Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are both relatively standard Tang generals, they act more directly, unlike the eldest grandson Wuji, who likes to play twists and turns.

If you have anything to say, just say it, and if you are in a hurry, draw a knife and do it.

Su Dingfang's background is actually similar to Cheng Yanjin, and his family is from Hebei. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Su family was a powerful landlord in Hebei, and later at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Su Dingfang's father organized a militia to defend the township, and followed the local officials to conquer the people.

At the age of sixteen, Su Dingfang fought with his father in the east and west, and his prestige grew. It's a pity that the end of the Sui Dynasty was a year when he couldn't make up for the sky, and the more he begged for thieves, the more he begged for thieves. In the end, Su's father died on the battlefield, and Su Dingfang inherited his father's soldiers and horses, and finally saw that the Sui Dynasty was hopeless, so he defected to Dou Jiande in Hebei Province and won his trust.

It's just that although Dou Jiande finally occupied most of Hebei, the world still belongs to the Li family after all. After Dou's defeat, Su Dingfang unloaded his armor and returned to the field, and planted the land at home for a period of time. Later, Dou's subordinate Liu Heimin raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, but Su Dingfang still didn't hold back and put on the armor again.

As a result, although Liu Heimin's Li Tang army was defeated for a time, it was finally defeated by Li Jiancheng, and Su Dingfang returned to his hometown to farm again. Soon, Liu Heimin raised an army against the Tang Dynasty for the second time, and Su Dingfang went into battle with a knife again. This time, Liu Heimin's power was even stronger, and in the end, Li Tang had to send Li Shimin to lead the army to conscript.

Liu Heimin failed to defeat Li Shimin and was defeated and died, while Su Dingfang went back to his hometown to farm again.

After planting for a few years, the Tang Dynasty used troops against the Turks, Su Dingfang was conscripted into the army, and Li Jing, who presided over the war, chose Su Dingfang to train a fine cavalry, and a few years later, Li Jing took the Hebei elite cavalry trained by Su Dingfang to smash the Turkic Khan court and break the Turks.

Su Dingfang was also awarded the title of Zhonglang General for his merits.

But perhaps because of his not good experience, among the generals of the Kaitang Dynasty, he was relatively young, so he has been hidden by Taizong, and he has been hidden for more than 20 years.

Su Dingfang has been sitting on the cold bench for more than 20 years and has no complaints.

Now that he has the trust of the new emperor to lead the army to the east, he just wants to repay him with a national soldier, kill those Baekje Goguryeo thieves ruthlessly, and conquer the Korean Peninsula for the emperor.

"I don't have the energy to manage the civil affairs in the rear, and I don't know how to manage them. I'll hand him over to you, and I'll just be in charge of cutting people at the front. ”

At the reception banquet, Su Dingfang drank the wine sent by Chishanpu and said very directly.

Xue Rengui is only in his thirties now, Taizong conquered Liao in his later years, he was enlisted by the edict, and he shined in the military array, and the emperor was directly promoted from a small soldier to a general. The conquest of Liao was his starting point, and he also hoped to make new achievements.

"San Lang, tell me what you plan to do? If there is anything that needs our cooperation, just mention it. ”

Li Xiao put down his wine glass.

He was very touched to have such trust from the two famous generals in the army.

"The two marshals trusted a certain so much, and a certain was deeply moved. A certain will do his best to preside over this rear matter for the second marshal, so that the second marshal has no worries. ”

About the specific operation.

Li Xiao had already had a set of ideas in his heart, he said slowly, and said, "Although there are 40,000 sailors in the Eastern Expedition, after all, it is still only a partial division, and now although Baekje is newly defeated, Goguryeo will definitely send troops and horses to the south next, and Baekje will also gather heavy troops to fight." ”

"Well, you're right, Baekje and Goguryeo have been accumulating strength recently, and if we don't fight before winter, they will come and fight us." Xue Rengui nodded.

"At the moment of the big war, the rear needs stability even more." Li Xiao said to the two, "Since the second marshal trusts a certain person so much, then a certain will go all out." I plan to do the actions on the Wuzhen side here again, clean up those Baekje heroes, pick a few of the strongest and most disobedient Datang families to kill them, and deter other Baekje people. ”

By the way, you can also raid these richest families and use their wealth and food to cover the military.

"The second step is to set up a state school in Daifang Prefecture, and in the name of going to school, let the powerful nobles of Daifang Prefecture send their children to study in the state, which is actually to let them pay protons."

"That's a good idea." Su Dingfang nodded, in fact, they are doing this now, after they captured Daifang Prefecture, they also forced those powerful families to send their children to join the conscription, saying that it was a conscription, but in fact, it was just to let them be hostages, and to stay in the army to make them fearful.

And now Li Xiao said that in the name of studying, he summoned them to the state city and state school, in fact, the effect is the same.

"And then?"

"Then it is to implement the strategy of rent reduction and interest reduction, and if you hit those strong people, you have to give some sweetness to those poor people."

"Recruit the poor and slaves as the state and village warriors, so that the sailors can deal with the conquest with all their might, and draw strength from the rear, and the security of the rear can be taken over by these village warriors in the future."

"Can these people be trusted?"

"You have to train and tame it, and I believe it's available." Li Xiao said confidently, "In the future, these villagers can actually assist the sailors in conquering cities, escorting heavy grain and grass, and transporting prisoners." ”

Su Dingfang laughed, "If someone else said this, I might not believe it, but since it was you Li Sanlang who said it, I believe it." ”

"Then it's Tuntian to build forts and build roads." Li Xiao said another of his plans.

The purge of the powerful Baekje clan is for the sake of stability in the rear. The rent and interest reduction to recruit soldiers is also to gain the support of the Baekje people at the bottom, and at the same time to allow the rear to have a supporting force.

The ultimate goal was to establish order and rule in the conquered lands of Baekje.

"Tuntian, self-sufficient. The Tang army of Baekje can directly get the supply of grain and grass, and do not need to take great pains to transport it from the Central Plains, which can not only save time, but also save food. ”

These words were deeply approved by Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang.

Fighting, although it is said that it is a matter of their generals, but like the current war, it can't be ended in a day or two, especially the cross-sea expedition, they are still a partial division of tens of thousands of people, and the supply of grain and grass is a big problem.

Once the supply of food and grass is insufficient, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not last long.

"Two marshals, as long as we can stabilize the rear and implement the strategy of clearing the fields and census the population, then with the fertile fields of Daifang and Wuzhen, we can levy a lot of grain every year, and through the confiscation of the fields of those fugitive nobles and the government, we can recruit poor Baekje people to collect rent, if it goes well, there will be no problem in being responsible for supplying tens of thousands of sailors to the east."

According to the data obtained by Li Xiao now, Wujinju and Obibang are relatively wealthy places in Baekje, although there are some mountains and islands, but there are also plains.
