Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

While the Queen of Silla was still worrying about how to break the impasse, the conspirators in the capital of Goguryeo were celebrating.

"Lord Su Wen is truly a prophet." - Buyeo Yici, the eldest son of the King of Baekje, came to visit Quan Gaisu Wen's house this time, naturally for the same thing.

The place where the two met this time was in Quan Gaisuwen's study.

"You want to ask whether His Royal Highness the King of Chu from the Tang Dynasty will intervene in this matter, right?" Smart people don't need to talk too much nonsense. Quan Gaisuwen, who was sitting behind the desk and studying the battle map, didn't wait for Buyeo Yici to speak again, and said directly: "To be honest with you, I am not sure whether he will lead the army here."

"This guy... is very good at fighting." Fu Yu Yi Ci sighed after hearing this: "But we will have to face him sooner or later, right?"

"That may not be the case." Quan Gaisuwen shook his head upon hearing this: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very suspicious of his most outstanding son. I heard that the King of Chu has now been exiled to the barren land in the southernmost part of the Tang Dynasty. I don't believe that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's actions will not chill the heart of the Barbarian King.

Besides, the other party has just held his wedding - Brother Yici, if you were him, would you choose to intervene in this matter?

This is not only a thankless task, but if it is not done well, it may lead to the charge of acting without authorization. Moreover, if the King of Chu causes the Emperor of Tang to become more suspicious of him because of this matter, wouldn't that be courting disaster?"

"Brother Su Wen's words make a lot of sense." Fu Yu Yi Ci nodded immediately after listening to the other party's analysis, but then he hesitated and said, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said in his letter that he will send envoys to mediate the negotiations next spring. By then, everything will be brought to the surface, which will be disadvantageous to both you and me..."

"We can't take down Silla in five months?" Quan Gaisuwen smiled calmly, "By then, it will be a done deal. I wonder if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really confident that he can lead his army to break through the iron wall of Goguryeo!"

His Majesty Li II and His Royal Highness the King of Chu guessed Quan Gaisuwen's plan, and Quan Gaisuwen could also see through their intentions.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that everyone wants to be the winner.

However, Quan Gaisuwen believed that after his hard work over the past few years, the Goguryeo army was stronger than before. Moreover, the number of fortresses he had repaired on the border was far more than before - so he had absolute confidence that he could stop the attack of the Tang army.

As long as they hold out until the weather turns cold, the Tang Dynasty will return home. By then, he can let Goguryeo take advantage of the opportunity to recuperate, and then...

When Quan Gaisuwen thought of this, he looked at Buyeo Yici unconsciously. He found that the other person also had a thoughtful expression on his face, so Quan Gaisuwen couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yici, what are you worried about?"

"Brother Su Wen, I think all your inferences just now are reasonable, even brilliant. But...that King of Chu...will he really...really not interfere in this matter as you said?" Buyeo Yici's fear of His Royal Highness the King of Chu stems from the strength His Royal Highness the King of Chu demonstrated when Silla fought against the Japanese pirates last time.

And he had reason to believe that if His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not been in a hurry to return to his country, Baekje would definitely have been in trouble.

You know, his father, Buyeo Zhang, the current King of Baekje, was once conferred the title of "King of Baekje, Daifang County Prince" by Li Yuan - so, in terms of rank, the title of King of Baekje is one level lower than that of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Therefore, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu wanted to attack Baekje, the latter would not be able to defeat him, and there was no way to reason with him.

It’s not because he can’t win the argument - it’s because no matter whether he is right or wrong, our Prince Chu is too lazy to listen.

He could only punch Fu Yuzhang, a good-for-nothing who only loved to build large-scale projects and talk about life and ideals with beautiful women.

Closer to home.

Perhaps the incense in the corner of the study was too strong. After Buyeo Yici asked that question, Quan Gaisuwen felt a tightness in his chest and a dizziness in his head.

Quan Gaisuwen's misfortune in this life probably started when he met His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

So he answered like this: "Even if he can come, so what? Can I let him sneak in disguised as a merchant this time? From tomorrow on, all merchant caravans from the Tang Dynasty will not be allowed to enter Goguryeo!"

"Brother Su Wen, please think twice!" Fu Yu Yi Ci saw Quan Gai Su Wen suddenly make such a reckless decision, and hurriedly spoke to stop him: "Let's not talk about whether your doing this will affect the interests of various forces within our organization. I just want to ask you, making such a big fuss just to prevent the King of Chu from bringing people in, it's a bit too much!"

"What do you know?!" Hearing what the other party said, Quan Gaisuwen, for once, ignored the other party's face and immediately scolded him: "The King of Chu brought about a thousand people and killed his way through the Goguryeo palace. Do you think I didn't think of keeping him forever? The King of Chu is powerful, but the retainers under his command are not ordinary people either!"

"Okay..." Fu Yu Yici had already mastered the art of swallowing insults: "Brother Su Wen, you know those people better than I do. I just said something wrong."

"..." Quan Gaisuwen, who had been tortured by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and whose biological father was killed by the other party's retainers, really didn't know for a moment whether Buyeo Yici's last sentence was a mockery of him.

But these are no longer important.

"From now on, you and I only need to concentrate on one thing." Since some complicated thoughts cannot be sorted out for the time being, we might as well make the worst plan. Quan Gaisuwen thought of this, retracted his gaze, and then focused on the map in front of him: "Take Gyeongju as quickly as possible. As long as the Queen of Silla is killed, everything in Silla will belong to you and me!"
