"Xue Shuai, Su Shuai, now that Baekje has been destroyed, this Si Hyun City and Baekje Ministers will be handed over to the two of you, and I will go back tomorrow."

Li Xiao broke the silence first.

Su Lie stroked his gray beard and smiled slightly, and said loudly, "What's the hurry, this Baekje has just been destroyed, isn't this Wa Kingdom coming to make trouble again, this war is not over yet." You are resourceful, just to give us a staff officer, and besides, you are still an envoy of Anton Jinglu's pacification, which is also your duty. ”

Xue Rengui also asked Li Xiao to stay temporarily.

As for Liu Boying's accusation against Li Xiao for stealing merit and other things, neither of them mentioned it again.

"How do you think you should deal with the dispatch of troops at this time?" Su Lie asked Li Xiao.

"This is full of famous generals for a while, and I don't dare to talk nonsense as a layman." Li Xiao didn't answer directly.

"You don't have to be modest, if you take 3,000 Xiangyong to take down the king of Baekje without blood, none of us have this ability." Su Lie said directly.

Fighting this thing, whether you attack or outwit, in short, the winner is king, and the most important thing is the result. Su Lie has fought all his life, how can he not understand this truth, in fact, Liu Boying and other generals also understand this truth, but they can't swallow this breath.

"I don't know how Su Shuai plans to do it?" Li Xiao asked rhetorically.

Su Lie said a little helplessly, "Actually, don't hide it from you, we have already received the will of Chang'an before we get here." The DPRK and China believed that since Baekje had been extinguished, the combat mission at this stage had been completed. ”

The emperor's will was to transfer Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang to lead the eastward expeditionary naval division to the north, attack Goguryeo proper, and attack Pyongyang directly.

On the Baekje side, it was handed over to the local officials.

"Forty thousand sailors will all go north?"

"Yes."

Now the imperial court has set up five governors in the land of Baekje, with jurisdiction over 36 prefectures and 180 counties, and officials such as governors, assassins, and county commanders have been selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and will soon arrive one after another to take up their posts.

Even before that, the land conquered by Baekje was ruled under direct jurisdiction, and prefectures were set up as prefectures, and because it was a border region, five prefectures were also established.

"There are a lot of states and counties." Li Xiao put forward his own opinion, Baekje only accounts for one-third of the Korean Peninsula, but there are 36 prefectures, 180 counties, and five prefectures in such a small place, which is indeed too much.

"The newly conquered lands need to be strengthened." Xue Rengui said.

Both Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang will be relieved of their part-time positions in Baekje and will lead 40,000 sailors north to attack Goguryeo.

"The second commander commanded the troops to the north, the rear of Baekje is inevitably too empty, and the newly conquered land, I am afraid that the people of Baekje may not be convinced, if someone fanned the flames, I am afraid that chaos will arise again." Li Xiao sighed.

"The imperial court meant to set up the Andong Protectorate, which governed a large area of land from Jinji in the south, Liaodong in the north, and Yan Ya in the east. The first Anton Protector is General Wei Chi Jingde, and there are two deputy protectors, one is Marshal Cheng Biting Jin, and the other is you. ”

"General Wei Chigong?" Li Xiao was surprised.

Su Lie didn't say it, Li Xiao almost didn't remember the fact that Yu Chigong, the god of war in the early Tang Dynasty, was still alive.

"That one should be almost eighty years old by now, right?"

"Well, not much." Xue Rengui said with a wry smile, Wei Chigong is the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the god of the door together with Qin Qiong.

However, this man was highly successful in his early years, so he was also more domineering, and even once because his seat at the palace banquet was a little behind Li Daozong, he almost knocked out one of the eyes of the people with one punch.

Later, after being warned by Taizong several times, this one was honest. Later, he was even obsessed with alchemy and cultivation all day long, building luxurious villas and gardens at home, and did not go out for more than ten years in Taizong's later years.

In front of an old otaku with peace of mind, but it is also safe.

In the last years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, he persuaded him, Li Shimin did not listen and called him out to lead the troops to accompany him, and after the war, Wei Chigong went home to continue his cultivation.

Li Shimin also practiced the Servant Pill before, but he died as soon as he ate it, and he lived to be in his early fifties. And it is also a miracle that Wei Chigong has been practicing the Dan for decades, and now he is eighty years old, and he is still alive and well.

However, Wei Chigong has indeed not gone out for decades, and he is only asking about the world.

This time, Li Zhi didn't know what to think, and actually put Wei Chigong in the position of the capital protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, it is said that because he invited Yu Chigong out of the mountain, he also deliberately raised the level of the Metropolitan Protectorate to the level of the second-grade Dadu Protectorate.

Li Zhi also added a title to Wei Chigong as a member of the same Zhongshu Sect, which is equivalent to worshipping this as a minister. I don't know what the emperor thinks, anyway, this hand is beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Wei Chigong didn't expect that after receiving the order, it is said that after receiving the order, he replied to the emperor, saying that he could no longer do anything when he was old. But the emperor didn't care, he still worshipped him as a peaceful matter, and awarded him the protector of Anton.

But Wei Chi just refused to go out of the house.

Therefore, the current fact is that although Wei Chigong has the name of the prime minister, he is still cultivating at home, and the political affairs hall is actually equivalent to a lack of one person, and as for the protection of the capital of Andong Dao, it is also an actual shortage.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiao were appointed as deputy capital protectors, and Andong Province north of Baekje returned to Cheng Yanjin, Baekje was under the management of Li Xiao, and Silla was also under the supervision of Li Xiao.

Because of the merit of destroying Baekje, Xue Rengui and Su Lie were both promoted to the rank of county duke, Xue Rengui was named the founding prince of Pingyang County, and Su Lie was named the founding prince of Qinghe County.

In addition to being promoted to the deputy protector of the capital this time, Li Xiao was also promoted to the title of the founding marquis of Lantian County, and directly skipped the earl and was promoted to the marquis.

He is now a serious third-grade high-ranking official.

"The west has not been peaceful recently, before the imperial court transferred the prime minister Cui Dunli to serve as the protector of Anxi, responsible for transferring back the Western Turks who were fighting with the Turks to fight against the Western Turks, but there was no progress, on the contrary, the Western Turkic forces are becoming stronger and stronger. Now the imperial court hopes that Andong's side can defeat Goguryeo as soon as possible, or at least inflict heavy damage on Goguryeo, so that it can no longer threaten the new conquest of Baekje, and then it can send troops and horses from Andong to the west to quell the rebellion. ”

At the same time that the imperial court transferred Xue Rengui and Su Lie to the north, it was to send troops and horses from Cheng Yanjin in Liaodong to the west.

Even Cheng Yanjin may have to be transferred to the west, and it is precisely because of this that Su Xue and the two generals will be transferred north.

"The Turks have always been a problem for my henchmen, although Taizong destroyed the Eastern Turks, but the Western Turks have repeatedly rebelled over the years, this time the court intends to do it once and for all, it seems that it is going to fight a big battle."

Li Xiao is also helpless about this.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje in the east first, so that the east could be stable. But the Western Turks don't give you this time, the more they make trouble, the more they make trouble, if the imperial court does not send troops again, then the Western Regions may fall, and even threaten the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao region, and it is possible that even the Eastern Turkic tribes in the south and north of the desert will be conquered by them, in case the Western Turks really reunify the steppe tribes, then it will be a big trouble.

So, now that the Eastern Crusade has just reached the first stage of victory, the imperial court can't wait to transfer Xue Su and the others to the north.

"The land of Baekje will depend on you in the future. The five governors, the sixteen states, and one hundred and eighty counties all depend on you. ”

"Do I rely on those six thousand villagers?" Li Xiao also smiled bitterly.

"Didn't you still recruit and reorganize thousands of Baekje troops in Sihyun City, and if you can reorganize and reorganize 6,000 more people, you will have 12,000." Su Lie smiled.

"But now the Japanese are attacking Silla again."

"That's the Silla people's own business, they won't be able to defeat even a few thieves, right?" Su Lie didn't take the Japanese people seriously at all, what 37,000 troops, what more than 800 ships fleet, in his eyes was nothing at all.

Not only would he not help the Silla people, but he would also ask the Silla king Kim Chunqiu to send 20,000 to 30,000 men to follow him north to attack Goguryeo, and at the same time, he would also ask the Silla people to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to Li Xiao's command and stay in Baekje.

"I'm afraid that the Silla people may not have beaten the Japanese people."

Li Xiao expressed his worries, but the result did not attract the attention of Xue Su and the others.

In their eyes, the only real enemy was Goguryeo.

After only three days in Sixian City, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang took the water divisions of the two armies to the north, and entered Baekje for a year, with 40,000 water divisions of the two armies, and there were still more than 30,000 people left at this time, and about 3,000 people were reduced, of which more than 1,000 were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers were assigned to Li Xiao's command to serve as the head officer of Yong in other places.

As soon as the sailor left, Li Xiao immediately felt the crisis.

In such a large place, 180 counties in 16 prefectures, he only had 6,000 Xiangyong on hand, 6,000 Baiji troops, and a personal guard of 1,000 people.

In addition to the fact that these more than 1,000 guards are composed of Tang people, the 12,000 village warriors and soldiers are all Baekje people.

The decree was issued from Chang'an.

Li Xiao was appointed as the deputy governor of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and concurrently served as the Governor of the Xiongjin Metropolitan Mansion and the Assassin History, and also served as the pacification envoy of the Andong Provincial Economic Strategy, the regimental training observation envoy, and the Yingtian transfer envoy.

Now in Baekje, the newly conquered land of three acres and three points, Li Xiao alone has the military, political, financial, and personnel powers.

Liu Boying, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was awarded the title of Governor of Mahan Prefecture and Assassin History;

Zuo Wei Zhonglang awarded Wang Wendu as the governor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty and the assassin of the history.

Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang awarded Liu Renyuan as the governor of the De'an Governor's Mansion and the history of the assassination.

Sun Renshi, the general of the Right Weiwei, was awarded the title of Governor of Jinlian Prefecture and Assassin Shi.

Liu Renliang was awarded the title of Governor of Xiongjin Prefecture.

These five people can be regarded as the right-hand men left by the imperial court to Li Xiao.

The emperor did not give the festival to Li Xiao Shuangjing double festival, Jing to reward, festival to kill, line to build a festival, tree six, the festival includes two door flags, one side of the dragon and tiger, one section, two guns, two leopard tails, a total of eight pieces. The festival is made of gold and copper leaves, and the flag is made of nine pieces of red silk, which is equipped with a copper dragon head coated with gold and shaped like a wooden plate.

"Congratulations!"

Although there is no official official position of festival envoy now, Li Xiao has double festivals and is already a veritable festival envoy.

Although Liu Boying and other generals had a little conflict with Li Xiao before, they didn't dare to have half a bit of contempt before this festival.

Li Xiao, who has a festival, can cut them first and then play.
