On the vast grassland, Chu Zheng put his hand on his forehead and looked at the sun above his head.

Although the light is still dazzling, it is no longer as hot as before. After all, it will be the beginning of autumn in a few days. However, the long and fast march will inevitably be soaked in sweat.

Looking back at the cavalry team behind him like Hong Rulong, the light in Chu Zheng's eyes was even more intense than the sun. These 30,000 cavalry were not ordinary cavalry, but were all composed of monks. The one with the lowest cultivation level was the first level of Qi training.

The war horse is also a ferocious beast war horse after being shaped by elixirs. Not to mention anything else, the body is bigger than before. The pair of dark big eyes are full of breathtaking fierce light. If ordinary people see it, they will probably not be able to help but hurt both of their trembling.

"In the past six months, you have worked hard to train this new rider. Now that the elite rider is refined, you are about to enter the battlefield. I don't think you feel at ease?"

Zhang Changan, who was riding his horse next to Chu Zheng, was still wearing a civil servant robe. He was in a state of great emotion when he saw Chu Zheng in the past two days, like a new soldier who had just started the battlefield. While he was funny, he also thought that this was not necessary at all.

Chu Zheng helped his trouser, coughed twice and restrained his expression, "It's not that I'm uneasy, I know the most about how powerful this novel combat power is. When I really go to the battlefield, if I don't move, I will be shocking. However, there has never been such a savage in the world...

"Thirty thousand cavalry are all monks. It feels like they are in a dream when they think about it! This is not a simple war, it marks that a war has entered a new stage. The future battles will appear in the world's vision with a new look! And we are the pioneers of the times!"

When Zhang Changan saw Chu Zheng talking more excitedly, his face began to turn red again, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

I feel helpless about my friend who usually looks dull and calm, but whenever I get excited, I feel ten times more impulsive than me.

This time, the 30,000 new cavalry battles, and the main general is naturally not Chu Zheng, he only commands three thousand tribes. But it is not Shangguan Qingcheng. Although these new cavalry belong to the Wolf Tooth Army, Shangguan Qingcheng did not come forward.

According to Li Ye, Shangguan Qingcheng was a national scholar, and he was just Silla, so there was no need for the general to come in person.

The leading general was Zhao Nianci's younger brother. After experiencing the Battle of Luoyankou, he was one of the 5,000 surviving cavalry. He was then led by Shangguan Qingcheng to teach him. He is said to be a wise and brave general.

"This time the conquest of Silla, the dynasty dispatched 100,000 infantry and cavalry. Except for your Langya Army, the rest are basically infantrymen. The role you play is indeed not moving, and moving will be related to the outcome." When Zhang Changan said these words, he had an unconcealed envy.

He is now a civil servant and has no qualifications to participate in the war. The reason why he can follow Chu Zheng is to be an ordinary grain transport officer in the army. The Gesang tribe is a large tribe on the grassland. Although the population and number of cattle and sheep are not top-notch, his wealth is absolutely top-notch, so this time he also bears a lot of food and fodder supply.

"Silla's mountains and rivers are crisscrossing, the terrain is extremely energetic, and there are few flat lands and are mostly concentrated in the south. At the beginning of the war, our place of use is indeed not large. But when we appear, it must be a critical period for the late stage of the war and the decision to win or lose." Chu Zheng nodded, agreeing with Zhang Changan's judgment.

He suddenly looked at Zhang Changan strangely, "You really don't plan to have more contact with the daughter of the Left Minister of War? If you agree to this marriage, as long as you think, you will be transferred back to the army now. You don't have to watch this battle from afar, but you can join it.

"You and my brothers, from Hexi to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Mobei, if you can stand side by side in Silla, how happy and carefree it would be!"

These words hit Zhang Chang'an's thoughts, which made him feel a little fascinated, but at the end he just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't nag me about this. My grandfather has scolded me so much. Now I'm almost an unfilial son, so you can save me your worries."

"It seems that you are really fascinated by beauty... Alas, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty, and I understand you too." Chu Zheng made a gesture to pat Zhang Changan's shoulder to express comfort.

Zhang Changan angrily patted Chu Zheng's hand away and looked down on his words.

In fact, because he refused to be the son-in-law of the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, he has been said to have been immersed in the land of gentleness and entered the hero's tomb in the past six months.

But the truth is not like this at all. Not to mention that nothing happened between him and Gesang, Zhang Changan always believed that Gesang was not a fairy fox and charming boy at all. She was not as good-looking as others said, and she could not meet the requirements of being a fox and charming boy at all.

"This time the imperial dynasty sent troops eastward, attacking Silla and attacking Japan were carried out at the same time, with both troops and horses around 100,000. I heard that during the war planning stage, the court planned to send 150,000 troops from both sides, and Silla would also have naval troops to help.

Zhang Changan changed the topic: "But now, let alone the reduction of troops, the navy has also gone to Japan. If you don't have flanking reinforcements, this battle is probably not as easy as you imagined."

Chu Zheng waved his hand and looked dissatisfied, "You have not been in the army in the past two or three years, and you don't understand many things. Because the dynasty has concentrated resources to prepare for war, the military strength has increased by more than a little in the past few years. It is not as difficult as you think to attack Silla with 100,000 troops and advance head-on.

"Although the dynasty has dispatched not many soldiers this time, they are all the essence accumulated in recent years. It can be said that it represents the most elite force of the imperial guards at present. Soldiers are not expensive, but the current 100,000 soldiers and horses, if they were placed ten years ago, would be worth more than 500,000 troops!"

Zhang Changan was shocked, "Is this a bit too exaggerated?"

Chu Zheng smiled unfathomablely, "When you arrive at the battlefield, you will be behind you to open your eyes and see how your brother defeated the enemy. When your brother makes outstanding military achievements, don't regret not seizing the opportunity and returning to the army to participate in the war!"

Zhang Changan fell silent.

He knew Chu Zheng very well and knew that the other party didn't like to talk big. Since Chu Zheng was so confident, he would not be aimless. In this way, the current king's army is probably really different from before.

Thirty thousand elite cavalry, with a large army of food, fodder and supplies, traveled eastward through Yikunzhou, and arrived in Liaodong in ten days.

At this time, Zhao Polu, who served as the commander of the three armies in the Battle of Silla, had already taken the lead to Liaodong City.

Liaodong City, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, was the location of Andong Protectorate.

In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign, Li Jie captured Goryeo, captured Pyongyang City, and captured his king Gaozang, and all the territory surrendered. Gaozong set up the Andong Protectorate in Pyongyang City, and divided it into forty-two states. He appointed Xue Rengui as the Andong Protectorate and led his army to station Pyongyang City, thus establishing the rule of Goryeo and Baekje, leaving only Silla in the southeast corner.

In the third year of Zongzhang, Silla gathered 300,000 troops to fight for the ruling power of Goryeo, Baekje and other places to start a war against the 20,000 Tang troops stationed in Pyongyang City.

The war lasted for seven years. In the third year of Shangyuan, under the pressure of fighting against Tubo on the western front, the Tang Dynasty gave up the Baekje land and drew the Datong River with Silla to rule. It still ruled the Goryeo land in the north and south of the Yalu River. The Andong Protectorate moved to Liaodong City.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty gradually lost control of the territory outside the Great Wall.

The Khitan rose and occupied Liaodong, while the Bohai Kingdom occupied a large area of ​​land in the old land of Goryeo. After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Khitan, it regained Liaodong. The Yalu River (Yalu River) was still in the hands of the Bohai Kingdom, and the southern part of the peninsula was in the hands of Silla.

Ten years ago, the peasant Zhen Xuan rebelled and occupied Wuzhenzhou. He claimed to be the King of Houbaiet several years ago.

Gongren, a descendant of the Goryeo royal family who joined Zhen Xuan's army, has also called himself the Later Goryeo King.

When the princes emerged within the Tang Dynasty, Silla also fell into internal divisions. Now the three forces are separating the land and fighting each other. This era is also called Silla's "Post Three Kingdoms" era.

The Tang Dynasty is currently attacking such an opponent without underestimating the enemy, and 100,000 infantry and cavalry are enough.

Compared with the Three Kingdoms of Silla, the Bohai Kingdom in the northeast has a larger territory and looks stronger.

Li Ye appeared in Liaodong City with the Eye of Emperor Dao, and analyzed the battlefield situation with Zhao Polu in the central army's tent. "Although the Bohai Kingdom has a large territory, its composition is relatively complex. Marine, Jurchen, and Goryeo are the foundation, and it has mixed many savage tribes. Although he has learned and imitated our Tang Dynasty from the beginning of his country and has the reputation of the prosperous country of Haidong, his national strength is actually very ordinary."

In the history of the earth, Yelu Abaoji finally destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, and it was easy.

"Your Majesty means that we will first attack the Bohai Sea and solve this flanking threat?" Zhao Polu asked tentatively.

Li Ye shook his head, "Bohai Kingdom has accepted the imperial enthronement since its founding. Before the Anshi Rebellion, it paid tribute for years and was very respectful. I have sent envoys over there. As long as the Bohai King is not confused, I should know that submitting to the Tang Dynasty is the only choice."

Since Li Ye has made some arrangements, Zhao Polu can only express his admiration for Li Ye's early plans.

Zhao Polu did not ask why the Bohai Kingdom could be conquered, so why did it have to use troops to Silla? No knowledgeable Tang Dynasty would ask about this question.

In the words of the Central Plains, the people on the land of Silla have a rebellious bone in their heads, and their hearts are different from those of our race. They are very stubborn and can only use iron hooves to conquer, and there is no option to subdue.

When the world attacked the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai Kingdom was forced by the Khitan and although it was against the Tang Dynasty, it did not send a single army or a soldier from beginning to end. However, Silla was no longer bordering the Tang Dynasty. The north was cut off by the Bohai Kingdom, and many monks were still sent to the Khitan army to assist in the war.

It’s just that Silla’s power is too small, and their monks have no sense of existence at all.

"If the Bohai Kingdom knows to advance and retreat, the army can directly go to the south bank of Yalishui, and the troops are heading straight to the Datong River. If they do not know how to advance and retreat, with the terrain of the Bohai Kingdom, the elite cavalry can drive straight in, and I will just look at the power of the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army."

Li Ye said this very proudly and complacently, but Zhao Polu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Although the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army is only 30,000, it already has the combat power to traverse the grassland. This is a fact and there is no need to be humble at all.

At this time, Li Ye suddenly remembered something.

This time when fighting in Silla, it is bound to capture all its territory. What needs to be done next is to govern this unruly place. Iron-blooded skills are naturally indispensable. For example, a large number of people migrate here to the south of the Yangtze River, but at the same time, the stubborn people here must be domesticated.

When it comes to educating the people, whether it is Wukong Buddhist or Taoist sect, their abilities are far inferior to those of Confucian sects.
