Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1682 Goguryeo and Baekje
Zheng Yu went to die with peace of mind.

He was uneasy and had no choice but to fall into the trap set by Cui Xianzhi. Does he still want to leave alive?
After Zheng Yu was killed, Cui Xianzhi ordered Jin Jiang to command Zheng Yu's remaining [-] troops.

The process of taking over the [-] soldiers and horses was definitely not particularly smooth, but Jin Jiang's methods were vicious, and after killing a few people to establish his prestige, he still quickly took the [-] soldiers and horses into his pocket.

And as long as these soldiers and horses are put under his command, they will serve him.

Throughout the ages, these soldiers, except for some family troops, many soldiers and horses have basically worked for whoever they took refuge in, or whoever became their subordinates, they would work for whoever they were.

Most of them are soldiers to survive and to have enough to eat. If this is the case, does it make any difference who they serve as soldiers?

After Jin Jiang got the control of the ten thousand soldiers, he became an unparalleled powerful minister in Silla Kingdom, the supreme powerful minister.

Now, he can use force to fight for the throne, as long as he wants, no one can stop him.

However, as Cui Xianzhi expected, even if Jin Jiang commanded all the soldiers and horses of Silla, he did not force Cui Xianzhi to abdicate.

Today's Silla Kingdom can be said to be a bit precarious.

There are Japanese soldiers invading the border in the east, and perhaps soon, Goguryeo and Baekje will also send troops to them. After all, Goguryeo and Baekje have not given up their attacks on Silla over the years.

As long as there is a chance, they Goguryeo and Baekje will do it.

And if Goguryeo and Baekje take action, if he usurps power again, the entire Silla Kingdom will be really fragile. At that time, even if he can become the king of Silla Kingdom, he may not be able to be the king of Silla Kingdom for a few days.

Therefore, it is better to use Cui Xianzhi to stabilize the situation in Silla first, and then make plans after the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Jiang stood still, and Cui Xianzhi had his own calculations.

At this time, from Goguryeo's side, someone had already passed on the news of Silla.

Today, early morning.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Silla Kingdom that a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in Busan City of the Silla Kingdom. There are tens of thousands of these Japanese soldiers, and their force is very strong. Luo’s city, even Zheng Yu and his [-] soldiers were defeated by such a Japanese army, and after Zheng Yu’s defeat, he was killed by Cui Xianzhi, the king of Silla..."

An official told the news they collected in the court hall. After he finished speaking, the entire Goguryeo hall suddenly became noisy.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for us Goguryeo. The Silla Kingdom is currently facing enemies in the east and its interior is extremely unstable. As long as we send troops together with Baekje, we can completely destroy their Silla Kingdom."

"Yes, yes, now is a great opportunity to destroy the Silla Kingdom. We must not lose this opportunity. Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the army to destroy the Silla Kingdom."

"Please His Majesty the King, order to destroy Silla?"

"........."

Above the court, the crowd was excited.

As the first emperor of Goguryeo, Tian Yuan has an advantage that Cui Xianzhi can't compare to, that is, he has great power in Goguryeo, and he has always said what he said. The power of Goguryeo is concentrated, and naturally there will be no such things as power falling apart. In this way, If Tahara wanted to do many things, it would be very easy.

In today's Goguryeo, there are many civil servants and military generals. Among the Three Kingdoms, their Goguryeo soldiers and horses are the strongest.

It is true that Datang had harassed their borders and destroyed their crops a few years ago to make them fight among the three. However, their Goguryeo resolved this matter very well.

They sent troops to stop the Tang army from burning, and at the same time established an alliance with Baekje. In this way, even if the Tang army really destroyed their crops, they would only plunder some grain from Silla, so that they would not let The internal strife in the Three Kingdoms is beyond control.

However, with the strength of Goguryeo's soldiers and horses, the Tang army harassed less and less frequently, and the two sides gradually formed a confrontational situation.

And in Tian Yuan's heart, he has always wanted to destroy the Silla Kingdom. After he completely controls this piece of land, he can face Datang across the river. At that time, even if Datang is much stronger than their Goguryeo, He is also completely unafraid.

However, it is not an easy task to destroy the Silla Kingdom.

Now, the Silla Kingdom was suddenly invaded by a group of Japanese soldiers, and the Silla Kingdom was also defeated. This is indeed a good opportunity for them.

Tian Yuan glanced at the officials, and finally stopped his gaze on a one-eyed official, and said, "Lin Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

This one-eyed official was exactly Lin Wuwei who set up the Wuji Formation to make the Tang army suffer, and even almost killed Li Shimin. At this time, Lin Wuwei was already the prime minister of Goguryeo, and his words in the court were very important.

Although Tian Yuan holds the power alone, he also trusts Lin Wuwei very much.

When asked at this time, Lin Wuwei immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, opportunity is also dangerous. This is indeed a good opportunity to destroy Silla, but don't forget that the biggest enemy of our Goguryeo is not Silla. China, but Datang in the southwest, if Silla asks for help from Datang like before, and Datang sends troops, what should we do? Will we be able to resist Datang's troops?"

Many people know the question Lin Wuwei mentioned, but they didn't immediately think of it just now.

But now that Lin Wuwei said it, they naturally have to consider this issue.

However, they couldn't think of a better way to deal with the colossal Datang.

Tian Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then, does Lin Aiqing have any good ideas?"

Lin Wuwei said: "Silla country can be destroyed, but there is one prerequisite, that is, soldiers are precious and fast. Before the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, we will join hands with Baekje to quickly destroy the country of Silla country. With the reinforcements coming, we won't be attacked by the enemy, what does His Majesty the King think?"

In war, the speed of soldiers is very important. Before the opponent has reacted, they will be killed directly. This is what many generals want to do, but many times, it is difficult to do it.

If a general can achieve the speed of his troops, then he will win half of the battle.

After Lin Wuwei finished speaking, the Goguryeo officials looked at each other, and then someone stood up.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Silla is not good, and it is not difficult for us to achieve the speed of our troops."

"That's right, Your Majesty, we can send troops to Silla. The Tang Dynasty is the fastest, and it will take a month or two to arrive. We don't need to worry."

"That is, their cavalry will arrive in a month at the earliest, but how many cavalry can they have?"
