Governor Fu Yulong was sitting in the main seat, with Hei Teochangzhi, Jin Liangtu, Guo Yuanzhen, An Shengan, An Zhongjing and others in the queue, discussing the work of wiping out the rebels in Baekje's homeland.
Except for Buyeo Yong, the former Baekje crown prince, who lacked interest and wandered to the sky, everyone else looked solemn because this was a long-standing problem.
When the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, they adopted the tactic of fierce tigers digging out the heart. They attacked over long distances, along the river and deep into the hinterland, and stormed the capital. In one battle, they forced the royal family to surrender.
This kind of annihilation was extremely efficient, but the consequence was that after the royal family surrendered, many rebel forces emerged in various places, gathering the remaining forces and raising the anti-Tang banner in an attempt to expel the Tang army.
Faced with such a situation, how many people did the Tang army leave to guard Baekje's homeland at that time?
Su Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of the march, returned to China, leaving behind 10,000 soldiers to guard the country.
Later, when the fighting was at its most intense, Li Zhi generously sent in another 7,000 reinforcements with a wave of his hand.
Gone.
No matter how small Baekje is, it still has hundreds of thousands of households and a population of over one million. Leaving 10,000 people to guard it is really suspected of being deliberately pretentious.
But the fact is that this was a last resort, because at that time the Tang Dynasty was going to war everywhere. In the same year, it attacked Xi, Khitan, and Tiele, followed closely by the attack on Goryeo and Uighur. The generals were either fighting or on their way to fight.
It's really not enough.
Fortunately, even with a very small number of troops, Liu Rengui made a brilliant appearance. Not only did he command the army skillfully, "the formations were orderly, the fight turned forward, and everyone was going down", he also used the contradictions within the resistance to disintegrate them, "showing off internal dissatisfaction,
If the heat does not last long, it is better to stick to it and wait for changes to take advantage of it."
This is a bit like after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's two sons set up their own businesses. Cao Cao saw that the Yuan brothers who did not attack but retreated and had no external pressure immediately started fighting among themselves. After fighting these two idiots, Cao Cao would come back.
Pack them together.
Liu Rengui followed a similar strategy, with a degree of relaxation. After a big victory, he stood still and the rebels were no longer under imminent pressure. Conflicts broke out, and his own people killed their own people. Morale was greatly reduced. Liu Rengui took advantage of the victory to pursue it again, winning four battles and four victories, and achieved great results.
The famous Battle of Baijiangkou drove the Baekje rebels and the Japanese who thought they could take advantage of the war to a crawl, completely cutting off the other side's desire to regain their country.
During this whole process, the Tang Dynasty's military strength did not exceed 20,000, which can be called a classic case of defeating more with less. But then again, the power was the power, but disaster was avoided in the end.
The leader of the resistance army was taken down by Liu Rengui. There were internal conflicts, some died in battle, and some surrendered. However, many rebel soldiers survived and submitted for a period of time. Then they were instigated and used by Silla to continue fighting against the Tang Dynasty.
Since Hei Te Changzhi and Jin Liangtu arrived, they started to mobilize their troops non-stop.
At this time, Jin Liangtu pointed to the map of Baekje drawn by the internal guards, and said coldly: "The remaining rebel parties in Jeonghyeonseong, Imcunseong, and Doshiwondake have been wiped out. According to the accounts of the captured Silla traitors, where they are now gathered
Yu’s last location is Zhouliucheng.”
Hei Te Changzhi showed a complicated expression and said bluntly: "I once led the resistance army here to resist the Tang Dynasty. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the waterway is convenient. It is an important military location. This resistance must be suppressed.
The army will be completely wiped out, and after our Tang army arrives, we can attack Silla without any worries."
An Shengan asked: "Has the leader of Silla been confirmed?"
Jin Liangtu said: "I'm sure it's Jin Qinchun, the younger brother of the former Taijiao Gan Jin Gengxin."
Guo Yuanzhen had memorized the information about Silla officials countless times during this period. He was very familiar with it, and his expression became solemn: "This person has a distinguished status in Silla, but he can come to Baekje's homeland to take risks in person, in order to let this group of people know it."
The remnants believed that the Silla people were with them."
Jin Liangtu sneered: "It's a pity that he didn't expect that I had already contacted his deputy general Jin Pinri, and Jin Pinri decided to abandon the dark side and join the light!"
Guo Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "Jin Sima must be careful not to believe the lieutenant's words and beware of fraud!"
Jin Liangtu explained: "I didn't believe it at first, but recently I exchanged letters with Jin Pinri and combined with the intelligence of the internal guards, I determined that this person has made many meritorious deeds, but because he was born in the fifth grade, he was unable to become the general manager of Shangzhou. Year after year
As a deputy general, I have long been dissatisfied..."
"I immediately moved him with emotion and reason, and explained that our Tang Dynasty has clear rewards and punishments. As long as you have merit, you can be promoted. With his talent, if he abandons the secret and turns to the light, Jisu Prefecture will definitely be in a high position in the future. Only then did he tell the news about Jin Qinchun
transfer."
"Although it cannot be completely ruled out that Jin Qinchun was ordered to commit fraud, the resentment of this deputy general cannot be faked. If he really dares to do such a thing, the general will not be able to tolerate him in the future!"
Guo Yuanzhen praised: "Jin Sima has good reasons, but Silla only respects bones and bones, burying talents, and the country deserves to be destroyed!"
Jin Liangtu stroked his beard and smiled, then became serious again: "But according to what Jin Pinri said, Jin Qinchun has seen that our Tang Dynasty is going to use a large number of troops against Silla. Recently, he has repeatedly sent scouts back to report the news, although they are currently being guarded by the internal guards.
Intercepted and killed on the way, but I'm afraid some fish may have slipped through the net..."
Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "It is unrealistic to not send back any news at all. Now Silla has lost the opportunity. Even if it wakes up now, it is too late. At this time, the country is urgently mobilizing, and more outbreaks are bound to occur.
There are many conflicts, but the Shaolin monks who have sneaked into the royal capital can actually play a greater role."
Jin Liangtu nodded slightly: "Well, I will ask Jin Pinri to cooperate internally and externally at the most critical moment to capture Zhouliu City and kill all the Silla thieves and rebel loyalists!"
Hei Te Changzhi moved his mouth, but hesitated to speak, but finally said: "There has been some news in the army recently. It seems that some young men are eager to serve the country and have repeatedly asked for battle. This time, during the battle in Zhouliucheng, we should also pay attention to them. Don't be kind.
He did something bad."
Guo Yuanzhen asked, "I wonder who they are?"
Hei Te Changzhi fell silent. After all, he was a surrendered vassal general, and his identity was still a bit embarrassing. However, An Zhongjing sneered: "Aren't they the British Duke and Zhou Guogong? These two have close contacts and have gathered a group of dependents.
, as if he was going to charge into the Silla King's City with the "Thousand-Character Classic" in hand, and capture Jin Bomin alive!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now everyone in Xiongjin knows that a certain Duke can't put it down, so these words are a bit damaging. Everyone almost laughed out loud, but Guo Yuanzhen made a guarantee
: "The situation is very good now. No one wants to see changes. Don't worry, I will clean up the atmosphere."
Everyone nodded. Except for the feeling of calmness, others did not believe it. After all, those noble disciples had too much background, and the Duke of the country was taking the lead in causing rebellion. Can they still be beheaded?
Sometimes I know that something will happen, but I can only watch and feel helpless. That's it...
After the meeting dispersed, Guo Yuanzhen first summoned a few close internal guards and asked about the situation: "When you have been staring at the two princes these days, how many times have you made a special appearance?"
Neiwei said: "It appeared five times and became more and more frequent. They were a little wary at first, but then they were persuaded by that group of people and became more and more bold. Now they gather openly and even start to train their personal guards, probably to suppress them."
It won’t be long!”
Guo Yuanzhen nodded slightly, knowing that the heat was almost there, and now everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up into the sky and was surprised to find a black spot approaching from far away.
After a moment, the black dot enlarged, and it was a divine eagle, crossing arcs and observing the movements in all directions. Guo Yuanzhen felt relieved: "Liu Lang is finally here!"
He and Ying'er were also old friends. When he went to Lingnan to investigate the Changsun family's murder case, he took Ying'er with him on the way. Knowing that this person would have to pretend for a while, he withdrew his gaze and said to his confidants: "You guys are also doing this these days.
Thank you for your hard work. Please withdraw from now on. Our internal guards are not wet nurses. We have done our best to take care of them until now!"
…
"The inner guards finally lost their patience and stopped monitoring us!"
As soon as the people following him withdrew, Li Jingye noticed it first and immediately notified his good friend Wu Chengsi.
Yes, the two princes have become good friends now.
Wu Chengsi had previously looked down on Li Jingye's seasickness, but when Li Jingye came to visit him, he was still very surprised. After all, the current Zhou Guogong was a character that even Guo Yuanzhen had to fawn over, not to mention Li Ji's direct descendant.
Sun?
Li Jingye also wanted to use this idiot, but he also put on a smile and patiently taught "The Thousand-Character Essay" for a while. As a result, his blood pressure soared and he almost died, but it was still fruitful and the two parties finally formed a friendship.
With Li Jingye's military connections and Wu Chengsi's relatives, a group of distinguished disciples led by Li Jongxiu immediately gathered under their command. They were giving advice every day, scolding Fang Qiu, who could be worth a million dollars.
soldiers.
Now comes the opportunity to practice.
Li Jingye directly brought the map, pointed at Zhouliucheng and said: "Brother Wu, please see, this city is currently occupied by thieves. Most of them are Baekje survivors who do not accept my education from the Tang Dynasty, and a small number are directly from Silla."
Any thieves who make trouble here can be killed. We have a plan to destroy them in one battle!"
Wu Chengsi had actually heard a lot of similar content recently. Seeing the murderous look on Li Jingye's eyebrows, he couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Da Lang, are you serious?"
Li Jingye hurriedly said: "Of course it's true. Don't you want to behead the enemy and make achievements?"
Wu Chengsi frowned: "Of course I do, but disobeying orders and sending troops hastily would be a serious crime!"
Li Jingye said: "We are under the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, and we must obey orders, but Brother Wu is the military governor, and you have the power to order us to fight!"
Wu Chengsi shook his head: "I am a sinecure with no real power. I must obey General Liu's orders. No one is willing to listen to me."
Li Jingye smiled and said: "We are willing to listen. Duke Zhou's order is a transfer order. It is the same now as it was in Duke Bian's mansion at that time. You sit peacefully in the mansion and let us capture the enemy. The credit is indispensable to you. Most of them are for one thing."
Beautiful thing!”
Wu Chengsi's eyes moved, but he thought of that person who had taken care of similar situations: "But this responsibility has to be borne by me. If you fail, it will be a big sin on my part..."
Li Jingye patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, our ancestors are generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. Even a small country in Liaodong can definitely win the war!"
When Wu Chengsi thought of their fathers and ancestors, his heart suddenly moved and his lips twitched.
Li Jingye rolled his eyes. After these days of contact, he already understood what this person's obsession was. He approached him and struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Wu, don't you want to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother? After this great achievement, the Queen Mother will definitely meet you...
…”
The password is correct.
Wu Chengsi's breathing became heavy, and his heart skipped a beat. He threw away his instructions and responsibilities: "Okay, if you win the battle, I will also get a share of the credit. How do you say that? Everyone is happy!"
Li Jingye held his hands and laughed: "Everyone is happy!"
