Chapter 3097 The situation in Liaodong
It has to be said that Li Yuanjing's plan is indeed far-reaching. He can not only seize the greatest benefits, but also completely throw away responsibility.
This is in line with Li Yuanjing’s character, who only takes advantage and never suffers losses...
Chai Zhewei was a little hesitant. Did he really follow Li Yuanjing's design, first stand in the Jin King's team, and then work with Li Yuanjing to seize profits at the critical moment? Logically speaking, with King Jin and King Jing standing in front of him, he would be invincible no matter where things ended up.
However, he always had concerns in his heart. The reason was simple. He did not believe in Li Yuanjing's character...
If His Royal Highness King Jing, who "did great things without sacrificing his own life," had all his plans come true, he would naturally be richly rewarded; but if things went a little awry, would he be thrown out to calm His Majesty Li Er's anger? Woolen cloth?
This is very likely to happen.
But if I give up such an opportunity, and rely on my step-by-step qualifications in the future, when will I be able to stand firm in the center and have my own place in the political hall and the military aircraft department?
After weighing the left and right and considering it repeatedly, Chai Zhewei said hesitantly: "Weichen is weak and needs some time to recuperate. We can discuss these matters until Weichen recovers and goes to Zuotunwei to take office."

Li Yuanjing was a little dissatisfied.
I've been talking about it for a long time, but you've backed down?
However, this kind of thing cannot be forced too much. If Chai Zhewei is unwilling to do so and betrays him halfway, disaster will be imminent...
I had to hold back my anger and squeeze out a smile, nodded and said: "That's exactly the truth, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
After sitting for a while and chatting for a while, Li Yuanjing stood up and left.
After sending Li Yuanjing to the door, Chai Zhewei returned to the dormitory and felt a little dizzy. This was caused by the lingering wind and cold, and partly because of Li Yuanjing's intention.
Who would have thought that when the empire was in flames and flowers were blooming, these undercurrents would suddenly emerge?
The current situation seems to only take one wrong step, and the good situation will be ruined. Foreign enemies and internal ghosts jump out one after another, stirring up the situation in all parties and leading the situation. The future prospects actually seem to be hidden in the dark. In the fog, you can't see clearly.
Who can clear the clouds and see the sun and find the way to the future?
*****
Hibiscus Garden, the residence of Queen Seondeok.
The Silla maid placed a pot of tea on the coffee table, and placed a few teacups on one side. She lowered her head and stepped out slowly.
The atmosphere in the hall is a bit subtle...
Jin Famin knelt down in front of the coffee table, with his head lowered, feeling unspeakable in his heart.
Opposite him, Fang Jun was sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a loose robe, and his hair was a little damp. It was obvious that he had just taken a bath. His aunt, Queen Seondeok, was sitting on the other side with her. She was even more beautiful and charming, with white skin. The red skin shows that it has just been moisturized by a rain and dew...
Jin Famin sighed.
Although he understood that a woman like Queen Shande would not be able to maintain her chastity after entering the Tang Dynasty and would become a plaything pursued by the Tang Dynasty's dignitaries, but now that it happened in front of her, she still couldn't calm down the humiliation and resentment in her heart.
But he also knew that this could never be avoided.
When a peerless beauty with noble status, beautiful appearance, and gentle charm becomes a subordinate, her freedom and dignity will be completely trampled under her feet. If she wants to live, she can only drift with the tide.
Fortunately, Fang Jun, a prominent figure with unparalleled meritorious deeds, could slightly reduce the resentment in Jin Famin's heart. If it were a fat-headed, over-60-year-old nobleman, he would just think of lying on his aunt's delicate and flowery body and humiliating her arbitrarily. The picture made him want to kill someone.
If you can't kill others, then commit suicide...
Queen Seondeok poured tea with bare hands. She first pushed one cup in front of Fang Jun, and then poured another cup for Jin Famin. She asked softly: "Silla is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Is the journey tiring? Although you are young. Although you are in good health, you should also pay attention to your health early and don’t let your elders worry.”
She still liked this nephew very much.
If it weren't for the conspiracy between Goguryeo and Baekje to overthrow the Silla regime and kill all the Kim family, she might have been planning to pass the throne to Kim Chunqiu. In that case, Kim Bo-min would be the crown prince of Silla, and the next King of Silla.
Both Kim Chunqiu and his son were capable of leading Silla to survive under the strong oppression of Goguryeo and Baekje.
She took over the Tang Dynasty and intervened, causing the situation to completely get out of control, forcing her to accept the internal conditions, causing the Jin royal family to lose Silla Kingdom Zuo.
In this regard, she also has some apologies to Jin Famin...
Jin Famin did not drink tea, put his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully: "Thank you aunt for your concern, it's okay. My child is coming to Chang'an with the Tang Dynasty Navy ship. The ship is very fast and stable." , it’s not difficult along the way.”
He didn't complain at all about Queen Seon Deok, he only had admiration in his heart.
Back then, Silla was intertwined with blood and fire, and a little carelessness would end with the overthrow of the country and the loss of the whole family. Under such dangerous circumstances, Queen Seondeok gave up her noble throne, willing to bear the infamy and decided to annex the Tang Dynasty, and then she How many women can lead their clan to move to Chang'an and live a life of dependence on others? How many women can have such courage?
None of this is Queen Seondeok's fault. She has done the best within her abilities and is the benefactor of the Jin family. She should not be subject to the criticism and curses that she should not have to bear.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and asked casually: "How is the situation in Liaodong?"
Jin Famin said: "When you set out, your Majesty was mobilizing troops to attack Anshi City. However, it rained heavily for several days in Liaodong at that time, and firearms were difficult to use. There must have been heavy casualties. After all, the most powerful Goguryeo troops were gathered in Anshi City. An elite army of 200,000 people is defending the city, and its combat effectiveness is not low.”
For Fang Jun, his feelings were a little tangled.
In fact, it was Bang Jun's iron fist that left the Kim royal family with no room for retreat, forcing Queen Seondeok to give up the throne and annex the entire family, ruining Silla Kingdom Jo.
But on the other hand, I am afraid that anyone who replaced Fang Jun would have made such a move. The fault was not the strength of the Tang people, but the ambition of Goguryeo to annex Silla, and even more the weakness of Silla.
Between countries, there is no such thing as justice or betrayal. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.
On the contrary, he also admired Fang Jun's talent and ability.
And looking at the look on my aunt's face, although she is committed to this person, she is charming, her eyes are watery, and there is no trace of reluctance, which shows that she must be willing in her heart. It is a blessing to be looked after by a powerful person like Fang Jun and avoid becoming a plaything for the rich and powerful...
Fang Jun nodded slightly and asked: "Is there anything unusual in Baekje?"
Because Jin Famin set out from Silla and passed through Liaodong on a naval ship, he should have some understanding of the situation in Baekje.
Although Baekje is not much older than Silla, this generation has produced a very remarkable figure, and that is King Buyeo Uiji of Baekje. This man was the son of the previous King of Baekje, Buyeo Chang. His reputation as a filial piety spread far and wide when he was young. He was known as the "Haidong Zengzi" and had great prestige in Baekje.
After taking over, he worked hard to strengthen Baekje, reform Baekje's aristocratic-centered political system, and strengthen the royal power. Externally, he actively used troops. He once led an army to personally conquer Silla, contacted Goguryeo for help, and attacked dozens of cities in Silla. The Silla army was forced to flee, and it was miserable.
This man can be regarded as a hero of the generation. At this moment, the Tang Dynasty is marching eastward to conquer Goguryeo. As an ally of Goguryeo, Baekje cannot do nothing and just wait for the Tang army to overthrow Goguryeo. At the next moment, the troops will reach Juba City and the whole country will be destroyed?
Jin Famin said: "Baekje has always looked up to Goguryeo. Now that the Tang Dynasty is attacking Goguryeo, how can Baekje stand by and watch? When I set off, Buyeo Yiji had already ordered his eldest son Buyeo Hyo to lead an army of 50,000 troops to the border between Baekje and Silla. To guard against Silla invaders, he himself led an army of 100,000 people to march north to Pingrang City to assist Goguryeo in resisting the Tang army's attack."
Fang Jun nodded slightly, his thick eyebrows furrowed.
Historically, the beginning of His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition was unstoppable. He was about to occupy the entire territory of Liaodong. He sent his troops south to attack Pingrang City and reached the heart of Goguryeo. However, he suffered heavy losses in Anshi City. Ke, he himself was wounded by an arrow, which led to long delays, and he had to hastily withdraw his troops, and the whole country's eastward expedition started but ended.
Now it seems that even if Ansi City can be conquered, there will still be a fierce battle in Pingrang City. Goguryeo's elite army plus Baekje's 100,000 troops are not in vain.
In fact, the country of Baekje has always been very mysterious due to the lack of historical data... (End of this chapter)
