Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

"Shameless lecher, I don't care about any imperial concubine."

Su Chen pulled Dugu into his arms and sat down, teasingly saying, "Hehe, little Feng'er, do you want to be the empress?"

"Pshaw, I don't want that. I want to roam freely in the martial arts world from now on."

Dugu Feng felt extremely uncomfortable being held and seated by Su Chen.

This bastard is really obsessed with her long legs, and Dugu Feng is truly helpless with Su Chen.

"Master, Madam You requests an audience!"

At this time,

Outside the room, Liu Sheng Piaoxu reported,

Su Chen heard that You Chuhong had arrived.

He guessed that You Chuhong had come to tell him some news.

"Let her in!"

"Yes, Master!"

Dugu Feng heard that her grandmother had arrived.

She hurriedly got up from Su Chen's arms and straightened her clothes. Dugu Feng didn't want her grandmother to see that she and Su Chen were having a secret rendezvous here.

When You Chuhong entered the room, she first looked at Dugu Feng, then nodded to Su Chen and said...

"Marquis of Wuwei!"

Su Chen stood up and said to You Chuhong,

"Please have a seat, Madam You!"

"Marquis Wuwei, I have come to tell you some news."

"Please speak, Madam?"

You Chuhong looked at Su Chen and said,

"Yesterday, Goryeo launched a war against the Tang Dynasty, and Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty is in dire need of help."

Upon hearing You Chuhong's words, Su Chen asked in surprise,

"What? Goryeo has launched a war against the Tang Dynasty at this time? Is Goryeo taking advantage of the chaos?"

You Chuhong nodded and said

"That's probably it. Since the Tang Empire paid a large amount of money and grain to the Turks, the Tang treasury is empty and the grain is in short supply. Goryeo probably saw that the Tang Dynasty was at its weakest point and wanted to take advantage of the situation to bite into the fat meat."

Su Chen couldn't quite understand it.

Goryeo Goguryeo had always feared an attack from the Central Plains Empire.

Why is Goryeo now attacking the Tang Empire? Is the Tang Empire really so poor that it can't even afford to eat?

"Madam, how many troops did Goryeo deploy?"

"Three hundred thousand!"

When Su Chen heard that Goryeo had mobilized 300,000 troops, which might be Goryeo's entire army, he wondered if Goryeo really wanted to take a bite out of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Chen shook his head and said,

"Three hundred thousand troops? Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty may be lost. What about the Turks? Have they made any moves?"

·· ····Requesting flowers····· ···

You Chuhong continued speaking to Su Chen,

"The Turks have remained silent, but the Turkic national teacher Bi Xuan and the Goryeo official Fu Cailin have both appeared in Luoyang, Tang Dynasty. It seems that Goryeo wants to unite with the powerful Turks."

You Chuhong never imagined that the mighty Tang Empire, after its battle with the Turks, would fall into such a state of constant attack by foreign tribes.

First the Turks launched a war against the Tang Dynasty, and now Goryeo is launching a war against the Tang Dynasty.

What about next time?

Are they the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions?

Or Tibet?

The Tang Dynasty had a million-strong army.

However, there were also many foreign nations to guard against.

The Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemy states.

Not to mention that the Tang Empire and the Sui Empire were mortal enemies, the Tang Empire also had tense relations with the Turks, Goryeo, Tibet, and even the three or six kingdoms of the Western Regions. The Tang Empire, which had only been established for more than ten years, had too many enemies.

...

Su Chen lowered his head and pondered.

Goryeo launched a war against the Tang Dynasty with an army of 300,000.

This was good news for him, as Su Chen at least had time to integrate the Sui Empire.

But he couldn't understand it.

If Goryeo had allied with the Turks, why would they have chosen to meet in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?

This simply doesn't make sense.

"Madam You, has Emperor Taizong of Tang sought aid from other empires in the Central Plains?"

You Chuhong shook her head and replied, "Not yet. However, even if Li Shimin were to seek help from other Central Plains empires, those empires would not be willing to assist the Tang Empire."

Su Chen was very puzzled when he heard You Chuhong's words.

Doesn't the empire in the Central Plains have an unwritten rule?

When foreign powers attacked the Central Plains empires, would other Central Plains empires send troops to help? Why couldn't other Central Plains empires help the Tang Dynasty?

"why?"

Yu Chuhong explained with a grim expression.

"Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had non-Han ancestry. In addition, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing his brothers and even taking his brothers' widows into the palace."

"The other Central Plains empires did not recognize the Tang Empire as part of the Central Plains, and they didn't even have any dealings with the Tang Empire. The fact that the Central Plains empires didn't take advantage of this to launch a war against the Tang Empire is already quite commendable."

Chapter 324 The Temple of the God of War? Princess Yujia of the Turks Arrives in Luoyang!

Su Chen was speechless upon hearing You Chuhong's words.

It all seems to be Li Shimin's fault.

Was the Tang Empire isolated by all the empires in the Central Plains? The various empires in the Central Plains didn't even recognize the Tang Empire as part of the Central Plains. Li Shimin had only himself to blame!

Su Chen talked with You Chuhong for a while longer.

You Chuhong then pulled Dugu Feng away.

Su Chen shook his head as he watched You Chuhong being pulled toward Dugu Feng. Was You Chuhong afraid that he would eat Dugu Feng?

Liu Sheng Piaoxu massaged Su Chen as she did so.

She asked in confusion,

"Master, do you intend to take this opportunity to launch a war against the Tang Empire?"

Su Chen shook his head and said,

"No, although the Tang Empire is not recognized by the empires of the Central Plains, the people within the Tang Empire are all from the Central Plains. It is impossible for me to launch a war against the Tang Empire at this time."

Su Chen realized that Li Shimin was currently short of money.

Food and fodder were scarce.

The war between Goryeo and Tang Dynasty

Even if Li Shimin sold the palace, he probably wouldn't be able to raise enough money and provisions for an army of four or five hundred thousand.

Unless Li Shimin takes action against those powerful clans and aristocratic families,

Otherwise, the Tang Empire would be in crisis.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu continued, "Should we investigate the arrival of Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and then refused.

"There's no need for that. Our top priority is to rescue people from Jingnian Temple. The Tang Dynasty, the Turks, and Goryeo are not things we should be worrying about right now. Li Shimin is probably not even sleeping soundly right now."

"Master, what about Fu Junqiang and Fu Junyu? Should we tell them that Fu Cailin has arrived?"

"Don't say anything yet, let's see how things go in a few days."

"Yes, Master!"

now,

In a secluded courtyard in Luoyang,

Some Turkic experts and some Goryeo experts were guarding outside a room.
