The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 862 Profit-seeking (for subscription)

Support Silla to suppress Baekje, and confront Goryeo North and South.

This is the cake that Mo Xiaobai painted for the Silla people before.

Now that he is in Korea, Mo Xiaobai has completely forgotten about this plan. Even Cao Yi has to admire Mo Xiaobai's ability to change his face.

This guy didn't tell the truth at all.

Mo Xiaobai didn't care about the faces of other people, and asked, "Dare to ask the king, how big is the land of Sanhan?"

"Naturally, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields."

"How much is Goryeo?"

"Three Hans respect me, and Goryeo occupies at least [-]% of the land." When Wang Xun spoke, there was still a bit of arrogance on his face, which was his capital for being king.

Mo Xiaobai nodded, and asked again: "Does the king like this kind of superficial respect, or do he get the benefits in his hand?"

After all, without waiting for Wang Xun to answer, he explained to himself: "The land of Sanhan seems to be fertile land for hundreds of thousands of miles, but after all, it is a limited land and mountains. What do you want most?"

"All people in the world need stability and survival. Since Baekje cannot provide them, they will naturally find someone who can give them stability. This person can be the King of Silla, or His Majesty. Compared with Silla and Baekje, Conflicts often occurred, and I think they went farther and surrendered to Goryeo, and truly became the subjects of His Majesty's rule."

"In the past, although Baekje said it was respectful to the king, it was just a superficial effort. If you really want to count it seriously, you don't know who Baekje is more loyal to. Instead of spending your time trying to control this unfamiliar wolf, why don't you cook it directly?" With wine, the wolf skin can also be made into a coat."

Mo Xiaobai's words made Wang Xun's eyes light up, who had always fixed his thinking in the concept of Sanhan.Yuan Zhiqi had been saying that outsiders should not be allowed to intervene in the matter of Sanhan before, but he didn't say what to do in order to benefit Goryeo.

Is it good for Goryeo to let the Han and Song soldiers withdraw from Samhan and stop invading Baekje?
How can I see it!
Even Mo Xiaobai's words reminded Wang Xun that because of Yuan Zhiqi's status as prime minister, Baekje and his Yuan family are very close.

At present, is Baekje listening to himself, or is he more willing to listen to Yuan's family?

The corners of Wang Xun's eyes flickered, and he found that the events caused by the selection of the magic horse had exposed many things that had been hidden in the dark in the past.

Why did Yuan Zhiqi and his courtiers want to protect Baekje to death?
However, the idea put forward by the Earl of Dahan gave him the illusion of a sudden enlightenment.

Although Goryeo is stronger among the three Koreas, the situation has always been so stalemate. Without external intervention, there may not be major changes in hundreds of years.

At present, Han, Song, and Silla are besieging Baekje, directly breaking the deadlock among the three Hans.Wouldn't it be too stupid to try to restore the situation to its original state without thinking about how to profit from it?

But he would not tell Mo Xiaobai directly about these things, he just squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Zhiqi, and then said in a broad voice: "Let's come here first for today's court meeting. Wang Zeri has other important matters to discuss."

.........

After leaving the palace, everyone still temporarily stayed at the Da'an Temple in the city.

After returning to the wing room and closing the door, Cao Yi immediately pulled Mo Xiaobai to sit down: "Aren't you worried that what the Earl said in the hall will reach the ears of Silla people?"

Just now, Mo Xiaobai almost completely overturned his promise and support for Silla. Although Cao Yi did not speak out during the court meeting, he was still a little anxious.

This side has just conspired with Silla. If the people of Silla know about it, there will be other troubles if the guarantee is not complete.

"Why are you worried?" Mo Xiaobai asked casually as he sat down unhurriedly.

"How can Silla not be suspicious if it is so contradictory?"

"Contradictory? Why do you see it?"

Mo Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "What is the core of what I just said to King Koryo? It is to ask Koryo to give up rushing to help Baekje and take this opportunity to conspire with him. Just imagine that when Baekje is in crisis, if the North Goryeo also came to meddle, what choice can they make? The excuse for this war is the dispute between Baekje and Silla. ?”

consistent?

Of course they agree!
Cao Yi also thought this was the case, but he still couldn't make up his mind: "But you said just now that you supported Goryeo's attempt to seize Baekje?"

"Yes, I support it, but we also support Silla United Baekje, what's wrong?"

Mo Xiaobai asked another question, and then said: "On the battlefield, interests are the most important. Whether it is Korea or Silla, we will support whoever can meet our interests. If Silla can Baekje's surrender and a showdown with Goryeo are not empty words, and the previous promise will naturally be fulfilled. If he can't do this, but let Goryo take the lead, why should we care about the verbal temporary covenant?"

"The purpose of our coming to Korea is only to prevent Korea from affecting our plans, that's all. As for the matter of Sanhan, of course they can solve it themselves, and I believe they will not be happy for us to interfere too much."

After some words, Mo Xiaobai poured a cup of tea for himself and Cao Yi.When I was in the palace, I kept talking non-stop, and my mouth was almost dry.

After Mo Xiaobai drank two cups of weak tea, Cao Yi gradually digested his thoughts.

Mo Xiaobai's remarks can be summed up in four words.

Profit is the picture!

This is true whether it is Dahan, Baekje, or Silla.

The interests of Da Song are obviously tied to Dahan and Damengcheng. If they want to gain a firm foothold in the Three Koreas, it will be very difficult for Dahan and Dasong to do so.

Only when the two dynasties advance and retreat together can they bring enough deterrence to Sanhan.

It was only at this moment that Cao Yi suddenly understood why Mo Xiaobai had invited him to share the cake. The reason was definitely not as simple as the fact that the Song Dynasty, Korea, and the Han Dynasty all bordered each other.

"In your opinion, will Gao Li agree?"

Mo Xiaobai nodded with a smile on the corners of Cao Yi's eyes: "The naked interests are in front of us, and now they may not be able to arrive in time if they want to help Baekje. If it were you, how would you choose? Another point, Once the King of Korea makes this choice, there are inherent benefits for him."

"You mean the Yuan family?"

"The Yuan family wants to become a general in Korea and control all the power inside and outside the court. I think the king of Korea has tolerated him for a long time."

Following Mo Xiaobai's sigh, Cao Yi also picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp: "The earl is so thoughtful, it's really scary. I hope we will be allies today and not rivals in the future."

"Things in the world are impermanent, let's talk about the future, at least now we can conspire with Baekje and expand the land for the two countries." Mo Xiaobai stood up and looked south.

In all likelihood, Koryo will not disrupt the situation. Now it depends on whether the coalition forces can seal the victory within the estimated time.
