The so-called "Tang-Luo Allied Forces" in history actually played a very useless role in it.
When the Tang army charged into battle, Silla followed behind to collect the results of the battle and plunder the officials, warehouses and people.
The only contribution of the Silla Kingdom to the Tang Army was to help transport grain and grass, and to increase the number of people and build momentum, which made people feel a sense of awe towards the Tang Army that "there are many brothers who come out to hang out."
So the question is, the Tang army knew that the Silla army was so arrogant, why didn't they kick them and go it alone?
The answer is, you can’t do it alone.
On the Haidong Peninsula, after all, the Tang army was an outsider, and Silla was a local snake. If outsiders wanted to occupy territory on the peninsula, in addition to killing the original owner of the territory, they also had to have a good relationship with their neighbors, otherwise it would be easy to provoke their neighbors. Neighbors backlash.
The alliance between Datang and Silla, apart from the successive heads of the Silla Kingdom kneeling and licking the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and licking the Emperor of Tang Dynasty out of his feelings, the remaining reason was profit.
What are the common interests of Tang and Luo?
Goguryeo in the north.
Goguryeo and Silla have always been at odds with each other. Goguryeo has united with Baekje to attack Silla many times. Tang Dynasty intervened in the situation on the Haidong Peninsula as the suzerain state. Not expand?
So Datang and Silla were like the encounter between A Qing and A Lian, without the need of Granny Wang to pimp them. The two countries hit it off immediately and formed an alliance. There was a negative distance, a positive distance and a negative distance... and they were in contact.
The alliance between the two countries was not only the battle to destroy the Baekje Kingdom a few years ago. This time the Tang Dynasty used its entire nation to conquer Goguryeo, and the two countries of Tang and Luo were allied again.
This will be the battlefield where the Tang and Luo coalition forces launch an attack on the south of Goguryeo.
Walking out from the port, the Li family members had already set up a temporary tent outside the port when Li Qinzai got off the ship to greet Sun Renshi and others.
Li Qinzai and Sun Renshi walked side by side, but Jin Yuxin behind him had a frosty face and stared at Li Qinzai's back with malicious eyes.
Li Qinzai's ignorance of him just now was a great shame and humiliation. Jin Yuxin had been domineering in Silla Kingdom for many years, how could he endure such humiliation?
Li Qinzai walked in front and asked Sun Renshi: "Grandpa Sun, where does this guy named Jin Yuxin come from? He shamed me when we first met him. Have I ever offended him?"
Sun Renshi snorted and said: "This man is a powerful official of the Silla Kingdom. The current leader of the Silla Kingdom, Jin Famin, is his nephew. In the first year of Longshuo, he was awarded the title of 'Shang Da' by Jin Famin..."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "What kind of official position is this? It's so unpleasant."
"It is indeed unpleasant to hear, but it is the highest official position in the Silla Kingdom, equivalent to the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he also holds the military power of the Silla Kingdom. In this Tang-Luo alliance, he is the commander-in-chief of the Silla Army. This person's power in the Silla Kingdom can be said to be lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people."
Li Qinzai nodded: "No wonder he is so domineering. Maybe he thinks he is the prime minister of Silla Kingdom, so I should salute him first, right?"
Master Sun Ren snorted coldly: "This country is small, but its people are inexplicably arrogant for some reason. After Jin Yuxin led the Silla army into Xiongjin Road, he had many conflicts with our Tang Dynasty soldiers."
"And he allowed the Silla army to plunder the Baekje survivors and raid the local gentry and landlords. Because of this, the Baekje survivors have resisted many times, but fortunately they were all suppressed."
Li Qinzai's eyes grew colder: "It's okay not to want such a coalition. Now that I'm here, I'm the only commander in the entire southern part of the peninsula. He'd better not get into my hands..."
Sun Renshi sneered: "Kim Yushin also did one more thing. After he led his army into Ungjin, he secretly ordered the Silla army to move the original border marker between Baekje and Silla more than ten miles to the west, and quietly expanded it. The territory of Silla Kingdom, ha!"
Li Qinzai was stunned: "This kind of despicable thing was actually done by the prime minister of a country?"
"Yes, it was the prime minister of a country who did it. This is the virtue of the people of this country." Sun Renshi said with a look of disgust.
Li Qinzai quickly glanced back, and Jin Yuxin followed far behind with a gloomy expression. Their eyes happened to meet, and Jin Yuxin quickly looked away.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just let him move the boundary monument. After Goguryeo is destroyed, the next one will be the Silla Kingdom. From now on, they will not need the boundary monument, not even the name of the country."
Master Sun Ren was startled, then he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Just as I wanted, all the troops used in the southern part of the peninsula will be under your command, including me, and they will obey the orders of General Li without any hesitation."
The issue of military command authority was not to be polite. Li Qinzai immediately bowed his hand to Master Sun Ren and said with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Sun, for your support. I will not be humble."
Master Sun Ren said solemnly: "Public and private should be kept separate, as it should be."
…………
Outside Xiongjin Port is a piece of flat land, which was opened up by the Tang army mainly for hoarding supplies. Now that Li Qinzai's troops have arrived, it is just used for setting up camp.
When Li Qinzai and others arrived at the camp, the soldiers of the Tang army were setting up tents and transporting luggage.
The military tent has been set up a long time ago. Since it is a temporary camp and we have to set off to the Governor's Mansion of Xiongjin Road tomorrow, the military tent is relatively simple.
Li Qinzai and everyone entered the commander's tent, and everyone bowed to Li Qinzai again.
Jin Yuxin mingled in the crowd, with a gloomy face and unwillingness to salute hastily, and then sat down with a golden sword.
After Li Qinzai met everyone with a smile and was about to say a few official polite words, he suddenly saw the curtain of the handsome tent opened and an armored general in his thirties walked in.
As soon as the general stepped inside, the light in the tent dimmed, and his whole body blocked all the light. He was a strong man with a messy beard on his face. His appearance and facial features... I won't mention it. Barely a person.
This man entered the account and was about to salute Li Qinzai when he heard Jin Yuxin shout: "Li Shuai gathered generals, you are just a surrendered general of Baekje, what qualifications do you have to enter the account? Get out!"
After the words fell, the burly general who entered the tent showed a look of humiliation, but he swallowed his anger and did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly clasped his fists towards Li Qinzai before exiting the commander's tent.
Li Qinzai glanced at Jin Yuxin with cold eyes, and suddenly stopped the general and said: "Wait a minute, this is my commander's tent. The commander's tent only listens to my orders. You will go out when I tell you to. I didn't." If you make a sound, you will stay in the tent for me, do you understand?"
The burly general was stunned, and his expression suddenly became hesitant.
Li Qinzai's words were obviously meant for the general, but in fact he was trying to undermine Jin Yuxin.
After all, Jin Yuxin is the prime minister of a country, how can he not understand? After Li Qinzai finished speaking, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he sat there with a livid face.
Li Qinzai ignored Jin Yuxin. When they met for the first time today, he tolerated Jin Yuxin again and again. After all, the two countries were in an alliance, so it would be too rude to fall out just after they met.
Pointing to the burly general who had just entered the tent, Li Qinzai asked: "What's your name?"
The burly general bowed and clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice in blunt Guanzhong dialect: "General Baekje, with long black teeth, pays homage to Commander Li."
