Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 420

The news of the victory in the Battle of Baijiangkou reached the palace, and Li Chengqian was overjoyed, so he wanted to announce such a great event during the court meeting.

"I just received a letter from Liu Rengui. This time our army fought against the Japanese navy at the mouth of the Baijiang River. We won four consecutive battles and burned [-] Japanese warships. The sky was filled with smoke and the sea was red. Baekje was pacified, and the king Fuyu supported by Baekje fled to Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said.

In the battle of Baijiangkou, Baekje princes Fuyuzhong, Fuyu Shengzhong and others saw that the Japanese kingdom was defeated, so they led the remaining remnants to surrender.

King Buyeo Bong of Baekje fled to Goguryeo by boat, and Buyeo Saji, the son of Buyeo Boksin, fled to Wa Kingdom with the remnants of Wa Kingdom.

King Cheonji of the Kingdom of Wa granted Buyeo Saji an official position under Sogeum and gave him the surname Onis, so it was also called Onissaji, and Buyeo Boksin was also called Onisus.

"This is really great! In this way, my Tang Dynasty will destroy Goguryeo just around the corner. God bless my Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said overjoyed.

"God bless the Tang Dynasty!" the ministers shouted.

"This Baekje rebellion, the Wa Kingdom has been involved. Tell me, how should we deal with the Wa Kingdom's problem." Li Chengqian asked, his idea was to send troops to take the opportunity to destroy the Wa Kingdom.

Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!

Let alone the ocean, even if it is across the Milky Way, troops must be sent to wipe out the Wa Kingdom, and let him know the majesty of the Heavenly Kingdom, which cannot be desecrated.

But the current situation does not allow him to do this. Goguryeo has not been cut out yet, which is a hidden danger in the Liaodong region.

Mobei is now more chaotic than before. This is a masterpiece of Tubo, and even most of the Western Turks have defected to Tubo and become a force against the Tang army.

Tubo launched an attack on Tuyuhun repeatedly, and Tuyuhun didn't know how long it could last.

The current Datang is either in conquest or on the way to conquest.

"The old minister thinks that the Japanese country lives overseas, and we don't understand the situation at sea. The sea is no better than the land. Once in danger, there is no place to die."

"Therefore, the veteran thought that it is better to give up on the matter of the Wa Kingdom. After the battle at Baijiangkou, the Wa Kingdom saw the strength of our army and would not dare to commit another crime." Changsun Wuji said.

"I think what the Taiwei said is very true! But you can't let it go. It's better to send an envoy to the Wa country to ask the Wa country for an explanation, let the Wa country compensate our army's losses, and let the Wa country prepare food and financial compensation for us." Minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Jiulang said.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War is right! Baekje is the territory of our Tang Dynasty. How dare the Wa Kingdom send troops to support Fuyufeng's restoration and become an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. What is his intention?"

"Wen Lin Lang Yuanzhen sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom to question why the Wa Kingdom helped the rebels and became an enemy of our Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

During the period of Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty, Wen Linlang from the ninth rank should have been sent to Japan as an envoy. For a small country like Japan, it would be considered reasonable to send Wen Linlang casually.

"Baekje has been pacified, and it's time to go on an expedition to Goguryeo. This time, Goguryeo must be completely wiped out, so that the border of Tang and Liaodong can be peaceful." Li Chengqian said.

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of War came out and said: "Your Majesty! Now that the Tang Dynasty has just pacified Baekje, it is better to rest and recuperate for a few years before attacking Goguryeo."

"Soldiers are expensive! Before Goguryeo has put its mind on Baekje, it is time to send troops to attack Goguryeo."

"Once Goguryeo reacts and unites with the anti-Tang forces, Baekje may be captured by Goguryeo, let alone crusade against Goguryeo."

"Therefore, it is imperative to crusade against Goguryeo. Before Goguryeo fully reacts, attack from both sides and conquer Goguryeo in one fell swoop." Li Chengqian said.

It is imperative to destroy Goguryeo. Only by destroying Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty can some troops be mobilized to deal with Tubo and suppress the rebellion in Mobei.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is the right time to eliminate Goguryeo, and Datang has the right time, place and people.

Goguryeo will not be destroyed at this time, when will it be?

"Your Majesty, the Western Turks are causing disasters to Mobei, and I think that the first priority should be to put down the Western Turks' rebellion first," said the Minister of War.

"Last year, I already ordered Qi Li to go to Mobei to appease the Nine Clans of Tie Le, why Qi Li went to Mo Bei, and quickly pacified the Nine Clans of Tie Le."

"Mobei was already pacified, but later there was a rebellion in Kucha, so I asked Su Haizheng, the head of the Haidao March, to send troops to fight against it."

"Why, not only did Mobei not be pacified, but the Western Turks also took refuge in Tubo? What's going on?" Li Chengqian said.

"This matter all started because of Ashina Buzhen, the successor Khan and the right guard general, and the governor of Mengchi. He had a grudge against Ashinamishe, the Khan of Xingxi and the governor of Kunling."

"So he secretly lied that Ashinamishe was treasonous, and asked Su Haizheng to kill Ashinamishe. Su Haizheng believed it, so he pretended that His Majesty entrusted him to give tens of thousands of brocade silks to Khan and the chiefs."

"Xingxi's deceased Khan Ashinami shot didn't know there was any fraud, so he went to accept the reward. Su Haizheng took the opportunity to kill them all."

"However, Shu Nishi and Ba Saigan were also allowed to escape. Su Haizheng and his successor Jue Khan later put them down together. On the way back leading the army, they were killed by the Tubo army led by the Gongyue tribe in the south of Shule." Minister of the Ministry of War said.

On the surface, it was said that it was an internal struggle within the Turks, but in fact it was Tubo's instigation and dissension that led to the intensification of the conflict between Ashina Mishe and Ashina Buzhen.

Its purpose is to disrupt Datang's deployment in Tuyuhun, so that they have a chance to annex Tuyuhun.

Unfortunately!Li Chengqian was not fooled, and withdrew the Tang army in Tuyuhun from Tuyuhun.

Tubo saw that their plan had no effect on Datang, so they made another plan and encouraged Western Turks to attack Tingzhou in Tang Dynasty. The governor of Tingzhou Laiji died in Tingzhou and died for the country.

"Su Haizheng met the Tubo army in the south of Shule. It was nothing more than a cowardly battle. He dared to bribe Tubo with military funds. It really disgraced my Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"Hasn't Your Majesty dealt with Su Haizheng already? Now that the old matter is brought up again, what is the reason for it?" Changsun Wuji said.

For this matter, Li Chengqian almost killed Su Haizheng with his own hands. If everyone hadn't pleaded for mercy, Su Haizheng would have died long ago without a place to bury him!
At the request of everyone, Li Chengqian changed the sentence to exile Su Haizheng and his family to Qianzhou.

"Bringing this matter up again today, I just want to tell you that Tubo is the confidant of my Tang Dynasty. If Tubo is not eliminated, there will never be peace in Mobei."

"The reason why I am so eager to send troops to attack Goguryeo is to solve the hidden dangers in Liaodong as soon as possible, so that I can dispatch troops to deal with Tubo."

"Only by solving the problem of Tubo, can the rebellion in Mobei be completely eradicated. Therefore, it is urgent to crusade against Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said.

Looking at the decisive emperor, although the ministers wanted to dissuade him, they knew that there was nothing they could do.
