It's over. Li Er went to attack Goryeo with great enthusiasm this time. He will definitely come back disgraced. Maybe he has come back now. As long as he is from Guanzhong, no one will not feel sad for Emperor Taizong's three expeditions to Goryeo and the three failed returns.
, because these three expeditions were not because the soldiers were not brave, nor because they could not keep up with the food and fodder, nor because there were people behind them, but simply because of the time, location, and people, these three conditions that determine the outcome of the war, Datang did not account for any of them.
.
It was a smart move for the emperor to use war to divert domestic conflicts. However, now that the Tang Dynasty had just reached peace, everyone wanted to enjoy a few years of peace and had little interest in the distant Goryeo. Naturally, Goryeo's maids and
Except for slaves, if the emperor went on an expedition to Goryeo with the slogan of plundering slaves, Yun Ye guaranteed that he would return with a great victory.
Because the most capable guys in the Tang Dynasty are the pirates led by Yun Ye, and the other group are the powerful slave traders. These bastards are all from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
After you are over forty, you can quit the imperial army. The violence industry in the Tang Dynasty was particularly prosperous. Escort bureaus were opened all over the place. People who opened escort bureaus tried their best to make good deals with the wealthy people in the green forest so that their escort agencies could
Pass safely through other people's boundaries.
Nowadays, the escort agencies have begun to be organized and premeditated to cause trouble for those bandits. When you are a soldier, you have to prepare your own armor and weapons. You can't just leave them at home and let them rust. There are fewer and fewer damn thieves.
When they came out to rob merchants, the cost of bodyguards was drastically reduced. In order to let the bandits rob them, they provoked the bandits themselves. If they were lucky, the bandits were wiped out. Not only could the ill-gotten gains of the bandits be returned to themselves, but also the government would also
You can get reward money.
The trade of slave traders only came into being after Hou Junji conquered all the grasslands. The imperial court no longer restricted the nobles from dividing the grasslands. The Yun family's grassland became a model, and cattle and sheep were constantly transported back every year.
In Chang'an, I don't know how many people are jealous of this business. Now that the pastures under the Yinshan Mountains are gone, they are focusing on the pastures elsewhere.
Hou Junji cleaned the grassland so clean that he couldn't even find any herdsmen, so how could he herd the sheep? Who would herd the sheep for himself? He couldn't just carry the whip himself, so slave traders came into being. They went east to Korea,
From Hanhai in the north to the plateau in the west, the Xingxingxia Gorge in Tuyuhun has never been stable, and people are always missing.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty were very unethical. As long as the slave traders entered the checkpoints of the Tang Dynasty and paid the full tax, they would recognize the people you brought back as your goods, and the tax they paid would be the cattle and horse tax.
Yun Ye's mind was racing. He just didn't want to shift his thoughts to Li Er's expedition. One year had passed, and no matter what happened to Goryeo, he couldn't do anything about it.
Li Anlan packed up again and walked to the living room to get revenge on Yun Ye. The two slaps just now were very painful. There were red marks on them. However, he saw Yun Ye sitting alone on a chair and mumbling in a daze. He quietly approached and heard Yun Ye say.
.
"Why are you so anxious? What if we let Korea fight for another two years? Two wolves are fighting. If a tiger jumps out, the two wolves will immediately cease fighting. Maybe they will bite the tiger together as soon as they turn around.
Even if you want to attack Goryeo, you can at least bring the Lingnan Navy with you. How much effort will you have to exert to pull out those cities one by one with just the army?
Xuantu City, Hengshan City, Gaimu City, Momi City, Liaodong City, Baiyan City, Maigu City, Yinshan City, Houhuang City, plus the repaired Dawang City, when you attack Pyongyang, Liaodong's
Severe cold will come, and the only way is to retreat. You are really making yourself uncomfortable. Do you know that this will encourage Cheng Qian's arrogance?
Fengchan Taishan is a good strategy to bring down the wealthy families in Shandong. Why use the more fierce battle of Liaodong to bring down Shandong? It is not enough to have a Wang Bo, and prepare to have another Li Bo? "
Li Anlan whispered: "Husband, are you not optimistic about my father's military expedition?"
"It's too hasty. Zhang Jian, who is most familiar with Goryeo, and I are not included in the expedition. Although His Majesty is going on this expedition with Bai Qisi, Cheng Qian, Qing Que, our family and the spies left behind by the nobles.
They are still very unfamiliar with Liaodong. I think there will be problems with the climate and remote supply lines."
"My father said that there was only one corner missing from Jiuying's great settlement, so he refused to listen to anyone and insisted on marching eastward. Wei Zheng tried hard to persuade him, saying that this time he would make the same mistake as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He was demoted by the emperor's decree and could not go there.
Jing, I can only think about my fault at home. Chu Sui tried his best to persuade me, but his father rebuked him in court. Husband, please, don’t talk about this matter. When I knew that my father was preparing to attack Goryeo, I was also very worried.
A little bit of joy, that is, you have already gone to sea, and you are completely not involved in the Eastern Expedition.
If you are still interested, I can accompany you back to your room to sleep. Just don’t think about it. Cheng Qian’s intention to stay in Shandong is unknown, and our family will not interfere with it.” Li Anlan’s last few words were decisive, holding Yun Lan’s arm.
Ye's arm is about to go back to the bedroom.
"Okay, I don't want to, go and get me a bowl of noodles to eat. Remember, the bowl needs to be big, spicy and sour to cover the noodles. If this bowl of rice is comfortable to eat, maybe I will forget about this."
I'll take you back to Yongzhou after a short rest to see if you can have another child." Yun Ye patted Li Anlan on the back and ordered.
"Another bowl of noodles. The requirements are the same as the previous one. It would be best if you bring two more cloves of garlic." Li Tai's voice came from the direction of the Moon Gate. Yun Ye's words just now were a bit loud and he heard them.
.
Li Anlan's blushing face turned red. She glared at Yun Ye angrily and walked out of the hall. She kicked Li Tai on the calf. Li Tai yelled, "Oh, I heard it."
As for noodles, I didn’t hear about having a baby.”
Seeing Li Anlan walking away, Li Tai sat down on the chair and said, "The trouble is big. My father ordered Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun State, to be the Minister of Punishment and the Chief of Pyongyang Road March, and Zuo Nandang, the Governor of Luzhou, to be the Pyongyang Road Marching Officer."
The deputy general manager of the march, Ran Rende, Liu Yingxing, Zhang Wenqian, Pang Xiaotai, Cheng Mingzhen and others were the general managers. They led 43,000 soldiers from Jiang, Huai, Ling, and Xijing. They set out from Laizhou in 500 warships and crossed the sea to Pyongyang.
At the same time, the British Duke Li Shiji was appointed as the general manager of the march to Liaodong Road, and Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites and King of Jiangxia, was appointed as the deputy manager of the march to Liaodong Road.
Wu Heita and Li Yuanzheng served as the commander-in-chief of the march, and led 60,000 infantry and cavalry to march from the land to Liaodong. At the same time, they issued an edict to the Khitan chief Yu Gouzhe, Xi Chief Su Zhi, Silla King Jin Shande, Baekje King Buyu Yiji and other countries.
The commander led the troops to assist in the battle.
Yezi, it’s been a year now. We don’t know anything in Lingnan. You are most familiar with Liaodong. Tell me, can my father defeat Goryeo in one battle this time and make Kyushu complete?”
Yun Ye smiled and said nothing. Li Tai's words were full of excitement. He thought that with the elites of the Tang Dynasty, the little Goryeo would definitely be defeated in one battle. At this time, Yun Ye asked Yun Ye what he wanted to hear.
Listen to compliments.
"Your Majesty has cultivated martial virtues, and his virtues have been passed down to the people. The smoke in his breath is colorful, and there are faint thunders between sitting and sleeping. The majesty of the emperor is enough to conquer all directions. This time he wields the sword of the emperor to attack the unconquered ministers. All the people below are tigers, leopards, and bears."
My generation, the mere Goryeo Dynasty will definitely turn into dust before His Majesty’s divine power. All we have to do is sing and chant it.”
After listening to Yun Ye's praises, Li Tai's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "You said my father will be defeated?"
"Which of my words were ominous words that said His Majesty would be defeated? I was singing praises, not Wu Zixu who hung his head on the city gate and cursed the army. You and I are very familiar with each other. I will not agree to spreading rumors randomly." Yun Ye said.
It sounds festive, but the eyes are cold and there is no intention of smiling at all.
"Then what should I do? Although you haven't fought many battles and don't know the situation in Liaodong, you seem to be talking nonsense here, but why do I feel uneasy? Obviously, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Shigui have more temperament
It makes people feel believable, but now I feel that your feeling is right." Li Tai had already started to talk nonsense, his lips were trembling badly.
"If you want me to die early, just say these things everywhere. You don't know how Mikuni Tianfeng died. The cause of his death was talkative. What's more, I haven't talked too much. Everything is your speculation." Yun
Ye took two large bowls of noodles from the maid's plate, pushed one bowl to Li Tai's side, picked up a bowl of noodles with a lot of savouriness, and began to eat with a loud grunt. The mixed rapeseed is always right.
appetite.
Li Tai pushed away his job and said: "Yezi, let's go to Liaodong now and take these three giant ships with us. I believe the battle situation in Liaodong will make use of these three ships."
"No need, there are five hundred warships, enough for an army to roam the bay. In fact, we have defeated the Goryeo Navy. Where do you think the hundreds of warships of that pseudo-queen Gaoyangzi came from? They are all Goryeo Navy.
We dragged Goryeo's most elite navy to Nanyang and beat them badly. This was enough.
Your Majesty's war has been going on since we just left. I didn't understand why Your Majesty asked Yan Lide to build 400 old warships in Hongzhou, Raozhou and Jiangzhou. Now I know that he just wants to fight against Goryeo.
The idea must have been brewing in his mind for a long time. His Majesty not only hid it from the Koreans, but also from us.
The war must be at an advanced stage now. By the time we take another two months to rush along the coast to Liaodong, His Majesty may have returned to the Tang Dynasty. We will not be able to catch up with this battle."
Seeing that Li Tai was not in the mood to eat, Yun Ye finished his own meal, then brought Li Tai's bowl over and continued eating. His body was severely damaged and needed to be replenished. (To be continued)
