    Luo Shixin arranged for the general manager of all roads to return to the court, called Liu Rengui, and asked him to inform King Jin Baijing of Silla that he was ready to leave. When he left, he stopped him again and said: "Dingfang and His Royal Highness are on the military strategy.  Impeccable, but one of them has little contact with many things in politics, and the other, as a royal relative, does not have a thorough understanding. @As for the affairs of Silla's allies, after I leave, you still need to weigh them.  "Relationship." Liu Rengui bowed and said: "Rengui has been entrusted with important tasks, and he will not dare to slack off in any way. Rengui will treat the matter of Silla carefully and will not fall into the power of the Tang Dynasty.  It won't be offended." Luo Shixin nodded with confidence and let Liu Rengui go.  Luo Shi still felt a little guilty about plotting against Silla. After all, the relationship between the two parties was that of friendly forces.  Silla played an extremely important role in the overall campaign. If they had not withstood the coalition forces of Yamato and Baekje, the Tang army's invasion of Goguryeo might not have been so smooth.  In order to resist the coalition forces of Yamato and Baekje, Silla did pay a lot, there is no doubt about this.  But the ownership of the Haidong Peninsula involves the key to the overall situation. Based on Silla's current relationship with the Tang Dynasty, if Silla gets most of the Haidong Peninsula, it will become the second Goguryeo, even more difficult to deal with than Goguryeo.  Because Datang is currently getting along so well with Silla, Datang has no reason to be an enemy of Silla, and Silla can absorb the cultural knowledge of Datang to its heart's content, gradually grow, and become a giant standing on the Haidong Peninsula.  There are no permanent allies in the world, only permanent interests.  No matter how harmonious Silla and Tang Dynasty are, one day they will diverge from each other.  Haidong Peninsula is located in the northeast of China.  It was located at the rear of the Tang Dynasty, which was developing towards the west.  Once Silla went against the Tang Dynasty, it would threaten the Tang Dynasty's rear.  In history, it was not without reason that Yang Jian and Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo.  If you want to develop to the west, you must have a stable rear area.  That¡¯s why it¡¯s calculated in the long run.  The Tang Dynasty must seize major control of the Haidong Peninsula.  Of course, directly destroying Silla is a matter of once and for all, but things in the world are not arbitrary.  Although the winner is king and history is recorded by the victor, even the victor must abide by certain rules of the game.  Silla was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in resisting the Great War and Baekje.  If the Tang Dynasty turned back and dealt with Silla, with the example of Silla, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to make any international allies in the future.  If the Tang Dynasty wants to become a truly powerful country and truly number one, it cannot rest on its laurels.  Must go out into the world.  In addition to strength, going out into the world also requires a little bit of credibility.  After all, the exchanges between countries include war, trade, mutual assistance, and a series of diplomacy. No one wants to have an ally who stabs them in the back.  Therefore, this matter in Silla is difficult to deal with For the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Shixin had no choice but to set a trap for Silla without conscience.  In view of Silla's contribution to the Tang Dynasty's pacification of Haidong, Luo Shixin returned Silla's Yangju, Kangju, and Sangju that had been invaded by Yamato and Baekje to Silla, and gave Silla the opportunity to conquer Baekje.  Economic territory opportunities.  On the surface, it seems to be the most benevolent, but in fact, with the help of Yamato, Silla's final strength was weakened.  With the troops and horses that Silla currently has in hand.  Self-protection is not enough and we need to rely on the protection of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to compete with the Tang Dynasty for territory.  The biggest winner in this battle is naturally Datang. Silla suffered heavy losses, although it did not lose an inch of land or gain an inch of land. It was miserable People's hearts are unpredictable.  Luo Shixin was now unable to determine whether Silla had any complaints or dissatisfaction, so he specifically asked Liu Rengui to pay more attention and handle it properly.  It took three days to prepare.  Luo Shixin ordered the class teacher.  As soon as the victorious army entered the territory of Youzhou, it was immediately greeted with cheers by the people The biggest reason for the sharp decline in population in the late Sui Dynasty was the Grand Canal and the three expeditions to Goguryeo.  Among them, Youzhou serves as the first front headquarters, and the situation at the beginning was that every household wore filial piety.  The crying was endless and miserable.  Now Luo Shixin leads the army to destroy Jingguan.  The destruction of Goguryeo avenged their shame, and every household shed tears of gratitude.  It was also here that he received news and information about the victory of his mentor Li Jing's Western Route Army, and of course he also heard about Hou Junji's performance.  Luo Shixin had no strange emotions about this, everything was taken for granted.  Needless to say, Li Jing's military ability was also matched by sage-level figures such as Sun Wu and Han Xin.  As for Hou Junji, regardless of the small prejudice against him, his military level is still very impressive.  It is not surprising to achieve such results.  As soon as the army left Youzhou, Luo Shixin was received by officials from the Ministry of Rites and asked to march concurrently to join forces with Li Jing on the west road.  Luo Shixin, who had two armies on the east and west routes, had to prepare naval vessels and set out for the expedition in January after Li Jing. In the January after Li Jing and others won the final victory, Luo Shixin also achieved success immediately.  What they consume?The times are almost identical.  There was not much difference between them. For convenience and to save money, the court decided that the two armies would receive the ceremony together and celebrate together.  Therefore, officials from the Ministry of Rites were specially dispatched to slow down Li Jing's party, and they also asked Luo Shixin to speed up their march, so that they could meet at the meeting point.  It can also be seen that the current economy of Datang has indeed been greatly affected by the two-front war.  The imperial court tried every means to save money in order to maintain the country's economic operation.  Luo Shixin also showed great cooperation in this regard. Every penny saved in this country is a penny, so there is no need to worry about it.  Li Jing and Luo Shixin are both contemporary famous generals. Leading the march is the basis of army unification. Both of them control it like fire and innocence.  Within the agreed time, they met at the south gate of Chang'an City within a quarter of an hour.  The master and apprentice smiled at each other and rode side by side to the outskirts of Chang'an.  Hou Junji, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, Gao Zengsheng, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Zhenzhou, Cheng Mingzhen and other generals followed.  Arriving at the outskirts of Chang'an, looking from a distance, I saw flags everywhere and a grand scale.  The official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of contact said: "Your Majesty is at the front to welcome you on your triumphant return." Li Jing, Luo Shixin and the generals behind him were moved one after another.  The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not tell them this in advance, and they were all extremely shocked: it was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that the king personally went out to the outskirts of the city to greet the triumphal heroes.  Even if Li Shimin captured two kings in one battle in the past, he would never have such glory in the Central Plains.  Everyone quickly dismounted their horses and walked on foot.  Stopping the soldiers and horses behind them, dozens of generals stepped forward.  Come to the nearest place.  Li Shimin was leading the civil and military officials to welcome him head-on.  "It's been a long time since I last saw him, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is in high spirits.  He is much thinner than before: Compared with Luo Shixin and others fighting on the front line, the pressure on him as an emperor is not small.  Li Jing and Luo Shixin led the generals forward to salute: "Li Jing" "Luo Shixin" "Take all the generals under your command to pay homage to Your Majesty" Li Shimin quickly stepped forward, helped Li Jing up and said: "I love you Nan Dingjing.  Yang, Qing Dynasty in the north, conquered the wilderness in the west, and won all the battles with great success, making our Tang Dynasty emperor more powerful than anyone in ancient times. How could Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo in ancient times be able to match it? " Li Jing hurriedly said that he didn't dare!  Then Li Shimin helped Luo Shixin up, put his hands on his shoulders and said: "I am less than thirty years old. I went on an expedition of thousands of miles, destroyed the three kingdoms and captured the three kings, did things that others could not imagine, and walked the road that others have not walked. I am all.  I don¡¯t know how to praise you, but I can only say that the Tang Dynasty is lucky to have you." Luo Shixin also said: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!" Li Shimin pulled Li Jing and Luo Shixin and said loudly to the generals behind them: "You guys, please support me in the Tang Dynasty.  We have worked hard to promote our country's prestige. On behalf of the Tang Dynasty, on behalf of all the people of the Tang Dynasty, I congratulate you on your victory. "It is customary to welcome the victorious army.  It's a routine. No matter how desperate Luo Shixin is to return home, he can only go through this scene patiently.  Li Shimin showed that he was well prepared and spoke various passionate words with ease, stirring up the atmosphere.  When planning to return to Chang'an.  Li Shimin took the hands of Li Jing and Luo Shixin respectively and said: "The two chief managers will get on the bus with me and accept the cheers of the people" After saying that, without waiting for Li Jing and Luo Shixin to refuse, he pulled them into his car.  One on the left and one on the right sat beside him, entering the city with the honor guard.  The moment you enter Chang'an City.  Luo Shixin saw his wife and children on the tower entered the palace and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.  Dedicate prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and reward them based on their merits Li Jing has already made great achievements, and this time he has achieved such great achievements. There is no doubt that he will make further progress and become the first person to become a general or a prime minister. He is honored as the right servant of the minister.  She, ranked among the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.  The same is true for Luo Shixin. His original position as General of the Auxiliary State was once again promoted, and he was officially awarded the title of General of Hussars. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was also promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War, taking charge of all affairs.  After this battle, the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that the surrounding foreign tribes followed the actions of the northern tribes, respected Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.  With the power gained from this battle, the Tang Dynasty controlled the Western Regions almost effortlessly, and the Silk Road was able to flow unimpeded.  Although the two-front war shook the economic vitality of the Tang Dynasty, it also hurt the bones and muscles.  In the next five years, the Tang Dynasty did not use a single soldier, but the power of the Tang Dynasty was fully replenished. Forty or five dollars per pound of rice, people were left open for several months, horses and cattle were wild, and people walked dozens of miles.  Without food, the people's livelihoods were at a loss. Millions of barbarians from all over the world surrendered, and the world was under great rule.  Luo Shixin, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, knows it best. In the Tang Dynasty, due to the popularization of the new steel-making method, the weapons in the hands of soldiers have been replaced by all-steel, and firearms have gradually become more sophisticated.He has over a million horses under his control, and his military strength is so powerful that only the big food countries in the West can fight in the world After Li Jing became prime minister, he was deeply afraid of being satisfied and retired with contentment, although he did not fade out.  Vision, but act wisely and protect yourself.  Luo Shixin is just the opposite. He does not care about his official position and title. He still hangs out in the court, acts according to his temper, and says what he wants.  At the same time, he is not greedy for power, does not value power, and does not take power to heart. Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he never gets involved in military power. He only promotes useful people and does not cultivate confidants.  Because of this, despite his high position and great achievements, he still has no doubts about his ruler and his ministers.  The emergence of Luo Shixin promoted the process of history, allowing Datang to stand in the world decades ahead of schedule History has opened a new chapter because of his appearance The future of Datang is also full of infinite possibilities (Complete book  ) Having finished this book, when I finished writing the three words of this book, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
