Chapter 410 Silla's Request (Second Update)
Become the next Jiangdu within three years.
Faced with Zhou Junshou's rhetoric, Zhou Zhou smiled, and couldn't help but look forward to his job in the county department.

Now Beiping County is very short of officials, according to the official system established by the governor's office of Youzhou last year.

There is one county guard in one county, one deputy official county magistrate, one long history, one Sima each, one subordinate official and county master Bo, and one each of the six Caos joining the army.In Shangjun, there are 24 Liucao shuzuo and [-] Liucao running shuzuo.In Zhongjun, there are six assistants of Liucao Xingshu, and there are twelve assistants of Liucao Xingshu. In Xiajun, there are only Liucao Xingshu assistants, but no Xingshu assistants.

This system basically inherited the official system of the Sui Dynasty three years ago, and abolished the system of Tongshou and East and West Cao.
The same is true for counties. A county has a county magistrate, the second official is the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the master.

As for Beiping County, Anle County, and Yuyang County are all lower counties, there are few officials.Taking Beiping County as an example, not to mention Liu Cao Shuzuo, even Liu Cao is missing four people, and the chief officials in the county are all vacant except for the county guard, Sima, and Zhu Bo, the county magistrate, and the long history.

As for Lulong County, it is even worse. Except for the county lieutenant and the master Bo, the county magistrate and county magistrate are all lacking.As for the newly established Sanchahekou County, the candidates for officials are still being considered by the County Meritorious Cao Division. As for the appointment, I don't know when it will be.

Officials under the governor's office in Youzhou, who are qualified to serve as officials, are unwilling to go to Beiping County.However, Zhou Bo couldn't tell the truth about Zhou Zhou, who was engaged in the county department of Jiupin, so he simply let Zhou Zhou take charge of the affairs of Sanchahekou County.

On Zhou Zhou's first day assuming office, more than a dozen boats suddenly appeared on the water at the mouth of the Sancha River.

The navy sent people to inquire, and learned that the fleet of Silla's allies had come all the way from Silla.

Zhou Bo and Zhou Zhou were of course responsible for receiving the allies of Silla. On the ship, besides the fruit of Silla, there were also valuables such as bezoar and ginseng, as well as the envoys of the King of Silla. Arrived at the mouth of the Sancha River.

After Zhou Bo and Zhou Zhou heard about it, they didn't dare to be negligent, and they were kindly received. At the same time, all the supplies on the ship were unloaded at the dock, and at the same time, a fast boat was sent to Jixian County with the envoy of the King of Silla on board.

In the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou, Li Chongjiu heard that the envoy of the King of Silla had arrived, so he called Jin Chunqiu, Kong Shan, Yuan Xiao and others to meet him.

It has been more than a year since Jin Chunqiu and others came to Youzhou.Jin Chunqiu studied Chinese for a year at the Jixian County Middle School, and now he has a real knowledge of China. As for Kongshan, the two monks, Yuan and Xiao, are registered at Jiafu Temple in the west of the city.

Jiafu Temple is a famous temple in Youzhou. It was built during the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty. It is more than 400 years ago. There is a local saying that there was Jiafu Temple first, and then Youzhou City.The two studied diligently day and night, and their Buddhism also made great progress.

In the past year, Li Chongjiu met three of them at the New Year's banquet, but not the rest.This time, the envoy of King Silla came to meet him.

However, the envoys of the King of Silla did not bring any good news. It turned out that last year Goguryeo aggressively attacked Silla, and the army led by Ulji Mundeok once reached the capital of Silla.At that time Li Chongjiu was busy using troops against Li Tang and had no time to take care of it.

Now that the king of Silla was almost at the end of his life, he sent envoys to plead that Youzhou could send troops to drag Goguryeo's hind legs.

Li Chongjiu also knew that the principle of dead lips and cold teeth, with the pissing nature of Bangzi Kingdom, once Goguryeo unified the Korean peninsula, it was bound to use troops to the south to the Central Plains like the king of Goguryeo in history.Therefore, not only is Youzhou an ally to contain Goguryeo for Silla, but Silla is also indestructible for Li Chongjiu.He didn't want to have a day when he would fight Li Tang and Goguryeo on two fronts.

Jin Chunqiu and others knew that their mother country was in trouble, so they immediately begged Li Chongjiu to send troops to the east, just like the two previous expeditions to Liaodong, to beat Goguryeo.

However, regarding the request of the three people, Li Chongjiu is quite powerless now. The first two times he sent troops to Liaodong, one was to ensure the safety of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties, and to kill chickens and monkeys to show his military power. The second time was purely to go to Goguryeo to grab food. of.

But now after sending out troops twice, the Goguryeo people were frightened by themselves and did not dare to cross the Liaoshui River without permission, so Liaodong County has been safe and sound, and now Youzhou has a good autumn grain harvest this year, so there is no need to rob grain for the time being.

Of course, this is not the main reason. The biggest problem now is that since Youzhou County sent troops to Liaodong twice and defeated Goguryeo.Sayuan Gaisuwen in the eastern part of Goguryeo thought that Youzhou had a big conspiracy. In order to defend Youzhou, he once again used troops in Liaodong, and actually built a large-scale construction project. With Beisha City, Jian'an City, and Anshi City as the support points, Fuyu City in the north went to Bohai Sea in the south. built a Great Wall of thousands of miles.

Yuan Gai Su Wen repaired the Great Wall, and it seemed that he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Qin Emperor's Great Wall.

Li Chongjiu remembered that Yuan Gai Suwen repaired the Great Wall in history, it should be in the Zhenguan period, in order to prevent the Tang army from attacking, but today's Goguryeo opponent has replaced Li Chongjiu from Li Tang, and the repair of the Great Wall is to defend against the Youzhou army.

Li Chongjiu sent a spy to inspect the Great Wall. Although it has not been repaired yet, it is already quite impressive. This time, it is impossible for Li Chongjiu to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to attack Liaodong like the previous two times.

Since Youzhou defeated Khitan and the 10,000+ allied forces of the Xi clan, no one dares to underestimate it now. Even if it is as strong as the Turks, if they want to attack Youzhou alone, they have to think twice. Of course, the enemy pays attention to their own disadvantages.What's more, there is Dou Jiande to the south of Li Chongjiu, and once he is transferred to Liaodong, Dou Jiande and Liu Heizai will immediately pounce on you and bite you hard.

As far as the present is concerned, the confrontation between Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande is very delicate.The two sides are not sure of winning each other, so they are like two dueling swordsmen, neither of them is sure to swing the first knife. Right now, they are staring at each other, each patiently waiting for the opportunity to appear.

At this time, Li Chongjiu absolutely did not dare to be negligent. Now, regarding the request of the King of Silla to send troops to Liaodong, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but seem a little admiring and helpful.

Li Chongjiu did not refuse the other party's unanimous pleading, but only said to discuss first.

After Jin Chunqiu and others resigned with great expectations, Li Chongjiu summoned the officials of the governor's office and the generals of the military to discuss together.

Hearing that the King of Silla requested to send troops to Liaodong, all the officials and generals objected unsurprisingly.

Xue Wanshu first said: "Silla Fanbang has a small land and few people, and is shameless. How can allies wait for it together?"

Xue Wanche said: "Right now, the battle between me in Youzhou and Dou Jiande is imminent, and both sides are preparing their troops. At this time, sending troops to Liaodong is not putting the cart before the horse. I don't care about my own safety, but think about others."

Zhao Heran also objected: "I just received the news from Governor Yang of Liaoxi County that the White Wolf River was flooded in the autumn and the roads were washed away. It is difficult for the army to travel at this time."

Li Chongjiu was silent, turned his head to look at the map of Youzhou Liaodong hanging on the wall, and suddenly said to everyone: "What if our army doesn't go from Bailangshui to surprise Liaodong? How about sending troops from Wuzhong County?"

This is something that no one has ever thought about. In the past, when sending troops to Liaodong, they used the Bailangshui River Valley. This is also the only passage from Youzhou to Liaodong.

Xue Wanshu stepped forward and said, "I would like to report to Duke Shanggu that if you go east from Youzhou, the road ends at Wuzhong County. If you go further north from Wuzhong County, you will have nowhere to go."

Li Chongjiu said: "What you said is wrong. Look at the map. To the north of Wuzhong County, do you see the place named Jieshi? Cao Mengde has heard of the Canghai Guancang. You can see the Canghai by facing Jieshi to the east. When Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan, he passed through Liucheng. Returning Jieshi to Youzhou shows that there is an ancient road here."

Everyone couldn't help sighing secretly when they heard the words, and admired Li Chongjiu for his extensive knowledge and memorization.

Wang Yu, who joined the army in the recording room, said: "I will report to Lord Shanggu that there is indeed an ancient road. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, it built a road from Wuzhong County to the north to Jieshi, but when it arrived here, it was stopped because of Xiang Liu's uprising. Now this ancient road has been in disrepair for a long time, and the army must not be able to pass through it."

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly. He only came up with an idea temporarily, and said, "Who said that I will use a large army to conquer. I remember that the east of Jieshi is now under the jurisdiction of Changli County."

Changli County is a new county established by Li Chongjiu in Liaoxi County, where the Ding Lingbu of Liaoxi mainly live.Ding Lingbu has been in contact with Youzhou in the past few years, and the Sinicization has been rapid. Cui Xu, the patriarch, is also working hard to govern, so his power is slowly growing.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "Our army's northern expedition has always been through the Bailangshui River Valley. If we send troops from this road, Goguryeo will have been prepared. I ordered Ding Lingbu to send troops from Jieshi, take the Liaoxi Corridor, and attack Goguryeo sideways. What do you think?"

All the generals nodded their heads when they heard the words, and Wang Gui said, "If the Liaoxi Corridor is completed, Goguryeo will not be able to just concentrate on guarding against my Bailangshuihe Valley in the future."

Xue Wanche said: "This is unexpected, it is only Ding Lingbu's strength, Lord Shanggu also knows, relying on them to pose a very limited threat to Goguryeo."

Li Chongjiu said: "That's right, so we have to send another team."

Everyone wondered, is it still necessary to use the main force to go to the White Wolf River Valley?

Li Chongjiu saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, smiled and said: "You can see that our army's navy has taken shape, but it has not yet fought a war, so I want to try a small knife and form a joint navy with the king of Silla. How about crossing the sea and attacking Beisha City?"

Xue Wanche was shocked when he heard the words, and said: "Could it be that Lord Shanggu wants to follow the example of General Laihuer and send a navy to attack Beisha City."

Li Chongjiu nodded with a smile. What Xue Wanche said was that in the tenth year of Daye, when the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo for the third time, Lai Huer led the Sui navy to cross the river and attack Beisha City, breaking the Goguryeo people here.
Why can't I be able to accomplish what Lai Huer Da Sui Navy can accomplish.

Of course, right now with the Youzhou navy, the dozens of small boats can’t send many people to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, so we have to bring the Silla people together and use their powerful navy to lay a nail in the hands of the Goguryeo people in the Liaodong Peninsula. .
