Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 371 The Situation of the Peninsula

When the two were dreaming, Li Chengqian guessed their thoughts from their eyes.

"At first, I thought Baekje and Goguryeo's insanity and reckless attack on Silla was a stupid and crazy act."

"To be honest, my only thought at the time was to send troops to Goguryeo immediately and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"But after thinking about it, from the Sui Dynasty to the present, I have fought against Goguryeo many times, and the Central Plains Dynasty has not gained much advantage."

"I was thinking, could this be a trap of Goguryeo? If so, what is it about?" Li Chengqian said.

The two carefully pondered Li Chengqian's words, and felt that there might be some big conspiracy in it. Could it be that Goguryeo wanted to repeat Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo again, so that the Tang Dynasty would end up the same as the Sui Dynasty.

"Then why did Goguryeo do this? If Datang has been watching from the sidelines, it won't be too late to wait for them to lose and then send troops. At that time, what will they use against Datang?" Xue Rengui asked.

"General Xue is right. It may be reasonable to do so. Why is Baekje also associated with Goguryeo?"

"Could it be that Baekje is not afraid of being wiped out?" Li Ji said.

The hostile relationship between Baekje and Goguryeo has existed for a long time. If there is not enough interest, there is no possibility for the two countries to unite, let alone attack Silla.

It is also common for the three countries of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo to jointly attack each other, and none of the three countries can do anything to each other.

Like this uncharacteristically violent attack, he would rather kill the enemy by killing one thousand and destroy eight hundred, but it never happened.

"I have suspected this too. Later, the spies reported that Baekje had defected to Japan and proclaimed itself a vassal to Japan, seeking the support of Japan's military power."

"This may be the reason why Baekje and Goguryeo are crazy. Maybe they think that with the support of Dongying island country, they have a better chance of winning, so they are so confident." Li Chengqian said.

The collusion between Baekje and Dongying is certain, but I didn't expect Baekje to collude with Dongying so soon.

The Dongying people have also been coveting the peninsula for a long time. They have always wanted to reach out to the peninsula but had no chance, but they did not expect this opportunity to come so suddenly.

In order to achieve its own goals, Dongying decided to vigorously support Baekje, and even spared no efforts of the whole country to help Baekje.

"Dongying has sent Tang envoys to our Tang Dynasty to study several times, which can be regarded as a good relationship with my Tang Dynasty. Dongying actually wants to participate in the internal affairs of the peninsula."

"I think that the other party not only wants the interests of the peninsula, but also covets the rich land of my Great Tang Central Plains." Li Ji analyzed.

Dongpu's wolfish ambitions have been clearly revealed, but now they don't have the strength to send troops to Datang, so they want to take down the peninsula as a springboard to prepare for the future invasion of Datang.

The Dongying people feel that they have sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty three times, and they already have a very good understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

As long as the peninsula can be conquered, the Tang Dynasty can be conquered. It is only a matter of time. If Dongying is given 200 years, even if it cannot conquer the Tang Dynasty, it can still conquer half of the Tang Dynasty.

For Dongying, this is something worth doing. As long as they have the fertile land of the Tang Dynasty, Dongying will be stronger.

"We don't know the strength of Dongying. You can imagine how strong Dongying is living overseas."

"I heard that Dongying is poor and backward, and its economy and agriculture are not even as good as Goguryeo. How can it be compared with my Tang Dynasty?"

"If Dongying dares to try to meddle in the land of our Central Plains, it will undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg, and it will be a dead end." Xue Rengui said, he does not believe that Dongying has such courage.

Japan's aggressiveness has existed since ancient times, and it can be said to be engraved in his blood. As long as they feel that there is a chance, they will not hesitate to launch aggressive behaviors against you.

Even if the strength is ten or a hundred times stronger than Japan, as long as they feel that there is a slight chance of defeating you, they will do this seemingly crazy move at all costs.

"The greed of Dongpu is far beyond our imagination. It is not surprising that we can do such a thing."

"However, Baekje is a small country after all, and it is separated by the sea. It is not so easy to travel across the sea to the peninsula. Once they encounter shipwreck, their entire army may be wiped out."

"Even if they can land smoothly, we don't need to be afraid of them. These are not the reasons why Goguryeo stormed Silla." Li Chengqian said.

"Since it's not because of this, I really don't understand why Baekje and Goguryeo made such crazy moves. Once one of them is wiped out, the rest may be close to destruction soon!" Xue Rengui asked.

"Molizhiquan Gai Suwen died suddenly in Goguryeo, and his eldest son, Quan boy, succeeded Mo Lizhi. What a pity! The brothers have always been at odds."

"When Izumi boy went out once, his younger brothers Izumi Nanjian and Izumi Nanchan joined forces and expelled Izumi boy."

"As a result, Quan Nanjian took control of the power of Goguryeo, and succeeded him as the new Mo Lizhi. This time, he stormed Silla, and it was Quan Nanjian's idea."

"He needs to establish his prestige by destroying Silla and prepare for becoming king in the future. Izumi Nanjian not only wants to become a powerful minister, but also wants to become the king of the unified peninsula." Li Chengqian said.

"Quan Nanjian's ability is far behind his father Quan Gai Suwen, even his elder brother Quan Nanjian."

"Quan Gai Su Wen didn't complete the things. How can Quan Nanjian accomplish them? He has ambitions in vain, but he doesn't have the strength to match them. In the end, he only has a dead end."

"Goguryeo will be destroyed sooner or later. What happened to the boy from Quan? Doesn't he have the idea of ​​regaining his rights?" Xue Rengui said.

He really wanted to know what Quan boy was doing now, if he fled, it would be best to control him in Datang's hands.

In this way, when attacking Goguryeo in the future, they can use the name of Quan Boys to solve many problems.

"After Quan boy was expelled, he led his Khitan and Mohe troops to Baobie City, and sent Ziquan to write a letter of sincerity, willing to belong to Datang. This is the document of Quan boy's attachment to Datang." Li Chengqian said, He took out Boy Quan's paperwork from his sleeve and showed it to Xue Rengui and Li Ji.

After the two had seen it, Li Ji asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with this boy from Quan?"

"I have decided to confer on Quan Nannan as the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March, to appease the Liaodong ambassador, to hold the festival, and to appease the people of Liaodong and the Khitan and other clans for me." Li Chengqian said.

"I thought His Majesty could call him into the capital! Give him a greater honor to win over the boy from Quan, so that he will be more devoted to Datang and His Majesty," Li Ji said.

"We can also pass on the matter of his attachment to Datang to Quan Nanjian and Quan Nanchan. In this way, Quan Nan will never have a chance to turn back." Xue Rengui said.

"Okay! Just do as the two lovers said!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian immediately sent someone to Liaodong, recruited Quan Nannan into the court, and awarded him the governor of Liaodong and the Duke of Xuantu County.
