Chapter 745 Tribute
In early August, the autumn was already in the morning. The cool breeze was blowing, and the city walls were full of blood, which made the nose pungent.
Not far away, the huge red sunset was wandering in the sky, and the fire clouds in the sky seemed as bright red as blood, which made people feel touching.
Li Zhiyuan stood like this on the wall, wearing a robe. Although he was strong, he was still uncomfortable by the cold wind.
"This ghost place is just three minutes later, and it's almost dark. Why do you stay for so long to sleep?"
He said cursingly, Li Zhiyuan turned his head and went down the city wall. On the narrow street, some minced meat and blood could still be seen. He didn't care. He didn't even look at the houses with closed doors and windows, and went straight back to the city lord's mansion.
From May and June, he began to test from Anbian Prefecture, first moved the capital to the Theorem City, and then sent spies to patrol and inquire.
Immediately, after receiving assistance from Jinsan and Jeju Island, at the end of July, he led 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to attack Rubin's mansion in one go.
The people of Bohai have lived in the city for many years and have long been used to defending the city, so this time it is more difficult than seizing Anbian Mansion. It took several days to fight and fight to barely win.
Therefore, there were about a thousand soldiers who were killed and injured, so the soldiers were exhausted and could no longer march.
Therefore, although Li Zhiyuan was eager to win over Shu and wanted to take down Longquan Mansion in one fell swoop and destroy the Bohai Kingdom, he had the will but lacked strength.
"The military envoy, Shaofu Temple has sent an order, asking us to stop the attack!" The document next to him quickly took the letters from behind and reported.
"Even if I don't write, I can't attack, I'm short of troops!"
Li Zhiyuan sighed and took the letter and saw that the seal was right. In addition to the order to stop the march, he also asked him to build a city, and in a peninsula harbor, he had his name called Vladivostok.
"What the hell is Shaofu Temple doing?" Li Zhiyuan was quite puzzled: "The ready-made Theorem and Rubin Mansion are not used, and they also spend a lot of effort to build a city. I really don't understand!"
"As for the Bohai Kingdom to pay tribute, it is probably more likely!"
If these orders had not been sent by Shaofu Temple and had the emperor seal stamped, he would have been cursing for a long time. He would have built a city in a strange place with extremely bad consequences. How could you know there was water and fields there, otherwise you would have been sitting there and eating up the mountains.
However, there are still advantages, at least they can operate a lot of food by relying on the sea.
"Send someone to find it according to this territory, and we will have to move there in the future!"
Li Zhiyuan shook his head. Although the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he dared not hate Shaofu Temple and the emperor. After all, the Hei Shui Protectorate still has to rely on Jinshan and Jeju to provide food for support!
"The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, asked for his visit!" At this time, his personal soldiers suddenly came to report.
"Let him come in-" It was really coming to the door, Li Zhiyuan said quickly.
Then, a middle-aged man wearing fur clothes and long hair scattered over came over, emitting a smell of sheep, holding his left hand in his chest, bent down and saluted: "Sun Shen, the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, has seen Governor Li!"
"You admit your mistake. Someone is not the governor, but just a military envoy!" Li Zhiyuan waved his hand and said casually: "I don't know if the envoy is here, what's the important matter?"
"A certain king sent me to ask why your country occupied our territory for no reason. Is this going to start a war?"
"Although the Bohai Kingdom is small, it has a population of millions. Although the soldiers are weak, it has 300,000. If the war really starts, the Bohai Kingdom will definitely fight at all!"
The Bohai Special Envoy's tone was tough and he was not at all inferior. He just looked at Li Zhiyuan blankly and sighed, waiting for his words.
Li Zhiyuan suddenly laughed and said, "There is no reason that there are 300,000 soldiers in your country, but most of them are in the areas of Fuyu Mansion, Changling Mansion, and Yalu Mansion. If the troops are transferred to the east, I am afraid that the Khitans will wake up from their dreams."
The envoy's eyes stagnated, but he was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
"Our Tang Dynasty came this time because the Dashi Wei invited him to restore his country. He was unwilling to be an enemy of your country, and he was even more ambitious to destroy the Bohai Kingdom!"
Li Zhiyuan said seriously: "The war between the two countries is purely a misunderstanding!"
"Why should the general care about the treason of Dashi Wei sells the treason?" The envoy immediately reacted and further said: "As long as the general withdraws from the three prefectures, the Bohai Kingdom is willing to devote all the national treasury and redeem the three prefectures, and will never be stingy with gold, silver and jewelry!"
"The three palaces were exchanged for blood from our soldiers. How can we give it to you?"
"Then the general still has to use troops?"
"Of course, you have to use it. As long as the imperial order is still there, you can't stop it!"
"How can we withdraw?"
The envoy's face was a little panicked. After all, the Tang army was too aggressive. Since the restoration of the country, the Bohai Kingdom has not used troops for more than ten years. Although it has not been as peaceful as a civilian and military service, it has been abandoned too much.
The route of the Bin Mansion is only more than 200 miles away from Longquan Mansion. If you ride a horse, in just a few days, the Tang army stationed and led the Bin Mansion was a huge threat to the Bohai Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan smiled in his heart.
He said in a difficult manner: "The north is hard and cold, and the war is hard, and I am unwilling to have another dispute, nor do I want to point to Longquan Mansion. However, when the emperor was in a slight state, he met the Dashi Wei and had a good personal relationship. He insisted on his own way, but he had no choice but to obey!"
"but……"
"But what?" The envoy got into the trap, curiously in his heart, and then asked.
"However, there is no way. Although it is impossible to withdraw from the three prefectures, there is a way to stop marching!"
Li Zhiyuan said softly, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Sun Chan quickly clapped his hands, and saw several wooden boxes being carried in. When he opened it, he saw a golden light shining and full of gold and silver.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyuan smiled and looked salivating in an instant.
Bohai Kingdom, Shangjing, Longquan Prefecture.
"In other words, as long as we surrender and pay tribute, the Tang people will no longer send troops, and will even be willing to demolish Lubin City and no longer enter Longquan Mansion?"
Lie Wanhua sat on the dragon chaise, wearing a short jacket, her old body shrank into a ball, her face full of wrinkles, and her face was sick.
After the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, the prince Da Guangxian succeeded to the throne in the Yalu Mansion in Xijing. However, his younger brother, Da Guangyi, also became king in Longquan Mansion. For a time, the two kings in the old land of the Bohai Sea were established together.
The Lie clan of Nanhai Prefecture joined forces with Da Guangyi to attack Da Guangxian and forced him to lead tens of thousands of people to take refuge in Goryeo. The Lie clan supported Da Guangyi as king, and the Bohai Kingdom was resurrected.
However, why did the Lie clan be willing to surrender and rebel again, kill Da Guangyi and establish the Anding Kingdom, but the world still calls it the Bohai Kingdom.
"That's true. The words of the Tang people did not have the intention to destroy our country, and they were even unwilling to occupy our country's territory. As long as our country paid tribute, they were even willing to help us fight against the Khitans!"
