Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 895

The Goguryeo army invaded Silla, and the Silla retreated steadily. The news that Silla had to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty for help spread quickly.

Cheng Yaojin and other generals who were close to Su Cheng couldn't help grinning, what does this mean?

This shows that Su Cheng's original news was correct. Goguryeo did mobilize troops, but it was to attack Silla.

Anyway, Su Cheng never said that Goguryeo's deployment of troops was to attack Datang, so Su Cheng can't be blamed for this.

Since Su Cheng knew the news about Goguryeo's troop transfer, was it wrong to tell the emperor as a reminder?

There is nothing wrong with it!

Therefore, the impeachment of Su Cheng by the censors is simply not tenable.

Although Goguryeo dispatched troops to attack Silla, Su Cheng's reminder was not considered meritorious, but it was not considered a fault.

Su Cheng did nothing wrong, it depends on how the censors end up!

However, officials will not be punished for their words, even if those censors utter nonsense, the emperor will not be punished for it.

So they felt a little sorry, but when they thought that Wei Zheng still had a bet with Su Cheng, they couldn't help gloating.

Wei Zheng made a bet with Su Cheng. If he lost, Wei Zheng would go to Su Cheng's mansion to plead guilty.

Although Su Cheng has become the Duke of the state, he is still a junior. Wei Zheng is considered highly respected in the court, but he has to go to Su Cheng's mansion to make amends.

Tsk, thinking about it, I think this drama is beautiful and enjoyable.

But what excites them the most is the impact of Goguryeo on the military establishments of Silla.

Now that Silla has come to ask for help, what will His Majesty do?

Let Goguryeo annex Silla?

Or send troops to intervene?

Although the world is looking forward to peace in the world, as a military general, it is inevitable to yearn for war. After all, military generals get their skills from horses!

Those civil servants couldn't help being a little bit surprised when they heard the news. Goguryeo actually dispatched troops, but it was just to fight Silla.

Now that Silla has sent envoys to ask for help, they can no longer write a letter to impeach Su Cheng.

But they didn't feel that they had done anything wrong, Yushi, it was just rumors, and if they were wrong, they were wrong!

Besides, they didn't feel that they were wrong. In the situation last year, who didn't think that Su Cheng's information was wrong?

Who would have thought that Gao Jianwu would lose his mind and send troops to attack Silla?

Who would have thought that Silla would be so unstoppable that he would be defeated steadily and had to come to Datang for help?

Wei Zheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard the news. In the past two days, the censor was discussing the impeachment of Su Cheng, but he didn't get involved.

Because he thinks that Su Cheng is not a person who doesn't count his words. Su Cheng is a talented person, and he is also a proud person.

So he didn't urge Su Cheng to complete the bet, but he didn't expect to receive such news.

Since Goguryeo really sent troops, even though they did not send troops to attack Datang, it also means that he lost the bet.

No one expected that Goguryeo would use troops against Silla, and it was not a small dispute, and Silla rushed to Datang for help in a hurry.

Sitting there in front of Wei Zheng was a bit dignified, but it wasn't because he lost the bet that his complexion was dignified.

In his opinion, since he lost, it means he blamed Su Cheng wrongly, so it's okay to apologize to Su Cheng.

And if he lost, it meant that there was no war, so he expected to lose the bet instead.

After all, it's just an apology, which is much better than countless casualties in the war!

However, when he thought of Silla coming to Datang for help, he couldn't help but feel heavy again.

He wasn't worried about how many people died in Silla, but he was worried about the impact of this war.

Silla came to Datang for help, would the emperor send troops to Liaodong?

It's not impossible. After all, if Goguryeo annexed Silla, it would inevitably increase its strength, which might have a negative impact on Datang.

However, sending troops to Liaodong is not a trivial matter.

The three Eastern Expeditions in the former Sui Dynasty all sent millions of troops, but they were in vain, wasting the people and wasting money.

So speaking from his heart, he didn't want the imperial court to send troops to the east!

Because in his view, Eastern Expedition is a quagmire, and once it gets stuck, it will be troublesome.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has created a prosperous age, the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is even more powerful in the Western Regions. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a great situation was ruined by the Eastern Expedition?

If Goguryeo annexed Silla, it would certainly have a negative impact on Datang, but which one would have a greater adverse impact than being caught in the quagmire of the Eastern Expedition?

Of course, the eastern expedition to Liaodong is more harmful!

Just as Wei Zheng was smiling like this, Ma Zhou came.

"My lord, do you know about the Silla envoy's visit to Chang'an for help?" Ma Zhou asked.

Wei Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "The old man already knows!"

Ma Zhou sighed: "Unexpectedly, since Goguryeo is so bold, it dared to send troops to attack Silla, and the queen of Silla sent envoys to ask for help. It can be seen that Goguryeo wanted to destroy Silla in one battle!"

Wei Zheng nodded slightly and said, "This is no small matter!"

Ma Zhou hesitated to speak, "Since Goguryeo sent troops to attack Silla, the bet between your lord and Duke Rong..."

Wei Zheng said calmly: "Since the old man lost, then the old man will naturally go to Sujiazhuang to plead guilty. It's okay to be willing to admit defeat. Su Cheng didn't go astray, but the old man is very happy!"

"Now the envoys from Silla come to ask for help is the top priority!"

Ma Zhou murmured, "Goguryeo is the most powerful of the Liaodong Three Kingdoms. Baekje and Silla should join forces to fight against Goguryeo! How can Baekje sit back and watch Silla be destroyed by Goguryeo? Don't you hear the truth?"

Wei Zhengdao: "This is the truth, I'm afraid that some people can't see clearly! People are the easiest to be deceived by interests, and I'm afraid that Baekje will have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the fire!"

Ma Zhou shook his head slightly and said: "Take advantage of the fire to rob? Even if Baekje can take advantage of the fire to rob, it can only drink some soup. Goguryeo is the most powerful and eats the meat. How will Baekje compete against Goguryeo?"

"So, if Silla came to Datang to ask for help, it would be better to go to Baekje to ask for help. Datang is beyond reach!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Your Majesty will be motivated to march east because of this!"

Expedition?

Ma Zhou couldn't help but change his face when he heard this. He was born in a poor family, so he felt the deepest suffering caused by the former Sui's Eastern Expedition.

It was a day of dire straits!I don’t know how many families were destroyed during the three Eastern Expeditions, Liaodong is full of bones!

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "The lessons learned from the three previous Eastern Expeditions in the Sui Dynasty, how could His Majesty launch the Eastern Expedition because of this?"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible. Now that our dynasty is strong, our troops are strong and our horses are strong, and the destruction of the Eastern Turks has shocked the world. Your Majesty's talent and general plan can't help but be arrogant."

"Now that Silla sent people to ask for help, His Majesty might want to march east due to Tian Khan's reputation!"
