Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1221 The last piece of the puzzle



Chapter 1221 The Last Piece of the Puzzle

When the Tang army swept across Goguryeo, the [-] Wa people stationed on the border between Silla and Goguryeo gradually became restless.

After capturing Quan Nanjian, the lord of Koguryo, Li Ji ordered [-] Wa people to move to defense.

The Wa people themselves had little combat power, especially after leaving Wa Island, [-] Wa people were under strict surveillance, almost like slaves, and their combat power was even worse.

Li Qinzai's purpose in taking them away from Wa Island was not to let them charge forward, and he knew that there was no hope at all.

However, the Wa people are not good at fighting, but they are still barely qualified to make troubles.

Li Ji moved [-] Wa people to the border of Silla for the purpose of causing trouble.

Therefore, after the soldiers of the Tang army swept away Goguryeo and the Wa people moved to defend the border of Silla, Li Ji deliberately underappropriated part of the food and grass. The [-] Wa people were already a little bit ready to move under the panic of lack of food.

After instructing several Japanese generals, under the intentional or unconscious instigation of the generals, a small number of Wa people gathered in the border of Silla to plunder.

In the beginning, it was only three or fifty people entering the country to rob, and the robbing was relatively civilized. After entering the villages in Silla, they basically did not take the initiative to hurt people.

Later, when they returned to the camp, they found that the generals did not punish them. Not only that, but the generals were happier eating the looted food than they were.

This undoubtedly contributed to the looting trend of the Japanese people, and gradually strengthened their courage.

Since the general doesn't pursue it, why be polite?
The kingdom of Wa and the kingdom of Silla have been feuds for centuries. The two countries face each other across the sea and have fought each other for many years. They have long been sworn enemies.

There is no pressure on the Wa people to grab the enemy's food.

The evolution of things is gradual, and the looting of a small army gradually evolved into the looting of hundreds of thousands of people.

Li Ji's fueling also played a role. He ordered that the grain and grass of the Wa people be cut off for ten days.

At the same time, [-] Tang troops were ordered to move their defenses, holding firearms and pressing down on the rear of the Japanese camp.

People in the Japanese camp became more and more panicked, but the Tang army was staring at them behind them, and they did not dare to mutiny. Therefore, the nature of the Japanese people's bullying and fear of the hard was vividly displayed.

We can't beat Tang Jun, and we can't beat Silla Xiaoxiba?
Under the command of the generals of the Wa Kingdom, the people of the Wa Kingdom came out of the camp in units of thousands of people and entered the border of Silla to plunder food and grass.

This time the Japanese people's looting was not so civilized. They not only robbed, but also killed people.

The people living in the Silla border were unlucky. After the Japanese entered the country, they burned, killed and looted. The Silla villagers rose up to resist, but the bloodthirsty Japanese became more and more perverted. The incident of the Japanese people massacring the village.

After robbing a village, the entire village, from villagers to livestock, has no one who can breathe. Wherever the Japanese people passed by, there was no grass growing.

In less than a month, countless villagers on the border of Silla were massacred.

The Japanese people got more and more sweetness, and their courage became more and more courageous. Later, they began to attack the cities of Silla and seize the official warehouses in the cities.

This is unbearable, Silla country is small, but the citizens are inexplicably arrogant, how can Japanese people be allowed to enter the country arbitrarily.

The king of the country, Jin Famin, sent a letter to Li Ji, asking the general manager of the Tang Dynasty to uphold justice, and at the same time mobilize the army to rush to the border to start a fight with the Japanese people at the border.

In terms of the combat power of the Japanese and Silla armies, they are actually about the same, otherwise they wouldn't have fought for hundreds of years without conquering each other.

Small-scale looting has developed from a small friction to a national war between the two countries.

The government and opposition parties of Silla were completely outraged, and the actions of the Wa people were not only provocative, but to destroy their country.

Jin Famin mobilized [-] Silla troops to confront and fight [-] Wa people at the border.

The strange thing is that no matter the Wa Kingdom or Silla, when they fought each other, they tried their best to fight each other. They all fought desperately when they met on the battlefield, but they were all respectful to the Tang army and dared not disobey.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Li Ji finally sent someone to speak.

As an envoy, Pang Tongshan, deputy general manager of the Liaodong Road Marching, was sent to the border between the two countries to mediate the dispute between Wa and Silla.

In his letter, Li Ji emphasized that the Tang Dynasty was a peace-loving country and also a suzerain country, and that the two vassal states would never allow each other to kill each other.

This time, the deputy chief of the Liaodong Road was sent to mediate the war, which shows that Datang attaches great importance to the border friction between the two countries. You better be more obedient.

With the prestige of destroying the country and the powerful Tang army eyeing Goguryeo, Wa and Silla immediately became honest, and at the same time respectfully expressed their willingness to accept the mediation of Datang.

Li Ji's military report ended here, and Pang Tongshan had just left the Tang Army's camp when he sent out the letter.

Li Qinzai carefully read the military newspaper several times, and then showed a satisfied smile.

Things are being realized step by step according to the plan of the grandparents and grandsons.

If Silla really thought that Pang Tongshan was going to mediate the war, it would be a bit naive.

After the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo, they had begun to sharpen their knives against Silla. What is lacking now is a legitimate reason to send troops.

I believe Pang Tongshan will find this reason.

Now there is only one Silla in the Haidong Peninsula that has not yet been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The military newspaper is not considered a victory report, but in Li Qinzai's view, it is more exciting than the military report.

Datang is calmly painting the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of Haidong Peninsula with his favorite color.

…………

The military newspaper was divided into two parts, one was sent to Taiji Palace, and the other was written by Li Ji to Li Qinzai personally.

When Li Qinzai saw the military newspaper, Li Zhi in Taiji Palace naturally also saw it.

Needless to say, of course it was Longyan Dayue. About the Haidong strategy, it was Li Zhi, Li Qinzai and several important officials in the DPRK who secretly discussed it together.

Now the situation in the Haidong Peninsula is developing towards the established goal. Li Ji is worthy of the meritorious service of the three dynasties, especially in the field of conquest. He has rich experience in war. Just looking at the details of the confrontation between Wa Kingdom and Silla, one can see how scheming Li Ji is.

In the afternoon, several horse-drawn carriages came out of the Tai Chi Palace, loaded with various silk and silk porcelains, fine wines and delicacies. The carriages were escorted by the guards and stopped in front of the British Palace.

These are all rewards from Li Zhi, the reason is to reward Yinggong for his meritorious service in the war. Of course, I won’t talk about the specific merits. The matter of sending troops to Silla is still a top secret of Datang, and few people know about it.

Li Siwen accepted Li Zhi's reward on behalf of the Duke's Mansion. Before leaving, the palace servants suddenly came to Li Qinzai and respectfully handed over a small brocade box.

Li Qinzai opened the brocade box, and inside lay the always new Kaiyuan Tongbao.

A whole lot of money, no more and no less.

Li Qinzai understood immediately, and accepted the money with a smile.
