The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

After hundreds of years of development, in the third century, there were 54 tribes in the peninsula, one of which was called Baekje.

Later, due to the weakness of the Central Plains, Baekje invaded Lelang County, the territory of the Central Plains.

The peninsula slowly evolved into three countries, Koguryo, Baekje, and Silla.

For nearly 200 years, there have been wars between the Three Kingdoms on the peninsula.

Due to the strength of Koguryo, Baekje and Silla were shrunk into a small corner.

But what?

It was not many years before Koguryo was glorious, and it was driven to the north of the Han River by the two small countries of Baekje and Silla.

At this time, the lower area of ​​the Han River became the territory of Baekje, and the upper area of ​​the Han River became the territory of Silla.

Regardless of Baekje or Silla, they have always been vassal states of the Central Plains Empire.

The two small countries are capricious, and their relationship with the Central Plains Empire is up and down.

To put it bluntly, when the Central Plains Empire was strong, it fell into the embrace of the empire and became a vassal state; when the Central Plains Empire was weak, it wanted to tear a piece of flesh from the empire.

Seeing that Gaoguli was being defeated steadily by the Tang Empire, Baekje became more careful.

"Master Park, tell me! What does the Tang Empire mean? Don't we need to send troops to help?"

King Wu helped Yuzhang and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Tang's army refused, and threw out the radish (ginseng) we brought, without showing any face."

Pu Qing said.

"My lord, the Tang Empire has become more powerful in the past two years, and its style of conduct has also changed. It's not like before. We only need to send a few radishes.

It will reap a lot of benefits from the Tang Empire.Now, every year we have to hand over 5 taels of gold as a tribute.

We ignored the Tang Empire for two years, and this time we sent envoys to Chang'an, and even the emperor did not see him.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites asked us to pay the tribute directly, otherwise, they would not talk to us. "

An official shook his head.

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. The Tang Empire has really changed. It is no longer good for face, what it wants is tangible benefits.

It completely subverted the style of conduct of the Central Plains dynasties over the years, and it became more pragmatic.It is basically impossible to gain benefits from the Tang Empire in the future. "

Another official spoke up.

"Your Majesty, no matter how you say it, this time is an opportunity. Gaogouli was defeated by the Tang Emperor's army.

Even Heshenggu City was lost, leaving only the two main cities of Wandu Mountain City and Pingyang City.We should cross the Han River,

Tear off a piece of fat from Gaoguli.Otherwise, once the Tang Emperor's army takes Pingyang, we will have no chance. "

A general said.

"No! Now Gaogouli is weak, and the Tang Emperor's army is powerful. Once the Tang Empire is provoked, it will bring us unnecessary trouble."

A civil servant objected.

Baekje is actually a very aggressive small country.

Once you see the benefits, you will definitely make a move.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to worry about the Tang Empire for the time being. One is that the Tang Empire's army has no sailors or ships.

It is still unknown whether they can cross the Yalu River. Even if they want to cross the river, the Tang Emperor's army must transfer ships from the south of the Yangtze River.

Gaogouli invaded Youzhou, only to be counterattacked by the Tang Emperor's army.Moreover, the land of Le Lang has not been recovered by the Central Plains Empire for hundreds of years.

It's not easy to take it back this time.

The footsteps of Emperor Tang's army should have stopped by the river. "

Another general explained.

"My lord, why do we always want to grab the territory of Koguryo, have we never thought about uniting with the people of Koguryo?

At this time, the Koguryo people are in a difficult situation and are willing to join us.That doesn't cost much.

Once united with Koguryo, we can attack Silla.Let the Koguryo people send troops to attack Silla together,

Take Silla first, and then resist the Tang Emperor's army together.Even if the Emperor Tang's army crossed the Yalu River, when they saw the momentum,

Let's surrender to the Tang Empire immediately, and then attack the Koguryo people together.

Obtain Tang Emperor's forgiveness. "

A civil servant named Pu Yushi suggested.

Never mind, this suggestion is quite interesting.

Colluded with Gaoguli, first destroyed Silla, and then rebelled, surrendered to the empire, and obtained the forgiveness of the empire.

The abacus is sound!

Fu Yuzhang's eyes lit up.

Although it is said that King Wu only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but he will not be confused when it comes to major matters. After all, he is still a king.

"My lord, this will definitely offend the Tang Empire. If the Tang Empire doesn't forgive me, what shall we do?"

A civil servant questioned.

Yes!

The prerequisite is that the Tang Empire forgives Baekje for its capriciousness.

"Your Majesty, according to the way the Tang Empire used to deal with it, this method is absolutely feasible. The problem is that in the past two years,

The Tang Empire has changed a lot, and we are not sure about the Tang Empire's way of handling things. When we act, we must think clearly. "

A civil official said.

"My lord, I don't think it's a big problem. Didn't we owe the tribute fee for two years? When the time comes, we will send it to Chang'an.

That emperor will forgive.In the past, the Tang emperor was good at face, but now he is good at profit, so it is easy to deal with it, and use money to make a way out. "

A civil official said.

"My lord, last time the envoys of Gaogouli came and were willing to form an alliance with us, but at that time we were afraid of the Tang Empire,

Refused.Now that they have to form an alliance with the Koguryo people, will the Koguryo people send troops to fight against the Silla people? "

Another civil servant said.

King Wu helped Yuzhang have a big head!

snort!

"The people of Gaoguli are now being abused like dogs by the Tang imperial army. We form an alliance with them, which is to respect them.

Moreover, there are so many concerns between countries, and everything is based on interests.If there is no benefit, no one will do it.

Of course, except for the former Central Plains Dynasty, that is a country with a good face, as long as you bow your head to it a little,

You can get a lot of wealth.However, Tang Empire seems to have learned to be smart now, and no longer cares about face. "

Pu Qing said.

"Master Park is right! The people of Koguryo at this time don't have the capital to be arrogant. If we go to form an alliance with them, we will only warmly welcome them. How can we refuse?"

A general interjected.

"Master Park, you have met that general of Du He, what's your impression?"

King Wu helped Yuzhang and asked.

"My lord, don't talk about it. That general named Du He is actually a little baby, less than 20 years old.

However, he acts tough and is not an easy person to deal with.We took out some radishes, and that kid hated it. "

Pu Qing shook his head.

"Master Pu, have you discovered the target of the Tang Emperor's army?"

asked a general.

"No! That kid was so arrogant that he didn't talk to us at all. A member of our envoys said that Le Lang was our homeland, and that kid immediately turned his back on him and dragged him out to be slaughtered."

Pu Qing said.

So fierce!

Isn't Datang known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness?

How can you kill the envoys indiscriminately?

It's not scientific!

A group of Baekje officials started talking.

"Okay, Mr. Pu brought the envoys to Gaoguli, and must find a way to sign a contract with Gaoguli, let Gaoguli send troops,

Attack Silla together.As long as we win Silla, our territory will increase and our strength will rise to a higher level.

At that time, once the Tang Emperor's army has crossed the Yalu River, Gaoguli will not have to worry about it, the victory will be ours. "

King Wu helped Yuzhang speak with a final word.

Chapter 248 Silla's Thoughts

In the Jincheng Palace of Silla Kingdom:

Queen Seondeok, Kim Deok-man, Prime Minister Kim Chun-chu, and direct general Kim Yu-shin are discussing matters.

"Lord Kim Jong, how is the talk with General Du Ho?"

Queen Kinderman asked.

"Your Highness, the talk was very good. Du He suggested that our Silla Kingdom should send envoys to the Tang Empire,

Form an alliance with it to fight against the two countries of Koguryo and Baekje.Once the Tang Emperor's army crossed the Zulujiang River,

Koguryo will be wiped out in a very short time.However, General Du hopes that our country will contain Baekje. Once the Tang Emperor's army wins,

If Baekje can be wiped out in one fell swoop, its territory will be divided between our two families. "

Jin Zheng smiled.

Kinderman thought about it. After all, once he attacked Baekje, his strength would be consumed.

However, if you don't hold back, the opportunity is rare.

Speaking of which, the queen of Silla is indeed very powerful, and later generations of that country will call her the ancestor.

In the hundreds of years of development of Silla, the development has not been very ideal. It was not until the generation of Queen Seondeok that it showed its strength.

Dare to say no to Baekje, dare to say no to Koguryo.

You know, it's a woman!

The greatest contribution was that Queen Seondeok pro-Central Plains Empire, sent envoys to the Tang Empire, proclaimed her subjects, and made Silla a vassal state.

He also learned the political system and system of the founding of the country from the Central Plains Empire, basically copying the Central Plains Dynasty.

As a result, Silla had the last laugh and finally unified the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, unifying the pace is inseparable from the Tang Empire sending troops for reinforcements.

If the Tang Empire did not send troops, Silla would not be able to unify the Three Kingdoms.

"Her Majesty, the tribute paid to the Tang Empire this year has not yet been handed in, and the envoys sent last time were not even seen by the Emperor Tang."

Jin Chunqiu frowned slightly.

"The Tang Empire is too greedy now. It wants 5 taels of gold as a tribute a year, but the gifts are getting less and less.

Unlike before, we only need to send a few radishes, and we can get a lot of gold and silver treasures from the Tang Empire. "

Jin Yuxin said indignantly.

"In any case, we are a small country and we have no choice. If we don't submit to the Tang Empire, we will be punished by Baekje,

Koguryo's attack.Only by holding tightly to the thigh of the Tang Empire can we survive, otherwise, the country will perish! "
