[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 20 Conquer 05

What the Silla envoys said was like farting. After the invading forces such as Goguryeo and Baekje are driven away, your queen will send a few ginseng, a few salted fish, etc. to the Tang Dynasty as offerings, which is the same as sending beggars What's the difference?

Xiao Wu couldn't help but sneered, and said, "It's more than a thousand miles away to Liaodong, and the soldiers also want to eat..."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the civil and military ministers in the hall became very strange.

The empress and lady of a great country in the heavenly kingdom actually openly asked for military expenses in the court hall, this...

Queen, can you be a little more reserved?

Shouldn't the ministers raise such matters to the envoys of Silla in private?

Most of the ministers who can participate in this court meeting this time are young and strong, who were handpicked up by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu. They twitched at the Queen's wife's remarks, but no one jumped out to question them.

Besides, it's not a day or two that the empress loves to make money. Now everyone in Chang'an City doesn't know that the biggest shareholder behind the chain store 'Zhu Guang Bao Qi', which exclusively deals in luxury goods, is the empress, but no one dares to prove it!

What's more, it's not unreasonable for the Queen's wife to just charge Silla some favors.

The young people who have been brainwashed by the queen's wife's economics class have realized the importance of money. If there is no money, where will the food, grass and military pay come from?Where do the weapons and equipment come from?Where is the pension after the war?

No money, what a mess? !

Do you think that by coming to us to cry and pretend to be pitiful, and mentioning some old friendships, you can let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go all the way to Liaodong with their own dry food?

It's not going to travel, it will kill people, okay!

The young officials in charge of Duzhi had already prepared a draft in their stomachs, how much labor fees should be charged to Silla, and can all travel expenses be reimbursed?

All the ministers exchanged winks, and finally, Xue Yuanchao, Duzhi's right servant, asked, "I don't know if Silla may bear all the military expenses for the Tang Dynasty's troops?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Xu immediately cast an approving look over her, causing the corner of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's mouth to twitch.

"This..." The envoy of Silla was sweating profusely from the green eyes of the civil and military men of the court. Before coming to Datang, he also did a lot of homework. It can greatly influence Tang Huang's decision.Therefore, the Silla envoys prepared a lot of precious jewelry and clothing materials, and prepared to present them to Empress Wu, hoping that she could say a few words for Silla.

Unexpectedly, before the gift was sent out, he met Empress Wu in the court hall and was defeated by the other party.

The Silla envoy couldn't help wiping away his sweat.

It is not up to him as a mere envoy to provide the military supplies of the Tang army, but if he dares to say 'no', the mission of this envoy will probably fail...

"Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, you are kind and merciful. Surely you don't want to see the people of our Silla Kingdom suffer in ruins, right?" They aimed at His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, who seemed to be more talkative.

No, the young Tang emperor looked sad, and complained: "I am ascending the throne, and the country has suffered natural disasters and military disasters... Goguryeo and Baekje are rebellious and bully my vassals. I have the heart to eradicate them! But now the Western Regions Fang Ping, the soldiers have been injured countless times, and the people have been displaced. It is time for all things to be done. Now, there are no soldiers in our country, and there is no large amount of food to reward the soldiers who go out. There is nothing I can do..."

In a word, the people of Silla are people, and the soldiers of our Tang Dynasty are also people. They all have to eat and make money. If there is no money, no one will do things. You understand!

The eyes of the envoys of Silla widened. Nima, the emperor of the Tang Empire, actually cried for poverty to a small country like them? !

This unscientific!

The envoy of Silla was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to continue to sell miserably, and even comforted His Majesty the Tang Emperor...

At this time, the Queen's wife spoke again: "The matter of sending troops is no small matter, the cost is huge, and there are many casualties... I believe that your Highness the Queen is also very headache..."

"How about this, you first write a letter to return to the country, and report the difficulties of my Tang Dynasty to your queen. As for the soldiers, our Tang Dynasty will definitely send them out, but that..." Military expenses and so on, you can figure it out Bar……

When the Silla envoy heard that the borrowing of troops was expected, he couldn't help but look very happy, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, my queen, my queen admires the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly, so naturally she will not treat the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty badly, and I will write it down immediately. Letter, report the details! I only hope that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress will dispatch troops as soon as possible..."

When Wu Xu heard this, she just smiled, "Don't worry about this matter..." If Silla was allowed to be wiped out by the Goguryeo-Baekje allied forces, wouldn't it be nothing for her and Li Xiaojiu?

When the two sides fight to the death and lose both, the Tang army will descend from the sky, so that the benefits obtained will be maximized, right?

When all the ministers saw the indescribable smile on the queen's wife, they couldn't help shaking, and turned to look sympathetically at the Silla envoy who was still grateful for Dade's flattering of the queen's wife...

Take care, dear!

The efficiency of the Silla envoys was quite high. They sent a letter back to Silla on the day after meeting His Majesty Li Xiaojiu. On the fourth day, they received a letter written by Queen Jin Chunqiu and asked to see His Majesty Li Xiaojiu again.

The Golden Queen is a straightforward person (it’s okay to be unhappy, the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces are about to hit the gate of her royal city =. =), not only agreed to the question of military support raised by Datang, but also offered to propose that if defeated All the land occupied by Goguryeo and Baekje belongs to Datang, and she does not want an inch of land in Silla!

"To show our sincerity, Her Majesty the Queen has prepared food, grass, and ten thousand stones in Liaodong to enshrine to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty..." the Silla envoy said respectfully.

Wu Xu took the letter from the Golden Queen from Li Xiaojiu's hand and read it carefully, and then smiled: "Your queen is very generous! We saints are not stingy people, and we have issued an edict two days ago to call in Yi Lidao and Shen Qiudao. Soldiers and horses, ready for orders..."

When the envoy of Silla heard the words, he almost wept with joy, and quickly knelt down to thank His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Tang Emperor and Your Highness the Empress..."

"That's all..." Wu Xu waved her hand and made the Silla envoy flatten, but her next sentence almost made the Silla envoy kneel down again.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Our sages have squeezed out 30 soldiers and horses for your queen this time... I wonder how many soldiers and horses your country has against the coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje?"

The Silla envoy opened his mouth wide, unable to find his voice for a long time.

Three, 30 troops? !

Or squeezed out? !

All the armies of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje have more than enough to beat them!

How much food, grass and soldiers are paid for one dispatch?

Wanshi food and grass is not enough for them to eat for ten days!

Nima!No wonder the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that the treasury was empty!

It's enough to support this large group of money-burning troops!

The Silla envoy wiped off his cold sweat and said tremblingly: "The seven thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry in our country have all been dispatched..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall showed contemptuous expressions.

Even Wu Xu couldn't stop smiling.

"Forget it, your envoy can set off to return to the country first, and when the food, grass and military pay are ready, my Datang sergeant will attack immediately..."

The envoy of Silla didn't dare to say any more, and resigned from the palace obediently—this guy probably will complain to his Queen Jin Chunqiu when he goes back. Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Tang Dynasty is too scary!

Before the Silla envoy left, he repeatedly begged His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to send troops to rescue his life as soon as possible, but the queen lady is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle, and she has the idea of ​​letting the three countries of the peninsula fight together to take advantage of the fire, so naturally she agreed verbally. Yes, the bottom is still standing still.

Until the end of April, the main force of Silla was restrained by Goguryeo in the north, and the south was empty. Baekje took advantage of the situation and captured more than [-] cities, almost reaching the capital of Jincheng.

Silla was almost overwhelmed, and Her Majesty's distress letters were urgently sent one after another.

When the N+1 distress letter was sent from Jincheng to Chang'an, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an edict ordering Su Dingfang, the head of Yili Road, and Xue Rengui, the head of Shenqiu Road, to attack from the north and the south at the same time, and take the hinterland of Goguryeo and Baekje separately. He thought it was a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Goguryeo and Baekje were caught off guard, and they were attacked by the Tang army for dozens of cities. Only then did they react and return to the rescue.

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are worthy of being peerless famous generals, and they adopted different tactics to attack the capitals of the two countries.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui was more cautious as the commander-in-chief. He adopted the method of avoiding the truth and pretending to be false. At the beginning, he did not confront the Goguryeo army head-on.

Su Dingfang's army followed his usual combat style. After crossing the sea from Chengshan to the Korean Peninsula, he first fought a battle with the Baekje army staying at the mouth of the Xiongjin River, beat the opponent to death, and then went straight to the Baekje army all the way. Sibi City, the capital of King Ji.

At this time, the main force of Baekje was all in the territory of Silla, and it was impossible to defend in time. Under the fierce attack of Su Dingfang's army, within five days, Sibi City was destroyed and surrendered.

Baekje king Fuyu Yici and prince Fuyu Longcang fled in panic and fled to the small town of Beibi to escape. They were rounded up and captured by Su Dingfang's army division Laiji led by the army. The rest of the Baekje royal family tried to resist, but Su Dingfang executed him on the spot mercilessly. .

The Baekje country has now been destroyed.

After the news that Su Dingfang took Baekje spread to the northern part of the peninsula, the Silla army was greatly motivated and began to desperately resist the Baekje army.

When the Baekje army heard that the capital of the country was destroyed and the lord was captured, they immediately felt the sorrow of a bereaved dog. They thought that there was no way out anyway, so they simply attacked Jincheng like madly, and decided to use Silla as a backing of!

Silla was already at the end of its strength, and it was hard to resist the onslaught of the Baekje army, but it was only two days before the Baekje broke through Jincheng.

The Baekje soldiers, who were like mad dogs, began to massacre the city as soon as they entered Jincheng. Queen Jin Chunqiu was unable to escape and died on the spot.

The blood of the Kim royal family was cut off in one day, and the Silla Kingdom was destroyed.

When the Silla army resisting Goguryeo in the far north heard the bad news, their fighting spirit was completely wiped out. They were beaten by the Goguryeo army and almost wiped out.

The author has something to say: kill two, the next Goguryeo =. =
