Chapter 168 The official wants the overlord to bow hard
After Lu Chang returned to Danyang, it was indispensable to be busy again, and during this time, he left Jiangnan to go out to fight, and the affairs accumulated at home needed to be dealt with in a hurry.
The busier you are, the more people are adding to the chaos, no, the Baekje envoy is back.
The last time Baekje envoys came to the Great Sui Dynasty to ask for support, they were just in time for the Yu culture and rebellion, and mutinied and killed the Great Sui Emperor. As a result, the Baekje envoy was stranded in Jiangdu City, and as a result, such errands were taken over by Lu Chang.
Later, Lu Chang put forward his prerequisites, and if the conditions proposed by Jiangnan could be met, he could send troops to the peninsula and let the Baekje envoys go back to discuss.
It seems that Baekje has negotiated internally, and the conditions are naturally agreed, otherwise he would not have returned to Jiangnan again so soon. Since you're here, summon you.
"Baekje envoy Park Can has seen the Great General of the Kingdom, and the Great General is mighty!"
"Well, you're back so soon. Or is it for the last time? Have you all discussed the conditions proposed by the kingdom? Tell me, how exactly is it decided? ”
"Great General, Baekje is a vassal state of the Great Sui and has always obeyed the orders of the upper kingdom.
Now Silla and Goguryeo did not respect the orders of the kingdom, and the army set up troops on the border of Baekje, killed our people and invaded our territory, and asked the general to uphold justice and send troops to punish Silla and Goguryeo.
Baekje has made a decision to resolutely abide by the arrangement of the upper country, and the military and civilians of the whole country will follow the dispatch of the upper army, and as long as the upper country can send troops to teach those Silla and Goguryeo who do not obey the indoctrination, Baekje will fully support it. ”
This Baekje envoy said quite resolutely, it seems that he is determined to let Shangguo send troops, if it was in the previous period of the world's division of power, Jiangnan would definitely not consider sending troops to attack Goguryeo and Silla.
However, when the situation is already favorable to Jiangnan, it is possible to consider letting the army cross the sea to fight on the peninsula.
Jiangnan Water Division has been preparing for such a long time, and it is time to take it out to play a role.
What kind of heart is Baekje playing Lu Chang understands very well in his heart, but Lu Chang doesn't care about their Baekje's conspiracy and calculations, Lu Chang also has his own calculations in his heart, so naturally he will not let the small country of Baekje take advantage of the loophole.
Lu Chang is a modern person, he doesn't have so many rules and regulations, and he won't help others trap himself like Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor.
"In this way, Silla and Goguryeo are so rampant that they dare to oppress Baekje, and they don't even take the kingdom of God in their eyes, and it is indeed detrimental to the majesty of the kingdom if they don't teach them a lesson.
Since Baekje can obey the dispatch, it is not impossible to deal with Silla and Goguryeo with the forces of the two countries, and Shangguo can consider sending troops.
In this case, the dispatch of troops requires the preparation of troops, and the general plans to send 10,000 troops to the front station, choose a landing site along the coast, and train the Baekje army first, so as to prepare for war after the landing of the army.
After that, the army of Shangguo landed in Baekje in batches. First, he sent troops to help Baekje defeat or destroy Silla, and then he considered the threat of Goguryeo. How is it? ”
"The subject state of Baekje is extremely grateful to the general, and the state of Baekje will definitely come together to fully support the first qiē operation of the upper kingdom. In this battle, it is absolutely unambiguous that some of the dignitaries on the Baekje side want food and some food. ”
"Well, though, you can't send too many troops, and if you send too much, I'm afraid Baekje's supply of food and grass will be a problem, right?"
"The general can rest assured that this year's Baekje harvest will be a bumper harvest, and the grain and grass will not be a problem, which is enough for the consumption of 100,000 troops.
It was because of the bumper harvest in Baekje that the greed of Silla and others was aroused, and because Silla had a bad harvest this year, they sent troops to oppress Baekje. The only deficiency in Baekje is the lack of weapons, and even the army is not fully equipped. ”
"Don't worry too much about weapons and equipment, General Ben has his own way to solve it, don't worry. Okay, then, for now, you wait here for a few days, and then, once the army is ready, go back with the army.
After returning home, it is necessary to choose the landing site of the follow-up army first, and hoard grain and grass, and the Baekje army must obey the dispatch of the caravan, otherwise, the people will not be aligned, and the army will not coordinate with each other and it will be difficult to confront Silla and other countries. ”
"Obey the general's instructions, and Baekje will fully cooperate."
That's it! Pei Shiju and Chen Ling didn't expect Lu Chang to agree to the request of the Baekje envoy so neatly, so they had to make it difficult anyway.
Baekje's envoy Park Jar bid farewell to the general Lu Chang, returned to the post house to rest, and waited to return to Baekje with the Jiangnan army.
Su Wei was a little worried, Jiangnan sent a large number of troops to Baekje to fight, and the military strength of the Jiangnan army and other forces would definitely decline, and would it affect the situation in the Central Plains?
"General, isn't it too easy to promise Baekje. After all, now that the Central Plains has just been pacified, the Jiangnan army can't be withdrawn too much. ”
Pei Shiju also felt the same way, and followed Su Wei and said: "Yes, general, Baekje is a subject country after all, Jiangnan still has to focus on the Central Plains, even if it is not too late to send troops until the world is unified, why do you agree to Baekje's request so happily." ”
Lu Chang smiled, he knew what the two of them were worried about.
"It's okay, the battle for world domination is not achieved overnight, be patient. Besides, the peninsula is also an important area.
Now, along the Yellow River, our side is on the defensive, so that too many troops south of the Yangtze River will not be involved.
Besides, Li Tang lost the main army this time, and it was certain that he would be injured, and in the next part, the situation in Guanzhong will definitely be erosive, where can Li Tang still take care of the Central Plains?
Hebei Dou Jiande is afraid that he will be busy dealing with surrounding forces for the time being, and he will not pose a threat to the Jiangnan army. As long as the Jiangnan Army has half a year, the situation on the peninsula will inevitably turn out in our favor. Wait and see, two adults. ”
Su Wei and Pei Shiju knew that Lu Chang was magical, and since Lu Chang was sure in his heart, it was difficult for the two of them to say anything. In fact, these two people just reminded me that they really can't help much militarily.
"The general is thoughtful, and we will follow the general's orders."
"By the way, the Jiangnan Army dominates the area south of the Yellow River, the territory is larger, the population has increased a lot, and it still needs to relieve countless victims, which requires a large amount of food supply, and now the grain reserves in Jiangnan are enough?"
Su Wei took a step forward and said, "Fortunately, the wind and rain in Jiangnan are smooth and the grain is harvested, otherwise, it would be really troublesome to increase the population that eats so much." At present, it is not a problem, as long as it can be sown in spring next year, if the weather is good, this level will be passed. ”
"That's good, the two adults work a lot, people take food as the sky, and if there is no food to eat the world, it will not be stable.
The officials stationed in the newly occupied areas must be well selected and honest, and those corrupt officials and unscrupulous people dare to stretch out their hands to be corrupt, arrest one and kill another, and must not condone them. ”
"No, General, my subordinates understand."
The world is in chaos, the smoke is everywhere, coupled with natural disasters, there is no food in the ground, and there are too many people in the world who have no food.
Although the war caused a sharp decline in the population, after all, the area occupied by the Jiangnan army this time was too large, and the burden on Jiangnan was indeed very heavy. If Lu Chang hadn't been prepared, it would have been really difficult to deal with the current predicament.
This also depends on the stability of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, plus Shuzhong took it down early, these two large areas jointly support the vast areas of Henan and Shandong between the two rivers, otherwise, it is really hard to say.
After Su Wei and Pei Shiju left, Lu Chang asked Zhang Yu to be called.
"My subordinates have seen the general, but I don't know what orders my subordinates have?"
"Ziyu, I'm going to arrange an important task for you today. Gangnam had already agreed to send troops to Baekje to fight against Silla, and the next step was to fight Goguryeo. This task is arduous and of great significance, and after thinking about it for a long time, General Ben still decided to let you lead your troops there. ”
"Ah, go to Baekje to fight? This one...... Our Jiangnan Army has not yet unified the world, but we want to help Baekje, why is this? ”
With how Emperor Yang Guang lost the country, he Zhang Yu also knew that the three expeditions of the Great Sui Dynasty to Goguryeo hastened the demise of the Sui Dynasty, although it was not the only reason, at least its components accounted for a large proportion. Lu Chang made this show today, can Zhang Yu not be worried?
"Hehe, isn't the peninsula where Baekje is located also a part of the world?"
This sentence made Zhang Yu catch something in his heart at once, but it was not clear, could it be that the general had any intentions?
"The Great General means ......"
"The Baekje envoys wanted to borrow the hand of the kingdom to defeat their opponents, and they thought beautifully.
But this general is not the Sui Emperor Yang Guang, and he doesn't have so much kindness to make wedding clothes for others. They have their purpose, and we have our strategy.
Master Su and Master Pei were here just now, so I didn't elaborate.
But you are the chief general of this military operation on the peninsula, so you must understand it in your heart.
The previous peninsula was the territory of my Han family, and the future peninsula should also be our territory, and this cannot be changed. Since Baekje has a calculating mind, it would be better for us to take advantage of the opportunity to march into the peninsula. Do this and this and that...... Got it? ”
"Oh, oh my God, the general is really smart, and his subordinates will live up to their trust."
Lu Chang's detailed explanation finally made Zhang Yu understand the calculation of the general Lu Chang, and this is the real cleverness to defeat raze.
"This time I sent troops, Ziyu is the commander-in-chief, let Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing be your deputies, and try to select our old subordinates, so that it is easy to act and easy to use."
"Yes, my subordinates have written it down. In the next few days, preparations will be made, and subordinates will send troops to the peninsula at any time. ”
"Go, when the army occupies the port and is ready to go down, I will lead the army across the sea to join you, sweep the peninsula, and firmly control the situation on the peninsula."
"No, my subordinates will retire."
It stands to reason that Lu Chang should not send troops to the peninsula before the world is reunified, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo have failed, and a million troops can't do anything, can it be done by relying on the Jiangnan Army?
Lu Chang also considered this issue, but the first target of the Jiangnan Army's cross-sea operation was not Goguryeo, but to deal with Silla first.
After all, Silla was a small country, and its military strength was much worse than that of Goguryeo.
The important thing is that Lu Chang didn't want to let go of this opportunity, when he heard that the Baekje envoy asked for help, Lu Chang began to calculate in his heart.
If you miss this opportunity for Baekje to ask for help, you don't know when you will have an excuse to enter the peninsula. Since the Baekje envoy is here, why not take this opportunity to send troops to the peninsula?
As for the question of the odds of victory, the key still depends on how the war is fought, and Lu Chang has a way to make the war develop in a direction favorable to Jiangnan.
Zhang Yu just walked out, but the official came back from outside.
The little girl's expression was very exaggerated as soon as she entered the door, maybe she was really excited, she couldn't even take care of the general etiquette, and threw herself directly into Lu Chang's arms, shouting: "Hey, brother general, I can bring you back, I want to kill the slave family." ”
"I really want to, is it because General Ben has been out for a long time, and he hasn't fished for anything to eat, is he hungry?"
"I'm hungry, but the general's brother is going to do business, and the officials still know what is most important."
"Since I'm hungry, I'm not waiting at home but I'm going out, and I'm obviously not very hungry. I don't want to eat it today, right? ”
"People are also going to do business, the general's brother is not at home, and there is no way to be hungry, no one feeds him."
"Hey, you go to do business, what are you doing seriously?"
"Well, the slave family heard from the master that the master of the concubine planned to let her be a concubine for the general's brother. And guess what?
The girl of the concubine heard that the slave family was already your woman, and she disobeyed the master's order and did not agree to be the general's concubine.
I knew that the girl was high-spirited and unwilling to eat Miss Ben's two-headed soup, and sure enough. Hmph, don't eat the soft one, then don't blame Miss Ben, come to a bully and force her to be soft. ”
"What kind of two-headed soup? Girl, you're bold, aren't you? I dare to say that the rain and dew of this great general are two-headed soup, looking for a fight! ”
After that, Lu Chang picked up the little girl and pressed it on her lap, "let's chirp" is a slap.
"Hey, hey, wronged, I'm just describing, it's not okay to say the wrong thing, my brother's subordinates are merciful!"
Lu Chang was just joking, just a little bit of it.
straightened the girl's body and continued to ask, "What do you mean by your overlord hard bow?" Do you want to tie up the concubine hard, I'm afraid it's not good, right? ”
The official Wen was in Lu Chang's arms, and said in a coquettish voice: "People think, the little girl has a stinky temper and is very stubborn, and she will definitely not listen to her master."
This kind of person's shortcomings are also here, arrogant, right? Then I'll hit her specifically and make her hold her breath.
It's not impossible to beat Miss Ben if you want to, big brother has a way. I think that the girl from the concubine will take this step sooner or later. ”
Lu Chang finally understood, it turned out that the official was playing this idea.
The little girl is really good, she plans for herself, well, very loyal.
However, the official and the concubine are fighting, Lu Chang is too lazy to care, let her go.
"Well, you have to pay attention to the scale, now that the feud between the two of you has been resolved, don't cause another incident.
Anyway, girl, you also have a heart, and you should be rewarded. Aren't you hungry? Feed you gluttonous girl now. ”
"Hee-hee, big brother, it's not dark yet......"
"You can't starve the little girl just because it's not dark yet, let's go, rambling."
With that, Lu Chang picked up the official's light body and walked into the inner room...... (To be continued.) )
