Just after the New Year of the first year of Xianheng (670 AD), Li Yu, the king of Yan, played: The remnants of Goguryeo, the protectorate of Andong Prefecture, are not grateful to me for the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty, and repeatedly attacked and killed the officials appointed by the imperial court, colluding with each other and rebelling. The retainers of the pen and the court of the www.biquge.info voluntarily went to the town as the vassal king to appease the remnants of Goguryeo.

In the best way, Li Yu, the king of Yan, was crowned as the protector of the capital of Andong, and Li Xulun, the king of Ji, was renamed the protector of the capital of the capital of the capital of Shan Yu. Andong is in turmoil, King Yan is young, and he is allowed to sit in Youzhou and not go to Andong without authorization.

In March, the south of the Yangtze River is already full of flowers, but there is heavy snow in Liaodong from time to time.

A few days of heavy snow covered the land on both sides of the Liao River with a thick layer of snow, and a Xuanjia cavalry walked from west to east in the snowfield.

From a distance, this cavalry looks like a long black dragon, which looks extremely abrupt in the snow-white world.

Up close, everyone is dressed in black and armor, and even the flag is a white dragon (the white dragon refers to the return of the great sage in Journey to the West). I saw that the back of the white dragon with teeth and claws in the center of the banner was flashing with a round gold pattern "Tang".

It turned out that this was a Tang army, which made the people of all ethnic groups in Liaodong who went out hunting and saw this Tang army very confused: Aren't the Tang troops all wearing red robes and silver armor, and senior generals wearing gold armor? Why is this army under the banner of the Tang Army all black clothes, black armor and black flags?

Ignoring the occasional passer-by who looked at them suspiciously, the whole army drove towards the east solemnly.

"This is Liaodong, the land of Liaodong that has poured the countless blood of my Chinese ancestors."

Out of the team, a young man dressed in Xuanjia, rode a sweaty horse that was as black as ink and looked at the land of Liaodong covered in silver, and could not hide the excitement in his expression and sighed.

Who will this young man be?

"Your Highness, the situation in Liaodong is uncertain, and the rebels of Goryeo (Goryeo is the abbreviation of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty) often haunt various parts of Andong, is it too dangerous for us to run here with a few thousand people?" Chen Xuan, the deputy pawn of the Yanwang Mansion, said worriedly.

"I'm still afraid of a fart when I'm here, so I can't just cross the Liao River and shrink back as a turtle. If this is the case, won't the name of our Royal Highness's Yan King be laughed at by Siyi? ”

Wang Hu, who was a pawn soldier, was very single, full of red light, and he was as excited about coming to Liaodong as the young man in front of him, and he sneered at Chen Xuan, who was worried about this and that.

It turned out that the young man was Wu Minzhi, the handsome and talented young woman in the heart of the handsome and talented young woman and the heart and soul of Mrs. Rongguo, who made a fuss in Chang'an some time ago, and offended his grandmother Li Yu, the king of Yan.

Li Yu of this meeting is wearing a Xuanjia heroic posture, quite a bit of a pointer, scolding Fang Xuan's arrogance.

"Click."

The branches of the tree couldn't bear the snow and broke, and the lump of snow accumulated on the tree directly hit Li Yu, who was looking up at the sky, and smashed the heroic temperament just now.

"Bah......" The snow fell into Li Yu's mouth, and there was a trace of rotten leaves, which made Li Yu very embarrassed.

Wang Hu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pat off the snow on Li Yu's body, Li Yu came back to his senses and said to his generals: "Wang Hu is right, since this king is here, he can't run back to Youzhou for nothing, otherwise not only will the world laugh at this king, but Siyi will despise me for the Tang Dynasty and the Goryeo rebels?" It's just a rabble, so what to fear. ”

Li Yu looked directly at the generals of the palace who had followed him for three years, and said, "Haven't you always been eager to make contributions to the frontier and make a name for yourself in Siyi?" Complaining that there are too many famous generals in the army and pressing your young generation to not get ahead. Why, no one will be cowardly when they come now, and the cowardly King Shu Ben will not be far away. ”

"What His Highness said, since I joined the army, the word 'cowardice' has not appeared in my mind. Since His Royal Highness took us to Liaodong to fight Dongyi, I went directly to chop melons and vegetables. Zhang Shi, another deputy pawn of the Family Mansion, patted his chest heroically, opened his mouth and closed his mouth to compete with Gao Liman.

Li Yu's eyes swept over the other generals, and Xue Ne, Wang Hu, Chen Xuan and others were so excited by Li Yu's words that they gave up their hands one after another: "We are willing to follow His Highness and make contributions to the border." ”

"Okay." Li Yu looked at the generals with satisfaction and said: "Let us go to meet the Goryeo people for a while, and use their heads to accumulate our military merits, so that the older generation of generals can see that they have successors." ”

"Let's go."

Li Yu looked at the army heading east with excitement, and cherished his thirteen-year dream. At this moment, I finally embarked on the road of my dream.

For the sake of the current army, Li Yu has spent three years of painstaking management, and has hidden his military strength in the form of establishing a dart bureau and a security company to recruit Jianghu knights, and recruiting guards in industries such as Mingyuexuan, Xiaoyaodrunk, and Xinxiangdian.

He finally went to the fiefdom Youzhou a year ago, giving himself the opportunity to vigorously develop his industry, work hard to make money, and secretly build weapons and armor.

In three years, the craftsmen who spent a lot of money to improve the process of making ordnance and armor finally created the ordnance and armor needed by the 3,000 army in one year, and extracted 3,000 people from the industrial guard to form the Xuanjia army in front of them.

In order to hide this Xuanjia army so as not to be suspicious of others. Li Yu was even more painstaking, before deciding to go to Liaodong, this army had always existed in the form of military tun clearing wasteland and cultivating land to provide military rations for the Youzhou army.

It's called Juntun, but in fact, it only takes one day off after six days of training.

As for the grain produced by the Xuanjia Army's nominal military cantonment, Li Yu had already purchased grain from all over the country through his own industry and put it in the Xuanjia Army's garrison.

Anyway, Li Yu is the governor of Youzhou, and the garrison of Youzhou, the largest military town in Hebei, is under his control. Be careful, there is no problem in not being discovered by those civil officials.

In addition, many of the Xuanjia army were actually deserters on the battlefield in Liaodong for various reasons, and they could not return to their hometowns and could only wander around, or work as guards for caravans to make a living.

Nuo did not Li Yu sent people everywhere to collect these deserters who fled from the battlefield in Liaodong, and many of them were afraid that they would be caught by local governments and executed or enslaved by military law, and even their families would be reduced to slaves.

These people who were convicted were searched by Li Yu, and they were destined to be able to clear the charge of deserters with the help of Li Yu only by working for Li Yu.

Most of them are deserters, and most of them are not afraid of death.

Li Yu personally questioned them, and the reason why he became a deserter was that the Tang Army's military law was too strict, and the march was delayed due to rain and snow, and if he was separated during the battle and failed to return to the team in time, he might be beheaded.

This is not the most important thing, the real reason why they became deserters is that the military discipline in the Tang army has long since ceased to be in the Taizong period.

Many officers often let soldiers die for the property of their soldiers, so that they can be greedy for the private wealth carried by the soldiers, and the rewards and punishments for military merits are not clear, so that they lose their yearning for being soldiers and fighting.

What's more, the perennial war has not been matched by the actual benefits, which has made them war-weary, and many people have deserted and become deserters.

But for Li Yu, who has more than 1,000 years of knowledge, there are ways to make soldiers profit from the war, plus copying the military discipline of the Tang Army, will they still be willing to be deserters?

With these soldiers who were originally soldiers, plus those recruited rangers, after training, they can be regarded as a mighty division with neat steps and strict military style.

In order to improve the actual combat capability of this new army, Li Yu also dragged them to suppress bandits in various parts of Youzhou, attacking the small tribes of Xi and Turkic people in the north, who often harassed the Han people.

"Hey, I'm actually very worried!" Li Yu muttered quietly without paying attention.

No matter how well the Xuanjia army is trained, there are only 3,000 people.

According to his poor historical knowledge, this year is the Goguryeo Rebellion, there are many rebels, and the 3,000 people in his hands are really worried that the dream will not be realized, so he will hang in Liaodong first.

His father forbade him to go to Anton, but as the governor of Youzhou, he could not mobilize the Youzhou garrison, so Li Yu could only take this secretly formed private army to Liaodong.

Liaodong originally had a garrison of 20,000 but Xue Rengui had been transferred to Longyou to guard against Tibet, and now there are very few garrisons in Andong, so it would be strange to say that Li Yu was not worried.

"I hope that Cui Xuan can rush to Liaodong with people as soon as possible, otherwise my best ending will only be trapped in Liaodong and unable to attack."

Li Yu moved his gaze to the vast land of the strict army, thinking of the time when Yan General Qin Kai went on an expedition to Donghu to expand the land of Liaodong for thousands of miles, and officially incorporated the land of Liaodong into our Huaxia. Later, the former Sui, Taizong, and the father emperor conquered Liaodong, and finally recaptured the ancestral land after decades.

It is a pity that Liaodong has been gradually occupied by Goguryeo since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and it has been far away from China for hundreds of years.

Although Goguryeo was destroyed, the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo continued to try to restore the country, and Silla supported the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo behind it. Even two years have passed, but the land of Liaodong still cannot truly return to China.

Alas, Li Yu sighed, the situation in eastern Liaodong has become more and more severe, and the rise of Tubo in the west has repeatedly entered the west of the Kou River, Longyou, and Jiannan, which is really eventful.

What Li Yu didn't know was that when he led his army across the Liao River, Silla sent Sha Lu and the old Goguryeo general Gao Yanwu each led 10,000 elite soldiers to cross the Yalu River and enter the Black Bone City. It was planned to divide the Andong Protectorate into two parts, north and south, so as to block the Tang Dynasty reinforcements and encircle and annihilate the Tang army stationed in the area of Pyongyang in the south of Andong.

The Anton Protectorate reported Anton's great changes to Chang'an with Pegasus Express, but unfortunately Li Yu came by secret march and did not get this military information.

At the same time, Tubo invaded the Western Regions on a large scale, captured eighteen feudal states such as Baizhou in the Western Regions, and joined forces with Khotan to trap Qiuci to exchange cities.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Datang was forced to strike the four towns of Anxi.

The saint immediately appointed the general of Right Weiwei, Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, as the general manager of the march of the Luosa Road, and Ashina Daozhen and Guo Zhifeng as the deputy commanders to defeat Tibet.

Waiting for Li Yu in front was not only the Silla Goguryeo coalition army, but also the Goguryeo relict Jian Mou Cen was preparing to support Ahn Sun, the grandson of the Goguryeo treasure king, as the king of Goguryeo in Jaeyeong-gun, in order to gather a crowd to oppose the Tang Dynasty.
