Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Golden autumn October.

Gaozang, the treasure king of Goguryeo, sent his son Gao Funan to Chang'an, and presented to the Tang Dynasty a pair of young jade claws and sea greens, ten branches of century-old wild ginseng, and ten Goguryeo horses, and asked for peace.

Fan Zheng chuckled. The Five-Sword General was still as proud as ever. Even if he wanted to bow to the Tang Dynasty, he would not send his son out to embarrass him.

Ahem, at this point, Mr. Qian really has to be grateful to his old man, otherwise he would have to pretend to be his grandson.

Gao Funan had a look of helplessness on his face, and repeatedly stressed that "a belt with water" and "living in harmony" were forgotten, but he forgot that "a belt with water" is never a good word.

As for Bozhuo City, which was frequently attacked, Changkou, which was washed away so much that even rats would cry when they saw it, and the thirty-mile no-man's land on the seaside, Gao Funan didn't mention a word, as if he had never encountered any of these.

Ren Yaxiang, the Minister of War, smiled and said: "No! The Tang Dynasty is still pointing to Goguryeo to help train troops."

This guy is bad, even if it is the truth, don’t tell him!
The reason why the boat master has a long mouth is to adapt to the freshly baked treasure ship;
The annual attack on Yalushui is also to allow the new recruits from Zhuzhe Chongfu to adapt to the battlefield.

With the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, if the ten surnames of the Western Turks and the Tibetans on the plateau were not prepared to attack Goguryeo with all their strength, it would take a year.

Liang Jianfang rambled on, counting all the evil things that happened from the Wude Year to the Zhenguan Year, when the Goguryeo army crossed the Liao River westward, attacked Ruluo to capture, and Huaiyuan to capture.

This is not an injustice, it is a tradition for Goguryeo to do this. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, it was because the Yingzhou area was repeatedly harassed by Goguryeo that he was angry and raised troops.

However, on the issue of Goguryeo, God really did not bless the Sui Dynasty, and both generations of emperors returned home in disgrace.

If we just talk about Yang Guang and still accuse him of giving blind orders, then Yang Jian is blocked by God's will.

Anyway, the only thing I mean is that Goguryeo wants to beg for peace, but these things are not enough!
The emperor's eyes moved to Fan Zheng: "Fan Qing seems to have said nothing."

Fan Zheng stroked his beard and chuckled: "Who leads the troops in Silla? Does Jin Gengxin?"

Jin Chunqiu and Jin Gengxin joined forces, one person was in charge of the government and the other was in charge of the army. The complicated relationship between the two families made them cooperate with each other tacitly, and naturally they would not miss the opportunity of Tang Dynasty to rub Goguryeo.

Jin Gengxin was ruthless, Dongbihu and Dongyinhu changed hands one after another, making Mr. Qian furious.

With a backhand, Kim Kyung-shin slapped Baekje King Buyeo Eui-ji in the face. Within three days, he captured the three cities of Weryeseong, Daemugak County, and Tangjing County. He showed his fangs and warned Baekje that he would stop pretending!

Silla, which had always been weak, shocked Goguryeo and Baekje this time.

According to the tradition of the peninsula, Goguryeo and Baekje should unite at this time to fight against Silla.

But Baekje Crown Prince Buyeo Yong believed that Goguryeo had retreated thirty miles along the coast and was not qualified to be an ally of Baekje anymore. Even if they wanted to form an alliance, they should turn eastward and look for the flirtatious Japanese country.

Japan's land warfare capability was not outstanding at this time, but its advantage lay in its large number of ships.

Using Tsushima Island as a transit point, thousands of sails could sail across the sea and attack the Silla lands. No matter how powerful Kim Kyung-shin was, he would have to withdraw his troops and go back to deal with Japan.

Without Baekje's alliance, Goguryeo would have lost some confidence in dealing with Silla. As proud as money, Gesu Wen had to bow his head to the Tang Dynasty and temporarily beg for peace in order to tide over the difficulties.

"Jin Gengxin still has two skills in fighting. Goguryeo general Wen Shamen should not be his opponent, right? Tongshi Sheren?"

Fan Zheng looked at Seng Xincheng with a smile.

Tongshishiren from the sixth rank are also enshrinement officials, and enshrinement officials from the eighth rank and above should often attend the court.

As for Fan Zheng himself, he is now considered a high ranking official.

The monk Xincheng happily put on his green robe and left the office: "Back to the Crown Prince, although Wen Shamen is stable, he is slightly inferior to Jin Gengxin."

Gao Funan stared at Monk Xincheng, and was furious for a moment.

It is in vain that Mr. Qian trusts you so much. If you don’t want to die to serve the country, how can you still have the face to appear in front of this prince?If Goguryeo's shortcomings are revealed to your face, will your family still want to live?
Seng Xincheng said that his family was reunited when he was growing up. Thank you for thinking about him.

Although Goguryeo acted aggressively when facing Silla during the Kinderman period, it was actually at the end of its fight.

Liaodong was captured by the Tang Dynasty again, and its strength was greatly reduced. Naturally, it was no longer the enemy of Silla.

Fan Zheng uncovered the scars of Goguryeo, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty naturally intensified their efforts, and offered conditions that made Gao Funan dare not speak out.

Including but not limited to the cession of Bozhuo City, the annual tribute of a certain amount of grain, a certain amount of seafood, and the little Goguryeo lady (crossed out).

Although the Goguryeo little lady is nice, she has legs and can run.

On this point, the people of Liaodong have the most say.

Regarding Goguryeo's request, the Tang Dynasty theoretically had to study and consider it again, and then sent Xiao Siye and others to discuss and discuss with Gao Funan.

Anyway, just wait patiently.

"When the Anxi Protector's Mansion was attacked, although the Protector Qu Zhizhan tried his best to protect it, he was inevitably unable to do so."

The emperor clearly pointed out the shortcomings of the Anxi Protectorate.

Fan Zheng left the team: "My minister Fan Zheng thinks that the Anxi Protectorate has a vast territory, and the soldiers of only one government will not be able to defend it in case of trouble if they are divided into various towns."

The emperor nodded and agreed with Fan Zheng's words.

Li Ji left his post and said: "We can set up the Beiting Protectorate in Tingzhou, Yizhou and Wudulu, and appoint Gao Kan as the Protector."

"Xizhou, Qiuci, Khotan, and Shule will lead Zhu Kupo, Kepantuo, Kubera, and Wuxu Shibi to protect the capital of Anxi."

It is indeed the "big" Protectorate, which swallowed up all the land of the Western Turks with a wave of his hand.

With Fan Zheng's current level of character, he can participate in such a major event.

However, Fan Zheng can express some superficial opinions, but cannot be as profound as Li Ji.

Master Xu Yu, the assistant minister of Huangmen, came out: "Master Xu Yu has announced that Sikong's placement will open up territory for us in the Tang Dynasty. How long will it take for us to return home safely?"

"In the meantime, how to deal with the problem of soldiers, food and grass? The previous arrangement of the Anxi Protectorate has caused complaints among the people in Guanzhong."

Fan Zheng nodded slightly, Master Xu Yu was well aware of the hardships of people's livelihood.

"The Protectorate of Xu Anxi recruits troops from Anxi and has the right to recruit servants on its own."

"The food and grass are also allowed to be collected by the Protectorate themselves, and the imperial court will supplement the shortage."

Li Ji obviously had a draft in mind, and his reputation as a wise general is not unfounded.

The Anxi Protectorate is located on the transportation thoroughfare of the Silk Road. It may not have enough other things, but it has a lot of money.

Taking the money and food that should be handed over to the Anxi Protectorate for personal use, although it reduces the loss of going back and forth, the disadvantages are also obvious.

Fan Zheng spoke slowly: "Sikong Zhiyan, as the saying goes, heal the head when it hurts. For now, it can solve the problem; in the long run, the disadvantages are very prominent, and it is easy for the generals to have no restraint, and become a strong branch and a weak trunk. .”

Don’t think that the Central Plains dynasty is like a banyan tree. Wherever the fibrous roots fall, another branch will grow out, and a single tree can become a forest.

According to the inertia of history, strong branches and weak trunks will suffer backlash! (End of chapter)
