Back at the Tang Army's camp, Li Qinzai sat down on the Persian carpet in the handsome tent and sighed comfortably.
From the Tang Army camp to the Silla Army camp, half a circuit around the city was exhausting.
The ending was pretty good. Jin Yuxin bowed his head. Whether he bowed his head sincerely or still held a grudge, at least the Silla allies could be honest for the time being.
The biggest harvest was grain and grass. I couldn't wait for the grain and grass to be transferred from Silla, so I requisitioned the grain and grass of the Silla Army first. The food crisis of the Tang Army was temporarily relieved.
It is the Silla Army that is short of food now. If Kim Yu-shin does not want everyone to starve to death, he will definitely be very active in recruiting food this time.
After returning to the commander's tent and resting for a while, he was about to call Xiao Baga to give him a full massage, but he heard Liu Asi reporting outside the commander's tent that Wang Fangyi and Liu Renyuan wanted to see the generals.
Li Qinzai sighed and ordered the generals to enter the account.
There was a circle of people around him, Wang Fangyi looked anxious, and Liu Renyuan wanted to say something but stopped talking.
Li Qinzai looked around and frowned: "What do you mean by your expression of going to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors? Do you want to circle around me to express your condolences?"
Wang Fangyi sighed: "Li Shuai, I heard just now that you ordered the forward battalion to kill more than a thousand Silla troops?"
"That's right, we haven't calculated the exact number of people yet, but they probably killed about a thousand people." Li Qinzai said calmly.
Liu Renyuan was shocked and said: "Li Shuai, Silla is an ally of the Tang Dynasty. If you use weapons against the allies, if the news is spread back to Chang'an, I am afraid the consequences will be unpredictable and the emperor will definitely hold you accountable."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The emperor will not hold you accountable. The court may have some criticism, but the emperor will suppress you. You must be more confident as a person."
Wang Fangyi suddenly felt heartbroken. Is this a matter of self-confidence?
After killing more than a thousand Allied troops, you don't think this matter will just go away, do you?
More than a thousand Silla troops were killed. This was a very serious diplomatic and military incident, and it seriously affected the alliance between the two countries. If the emperor did not handle it properly, it would be reasonable for Silla and Tang to turn against each other.
However, the instigator seems to be calm and relaxed at the moment. Should we praise him for being confident, or should we say that he is heartless?
Li Qinzai didn't want to explain anything to them. Datang's strategy for the Haidong Peninsula was jointly decided by Li Zhi and him before the expedition, and many veteran generals also participated in the formulation of the strategy.
An important part of the strategy is that all the countries on the Haidong Peninsula will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, including the so-called ally Silla.
After destroying Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty would not withdraw its troops, and its next target would be Silla.
Therefore, after the news of killing more than a thousand Silla troops today reaches Chang'an, Li Zhi will not take it seriously. After all, Silla will be destroyed sooner or later.
Today Li Qinzai seemed to be going on a killing spree, but in fact he was secretly controlling the situation to achieve the purpose of beating the enemy without letting the situation explode into an unmanageable situation.
The alliance between Tang and Luo still exists. Jin Yuxin is a smart man. He will not categorically tear up the alliance between the two countries because of this matter, and the leader of Silla will not allow him to do so.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was about to destroy Goguryeo, the Silla Kingdom was planning to follow the Tang Dynasty and take advantage. At this time, it turned against the Tang Dynasty for the sake of more than a thousand lives. Isn't it purely sick?
Of course, in the following days, the king of Silla and Kim Yu-shin kept making excuses, and verbal disputes between the two countries were inevitable.
But in the end, the incident will just fade away, and whoever takes it seriously will lose.
The Haidong strategy is currently a secret only known to Li Zhi and a few veterans. Wang Fangyi and Liu Renyuan are not qualified to know it due to their official status, and Li Qinzai will not explain it.
"Don't worry, everyone, our army's attack on Goguryeo on the southern front will not be affected. It doesn't matter whether there are Silla allies or not. Today is just a small disturbance. Don't take it too seriously. Our eyes have to look far away, to the north.
Goguryeo is our real enemy."
Wang Fangyi said worriedly: "If the emperor is to question him, Li Shuai will inevitably be..."
"It's okay if you say it's okay. If you're not convinced, let's make a bet on a toaster... Well, how about a bet of ten thousand dollars?" Li Qinzai stared at him with eyes full of expectation.
Wang Fangyi was stunned and said hurriedly: "The general is not unconvinced..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai slapped his thigh: "It's settled, if the emperor doesn't ask me about my crime, you lose me ten thousand guan."
Wang Fangyi opened his mouth in astonishment, and after murmuring a few times, he finally made no sound.
Li Qinzai nodded with satisfaction. Wang Fangyi was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. Over the years, the Wang family in Taiyuan has been unhappy in the court, but the family has a rich history of thousands of years and can still afford a mere ten thousand guan.
To harvest wool, you need to look for fat sheep with thick skin and lots of hair, such as Wang Fangyi.
Li Qinzai looked around at the other generals in the commander's tent with burning eyes.
Liu Renyuan was startled and said hurriedly: "I have no money, and I don't like gambling."
The other generals woke up from a dream, clasped their fists and said, "Me too."
Li Qinzai's eyes darkened for a moment and he sighed in disappointment.
"Is there anything else, everyone? How about we make another bet on whether the number of copper coins in my purse is an odd number or an even number..."
The generals hurriedly declined politely and told Li Qinzai sternly that they had never gambled in their lives.
Li Qinzai's face darkened: "Since everything is fine, why don't you get out of here and wait until I can keep you for dinner?"
The generals were too busy to retire.
…………
The next day, the military report of Li Ji, the main force in the Eastern Expedition, was sent to the commander's tent again.
The Tang army continued to advance into the hinterland of Goguryeo and attacked from the border. Now it has advanced to more than 500 miles inside Goguryeo, conquered more than 20 Goguryeo cities, killed more than 30,000 enemies, and captured more than 300,000 enemy soldiers and civilians, young women and children.
The war is progressing smoothly. With Li Ji's ability, there is no doubt that Goguryeo will be destroyed.
Li Ji agreed with Li Qinzai in the military report on the time for the southern front attack, which was set in mid-June. Li Ji told him that the troops and horses must be sorted out before mid-June.
Once an attack is launched, they will first make a direct attack on Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, which will put pressure on Goguryeo to fight from both the north and the south. At the same time, they will also have to worry about the capital being captured.
In this way, the initiative in this war was completely in the hands of the Tang army.
After putting away the military report, Li Qinzai sat in the commander's tent and meditated alone for a long time before walking out of the commander's tent.
Soldiers and horses are being drilled in the camp.
It was not only the 40,000 Japanese cannon fodder that had to be drilled, but also nearly 20,000 Tang troops, especially the Modao Battalion temporarily established by Li Qinzai in the Japanese country.
During the last uprising in Feiniao City, Li Qinzai withdrew his gunmen and ordered the Mo Dao Battalion to attack the enemy. The five hundred Mo Dao Men did not disappoint Li Qinzai.
Once the formation was set up, the Mo Dao, which weighed more than ten kilograms, was swung, and it became a veritable battlefield meat grinder. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers died under the Mo Dao that night, while the Mo Dao camp was not injured at all.
Just because the Mo Dao Killing Formation is airtight, there is no enemy in the world who can penetrate the Mo Dao Formation.
Despite this, Modao Camp still had to continue training. Feiniao City had a smooth sailing that night, and there was nothing to boast about.
The biggest role of the Modao Camp is actually to make a comeback. When the war is critical, if the Modao Camp is set up at an important strategic location, it will have the courage of thousands of people. The Modao Camp of thousands of people can
Change the outcome of the entire war.
This is the purpose of Li Qinzai's formation of Modao Camp.
