Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 833 Seoul
In the second year of the Great Qin Kaiyuan, spring.

The commander of the right governor of Andong Road, the prefect of Daifang County, the military envoy of Youshenji, and the British Duke Xu Shiji led the newly-built Youshenji Army to Daifang County to take office.

This army recruited officers from the left and right shence armies in Liaoning and Andong as the backbone, and also recruited strong and brave soldiers from the immigrant Han people outside the pass, with a total of 4000 troops.

His lieutenants included Cheng Mingzhen, Fei Qingnu, Wang Bodang, Xu Yuanlang and others.Except for Cheng Mingzhen, who is an old brother of the Zhongwu Army, Fei, Wang and Xu were all joined by the former Wang Shichong and Li Mi after the end of the Central Plains War.The emperor was very lenient to these surrendered generals, and did not pursue the past actions, but let the past go, and granted them all official positions according to their talents.

This army completed its assembly after the year, and then carried a lot of supplies and food, and headed south all the way.

It was cold in early spring, and many Goguryeo rebels were encountered along the way, but under the command of Xu Shiji, the army still arrived at the destination as planned.

Seoul.

A long time ago, this place was the site of Zhenfan, a small indigenous country on the peninsula. To the south of Lelang County of the Han Dynasty, Zhenfan was to the west, Lintun was to the east, and Mahan, Chen Han and Mou Han are natives of the Three Hans.

Later, the Han Dynasty destroyed the two small states of Zhenfan and Lintun, and established the two counties of Zhenfan and Lintun. The indigenous people on the peninsula were only the southernmost Sanhan tribe, who were compressed and lingered in the southern coastal area.

Now after the imperial court wiped out Goguryeo in Xuantu County west of the Yalu River, it divided the Andong Road outside the pass into two.

Now there are only two counties in Andong Road, Lelang County and Daifang County.

Song Laosheng was the commander of Zuo Dudu and the prefect of Le Lang, stationed in Pyongyang, and commanded the Zuo Shenji Army.Xu Shiji was the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Commander, who commanded the Youshenji Army, led Fang Taishou, and stationed in Seoul.

Seoul was originally called Zhenfan, but this time the emperor gave it a new name, which is Daifang County.

For the soldiers of the Zuo Shenji Army who have just arrived in Seoul, this name is much more pleasing to the ear than the real fan. The city of the Han people will take root here in the future, and they will bring their families and the court will also move. More Han immigrants.

After Xu Shiji entered the city, he quickly and carefully handed over the soldiers and horses left behind by Song Laosheng.

The commander surnamed Hu told him that the situation here is not optimistic. Now the government and army only hold part of the city, and a large number of forts and villages are still in the hands of the rebels.

Because Daifang is farther away from Liaodong, the situation is more complicated now.

"Nowadays, not only are there many Goguryeo people making troubles, but the Baekje and Silla forces are also going north, trying to take advantage of the fire to loot and seize territory."

Xu Shiji knew that there were only Baekje and Silla in the south, and the two countries were countries established by the Three Hans. Among them, Baekje was special. Its main people were from Jinhan, but the royal family was the aristocrats who went south from the Yu Kingdom. , the situation is similar to that of Tuyuhun, where the King Khan and the senior nobles belonged to the Tuyuhun tribe of the Murong clan of Xianbei, but the main body was the Qiangdi tribe.

In the past, there were many indigenous tribes on the peninsula.

However, when Jizi crossed to the east to establish Korea, and later Weiman usurped Jizi Korea, then entered the peninsula in the Han Dynasty, established the four counties of Han, and then the Fuyu people in the north established Goguryeo, expanded all the way to the middle of the peninsula, and went north and south in turns. As a result, the aborigines in the northern and central parts of the peninsula were basically exterminated or assimilated, leaving Sanhan in the southern corner.

Up to now, only Baekje and Silla are left in Sanhan, and their strength is not bad.

Goguryeo had fought with them for hundreds of years before, and the three countries attacked each other. Baekje and Silla have been suppressed and lost a lot of territory.

Now that Goguryeo has fallen, the two countries also want to take the opportunity to recapture the old land, although most of these old lands were also snatched when Jizi Joseon, Weishi Joseon, and Han Dynasty withdrew in the past.

"When the Great Qin Dynasty was founded, both Baekje and Silla sent envoys to congratulate them, and they submitted a table to them. Is this kind of sneaky thing really beyond my reach?"

"These people are always arrogant. They only see the opportunities in front of them, how can they see so far away."

The commander told Xu Shiji that the situation here is very complicated.

"Now on Daifang's side, the Goguryeo people are also divided into two major forces, one part is the original Goguryeo nobles, they are trying to restore the Goguryeo country, and the other part is the old part of Yuan Yuan Taizuo, they are trying to restore The banner of Yuan's North Korea is actually just trying to take advantage of the chaos to seize the territory and rule the roost separately."

The Goguryeo people on both sides hate Qin Jun, but at the same time they are incompatible.

After several wars, the west side of Daibang County, that is, the former side of Zhenfan Kingdom, is mainly dominated by the old generals of the Yuan family. They supported Yuan boys to restore the Joseon Dynasty, while the old land of Lintun However, those old nobles of Goguryeo played the banner of restoring the Goguryeo country, embraced a royal family of Goguryeo, and established the Goguryeo Dynasty.

"The two sides are behind each other. North Korea in the west uses Silla in the southeast as an aid to attack Goguryeo, while Goguryeo in the east uses Baekje in the southwest as aid. After attacking North Korea, the fight is also in chaos. As for Baekje and Silla, they also took the opportunity to go northward to grab land and population."

Xu Shiji just smiled and said, "The Korean peninsula is [-] miles long, and I, Daqin, will not think too much of an inch, and will not give up an inch. Now I am the commander of the right governor of Andong Road, and I am also the prefect of Fangjun. Stationed in Seoul, then no one can take away a piece of land from me."

"Please go back and tell Governor Song that since I, Xu Shiji, have come, I will wipe out all disobedient ministers here, and make them all concubines of my Great Qin."

Xu Shiji ordered to use the newly defended Seoul and several surrounding castles as the base camp, and send Qingqi to explore the surrounding terrain and find out the enemy's traces, preparing to sweep the surrounding area with the autumn wind and restore the rule of Da Qin.

At the same time, he sent two soldiers, each leading a team, to the capitals of Baekje and Silla to bring his orders to the kings of Baekje and Silla.

"Silla and Baekje are the vassals of our Daqin. Today, the suzerain of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Shangguo, Daqin, crusades against traitors and rebels. No soldier from the two countries can cross the border into the territory of our Daqin Daifang County, and the two countries are not allowed to take in a rebellious soldier from Goguryeo. One death. Before the deadline of February, completely withdraw from Daifang County, and return all the people in Daifang County who were robbed and taken in, otherwise, it will not be said that it is not predictable!"

The peninsula is further north.

Between the white mountains and the black waters, Tudiji, the prefect of Sumo County, is mobilizing the Mohe people from the various tribes of Sumo River, and his memorial to the war to enter the court has been sent to Beijing by speeding through the newly built post road.

As long as the emperor makes a will, he will personally lead all the elites in the county to go south to participate in the suppression of the chaos, so as to prove to the Great Qin Emperor his infinite loyalty to the Great Qin and the Emperor.

In Pyongyang, the Commander of the Zuodu Governor of Andong Province, the Prefect of Le Lang, and the envoy of the Zuo Shenji Army, Song Laosheng, have ordered the entire army of the Zuo Shenji Army to enter a state of first-level combat readiness, and moved it to the counties below to speed up the transfer of food, grass and luggage.

At the same time, he also sent an order to the tribes of Mohe in Baishan in the northeast direction, asking them to gather the children of the tribe and prepare to join the DPRK to help suppress the rebellion.

And in Liaodong.

Luo Shixin, the king of Wei who stayed behind in Tokyo, who was guarding Tokyo, also issued a mobilization order. The left and right armies in Liaoxi and Liaodong are mobilizing to prepare for war, and the counties and counties are also doing their best to collect food and grass.
