Chapter 493
On the second day after the honeymoon, Qin Feng and the old general got together, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

This time, the number of people is naturally not as good as before. Su Dingfang and Zhang Shigui are already on their own. They have performed well in guarding one side in the north. After the battle of annihilating the East Turks, they have officially entered Li Shimin's sight. In that way, they will be reused in their later years, and I believe they will go further.

"Boss, you don't want to be your official minister. Why did you go to the bitter cold place of Youzhou to be a general manager?" Fang Yiai said carelessly.

Luo Tong squinted at him, and said, "What's the matter? Can't bear to part with this fancy world in the capital?"

Fang Yiai said bluntly: "How can it be? It's nothing. My old house is a good person, and he has changed his ways. I won't go to places like brothels and Chuguan." Suddenly, he said with a hippie smile: "Hey, the boss is still amazing! I really envy the dead. The four wives are all magnificent beauties. Every day, five people and four walk together, fighting until dawn. When can there be such a time, even if you die I am willing to do it!"

"Last night, you were not..." said Du He, who was like a bird of a feather.

"Last night you were dreaming, nothing happened, we were just drinking." Fang Yiai's face was extremely serious.

Du He: "..."

"Okay, okay. The joke is enough. Don't you know what kind of bastards you two are?" Qin Feng interrupted the two live treasures and asked them to continue. He didn't know what to say, so he coughed lightly , said in a deep voice: "Brothers, a comfortable life in Chang'an is not the life I want to live. Believe me, this is not the life you want either. This colorful world will only corrupt people's will." Nodding, even Fang Yiai and Du He had expressions of approval.

"The Youzhou you see may be a place of bitter cold and sparsely populated land, but in my eyes, it is a place where meritorious deeds are made."

A place to make achievements?
"Gaoguryeo?" Luo Tong, Li Yexu, and Xue Rengui, who reacted quickly, called out with surprise on their faces.

Qin Feng nodded slowly, these are his iron buddies, and there is nothing to hide.

"Okay, that's right. I'm worried that I won't have a chance to take revenge." They said with gritted teeth.

When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times, the number of soldiers and the huge cost were extremely rare in the thousand-year history of China. Especially the first time he went out, the scale was so large that it could be said to be the best in China. More than ten thousand, the army stretches for four hundred kilometers.

We must know that the Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties with the most brilliant foreign war results, the Han attacked the Xiongnu, and the Tang destroyed Tuyuhun, East and West Turks, Gaochang, and Goguryeo.But the result can only be described as bleak. Goguryeo was defeated, and the vanguard's 30 troops only fled back more than 30 cavalry.

Moreover, because of the appearance of "Wuxiang Liaodong Wave Death Song", the people all over the world had a great resistance to the conquest of Goguryeo, but Yang Guang insisted on going his own way, and still used the power of the whole country to forcibly recruit the people for the second and third conquest of Goguryeo, so deserters everywhere , and the fugitives are even more numerous.

Goguryeo, on the other hand, hunted and killed the soldiers and civilians of the Sui Dynasty indiscriminately, and piled up their corpses to build a Beijing Temple to show off their force.

The so-called Jingguan is to show off martial arts.Gather the corpses of the enemies and seal them into a high mound.

When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he used a military force that far surpassed Goguryeo, and used stones to defeat the weak. Even with his inhumane command level, Goguryeo was defeated.Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, and Goguryeo piled up the bones of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to show off the fact that they defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the Sui Dynasty.

How terrifying is the Jingguan built by hundreds of thousands of skeletons.It is also a great shame on the Han people.

Even if this matter has been going on for many years, once it is brought up at this time, as long as it is a Han Chinese, anyone who has a little blood will grit his teeth with hatred.

Luo Tong said indignantly: "The disastrous defeat of the Sui Dynasty was all caused by that idiot Yang Guang's blind command. It's a bigger country. It really treats itself as a piece of material." Everyone didn't have much ill feeling towards Yang Guang, but Regarding his performance in the battle against Goguryeo. The word "idiot" is indeed well-deserved.It is because of his "excellent" performance that the situation where an egg hits a rock has become an egg that cracks a rock.

Qin Feng nodded calmly and said: "The situation in the past. Investigating the details will not help. Now Goguryeo has powerful ministers controlling military power, Baekje and Japanese slaves support outside, and there are internal traitors inside. There is no way out. The current ruler of Goguryeo is Rongliu King Gao Jianwu. This guy respects my Tang. Not long ago, His Majesty ordered him to send the bones of those soldiers back to my Tang. Let them be able to The soul returns to its hometown, so that it will not be exiled. However, there are endless civil strife in Goguryeo nowadays, Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu does not have the guts to offend Goguryeo soldiers. After all, Jingguan, which is a shame to us, is their glory in the eyes of Goguryeo soldiers. This is exactly what I want, this Beijing Temple is only interesting if we dismantle it ourselves!"

"Yes, we will demolish it ourselves. Then we will build dozens of Beijing Temples with an eye for an eye and an eye for an eye."

"These are all things to say. Everyone knows the current situation. When the Eastern Turks were conquered, the treasury was already empty. My Tang Dynasty is really powerless to fight right now. Your Majesty will not go to war."

This is the truth, and everyone nodded sadly.

From Li Shimin down, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have always thought that Liaodong, which belongs to the Tang Dynasty, is being occupied by Goguryeo, but Liaodong is bitter and cold, and it is not within the scope of Datang's development.Datang's current economy is already tight, so we don't want to fight worthless battles.

Spending human, financial and material resources to bring Liaodong back will not be of any benefit to Datang.

Good steel needs to be used on good blades. With Li Shimin's utilitarian heart, he would never do such a thankless thing at this time.When the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the national treasury is full, Liaodong will be taken back, and Goguryeo will be destroyed by the way, that is.

This was Li Shimin's previous thought, but after Qin Feng came up with a bad idea, he changed his mind again. Let Qin Feng give it a try, maybe he can easily regain Liaodong.

"Are these clowns just allowed to die of old age at ease?" Cheng Chumo said very displeased.

"Daydreaming!" Qin Feng smiled coldly and said, "If that's the case, why send us to Youzhou?"

"Boss, don't be foolish, just talk about it. What the hell are we going to do?" Yuchi Baoqing said excitedly.

"Okay!" Qin Feng didn't hide anything, he told his plan in full, and finally said: "We are going to develop the people's livelihood in Mingli, and prevent the civil strife in Goguryeo from spreading to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, what we do can only be done by a limited number of people." I know, even the brothers of the Huben Army can't say it, if it leaks out, the military law will deal with it."

"Here!" Everyone responded with a smile.

Qin Feng said to Ma Zhou and Du He: "When you arrive in Youzhou, you will be handed over to the two of you for government affairs, logistics, and people's livelihood. The people's livelihood there is poor, and everything has to start from scratch. How did they do it before? Let's not worry about it. Youzhou can't develop up to now, which proves that their method doesn't work. Since it doesn't work, there is no need for it to exist. You can do whatever you think is right. Your Majesty said that more than [-]% of the people in Youzhou All the officials are formerly employed, and some of them are still from Luo Yi’s time. These officials are mixed, and we have to clean them up. In the vast territory of Youzhou, there must be moths that we don’t know. We found one, Get rid of one for me, and if you find a litter, give me a pot, and I will take care of it if something goes wrong."

"Here!" Feeling deeply responsible, Ma Zhou and Du He solemnly agreed.

"Okay, there are King Bin and Du He in government affairs, I'm 120% assured. The next thing is military affairs, which is the top priority of our trip."

This attack on Goguryeo is not like attacking East Turks.

The East Turks are located on the Mongolian plateau and Mongolian prairie. Their living habits combine the advantages of nomadic and farming. The territory they occupy is very suitable for cavalry to charge at a gallop.Naturally, cavalry was the main force in attacking the Eastern Turks.Fighting the Eastern Turks relied on the maneuverability of the cavalry, and there were countless cavalry generals in the Tang Dynasty. The quality and combat effectiveness of the cavalry was no less than that of the grassland cavalry, so the recruitment was naturally much faster.

The three countries of Liaodong, whether it is Goguryeo, Silla, or Baekje, all rely on the sea. To attack coastal countries, naval forces are necessary.And there is no doubt about the weakness of Datang that the navy has always had.

When Li Tang established the country with cavalry and infantry, and when Li Shimin captured the second king and took most of the world into his arms, the Tang Dynasty did not have a decent navy.Until Li Jing helped Li Xiaogong stabilize the situation in Bashu, in view of the situation of the enemy and ourselves, he presented ten strategies to attack Xiao Xian.Li Yuan let Li Jing rule the army, and then Li Jing organized manpower and material resources to build boats and soldiers to practice water warfare.

The water army of the Tang Dynasty was formed, but after the suppression of Xiao Mian and the capture of Fugong Er, the water army was useless and gradually vacant, and it has been several years.

After Qin Feng briefly introduced the differences between Goguryeo and East Turks, he said to Liu Rengui and Li Yexu: "Zheng Ze, Ye Xu, I will assign you two important tasks. When you arrive in Youzhou, you will set up a navy for me. There are many high-quality harbors near the sea in Youzhou. The fishermen in Youzhou are tough by nature. They are a natural navy. If you want to recruit people and design and build the boats yourself, if you don’t know how to design the sea for me Ships, as for money and food, you can just ask me, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me to solve it. Zhengzheng will be the commander of the navy and the deputy commander of Yexu, and I hope you will build a Youzhou navy capable of conquering and fighting for Datang." Qin Feng said domineeringly.

Liu Rengui grew up in the turbulent period at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Because of the turmoil in the world, he could not read quietly. Whenever he was not working, he stretched out his fingers to write and draw in the air and on the ground to consolidate the knowledge he had learned. He finally became famous for his profound knowledge. , but he has not been reused. It was not until the Gaozong Dynasty that he really made a breakthrough, especially when he stayed in Pyongyang, he made every effort to open up the grain transportation route of Silla, and he also defeated the Japanese navy with Baijiangkou.

The first large-scale decisive battle in the history of China and Japan was when Liu Rengui defeated Little Japan with an absolute advantage.

Later, he governed Baekje with outstanding results. The last extremely human minister became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and was highly regarded by Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian...

For such a person with both civil and military skills, it is a waste of money to let him focus on government affairs.

"Returning to the general, the subordinates have never been in contact with each other. I'm afraid they have the wish to betray the general." Liu Rengui bowed.

"Who is born to lead the army to fight? In the past, when the two bastards Fang Yiai and Du He harmed the women in Chang'an, who would have thought that they would have the achievements they have today? No, we can learn. We are celebrating When you were in Zhouzhou and Shuofang, didn't you, the military officer of the Dudu Mansion, do a good job."

Ma Zhou also knows what kind of person his friend is, seeing Qin Feng let him take the lead, he was also happy for his friend, and said with a humorous smile: "Regular, you don't have to believe in your own talent, but you can't doubt the general's knowledge of people." Zhiming. Since it is the order of the general, you must be able to do this job well."

"Thank you, General! Rengui will never let down the great general's love!" Liu Rengui was in high spirits when he thought that he was valued so highly. Apart from being delighted, he also felt a great responsibility.
