Bohai State, Nanhai Province.

"What? You said Huan'er died in battle? ”

Da Xuanming did not hesitate to pull the collar of the person in front of him, held the other party up and questioned.

The Bohai State was originally established by force, and the reason why the Bohai State became a country was that it fought a war with Wu Zhou. Subsequently, the successive Bohai kings went to the east and the west to fight, which led to today's territory.

Because it is a martial country, if the martial style of the Bohai royal family naturally prevails, don't look at Da Xuan's nearly sixty years next year, but his body is not bad, so he can lift an adult at once.

It's just an ordinary official, and he doesn't dare to resist when he is raised by Da Xuanming,

"Back to His Royal Highness, Anzhou City was breached, and Anzhou City, where the third prince was stationed, was indeed breached. The third prince was killed in battle, and a thousand elite soldiers under his command were also killed. ”

"What? Huan'er really died in battle? ”

Da Xuanming couldn't believe it, and the strength he had gathered just now dispersed, and he threw the person in front of him to the ground, and the whole person took a few steps back in a mood full of shock and grief, and finally slumped on the chair.

The Huan'er in Da Xuanming's mouth is called Da Weihuan, his third son, who is less than thirty years old this year.

This son is actually deeply loved by Da Xuanming, although his ability is not the strongest, but it is very similar to when he was young.

But ten years ago, this third son caused a lot of trouble, and it was definitely unrealistic to stay in Nanjing-Vaud, so he sent the other party to Anzhou to serve as the assassin.

Although it is far away, it is impossible to return to Vaud, but it is possible to survive.

He wanted to wait a few years before transferring the third son back, but he didn't expect that it would be a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person.

"What the hell is going on? Although the terrain in Anzhou is flat and not conducive to defense, the third child has a thousand elite soldiers sent by his father, plus the army he recruited in Anzhou, there are as many as 3,000, which is enough to hold Anzhou City.

Moreover, there are no strong forces around Anzhou, and those forces from Goguryeo in Liaodong are the Goguryeo forces in Tongzhou? Or is it the wealthy family of Anju itself? Next to him, Da Xuanming's eldest son, Da Weiyi, was a little puzzled.

Compared with Da Weihuan, who is a loser, Da Weiyi, who is already forty years old, is the next governor of Nanhai Prefecture, and he still controls Qingzhou.

Due to Da Xuanming's advanced age, he returned to Vaud City to assist in the management of Nanhai Province.

"The eldest prince of Hui is not a Goguryeo, but a local wealthy family, in addition to that, there are... And also... "There was some hesitation.

"What else?" Da Weiyi asked.

"And Tang Jun."

"What Tang Jun? Not a Tang person? Da Xuanming hurriedly got up and asked.

The Tang people and the Tang army do not mean the same thing, in Nanhai Province and the Liaodong region in the north, there are also many Tang forces, most of which are concentrated in the coastal areas.

In terms of strength, the Tang people in these places are not strong, not as good as Goguryeo.

However, the Balhae Kingdom had little influence in these places, and although they nominally occupied these places, they were actually managed by the Goguryeo and Tang people themselves.

For the Tang people, especially the Tang people in Anzhou, Da Xuanming naturally doesn't have to worry, after all, there are more than 10,000 people, and they can't afford to make big waves.

If it was Tang Jun, it would be different, this is a world of difference.

"It's Tang Jun!" Someone came back and forth.

"Nonsense, what are the Tang people doing in the sea to attack Anzhou? Idle. Da Weiyi scolded.

"Prince Hui, it's not the Tang army on the other side of the sea, it's the Tang army from the south, it's the Tang army from the Pyongyang Governor's Mansion in Silla. The person who led the troops seemed to be the governor of the Pyongyang Governor's Office, surnamed Yang, with thousands of cavalry under his command, as well as elite infantry. ”

In the face of Da Weiyi's questioning, the person who came was also very aggrieved, so he could only continue to explain, "Before the Tang army attacked, the Goguryeo and Tang forces in Anzhou City launched a mutiny, and the Tang army killed it at this time, and then captured Anzhou City in one fell swoop. ”

"So, the third child was killed by the Tang army of the Pyongyang Governor's Mansion?" Da Weiyi asked.

He knew very well that his father loved this third brother, and if he showed no concern about this matter, it was not impossible for the position of the governor to fall to the old second-hand.

"The third prince was actually killed by the Goguryeo people, and the Tang army just took advantage of the chaos to capture Anju City." The visitor hesitated for a moment and said.

"No matter who killed him, now that my Huan'er is dead, I have to bury him. Yi'er, if you want to be the governor after my death, lead the army to avenge your third brother. Da Xuanming said in a deep voice.

After all, Da Xuanming is old, and it is definitely unrealistic to lead the troops to go on the expedition, so he can only hand over the revenge to the other sons.

"Father, rest assured, the child will definitely avenge the third brother!"

However, the development of things did not go in the direction of Da Xuanming and Da Weiyi's thoughts, when Da Weiyi led 10,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Anzhou.

Bad news came on the way, Jiaozhou was also broken by the Tang army, and most of the defenders were killed.

Under normal circumstances, Da Weiyi should have withdrawn his troops, but he did not withdraw his troops, but wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack and recapture Jiaozhou.

As a result, Da Weiyi's 10,000 troops were ambushed on the way, and nearly half of the 10,000 troops were lost, and finally fled back to Vaud in embarrassment.

Da Weiyi led his troops to the battle, but fled back in embarrassment, which undoubtedly caused a lot of shock in Nanhai Mansion, and they all thought that the Tang army would attack in a big way.

However, Yang Shihou did not continue the attack, he needed to temporarily consolidate the cities he had occupied, and then meet the counterattack of the Bohai Kingdom.

。。。。。。

"This Yang Shihou is a bit of a brush, but he didn't expect that just a few months after the establishment of the Pyongyang Governorate, he successively captured Haizhou, Huangzhou, Anzhou and Jiaozhou." Seeing the battle report sent by the Pyongyang Governor's Office, Li Ye was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, although the Pyongyang Governor's Mansion has several cities, is it a little inappropriate to rashly start a war with the Bohai State? The Bohai Sea is a prosperous country in the east of the sea, and it is not much weaker than Goguryeo in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zhaodu somewhat disapproved of Yang Shihou's dispatch of troops to the Nanhai Mansion of the Bohai State.

The strength of the Bohai State was not weak, with a population of 3 million, far more than the Uighurs of Nanzhao and Xizhou, and it also had a large number of cavalry, coupled with the dangerous terrain of its territory, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the beginning, Goguryeo took more than 70 years for the five emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties to win.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is not appropriate to start a full-scale war with Bohai at this time, and only needs to recover Liaodong first. At that time, with Liaodong as the base camp, whether it was attacking the Khitan or the Bohai Sea, the initiative was in my Datang. Xu Shiren, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also not optimistic about starting a war with Bohai at this time.

Both the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were opposed, which made Li Ye a little unexpected.

"The Pyongyang Governor's Office has already captured Anju and Jiaoju, so we can't let them out, right?" Li Ye was a little unhappy.

Wei Zhaodu and Xu Shiren sensed Li Ye's displeasure, and they were also a little embarrassed, if they forcibly admonished again, they were likely to annoy the saint.

At this time, Li Zhen stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has a way. ”
