Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1003 Disputes
Now the entire Tang army camp is full of joyous scenes, Jin Shengman really can't figure out why the people in the mission are looking sad, has something happened again?

"Did something happen again?" Jin Shengman asked quickly.

The guard said with a bitter face: "Nothing happened, I just heard that Gao Jianwu actually asked Gao Yanshou to lead the army!"

"Yes, Gao Yanshou was asked to lead the army, but why do you look so sad?" Jin Shengman was even more puzzled. Gao Jianwu ordered Gao Yanshou to lead the army. Isn't this a great thing?
For a moment, she even wondered if she had misremembered the name and confused Gao Yanshou with Yuan Gai Suwen.

"Gao Yanshou used to be a defeated general who abandoned the city. Although he came from a famous family, he has great ambitions and talents. He is a worthless waste. Isn't it a good thing for him to be the coach of Goguryeo? Why are you so sad?" Jin Shengman asked.

The guards scratched their heads and said, "We also heard from Mr. Jin that if Gao Yanshou led the army, the Goguryeo army would be defeated. Mr. Jin said, this is not a good thing!"

Jin Shengman froze there, wondering if he was hallucinating, but the defeat of the Goguryeo army was not a good thing?

Was Jin Wenzhi instigated by the Goguryeo people?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to face the Goguryeo people?

"Jin Wenzhi said that Goguryeo's defeat is not a good thing? Why?" Jin Shengman asked in a daze, "Forget it, where is Jin Wenzhi? I'll go and ask him personally!"

The guards heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "I'm humble, so I'll invite Mr. Jin here!"

Not long after, Jin Wenzhi walked over with a worried face.

"The princess wants to summon the minister?" Jin Wenzhi bowed and said.

Jin Shengman asked straight to the point: "Lord Jin, from what the guards said, do you think it is not a good thing for Gao Yanshou to be the commander-in-chief of the Goguryeo army?"

Jin Wenzhi looked very solemn, nodded and said: "I really think that it is not a good thing for Gao Yanshou to be the commander-in-chief of the Goguryeo army!"

Jin Shengman laughed and said, "Both the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Duke Rong think this is a good thing, but Mr. Jin thinks it is not a good thing. Why?"

Jin Wenzhi said seriously: "Princess, Gao Yanshou being the commander of the Goguryeo army is certainly a good thing for Tang Dynasty, but it may not be a good thing for us Silla!"

Is it a good thing for Datang?Is it not a good thing for Silla?Jin Shengman was very puzzled: "How do you say this? Our Silla and Datang are the same!"

Jin Wenzhi pondered: "Princess, what do you think is the best result of Datang's Eastern Expedition?"

"What's the best result? Of course it's to defeat Goguryeo's army. No, it's best to break through Pyongyang City, kill Gao Jianwu and Yuan Gaisuwen, and completely destroy Goguryeo!" Jin Shengman said without hesitation.

Jin Wenzhi couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Jin Shengman asked suspiciously: "Isn't it? What do you think is the best result, Mr. Jin?"

Jin Wenzhi said sternly: "The best result is that although Datang defeated Goguryeo's army, it was a miserable victory and had to retreat, and Goguryeo was also greatly injured because of this, and was deterred by Datang, and never dared to invade Silla again. "

"However, if Datang easily defeats Goguryeo's army and destroys Goguryeo, it means that our Silla will border on Datang!"

After hearing this, Jin Shengman asked doubtfully, "Isn't that good? From then on, we no longer have to worry that Goguryeo will invade our Silla!"

Jin Wenzhi said solemnly: "Goguryeo invaded our Silla, and we could still ask Datang for help, but if Datang invaded our Silla, who else could we turn to for help? Who else in the world would dare to save us? Who can save us?" ?”

Jin Shengman was dumbfounded: "Our Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and we have always respected the Tang Dynasty. How could the Datang invade our Silla?"

Jin Wenzhi said solemnly: "The border between the two countries will inevitably cause dissatisfaction for a long time. Besides, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so ambitious that he swallowed the world. He first destroyed the Eastern Turks and then the Gaochang Kingdom. This time the Great Tang Expedition, I have figured it out. The emperor wants to save our Silla, but he wants to take the opportunity to annex Goguryeo even more!"

"It's hard to fill your desires. When the Tang emperor annexed Goguryeo, will he set his sights on our Silla again? What does the princess think?"

Jin Shengman shook his head slightly and said: "No, no, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the son of Shengming, and there is an upright minister like Su Cheng. The Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, so how could it invade our Silla? "

Jin Wenzhi shook his head and said, "A country of etiquette? Between countries, interests come first!"

Jin Shengman asked: "Then, what does Master Jin plan to do?"

Jin Wenzhi smiled wryly after hearing this: "How to do it? What can I do? In the face of Datang's powerful strength, what can we do? How dare we do it?"

Jin Shengman shook his head firmly and said: "I believe that Datang will not invade our Silla, I, I believe in Rong Guogong!"

Believe in Su Cheng?

Even if Su Cheng really has the ability to change the emperor's will, is Su Cheng really willing to take risks for their Silla?

Jin Wenzhi didn't say anything, because he had already seen that Jin Shengman had a deep affection for Su Cheng.

Jin Wenzhi said with relief: "Of course, it's too early to say these things, and the Tang Dynasty may not be able to completely capture Goguryeo!"

After hearing this, Jin Shengman felt very complicated. Before, she was expecting Tang Jun to defeat Goguryeo, but now she should expect Tang Jun to lose to Goguryeo?
This reversal is too fast, right?

It's really hard to get used to.

The Goguryeo army left Pyongyang and marched to the north in a mighty way, receiving battle reports from the north continuously along the way.

"The Tang army has captured the Black Bone City, and is now resting in the Black Bone City!" Gao Yanshou pondered while looking at the battle report in his hand.

Although already almost numb to the Tang army's overwhelming offensive, they were still shocked. Black Bone City is an important town in the central part, and it was captured so easily.

"The Black Bone City is breached, and the Tang army will be able to drive straight in. Commander, we must speed up our march to stop and defeat the Tang army. We must not let the Tang army continue to advance, or the rich cities in the central region will be completely destroyed!"

Gao Yanshou shook his head and said: "Don't speed up the march. The Tang army has been resting in the Black Bone City. If we speed up the march, the Tang Army will be huddled in the Black Bone City. What should we do? Should we go to attack the city? The Tang Army put the artillery to the top of the city Come on, even if we try our best, it will be difficult to capture Black Bone City!"

"Commander, if the Tang army is really huddled in the black bone city, then we will surround it without attacking, cut off its food supply, and wait until its food and grass are exhausted, and then come to catch turtles in an urn!"

Gao Yanshou snorted coldly: "If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was trapped in the Black Bone City, how could the Tang Dynasty not send a large army to rescue him? When the time comes, the Tang army will attack back and forth, how can we resist?"
