"good!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sila has always regarded my Tang Dynasty as the lord country since I ascended the throne, and has been tributed for many years. He was granted the title of Pillars, Duke of Lelang County, and King Silla. This time, our army immediately raised 30,000 troops to help, which directly led to the loss of people and land by King Fuyu Yici, Baekje. By reason, the emperor should avenge Silla. However, once Baekje is destroyed, our dynasty and Silla will never be as friendly as they are now."

Li Yuanai has to admire Li Shimin's foresight.

This Goguryeo has not yet perished and has seen the future.

This also shows the gap between Li Zhi and Li Shimin.

The future Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was indeed very outstanding, but he was still inferior to his father Li Shimin.

Historically, Li Zhi had some problems with Haidong.

At that time, Goguryeo had already crippled Li Shimin. Li Zhi did not want to be distracted by Haidong, so he focused on the west side and destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje in one fell swoop.

This led to the situation where the Silla family lived in Haidong.

Then the Tang Dynasty lost the opportunity to swallow Baekje and Goguryeo.

Silla has no enemies in Haidong, how could he sit and watch the Tang Dynasty assimilate Goguryeo and Baekje safely?

Did the Tang Dynasty really assimilate Goguryeo and Baekje? What did he think in his heart?

There is a huge creature under the bed, so how can I not be afraid?

Therefore, for himself, Silla secretly supported Baekje's old subordinates and Goguryeo's old subordinates. Finally, they joined forces and supported the former Goguryeo in Haidong and the anti-Tang forces in Baekje to attack the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Tubo in the West had already risen, and the Tang Dynasty was therefore trapped in a situation of war between the East and the West.

Although Silla did not take much advantage, it did cause considerable trouble to Li Zhi.

If Li Zhi had left Baekje at that time, then Silla and Baekje were hostile to each other, and the Tang Dynasty spent ten years to govern Goguryeo, there might be another ending?

Isn’t the essence of Confucianism brainwashing?

No one can tell the future.

But it is obvious that the destruction of Baekje at this moment, leaving only Silla in Haidong, which will be of no benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanai nodded and said, "There are no eternal allies between countries, only eternal interests. Only friendship produced by win-win interests can last forever. Instead of giving in the effort, Silla has a strong enemy in the north, and Baekje in the west, eyeing them. So obedient to our Tang Dynasty, we also have the desire to seek protection. We each take what we need, so that we can have today's friendly situation. Once only Silla remains in the three kingdoms of the sea and the east, our Tang Dynasty has become the imaginary enemy of Silla."

"What a ally without eternal ally, only eternal interests." Li Shimin pleaded: "With this sentence, I will feel relieved to give you this task. In short, it is just a sentence. Silla rewards that should be rewarded and punished. The only thing we eat into our mouths is impossible to spit it out. Give more in other places, it doesn't matter. As long as we are harmonious with each other, we can make everything back for peace in the northeast for more than ten or twenty years."

He looked at Li Yuanai with a solemn look on his face.

Li Yuanai knew in his heart that he was greedy for Sichuan, and that if he had taken Goguryeo, there was no reason to let Silla and Baekje go.

However, this is a long time later. If Goguryeo is completely assimilated, it will be inconvenient to attack Silla and Baekje.

Moreover, if he did not take the initiative to provoke trouble for the Tang Dynasty, if he had no intention of provoking trouble in Silla, it would be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to provoke war for the sake of interests.

This is also a unique diplomatic convenience for small countries.

Small countries can carry out rogue diplomacy by going back on their word, but big countries cannot.

Especially in the current Tang Dynasty, all nations came to congratulate, and all vassal states were spread all over East Asia.

If you really go back on your word for your own benefit and destroy your own vassal state, it will inevitably cause a crisis in the surrounding vassal states, which will be detrimental to the development of the dynasty itself.

Li Shimin said that "give more" obviously planned to give more soup to Silla to let him eat a little more so that the Tang Dynasty could absorb Goguryeo smoothly.

On that day, Li Yuanai moved to a wealthy family in Pingcheng County, north of Pyongyang.

However, in just a short time, Pingcheng County has become a small fortress.

The reputation of the Chinese as an infrastructure maniac was extremely applicable in ancient times.

Most of the people in the county town had fled, but the rest were just old men, women and children. The Tang army did not make things difficult for them and placed them in the east of the city.

This is indeed much more comfortable living in a house than in the wild.

Because of the seized Goguryeo supplies, the food became richer.

Li Yuanai’s current breakfast is a bowl of milk, two big cakes, a portion of dried fish and pickled vegetables.

Two days later, King Fuyu Yici, Baekje, arrived in Pingcheng County first.

Li Yuanai asked, "What is Fuyu Yici's current situation?"

The message soldier said, "Some humble, bowing."

Li Yuanai said bluntly: "Then let him wait."

humble?

What is this attitude?

In front of the Tang Dynasty, how dare the king of that country be humble?

Li Yuan Ai didn't let Fuyu Yici enter the city, but just made people prepare to show off to welcome Liangzhou military leader Kim Yu-shin.

About half an hour, Kim Yu-shin also arrived to pay homage.

Li Yuanai sent someone to warmly invite him into the county town.

Kim Yu-shin is the fourth person in Silla and has a good status.

However, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanai had the same status as that of the Queen of Silla. He did not have to personally greet him, but directly arranged for someone to invite him into the county town.

Li Yuanai greeted the mansion, giving the famous Silla general enough face.

"Foreign minister Kim Yu-shin, I, pay homage to the King of Shang. The emperor is here, and I, the Queen of Silla, dare not meet the saint in a hurry. I pray to Jincheng for blessings and sacrifice to the queen of heaven before I dare to come to meet the saint."

Kim Yu-shin's words were filled with admiration and admiration for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanai knew that all this was pretending, and only by admiring enough to show his sect leader can we get more benefits.

But his heart was still full of pride. If the Tang Dynasty had not had enough capital, the Queen of Silla would not even be able to wear it.

"Your Majesty talked to Gu many times about King Silla, saying that the country is dependent on the world, but Silla is the best at sharing weal and woe with the Tang Dynasty. You must know that it is easy to share wealth and honor, but it is difficult to share weal and woe with us."

Lee Won-ah is talking about the difference between King Silla and Kim Yu-shin’s Queen Silla, and the meaning is completely different.

King Silla was enthroned by Li Shimin. Queen Silla Jin Deman was the Zhuguo, Duke of Lelang County, and King Silla in the Tang Dynasty.

Kim Yu-shin quickly knelt down and said, "I am extremely honored to be praised by His Majesty the Celestial Empire."

Li Yuanai helped him up and ordered someone to bring him wine and food.

"This time we are on the expedition, the army leader should not blame the coldness."

Kim Yu-shin hurriedly said, "I dare not."

Li Yuan Ai and Kim Yuxinlian drank three glasses of wine and said casually: "Military Master, did you meet Baekje King Fuyu Yici outside the city?"

"Of course!" Kim Yu-shin said with grip on his teeth: "The old thief invaded my territory and killed my people. How could foreign ministers not recognize me? I just wish I could kill him with my own hands."
