Li Xiu kept talking about the grudges between Silla and Baekje, and also raised the great enemy of Goguryeo, the Central Plains dynasty. No matter how dull Gao Biaoren was, he felt that Li Xiu had something to say, and it must be related to Silla or Baekje. However, he couldn't understand Li Xiu's thoughts for a while.

Seeing Gao Biaoren not speaking, Li Xiu smiled again and said, "Enter Gao, I believe you have guessed it too. I mentioned Silla and Baekje many times in my words. In fact, compared to Japan, Silla and Baekje are more important to our Tang Dynasty. Do you know why?"

"This..." Gao Biaoren hesitated again when he heard Li Xiu's question, and then spoke tentatively, "Is it... it's because of Goguryeo?"

"That's right, it's because of Goguryeo!" Li Xiu slapped the table and said, "Now the Turks have been destroyed. It can be said that the most powerful enemy of our Tang Dynasty has fallen. However, in addition to the Turks, there are also Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Tubo and other second-point powerful enemies, especially Goguryeo. Yang Guang returned in the three campaigns of Goguryeo in the beginning. Countless good men from the Central Plains died in Liaodong. Moreover, Goguryeo is entrenched in the northeast, posed a huge threat to the Yanyun area. With my understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely send troops to solve this powerful enemy Goguryeo in the future!"

"So that's it. The prince-consort means that I can actually contact Silla or Baekje on this mission to lay the foundation for future dealing with Goguryeo?" Gao Biaoren said again at this time, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Yes, that's what it means. Japan is just a small country overseas and it's not enough to worry about it. In contrast, Goguryeo is the biggest threat to the northeast of our Tang Dynasty. Although Goguryeo has weakened in recent years, it still cannot be underestimated. In addition, Goguryeo is mountainous and the winter is extremely cold. It's not easy to deal with them. However, if we can win over Silla and Baekje, we can have two more helpers in the future!" Li Xiu nodded with a smile.

"But... But I heard that Silla had sent envoys a long time ago, as if it was because of Goguryeo. Is it necessary for me to contact Silla?" Gao Biaoren asked again in confusion. Silla's strength was much worse than Goguryeo, and he had been suppressed by Goguryeo over the years, so he had sent envoys to hug the thighs of the Tang Dynasty.

"The Silla people did send envoys to come, and they were determined to come forward to our Tang Dynasty so that Goguryeo would not dare to attack them. However, in the past, our Tang Dynasty focused on the Turks, so His Majesty never gave the Silla people a correct letter. Now that the Turks are newly destroyed, I, the Tang Dynasty, can free up my hands to deal with Goguryeo. This time you go to Japan to make an envoy, it is a good time to contact the Queen of Silla." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Silla is now in power. During the Tang Dynasty, Silla and other countries had little contact with the Central Plains, and their domestic economy and culture were very backward. In fact, like Japan, they learned a lot of Central Plains culture through exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, and then slowly got rid of their ignorance.

"So that's it. Thank you for your advice!" Gao Biaoren immediately said excitedly when he heard Li Xiu's words. Although his mission was mainly to Japan, it would be a great achievement if he could contact Baekje and Silla by the way.

In fact, the envoy was far away from the territory and had arbitrary power. For example, Wang Xuance, who destroyed one country more than ten years later, was the man who was the mission of this guy to go to Tianzhu, but unexpectedly, a coup occurred in Tianzhu. The new king of Tianzhu not only robbed Wang Xuance's mission, but even imprisoned him. Later, he and the deputy envoy finally escaped. Moreover, Wang Xuance was also a ruthless person. In anger, he contacted Tubo, Nepal and others, gathered thousands of cavalry and pushed them all the way, and destroyed Tianzhu. Afterwards, Li Shimin did not blame him, but also rewarded him greatly. This shows how powerful the envoy was.

"Enter Gao, don't rush to thank me. In fact, compared to Silla, I hope you can establish a good relationship with Baekje!" Li Xiu suddenly smiled again at this time, and his smile was a bit sinister no matter how he looked at it.

"Baoge?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Gao Biaoren couldn't help but show a surprised expression again. Among the three countries of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, Goguryeo is the strongest. Even if Silla and Baekje join forces, they can only barely fight against Goguryeo. Silla's strength is second, and the weakest one should be Baekje, otherwise they would not be defeated by the Silla people, and they were also seized large areas of territory. Therefore, Gao Biaoren didn't take Baekje to heart just now.

"Yes, it's Baekje. Although Baekje is the weakest among the three northeastern countries, Silla seems to be more suitable to win over, but Silla had formed an alliance with Baekje before, but in the end he was betrayed and stabbed Baekje in the back, which made Baekje lose a large area of ​​territory. So I am also worried now that if we destroy Goguryeo, will this Silla stab us in the back like we did when dealing with Baekje?" Li Xiu said very seriously at this time.

This is not an unfair worry. The Silla people are not good birds. Let's not talk about their descendants in later generations. Even the Tang Dynasty was deceived by Silla. For example, before destroying Goguryeo, Silla curled up with the Tang Dynasty in every way. Even their queen personally gave embroidery to Li Shimin and Li Zhi and dressed herself up like the maid of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, Silla slowly brought the power of the Tang Dynasty out of the Korean Peninsula. Although it was still in good terms with the Tang Dynasty, it was no longer controlled by the Tang Dynasty. It was equivalent to the Tang Dynasty sending troops to help them conquer the Korean Peninsula.

"What the prince-consort said makes sense. The Sillas are treacherous and are indeed not trustworthy. However, the Baekje people seem to have no relationship with our Tang Dynasty. How should I win over them?" Gao Biaoren couldn't help but show a worried expression when he spoke at the end. After all, Baekje was too unfamiliar to the Tang Dynasty.
