Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 822: Resist!No help!

From this letter, Qin Wenyuan already knew that Li Shimin acquiesced in his claiming the title of king. Although he did not issue a decree to confirm and grant the iron certificate of the alchemy, it was just for the emperor to protect the face of the royal family from the coercion of his subjects, so that he could understand the holy will and make great achievements. At that time, it was justifiable for the imperial court to entrust him with the title of prince, and Li Jing sent troops to Korea, but it was just the imperial court's strategic purpose to have Koryo as a vassal state in the future.

Qin Wenyuan didn't mind that Li Shimin had such thoughts, didn't it mean that the court wanted some benefits?Why don't you place Li Jing's army in the battle against "Baekje" so that "Silla" who has long surrendered to the imperial court can defeat "Baekje", which is also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and stabilize the situation on the entire peninsula? The three-party situation, after a little time, with the support of the Xu family behind the development of Gaoqin County's ruling Goryeo, to make the country rich and strong, it is afraid that "Silla" and "Baekje" will not be brought under the rule. ?
As the saying goes: "You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder!"

Li Shimin and Qin Wenyuan each had their own plans, so they decided to speak based on their final strength.

Gossip less, and after Wen Yanbo finished reading the imperial edict, Wei Xiaojie saluted Qin Wenyuan after receiving the edict.

"Wei and Lord Qin are both officials of the Tang Dynasty. I implore you to return Gubeikou to the Youzhou garrison so that the relationship between the two armies will become normal and no longer kill each other. I wonder if Lord Qin can do what Wei wants?"

"It's fine to return it. However, this king has to speak here in front of many ministers of the court. Will Mr. Wei guarantee that the Youzhou army will no longer go out to harass the people? If not, then put Youzhou under the rule of the king. Let the Qin army serve as a barrier to the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, and Lord Wei can lead the Youzhou army back to Beijing to enjoy the blessings."

Faced with Qin Wenyuan's proposal, Wei Xiaojie naturally did not dare to say more, and helplessly turned his eyes to Li Jing and other courtiers for help.

Li Jing leaned forward and said to Qin Wenyuan:
"Okay! You don't have to joke with Lord Wei anymore, just return Gubeikou to the Youzhou Army. I can go with you to Liaodong to discuss how to attack Goryeo. I will wait for the emperor's order to conquer Goryeo. Just follow your arrangement, let's see if you have the ability to command the army."

On the side, Wen Yanbo, Liu Dewei and other courtiers also persuaded the two armies to reconcile.

Qin Wenyuan earned enough face, and ordered Zhou Cang, the head of the personal guards around him, to pass on his military orders, so that Xu Jun was ready to hand over the defense of "Gubeikou" with the "Youzhou" army, and Xu Jun's troops, who were going to "Youzhou" to encircle and suppress Li You, left the customs. , The whole army returned to the "Pingzhou" station to rest and then make the delivery.

After resolving many major issues in "Youzhou", Li Jing ordered Liu Dewei to lead thousands of soldiers to escort Li You back to Beijing, and brought Su Dingfang and the tens of thousands of Tang troops under his command under his command, and temporarily stationed in "Youzhou" to stand by and disbanded several states to participate in counter-insurgency The government soldiers belong to the establishment.

The next day, Li Jing, Wei Xiaojie and Qin Wenyuan's troops left "Youzhou" to "Gubeikou" pass, while Liu Dewei, Wen Yanbo and others led the army to escort Li You back to the capital.

After passing the "Gubeikou" pass, Wei Xiaojie's envoys took over the Qin army's defense and bid farewell to Li Jing and Qin Wenyuan.

Xue Rengui got the order, although he was dissatisfied with the Qin army gaining power with the advantage of weapons, but the situation was stronger than others, so he had to endure the enmity with Qin Wenyuan to kill the teacher and arrange defenses in the army.

In the army of Qin, Li Jing got to see Qin Wenyuan's wife, Princess Caixia of Khitan, and seeing this female general's heroic appearance, he couldn't help secretly praising Qin Wenyuan's martial arts skills, even the imperial daughter's kung fu is different from ordinary people.

Nima!This kind of tigress is the only one who dares to make her sleep beside her.

As Li Jing thought about it, a wretched smile appeared on his face like Cheng Yaojin, which made people see that this old thing was also a child of disrespect.

Perhaps, as long as ordinary people are of a certain age, they will look like eggs in front of the juniors they admire...

Liu Dewei and Wen Yanbo escorted Li You back to Beijing, and they arrived in Chang'an within a few days without any hindrance.

Looking at Chang'an City, Li You finally had the feeling that things are right and people are wrong. He thought that he was born noble but his life was so low. After today, he was completely unknowable about whether he would live or die. For a moment, he felt a little sad, and tears blurred his eyes.

A few days later, in the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin enumerated Li You's crimes. Looking at his disheveled son kneeling in front of the steps, he was really heartbroken. Died in Taiji Palace Introspection.

Li You's death is death, however, Li Shimin never dreamed that Li You's death would lead to Prince Li Chengqian's plan of rebellion.

This is a later story, and I will talk about it later!
After the Taiji Palace dealt with Li You, Li Shimin rewarded the ministers who had made great contributions to the suppression of the rebellion, and appointed Du Xingmin as the governor of Bazhou, ranking among the nobles of Nanyang County. The army of "Youzhou" marched eastward to Koryo, and Su Dingfang, who had committed crimes in "Youzhou", made a crime with the army and made meritorious service. After the Eastern Expedition was over, he would be rewarded together.

After receiving the order, Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others went to "Liaozhou" city together with Qin Wenyuan.

From entering "Pingzhou", Li Jing and others saw a thriving scene along the way. The degree of prosperity was much stronger than that of the state city under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. We had to admire Qin Wenyuan's administration strategy and arrived at "Dragon City". At that time, only those public schools, the happy appearance of school-age children of all ethnic groups carrying cloth bags to school, made Datang, the military god, sigh with emotion.

"This is the way to educate the people! Blindly relying on force to conquer can only obtain short-term stability. Only changing people's thinking is the long-term way to stabilize the country."

It is Su Dingfang's perception of Qin Wenyuan that has changed a lot at this time. Thinking of the evaluation of Qin Wenyuan by some courtiers in the court, it is all saying that this person does not take the heroes of the world seriously because of his military power. He really said: "Listen! It’s better to see it with your own eyes!” Qin Wenyuan’s talent is beyond their ability to know, not to mention his strict military discipline, he is also concerned with people’s livelihood, just look at the roads under his jurisdiction, and the situation of vehicles and horses on the roads. Today's Qingming situation in Liao.

This fellow felt a little blushed because he listened and believed, and when the officials of "Dragon City" and "Qi Wangfu" were having a banquet, Su Dingfang respectfully saluted Qin Wenyuan at the banquet, and said sincerely.

"Su thinks that he is good at both culture and martial arts, and he often compares it with the adults. Now that he has seen the military and political affairs under the rule of the adults, he feels ashamed. He knows that it is difficult to hold a candle to him. In the past, if he offended him, he still hopes that he will forgive him. "

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile on the throne.

"General, you don't have to be so polite, let alone belittle yourself. This king believes that an official is powerful if he pretends to be the common people in his heart. There is a saying: When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! We are officials, shouldn't we Can the people under his rule live and work in peace? It seems that those officials who only care about their own interests and don’t know whether the people are alive or not are ashamed by this king. Now that the matter in Youzhou has come to an end, the general does not need to mention it anymore. During the official career, most of the people are the most important, so that the people under the rule are very fortunate."

Li Jing and many officials of the palace were moved by Qin Wenyuan's words, and couldn't help applauding.

"Well said! Your kid's ideas can always surprise me a lot."

"My lord's words, I will keep them in mind!"

At this moment, Su Dingfang suddenly felt admiration for Qin Wenyuan, secretly thinking that good ministers like Qin Wenyuan are the real pillars of the Tang Dynasty.

……

Li Jing received the order to lead the army to the east, and after arranging many things to organize the army, he planned the strategy of marching into "Korea" with Qin Wenyuan and other generals in Hutang of the palace all day long.

In the center of the Tiger Hall, in front of the large sand table envied by Li Jing, Su Dingfang and other generals of the Tang Army, Qin Wenyuan expressed his thoughts.

"Lord Li, a part of the Qin family army has landed in "Silla" and formed an alliance with that country. This king wants you to lead the Tang army to land in the seaport of "Baekje" on a naval warship, and join the "Silla" coalition forces to start a confrontation. The military action of "Baekje" made "Koryo" lose its support. At that time, the Tang army and the Qin army attacked the "Koryo" country from both sides, and great things could be achieved."

For Qin Wenyuan's strategy, Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others certainly knew the deep meaning of it. To put it bluntly, the Qin army was able to conquer the "Korea" royal city with one army without the joint action of the Tang army. It's nothing more than gaining benefits and strategic presence here. In this case, Qin Wenyuan's strategy of sending the Tang army to fight in "Baekje" is naturally understandable.

"Yes! Then a certain family led an army of tens of thousands to land in Baekje, but the navy army wants you to coordinate a lot."

"This is not a problem. After the Tang army gathers in Dengzhou, how about this king order Xu Shilu, the commander of the Dengzhou navy, to send a warship to help?"

Qin Wenyuan and Li Jing had a good plan. After nearly two months of reorganizing the army, in May of the tenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Wenyuan personally led the army across the Yalu River and entered the "Pogou" city of Koryo, so that Luo Shiyi led a group of soldiers to launch an attack on Koryo. The strategy of continuous harassment within the borders of the country is aimed at severely damaging the economy of Koryo, making it impoverished and destitute, causing the people to shake the kingdom and harming the morale of the Koryo army.

At this time, Li Jing had already led his army into Qi to Dengzhou, and Qin Shilu got Qin Wenyuan's military order to prepare hundreds of warships.

Li Jing ordered Su Dingfang to be the forward general of the Tang army, and led the general Zuo Xiaowei Liu Boying and other tens of thousands of Tang troops to launch the battle of landing on "Baekje" here.

At the beginning of the strategy, Xu Jiajun, who had already been stationed on the border between "Silla" and "Baekje", joined forces with the [-] troops of "Silla" to start a war of harassment against "Baekje", so that the Tang army who wanted to land on "Baekje" at the Xiongjinkou support.

Just when "Baekje" was busy dispatching troops to deal with the coalition forces from "Silla" country, the sea in front of the mouth of Xiongjin was indeed covered with thousands of sails, which was extremely spectacular.

When dozens of warships approached Xiongjinkou, they lined up in a line, and hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, causing heavy damage to the defenders of "Baekje" stationed at Xiongjinkou, causing countless casualties. When the enemy was in chaos, Su Dingfang led the army Forcibly landed and successfully seized the defensive positions at Xiongjinkou, so that Tang troops continued to land and fight.

After the army landed and assembled, Su Dingfang led his army to capture Xiongjinkou and gained a firm foothold.

However, the Qin army and the Xinluo coalition army who attacked "Baekje" from the direction of "Silla" did not go so smoothly. Regardless of the cost, the Luo army launched a charge ahead of the left flank of the Qin army regardless of the strategy negotiated by the two armies, causing the Qin army to fight passively, with heavy casualties, and finally defeated the Baekje army led by Jiebo.

Su Dingfang led the army to meet with the coalition forces that had defeated the Baekje army, and the three armies marched up the river together, heading straight for the "Sibi" royal city of Baekje. Twenty miles away from the royal city, they encountered the overwhelming soldiers of Baekje, but they could see everywhere. The enemy army is menacing.

But Su Dingfang calmed down, the Qin army gave up the rift with the Xinluo army, and the three-way army, dozens of generals worked together.

Thanks to the strong combat capability of the Qin army, the coalition forces negotiated to lead the Xu army, and the Tang army and Silla army would fight the Baekje army on the left and right wings.

Under the gloomy sky, the sound of drums and horns, and the hiss of killing everywhere.

This guy Su Dingfang used a long spear to attack the north. Taking the head of the enemy general in the chaos army was like picking something out of a bag. The powerful rocket crossbowmen in the Qin army shot rockets, and the arrows that shook and blazed, tearing and burning There are countless dead enemy troops, and every sharp arrow of a bow and arrow sniper will take away the life of the enemy general, but the Silla army is like a red-eyed beast. It does not care about its own casualties and bravely kills the enemy, which shows how much the hatred between the two countries is. deep.

The sun continued to burn till noon, and there were indeed corpses strewn all over the ground, and rivers of blood formed.

Amidst the sobbing horns, the Baekje Army finally retreated to the city unbearable casualties.

The Tang Army, Qin Army, and Silla Army also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, at this time, Silla had reinforcements arriving in time to replenish the coalition forces.

In this battle, the three-way army beheaded more than ten thousand enemies. The grisly scene has made the soldiers who participated in this battle unforgettable for several years.

Su Dingfang led the Tang army, the Qin army, and the Xinluo army to pursue the victory all the way. When the troops approached the city of "Sibi", all kinds of siege weapons of the coalition forces were deployed, and tens of thousands of troops formed their formations. Bao, the soldiers of Baekje were panicked, and the people in the city were all terrified.

King Yici of "Baekje" felt that the situation was over, and fled to the northern border city with his prince Fuyulong. powerless.

Prince Fuyulong's son Fuyu Wensi was dissatisfied with his uncle's self-proclaimed king, so he ordered the left and right to open the city gate at night and go over the city to surrender to the attacking coalition forces. Most of the people in the city fled out of the city after learning about it.

Su Dingfang had to help Yu Wensi return to surrender, and quickly sent troops to the city to set up banners when the city gate was opened.

Fuyu Taide's nephew opened the city gate and led the people to surrender to the Tang army.

Mo Naihe, this fellow saw that further resistance would not help the matter, on the contrary, many lives were lost, so he restrained the soldiers under his command to throw down their weapons and surrender to the city, asking for disposal.

Su Dingfang led the army to capture Baekje King City. After a little pacification in the city, the three-way army continued to march northward. Ministry surrendered.
