Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Chapter 992 Quan Jiushan

August is the season with the most comfortable temperature in Goguryeo.

However, in the Goguryeo capital at that time, Quan Gaesomun, who was about to go north to confront King Lee II, became completely furious after learning that the Baekje capital was conquered by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and that Baekje King Buyeo Jang and his eldest son Buyeo Uija were killed by the enemy.

"boom!"

After reading the intelligence in his hand, Quan Gaisuwen couldn't help but pick up the paperweight on the desk and threw it at the door: "Li Kuan, that bastard...what on earth does he want to do?!"

The situation should have been very good at the moment. Even if Li Shimin led his army to attack, he was confident that he could withstand the opponent's offensive.

But right now...

But Baekje was left leaderless by that bastard Li Kuan...

"Lord Su Wen..." Quan Jiushan, as a "minister of the dragon" in a sense, spoke with a certain meaning at this time: "This...is not a bad thing, is it?"

"Isn't this a bad thing?" Quan Gaisuwen frowned upon hearing this: "Quan Jiushan, you have seen how powerful that villain was in front of the palace."

"Master Su Wen, let me sort it out for you." Quan Jiushan smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said calmly: "The King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty waited until Baekje destroyed Silla before he attacked the Baekje capital and killed the Baekje king and his son. Is that right?"

"..."Quan Gaisu Wen said nothing upon hearing this, but just nodded silently.

"In this case, it is obvious what the King of Chu is planning - he wants to swallow up Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla in one go, and the reason why he chooses to take action after Baekje has destroyed Silla is because he thinks this is the best time.

You don't have to bear any moral pressure and you can still reap the fruits with a clear conscience.

Then..." Quan Jiushan said this and met Quan Gaisuwen's gaze: "Why can't we continue to use this strategy?

Silla to the Tang Dynasty might be Baekje to Goguryeo - Li Kuan was able to use the other's strength to achieve his own goals, and conversely, didn't it also help us?

As long as we can withstand this wave of attacks, the Tang army will retreat when winter comes - and once the Tang army retreats, how can the King of Chu stay in the Baekje capital?

By then, all the mess will become meat stewed in the pot, but this time, no one will compete with us for it..."

“Hahahahahaha…” After listening to Quan Jiushan’s analysis, Quan Gaisuwen couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up: “Jiushan, awesome! I didn’t even think of this…”

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Suwen." Quan Jiushan bowed to Quan Gaisuwen, "But... right now we should send a secret letter to the generals of the garrison troops in various parts of Baekje, saying that whoever can capture Weili City will be supported to become the new king of Baekje."

"You want the only guys who will be able to resist us in the future to go to Weili City to fill up the moat now?" Quan Gaisuwen narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard this: "Yes, Quan Jiushan, I like you even more now."

"Lord Su Wen, I think you should make a decision now." Quan Jiushan didn't take Quan Gaisu Wen's words too seriously. He was more concerned about how to break the impasse: "At present, the army you can mobilize, apart from those stationed in various places, is about 140,000. In my opinion, you might as well lead these 140,000 people to attack Anshi City directly and defeat the Tang Emperor Li Shimin - you don't even need to defeat him, you just need to force him back to the Tang Dynasty, then our plan can be completed sooner."

"Quan Jiushan, according to your previous analysis, it seems that I don't need to go to the trouble of leading the army to Anshi City. I just need to defend it strictly and deploy more lines of defense behind Anshi City, isn't that enough?" Quan Gaisuwen frowned when he heard this: he suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Quan Jiushan.

"Lord Su Wen, you said before that the King of Chu, Li Kuan, is not an ordinary person. None of us knows what he will do next. If he stays in Weili City, that's fine. We can use the Baekje people to stop him. But what if... he abandons Weili City and goes straight north to Pyongyang?"

"..."After listening to Quan Jiushan's words, Quan Gaisuwen suddenly had a picture flash through his mind for some reason.

That was many years ago. When Li Kuan was still a young boy, he said to himself in the small courtyard of Honglu Temple: When it comes to heroes in the world today, there are only Brother Su Wen and Kuan Er!

Is it...

Is this fate?

Thinking of this, Quan Gaisuwen couldn't help but close his eyes.

After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Quan Gaisuwen opened his eyes again and made his own decision: "Starting tomorrow, I will lead the army north. Quan Jiushan, you will be responsible for staying behind."

"If I could have such a favor from Lord Su Wen, Jiu Shan would be willing to sacrifice his life for him, even if it meant death!"

-------------------------------------

Quan Gaisu Wen wants to go north, and the King of Chu also wants to go north.

But before heading north, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"So... Pyongyang City is another name for the capital of Goguryeo?" After repeatedly confirming on the map, His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to scratch his cheek: "Xuan Ce misled me..."

"Well..." Wang Xuance, who was standing by, sighed, "I will take the blame for this."

Who made him careless for a moment and forget that the King of Chu was a man? The maps that this old man had been looking at before were marked by the Tang Dynasty military, and the one given to His Royal Highness the King of Chu was the "Barbarian King Special Edition".

"Brother Kuan, this is the first time I've heard of this, too." As King Chu's top henchman, Li Huairen certainly couldn't just sit there and watch his boss suffer in embarrassment: "It's not your fault."

"Keep your voice down!" King Chu said angrily, "Is it glorious to make such a big mistake?"

"Your Highness, if you want to blame someone, blame Goguryeo!" Yuwen Qing always bursts out amazing wisdom at critical moments: "They themselves know what their capital is called, but they just want to disgust people by adding 'Chang'an', making the capital have two names now. It's really..."

"That makes sense!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu found that his moral level seemed to have improved recently, which made him a little ashamed, and he immediately prepared to correct it: "This kind of thing... should be blamed on the Goguryeo people! Damn it, the royal capital was not built well, but the name was quite thoughtful - this is purely to embarrass this king!"
