Regarding the upcoming meeting of the Three Kingdoms, some people in Chang'an City have put forward different opinions. They believe that the situation is already like this, and we should kill it non-stop. Only the land in our own hands can
The safest land.
Li Shimin did not adopt a series of opinions within the imperial court. Although Li Shimin often caused trouble for Li Xiang, he was just a little dissatisfied in his heart. If he wanted to cause trouble for Li Xiang on such a major matter, then Li Shimin would be too shameless.
The pattern is up.
Li Shimin knew very well why Li Xiang did not send troops to fight over it. After all, in previous memorials, Li Xiang had said several times that he would fight over it. Now that there is a meeting of the Three Kingdoms suddenly, it must mean that there have been changes in the front line.
In history, Li Shimin was also a talented and strategic emperor. Naturally, he could understand what Li Xiang meant. It must be that the time is not right now. It is very easy to defeat him, but what should he do after defeating him? Goguryeo and the other two countries
What should we do with the refugees? Should they be raised by the people of Tang Dynasty? This is obviously inappropriate.
What's more, after they are all occupied, it will be the land of the Tang Dynasty. If we wield the butcher's knife against the common people again, it will be difficult to say in the history books in the future. Now we are just your suzerainty, and the nobles of the two countries still have a lot of possessions.
Of course, the power to bully the common people was given to the nobles of the two countries.
Therefore, no matter how loud the voices within the imperial court were, Li Shimin kept all these memorials without any intention of approval. Some officials saw that Li Shimin did not want to say more on this matter, so they shouted loudly and backed down.
No one wants to go against the emperor.
Five days passed quickly. The meeting place at the junction of the three countries has been built. The kings of the other two countries came very quickly. Li Xiang did not let them wait any longer. It was no longer necessary.
If you use bayonets to show off your arrogance, why can’t the hundreds of thousands of northern troops still be able to show off?
During these five days, the armies of the two countries were in a state of high tension. The Tang army would conduct exercises at every turn and regarded the two countries as imaginary enemies. The border areas were also full of smoke. Many people thought that the Tang army
They were about to kill them, but who knew that they were just wandering around the border area, but even so, many people in both countries were frightened to death.
Many people, including the top leaders of the two countries, were ready to give away one of their sons. After all, they were aware of the situation in the Kingdom of Goguryeo. Once the Tang army came over, everyone would be a slave.
Well, in their impression, slaves were not qualified to carry on the family line, so before the Tang army came to kill them, sending one of their sons overseas could be regarded as leaving some incense to the family.
Fortunately, they haven't done this yet. If they really send the people back, according to the current danger of sea navigation, they might be sent directly to the fish's belly. Now that Li Xiang has arrived at the negotiation location, he represents the Tang Empire.
You don't really want to start a war. If you want to start a war, just send a small official to come. Why let His Highness Taisun take action personally?
"I have met His Highness Taisun."
When the kings of the two countries saw Li Xiang, although according to etiquette they did not need to kneel down, they both had to bend down and bow. This was how the vassal country treated the suzerain country.
"Please get up, you two. We don't have so many rules. This is an informal meeting. It will never happen in the history of Datang. Let's all relax a little. These are some snacks I brought from Datang.
You two probably haven't had it before, let's chat while eating."
What surprised the two kings was that they thought that Li Xiang would give them a slap on the wrist when he came up. They didn't expect that Li Xiang was so kind. However, the two kings did not feel relaxed at all. Li Xiang's kindness should be shown temporarily.
Yes, can they not know what Goguryeo has become by Li Xiang?
"Thank you, Your Highness Taisun."
The two of them sat respectfully opposite Li Xiang. There was no one else in the tent. Except for a guard each of the three of them carried, the other people were all twenty meters away. This was also Li Xiang's request.
, after all, the two men were submissive at the moment, and they were not willing to let their subordinates see it. If they were to see it and spread it back to the country, it would harm the prestige of the two men.
"I just said you don't have to be reserved. After all, we are all one family. Your two countries have been bullied by Goguryeo for a long time. The Tang Dynasty has seen it, and now it will help you pull out this nail.
You should be happy, why should we be so reserved when we are together?"
Although Li Xiang's words were spoken openly, these two people still felt so awkward in their hearts. Goguryeo had indeed bullied them, but it was just bullying. Now you have led the troops to kill them. No one is happy with it.
, it is possible to destroy our country at any time.
There is no choice now. If there was a choice, these two people would probably still want Goguryeo to exist.
At most, Goguryeo only wants some benefits. What you want here is the entire country. Although you haven't said it yet, you have used hundreds of thousands of troops. Is it really just for show?
"What His Highness is saying is that the country of Goguryeo is really abominable. It has been bullying our two countries overtly and secretly over the years. If Datang had not made the decision for us, the situation between our two countries would be miserable now..."
No matter how reluctant I am mentally, I still have to act when it's time to act.
The King of Silla said while wiping away his tears. Li Xiang was wondering next to him, are you a natural actor? How come you can shed tears just by saying this? This is really strange.
"Yes, yes, we have been looking forward to Master Wang's arrival for a long time. In fact, we should have come to see His Highness Taisun a long time ago, but His Highness knows that our country is also unstable. This time when the two of us came, we specially brought him from China.
I received a batch of supplies, and Your Highness Wang accepted it with pleasure."
The King of Baekje was a little slow to react, but when it came to supplies, Li Xiang's eyelids were raised. It's useless to just talk empty words these days. He has to get something that can touch people's hearts.
The King of Silla also thought about this and quickly took out Li Dan from his sleeves. Li Xiang pretended to refuse, saying that the country has everything, and you just need to live happily, but the one in his hand
He didn't move at all slowly and took the gift order directly...??
