Chapter 2911 Wait for a sunny day with no wind in Dengzhou, and then send a messenger to your father
At least the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty have always been intelligent, just like after Gaochang was destroyed, it became the location of the Xizhou Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
And the Tang Dynasty will definitely not give up the land here to others.
Cheng Chubi was very satisfied with Li Ke's reaction. At least His Highness Prince Qi was not a silly boy who gave away his own things.
"But my dear brother, have you ever thought about it? Once the two countries are destroyed, only Silla will be left."
"Do you think Silla is a good bird?"
Li Ke was following Cheng Sanlang's train of thought and asked subconsciously.
"...Brother Chu Bi, what do you mean, Silla is not a good bird?"
"Of course, Silla originally made its fortune in six small villages near the current royal capital. For hundreds of years, it has been conquering the south..."
"Don't forget that Silla is so small now, but before that, during the period when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established, almost the entire peninsula was owned by it.
Reaching Hakusan Iwon in the north and Pyongyang, Seoul, Baekje and Goguryeo in the east, they were so suppressed by Silla that they didn't even dare to breathe."
"If your father destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, and the King of Silla begged your father to return the territories that originally belonged to Silla, do you think your father would give it to you or not?"
"After all, your father personally conquered Goguryeo, but he went there under the pretext of seeking justice for Silla, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."
"..." Li Ke looked at the location drawn by Brother Chu Bi on the map he had taken, and he breathed in frequently with toothache.
"This, this is too much... If we really give it all to them, wouldn't our Datang's hard work be in vain?"
"Haha..." Cheng Chubi tapped his fingers on the table.
"If the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to return it, do you think Silla will have any resentment in its heart?
If Cheng was in charge of Silla, he would definitely continue to be submissive to the Tang Dynasty, and then bewitch those Goguryeo and Baekje remnants to raise troops to rebel."
"Anyway, your elites from the Tang Dynasty cannot stay on that peninsula. Silla took the initiative to help the Tang Dynasty wipe out the rebels..."
"With a few more annihilations, that peninsula may become Silla's territory, and those territories were all ruled by Silla in the past.
After occupying it, I will give you three melons and two dates from the Tang Dynasty as compensation, or in other words, oh, I’m sorry...
Even though those people love Silla, I have no choice but to accept them back into the embrace of Silla..."
Looking at Brother Chu Bi with his legs spread out in front of him with an innocent expression on his face, he looked like a scumbag who had pulled up his pants and refused to acknowledge his fault.
Li Ke suddenly felt confused, but when he thought about the Silla ministers whom Brother Chu Bi had talked to before, none of them were good.
If Silla is really left behind, if Silla is really shameless in the future and asks her father for land and people, should his father respond or not?
It really echoes Brother Chubi's words. Fortunately, Silla is gone...
"But brother Chu Bi, although Silla was destroyed, their monarchs and ministers have fled to our country, the Tang Dynasty. We must not ignore them."
"It doesn't matter, of course it does. Didn't the Khan of the Eastern Turks also escape to our Tang Dynasty? Your father is still fed and fed well."
Cheng Chubi laughed and patted Li Ke on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's have a good chat with the British Duke first, and then go back and meet the Silla monarchs who luckily escaped and came to our Tang Dynasty."

Li Ji looked at Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke who were drinking tea to moisten their throats. At this moment, he also fell into silence.
Yes, as a famous general who founded the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji was naturally not a brainless person. As the Minister of War who attached great importance to intelligence work.
Far better than Li Ke and most others, he knew how the vassal states surrounding the Tang Dynasty felt about the Tang Dynasty.
Similarly, Cheng Sanlang's pros and cons analysis has also touched his old heart, which usually beats very steadily.
"What do you want, my dear nephew?" Li Ji asked Cheng Sanlang after stroking his beard for a while.
"My nephew's idea is of course to wait."
"wait?"
"Yes, when His Majesty left Dengzhou, he said that we, the Dengzhou Navy, currently need to take on the heavy responsibility of transporting grain, grass and baggage to all places in Yingzhou."
#####
"... Therefore, we cannot seek justice for Silla for the time being. Of course, we in the Tang Dynasty will not sit back and watch Silla being destroyed by Baekje and Goguryeo without doing anything."
"Please rest assured that we will send a messenger to convey this sad news as soon as possible.
I believe it won’t be too long before His Majesty will issue a decree.”
Seeing His Royal Highness Prince Li Ke sitting at the top, Cheng Sanlang standing aside was talking.
Hearing the news, Jin Bitan and Jin Yuxin, who had come here in joy, turned pale.
Jin Bitan, who had a withered face and even his smile looked so faded, gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Cheng Sanlang.
"Third General, now the Baekje and Goguryeo rebels have not yet gained a stable foothold in our Silla lord. As long as the Tang Dynasty is willing to raise an army, our Silla monarchs and ministers will raise their arms and shout, and there will definitely be a cloud of followers..."
"Okay, okay, I know that, but the problem is that most of the boatmen of our Dengzhou Navy are about to go out to sea to transport baggage, so we don't have enough manpower to help you at the moment."
After hearing Cheng Sanlang's words, which were obviously excuses, Jin Yuxin almost lost his temper and twisted his nose.
He was about to speak, but he saw Cheng Sanlang looking at him with a smile after saying this.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Jin Yuxin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and finally bit his lip without saying a word.
Originally, I wanted to use this product as a chicken to worship the monkey, so that the Silla monarchs and ministers who clamored for the restoration of the country would be more honest. But now it seems that there is no chance.
Jin Bitan sighed deeply and saluted Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke again.
"...In that case, my lord, I have thanked His Highness the King of Qi and the three generals for their righteous deeds, and we will take our leave first."
"Well, go ahead, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, you two must take good care of the Silla monarchs and ministers who have fled. Don't let them starve or freeze."
"Don't worry, little Taibao Cheng, I will obey your orders." Li and Xu followed the two men surnamed Jin out of the room after accepting the order.
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was responsible for playing the role of mud and wood, and Brother Chu Bi was responsible for the talk.
As for Li Ji, the wily and scheming general of the Tang Dynasty, immediately after hearing the advice of Li and Cheng, he claimed to be ill and stopped seeing guests.
He directly entrusted the important task of swaying the kings and ministers of Silla to the hands of these two young people, saying euphemistically, I believe in you.
In fact, it is very typical that if you have merit, it must be my wise guidance; if you are blamed, of course it is you young people who are talkative and unreliable.
"Brother Chu Bi, when will we give my father the news?"
"Why are you so anxious? It's freezing and snowy. What if our messenger from the Tang Dynasty is freezing and hungry? We have to wait until the weather is warm and sunny with no wind before setting off."
"...Brother Chu Bi, do you think there can be days without wind in Dengzhou?"
