Chapter 181
After receiving Long Feiyu's memorial, Li Shimin frowned, and said angrily: "Xue Yantuo repeatedly broke the ban, it's time to teach them a lesson."

"No, Your Majesty, Long Feiyu was born as a general. Sometimes it's hard to avoid overthinking the problem. As long as we beat Xue Yantuo, can the other tribes sit idly by? It affects the whole body. Now that I, the Tang Dynasty, has risen, None of these peoples are willing to see that if they attack rashly, they will definitely be besieged by them."

"Hmph, if we remain indifferent, then more and more people will dare to fight against me in the Tang Dynasty. Our soldiers will be looted in our own territory, and who will dare to defend the border in the future. You always put things It is so simple to think, the land dispute cannot be compromised, and the second step will come after the first step. People are not enough, if we stick to it, then no one will dare to challenge me, Datang, this is the way to protect the family Dao, don’t always wait until the enemy is in front of you to act, then it will be too late.”

Li Shimin swept across the crowd, and said: "From today onwards, the government will set up the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Xuanling and Wuji will be in charge of the interior, and Long Feiyu will be in charge of patrolling the world for me. Deal with it. Lead Jiafeng to the general of the town army, and let him lead the troops to attack Xue Yantuo."

Everyone can understand the position of foreign minister. After all, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and of course His Majesty cannot manage it alone.Whether those officials performed too well or too badly in the territory, these Beijing officials must not know.With the Foreign Minister's inspection, these people will definitely settle down.

Of course, one of the more important reasons is that, from the emperor to the common people, no one wants Long Feiyu to stay in the court.Li Shimin is afraid, the common people are happy, Feiyu is full of gold everywhere, this is the consensus of all the common people.

However, the general of the town army made these people puzzled. A civil servant took the position of military attache from the second-rank official position.This shows that Li Shimin still recognizes Long Feiyu's identity as military officer from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking of this, someone reminded: "Your Majesty, Long Feiyu is a civil servant who wants to be added as well as Dr. Guanglu. Why did he add the General of the Zhenjun? This is not in harmony with the system."

"Fart, Long Feiyu is obviously a military officer, how can he be counted among civil servants?"

"Military officer? He can count the days of war with his fingers in the past ten years, and the rest of the time he is dealing with government affairs. What is it if he is not a civil servant?"

Seeing that everyone was still arguing, Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't want to discuss this matter. It doesn't matter whether you are a military officer or a civil official. As long as you can make contributions to our Tang Dynasty, Long Feiyu has always held the position of a civil official." , but his achievements as a military officer have not been settled yet, so let him be named the general of the town army this time, and ordered to control the border troops."

To control the border troops, this power is great. You must know that Li Ji is only the governor of Bingzhou, and Long Feiyu controls the troops, so Li Ji must also be under his control.

The imperial court's military order was issued to Yanmen within a few days, and the generals immediately cheered when they got the news.Without Long Feiyu's frontier army, it is equivalent to having no backbone. Although they can also attack cities and loot land, no one except Long Feiyu can win a city in the shortest time or exchange the smallest casualties for the largest the price.

Just as the frontier army was cheering, a piece of paper made Long Feiyu frown. Knowing that Long Feiyu would be the prime minister and deal with some emergencies, the messenger who was going to Chang'an sent the letter to Yanmen.

Seeing Long Feiyu's face was cloudy and uncertain, Fei Ying leaned over and said, "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

"The governor of Liaodong came to report that the Koryo envoys were sent to Liaodong to discuss the ownership of the Khitan people. A group of 50 people were killed outside the city of Liaodong. Now Koryo has assembled an army of [-] troops to serve under the city of Liaodong. The governor of Liaodong asked for help."

Speaking of this, the group of people immediately became filled with righteous indignation, and Wang Zhuo first said: "Marshal, these Koreans are more hateful than Xue Yantuo, and they send troops to harass our Liaodong territory from time to time. It is now the Khitan family of the Tang Dynasty, and the Liaodong prefect once sent [-] people to Khitan, and now it is still the Hanqi family, and he obviously doesn’t take my Tang Dynasty seriously by acting like this in Goryeo.”

"Yes, Xue Yantuo is nothing to worry about, but Korea is the big problem."

Long Feiyu waved and said, "Su Dingfang, Li Xu, Long Feihu obey."

"the end will be"

"Su Dingfang took you as the commander, Li Xu as the deputy commander, Feihu as the vanguard, and led an army of [-] troops to Mobei to push Xue Yantuo."

"Yes"

"Liu Zhenbei wants you to lead an army of [-] to guard Jiuyuan, and attack immediately if Xue Yantuo makes any changes."

"Yes"

"Feiying, Wang Zhuo, Xiaojun, Li Shouyi, you four follow me to Liaodong, Feiying, take that recruit named Xue Li with us to Liaodong."

"Yes"

After everything was arranged, Long Feiyu was about to walk out of the big tent. Seeing everyone leaving, Su Dingfang said worriedly: "Marshal, is it okay for my soldiers to go deep into Mobei?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "Why are you so scared of the frontier? We have been there when there was no garrison, not to mention that the people of that generation are not living poorly. They will not die for Xue Yantuo , and will not give up the quiet and peaceful days now."

After saying this, Long Feiyu left the military tent and went to Liaodong with a team of 5000 people.Su Dingfang, who was accustomed to Long Feiyu's existence, now has to face the pressure of a country alone. He is not afraid, and this little courage will not be able to shock the frontier, but he is just afraid that he is not doing well enough.

Under the city of Liaodong, a group of Koreans are gathering in the military tents, one of them is teasing wantonly with a woman who has just been looted from Khitan.One of the teenagers said worriedly while looking at the girl in his arms: "Father, we have besieged Liaodong City, what if the Tang army comes to kill us?"

A middle-aged man in a gorgeous military uniform snorted, "So what? The Sui Dynasty had so many troops, so we have nothing to do. The Tang Dynasty only had as many people as the Sui Dynasty did. It's far behind."

"But there was Long Feiyu in the Tang Dynasty, and his boy once went to him in the border town of the Tang Dynasty. Their army is not comparable to the army of the Sui Dynasty."

"Long Feiyu? He is just an example artificially set up by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in order to win people's hearts. To put it bluntly, how powerful can he be, can he defeat the Turks in one battle? Isn't there Li Jing and Li Ji's older generation?" The general is behind him to support him. Now that Li Ji is in Bingzhou and Li Jing is retiring, what great things can be achieved with a young boy like him. Don't be afraid, this time we are going to force the Tang people to hand over the area east of Liaodong."

"But Commander-in-Chief, have you forgotten the consequences of us provoking the Sui Dynasty? If it weren't for their internal turmoil, we would have destroyed the country."

"Look at the beauties in your arms. There are countless such women in the Tang Dynasty, but they are rare in my Koryo country. Can you tolerate that so many beauties are not occupied by the stupid emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

The young man was a little scared at first, but when it comes to beauties, he has always been a person who considers himself to be sympathetic to women. So many beauties are actually occupied by the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is too unfair for them to stay in this bitter cold place.Thinking of this, the desire to attack the Tang Dynasty increased.

At the same time, Li Shimin also received the news, and when he heard that Goryeo dared to do such a thing, he shouted angrily in front of the courtiers for a while: "Xuanling, prepare to organize the army to avenge your children. This Goryeo army is not a son of man, how dare you Act like this. This time, I must personally conquer."

Hearing Li Shimin's fury, the courtier who was planning to participate in Long Feiyu hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, calm down, the imperial conquest is a major event for the country. Now Xianglong has moved eastward, and he will reach Liaodong in a short time. Goryeo is rampant. But it may not necessarily be able to defeat Long Xiang, if Long Xiang loses, then His Majesty will be able to attack."

However, compared with Yu Jia's personal conquest, the matter of letting Long Feiyu go is much smaller.The Central Plains people's hatred for Goryeo has not lasted for a day or two, and it is even higher than the Turkic people. The Turkic people are still loyal no matter what.

But Koryo is different. As long as the army comes, they will immediately surrender and retreat, and the army will return in an instant after leaving.To them, the word Xinyi is nothing more than two unfamiliar Chinese characters. It is precisely because of their dishonesty that Yang Guang was furious, and there were three conquests, which indirectly led to civil strife in the Central Plains.

If this is why Li Shimin is so keen on attacking Goryeo, the war against Turks was a war that people in the Sui Dynasty could win, but Goryeo is different. The Sui Dynasty did not win, and now they have won a different meaning.

However, in recent years, the Goryeo people have been considered peaceful and have not been in a hurry to find a lottery. However, recently, because Xue Yantuo's troops in the Tang Dynasty have become a little disrespectful, they have set an example for Goguryeo, and the attack on their envoys gave them an excuse.That's why I became unscrupulous.

At worst, when you fail, just obediently send envoys to Tang, just admit your mistake, and come back to fight again when you recover.

Regarding the dissuasion of the officials, Li Shimin still appreciated it and said: "Well, the draft decree is that the Ministry of War will increase [-] troops to Liaodong."

"Yes"

For these people, as long as Li Shimin doesn't personally conquer, the rest is easy to talk about, but for Goryeo, no matter how many troops are added, as long as they retreat to the eastern region, even if the Tang army comes, they have nothing to do.

Where the weather is cold, few Han people can survive here.As long as the busy line is extended, the supply line of the Han people will be wiped out sooner or later, so why should they be afraid of you.

When Long Feiyu went to Liaodong, Gus was relieved. He had been with Long Feiyu before, and he knew Long Feiyu very well. Now that Long Feiyu went to Liaodong, he only faced Su Dingfang , he can still handle it.

The governor of Liaodong is also restless at this time. In fact, he is still under pressure in the face of Koryo. In order to prevent the Koreans from attacking him, he had to shrink his troops a long time ago. Now he is retreating in the city of Liaodong. He is not afraid of fighting. But it was helpless, this group of courageous bandits ran back to their hometown after looting, but their own strength could not catch up. I can hope that the imperial army will come and scare away the Koreans.
