Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

It's not very far from the Queen's City. After riding horses from the port for two days, several generals rushed to the Queen's City. The news soon shocked the entire nobles of the Queen's City.

As the king of Queen's Kingdom, Ben Lishetai is close to 40 years old this year, but she never expected such drastic changes in middle age. When she got the news, her whole body was numb.

This... & how is this possible?As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is now?Datang's ships are constantly shuttling back and forth throughout the South China Sea, can the Queen Kingdom not know about it?And the continents opposite the Queen's Kingdom are already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, of course they know it too.

"Your Majesty, this is slander, and it is the excuse that Datang deliberately sought to occupy our land, and we cannot compromise." Below the court hall, a minister said indignantly.

"I agree. Look at this so-called edict. It's fine if it wasn't issued by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. Just because five people died, let us surrender the whole country? Let the Queen surrender? What do you want to do next? Directly annex us?" Another minister said angrily.

"As I said a few years ago, Datang's ambitions have been clearly revealed. Take a look at Xue Yantuo, Shiwei and other countries, which have been continuously annexed by Datang, and the islands and continents in Nanyang have also been planted by Datang. Flag."

"At that time, you said that as long as we sincerely follow Datang and be a vassal of Datang with peace of mind, we will not be in danger. Now?" A man in the costume of a general in the crowd also stood up.

Ben Lishetai listened silently, she might not know some words, but are these the key points now?

"Is there a possibility that the Ministry of Mang really did these things?" Another minister suddenly asked after being silent for a while.

His words made everyone in the hall quiet, but after the silence, the former minister jumped out and said, "Even if Mangbu really did this, so what? It is indeed attached to our Queen's Kingdom, but we have no way to manage them."

"That's right, so what if you actually did what you said. Then Datang sent troops to the Queen's Kingdom because of the Mangbu's attachment to our Queen's Kingdom, and also because of these five lives. The army overwhelmed the country and let us surrender. What can you do? What can we do?" The minister glanced at him lightly, and then said calmly.

Uh... all of a sudden, the whole court was quiet, and everyone was stunned. Yes, even if Datang really did it, so what?

"Right Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" Ben Lishetai took a deep breath and asked. The small countries around the Tang Dynasty almost followed the example of the Tang Dynasty to implement the system of three provinces and six departments. However, many countries do not need so many officials, so they do not need so many departments, and many structures are naturally simplified.

For example, in the Queen's Kingdom, there are left and right ministers, the two prime ministers are the highest officials, and there are other departments below to deal with the country's affairs.

"Your Majesty, now I don't think we should discuss these nonsense. Regardless of whether Datang wants to annex us, or whether it is because the Ministry of Mang did these things, it is useless to pursue these reasons. The point now is that Datang not only suppresses the border, but at least tens of thousands of elite troops have arrived to control our country's largest port."

"The other party not only controlled our port, but also asked Your Majesty to lead the whole country to surrender. That is to say, we must give the other party an explanation. Whether we like it or not, we have only two choices now. The first is war, and the second is to find a way to negotiate peace." The right minister said seriously.

The right minister's words made the other ministers also silent, because it seems that now... it seems that they only have this choice.

"My dear friends, what do you think? Is it war? Or peace talks." Ben Lishetai looked at them and asked.

When it comes to the war, everyone is silent, including the general who shouted fiercely before.Speaking of Queen’s Kingdom, there are 10,000+ soldiers in total. The problem is that these soldiers are spread all over the Queen’s Kingdom in all directions, and many soldiers themselves are just to make up the number.

If you simply count them as elite soldiers worthy of a battle, only [-] of them can be called an army.

But can [-] elites defeat Datang?

"If we have to go to war, we can choose to use mountains and other terrains to fight against the Great Tang. We don't have much experience with the mountains and forests of our Nanyang Great Tang, and they may not be able to adapt to the climate here. I think we still have the strength to fight." An old general in the crowd suddenly said something.

"There is no chance. Whether it is Linyi or Guangdong, there are also forests no less than ours, and there are also a large number of mountain people in those places. These mountain people can easily adapt to such jungle terrain."

"The most important thing is, if we retreat to the mountains, what should the other party do if they don't entangle us and go straight to our capital? Are we going to give up the capital?" Another general of about the same age shook his head.

"You two, is it possible that we don't have a chance?" the prime minister who spoke before asked.

"Yes, our chance is how determined Tang is." The old general who spoke later said lightly, "Of course, if Your Majesty is determined to fight, the old minister is willing to lead troops."

Seeing the different expressions on the faces of these ministers, Ben Lishetai was a little weak, "General Afei, please gather the national army as quickly as possible. We need to talk, but the troops that should be assembled must also be assembled." Ben Lishetai sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Who is willing to go to the port to talk to the general of Datang this time?" Ben Lishetai asked.

"Go, minister." The right minister who had just stood up said.

"Then trouble the Prime Minister."

When the meeting was held here in the Queen's Kingdom, thousands of miles north of the Queen's Kingdom, the army led by Hou Junji had already broken through to the main gathering place of Mangbu, but at this moment there were only [-] soldiers left by Hou Junji's side, and the remaining [-] troops were led by Zhang Liang to go straight to Wangbu.

Hou Junji's striker had already contacted a large tribe in Mangbu, but the so-called large tribe had no more than 3000 people.

And at the location of the main headquarters of the Mang tribe, tens of miles away, Mangchai, the leader of the Mang tribe, stood up with a shocked face: "What did you say? The army of the Tang Dynasty is coming?"

"Yes, leader, Datang's army has arrived in the area where Songbe is."

"Is Datang crazy? It's just killing the mountain people of a few of their tribes." Mang guessed that he was completely dumbfounded, and they really killed people!But Mangchai didn't know who killed Datang until after he killed someone, but he didn't care at all.

Because this piece of land, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, has belonged to their mountain people for all dynasties, and outsiders can't get in at all!
