: "In this way, the key to this matter lies in Gao Ji, the governor of Yingzhou......"
Originally, Cui Geng suspected the relationship between Xiaolin Niaoyi and Gao Ji, but now, he is more than eighty percent sure that Gao Ji has colluded with the Fusang people.
The reason is very simple, the main reason for Silla's attack on Tang was Goji's continuous captivity of the Silla population. Jin Lianji's matter can only be regarded as a match.
However, in fact, Cui Geng really guessed wrong this time.
Gao Ji colluded not with the Fusang people, but with Li Longji.
Cui Geng and Li Chongfu, one is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the crown prince of the dynasty, Li Longji must have a very strong reason if he wants them to go out.
Thinking about it, there are only side troubles.
But now that Tubo has just married Datang, and the Turks are so good with Datang because of the wool workshop, where can they find a strong enemy for Datang?
Only Silla!
As a result, Lee Long-gi secretly ordered King Xiang's old team, Go-gil, to wantonly plunder the population of Silla and force him to rebel against Silla.
The people of Fuso are keenly aware of this and take the initiative to cooperate.
But whether it is misunderstood or not, it is a fact that Silla has rebelled now and seized a large part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How do you deal with it? There was a lot of noise in the court.
Some people say that if the small country of Silla Puer offends the Tang Dynasty, it is really mad and stupid. I, the Tang Dynasty, should levy a large army and completely destroy Silla to set an example.
Others, however, thought that they should negotiate with Silla. And quoted scriptures to say that the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo became the fuse for the collapse of the country. Emperor Taizong made three expeditions to Goguryeo, but returned in vain. Now that Silla's strength is not below the original Goguryeo, our majesty can compare to Emperor Taejong? The general of the court can be compared to the famous general of Zhenguan?
Both sides hold their own words and attack each other. The exterminators scolded the negotiators as soft bones, and the negotiators scolded the exterminators for being reckless and reckless, bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Li Xian heard that one head and two were big, and decided to ask Prime Minister Tang Xiu for advice. He has served as the protector of Anton, so he should have some high-level opinions.
People are old and treacherous, Tang Xiu is over eighty, he just wants to be the prime minister for a few more years and enjoy his wealth, but he doesn't want to fight with the Silla people. So, he said a lot of words. All in all, it is okay to appease or suppress the Silla people, and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. However, if you want to suppress me, I am old, so don't look for me if you choose the coach.
Li Xian is so angry, and he said that Qiangang is arbitrary? If I knew how to be arbitrary, would I still ask you?
He asked several other prime ministers besides Cui Geng. As a result, everyone's shoulders were even more slippery than Tang Xiu's, and they all said that Your Majesty, you can just decide this matter yourself. Especially Zong Chuke, who is known as a knowing soldier, actually made it clear on the spot that he had recently suffered a cold and wanted to take a sick leave.
It's not that Zong Chuke is afraid of Silla, but now that Li Xian's time is running out, he really doesn't want to leave the center at this critical moment.
Li Xian wanted to ask Cui Geng, but unfortunately, Cui Geng was not there at this time. Since he was released from Zuo Yushitai, Cui Geng has taken sick leave and has never appeared in the court again, which can be regarded as indirectly expressing dissatisfaction with the court.
Originally, Cui Geng still wanted to stay in Zuoyu Shitai and not come out, but now that such a big thing has happened, it is better not to block the imperial court. Just asked for sick leave, which was a lot of face for Li Xian.
In the end, Li Xian pondered carefully, and this matter had to fall on Cui Geng's head.
Without it, now the Tang Dynasty can be called the important ministers of the army, except for Zong Chuke and Tang Xiu, there are only Cui Erlang and Guo Yuanzhen.
Guo Yuanzhen must guard against Tibet and not leave without permission. If you want to fight Silla, you have to go out with Choi Erlang.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Zheng! โ
"Wechen is here."
"I ordered you to go to Cui Aiqing's house to visit the sick, no matter what way you think, I will invite Cui Aiqing out of the mountain. If so, please don't come...... Hehe, don't do it, you don't want to do it. โ
What?
Let me go and ask Cui Geng?
Zheng secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, I just offended Cui Geng to death, and now I am going to invite him again, isn't this in a hurry to find abuse?
