I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

The military report system was established by the Tang Dynasty long ago, which requires the commanding generals to pass on the progress of the march and the situation of the troops to the rear on time.

And once the military report is not received on time, at least the rear can immediately find out if there is any problem in the front, so they can start to beware.

From the time point of view, today is definitely not the time for the arrival of the military report. You must know that the latest military report just arrived two days ago.

Zhang Nuo opened the military newspaper and saw that there was indeed a problem, but this problem made people dumbfounded.

Qin Qiong's expedition this time was still in the previous siege mode. The cavalry led the artillery on horseback and pulled the artillery as one, and the infantry as one. When attacking the city, the artillery opened the way and the infantry followed.

But precisely because it was the same as Zhang Nuo's method before.Therefore, naturally he will not be defeated, but has a big problem like Zhang Nuo, he has no one to watch the prisoners!

That's right, just like the situation Zhang Nuo encountered before, because they had the purpose of capturing captives to fill the population, so naturally they had to preserve the population as much as possible.

But it’s okay to talk about one or two small cities, but after winning several cities in a row, Qin Qiong started to have a headache, damn, there is no one left.

It would be too wasteful to put all these elites there to guard the prisoners, but he only had so many people on hand, and he couldn't find other ways. In the end, he had no choice but to send a military report to ask Zhang Nuo for help. .

Zhang Nuo was scratching his head when he encountered this situation, he was short of manpower too!

Now it is no different than before. It was a war before, and all the hands except those guarding the prisoners were used for attacking.

But now it's different, they've all been defeated, so it's natural to divide troops to garrison, even if it's part of the troops, it's nothing to scatter them on the land of Goryeo.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo, who had been taken away by Qin Qiong in the first place, was actually stretched.

However, there is still a way to think about it. At present, Lao Li is already thinking about changing defenses.

Zhang Nuo's private army can fight and rob people without any problem, but it's not good to be an ordinary defender under Zhang Nuo's command all the time.

It's not that you can't be a defender, but that the current Tang Dynasty is a military system, and everyone goes home often, but now these private soldiers have been fighting for several months, and they have earned a lot of money. If he couldn't go home all the time, there might be troubles.

So at present Li Shimin is already planning to change defenses, at least let this group of people return to their hometowns, and then consider the follow-up issues of these people.

It is precisely because of this juncture that Zhang Nuo is really in a bit of a difficult situation at the moment.

Zhang Nuo handed over the military newspaper to Ma Zhou and motioned him to take a look.

After Ma Zhou took it, he glanced at it briefly, and his brows frowned immediately.

As Zhang Nuo's deputy, he also has a good understanding of the situation in Korea, not only political affairs, but also the marching and fighting.

It was also because of this that he knew in his heart that under the current situation, it would be nonsense to say that troops could not be dispatched at all.

But even if the number of troops stationed in some places is kept down as much as possible, and if troops are sent out as much as possible, it will be around 4 to [-] at best.

And it's not enough to put this kind of people in Baekje.

After all, there are more than 4 to nearly [-] people currently guarding the captives!

There must be no shortage of guards. If there is a shortage, accidents will really happen. If the army in front is fighting and the prisoners in the back make trouble, then there may be big problems. No one dares to take this risk.

Ma Zhou didn't speak for a long time, because the difficulty was there. There were only so many sergeants on hand, and the needs of both sides were there. This seemed to be an irreconcilable contradiction.

After hesitating for a long time, Ma Zhou asked cautiously,

"Your Highness, why don't you ask General Qin to suspend the attack first, and wait until His Majesty draws manpower over?"

Zhang Nuo shook his head,

"No, if you delay any longer, it will be winter, and it will not be suitable for combat at that time, and marching for supplies will become a problem!"

"But if this year is postponed until next year, and they are given a chance to breathe, then the casualties may be even greater. Don't think that with artillery, we will be invincible. In the final analysis, war is about national power!"

Ma Zhou nodded thoughtfully, but Zhang Nuo asked with a strange expression when he said this,

"Ma Zhou, do you think those Korean people are loyal to us?"

Ma Zhou is also a little clever ghost, even if Zhang Nuo just mentioned something casually, his eyes lit up immediately,

"Your Highness, do you want to keep the Koryo army as prisoners? This is a good idea. They may not be able to attack cities and loot land, but they are definitely good as guards. It just so happens that they speak the same language!"

Zhang Nuo also nodded. There are naturally benefits in it. It not only solves the current shortage of manpower, but also makes the current Korean people more integrated with Datang.

After all, as long as you participate in this operation, you will definitely earn a lot of money. Even if it is not as good as those private soldiers recruited by Zhang Nuo, it is definitely better than being a foolish miner or worker here. The family is definitely a windfall.

But the biggest question right now is whether these people will take this opportunity to rebel or cause some trouble.

You know, if this group of people really caused any trouble, it would be a big problem.

Therefore, even a person as big-hearted as Zhang Nuo had to think carefully at this time!

Chapter 516 The Panic of the Surrounding Small Countries

Zhang Nuo was also worried at this time, and began to press his temples with both hands, mother, headache!

It's not that he wants to shirk or complain, but that this kind of thing is really difficult to grasp to a certain degree, because people's hearts are involved.

The human heart has always been the most difficult thing to control.

Although at present, the low-level people in Goryeo, whether they are soldiers or soldiers, seem to accept their fate and support the rule of Datang.

But as I said before, the human heart is the most difficult thing to figure out.

Zhang Nuo couldn't guarantee that just some benefits and kindness during this period of time would make those people really become loyal people who would die for Datang.

Neither idea is realistic.

Therefore, once it is really necessary to mobilize the sergeants who surrendered from Goryeo to the battlefield, it is necessary to deploy corresponding sergeants from the Tang Dynasty to take command, and at the same time, a large number of sergeants from the Tang Dynasty must be assigned to take care of the duties.

That's not to say it's completely safe.

However, in the current situation, it is impossible not to do this. The shortage of people in Baekje and Silla is imminent, and there is no other way except to transfer people from Korea.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo said directly to Ma Zhou,

"Ma Zhou, if you transfer troops from Goryeo, how much do you think the Goryeo people and our Tang army would need?"

Ma Zhou is also very quick-witted. He knew what Zhang Nuo asked when he heard it. He thought for a while before seriously answering,

"Your Highness, the officials think that four to six is ​​better, and [-]% of the Koryo army and [-]% of the Tang army can basically guarantee the stability of the army."

"In terms of the number of people, it's best to mobilize 15 people directly, so that even if Silla Baekje wins all, you don't have to worry about manpower problems!"

"Also, it's best to choose someone who has a family and a house, so that they have something to worry about, and at the same time, their family members can also go to the factory to work. Anyway, His Highness is short of manpower everywhere, so we should be able to arrange it!"

"In this way, the family will be paid first, and then there will be family ties, and at the same time, accompanied by Tang Jun, the chances of rebellion should be greatly reduced!"

Having said that, Ma Zhou hesitated for a moment, and then continued,

"Well, it's better to give them a joint seat. As long as one person intends to rebel against the whole team and his family members, he will be rewarded if he reports it!"

"And this time we're going to transfer a lot of us out, so let's just immigrate from the pass. It's best to be retired government soldiers. After coming here, some of them can patrol the streets on weekdays, and others can stabilize the local situation!"

After Zhang Nuo listened to it, he was stupefied, what the hell, are these bastards all black when cut open?

This Nima originally asked him to help him think about the appropriate number of people to send and how to distribute them. As a result, it turned out that the group of Koreans had been calculated from head to toe.

If you think about it carefully, the pre-payment of the settlement fee is a temptation of interests, so that these people know that they can earn money by working with Datang. It is simply calculated clearly.

Not to mention transferring a large number of Goryeo's Zhuanglao away, and then transferring people from the pass, this is the traditional method of mixing sand.

However, although Zhang Nuo made complaints about his parents' history being black, it was actually just a complaint.

After all, everyone is like this, so what's wrong with your employees being a little dark-hearted when dealing with others?Anyway, they are working for themselves!

The matter of increasing troops from Baekje and Silla and immigrating from the Tang Dynasty was settled in this way. Ma Zhou drafted the relevant documents, reviewed them with Zhang Nuo, and prepared them for issuance. At the same time, he had to write a report for Guan Nei.

After all, immigrating from the customs is not a small matter.

While Zhang Nuo was pulling Ma Zhou to work hard, these small countries around Datang finally got to know the news of Goryeo's destruction one after another because of the distance.

However, when they heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief!

Just kidding, the Sui family had such a solid foundation ten years ago, and millions of troops conquered Korea, but they came back in disgrace.

Now this Datang is probably bloody, why did the 20 people wipe out Goryeo?

What scares them the most is that this time the Great Tang is not the same as the previous Great Sui. They just want to conquer it. This time, the country is completely destroyed. The name of Goryeo is no longer there. Now it is just called Liaodong Road And Pyongyang road only!

As soon as this news came out, almost all the small countries around Datang began to feel their scalps go numb.

As old neighbors of the Central Plains civilization, it's not that they haven't seen the Central Plains civilization at its peak.

But even at its peak, the civilization of the Central Plains was actually not a very aggressive civilization, as long as it honestly said that it was submissive and soft, there would be no problem.

The only ones who have been fighting back and forth with the civilization of the Central Plains are the nomadic peoples.

But in today's Tang Dynasty, whether the national power is at its peak or not, they don't know for the time being. Anyway, it should not have reached the scale of the Great Sui Dynasty.

After all, during the Great Sui Dynasty, the population alone was more than three times that at this time. In these years, the more people, the stronger the country.

But the Sui Dynasty like that failed to do anything to Goryeo, but the 20 people in the Tang Dynasty completely wiped out Goryeo. Who is not afraid of this.

It would be great if the Tang Dynasty still only paid tribute like the two Jins and the Sui Dynasty in the past, but this is obviously wrong in the Tang Dynasty today.

No one wants to be a subjugated slave, even for a small country.

Anyone who can be the lord of a country is basically not a fool. Even if he is a fool, there will be smart people around him.

Therefore, as soon as they got the news and confirmed it, these people started to contact each other.

It is absolutely impossible for a single country to fight against the Tang Dynasty. These small countries are all aware of this, because they all know that Goryeo is also a small country.

But in fact, not to mention Datang, the national power of Goryeo alone is much stronger than these countries.

Even Goryeo was wiped out by Datang so easily, will Datang turn around and wipe them out?

Therefore, instead of waiting here to die, it is better for everyone to unite to exert pressure or find a way, what's more, they can simply start first.

In the eyes of these small countries, if they really want to confront the Tang Dynasty, there are two forces that must not be let go, one is Tubo and the other is Turkic.

One of these two forces dominated the plateau by virtue of its geographical advantage, and the other relied on its powerful cavalry to stare at it. Without these two big bosses, these small countries would never dare to speak up.Therefore, the most important thing for them at present is to contact these two countries.

Chapter 517 Turkic and Tibetan practices

Small countries such as Gaochang Kingdom and Dali Kingdom almost unanimously began to be connected with Tubo and Turks, especially Turks.

You must know that in the ninth year of Wude last year, the Turks made a surprise attack from thousands of miles and directly hit the outside of Chang'an City, and they withdrew their troops only by relying on Li Shimin's mouth and compensation.

Although there is also the element of worrying about losing both sides with Datang, but no matter what, he is a strong opponent who can shake hands with Datang.

Not to mention Tubo, not only because of its location on the plateau, but also because Tubo itself is not weak in national strength.

Naturally, it is incomparable with Datang, but just like the Turks before, as long as the Tubo forces are mobilized, it will definitely be an existence that can make Datang's scalp tingle.

Under the pressure of Datang, these countries that want to protect themselves have finally come to this point.

At this time, Turkic, Jieli became famous because he defeated the Tang Dynasty last year. The grassland king who was originally elected was more and more deeply rooted at this time.

But after receiving the letters of credence from Gaochang and other countries in a row for the past two days, he, who used to hold banquets every day, stopped having fun, and called the counselors around him to discuss.

For the rich land and rich wealth in Datang Pass, as nomadic nomads, they have been jealous for a long time.

But after all, they are not the civilization of the Central Plains, and their ancestors have never known the concept of farming!

Therefore, it is a joke in itself for a nomad to rule a farming nation!

This point, the later Great Yuan Dynasty has actually proved that the entire Yuan Dynasty was a deformed society, ruled purely by high-pressure policies.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, the nomads came to this step after years of accumulation and learning from the civilization of the Central Plains.

As far as the current Turks are concerned, there is nothing to say about letting him grab one, but he really doesn’t know how to arrange so much land if he is allowed to rule the Central Plains. After all, he can’t graze there, and he doesn’t know how to arrange it for farming. .

However, even if he can't occupy Datang's land, the current Datang is a bit chilling for him.

That's right, even if he didn't come to Gaochang and Tubo's credentials, he already knew about the affairs of Goryeo. After all, he is actually the closest to Goryeo among so many forces.

Seeing that a country that was raided thousands of miles away last year could suddenly send 20 troops to destroy the country, it would be no wonder if Xieli wasn't worried at all.

But worry is nothing to worry about, even if he wants to send troops now, it is impossible.

Because the grasslands are different from those inside the pass. Inside the pass are government soldiers, and the kind of farm work that can be done without any mistakes. Even if you go out for a whole year, you will be subsidized, and the local government will help recruit people to plant the land.

But it was different on the grassland. Once troops were dispatched, the pillars of every household would not be able to graze, and they had to bring their own horses and sheep, because they were their mounts and food.

On the grassland, there is no such thing as family and country philosophy, but interests!

You can go out for an expedition, and you can bring your own food, but if you can’t benefit from delaying the grazing at home, hehe, then don’t open your mouth next time!

Even if you can't do it well, you don't want to be the king of the grassland, you will die wherever you love.

Therefore, even if Xieli wanted to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's troops to grab a wave after knowing the news about Goryeo earlier, who would have thought that the leaders of other tribes would not be happy.

The situation at that time was very simple. Several big leaders believed that since Datang and Goryeo started a war, it would not be over in a day or two. Then when they were free in winter, Datang’s side would be overwhelmed instead. Wouldn't it be just right to be stuck in Korea?
