Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 443 Silla's Ambition

In Silla, the capital city, in the palace, King Jin Famin of Silla is discussing an important matter with his ministers.

That is how to take back Baekje and Goguryeo, which should belong to them, from the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

Silla has coveted these two regions for hundreds of years, but Silla has never been an opponent of Goguryeo and Baekje, and is often bullied by Baekje and Goguryeo.

Therefore, Silla thought of taking refuge in the Central Plains Dynasty and using the powerful strength of the Central Plains Dynasty to realize their ambition of conquering Baekje and Goguryeo and unifying the peninsula.

First, the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and perished, but Silla still did not give up. When the Tang Dynasty was established, they sent people to the Central Plains Dynasty to proclaim their vassals to the Tang Dynasty, and used the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Goguryeo and Baekje.

Originally, according to their plan, Silla occupied these two places and completed the unification of the peninsula. Who knew that Datang actually took these two regions as its own.

After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and how much manpower and material resources Datang spent to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo, these places should of course belong to Datang.

But in the eyes of the people of Silla, this is not the case. As a big country, how could Datang be so "brazen" and occupy the territory that should belong to them.

For this, Silla, from King Jin Famin to ordinary people, was very dissatisfied with Datang.

This is equivalent to an enterprise that asks people to contribute money and effort to complete the work, but does not want to pay, and wants to take the fruits of the other party's labor as its own, but feels it should be taken for granted.

If the other party doesn't give in, he will feel that the other party is shameless. How can he do such a thing, so that he can't do nothing.

This is the mentality of Silla at this time, so the Silla people were very angry. Many Silla people were encouraged by others and asked King Jin Famin to send troops to take back their territories of Baekje and Goguryeo, so as to show Datang a little color. .

Jin Famin and his ministers ignored the pleas of these people and blatantly sent troops on the spur of the moment. This was simply courting death.

When Goguryeo and Baekje were still there, Silla was often bullied. Since Queen Seondeok Kinderman, Silla has been pressed to the ground by Goguryeo and Baekje, rubbing against each other in various gestures.

Later, after the death of Queen Seondeok, Queen Jinshanman succeeded to the throne, Silla completely surrendered to Datang, and fully promoted the clothing and writing of Datang in Silla.

In the first year of Yonghui, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to clean up Baekje. Queen Zhende immediately sent Jin Famin to Chang'an as a hostage, and personally wrote the five-character "Ode to Peace" and dedicated it to Li Chengqian.

In the past, when Goguryeo and Baekje still existed, Silla was the target of being bullied. If it hadn't been supported by Tang Dynasty, Silla would have been wiped out long ago.

Jin Famin, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Jin Yuxin, Da Ahyun Xiaochuan, Xue Wuru and others in front of him.

"Unification of the peninsula has always been the long-cherished wish of the Silla royal family. The Tang Dynasty occupied Baekje and Goguryeo, which hindered us from completing our great cause of reunification. Now, the people of the country are petitioning to send troops to take back Baekje and Goguryeo, which were occupied by the Tang Dynasty. What do you think about this? What do you think?" Jin Famin asked.

"Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is stationed in Goguryeo and Baekje. We can't fight against the Tang Dynasty. We should outsmart and test the attitude of the Tang Dynasty." Kim Yu-shin, a famous Silla general, said.

Kim Yushin, a member of the Silla royal family, his sister is the queen of the previous Silla king Muyeol Kim Chunchu, the uncle of the current king Munmu King Kim Famin, and the son-in-law of Muyeol Wang Kim Chunqiu.

Jin Famin also felt that what Jin Yuxin said was reasonable, but if he wanted to test it, where should he start to test it.

"Where should we start? How should we arrange it?" Jin Famin asked.

"You can encourage the survivors of Goguryeo to rebel and see how the people of the Tang Dynasty will respond!" Xue Wuru suggested.

As long as the anti-Tang forces in Goguryeo can be encouraged and supported to cause trouble for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably send troops to suppress it. They are making troubles and occupying some places by taking the opportunity to see the attitude of the Tang Dynasty before making further plans.

"Everyone in Goguryeo with a little ability was captured by Tang General Li Ji and returned to Chang'an. Now those who stay in Goguryeo's hometown are just a group of mobs, and they can't make a difference at all."

"We in Silla want to profit from it. I'm afraid it is impossible. In my opinion, it is better to send troops to occupy the former Baekje city bordering Silla and try the attitude of the Woongjin Governor's Office before making further plans." Big Ah Huan Xiaochuan said.

He opposed Xue Wuru's suggestion. Now that Goguryeo can integrate the remnants of the original Goguryeo, the generals who caused troubles to the Tang Dynasty have all been brought to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

It is impossible to rely on this group of leaderless remnants to cause trouble for the Tang army stationed in the original Goguryeo.

On the contrary, there is still a glimmer of hope for eating away the territory of the original Baekje, otherwise, everything is empty talk.

"Xiao Chuan is right. Now we are not at the time of tearing ourselves apart from Tang Chao, so we can only start from Baekje."

"To test the Tang Dynasty, if we occupy the territory of Baekje and the other side does not make much moves, we can continue to erode the territory of Baekje until it is fully controlled." Jin Yuxin said.

Jin Yuxin also advocated taking Baekje first, and then attacking Goguryeo. At that time, Silla may have a chance to challenge the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much! Although the Tang Dynasty is powerful, it is said that there is another powerful country in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty called Tubo."

"According to the information from the envoys we sent to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty basically put all the main forces on the northwest battlefield."

"The situation is extremely difficult for the Tang Dynasty. Right now is a good opportunity for Silla. Once the Tang Dynasty loses in the northwest, it will send troops from the northeast to the northwest."

"At that time, the troops remaining in Goguryeo and Baekje will be insufficient, and Silla will be able to take the opportunity to annex Goguryeo and Baekje."

"The Tang Dynasty, which fought against Tubo in the northwest battlefield, did not care about this place at all. Even if the Tang Dynasty knew about our actions in Silla, they had no choice but to let us occupy Goguryeo and Baekje." Silla General Du Shan said.

Silla sent many envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to study. At the same time, they also scouted information for Silla.

After hearing this, Jin Famin's eyes lit up. It was as if even God was helping him to accomplish his great achievements. How could Jin Famin let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away from him.

"Okay! The widow appointed a good minister as the commander-in-chief, and lead the army to go out to seize the territory of the original Baekje around Silla, try the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, and play by ear." Jin Famin ordered.

"I obey!" Liang Chen saluted.
