In the study, the fire is warm, and the study is warm. Park Yuanmu's cold attitude, but it makes people feel that in the study, it is cold and devouring bones.

However, King Zuo Xian's words unexpectedly aroused Park Yuanmu's interest.

Temperate Envoy? Park Wonmu ignores the Northeast knots to make the existence.

In addition, there are many governors in the northeast, unlike the Jiedu envoys who compete with the Tang Dynasty, however, the governors of all ethnic groups appointed by the Tang Dynasty have long been separated from the Tang Emperor.

According to Pu Yuanmu's understanding, the largest Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in the Northeast has completely separated from the Tang Dynasty and the Liaocheng Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and also refused to carry out the imperial order.

If you have the ability to unite these scattered forces in the Northeast and twist them into a rope, you will form a very powerful force.

For a while, the shackles in Park Yuanmu's heart were open, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly, that's right, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.

As a general of the Tang Empire, he should not be worried about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, if he wants to be strong, he must have a long-term vision.

Park Yuanmu pondered solemnly, gradually relaxed, and when he pondered for a while, he said bluntly: "King Xian, my Silla is located in the east, and I have no contact with the envoys of the northeast.

If King Xian wants to unite all parties to make envoys, protect the Governor's Mansion, and form a joint army against the Tang Empire, he is afraid that King Xian will work hard and go out in person. ”

Park Yuanmu hopes to carve up the Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't want to be the leader, after all, in this war, victory or defeat is unpredictable, who dares to guarantee victory is undoubted.

Unfortunately defeated, the Khitan, as the leader, suffered the revenge of the Tang army, he led the Silla army, the turtle shrinkage Silla, the Tang army, may not send an expedition to Silla.

When King Zuo Xian heard that Park Yuanmu promised to stay and fight, he chuckled, what the other party was thinking, wouldn't he know.

The two are united and use each other, why should he break it, he patted his chest and promised: "General Park put his heart in his stomach, and contact with all parties in the northeast, the capital protectorate, and the governor's mansion, all of which are contacted by this king, the general only needs to train the army with peace of mind, and when the time is ripe, we will wave our army to the south, conquer the city, and encroach on the Tang Dynasty." ”

"This is very good, the strength of the Tang army is terrible, and the victory lies in the large number of people, and when the coalition army makes a comeback, it must not be underestimated." Park Yuanmu bowed his head and kindly reminded.

King Zuo Xian chuckled, agreed with his head, and tied Park Yuanmu to his chariot, with the Silla army helping the Khitan to attack the Tang Dynasty, Park Yuanmu verbally asked, and he would agree to them all.

Hearing this, Park Yuanmu no longer questioned King Zuo Xian, and only said helplessly: "King Xian, the Silla army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and the general needs to return to Pingzhou quickly to comfort the wounded and boost the morale of the whole army. In addition, report to the Emperor the results of your and my deliberations, and strive for the Emperor's support. ”

"Yes, yes, it is important to comfort the wounded, and this king will not leave a general." King Zuo Xian replied, got up and personally sent Park Yuanmu away.

After Park Yuanmu left, King Zuo Xian returned to the front hall, and the ministers around him slowly walked out from behind the screen, staring at King Zuo Xian, and asked in confusion: "King Xian, the combat effectiveness of the Silla army is extremely poor, and compared with the Khitan cavalry, there is a difference between cloud and mud.

Guo felt that the alliance with Silla would affect the Khitan plot against the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, after the coalition forces occupied the northeastern region, they had to give Silla land, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Guo Huaiyuan, a literati of the Tang Dynasty, took refuge under the account of King Zuoxian, gave advice, and was reused by King Zuoxian.

Hearing this, King Zuo Xian sat on the soft couch of animal skin, and raised his hand to signal Guo Huaiyuan to continue.

Looking at it, Guo Huaiyuan gushed endlessly: "King Xian has taken Guo's suggestion to unite the envoys of the Northeast Jiedu, the Protectorate and the Governor's Mansion, so he should give up the Silla Army."

After all, the forces of all parties in the Northeast participate in the war, and the possibility of victory, if they are fortunate enough to win, the wolves are more and the meat is less, and the Khitan occupies the land in the Northeast, which will also cause conflicts of interest due to uneven interests. ”

"Mr. Guo, you have misunderstood this king, how can this king not know the combat effectiveness of the Silla army, and why did he not understand that Silla is unwilling to succumb to the peninsula. However, in addition to the cover of the Silla army, the king will never allow the Silla forces to threaten the Khitan, let alone give Silla any benefits.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the capital protectorate, and the power of the governor's mansion, if it can be used by me, it can open up territory for the Khitan, if it is not used by me, it can only be betrayed. Zuo Xianwang's face was calm, his tone was low, and his despicable personality was vividly embodied.

When Guo Huaiyuan heard the voice, he bowed his head silently, laughing without saying a word.

Youzhou City.

Li Xuanji and other generals held a simple celebration banquet to greet the right guard, the tiger army, and the right guard.

In two days, a total of 250,000 troops and horses of the three armies arrived in Youzhou.

They are stationed on all sides of Youzhou, like an iron bucket, to defend Youzhou City.

In winter, Youzhou is a little noisy, and the taste of conquest is getting stronger and stronger.

Yang Yue led the right military guard to Youzhou, leaving 40,000 elites to garrison the east gate, leading 10,000 cavalry, breaking into the city without scruples, and going straight to the mansion that was once in Youzhou.

After entering the city, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Xiao Yun, and the generals of the Flying Cavalry Army, who were the first to arrive in Youzhou in the early stage, welcomed the return of Yang Yue and the right military guard outside the mansion.

Li Xuanqi's three advisers successively reported to Yang Yue on the battle situation of Youzhou and the future deployment.

Yang Yue learned that Zuo Qianniuwei and the Flying Cavalry Army joined forces, took the advice of Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, and Xiao Yun, and had both offense and defense, and in the defense of Youzhou, he severely damaged the Khitan and Silla Qi attack army, and couldn't help but feel very relieved.

After a simple relief, Yang Yue's heart was like a mirror, and the two armies were able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army because of their reliance on Youzhou City and the Tang army's strong numerical advantage.

The battlefield fights alone, garrisoning the Youzhou army, except for the right military guard, it is difficult to have someone who is comparable to the Khitan cavalry's combat effectiveness.

However, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, and Xiao Yun guessed in advance that the coalition army would attack Youzhou on a snowy night and actively deployed, proving that the Tang army also had its own advantages against the Khitan Silla coalition army.

As for the weak combat effectiveness of the Tang army in the battle, these were expected by Yang Yue.

Most of the Flying Cavalry Army and the Tiger Ben Army are occupied by new soldiers, and there are only a few months from recruitment to battlefield conquest, and the training has not yet been completed, and the combat effectiveness is poor, which is understandable.

In the future, as long as he trains hard, participates in more battles, and constantly sums up experience, Yang Yue believes that after the baptism of blood and fire, the combat effectiveness of the Flying Cavalry Army and the Tiger Ben Army will gradually improve, and the weakness will turn into an advantage.

However, compared with the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, Yang Yue was worried that there would be problems with military rations.

He led his army back to Beijing and took a tough attitude, forcing the emperor to abolish the crown prince and behead the military secretary.

He vented his anger in his heart, and the emperor also promised that after he retired from the army, the court would actively allocate food to ensure that the army fought in the northeast and had sufficient food and wages.

Unfortunately, as of the arrival of his army in Youzhou, he still had not received any news about food and salary.

Although he led the army on the Northern Expedition, he spent a lot of money and purchased a lot of grain, which was all transported into Youzhou City, but Youzhou garrisoned nearly 400,000 soldiers, and the daily expenses were huge.

It is almost impossible to solve the problem of feeding the whole army with the grain he purchased.
