Chapter 428

"Why do Shaolin monks suddenly become energetic?"

The former Baekje Royal City is now in the Tang Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, Guo Yuanzhen looked at the new newsletter, a little amazed.

He also participated in the training of Shaolin monks, knowing that this group of monks was dispatched, he was very reluctant in his heart.

Practicing martial arts all day is returning to practicing martial arts all day long, but it doesn't mean that they are willing to go to the battlefield. If Shaolin Temple hadn't gone through the last incident, it would be really difficult to maintain. The monks would definitely not be dispatched, and the inner guards would not be able to force them to do so.

Not willingly, after all, they can't entrust important matters, and Guo Yuanzhen didn't expect them to get any vital information, but recently there have been more informants, and they are all about the upper echelons of Silla.

It seems that these monks have gained a high status and are very active. They would rather take big risks than continue to pass on information, which is impressive.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't understand the reason for this, but it could only be attributed to the leader's foresight: "No wonder Liu Lang wants to let Shaolin Temple go first. These monks are quite capable when they use the right place."

He handed the newsletter to his subordinates to sort out, and carefully looked at the wooden plaque in his hand. From top to bottom, they were all high-ranking Silla officials of different status.

The highest general was only Jin Gengxin, who had passed away and his position was vacant, but his younger brother Jin Qinchun inherited the political legacy, so Guo Yuanzhen added it.

The rest are the three big generals, Jin Qintu, Jin Zhenzhu and Jin Tiancun.

Below that is the chief manager of the noble building, similar to the governor of the Tang Dynasty, who are all feudal officials who integrate people's livelihood and military administration. Of course, considering the size of Silla's land, maybe they should be called feudal officials?

Finally, there are the governors of the upper state and the governors of the lower states. These are equivalent to the governors of the Tang Dynasty, and they must also be taken seriously.

Under Li Yan's emphasis, the inner guards treated Silla as the Turks of the past, and tried their best to collect information on high-ranking officials.

There were not many officials in Silla, and there were only the so-called twenty-eight generals in its heyday. Nowadays, many of them have died of illness, and they were killed by Kim Famin in the political struggle. It's perfectly watchable.

Flipping through the signboard, remembering repeatedly, the cold wind blows in, and a slender figure walks in.

The man was handsome and handsome, he was Li Jixiu from the Li Family's Wuyang House in Longxi, Guo Yuanzhen raised his head when he saw it, and called affectionately: "Maozhi is here, it's cold outside, come and drink a cup of hot tea. "

"Liaodong is really bitter and cold, no wonder Taizong also retreated because of his compassion for the soldiers..."

Li Jixiu came to the front and picked up the teacup, breathed out a breath of cold air, and felt his body warmed up after a while, and the address was relatively friendly, but his tone was full of respect for his superiors: "Thank you Yuanzhen!"

The same is Li Yan's confidant, the scholars in Guanzhong are in the same position as Qiu Shenji, but they have a good relationship with Guo Yuanzhen, because Guo Yuanzhen is the best at dealing with people from all walks of life. is one of them.

However, the previous relationship between the two was mainly based on Li Jixiu. After all, this great-grandfather was Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, who was also a man of both civil and military skills, and a capable minister during the Zhenguan period.

But since Li Zhaode and the honored children who gathered in the British government were exhausted, the children of all ethnic groups who went north this time were much more honest. Li Jixiu couldn't curry favor with Li Yan, and wanted to build a good relationship with Guo Yuanzhen.

At this time, he looked at the sign in front of Guo Yuanzhen and said with a smile: "As expected of the internal guards who split the Turks, are powerful overseas, and the prosperity and decline of the barbarians are all under control. Under control, are you afraid that you will die of fear?"

Guo Yuanzhen listened to his unconcealable arrogance, shook his head and said: "Maozhi must not be careless. Silla is certainly a small country, but the war of subjugation is no different than others. Once we are united and guard the key points, we may not be able to win the battle. After all, this time My Tang army sent troops, and there were only [-] elites."

Li Jixiu smiled and said: "Wuanzhen is too cautious. Silla is a small country, and the people under his command are not as good as my Xijing Chang'an city. If there is no Tang Dynasty, it has been destroyed by Baekje and Goryeo in the past, and now it offends me. Isn’t the Celestial Dynasty destroyed with a wave? Not to mention [-] elites, I think [-] is enough!”

Guo Yuanzhen glanced at him indifferently, not distinguishing him, but another figure walked in with great strides, and his majestic voice spread far away: "This statement is too arrogant, this time we will send [-] elite troops, and we will recruit civilians in Liaodong." , and even more naval ships, intercepting the Japanese kingdom, a total of at least [-] people can carry out a war of annihilation against Silla, and your Excellency is [-], don’t you think that siege is just a child’s play?”

This was very rude, but after Li Jixiu's face changed, he looked at the person and said in a low voice: "What An Jinglue said makes sense."

It was An Zhongjing who spoke the words. After he became famous, he served as a corporal in Bingzhou and joined the army. Because of his love for the corporal, he was promoted. Comparable, coupled with what he said, Li Jixiu did not dare to contradict him in the slightest.

An Zhongjing ignored the prince of this family, and came to Guo Yuanzhen to salute: "Guo Xiaowei, there is news from the land of Silla that the ancestors of the royal family of Koryo are Mahan among the Miao descendants of Sanhan, and they are of the same family as Silla. , Quan was furious, and asked the inner guard to get rid of this rumor."

Guo Yuanzhen was taken aback: "Isn't it right? They seem to belong to the same ethnic group of the Three Hans?"

An Zhongjing shook his head: "According to Quan's words, that's not the case. There are indeed many people from the Three Hans in Goryeo, but the royal family is from Buyeo, and it has always been controlled by Buyeo people. How could they be willing to share with them? flow?"

Guo Yuanzhen laughed: "This is interesting..."

Dongyi is a contemptuous name for the eastern peoples by the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty, so Goguryeo is Dongyi in their eyes. "Tongdian" records "Gaoguryo, the country of Dongyi."

Goryeo, which is now renamed from Goguryeo, regards Silla as Dongyi. The "Central Plains Goguryeo Stele" says, "Silla Dongyi Meijin", Meijin is the name of the leader of Silla.

This chain of contempt is too clear, and the name does not change.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo is indeed the strongest. The main body is the ancient ethnic groups active in the Northeast. Later, they invaded the Liaodong Peninsula and squeezed the living space of the indigenous peoples of the Three Kingdoms. After hundreds of years of development, the ethnic groups of the Three Kingdoms are actually They are all mixed up, but the Koryo royal family still has proud capital.

Now is the most hostile period. Silla united with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goryeo and even came to steal their ancestors.

Guo Yuanzhen was quite happy: "This is really good news, the king of Silla actually did such a stupid thing..."

But he immediately understood: "No, it's not stupidity, it's greed! If this lie about the same origin of the ancestors really becomes a fact, the resistance to invading the old land of the two countries will be much smaller. Silla is clearly an annexation Baekje is not enough, even the old land of Goryeo is coveted!"

Don't underestimate this theoretical basis, a lie told a thousand times will come true, similarly, if the origin of this ethnic group is distorted, the younger generation will believe it is true, and by then Silla will have a righteous name.

This is why there were so many disputes surrounding Goguryeo in later generations. They were not full of food, on the contrary, those people knew exactly what they wanted.

However, today's Silla, due to the failure of information, does not know that the last prince of Baekje has come to the old place of Baekje, nor does it know that the Quan's children are using the prestige of Yeongae Suwen in the past to stabilize the situation in the old place of Goryeo. The ancestors of the family did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire.

Li Jixiu rolled his eyes, and suggested: "The survivors of Koryo were not ministers, and now they hate Silla so much, why not use them as bait to lure the Silla army out to ambush them?"

An Zhongjing's face darkened, and Guo Yuanzhen didn't argue with him before, but now his expression became serious: "Goryo has been destroyed, and this survivor is also a citizen of our Tang Dynasty, so there is no reason to use people to lure the enemy. You can't have it, or you will go to prison!"

Li Jixiu was denied consecutively, and finally couldn't contain the anger in his heart. He lowered his face and reluctantly cupped his hands: "I made a slip of the tongue! Yuan Zhen, I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Send Maozhi!"

Watching Li Jixiu leave, Guo Yuanzhen frowned, An Zhongjing saw him and said in a low voice, "Are you still worried that he won't listen to advice?"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled wryly and said: "Words and reprimands can play a certain role, but they can't change the concept after all. Silla's current situation is very bad, but it is by no means no room for counterattack. Li Mao is not the only one who is arrogant and contemptuous. It’s a big loss!”

An Zhongjing also found it tricky: "We can only keep an eye on it, so that they don't rush in."

Guo Yuanzhen sighed: "The key is that even if these honorable children with family backgrounds make stupid decisions, unless they die directly in battle, their mistakes are often paid for by the people below. I don't want those who work for Datang Fu soldiers, because they died in vain..."

Just thinking about what to do, a familiar voice came from outside: "What are you worrying about!"

Guo Yuanzhen laughed, and An Zhongjing was even more overjoyed to welcome him out: "Fifth brother!"

Soon, two brothers, An Shengan and An Zhongjing, walked in. The former was travel-stained and his face was frosty: "I brought Wu's son here, Yuan Zhen, this is a letter from Liulang to you."

Guo Yuanzhen took it: "Isn't Liu Lang here yet?"

Anshen said with emotion: "With him in the Eastern Capital, the court will be stable and not to be moved lightly. He should be walking with Old General Liu, and this is also an opportunity for us to be alone."

Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "It is indeed a good time to practice, but you have put a lot of effort into entrusting Wu's son, right?"

The sense of peace of mind was brought to the bottom of my heart, and I poured bitter water: "Isn't it, you don't know how disgusting those guys are, they can't get together, otherwise one bad idea after another will come out, there will be no Peaceful..."

At this time, Guo Yuanzhen's eyes had already fallen on the letter. After reading it carefully, he suddenly slapped his thigh, and laughed loudly: "Liu Lang is really clever, and he can even predict my troubles. Give me the son of the Wu family and rectify it." Military discipline depends entirely on them!"
