What the hell?
Destroy Goguryeo?
Didn’t this happen in the 18th year of Zhenguan?
Just because of a movie called "Morning of Empire", the time of conquest was brought forward?
But if you think about it the other way around, this isn't surprising.
Historically, the reason why Li Er waited until the 18th year of Zhenguan to send troops to Goguryeo was not because he did not want to do it earlier, but because the situation and strength did not allow it.
It was not until the 18th year of Zhenguan that Li Er defeated the Turks, pacified Tuyuhun, and destroyed Gaochang. He felt confident in both the situation and the national strength, and then he set his sights on Goguryeo, the clown.
In contrast, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty today has become increasingly full because of its own efforts.
Not only that, even the aristocratic families in the south are now in a panic.
Although he had just defeated the Turks and had not yet completed the pacification of Tuyuhun and the destruction of Gaochang, Li Er's confidence was unprecedentedly high.
It just so happened that the movie "Morning of Empire" angered him, so it was reasonable for him to propose an expedition against Goguryeo.
After all, Japan, which is farther away than Goguryeo, is also in the plan, and sending troops to Goguryeo is just a waste of time.
Historically, Li Er, as a wise ruler, learned many lessons from the demise of the Sui Dynasty.
However, on the issue of conquering Goguryeo, his views were surprisingly consistent with those of his cousin Yang Guang.
One of the important reasons for the fall of the Sui Dynasty was Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo.
This led to the terrible situation of "not enough men, and women being forced to work as slaves".
People from all over the country rose up in rebellion, and the world was in chaos.
Then why did Li Er insist on killing Goguryeo like Emperor Yang of Sui?
Didn't he know that the Sui Dynasty actually perished indirectly from the war against Goguryeo?
No.
Li Er not only knew it, but also knew it very clearly.
But in history, he had to do this.
As for the reason.
The main reason was that the Tang Dynasty wanted to maintain the vassal relationship and not allow other countries to challenge the world system it had built.
In addition, there are many other reasons, such as Yeon Gaesomun's murder of his lord, Goguryeo's disobedience to the imperial edict, rescuing Silla, recovering the Liaodong territory, avenging the shame of the Sui Dynasty, preventing future chaos, and pacifying the world.
certainly.
Sending troops to destroy a country is not as simple as it sounds.
Although the Koreans are arrogant and always think they are the center of the universe.
But it is undeniable that today's Goguryeo can defeat Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army.
Although the ancient army of millions was just a claim, it was mostly exaggerated.
But it is undeniable that Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed defeated by Goguryeo.
Even Li Er in history was forced to retreat when he conquered Goguryeo.
Perhaps it was for this reason that, after calling for an expedition against Goguryeo, Li Er came to Zhou Yu with red eyes and said, "Boy, you have to help me. Goguryeo is really going too far!"
Zhou Yu: ...
Can I refuse this?
Considering that the expedition to Japan is imminent, it seems difficult to refuse.
But I just want to lie down and don’t want to worry about these things at all!
“Ugh~”
Just when Zhou Yu was feeling helpless, a dry retching sound suddenly came from the side.
Turning around, he saw Empress Changsun covering her mouth with her sleeve, obviously trying her best to restrain herself.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, mother, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mother, please sit down and rest for a while."
…
Before Zhou Yu could figure out what was going on, the three little princesses surrounded Empress Changsun.
Looking at Li Er again, he no longer cared about Goguryeo. He took two steps at a time and grabbed Empress Changsun's arm. "Guanyinbi, what's wrong with you?"
"For some reason, I've been feeling nauseous for the past few days."
Seeing Li Er's face full of tension, Empress Changsun had to suppress her discomfort and explain.
Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but become even more anxious and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Maybe I have an upset stomach, it's nothing serious."
Empress Changsun waved her hand and sat down on the chair.
"No, I'd better go to the hospital for a checkup before I can rest assured."
Actually, it’s no wonder that Li Er was nervous.
He remembered clearly the records about Empress Changsun in history books.
Although Empress Changsun's health has recovered a lot after treatment in the hospital.
But he really had no idea whether this could actually change the fate of the world.
If after all the trouble they find that history cannot be changed at all, then for them, knowing Zhou Yu would actually be a disaster.
Being able to predict the future is a good thing, but if you can't change it, it will definitely be torture.
After all, few people can face their impending death with a normal mind.
Zhou Yu also thought about Li Er's concerns.
Without waiting for Empress Changsun's response, he said without hesitation, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll go get the car."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his room.
He quickly changed his clothes, helped the little kid who had hurriedly followed him put on his coat, and then headed straight for the underground garage.
When the car arrived at the gate of the villa, Li Er was already waiting there, supporting Empress Changsun.
As for Chengyang and Li Lizhi, they quickly took away the things that Empress Changsun had brought with her from her previous hospitalization.
Because he was worried that the disease would be delayed, Zhou Yu drove much faster.
This made Empress Changsun, who had been feeling better, feel uncomfortable again.
Helplessly, Zhou Yu had to control the speed of the car again.
Fortunately, they were not far from the hospital, and soon everyone surrounded Empress Changsun and walked into the hospital.
