Chapter fifty-six each play tricks
The commander of the Yamato Kingdom's three armies in Nishihara Kyo was Suwo Kuramaro. He supported Yoshigai Suwen to kill the regency and represented his brother Suwo Hokkien to promote the unity of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla.
Su-I Kuramaro is not in a hurry in the current situation. She was content with tea in the palace residence of Nishihara Kyo and played Go with her confidant Hu people.
Go was a game introduced to them by North Korea during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This game that tests IQ suddenly became popular in the upper class of Yamato and became the basic social and pretentious person in Yamato. Those who can't play Go are just local buns who will be despised by the upper class.
The Suwo family and the Jushi family were both powerful aristocratic families in the Asuka era in Yamato Kingdom, and they had been in alliance with each other for decades. Especially the Suwo Kuramaro and the Jushi Hu people were of the same age and grew up together as close as brothers.
Suwo Kuramaro's style of chess is unrestrained, unrestrained, open and close, and has a strong aggressiveness. The Hu people are relatively calm, and they come to block the water and soil, but they can keenly grasp the opponent's weakness at critical moments and take the initiative to attack. The two have been together for many years, and in Go, they can be said to meet opponents, and they will meet good talents, and they will fight to the death.
Their plates are full of chess pieces, but the difference between them is between one or two words.
The giant Hu people held a black piece in hand and landed steadily on the chessboard, chuckling: "Tang general Luo Shixin doesn't seem to have the intention to attack Pyongyang."
Suwo Kuramaru, with a beard on his face, his shrewd eyes fell on the chessboard, and responded: "Luo Shixin is famous and is really not easy to deal with. He is not quick to make moves, but his moves are powerful, which fooled Goguryeo. This frontal fight cannot be defeated. Conspiracy and tricks are not as good as him. It is a powerful enemy that makes people feel troublesome. Even we would not have thought that the arrogant Haidong Qianghao would simply let the Tang army deal with it." He paused. He asked: "What do you think the Tang army should go next?"
The Hu people of the giant power said without hesitation: "It goes without saying that it is nothing more than two choices to attack Pyongyang. They divided their troops and joined forces with Silla to drive us out of Haidong and then destroyed Baekje. Judging from the current situation, Luo Shixin should choose the latter. The reason why I remained silent now is to wait for Silla's request for help, just like us."
When Suwo Kuramaru heard the last sentence, he smiled knowingly. Their alliance with Goguryeo is a lesson for heaven and earth, but Goguryeo is no longer qualified to be ally with them. This ownership of interests inevitably changes.
"The Inner Minister, Goguryeo envoy came to ask for a visit!"
When the two of them were discussing, they received news of Yuan Pure Land's request for a visit.
Su I, Kuramaro, looked at his friend and said, "We're finally here. Should we decide the winner or lose?"
"It's better to meet!" The Hu Ren smiled faintly: "Yuan Pure Land is Yuan Gasuwen's younger brother and has a certain status. We don't need to anger Yuan Gasuwen at this time, so as not to cause trouble. He is forced to go desperate and directly surrender Luo Shixin."
Suwo Kuramaro asked someone to remove the chessboard and ordered someone to invite Ancestral Pure Land into the main hall.
"Goguryeo Yuan Pure Land, I have met the ministers!" Yuan Pure Land bowed to the end with the highest etiquette. Politics is so cruel. As a younger brother of a powerful minister, Yuan Pure Land was originally at the same level as Suwo Kuramaru, but now Yuan Pure Land has to show goodwill to Suwo Kuramaru with the most solemn etiquette.
Su-Marakami Ryu smiled and received a gift. He helped Yuan Jingtu up and said, "Doctors and messengers don't have to be too polite. You and my brothers are in ally, don't say these polite words." As he said that, he frowned and pulled Yuan Jingtu to ask about the situation of Goguryeo. He said with a frown: "I didn't expect Luo Shixin to be so powerful, nor did I expect Kim Yu-shin to be so difficult to deal with. His Hualang Dao caused great casualties to us. I could only be forced to rest here."
In later generations, Hualangdao refers to ancient Korean martial arts, but in this era, Hualangdao was an elite soldier. A Silla elite unit founded by Kim Yu-shin, the first general of Silla.
Yuan Jingtu also sighed: "The plan is far from the change, and my brother also felt that our dreams were too beautiful at the beginning. Today, it was so defeated. The Tang Dynasty and Silla were far more powerful than we imagined. He now regretted it very much. He should not be so hasty in his enemies with the Tang Dynasty, nor should he be greedy for Silla Mingzhou and put Goguryeo in a state of no return. My brother has decided to give up Mingzhou. Whether it is Baekje or Yamato, whoever seizes Mingzhou will own it for whom. Now Goguryeo is in a state of life and death. Whoever can save me Goguryeo and water and fire, Goguryeo will definitely regard him as a hero and cut off the land in the upper reaches of the Han River Basin."
Su-I Kuramaro, the giant Hu people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Unexpectedly, at this time, Goguryeo was willing to give up the hero and cut off his arm and sever the Han River Basin.
You should know that the three countries of Haidong are remote and poor, and the only fertile soil is the Han River Basin. For the ownership of the Han River Basin, Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla have fought each other for hundreds of years. Now, it is really a great decision to ced the Han River Basin.
Yuan Putu continued: "If this situation continues so badly, I, Goguryeo, may not be able to support you anymore. For the sake of my Goguryeo people, my brother can only let you down." He bowed in shame.
Su I, Kuramaru, and the Hu people of Jushi are all smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of Yuan Pure Land.
Goguryeo did make Luo Shixin disabled. This incident of putting in trouble was understandable at such a critical moment. Goguryeo also made concessions. But if they were more aggressive, don’t blame them for being anxious and surrendering to Luo Shixin.
As long as the Tang Dynasty was immortal, Goguryeo would not be able to gain a foothold in Goguryeo. Once Goguryeo was destroyed, even if they destroyed Silla, they would not sleep well if they seized all the land of Silla. Even if Goguryeo was no longer qualified to seek the world with them, they could not let him perish.
Su I, Kuramaru, said without hesitation: "The doctor's messenger's words are too exaggerated. We are allies to each other, and in the words of the Han people, we will never sit idly by and tell your brother. From tomorrow on, I, Kuramaru, will attack Silla regardless of casualties. If the Tang Dynasty divides troops to rescue it, it will reduce the pressure for you. If the Tang Dynasty does not come, I will definitely go north with the Baekje army and compete with Luo Shixin."
Yuan Jingtu bowed again and said movedly: "I am so grateful!"
Watching Yuan Pure Land leave, Suwo Kuramaru sighed: "It seems that our most perfect plan is that it cannot be realized."
The Hu people laughed and said, "It's okay, let the Tang army destroy Goguryeo. We are cutting off the retreat, thus annihilation of the Tang army, taking over Goguryeo, and supporting the puppets. This move is indeed a few birds with one stone, but it's too natural. Too big an appetite may not be a good thing. It's still difficult to swallow Silla and Goguryeo. Swallow Silla first and gain a foothold in this Haidong. Goguryeo's own strength is not enough to defend its country. As long as we provoke it, Goguryeo will fall into internal and external troubles, and will still be owned by our army. I have always felt that it's better to eat than to force it to eat, and the effect is better."
Su I, Kuramaru, didn't argue with him meaninglessly at this moment, just glanced at the southwest direction and said, "Now it depends on whether my brother can convince Zhang Zhongjian from the Seventy-Two Islands... It's not that I destroyed my might, I don't think we can really stand up for the Tang army. Luo Shixin's attack was too terrible. If it weren't for grasping his weakness, I really didn't want to face an opponent like him."
The Hu people of the giant power nodded with fear and said, "This person has a straightforward personality and has great prejudice against my country at sunrise. Our country is now in the Jedi, which is because I and the scholar named Wei Zheng. If this were not the case, we would not have come to our country's fate and took a risky battle at this time. This person must not be kept..."
Suwo Kuramaro also had murderous intent in his eyes, nodded in agreement, and paused, "We don't care about so much at the moment, we can only trust our brother's methods. You can send orders and advance to Mingzhou immediately. Just inform Baekje and let him assist us in the attack."
With the order of Suwo Kuramaro, the 60,000 troops of Yamato's attack on Silla this time rushed to Mingzhou. Baekje, as a vassal of Yamato, also dispatched 30,000 troops to command Yamato at this time.
Ninety thousand soldiers rushed forward, and the stalemate was immediately broken.
As the number one general in Silla, Kim Yu-shin's power and talent are comparable to Suwo Kuramaru. The Hu people are even more powerful than that. However, it is hard to cook without rice. The absolute advantage of military strength will be difficult to recover with tactics for a while. Unless the enemy's intelligence is negative, it is possible to ignore the advantage of military strength. In this battle of Yamato, their commander is naturally the hero of Yamato.
Suwo Kuramaru, the giant Hu people used their advantages in military strength to blossom on both sides, making Kim Yu-sun unable to put out the fires on both sides and could only retreat step by step, and the situation was in danger.
Under the city of Pyongyang.
In Yamato, Baekje's abnormal movements and Silla's crisis, all kinds of news spread to Luo Shixin like snowflakes.
The lack of Silla, Baekje news is the biggest problem Luo Shixin faces when he comes to Pyongyang City. Once he notices this situation, he immediately arranged for Zuo Tiancheng, Li Yuncong and others to expand their intelligence network in Goguryeo to Silla Baekje to make up for their own shortcomings.
In such a short time, the intelligence network is not enough to find out any emergency secrets, but it is still impossible for such a big move in war to hide it from intelligence personnel.
Luo Shixin looked at the information in his hand and asked Liu Rengui: "You said, how long can Silla and the others support..."
"I guess I'm already on the way to ask for help!" Liu Rengui: "In order not to owe favors, not to ask for help for our own interests, he will destroy himself. Silla will not be foolish since then, and they will not not ask for help from us..." Before he could finish his words, Luo Shixin received the news that the Silla envoy asked for help.
