Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1030 Fight or not fight
The autumn wind was strong, and the Tang army's camp suddenly became a little bit cold.

In the big tent, Li Shimin's eyes were fixed.

Not long after, the guards brought in the envoys of Silla Kingdom.

"Meet God Khan."

The envoys of the Silla Kingdom saluted quickly after seeing Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's face was cold, and there seemed to be murderous intent in his eyes.

"What is the intention of your sudden retreat from the Silla Kingdom?"

The Silla envoy looked a little nervous, fearing that Li Shimin would be unhappy, he directly chopped him down with a knife.

It's not like Tang Jun hasn't done this kind of thing.

Therefore, when asked by Li Shimin, he quickly responded: "God Khan, Baekje sent troops to attack Gyeongju City, and we can't defend Gyeongju City, so we can only let General Kim lead the troops back to rescue. You can’t live in the Tang Dynasty, but our king said that it’s a bit difficult to destroy Goguryeo now. I’m afraid we will have to look for opportunities in the future. From now on, our country of Silla is willing to follow the lead of your Tang Dynasty, and we are willing to be your leader. Tang's affiliated country will send people to pay tribute every year, and will also strengthen exchanges with your Great Tang......"

The Silla Kingdom knew that they had offended the Tang Dynasty, and they needed to rely on the strength of the Tang Army if they wanted to unify Goguryeo and Baekje in the future. So now, the Silla Kingdom has a very good attitude, not only willing to give Datang enough face, but also to recognize their suzerain state status, but also to pay tribute and so on and so on.

These conditions, in the past, Li Shimin would agree without hesitation.

However, Li Shimin was still very upset that Silla's retreat was like this.

He, Li Shimin, came this time because he wanted to destroy Silla. Even if this place split into three countries, he still wanted to destroy them.

But now, because of the retreat of the Silla Kingdom, they had a chance to capture Anshi City, but now it has suddenly weakened a bit.

Very angry, very angry.

However, although he was very angry, Li Shimin held back.

In the current situation in Silla, even if he fell out with Silla, it would be of no benefit to them with Tang. If they could temporarily accept the tribute from Silla, they would at least save their face in Datang.

For the next thing, they have a retreat no matter how they do it.

Moreover, it seems impossible to force Silla to take action against Anshicheng now, right?
Li Shimin didn't get angry suddenly, but at this time, Cheng Yaojin who was next to him suddenly stood up: "His grandma, whoever wants your tribute from Silla Kingdom, we are about to capture Anshi City, and you actually retreated!" , I don't see an ax chopping you..."

Saying that, Cheng Yaojin was about to make a move, but was stopped by Qin Shubao beside him.

"Duke Lu, don't be reckless. Your Majesty has his own arrangements for this matter."

The envoy of Silla Kingdom was trembling with fright, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Qin Shubao's words.

Then, he turned his attention to Li Shimin, and now whether he can leave alive depends entirely on Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin wasn't furious, but his expression was a bit unsightly.

"The Silla Kingdom was besieged by Baekje, and Gyeongju City was in crisis. It is understandable to transfer the soldiers and horses here. It is also good that your Silla Kingdom is willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. I reluctantly agree to this matter, but Go back and tell your king to ask him to settle down and understand what he should do and what he should not do."

Although he accepted what Cui Xianzhi said, Li Shimin still felt a little angry. If he didn't warn Cui Xianzhi, he would feel very unhappy.

After the envoy of the Silla Kingdom heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that he could finally survive.

After saying this, the envoys of the Silla Kingdom withdrew, and the meeting at the Tang army camp did not end.

Everyone is still staying in Li Shimin's big tent.

"Dear dear ones, Silla has withdrawn its troops, and whether our Tang army will fight or not, do you have any suggestions?"

Although Silla has withdrawn its troops, they still need to discuss whether they will leave or not.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers and horses in Anshi City, and we are about to capture Anshi City in the past few days. Soldiers and horses, it shouldn't be difficult for us to capture Anshi City, but if I ask you, we should continue to fight Goguryeo."

Cheng Yaojin was warlike, and he didn't want to retreat like this, although the tribute from the Silla Kingdom allowed them to save face.

However, after Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Li Ji stood up and said, "My lord, the army of Silla is retreating. The Goguryeo soldiers and horses in Anshi City may go out of the city and set up the Infinity Formation again. If we stay and fight, We have to find a way to break through the infinite formation, but we don't have a way to break the infinite formation, so it might be a bit dangerous to stay and fight."

Li Ji didn't say to leave just like that, but he actually meant the same thing, since the Infinity Formation couldn't be broken, staying would only increase the casualties.

Face has been saved, leaving is the most appropriate.

They have all seen the power of the Infinity Formation. If you don't have the confidence to break the formation, it's better not to break the formation easily.

However, after Li Ji finished speaking in this way, Gao Shilian snorted: "Our Tang army was defeated twice by Goguryeo. If we just leave like this, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? The Wuji formation is indeed powerful, but now all the troops in their city There are less than [-] soldiers left. Even if they deploy the Wuji Formation, they will still leave some soldiers and horses guarding the city. In this way, the power of the Wuji Formation will be weakened a lot. My Tang army can deal with the Wuji Formation with [-] soldiers and horses. No, isn’t it okay to deal with the weakened Wuji formation? I think that only by defeating Goguryeo can our Tang Dynasty save face.”

Gao Shilian disregarded people like Qin Tian and Li Ji, so he specifically confronted them. If Li Ji wanted to retreat, he would not do so. Moreover, he knew that Li Shimin had a good face, so now he started from this aspect.

After Gao Shilian said this, the faces of Li Ji, Qin Tian and others changed slightly, and Li Shimin had already stood up at this time: "Gao Aiqing is right, even if Goguryeo can set up the Infinity Formation, the power is not afraid." It will be very big, and I Tang Jun will fight with them again, I don't believe that I Tang Jun can't break Lin Wuwei's Infinity Formation."

Li Shimin, who became Tian Khan, really began to care about face slowly. Qin Tian and Li Ji looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It is obviously very dangerous to stay and break the Wuji Formation, because they have not found a way to break it at all. Li Shimin's doing this is clearly a gamble. It is just a war. If you don't know yourself, know your enemy, and be sure to win every battle, it is better not to fight lightly. .

But with Li Shimin like this, they had no other choice but to gamble with Li Shimin.

"Tomorrow, we will fight Goguryeo again."
