Zhao Youlin and Li Chengqian.
They are really old rivals.
Starting from the Northeast and later the Western Turks, the two fought for several years.
Moreover, both of them understand each other's temperament very well.
Seeing Li Chengqian's arrangement at this moment, Zhao Youlin knew that this was Li Chengqian's plan.
He just wanted to win over the people in Silla and prepare for the future occupation of Silla.
Think of this.
Zhao Youlin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He looked directly at Jia Yanzhang beside him and said, "Now that we have occupied Xue Yantuo's land, how do we treat the local people?"
Hearing this, Jia Yanzhang was stunned for a moment.
He obviously didn't expect Zhao Youlin to ask this question.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Yanzhang said: "Of course it is the same as before, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish, but there is no looting yet."
"No looting."
"And this problem must be corrected."
"Whether they are those who obey me or those who go against me, everyone must treat each other with courtesy."
"And after the war, compensation must be given to the people who suffered harm."
Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said, "At least you have to be decent."
"ah?"
Hearing these words, Jia Yanzhang was filled with confusion.
He said: "Your Majesty, why do you do this?"
"They are our enemies, and they might take action against us in the future."
Jiayan Zhangzhi said: "If we don't rob them, but compensate them, then the soldiers will probably complain."
"That's better than us occupying the land and they still refuse to obey us, right?"
Zhao Youlin narrowed his eyes and said, "You must remember that if you want to become an absolute king, the prerequisite is to have a broad enough mind."
"Think about how the Tang Dynasty treated the Northern Desert Turks, and how it treated the subjects who were later incorporated into the Tang Dynasty."
"Without exception, the Tang Dynasty treated them with great courtesy and even moved them to live in the Central Plains."
"This is nothing more than a way for the Tang Dynasty to win over people's hearts."
"As long as they live a good life with the Tang Dynasty, who would think of resisting?"
"Same reason."
"As long as we treat these people better than Xue Yantuo, how can these people resist us?"
"After all, the people on the grassland have always been a family. They were just divided due to the instigation of outsiders."
Zhao Youlin looked directly at Jia Yanzhang and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Youlin said it in such detail.
If Jia Yanzhang still doesn't understand, then he really has become a fool.
At this moment, Jia Yanzhang also understood Zhao Youlin's painstaking planning.
Therefore, he said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will always follow your instructions from now on."
"That's good."
"You must remember to appease the emotions of our own people."
"If they ask why we did this, just tell them clearly."
Zhao Youlin put his hands behind his back and said: "If you want to be the real king of the grassland, you must have the entire grassland in mind, instead of just thinking about the one or two copper coins."
After saying this.
Zhao Youlin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, you have helped me a lot this time."
He was still melancholy, how to solve the problems of these old people of Xue Yantuo.
But now that he saw Li Chengqian's operations, he immediately knew what to do.
It is nothing more than imitating the behavior of the Tang Dynasty, assimilating all these people and using them for their own purposes. -
Perhaps Li Chengqian never dreamed of it.
What he did in Silla actually helped Zhao Youlin.
But an opponent?
Naturally, it requires a strong opponent to be fun.
If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were allowed to fight soft persimmons like the Japanese army, their combat effectiveness would probably decline within a few years.
At this moment, Li Chengqian's side.
He is currently busy directing the three armies to fight.
To be honest, it is much more difficult for him to command the three armies of Datang, Baekje, and Silla at the same time than to command the three armies to attack the Northeastern Third Army on the Northeast battlefield.
After all, he had said that those three armies were all from the Tang Dynasty, he could trust them, and they were all very powerful.
But now Silla and Baekje are definitely not as good as the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian could only comfort himself.
Their numbers were large enough and they could not completely wipe out the Japanese army, but they could still resist them for a while.
As long as he leads a large force to the front line, this Japanese army will be a turtle in the urn.
Now, he just hopes that the two armies can compete with each other, or at least not be too embarrassed.
And he thought so.
The same is true for Baekje and Silla.
Jin Rongxin wanted to prove himself and slap Su Li in the face.
The same goes for Su Li. He wanted to prove in front of Li Chengqian that Baekje's military power was much more powerful than Silla.
There was absolutely no need for the Tang Dynasty to recruit Silla into the alliance after having an ally like Baekje.
Therefore, in the following battlefield operations, both teams worked hard to make the other party look good.
Even in terms of marching speed, the two armies had to compete.
Seeing such a scene, Li Chengqian was naturally happy.
And they were relieved, at least this time, they were finally reliable.
And long story short.
Gao Zhixing and Li Tingxue were marching very fast.
Not only did they catch up with the Japanese army's advance, they even exceeded Li Chengqian's expected goal.
Originally, Li Chengqian asked them to intercept the Japanese army at the junction of Baekje and Silla.
But now, they blocked the Japanese army forty miles before the junction.
Although they did not carry artillery.
But it carried a large amount of skyfire thunder.
If this thing is used properly, it will be almost as effective as an artillery piece.
Especially in the territory of Silla, which is full of mountains, rivers and ravines, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not need to form a formation to fight, let alone build any defensive fortifications.
They only needed to block the valleys on both sides of the path that the Japanese army must pass through, and it was enough to prevent the Japanese army from advancing even half a step.
Inside the Japanese military camp.
Soga Ishikawa received a report from someone below.
It is said that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have blocked their only way.
And after hearing the news, Soga Ishikawa's face didn't look good either.
After all, his plan was to cross Baekje territory, reach the border on the other side of Baekje, and then leave Baekje by ship and return to his homeland.
But now the only way is blocked by the other side. If you want to bypass this valley, you have to walk at least 180 miles more.
And reports had already come from behind, saying that the coalition forces of Baekje and Silla were already on their way.
But now, there is only one way before him.
That is to choose one side to break through before the opponent has completed the encirclement.
Therefore, Soga Ishikawa called the generals in the army to come to him.
He said bluntly: "There are only two roads before us now."
"The first is to break through Datang's defense line and follow the original plan."
"The second is to turn around and penetrate the defense line of the Baekje and Silla coalition forces to take a detour."
He looked around at everyone present and said, "What do you think we should do?"
What should be done?
Is it even necessary to think about it?
Anyone who is not a fool can think of it, and they definitely cannot break through Datang's defense line.
The other party is holding the Heavenly Fire Thunder, waiting for him to go up and kill him.
If this time passes, what difference does it make to die?
Therefore, they almost all chose without hesitation to break through from the rear and then take a detour.
