Chapter 1699 A Mistake is a Thousand Miles
Because Han Yi has a detailed plan to do things, and now that the materials for the winter have been delivered in place, Han Yi is not here, which is of little significance, and this side is a traditional battlefield, which is more suitable for Yang Sixun, and Baekje's side is a new model, he can play a greater role there, he feels that he should change with Yang Sixun.
"By the way, Guan Guogong, you suddenly came here, what about the logistics over there?"
Han Yi asked very tactfully.
It's terrifying that you, the deputy head of logistics, suddenly leave your post without permission.
Yang Sixun hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that everything has been arranged over there, and it is much easier than here, because now the Silla Army is also helping to transport food to the front line, and Liu Tingshi is also helping to watch, and I was basically dealing with merchants when I was there." β
Han Yi was a little relieved at this time, and asked curiously: "The Silla army helps us deliver food?" β
Yang Sixun nodded, and told Han Yi about the Silla Army.
This is really something that Han Yi never expected, and he was stunned for a while before he sighed: "Forget it, forget it, if you don't meet a few pig teammates in your life, it can't be said to be a complete life." He actually has a very open view of this kind of thing, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, people are so useless, what can you do, and asked: "But in this way, isn't it very difficult for General Su?" β
Su Dingfang didn't have many people along the way, only more than 20,000 people, and what he originally expected was that he would join forces with Silla, so that the strength would be very considerable, but who would have thought that Silla would be so useless.
Yang Sixun said: "General Su's side is still able to deal with it easily, but General Su still hopes to send him some more troops, so that he can expand the results of the battle." β
Han Yi nodded and said, "I'll tell the chief manager about this." β
After the two finished talking, Han Yi went to Li Ji and said that he was going to change shifts with Yang Sixun, and told Li Ji about the situation in Silla, hoping to send some additional troops to Su Dingfang.
Li Ji agreed very happily, he was also afraid that if Su Dingfang lost, Baekje and Silla would be threatened, although the southern front was only a secondary battlefield, but the meat in this mouth could not be spit out, and Baekje could not be revived. Moreover, now the front line cannot break through, if you can make some things in the south, it can also be the pressure of the front line, and because of the combined forces, the battle line is shortened, and the strength of the front line is relatively sufficient, so it was decided to send an additional 7,000 troops, including 3,000 sailors, so that Dugu Wuyue led the troops and went over by boat to reinforce Su Dingfang.
In fact, he originally planned to let Liu Renyuan lead the troops over, but Han Yi thought that the rear was still dominated by Su Dingfang, but Su Dingfang's status in the army was relatively low, although he was in charge of the capital in the past, but it was all in the northwest region, in the Central Plains, he had no reputation, if Liu Renyuan was transferred to the past, I was afraid that there would be an uncoordinated situation, who to listen to, this is a problem, transfer Dugu Wuyue to lead the troops, but it is conducive to Su Dingfang's command.
After this news spread, Gao Kan, Cheng Mingzhen and other generals immediately came to find Han Yi.
"I said Han Shangshu, you are really, that side is only a secondary battlefield, our side is the main battlefield, you go there as a pacification envoy to do something, don't go, just stay here."
"It's not that we are squeezing out Guan Guogong, but now the officers and men in the army trust you very much, if you leave, our morale will be affected, we are thinking about the overall situation."
......
The generals said that they were high-sounding, and they wanted Han Yi to stay.
When the war first started, no one wanted to see Han Yi, Han Yi was also a thief, and he was under pressure to see him, but now it is different, Han Yi is the God of Wealth, Yang Sixun is just an errand runner, this God of Wealth is gone, and I am always uneasy in my heart!
Han Yi sighed: "What can I do about this, whoever makes the world just me Han Yi, General Su will also be jealous, after fighting for so long, they haven't seen me yet, I also have to balance, stay here for two days, why don't you live there for a day." β
Wow! You're so shameless!
Gao Kan despised Han Yi one after another, and he couldn't talk happily.
Han Yi said again: "But please rest assured, the generals should rest assured, the logistics here have been arranged, the grain, grass, and materials have been delivered in place, Guan Guogong only needs Xiao Gui Cao Sui, plus, I have to talk to those businessmen and let them increase their investment, so that our soldiers can eat better and dress warmer, I am not the God of Wealth, they are."
Gao Kan is right to think about it, this money is not from Han Yi, but from those businessmen, and it is very important to fool them.
So, Han Yi and Yang Sixun completed the handover work, and rushed to Baekje with Dugu Wuyue, commanding 7,000 troops. In fact, the number of people is not very large, but there are not many soldiers and horses in the Tang Army, and seven thousand is the largest amount given by Li Ji.
But Dugu Wuyue is very happy, here, there is nothing to do with him, except for patrolling, nothing is his turn, when attacking Daxing City, it is also Liu Renyuan who is willing to command the sailors, because his official position is too young, and his age is too young, and he is not even qualified to hold a meeting. But Su Dingfang's side is different, there are only two or three commanders over there, one of whom is still Wenchen, he has long wanted to go there.
.......
At this time, Chang'an was indulging in a sea of joy, the east and west lines have achieved a very big victory, in just a few months, Baekje was wiped out, Baekje's royal family was escorted to Chang'an on the way, this is the merit of destroying the country, plus the two battles on the western front won a big victory, Li Zhi also accounted for half of the credit for these two battles, although it was suggested by Cui Jijian, but it was secretly arranged by Li Zhi, and few people in the court and China knew.
The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces slapped Li Zhi's ass to death, this is really a martial arts, and the two emperors of Wuhan and Wen of the Han Dynasty can compete with our emperor together.
Lee Ji was also very happy, and the whole country had a three-day holiday to celebrate the elimination of Baekje.
Today's holiday is really popular with the people, the court used to be on holiday, that is, the officials were happy, the people's words, you don't have a holiday, I still have to farm, now the court announced the holiday, the workshop also has to be on holiday, the workers are very happy, shouting long live, and celebrate.
But just when the people of Chang'an were celebrating the victory, an urgent report made the government and the opposition stunned.
Khotanese is lost!
Before the wine had cooled, the slap in the face came.
What an embarrassment!
Inside the Liangyi Palace.
"How can it be justified, how can it be justified."
Li Zhi slapped the table and said, "Pei Xingjian, he dares to make decisions without authorization, and I will not be able to spare him this time." β
It turned out that not long after Pei Xingjian left, Nazan Xiruo led a large army and attacked Khotan, while Su Haizheng was relatively bold, and when he saw the vigorous momentum of the Tubo army, he was cowardly, so he did not resist stubbornly, and when he saw the disparity in strength, he abandoned the city and fled. But Su Haizheng is an old driver after all, of course he will not say that he escaped, he will put all the responsibility on Pei Xingjian, saying that Pei Xingjian first did not listen to his orders, pursued the enemy, expanded the results, and then left his post without permission, which led to the Khotanese Mansion being broken by the enemy, he knew that many people in the court wanted Pei Xingjian to die, and these people would definitely help him cover up the truth of the facts, and he could reverse black and white at will.
Sure enough, Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has long said that Pei Xingjian is the eldest grandson Wuji's person, he has long had a different heart, and he is not credible, according to the old minister's opinion, he must have colluded with those old Turkic nobles and plotted against him, and the old minister implored His Majesty to sentence Pei Xingjian to death." β
"Quasi-play!"
Li Zhi was already fainting out of breath, and he was so beaten in the face that he didn't even think about it, so he made a decision.
Wei Siqian hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, at present, it is only Su Haizheng's words, and he should investigate in detail before drawing conclusions." β
Xu Jingzong snorted: "Wei Zhongcheng, now that the situation in the northwest is precarious, if everything is still done step by step, and the northwest territory will be lost, can you afford this responsibility?" Besides, what is there to investigate in this case, General Su has been guarding Khotan, but Pei Xingjian left his post and went to Gongyue City without permission, this fact is louder than words. β
Li Zhi also said: "Xu Aiqing is reasonable, and there is no need to discuss this matter." β
When Wei Siqian saw it, it was inconvenient to say more, this was not a simple party struggle, but it was about the society of the country, so he could only retreat.
Lu Chengqing came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that dealing with Pei Xingjian is only secondary, and the most urgent task at present is how to pacify the rebellion in the northwest. β
Li Zhi frowned and said, "You Aiqing don't know what a good plan is?" β
Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Now that the generals who can fight well in the DPRK and China are all in the Liaodong region, according to the minister's opinion, Ashina Mi Shot and Qi Bi He Li can be transferred to the northwest, with these two people, the northwest will soon be pacified." β
Xu Yushi immediately stood up and said: "No, no, now the war situation in Liaodong is scorching, if the two generals are transferred to the northwest, I am afraid that the battle of Liaodong will fall short, and the gains outweigh the losses." β
Xu Jingzong said: "Now that our army has reached the Yalu River, Goguryeo is already at the end of the crossbow, and there is no need to worry about it. Besides, even if you give up, it should be, and the land of Goguryeo's projectiles can't be compared to the northwest. β
Li Zhi was hesitant when he heard this, the Battle of Liaodong had been prepared for so many years, he really didn't want anything to go wrong, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent all the commanders of the Tang Dynasty over, but the northwest land is also very important!
Xu Yushi said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can recruit troops and horses from Beiting and other prefectures and counties, and Su Haizheng will lead the army to reinforce the capital and protect the palace, not to ask him to win, but to be able to drag down the Tubo army, and wait until the end of the Liaodong Campaign, and then come to settle with Tubo, and this news must not be transmitted to Liaodong, otherwise, it will affect the morale of the army." β
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Just according to Qing's words." β
After the end of this meeting, Li Zhi thought about it, but he was still very anxious, and now that Li Ji and the others were not there, he had no bottom in his heart, at this time, he thought of one person, that is, Cui Jiji.
It was Cui Jijian who reminded him at the beginning, and Cui Jijian's prediction was completely correct, but because Cui Jijian's official position was too small to participate in the cardinal meeting, he hurriedly ordered someone to recruit Cui Jijian into the palace.
When Cui Jijian heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, Pei Xingjian must not be killed!" β
Li Zhi was confused when he heard this, and said: "He delayed the fighter plane and left his post without permission, which put my Tang Dynasty in a dilemma, and a hundred lives are not enough to compensate, so why is it wrong for me to kill him." β
Cui Jijian said: "Your Majesty, if Pei Xingjian has different aspirations, why would he do so much, he could have united with Tubo to seize Khotan, instead of fighting bravely to kill the enemy and repel the Tubo army, it can be seen that Pei Xingjian is loyal to Your Majesty." And Pei Xingjian is just a member of the army, Su Haizheng is the commander, why did he decide whether to pursue the enemy, why did he go to Gongyue City, His Majesty just asked him to assist Su Haizheng in defending Khotan, according to the minister's opinion, this must have been Su Haizheng who asked him to go to Gongyue City to quell the rebellion, and it must have been Su Haizheng's order not to pursue.
Moreover, even if Pei Xingjian led his troops to leave, with the strength of Khotan, it would not last only a few days before it was broken by the Tubo army, Su Haizheng was the culprit, if His Majesty killed Pei Xingjian, and then handed over the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to Su Haizheng, the entire northwest would fall into the hands of Tubo. β
