Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 282: Li Er is proud, Li Yuanji suffers heavy losses in the intelligence network
Li Er was very curious about what Li Yuanji had done to Baekje that made Baekje so arrogant that it even ignored the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Junxian showed the information to Li Er, Li Er was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"This King of Qi is really unique. He actually asked people to instigate the eight major families of Baekje to keep praising them. From the top to the bottom, they all praised them, making the eight major families, including Buyeo Zhang, become arrogant. It's really a good plan.

Just imagine how mean this guy is. He is close to Silla, and in order to prevent me from intervening in Baekje, he even used such a strategy.

However, no matter how cunning he was, he could never have expected that I would come here in person and meet the King of Silla.

This time, I want to see how to deal with Yang Cheng, who he sent over."

The "he" that Li Er mentioned was referring to Li Yuanji. What Li Yuanji did to Baekje made him really angry and amused.

Li Er dared to say that if he had not come and met the King of Silla, Li Yuanji would have really accomplished this, and the King of Silla would definitely stand on Li Yuanji's side.

There is no other reason. When Silla needed help, it was Li Yuanji who stepped forward to help it. However, the help Li Yuanji provided was extremely limited, and he was also secretly helping Baekje.

This time, Li Er directly told the King of Silla about the affairs of Japan, and also told him that Li Yuanji had secretly contacted Baekje and provided support to Baekje. The King of Silla did not hesitate at all and threw himself into his arms again.

Li Yuanji wanted to prevent him from interfering in the affairs of Baekje and Silla, but now he was going to cut off the source of the problem. He wanted to see what Li Yuanji would do.

Now that the King of Silla has turned against him, if Li Yuanji does not want to die himself, he can only support Baekje.

But now the Baekje are more arrogant than the others. Even though they are being defeated by the Silla army, they still have mysterious self-confidence.

When Li Yuanji went to win over Baekje, Li Er really wanted to see what kind of expression Li Yuanji would have when his own trick backfired on him.

Li Junxian also smiled when he heard this. The situation here was becoming more and more favorable for them. Li Er was in a good mood, and he was in a good mood too.

“Your Majesty, I think the King of Qi didn’t know that Your Majesty would come here to personally deal with the situation between Baekje and Silla, otherwise the King of Qi would definitely regret using this trick.

I am wondering, if the King of Qi knew what happened here, would he come here in person?

If the King of Qi really came, he would personally watch his own forces in Baekje and Silla being squeezed out, and Baekje being destroyed, completely destroying the King of Qi's road to the north. I wonder how the King of Qi would feel. "

Upon hearing this, Li Er's smile widened.

"Don't talk about you. I am also looking forward to it. Previously, the Tang army was always tied up in the north. He defeated me in Japan for a while. This time, it's my turn to defeat him.

Go and send a message to Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanshu, asking them to speed up the attack on Baekje, and at the same time pay attention to the direct military action of the King of Qi.

He then sent another order to Li Ji, asking him to return immediately and join the attack on Baekje after dealing with the Goguryeo army that was supporting Baekje, and at the same time command the entire army, including the Silla army, and try to let the Silla army charge ahead, which was to help Silla destroy Baekje.

Our people will try their best to hide in the dark and let the Silla army go in the front. Some things, even if everyone knows, even if everyone knows that people from the Tang Dynasty are among them, but as long as those people do not appear under the flag of the Tang Dynasty, what can they do!

Remember, you must intensify your offensive and capture it as soon as possible, while the King of Qi has no time to react, and directly eliminate Baekje.

By that time, the situation had already been decided. It was too late for the King of Qi to send troops. He could only endure it! "

Some things are known, but if someone dares to talk about them outside, Li Er will not tolerate it. The army of the Tang Dynasty can really destroy a country.

This time, he wanted to end the battle quickly. If Li Yuanji didn't let him intervene, he would forcefully intervene, completely eliminate Li Yuanji's forces, and cut off Li Yuanji's way to the north.

Now it is Baekje, and next it will be Dongzhou Prefecture. That is the Dongzhou Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty. It is normal for him to take back the Tang Dynasty, right?

Li Junxian immediately went down to pass on the order, and the smile on Li Er's face became even wider.

"Prince Qi, this time I want to see what you can do to fight me with the situation here! Previously in Dongzhou Prefecture, I just took the throne, the Tang Dynasty was unstable, and there were Turks in the north, so I let you take advantage.

This time, here, I will let you taste the taste of failure."

Li Er's laughter echoed in the house. After calming down, Li Er was even thinking about when he should take control of Silla after Silla destroyed Baekje, and what name he should give this place.

Originally, Li Er looked down on these places. They were just small countries and it would be easy for the Tang Dynasty to crush them.

But Li Yuanji's development and continuous expansion made him realize that even a small country should be expanded to become part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially since Li Yuanji's fiefdom was getting bigger and bigger, but the territory of the Tang Dynasty remained unchanged, Li Er was getting anxious. He didn't feel this way before, but now he wanted to incorporate all the surrounding countries into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and make them part of its territory.

It was because of the existence of Li Yuanji, an outlier, especially the several places that were expanded one after another. He originally did not pay attention to them at all, but they turned out to be such good places. Li Er saw it and was jealous in his heart.

These were the reasons that made Li Er change his mind and insist on expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever the Tang army went, it should be the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

On the other side, Li Yuanji finally arrived in Zhuzhou after five days of sailing.

Chikushu was formed by redividing ten areas including Chikuzen into Chikushu, which has five counties under it. This area is Kyushu Island.

When he arrived in Zhuzhou, Li Yuanji couldn't help but sigh that in Dongzhou Prefecture, due to the terrain, traveling by sea is really faster than traveling by land, especially now that the speed of ships has been greatly increased, so the time taken is shorter.

When he walked down from the dock, Yang Cheng was already waiting for Li Yuanji's arrival.

"Brother-in-law, you are finally here."

Yang Cheng watched Li Yuanji get off the boat and ran straight to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Cheng and smiled. At this moment, Yang Cheng was obviously much more restrained. He also knew that there were other people around and was not as presumptuous as usual.

He also saw the changes in Yang Cheng. Although he was excited, the worry between his brows was also extremely obvious.

Patting Yang Cheng on the shoulder, the two continued to walk into the city. "I know a little about what happened here. I'll tell you the details when I get back."

Yang Cheng nodded seriously, and Li Yuanji was also surprised. The more serious Yang Cheng appeared, the more it reflected that the situation here was very bad. Otherwise, with Yang Cheng's temperament, he would not be like this in front of him.

After returning to the city, Li Yuanji left Yang Cheng alone, and then Yang Cheng threw himself in front of Li Yuanji.

"Brother-in-law, I am incompetent. One hundred and twenty-seven of our people in Silla died, and only two hundred and thirty-eight escaped. All our goods in Silla were sent back by Silla. Those who died were killed by spies from within Silla.

I have no reason to send troops, and the Tang Dynasty's aid to Silla has increased directly. According to the latest situation, at least 20,000 Tang troops have entered Silla.

Brother-in-law, I failed to do well, which led to the failure of our deployment in Silla. In the end, I don’t even know the reason. I feel sorry for you, brother-in-law. "

Seeing Yang Cheng constantly admitting his mistakes, with a sad look on his face and an extremely guilty look, Li Yuanji sighed in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, Yang Cheng cannot escape responsibility. Such a big change happened in Silla, but they don't even know the reason. More than a hundred people died. This loss can be said to be heavy.

Li Yuanji did not go to help, and only spoke after a while.

"Okay, now that the situation in Silla has deteriorated, what I want to know is, didn't the people you deployed in Silla know about Silla's actions in advance?
One hundred and twenty-seven people died. These people were all good at gathering information. How did your previous deployment allow Silla to know so many strongholds? "

Yang Cheng said bitterly: "Brother-in-law, there was something wrong with the people we bribed. After being arrested, they forced us to reveal a lot of our bases, and many of the surrounding bases were eliminated. This news was sent out from a secret point arranged outside the city.

After receiving the news, the other strongholds immediately began to evacuate. The spies lurking in the Silla palace reported that the King of Silla had gone out for a trip and launched a cleanup of the interior after returning.

The Tang generals Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, together with Xue Wanshu, Wang Da, and Quan Wanchun who had originally gone to Silla, carried out the operation quickly, and almost wiped out all the strongholds and manpower in the Silla royal city.

The Silla court was purged by these people, and now the King of Silla has completely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuanji was even more depressed. He really didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji were actually in Silla. Li Er was in Silla and had invested so many people and such a strong force.

In addition to these people, there were at least 20,000 Tang troops entering. Li Yuanji could see that Li Er had really invested a lot of money.

As for the personnel deployed in Silla, some were sent from this side, and some were recruited Silla people and people who bribed the Silla court. Li Yuanji really did not expect that the King of Silla would be so decisive and would just do a purge as he said.

Now, no matter where the King of Silla went or what he did, he must demand an explanation from Silla for what the King of Silla has done.

Repatriating all their goods in Silla and eliminating his people on the pretext of internal cleansing would leave Yang Cheng with no reason to send troops, but for him, none of this mattered.

Li Yuanji suddenly thought of something and looked at Yang Cheng.

"Let me ask you, according to the initial situation, the people sent by Li Er should have gone to Baekje, and you said in the initial message that you were going to Baekje, so why did you suddenly go to Silla?

You should know this news. There is a problem with the intelligence network in Silla, so there can’t be another problem with the intelligence network in Baekje.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng's mouth became even more bitter. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long time, he finally spoke reluctantly.

“Brother-in-law, the people sent by the Tang Dynasty did go to Baekje first, but because of our previous deployment to Baekje, the people of Baekje were quite disgusted with the people sent by the Tang Dynasty, and they were unable to intervene in Baekje’s situation.

Moreover, Baekje still held the dominant position between Baekje and Silla at that time. When meeting Wang Da and others, Baekje King Buyeo Jang even said that he would not be afraid even if the Tang Dynasty came.

So the people from the Tang Dynasty went to Silla. In fact, even if these people went to Silla, the situation in Silla was still dominated by us.

Including Baekje. Although Baekje is becoming more and more arrogant now, I have been managing it for a relatively long time and still have sources of intelligence.

But because the King of Silla went out that time, the Tang army arrived after he came back, and they started the purge right away. I didn't have time to react at all, and the news hadn't even been passed on. All the information was gradually reported later.

At present, the intelligence we have on Baekje is not very in-depth, because Baekje has no respect for us at all.

Now half of Baekje's territory has been conquered by Silla, and all the generals of the Tang Dynasty are hiding in the Silla army to provide combat support.

Including military equipment, the Tang Dynasty provided 10,000 sets at once, and Silla paid a lot of money and food to the Tang Dynasty.

During the war, even the Tang army would appear. In the battle of the mountain city seven days ago, the Silla army had been unable to capture the city for a long time. Finally, the Tang army disguised themselves as the Silla army and, under the leadership of the Tang general Hou Junji, they captured the mountain city in just one day, which the Silla army had failed to capture in three days.

By the way, brother-in-law, there is another piece of news, I don’t know if it is true.

After Baekje was defeated, Goguryeo sent troops to support Baekje and urgently mobilized 20,000 troops, but was defeated by an army of 10,000 led by Tang general Li Ji. More than half of Goguryeo's troops were killed and the army fled.

This news was obtained by people in Baekje from a letter sent by Goguryeo to Baekje, and its authenticity cannot be verified.

It is said that when Goguryeo saw that the Tang army had come out in person and almost destroyed Goguryeo's own 20,000 troops in one battle, Goguryeo did not dare to continue sending troops to help Baekje. "

Li Yuanji frowned deeply when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the situation between Baekje and Silla would suddenly deteriorate to this extent.

Now there are 20,000 troops, and not only have Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji shown up, but this damn Li Ji is also here. When did Li Er pay so much attention to Baekje and Silla?

Moreover, although the Silla army was now in the front, the Tang army was already on the back and had even sniped the Goguryeo army.

At this time, Li Yuanji no longer cared about the large sum of money and grain that Silla paid to the Tang Dynasty. What he cared about was who the Silla king went to meet on this trip.

After this trip, the situation immediately changed drastically. The King of Silla completely stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty. Who on earth was the person he met who had such great power to make the King of Silla stand on his side directly and offend him so recklessly without fear of his revenge?

Li Yuanji thought about it again and again, and the only person he could think of was Li Er!

Because no one else has the energy to make the King of Silla suddenly make this decision.
