I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 521 Waiting for Goguryeo to Fall into the Trap
"In the future of our Tang Dynasty, first of all, the army must be composed of warriors." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

Hear this.

The two men immediately bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

After the two of them retreated.

Li Zheng looked thoughtful.

"Start with the Bad Guys and the Yulin Army."

"After we destroy Goguryeo, we will teach martial arts to the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty."

"Finally, we will gradually promote martial arts in the military."

"However, the bandit-suppressing army directly under my command can be taught first." Li Zheng thought thoughtfully.

The road of martial arts.

Imperative.

……

Goguryeo border.

The location of the Tang Dynasty’s outpost.

Thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers were stationed here.

On the other side, refugees from Goguryeo would occasionally come to the Tang Dynasty, mostly with their families.

But at this moment they were all blocked outside the country by the Tang army.

"Sir, let us enter the Tang Dynasty."

"Please, sir."

"Give us a way to live."

"General..."

Outside the checkpoint, Li Ming of Goguryeo made a helpless plea.

Now the two princes in their country are fighting each other, competing for cities and vying for control of various places. It can be said that the people are living in misery.

The Tang general guarding the border post stood up, looked at the refugees who had gathered, and said loudly: "Goguryeo is in turmoil, and our Tang Dynasty, as the Celestial Empire, must not interfere."

"You have fled to our Tang Dynasty. The Emperor of our Tang Dynasty has indeed issued an order to allow refugees to enter the Tang Dynasty."

“However, there is a prerequisite for refugees to enter the country.”

"Once you enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you will be registered as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty."

"Moreover, you will not be allowed to enter the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, but will be placed in a newly built city in the northern border."

"If you are willing, you can come and sign the document behind me, and bring the pass. The Ministry of Revenue of the Tang Dynasty will send people to settle the cities in the northern border."

The lieutenant general said loudly.

In this regard.

The thousands of refugees gathered outside felt as if they had heard the voice of salvation from heaven, so how could they refuse?

After many conquests, the Tang Dynasty conquered the northern border and its prestige grew stronger and stronger. For small countries like theirs, the Tang Dynasty was out of reach. Now they were able to avoid the war and become citizens of the Tang Dynasty. This was something they had been longing for. How could they refuse?

Moreover, the new city in the northern border was a paradise compared to the war-torn Goguryeo.

"General, we do.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"I am willing to become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty."

……

The refugees cheered happily.

"Move the barricades away."

"All of you must enter the Great Tang territory to sign the documents and receive the pass."

The lieutenant general said loudly.

A wave of his hand.

All the barricades and gates that were originally blocking the border were opened.

These Goguryeo refugees seemed to be afraid of missing the chance to survive, and they all rushed into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers stationed here were already used to it when they saw this.

They have received the imperial edict for nearly ten days. Every day, the number of refugees is no less than five or six thousand, and now it is increasing, no less than ten thousand every day.

After all, this kind of thing can spread with the news.

When the people in Goguryeo heard the news, they naturally rushed over eagerly.

War, military disaster.

That will be accompanied by endless killing.

No matter which country it is, if the army is not restrained, it will inevitably cause great chaos, burning, killing and looting, which are the norm.

Even for their own people, looting and killing naturally happened from time to time, otherwise the people of Goguryeo would not have fled.

"General Hou Junji has arrived."

When the border soldiers were resettling the refugees, a loud shout was heard.

Protected by hundreds of personal guards, Hou Junji, dressed in military uniform and carrying a sword, slowly came to the border area.

"Greetings, General Hou." The lieutenant general stationed here and the soldiers around Ha You all saluted with their fists.

Hou Junji nodded and looked far away in the direction of Goguryeo, where the Goguryeo refugees were still gathering in scattered numbers.

"How many refugees has our Tang Dynasty accepted in these days?" asked Hou Junji.

"Return to the general."

"As far as I know, the total number of refugees accepted has exceeded 70,000, and now the number of refugees per day is no less than 10,000. In the future, we will command more and more." The deputy general said respectfully.

"It seems that the war in Goguryeo has intensified again." Hou Junji sneered.

“How not to add to the aggravation.”

"The two princes are fighting for supremacy and destroying the foundation of the country. Now Goguryeo has become a mess."

"And it is said that the King of Goguryeo is unconscious on his sickbed, and there is no way to solve the problem." The lieutenant general replied immediately.

"nothing."

“Continue to accept refugees.”

"The emperor said it."

"For our Tang Dynasty, population is also a resource."

"Don't waste it."

"After these refugees enter the country, they will all be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue officials in the rear cities, who will arrange their dispatch."

"The duty of my border soldiers is to protect the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The lieutenant general took the order solemnly.

After the explanation.

Hou Junji glanced towards Goguryeo again with an indescribable burning feeling.

"The time has not come yet."

"But there's no rush now."

"Only half of the 100,000-man army has arrived, and a small part has not yet arrived."

"There's still time to wait." Hou Junji thought secretly in his heart.

After arriving here, he couldn't wait to attack Goguryeo.

But now we are just waiting for a legitimate reason.

Waiting for one of the two competing princes of Goguryeo to ask the Tang Dynasty for help.

All for the sake of a legitimate reason.

"General."

"The 100,000 troops dispatched from Liaodong Prefecture have all set up camp in the border town."

Zhang Liang quickly came to Hou Junji to report.

"Everyone is here."

"very good."

Hou Junji smiled with joy.

Originally we thought it would take several days to fully mobilize the troops, but now it has been advanced. It seems that the order from the Ministry of War to mobilize the troops was also an order for a forced march.

That's why it's so fast.

Pass on the general's order.

"Reward the whole army and make sure they have enough food and water."

"Also, be prepared to follow my orders at any time." Hou Junji instructed immediately.

"Yes."

Zhang Liang retreated immediately.

"We have enough troops, Goguryeo."

"Just waiting for you to fall into the trap."

Hou Junji thought with secret anticipation in his heart.

This was the fourth day that Hou Junji arrived at the Goguryeo border.

It's still early.

Time passed gradually.

Another day passed, three days, six days.

On the tenth day.

Inside the Border Town Residence.

Hou Junji was practicing his skills.

Ever since he was rewarded with the martial arts, Hou Junji has paid special attention to it. Seeing Li Zheng take action, he is even more looking forward to reaching Li Zheng's level of martial arts.

This is also true.

Cultivation replaced Hou Junji's usual drinking habit and also changed his previous domineering character.
