Chapter 2827 With this person alone, do you want to pacify a country?
Over the past few days, Silla has been feeling aggrieved, but it has been working hard to fulfill its responsibilities as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
But now, the land route for paying tribute is completely blocked by Goguryeo. As for the sea route, you have to ask whether Baekje and Wa, the two rogue countries who have joined forces to block the Silla sea route, are happy.
Now, Baekje once again launched an unprovoked attack on Silla, destroying more than forty cities of Silla, causing Silla to lose troops and generals, and its strength was greatly reduced.
Originally, Silla wanted to turn to Goguryeo, the most powerful of the three peninsula countries, to help bring justice.
As a result, Goguryeo was simply a scumbag who added insult to injury. It not only detained Silla's important minister Jin Chunqiu, but also demanded that Silla cede a large amount of territory to Goguryeo.
Otherwise, instead of sending troops to help Silla, Goguryeo would raise troops to seize it.
Looking at the Silla envoy who was wiping his tears and crying, all the civil and military officials in the Qingzhou Governor's Office looked angry.
Cheng Sanlang kept squinting his eyes, looking at Lian Zongsu Pan, his eyes rolling around.
On the other side, Shi Li Ji, the governor-general of the governor's office, looked calm and silent, as if the old god was there and did not say a word.
Li Ke, His Highness the King of Qi, who had also been with Brother Chu Bi for a long time, showed a sympathetic expression.
But seeing the expressions of the two men on the left and the right, I could only suppress my emotions and comfort the Lian Zong Su Pan with a few words.
Then he motioned to Li De to accept the letter of credence presented by Lian Zong Su Pan.
He signaled the other party to go back and have a good rest first. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely not sit back and watch the good vassal states of the Tang Dynasty being invaded by those bad people and remain indifferent.
#####
After the Lian Zong Su Pan left, Li Ke first glanced at Brother Chu Bi, and seeing that he was still silent there, he simply looked to the other side.
"Your Majesty, Silla has been invaded by Goguryeo and Baekje and has lost territory one after another. What do you think of this matter?"
Li Ji stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice.
"Goguryeo has always been arrogant and arrogant. It has repeatedly invaded our border towns of the Tang Dynasty, invaded our territory, and robbed our people."
"Before, Goguryeo and Baekje jointly invaded Silla, and His Majesty also issued an order to denounce them. I never expected that now they would return to their old ways and attack Silla again."
"This time, our country, the Tang Dynasty, must be put into operation. Otherwise, the tribes who bowed their heads to our country, the Tang Dynasty, would see the country of the sect master like this."
After hearing Li Ji's explanation, all the civil and military officials agreed deeply with it and echoed it frequently.
Cheng Chubi also nodded, agreeing with Li Ji, the famous elder general.
"The words of Duke Ying are right. Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Japanese countries are collaborating and colluding with each other. They have become a notorious scourge in the northeastern region of the Tang Dynasty."
"Now that Silla is weak, I, the Tang Dynasty, as the sect leader of Silla, naturally have to advocate justice for Silla and send troops to help it to prevent these three scourges."
"Hmm... It seems that Brother Chu Bi, you strongly agree?" Li Ke asked.
"That's necessary. I think Lord Ying must have thought this way." Cheng Chubi nodded matter-of-factly and smiled flatteringly at Li Ji.
Li Ji looked at Cheng Chubi, then at Li Ke, then glanced at Zhu Wenwu in the Governor's Mansion below, and nodded slightly.
#####
Soon, everyone else was swept out, leaving only the three giants of the Metropolitan Government squatting in the room.
Li Ji looked at Li Ke who was hesitant to speak, then glanced at Cheng Chubi next to him, and asked with a half-smile.
"How should I write this urgent report?"
At this time, Cheng Chubi sat directly next to Li Ji.
"Uncle, there are no outsiders now. To be honest, this is definitely a great contribution to our Qingzhou Governor's Office."
"The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have sworn to be incompatible with each other, and the Japanese and Baekje countries are in the same spirit, and they are not just people who listen to orders."
"So, my nephew feels that His Majesty will definitely take this opportunity to raise troops to fight against it."
"But if you want to deal with Goguryeo, you can't fight an unprepared battle. Just mobilizing troops and horses and preparing food and grass will take a lot of time."
"But our Qingzhou Governor's Mansion is different."
Li Ji stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Sanlang, and after a long while he spoke slowly and authentically.
"Why, do you think you can solve the problem with the thousands of troops from the Qingzhou Governor's Office and your gunboats?"
"Uncle, as the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. My nephew, I dare not say that I can 100% solve Silla's crisis."
"However, with the current Dengzhou Navy, it is certain that it will be invincible in the sea. Then, the vast sea is the back garden of my Qingzhou Governor's Mansion."
"But for Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japan, they may have many soldiers and generals, but do they have such sharp gunboats?"
"If they dare to take a small broken boat to the sea, haha... then my nephew, I will definitely fulfill their last wish of being buried in the stars and the sea."
Li Ke on the side heard this and agreed with it.
"Brother Chu Bi is right. Our Qingzhou Navy is now dominated by gunboats. The navies of small countries can only fight at close range and cannot attack from a distance. They are like targets in front of our Datang Navy."
"You can indeed give it a try. I don't know what the public opinion is?"
Li Ji looked at Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke and had to say that their proposal really made this famous general of the Tang Dynasty very excited.
Li Ji, a wily and well-known general of the Tang Dynasty, naturally knew the pros and cons. The important thing was that if he really wanted to rescue Silla as soon as possible.
It is true that the Qingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Manpower and Navy can be mobilized immediately. The mobilization of troops and horses in other places is far less convenient than here.
What's important is that, under Cheng Sanlang's magical transformation, the Dengzhou Navy has become a war weapon that can roam the world unscrupulously.

After the memorial signed by the three of them and Silla's credentials were handed over to the messenger.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke sent the elder Li Ji out of the house very respectfully, and then they looked at each other and smiled, their smiles were extremely weird, like two foxes who had stolen a fat chicken.
When the two of them watched Li Ji leave their sight, Li Ke couldn't wait to ask.
"Brother Chu Bi, what exactly do you want to do, hug the grass and hunt rabbits?"
"Haha, that's natural. The Japanese country has always been at odds with Baekje. Whenever Baekje needs help, or when Baekje's situation is critical, the Japanese country will definitely help."
"Originally, as a brother, I was still thinking about how to attack the Japanese country. I didn't think about it. God is very generous and directly gave us a chance to pacify the Japanese country."
"...Finish it? Brother Chu Bi, please calm down. Our Qingzhou Governor only has many soldiers and horses, and although the Dengzhou Navy has 20,000 to 30,000 people, most of them are sailors."
"With just these people, do you want to bring down an entire country?"
