Chapter 405: Let's see how much you weigh
"Is this the attitude of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shan was very angry when he heard this. He never thought that the envoy from the Heavenly Dynasty in front of him would have such an attitude. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, in fact, he
It was to help Silla. I thought that Silla and Baekje signed an alliance to carve up the Han River Basin. But what I never expected was that after Silla occupied the lower reaches of the Han River Basin, it was not satisfied at all, and instead raised troops to seize the upper reaches of the Han River.
, Baekje's military strength was not as good as Silla's. In addition, it was caught off guard and could not withstand the opponent's attack. It suddenly took away the Han River Basin. Now, Silla's strength has increased significantly.
You must know that the Han River Basin is the main producing area of food. On the Silla Peninsula, the Han River Basin is very important. I originally thought that, as it was also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty would at least criticize Silla.
He said a fair word or expressed sympathy, but he never thought that the envoy from the Tang Dynasty was secretly protecting Silla. How could he endure this?
"Hmph, this is a matter between the vassal countries. How could the Tang Dynasty interfere in the national affairs of the vassal country?" At this time, Su Dingfang sneered: "Xiaguan heard in the Tang Dynasty that Baekje and Goguryeo were preparing to form an alliance. I don't know if it is possible.
Is there such a fact? Since you are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, why do you need an alliance? Don’t you want to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty? Aren’t you afraid that our Tang army will come to conquer you? You actually dare to talk about the Celestial Dynasty." Su Dingfangben.
He is an iron-blooded soldier who has killed countless people in his life. His words naturally contained a murderous spirit. As soon as the words came out, a murderous intention enveloped the entire hall. Jin Huixin's face changed, his eyes flashed, and he was dead.
He stared at Su Dingfang. Yan Chuan even nodded. The person in front of him was probably his true identity. With his words, he gave an order and thousands of troops followed. His words contained the aura of an iron-blooded battlefield.
I am afraid that people in the Tang Dynasty are not simple things.
"May I ask if these words of the deputy envoy can represent the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shan's lips trembled with anger, and he pointed at Su Dingfang and said: "Although our country is weak and the people are poor, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops in Baekje, and we can still resist your great power.
Tang Yier."
"Presumptuous." Su Dingfang's expression suddenly changed, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed to pieces by him. He snorted coldly: "This general is General Yingyang of the Tang Dynasty. He followed the champion to conquer the Western Regions. He destroyed hundreds of countries and killed them.
I'm afraid there are more people than you in the whole of Baekje. You think your few men and horses are not enough to kill one person."
"General Yingyang?" Anchuan's hand couldn't help shaking, and he exchanged looks with Queen Seonde. Both sides looked shocked. No matter what the other general did. But in the end, he was called a general.
In the Tang Dynasty, didn’t one have certain military capabilities to become a general? How many more official positions were there than a general? I’m afraid there were very few! I didn’t expect that a general would come to Silla in person. For Silla, in the end,
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
"The general followed the champion prince and led an army of tens of thousands, destroying hundreds of people in the Western Regions. He was personally named a prince by your majesty. Ahem! The so-called killing of people in the city is not an exaggeration." Although Cui Haoran was a little dissatisfied with Su Dingfang's promotion of his identity.
He said it, but the other party's official position was far above his own, so he had no choice but to stand up and state it.
"I, the general, are here to personally escort Princess Silla to the capital in accordance with His Majesty's imperial decree." Su Dingfang stood up and glanced at the people in the hall. As he looked, he felt as if he was immersed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He couldn't bear it.
Everyone lowered their heads and listened to him snort coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor has long heard that thieves were causing trouble in the Han River Basin. He was afraid that the princess and her party would be disturbed by the thieves, so he sent his general here to personally escort the princess into the palace.
Hum, but I never thought that there are actually people here who are not afraid of death. If you, Silla, declare to leave the Tang Dynasty at this moment and form alliances with other countries without authorization, I will not mind leading my troops to your country and let them
Let me see, apart from the beacon smoke in the deserts of the Western Regions, there is another land that was not conquered by the Tang Dynasty. His name is Baekje." Su Dingfang's eyes loomed with murderous intent, and finally his eyes fell on Li Shan's body, a huge
All the pressure shrouded Li Shan, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and did not dare to speak anymore. The hall was even more silent.
When Cui Haoran saw this, he secretly complained in his heart. This is Qiu Ba's style. He had known it earlier. He would rather not get this opportunity for promotion than accompany Qiu Ba here.
Fortunately, Su Dingfang found an excuse in a hurry and said that he was here to escort the imperial concubine. Otherwise, if General Ying Yang entered the capital of another country as a deputy envoy, the problems here would be worth discussing. It is inevitable that
Arousing suspicion among the people of Silla. "I heard that those who guard the royal capital of Silla are all elite troops. I wonder if it is true? There are more than a thousand soldiers in this general, and I would like to give some advice to the Silla Royal Guards. I don't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Jin
General, are you willing?" Su Dingfang did not let go, but turned to Jin Gengxin, with fierce fighting spirit in his eyes, and a hint of contempt. The thousand soldiers he brought were all his commanders and followed him to conquer the Western Regions.
Although the Tang Dynasty stipulated that generals were not allowed to have personal soldiers, it did not hinder his feelings for them. When he came to Silla this time, he specifically asked the General Staff for these more than a thousand subordinates, saying that he was acting on orders.
It's better to say that I came here to have fun and relax. But I never thought that I saw the envoys from Baekje and Goguryeo at the state banquet of Silla, and I immediately guessed the Queen of Silla's plan.
Do you want to use the Tang Dynasty to suppress Baekje and Goguryeo? If you want to use the Tang Dynasty as a chess piece, you have to pay a certain price. I will let you know what is a superior country and what is a celestial dynasty. I want you to bathe in the celestial dynasty forever.
In the majesty of the emperor, this was Su Dingfang's original intention. In addition, Lu Zhaoci also asked him to check the national strength of Silla. He knew the thoughts of Emperor Zhenguan, and he was just interested in the Three Kingdoms of Silla.
.The so-called marriage is only temporary. Look at which countries in history did not go to war because of marriage. Facts have proved that marriage has no effect at all. The Tang Dynasty will not be bound by marriage. Hum, look at that
Queen Seondeok was also born well. This kind of woman should serve the emperor. The two sisters serving the emperor together will become a good story in the near future.
For example, the world should belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor should rule the four directions.
"The general has such ambitions, how dare the subordinates not respond?" Before Queen Seondeok could say anything, Jin Gengxin stood up immediately and said with cupped hands. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He had always wanted to see the Tang Dynasty.
How is the power of the garden? Let's see if Datang's army is as powerful as the legend. Even if Su Dingfang didn't bring it up, he would bring it up himself. What's more, he just saw a kind of contempt in Su Dingfang's eyes.
This kind of naked contempt made him dislike it very much, so he didn't care whether he was overstepping or not, and responded without waiting for Queen Seonde to speak.
"What do you think, Your Highness the Princess?" Su Dingfang ignored Jin Gengxin. Instead, he looked at Queen Shande. Obviously in his eyes, Jin Gengxin was not qualified to talk to him at all. The only one who could talk to him was Shande.
Queen, a person named Princess Lelang by the Emperor of the Central Plains.
"This?" Queen Seondeok had a look of embarrassment on her face when she heard this. She didn't know what Su Dingfang meant when he suddenly wanted to compete with the palace guards, and she didn't want to ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries. She didn't know how to answer for a while.
He could only glance at Anchuan, but he saw that Anchuan nodded towards him. He immediately felt at ease and said, "Since the general is so elegant, I, Silla, will just accompany him."
"Okay, she deserves to be Princess Lelang, and she deserves to be the Queen of Silla." Su Dingfang was overjoyed, glanced at Jin Gengxin, and said with a smile: "General, please don't worry, I will not go on stage. I will appoint my deputy general. Well,
Let me appoint my general’s lieutenant. I hope the general will not disappoint me!”
"Ah!" Jin Gengxin's face changed and turned red, and he looked at Su Dingfang with a fixed look. This was contempt again. Naked contempt. But he had no choice, because Su Dingfang was a general from the Celestial Dynasty, and his status was far above his own.
Above. Su Dingfang's personal exit would be a loss of status, but by appointing a deputy general to fight against him, wouldn't it mean that he looked down on his Silla army? Didn't he take Jin Gengxin seriously at all? If he wins, it is naturally good.
, but once he loses, wouldn’t it make him, Jin Gengxin, ashamed?
"Okay, so, very good." Yanchuan said with a smile: "I heard that the army of the Celestial Empire is very brave. This competition can just give me some advice on Silla. Your Majesty, I thought that the warriors of the Kingdom of China came from afar.
It's very hard, why not let them rest for a day or two, and the competition will be held in three days. What do you think, the king?" This is Silla. Although Queen Seondeok was named the Princess of Ryang, he still called her the king.
"That's very good." Queen Seondeok nodded when she heard this, and said to Su Dingfang and Cui Haoran: "Since the angel is so elegant, I, Silla, will just accompany me. When the time comes, I will also invite the envoys from Goguryeo and Baekje to come and watch.
I wonder what you two think?" Queen Seondeok finally said to the two envoys from Goguryeo and Baekje.
"Dare you disobey me?" Li Shan and the Goguryeo envoy looked at each other and nodded quickly. In this way, they could see the strength of Silla and the military strength of the Tang Dynasty. They would kill two birds with one stone and they would naturally agree.
Come down.
"That's very good. See you in three days." Su Dingfang stood up in high spirits, bowed his hands to Queen Shande, and then left. Seeing this, Cui Haoran had no choice but to stand up, with a wry smile on his face. The scholar met
When it comes to soldiers, there is no reason to explain, but it is true that a high-ranking official can crush people to death. Su Dingfang's power is far above his own. How can a person who has just been named a marquis in Zhouzhou be controlled by a small doctor of the Ministry of Rites.
Although Cui Haoran was the envoy, Su Dingfang had no choice but to do anything. Once he saw the decision was made, he could only agree.
"Arrogant." Jin Gengxin looked at Su Dingfang's figure, stood up and shouted loudly. Jin Gengxin did not speak, with a trace of thinking on his face. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Changchuan's mouth, and he nodded repeatedly. Jin Shengman
The two sisters looked even more confused.
Upon seeing this, Li Shan and the Goguryeo envoys showed a sneer on their lips, stood up, and left.
"Sir, what do you think? Why did the envoy of the Tang Dynasty want to compete with my guards? I heard that the people of the Tang Dynasty were all well-educated and polite people. Why did they become so domineering and domineering when they arrived at General Su's place?" Queen Seondeok was a little bit
asked in surprise.
"Chunqiu, what do you think?" Yan Chuan did not answer, but looked at Jin Gengxin.
"I think there are three problems with this. On the one hand, it is to show off the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, General Su did not go on the field himself, but sent his deputy to go on the field. This shows that he is confident of winning. As long as he defeats me,
The army is enough to show off the military power of the Tang Dynasty. The second reason is to test the strength of our army. Because the Tang Dynasty wants to use our country to balance the three gardens of Silla, and even wants to use our army to hold back Goguryeo. As long as the time is right, the army of the Tang Dynasty will
They will definitely come from the west to avenge the past. However, the Tang Dynasty has had wars for many years, and its national strength must have been depleted. It will take time to pacify Goguryeo and avenge the great vengeance of the past. Among the Three Kingdoms, we can only choose our country.
.If our country is stronger and can compete with Goguryeo, it may be able to get support from the other party. If it cannot get into the opponent's eyes, Datang may have another plan. This is also the third purpose, which is to intimidate.
To intimidate Goguryeo and Baekje, the envoys did not dare to disturb the two gardens. Therefore, General Su Dingfang proposed a challenge to our court, regardless of whether it was at a state banquet. The object of the challenge was the guards guarding the palace. I thought that only
These three reasons make General Su Dingfang like this." After hearing this, Nalan Chuan nodded repeatedly, and looked at Jin Gengxin with a hint of approval in his eyes. He was able to tell the other party's plan in such a short period of time.
Not everyone can do this, at least not Jin Chenxin.
"Hmph, what if he fails?" Jin Gengxin showed a strange smile on his lips.
"He does not want to fail, nor can he fail." Jin Gengxin replied without thinking: "I heard that he followed the champion to conquer the Western Regions and destroyed more than a hundred countries. I don't know how many people died in his hands. It's said that he
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the murderer king. Secondly, although I don’t know what kind of person the champion is, in the history of the Central Plains, the title champion has always referred to one person, that is Huo Qubing during the Han Dynasty. Today’s Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
Being able to confer the title of champion to the opponent shows his military exploits. Su Dingfang was able to follow this person and made such great contributions, which shows how powerful this person is. This person can be so bold as to send a lieutenant to fight with Jin Gengxin.
This shows his confidence; even if my palace guards could defeat the Tang army, I thought that they would not be able to defeat them.
"Why? Looking at Su Dingfang's proud look, we should defeat him to prevent him from looking down on our Silla." Jin Gengxin said dissatisfied.
"Every country in China wants to save face." Jin Taiqiu sneered: "The same is true for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. We have to give face to the other side. If our army defeats the Chinese army, the Emperor of China will not look good. More importantly, there may be
They will be suspicious of Silla and will be wary of Silla in the future. They will not provide assistance to our country. What's more, in three days, the envoys from Goguryeo and Baekje will also watch. If the Chinese army fails,
The sharp swords hanging over their heads will also disappear, and they will unite more unscrupulously to deal with Silla. Therefore, in the competition in three days, Datang will never fail.
"Is it possible to lose like this? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?" Jin Gengxin is not a person who has no overall perspective. Otherwise, he would not allow his beloved woman to marry far away. But it is not okay for him to lose like this.
His character.
"Of course not." Yan Chuan said with a smile: "If we lose too easily, it will make Datang look down on me Silla. You know, if you want to feel that Silla is still useful in the eyes of Datang,
Then you have to come up with something to make others feel that Silla is still useful. If you show that it is useless, it is conceivable that the Tang Dynasty will support other Yuan families. Maybe Goguryeo is impossible, but what about Baekje?
?Baekje is possible, and even Fusang across the sea is possible. You must know that Fusang is also very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It pays tribute every year and actively sends overseas students to the Tang Dynasty to learn advanced knowledge. They can all be replaced.
I'm from Silla. So after three days, I won't let them win too easily." This Yanchuan is an old fox after all, and when he said something, everyone was enlightened and nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, that's for the best. If the general loses to a lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty like this, the general will be extremely unwilling to do so." After hearing this, Jin Gengxin's expression improved a lot.
"I'm afraid that our palace guards are no match for the Tang army!" At this time, a faint voice sounded. Everyone looked and saw that it was Princess Jin Shengman. There was a hint of wisdom flashing in her eyes.
, said: "Since General Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty is so sure, it means that he has great confidence in his men. I once heard that the army of the Tang Dynasty dominates the world and is invincible. Since the other party dares to threaten like this,
Either they are a group of useless people, or they are a group of brave men. I am leaning towards the latter, so I suggest that General Jin should go all out to avoid losing too miserably."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. They were all smart people here. After thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but look at each other. If this is true, it might really become a big joke! Even Jin Gengxin had a trace of embarrassment on his face. Of course.
He was still more dissatisfied.
"Okay, General Jin, just work hard to prepare for war." Kinderman waved his hand with a solemn expression.
