Chapter 2929 You should find something for Cheng Saburo and the others
Seeing His Majesty grinding his teeth sometimes, being happy sometimes, and muttering something in a low voice, Zhao Kun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Come to think of it, His Majesty has been planning the war against Goguryeo for many years. The curtain has not yet fully opened, but that boy Cheng Sanlang has already been making one big event after another.
Having said that, after His Majesty and his ministers drew red lines for the Dengzhou Navy and the Pyongyang Road March Chief and Deputy Chief.
I originally thought that it would be quiet for a while, but in the end, I never expected that Goguryeo and the Baekje Society would suddenly take action.
With lightning speed, the Silla was directly destroyed.
When His Majesty and Zhu Wenwu received the news in Youzhou, they even thought it was false news. After confirming it again and again, they reluctantly admitted that they had underestimated the relationship between Goguryeo and Baekje when they were dying.
crazy.
Even the Queen of Silla died on the way in fear, but fortunately, her cousin Jindeok ascended the throne with the support of all Silla ministers.
After that, he finally escaped from the encirclement of Baekje and Goguryeo and fled to Dengzhou. After being protected by the Tang Dynasty, his safety was finally guaranteed.
Then, at the request of the Silla people, Cheng Chubi once again reported to His Majesty and received approval.
Nowadays, the remaining defeated generals of Silla have gained their freedom through the redemption of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses.
Take a sea ship and go to Nakuyi Island, let them settle there temporarily and train their soldiers for future plans.
Zhao Kun still remembered that Cheng Sanlang used all kinds of tricks to deal with Goguryeo, which caused Goguryeo to be short of food. In order for Goguryeo to be able to survive under the heavy pressure of the Tang Dynasty.
For food, he joined forces with Baekje to destroy Silla.
Calculating this, the real mastermind behind the destruction of Silla should be Cheng Sanlang.
But now this kid has actually become a great benefactor to the Silla people. I wonder if those Silla people know this cause and effect cycle, tsk tsk...
Just when Zhao Kun was grinning happily, a group of important civil and military officials arrived and reported to Li Shimin the news that armies from all directions had now arrived in Yingzhou.
"The armies from all directions have arrived, so it's time for me to set off. This land in Liaodong is too far north. If we want to wait until all the heavy snow has melted away, I'm afraid it will take two or three months. There is no need to wait any longer."
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, shouldn't we inform the Pyongyang Road Marching Chief and order them to bring in the food and grass as soon as possible..."
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we should find something for them to do, so as not to make any mistakes happen again and cause headaches."
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials nodded in agreement.
Wherever Cheng Sanlang is, problems are likely to arise. This is the consensus reached by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty long ago.
Although most of the mistakes that have been made are positive, and most of them are good news. But the question is, is it okay that the protagonists of this expedition to Goguryeo are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and these important civil and military officials?
Let that kid steal all the limelight, where will everyone's faces go?

On Kuyi Island, although the sky has cleared up and the weather is gradually getting warmer, the snow on the ground has not yet completely melted away.
However, Silla generals Jin Wenying and Na Lianzong were surprised when they landed on this big island for the first time. Of course they came to be surprised by the snow.
What surprised them was the pier of Sakhalin Island and its rather wide, straight and smooth cement road.
"Unexpectedly, even the docks and roads on Kuyi Island were built with cement produced by people from the Tang Dynasty."
"After this cement solidifies, it will be as strong as a rock and must be worth a lot of money..."
"If we, Silla, could have such a treasure in the past to consolidate the city, how could we have been defeated so quickly..."
The two senior officials of Silla sighed deeply in the carriage. The driver of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants who was driving the horses in front couldn't help but feel happy when they heard this.
"What does this mean? You two have just arrived. You don't know that Sakhalin City near the dock is not a big city.
But it is also built entirely with bricks and stones, and it is much stronger than your Silla capital, Jincheng."
After hearing this, Jin Wenying and Lian Zong couldn't help but look a little ugly, but Lian Zong still smiled flatteringly at the coachman.
"...The Tang Dynasty was a kingdom above heaven, and its spending was lavish. How can we, the small states below, compare with it?"
"By the way, brother, may I ask where the boss of the cattle is waiting for us?"
"It's not far. I will take you there now. He is not in the city, but waiting for you two outside the city at the mining area thirty miles to the west."
"Mining area? Could it be that there are mineral deposits near here?"
"You two will know when you get to the place, drive!" The coachman shouted loudly and raised his whip. Soon, the carriage suddenly accelerated and galloped along the cement road that was no longer covered with snow because there were often carriages and horses walking on it.

Shopkeeper Niu Da was staying in the room at the moment, sitting by the iron stove, listening to his men making drawings on the map.
It probably means that the coal reserves discovered in this area are not small. Anyway, they are enough to support the production and life of hundreds of thousands of people here for 30 to 50 years.
The important thing is that this coal mining area is not far from Nakuyi City, which is very suitable for coal production and living.
Shopkeeper Niu Da patted his subordinate on the shoulder and exhaled. "You really got an advantage over those Silla people."
At this moment, a guard shouted loudly outside the house.
"The great shopkeeper, General Jin Wenying of Silla, and Lian Zong have arrived."
Shopkeeper Niu Da opened the door and saw two Silla officials, Jin Wenying and Lian Zong, walking quickly with smiles on their faces.
"I've met the great shopkeeper Niu..."
"You two don't need to be polite. Niu is not an official, so you should not behave like this."
"What did Shopkeeper Niu Da say? You are a member of the Tang Dynasty and the benefactor who saved our lives. It is appropriate for us to salute you."
"Shop Manager Niu, the two of us are here this time on orders from General Cheng San to receive the materials that the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses need to give to us in Silla."
Seeing that these two Silla officials were very polite, Shopkeeper Niu laughed happily.
"That's right. Besides, I happened to have some more good things here. I was wondering when someone from Silla would come to take care of me, so you two came here."
"Come and take a look. There is a large amount of coal buried underneath this mountain forest, which is enough to provide fuel for your Silla immigrants' lives."
"Come on, come on, you two, come in and take a look. There is an account book here. This is the material that our Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank is going to provide to you, the Silla Kingdom."
Spreading out the thick account book, Jin Wenying only glanced at it twice, and her eyelids twitched wildly.
"...that big shopkeeper Niu, why do these supplies actually have prices?"
