Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 655

Li Jing only wanted to add trouble to Li Shimin, so naturally he would not seriously persuade him to stop and make peace.

He remembered that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Kim Kyung-sun, a Korean scholar, once said: "The security of the world is always tied to Liaoye.

Liaoye is safe, but the wind and dust in the sea will not move.

When the Liaoye is disturbed, the golden drums of the world will sing each other. "

There is also a saying in later generations: "The security of the world depends on the nine sides, and the head of the nine sides is in Liaodong."

Therefore, if the Central Plains dynasty wanted to be stable, the first task was to pacify Liaodong.

If it weren't for this, how could the wise and foolish Emperor Sui Yang be so stupid to conquer Goguryeo three times.

Li Shimin will not sigh after a big victory, and even be thought by the Koreans and trolls of later generations as a defeat.

Li Zhi will not endure the pain to go out again, and vows not to give up if he does not destroy Goguryeo.

All of this is just like a dustpan because the terrain of the Central Plains is high in the west and low in the east.

The North China Plain is the mouth of the dustpan, facing the Bohai Sea, and the other side of the sea is the Liaodong Peninsula.

On land, the Korean Peninsula extends into Liaodong, and directly leads to the Central Plains through the Liaoxi Corridor.

Whether it was the Liao and Jin that rose in the future, or the Manchu Qing after the Ming Dynasty, or even the later Japanese slave invasion of China, they all invaded Liaodong from the Korean Peninsula.

More importantly.

Today's Goguryeo is different from nomads such as Turkic Mongolia. It is an agricultural country like the Central Plains Dynasty.

This makes it even more stable than the barbarians of the Turkic Huns in terms of regime stability.

Now that it occupies an important place in the Northeast, Liyuan Gaisuwen is seeking regional hegemony again.

In the future, it will conquer Baekje in the south, destroy Silla, open up territories, and kill the Quartet.

If you don't kill it when it is weak, Datang will pay ten times and a hundred times the price in time.

Moreover, Goguryeo also secretly communicated with the people of the grasslands. If he hadn't taken the lead in destroying the Turks, Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition would have been flanked by both front and back.

With such a sword of Damocles hanging over Datang's head, how could Li Jing seriously intercede for him.

What's more, Goguryeo took advantage of the decline of the Western Han Dynasty and dared to occupy the four counties of Lelang, Xuantu, Zhenfan, and Lintun.

As a border guard who had sworn to defend the country, how could he watch the country being occupied by outsiders.

But even if he really wanted to, His Majesty Li Er would definitely not allow it.

After all, now that the Central Plains is stable and "the people are well and healthy", regaining the homeland of the Han people and demonstrating martial arts is his greatest pursuit for the rest of his life.

Otherwise, Wen Yanbo, the servant, would not have advised Li Yuan: "In the land of Liaodong, Zhou is the country of Jizi, the ear of Xuanyuan County of the Han family.

Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was not allowed to be a minister if it was close to the title. "

Li Shimin will not declare publicly in the early morning court today: "Today's Dading, only Liaodong is not a guest.

Because of the prosperity of the scholars and horses, the successors lead the conquests by the counselors, and the chaos begins. I take it for myself, and I will not leave the worries of future generations. "

All these things are probably because the rulers of the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties regarded the conquest of Goguryeo as an act of unification to regain their homeland, and the battle they fought was also to unify the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that some people in later generations only know that peace is the most important thing in intrigue, and they don't seek merit but no fault when governing.

Regardless of how many heroes the ancestors of the Han people fought for this land of Liaodong, they have long forgotten that the city of Pyongyang, where the statues of the Koreans are erected, was once the territory of the Han people.

And those so-called peaceful development are just an excuse to survive.

As a frank nationalist, even if Li Jing is in power, he will definitely not become the person he once hated the most.

Naturally, he wouldn't really think about making peace with Quan Boy.

Therefore, he asked for 20 Silla maidservants, just to force Goguryeo to send troops to attack Silla.

Hating the food and grass needed by the [-] troops is also to take the opportunity to weaken Goguryeo's war potential.

As for whether these conditions would be seen through by Yuan Gai Suwen, he never worried at all.

So what if you see it through?

Now that Yuangai Suwen has not yet grasped the power, he certainly cannot influence the decision of the Goguryeo monarch.

What's more, in order to confuse the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers, he asked for more than these two conditions.

"Boss Quan, since you are so sincere, I will not be too polite to you anymore."

Seeing the smile on the boy's face, Li Jing said very solemnly: "I still have one last condition, which is also the most important condition:

Within one month, Goguryeo must be returned to the four counties of Han!

All Goguryeo people immediately withdrew from the four Han counties, and our Tang Dynasty will send people and troops to take over. "

"what?!

This is impossible, absolutely impossible! ! ! "

Quan boy jumped up when he heard the words, shook his head suddenly and said loudly: "His Royal Highness!

The food and salaries of 20 Silla maidservants and [-] troops can be agreed by the subordinates on behalf of the king.

But the so-called four Han counties are the land of my Goguryeo dragon prosperity, and the monarch will definitely not cede him to Datang! "

"Ceded?!

Hehe~”

Li Jing sneered when he heard this, and said with a sullen face and disdain: "My Central Plains Dynasty was attrition due to internal struggles, so you took the opportunity to occupy the four counties of Han.

Otherwise, just relying on the military strength of the Han Dynasty, you are still wearing animal skins and eating weeds in Changbai Mountain at this moment!

What's more, a small country like you with few people dares to call itself the land of Longxing in front of this palace.

Boy Quan, believe it or not, with just one word from you, I can let you go to Goguryeo!

Don't kneel down to Ben Gong yet! ! ! "

"Plop~"

Seeing Li Jing's sudden rage, the Quan boy prostrated uncontrollably and said, "Your Majesty made a mistake for a moment, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make amends!!!"

"Hehe~"

Seeing this, Liu Rong and the others, who swung back and drew their swords, immediately put on a warm smile again.

"Boss Quan, don't blame me for not reminding you.

Thinking about it, you also understand that with the current situation in Goguryeo, surrendering to the Tang Dynasty is the only way out!

Otherwise, after the father raised his troops, blood would flow into rivers and corpses would pile up like mountains in Goguryeo!

If it weren't for this, you wouldn't go around begging for mercy in your capacity, even if you prepared generous gifts, you wouldn't be able to enter.

And this palace only needs the four counties of Han, not the whole territory of Goguryeo, and you don't want the people of Goguryeo.

In this way, it is not all beneficial to the Goguryeo nobles like you. "

Quan boy was full of grief and indignation when he heard the words, raised his head and asked aggrievedly: "May I ask His Royal Highness, what benefits will ceding the four counties of Han do to my Goguryeo?!"

"It's bitterly cold in the north, so there are fewer people and more people are crowded together to keep you warm, isn't it?"

Li Jing joked casually.

Glancing at the grief-stricken boy from Quan, he said seriously just now: "You don't understand economics, so naturally you don't know the benefits of less land and more people.

I just want to tell you one thing:

With less land, there will naturally be fewer soldiers needed, and of course the financial expenditure will be reduced accordingly.

You can use this money to build palaces, buy luxury things from Tang Dynasty, raise more concubines, and have more sons...

You see, Goguryeo has a lot of benefits, right? "

"Is Your Highness really a fool?"

Quan boy burst into tears when he heard the words, and said extremely indignantly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, if I, Goguryeo, cede a large area of ​​land, where will the agricultural tax come from?!"

"Uh……"

Li Jingwen was startled, staring at Boy Quan and smacking his lips regretfully.

This barbarian who looks stupid on the outside doesn't seem to be so easy to fool.

"There is no agricultural tax and commercial tax!

So it doesn't matter, does it? "

Li Jing smiled, and said firmly: "Boss Quan, you have to believe it.

As long as Goguryeo follows Datang, there will be bread and milk!

Except for the four counties of Han, everything will be available. "

God damn everything will be there!

Quan boy can't wait to hack Li Jing to death with a single knife. This is obviously deceiving him as a fool!

But does he really look that stupid?
