Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 367
"Invite Your Majesty! Silla sent envoys to see you!" The morning court just started, and the Dianke Department of Honglu Temple came out to salute.

"An envoy from Silla? What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked, if it's a trivial matter, it's better not to bother him, he is very busy.

Now Datang is doing disaster relief everywhere, or on the way of disaster relief everywhere, how can there be any spare time to take care of a small remote country.

"They are here to ask for help from Datang, and hope that Datang can help them." Dian Keling said.

Li Chengqian's first reaction after hearing this was that both Silla and Datang were in disaster, so Silla sent envoys to ask Datang to help Silla.

After all, Silla is Datang's younger brother Ma Zai, so he can't just leave him dead.

"Then announce them to the palace!" Li Chengqian said.

Although Datang is somewhat difficult now, it is still very rich compared to the small country of Silla, and if something leaks through the fingers, Silla will be able to eat for a long time.

"Message from the envoy of Xuan Xinluo!"

"Message from the envoy of Xuan Xinluo!"

"Message from the envoy of Xuan Xinluo!" In the ancient era when calls were made by shouting, the emperor's orders could only be conveyed one after another.

How nice would it be to have a phone?It would be easier to make a phone call directly, Li Chengqian thought to himself, but he could only think in his heart, it was impossible to make a phone call in the Tang Dynasty.

"The envoy of Silla has an audience with His Majesty!" Not long after, the voice of the Jiezhe came from outside the hall, and the envoy from Silla walked into the Taiji Hall in full suit.

"The envoys of Silla paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang! Long live!" The envoys of Silla bowed to the ground.

"Be flat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" The Silla envoy got up to thank him and said, "We brought our special products from Silla to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to present to His Majesty the Emperor."

Although they came to ask for help, they should still prepare a lot of tributes, this is the rule.

"You have traveled all the way to Tang Dynasty. I heard that you are here to ask for help. What happened to Silla?" Li Chengqian asked, he didn't care about any local products.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Baekje and Goguryeo jointly sent troops to attack Silla, and Silla lost a large area of ​​territory one after another."

"The minister was ordered by King Jin Chunqiu of Silla to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty to jointly fight against the coalition forces of Baekje and Goguryeo."

"Your Majesty, please! If you can send troops to save Silla, the whole Silla is looking forward to the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty to save them." The Silla envoy said.

"I remember that your queen passed away last year, and it was only this golden spring and autumn that she ascended the throne. It has only been a long time, but she was bullied like this, and she needed to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"Don't hide it from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! My former king of Silla has passed away, and the new king will soon succeed to the throne. It is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate."

"Baekje and Goguryeo jointly sent troops to attack our Silla territory while we were still silent in the death of the former king, causing Silla to lose its territory one after another."

"Now Silla is in danger! If His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not send troops to rescue Silla, Silla may perish." The Silla envoy said.

To be honest, Li Chengqian really didn't want to send troops to aid Silla, and let Silla be wiped out by the coalition forces of Baekje and Goguryeo.

But after thinking about it, it was ill-advised to do so. If the Tang Dynasty did not send troops to rescue Silla, Silla would be destroyed, Baekje and Goguryeo would grow stronger, and it would be a trivial matter.

The growth of Baekje and Goguryeo is also limited. With the strength of Datang, at most they will send more soldiers and horses, and it will take more effort. It is not difficult to win Baekje and Goguryeo.

The most important thing is the prestige of Datang. If you really want to do this, not only the subjects of Datang will complain, but other tribes who surrender to Datang will also be wary of Datang.

If they recruit soldiers and horses from them in the future, they will have reservations and will no longer serve Datang wholeheartedly, which will be detrimental to the expansion of Datang in the future.

"Since Silla is in danger now! Datang, as the suzerain of Silla, has no reason to send troops to rescue. You can go back and tell Jin Chunqiu that we will definitely send reinforcements to rescue Silla." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know when the Heavenly Soldiers will arrive. I'm afraid it won't take long for Silla." The Silla envoy asked.

"If you are quick, the reinforcements will launch an attack on the Baekje and Goguryeo coalition forces before you go back. If you are slow, they will be a day or two later than you." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Tang! So, I will take my leave now, and return to Silla immediately to report the good news to the King of Silla." The Silla envoy said happily after hearing this.

"Go!" Li Chengqian waved his hand, and the Silla envoy saluted and exited the hall.

On that day, the Silla envoys didn't even have time to pack up their salutes, so they hurriedly bought some dry food and hurried back to Silla.

"My dear friends have also seen that now that Silla is asking for help, my Tang Dynasty will naturally send troops to rescue, but I don't know how to send someone to lead the army?" Li Chengqian asked after the Silla envoy left.

"Your Majesty! You only need to send frontier soldiers to the rescue! There is no need to mobilize the troops." Chu Suiliang said.

To rescue a small country in Silla, you only need to issue orders to the defenders on the border to harass Goguryeo and Baekje immediately. Silla will relieve the pressure and be able to hold its inherent territory. Is it impossible to destroy Goguryeo?

If Chu Suiliang knew that Li Chengqian really had this idea, he would try his best to dissuade Li Chengqian, and even quote the allusion of Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo and the subjugation of the country to persuade Li Chengqian to give up this idea.

"Decree! Appoint Zuowei General Cheng Mingzhen as the governor of Yingzhou, and join Su Dingfang to send troops to rescue Silla." Li Chengqian said.

It is already a certainty that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje. It will not be long before the war will break out.

For Li Chengqian, the biggest problem is not how to eliminate Goguryeo and Baekje.

The biggest problem is how to ensure Datang's vested interests in the peninsula after the elimination of Baekje and Goguryeo, and not allow Silla to grow bigger and make the peninsula a fruit of Silla's battle.

If Silla wants to completely control the peninsula, the unification of the three countries is absolutely not allowed. The territory of Baekje and Goguryeo can only be the territory of Datang.

The territory captured by Silla can be given to Silla. However, Silla wants to drive the Tang army out of the peninsula. It is absolutely not allowed to monopolize its own interests. This is also a problem that Li Chengqian has to consider.

Not only that, the Tang army aggressively attacked the peninsula, and Tubo also took advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack and destroy Tuyuhun when the Tang army could not take care of Tuyuhun.

These are enough headaches for Li Chengqian, he must solve these two problems.

"Let's retreat!" Li Chengqian got up and left after saying that.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
