The Koreans have the power of Resolve.
For centuries, the Korean peoples have been hemmed in by three things: the all-encompassing Yellow Sea, the Yalu river and the might of the Chinese Empire. Yet, in the wake of the collapse of the Sui, the Korean kingdoms too also experienced upheavals — that have seen their borders expand well beyond the mountains of the Liaodong peninsula, and into Manchuria proper.
Yet despite this, Korea remains fraught with division and bloodshed, for the country still remains divided: Goryeo, which through the skill of her commanders and kings has managed to seize control of lands beyond the Yalu, and Silla, recently victorious over her hated enemy Baekjae. And both nations have reached a critical moment in time: Goryeo had been invaded countless times over by the Chinese, but managed to survive regardless — it was after all a defeat in Korea that had cost the Sui the Dragon Throne. And Silla could triumph only through intervention by Tang , fending off the Japanese and lending Silla the supplies and men it needed to prevail.
There are only two choices open to the Korean peoples: unite together against the foreigners, or be preyed upon by the Tang and the Japanese, who still smart from the destruction of Baekjae. But which course of action would prove the best? that would be up to you to decide.
