Chapter 1272 Allies are for betrayal

In response to the fact that the Tang army was marching south, the Zhenla court also got the news. They were really relieved. Although they understood the truth of the death of lips and teeth, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy the Piao Kingdom, they would have to do anything. It's a matter of two or three years or even longer.

Of course, this is for ordinary wars. If they had known how Li Xiang fought in recent years, perhaps they would not have such thoughts.

The Zhenla court also gathered all the ministers to see how to support the Pyu State. They knew that the strength of the Pyu State was not as strong as that of Zhenla. If they were to fight against the Tang Dynasty alone, it would be very difficult. I can't hold on for a year.

"The Tang army is now overwhelmingly powerful and has occupied several cities in the south of Wa City. However, the attack of the Tang army may have been stopped due to lack of troops. But I think this is a superficial phenomenon. They are very We will speed up the attack on the entire Piao Kingdom soon, if you have any opinions, please feel free to tell me."

King Ruan Minghao of Zhenla is sitting on his throne. At this moment, his face no longer has the original confidence. Originally, they said that they were not convinced by the Tang Dynasty and would teach the Han people in the territory some lessons. But when the Tang army really When they came here, these people didn't have the courage to fight against the Tang army, mainly because the gap between the two sides was too big.

"His Majesty the King, if my guess is correct, the Prime Minister of the Pyu Kingdom should be coming soon, within the next day or two at the latest. According to the original alliance between our two countries, any country will be invaded by the Great King. If the Tang Dynasty attacks, then another country will send all its troops to support..."

When he heard this, King Chenla had a headache. He was the one who made the final decision to sign the agreement. After all, he was also afraid that the Tang Dynasty would be attacking them, so he was afraid that Piao would not send anyone. Now he didn't expect The one attacking was Piao State. If he was asked to send out all the troops from across the country, he really had no idea.

"This is indeed what is written in the covenant, but if we dispatch the entire country's army, what if the Tang army attacks from the north again? We are also bordering the Tang Dynasty, and our army in the north is equally powerful. The Tang army The empire is so big that they can win two or even three wars at the same time.”

Ruan Minghao shook his head and said, after he said this, the people present also understood what His Highness the King meant, that is, we must be prepared to act shamelessly, and we must act openly and aboveboard.

Thinking about it, it's the same thing. If it is to protect our people and property, then all the soldiers from the whole country go to the front line, that is still justified. But in order to protect neighboring countries, and the relationship is not so good, neighboring countries, you let We send all the people there, is that possible?

What's more, if the Tang Dynasty attacks us, you won't be able to send all the soldiers from across the country. The covenant sounds very nice, but if it is actually implemented, how many people will implement it as written?

"His Highness is right, so I believe that when the Prime Minister of Piao Kingdom comes, we only need to let him take away the 30,000 people in the west. This will be considered as fulfilling our responsibility, not to mention the northern part of our country. There is also a long border, and if too many people leave, we won’t be able to handle it.”

"Master Naibu is right. If they are not satisfied, we can definitely create some friction in the north. Just think that we are also at war with the Tang army in the north. Anyway, Piao is in the middle of a war. The news from our side Not much is known.”

The ministers present all began to offer suggestions. The bottom line was one thing, that is, except for the 30,000 troops in the west, they could not let them take away anyone else.

In addition, some people have even suggested that we can surrender to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute, and propose a more favorable condition for surrender, such as increasing tribute.

But there is no need to send it over now. We will wait until the war is over. If Datang wins, then we have to raise the money even if we sell pants and shoes. This can ensure the security of our land.

But if the Tang Dynasty failed, then there would be no need to send this money. The Tang Dynasty had already been defeated, so why should we still pay tribute? You can even take this opportunity to capture several cities in the north.

Listening to the talk of his men, King Ruan Minghao of Chenla was also very satisfied. In his opinion, he was now in an invincible position. Regardless of whether the Tang army won or failed, we here already have a way to deal with it. Policy.

In this case, the Prime Minister of Piao State came to the royal city of Zhenla. This old guy came here on a fast horse without any rest at all on the way.

I originally wanted to meet with King Chenla as soon as possible, but who knew that King Chenla felt cold and appointed some senior officials from Chenla to receive him.

This made Prime Minister Pyo feel that something was wrong, but he still endured his temper, proposed an alliance between the two countries during the formal talks, and asked Chenla to send troops to support the operation in accordance with the alliance.

The final result is naturally impossible. Chenla only promised to send 30,000 troops from the border area. Of course, what they said was very beautiful. These 30,000 troops are only the first batch to pass, and there will be a second batch soon. In the third batch, no mention was made of where the subsequent troops would be mobilized or when they would cross the border.

Prime Minister Milduo of Pyo is also an old man in the political arena. Of course he can understand this kind of diplomatic rhetoric. Originally, many people came to him to do things, but he was also like this. He would not give an accurate answer to the other party. .

At that time, he thought he was very wise, but now that he is being made things difficult by others, he no longer feels that it has anything to do with wisdom.

In desperation, Prime Minister Milduo could only ask again and again to see King Chenla. Only by explaining all this clearly to the king could he take away more troops. If there were only these 30,000 troops, they would be on the battlefield. It won't have much effect at all.

It is a pity that the King of Chenla just avoided seeing him, and on the second day after Prime Minister Milduo arrived, a report from the north of Chenla was also heard from the fast horse.

The Tang army in the north also began to attack Chenla. As soon as Prime Minister Mirzo heard this, he quickly took the king's gold medal command arrow and led the 30,000 troops in the west of Chenla back. If the Tang army attacked, , I’m afraid these 30,000 troops don’t even have it... (End of chapter)
