"You two, I'm going back now. If anything happens, you can talk to them. This is General Liu, this is General Xiao..."
Du Fuwei talked to them casually and introduced Liu Rengui and Xiao Siye to them.
Xiao Siye glanced at the sisters curiously, and thought to himself that the Silla people were weird. They actually let two women be the head of the family. He couldn't complain when he heard that they almost destroyed the country.
Chicken Sichen, how can it be better?
I heard that the current ruler of the Japanese country is also a woman. Well, these small countries are really... He doesn't know how to explain it.
But he didn't want to think about it, isn't it a woman who is now half of Xiao's family? Doesn't he have to ask his great-aunt to make the decision when something happens? It really complied with that sentence. The crow is standing on the pig, and it only sees that others are in trouble.
When the women of the Tang Dynasty became so powerful, I guess not many could stand up to them, right?
While talking, people on both sides greeted each other in confusion.
Kinderman followed Du Fuwei, talking as he walked, "There has been no movement in Goguryeo for a long time. I heard that they are resisting the Turks in the north?"
This news was spread back to Silla by Jin Chunqiu, which attracted the attention of the nobles. They had previously planned to attack Goguryeo with the Tang Dynasty.
Du Fuwei nodded indifferently, "I don't know much about what happened in Liaodong. It seems that Tuli Khan Ashina Duowen led his army to attack Liaodong City.
Don’t pay attention to them, nothing you say will work. In the end, you have to use your swords and guns to speak. I hope Goguryeo crosses the river to attack, so that I can see the mighty army that once defeated an army of millions."
Having said this, Du Fuwei laughed contemptuously. In his opinion, without that useless Yang Guang, Goguryeo would be nothing if it dared to cross the river.
He doesn't understand so many principles, and his strategic and tactical literacy is not as good as Li Jing's.
But he had experienced hundreds of battles, fought against the Baekje people, and seen the Silla army, he felt that Goguryeo had not destroyed two small countries in all these years, and it was probably not much stronger.
He has now moved his Chinese army to Ungjin City, which is almost across the river from Pyongyang City, the royal city of Goguryeo, and he is very greedy when he looks at the other side.
The number of troops under his command has now increased to 20,000, and he can also recruit various Baekje tribes to participate in the war. He has lost the minimum "respect" for Goguryeo.
Kinderman was different. He was still wary of Goguryeo. Hearing this, he said: "I think we should send an envoy to Goguryeo to find out the news. What do you think of His Highness King Wu?"
Du Fuwei thought for a while and felt that it was nothing, but Xiao Siye who was following him came closer and whispered: "Your Highness, Silla has become a vassal state of ours. The decision on sending envoys should be made by the central government, okay?"
The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but it shocked the two men and women.
Kinderman immediately saluted and said: "I made a mistake, please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Du Fuwei laughed and glanced at Xiao Siye, thinking that this guy was a thief and had a lot on his mind.
Well, it's a pity that he is actually a leader, and his surname is Xiao. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to stay with me and come up with ideas?
He was a man with a very flexible mind. He immediately grabbed Xiao Siye's arm and said, "This General Xiao is not a simple person. He is from the Xiao family in Lanling, and there has been an emperor in his family.
It's not bad now. My uncle is the Secretary of the Central Committee in the court, and my aunt is even more powerful. There is no one in Chang'an who doesn't know Mrs. Cheng Guo..."
Xiao Siye immediately blushed and bowed to the Queen in embarrassment, but he was used to it. In the past few years in the army, he had to mention his family background wherever he went.
But in the military, family background is very important, but if you don't have the ability to lead an army, you will be the butt of countless jokes.
When the generals gather, they won't save you any face. Making fun of your family background is simply a daily routine.
Basically, it means, look, he is a descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, but he is very incompetent. Compared to rough people like us, he is just a noble surname.
Xiao Siye's military exploits are not enough to withstand such harm, but no one dares to go too far. Just like being caught by Du Fuwei now, even a few words can't show any malice.
And it did have an effect. Kinderman solemnly greeted him again, "It turns out that he is a member of the Xiao family. I heard from Cui Shijun that the Lanling Xiao family has a reputation and virtue that has never been seen before in ancient times.
We met in a hurry and without any etiquette. I hope Mr. Cui can come to the palace to ask for more advice in the future."
Xiao Siye returned the gift solemnly. This is the good thing about children from aristocratic families. They have been raised since childhood. They will be embarrassed sometimes, but they will never be embarrassed.
While being humble, he also praised the queen's demeanor, which made Kinderman very happy.
It can also be seen that having Xiao Siye guarding Silla is indeed much safer, even better than Du Fuwei coming in person.
The nobles of Silla paid more attention to family background than the people of Tang Dynasty.
.....................
The group of people returned to Jinhaicheng first. Du Fuwei was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed in Jinhaicheng for two days, mainly discussing the northern defense issues with the Silla people and the logistics of the army.
But everyone no longer mentioned the matter of sending people to Goguryeo to inquire. At most, they would send people quietly across the river and capture a few Goguryeo people to come over and ask questions.
Outside, Du Fuwei gathered with the generals to cheer them up.
"Next year when the army turns back, the battle across the river may begin. Yang Guang led so many people out but still failed to defeat them. If we enter Pyongyang City, it will be an unparalleled achievement..."
The generals all nodded in admiration, hoping that General Li would quickly destroy the Japanese country. This time he failed to catch up with Rehu, but if they start a war with Goguryeo, everyone will not worry about the credit.
I only hope that Governor Li will be fair and not leave everyone behind like this time.
It can actually be seen from the words of these people that they do not take the current war against Japan seriously, and feel that if Li Jing leads the army to go out, he will definitely win and return.
If Li Jing comes back in defeat, his situation will be very unhappy, and he may not be able to survive in the army in the future.
.....................
Speaking of which, Li Jing doesn't have that much confidence in himself.
But that's what he was like. He was very nervous before leading the troops and made sufficient preparations, fearing that he would be defeated if he didn't do it well.
But after leading the army to sea, his mood calmed down. There is no doubt that Li Yaoshi has a big heart and is a typical exam-oriented talent. The more critical the moment, the calmer he becomes.
.....................
On August 25, the fifth year of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing led his army to Tsushima Island.
With the arrival of the windy season, Japanese fishing boats no longer venture out to sea, and no Japanese can be seen on the sea. Moreover, last year's war caused a devastating blow to the Japanese navy.
There are not many Japanese on the springboard of Tsushima anymore...
