Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 469
"The people of Silla use border provocations and provocations in an attempt to foreshadow the future division of Goguryeo. Then Jin Yuxin can be asked to lead the army south to attack Goguryeo. If he stays in Jincheng, he will It's a tiger in its den, and it will surely hurt me!"

"Jin Yuxin is over [-] this year, right?" Gao Kan said with a smile, "How can we stand up to the exhaustion of soldiers and horses? Attacking Goguryeo is not something that Silla people care about, so how could they agree to this condition!"

"This is simple, as long as the Silla people send more troops, such as 5 people, or more, you can use the land of Koryo as compensation. The Silla people are greedy for land and population, and they will definitely agree. The Silla king is suspicious of him. Brother, if Jin Yuxin is not allowed, others may not be able to deal with Brother Renshou, so he has to agree!"

"That's right, that's a good idea!" Gao Kan clapped his palms and said with a smile, "Wang Dudu really guessed into the heart of the King of Silla, even if he knew it was a pit, he would jump into it!" Li Ji also nodded slightly and remained silent.After Kim Famin ascended the throne, he was quite suspicious of his younger brother Kim In-won, who had made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang-Silla Alliance.This time when troops were sent to conquer Goguryeo, Jin Renwen must be the chief general of the southern line Tang-Silla. If Silla sent [-] troops as Wang Wenzuo said, would Jin Renwen turn his guns back after defeating Goguryeo? Shi Silla seized the throne?In order to avoid this possibility, the best way is to make Kim Yu-shin the commander-in-chief of the Silla army. He is the only person who can suppress Jin In-wen regardless of prestige and ability, and is also trustworthy.

"What should I do after transferring Jin Yuxin to Goguryeo?" Gao Kan asked: "Should we take the opportunity to annex his army, and then return to attack Silla? Not to mention that Jin Yuxin, an old fox, has become a master, and he will definitely be prepared. It is not so easy to occupy him. It’s cheap; besides, I’m afraid it will lose the dignity of a big country, and the court might not be able to justify it, right?”

"No!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "Jin Yuxin will definitely be on guard, I have no intention of hitting him."

"Oh? Then where are you going to deal with? Are you going to attack Silla directly? I'm afraid this is even worse? If Silla wants to send 5 people, the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion will at least send 2 to [-] people? No one will send troops. Silla?"

Wang Wenzuo smiled, walked to the map, pointed and described it in detail for a while, Gao Kan was speechless for a while after listening, he couldn't help stroking his beard, and finally he asked Li Ji: "Mr. Ying, what do you think of this matter?" Is it possible?"

Li Ji didn't answer Gao Kan's question. He looked at the map for a while and asked, "Wen Zuo, why did you do this? Silla is quite respectful to me!"

"British Lord!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "Silla is still obedient to my Tang Dynasty, but it didn't treat us Tang Jun and Xiongjin Governor's Mansion in Baekje at the beginning! Back then we were surrounded by rebels in Sibi In the city, there was a shortage of food and firewood, and when a mouse was selling for thirty or forty copper coins, the Silla people were busy seizing the land of the Baekje people, and ignored our pleas for help. Later, we defeated the Japanese and the rebels through bitter battles. After pacifying Baekje, the Silla people still fought with us on the frontier for three days and two days to fight for land and water; and—”

"Wen Zuo!" Li Ji raised his voice by three points, suppressing Wang Wenzuo's voice: "If you just because of these things, I'm afraid I can't agree with your strategy! After all, Master Tang Wang can't just because of your personal grievances." And turn your guns to attack your allies!"

"My personal grievance?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned: "Mr. Yingying, how can this be called my personal grievance? I was not the one who was besieged and starved in the city of Sibi at the beginning, but the Wang Shi stationed in Baekje; now and It is not me, Wang Wenzuo, who is in conflict with the Silla people, but the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Wen Zuo, you still don't understand what I mean!" Li Ji said: "At the beginning, the Silla Commission begged for an alliance with our Tang Dynasty, not for anything else, but to eliminate the old enemy Baekje and regain the homeland; It is because Baekje formed an alliance with Goguryeo. After forming an alliance with Silla, it can break Goguryeo's arm and attack it from the north to the south. Silla has fulfilled the covenant. As for the things you mentioned, they are all ordinary things, and they are among ordinary villages. In order to compete for water sources and field boundaries, fighting and killing is also a common thing!"

Wang Wenzuo frowned. Li Ji's answer surprised him a bit. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does the Duke of England think that the things I said about the Silla people are nothing?"

"That's right! Silla people do have selfish intentions, but who can be selfish? As long as he does not violate the original covenant and abides by the courtier's duty, there is no need to go to war!"

"What about the fact that after the fall of Goguryeo that I just mentioned, the people of Silla will lure officials and people to profit from it?"

"The things you said are all after the fall of Goguryeo! The purpose of this old man's sending troops is to destroy Goguryeo. Before the fall of Goguryeo, this old man will not think so much. The most important thing in using troops is to focus on one thing, not half-hearted, Wen What do you think?"

Faced with Li Ji's question, Wang Wenzuo opened his mouth and was speechless. What Li Ji said just now is that there can only be one strategic goal in a strategic plan, not two. All your actions must revolve around This goal should not be both. This is what Wang Wenzuo has always followed, but in Wang Wenzuo's heart at this time, Goguryeo is already a dead body, and its demise is a matter of time. Put forward the strategy of killing two birds with one stone by false means.

"What the British government said is true, it is a slip of the tongue!"

"The Governor's Mansion of Xiongjin is the old land of Baekje, bordering Silla, and it is our duty to be on guard against them, and we cannot say that you have made a mistake!" Li Ji said with a smile: "It's just that this matter is a secret in the military. Leak out!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Seeing Wang Wenzuo's back disappearing from the door, Gao Kan suddenly laughed: "Grand Li, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead! This Wang Wenzuo is very lucky. According to my opinion, if the strategy he just proposed is implemented, the possibility of success will be great." Big!"

"Yeah!" Li Ji looked a little cold: "If I let the old man do it, there is at least a [-]% chance of winning!"

"[-]% chance of winning? Then why not use it?" Gao Kan asked in surprise. He thought that Li Ji rejected Wang Wenzuo's plan because he thought the odds were too low.

"Do you really think that destroying Silla is a good thing for Datang?"

"Why not?" Gao Kan asked in surprise: "Didn't Wang Wenzuo just say that? If Silla was here, it would definitely let go of its arms after the demise of Goguryeo and win over the people. Then we are fighting for nothing?"

"With Wang Wenzuo here, Silla can't take advantage of it!" Li Ji said.

"You really value him!" Gao Kan laughed.

"This man is deep and magnanimous, he cares more about wealth than men, he can command the strength of people, command the army, win against the enemy, and has no strategy!" Li Ji sighed: "Sometimes he reminds me of Duke Wei!"

"Wei Gong?" Gao Kan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized, his eyes widened: "You just said Li Mi?"

Li Ji let out a long sigh, and did not speak. As the only surviving heroic general of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Wei Gong Li Ji talked about was his old boss, Li Mi, the leader of the Wagangzhai Army.Li Mi called him Duke Wei because Li Mi had received the canonization of Yang Yu, the emperor of the Eastern Capital, and was granted the titles of Taiwei, Shangshuling, Marshal of Daxingtai Marching in Dongnan Road, and Wei Guogong.Li Mi is the great-grandson of Li Bi, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was also the person closest to the throne of the Son of Heaven among the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was a famous military master at that time.Li Ji was very loyal to him. Li Mi was later killed by the Tang army, and Li Ji buried his body.At this time, he compared Wang Wenzuo with Li Mi, and the hidden meaning was really hard to understand.

"This—" Gao Kan said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you think Wang Wenzuo too highly, don't you? How can he compare to Li Mi?"

"Wang Wenzuo's reputation is not as good as Duke Wei's, but if he was the one who commanded the Wagang Army at that time, it might not be the late emperor who took over the world?" Li Ji sighed.

"Why do you say that?"

"Duke Wei defeated the Sui army many times, but the east was strong and he could not go down. The Sui army was defeated and then recovered. The last battle was defeated by Wang Shichong, and the reputation of the whole life was ruined." Li Ji said: "Wang Wenzuo was good at building siege equipment. He is the leader of the Wagang Army, I am afraid that when the late emperor was still in Taiyuan, the Wagang Army had already broken through the Eastern Capital and entered the pass!"

"His siege equipment is so powerful?" Gao Kan was taken aback: "The city wall of the Eastern Capital is no joke, and the defense equipment is also very sophisticated. The first emperor had no choice but to build a long siege. Dou Jiande was smashed in the tiger prison, and Wang Shichong saw that the situation was over, so he surrendered himself! If there is a real attack, I am afraid that the late emperor would not be able to attack it in a hurry!"

It turns out that Luoyang City at that time was built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The famous architect Yu Wenkai was in charge of designing the eastern capital at that time. He employed 200 million people every month, and tens of thousands of wealthy households migrated from various places. The city walls are strong. Towering, straddling both sides of the Luo River, with a well-stocked treasury, it was a famous fortified city at that time. The last three-party decisive battle in the war of hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty was actually carried out around the competition for Luoyang City.However, no matter whether it was Li Mi before or Li Shimin later, after winning the field battle, they did not choose to launch a fierce attack, but chose an indirect route to achieve the goal. This is the best proof of the strength of Luoyang's city defense.

"You will see it for yourself in a few days!" Li Ji said, "However, there are so many mountain cities in Baekje, we all know that, it is not surprising that he was able to quell the rebellion back then, and he is good at governing equipment!"

"In this case, why not adopt Wang Wenzuo's suggestion and destroy the two kingdoms of Koguryo and Silla in one fell swoop, you can leave your name in history, and we can also get some glory!" Gao Kan asked.

"Leave a name in history?" Li Ji said with a smile: "This is indeed a great temptation! People who are over seventy are not young. At this age, all the power, wealth and honor are fleeting. The only thing I care about is the life after death." It's a good name, if there is an extra note on the tomb Taoist stele, it will be comfortable to think about it! Hey, what a pity, what a pity!"

"What a pity?" Gao Kan asked.

"Wang Wenzuo is too much like Duke Wei!"

Gao Kan was stunned. This was the second time Li Ji said that Wang Wenzuo was like his old boss. Obviously, this time it didn't mean that Wang Wenzuo knew the art of war and could win people to death.In history, Li Mi is not only known for being good at using soldiers and people, but also for being ambitious and unwilling to be inferior. It is said that when he was young, he relied on his father's shadow to serve as the governor of the Zuoqin Guard Mansion and the Qianniu of the East Palace. bodyguard.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once saw him among the guards, and asked his subordinate Yu Wenshu: "Who is the black-faced kid in the guard of honor on the left just now?" Yu Wenshu replied: "He belongs to the late Pu Shan Gong Li Kuan. My son is Li Mi." Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty said, "This child's Gu Pan look is very unusual, don't let him serve as a guard in the palace." This time Li Ji was obviously referring to the latter.

"Mr. British, are you exaggerating? In my opinion, Wang Wenzuo is not the kind of madman who doesn't know how to measure?"

"Hehe!" Li Ji laughed and said, "Do you know? Before Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty planned to send troops to conquer Goguryeo, Duke Wei never thought of rebelling! Let Silla pull Wang Wenzuo's hind legs and treat him , it may not be a bad thing for Datang!"

————————————————————————

When Wang Wenzuo returned to the residence, everyone stepped aside carefully, holding their breath and whispering, lest they become a target to vent their anger.

"Master, do you want dinner?" Cao Wenzong asked.

"I'm not hungry, we'll talk about it later!" Wang Wenzuo sat on the chair sullenly, and the soft nail he touched at Li Ji just now was somewhat unexpected.He has been thinking about this strategy for a long time, and he thinks it has a high payoff.In his opinion, an old man like Li Ji has nothing to desire, the only thing he longs for is fame. If he can pacify the two kingdoms in one fell swoop, his reputation will definitely rise in a straight line, even surpassing Li Jing, the Duke of Wei who was as famous as him in Zhenguan.To actually be able to resist such a temptation, this old man is really extraordinary.

Cao Wenzong saw that Wang Wenzuo's expression was wrong, so he waved his hand to signal the maidservants in the room to back down. He stood behind Wang Wenzuo without saying a word. After a while, Wang Wenzuo suddenly let out a long breath and asked: Now, how are Wu Xiaoyi and Xiaoman doing now? Do you have any news about them?"

"Xiaoyi and Xiaoman?" Cao Wenzong didn't expect why Wang Wenzuo suddenly asked these two people: "I don't know, the last news was more than three months ago!"

"Are they all okay?"

"All good, all good!" Cao Wenzong hurriedly replied, "I heard that they have already set up a foothold there, and opened several mules and horse shops, wine shops, bakeries and so on!"

"Oh? Not bad, not bad!" Wang Wenzuo nodded with great interest: "You write a letter to them and ask them to clearly describe the situation in Silla. I want to know more about it!"

"Yes!" Cao Wenzong had roughly guessed what Wang Wenzuo wanted, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, and nodded: "The subordinates will prepare immediately!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded, and he stretched out his right hand to caress the handle of his knife. The end of the handle of the precious knife given to him by Jin Renwen was a ball of ivory, which had been polished extremely smooth by the palm of his hand.He drew the knife out of its sheath, and saw the ripples left by the dull steel blade after thousands of tempers.

"If you mess up, kill it!"

　Yesterday, my family was busy with the house, so I stopped for a day.

　　In the discussion area, I saw someone saying that the common people were suffering and the common people were suffering. How should I put it, at least in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the people in Weibo Town were doing well.When I compare Weibo with Jiangnan, I actually want to say that brave people will be free, and free people are often happy.Of course, the dental soldiers in Weibo Town were killed by Zhu Wen in the end, but they have been happy for at least 150 years, right?
