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

Chapter 283: Crazy, attack Dengzhou and kill Li Er? Li Yuanji's decision!
When this thought came to his mind, Li Yuanji himself was shocked, and then he looked at Yang Cheng solemnly.

"How long has the King of Silla been out? Have you found out where he is?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng pondered for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, the King of Silla has been gone for no more than half a month!

As for the trajectory, during that period, a Silla merchant ship departed from the western port of Silla to Dengzhou, and returned to Silla from Dengzhou ten days later.

Although it is not known whether it was the King of Silla, the time of only that caravan fits this time.

I understand, it must be the King of Silla who went to Dengzhou!

But why did such a big change happen after he went to Dengzhou? "

Yang Cheng suddenly became excited, and then full of confusion. He couldn't understand why, even if the King of Silla had gone to Dengzhou, he wouldn't suddenly become like this.

He had been living a very miserable life these days. He had put all the affairs of Dongzhou Prefecture aside and asked Xue Wanche to help deal with them. He devoted all his energy to the situation between Silla and Baekje. However, the more he investigated, the more upset he became.

He thought this problem was the most serious and was the reason why the situation had changed like this, but he just couldn't figure it out. Yang Cheng couldn't understand it. He just went to Dengzhou. Who in Dengzhou could give the King of Silla such great sincerity?

You know, he had been helping Silla before. Without his help, Silla would have been bullied by Baekje long ago. Although he gained great benefits from both Silla and Baekje because of helping Silla, did he really help Silla?
Moreover, his layout in Silla, as can be seen from the number of people, is that he has deployed a lot of people. This is also the reason why when the people from the Tang Dynasty came to Silla, it was almost impossible to operate in the early days. He had already begun to make plans to drive the people from the Tang Dynasty out completely, and as a result, such an incident happened.

Now that the situation was getting worse, he had sent three urgent letters to Haikang, forcing Xue Wanche to stop his actions in Dongzhou Prefecture and assemble his troops to deal with the difficulties that would eventually have to be faced.

That is, if Silla really wanted to wipe out Baekje, he must help Baekje from being destroyed and leave a springboard for Li Yuanji to continue his layout in that place.

Yang Cheng, who had been tortured for so long, almost cried when he knew that Li Yuanji had come in person. The feeling of having tried his best but still being unable to save the situation was really painful for him.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Cheng who was excited and confused, and spoke slowly.

"You are confused, right? If Li Er was in Dengzhou, would you be able to figure it out?"

When Yang Cheng heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law, Li Er came to Dengzhou? That's impossible? He is not in Chang'an to handle state affairs, and the threat from the north has not been resolved yet. How dare he come to Dengzhou? He actually came to personally arrange the deployment of Silla and Baekje?"

Yang Cheng's face was full of disbelief. He had never thought about this at all. He really wanted to know why Li Er came to Dengzhou? And when did Li Er attach so much importance to this place? Did Li Er not care about the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Cheng with an expressionless face. When he thought of this possibility, he was surprised and shocked.

"You find it unbelievable, right? But often the things you think are the most unlikely are the most likely.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the only person who could make the King of Silla suddenly make such a decision was Li Er. No one else, even with Li Er's edict, could make the King of Silla so resolute.

Chang'an is far away from here. Judging from the time the King of Silla left and returned, it is absolutely impossible for him to go to Chang'an.

Including the successive arrivals of Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, plus Li Ji who sniped the Goguryeo army. Although the authenticity of Li Ji's arrival cannot be verified, this matter is definitely true.

Now that these three people have arrived, it is not impossible that Li Er will come here personally to deploy the arrangements.

Li Er suffered a great loss in Dongzhou Prefecture, and now it seems that he wants to get back at it here."

Li Yuanji sneered. Even though there was no evidence to prove that Li Er was in Dengzhou, he was very sure that Li Er was definitely in Dengzhou.

Because only in this way can we explain why the King of Silla became so firm, so determined, and so desperate to turn to the Tang Dynasty.

Not only was there a promise made by Li Er, but Li Yuanji also dared to guarantee that Li Er had definitely said bad things about him in front of the King of Silla. The most recent evidence was Dongzhou Prefecture.

He also sent people to interfere in the original situation in Japan. In the end, the two major political entities in Japan disappeared for various reasons. Japan was occupied by him and changed to Dongzhou Prefecture.

The King of Silla must have believed it, and was very determined. Coupled with Li Er's promise, such a change occurred.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Cheng, and was relieved to see that Yang Cheng was gradually coming back to his senses from his shock.

In fact, Yang Cheng was quite innocent in this matter. After all, who could have thought that Li Er would come to Dengzhou and personally arrange things here, and even send such a luxurious lineup to help Silla.

Even if it were him, if it were Yang Cheng, Li Yuanji would dare to say that he would have to suffer this loss because he was in the open and Li Er was in the dark.

The situation has now become like this, and we can only analyze it after gathering information from all sides.

If it happened when the incident just happened, who could have imagined that this change would suddenly occur? At that time, there was not much information to refer to, and no one would be able to help.

But even if he is innocent, he still has to deal with the problems once things here are dealt with. No matter what, even if Yang Cheng does not have enough energy due to his three positions, this matter is Yang Cheng's responsibility. If something goes wrong, he will not be able to avoid responsibility.

At this moment, Yang Cheng came back to his senses and suddenly looked at Li Yuanji with a crazy face.

"Brother-in-law, if Li Er is really in Dengzhou, let's gather all our troops and head straight for Dengzhou!
As long as Li Er is killed, the Tang Dynasty will belong to you, brother-in-law, and you will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

No matter how difficult it is to fight in Dengzhou, I believe Xue Wanche and Liu Rengui will definitely fight to the death. As long as Li Er stays, everything will be stable!"

Yang Cheng felt like his heart was about to jump out. Kill Li Er. As long as Li Er was killed, the whole world would belong to Li Yuanji. Who could then stop Li Yuanji from entering the Tang Dynasty, ruling Chang'an and becoming emperor?

The more Yang Cheng thought about it, the crazier he became. As long as he could kill Li Er, it would be worth it even if he sacrificed all the tens of thousands of troops here.

Who will care about the trivial things of Baekje and Silla by then?

If these two small countries want to be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will have to consider whether these two places are worth incorporating into the Tang Dynasty.

This is not only true for Yang Cheng. To be precise, in the hearts of all Han people, the Tang Dynasty is the real focus. In their view, everything they do now is in preparation for a future counterattack against the Tang Dynasty.

The position of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was originally held by Li Jiancheng, and now held by Li Er. Their great king, Li Yuanji, can also hold it! Yang Cheng was so excited that he couldn't help himself. At this moment, he even felt that his brain was lacking oxygen. In his eyes, Li Er had offered himself to them. Such a good opportunity to kill Li Er was right in front of them.

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, Yang Jianhe outside swallowed his saliva and could not help wanting to come in and persuade Li Yuanji to send troops to kill Li Er.

As long as Li Er is killed, the world can be settled, not to mention Baekje and Silla. In Yang Jianhe's eyes, even the prefectures that Li Yuanji currently holds can be abandoned, as long as the Tang Dynasty can be occupied and Li Yuanji can become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

By then, Feng Li, who was far away in Gaoda Kingdom, and Xie Shufang, who was in Tubo, would have all their troops recalled. Now that Li Er was dead, who in the Tang Dynasty could stop their armies?

Yang Jianhe's remaining sanity told him that he could not go in. Without Li Yuanji's order, his duty was to stay outside.

When Li Yuanji heard Yang Cheng's crazy words, he couldn't help but feel moved for a moment.

Do you feel any burden about killing Li Er?
Li Yuanji had no burden at all. If he had the chance, he would kill Li Er without hesitation.

Because if he doesn't kill Li Er, Li Er will kill him.

He came to Lingnan to develop his fiefdom. Although there were systemic reasons, the more important reason was that he had no choice. Did he really want to develop these places?

That's because he doesn't develop and he doesn't try his best to expand his fiefdom. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty is restored, he will have no way to stop Li Er.

If he fails to defeat Li Er, Li Er will definitely kill him to prevent future troubles.

He had no choice but to keep strengthening himself. Only by strengthening himself could he not only resist the attacks of Li Er's Tang Dynasty in the future, but even have the possibility of counterattacking Li Er's Tang Dynasty.

Now that Li Er has given him such an opportunity, Li Yuanji is particularly excited.

He dared to guarantee that Li Er had absolutely no idea that he had come here, let alone that he had brought Liu Rengui's navy here, with a total navy size of more than 20,000 people.

It is precisely because Li Er could never have imagined that if the rest of the Tang army wanted to come to support him, as long as his offensive was strong enough and at all costs, the Tang army in other places would certainly not be able to come to support him in the first time.

Li Yuanji's fingers kept tapping, trying to calm himself down. At this moment, his mind was occupied by excitement, and he had to stay calm and think carefully.

Li Yuanji knew very well that once he made the decision this time, it would completely ignite the war between him and the Tang Dynasty, so he needed to consider every aspect carefully.

At this moment, there was not much rationality left in his mind. The more this happened, Li Yuanji knew that he had to be more cautious in making a decision.

Li Er here does seem to be giving him a chance, but is this opportunity really an opportunity?
After a long time, Li Yuanji gradually calmed down, regained his sanity, and kept thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

In the end, Li Yuanji shook his head and rejected Yang Cheng's proposal.

"What you said is very good, but have you ever thought that as long as we launch an attack on Dengzhou, Li Er will definitely be able to detect something wrong at the first time, and what if he chooses to evacuate directly?

Or if he were to lure our army in front and then transfer troops from all over the Tang Dynasty to annihilate us, what would we do?
Attacking Dengzhou cannot guarantee that Li Er can be killed. If Li Er can be in Dengzhou, there must be a lot of troops waiting in the surrounding areas. The armies in other places are probably ready to go.

Moreover, if we go there by sea, no matter how weak the Tang navy is, they will surely be able to react when we attack the dock of Dengzhou, right?
Even if we capture the dock and land as soon as possible, it will be too late to kill Li Er, so let's forget about it.

The most important thing now is to deal with the situation in Baekje and Silla."

Li Yuanji was also very regretful. Attacking Dengzhou and killing Li Er sounded good, but upon closer thought, it was impossible to implement.

It’s not like Li Er can’t run, unless he can have a large army shuttle behind Li Er to intercept him, but this is simply unrealistic.

This is also the case when Li Er is in Dengzhou. If Li Er was in Silla, Li Yuanji would definitely kill Li Er at all costs this time.

If he were in Silla, his only way to retreat would be to Goguryeo. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo was not very close, and he had many ways to block Li Er's retreat.

The most important thing is that if Li Er was in Silla, he would not be able to retreat at sea. He was absolutely sure and confident that he could control the sea.

Li Yuanji also felt very sorry. In his opinion, if Li Er had gone to Silla, he would not have hesitated at all.

Yang Cheng was stunned after hearing this. It was obvious that he still couldn't accept it. He wanted to say something, but after listening to Li Yuanji's explanation, he was unable to speak.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as Li Yuanji said, Yang Cheng also knew everything, but his rationality had disappeared at that time, and he was only excited and agitated.

But no matter how rational he was, Yang Cheng still refused to give up.

"Brother-in-law, why don't we give it a try? We will send out a caravan and have General Liu Rengui follow closely behind, so that we can land as soon as possible.

Then let General Xue Wanche lead the army to break the city at all costs. As long as we are fast enough, Li Er may not be able to react in time.

As long as we surround Li Er, we will mobilize all our troops and we will definitely be able to kill Li Er and take down the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

Yang Cheng was still unwilling to give up. In his opinion, such an opportunity was too rare.

Li Yuanji still shook his head with a solemn expression.

"Yuan Lin, there's no need to say more. What you said is just an ideal situation. But the fact is that at this moment, whether it's a caravan or a fleet, as long as they get close to Dengzhou, the Tang navy will definitely stop them at all costs.

Once exposed, all efforts will be in vain.

When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will gather all its troops to fight against us, and the neighboring countries will be the ones who benefit.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty will be invaded, and our prefectures here will also be targeted and pounced upon by those people.

Even if we want to fight the Tang Dynasty, we must clean up the surrounding area. We are in a civil war with the Tang Dynasty and we cannot allow outsiders to interfere!"
