Going to Silla to counterinsurgency?

Li Yuanjing felt for a moment that his head seemed to be a little insufficient, didn't Silla have an army of 20,000 led by Hou Junji?

Although the 20,000 Tang troops were not many, the Silla stationed in Silla could suppress them and did not dare to make any moves.

Unless Silla had the courage to join forces with Goguryeo and Baekje to launch a simultaneous attack on Hou Junji's 20,000-strong army, and at this time, because the Tang army was scattered, mostly distributed in dozens of different camps with a size of two or three thousand, if it was careless, it was very likely that something would happen.

But did Goguryeo and Baekje have the courage to attack the Tang army at this time period?

Obviously, no!

Because the Tang army at this time happened to have the residual power of destroying the Turks, neither their combat strength nor their desire could challenge.

Unless......

Li Yuanjing's pupils suddenly dilated, and he was shocked: "Hou Junji has rebelled?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded with difficulty: "The news that the imperial court received ten days ago, Hou Junji should have been prepared, at the beginning of the rebellion, he first arranged for people to rob the boat, and the army you left behind only grabbed a few small boats, but in the end there was only one small boat that could return to Wendeng, it is said that they have now gathered in a mine to guard, but no one knows what the situation is now!" ”

Li Yuanjing instantly understood why he didn't receive the news, the ship was snatched away, and he received the news of a fart.

The soldiers finally snatched back a few boats, and the first task at this time was of course to send the news back as quickly as possible, so Hui Wendeng was the best choice, if he worked hard, he would only need two days to rush from the dock to Wendeng.

The fleet is basically about 20 days a round trip, except for about seven or eight days to sail on the road, the rest is loading, unloading, and simple rest.

In terms of time, there will be about four or five days before the fleet will come back next, and even if the accident is a few days late, it will not be more than a month at most.

Depending on the situation, Hou Junji should have suddenly attacked on the same day or the next day after the fleet just docked, and the fleet would not have too much defense against the Tang army in Silla, and it was not difficult for them to get on the ship.

"How can a good man rebel?" Li Yuanjing was a little puzzled, although Hou Junji's father and son were both in Silla, and Hou Junji also brought a few concubines over, it is said that his life in the local area was also very comfortable.

But his family is all in the Tang Dynasty, and if Hou Junji transfers his clansmen on a large scale, it will inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court.

Li Yuanjing really couldn't think of why Hou Junji had so much courage to rebel, did he really have the confidence to resist the attack of the Tang army?

Or was he confident that he would be able to stand firm in Silla with 20,000 men? Let the Silla people support him, and let Goguryeo and Baekje attack him without the command of the Tang Dynasty?

"The reason for chasing it is actually on you, you planted the root cause in Silla that day, which led to Hou Junji's rebellion!" Fang Xuanling sighed, Fang Yiai is also in Silla now, not only him, but also Changsun Jian and Cheng Chuliang.

The eldest grandson Wuji is nothing, he is just depressed, and his anger is written directly on his face.

Cheng Zhijie's goods are not so subtle, he directly took the people and horses in Chang'an to take down Hou Junji's family, and even let it go, if Hou Junji dares to touch his son's hair, he will destroy Hou Junji's entire family.

In addition, Cheng Zhijie also ran to Li Shimin and shouted loudly that he wanted the imperial court to give him soldiers and horses, and he would personally go to Silla to destroy Hou Junji.

Although Cheng Zhijie's performance of jumping up and down in Chang'an was very conspicuous, he was still rejected by Li Shimin.

The government soldiers have also been a little tired in the past two years of fighting in the south and the north, and the number of government soldiers is not large, so if they are called again, I am afraid that it will cause sequelae.

And just before Li Daozong wrote to Li Shimin mentioned the situation of the Haizhou Army, Li Ji also said in another letter that the Haizhou Army is actually almost trained, and there is not much that can be improved if it continues to stay here, and the current Haizhou Army needs some wars with little intensity to hone it.

Since the two veterans are so confident, Li Shimin of course thought of the Haizhou Army at this time, and the Oceanwide Expedition, isn't this the counterpart business of the Haizhou Army?

So there is the current edict, on the other hand, Li Shimin is making every effort to mobilize weapons and transport them to the Haizhou military camp, before that, the weapons in the Haizhou military camp were all training weapons, all of which were made by cutting down trees by himself, in fact, it was a long stick, pretending to be a spear, a stick about the length of a knife, pretending to be a knife.

Not only here, but all the government soldiers all over the country are trained in this way!

On the other hand, it is to step up the mobilization of ships, at this time there are no warships that are not warships, and those who can be called warships are lying in the dock, as long as they can go to sea, all of them are within the scope of recruitment, it can be said that this time Li Shimin has taken out all the pots and pans for eating.

Hearing that the reason for Hou Junji's rebellion turned out to be because of the bane he had planted, Li Yuanjing instantly understood the meaning.

It must be because of the subsidy he gave to his 3,000 soldiers!

"It shouldn't be that simple, right? Time is tight, and the room is still straightforward! The scheming Li Daozong saw at a glance that things were not so simple.

Li Ji also saw it, but several people present had higher status than him, so he couldn't ask questions first at this time.

"It's not that simple, in fact, the imperial court had doubts as early as May, according to the previous prediction, and the large gap between the minerals transported back, although Hou Junji said that the Tang army had just taken over, the mining has not been fully launched, and it will resume after a while, but the imperial court still secretly sent people to follow the fleet to find out, and it turned out that Hou Junji was also issuing subsidies to the garrison.

His Majesty took into account the difficulties of Hou Junji, so this matter was not publicized, but asked people to go to Silla to secretly apply for Hou Junji.

Hou Junji told the envoys that the soldiers were far away from home, and they were not allowed to see their relatives all year round, even if they were placed in the past, there would be turmoil in the hearts of the army, and the rules had been broken by your King Zhao, so he had to try his best to appease the morale of the army, and after the subsidies were issued, he found that the soldiers were indeed stable.

The envoy returned to Chang'an with the list of subsidies and the amount, and His Majesty remembered the hardships of the soldiers overseas, and the matter was put aside.

But I didn't expect that the amount of minerals in the next few months still did not increase, and even decreased compared to before, and when the imperial court planned to send people to Silla to investigate again last month, the secret agents that the imperial court had arranged for Silla sent back the news.

The news came a little unexpectedly, and I learned from the Silla miners recruited by His Highness that the official mines recruited hundreds of thousands of Silla miners, not only poor food and housing, but even poor wages.

And those mines in the hands of the imperial court did not exceed 100,000 even in their heyday, since Hou Junji recruited hundreds of thousands of miners, why should he say that they were not fully mined?

This time, His Majesty did not rush to let people apply for Hou Junji, but secretly ordered secret agents to verify the authenticity of the news, but the imperial court has not received the news so far, but first received the news of Hou Junji's rebellion! Fang Xuanling told the matter one by one.

There is not much effective information, but it does not affect the conclusion, Hou Junji is still constantly enriching his own pockets while giving subsidies to soldiers, if his greed is less and he doesn't go too far, this matter will pass.

Li Shimin is a nostalgic person, and he will not kill Hou Junji because of this matter.

And what really forced Hou Junji to rebel, there is a high probability that the secret agent who went to verify the authenticity was discovered, and then the secret agent confessed that he had informed the court of the situation, and now there was no way out for Hou Junji, either wait for death, or establish himself as the king.

"What about Your Majesty's attitude?" Li Yuanjing asked directly.

It is normal for Fang Yiai and them not to find out about Hou Junji's affairs, because in addition to the development and sale of goods in their own mines, they don't worry about other things at all.

But for the handling of this matter, Li Shimin's attitude is very important, as the main general, he didn't ask the problem behind it at the first time, which made Li Yuanjing very embarrassed, how can he not lose face this time?

"Exiled Hou Junji wife and a son in Lingnan ......"
