After Li Zhi forced the eldest grandson old fox to death, he really became the emperor, and he had a good time these days, and internally, after he forced the head of the Guanlong group, the eldest grandson old fox, he frequently made frequent moves, and promoted a large number of scholars from the Shandong gate valve and the Han clan into the court, on the other hand, he continued to suppress and divide the Guanlong group, well, there is also that he suppressed the peasant uprising led by Chen Shuozhen....... externally Li Zhi was a succession of battles in the northeast battlefield, some time ago, Goguryeo Da Mo Lizhi Yuan Gai Suwen sent his confidant Angu to lead the Goguryeo army and the Jin Ya soldiers to attack Li Zhi's subordinate tribe Khitan, and the governor of Songmo Prefecture Li Guge defeated them in Xincheng.Yuan Gai Suwen was not convinced, so he gathered Baekje and Jin Ya to invade Li Zhi's younger brother, the Silla Kingdom on the Korean Peninsula, the Silla queen Kim Seung-man sent an envoy to Chang'an for help, and Li Zhi ordered Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, to lead an army to attack Goguryeo.Cheng Mingzhen led the army to cross the Liaoshui, Goguryeo saw that Cheng Mingzhen's soldiers were few, so he opened the door to cross the Guiduanshui to meet the battle, Cheng Mingzhen led the army to attack, defeated the Goguryeo army, killed more than 1,000 people, and burned the outer cities and villages of the Goguryeo people.After that, Cheng Mingzhen joined up with Xue Rengui, the leading lieutenant of the right army, to lead the army to attack Chifeng Town, and easily took it down, beheading more than 400 people and capturing more than 100 people.Goguryeo Da Mo left Zhiyuan Gai Suwen to send his general Doufang Lou Shuai 30,000 to resist the Tang army's attack, but Xue Rengui lived up to expectations and killed Doufang Lou with an arrow, achieving a great victory in Chifeng Town.The Tang Army's successive battles and victories made the real speaker of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen, very worried, "Our Goguryeo is still a small country after all, and the difference between our national strength and the Tang Dynasty is too great, even if we can gather the strength of the three countries of the peninsula and the Japanese Kingdom, I am afraid that we will not be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty......
"This Da Mo Lizhi said to his sons."
Father, you are a famous general who is not inferior to Yizhi Wende, why are you so timid about Li Zhi'er??"
His eldest son, Yuan Nan, listened to his father's words and was quite unimpressed."
Yes, father, Li Zhi'er is greedy for Chang'an and doesn't dare to recruit in person......
If he dares to go on a personal expedition, we will definitely make him unable to get off the stage like his father......"
Yuan Nanjian, the second son of Yuan Gai Suwen, also said."
Father, the eldest brother and the second brother are right...... his third son, Won, also said, "Father, the child suggests, let's take Silla first, pull out the wedge that the Tang Dynasty inserts into the peninsula......"
"What the third brother said is very true, we can hide behind and let the Baekje people come forward ....."
Yuan Nanjian also said."
Yes, father, wait for Baekje and Silla to fight to the death, and we will have a fisherman to profit......
"Father, the child has heard that Li Zhi was discovered by the other party because he wanted to imprison his brother-in-law Li Lu, and Li Lu has now established himself as the emperor, father, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, why don't we send a messenger to contact Li Lu?"
”"Yuande, where did you get this news from, is it really reliable??"
Yuangai Suwen's eyes widened, he still knows a lot about Li Lu, Li Er's son-in-law, the Li family's loyal dog in the Northwest Desert, if Li Zhi really fell out with him, then it would definitely be good news for him."
Father, I met a few Sogdian merchants a few days ago, and from their mouths, I know that Li Lu has torn his face with Chang'an, he is the emperor in Broken Leaves, and Li Lu's ally in Chang'an, Changsun Wuji, has also been eradicated by Li Zhi......"
Yuan boy said with a smile, "Father, this is a good opportunity for us......"
"Oh?
Where are the Sogdian merchants?
For his father, he wants to meet them in person.......
"Yuan Gai Suwen's heart suddenly became hot, if Li Lu really fell out with Chang'an, then he would be able to form an alliance with Li Lu and deal with Li Zhi and Li Xiaojiu who was sitting in Chang'an."
Father, I have brought them here......
A few of them are outside the temple, waiting for your father's reception....."
Yuan boy said with a smile."
Very good, very good, Yuande, you are doing a good job....."
Yuangai Suwen patted Yuan's boy on the shoulder, "It's worthy of being my Yuangai Suwen's son....."
Seeing that his eldest brother was praised by his father, the brothers Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Nan had an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes, hey, let their eldest brother take the lead again.When a few merchants came in, Yuangai Suwen simply asked a few words, and then determined that Li Lu had fallen out with Chang'an, which made him very happy, after sending away a few Sogdian merchants, Yuangai Suwen immediately made up his mind, he wanted to send someone to break the leaves, ask to see Li Lu, and form an alliance with the other party to oppose Chang'an, thinking of this, he looked at his sons, "My father plans to send a messenger to Broken Leaves, who of your brothers is willing to relieve his father's worries?"
”"Father, I am willing to go to ......"
As the eldest son, the Yuan boy is naturally the one who should not give in."
Father, the eldest brother is the eldest son, how can there be a reason to send an envoy?
Or shall I go and break the leaves?
”Yuan Nanjian also showed no weakness."
Father, the eldest brother wants to assist the king and you in handling government affairs, the second brother is a general in the army, and he can't get out, according to what the child sees, it is better for me, an unofficial and light person...... to go" Yuan Nanchan also joined the ranks of competing envoys.Yuan Gai Suwen looked at the three sons here for the place of an envoy to fight for me, his eyes were full of smiles, his three sons are very promising, he knows that he has shared the responsibility for himself, poor Yuan Gai Suwen is very shrewd, to his own children, obviously for the heir The three sons are fighting there openly and secretly, but he stubbornly thinks that his three sons are very enterprising.......
Yuan Gai Suwen smiled, and then said, "Yuande and Yuancai, you two are in important positions and can't leave, I think it's better for Yuanluo to break the leaves......
"The Yuande in his words is the word of Yuan boy, Yuan is the word of Yuan Nanjian, and this Yuan Luo is the word of Yuan Boy.Hearing Yuan Gai Suwen's words, Yuan Nanchan raised his chin proudly, he was demonstrating to his two elder brothers, "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely persuade Li Lu to form an alliance with our Great Goguryeo......
"Father, Broken Leaves are more than 20,000 miles away from our Goguryeo, this time and again, I'm afraid it will take a year or two.....
The child suggested, we can't just pin our hopes on Li Lu, we still take Silla and Baekje as soon as possible, and open up the maritime connection with the Wa Kingdom is the most important thing... ..”
Yuan Nan Jian saw that he didn't have the qualifications to go to the broken leaves, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and he said to Yuan Gai Suwen."
Yes, father..... even if Li Lu is willing to form an alliance with us, but he is too far away from us......"
The Yuan boy also began to stick a knife in his back.Including Yuangai Suwen, the Lao Yuan family is a two-faced and capricious person, and Yuan Nan and Yuan Nanjian have taken this character to the extreme.The brothers' repetition did not cause Yuangai Suwen to be angry, but made him happy, "What your brothers said is reasonable, we have to win over Li Lu in the west, and we must also take Silla and Baekje in the east, as long as we can make the Great Goguryeo strong, we can make our Yuan family the real master of the world, and get the Gao family out of power as soon as possible, and I am willing to die for my father......"
It turns out that although this Yuangai Suwen killed Gao Jianwu more than ten years ago, he became the real master of Goguryeo, But he still wants to change the name of this big Mo Lizhi to the king or even the emperor of Goguryeo, I have to say, this guy's ambition is big enough.After making up his mind, on the one hand, he let his third son, Yuan Boy, prepare to send an envoy to Shaha, and on the other hand, he instigated the relationship between Baekje and Silla, secretly supporting Baekje to make a black hand against Silla, and the Baekje king Buyeo Yoshiki, who was confident of Goguryeo's support, began to become restless.
Buyeo Yoshiki immediately joined forces with Goguryeo and Yeonja to launch an attack on the Silla Kingdom, which had been following Chang'an with all its hearts.Because it was three to one, the Silla Kingdom was defeated step by step, and it didn't take long to lose more than 30 cities, Jin Chunqiu, who had just ascended the throne, was forced into a corner, there was really no way, he immediately wrote the table, and sent someone to Chang'an with the table, they went to ask the father of the Tang Dynasty to send troops.......
