Chapter 667
After Silla hosted a banquet in honor of Li Chongjiu, the two sides actually had further discussions.In fact, any banquet is nonsense. It seems that Silla people like to finalize things during meals.

The two sides were meeting with the top leaders, and the negotiations went very smoothly.

Li Chongjiu agreed with Silla to set up a branch office in Youjing, and sent officials to stay in Youjing to negotiate and handle the diplomatic affairs between Silla and Zhao.The same state of Zhao also set up an embassy in Silla.Da Zhao's embassy will be set up in Jilin, the capital of Silla, and a consulate in Dangxiang City.In addition to the consulates set up in Youjing, Silla also set up consulates in Duli Town and Dengzhou.

Princess Deman also asked Li Chongjiu to increase his military strength in Dangxiang City, but Li Chongjiu did not agree, but excused that he had insufficient troops now.

After the two sides have negotiated the big things, there are some details that need to be finalized. However, Li Chongjiu is no longer needed to negotiate at this time, and Zhou Zhou and others will be fine.

When Li Chongjiu was about to leave Dangxiang City, he suddenly heard that Baekje sent an envoy to visit Li Chongjiu in Dangxiang City.

The founder of the Baekje Kingdom was On Jo, the son of Gojumong, the ruler of Goguryeo.After Gojumong became the lord of Goguryeo, he wanted to establish the son of his ex-wife to succeed him as the lord.Boiliu and Wen Zuo were born to Gao Zhumeng's wife, Zhao Xinu, who was from the Boiliu clan.

The two were worried about being persecuted by their half-brother, so they left Goguryeo and came to the south to establish a country.Wen Zuo built a city in Weili City. At first, ten ministers assisted him, so the name of the country was Shiji.Later, he conquered the country of Brother Boilu and took in its people. As more and more people gathered under his command, the name of the country was changed to Baekje.

Baekje has never had any contact with Dazhao, but it is quite intriguing to come to him at this time.It seems that the Silla people have been preventing Baekje envoys from seeing Li Chongjiu, but the current Dangxiang City is actually the territory of Zhao State, and it is not the Silla people who can make the decision.

Li Chongjiu asked Zhang Xuansu and Gao Tao to meet Baekje's envoy for him.The two sides talked all night, and Zhang Xuansu immediately reported to Li Chongjiu the situation of the talks between the two sides.

It turned out that Baekje, after hearing that Li Chongjiu captured Goguryeo and Pyongyang, the whole country was shocked, in other words, it was scared to pee.Because this time Li Chongjiu stationed troops in the party, and the sea was full of warships, the King of Baekje was worried whether Li Chongjiu would join Silla here, which would be detrimental to Baekje.

You must know that Sibi, the capital of Baekje, is also within the attack range of the warships of the Zhao Jun Navy, and it is closer to Dengzhou, the base camp of the Zhao Jun Navy. In fact, it is more likely to be attacked by the Navy than Pyongyang.

Li Chongjiu was able to break Pyongyang, the most powerful of the three countries of North Korea and China, and of course conquer Sibi.King Fu Yuzhang of Baekje mobilized the whole country and was ready to fight the invading Zhao army at any time. At the same time, he sent an important minister, the minister of Neifa Zuoping, to Dangxiang City to meet Li Chongjiu.

Besides, the Baekje envoy was even more terrified when he saw Zhao Jun's floating ship on the way to Dangxiang City.He was worried when he came here, but when he saw Zhao Jun's force, he was even more frightened.When Zhang Xuansu received the meeting, he threatened at will. The Baekje envoy said directly that the king of Baekje was willing to be a vassal of Zhao Guo, and sent his second son to Youjing to study in the Imperial Prison. He was actually a hostage of Zhao Guo, and he was willing to open The port, for Zhao Jun's caravan to go back and forth, just begging Zhao Guo not to join forces with Silla to attack Baekje.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he didn't expect that, he just came to Dangxiang City casually, and in the end, he scared Baekje even more among the three kingdoms of North Korea.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said to Zhang Xuansu: "Zhang Aiqing, how do you think I should answer?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "Baekje seems to know how to be afraid, so our army has already received the effect of defeating others without fighting. But Silla and Baekje are feuds, and Baekje has always been close to Wa. , I am afraid that he is only temporarily forced to become a minister at this time, not sincerely. Besides, if Baekje is really accepted as a minister, then once Silla and Baekje conflict, what should be done. And now Silla and Zhao are close allies There will also be gaps in the relationship."

Zhang Xuansu's materials are generally inseparable.

Li Chongjiu considered Zhang Xuansu's opinion for a while and said: "I have already made up my mind about this matter, so you can do as I say."

The envoy of Baekje stayed up all night the next day. After seeing Zhang Xuansu, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, I wonder if His Majesty Emperor Zhao is willing to grant me a meeting today."

Zhang Xuansu said immediately: "His Majesty Zhao is busy with affairs, I am afraid he will not see you."

The Baekje envoy suddenly showed a disappointed look.Zhang Xuansu said: "But last night I relayed all your words to Your Majesty."

The Baekje envoy's hands trembled slightly, and he said hastily, "Thank you so much Mr. Zhang. I don't know what His Majesty said?"

Zhang Xuansu smiled and said: "His Majesty Zhao said that there is no need for Baekje to become a minister."

The Baekje envoy turned pale and said, "His Majesty Emperor Zhao won't even do this."

"You misunderstood. Your Majesty said that the name and the truth must match each other. Goryeo claimed to be a vassal in the Sui Dynasty, but resisted the Sui army. What kind of minister is there. People who seek peace, why make Baekje a vassal, this is self-respect and arrogance."

Zhang Xuansu immediately brought out what Li Chongjiu had said to King Rongliu.

But different from the mood when King Rongliu said it, the Baekje envoy was shocked and said: "His Majesty Emperor Zhao, you are really a saint like Yao and Shun."

Zhang Xuansu nodded in agreement with this statement: "However, Your Majesty agrees. Your Majesty has said that he will not use them as hostages for the princes of Baekje to study in the Imperial Prison of Youjing. He also heard that the Lord of Baekje worships Buddha. Your Majesty allows your country Send visiting monks to Dazhao. It is also possible for Zhao to send monks to bring Buddhist scriptures to Baekje to promote Buddhism."

"Of course, your lord is most concerned about whether my Great Zhao will attack Baekje. Your Majesty said that as long as Baekje does not remain hostile to my Great Zhao, my Great Zhao will not send troops to attack Baekje, and everyone will live in peace. On the one hand. Our country of Zhao has only one enemy in Liaodong, and that is Goguryeo."

The Baekje envoy couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, especially after hearing Zhao Jun's promise that he would not attack Baekje.

The envoy stood up and said, "Your Majesty must convey His Majesty Zhao's goodwill to my lord. I hope that the relationship between Dazhao and Baekje will last forever."

"Of course, our Majesty has always been very sincere about peace." Zhang Xuansu replied with a smile.

The Baekje envoy hadn't left yet, but an unexpected visitor was ushered in Li Chongjiu's residence.

There was a sound of water dripping in front of the eaves, a light rain had just fallen, and there was a faint layer of cloud and mist around the residence hall.

Gently stretching out her slender hands, the snow-colored silk sleeves slid down her elbows, her blue hair curled up, her light lips, and her eyebrows like distant mountains in the rain.
Princess Shengman of Goguryeo cooked tea for Li Chongjiu at the foot of the steps.
