Xue Ne didn't think about it at all, and said, "What you said is right, a good horse is a hero." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info As long as people are heroes, why not a good horse? And tell him his name and address, I know, and I will prepare for him three good horses with him, and he will obtain them according to his ability. ”

Pei Min said without hesitation: "That metropolitan governor is going to have a pain in his flesh, and the best horse must be obtained by him." ”

Xue Ne smiled rhetorically: "I hope so, but ...... You kid just bought people's hearts by just using his mouth, but it's really material for doing big things. I'm still a little afraid to take you, if you climb on my head one day, it won't be good! ”

Pei Min hurriedly said: "Most of the governors are too modest, the horse was sent by you, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Xue Ne scolded with a smile: "It's cheap and good, this Mana Lei Zhen really has the ability to take it." Even if he is as straightforward as Li Yide, he knows who to thank. ”

Pei Min smiled with him, and saw that Xue Ne mentioned Li Yide, which he hadn't seen for two months, and he didn't know what had changed since he joined the army, so he asked about his situation by the way.

Xue Ne couldn't help but nod and said: "He is a talent, even better than I thought at the beginning, and he never refused the training arranged for him, let alone disobey him." Let him do whatever he wants, even if there is a trap in front of him, he will jump down. Charging into battle, that's what you want. In just two months, his growth is enough to be described as impressive. ”

Pei Min was also happy that Li Yide had met a boss who valued him like Xue Ne, and chatted with Xue Ne again.

Xue Ne suddenly got down to business, "As you said at the beginning, the Anton Protectorate is isolated, and the people are impetuous and a little uneasy. Your Majesty has secretly discussed this matter with me, and intends to send troops to attack the Xi and Khitan again, what do you think? ”

When Pei Min heard this, he suddenly said in shock: "I don't think it's appropriate, it's too dangerous to send troops at this time, and it may even be repeated." He suddenly remembered that in history, Xue Ne also sent troops to recruit the Xi people and the Khitan after Sun Yan, intending to recapture Yingzhou and Liucheng, but the battle was lost, Xue Ne was defeated, and even ridiculed the Khitan, calling him "Xue Po", saying that he was as weak as a mother-in-law in battle.

Xue Ne said cautiously: "Why is this? Recently, he has been worried about this matter, Li Longji first ascended to the throne, and was restrained by Princess Taiping in the court, unable to let go of his hands and feet and do something big. Pinning hope on foreign wars, Yingzhou and Liucheng have been lost for a long time, as early as the Wu Zetian period, they thought that the Xi Khitan was occupied. If he can regain the lost territory and recapture Liaodong, it will enhance his prestige as an emperor and his desire to fight.

Xue Ne knew that Silla would not die in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and the Andong Protectorate was cut off by the Xi people and the Khitan, and fell into a situation of helplessness. He believed that Silla was also hesitating at this moment, whether to be the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty or to capture the capital of Andong and occupy the hometown of Goguryeo to become the real overlord of Haidong. Fortunately, Silla's only bold and far-sighted Kim Yushin had passed away, and Silla lacked a leader with enough courage to make a move.

But Xue Ne knows that the stupidest thing in the world is to pin his hopes on the enemy, and the Andong Protectorate is currently a piece of fat, and if Silla does not take it at present, it does not mean that they will not take it in the future, and the interests are moving, and this has been the case throughout the ages. If Silla decides to become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, capture the capital of Andong, and dominate Haidong, it will become a more powerful enemy than Goguryeo in the past.

Xue Ne was well aware of the seriousness of the situation, and had already intended to send troops to attack the Xi and Khitan, recapture Liaodong, and open up a land connection with the Andong Protectorate to deter Silla. His ideas coincided with Li Longji's, and as soon as he went on the expedition in the current situation, Li Longji would give him full support, asking for soldiers and money. It's just that Xue Ne has a little uneasiness in his heart, and it is difficult to choose.

Pei Min wanted to sort out his thoughts and words, but he found that he really didn't know enough about military affairs, and what he was currently in contact with was only some superficial things, and he had only read a few military books. Although Xue Ne is not as invincible as his father Xue Rengui, he is also a generation of famous marshals, showing off military affairs in front of him, no different from getting an axe in the class, and he simply doesn't want to make any big senses, so he gets straight to the point: "My Tang soldiers come from the government soldiers, and now the government military system is corrupted, and the combat level of my Tang soldiers is no longer as good as it was back then." Today's soldiers are like a flock of lambs, and even a brave and wise general cannot lead a flock of lambs to victory. What's more, His Majesty transferred troops and generals from other places, and these generals are not familiar with the Metropolitan Governor, and if you say something unpleasant, the Metropolitan Governor should not mind, I personally think that the Metropolitan Governor is not able to convince the public. In his memory, the key to Xue Ne's defeat was the inconsistency of the generals. The generals sent by Xue Ne from other places did not accept the control, and the level of the soldiers was not high, and they also clamped each other, which directly led to the defeat of Luanhe.

Xue Ne was silent, and his uneasiness made Pei Min clear in a word: he had been in Youzhou for a long time, and he had already intended to recover Liaodong, so he gathered troops in Youzhou to train his generals until the time was ripe to recover Liaodong. As a result, he gave the emperor at that time, the current Emperor Taishang, an edict to transfer him out of Youzhou, and took over as his governor Sun Yan, who defeated his old bottom in the blink of an eye, and now he is back again, and the soldiers in his hands are limited. If he decided to conquer Liaodong, he was undoubtedly the commander, but most of his soldiers were transferred from elsewhere. Soldiers don't know generals, generals don't know soldiers, it's really taboo for soldiers.

The quality of the soldiers is not high, and they are taboo in the soldiers.

"In this case, this battle really shouldn't be fought." Xue Ne made up his mind in his heart, he had been in a dilemma before, and he had summoned his henchmen many times to discuss, whether to fight or not to fight, the number of five or five was very important, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he met with Pei Min today, thinking that he was very insightful about the situation in Haidong at the beginning, so he asked this question.

"You shouldn't fight!" Pei Min didn't want to see another loss in his own country, so he said in a deep voice: "The 200-mile dangerous road to Liaodong is too unfavorable for us. Our army has crossed this road, and our physical strength is almost exhausted. In the face of the Xi and Khitan armies, the quality of our soldiers is still poor, and it is strange that they can win. Before the military system of this government has not been changed and the strength of our army has not been consolidated, I do not recommend opening the Liaodong war situation. As for the Andong Protectorate, they could only deepen the connection with the waterways to stabilize their hearts, and even send troops to the waterways to support them and expand their strength. ”

Pei Min said that he had no intention, but Xue Ne's listener meant it.

Suddenly, Xue Ne took the case and said, "Yes, why do we have to attack by land? With the land route as a feint, the water route transferred troops to the Andong Protectorate to attack Liucheng, following the example of the Pharmacist Gongding Turkic accident that year! This method is feasible, this method is feasible, haha, you kid is really my lucky star, I will give you credit when I turn around. He actually threw off Pei Min directly, laughed and left.
