"Unconditional surrender."
Jin Zhizhen's face turned a little blue, and she said in her heart that the Tang Dynasty was too bullying.
They forced the whole country of Silla to surrender unconditionally before even a fight.
How could you be such a bully?
You, the Tang Dynasty, couldn't do that either.
But I, Silla Country, what can you do this time?
Thinking of this, Jin Zhizhen said angrily: "Marshal Li, I have already told the cause of the matter.
It is not our country of Silla that caused all this.
It is Japan that has been blaming our country of Silla, trying to provoke a conflict between China and us."
The conflict between Silla Kingdom caused a war between us.
Why doesn’t Marshal believe me?
To force the whole country of Silla to surrender unconditionally, is the Celestial Empire a bit too bullying?
Or does the marshal believe that the Celestial Empire will win in this battle?
Think about the time when a war broke out between the Celestial Empire and our country, and the Celestial Empire failed to defeat our country of Silla.
The Luo Kingdom surrendered unconditionally.
Isn’t the Marshal a bit too wild?”
The generals and officials of the Tang Dynasty in the lobby suddenly became furious, and someone yelled: "Bold!"
Liu Donglin directly rebuked: "Jin Zhizhen, I have heard about the war between our Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Silla more than a hundred years ago.
Do you really think that your Kingdom of Silla can compete with the Tang Dynasty?
The main enemy is the Tubo Kingdom, not your Silla Kingdom.
The war with the Tubo Kingdom dragged on for a long time, and more troops were needed, so the imperial court had to transfer most of the troops from Baekje.
I am afraid that your Silla country has been destroyed long ago.
I actually naively thought that I, the Celestial Empire, could not take your new country.
What's going on with Luo Kingdom?
Since this is the case, what else is there to say?
Just start the fight."
Jin Zhizhen suppressed her anger, looked at Li Baozhen and asked: "Marshal Li, do Mr.
Liu's words mean the marshal's meaning?
Do they mean the imperial court's meaning?"
Li Baozhen said coldly: "Yes, we are here to fight this time, to continue the unfinished war a hundred years ago.
This time, the Tubo Kingdom has restrained our military strength.
Now the Tang Dynasty is at peace, and there is no opponent." , and has the backing of the powerful Western Qin State.
Unless the regent orders me to withdraw my troops, and unless your entire Silla Kingdom surrenders unconditionally, I will write my name upside down if I don't destroy your Silla Kingdom."
"Okay, okay," Jin Zhizhen laughed angrily, "Marshal Li is really brave.
I will convey your marshal's attitude to the Queen Mother and the King of our country, as well as the attitude of the heaven.
I ask Marshal Li and all the generals to wait for the good news and say goodbye." " Li Baozhen stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "I won't send it away."
After sending Jin Zhizhen away, an official in the lobby sighed: "There is no possibility of peace talks at all now."
Li Baozhen looked at the official who spoke, his eyes a little scary, "If you want peace talks, I won't lead the troops here.
Whoever wants to do this job will do it.
I won't do it.
This is the purpose of my coming."
Fight, win, and beat Silla until they cry for father and mother, and beat them until they destroy the country."
The generals were very excited after hearing these words, and they all clasped their fists and said: "I am willing to follow the commander to attack Jincheng and destroy Silla."
On August 13th, just one day later, Jin Jingxin, who was trapped in his residence, could no longer hold on.
He was worried about what agreement the Tang army had reached with Jin Zhizhen, and stopped the war.

In this way, his king Jin Ganyun could only He is absolutely unwilling to be a puppet king forever, and the day when he takes charge is far away.
His mission this time is to make the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stand on the side of Jin Qianyun, force the Queen Mother and her party to hand over power, and let Jin Qianyun was in charge.
But judging from the current situation, Jin Jingxin found that the Tang army was obviously unwilling to waste time here.
They wanted to fight and use force to force the people in power in Silla to surrender.
He wanted the Tang army to help Jin Ganyun from the Queen Mother's party.
He took back the power of pro-government in his hands, but he didn’t want to watch the Tang army rush in.
In Silla, the vitality of the Silla Kingdom was wounded, and the Tang Army asked him to draw the Silla Kingdom's military defense map and the information on the guards of each pass and city.
If he took out these things, the Silla Kingdom would be in trouble in front of the Tang Army.
Like a little girl without clothes, this made him feel conflicted.
Because of worry, Jin Jingxin, who had been unable to sleep all night, could no longer sit still.
He decided to test Han Zheng's reaction first, hoping to see from Han Zheng's words and deeds whether Jin Zhizhen had reached any agreement with Tang Jun, so He asked his entourage to find Han Zheng.
But it took a day before Han Zheng sent someone to invite him over.
That is, on the morning of August 14th, Jin Jingxin was invited to a house.
The two parties met with each other politely, and after they sat down, Han Zheng said in a nonchalant manner: "Yesterday, the people below told me that Mr.
Jin wanted to see me.
I was busy with things at the time, and I only remembered this morning.
Please ask me."
Lord Jin, please forgive me."
Han Zheng's attitude made Jin Jingxin's heart sink, which gave him a bad feeling.
Could it be that Tang Jun was making some secret agreement with Jin Zhizhen?
Did Jin Zhizhen promise any benefits to the Tang Dynasty?
Otherwise, Han Zheng would not be so contemptuous of Yu. he Once this idea appeared in Jin Jingxin's mind, it could never be erased.
It became stronger and stronger, which made Jin Jingxin's heart start to flutter.
He thought that if the Queen Mother's party reached some agreement with Datang, If the Tang army retreats, then the ruler of the country will have no hope at all.
Jin Jingxin thought for a while and asked: "Sir, did Jin Zhizhen come here because he left?"
Han Zheng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Not yet, what is Master Jin doing for this?"
"Have you sent someone to report to Chang'an about our Lord's apology and request?"
Han Zheng's words flashed: "Well, not yet.
You also know that this memorial is not easy to write.
I need time to think about it."
What kind of consideration?
For a civil servant with a Jinshi background, it is not difficult to write a memorial.
Han Zheng was obviously deliberately delaying time, leaving this time to negotiate with Jin Zhizhen in order to get more from the Queen Mother's party. benefit.
Han Zheng's evasive words made Jin Jingxin more and more convinced that the Tang army was negotiating some agreements with Jin Zhizhen.
He knew that he could not wait any longer, and immediately said: "Master Han, yesterday you didn't say that you wanted our country's military deployment plan and the defense of each pass and city.
Do you have any information about the generals?
I promise you that within two days I will give you a map of the deployment of troops, as well as information on the generals guarding each pass and city.
But if I hope that after I hand over these two things, the Celestial Empire can stop contact with the people of the Queen Mother’s Party and drive away Jin Zhizhen.
If any agreement is reached with the Queen Mother’s Party during this period, it will be invalidated.
If your Excellency can agree, I will Not only will I hand over these two things, I can also cooperate with the heavenly soldiers to attack.
Whatever you need me to do, I will never refuse as long as I can help."
Han Zheng obviously did not expect that Jin Jingxin would say these words so unreservedly.
He was stunned for a moment, pondered for a few seconds and then looked at Jin Jingxin and asked: "Master Jin, do you really mean what you said?"
Jin Jingxin raised his hand and said seriously: "If you tell a lie, I will die badly."
"Okay, on behalf of the imperial court, I promise you that as long as you draw a troop deployment map and information on the defense of each pass and city, and actively cooperate with our army's offensive to eradicate the power of the Queen Mother's party, we will immediately drive away Jin Zhizhen and abolish all ties with him.

After negotiating the terms, we will never break our promise until the power of the Queen Mother's party is eradicated and the ruler of your country is allowed to govern personally."
Jin Jingxin was overjoyed and said: "In that case, please ask someone to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
I will start now."
"Come here, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for Mr.
Jin."
After Han Zheng finished his instructions, he said to Jin Jingxin: "Master Jin, I am waiting for your good news."
"Yes, I will finish it as soon as possible."
After Han Zheng returned to the meeting hall, Li Baozhen asked: "How is the situation?"
Han Zheng smiled and said, "He agreed."
The soldiers spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Wugu City.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be late autumn.
The weather will slowly start to get colder.
I don’t know how long this battle will last.
Fortunately, the imperial court has been continuously transporting supplies from Youzhou to Liaodong. , including a large amount of grain, grass and cotton-padded clothes.
Since the Western Qin Dynasty planted cotton-padded clothes and fully used them After cotton cloth and cotton were made into winter clothes, cotton seeds were also spread to the Central Plains.
Cotton began to be widely planted in North China.
In recent years, there have been bumper harvests.
A large amount of cotton cloth was spun and made into cotton clothes.
Now Tang Jun's winter clothes have also been replaced by cotton clothes. , wearing it in the winter is much warmer than before.
On August 16, Li Baozhen just told the logistics quartermaster: "In the past few days, you have to send people to urge Youzhou to transport all the winter clothes as soon as possible.
Once the weather turns cold, this will come in handy.
Wait until the heavy snowfall."
It’s too late to close the road” The logistics quartermaster agreed: "Don't worry, Commander, I've already sent someone to urge you."
Li Baozhen nodded, and then Han Zheng came over with a roll of maps and said with a smile: "Commander, Jin Jingxin has found out all the maps and information about Silla generals."
"Oh, bring it here and let me take a look."
A large map was spread out on the table.
Li Baozhen said in surprise: "Jin Jingxin's painting skills are so good."
Han Zheng shook his head and smiled: "How could that be possible?
I had people redraw it according to his original drawings.
I also confirmed with him the locations and the number of garrison troops.
He should not dare to deceive us."
"With this military deployment map, Silla Kingdom has no secrets for us.
It's great."
Li Baozhen couldn't help but become happy, pointing to Hanzhou City on the map and said: "Hanzhou, this It’s our first offensive target.”
Han Zheng nodded and said: "I don't know where the South Route Army has arrived or whether it has landed."
Li Baozhen said: "According to time, the South Route Army has arrived at the seaside of the former Xiongjin Governor's Mansion.
They can take the sea route much faster than us.
However, if they encounter wind and waves, they may have to postpone their sailing and leave them alone.
They will beat them.
Yes, we will attack our intruder and summon all the generals above fifth rank to discuss the matter."
Soon, the generals who had been notified arrived one after another.
Li Baozhen ordered the generals: "Send the order to break camp and set off in five days.
The army will arrive in Pyongyang within six days."
Pyongyang during this period was actually abandoned, with only a small number of Tang troops stationed here.
Pyongyang was already the border area between the Tang troops and Silla
