Zhang Jian put down the seal in his hand, looked at the Silla envoy expressionlessly and said: Are you sure you did not write the wrong seal? Is Queen Seondeok crazy? She is imitating Lu Xiang in writing this "Jue Tang Shu"
Didn't you stop me when I was there? This is the first time I saw words written by Shande on paper. Didn't she use embroidery before?"
"We can no longer stand the oppression of the Tang people. We have had enough of the Tang people's unreasonableness. If this continues, we can only follow in the footsteps of Goryeo. General, not only us, but also the Baekje envoys you will summon later have the same appeal as us.
."
The Silla envoy puffed up his chest. This was also the first time as an envoy that he stood up in front of the Tang people.
"Return to Pyongyang, Preshui, Nihe, Nanpu, Domestic, well, and Bocheng. I will retreat to the north of Yalu River with my army. Da Maorong, are you sure your queen is not crazy?"
Da Maorong shook his robe like the legendary celebrities, sat on a chair and said to Zhang Jian: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had good intentions and despised our late king and despised our queen. A picture of peonies made me happy."
The Queen has not mentioned marriage for ten years, invaded our Yang Tongshan, ignored our country's friendship, attacked our castle, exterminated our Zixu Kingdom, alienated the relationship between our brother countries, disturbed our allies, and subverted our country. Our Queen has not forgotten it.
The Tang Emperor had great achievements in the past, but he was afraid of the country's demise, so he endured it again and again. Instead of blaming the Tang State, he offered generous gifts in the hope that the Tang Emperor would give us a hope of continuing to live for the sake of our obedience.
But none of this has been rewarded. The general's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. After your army was stationed in Nihe, it regarded Silla as its own backyard. They could come and leave whenever they wanted. The Tang Dynasty actually came to Silla.
Ordered to recruit laborers and enslave our people to repair the fortress for the general. Why is this?
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, your envoy from the Tang Dynasty, Liang Poqu, actually defined the territory for our emperor on top of his palace. If he moved an inch eastward, hundreds of miles of land would be wiped out..."
Zhang Jian waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are planning to rebel, right? Just give me a clear answer."
"We are not rebelling, we just want to get back our own land. The Tang people must retreat through the Yalu River..."
"Come here, take Da Maorong out and chop him down." Zhang Jian closed his watch and issued an order to his personal guards.
"I am an envoy. If the two armies are fighting and the envoy is not killed, you can't..." Da Maorong could no longer maintain the demeanor of a celebrity.
"You are guilty." Zhang Jian answered the moment Da Zuorong was dragged out.
The Baekje envoy was brought up tremblingly. He saw Da Maorong's head on a plate at a glance. Zhang Jian, who was sitting behind the case, hit Da Maorong's head with an arrow and said to the Baekje envoy: "
Three days ago I received a military report saying that 110,000 Baekje troops had entered Silla. Now your two armies should have launched an attack in Wonsan, right?
Since you have already started the war, why do you still come to negotiate with me, Datang? Are you humiliating me, Zhang Jian?" "We just want a guarantee, a guarantee that we can live in peace of mind." Although the Baekje envoy looked pale
, but insisted on speaking out his words.
Zhang Jian asked thoughtfully: "Do you think that as long as we retreat to the north of the Yalu River, you can live in peace?" "Of course not, we still need to be bound by a covenant."
Zhang Jian burst out laughing and pointed at the Baekje envoy: "Our Majesty has just concluded the White Horse Alliance with Jieli. In the third year, he completely defeated the Turks. Jieli is still making a living dancing in Chang'an. Are you sure?"
Just want this?
Don't lie to yourself, and don't lie to me. From the moment you start taking action, we have no possibility of negotiation at all. Haha, the world has been difficult for thousands of years. The only thing is war. It is not a big deal. Go back and tell your king.
, since you have started a war, you must not stop it."
The Baekje envoy left the hall in embarrassment and left Pyongyang in a hurry. Zhang Jian's answer made him feel scared. The Tang people were still as tough as ever. Maybe they never knew what fear was.
Zhang Jian beat the gathering drum, and after allocating military affairs, he ordered people to light up the smoke and set up police at the border. This was a necessary procedure. Ever since the Koreans surrendered, this was the border.
Before his beacon was lit, a warning signal came from the beacon tower in the north. After studying the message conveyed by the beacon, he finally understood why the quail-like people of Silla and Baekje had the courage to submit a letter of war to him.
Well, it turns out that the Bohai people and the Shiwei people also rebelled and are fighting against Zhi Shisi Li and the others.
"Twenty thousand people want to eat my 50,000 army? Queen Shande, you think too highly of yourself." Zhang Jian smiled and muttered to the deputy general, then picked up the long sword on the sword holder and prepared to look at it.
Look at the city defense.
Wolf smoke is indeed the fastest way to convey news. Within two days, the Chang'an beacon tower was full of smoke, almost turning the sky into burnt yellow. Warning signals appeared in the southeast and northwest at the same time. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
! Tang Tang fully started to prepare for the battle, just like the emperor said, they are coming!.
What is there to say? Just accept the challenge. Li Jing went to Yumen Pass, Li Ji went to Guannai Dao Grassland, Cheng Yaojin went to Songzhou, Niu Jinda went to Yingzhou, and Li Daozong was in Nanzhao and also received orders to defend Yaozhou and Mengshezhou and
According to the decree of Langqiong Prefecture, Feng An once again took up the post of chief military officer of Lingnan Road and actively prepared for the defense of Lingnan coastal areas. Once the Lingnan Navy suffered a loss, he would take on the important task of protecting Lingnan.
After all the preparations that needed to be done, Li Er looked at the Tang Dynasty Mountains and Rivers in front of him and couldn't help thinking. After carefully weighing all the power comparisons, it was already sunset, and he finally punched Gaochang hard.
, sighed and said to the eldest grandson who had been guarding him: "The rest are not a worry. The army will naturally be able to defeat the enemy. Even if there is a small setback, it doesn't matter. Only Gaochang is too dangerous. As long as the Turks break through Gaochang
, you can enter the grassland along Zikou to the east, and you can knock the pass directly to the south. The Tubo people have become very determined this time. Judging from the news from Xu Jingzong, it is a certainty that they will leave the Black Rock Mountain.
.
Guo Xiaoke is far away in Qiuci, and Xu Jingzong has less than 8,000 troops. He can only defend the city of Rocks and is unable to stop the Turks from advancing eastward. Fortunately, Su Dingfang has made some preparations in Shazhou and Yumen Pass, hoping that there will be no mistakes here. "
"Yun Ye is in Gaochang. I don't know if his camel city has been completed. Otherwise, facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of barbarians, his defensive front is too long, and he will definitely be in big trouble." "At this time, personal life and death are at stake.
It's no longer important. Now that Du Ruhui is trapped in Beiting, it seems to be a good thing. With him here, Yun Ye will be more confident and give it a try to win or lose."
Li Er threw down the bamboo pole in his hand, returned to his seat and picked up the teapot to drink tea. He himself came from fighting with thousands of armies, so he took life and death on the military battlefield very lightly. It is difficult for a general to be thoughtful throughout his life. All he does is kill people.
In this business, you are only allowed to kill people, and others are not allowed to kill you? There is no reason for this. Even if you value Yun Ye, you will never replace him at this time. Once you do this, Yun Ye will never want to be in the court again in the future.
To gain a foothold in the church can only be a dream. How can one take on such a big responsibility without going through the test of life and death?
The chess pieces have been settled, and all that remains is to see the outcome. If this battle is won, Datang will truly be considered an unparalleled overlord.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is at Zhuque's door asking for an audience." Duan Hong walked into the Tai Chi Palace and reported to Li Er.
Li Er bared his teeth and smiled at his eldest grandson: "The old guy is here to laugh at me. Guess what he will say this time? Will he say that I am a tyrant and attract people from all over the world to besiege me? I will attack the Tang Dynasty all over the world.
, the old guy said something."
Changsun frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to see him at this time. If you get angry again, the sky will fall. We can't let these boring comments affect His Majesty's mind at this critical moment."
Li Er shook his head indifferently and said: "Since the last thing happened, I found that my mind has become much broader. No matter how hard Wei Zheng is, he can't shake my mind in the slightest. Duan Hongzhuan sees
Well. It doesn’t matter if you listen to his nonsense, I am indeed a little tired today, so listening to him is also a kind of rest."
Seeing that Li Er had made up his mind, Changsun retreated behind the curtain, ready to come out at any time to repel Wei Zheng.
After a while, Wei Zheng, who was wearing a soap robe, appeared at the door of Tai Chi Palace, took off the ritual knife automatically, and put it on the plate held by Duan Hong. Li Er's voice came from the palace: "That is your last knife."
Glory, please don’t untie it, come in, I want to hear what you have to say today.”
Wei Zheng entered the main hall and automatically signed up to pay homage to Li Er: "Wei Zheng, the gatekeeper, pays homage to our emperor! I wish my emperor good health."
"You're welcome. I'm lucky enough not to be mad at you. If you have anything to report, tell me now. It won't be the little things that happened on your city gate." Li Er didn't move and took another sip.
A sip of tea and waiting for Wei Zheng to start.
"Your Majesty is ridiculous. City Gate Master is also an official position personally selected by Your Majesty. Since it has been established, it means that it is very necessary. All matters, no matter how big or small, are public affairs. How can Your Majesty not take care of them just because they are minor?" Wei Zheng frowned.
rhetorical question.
Li Er beat his head and said to Wei Zheng: "Okay, now that I have received you, let's talk about what happened at your city gate. Who did you blackmail today? I heard that you were so prosperous in office that your body changed.
Being healthy means that I still know people well and make good use of them."
"The minister who came today is indeed not here to talk about what happened at the city gate. I came today to admit my mistake to His Majesty and prepare to resume his post and serve as an observer in Shandong." Wei Zheng said this confidently.
"What? Are you here to apologize and admit your mistake?" Li Er suddenly stood up and checked again to see if he heard correctly.
