To use troops against Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, it was necessary to use the Chang'an Forbidden Army.

Today's Tang Dynasty, except for the two towns of Guiyi and Pinglu, there are basically no soldiers and horses in other feudal towns, although the name of the Jiedu envoy is there, but they are all meritorious people's false positions, and they do not go to the local office.

The history of the Guiyi Army is special and glorious, and Li Ye did not ban them for the time being, but with the continuous expansion of the military strength of the Anxi Protectorate, the Guiyi Army will definitely integrate into it and become the backbone of the force.

As for Pinglu and the Fanzhen Army, it is completely the result of Liu Beixing's pampering and arrogance, the main force in the army has long become the Chang'an Forbidden Army, and the current Pinglu Army's combat strength is really ordinary, and now that Liu Beixing has been taken, the Pinglu Army will soon be disbanded.

Now the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, mainly the Chang'an Forbidden Army, although there are only one million people, they are all elite in a hundred battles and have excellent armaments. A small number of them were stationed in Gyeonggi, most of them were stationed on the main roads of Xiongguan in the world, and the rest were located on the border. There is a rotation every three years.

To use troops to Goryeo, Li Ye believes that he only needs to transfer part of the military strength to control Youyun and Mobei.

It's not that Li Ye is careless, but the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from ten years ago, and it really doesn't take much effort to attack Goryeo.

Historically, the Sui and Tang dynasties attacked Goryeo, and the main reason why they were invincible was not how strong the Goryeo army was and how steep the mountains and rivers were, but that the main purpose of the war was not to destroy Goryeo at all, but to target the great families in the country and consume their strength.

The power of the Sui and Tang dynasties is so great that it is needless to say that Li Tang was born in a family, but when he conquered Goryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too anxious to do things and was not sympathetic to the people; in the early days of this dynasty, the Shandong Shi clan was still a behemoth, and Taizong's conquest of Goryeo was to let the Shandong Shi clan contribute money, food, and people.

If it weren't for internal strife, how could a small country like Goryeo be able to resist the invincible Sui and Tang Dynasty soldiers in the world?

"To conquer Silla, only 100,000 forbidden troops are needed in front, and then 50,000 sailors can attack on the flanks. Li Ye pondered to the map of Silla - Goryeo is now called Silla.

There are several large rivers on the peninsula that go deep into the hinterland and can be exploited naturally. In addition, landing from the coast, opening up a second battlefield on the flanks and rear, and using Datang's strong logistics and supply capabilities to make Silla vulnerable to the enemy on several sides is also a strategy for a quick victory.

After pacifying Huainan and Lingnan, Li Ye established two water divisions, namely the Jiangnan Water Division and the Lingnan Water Division. Among them, the Jiangnan Naval Division focused on inland river operations, and the Lingnan Naval Division focused on building a maritime fleet.

"In the attack on Silla, the sailors are only auxiliary, and what really needs to be strengthened is the infantry army. The terrain of Silla was rugged, and the infantry army was the absolute main force, but the cavalry could not be ignored. Chu Zheng has completed the improvement of the physique of 30,000 war horses, and the battle of Silla is just used to train troops and test their power on the battlefield. ”

Li Ye gradually had a plan in his heart.

He moved his gaze to the Wa State again, "In attacking the Wa State, the sailors are undoubtedly the main force, especially the Lingnan sailors. After the half-magic weapon ship is launched, if it is used, this time it will also be sent to the battlefield to test it in actual combat. It seems that Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi should be allowed to prepare as soon as possible and familiarize themselves with the new warships. ”

After having the initial idea, Li Ye began to conceive the specific deployment and deduce the general combat steps.

Two hours later, Li Ye recorded the main idea, sealed it into a document, and called the chief secretary to send her to send the great monk of the Tsing Yi Yamen to send it in the starry night

Back to Chang'an.

The direction of the campaign has been set, and Li Ye does not need to do the specific preparations and arrangements for the war, he has his own Privy Council and the Ministry of War to formulate a detailed plan, and he only needs to review it when the time comes.

In the final analysis, the Battle of the Western Regions a few years later was the national war that would determine the future of the Tang Dynasty, and the use of troops to Silla and the Wa Kingdom was just a small-scale operation, and the army that needed to be used could only be called a partial division in terms of quantity.

The way of war must be a quick victory, and the purpose of the war is to prepare for the battle of the Western Regions.

This level of war no longer requires Li Ye to personally bother to plan.

In the next two days, Li Ye came to Penglai Immortal Island with the order of the young master.

Penglai Daomen is still the Penglai Daomen, the houses and buildings are still there, the blue tile stone tablet still exists, but the door is full of birds, there are few disciples, and it seems lonely and empty.

Although there are still pilgrims who come to worship, under the supervision of the monks of the Yamen in Tsing Yi, their incense is destined to be just simple incense, which cannot be gathered into the power of worship through the Daomen formation and used by the immortals.

"Such a mountain gate can barely be regarded as a place of cultivation. If tourists are weaving and fireworks are like clouds, then what kind of pure place is it called? How can a Taoist cultivate his self-cultivation here, get rid of the worldly world where materialism is rampant, and seek a heart that does not stir up dust?"

Li Ye shook the folding fan and looked around, quite satisfied with the current Penglai Daomen.

In his usual cognition, the best state of existence of Taoist temples and temples is to become a place for a group of people to study the Tao Zhizhi.

Buddhism and Taoism have merits, there is no problem in using them for learning, and if you study deeply, Taoist temples and temples should not be much different from Confucian academies. Instead of engaging in some kind of ghostly talk, pretending to be a master of the world, and defrauding those ignorant people of their hard-earned money.

It is really strange that a group of grandiose liars have not been imprisoned by the imperial court.

Li Ye's Quanzhen Concept and Wukong Liberation Gate are the main body of Buddhism and Taoism, serving the imperial court, fighting for the country, and seeking happiness for the people, which is the most recognized existence by him. But the Taoist temples and temples in the world, as long as they can become a place of learning, not a den of thieves of liars, Li Ye can actually allow them to exist.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, we people in the Dao Gate should be quiet and inactive, and we should be dedicated to the Dao, but we really shouldn't have anything to do with the fireworks of the world!

Zhang Jiuling, a white-haired old man, bent over and followed behind Li Ye with a flattering and frightened look, like a traitor, how could he still look like a half-point leader, "We were all confused before, we entered the WTO too deeply, we forgot our duty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive ...... sins."

Li Ye glanced back at Zhang Jiuling, a little unable to accept that the other party had groveled to this point, and he had lost his demeanor at all. It seems that the demeanor of a superior person is also for people who are not as good as themselves, and in the face of the real superiors who are stronger than themselves, the posture of dignitaries and dignitaries and mud legs is actually no different.

Seeing that Li Ye looked back at himself and didn't speak, Zhang Jiuling was startled, and said secretly: "Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't even want to give us a place to live?" Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed down to the ground, "Please be gracious!"

Li Ye felt strange about his appearance, but Zhang Jiuling himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

He was a Taoist monk or a mortal monk

He can disrespect the mortal emperor, but the Immortal Emperor, the real master of heaven and earth, that is, the heaven above his head, how can he not be in awe from the bottom of his heart?

If Li Ye hated Penglai Daomen at the beginning, and the festival with him when he first arrived in Pinglu, don't say that he Zhang Jiuling will be destroyed, and Penglai Daomen will cease to exist!

Before Li Ye defeated the Five Great Daomen of the mortal world, although Zhang Jiuling was forced to bow his head and accept Li Ye's drive, he still had extravagant hopes in his heart, thinking that the Immortal Domain would be able to preside over the overall situation after all. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the Immortal Emperor not only did not bring light to him, but Li Ye became the master of the Immortal Domain!

This left Zhang Jiuling with nowhere to tell his grievances.

Now that Li Ye has returned to Pinglu, in Zhang Jiuling's view, this is "returning to his hometown" and settling accounts after coming to autumn. Aren't all successful kings and famous generals like to play this hand? Li Ye even came to Penglai Island in person, maybe he wanted to completely wipe out Penglai Island in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

The trembling Zhang Jiuling regretted not being at the beginning.

"Stand down. Don't worry, I don't mean to do anything with Penglai. Although you caused me a little trouble back then, it was only a small trouble after all, not to mention that it didn't make me angry and hateful, and you didn't let me bother much at that time. So, don't take yourself too seriously. ”

Li Ye waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Jiuling to disappear from front of him quickly, he was really too lazy to look at the other party's unbearable appearance and dirty eyes.

Hearing Li Ye say this, Zhang Jiuling was like being amnestied, he only felt that this was all because the young master had saved his affection in front of Li Ye, and after thanking him with gratitude, he didn't dare to say a word, turned around and disappeared without a trace.

After all, Zhang Jiuling's level is too low, and he doesn't realize that in the eyes of Li Ye today, he and Penglai Daomen are not even ants. The difference in level between the two is too huge, and with Li Ye's high state of mind, he already disdains to treat him at all, just like the sun will not have the heart to pay attention to a moth.

Burning moths is what oil lamps do.

The eldest young priest looked at each other, feeling helpless.

When they saw Zhang Jiuling at the mountain gate, they told each other that Li Ye would only accompany them home to have a look, and there was no malice at all. However, they couldn't understand Zhang Jiuling's mood of seeing everything as if a catastrophe was coming because he was weak and humble, and naturally they couldn't resolve Zhang Jiuling's worries.

When the eldest young master took Li Ye to visit the places where they had lived and cultivated, he was excited, like a child offering treasures to adults, and kept introducing this and that to Li Ye. Shao Siming had an innocent smile on his face, which made Li Ye look open-minded, like drinking sweet springs, and felt that this was the cleanest thing in the world.

It's a pity that when the eldest young master was practicing in Penglai Daomen, he had a special and unusual status, so no one bullied or offended them, including Zhang Yunhe, the chief disciple of Penglai. When I come back this time, I will lose the fun of revenge.

However, it is precisely because of the simple happiness of living here that Penglai Daomen is a happy land in the heart of the young master, and there is a lot of nostalgia.

Li Ye came back to Penglai Daomen, in addition to accompanying the eldest young master to relive the youthful time, he also had the plan to study the inheritance of the Daomen, explore the essence of the Daomen, delve into the source of the Daomen, examine the initial state of the world, master the laws of heaven and earth, and prepare for the reopening of the Kunlun Passage in the future.

As the former Immortal Emperor said, Li Ye's understanding of this world is still not deep enough, and now he needs to hurry up and do some homework.
