Chapter 1156 A Little Thing

"How dare Fusang want to deal with Silla?" Li Er asked in shock.

Below, the officials also began to discuss that Fusang Kingdom was just a small maritime country, one tenth of the size of the Tang Dynasty, and it actually planned to attack Silla.

Although Silla is also a small country, it is still a country. Even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to attack it, it would still need sufficient troops. An army of 200,000 might not be enough.

Now Fuso Kingdom wants to destroy Silla with only 200,000 troops. Is it possible?

Li Feng was also very surprised, because he knew that the Fuso Kingdom would indeed launch troops against Silla, but that happened during the reigns of Xianqing and Longshuo, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, but it also happened decades later.

At that time, the Tang army helped Silla to destroy Baekje. The remaining forces of Baekje could not ask for help from the Tang Dynasty, but could only ask for help from nearby Fusang.

Fuso had always been troubled by having no excuse to send troops, so at Baekje's request, they dispatched a fleet of 400 warships and a total of 30,000 soldiers.

I just didn't expect that an army of 200,000 was actually prepared this time. However, no one knew whether the 200,000 troops actually reached 200,000, and Li Derjian did not send anyone to conduct a thorough investigation.

"His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the Emperor actually does not want to send troops to Silla, but instead of attacking his own country with an army of 200,000, it is better to use these 200,000 to attack other countries." Orihime said.

Li Er nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Li Feng, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is feasible." Li Feng said solemnly.

"Why?" Orihime and Li Er said in unison.

Li Feng explained: "The Book of Jin?? Biography Thirty-Nine" records a sentence: Although I will not kill Boren, Boren will die by me.

Now this sentence is very appropriate when it comes to Fuso and Silla. Although the imperial court did not use troops against Silla, Silla and Fuso sent troops. This responsibility must be left to us, the Tang Dynasty, instead of being inexplicably burdened with infamy.

I think it is better for the Tang Dynasty to directly send troops to deal with Silla. With our current military strength, it is not better to capture Silla directly. Not only can I completely occupy Silla, but I also own the four cities of Fuso. Wouldn't that be better?

?”

"What you said is very reasonable. Instead of letting Fuso attack Silla, we should fight it ourselves. Even if we have to bear the infamy, we in the Tang Dynasty should live up to the name and bear the infamy, instead of taking the blame for others." Li Er said solemnly.

"Don't dare." Orihime quickly lowered her head and said: "His Majesty Tang Emperor clearly knows that we have not considered that much at all. Please believe that His Majesty Tang Emperor must believe that the Emperor and even the whole Fuso have no intention of wanting Datang to take the blame."

"I don't even dare to measure you." Li Er said coldly.

Li Jing stood up at this time and said: "Report to your Majesty, Fuso must not be allowed to send troops to attack Silla, or any other country."

Li Er asked: "Why?"

Li Jing replied: "My reason is not Lantianhou's, but because the Fusang Kingdom sends troops to attack other countries, and it may not necessarily win every battle. There are many difficulties, such as food, grass, reinforcements, etc.

Besides, when they attack the next city, the imperial court will have to send people to manage it and send troops to garrison it.

But there are many countries in between, will they let us pass? Even if we are allowed to pass, will we need the consent of other countries every time we manage these cities in the future?

Once or twice is fine, but after a long time, will the other party suddenly attack us?

These are all serious problems, so I feel that since the prince-in-law has managed the four cities of Fuso in an orderly manner, why should there be so many uncertain factors and even unnecessary infamy for the sake of adding four more cities."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I agree with General Li Jing. Fusang must not be allowed to send troops to attack Silla."

"I also agree."

"I second the proposal."

"..."

A group of officials such as Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, and Tang Jian all came out to second the proposal. There were also a group of officials from aristocratic families such as Cui Minqian and Changsun Wuji who did not move. Their expressions were extremely ugly.

Because what Li Jing said was so reasonable. Even if he occupied eight cities in Silla, it would be too difficult to defend and manage, and he would probably be recaptured by the other party. At that time, even if he wanted to send troops for revenge, there would be too many countries in between.

It's hard to get over it.

Orihime's face was also very ugly. His plan was ruined in this way. He didn't have much hope for Changsun Wuji and other officials.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, I also think what everyone said is very reasonable. In this case, we can only attack the four cities of Lantian Marquis." Orihime said very helplessly.

Everyone's faces suddenly became very ugly. Li Feng was the Lantian Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Attacking Li Feng's city was equivalent to attacking the Tang Dynasty. Even if he did not attack the Tang Dynasty, it would still be a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty.

How good will their faces look after being slapped in the face?

Li Feng said: "Attack me? Well, then you have to be prepared for my counterattack. I am not someone who just waits to be beaten."

Orihime immediately raised her hands to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Tang. I have one more thing to ask of Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Li Er asked. "Do you still want to send troops to attack Silla?"

"No." Orihime replied, "I would like to ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor not to send troops to help Lantianhou, but to send troops to Fuso. This is a matter within Fuso territory. What's more, Lantianhou was also canonized as a king with a different surname in Fuso Kingdom by Emperor Fuso.

King of the East."

Li Er frowned slightly, looked at Li Feng, and said slowly: "Have you been canonized as the King of the East?"

Li Feng shrugged and said: "I went to sea with His Majesty, and when I came back, I dealt with the Maitreya Cult. I didn't even know about it. What's more, I had never been to Fusang, and they didn't give me official uniforms, official seals, fiefdoms or anything like that?

"

Li Er nodded and said: "It seems so, Princess Orihime, is there any misunderstanding about this matter?"

Orihime said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, everything is in the East Prince's Mansion in Fusang, and all the people and officials know about it. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

Changsun Wuji stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is true. People from the Changsun family have been to Fusang, so they know this matter."

"Auxiliary machine, why didn't you tell me about this?" Li Er asked with a frown.

Changsun Wuji said: "This is a small matter in the first place. I forgot about it after I said it. Not only my eldest son's family, there may be many people present who know about it."

An official from the Wang family in Taiyuan stood up and said: "I know, but I think it is the personal charm of Lan Tianhou, so I don't take it to heart."

"After I also know about this."

"I also know."

"..."

A group of officials from aristocratic families all came out.
