Chapter 268 I also want to learn a foreign language (ask for a monthly ticket)
The coup just now happened suddenly, and Cui Xiuye has just figured out the situation.
If you ask him whether Cui Xiuye is afraid or not, the answer is definitely no, and he is even a little excited.
It would be great if the rebels killed me. I am here today, and tomorrow Silla will be divided into nine counties. I can still have a glorious chapter in history books...
When he thought of this, Cui Xiuye felt the blood rushing to his body.
This is a good thing!
He did not take Kim Yu-shin's soft words seriously.
"The King of Silla was personally appointed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Without the will of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to hurt her?" Cui Xiuye stood tall and snorted coldly, "How dare you, the traitors, try to hurt the King of Silla? Are you trying to kill the king and establish your own throne?"
"No, that's not the case." Jin Bidan explained quickly: "Angel, we are here only to kill the traitor Jin Chunqiu and clear the court, not to hurt the king..."
"Now that the king is being held hostage by that traitor, we should go and rescue him!" Kim Yu-shin said righteously.
"If I hadn't just witnessed this man shooting a crossbow at the King of Silla, I would have been misled by you!" Cui Xiuye pointed his spear at Lian Zong, "Do you think I'm blind?"
"This..." Kim Bitam and Kim Yu-shin looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Angel, I want to shoot Jin Chunqiu, but the crossbow missed the target," Lian Zong explained.
After hearing this, Cui Xiuye flicked his sleeves.
Before he could say anything, someone came in from outside and said, "General, Jin Chunqiu has already left Yuecheng with the king and is heading north..."
I head north, leaving the season with you...
Jin Yuxin asked in disbelief, "What?! You said the king...you said Jin Chunqiu took the king hostage and left the royal city?"
He subconsciously wanted to say Kim Seung-man, but in front of the angel Choi Soo-ye, he didn't dare to tell the truth.
We are all decent people, so there must always be a reason to make excuses.
"Someone come!" Jin Yuxin waved his hand and said, "Take the angel down to rest and take good care of him. There must be no mistakes!"
"Rebel! Traitor! Evil villain!" Cui Xiuye was still jumping and cursing like Ma Chao, allowing the Silla guards to take him away.
Inside the palace, several people looked at each other.
No one expected that in this situation where it was impossible to escape, Jin Shengman and Jin Chunqiu could actually find a way to survive.
What they certainly didn't know was that the previous king, Kim Guk-fan, had dug a tunnel in the palace, and Kim Seung-man escaped through this tunnel.
This way of escaping from Lao Baijing was certainly unexpected.
Caught off guard, Jinbitan was a little at a loss.
"Send an order, even if we have to search the mountains and seas, we must find the whereabouts of Jin Chunqiu and the king!" Jin Yuxin waved his arm: "The traitor Jin Chunqiu has held the king hostage, we must not let him escape!"
When explaining to the people below, of course you cannot say that it was regicide, you must give a suitable reason.
After hearing this, the soldier lowered his head and responded, then quickly retreated.
"If Jin Chunqiu and the others really get away, things will be bad." Jin Bitan said solemnly.
"If that's the case, you and I must be prepared to be involved in a long-term civil war." Jin Yuxin snorted and glared at Lian Zong: "Be prepared for both situations. On the one hand, send people to pursue, and on the other hand, integrate all the forces that can be integrated in the country."
"Then...what about the Tang envoys?" asked Jinbitan.
"Tang envoy?" Jin Yuxin sighed, "Let's escort him out of the country with courtesy. If we let him go back intact, the Tang Dynasty might still consider us respectful and not intervene for the time being. If we really harm the Tang envoy, within a month, hundreds of thousands of troops will be stationed at the border. By then, even if you and I ask for mercy, the lightest punishment we will get is the three tribes of the Yi people!"
"This is the only way." Jinbitan sighed.
"Hey!" Lian Zong pointed his finger and asked in a smart way, "I have an idea, I wonder if it will work."
"You say." Jinbitan glanced at him.
"How about we bribe the Tang envoy and ask him to speak well of us when he returns, so that the Tang army won't come so quickly." Lian Zong said, "Then we will send an envoy to Japan and unite with Xueyantuo to resist the Tang Dynasty together. In this way, we will definitely be able to compete with the Tang Dynasty!"
"Bad idea!" Jin Yuxin snorted, "Look at the Tang envoy's performance today. He is just a desperate criminal. Want to bribe him? Haha... No way!"
"That may not be the case." Jinbitan suddenly said, "I heard that the Tang envoy had a fierce battle with three beautiful maids at the inn yesterday. Perhaps we can please him and give him a hundred beauties..."
"Hmm?" Kim Yu-shin raised an eyebrow.
Don't say it, don't say it!
This method seems to really work.
This is not something that can be boasted about. What Mr. Zhao said is right. This hero may not love money, but he may very likely love beautiful women!
"Okay, let's do it!" Kim Yu-shin nodded heavily.
Soon, a day and a half passed.
Just as they expected, there was no trace of Jin Chunqiu and Jin Shengman.
However, those who returned from the north also brought back good news and bad news.
The good news is, we saw both of them.
The bad news is, in Andong Protectorate.
On Kim Yu-shin's side, while integrating the forces at hand, he was also collecting beauties.
One hundred and twenty beautiful virgin maids were gathered from various families and brought to the inn.
I have to say, they are all at least six points, completely natural with no traces of beautification.
When they arrived at the inn, Jin Bitan knocked on Cui Xiuye's door.
Cui Xiuye has been very happy these past two days. He has completely conquered the hearts of the three Silla maids with his charisma. Now he is like a fish in water.
I was so happy that I didn’t even miss Chang’an.
"It's Jin Jiang Shangde." Cui Xiuye frowned, but was still willing to call him Jin Shangde.
"I came here this time to apologize to Tianshi Cui." Jin Bitan greeted him with a smile and his attitude was very nice.
After all, one should not hit a smiling person, so Cui Xiuye nodded and said, "No problem."
"I offended the angel last time, so I was thinking about how to make amends to him. Fortunately, I have 120 beautiful maids at home, all of whom are virgins and all of them are pretty." Jin Bitan smiled and said, "The angel has traveled a lot and must be interested in the languages of different places. If he can learn Silla and Japanese with the help of a beautiful lady, wouldn't it be great?"
Look at what they said, it's so soothing.
How can this be considered a gift to a beautiful woman?
This is for my foreign language teacher!
This foreign language is good, we have to learn foreign languages, I also want to learn foreign languages.
Cui Xiuye just took a glance and found it boring.
Do you use this to test cadres?
Which cadre cannot withstand such a test!
"You mean, I should keep silent about the Silla coup after I return?" Cui Xiuye asked coldly. "No." Jin Bitan did not mention the coup at all: "As for the affairs of Silla, the angel can speak frankly. We have nothing to feel guilty about, so there is no need to hide anything."
As he spoke, he pointed at the group of maids.
"These maids are gifts of apology to the angels. After all, Lian Zong was rude the day before yesterday." Jin Bitan said with a smile.
Since Jinbitan said so, Cui Xiuye was a little tempted.
He had originally been thinking of getting some Silla maids back to give to His Highness or other colleagues, but after what happened the day before yesterday, he still thought he had to brag about it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it well. When you go out, you should always put safety first. If you refuse, who knows how suspicious they will be.
He would swallow the sugar coating and be done with it when he returned to make his report. Anyway, he had no intention of keeping these Silla maids for himself.
"If that's the case, I'll accept it." Cui Xiuye nodded and said, "I hope Mr. Jin can prepare a ship for me to go to Dengzhou."
"Of course." Jinbitan said quickly.
The Silla people did not act quickly and dragged on for almost half a month until Cui Xiuye became impatient and reluctantly let him go back.
It's just a waste of time.
At the same time, Silla envoys also arrived in Xueyantuo and Wa.
At this time, Xueyantuo's Yinan was almost unable to manage affairs and was hanging on for life, so all matters were handed over to his eldest son Bazhuo.
Today, Bazhuo is not only the regent, but is almost certain to be the next Khan.
However, if he wanted to obtain the throne of Khan, he had to wait for the conferment of the title by the Tang Dynasty.
But Ba Zhuo obviously didn't think so. As a player who was unwilling to accept the result, he always felt that the Xueyantuo warriors should not submit to the Tang Dynasty.
I, Xueyantuo, am the eagle of Mobei. How can I willingly become the lackey of the Tang Dynasty?
After the Silla envoy arrived at Xueyantuo, he talked to Bazhuo about Silla's policies and routes.
Hearing that Silla had been in civil strife and even had its Queen Kim Seung-man driven out of the country, Ba Zhuo slammed the table.
This... this is truly a godsend!
Ba Zhuo certainly knew that as the suzerain state, the Tang Dynasty would certainly not ignore what happened in Silla, and would definitely send troops to Liaodong to help the Queen of Silla.
Having said that, as the de facto Khan, Bazhuo still had some political acumen and did not speak too confidently. He just expressed his support for the actions of Jinbitan and others to purge the court.
But in his heart, Bazhuo has already started planning how to proceed with this first step.
He now knew the internal situation of Xueyantuo. If Yi Nan died, with Dadu's collusion, the Tang Dynasty might not issue the edict of enthronement to him so quickly.
He also controlled several powerful tribes. In addition to his direct descendants, there were several other tribes that did not obey him.
In Bazhuo's view, this is a godsend opportunity.
While the Tang Dynasty was helping the Queen of Silla to deal with the rebellious people in the country, Ba Zhuo could use external conflicts to divert internal conflicts and then completely bring other tribes under his control.
The first target he chose was the Turks.
It’s simple, the Turks are now a soft persimmon.
In addition to being a soft persimmon, the Turks also took in Datushe, which, in Bazhuo's eyes, was simply an excessive act.
Must hit hard!
However, the Turks are now a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. If we attack the Turks, the Tang Dynasty will definitely make decisions for them.
Well... in order to avoid some accidents, Ba Zhuo also felt that he should find some external help.
After much thought, he decided that the Huihe, Pugu, Khitan and other tribes were definitely not suitable for him to look for. After all, each of these tribes was more loyal than the other.
So……
A light bulb went off in his head. Yes, isn’t there also the Western Turks?
Ba Zhuo knew that in the 16th year of Zhenguan, the Western Turks had fought a battle with the Tang army in the Western Regions.
The Western Turks have never been very honest. Facing the powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty, they could not defeat it, but they were also unwilling to submit and be humble.
In this case, let's send an envoy to talk to them and try to get some support.
Bazhuo has always been a man of action. Once a plan is made, he will execute it immediately.
At this time, another wave of Silla envoys also arrived in Japan.
Today, Japan is still jointly ruled by Prince Naka no Oe and Soga no Iruka. After all, the losses in the naval battle were not small.
The Silla envoys explained the pros and cons to the Japanese court. In short, if one side is missing the other, the other side will suffer.
If Silla was annexed by the Tang Dynasty, the next one would be Japan.
The Tang Dynasty's ocean-going navigation capabilities are obvious to everyone. Whether it is Soga no Iruka or Prince Naka no Oe, they have never doubted the Tang Dynasty's ability to land in Japan.
The Tang Dynasty was like a nightmare that had always hung over Japan's head. They knew that they had offended the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know when the sword of Damocles would fall.
Now that the Silla envoy said this, the Japanese people immediately became worried.
After discussion, Japan also decided to send 50,000 troops across the sea to Silla to help the Silla opposition fight against the Tang Dynasty.
Fifty thousand people is not a small number for Japan today.
In fact, it is not small for Silla. After all, it will take a short time to raise an army of 50,000.
The shadow of war is looming over the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
There are changes in all directions, including Xueyantuo, Silla, and Japan. Now Xueyantuo wants to drag the Western Turks into the water.
The Tang Dynasty had just received an urgent report from the Andong Protectorate. On the day they received Queen Jin Shengman, Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui found out what had happened in Silla.
With the joint decision of the two, the Andong Protectorate raised its combat readiness to the first level, and the soldiers stationed in Gaizhou, Anzhou and other places in the rear were continuously advancing to the front line.
At the same time, the Andong Protectorate sent another letter to the Dengzhou Protectorate. This letter was addressed to Feng Qing, the chief officer of the Dengzhou Protectorate, and the general idea was about logistics.
Before leaving, Li Xiang gave them considerable autonomy in both places. If an emergency occurred, they did not have to wait for his reply first. Su, Liu and Feng could make decisions on the spot.
The most important urgent report and the express letter were sent to Chang'an City respectively.
The first urgent message was to the Ministry of War, informing the Ministry and the court that civil unrest had occurred in Silla and its queen was seeking asylum in the Andong Protectorate.
The second express letter was delivered to Li Xiang, which not only explained the above situation, but also reported to him the matter of asking for money from Dengzhou Grand Military Governor's Office.
After all, Li Xiang was not only the Protector-General of Andong, but also the Grand Commander of Dengzhou, and he was in charge of both places.
(Please give me some monthly tickets…so pitiful woo woo qwq)
