Chapter 462: February

Ten days later, a sea ship carrying the Silla monks arrived in Dengju.

In order to sweep away Li Jing's rebellion, the main force of the Tang Dynasty Navy Division has been prepared here, and it will launch an attack in the spring, heading straight to Silla. After seeing the secret letter sent by the Silla monks, and interrogating several Silla monks, the sailor general immediately sent someone to send the secret letter to Chang'an with an expedited 800 li, and at the same time, he also made a decision immediately, and the whole army set off from Dengju and went directly to the direction of Silla.

Ten days later, when the Tang Dynasty sailors set foot on the land of Silla, the decree issued by Chang'an was already on the way to Hebei. The huge military operation called counterinsurgency, which is actually peach picking, has already been launched in advance.

After the Tang naval division arrived at Incheon, it stood still, and at the same time, Guo Ziyi and Li Siye, who received the order, drove to Pinglu and successfully took Xincheng. After that, the two divided their troops, Li Siye went to Li Jing's royal capital Longquan Mansion to receive the Bohai Hometown and the Heishui Governor's Mansion, while Li Siye first captured Nanhai Mansion and then led the army straight to Silla.

As soon as Li Siye crossed the Taedong River, Zhen Huairang, the minister of Silla canonized by Li Jing, greeted him and presented the household register and a map of Silla Kyushu to express his submission to Li Siye.

Zhen Huairang is also a person involved in the secret, these things were planned by him and Huichao, and of course, they were also approved by Li Jing.

Because of Zhen Huai's leading party, the soldiers were bloodless along the way, and when Li Siye appeared outside Jincheng with a large army, Li Jing's army left here reacted.

However, the resistance did not happen, because the 30,000 Pinglu Army, which was the backbone of the army, directly chose to surrender and surrendered neatly.

It's not that these Han sons have no backbone, and the edict ordering them to surrender was written by Li Jing himself. After Li Jing chose to conquer Fusang, he was unwilling to stay in the land of Liangjing and fight with Chang'an. Therefore, there was such a will in advance.

This was beyond Li Siye's expectations, he came with a huge army, but without a decent battle, the enemy surrendered!

This is like a punch full of strength but hitting the air, which makes Li Siye extremely uncomfortable.

However, these are all Han family sons, and they were coerced by Li Jing to participate in the rebellion. You must not do with them.

As soon as the 30,000 Pinglu army surrendered, the 100,000 Goguryeo army and the Silla army lost their backbone, so they naturally surrendered. In this way, without encountering the slightest resistance, Li Siye's army took the whole of Silla.

In the direction of the Bohai Sea, Guo Ziyi only encountered some resistance in Longquan Mansion, but it was also a drum.

The march in both directions was extremely smooth, and the land obtained by Li Jing's expedition to Liaodong in recent years was basically collected by the Tang Dynasty.

These lands will be the same as the south and north of the desert, and will become the direct territory of the Tang Dynasty. The establishment of county and county officials is inevitable.

Balhae and Silla have all completely perished. Hui Chao returned to Silla and avoided another war of the Silla people, but he could not save the fate of the Silla Kingdom. In fact, Hui Chao didn't have such extravagant hopes at all, he was a monk with a very serious sinicization, and he was not resistant to the merger of Silla into the Tang Dynasty. In fact, in his opinion, Silla was different from the Khitan, Baitou Xi and other barbarians. It is a state of etiquette, which should be integrated into the culture of the Central Plains, and becoming the territory of the Tang Dynasty is the ultimate destination.

He returned from Chang'an and saved the lives of thousands of Silla people. He was already satisfied with that.

Just when Li Siye took over all parts of Silla and Kyushu, Li Jing, the son of Guardian, became high-spirited again.

An army of 100,000 landed in Fuso. Like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, the army attacked in all directions, and soon occupied a large territory, and under the sudden and fierce blows, the Japanese people could not organize an effective resistance.

This is the case. Just like when he first arrived in Liaodong a few years ago, everything went extremely smoothly. One after another, the Japanese nobles took the initiative to surrender, making the sweep of the army easier. It is very likely that Fuso will be leveled within a year.

Fusang is far away from the mainland, so the Tang people know very little about this side, and this time he is not forced to be helpless, and he will not choose to take this step. But at the moment, it seems that choosing Fuso as a place to settle down is a very good choice.

As for avenging the widow's murder, this can only be thought about. Chang'an City ...... I will probably never see it again in this life.

At this time, it was already February of the second year of Datang Zhide.

Inside and outside the city, it was also busy at this time, and the war machine of the army on the western side of the moraine was already in full swing, preparing for this year's campaign.

The elite drawn from the Han army in the four towns has been assembled in batches, all of which have been driven to the Khotan Town, the seat of the Bisha Governor's Mansion, and after the assembly is completed, they will cross the ice Osaka to Baishitan, and all kinds of materials continue to be shipped, and the big merchants take the long road of Shule Xiaobolu, and the small merchants directly cross the Khotan South Mountain, and continuously send the materials to the camp of Baishitan.

This time in the southern expedition to Tianzhu, there are a lot of forces involved, and now the troops gathered in Khotan Town are not only the elite of the Han army drawn out, but also the soldiers of the various prefectures. Now the soldiers gathered near Khotanese Town have reached nearly 30,000 people, all of whom are elite.

In fact, the matter of the southern expedition to Tianzhu, Ma Lan was not prepared to let the Anxi Hu people participate, but the relationship between the king of Khotan and the capital has always been very good, and he was extremely obedient to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, the other Anxihu tribes were eager to try, and Ma Ling simply treated them equally, and issued an order to the 34 prefectures of the prefecture in the name of the governor of the western part of the country, allowing each prefecture to send troops to help in the war, and each of them could send a maximum of 1,000 troops.

Lancheng, Jingjue, Pishan and other prefectures were close to Khotan, and the soldiers and horses were the first to arrive, all of which reached the upper limit of 1,000 people, and the same was true of the soldiers and horses of the various prefectures that came over one after another. Some of the roads are far away yet, but they are already on the way.

The benefits of following the Anxi army on the expedition are naturally obvious. Now that there is an opportunity to dispatch, these Governors are extremely enthusiastic.

At this time, Ma Lu had already left the surrendered city and returned to Anxi.

This year, the main thing in the Governor's Mansion in the west of the city was not to conquer Tianzhu in the south, so the materials transported were not only to Baishitan, but also to the river from the southern foot of the Green Mountain.

The most important thing in this is the various things in the Ma family's workshop. Qiuzi will still be the seat of the Governor's Palace, so the Ma family workshop here will not be moved, but the Ma family workshop in the river will split from the Ma family workshop here, so a lot of things will have to be transported from here.

The three armies of Beiting have returned to the station, Du Huaiguang and Li Qiyun are in charge of this army, and Ma Lu is also extremely relieved. Before they returned to the three prefectures of Moxi, they repeatedly swept on the Mobei steppe and killed more than 100,000 Turks, and now there are not many Turks in the Mobei steppe. The land of Mobei has been officially taken over by Zhang Xun, and the original prefecture government is implementing the county system, and a large number of official positions have been vacant, and many literati have finally waited for the opportunity.

The number of Anxi new army has reached 15,000 when it is regrouped, and the number of those who are counting the expedition to Da Shi has now reached 20,000. All the new army athletes will follow Ma Lu across the green mountain and devote themselves to the war to wipe out the Great Food.

Ma Lan would not invest a little new army in the army of Tianzhu in the southern expedition, because in his eyes, the importance of these two things cannot be compared. However, the strength of the army of Tianzhu in the south is strong enough, and victory is inevitable.

The affairs of the southern expedition will all be entrusted to Du Huan and Cen Shen, Du Huan is young and will personally lead the troops to the expedition, Cen Shen is stable, and will stay in the surrendered city to deploy materials and coordinate the two armies.

Wang Rare and Li Sheng, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and Li Sheng, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, have been appointed to take up their new positions, and Wang Rare was ordered to fully cooperate with Ma Luan's southern expedition to Tianzhu, this young man was extremely eager for this matter, and had already taken most of the elite of the Longyou Army to Qiangtang, and now he has arrived in Luo. Coupled with the Longyou Army that stayed in Luoqi City when Gongren entered the court, ninety percent of the soldiers and horses of the Longyou Army are now stationed in Luoqi City.

Nanzheng had to wait until spring, and wait until there were as many Qiang people as possible who starved to death, and the Tang Dynasty was not ready to provide food for all the Qiang people, which Ma Lu and Zhang Xun had already communicated, and Wang rarely received a death order, so he also did not move after leading his troops into some cities, and sent people to get in touch with the surrendered city, but he did nothing for the time being. However, with this army on top of Qiangtang, Datang's occupation of this land is naturally more stable.

Buddhism has already expressed his attitude, extremely supportive of this war to eliminate demons, and expressed great anger at what "Hinduism" is. This support is not lip service, but real money. Through the way of the Anxi secret agent who sent the letter, the Buddha Sect has already taken out more than five million yuan of wealth, all of which are wealth certificates issued by the Hezhong Group, and this is only a part of the early stage.

In Ma Luan's view, this is a war that must be won, and the Buddha sect does not support it, and it cannot change the outcome of the war. However, this wealth could greatly reduce the financial burden of the Governor's Palace, after all, no matter how much it could get after the end of the war, the Governor's Office would have to pay for it in advance.

As with everything he did when he came into this world, everything went very smoothly. The second year of Zhide is destined to be an extremely busy year, and it will also be an extremely important year for the Tang Empire.

I got a piece of good news recently from a distant new city. According to recent information, the combined forces of Guo Ziyi and Li Siye have recaptured Xincheng and are dividing their forces to occupy Li Jing's territory. And Li Jing, the son of Jiade, who was crowned by the monkey, had already led an army of 100,000 to expedition to Fusang more than a month ago.

Li Jing took the Silla monk Huichao as his national teacher, and the expedition was Huichao's proposal, which was all news on the surface, and the Anxi agents also sent it. At this time, Ma Lan probably understood what Hui Chao had done after returning to Silla. (To be continued......)
