Chapter 895
The Goguryeo army invaded Silla, and the attacks Silla retreated step by step. The news that Silla had to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty for help quickly spread.
Cheng Yaojin and other military generals who were close to Su Cheng couldn't help but grinned. What does this mean?
This shows that Su Cheng's news was correct. Goguryeo did mobilize troops, but it was mobilizing troops to attack Silla.
Anyway, Su Cheng never said that Goguryeo was attacking the Tang Dynasty, so we can't blame Su Cheng.
Since Su Cheng knew about Goguryeo's military mobilization, is there any mistake in telling the emperor to serve as a reminder?
Nothing wrong at all!
Therefore, it is not valid for the Censors to impeach Su Cheng.
Although Goguryeo was mobilizing troops to attack Silla, Su Cheng's reminder was not considered a meritorious, but it was not considered a past.
Su Cheng has no mistakes, it depends on how those censors end!
However, censors will not be punished for their words, and even if the censors make unreasonable remarks, the emperor will not be punished for this.
So they felt a little regretful, but when they thought that Wei Zheng had a bet with Su Cheng, they couldn't help but gloat.
Wei Zheng and Su Cheng bet that if they lose, Wei Zheng would go to Su Cheng's mansion to apologize.
Although Su Cheng was already a Duke of the State, he was still a junior. Wei Zheng was respected in the court, but he wanted to go to Su Cheng's mansion to apologize.
Tsk, if you think about it, you will find this drama beautiful and enjoyable.
But what excited them the most was the influence of Goguryeo on the morning of Silla Army.
Now that Silla is coming to ask for help, what will His Majesty do?
Let Goguryeo annex Silla?
Or send troops to intervene?
Although people in the world are looking forward to peace in the world, as a general, he will inevitably yearn for war. After all, the general will take the merits from the horse!
The civil servants were a little surprised when they heard the news. Goguryeo actually dispatched troops, but they just went to fight Silla.
Now that Silla has sent envoys to seek help, they can no longer write a letter to impeach Su Cheng.
But they didn't think they had done anything wrong. The Censor was just a rumor, but if they were wrong, they would be wrong!
Besides, they didn’t think they were wrong. Just in the situation last year, who didn’t think that Su Cheng’s information was wrong?
Who would have thought that Gao Jianwu was crazy and sent him to attack Silla?
Who would have thought that Silla was so unstoppable that he was beaten back and had to come to Datang for help?
Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard the news. In the past two days, the censor discussed continuing to impeach Su Cheng, but he actually did not get involved.
Because he felt that Su Cheng was not a person who kept his word. Su Cheng had a talented person and a proud person.
So he did not urge Su Cheng to complete the bet, but he did not expect that he would wait for such news.
Since Goguryeo really sent troops, although it was not to attack the Tang Dynasty, it also means that he lost the bet.
No one expected that Goguryeo would actually use troops to Silla, and it was not a small dispute that actually fought Silla to come to the Tang Dynasty for help in a hurry.
Wei Zheng sat in front of him with a serious face, but he was not solemn because he lost the bet.
In his opinion, since he lost, it was because he had blamed Su Cheng wrongly, so it would be nothing to apologize to Su Cheng.
And if he loses, it means no war will happen, so he expects to lose by betting on his own.
After all, it’s just a crime, which is much better than countless casualties in war!
However, when he thought of Silla coming to Datang for help, his mood became heavier.
He was not worried about how many people died in Silla, he was worried about the impact of this war.
When Silla came to the Tang Dynasty for help, would the emperor send troops to Liaodong?
It’s not impossible. After all, if Goguryeo annexed Silla, its strength will inevitably increase greatly, which may have an adverse impact on the Tang Dynasty.
However, sending troops to Liaodong is not a trivial matter.
The three Eastern Expeditions of the Sui Dynasty sent out all one million troops, but they were futile, and the people were exhausted and their wealth was damaged.
So from the point of view, he was unwilling to send troops to the east!
Because in his opinion, the Eastern Expedition is a quagmire, and once it gets stuck, it will be troublesome.
Now the Tang Dynasty has created a prosperous era, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace, which is even more powerful in the Western Regions. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a great situation was ruined by the Eastern Expedition?
If Goguryeo annexed Silla, it would certainly have an adverse impact on the Tang Dynasty. However, compared to being deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Eastern Expedition, which one has a greater adverse impact?
Of course, the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong is even more harmful!
Just as Wei Zheng was smiling like this, Ma Zhou came.
"Do you know that the Silla Envoy came to Chang'an for help?" Ma Zhou asked.
Wei Zheng nodded with a serious expression and said, "I already know!"
Ma Zhou sighed, "I didn't expect that since Goguryeo is so bold, he dared to send troops to attack Silla. The Queen of Silla actually sent envoys to ask for help. It can be seen that Goguryeo wanted to destroy Silla in one battle!"
Wei Zheng nodded slightly and said, "This matter is extraordinary!"
Ma Zhou wanted to speak and said, "Since Goguryeo sent troops to attack Silla, the bet between Lord Rong and Duke Rong..."
Wei Zheng said frankly: "Since I lost, I will naturally go to Sujiazhuang to take the blame and be willing to accept the loss by betting. This is nothing. Su Cheng did not go astray, but I am very happy!"
"Now Silla's envoy comes to ask for help is the top priority!"
Ma Zhou pondered: "The Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, Goguryeo is the most powerful. Baekje and Silla should join forces to fight against Goguryeo! How could Baekje sit and watch Silla be destroyed by Goguryeo? Don't you hear the truth that your lips are lost and your teeth are cold?"
Wei Zheng said: "The truth is this, I am afraid that someone will not be able to see clearly! People are the most likely to be blinded by interests, and I am afraid that Baekje will have the idea of taking advantage of the situation and robbing!"
Ma Zhou shook his head slightly and said, "Take a robbery? Even if Baekje can take advantage of the situation, he can only drink some soup. Goguryeo is the most powerful and eats meat again. How can Baekje compete with Goguryeo?"
"So, if you come to the Tang Dynasty for help, it is better to go to Baekje to ask for help. The Tang Dynasty is beyond the reach!"
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "I am afraid if I am afraid. Your Majesty will have the idea of the Eastern Expedition!"
Eastern Expedition?
Ma Zhou's face changed drastically after hearing this. He was born in poverty, so he was most deeply moved by the suffering caused by the former Sui Eastern Expedition.
It was such a day of dire straits! I don’t know how many families were destroyed and the three Eastern Expeditions were destroyed. Liaodong was full of bones!
Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "How could Your Majesty launch an Eastern Expedition from the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty?"
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "It's not that there is no possibility. Now our dynasty is strong and our troops are strong, and it has destroyed the Eastern Turks and is so powerful that it is so powerful that His Majesty is arrogant and arrogant."
"Now that Silla has sent someone to ask for help, Your Majesty may want to fight eastward due to the reputation of Tian Khan!"
