Chai Shao's rebuttal to Kong Yingda and his reply to the emperor shocked the ministers in the palace to Qin Wenyuan's ideas. All the ministers raised their concerns about the Qin family's idea of running schools, believing that once the Xu family brought the people of Qi to a prosperous and healthy life
Road, then the prosperity of Qizhou will attract people from all over the world to long for it.
In fact, the officials could not imagine, let alone describe, the Qin family's reputation among the people in the world at that time.
Li Shimin could naturally think of things that the ministers did not dare to imagine and describe. He lamented and lamented over and over again, regretting that he had not realized that gold and jade had missed him. He could not help but think to himself.
"I regret that I should have been scrupulous and lost my talent in helping the world!"
From then on, Li Shimin already had a grudge against Xiao Yu, Li Daozong, etc., and began to vigorously weaken the various forces of the family in the court. He boldly recruited talented people to serve the various ministries of the court. He worked hard to govern and finally rejuvenated the sluggish country.
, the Zhenguan rule of the Tang Dynasty was finally launched, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent Kaiyuan rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Wenyuan led his troops back to western Liaoning, and a few days later ordered the Pingliao Mansion in "Dragon City" to be rebuilt and renamed the "Marshal" Mansion in Daliao.
After the "Marshal" Mansion of the Liao Dynasty was put into use and the military administration of western Liaoning began to be exercised, the Yamen issued a notice informing the people of western Liaoning about the recruitment of the Qin family army. All people in western Liaoning who voluntarily joined the army were assigned corresponding land through the recruitment system. All foreigners living in western Liaoning were required to serve three years of military service.
system, and its military dependents enjoy preferential policies for working and doing business in western Liaoning.
Qin Wenyuan proclaimed himself the "Marshal" of Liaocheng and was in charge of military affairs. Sima Yuntian was the General Staff Officer of the "Marshal" office of Liaocheng, performing the duties of military counselor and supervising various government affairs in western Liaoning.
"Pingzhou" and "Yingzhou" were upgraded to the metropolitan governor's office, and all the original administrative officials were promoted to the military and administrative posts under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan governor, and all officials under their command were promoted to one level.
The "Songmo" City Yamen was established as the "Songmo Protectorate" Yamen. Wu Ping was promoted to the Songmo Protectorate, managing the affairs of ethnic minorities and controlling the Qin family's 4,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops. The original Songmo City yamen officials were all promoted.
Level one.
Zhao Meng, Zhou Cang, Ruan Wenxiong, Luo Shiyi, Lu Qingling, Shang Fei, Su Jinwu, and Kili Sugu were all promoted to deputy generals of Xu Tian, receiving the rank of third-rank military general. Chen Laoda, who had been in western Liaoning for several months, and Chen Laoer were fifth-rank
Guerrilla general, Ma San was promoted to the rank of fourth-rank junior general, in charge of the Liaoxi intelligence organization. Zhang Dabao was promoted to the rank of fourth-rank commander of the navy in western Liaoning, and took control of all warships of the navy in the western Liaoning naval port.
The Turkic Wolf Cavalry, which was dominated by Qin Wenyuan, was the Turkic tribal guard force stationed outside the "Songmo" city of Xu Army. It was commanded by the deputy general under Kilisu Gu and was directly under the control of the "Generalissimo" Mansion.
After the recruitment of new troops was completed, the Qin family army in western Liaoning was reorganized into an elite force of 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. After several months of continuous extraordinary training, it is now fully formed.
In the late summer and early autumn of the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the war to conquer Liaodong slowly began!
After completely entrusting the military and political affairs of western Liaoning to Sima Yuntian, Wu Ping and his sworn brother Zhao Wenxuan, Qin Wenyuan chose an auspicious day to order the army to assemble.
With the sound of drums and horns, the 50,000-strong army came out of the east gate of "Dragon City". Generals such as Zhao Meng, Zhou Cang, Ruan Wenxiong, Luo Shiyi, Lu Qingling, Shang Fei, Su Jinwu, Kili Su Gu, Chen Lao Da, and Chen Lao Er were all wearing full body armor.
The generals gathered around Xu Tian, and saw the Qin army's banners fluttering and their halberds like a forest.
Under the big flag with the word "Qin", Xu Tian wears a purple and gold crown with two dragons playing with pearls, two long feathers flying high, and wears a soapy white robe with embroidery of sun and moon ripples, and black iron armor.
With his head tied up and his feet in field boots, his slender body, and his face as bright as the full moon, he looked like a mighty and handsome little general, which made many daughters of the people who stopped to watch secretly fall in love with him.
Within a few days, the army had reached an open area hundreds of miles east of "Yingzhou", which was less than a hundred miles away from the King of Korea in Liaodong.
At that time, the capital city of Liaodong still followed the organizational system of the Goguryeo people in the former Sui Dynasty. Wang Hui, a descendant of Wang Yang, a descendant of the Goguryeo people who had been the king of Liaodong during the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, succeeded him as king of Liaodong.
Speaking of Wang Hui's family, it is a surname of the Goguryeo tribe. His ancestors occupied Liaodong during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and continued to decline through the Later Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties. During the pre-Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Dynasty court did not tolerate local separatist forces, the Sui Dynasty emperor made three imperial edicts.
All attempts to send troops to Liaodong ended in failure. One can imagine how powerful the Wang family was in Liaodong.
The King of Koryo in Liaodong and the Gao family of the Koryo royal family who guarded the land of Andong are not synonymous. Although they are both called Goryeo, they conduct their own affairs.
The current king of Liaodong, Wang Hui, is eight feet tall and is accustomed to wielding two eight-edged silver hammers. This guy looks harmless, but his behavior is very perverse. He does not tolerate anyone who disobeys him. Fortunately, this guy is the most
He listened to the opinions of Murong Chong, the counselor around him, and obeyed his advice on all major military and state affairs.
Murong Chong was a member of the Murong family of the former Yan Dynasty. His ancestors also founded the country of Liaodong and became king. After being destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, he always wanted to restore the country. However, due to the rise of the Goguryeo tribe, the desire to restore the country for several generations was finally shattered.
From then on, the Murong people concentrated on practicing literature and martial arts without caring about worldly affairs.
Wang Hui's ancestor was well aware of the capabilities of the Murong family and sincerely invited the Murong family to serve as officials. As a result, there were already two generations of Murong family members working for the Liaodong Prince's Palace.
When Qin Wenyuan led his army to arrive less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Liaodong, there were spies from the palace who had already been among the common people in Liaodong and reported to the Liaodong army urgently.
In the palace of the Prince of Liaodong, Wang Hui was drinking and having fun with a group of civil and military officials. Dozens of beautiful Goguryeo women were singing and dancing in the hall. However, Wang Hui was accompanied by two beauties, and his face was rosy. He was very happy. However, a group of courtiers accompanied the music and watched.
The dancing women talked loudly, imitating the civil and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's entertainment, and tried to create some elegance like drinking and writing poetry.
Just when Wang Hui was living happily like a god, a general from the Liaodong Army came into the palace to report to the prince.
"Report to Your Majesty! According to the news from the spies, there is an army of 50,000 soldiers from the Xu Family of the Tang Dynasty approaching Liaodong. Their intentions are unknown. I hope Your Majesty will make plans in advance."
After hearing his subordinate's report, Wang Hui stood up and kicked over the low table in front of him, and said angrily.
"The Qin army in western Liaoning dares to covet my king's territory. I think it's a shame to recruit generals quickly. I want to see how capable the Qin army is."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, please wait! Murong thought that this matter should be discussed in the long term. He thought that Liaoxi was now under the control of Xu Tian. It was known that this son was good at planning, and most of his subordinates were tiger and wolf soldiers.
Now that the situation in western Liaoning has become prosperous, and the Qin army has won the hearts of the people, your Majesty should summon all the generals to make plans first, and put our army on stronger alert at all strategic points. We will make plans after we understand the purpose of the Qin army."
"Commander Murong's words are reasonable, and he has informed the generals of the Guards, City Guards, Brilliant Army, etc. to discuss matters in the palace."
After Wang Hui gave a series of instructions, he withdrew the singing prostitutes from the palace. The anger on the throne was still lingering.
Turning to the situation of the Qin army, Qin Wenyuan received a report from a scout and learned that there was a place called "Wuli Valley" twenty miles ahead, where nearly a thousand troops of the Liaodong Army were stationed.
Open the map and check it out, confirming that "Wuli Valley" is the outer barrier to enter Liaodong.
After receiving this information, Qin Wenyuan ordered Luo Shiyi and Lu Qingling to lead five thousand cavalry to capture this place.
The two generals received the order and sent their troops to the "Wuli Valley" Liao army station, and actually captured it without destroying it.
After the "Qin Family Army" occupied the important area of "Five Mile Valley", according to the terrain, 20,000 infantrymen set up pincer-shaped camps on both sides of the valley road. 30,000 cavalry were hidden in the dense forest road outside the valley to form the left and right wings. It was agreed that the cavalry would use red flares to make contact.
In the Chinese army's tent, Qin Wenyuan was listening to Ma San's report on the situation of the troops stationed in Liaodong City. He learned that Wang Hui, a Korean army of 150,000, was stationed in Liaodong City. He had many generals under his command. Wang Hui, the king of Liaodong, and his counselor Murong Chong were both skilled in martial arts.
It's amazing, and Murong Chong was very organized in managing the army, so the strength of the Liaodong City defenders should not be underestimated.
After learning of this situation, Qin Wenyuan sent an order to the entire army to reorganize their supplies and repair their supplies, and wait for the meeting with the legendary and all-powerful King of Liaodong tomorrow.
The same situation happened in the Liaodong Palace. According to reports from various spies, the Xu army had already occupied the dangerous location of "Five Mile Valley" at the gate of Liaodong. Towards the Liaodong Royal City was a wide and flat land with slight hills, which was convenient for cavalry to attack.
Following Murong's orders, the Liaodong Army sent 50,000 "Brilliant Army" as its main force to directly confront Xu's army outside the city, 50,000 "Guards" divided into left and right wings to wait for the opportunity, and 50,000 "City Guards" to defend the city.
The next day, when the sun rose in the sky and the breeze dawned, everything was refreshing. In front of the Qin army's formation, two hundred fully armed guards surrounded Qin Wenyuan and walked slowly to the formation of Liaodong's "Brilliant Army" at the bottom of the city.
, Zhou Cang pointed the iron rod forward at the opponent's general and shouted loudly.
"This is Zhou Cang, the leader of Marshal Qin's bodyguards. Please ask the King of Liao to speak to my Marshal in front of the formation!"
After a while, I heard the sound of "De De De" horse hoofs and saw the "Brilliant Army" formation opening up. Dozens of Liao army generals surrounded Liaodong Wang Wang Hui and Murong Chong and came out.
In front of the formation of the two armies, Qin Wenyuan was sitting on horseback holding a "painting pole and square halberd" in his hand, staring at the Liao army.
Wang Hui, who had two hammers hanging on his saddle, stepped out from the crowd, pointed his finger at Qin Wenyuan and shouted loudly.
"Are you Qin Wenyuan? What do you want to do by letting the army occupy Wuli Valley?"
"Your Majesty, I'm inviting you! A certain family is Qin Wenyuan. Liaodong has been our territory of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times. You and other small tribes like you didn't know that Tianwei has occupied it for many years. Now it's time to return it to the Tang Dynasty. Those who know how to do it will hand it over."
City, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will pass through and no chickens or dogs will be left behind."
"Hahaha! How dare you, a child like you, threaten me. If you return Wuli Valley, you still have a chance to make peace. Otherwise, you won't blame me for going on a killing spree."
"Really? Let's talk about it after the battle. At that time, I hope you will still be so heroic."
After the two of them finished speaking, they reined in their horses and returned to camp.
There was still a bit of hot wind in early autumn, and the withered leaves were falling in the wind. The beautiful autumn scenery was completely inconsistent with the solemn atmosphere of the two armies at this time.
The war drums sounded, and the Liaodong Army wanted to strike first, but saw tens of thousands of infantry in the vanguard of the "Brilliant Army" charging towards the Qin Army in a fan shape with shouts.
Just when the two armies were about to meet, the Qin army's mid-battle drums were beating loudly. Thousands of archers behind the shield soldiers fired crossbow arrows in unison, either directly or thrown. Arrows like wasps fell from the sky, ruthlessly harvesting the Liao army.
life.
The Liao army approaching the Qin army's formation was blocked by the Xu army's shield soldiers. The shield soldiers' spears disappeared and killed the approaching Liao army. In a short time, the Qin army's front was filled with countless corpses.
The first wave of the Liao army's attack resulted in numerous casualties. Facing the Qin army's formation, which was protected by a tortoise shell, it was impossible to break it. They had no choice but to withdraw their troops and make other plans. The Liao army, which had lost morale, began to retreat in all directions.
But I saw a red signal flare rising in the sky, and then I heard the trembling of the earth and the sound of horse hooves. Thousands of cavalry from the Xu Army on the left and right flanks attacked and charged into the retreating Liao Army. The formation of the "Brilliant Army" was in chaos. How could they resist it?
Here dwells the evil wolf that has entered the flock.
When Wang Hui and Murong Chong, the kings of Liao, who were watching the battle on the city tower, saw this, they thought they had a trick to lure the enemy into the trap, so they made the drum beat louder again, and the "Guards" on both wings were ordered to attack across the board, hoping to kill Xu Jun.
Thousands of cavalry.
The Qin Army fired two more red flares into the air, and the Xu Army's main cavalry hidden on both wings swarmed in. In the whirlwind of horse speed, they could see cavalry on horseback wielding crossbows and sabers. Everywhere they passed were stumps.
Arms were broken, and screams were heard everywhere.
When the cavalry launched a charge, the Qin army's infantry formed a formation and began to advance. Every long arrow fired by the sniper archers in the army would definitely kill the leader of the Liao army.
The soldiers of the Liao army, who had lost their command, were in separate formations and scattered into the sand. How could they effectively resist the enemy? Unfortunately, the nearly 100,000 troops were frightened and killed by the Xu army's 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
Wang Hui had never seen an army with such strength as the Qin army. One hundred thousand troops under his command were chased and massacred by tens of thousands of Qin troops.
The man's eyes were about to burst but he had no choice but to furiously command the archers on the tower to kill the Qin army. However, the Qin army was cunning and the entire army was outside the range of the tower defenders.
Hundreds of guards around Qin Wenyuan were on alert with firearms. The snipers received Qin Wenyuan's military orders to kill Wang Hui, the king of Liaodong, and all the Korean generals in the city tower, but ordered Murong Chong to be spared.
The snipers were ordered to attack separately. "Bang, bang, bang!" In the sound of dozens of clear gunshots, Wang Hui and many Goryeo generals were already in a state of confusion. The sudden change made Murong Chong frightened and hurriedly hid his body in the tower.
Going up to the secret place, the defenders of the city tower were in panic and each of them was looking for shelter.
Wang Hui died before a direct battle with Qin Wenyuan, and the life-long hero died in mysterious circumstances.
The panic of the defenders on the city tower caused the Liao army outside the city to lose all morale. Many generals of the "Brilliant Army" and "Guard Army" saw that Xu's army was unstoppable, and quickly shrank their troops and retreated back to the city. They ordered the four gates of Liaodong City to be tight.
close.
The Qin army and the Liao army won a complete victory in the first battle, and they marched to the Liaodong city where they could lay an arrow and set up their formation.
After Wang Hui's death, his son Wang Qiang, who hastily inherited the throne, relied on the advice of his mother and many officials loyal to Wang Hui in the royal court to make the Liao army hold on to the city, and at the same time sent messengers to Goryeo and Suwei to seek support.
Murong Chong was able to escape death, and Wang Tingli made another suggestion, asking the Liao Palace to send a messenger to pretend to have peace talks with Xu Jun, in order to trick Xu Tian into entering the city to carry out a secret killing plan.
The Queen of Liao came from a womanly family. Although she was cruel but had no independent opinions, she heard about Murong Chong's plan and told her son.
"I think Mr. Murong's plan is feasible. Wang Er can send someone to send a message to the Xu army to deceive Xu Tian into the city for peace talks, and have swordsmen and axemen ambush around the palace. Mr. Murong will then lead the royal masters to pretend to be royal officials and sneak into the palace to use this.
The palace throws the wine cup as a signal to kill the traitor general Xu Tian, so that Xu's army can retreat."
