"How are the hungry people who were sent to Beisha City doing now?" After chatting a few more words, Li Jing and Wang Chong stopped talking about the instructor, and Li Jing turned to ask about the hungry people sent to Liaodong.

In the two waves of refugees, Dengzhou successively sent no more than 200,000 people to Liaodong. A small half of them were arranged to mine minerals, and the other more than 100,000 were resettled in the two cities of Qingni and Beisha respectively to reclaim and hoard land.

More than 60,000 people were sent to Beisha City, and Wang Zhong organized these refugees to reclaim wasteland according to Li Jing's order, and provided rations, farm tools, cattle seeds, etc.

"The situation is not bad, there is food sent by Dengzhou, and I also learned from Dengzhou, organized a fishing team to catch fish day and night, and there is a canning workshop that produces canned food in large quantities every day, so the fish caught do not have to worry about spoilage. Nowadays, a lot of land has been cleared, and soybeans have been planted one after another. There has been a recent increase in the number of people from the north of the city who want to stay in the city. ”

Hearing that many people from Liaodong had migrated to Beisha City, Li Jing couldn't help but feel moved: "Where are these people?" ”

"These people are mainly in the northwest of Beisha City, and this time there are not only many people who want to move into our Beisha City, but also many who want to move into Qingni City. We made a preliminary estimate of the population of about several thousand households. ”

Li Jing was very happy to hear this, he was busy with disaster relief before, although he took over the post of protector of Anton, but he only sent a few messengers to send letters to the Tang people in Liaodong, so that they could return to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Specifically, no action has been carried out. Unexpectedly, thousands of families are now going to move into Qingni City and Beisha City, which are controlled by the Zhendong Army. You must know that Liaodong has not been affected, and these people are going to move into the territory of the Zhendong Army. I definitely think it's better here.

"Receive. We take as much as we come. Although Liaodong is bitterly cold. But the land is big. Not only can they farm, but they can also graze their cattle. Population is also a resource, and it is all collected. Li Jing did not hesitate.

After Wang Chong returned to Liaodong that day, he and Lin Wu of Qingni City began to receive the immigrants who came. After the first batch of more than 3,000 immigrants was accepted, it didn't take long for another batch to come. At first, Wang Chong and the others were very happy, thinking that it was the news that the imperial court was going to rebuild the Andong Protectorate after the news came out in Liaodong. The people who were brought in. But then, as more and more people moved south, things didn't quite right.

Wang Zhong sent people to inquire about the Liao people who moved south, and learned that they moved south because of the war between Jili Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture, and the two sides fought a big war, and the people were also poisoned by the war.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhong immediately sent scout cavalry to the north to investigate. After inquiry. Wang Zhong sent the news he got to Dengzhou.

Things are not complicated, in the north of Beisha and Qingni, the towns of Duri. After a few Han people's small potential, it is the Jili Prefecture that the Tang Dynasty once set up here, and further north, it is Jian'an Prefecture. Jiliju has always been controlled by the Goguryeo aristocracy, while Jian'an is controlled by a large Khitan clan. It is said that these two forces are not too strong, and there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but they are not alone. Behind Jili Prefecture are many Goguryeo tribes in Liaodong, although the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, but after the destruction of Goguryeo, although many people were moved, the Goguryeo nobles have been helping the Tang Dynasty to manage Liaodong. Later, the Tang Dynasty withdrew from Liaodong, and Goguryeo's power became even stronger. Moreover, the entire Goguryeo aristocracy is powerful, and they still have the support of the Balhae Kingdom behind them.

The Khitan tribe in Jian'an Prefecture is also not simple, and the Khitan has been fighting with the Lu Long Army in Hebei for Yingzhou in western Liaoxi for hundreds of years. But there were also some Khitan tribes that bypassed Liaoxi and directly entered Liaodong to expand. This tribe that entered Liaodong was a branch of the Khitan tribe. They were able to penetrate deep into Liaodong, and even reach the Liaozhong area, naturally because they had the support of most of the Khitans behind them.

It is said that the two sides have often fought each other in previous years, and it is difficult to have a time of peace. Once the two sides are at war, the most unlucky ones are the Liao people, whether they are Han Chinese, Khitans, Goguryeo and other ethnic groups, they will be involved on both sides. Sometimes, even after the Khitans finished robbing, the Goguryeo people came to rob again, and it was miserable.

However, this year's situation seems to be worse than in previous years, and there have been several battles between the two sides, and there is a tendency to fight more and more. According to reconnaissance, the Khitan Lian Thorn Division had received a large number of reinforcements from western Liaoxi, and the Goguryeo people in Jili Prefecture had also united with the assistance of Goguryeo forces such as Wugucheng, Daxingseong, and Bodiaocheng.

The more the families fight, the more unlucky the people will be. Many people fled south, all the way to the south of Liaonan.

"On the surface, it seems to be a struggle between the Khitans and the Goguryeos, but in fact, this is a struggle between the Khitans and the Bohai people for hegemony in the Northeast!" After reading the report, Li Zhen pondered for a long time and pointed it out sharply.

Li Jing is also in favor of this kind of spectator. The overlord of the northeast was Goguryeo, which was founded for more than 700 years. But it was later destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and Silla together. After that, although the Goguryeo aristocracy was still quite powerful, it never recovered. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Khitan Kingdom rose for a time, but the Khitan at that time was too rampant and took the initiative to challenge the Tang Dynasty. Although during the time of Wu Zetian, the Tang army was defeated by the Khitan several times, but the temporary victory in tactics could not change the strategic gap between them and the Tang Dynasty at all.

At this time, the Su Mo Yan tribe took the opportunity to rise, they were originally just a little brother under the Khitan, and they followed together to oppose the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Khitan was beaten by the Tang Dynasty, turned his head and acted as the sword and axe hand of the Tang Dynasty, and in turn chased and killed the Yan people. However, the Tatars defeated the Khitans. The Tang Dynasty, out of consideration for containing the Khitan, did not continue to send troops to this Yan people, but instead crowned Da Zuorong as the king of Zhen. Da Zuorong then established the Zhenguo and attached it to the Tang Dynasty, becoming a state of the Tang Dynasty. In 713, Tang Xuanzong canonized Da Zuorong as the king of Bohai County, ruled over Kuhan Prefecture, and granted the governor of Kuhan Prefecture.

Following the example of the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai State developed rapidly, rapidly transforming from a nomadic people into an agrarian state. Moreover, because the Bohai State has always maintained friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty, and deliberately did not take the opportunity to seize Liaodong when the Tang Dynasty gradually lost control of Liaodong later, but continued to develop eastward, vacating the territory of Liaodong and becoming a quarantine area with the Tang. Therefore, except for the time when the country was first founded, the Bohai State once crossed the sea to attack Dengzhou, the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai State have always been peaceful.

As a result, the Bohai Kingdom has become a prosperous country in the eastern part of the sea, the overlord of the eastern part of the sea, and the former master Khitan country also has to look at the face of the Bohai country.

However, more than 200 years have passed, and the prosperous state of Bohae in Haidong has been weakened like the Tang Dynasty, and even the Silla Peninsula of Samhan, which was once captured by the Tang Dynasty, is also the same as the sunset of the Western Mountains. At this time, the Khitan Kingdom was constantly recovering, and now, it is strong again.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Hebei has been divided, and the division of feudal towns has led to the loss of control of the Tang Dynasty's power over the Khitan. The Khitan not only fought with Lu Longjun for Yingzhou in western Liaoning, but also continued to expand to eastern Liaodong. However, the Bohai State is not in decay and decay, and in the face of the rise of the Khitan, the only thing they can do is to support the Goguryeo people to fight against the Khitans.

In the final analysis, the current war is the history of grievances between several ethnic groups in the Northeast. Goguryeo was the old ruler of the Northeast, and at that time, the Khitan and the Ya tribe were basically his subordinate younger brothers. Then Goguryeo was taken down by the two Central Plains dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Khitan rose for a while, and the most difficult thing was to be beaten down because of the confrontation with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. Because the Bohai State is smart and takes the initiative to maintain distance and friendship with the Tang Dynasty, it has been established for more than 200 years and has survived until now. Now that the Khitans are rising again, the Bohai people have to work with the Goguryeo to deal with the Khitans.

"This Liaodong is the territory of my Tang Dynasty, and now it is infuriating to let a few foreign clans compete for it in this land!" Li Jing slapped the map heavily and said in a rough tone.

Guo Chengan looked at Li Jing with some surprise, could it be that Li Jing wanted to send troops to Liaodong?

The brothers Li Zhen and Li Liang also glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in their eyes.

Li Jing saw everyone's expressions and knew what they were thinking. But insisted: "Liaodong now belongs to the territory of the Andong Protectorate, they are fighting for war on my territory, how can they put my Datang in their eyes, but do they put my Li Jing and the tens of thousands of brothers in the Zhendong Army in their eyes?" ”

"What do you mean? Are we going to meddle in this? Li Liang asked.

Lin Wu, who came to report, opened the notebook he had with him and flipped through it: "Our scouts have carefully investigated clearly. This time, the Khitan people in Jian'an Prefecture and the Goguryeo people in Jili Prefecture fought a lot of money, and there were 1,000 tents in Jian'an Prefecture, and according to the tradition of the Khitan people, one account was a family. Generally, there is one regular soldier in one account, and there is one more Yu Ding. Counting up, the company said that there were 1,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 soldiers, and now another reinforcement has come from Liaoxi, and it is reported that there are more than 3,000 people. The Khitan people generally send troops with one regular soldier, four auxiliary soldiers, and 3,000 people are 600 soldiers and 2,040 non-auxiliary soldiers, together, there are 1,600 soldiers and 3,400 auxiliary soldiers, this force is not small. ”

"What about the Goguryeo?" Li Jing gently pinched the short beard on his chin and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Wu replied: "The Goguryeo people are almost all soldiers, they are a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural tribe. The Goguryeo people in Jili Prefecture mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses, including 1,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry, 2,000 auxiliaries, and 1,000 hired soldiers and horses. In addition, the Goguryeo forces of Daxingcheng, Wugu City, and Bodiao City also sent troops and horses to help, ranging from 5,000 to 1,000, adding up to 2,000 cavalry. The strength of the Goguryeo people in Jili Prefecture is now 10,000, including 2,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry, 1,000 mercenaries, and 2,000 auxiliaries. ”

Five thousand Khitans, ten thousand Goguryeo, five thousand against ten thousand. The Khitans seem to be inferior in numbers, but the Khitans are better at riding and archery, but they are more courageous than the Goguryeo.

Li Jing smiled, his eyes flashed, and he said to everyone: "Do you think we want to watch the fire from the other side this time, or take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Li Zhen looked at Li Jing's smile and immediately came back to his senses: "Doesn't the general just want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Are you planning to rob while the fire is on? ”

"If you can, why not?" Li Jing said with a smile. (To be continued......)
