Chapter 188
The matter of Mobei was sent to Liaodong by Kuaima, and looked at the information sent back by Su Dingfang.After thinking about it for a while, Long Feiyu wrote a letter to Su Dingfang, and then said to the messenger: "Let Xiazhou defender Xue Wanche lead [-] troops to the north to make peace with Liu Zhenbei, and the Governor of Bingzhou Li Ji to lead two Thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Wuyuan, supporting Xue Wanche and Liu Zhenbei to support Su Dingfang to return to the south."

Listening to Long Feiyu's order, the generals said excitedly: "Is there going to be a war in the north?"

Long Feiyu shook his head and said: "Although we have the ability to fight on multiple fronts, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on the common people. Therefore, the north should be stabilized first. I know what Xue Yantuo pays attention to, but as long as these When cattle and horses entered the range of Wuyuan, he, Xue Yantuo, would have to smash his teeth and swallow blood in his stomach. At present, the most important thing for us is Liaodong. There are still a lot of people, and many people fled to the Liaodong generation during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Now it is very helpful for us to attack and occupy. But Mobei is different, where there is no basis, we can only talk about it later.”

These generals did not understand Long Feiyu's words, and they did not understand the ruling plan of the literati.But they believed that what Long Feiyu said would not be done.

Chang'an was terrified by the frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in the north. At this time, someone still wrote: "Your Majesty, Long Feiyu has mobilized a total of [-] troops from Xiazhou, Wuyuan, Bingzhou, and Shuofang without authorization. Gathering in the direction, these five plains may have the straight roads built by the Qin Dynasty in the past, although most of them are still damaged. But at this time, they can still run horses. If Long Feiyu changes, the [-] soldiers and horses can be killed in three days. Going to the city of Chang'an will be extremely detrimental to His Majesty, so please His Majesty take back Long Feiyu's military power."

Hearing the official's impeachment, Long Liang was terrified, but at this moment he never dared to stand up and defend himself.Long Feiyu was his son, if he stood up, he might harm Long Feiyu.

Before the official finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Aiqing, tell me what Long Feiyu is going to do?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I was about to report this matter. Long Feiyu hastened to send the military report to the Ministry of War a few days ago. Your Majesty ordered Long Feiyu to control the border troops. In the third year of Zhenguan, the Turks were destroyed, but the land of Mobei became unowned. At that time, Long Feiyu made an appointment with Xue Yantuo Khan in the name of the court, and leased the land of Mobei to Yi Nan, with [-] cattle per year. Twenty thousand horses.

It has been six years now, originally due to the remoteness of Mobei, the Tang army was out of reach, so it was gone, but because Xue Yantuo was too deceitful and repeatedly robbed the people of our dynasty, so Long Feiyu brought up the old story again.As a result, Yinan was speechless. In order to establish their prestige in Western countries without visas, they have promised to send 30 cattle and 12 horses to Tang Dynasty.But such a large amount can directly make Xue Yantuo unable to turn over within three years.

So Xue Yantuo agreed to send the cattle and horses to Mobei Duhu Mansion, but the road to Wuyuan from the Duhu Mansion is far away, and it is easy for something to happen on the way.As long as the cattle and horses are handed over to Xue Yantuo, the promise will be fulfilled, and it is entirely possible to snatch the cattle and horses back at that time, so Long Feiyu ordered all the troops to go north to Wuyuan to meet Su Dingfang's department. "

"Now that the national treasury is abundant, don't I agree to fight on two fronts?" Hearing Fang Xuanling's explanation, Li Shimin asked a bit puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War originally thought this way, but the military newspaper from Long Feiyu said that it is still cheaper to get the desolation in Mobei now. It is better to get some benefits from the various tribes in Mobei. And the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty The number of people who caused the Han people to fall to Liaodong is quite large, so I hope that Liaodong can be captured first. Firstly, it can save the Han people, and secondly, having the Han people is also beneficial to rule. Thirdly, we should carry out destructive measures against Goguryeo, which has no faith. hit."

Listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, if I let Long Feiyu control the border troops, he has the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the border. I don't want to hear other people's irresponsible remarks. Those who dare to stretch out their fangs to my Tang Dynasty who need to see the uniform of the world, our soldiers are obliged to break their fangs to me."

Undoubtedly, the official's performance at this time is superfluous, and he will not beat me.At this time, Li Shimin was an upright man, no matter how big the storm was, he could withstand it, so he would not be afraid of Long Feiyu.But if it is in the twilight years, this person's performance is a different concept.

However, Li Shimin was sometimes too confident. If Long Feiyu wanted to rebel, the common people would probably not say anything except those who were loyal to Li Shimin and those scholars who feared that the world would not be chaotic.Naturally, Li Shimin, who was staying in the palace, would not know about it.

In Li Ji's mansion in Bingzhou, seeing Long Feiyu's transfer order, Li Ji felt a little sad.It used to be Li Jing, who finally retired, and finally looked forward to his own era, but it's a pity that Long Feiyu appeared out of nowhere.

But this person's talent is unrivaled in the world, if he is someone like Li Jing, he can still catch up.Although he couldn't catch up, at least he could still see his back, but Long Feiyu was unconstrained and eclectic in fighting.He was so kind to others that his soldiers didn't see him many times, but he couldn't control the situation when he came to the barracks.

I don't know how other barracks are, but I think it's about the same.But if you think about it, all the welfare of the soldiers now comes from Long Feiyu. Although he is the Duke of the state, his fief has already reached the height of [-] households.But his mansion is still living on Long Liang's salary and title.

Most of Long Feiyu's salary and living expenses were given to the soldiers who had been injured with him in the Southern and Northern Wars.Li Jing couldn't do this, and Li Ji couldn't do it either. They worked for most of their lives to glorify their ancestors and their wealth, so how could they give what they got to others.So they can only command the headquarters.

Now that Long Feiyu was ordered to restrain the border troops, Li Ji could only smile bitterly.The little baby who was originally scolded by him has now become his boss.Although unwilling, a person surpasses himself too much. When he knows that he will not be able to catch up in his life, those illusory dreams will be buried.Moving forward is the best ending.

In half a month, Long Feiyu had rectified the soldiers and horses in Liaodong.At this time, he had [-] troops in his hands, plus Liu Rengui's [-] navy, for a total of [-].But before the matter of Mobei was formally concluded, Long Feiyu was still waiting and watching.Responsible for once the Mobei talk collapses, and here moves towards Liaodong, it will not be good to fight on multiple fronts.

In order to be able to repay the land rent of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo threatened and lured those small countries, and finally gathered 30 cows and 12 horses by various means, and rushed to the Mobei Governor's Mansion.

While handing over these things, Xue Yantuo had already begun to assemble an army.However, just as they were preparing for war, the arrival of a person forced them to temporarily give up gathering the army.

This person is Su Dingfang, and Su Dingfang Yinan knew him well. He had accompanied Long Feiyu on his expedition to Mobei and drove away many of their cattle and sheep.So when they saw Su Dingfang, they itched the roots of their teeth, but Su Dingfang's force was not covered up. This time he brought [-] troops here.

Although the number of people is small, it can't hold up Su Dingfang's reputation.Seeing Su Dingfang's arrival, Yi Nan said with a smile on his face, "What's the matter with General Su's coming this time?"

Su Dingfang sighed and said: "Khan didn't know something. Our marshal leased Mobei to Khan privately. Although Khan paid off the rent this time, our goods have been robbed frequently these days. So we didn't catch the bandits. , Our marshal has ordered that these cattle and sheep can only be kept in captivity for the time being, and cannot be transported back to Datang, otherwise they will be robbed on the way, and the trouble will be serious. So this time I brought troops here because I hope Those who helped the Khan suppress the bandits."

Hearing Su Dingfang's words, Yi Nan said with a gloomy face: "General Su's words are a bit exaggerated. I, Xue Yantuo, should be responsible for the suppression of bandits. General Su should not bother. I will personally escort those How about the robbers going to the Duhu Mansion to apologize?"

"No, the land of Mobei belongs to my Datang. Since Khan paid the rent, it belongs to my tenants of the Tang Dynasty. My Datang should provide protection for you, so this time we have to find a way to eliminate these people no matter what. Robbers. Please Khan not to stop him." Su Dingfang said while staring at Yi Nan sincerely.

Yi Nan can be said to be riding a tiger at this time, where did he find the robbers, and where did he go to find them, but Su Dingfang is here, and he doesn't have time to dispatch the army to rob those cattle and horses, but since Su Dingfang is here, those cattle and horses will be there for a while. They will not be transported away, as long as they are still on the grassland, they will not be afraid.

In order to perfunctory Su Dingfang, Yi Nan could only nod in agreement and said: "That's good, it's getting late today, how about we go to suppress the bandits tomorrow?"

Listening to Yi Nan's words, Su Dingfang frowned and thought for a long time, then said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, Su Dingfang went down and rested.Seeing Su Dingfang leaving, Yi Nan hurriedly said to Mo Du: "Go, find a way to transport some of the looted goods and throw them into the forest. First drag them for a few days, and then you go with Su Dingfang to suppress the bandits."

Modu nodded, and went down to deal with things. At this time, the Mobei Protectorate, Feihu Lao had already thrown out all the thousands of elite riders in his hands.The Xue Yantuo scouts who were in charge of spying on the Tang army along the way were slaughtered long ago.

With no worries, they drove the cattle and horses in the direction of Wuyuan swaggeringly.In order to cover up the news that the cows and horses had left, the Mobei Protectorate Mansion mobilized the entire crowd close to the Protectorate Mansion to collect fodder.

It takes a long journey from Xue Yantuo's court to the forest, so Yi Nan found an excuse to delay Su Dingfang for another day.Regarding Yi Nan's delay, Su Dingfang shouted anxiously: "Khan doesn't know something. The daily consumption of these 30 cows and horses is a big deal. If we don't send these cows and horses back to Wuyuan as soon as possible, the time of delay will be lost." It’s not good if it grows longer. Khan has to catch this robber.”

Yi Nan smiled and said haha: "Definitely, please wait for a day, General Su, Mo Du has something to deal with beforehand, and you can go when he is done."

Su Dingfang had no choice but to stay in Xue Yantuo's tent.
