Li Jing and Changsun Chong were analyzing the battle situation, pointing at the map, discussing from time to time, and the guards hurriedly ran over and said, "General, something is wrong." ”

The eldest grandson looked at Li Jing and asked, "What's the matter, it's worth your panic?" ”

The guards didn't have time to take a breath, and hurriedly replied: "The spies have come to report that the back of the Wa Kingdom that we have already occupied has been attacked by Silla and Baekje, and they have robbed a lot of territory. ”

Li Jing didn't know why, and asked rhetorically: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"The military situation is urgent, how dare the subordinates joke, the person who reported the news is outside." The guard wiped his sweat and cried and said.

"Then let people in." Changsun Chong said.

"General, what do you think we should do?" Changsun Chong asked, "These two small countries of Silla and Baekje are fighting all day long, how can they have time to bite the Wa Kingdom now?" ”

Li Jing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I think this is an agreement between the Wa Kingdom and Silla and Baekje, not only Silla and Baekje, but also Goguryeo. ”

The messenger came, took Jang Daliang's handwritten letter, read it, and said, "How many people are there in Silla and Baekje?" ”

"General Huidae, 50,000 in Baekje, 30,000 in Silla. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was weaker than that of the Wa Kingdom, but after we defeated the land of the Wa Kingdom, we only arranged a small number of soldiers to be stationed and attacked all the way, so we were exploited by Silla and Baekje. General Zhang has now stopped and is preparing to counterattack back. The messenger replied, "Actually, it was all said in the letter."

"Okay, you go down to rest first, General Ben will sum it up first, and then bring the letter back tomorrow morning." Li Jing replied, facing the guards on the side, "Get something delicious." Don't treat them badly. ”

"Yes, General." The guard replied.

When only Changsun Chong was left in the room, he asked, "General, do you think that General Zhang has stopped and prepared to counterattack, which is inappropriate." ”

Li Jing bowed his head and said: "In this case, you fight for me, and you tug back and forth, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also will cause huge casualties." I think there's an easier way. By setting up an ambush at sea, we can more easily destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Eldest Sun Chong's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you want to surround Wei to save Zhao?" ”

Li Jing bowed his head and said, "I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly." Although Silla and Baekje were our vassal states, they are now in league with the Wa kingdom, which is our enemy country. We just took their lair, and I don't believe they still have the heart to grab territory in the Japanese country. ”

The eldest grandson Chong listened. Clenched his fists and said, "Hmm." Then ambush them when they return to save the base camp, preferably to kill them in one fell swoop. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Well, let's take a good look at how many troops are needed today." ”

"By the way, General, I didn't hear about Goguryeo just now. I wonder what that insidious little country is up to? Changsun Chong said suspiciously, "By the way, General, Goguryeo has always wanted to expand abroad. Do you think you will take the opportunity to continue encroaching on the lands of Tohoku this time, or will you also be interested in Silla and the Wa Kingdom? ”

Li Jing looked down and said, "It's not a possibility, but a certainty, why don't we contact Your Majesty now and ask if you have received a tip about Goguryeo?" ”

Li Jing took out the communicator from his arms, and the eldest grandson Chong's eyes widened, no wonder Li Jing could make a quick decision, it turned out that Li Er gave him this good thing.

Although Li Jing didn't ask, he glanced at Changsun Chong with a deep meaning, and waited for His Majesty's reply.

At this time, Li Er was discussing the matter of Goguryeo with the ministers, and suddenly felt a vibration on his waist, and when he moved at this time, there must be something important happening, probably because he learned about the treachery of the three small miscellaneous countries of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo.

"Ministers, eat something first, I'm a little unwell, and after half an hour, I will continue to discuss." Li Er said in a deep voice, since he received the news last night, he didn't close his eyes, standing next to the map, eager to eat those three island countries.

Everyone saw Li Erhong's red eyes and knew that His Majesty had stayed up late again, so they persuaded His Majesty to have a good rest, but the military situation was urgent, and no one dared to go back, so they had to take advantage of His Majesty's time to go out, rest for a while, and organize some countermeasures in their minds, so that His Majesty could ask the right question.

Li Er arrived in the room, retired from the room, turned on the communicator, and said, "Li Aiqing, what's the matter now?" ”

"Silla and Baekje have already occupied some of our territory, and now the minister has decided to send troops to besiege Silla and Baekje to meet the crisis at this stage. ”

Li Er's eyes were round, Silla, Baekje, plus Goguryeo, the three effects, respectful on the surface, each with his own thoughts inside, and said in a deep voice: "You can treat it with the heart of destroying the country, Goguryeo is already ready to move, and has occupied some of our Tang territory." ”

"Your Majesty, is our local strength still enough?" Li Jing asked, the northwest and southwest have not been able to transfer troops, so the north has insufficient troops to deal with Goguryeo, and it is only enough to defend.

When Li Er heard this, he said, "I have been thinking about it since I received the news. It is true that there are no troops in other places, so I decided to carry out wartime mobilization and national conscription in the Datang Daily, Monthly, and Di Bao. ”

Li Jing nodded and said: "Recruits need to be trained, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, so we can supplement the recruits to the northwest and southwest, and then transfer fifty percent of the troops from the southwest and northwest to replenish the recruits, so that we have 150,000 troops in the north, plus 50,000 logistics treatment, 200,000 troops are enough." ”

Li Erzhen said: "What Aiqing said is that I and my ministers have also calculated this number. I thought that it would only take a year to deal with the Japanese Kingdom, but I never expected to be robbed by these three small countries. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, they started a war, which disrupted our opportunity to fight, but this is also an opportunity. Those small countries are not the same, and it is not a day or two, and sooner or later they use troops against them. Although it will be a bit of a rush at the beginning, as long as we turn the time of the early deployment, we can take it calmly later. For Goguryeo, we use defense first; For the two small countries of Silla and Baekje, they first besieged and then attacked, and when they transferred troops back to their homeland to rescue, they ambushed them at sea, and taking them was just around the corner; Then we will encircle Goguryeo, so that we can avoid the more complicated geographical situation of Goguryeo, choose the best time and fighters, and take it in one fell swoop. Li Jing was worried that Li Er would make the mistake of Emperor Yang of Sui, the emperor of the previous dynasty, and responded to the battle in a hurry, regardless of the specific situation, and finally caused irreparable mistakes.

Li Er smiled and said, "Aiqing rest assured, I will not be rash, and when Aiqing completely takes over the Wa Kingdom, I will definitely go to Goguryeo with Aiqing."

The Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty inherited each other, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty returned from the defeat of the three expeditions against Goguryeo, which was the most humiliating pain in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, and the people lost their sons, husbands, and fathers; The ruling class such as the big families of the family, many good people of the family died in Huangquan. For Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty is despised, but it is also a little jealous, and everyone does not understand why a small country can defeat the Sui Dynasty with a large number of troops that greatly surpass them.

Li Er, who has been brilliant all the way, is even more interested in being able to conquer Goguryeo, which is his lifelong goal and achieves hegemony through the ages.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will end the war of the Japanese Kingdom as soon as possible, and assist Your Majesty to exterminate Goguryeo as soon as possible." Li Jing saw that His Majesty was not carried away by anger, so he put his mind at ease and rushed to the battle, even if he won, he would suffer a lot of damage.

Li Jing reported some more information, then hung up the communicator and completed the report.

Li Er came back again, and when he saw that the ministers were there, he said his plan, and everyone reconsidered it to carry out a wartime general mobilization.

The next day, the Daetang Daily reported on the treacherous acts of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

"Datang Daily, Datang Daily, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo treacherously, besieged our Datang soldiers in the Wa Kingdom to be listed as an enemy of the Tang Dynasty?." The newsboys waved the newspaper in their hands and said loudly.

As long as anyone who hears it has three pennies in their pockets, they will buy newspapers. In less than an hour, the whole Chang'an City was boiling. More newspapers were shipped across the country to convey the voice of the imperial court.

The people scolded these three treacherous small countries one after another, and some even ran to the post house of the three countries in the Tang Dynasty and threw stones and vegetable leaves.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally ordered, personally ordered, and ordered Qianniuwei to expel the envoys of the three kingdoms, and the people on the street took rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, hunger and even stones, and threw them at these people.

The war in the country used soldiers, and these people didn't know the time, so it can be seen that they had sacrificed them, and they didn't care about their life and death. Now they are being expelled from Datang again, and the situation is very miserable, but they dare not speak out about the anger of the people of Datang.

The next day, the Tang Emperor published a wartime mobilization article in the Datang Daily, accusing the Japanese state of despicable, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje for the selfish behavior of forgetting their interests and righteousness, analyzing the strategy of the Tang Dynasty in using troops, naming the northwest and southwest of the brief troop deployment, and concluding that if you want to defeat these three countries, you must recruit 200,000 troops throughout the country. One person is a soldier for one year and is exempt from field tax for three years; If it is a heroic sacrifice, there will be a court to provide for his parents, wives and children; If it is a meritorious service, it will be added to the rank of knight

One policy after another, the Tang Emperor personally issued it. The people of Datang, as soon as they heard that Datang needed to recruit soldiers to defend against foreign enemies, many young people were already indignant and enlisted in the army.

Since the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has had a bumper harvest for ten consecutive years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the imperial court encourages more children to have more children, and the fourth child will be divided into double the fields. Such a policy has also stimulated the fertility hopes of the people, many children and many blessings, there are no four or five children in the family, they are embarrassed to say, five or six children are normal, seven or eight children, that is the object that everyone envies.

As a result, in the past ten years, the population of children has increased dramatically, so the young people who have grown up, thinking of having younger brothers and sisters at home, as elder brothers, to make meritorious contributions and defend the country, that is glorious, even if unfortunately dies, the family will be well taken care of, no worries.
