At this time, the Silla Kingdom did not have such a big appetite.
On another plane, after the Tang Empire eliminated Gaoguli, it gave up all the areas south of the Yalu River and north of the Han River.
But what?
When Du He came, he was very clear about the importance of that peninsula.
If the entire peninsula can be captured, it will have an extremely important role and significance for the defense of the empire.
Among other things, the depth of defense alone can give the empire a buffer zone.
Of course, assimilation and integration are the key to winning that peninsula.
The writing on the peninsula must be eradicated, and all Chinese culture should be implemented.
It is best to move the people on the peninsula to other parts of the Central Plains, so that the integration and assimilation will be faster.
Ha ha!
"Her Majesty, the Baekje Kingdom will take over, and half of the empire will be with the Queen's family."
Doo Ho said.
If Silla wants to send troops to contain Baekje and give Silla a piece of meat, there will definitely be no agreement.
To make the horse run, the horse must graze.
Only benefits will allow Silla to attack Baekje with all its strength and weaken Silla's strength.
The queen frowned slightly.
"General Du, Baekje is a foreign race, and that place has always been the territory of our Silla and other indigenous peoples."
the Queen whispered.
Du He understood what the queen meant.
But what?
In terms of national interests, Duhe will not compromise.
Although the queen is right!
The Baekje territory is indeed occupied by indigenous peoples like Silla.
However, Silla at that time was just a tribe, without the concept of a country, and its territory was even smaller.
"Her Majesty, you are right! The area occupied by Baekje is indeed indigenous peoples, but at that time,
Silla was also just a tribe and did not form a country.The land occupied by Baekje can only be regarded as public ownership,
If our two countries send troops, it must be divided between the two countries.If Silla can, it can also take Baekje independently.
In that way, the imperial army will not compete with Silla, just let it go to Silla. "
Du He said lightly.
If Silla is capable of taking Baekje, why not turn to the empire.
Hundreds of years have passed since the war between Silla and Baekje, and the three kingdoms have not yet been unified.
If it weren't for the complex geography and landforms of Silla, full of mountains and high mountains, it would have been wiped out by Baekje long ago.
Chapter 254 Silla's Abacus
As far as the peninsula is concerned, the two countries of Koguryo and Baekje are actually foreign races, and the real natives are only Silla.
Gaoguli and Baekje lived in the Liaodong area of the Central Plains Dynasty, and then slowly penetrated through the Yalu River before occupying part of the peninsula.
The north of the Han River and the south of the Yalu River were originally the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, but it was only because the Central Plains Empire was weak that it was lost.
The Baekje Kingdom is a minority ethnic group in Fuyu. After crossing the Yalu River, it was squeezed by Koguryo before shrinking to the south of the Han River.
During the heyday of Koguryo, both Baekje and Silla were beaten by Koguryo and hid in Tibet.
Shrinking in the deep mountains and old forests.
The geography of the peninsula seems to be jungle and mountainous, which is not conducive to the cavalry combat of Koguryo, and Koguryo won the two small countries.
Seeing that the Tang Emperor's army was losing ground in Koguryo, throwing away their helmets and armor, Silla saw an opportunity and came to discuss with Du He.
Once the Tang Emperor's army crossed the Yalu River and captured Koguryo and Baekje, the tentacles of the empire would extend to the south of the Han River.
Silla feels the pressure is great!
To be honest, the Silla Kingdom did not want the imperial army to cross the Han River. The problem was that the Tang Emperor’s army could not cross the Han River, and the Silla Kingdom would also be attacked by Baekje.
The war between the two countries has been fought for hundreds of years, and it is basically a tie.
Once Koguryo dies, the three countries on the peninsula will become two countries. In that case, Silla will definitely not be able to beat Baekje.
This is the intention of the Queen of Silla to find Duhe.
It is hoped that the Tang Empire will hand over the territory of Baekje to Silla for governance.
This kind of matter is related to the national interest, and Du He will definitely not agree to it.
If you agree, what is the difference from the development of another plane.
In that case, is it necessary for the Emperor Tang's army to destroy Baekje?
It is beneficial for the empire to have wars between the two countries from time to time.
Now that the empire has decided to destroy Baekje, it means that the empire has taken a fancy to the huge territory of the peninsula.
After hearing Du He's words, the queen was troubled!
She's worried about imperial ambitions.
Silla was unable to prevent the empire from developing southward.
In this way, after the demise of Koguryo and Baekje on the peninsula, the Silla Kingdom was exposed to the iron cavalry of the imperial army.
"Her Royal Highness, if the imperial army does not cross the Han River, Baekje can only rely on Silla's own troops to solve the problem. The empire will support some weapons at most."
Du He said lightly.
Support weapons cost money.
At any time, the price of weapons is definitely the most expensive. Even if the Tang Empire is willing to sell them, will Silla have the money to buy them?
The right to choose is handed over to Silla, who can choose one of the two.
The Queen frowned a few times.
Is there a choice?
How could Silla beat Baekje without relying on the empire?
Silla is a true aborigine, while Baekje is a foreign race, extremely aggressive, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than Silla.
Once the Tang Empire doesn't care about the life and death of Silla, it won't take long for Baekje to really destroy Silla.
The queen knew this in her heart.
"General Du, after your country takes down Koguryo and Baekje, you won't send troops to Silla, will you?"
the queen asked.
Ha ha!
"Her Majesty, Silla is a vassal state of the empire, why would it send troops to it? The empire is a peace-loving country,
It is also a country that abides by the spirit of the contract, and it is a benevolent and benevolent country that will not easily send troops to other countries.
Of course, the empire will punish the betrayers and invaders. "
Doo Ho said.
After talking with Du He, the queen and her staff settled in a tent, and Du He received the queen and her party at night.
"My lord, in the past two years of the Tang Empire, there have been great changes in foreign policy. It's not like before, as long as the vassal states just give away some radishes,
The Tang Empire will give a large amount of gold and silver treasures as gifts.Now, a dependent country has to hand over 5 taels of gold a year,
It is also required to garrison troops, and the military expenses should be borne by the subordinate countries. Another point is that the Tang Empire at this time is even more greedy. "
Prime Minister Jin Chunqiu said.
"This king knows. Since Du He was born in the Tang Empire, everything is slowly changing. Especially in diplomacy,
Great changes.In the past, the Tang Empire was very powerful, but it had a good face.In the current Tang Empire, from important ministers to emperors, only interests are in their eyes.
It is not a good thing to stay with such a greedy empire. "
The Queen frowned.
For a small country, if it wants to survive, it has no other choice but to compromise.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea that can protect the safety of Silla. However, I ask Your Majesty to forgive me for the crime of gaffe."
Kim Jong-do.
The queen and Jin Chunqiu were puzzled.
I don't know what Jin Zheng is going to say, and what is taboo.
"Master Jin, speak up! As long as it is beneficial to the country, I forgive your taboo words."
Queen said.
Jin Zheng was hesitant and didn't know whether to speak out or not.
If you don't do it well, you will be decapitated.
Now it's against the wall, all I can say is.
"Your Majesty, General Du is very young, if he marries the Queen, the relationship between the two countries will be different.
Coupled with Du He's status in the Tang Empire, which has a certain influence, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for Silla. "
Kim Jong stammered.
Jin Chunqiu's face turned black.
On the contrary, the Queen's face remained unchanged.
"Lord Jin, don't you know that Du He is the son-in-law of Emperor Tang. Besides, it is impossible for Du He to come to Silla.
What do you mean? "
Jin Chunqiu questioned.
"Prime Minister Jin, of course this official is clear. This official doesn't want Du He to visit, but just wants to have some relationship between the Queen and Du He.
There is only one child.Now the queen is single, and it is difficult to find a suitable one in Silla.Instead of that, it's better to have some relationship with Du He.
After all, Du He was extremely powerful in the Tang Empire.Not only is he a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but now he is also a military leader, deeply loved by Emperor Tang. "
Kim Jong-do.
After hearing this, the queen blushed and was ashamed.
During the conversation, Jin Zheng found that Du He was interested in the queen, and glanced at the queen from time to time.
As a normal man, who is not attracted to beautiful women.
Unless there is something wrong with the body.
"Your Highness, with your good looks, it won't be a problem to win Du He. The key is what the Queen thinks."
Kim Jong added.
Men chasing women, separated by mountains; women chasing men, separated by layers of paper.
In fact, when she saw Du He, the queen was very surprised, and she also had a good impression of Du He.
The queen is alone and in her twenties, in her prime.
In no mood!
That's a lie.
miss you!
That's normal human nature.
