Chapter 2546 This kind of war that labors the people and hurts the money is definitely the last resort
He even threatened that Goguryeo and I were going to arrest the tribes that invaded our country. You, Tang Dynasty, want to go out and attack the tribes that looted Goguryeo?
Haha, come and do me if you can. Don’t forget, the Sui Dynasty also wanted to do Goguryeo and conquered Goguryeo three times, so what?
Li Shimin copied the emergency military report, his face as heavy as water, especially the words in the reply from Hosak Yanshou in northern Goguryeo, which made Li Shimin's eyelids jump.
In addition, the minister of Honglu Temple on the side also presented a letter of credence from Silla.
In the letter of credence, Silla cried out to the Tang Dynasty, under the instigation and instigation of Goguryeo and Baekje.
In Silla, there was a rebellion between Bidam and Yeomjong, who tried to overthrow the rule of Queen Seondeok, Jin Deokman. Although the rebellion was suppressed by Kim Chunqiu and Kim Yushin.
But the worried Queen Kinderman died of illness due to internal and external difficulties.
In the end, because Kinde Man had no heirs, his cousin King Jin Deok, Kim Seung Man, succeeded him.
As soon as Jin Shengman ascended the throne, he quickly sent envoys to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. After all, Silla was the most loyal Tibetan vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
They paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, but in recent years, their tribute could not leave the peninsula at all.
It is completely blocked by Baekje and Goguryeo. Even if you want to take the sea route, the sea is controlled by the Japanese who have good relations with Baekje.
I hope that the Tang Dynasty can save the weak Silla and prevent Silla from being invaded by Goguryeo and Baekje.
Looking at these things, Li Shimin's expression was very ugly. He originally thought that the world around Datang had already become peaceful.
And I was just about to do something big for the smooth transfer of power to the Tang Dynasty.
Goguryeo actually jumped out again, and even dared to insult the Tang Dynasty, and even dared to cut off the tribute route of the Tang Dynasty's Tibetan vassal states.
"How shameless, Goguryeo, really deceiving me and no one in the Central Plains?!"
After a long time, Li Shimin snorted with a gloomy face.
"Since I ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty has been resting and recuperating. Every time war breaks out, it is because of foreign enemies invading the border."
"But we, the Tang Dynasty, will give up if we don't fight. If we fight, we will definitely win, whether it's the Turks, Gaochang, or later Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, or the Tubo in the west..."
"I didn't expect that Goguryeo, which is far away in the Liao region, would be ambitious enough to peek into the fertile soil of our Datang camp..."
"And you dare to cut off the tribute route of our Tang vassal. If we, the Tang Dynasty, do nothing about this, then wouldn't everyone in the world be in danger?"
Having said this, Li Shimin glanced at the important ministers who came to discuss matters, and then asked in a deep voice.
"What do you gentlemen think should be done?"
Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister of the current dynasty, couldn't help but have a headache, so he quickly took the lead and saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is far away in Yanbei, and we, Tang Dynasty Gangli, are fighting a war with Xue Yantuo. We should rest and recuperate."
"However, Goguryeo dares to invade our borders with the Tang Dynasty, kidnap our border residents, and cut off our tribute route to the Tang vassals. We should send envoys to punish them..."

At this moment, Cheng Sanlang, who had changed into a guard uniform, was standing side by side with Li Ke outside the palace gate in a very low-key and silent manner.
Li Mingda had already accompanied Empress Changsun to the side hall, but she quietly told her husband that her biological father wanted to commit murder or something.
Husband, remember to shout louder, and you will bring your mother to save your husband.
Cheng Sanlang was deeply pleased with his wife's behavior, but as a member of the Cheng family who dared to act, of course it was impossible for her to do that.
After all, a manly man is afraid of being punished, so he actually asks his mother-in-law to step in? Haha, we can't afford to lose this person.
Li Ke stood aside, his expression looked very sympathetic, but his heart was actually filled with strong ecstasy.
Yes, even if his forehead was bruised by his own father with a broom, as long as he could see Brother Chu Bi being beaten and tidied up, he would be happy to have that feeling of relief again and again.
After all, I have been getting along with Brother Chu Bi day and night, and I don’t know how many overt and covert losses I have suffered.
Just as Li Ke was thinking about what kind of words he should use to anger his own father after the discussion inside was over.
Try to make your father full of anger and let Brother Chu Bi have a good taste of the butt stick.
When the time comes, I will definitely call friends, bring good wine and food, and enjoy them cordially, oh no... visit Brother Chu Bi who is physically and mentally traumatized.
While he was thinking about it, he raised his eyes and saw Brother Chu Bi stretching his neck with a very focused expression on his face, listening to the sounds coming from the hall.
Li Ke couldn't help but stretched his neck out of curiosity, just in time to hear the arguing coming from inside.
Although it is not very clear, I still have a rough idea of what is going on, that is, some people advocate sending troops to attack Goguryeo until the opponent is called Grandpa of the Tang Dynasty.
Some people also advocated sending an envoy to scare Goguryeo. After all, the Tang Dynasty had just fought a war before.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty's horse breeding improvement plan is now in full progress. If you want to build a large army, you cannot do without cavalry, but once cavalry is used.
It will definitely affect the implementation of the Tang Dynasty's horse breed improvement plan. We can't let a large number of soldiers ride those pregnant mares on the battlefield, right?
There was such a lively noise inside, but Cheng Sanlang curled his lips repeatedly and his expression became disgusted.
Yes, if you want to deal with Goguryeo, you must not just fight or talk, it can be done in three strikes, five divisions and two.
After all, history has proven that my father-in-law enthusiastically raised an army to conquer Goguryeo, but the result was a lonely one.
After rushing back to Chang'an angrily, it didn't take long for me to fall in love with someone with my eyes closed.
Finally, after the King of Jin became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he repeatedly launched harassing attacks and used long-lasting and high-intensity pressure.
After reducing Goguryeo to pieces, and strangling the support groups of Baekje and Japan to death, it was finally decided to destroy Goguryeo.
But now the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty inside, especially their own father, were so anxious that they wished they could rush to Goguryeo with their elite troops and kill them all, and then directly destroy their capital, destroy their country, and eliminate their sacrifices.
This kind of approach had already been done in the Sui Dynasty before. This kind of war was a waste of people and money.
For Cheng Sanlang, a strategist with rich knowledge of cold and hot weapons warfare, this was definitely the last move.
The real best strategy should be to use various means such as people's livelihood, resources, economy, etc. to attack Goguryeo.
Let Goguryeo lose its potential and motivation for war, and then take action again.
It's like picking up an iron spoon and cracking it against the hard-boiled eggs. You can enjoy the cooked eggs directly while they are hot.
Li Ke saw the change in Brother Chu Bi's expression, and couldn't help but curiously approached him and nudged him with his elbow.
