983、Impressive

"Her Majesty Queen, what do you Silla want?" Jing Wen asked.

Since this question cannot be avoided, Jing Wen can only ask directly. Anyway, it would be better to solve it earlier if he knew it. If he didn't know it, it would be impossible to solve it, so it must be clear.

"We want to follow our current division, north of Pyongyang City is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and south of Pyongyang City is the territory of our Silla. Just divide it like this, with Pyongyang City as the boundary, how about it?" Jinderman said.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Jing Wen said furiously, because the problem he was most worried about arises, that is, Silla wants territory.

According to Jin Deman, it was simply cutting off the strategic goals of the Tang Dynasty. What the Tang Dynasty had to do this time was to recapture the four counties of Liaodong during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the four counties of Liaodong were Xuantu County, Lelang County, Zhenfan County and Lintun County. Later, Lintun County of Zhenfan County was incorporated into Lelang County. Before going to the expedition, Jingwen went to the secretary to search for some rare ancient books and then found the administrative divisions of Lelang County. Of course, Jingwen knew that the southernmost point of Lelang County was north of the Han River, which was later north of the Han River in Seoul, South Korea, were once China's territory.

Now that Goguryeo surrendered, Goguryeo's territory should be taken back. The Tang Dynasty's goal was to take back the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, that is, at least the territory north of the Han River must be completely reclaimed, so as to complete this strategic task. But now Silla actually has to use Pyongyang City as the boundary, which means that it is to transfer a large amount of territory to the Silla side. Silla wants more territory so that it can satisfy Silla's appetite. But this is not something Jing Wen can accept. After all, they are excited this time. Is it just to make this scattered rice?

"General Jingwen, we are all occupied by Silla in these places now." Jinderman said.

Jindeman's meaning is very obvious, that is, these places are now occupied by Silla. Do you want Silla to spit it out? Since ancient times, it is impossible to spit out what you eat into your mouth. Just like Goguryeo, they have eroded so much of the Central Plains territory. If they want them to spit out, it is impossible. Unless the Tang Dynasty destroyed them, they will not want to return to these territories at all. So this is the reason for fighting Goguryeo this time. And Jindeman's meaning is that these territories have been occupied by Silla, so don't think that Silla will spit out, unless you can also destroy Silla.

"It's still impossible. The former land of the four counties in Liaodong is the target of our Tang Dynasty this time, and we are unwilling to give it to you!" Jing Wen said.

But Jin Deman smiled and said, "General Jingwen. Your wife, my cousin, Jin Shengman, is your future wife, actually..."

"Don't get close to me. I value national interests more important than family!" Jing Wen said.

Of course, Jindeman knew that it was very difficult to give up the demands of the territory south of Pyongyang this time, so Jindeman actually had no good idea. Since Silla has occupied these territories, it is impossible to throw them away from the negotiating table. If she, the Queen of Silla, lost the territory captured by Silla soldiers at the negotiating table, she, probably, doesn't have to be the queen, and she goes home and gets married and raises children. So Jindeman has no choice, she must fight for everything.

And now the situation is also very obvious. The interests of the two sides are too different. Of course, Jing Wen was also an angry young man in later generations, and was very happy that the Han Dynasty had pushed its territory north of the Han River. Later generations Jing Wen was not just a dream. China could take back all the territory north of the Han River on the Korean Peninsula. Now that Jing Wen has the opportunity to do this, how could Jing Wen miss it? If the territory north of the Han River is lost this time in Jing Wen's own hands, then Jing Wen really has no face to meet his descendants. So, if Jing Wen loses these territory north of the Han River at the negotiating table, then Jing Wen might as well hang himself and apologize.

Therefore, both sides cannot give up, and the Han River Basin can be said to be a granary on the Korean Peninsula. This is the place where grain is produced on the Korean Peninsula. If Jindeman gave it to the Tang Dynasty, then the grain in Silla will depend on the face of the Tang Dynasty. If a country cannot even have food, then what hope does the country have? Therefore, many countries pursue self-sufficiency in food. Otherwise, the people's livelihood of the country will depend on the face of the foreign country. If foreign countries can extort you at any time, Silla will naturally not be able to abandon the Han River Basin.

Neither side had a choice, and could only try their best to fight, and they would never lose their territory at the negotiating table. But the problem now is that neither side could start fighting, and the Tang Dynasty could not continue fighting. If Silla continues to destroy Silla, it would be very bad for the "international image" of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, these vassal states around them would take the initiative to collude to defend against the Tang Dynasty. As for Silla, as long as the Tang Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack them, they would not take the initiative to attack the Tang Dynasty. After all, their strength was much worse than that of the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm in trouble!" Jing Wen thought to himself.

According to this situation, when no one can use force to solve the problem, it often delays and leaves it alone. Jing Wen's experience in later generations actually has territorial disputes with many countries in later generations, but no one wants to use force. In the case of "nuclear peace" with nuclear weapons in later generations, once both sides use force, it will be a nuclear war, so the territorial issue has been unresolved. Once neither side can resolve it through force, the two sides will eventually balance each other and the territorial issue becomes a confusing account.

Isn't the same with the problems of the Tang Dynasty and Silla now? Both sides cannot solve the problem directly through force, so both sides have the scruples that they cannot use force. In this case, they can only delay each other and leave it alone. Now Jing Wen can be sure that it is difficult for both sides to argue. After all, no one can use force, and this is simply the headless case. Once Silla has occupied that land for a long time, the final result is that Silla has completely eaten up the land. Therefore, the more time is delayed, the more it is detrimental to the Tang Dynasty, so Jing Wen has a headache.
