Hearing the words of the white-haired old man, Su Wen Gaiyuan also frowned. Only then did he feel that the King of Gaoguli was a hot potato. Not only was there no benefit to him taking over this position, but he was also full of fire. He was needed. To destroy.
Compared with Gao Jianwu, he was too aggrieved to be the king of Gaogouli. It would be better to let him lead his troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield and fight with the Tang army. But if that was the case, how could he rescue the princess? He was afraid that the princess and he would still be in love through the palace wall.
Perhaps this is because every gain must come with a loss.
Thinking of this, Su Wen Gaiyuan raised his head and said, "I wonder if Mr. Shang has any good ideas?"
"Your Majesty, I think Pyongyang needs to be defended, but you are not the one to defend it. You can send a general to guard Pyongyang and hold off the Tang army. Your Majesty will go to the sea in the east and temporarily go to the islands in the east to take shelter until the Tang army withdraws and then come back. I think the Tang army cannot withstand the severe cold here, and since this place is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, the gains of the Tang army outweigh the losses of occupying this place, and I'm afraid they will evacuate soon!" Old Man Shang said eloquently.
"What you said makes sense, but we want to withdraw from the sea. Where did the ship come from? The news we got a few days ago is that the entire sea has now been besieged by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, and most of our ships have been How can we evacuate what they sunk?" Su Wen Gaiyuan asked rhetorically.
"Has your Majesty forgotten that we have a dock in the southeast? There are many ships parked there. You just need to board the ship from there and leave!" Shang Lao responded.
"Yes, I remembered what you said. There is also a fleet of ships there, which are used for doing business with the Tang Dynasty. After the feud with the Tang Dynasty, they have been docked in that dock. At this time, it is When we use that ship." Su Wen Gaiyuan couldn't help but nodded.
"That's how we'll do it, but we have to keep it secret and not be discovered by the Tang army, otherwise we will fall short. Do you understand?" Su Wen Gaiyuan looked around at everyone and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the ministers agreed. This matter was not only related to Su Wen Gaiyuan, but also related to their vital interests. Naturally, they took it seriously. As for what some people thought, it was unknown.
"By the way, have the people sent to Silla and Baekje come back? What did they say? Have they sent troops to help?" Suwen Gaeyuan asked.
"Your Majesty, the people sent to Silla and Baekje have returned, but..." The person who answered was a little unable to continue.
"Say, it's already this time, what else can't be said? No matter how bad the situation is, can it be worse than the Tang army's soldiers pressing down on the situation?" Su Wen Gaiyuan explained, but he looked at it quite openly, which made the person who answered a little bit. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silla, Baekje's response is that they will not send troops to help us. Moreover, they have contacted the Tang army and are preparing to attack us with three forces!"
"According to our inquiries and reports from the border, Silla and Baekje have indeed begun to deploy troops and generals, as if they are going to invade our country, Goguryeo!"
These words made everyone frown. It was said that the Tang army's occupation of Pyongyang was only temporary, but it was different for Silla and Baekje. They sent troops obviously to get a share of the Tang army's conquest of them, or at least to occupy it. Some cities and land will be said to be helping the Tang army, and the Tang army will not care about them.
Furthermore, if Pyongyang is occupied by these two countries, they may have to stay overseas for the rest of their lives and not be able to return!
After all, the people of Silla and Baekje are in the land of Liaodong just like them, not to mention the severe cold. Therefore, the most dangerous ones are the close neighbors, not the Tang army.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I am afraid that the Tang army will not allow this. Silla and Baekje may have made a mistake this time!"
"This matter is still good for us. Once Silla and Baekje have the idea of invading Pyongyang, they will definitely be attacked by the Tang army. Once the three parties fight, Silla and Baekje will never be the opponents of the Tang army. When they are disabled and injured, and the Tang army withdraws, then we can reap the benefits, and maybe even take Silla and Baekje into our pockets." The white-haired old man told Su Wengai Yuan analyzed.
"What you said makes sense. Since Silla and Baekje don't know how to praise, then we don't need to tell them that the Tang army has powerful weapons. Let them face the Tang army by themselves!" Su Wen Gaiyuan showed a trace of cruelty. smile.
