In the palace hall, Li Jingduan was sitting under the throne. There was still no one sitting on the throne. He looked at the so-called special envoy from Silla and Baekje below with a smile on his lips.
"We already know your purpose of coming, you can go back!" Li Jing waved his hand.
The special envoys of the two countries naturally had translators with them, and they immediately translated Li Jing's words to the two of them.
When they heard that Li Jing asked them to go back, they couldn't help but wonder, what does going back mean? Did you agree to their request, or did you say you disagreed?
"Sir, did you agree with our opinion by letting us go back?" The Silla envoy asked immediately. Although the Baekje envoy did not speak, he also meant the same thing.
Li Jing chuckled lightly, and all the generals in the hall also laughed.
Seeing everyone laughing, the special envoys of the two countries were even more confused, wondering why they were laughing.
"I didn't say I agreed with you. I asked you to go back and tell the king of Silla and Baekje to surrender obediently. In this way, the people of your two countries can be protected from the flames of war, and they can also stay. A small life, when our army reaches your capital, even if you want to surrender, we will not accept it, but will massacre the city!" Li Jing couldn't help but raise his voice a lot at the end.
The translators couldn't help but widen their eyes when hearing these words.
The special envoys of the two countries scratched their heads and urged the translators to quickly tell them what Li Jing said.
The translator finally came to his senses and translated what Li Jing just said to the two of them.
When I heard Li Jing asking them to surrender, they would massacre the city if they didn't surrender. I really didn't expect that Li Jing actually didn't accept their surrender, but asked them to surrender.
Surrender and surrender are two different concepts. Surrender can also retain the title of the country and its own rights. It only needs to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.
But surrendering is different. They will have their national title revoked, while the prince will be escorted to Chang'an. They will live in Chang'an all their lives. Although they will keep their title, they will be no different from prisoners imprisoned in a cage.
Such conditions were naturally not what the two countries wanted to see, and it made the special envoy extremely angry. He immediately said: "Sir, can your decision represent the decision of Emperor Tang?"
"Do you really want to start a war with our two countries?"
Listening to the words of the Silla-Baekje envoy, the whole hall burst into laughter again. They seemed to have heard some ridiculous words.
Li Jing naturally also laughed. When they decided to launch an attack on Silla and Baekje, they had already sent a letter to Chang'an via flying pigeons. Such a thing must be done naturally. Of course, they did not wait for the necessary reply before starting the war.
After everyone thinks about it, His Majesty also wants to solve the Liaodong issue once and for all. Besides, capturing Gaoguli is a great achievement. It has fulfilled His Majesty's wish. How can His Majesty blame them for acting in advance? I'm afraid he will praise them. They did well and they did the right thing.
"I can answer you right now. Our Majesty supports this matter. If you continue to resist stubbornly, the fate of Gaoguli will be the fate of both of you. If you still don't understand, I don't mind sending your two heads. To Silla, the king of Baekje, I think they will understand what I mean!" Li Jing said with a sneer.
Such threats are nothing to him. None of you sitting here have come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. To scare them, this special envoy is not enough.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the special envoys from the two countries turned pale. How could they dare to stay here any longer? They hurriedly fled out without even saying hello.
Not running away? If they really were beheaded and sent to Silla and Baekje, they wouldn't cry to death. No, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the chance to cry, because they are already dead.
Seeing the embarrassed figures of the special envoys of the two countries escaping in a hurry, the palace hall burst into laughter again.
Threatening them is really ridiculous.
After the special envoys of the two countries left, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde also received orders from Li Jing, asking them to each bring an army and horses to support Niu Jinda and Qin Qiong, and they must quickly eat up the army currently stalemate with them.
Only in this way can we put some pressure on Silla and Baekje and show them their determination to destroy these two countries, otherwise they will think it is a joke.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde had been prepared long ago. After receiving the general's order, they set off with their troops and horses as soon as possible.
