Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 445 Destruction of Silla

"So that's the case, then I won't delay the ambassador's affairs!" Jin Famin said, secretly delighted.

However, for the sake of safety, he secretly sent someone to the post house and sneaked into the room where the envoy lived to see if it was as the envoy said.

Jin Famin, who had received all the news, felt relieved. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty was in a difficult situation, otherwise he would not have thought of recruiting Khitan, Mohe and other troops to rush to the northwest.

This is their opportunity for Silla.

Early the next morning, Jin Famin personally sent the envoys to leave the royal city, and then went back, ordering to step up the recruitment of soldiers and prepare to attack Baekje and Goguryeo.

After the envoy left the royal city, he sent a letter to the Anton Duhu Mansion and Xiongjin Duhu Mansion to get ready, and Jin Famin would send troops to attack them.

Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui immediately ordered the main force of the Tang army to sit at the important pass, while the reorganized mixed army marched to the junction with Silla.

The news that King Jin Famin of Silla intends to rebel against Datang soon spread to Chang'an.

An eunuch hurriedly broke into the Xuanzheng Palace and reported to Li Chengqian: "Report to Your Majesty! The Governor of Andong and the Governor of Xiongjin jointly passed the letter of Feiying."

"Submit it!" Li Chengqian said.

The eunuch stepped forward and handed the letter to Wang Quan, who then passed it on to Li Chengqian.

After seeing it, Li Chengqian said: "King Jin Famin of Silla is mobilizing all the troops of Silla to seize our two major regions, Andong and Woongjin."

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, there was an uproar in the Xuanzheng Hall. Has the Tang Dynasty reached this point?

Does any cat or dog dare to show their teeth and claws at Datang?
Silla is a small country, if it hadn't been protected by the Tang Dynasty, it would have been eaten by others without even scum left.

Well now, Datang killed all Goguryeo and Baekje, and Silla began to expand. Don't you know where you are?
"Your Majesty! I think it's right to send an envoy immediately to condemn Silla and make Silla King Jin Famin give up his unrealistic ideas." Hubu Shangshu came out and saluted.

Li Chengqian thought to himself: What you said is unrealistic. It is no longer a day or two for Silla to covet Baekje and Goguryeo. How could it be possible for you to give up taking the old places of Goguryeo and Baekje because of your few words.

"Jin Famin has an unruly heart, which is already known to everyone in Sima Zhaozhi's heart. Questioning cannot solve the problem, but I have a solution once and for all." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know what good strategy your Majesty has?" Hubu Shangshu asked.

"It's very simple. Send troops to destroy Xinluo, so that Xinluo will not jump up and down and cause trouble for Datang." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! I don't think it's right. Now that the Tang Dynasty has internal and external troubles, it's better not to use swords or swords. I think the king of Silla, Jin Famin, was just confused for a while. Why should His Majesty destroy his country?"

"God has the virtue of being good at life, why don't your majesty give Jin Famin a chance to reform himself and let him rein in the precipice." Hubu Shangshu said.

"Why does Aiqing keep raising the ambitions of others and destroying her prestige? Are you so timid that you are afraid of a tiny country? Could it be that my Tang Dynasty has reached the point where anyone can bully me?" Li Chengqian questioned.

"I'm not timid, it's really inappropriate to use swords again!" Hubu Shangshu wept.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money and food. If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. He is in charge of the household department, but a lot of money and food are spent from the account of the household department every day.

Now he has to carefully calculate every amount of money and food, and strictly control expenditures to avoid wasting money and food.

If he had enough money and food in his hands, let alone one Silla, even if there were ten Silla, he would not object to Li Chengqian sending troops, anyway, he could afford enough money and food to support the army.

However, the Ministry of Households did not have much money and food to support Datang to fight Silla again. He had actuarially calculated every amount of money and food, and had detailed plans, so they could not be misappropriated casually.

"I understand what Aiqing is concerned about, but Silla is not destroyed, and the Andong and Woongjin regions will fall into Silla's hands."

"That is the territory that has been conquered with blood by millions of soldiers for several generations. How can it be handed over to Silla."

"Even if I can agree, the soldiers who died in Goguryeo and Baekje cannot agree. The destruction of Silla is imperative." Li Chengqian said.

He was also embarrassed to embarrass the Minister of the Household Department too much, after all, it was not easy for others.

It seems that the Maritime Silk Road should be developed as soon as possible, and the trade of Datang will be connected to the sea and expand to other places.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was the richest is because the Maritime Silk Road was developed, and tea and porcelain were sold to all parts of the world, which greatly promoted the development of industry and commerce.

"But Your Majesty! How should we deal with the money, food and equipment in this fight against Silla?" The Minister of the Household Department still did not give up.

"These are all left to the Andong and Woongjin regions. Didn't I exempt these two regions from taxes for three years?" Li Chengqian said.

In this way, to solve the problem of money and food, the Minister of the Household Department can't say anything.

"Decree to Xue Rengui, ordering Xue Rengui to be the general manager of the Jilin Road March, together with Li Jinxing and others to crusade against Silla, and bring the king of Silla, Jin Famin, to see me." Li Chengqian said.

The court meeting ended, and the imperial edict was sent to the Anton Governor's Mansion that day.

Before the emperor's edict arrived, the Silla army launched an attack on the Andong area and the Xiongjin area on the grounds of assisting the Tang Dynasty.

They were all defeated by Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui, and the army of Silla retreated back to the territory of Silla, and sent envoys to admit their mistakes, but secretly prepared for the next action.

As soon as Li Chengqian's edict arrived at the Protectorate of Andong, Xue Rengui felt like he had been beaten to death, and joined forces with Liu Rengui, Li Jinxing and others to attack Silla.

Under the leadership of Xue Rengui and others, the Tang army invaded the hinterland of Silla all the way. People died in battle.

The Tang army broke through Silla's Maixiao City and many other cities. The Tang army gathered at Jincheng, the royal city of Silla, surrounded Jincheng, and persuaded Jin Famin to open the city and surrender.

Jin Famin refused with righteous words, and Tang Jun officially launched an attack on Jincheng.

Under the bombardment of Simen Guobeng, the walls of Jincheng collapsed, and the Tang army took the opportunity to enter the city and captured Jin Famin, Jin Yuxin and others alive.

Silla perished, and Jin Famin and others were escorted to Chang'an and dedicated to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian ordered someone to build a luxurious courtyard for Jin Famin and others, and let them spend their entire lives in it.

If Jin Famin and others were not thinking of taking Goguryeo and Baekje from Datang, they would not have ended up being destroyed, and they would not have been placed under house arrest in Chang'an.

After all, Silla is just a small country, so the author did not waste chapters writing about the battle between Tang Dynasty and Silla.

Basically, there is not too much narrative, and it simply explains the demise of Silla and the ending of Kim Famin and others.

Unnecessary space has been greatly reduced.
