Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Wang Xuance noticed this at the beginning. Although Baekje was the target of the attack, Silla was not the same.

He heard Li Shen say more than once that he wanted to get rid of those three countries to avoid future troubles.

But after hearing King Ji tell the Silla envoys the details and key points of the plan, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel worried.

Did King Ji not consider this because he was young?

Because everyone was here just now, in order to maintain the majesty of King Ji, as the chief historian, he did not ask this matter in front of everyone.

He didn't want King Ji's prestige to be damaged by others, even if King Ji did something wrong.

"Oh, so that's what you were talking about."

Li Shen opened his eyes and sat up. Chunxiang handed over a cup of tea, and Li Shen took it and took a sip.

“Xuance, if you use too many tricks, others will be wary of you. I need to find an excuse, an excuse that Silla can trust.

If I don't explain it and bring Silla with me, it will definitely affect His Majesty's plans after they find out.

This Jin Chunqiu is not simple. His talent is comparable to Lu Dongzan of Tubo.

As soon as I mentioned the soybean plan, he was already on alert.

In order to make him feel at ease, even the lies in Yuan Cheng are not credible. "

Li Shen explained calmly.

"But your lord, what should Silla do?" Wang Xuance asked.

"In fact, I have already made plans about this, and there are more than one." Li Shen looked confident.

"I would like to hear the details."

"Well, I will tell you. I have thought of two methods, but I still need to go to the palace to discuss with His Majesty which one to use."

Li Shen took another sip of tea and read tomato novels for free.

"The first method is to drive away wolves and tigers. Baekje is adjacent to Silla and is superior to Silla in terms of military strength.

That's why Silla was defeated by Baekje and occupied more than 40 cities.

If we, the Tang Dynasty, had not sent troops to garrison, Baekje would have already arrived at the city.

Think about it, if there is a famine in Baekje, Silla happens to have a lot of food, and the Tang army stationed in Silla happens to withdraw to the Tang Dynasty because of domestic troubles.

What do you think of Baekje? "

"If I were the king of Baekje, I would definitely send troops to Silla to snatch food as quickly as possible before the Tang army came back." Wang Xuance said without hesitation.

"Yes, I think so too. The most terrifying thing in the world is famine.

What the king fears most is that the people in the country don't have enough to eat. People who don't have enough to eat can do anything.

They may rebel against the imperial court, they may fall into trouble and become bandits, or they may flee to other countries.

Just like when we attacked Goguryeo from Khitan, there were corpses everywhere along the way. I don’t know how many people died.

These are the people who fled to the grassland. "Every time Li Shen thought about the widespread famine in Goguryeo that caused many people to starve to death, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

At this time Wang Xuance continued:

“So, in order to stabilize the people at home, the Baekje court would launch wars abroad and plunder the food of other countries.

Although Goguryeo was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, Yeon Gaesumun always retained his strength. Baekje did not dare to attack Goguryeo.

We can only choose Silla, which is weaker than them, to attack, and we only need to sit back and watch, and the fishermen will benefit.

My lord, this is a wonderful plan. "Wang Xuance couldn't help but praise. He didn't analyze it in detail just now.

"Haha, as long as the imperial court rewards Silla with the old grain from Yicang in various names at that time, the news will be released to let everyone in Baekje know.

The people of Baekje will also go to Silla. "Li Shen smiled and nodded with an enigmatic look.

"Yes, we don't even need to transport food. We can achieve our goal by spreading this rumor in Baekje." Wang Xuance nodded.

"As long as you understand, I will tell you about the second method.

This method is more cumbersome, but more effective than the first method, and it is also an emergency plan for me.

This plan requires the cooperation of His Majesty and the court.

Let His Majesty decree that Silla send their famous scholar Da Ru to the Tang Dynasty for in-depth cultural exchanges.

When the time comes, we will provide them with a good learning environment and let them see the prosperous side of Datang City.

A free trading environment where people are free and unrestrained without oppression.

In addition to learning about communication, we also help them study their country.

Why are they so weak, why are they not as good as Baekje, why can't they join our people and live and work in peace and contentment like the Tang Dynasty.

Finally, we have to come to the conclusion that the reason why he is not as good as us is that the court controls too much. Their nobles have been squeezing the fruits of the people's labor. "

"Does the prince mean to incite their people to rebel?" Wang Xuance interrupted and asked.

However, he felt that this was unlikely. If the people rebelled so easily, the Tang Dynasty would have been in chaos.

The most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty was various cults and underground resistance organizations, and there were even rebels holding the banner of Prince Yin.

If the common people could incite rebellion with just a few words, the world would have been in chaos.

"No, no, no, how can people rebel so easily? It requires a miracle. For example, people in Baekje make money by planting soybeans.

The country that purchased soybeans at high prices was Silla. What do the people of Silla think? Do they also want to get rich and grow soybeans together?

But I told Silla the plan, and Silla would definitely not let the people soybeans.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Silla court to reveal this plan to the people, otherwise how would they defeat Baekje.

At that time, we will secretly seduce some Silla nobles to grow soybeans themselves. The people will definitely be dissatisfied when they see the nobles making a lot of money but not letting them make money.

We are secretly fanning the flames and organizing some righteous organizations such as resistance armies.

Anyway, the more lively the better, Silla has nothing to fear in the first place, and causing them some trouble is just the king's hope that one less soldier will die.

As long as they have some domestic chaos, even if it is not civil unrest, their sense of resistance will be reduced.

Alas, I just want fewer people to die. "

"Your Majesty is very righteous." Wang Xuance saluted. He felt that the backup plan that His Majesty just mentioned was incomplete.

There are still many things that can be done here. If it is done well, it might be possible to destroy a country without even a single blow.

As long as you perfect it a little, it will be really easy to deal with the small country of Silla.

Nowadays, the power of Prince Ji's Mansion is not known to outsiders. The wealth of Prince Ji's Mansion is richer than that of many small affiliated countries.

It is actually not an exaggeration to describe Prince Ji's Mansion as being extremely wealthy.

With the financial resources of Prince Ji's palace and Prince Ji's strategy, it is really easy to play with a small country. This is why Wang Xuance refused Li Shimin to join the court as an official.

The pleasure of being able to execute a plan with your own hands and manipulate a country at your fingertips is something you don't get in court.

"So, I need you to do something and prepare for the second backup plan."
