Under the Secretary of the Central Committee.

The three auxiliary ministers Li Chao, Liu Hongji, and Du Yan presided over the meeting, and the left and right servants of the three provinces, the ministers of the ministers and other important officials participated in the meeting.

"Murong Fuyun from Tuyuhun did not send anyone to Tokyo to pay tribute this year. Your Majesty is very angry." Liu Hongji spoke first. "This Murong Fuyun, seeing that the Battle of the East has been fought for three years and has not yet achieved anything, he thought that the court had fallen into that quagmire like the previous dynasty, and actually had an idea."

Li Chao said distractedly, "Although the territory of Tuyuhun is not small, it has only a large population. After the imperial court seized the Western Regions, he now has been crossed by the Tang Dynasty on all sides. The south side is Subi's vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. We are strangled by our necks. Murong Fuyun dares to have some thoughts, and he really doesn't know how to live or die."

Yin Kaishan, the Minister of War, asked, "What should we do with Tuyuhun now?"

Tuyuhun made an extremely unwise decision. At this time, they dared to doubt the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty must have a reaction, otherwise, the Tang Dynasty, the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom, will now rule over the vassals.

"Your Highness, you can send an envoy to summon Murong Fuyun to Tokyo to apologize. If he refuses to come, then the court will be famous and can send troops to conquer."

"Do you want to use force?"

Chengqian asked, he was a little hesitant. The court fought in Linyi in the south for three years and the battle was not over. The battle in Goguryeo in the east for three years had not over. Are you going to send troops to Tuyuhun again?

"It must be fought, otherwise Tuyuhun might rob Hexi, Longyou, or send troops to Supi." Li Chao said with his fist clenched.

Tuyuhun was originally a rebellious person. They occupied the Qinghai area, which was a threat to the Tang Dynasty. They could threaten the Longyou and Hexi areas of the Tang Dynasty at any time, and even the Western Regions newly occupied by the Tang Dynasty today.

On the other hand, Tuyuhun is immortal, so there is only a thin Hexi corridor leading to the Western Regions. For the Tang Dynasty, which now has five paths in the Western Regions, it is like a knife that has been stolen from the throat.

Moreover, since Qingluan and Prince Sun Bo and the Supi people split from Tubo again, Supi and Tubo fought for several years. Tubo, which originally wanted to unify the Tibetan area, is now getting weaker and weaker.

On the contrary, Subi, under the leadership of Qingluan, was also born in the Eastern Nv Kingdom. Now Subi and the Eastern Nv Kingdom have merged, called Subi Kingdom. Subi Kingdom has now incorporated Bailan, Bailang, the Eight Kingdoms of Dongshan into Subi Kingdom. Subi Kingdom is now very powerful and has a large territory.

According to later generations, there are southern Qinghai, western Sichuan and eastern Tibetan areas.

The rise of Subi was actually not something the Tang Dynasty wanted to see. The Tang Dynasty was more willing to see a scattered Qinghai-Tibet region. Now the Tang Dynasty urgently needed to step up its connection with Subi and further strengthen its contact and control of Subi. Tuyuhun was separated in the middle, which was really an obstacle.

"If Your Highness allows you, I am willing to lead the troops to fight in Tuyuhun himself." Li Chao took the initiative to ask for the battle.

Chengqian hesitated.

"If the Taishi goes to the expedition, the horse will definitely succeed, but the Taishi is the chief assistant, and I will be unable to live with the Taishi for a moment." Cheng Qian shook his head.

Finally, we discussed the candidates for command.

"Liu Xiang, it's better for you to lead the troops, how about?" Cheng Qian pointed out Liu Hongji's name.

"Me?" Liu Hongji was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a smile. He stayed in Beijing for several years and had nothing to do. Now he has the opportunity to lead troops to fight, so he is still very happy. Sending troops to fight is the time to seize military achievements.

"Appoint the regent minister and deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor Liu Hongji as the chief general of the Qinghai Road, the chief general of the Ministry of War, the chief general of the Jishi Road, the chief general of the marching of Yin Kaishan, the chief general of the Ministry of Justice, the chief general of the Ministry of Justice, Li Daozong, the chief general of the marching of the Ministry of Justice, Li Daoliang, the chief general of the Chishui Road, Li Daoyan, the chief general of the Lizhou Governor, Gao Zengsheng, and Qibi He Li led their troops to attack Tuyuhun."

"I ordered the Anxi Grand Capital to protect Niu Jinda, and Queen Subi Qingluan sent troops to help."

In February, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Li Daozong, Li Daoyan, Li Daoyan, Gao Zengsheng, and Qibi Heli led seven generals to the Tuyuhun.

The Tang army divided into two groups, Liu Hongji, Li Daliang, Qibi Heli and others led their troops northward to the right of Tuyuhun.

Yin Kaishan, Li Daozong, Li Daoyan, Gao Zengsheng and others led their troops south to the left of Tuyuhun.

February.

The coast of Dengzhou has not yet thawed, and the army conquering Liao has entered a rest period as usual.

Emperor Li Shimin also returned to the eastern capital Dengzhou from southern Liaoning.

When the prince received the report from the prince, the Tang army attacking Tuyuhun had already assembled and set off for war.

"Send 70,000 troops to conquer Tuyuhun."

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin threw it aside, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

However, the prince once again took action and reported such a big event.

Just like before, he sent Li Ke and his three brothers to the Western Regions without reporting to him first.

This prince is becoming more and more distorted.

He used 70,000 troops. If he didn't report such a major event, he would just take action and then report it.

When he saw this memorial, Li Shimin even planned to return to Hanjing immediately.

But after getting angry, Li Shimin gradually calmed down.

The third year of the Liao Dynasty was at its most critical moment. The intelligence from the court showed that the Goguryeo people could no longer defend, and their food and supplies were about to be exhausted. Now there were Goguryeo guards secretly contacting the Tang army, hoping to surrender.

At present, many Goguryeo guards from the mountain city are preparing to surrender, but Li Shimin has not agreed yet. He has to wait for them again. When they are completely desperate, then even if the Tang Dynasty asks them to turn around and attack Yizhi Wende and they will be willing.

Bear with it any more.

Li Shimin clenched his fists and returned to Hanjing when he destroyed Goguryeo.

The sound of footsteps came.

When Li Shimin heard this voice, he knew that the person who came was Fang Xuanling, the Minister of the Secretariat.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing, Li Ji and Qin Qiong from Liaodong all sent information. The Goguryeo people were completely poor and had no way out. Some Goguryeo people had abandoned the mountain castle and threw their weapons and ran to our city to surrender. These people were hungry and just for a bite."

Li Shimin's depression just now was wiped out.

"Hahaha!" He laughed loudly and felt much more relaxed. "These Goguryeo barbarian dogs are today!"

"Yes, three years have passed, and it's finally time to harvest. Your Majesty, spring has come. Although Liaodong has not yet thawed, I think it is acceptable to accept the surrender of those Goguryeo people."

Li Shimin stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, but we must be more vigilant. Now it is cold in Liaodong, and it is not conducive to the war there, and the various departments cannot communicate with each other. We must be wary of the Goguryeo people using tricks such as fraudulent surrender. If they want to surrender, they can surrender. They must monitor them closely and place them separately. They can supply their food every day, so that they can't starve to death. Don't let them eat enough. When the weather is warm, they will immediately take them to the rear."

"Let our miniature works secretly contact Yang Wanchun of Anshi City and strive to convince him to surrender. As long as he is willing to surrender, we can successfully capture Anshi, and Jian'an City will be isolated and helpless. At that time, the Yizhi Wende and Gao Zang of Jian'an will be defeated in one place."

Anshi City is also an important town on the defense line of the Thousand Mile Great Wall in Liaodong. The terrain here is dangerous. Unlike Liaodong City, which is a plain city, Anshi is a mountain city.

The city lord Yang Wanchun, who is stationed in this city, is also a powerful general in Goguryeo, and is extremely brave.

It took the Tang army two years to clear the periphery of An City. Every winter, when it was extremely cold, Yang Wanchun would brave the cold to seize the lost periphery fortress. Although there were great casualties, they were still fierce.

Not far from An City, it is Jian'an City. After losing Liaodong City, the Yizhi Wende, the king Gaozang, and the Goguryeo temporary court were in Jian'an.

Jian'an and Anshi rely on each other.

An City was in Haicheng, Liaoning in later generations, while Jian'an City was in Yingkou, Liaoning in later generations.

Now Li Ji is surrounded by building An, while Li Jing is surrounded by An City.

"If Yang Wanchun is willing to surrender, I will grant him a marquis and protect his family." Li Shimin said.

As long as Anshi City surrenders, Jian'an will become a surrendered city and will be cut off to contact other mountain cities. At that time, Li Ji and Li Jing's army will join forces at Jian'an city, how can Yizhi Wende resist stubbornly?

Li Shimin is in a good mood.

"The Battle of Liao is finally coming to an end, and I can also return to Hanjing. To be honest, I haven't returned to Hanjing for three years and let Chengqian go around there. I don't know how much I have been worried about it."

"Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince has done a good job in charge of the country. In the past three years, he has not made any mistakes and is doing things in a proper manner. In the third year of Dengzhou's conquest of Liao, the Crown Prince was responsible for transporting food, grass, and weapons without any mistakes. It is extremely rare."

Li Shimin nodded, "Actually, I know that these are mostly Li Chao's contributions, but it's good for the prince to use Li Chao well. But he is still too young and sometimes he is too tedious to do things. For example, this time, when the big thing in Tuyuhun was so big, he took action first and then reported. Just like the previous use of Linyi, I had not made a decision, so he dispatched troops to the south to fight."

"The result of the southern expedition to Linyi was quite good. Didn't the prince report the news before the new year? The king of Linyi was captured by our Tang army in the mountains. Now the Linyi Kingdom has been completely destroyed. This is the merit of destroying the country, but the crown prince's highness."

Li Shimin snorted, "The country of Linyi was destroyed by Zhang Zhongjian, Cui Yan, Wu Heita and Li Junxian." Originally, Li Shimin decided to fight Linyi in the south at first, but later the battle of Liao started. Li Shimin was worried that the battle between the two ends would be too expensive, so he planned to suspend the southern expedition.

As a result, the prince ignored it and ordered the southern expedition. Fortunately, the southern expedition did not affect the eastern expedition. Now Linyi has been wiped out by the court, and the Tang Dynasty has regained a piece of old Qin and Han dynasties.

"Sir Fang, you said that I have spent so much effort and took more than three years to destroy Goguryeo and conquer Liaodong, but now I have to grant the princes. I feel a little reluctant."

Fang Xuanling felt a little sad when he heard this.

Is the emperor ready to break his promise?

I didn't take the Liaodong of Goguryeo seriously and sold it for tens of millions of yuan. I was so happy to count the money. Now I finally defeated Liaodong. This Liaodong has become Liaodong of the Tang Dynasty. Is the emperor reluctant to let it go?

"Your Majesty, this..."

I am in poor health recently and am taking the medicine. After taking this medicine, I feel drowsy and have no energy all day long. I can't keep up with the update, I'm very sorry!
