Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 794
Regarding whether to take back the cities eaten by Goguryeo, Silla is roughly divided into two factions.One faction is the "Main War faction" headed by Silla King Jin Deman, including Kim Yuxin, Kim Shuxuan, Kim Chunqiu and others.The other faction is the 'Zhuhe faction' of Jin Guofan.

In Jin Guofan's view, it is very good to be able to keep Silla from being destroyed, so why bother with Goguryeo?
"We have just finished fighting Baekje, and the domestic food and grass are not enough, and Baekje is even watching. At this time, the conflict with Goguryeo will give Baekje a chance to make a comeback? I still think that we should negotiate a peace first, and then regain our strength. It's not too late for the city, why bother to send troops to the north right now, isn't that courting death!" Jin Guofan said.

There were a lot of people from Zhuhe, all of whom were nobles who were afraid of death. After Jin Guofan spoke, they immediately agreed.

Seeing that Jin Guofan and others were so afraid of death, Jin Shuxuan despised him very much, but he would not say it directly.

Jin Yuxin said in a deep voice: "We must fight. If we don't fight, it will give Goguryeo the impression that we Silla people are afraid of death. In this way, once Goguryeo unites with Baekje in the future, should we continue to take back the lost land?

We have to fight, and we have to fight bloody, so that the people of Goguryeo and Baekje can see clearly that our Silla is not made of clay, and whoever dares to provoke our Silla must be prepared to pay the price! "

"I agree!" Jin Chunqiu said: "King Ge Wen, I know you are worried that if we go to war with Goguryeo, Baekje will make a comeback. But, please don't worry about this. Baekje has just withdrawn not long ago, and now it has no strength to invade us again. Goguryeo It seems to be powerful, but Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu are against each other. As long as we lead our troops to the north, no matter whether we fight or not, we will put great pressure on Gao Jianwu. At that time, he will have to retreat if he does not retreat. Because once he fights with us , we can drag him to death, as long as he dares to let the army go south to fight with us, we can contact Yuan Gai Suwen immediately, so that Gao Jianwu can't be bothered!"

Kinderman said: "That's right, well said."

"My lord, you?" Jin Guofan was dumbfounded, how could Kinderman support Jin Chunqiu.

Kinderman looked at him and said, "I think what the general and others said makes sense. If we keep avoiding it, we will only bully Goguryeo and Baekje unscrupulously."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jin Shuxuan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We don't need to go north with the whole army. We only need to dispatch the elite. Goguryeo doesn't have many troops going south this time. We don't need many troops. I can defeat them. As for Baekje, I will let General Yanchuan stand on guard.”

Kinderman nodded, "Then do as you say."

"As ordered!"

Jin Guofan's face swelled with anger, and he snorted, "I hope you guys don't mess things up."

Jin Chunqiu said: "King Ge Wen, I think we need to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help. Goguryeo has always been at odds with the Tang Dynasty. This time Goguryeo went south without authorization and invaded our land. As long as the Tang Emperor sent someone to reprimand Gao Jianwu, it would Help us a lot.”

Jin Guofan doesn't like wars, but he likes peace. Hearing what Jin Chunqiu said, he immediately said: "Leave this matter to me."

Three days later, Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu led [-] people to the north, making a gesture of vowing to recover the lost land.

Gao Jianwu was not surprised by this. Instead of retreating immediately, he ordered people to continue fighting with the Xinluo army.In addition, he sent someone to inform Baekje King Fu Yuzhang, asking him to send troops to attack Silla immediately.

Fu Yuzhang promised the envoy that he would send troops immediately.After the envoy left, he found Prince Fuyu Yici.

"Do you think we should take this opportunity to send troops to attack Silla?"

Fuyu Yici shook his head and refused, "It's not the time yet. Although the outbreak of war between Goguryeo and Silla is what we want to see, Goguryeo and Silla haven't invested a lot of troops, and we have just withdrawn troops, and the supplies still need to be gathered. It is not wise. Besides, I have received accurate information that Yan Chuan has led heavy troops to defend us in Jitong. If we send troops at this time, it will only reduce the pressure on Goguryeo, and it will not do us any good."

Fu Yuzhang nodded, and asked again: "Then we don't do anything?"

"No, we still have to show off. Let people go to Jidong to put pressure on Silla. My idea is that after the battle between Silla and Goguryeo is over, we will send troops again, so that Silla will not have the slightest chance to breathe. Destroy them completely!"

"Okay, just do as you say!"

"Yes."

Soon after, Baekje mobilized troops again and appeared in the Jitong area, which put a lot of pressure on Silla, and even many peacemakers accused Jin Shuxuan of seeking death.Jin Shu was out of breath, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only pass the news to Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu.

After Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu got the news, they discussed with each other and came to the final conclusion that they don't care about anything!

Yes, they all think that Baekje wants to watch Silla and Goguryeo fight to the death, and will not help Goguryeo at this time.However, they still want Jin Shuxuan to guard against Baekje's sudden attack.

When Jin Guofan learned that Baekje was about to come back again, he immediately went to Kinderman to complain.

"Your Majesty, you saw it. I told you not to conflict with Goguryeo at this time. Baekje is coming soon. What do you think?"

Kinderman reassured: "Don't worry, General Yanchuan is on guard. King Ge Wen, blindly defending will not make the enemy back down. Only when he is properly tough can the enemy be intimidated. If we let Goguryeo eat this time The northern land, then next time Goguryeo will make an inch."

Jin Guofan thought for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, Your Majesty, you can decide for yourself."

He found that this great king had a lot of thoughts, and he was not a woman who knew nothing.In the face of the big trouble of Baekje, Jin Guofan has no idea of ​​seizing power.I don't know if Silla can survive, what's the use of seizing power.

Furthermore, the military power is in the hands of Jin Shuxuan, Jin Yuxin and his son, and he is in charge of the internal affairs, so there is really no way to make another move.

Seeing Jin Guofan's disappointed face, Kinderman tried to persuade Jin Guofan again, and then comforted Jin Guofan.

In fact, Kinderman was also very helpless.Once the war broke out, she had to rely on Jin Shuxuan and others, but she also needed Jin Guofan to check and balance Jin Shuxuan.The word balance is not so easy to do.

The situation of the three countries on the peninsula, after several months of development, has shown a very strange appearance.Before Baekje attacked Silla, Goguryeo took advantage of the fire to rob.Now Silla and Goguryeo are attacking each other, and Baekje is watching from the side.

At this time, the first batch of Silla envoys finally arrived in Chang'an in July of the eighth year of Zhenguan after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers.

Along the way, the Silla envoys had a very difficult time.Because this time it was not a war between Baekje and Silla, but Baekje and Goguryeo jointly attacked Silla.Therefore, the Silla envoys had to avoid the troops of Goguryeo and Baekje on their way to Chang'an.

They didn't know that the situation of the war had turned around. They only knew that if they could get the protection of the Tang emperor, Silla would be able to turn the crisis into safety.

Silla was besieged by Goguryeo and Baekje. If they wanted to be safe and sound, they could only pray to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire to intervene. Otherwise, they dare not imagine the development of the matter.
