Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 484: Japanese Navy, Tang Auxiliary Army?
"Japanese women are really scary."

"so amazing."

“It’s draining me dry.”

"I don't have a drop left."

"Who told you to call three?"

Walking out of the brothel, Li Jingheng and others were whispering about the power of geishas.

Completely different from the girls in Chang'an.

Just as Xue Yuanchao said, these girls are very obedient, and this obedience is fundamentally different from that of the girls in Chang'an.

Just very comfortable.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's wonderful."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Master Xue, you really chose a good place."

Xue Yuanchao smiled and waved his hand, "Japanese women are like fine wine. Although the wine is good, don't drink too much."

"You are all the backbone of the pacification of Goryeo this time. It would not be beautiful if you spent too much energy and spirit on these women."

"Besides, the prince had already sent someone to deliver the news last night."

"Play is fun, make noise is noise, but don't delay important matters."

"Yeah."

In response to Xue Yuanchao's reminder, Li Jingheng and others nodded.

We had a lot of fun this time, so next we have to get serious about dealing with Goryeo.

They can't linger here and forget the purpose of their trip.

When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Su Chen, Su Dingfang and others were having breakfast.

After seeing them reeking of alcohol and walking towards him with unsteady steps, Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

After all, young people are hot-tempered.

"Your Majesty, Grand Commander."

"Take a seat."

Su Chen responded casually.

Li Jingheng and others smiled awkwardly and took their seats.

Su Chen said calmly, "I have just discussed with the Grand Commander and will arrange for some personnel to go to Silla to borrow the passage."

"Who do you think is more suitable?"

Facing Su Chen's question, Li Jingheng and others looked at each other.

They didn't expect that Su Chen had just arrived in Japan and started preparing to deal with Goryeo.

Li Jingheng: "I'll go."

Cheng Chumo: "I'll go, I'll go."

Su Chen waved his hand, interrupting Li Chongyi who was about to speak, and looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "You get seasick at sea, so you are not suitable for this mission."

“Besides, you haven’t recovered yet, and you’re going to the city to have fun. Do you still have the energy to go to Silla?”

Cheng Chumo: "..."

It's a little embarrassing.

Li Jingheng smiled and said, "I can do it."

Su Chen glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Su Dingfang beside him with some inquiry in his eyes.

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Silla is just a small country. It won't be a problem no matter who is sent there this time."

"and."

“Silla may not agree to borrow the road.”

As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

If Silla agreed to allow the passage, the Japanese navy could land in Silla and attack Goryeo from the north.

Once Goryeo was destroyed, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Tang Dynasty would not take action against Silla.

"What we want is for them to disagree."

Su Chen smiled calmly, "If they agree to let us pass through, what reason do we have to kill them?"

Su Dingfang smiled and nodded, "That's true."

Cheng Chumo: "What if they agree?"

Su Chen: "If they agree, then it will be easier. We can just bypass Silla and destroy Goryeo first, then deal with Baekje. As for the rest of Silla, they will have no choice but to surrender to it."

As he spoke, Su Chen's eyes passed over Li Jingheng and the others, and he suddenly laughed, "Why not let Xue Yuanchao go?"

"Ah I?"

Xue Yuanchao pointed at his nose in surprise, very surprised.

Su Chen nodded.

Compared with Li Jingheng and others, Xue Yuanchao's talent and eloquence are naturally far superior to theirs.

and.

This time we are going to negotiate for permission to pass through the country, not to go to war with Silla.

Even if Xue Yuanchao is not strong enough to even tie a chicken, there will be no danger if he goes there.

Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui both laughed.

"Master Xue is indeed a good candidate."

"It's more important to do more things and spend less time on Japanese women."

"..."

Xue Yuanchao smiled awkwardly.

"how?"

"Since the prince has given the order, I will naturally obey it."

In response to Su Chen's question, Xue Yuanchao readily agreed.

It's just a trip to Silla, there won't be any risk.

Even if there is a risk, it is Silla.

"Okay, that's settled."

Su Chen nodded, "There is no time to lose. You should take a boat to Silla at noon to discuss the matter of borrowing the passage."

Xue Yuanchao nodded in agreement.

Zhishishili has already set off, so they can't go too slow.

otherwise.

Zhishishili's army has already started fighting with Goryeo, and they have not yet entered Goryeo's territory. How can that be possible?
At noon, Xue Yuanchao headed for Silla under the protection of a tower ship and two warships.

Su Chen brought Li Jingheng and others, and followed Liu Rengui to select soldiers for this expedition.

"Your Majesty, these people are truly elite."

Liu Rengui pointed to the 10,000 soldiers in front of him and said, "It was this navy that pacified the Soga no Emishi and defeated the army of Inujo Mita Kuwata."

"In addition to these tens of thousands of troops, the Grand Commander also recruited Koizumi Juichiro from the Koizumi family and asked him to recruit Japanese civilians and train soldiers."

"Although there are not many people, there are still 5,000 of them."

"These people may become our vassal army and follow us to conquer Goryeo."

Su Chen's eyes swept over the naval army of 10,000 people.

One can clearly smell a slight smell of blood from these people.

These are a group of sailors who have truly seen blood.

As for Koizumi Juichiro mentioned by Liu Rengui, Su Chen had heard of him.

This person was not only a member of the Koizumi family, but also the first Japanese general to surrender to Su Dingfang and his men.

Although they were not very powerful, they were a family force that was born and raised in Japan. They knew Japan very well and this provided them with a lot of help.

Those silver mines were successfully taken over with the assistance of Koizumi Jushiro.

Let Koizumi Jushiro and the Japanese navy be cannon fodder?

Interesting.

A new style of Imperial Army?

Tang Xiejun?
ummm
Even if their fighting capacity is not good, they will have no problem charging into the front and attracting the enemy's firepower.

Moreover.

What’s the problem if some Japanese people are killed or injured?
No matter how many people died, Su Chen would not feel heartbroken, he would only give them a great affirmation.

Good dog.

Su Chen nodded, "It's feasible."

"Arrange for Koizumi Jiro to meet with the king, and have him prepare to join us in the northern expedition to Goryeo."

"it is good."

Liu Rengui smiled and nodded.

"In addition, we have prepared a total of 500 warships this time, including 30 tower ships, 100 battleships, and the remaining 370 warships are mainly Japanese warships."

"According to our investigation, the Goryeo navy is quite strong, but it is still a little weaker than Koizumi Juichiro's navy."

"If Goryeo dares to fight us head-on on the sea, I can guarantee that we will leave as many people as they bring."

After all, Goryeo was a country smaller than Japan.

Even though they announced to the outside world that they had an army of 500,000 and countless warships, everyone knew the actual situation.

Just blowing.

Who doesn’t know how to brag?
If Goryeo could really put out the full complement of 200,000 troops, it would already be quite good.

Su Chen kept nodding at Liu Rengui's arrangements.

On the sea, there is certainly no chance that the Goryeo navy will win.

This is beyond doubt.

Whether it was the Tang Dynasty navy that was strengthened or not, or the Japanese navy that was defeated at one blow, they were enough to annihilate the Goryeo navy.

Then the next step is the landing battle.

If Silla agrees, borrowing the passage will undoubtedly be the most convenient. If they disagree, they can only use the lives of the Japanese navy to open a passage.

"Master Liu, have all the weapons and other things been installed?"

"Your Majesty, when you sent the supplies yesterday, I had already arranged it. This morning, the ammunition on each warship has been fully replenished and they are ready to go at any time."

Li Jingheng suddenly said, "Hey, Lord Liu, you didn't make any arrangements for those Japanese navy warships, did you?"

Liu Rengui said cheerfully, "It is naturally impossible for the Japanese navy to be equipped with these weapons."

Even if Koizumi Jushiro surrendered with these people, the relatives and friends still had to be clearly distinguished.

and.

The importance of these weapons meant that they would never deliver them to Koizumi Jushiro's navy.

Liu Rengui said softly, "Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. At least for now, we still have to remain vigilant against them."

"otherwise."

"If we really hand them weapons and they use them to attack us, that would not be pretty."

Li Jingheng and others laughed immediately.

Su Chen nodded and said, "Let's pass the instructions over there. We will set off tomorrow after Xue Yuanchao comes back."

"Whether Silla agrees or not, the army will march straight to Goryeo!"

……

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Su Chen met Koizumi Juichiro.

"Koizumi Juichiro, meet the King of Side by Side."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Has Liu Rengui informed you?"

"Your Highness, General Liu has informed me, and I have made all the necessary arrangements. I can follow the army to the north at any time."

"That's good."

Su Chen nodded, looked at the short Koizumi Juichiro, and said, "If you perform well in this northern expedition to Goryeo, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty."

"That's when."

"You may have a chance to take the position of Grand Commander of the Goryeo Protectorate!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"

Koizumi Jichiro was overjoyed and bowed to Su Chen till he reached his knees and even wanted to lick Su Chen's shoes to show his loyalty.

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Go back and join the army tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Koizumi Juichiro turned around and left happily.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, Xue Yuanchao returned from Silla in the morning of the next day.

Unsurprisingly.

The King of Silla does not agree to let him pass through!
