In the first month of the second year of Zhide, many important things happened on the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, and these small-scale battles west of the Aral Sea were just a small wave in the tide of history.

Compared to many other major events that are taking place, these short and violent battles are inconspicuous, and it is extremely difficult to predict what kind of impact they will have on future generations.

Nanji Yunlei Wanchun and the two of them took more than 300 Guanzhong men and plunged into the vast Gobi west of the Aral Sea, looking for the captured Han family sons on the small oasis, and at the same time, in distant Silla, a huge fleet was already anchored on the sea near the royal capital Jincheng, ready to set off at any time.

Silla Kyushu had been completely pacified, the basic ruling order had been established, and the self-proclaimed emperor of Gyad, Li Jing, had the ambition to assemble an extremely large fleet and prepare to cross the sea to the east this winter to take Fuso.

Inside and outside the port, ships of all sizes were extremely dense, and ordnance and food had already been transported. Inside and outside the cabin, warriors in bright armor were everywhere, and the harbor was covered like a dark cloud by dense ships.

A large number of troops were also assembled on the docks, but they did not go to the sea ships, because there was no place for them. The warriors of all ethnic groups gathered here because His Majesty was going to take a personal expedition, and they were here to see them off.

These warriors are also extremely numerous, and they look murderous, and it is obvious that during this period of time, Li Jing, the son of Guardian, has developed extremely well in Silla and Kyushu, at least the hearts of the people have been united.

The fleet gathered most of the sea ships on the east coast of Silla, and the number of troops reached 100,000. There were only 20,000 Han troops. The rest of the soldiers were a combined force of Goguryeo and Silla.

The army left behind in Silla. Not only on the docks, but also a huge number, most of the Goguryeo army that followed the Kadek emperor Li Jing to conquer Silla stayed in Silla, and 30,000 of the 50,000 Pinglu military horses remained near Jinseong, and the Silla army formed by the strong men from all over Silla also had tens of thousands, and all the Dingkou were added together. The number of troops left behind is also in the hundreds of thousands.

This is an extremely large force, counting the expedition to Japan, Li Jing's soldiers and horses have reached more than 200,000, which can definitely be called a strong army.

It must be known that the entire Tang Dynasty has only four or five hundred thousand soldiers.

Such strength should never be underestimated.

The drums were noisy, and the people on the shore cheered loudly, whether they were sincere or fake, they were extremely hard. In the center of the fleet, on top of the largest ship. Li Jing, the son of Guardian, stood on the bow of the ship with his sword, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

However, in the face of the ambitious Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. This unwillingness is also very hidden.

Throughout the winter, Chang'an did not launch an offensive against him. The more this happened, the more Li Jing felt the danger. So he couldn't wait for spring to come, so he had to hurriedly set off to conquer the Fusang people.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!" Hui Chao, who had an old face, was wearing a golden robe and said with a smile.

Li Jing nodded heavily, let out a long breath, and waved his big hand heavily.

At the sound of a desolate trumpet, large ships loaded with heavily armed warriors left the harbor and headed for the cold and gloomy sea.

There are so many ships that it takes a long time to get out of port. Li Jing stared at the shore, his expression seemed extremely calm, but his heart was full of great waves.

After a long time, the ship began to move slowly, and finally left the port.

The ministers and the people on the shore cheered loudly, and the soldiers shouted in unison, and the voices slowly became farther and farther away, and after a long time, they were finally inaudible.

Looking at the coast farther and farther away, Li Jing looked solemn and silent.

This time I left, I am afraid that I will never be able to return to the mainland.

His soldiers are strong and strong, and he commands more than 2 million Dingkou, and he originally had the power to fight. However, he didn't dare to fight for the Central Plains, so he could only leave in disgrace and go to Fusang to open up a world.

In fact, he was very reluctant in his heart, and he was absolutely unwilling to choose to leave under such a good situation.

However, the reality is that he has no other choice.

More than 200,000 soldiers and horses, if they were placed in the past, they would have to fight hard no matter what.

Now, however, there is a Ma Lan.

The Anxi Iron Army is unparalleled in the world, the Anxi Army was originally the most powerful soldier in the Tang Dynasty, and the birth of Ma Lan made the Anxi Army even more terrifying!

The foundation of his self-reliance was to hope to gain Ma Lan's support, but the reality was so cruel that Ma Lan did not accept his conditions, but was named the governor of Moxi by Li Heng.

Without Ma Lan's support, his imperial dream is a castle in the sky, which seems brilliant now, but in fact it will come to naught at any time.

What if you take a large army to fight for Chang'an, even if you take Chang'an? As long as Ma Ling is on Li Heng's side, then he has no chance of winning.

And there is no doubt that Ma Ling is on Li Heng's side, not on his side, the descendant of Prince Zhang Huai.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Li Jing turned his head to see that Hui Chao was dressed in splendor, his face was full of joy, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Why is the national teacher so happy?" ”

Hui Chao said with a smile: "The monk is from Silla, His Majesty has left Silla, Silla does not have to suffer from military disasters anymore, and the monk is naturally happy." Being able to go to Fusang to teach the Japanese people, the monk is naturally happy. ”

Li Jing wanted to have a seizure, but finally endured it. Since it has been decided to conquer Fusang and regard Fusang as a foothold, it must be done as a thing, and the morale of the army cannot be shaken at this time, so I will not worry about this guy for the time being.

To be sure, this monk still has some talent, at least much better than his short-sighted staff. The pacification of Silla and Kyushu, the establishment of order, and the pacification of the people's hearts were all indispensable.

Although the land of Silla has been abandoned, these things must not be said to be meaningless. If these things were not handled well, the soldiers would inevitably be suspicious of the Eastern Crusade, and Hye-chao handled Silla in an orderly manner, and even gave people a feeling of prosperity, because of this, when he proposed to destroy Fusang in one go, he did not encounter much resistance.

If you can't do this, then the Eastern Crusade will be considered by the soldiers to be without confidence, and the generals will follow him to take risks, just to get rich, if the wealth is gone, they will immediately deviate from morality, and when the time comes, these guys will be able to kill him without waiting for Chang'an to attack.

And now, everyone thinks that they want to continue to expand the territory, and they are extremely supportive of this crusade. In this way, not only will the army not mutiny, but when it reaches the territory of the Japanese people, it will also have enough will to fight, which will help to attack Fuso.

Of course, the most important thing Huichao did was to piece together this huge fleet. For this fleet, Huichao also spent a lot of effort.

This monk did not want to coax him out of Jincheng, but really prepared for the Eastern Crusade. There were only so many large ships that could be found suitable for long voyages, and it was precisely because of the lack of ships that he could only take an army of 100,000 with him. Thinking about the army that stayed near Jincheng, his heart was actually extremely distressed. However, there is no way, there are so many ships, and this is also a helpless thing.

Hui Chao's selfishness also understood that this Silla monk did want to harm the Japanese people, and the reason for this was probably that when the monk was in Chang'an, he had some festivals with the Japanese monks, and he suffered a lot of losses. The Japanese and the Silla people are feuding, and the Japanese monks and Silla monks have never dealt with each other in Chang'an, and Li Jing knows this. Looking at Hui Chao's appearance at this time, you can know how eager he is for the desire to conquer the Japanese people.

The drums of the fleet sounded in unison, which seemed extremely lively, and the civil and military officials were elated, but Li Jing's heart was extremely complicated.

The coast is getting farther and farther away, and finally it is out of sight.

30,000 elite Pinglu soldiers and horses stayed in Jincheng in this way.

There is no way, in order to create an illusion, it can only be so. For him, the Han army in his hand was the most precious, but the 50,000 Han army only took 20,000 in the end.

can't let the true intention reveal a little clue, and can't take the slightest risk, so he can only reluctantly cut his love and give up most of the elite.

But...... These 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough to level Fusang!

"Monk, if you have any festivals with the Japanese monks, you might as well talk about it."

Seeing nothing anymore, Li Jing turned around, cheered up, looked at Hui Chao and smiled.

Hui Chao smiled and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, that was a long time ago. The one named Chao Heng...... Forget it, don't talk about it! This time I went to Fuso, and I hope that His Majesty will remember what he said to the monk. ”

Li Jing smiled and nodded, that Chao Heng is also a famous monk, and he also held an official position in Chang'an, and he is the most famous among the Japanese monks, but Hui Chao is the most famous among the Silla monks, and with the relationship between the Japanese and the Silla people, it is normal to have some discord.

But Hui Chao didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask anymore. He didn't really have much interest in knowing about such things.

Either don't do one thing, or do it the best, this is Li Jing's style. Now that the decision has been made to settle in Fuso, it is necessary to deal with this matter seriously, and the Japanese people are better than the Silla people, so they cannot underestimate the enemy.

At this time, crossing the sea and attacking, the Japanese people must have been unexpected, as long as the army arrived in Fusang safely, then he still has confidence in conquering the Japanese people.

……

Shortly after Li Jing, the son of Guardian, led a mighty fleet out of port, several monks quietly left the city with Huichao's secret letter in the largest monastery in Jincheng.

Far from the area monitored by the Pyeonglu army, the monks mounted the good horses of Silla and galloped along the post road to the south in the cold wind.

A few days later, the envoy arrived at Incheon, got on the big ship that had been prepared long ago, and rode the wind and waves to Datang Dengju. (To be continued......)
