Chapter 297: Military Order
Whether it was Yang Jian, Yang Guang, or His Majesty Li Er, Goguryeo was a big problem in the border area. Yang Guang thoroughly explained to the world what it means to "hazard of one's ability" and it was not decided by the emperor's mind. Whether it was the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the fighting of Goguryeo was something that all the civil and military officials in the court agreed. The current differences in the court are just because they are fighting or watching the tiger fights and waiting to get a bargain.
The turmoil of the Sui regime eventually led to its destruction, which was also because of Yang Guang's urgent policy that he lost his majesty after the three battles of Goguryeo, and the families in Guanzhong did not trust him. Yang Xuanyan in the court rebelled. Although he was finally pacified, it was difficult to change the ending of the building.
If we follow the history that Xuan Shijing is familiar with, fighting Goguryeo would cost the efforts of the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties and four generations, including Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Er, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi.
From this we can see that the Goguryeo regime was indeed a nail in the hearts of the Central Plains dynasty. It would not be easy to pull it out, otherwise His Majesty Li Er would not have said, "I have destroyed the nine states, but this is the only corner."
"It's not a matter of a day or two for Goguryeo to peek at the Central Plains. Since the Three Koreans became famous, looking at the past, it has never been a time when it was not a mess between the Central Plains dynasty and the northern grasslands. When the Central Plains dynasty became stronger, they honestly bowed down and surrendered. Once there was civil strife in the Central Plains, the most joyful person on the border was them. At that time, Liaodong and other places were just taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to erode westward little by little." Xuan Shijing said: "Now Goguryeo and Baekje are in good condition, and Silla is temporarily relying on the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I think that this trip to Liaodong is not just Goguryeo. I'm afraid Silla Baekje will also get involved in it."
"Baoje sent troops. As I expected, I will send an order to Liu Rengui, so that Liu Rengui's navy will cooperate with your and Xue Rengui's actions in Liaodong. Secondly, Su Dingfang is now in Hebei, and now the troops in Liaodong are only more than 40,000. Goguryeo and Baekje have joined forces, and the 40,000 troops are not enough to deal with it. If necessary, please ask Su Dingfang to help you." His Majesty Li Er said: "I have given you high hopes this time, don't let me down."
"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded with his fists: "Your Majesty, in addition, can I bring more gunpowder when I go to Liaodong this time..."
"Well, how much do you want? Just go to the Ministry of War to take charge of yourself." His Majesty Li Er said: "I wrote a letter in my hand, and you can go to the Ministry of War in person."
Since the Ministry of War, gunpowder has been listed as one of the most important secrets of the Tang Dynasty by the Ministry of War. Without His Majesty Li Er's handwritten letters, no one could draw a slight amount of gunpowder from the Ministry of War. The place where gunpowder was made in the Tang Dynasty is now full of civil and military officials. Except for the Minister of War, the two ministers of the Ministry of War, and His Majesty Li Er, no one knows that it is hidden very strictly.
Xuan Shijing got His Majesty Li Er's handwritten letter and took advantage of the Chang'an City to go directly to the Ministry of War to find the officials of the Ministry of War to get things. Although everything is ready in Liaodong, Xuan Shijing just takes people there, but preparing more is also a precaution.
After reading His Majesty Li Er's handwritten letter, the Ministry of War's attitude towards Xuan Shijing was obviously much better. Now gunpowder is the lifeblood of the Ministry of War. Can you say you want it? Moreover, Xuan Shijing brought a small number of people to Liaodong this time.
"Mr. Xuan, this gunpowder was written by His Majesty. I wonder if you brought someone here?" The Minister of War asked while walking beside Xuan Shijing.
"Not a moment." Xuan Shijing responded: "Gunpowder is a secret of the court. The Ministry of War has done a good job in keeping confidentiality. This marquis will not be too much. The matter will be arranged by the Minister of the Secretariat. I waited on the village to send the things to the village of Dongshan County, and I will be in trouble."
"I dare not, don't dare." The Minister of War smiled and waved his hand. Xuan Shijing was very pleased to consider the Ministry of War. He had never dealt with this Dongshan Hou in government and military affairs. He thought that this Dongshan Hou was a difficult person to talk to. When he contacted him today, he was very easy to talk to.
Xuan Shijing is such a person. He can pay him back if he respects him one foot.
"As for the number of things that I said about, please try to be as compatible as possible. Both this marquis and the court attach great importance to the war in Liaodong. I still hope that our court can work together. If the contributions of Liaodong are not the only one, can you understand?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
The Minister of War nodded repeatedly: "I understand, understand."
Xuan Shijing said this, which shows that if Goguryeo was beaten up in Liaodong and submitted a statement after the war, the credit would definitely be the one of their Ministry of War.
Xuan Shijing felt that there was no need to rob someone like him on the battlefield. It was not a good thing to make too much money. Everyone should eat meat and drink soup together. I plan to be good, everyone, why bother to fight for a little bit of oil?
The days are still long.
Xuan Shijing left the Ministry of War and rode his horse to the Shenhou Mansion. Now the Shenhou Mansion is deserted. Xuan Shijing dismounted, pushed open the door and walked into the hall.
In the hall, Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao were still sitting in their seats as usual, with Chang Le and Gao Jun sitting on the seats beside them.
Xuan Shijing went to the palace to court and knew that it was because of Liaodong, so he asked Gao Jun and Chang Le to inform Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao to come to the Shenhou Mansion to wait. In fact, he had already decided in his heart that Liaodong would fight with Quan Gai Suwen, and he must go to Liaodong and settle the war in person.
When he went to Liaodong and Chang'an City, he needed Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao to take care of him. At that time, Changle, Gao Jun, and the five hundred soldiers in Zhuangzi of Dongshan County will definitely be taken away.
Seeing Xuan Shijing walk into the hall, Changle and Gao Jun stood up.
"Marty." The two bowed to Xuan Shijing.
"Xiao Jing, how about it in the court?" Fang Yiai stood up and asked.
"Sit down and sit down and chat." Xuan Shijing said, and then he found a place to sit down. Soon, a maid brought the tea.
"Now the ministers have spread privately, saying that Gao Huanquan, who is in Liaodong, is going to fight with Quan Gai Suwen. What did Your Majesty say in the court today?" Fang Yiai asked: "Your Majesty specially asked the eunuch to go to Dongshan County to find you in Chang'an City to attend the morning court. There must be something you have to do with you."
When Xuan Shijing heard this, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, Gao Huanquan is indeed going to fight with Quan Gai Suwen, and there are also plans between me and Xue Rengui. Naturally, the matter has developed to this point, and Your Majesty also knows."
