"Bi Ji, what does the Tang Dynasty mean? Why did you give these Goguryeo people open-mouthed armor for no reason?" Queen Silla looked at the armor in front of her and her brows couldn't help but frowned into a small bump.

"It's actually very simple. These armors and weapons are a warning from the Tang Dynasty to us!" Yi Ji took a long breath at this time, as if trying to calm down his excitement.

"Warning? What does it mean?" Kim Yu-shin also frowned when he heard this.

"It's very simple. Didn't the person who reported the news just now say that the Tang Dynasty not only gave us these weapons and armor, but also gave us weapons and armor. But think about it, the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo's army and combined it with almost more than 200,000. The captured armor must be more than this in front of us, right?" Yi Ji said with a calm face at this time.

"What you mean is that the Tang army gave us a thousand pairs of armor and weapons, but more of them may be given to Baekje?" Kim Yu-sun also reacted at this time, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "The most expensive thing in the army is weapons and armor, especially for small countries like them. If they can have a large number of weapons and armor, they can even arm a huge army in a short period of time."

"I don't know how many weapons and armor the Tang Dynasty gave to Baekje, but it will definitely not be less than us. And I just said this is just a warning. If we don't agree with the Tang Dynasty's proposal, the Tang Dynasty can give the seized Goguryeo armor weapons to Baekje. After all, the Tang army is well-equipped, and they don't look down on these weapons and armor at all, but for us, they are all good supplies!" Yi Ji spoke again at this time, and at the end of his speech, the bitter smile on his face became stronger.

"I understand. For the Tang Dynasty, it is too easy to control the victory and defeat between us and Baekje. Today they can give Baekje weapons, tomorrow they can support other supplies, and even directly help them train their soldiers!" Kim Yu-shin also bitten at this time, but a humiliating expression appeared on his face. The Tang Dynasty used its power to suppress people, but they had no choice.

"Your Majesty, you have to make a decision on this matter early. The Tang Dynasty only gives us three days. If we don't give them a reply within three days, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty will really support Baekje." Yi Ji was very rational, and then turned to the silent Queen Silla.

"So what if I don't want to? The Tang Dynasty has made a decision for us. How could a small country like us disobey their orders?" The Queen of Silla said with a sad expression at this time, and her tone couldn't help but feel a little self-pity. She had tried every means to please the Tang Dynasty before, but she didn't expect that she would eventually change her result.

"In fact, the Tang Dynasty is already very kind. After all, they promised to use Goguryeo's land to make up for our losses. This is also very rare for a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty." Seeing the appearance of the Queen of Silla, Yi Ji also comforted him. In fact, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, if they threaten them with force, they may have to surrender in the end. After all, even the powerful Goguryeo was destroyed, and Silla might not have the power to fight back.

After hearing what Yi Ji said, the Queen of Silla finally felt better. Speaking of which, they were also very envious of the land of Goguryeo. However, with the tiger of the Tang Dynasty, they dared not act without any action. Now the Tang Dynasty has voluntarily agreed to compensate them, and now they can finally get some land of Goguryeo with righteousness.

Three days later, Li Shimin summoned the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje again to discuss matters. This time, the Queen of Silla also happily agreed to the Tang Dynasty's previous proposal. She also figured it out at this time that since she could not resist, it would be better to follow Li Shimin's wishes and win the favor of the Tang Dynasty.

Baekje King Fuyuzhang was also ecstatic. He did not do much in this battle, but he received support from the Tang Dynasty and took back the land occupied by Silla. This was something he dreamed of. In addition, through this incident, Fuyuzhang clearly realized the strength of the Tang Dynasty. What he had never been able to obtain in his life was solved by the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje had no objection, Li Shimin was also very happy and assigned to the officers, Ma Zhou, to stay on the spot. At the same time, the two countries also sent envoys to start negotiations in Pyongyang. After all, the delivery of land is not a simple matter, and the Tang Dynasty also needs detailed discussion on the land scope of Silla compensation, which will take time. It is estimated that it will be quite good to finish this matter in the next two years.

Mediation for Silla and Baekje was also the last thing Li Shimin stayed in Pyongyang, so he began to prepare for the return of the army. In fact, this matter was already being prepared. After all, the weather was getting colder and colder. Every day the army stationed here, it would consume a lot of supplies. In addition, the army had been on the battlefield for more than half a year, and the soldiers were homesick. Even if they won the battle, they wanted to go back early to reunite with their families.

It was also under this situation that Li Shimin quickly ordered the troops to return to the court, but there were 20,000 troops left to garrison in Pyongyang, and other important cities, such as Beisha City and Anshi City, also left to garrison troops. After all, the Tang Dynasty had just captured this place, so it would be impossible to suppress the army without the suppression of the army. After the spring of next year, officials will be sent to take over, and the number of troops will be gradually reduced.

In mid-November, Li Shimin's army finally began to evacuate from Pyongyang, but the weather was too cold at this time, and the road was full of ice and snow. If there was a big blizzard, it might be blocked on the road. Therefore, this time, Li Shimin did not take the land route, but went directly to the sea route. Fortunately, the sea water was not easy to freeze, so the port had not frozen yet, otherwise the ships would not be able to leave the sea.

The Dengzhou navy also organized a large number of ships. After Pyongyang joined the army, they directly transported them to a port near Cangzhou, then rushed to Cangzhou for a rest, and then passed Jizhou, Xingzhou and other places, and rushed to Chang'an in a mighty manner.

Just as Li Shimin's army rushed to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji also received the news that the army had returned to the court, which made him finally relieved. Then he came to the East Palace in person to see Li Chengqian and pass the good news to the other party. After all, after Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian was the prince's identity, and Changsun Wuji assisted him to avoid any mistakes.

"It's such a big deal for my father to come back, uncle, just do it. You don't have to come here to tell me in person!" What Changsun Wuji didn't expect was that Li Chengqian said very coldly at this time.

"What does the prince mean? Your Majesty's return to victory is naturally a great joy. At that time, the prince will need to arrange etiquette for greeting. How dare I make a decision?" Changsun Wuji was stunned at first, and then his face darkened. Li Shimin was not here during this period, and he and Li Chengqian were not happy. If it weren't for the great relationship between this matter today, he wouldn't even want to come to the East Palace.

"Uncle, you are just a matter of court affairs. I am just a nominal supervisor. When my uncle has arranged the greeting, I will naturally go out of the city to greet you in person." Li Chengqian said calmly again.

Changsun Wuji finally understood this. This was Li Chengqian expressing his dissatisfaction with him. After Li Shimin left, he was worried that Li Chengqian would not have enough experience, so he personally checked some important government affairs. Sometimes when Li Chengqian made a decision, he would reject it if he felt it was inappropriate, which made Li Chengqian resentful towards him.

"The prince is blaming me for my crime, but I have a clear conscience in doing things. If the prince has any dissatisfaction with me, I can wait for Your Majesty to come back and sue me in front of Your Majesty!" Although Changsun Wuji knew that Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with him, he did not give in at all. Instead, he said firmly again. After all, no matter how he said that, he was Li Chengqian's elder, so naturally he could not admit his mistake first, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but turn red, and a little annoyed flashed in his eyes. Then he shook his sleeves and said, "Uncle is so serious. I dare not say bad things about you in front of my father. It's just that it's unfair and free. Don't think that others don't know what you are thinking!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian turned around and limped away, not giving Changsun Wuji another chance to speak. Moreover, his last words were heartbroken, which made Changsun Wuji tremble with anger, and his face turned red and white. He was indeed a little in love with power, but this was the first time he was pointed out by a junior in person, and he didn't give him any face.

"Hmph, I am arrogant and do not listen to other people's persuasion, and my personality is becoming more and more strange. I want to see when you, the prince, can do it?" After a while, Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and whispered, then shook his sleeves and left the East Palace. He even made up his mind that he would never take the initiative to step into this place in the future.

Li Chengqian also returned to his bedroom angrily, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He originally asked him to supervise the country before leaving. He thought he could show his strength and let the people and civil and military officials show their talents, but he did not expect that Changsun Wuji controlled the power and handled important government affairs. Only some less important things were handed over to him. Sometimes he made instructions, but he might be beaten back by Changsun Wuji. Some important things were reported to Changsun Wuji first. If he wanted to know, he had to inquire from Changsun Wuji, which made him feel that the other party became more annoying.
