The forty-third chapter of glory

If you want to cook good porridge, you need to stir constantly. When Yun Ye was piously preparing to cook a pot of good porridge worth 50,000 dans of grain, officials came to report, and Koryeo's special envoy Ronghua asked to see him.

Yun Ye continued to stir the porridge and asked the official: "Has the Korean special envoy been to the Ministry of War before?" The meaning of this question is that if this woman came here to ask for a favor because she saw Yun Ye himself sitting in the Ministry of War, then there is no need to see her.

"Returning to the general, the Korean special envoy always comes to the Ministry of War as a guest every month. It seems to have become a routine. The last time he came to the Ministry of War to receive him was General Lu." The official specially gave Yun Ye the minutes of the last conversation.

Come out so that he can continue talking to the Korean envoy.

"Look at my porridge, I'll come as soon as I go." Yun Ye put down the spoon, turned around and went to the court. When he entered the court, he saw the Ronghua girl already sitting there. She was dressed very neatly. She was not wearing women's clothes, but

Korean men wear a tall hat on their head, which is tied with a black belt, and have a beautiful knot on their chin. Perhaps this is the difference between men and women.

"Korea Special Envoy Ronghua Nv has met Yun Bingbu!" Ronghua Nv's etiquette is very thoughtful, and there is a hint of solemnity in her voice. This is very different from the Ronghua Nv in Yun Ye's impression.

"It is a great honor for us that Ronghua's special envoy has come to the Ministry of War. Please take a seat." Yun Ye was very polite and polite, so Yun Ye had to greet the guests and ordered the officials to serve tea to Ronghua's daughter.

Yun Ye sat on the main seat and asked Ronghua Nu with a smile: "But I don't know what important matter the special envoy comes to the Ministry of War this time?"

Ronghua girl sat straight and looked at Yun Ye and said word by word: "Ronghua came here this time to continue the unfinished conversation with the Ministry of War. I wonder if Yun Bingbu can consistently continue what Ronghua and Lu Bingbu reached last time.

consensus."

"Oh? Yun has just arrived and is still familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War. However, he doesn't know what kind of agreement the special envoy has reached with General Lu. Yun is all ears."

Hearing Yun Ye's words, Ronghua's eyes became solemn. She was very familiar with Yun Ye and knew that this man did not have the slightest affection for Goryeo. All he wanted was to incorporate Goryeo into the territory of Tang Dynasty. Like Yun Ye

There is no hope for people to plead. From the scorched-earth policy he implemented towards Goryeo, it was clear that he hated the Goryeo people. It was impossible to gain sympathy, so she put aside what she had said to Lu Chengqing and spoke directly.

"The Tang State was a superior state and a country of etiquette, so it was a matter of course to be respected by small countries. Goryeo was only two thousand miles from north to south, so it was a matter of course that the Tang State held the title of minister.

It has been twenty-one years since the king of our country ascended the throne. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Baekje were summoned to serve the king of your country. In the second year of Wude, Gao Yanshou served as the envoy of Goryeo and the war in the Tang Dynasty continued.

I went to your country as an envoy and brought gifts such as silk and linen, porcelain, and jade, as well as the humble credentials of our monarch. The late emperor of your country praised Goryeo's obedience more than once, and he happily accepted the wife of Goryeo.

Concubine, merchants from the two countries are constantly on the road, and the border soldiers look at each other from a distance and salute each other. It can be said that the relationship between our two countries is friendly and harmonious.

In the sixth year of Takeoku, the late emperor of your country celebrated his birthday, and Korea congratulated him with a belt dance. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, who was the minister at the time, beat the drum and shuttled in the belt dance and sang an ode he had written for the late emperor. The guests and hosts gathered together happily, and his majesty said that Korea danced with the belt.

At that time, the relationship between the two countries was as cordial as brothers.

In the second year of Zhenguan, His Majesty ascended the throne, and Gao Yanshou once again went to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy. This time he not only brought the golden harvest, which symbolized a good harvest, but also brought Goryeo's newly written credential. Our Majesty declared his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty in the form of a blood oath. Respectfully, the Tang State used Shen Shuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as its envoy, and conferred the titles of our monarch as Shangzhu Kingdom, Prince of Liaodong County, and King of Korea.

After hearing this good news, everyone in Goryeo was overjoyed, and the nobles of the country were all proud to speak Tangyin. Goryeo selected the richest grain, the most moist jade, and the most beautiful women from the two thousand miles of land to offer them to the country. The monarch of the Tang Dynasty, at that time, there was no war at our border.

Ever since the Ministry of War of Yun invaded Goryeo and caused the appalling tragedy in Liaodong, there had been no war between Tang and Goryeo. If you want to recover the remains of those fallen soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, all you need is a letter of divorce from Your Majesty and a small official, Goryeo. You will respectfully send those remains back to the Tang Dynasty. Why do you think that Yun's military department is willing to take risks and march thousands of miles? One hundred thousand lives in Bisha City were burned by you, there is no trace of Sanshanpu navy, and the people of Baishi City are complaining endlessly. The sky is one foot high, and it is even more pitiful that my king's city has been burned down to hell on earth by the Ministry of War. Why use a famous general like Yunhou when a small official can do it? Why? "

Speaking of this, the Ronghua girl burst into tears, and the officials around Yun Ye also looked at their military department with strange expressions. In the past, they had only seen these achievements from the merit books, but now they seemed more real when listening to the account of the Goryeo envoy.

"Even so, Goryeo still did not dare to break the blood oath it had made. It paid tribute every year and came to court every year. The contributions became more and more abundant year by year. We have almost achieved the goal of gathering the strength of the whole country to serve the country of one suzerain, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. He also appeased the Goryeo envoys and stated that Goryeo was a country that could not be conquered by the Tang Dynasty.

The words are still in my ears, but before the ink is dry, Your Majesty personally leads the army of sixteen tigers and wolves to invade Goryeo again. My God, my Goryeo is suddenly on fire and smoke is everywhere. Cowardly people weep in the wilderness, scholars run away in the mountains and forests, women and pigs In the same circle, men competed with wild beasts for food. Anshi City put up little resistance, but was captured by Marquis Yun yourself. The city was massacred immediately for three days. The Tang army carried women on horseback, with their heads hung on horseback, and returned home victorious, leaving behind only What’s the next Goryeo that looks like ruins?

As the old saying goes, small countries serve big countries. If big countries can treat each other with kindness, we can live as respectful individuals. If big countries don't treat each other with kindness, we can only live like a deer. In a hurry, , taking risks out of desperation, panicking and not choosing the right path.

The request of the Tang State is uncertain, and we know that we will definitely die, so we plan to use our last bit of blood to fight to the death with you, the Tang State, in Liaodong. We are prepared to die, and now we are waiting for you to issue the order to attack.

The strong have everything, the weak have nothing. Fortunately, we still have some courage. Even before we die, we want to eat a piece of the Tang Empire's flesh, so that the surrendered countries in the world can take a good look. This is to use the strength of the whole country. The consequences of serving the Kingdom of God!"

After Ronghua said these words, she bowed and left. She didn't even want to listen to Yun Ye's already thought-out rebuttal. She cupped her hands and took three steps back, then turned around and strode away from the Ministry of War Yamen.

Yun Ye held his chin with one hand and gently tapped the table with the other. This ghost woman has grown to this point. A "Book of Admonition to the Tang Dynasty" said that she is polite, affectionate, gentle and strong. , what on earth is she going to do? She actually wants to incite other small countries to oppose the Tang Dynasty?

I haven’t seen that all the nine surnames of Turk, Tuyuhun, Uighur and Zhaowu are planning to move? Are they going to the far west to build their own new country? What is she going to do?

The officials below the lobby almost held their breath, for fear of affecting Shangguan's thinking. Yun Ye really couldn't figure out what Ronghua wanted to do. He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of the porridge he put on the fire and couldn't help but

He asked the official: "Is my porridge ready?"

The officials looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Yun Ye went to the side hall by himself. He saw that the official was still stirring his lotus seed porridge carefully. The barley in it had melted and was bubbling. It looked like the heat was good.

Just right.

When he returned to the lobby with the porridge, he found that Fang Xuanling was reading Yun Ye's conversation record for some reason. While stroking his beard, Lao Fang praised: "What an essay. There is such a woman in Goryeo, and she deserves not to destroy the country."

ah!"

Fang Xuanling's words stunned Yun Ye for a moment, and he almost dropped the porridge pot on the ground. After quickly putting it down, he looked at Fang Xuanling strangely and said: "Is it possible that such an article can save Korea? What do you think?

?Since Goryeo wants to put his half-starved men and horses in Liaodong, our cavalry should crush them and trample them all to flesh. Then the world will be safe. If you think this is shameful, don't be afraid.

It’s shameful. As long as you give me a hundred thousand troops, I will naturally take back my last cauldron in Kyushu, and you don’t have to bear the bad reputation.”

Fang Xuanling was also a wonderful person. He picked up a small bowl from the table and served himself a bowl of porridge. He smelled the sweet smell of lotus seed porridge and said with a smile: "It's easy to kill them all, but I, the Tang Dynasty, want to do it all."

What are you going to do with the vast uninhabited land? Should you go to Liaodong to reclaim it, or should I go there?

The other words of the Goryeo envoy are nonsense, but one sentence is correct. Why should a famous general like Yunhou work when a petty official can do it? Now in the Jisi Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, there are no less than a hundred Jisi States. Once they are all

When we are determined to die, like that ghost woman said, there is smoke everywhere, and we have to keep putting out fires everywhere. It doesn't matter once or twice. If it is a dozen or twenty times, does Marquis Yun still think it doesn't matter?

The hearts of the people are not with us, and it is useless to return the land. Therefore, His Majesty believes that we only need to take back the four counties of the Han Dynasty, use the Yalu River as the boundary, and no longer march eastward. The armed forces of Goryeo must be handed over, and the Goryeo Kingdom must be handed over.

The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are responsible for providing protection. Once the population of our dynasty becomes rich, they will slowly immigrate to Goryeo and then move the Goryeo people to the west. In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty will cultivate mature land without spending so much money.

Don’t you know the difference between raw land and cooked land?” After Fang Xuanling explained the truth clearly, he started to drink porridge with a spoon, full of praise.

Only then did Yun Ye understand what these big guys wanted to do. Let the Koreans reclaim the peninsula first. After a few decades, when the population in the country increased, they would send the Koreans to the west to reclaim wasteland. Li Erhao

He continued to implement his land equalization system in Liaodong.
