Li Ye received the promissory note from Zhen Xuan, and after reading it, he felt very satisfied. This guy is quite knowledgeable. Among the three countries on the peninsula, Houbaekje is located in the southwest, with its back facing the sea. If Zhen Xuan insists on resisting, she can retreat 10,000 steps. Even if the Tang army cannot be quickly destroyed on land, the Lingnan navy can still land and fight.
For Li Ye, the biggest benefit of Zhen Xuan's surrender was that it saved him a lot of military expenses. If not, once the army went to war in the past, the consumption of armaments and materials including spirit stone fireballs and magic weapons arrows would be astronomical.
In the two battles with Goryeo, although the Tang army won quickly and the casualties were not large, the military expenditure was indeed consumed a lot. When the two armies were at war, the bows and crossbows, the magical weapons in the army, were dispatched along with the formation, showing power at all times, and an hour of fighting would reduce the wealth in the treasury by a layer.
Zhen Xuan made a wise choice in Li Ye's opinion, but the king of Silla, Jin Yao, did the exact opposite. He not only returned his edict to persuade him to surrender, but also attached a letter of appeal.
In this proclamation, Jin Yao denounced Datang for bullying the small and Li Ye for being tyrannical and immoral, and expressed that he would devote all his power to fight Li Ye to the end, even if it was the last soldier, he would never surrender. !
If he only looked at the tough words in the Silla Call to Action, Li Ye would think that this is a powerful country, not a doomsday dynasty that could not even quell the civil strife in the country, resulting in three divisions of the country.
"King Jinyao of Silla, son of King Xiankang Jinjun, and nephew of Queen Jinman of Zhensheng, accepted the throne of Queen Jinman three years ago."
Zhao Polu pulled out the information collected by the Tsingyi yamen, and introduced to Li Ye Jin Yao and the situation in Silla. Man. Not long after the queen succeeded to the throne, there was great chaos in Silla, Zhenxuan rebelled, Liangji rebelled, and the descendants of Gong raised their troops.
"Although it is said that Zhenxuan and Gongyi became kings after Jin Yao came to the throne, the split of Silla actually happened during the period of Queen Zhensheng. In the past few years after Jin Yao took the throne, he has been diligent in political affairs, worked hard to govern, and punished many treacherous and corrupt officials. He also appointed some virtuous ministers, and in the past two years he fought several battles with Korea and Baekje, and the victories were quite fruitful, and the country's morale was boosted."
Speaking of this, Zhao Polu gave the document to Li Ye with both hands, and asked Li Ye to check the detailed records.
Li Ye had a basic understanding of Jin Yao before, and knew the general situation of the other party. Now that he has read the information for a while, he couldn't help but smile, "Looking at this person's experience, he is quite similar to Xuanzong. There are some similarities."
Zhao Polu bowed and said, "It's just that there are some similarities. How can the subjugated king of a small country be compared with His Majesty and Xuanzong?"
Before the Tang army captured Silla, Zhao Polu had already said that Jin Yao was the king of subjugation. It can be seen that he didn't take the opponent seriously, and he believed that the army would win the battle.
Li Ye didn't talk to him, and sat down after returning to Shuai's case, and muttered to himself while looking at the Chinese book in his hand.
He has never underestimated the hero of the world. Although I thought highly of Gong Yi before, it caused me to waste a lot of thinking, but it didn't cause any bad results. Looking at Jin Yao's life experience, Li Ye couldn't help but think of himself.

What Zhao Polu didn't know was that he was the king of subjugation in his previous life, and he started all over again in this life, and everything was different. Years of hard work have brought Datang to a new level. Li Ye may underestimate others, but he will never underestimate those who are similar to himself.
The army went to Silla, with only 100,000 soldiers and horses. With the capture of Goryeo territory, the troops were stationed in Pyongyang, Songyak and other important towns, and their combat power was reduced. Now there is Silla on the left and Baekje on the right—although Baekje has surrendered, after all It is not true that the military is complete and there is no threat at all—the situation is not completely without danger.
There are not many soldiers and horses in the army, this is a limitation.
However, since the imperial dynasty dared to dispatch only 100,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the peninsula, it showed that the troops were sufficient, and as long as no major mistakes were made, there would be no problems. For Li Ye, he had to try not to make any mistakes in decision-making, even a small defeat, he didn't want to experience it.
Now there are two choices before Li Ye.
First, since Baekje had already surrendered, it was time to concentrate its forces and take the capital of Silla, Jincheng;
Second, for the sake of safety, advance the army into Houbaekje, disband the Houbaekje army, confiscate its armaments, wait until Houbaekje is stable, and the army has no flank worries, and then concentrate its forces to attack Silla.
If you choose the first option, if Hou Baekje surrenders and rebels, the army will be attacked by the enemy. Once the war cannot be resolved quickly, Goguryeo will follow in chaos, and the army will fall into the ocean.
Choosing the second plan will give Silla the opportunity to concentrate its troops and deploy a tight defense. If Hou Baekje sets up a dangerous situation when the army goes to defend, and then cooperates with Silla to attack, the situation will be the same. Not good.
Of course, the prerequisite for all these worries is the rebellion of the Post-Baekje Society.
Whether or not Baekje will rebel in the future, Li Ye cannot be 100% sure.
Although in fact it is unlikely to happen, but if Jin Yao and Zhen Xuan reach a consensus, then everything is possible. Jin Yao is a hard-working hero, Zhen Xuan is a hero of a generation, and compared to them, Datang is an alien invader.
There are no eggs under the nest. When a powerful enemy invades, it is not unimaginable that the forces that were previously hostile to each other in the country will temporarily unite as one.
According to this, the situation is very unfavorable for Li Ye.
But when he figured everything out, he wasn't even half worried.
He doesn't need to worry.
No matter what Jin Yao and Zhen Xuan will do next, Li Ye doesn't care.
He naturally has a winning way to deal with it.
...
The sky is clear and the weather is clear, and the wind is breezy. Silla King Jinmo is walking a bird in the palace garden. Although he has only been on the throne for three years, there have been two kings of Silla after his father, and he is now in his forties.
The year of forty is the time when a man is at the peak of his age, mature, stable and vigorous, very suitable for building great achievements.
At this time, he will not be as impulsive as a young man. When he wants to work hard, he will work day and night, and he will not rest after the third watch, and he will often be moved to tears by himself; Spirituality, I just want to keep the achievements of most of my life, and make no mistakes.
In the past three years, Jin Yao has done a lot of things, some of which are related to the future of the country. But he still has an hour every day to rest, adjust his mind, or walk the birds in the garden, or go out to visit the market, and sometimes he will discuss with the great monks when he is in the mood.
He has a very regular schedule, going to sleep at the first watch and getting up at the fifth watch - meditation and breathing adjustment are also in the category of "sleep". He eats quantitatively and regularly, and the busier he is, the less he will consume his energy excessively.
He has great ambitions, so he sees the long-term, and he will not do anything that will harm the long-term way. Even if it will delay some things, as long as it is not so important, it is not as important as him living a few more years and presiding over the country's political situation for a few more years.
He firmly believed that with himself, Silla would definitely recover. So he cherishes himself doubly, and absolutely does not allow himself to age prematurely, only thinking about the present and not thinking about the future.
Before Zhen Xuan led a large-scale attack, he didn't disrupt his rhythm of life. In his words, as long as the king's capital has not been breached, he will not mess up.
But today's situation was obviously different. He had just walked into the garden, and before he had slipped around, he had to put down the birdcage and hurried back to the main hall where government affairs were handled, without any hesitation.
The Tang army came to attack, the descendants of Gong were defeated, and Silla was at stake. Even if the opponent was hundreds of miles away, Jin Yao had to sleep up all night and deal with all related affairs in person. He knew that the Tang army was too powerful, and if he was not careful in dealing with it, Silla would be gone, and he would have no future.
"Your Majesty, the person sent to contact Zhen Xuan has returned!" Just as Jin Yao entered the door, the waiting officials saluted and reported.
"Knot
What's the result? "
"Zhen Xuan refuses."
Jin Yao was about to sit down, when he heard this, his eyebrows frowned, and his heart was filled with anger, but his voice was still steady, "Isn't my king's recruitment conditions high enough to make him tempted?"
Jin Yao knew very well that with the current Silla, he would not be Tang Jun's opponent, so he sent someone to contact Zhen Xuan.
In fact, Jin Yao had the idea of teaming up with Gong Yi and Zhen Xuan as soon as he learned of the fact that the Tang army was coming to attack the army.
It's just that at that time, I felt that Tang Jun only had 100,000 troops, so it shouldn't be too difficult to fight, and Gong Yi might be able to block the opponent.
Even if it can't be stopped, under the fierce battle between the two sides, Tang Jun's strength will be consumed a lot, and Silla will benefit at that time. More than 200 years ago, Silla counterattacked the Tang Dynasty's Andong Protectorate, and it is very likely to repeat itself. For Silla, this is killing two birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army's offensive was so swift and fierce. Gong Yi's army was like a piece of paper on a window, which was torn apart with a single stab. While Jin Yao was extremely shocked, he was also so terrified that he could not sleep at night. Even if he was walking the birds in the garden, he only acted calmly for the sake of his subjects.
Only I know that every step I take in the garden is full of trepidation!
If you can't unite with Zhenxuan, Silla will be in danger.
So knowing that Zhen Xuan had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he still sent his confidant ministers to meet with the other party, and proposed that as long as the other party is willing to attack the Tang Dynasty together, he would make the other party a general, rectify the name of the other party, and recognize the other party's status. Military and political forces, and agreed that after defeating the Tang army, the division of Gongyi's territory can also be discussed.
At that time, Huangchao was in trouble across the country, and the Tang court had conquered it for many years, but it was still unable to put it down, so there was an idea of calling for peace. And Huang Chao's condition is nothing more than being a township Jiedushi. If it weren't for the treachery and sycophant who spoiled good things from it, the Huangchao Rebellion would have looked different.
Jin Yao is willing to give Zhen Xuan the official position and not interfere in his territory. What a great sacrifice is this
Unexpectedly, Zhen Xuan did not agree!
"Why did Zhen Xuan say that he is determined to be Tang Dynasty's minion?"
Jin Yao sullenly said, "With the current power of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I didn't give him the choice to be a pawn? At most, let him be a dog of peace! Thinking that he is not an ordinary person, Zhen Xuan is willing to lose ten years of fighting Huge power earned through hard work? I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times, so it is not suitable to be used on him!"
Prime Minister Pu Ruiqian cupped his hands and said: "When I left Shanzhou, Zhen Xuan said that if the king can recognize his status as the successor king of Baekje and give him a million stones of military rations, he might consider..."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Jin Yao was furious, he slapped the table hard, stood up and yelled loudly.
Recognizing the identity of Baekje after Zhenxuan is not recruiting. The two of them lost even the most basic titles of monarchs and ministers. They are completely equal and seal the country.
There are no two days and no two masters in the country. If Jin Yao accepts this, it is tantamount to ignoring the legitimacy of his own kingship. Zhou Tianzi of the Central Plains did this before, so I don't need to say much about the end.
Pu Ruiqian also felt that Zhen Xuan's request was unreasonable, if it wasn't for the Tang army's imminent attack, he would not have reciprocated these words at all. After reporting this matter, seeing that Jin Yao didn't make any orders, Park Ruiqian planned to resign.
Seeing that Jin Yao's face was very bad, he was obviously very angry with Zhen Xuan, so he didn't plan to stay longer, so as not to be affected by the anger.
Pu Ruiqian felt that no king could accept Zhen Xuan's conditions, not to mention that Jin Yao was still a wise monarch, Zhen Xuan simply didn't know what to say.
Just when Park Ruiqian was about to push out the palace gate, Jin Yao, who was on the throne with an uncertain expression, suddenly said, "Give it to him!"
Pu Ruiqian's heart was shocked, he stopped quickly, and looked at Jin Yao with questioning eyes, "My lord?"
Jin Yao's words were heavy, even if it was like this, he couldn't hide his trembling voice, "Give him the throne!"
