Chapter 630 Silla

During this period, Li Mao secretly met with Yang Qi, the new envoy of the Zhenwu Army, at the foot of Daqing Mountain.

Yang Qi informed Li Mao of the intelligence of the Uighur Khanate, the overlord of the steppe, and said to Li Mao: "This country is fat and incompetent, dying, and now it is being devoured by its powerful neighbor in the northwest. ”

Li Mao said: "What is the recent situation of the Zhenwu army and the Tiande army with the Uighurs, and whether they can gain the upper hand?" ”

Yang Qi said excitedly: "The elite of the other country is all contained by the Qiangsi, and the south is very empty, and every battle will be won, and it will win a lot. ”

Li Mao said: "Looking at it this way, the Uighurs have run out, alas, but my Datang is not angry, and I can't spare my hands to restore the grassland, can your family alone reproduce the old rule of my Datang?" ”

Yang Qi said: "My family alone will definitely not work, at most restore the north and south of Yinshan." Now Wang Shoucheng is playing tricks on me again, and he has set a nail in Fengzhou, although I can suppress him, I can't free up my hands anymore. Lingzhou was pinned down by the Tubo people and was unable to go north, Hedong Li didn't talk about it, internal strife is an expert, but externally he is a soft egg. What is the situation in Youzhou, can you free your hands? ”

Li Mao said: "Youju is not good, the king of Silla Kim Chong-hee is dead, Kim so-jong is the king, he is incompetent in governing the country, starving to death, and the ministers and people are dissatisfied with him, so he instigates the ministers and people to hate me and shout for war with me, I must first take care of this goods before I can free my hands." ”

Yang Qi sighed: "Even if there is no Silla, you are afraid that you will not be able to free up your hands, Wang Shoucheng sealed He Jintao as the king of Qi, and this guy actually suffered, this is to roast himself on the fire." I heard that you were also named the king of Yan, what are you going to do. ”

Li Mao said: "I'm writing a recital, I won't fall for him." ”

Yang Qi glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "You might as well accept it, I don't think this Li Tang Jiangshan will grow." In the future, the world will be in turmoil, you are the prince, and your surname is Li, and you will be taller than others as soon as you make a move. ”

Li Mao said: "I have been a country for two hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and such a big country, how can I say that it is about to collapse, I really can't figure it out." ”

Yang Qi said: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." Zhenwu is a good place, he jumped out of Datang after crossing Daqingshan, and when he looked back, he understood everything. There are thousands of people in charge of the family, and the person in charge is abolished, the house slave is in charge, is this family okay, Hebei is in chaos, needless to say, now there is a drought in North and South Africa, and there is a shortage of grain and grass in the northwest, so there will be chaos. This is a catastrophe, it is doubtful whether Datang can carry the past, even if it is carried over, the family is empty, how long can it last? ”

Li Mao said: "Let's wait and see what happens." I want to go back to Youzhou, first settle Silla and Bohai, you know what I mean, I advise you to invite the one from Fengzhou back to Chang'an as soon as possible, at the moment Wang Shoucheng's family is dominant, and his backer will not offend you because of a pawn. ”

Yang Qixi said: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The eldest princess of Xian'an had died of illness at the turn of the autumn and winter of the second year of Changqing, but Xiaoru remained in the Uighur royal city to fulfill her mission.

Li Mao sent several times to the Uighur royal city to pick her up, but she politely declined, and she wrote back to Li Mao saying that she had seen the signs of the defeat of the Uighur Khanate, and hoped to stay in the royal city to seek more benefits for the Tang Dynasty and Li Mao.

The little woman has experienced the ups and downs, has matured through training, and is very assertive, and if Li Mao can pick it up without Li Mao's coaxing, she can only be left to her.

Li Mao could only secretly instruct the right wing to send more people in the royal city, so that he could meet her retreat at any time.

On the way back to Youzhou, the armies received new orders from the General Staff Office, requiring them to send elite troops to Liaozhou to participate in the Liaodong military parade scheduled for October this year, so as to deter Silla and Balhae.

This is a beautiful difference, and the applicants are enthusiastic, but the General Staff Office insists that it is only elite.

Soon after Li Mao returned to Youzhou, Su Qing and others also returned to Youzhou City, and after the children were recognized, Li Mao went to Liaodong again, at this moment in Liaodong City, in addition to 20,000 elite horse infantry troops, there are Shi Xiong, Shi Xianzhong, Song Menglong, Mu Dahai, Fang Chuang and other generals, as well as Chang Mucang, Qin Fengmian, Wei Yong, Tian Qian and other powerful figures in Youzhou.

At the beginning of August of the first year of Baoli, Pyongyang Metropolitan Commander Ma and Donghe Qing Navy Commander General Xue were also ordered to come to Liaodong City.

The grand military parade was held in this way, and the momentum was huge, and the envoys of Silla and Bohai and the chiefs of various tribes in Liaodong were invited to watch it on the spot.

At the end of the military parade, Li Mao gathered the generals at the old official residence in Liaodong City and set a plan to defeat Silla. It was decided to personally serve as the generalissimo of the armies, with Chang Mucang as the commander of the camp, Shi Kong as the commander of the camp and horses, Shi Xiong and Song Menglong as the commander of the former army and the deputy commander, Shi Xianzhong and Mu Dahai as the commander of the left wing and the deputy commander, Ma Hedong as the commander of the right army, Fang Chuang as the commander of the rear army, Wang Jian as the commander of the rear commander, Hu Nanxiang as the commander of the camp grain, and the commander of the elite 20,000 people of Ma Bu to conquer Silla in the south.

After years of infighting, Silla has reached the verge of broken mountains and rivers and falling apart, Kim so-jong overthrew Kim Chong-hee to become the king, in order to appease the ministers and the people, a scapegoat must be selected, originally Kim Chong-hee was the most suitable, but he wanted to win over Kim Chong-hee's old department, and it was inconvenient to stalk Kim Chong-hee, so he put all the blame on Li Mao, luring the people to hate the Tang Dynasty, hating Li Mao, causing trouble to reduce his own pressure.

After two years of missionary mobilization, the whole Silla hated the Tang Dynasty to the core, and they were even more eager to eat Li Mao's flesh and gnaw his bones, and they hated the "brazen invasion" of the Tang Dynasty, from the king, the court, to the rural people, and they all made up their minds to fight Li Mao to the death.

The terrain in Silla is complex, and the integration of the military and the people is extremely difficult, which is why Li Mao did not mobilize the army and only chose 20,000 elite troops to march south. It is possible to cause huge casualties due to the mobilization of the army, but now that the people's hearts and the army's morale are stable, they can no longer afford such tragic casualties.

Li Mao sat in Pyongyang City and coordinated the various departments to break through Hanju first, Hanju was the northern gateway to Silla, and if Hanju went down, it would have a base for advancing southward.

Fighting Hanzhou to use a knife, this is Li Mao's strategy set early on, 20,000 troops except for one to guard the enemy in the northeast Shuozhou, the main force went straight to Hanzhou, Xue Lao led the main ships of the Qing Navy to arrive at the city of Hanzhou first, surrounded and annihilated the Silla naval army, and obtained control of the river and sea, and the huge ironclad ships cruised on the wide river, giving the defenders huge psychological pressure.

Seok-woong's army carried a large number of flowering shells, and once the preparation for the war was not incidental, Hanju would be completely destroyed and the determination of the Silla people to resist would be completely broken. However, after the encirclement of the army, Li Mao changed his mind, Kim so-jong knew the importance of Hanzhou, ordered the mobilization of the whole country, and reinforcements from all over the country were constantly going to Hanju City, if the use of flowering shells to blow Hanzhou to the ground at this moment, although it smashed the illusions of the Silla people and opened the northwest gate of Silla, but it would also scare the reinforcements from all over the country, and in the future they would scatter among the mountains and rivers, relying on the steep terrain to resist step by step, but it would be very troublesome.

Li Mao was determined to postpone the attack on Hanju and attract the living forces of Silla.

During this period, Li Mao met with a pirate in Pyongyang City, Que Yi.

Que Yi was a thief in Haizhou in the old days, at that time Li Mao was still in the Qing Navy as a humble general, Li Shigu and Li Shidao brothers fought the law, sent Zhang Shuye as a general, several soldiers and horses went hand in hand, Que Yi had nowhere to go away, and the last journey was sent by Li Mao. After that, he occupied an island off the coast of Sillavuju, where he traded in good years and pirates in bad years.

Li Mao arranged for Kim Chong-hee and Kim so-jong to fight among themselves, and was not very comfortable with the two, so he arranged for the right wing to find Jae-yi and support him to grow into a force in the southeastern part of Silla, so as to act as his internal counterpart at some point in the future.

Under Li Mao's arrangement, Qiyi almost monopolized the trade between the Tang Dynasty and Silla, and the business became bigger and stronger, and the power became stronger and stronger, as if it had become the southern heaven of Silla.

After Kim Chong-hee's death, Silla's finances collapsed, and Kim so-jong's advisors gave him a stupid trick and hit Jae-yi with the idea. Jin Xiuzong was also poor and crazy, and he was worried that Qi Yi would indeed collude with Li Mao, so he instigated the people to rob Qi Yi's more than 30 business inns, and confiscated his property under the pretext that Qi Yi was in Tang.

Sure enough, Li Mao's army crusaded against Silla, and he may not necessarily stand on Li Mao's side for his use, it is very likely that he is stepping on two boats, openly helping Li Mao, and secretly helping Silla, after all, his industries are all in Silla, and the relationships he has worked hard to manage are also in Silla, and the destruction of Silla will not be beneficial to him.

But being made by Jin Xiuzong like this, Qiyi had no return and no way to cry, so he could only fight with him to the end, and heard that Li Mao led the army to the south, and hurriedly came to meet him.
