Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 959 The Provocation of Persia
In Qin Tian's view, the real coming of all nations should be those countries willing to come.

It's not that Datang used money to attract them.

However, Qin Tian also knew that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

Datang has the ability to attract those small countries to pay tribute willingly, but it cannot make those medium-sized countries willingly pay tribute.

Between countries, interests will never change.

It is really impossible for a country to fall in love with Datang.

Therefore, Qin Tian knew that even if the Great Tang was really powerful, many countries might not be willing to pay tribute.

Therefore, although he was uncomfortable with Li Shimin's use of money to attract other countries, he also knew that this was the best way for Datang to save face.

After Li Shimin said this, the envoys from various countries immediately became excited, and immediately after that, they began to come forward to express their thanks.

But when the Persian envoy numbly expressed his thanks, his words made Li Shimin's face change slightly.

"Tian Khan is so generous. My country of Persia is convinced of Datang. From then on, my country of Persia is willing to live in peace with Datang and develop together."

When it came to this point, there was no problem, and Li Shimin was also very happy to hear this sentence, although he knew that the numb mention was not sincere.

But then, the situation was different.

"It's a pity that the envoys from the Silla Kingdom didn't come, otherwise they would have been rewarded by Tian Khan, tsk tsk."

When these words came out, not only Li Shimin's expression changed, but people like Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling also froze slightly.

Apparently, what Numb mentioned touched Datang's sore spot.

The kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty came to the DPRK, many countries have come, Western Turks, Tubo, Persia, etc., which are stronger than the Silla Kingdom, have all come, but a small Silla Kingdom does not give face, this is not a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty ?

Ma Muti is provoking the relationship between Datang and Silla.

If Datang and Silla go to war, even if Persia will not take action against Datang for the time being, they can still wait and see.

You know, a war requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is very helpful to consume Datang's strength. If there is another accident in Datang in this war, it will be a big problem for their Persian country. It's even a good thing.

The atmosphere in the school grounds suddenly froze.

There was a murderous look in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Silla is not convinced, but I will soon let them understand some truths."

Although he knew that Ma Muti was trying to provoke a dispute between them and Silla, but Li Shimin still said a cruel word, because Silla's behavior really made him very embarrassed.

If he doesn't get back his face, what face will Li Shimin have?
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jing's expression changed slightly. Obviously, he could hear that Li Shimin wanted to use troops against Silla. However, they just fought against the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the most important thing now is to recuperate, not Fight again.

However, Li Jing only changed his expression, but did not speak.

Now is not the time.

At this time, Numbiti showed a slight smile, and his goal was achieved.

After the thanks from the envoys of various countries, everyone said some other things, and walked around with Li Shimin again. It was not until the afternoon that the meeting of all nations coming to court was finally over.

Although it is a meeting of all nations coming to court, the whole process is not a waste of time, it only takes half a day.

And after the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Come to Court Conference, if the envoys of those countries want to leave, they can go in with the rewards from the Tang Dynasty. If they don't want to leave, the Tang Dynasty will not drive them away.

But in Datang, one must live in peace.

Chang'an City is still lively.

However, the imperial court no longer cares much about the coming of all nations to the DPRK.

This morning, Li Shimin looked very bad.

"The kingdom of Silla didn't come to pay tribute, nor did they send anyone to explain the reason. What do you think about this?"

After Li Shimin said such a sentence, the officials in the court looked at each other. It was obvious that Li Shimin was concerned about what Nu Mu mentioned. asked this question.

"My lord, according to reports from our spies, there was a coup d'état in Silla, and the military power was taken over by Tian Yigeng, the power minister of Silla. After Tian Yigeng took control of Silla, he didn't want to be friendly with Tang Dynasty. King Cui Xianzhi of Silla There is no way."

The Silla Kingdom is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once sent hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer. Unfortunately, because of the terrain, the conquest failed. When the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Silla Kingdom took the opportunity to develop , although the strength cannot be compared with the current Datang, but it is not weak.

However, since the founding of Datang, the relationship between Silla and Datang has been pretty good.

This time, because of the coup d'état, he and Datang turned against each other.

After the news came out, the officials immediately shouted.

"Your Majesty, no matter what happens in Silla, if they don't come to pay tribute, they just won't give me Tang Dynasty face, and the last general will see them and beat them."

"Your Majesty, I also think that we should take this opportunity to attack Silla. Besides, we are famous as teachers. Since Tian Yigeng controls the government of Silla, we can use the banner of supporting the king of Silla."

"Haha, what else is there to be famous for fighting Silla? I, Datang, can fight whoever I want."

"That's right, that's right, Your Majesty, let's send troops to Silla..."

A group of people murmured that Li Shimin wanted to use troops against Silla deep in his heart. After all, Silla made him lose face, and he had to beat anyone who made him lose face.

Otherwise, wouldn't his Heavenly Khan be in vain?

However, at this moment, Li Jing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although the Silla Kingdom did not come to pay tribute, it is justifiable. My Tang Dynasty is angry, and it is not impossible to use troops against him, but I think it is better It should be delayed for another two years, and now I, Datang, still have to develop for a few years."

Although as a general, Li Jing also likes to fight, because it is his destiny, but the actual situation of Datang must also be considered when fighting. Now that Datang has wiped out the Turks, the strength of the army has been compromised, and it will take a year or two to recover .

Moreover, the old Turkic people migrated to Datang, and their food must be provided by Datang. In this way, Datang has less food and grass available for war.

Therefore, it is safer to hoard food for several years and then use troops against Silla after the food is available.

Li Jing expressed his point of view, but as soon as he said it, someone began to refute it.

"General Li, this statement is wrong. Silla hit me in the face of Tang Dynasty this year. If we don't vent our anger immediately, I'm afraid it won't work. Isn't it ridiculous to attack again in two years?"

"That's right, His Majesty has just become a Heavenly Khan, how can a little Silla be bullied?"
