    Chapter 109: Send troops to Baekje

    Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the head of the hundred officials. His words carried great weight in the court.

    Therefore, as soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

    Changsun Wuji decided to add fuel to the fire to Li Zhen, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Li Zhen should be dismissed from his post and investigated, and he should be allowed to leave Youzhou and return to Beijing to plead guilty."

    "Please give your order, Your Majesty."

    Zhang Gao, Chu Suiliang and others said one after another.

    Li Shimin took a look and realized that these were all his important ministers. What Li Zhen did this time was a bit excessive and made Datang lose face. It would be better to punish them.

    Thinking of this, Li Shimin said: "In that case, then"

    "Report! Urgent report from Liaodong!" A eunuch shouted outside the palace.

    "Oh? What happened to Liaodong?"

    Li Shimin glanced at Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao quickly took the report and opened it. Eunuch Gao was about to raise his voice a tune and said: "Your Majesty, King Li Zhen of Yue has led an army of 30,000 to the border of Baekje. The King of Yue has arrived at the border of Baekje."  He said that he would destroy Baekje within two months and unify the three Koreas!"

    "What?"

    Everyone was stunned, Li Zhen actually wanted to destroy Baekje?

    This bullshit is a bit exaggerated!

    You must know that the coalition forces of Baekje and the Japanese and Quannansan have more than 200,000 troops, but the total number of troops in Li Zhen's hands is only 50,000, and the available troops are only 30,000.

    How is it possible for 30,000 people to defeat Baekje¡¯s 200,000 coalition forces?

    Fang Xuanling on the side frowned and said, "This is strange. Why didn't the King of Yue send troops when Silla was attacked, but when Silla was destroyed, he sent troops instead?"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away and were very puzzled by Li Zhen?s behavior.

    In the end, it was Fang Xuanling who revealed the secret.

    "I understand! His Highness the King of Yue wants to incorporate all the land of the Three Koreas into the territory of the Tang Dynasty! If so, His Highness the King of Yue will make an unparalleled contribution and allow the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the eastern border troubles forever!"

    When everyone heard Fang Xuanling's words, they suddenly realized that after all, he was the prime minister, and he thought clearly.

    Changsun Wuji's face darkened and he said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen's move will damage the reputation of our Tang Dynasty. If it fails, wouldn't Silla's sacrifice be in vain? Besides, Li Zhen only has 30,000 actionable troops.  , how could he succeed?"

    "I believe that Li Zhen will definitely be defeated. If this happens, the majesty of our Tang Dynasty in the northeastern border will be completely lost. Please ask the emperor to issue an order to stop Li Zhen and remove Li Zhen. Otherwise, the reputation of our Tang Dynasty will be greatly damaged!"

    But at this time, the atmosphere in the hall became strange. Fang Xuanling was thoughtful and all the ministers were silent.

    Obviously, everyone has understood that if Li Zhen succeeds, the entire Korean Peninsula will be given to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This will definitely be of huge benefit to the Tang Dynasty. However, if Li Zhen fails, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will also be lost.  Will be harmed, and no one wants to get involved too much and cause trouble for themselves.

    When Changsun Wuji saw this situation, he immediately understood. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 200,000 coalition troops in Baekje, and Li Zhen only has 30,000 available troops. Li Zhen cannot succeed. Please order the emperor to remove Li Zhen."  !¡±

    Li Shimin stroked his long beard under his chin. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent. He thought that if Li Zhen succeeded, the territory of the Tang Dynasty would definitely increase, and the thousand-year border troubles in eastern China would be eliminated in one fell swoop, and the Tang Dynasty would never be again.  There is no need to worry about the eastern border, which is of great benefit to Datang.

    So Li Shimin said calmly: "I think the King of Yue's method can be tried."

    ¡°What do you dear ladies think?¡±

    Fang Xuanling did not want to offend Changsun Wuji, nor did she want Datang to miss this opportunity, so she immediately said: "It all depends on the emperor."

    "It all depends on the emperor!" All the ministers said in unison.

    Li Shimin nodded and said loudly: "If Li Zhen can really break through Baekje, he will eliminate our Tang Dynasty's northeastern border troubles forever. I think the risk is worth it, but the King of Yue does not have enough troops, so he should be assisted. Immediately order Liu Rengui, the governor of Qingzhou  He led an army of 20,000 people into the homeland of Goguryeo to support the King of Yue in his attack on Baekje."

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone saluted in unison.

    Changsun Wuji sighed, since Li Shimin had made a decision, there was nothing he could do.

    Changsun Wuji knew that Li Zhen had made great achievements by conquering Goguryeo. If he was allowed to destroy Baekje again and achieve great achievements, how could Li Zhi's position as prince be equaled?

    No, we can¡¯t let Li Zhen succeed!

      We must not let Li Zhen win Baekje!

    As long as Li Zhen cannot capture Baekje, the demise of Silla will be meaningless, and Li Zhen will definitely become the target of thousands of people.

    Thinking of this, Sun Changwuji gritted his teeth secretly. He felt that he should do something, even if it was harmful to the interests of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Zhen could fail, then Li Zhi's crown prince position would be unstoppable.  shake

    At this time, Li Zhen had left Jixian and was moving quickly across the border between Datang and Baekje.

    Li Zhen knew that this war with Baekje would have a serious impact on the Tang Dynasty and even future generations.

    In the original history, the Tang Dynasty fought a battle with the allied forces of Baekje and Japan at the mouth of Baijiang River.

    In that battle, the Tang army won the victory, so that some Japanese countries took Datang as their division and did not dare to provoke Datang for thousands of years.

    It is a pity that the victory of this battle was eventually stolen by Silla. Datang did not get any benefits, but instead gave rise to Silla, a powerful opponent.

    The effects of the Battle of Baijiangkou lasted until the Ming Dynasty, which shows the far-reaching influence of this battle.

    However, the historical Battle of Baijiangkou occurred more than ten years later, and was presided over by the famous Tang general Liu Rengui. Now, Liu Rengui is far less sophisticated than later generations, and he is not in the eastern border area. The commander of the Tang army in this battle was replaced by  Li Zhen.

    Li Zhen didn't know whether he could defeat the coalition forces of Baekje and the Japanese like Liu Ingui, but now that Silla had been destroyed, he had to win this battle. If he won, he could consolidate China's rule over the Korean Peninsula and create a better country for China.  This laid the foundation for peace in the eastern region for thousands of years to come.

    Li Zhen led 10,000 light cavalry and quickly arrived at the border with Baekje.

    Since this period of time, more than ten thousand Goguryeo cavalry led by Quan Nanchan have been continuously attacking the original homeland of Goguryeo, fanning the flames everywhere, and wanting to restore the country.

    Fortunately, Xue Rengui¡¯s command was stable and the defense line was relatively stable. Quan Nanchan¡¯s repeated attacks failed.

    Although the number of Quannan's cavalry is only about 10,000, they are the most effective assault cavalry in Goguryeo. They should not be underestimated. The first thing Li Zhen did when she arrived at the front line was to plan how to eliminate Quannan's last Goguryeo cavalry.  strength.

    And this opportunity will come soon.

    The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. On the border between Tang Dynasty and Baekje, there are many tents. More than 10,000 Goguryeo cavalrymen are stationed here, eyeing the hometown of Goguryeo (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
