After listening to Li Zhi's words, Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said with a smile: "San Lang, the duty of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is first and foremost to pacify, and when it is extraordinary, why not do extraordinary things?"
Moreover, as Liu Ren is willing to say, Ami can be temporarily appointed as the acting governor, and when the Baekje matter is decided, it can be canceled, so why worry about it?
Ducha Temple is a vicious dog, wouldn't it be appropriate to put this vicious dog in the enemy country now?
”Wu Meiniang's words made Li Zhi fall into deep thought.After a long time, he clapped his hands: "Mei Niang reminds me that the temporary appointment, the temporary position of the governor, no grade and no rank, and doing bad things is indeed a good medicine for the current Baekje."
In this way, I can pull Su Dingfang out and invest in a battle that is more important to Datang. ”"Saburo can think so, and I'm happy for Ami, he has the ability, but he lacks a space to display his ambitions.""
I'll give him the opportunity, and it's up to him how far he can go."
Li Zhi said meaningfully.It is precisely because of this dialogue between Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang that the position of acting governor of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion will fall on Su Dawei's head.This was a desperate move.Wang Wendu's violent death not only triggered a new round of changes in the pattern of the peninsula, but also greatly exceeded Li Zhi's expectations, completely overturning his original plan.There are many famous generals in Datang, but each one has its own location and place.It's not like you want to pull it out, you can pull it out right away.In the west, the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Persian Great Food is maintained, the Hexi Corridor, and the grassland departments, which need to be consolidated, including the Anxi Protectorate, a series of measures and personnel, almost exhausted half of the strength of the Tang Dynasty.At this time, in the east, the power that can be mobilized is limited."
Your Majesty has appointed me as the governor of Pyongyang Province, and this time I am leading an army not for Baekje, but for Goguryeo."
Liu Boying's gaze swept from Su Dawei to Liu Renyuan.The air in the entire public hall was silent.This news is not an accident for Su Dawei.But at this time, when it was said through Liu Boying's mouth, it had a different meaning.Liu Renyuan reacted very quickly and bowed his hand to Liu Boying: "Your Majesty means to use troops against Goguryeo?"
”Liu Boying did not answer directly, but looked at the left and right and said something else: "On November 1 of last year, 58 people, including Fuyu Yici and Fuyu Long and Fuyu Tai, were captured by the chief administrator Su Dingfang in the eastern capital Luoyang Zetianmen.The Grand Governor destroyed the three kingdoms before and after, and captured their kings alive.In order to celebrate the defeat of Baekje, the imperial court gave the world three days of drunkenness, and awarded Su Qingjie as the emperor of Shang Ran. ”This news has not yet reached Baekje, so that Su Qingjie, who is in the army, does not know about it, because he has followed the chicken dog to heaven because of his Aya to destroy Baekje."
Su Dingfang's military exploits are like this, who in the army is not envious, and now from the British Gong Li Tao down, everyone is on the table, offering a message to His Majesty, willing to be a pioneer in using troops against Goguryeo, with the unrivaled merits of the whole Taizong."
This is, of course, a superficial rationale.On a deeper level, warriors need military merit, and military aristocrats must find new goals to conquer one after another.Otherwise, what's the use of raising soldiers?
Aren't these military nobles marginalized?
At least at this stage, Datang's national policy is still actively expanding outward.It was also blamed that Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje too quickly, which made Li Zhi think in his heart that he had indeed found the right way to destroy Goguryeo.During the Taizong period, although Zhang Liang was also used as the governor of the navy, he went in to conquer Goguryeo by land and water.However, at that time, the strength of the Datang Navy Division was still too weak, and it did not really form the ability to project a large number of troops across the sea.But by the time of Li Zhi's time, the Tang Dynasty sailors had become a master.The destruction of Baekje is proof of this.In addition, if you take possession of Baekje, you will be able to flank Goguryeo from both the front and back.This is just like the Han and the Huns fighting for the Hexi Corridor."
Zhangye", the arm of the Zhang Empire, cut off the enemy's arm, so that the empire has the ability to reach out and deal a blow from the enemy's weakness.That's what the conquest of Baekje means.Encouraged by the annexation of Baekje, Li Zhi couldn't wait to destroy Goguryeo and worship the temple to comfort Emperor Taizong."
In short, the conquest of Goguryeo has been put on the agenda.The specific strategy will have to wait for further edicts from His Majesty, and we will only have to act according to orders. ”Liu Boying stroked his gray beard, and his eyes fell on Su Dawei's body again.However, Su Dawei was thinking about another thing at this time - in history, on December 16 of the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Zhi appointed Qibi He Li as the general manager of the march of the Hunjiang Province, Su Dingfang as the general manager of the march of Liaodong Province, Liu Boying as the chief of the march of Pyongyang Province, and Cheng Mingzhen as the chief of the Fangdao Road, and led his troops to attack Goguryeo.On the 22nd day of the first month of the first year of Longshuo, Xiao Siye was the head of the march of the Fuyu Road, and led Hui Su and other troops to march into Pyongyang.On 2 May, the Tang Army's operational arrangements underwent major changes, and the imperial court changed the order of Zuo Xiaowei's general Qibi He Li as the chief of Liaodong Province, Su Dingfang as the chief of Pyongyang Province, and Sanpin Ren Yaxiang as the general of Hunjiang Province under the Tongzhong Shu Sect, and led the army and Zhuhu soldiers to "advance by land and water" in order to defeat Goguryeo.Pyongyang is the capital of Goguryeo.Datang's arrangement is not at all an order of magnitude different from the forces used in the expedition to Baekje.From beginning to end, in Li Zhi's eyes, only Goguryeo could be called the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.Baekje, however, was nothing more than a disobedient subject state that did not obey the orders of the Heavenly Khan, so he was punished slightly.Now, after punishing Baekje, Datang is finally going to take action against Goguryeo.Li Zhi was very anxious and wanted to finish his work in one battle.In this war, he gathered almost all the capable generals and famous generals that Datang can use now, and the chief manager alone appointed five.During the expedition to Baekje, only Su Dingfang was appointed as the chief of Shenqiu Dao.The contrast is very obvious.It is precisely because Li Zhi's strategic focus has shifted to Goguryeo that Baekje's position on the military map of the Tang Dynasty has to be a bit of a chicken.It is necessary to take advantage of Baekje's geographical advantages to provide auxiliary power for the conquest of Goguryeo.I don't want to and can't, so I put too much energy into Baekje proper.Therefore, Li Zhi's configuration of Baekje has his considerations and arrangements.At this time, the conquest of Goguryeo was the first priority, and it was impossible to serve as another general and invest a large amount of military power in Baekje.Liu Boying, a military horse of 10,000 people, was not only the first batch of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty to Baekje in the first year of Longshuo, but also the last batch.He has the intelligence system of the Inspector Temple in his own hands, and he can control the battlefield like Baekje in wartime, which is enough to stabilize the situation.Li Zhi's only worry is that after excessive decentralization, he is afraid that his ambition will be like a wild horse out of the border.After all, once the monitoring system loosens its control, it is taboo for everyone who is superior.Strange, according to Li Zhi's calculating temperament, why would he order himself to be the acting governor?
At this time, Su Dawei still had doubts in his heart.But I saw Liu Boying saying to him: "Governor Sudai, I have a letter from Your Majesty here." ”As he spoke, the veteran, who was over half a hundred years old, took out a secret box sealed by a wooden box and stamped with a vermilion mud seal from his body, and handed it to Su Dawei."
Your Majesty said, this letter is only for you to read, and the governor of Su Du can check the seal letter."
When he said this, Liu Boying's face showed a hint of envy.Once a son of heaven and a courtier.A veteran like him, Li Zhi will use him, but he will never be like Su Dawei, a confidant.Not to mention Liu Boying, even Liu Renyuan on the side is equally envious.His situation is similar to Liu Boying's.Seeing that Su Dawei had checked the seal letter, he crushed the mud seal and took out the secret letter inside.The two veterans consciously retreated.Let Su Dawei read the letter from His Majesty the Emperor to him alone.Su Dawei read the letter written to him by Li Zhi himself at a glance, and the expression on his face became very exciting.Although Liu Boying and Liu Renyuan stood farther away, they had been secretly observing the expression on Su Dawei's face.If Li Zhi used reluctant and intimate language, then Su Dawei's expression must be very excited and encouraging.If Li Zhi used a stern, commanding tone, Su Dawei's expression must have been awe-inspiring and cautious.But now, Su Dawei's expression does not belong to any of the above.It is an expression that seems to be distressed, relieved, and relieved.This made Liu Renyuan and Liu Boying, two veterans, unable to reverse through his expression, what kind of information did Li Zhi convey to Su Dawei in this secret letter.Although I can't guess, the relationship between the three has changed before entering the public office.Previously, Su Dawei was only the commander of the Zhichong Mansion under Liu Renyuan.But now, he has received an edict from Li Zhi and temporarily assumed the position of governor of Xiongjin.In this way, the identities of the three people are already at the same level.In general, in the military system of the Tang Army, the status of the Governor's Mansion was weaker than that of the Governor's Mansion, and it was subject to the control of the Governor's Mansion.For example, after the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it built the Andong Protectorate in the land of Liaodong and was responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Liaodong.The governor of Xiongjin in Baekje was subject to his moderation.The functions of the Governor's Office are: to control Zhufan, to comfort, to levy, to recount, to punish the wrong, and to judge the affairs of the government.It belongs to the administrative body of Datang in Baekje.If it is in the mainland, it will also appoint a thorn history.The Governor's Office was the ruling body of the Tang Dynasty to maintain the balance of local power.You can always judge government affairs, you can recount merits and punishments, and you can levy them.This power is very great.In addition, the chief of operations appointed by the Tang Dynasty is mainly responsible for military conquest, and his military power is greater than that of the governor.The Governor was mainly in charge of warfare such as local law and order.The assassin history of the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the Taishou of other dynasties, the highest administrator of the state, and equivalent to the high-ranking city officials of later generations.Each of these three focuses on different aspects.Now in the Baekje Xiongjin Governor's Office, Su Dawei is the acting governor of the Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Office.Liu Boying was the governor of Pyongyang Province and was in charge of the strategy of Goguryeo.In the future, he will act with him, including Qi Bi He Li, the chief of the march of the Hunjiang Road, Su Dingfang, the chief of the march of Liaodong Road, Liu Boying, the chief of the Pyongyang Road march, Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the Fuyu Road march, and Xiao Siye, the head of the Fuyu Road march.As for Liu Renyuan, he is the deputy head of the march of Shengyi Road.In ancient times, it referred to the coastal area in eastern Shandong."
Shangshu Yaodian" records that Xihe Yuri Tanggu is in a place called Shengyi."
It is the order of Xihe, Qin Ruohaotian, the calendar of the sun, moon and stars, and the time of honoring people.Divide the life of Xizhong, the house of Shengyi, and the Yanggu".Kong Anguo Zhuyun: "The land of Dongyi is called Shengyi."
Fuyu during the Wei and Jin dynasties is classified as one of the "Dongyi Liebiography" in Chinese history books.Therefore, the commander of the march of the province refers to the military against Baekje and Goguryeo.()
