In the imperial study room of Chang'an Palace, Li Shimin had just received a flying pigeon letter from the governor of Langya County.
Two days ago, the Langya County Sheriff received a message from Liu Rengui.
The first time he received the news, the Langya County Sheriff sneered. He didn't believe what Liu Rengui told him at all, and felt that Liu Rengui was joking with him.
You must know that although the Japanese and Goguryeo invaded the border occasionally, they only robbed the people on the seaside and ran away. If they were to lead the invasion, in the eyes of Langya County Governor, the Japanese and Goguryeo did not have that at all. courage.
He is so confident because this is Langya County, not a place with weak defense like Yuhang County.
There are nearly five thousand standing soldiers in Langya County. If the servants of the major noble clans are organized, the number will be more than ten thousand. The total adds up to more than fifteen thousand men and horses. With so many men and horses in Langya County, Dongying How dare people and Gaoguli people invade Langya County.
However, before the county governor could be happy for a long time, a fast horse rushed into the county governor's mansion, and the news it brought shocked the county governor.
An unidentified ship docked at Langya Mountain, and many soldiers disembarked. They killed people when they saw them, and robbed things. Unlike before, they just robbed and ran away. Instead, they occupied the nearest town in Langya Mountain and refused to leave. , looking at the situation, it seems that there are still many people, and these people are just the first group of people at the moment.
After hearing this news, combined with the news Liu Rengui had people pass on, the county guard still didn't understand that what Liu Rengui told him was true, so he immediately deployed his troops to march towards Langya Mountain in an attempt to expel this group of people.
However, the governor of Langya County forgot one thing, that is, Liu Rengui told him that the number of Dongying people and Gaoguli people was feared to be as many as 40,000, and he sent 5,000 people to expel the Gaoguli people who landed ashore. It is no different from the Japanese talking about nonsense.
By the time his army arrived near Langya Mountain, the number of Gaoguli people and Dongying people who had landed ashore had reached 20,000. After a battle, the defenders of Langya County suffered heavy losses.
You must know that the troops sent by Gaogouli and the Japanese this time are all elites. Although there are only 40,000 people, they can reach 100,000 against ordinary soldiers and horses. Five thousand? It's not enough for people to fill their teeth.
When the Langya County Governor got the news, he almost fell off his chair. While sending someone to send a message to Chang'an, he also sent a message to all the noble clans in Langya County, informing them of the news and asking them to immediately organize manpower to jointly defend against foreign enemies.
If the enemy is allowed to attack Langya County, then all these nobles will also suffer. After all, this is their base camp, their lair. Looting tens of thousands of people is not as good as looting a noble family, let alone so many nobles. This But the place that the Japanese and Gaoguli people value most is also the reason why they chose to land here.
Looking at the news coming from Feige in front of him, Li Shimin's face was as gloomy as water. Two days have passed. I don't know what is going on in Langya County now. You know, a lot of things can happen in two days.
And he has just received the news. Even if he wants to do anything, he can't do anything now. He can only hope that the fleet led by Liu Rengui can play a role in intercepting some Japanese and Gaoguli people, otherwise Langya County may really fall into the enemy's hands. in hand.
Not only Langya County, but just now, he also received news from the Tubo border. The Tubo people have come down from the mountains. Although they are stationed at Yangguan on the border with the Tang Dynasty, who knows whether the Tubo people will Lead troops to invade.
But now the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are all in the north, fighting the Turks. If the Tibetans really invade at this time, as long as they capture Yangguan and then go all the way east through the Qilian Mountains, they will arrive unimpeded. Luoyang City.
Luoyang City had no soldiers and horses to defend at all, and it was tantamount to giving it up to the Turks.
Chang'an also only had the weak Prince's Six Guards, Jinwu Guards, and city defense troops, with a total of about 80,000 troops. However, these 80,000 troops were not enough to face the Tibetan elite. They could only defend the city.
Of course, Chang'an does not only have this small number of people, Li Shimin still has a trump card in his hand, but he can't use that trump card casually.
It can be seen how critical the current situation is. It is no wonder that Liu Rengui was so anxious after hearing the news.
This is because the Koguryo people just landed from the sea and cooperated with the Japanese. If the Koguryo people invaded from the land, Li Shimin would have no way to resist it.
In the East China Sea, Liu Renyuan knew something was wrong after receiving the signal from Liu Rengui sending ships to hit the iron bumps, and immediately responded to Liu Rengui's ships.
After Liu Rengui's ship came closer and reported the news about Liu Rengui and his current whereabouts to Liu Renyuan, Liu Renyuan's expression also changed slightly.
After serving as an official for many years, he is sharper than Liu Rengui and is more aware of the risks involved. If the situation is not handled well, the Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed, but its vitality will be severely damaged. At the moment, the northern masters are fighting against the Turks. If they are affected by these, it will definitely be detrimental to the army's ability to deal with the Turks.
If the north was defeated, it would be a bolt from the blue for the Tang Dynasty. At that time, not only the Tubo people would be ready to attack, but the Kogouli people would also send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty from the land.
At that time, I was afraid that a second Weishui Alliance might happen!
Thinking of this, Liu Renyuan immediately followed the news from Liu Rengui and ordered the ships to move towards the outskirts of Langya Mountain. He did not go to the port, which was not very conducive to the fleet's operations. He wanted to intercept the arrival of Gaoguli and the Japanese from the periphery. They captured the ships and kept them away from the enemy's gate, while Liu Rengui fought near the harbor. With the cooperation of the two, it was entirely possible to resist the fleets of the Koguryo people and the Japanese.
With the existence of Tie Liao, Liu Renyuan was confident to do this. Of course, he also sent a ship to cooperate with Liu Rengui's ship to search for Sun Renshi and Du Shuang. If their fleet could be found, then It's even more foolproof.
Langya Mountain, a ship belonging to Gaoguli, Japanese ships docked here, groups of naval soldiers walked off the ships, this is already their second group of people, the first group of people occupied the nearby town, and the arrival of their second group of people means that they can launch an attack on Langya County.
In this battle, they did not intend to occupy the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but came to Langya County to plunder and then left. In the past, they only harassed and plundered along the coastal areas and did not gain much, but this time they chose this place. It is also because this place is extremely rich. If they can plunder Langya County, it will be enough for their country to pay taxes for more than ten years. With this money, they can make their country even stronger, even in ten or eight years. It is really possible for them to get involved in the Tang Dynasty and occupy the Tang Dynasty!
