When did Changbai Mountain belong to your Goguryeo?
This is the territory of our Dafeng since ancient times!
"And cede the three Liaodong counties?"
"You, Goguryeo, really know how to dream!"
"How about giving Chang'an to you as well?"
Ning Que watched their performance quietly.
It is obvious that this was all done on purpose by the Emperor.
The purpose is to have a legitimate reason.
In fact, many people in the country do not agree with sending troops.
Including ministers such as Yu Ji, Sima Changqing, and Jiang Quan.
War often depends on whether it is cost-effective.
Goguryeo was a remote and poor place with little value.
It is too far from Chang'an and too close to the King of Qi.
Who will it be prepared for after it is taken down?
Sending out hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely result in losses in the end.
Furthermore, despite Goguryeo's provocations over the years, they made no real progress. They only occasionally made incursions across the border, which was annoying, but they never actually launched a military offensive. Compared to the ambitious Liao, Goguryeo was relatively good.
Furthermore, the three campaigns against Goguryeo also cast a shadow over Dafeng. It wasn't because Goguryeo was particularly strong, but simply because the region was too cold. As the battle line stretched, logistical support was under immense pressure.
Fighting on Goguryeo's home turf, they took advantage of their rest to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.
Even if Dafeng wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
It can be said that the effort and reward are completely disproportionate.
Therefore, Emperor Feng deliberately indulged Park Duanchang.
Just let him talk nonsense here.
How can we send troops without angering the court officials?
"The three Liaodong counties have been part of Goguryeo since ancient times, but were taken away by the old King Ning. If the emperor returns them to Goguryeo, it will represent the enduring friendship between the two countries."
"Fuck you!"
"What do the three Liaodong counties have to do with you?"
"Liaodong originally belonged to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and is our Dafeng territory!"
Even the anti-war ministers in the court could not hold it in any longer.
Sima Changqing even stood up and pointed at Pu Duanchang and scolded him.
This is no longer a normal person.
We must strike hard!
