Chapter 741 Crisis and Opportunity Coexist
Jincheng is an ancient city.
If it were placed in future generations, it would definitely be a seven-star scenic spot.
You said there is no seven-star rating?
Just evaluate it.
Unfortunately, at this moment, inside the Jincheng Palace, Jin Shengman was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at all.
"Deman, Jin Yuxin has lost eight cities in a row. If this continues, in less than a month, Goguryeo's army will appear near Jincheng. Some well-informed nobles are already preparing to move."
"Sister, General Jin's military use is miraculous. Now he is leading 60% of our Silla troops to resist the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces at the border. Normally, it would be impossible for him to fail so quickly. I guess it's him.
We adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep into the country. Although our land area in Silla is not large, the area near the junction with Silla and Baekje is basically mountainous and there are not even decent roads. All it takes is a heavy rain.
Once you get down, the mountain road will become muddy, and then the people of Goguryeo and Baekje will have a headache."
Kinderman obviously has great confidence in Jin Yuxin and feels that there is no need to worry about Jin Cheng's comfort in the short term.
Of course, this confidence is based on the fact that she has received news that the Tang Army navy has appeared in the Datong River.
Although the message delivered by Donghai Fishery was very simple, it did not introduce too much about the size of the army or the war between the two sides.
But as long as she knew that Tang Jun had actually sent troops as promised, that was enough.
As long as Silla can sustain the initial attack, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed sooner or later.
Given the logistical supply capabilities of the Goguryeo and Baekje people, once something unexpected happens, chaos will inevitably occur.
"I hope it's really like what you said, otherwise I will be a sinner of Silla."
The three countries on the peninsula have been in a standalone situation for a year or two no longer.
Although Goguryeo has always had the advantage, both Silla and Baekje have a large population, and at a critical moment, they can muster an army of 200,000.
Unless Goguryeo really planned to risk losing both sides, it would still not be that easy to conquer Silla.
Countless conflicts in the past have also proven this.
But if this rule is broken in his own hands now, Jin Shengman feels that he will die.
"Puff puff!"
Just when Kinderman was about to continue to comfort Jin Shengman, a homing pigeon fell from the sky and landed on Kinderman's shoulder.
These carrier pigeons were used by people from Donghai Fisheries, well, to be precise, people from the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of Prince Chu's Mansion to deliver messages to Kinderman.
This is how Kinderman was told about the news of Tang Dynasty sending troops.
"God will not destroy me, Silla!"
Kinderman quickly untied a note from the pigeon's leg, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Could it be that the Tang army has defeated Goguryeo?" Jin Shengman saw the smile on Kinderman's face and couldn't help but ask.
"It can't be so fast." Then, Jin Shengman muttered to himself again.
"Sister, this news has nothing to do with the Tang Army, but I think it is no less important than the Tang Army sending troops."
Kinderman did not directly say the content on the note, but smiled and handed it to Jin Shengman, asking her to read it for herself.
"ah?"
As soon as he took the note and glanced at it, Jin Shengman couldn't help but exclaimed.
"That Gao Huanquan is not dead? Didn't it mean that Yeon Gaesumun led troops into the Pyongyang Royal Palace and killed Gao Jianwu and many other descendants of the Gao family dynasty? How could he let go of the prince Gao Huanquan?"
"Sister, the key point! You have to understand the key point!"
Kinderman couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Sure enough, God helped me! That Gao Huanquan appeared in the south of Seoul. He got an army from nowhere and actually captured Suwon City and several nearby cities. He is now heading towards Seoul.
Move. This news is really as important as the Tang Dynasty sending troops."
Jin Shengman finally had a smile on his face.
The depression caused by losing cities one after another was completely gone.
"The defenders of Seoul have all been mobilized to attack us. Gao Huanquan really chose a good place to start the uprising. Sister, look, within a few days, there will definitely be news that Seoul has been captured. By then, there will definitely be news
This caused a huge commotion within Goguryeo; I want to see if Quan Wanxin can continue to attack our city with such vigor." A smile also appeared on Kinderman's face.
If Li Kuan were here, he probably couldn't help but admire: What a beautiful sister.
"As one of the three capitals of Goguryeo, Seoul's influence is naturally extraordinary. If Gao Huanquan was just making small fuss before this, then once Seoul is captured, the situation will be completely different. Gao Huanquan can even directly
He made Seoul the capital of the country, proclaimed himself king, and officially raised the banner to fight against Yeon Gaesumun."
Jin Shengman was analyzing the situation in Goguryeo and came to the map to think about the next step.
"Yes, even though Yeon Gaesumun has controlled the power of Goguryeo, it is impossible to say that there is no one who opposes him in the country. If these people see that Gao Huanquan is expected to regain the throne of Goguryeo, they will have to offer sacrifices one after another
My own strength? Sister, do you think we should send a message to General Jin Yuxin and ask him to delay the retreat of the Goguryeo army and give Gao Huanquan more time to perform?"
Although Kinderman did not have a good impression of Gao Huanquan, he also hoped that Gao Huanquan could make more noise in Goguryeo.
It would be a real pity if they were destroyed by Quan Wanxin who came back from the border just after occupying Seoul.
"You can harass the Goguryeo people appropriately, but you don't need to attack with all your strength. Now that the Tang Dynasty has sent troops and Gao Huanquan has started another uprising, the situation we in Silla face is no longer the same. Crisis is a crisis. If there is no crisis, there will be no opportunity."
Jin Shengman seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned red.
"Sister, when the Tang Dynasty sends troops to Goguryeo, Quan Wanxin will leave our Silla sooner or later. Whether he is arranged to attack Gao Huanquan or resist the Tang Dynasty, it will create an emptiness in the rear of Goguryeo. At that time...our opportunity will come
.”
As soon as Kinderman finished speaking, Jin Shengman couldn't help but glance at her.
My cousin really understands me and thinks of me completely.
For so many years, it was Goguryeo and Baekje that bullied Silla. Now the situation has changed, and it is time for Silla to bully Goguryeo.
If we can seize this opportunity and directly destroy Goguryeo, then Silla is expected to become the most powerful country on the peninsula and even complete the unification of the peninsula.
"Deman, find a way to contact the people in Donghai Fishery and see if you can purchase another batch of weapons. Money is not an issue!"
It was rare that Donghai Fishery was willing to sell weapons to Silla in the past two years. Jin Shengman felt that this opportunity could not be wasted.
