"The Fuyu people have occupied Liaodong for too many years. They have a foundation there. Even if Goguryeo is destroyed, it is impossible to eradicate what the Fuyu people left behind in a hurry.
You can't just send all the people to the Central Plains like the Japanese did. Even if you do that, there will be no Buyeo people and there will be other ethnic groups. So when you get back, you have to discuss how to govern places like Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo?
Make arrangements early, and don't wait until things come to an end and then think of solutions. Just like Baekje, it will be destroyed in one battle, which makes people feel a little unprepared.
Look at the chaos after that, even King Du kept complaining, it’s really dumbfounding.”
A few people wanted to laugh. The emperor was in a good mood and kept joking here. But as they listened, they all looked ashamed. They did not think beforehand that it would be the dereliction of duty of the ministers.
The emperor's words were light and airy, but what he said was that you are somewhat incompetent. If you don't understand this meaning, I'm afraid your head will be kicked by a donkey.
It's just that the emperor was very cruel to the Japanese. Those who were sent to Chang'an were all from the Japanese royal family. Previously, the men had their heads chopped off, and the women were sent to the temple, leaving no face for the Japanese royal family.
Is it because the king of the Japanese Kingdom claimed to be the emperor, or he once sent a message to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, saying that the emperor of the Sunrise Kingdom sent a letter to the Emperor of the Sunrise Kingdom that the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom was fine?
The charges against the Japanese were a bit vague, but the emperor was so angry that he destroyed his country and his country was so severe that it was rare in history. For example, it was more normal to destroy Baekje. I don’t know why your majesty has so much resentment against the Japanese barbarians?
So if Goguryeo is conquered, will you be more merciful?
Even Feng Deyi, the most thoughtful person, couldn't quite figure it out.
They really need to go back and think about it carefully and realize what the holy will is.
However, from a practical point of view, Wen Yanbo felt that sending officials to govern after the war, stationing a certain number of troops, appeasing the local natives, etc. were all established strategies after the destruction of the country, and in fact there was no need for much discussion.
…………
Speaking of which, the attack on Goguryeo must be the most important battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Now the arrow is ready to go.
Wen Yanbo suggested sending Dugu Kaiyuan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, to lead an envoy to the Turks to discuss the situation in Liaodong with the Turkic royal court and make complete preparations for the coming war.
Li Po immediately agreed. To show his sincerity, he also ordered people to go to Luoyang quickly and asked the people from the Military Intelligence Department to leave a few Goguryeo envoys to send to the Turks as gifts.
"Some time ago, the Turkic Khan sent me a letter. I saw that she was already interested in the Western Regions, but she didn't mention anything about Liaodong. So, you should think carefully about what to say when you go to the royal court.
With the Turks on the side, Liaodong can be put aside for the time being, but the hinterland of Goguryeo must be made clear to them. It is where the Tang Dynasty must win. After this battle, Yingzhou and other places will also be taken back. Please keep the promise to the Turkic Khan."
Several important ministers nodded, and Feng Deyi said: "Take back the counties of Yingzhou, and the Khitan and Xi tribes are not easy to deal with. They are scattered all over the place and exist for the sake of strength.
Those tribes that surrendered to the Sui Dynasty were attached to the Turks and repeatedly invaded various counties in Youzhou.
In order to avoid future troubles, it is better to suggest to the Khan that we join forces to wipe out the rebels."
Changsun Shunde said: "Isn't this matter difficult to accomplish? Now all the Khitans and Xi people have surrendered to the Turkic Eastern Khan..."
Having said this, he thought about it for a moment and turned to look at Feng Deyi. Feng Deyi was also looking at him and said with a slight smile: "Without these Northeastern savages, the Eastern Khan's tent will be much weaker, but
With Ashina Elivo and Ashina having heard about it, everyone in the Turkic royal court can feel more at ease?"
The two had a brief confrontation, and Changsun Shunde was defeated.
In terms of general strategy, none of the prime ministers in the DPRK could match Feng Deyi's cunning and strategizing, because he not only saw the situation in Liaodong, but also measured people's hearts.
As for what choice Ashina Yang Huan will make, that is another matter.
Changsun Shunde secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that this guy was old, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to fight him.
Wen Yanbo didn't care about this, and then agreed: "I thought I might as well give it a try."
Li Po nodded, "That's very good. I have also seen those Northeastern savages, who live in remote and cold places. They are a bit miserable, but they are wild and untamable.
I call you my master today, but I will bite you tomorrow. You are no different from a Japanese. Cleaning it up can make you a lot cleaner.
Ashina Duowen once led troops to help the Khitan tribes defeat the Shiwei people, and he is probably very popular there. I have discussed this matter with the Turkic royal court, and I think they have no reason not to agree."
Around Liaodong, the emperor and his ministers roughly made some strategies.
The intrigue between two big countries can unknowingly determine the fate of countless people. Once such a national policy is implemented, it is hard to say whether there will be Khitan, Jurchen and the like in the future.
There are some things that Li Po didn't say. There are also a lot of Northeastern tribes such as the Khitan and the Xi tribe, which can just add to the Tang Dynasty.
With such an emperor, the tribes and states around the Tang Dynasty must be more careful. If they make a mistake, they may be sent to work in the Tang Dynasty. Who do you think you can talk to for reasoning?
In the past dynasties, foreigners were recruited as minions, and the additional effect was actually to satisfy the emperor's vanity, because these were the achievements of emperors that could be recorded in history.
For example, foreigners come to the king from time to time. How many people come and whether the gifts are rich or not are secondary. The main thing is that this thing itself will make the emperor's face shine.
Therefore, since ancient times, tribes attached to the Central Plains Dynasty have received more or less preferential treatment.
Later, it became even more extreme. Whether it was the emperor or his ministers, they were even more concerned about it if they had the blessing of "all nations coming to pay homage".
Sometimes I don't consider my own interests. As long as you dare to come to court, I dare to let you return home with a full load. All I want is to make a note in the history books.
Unlike Li Po, who is always ready to knock people to the ground with a stick...
…………
The monarch and his ministers talked for a long time, but they all felt that they still had something to say. Li Po simply took people to the Liangyi Palace, and invited Xiao Yu, Du Chuke, Liu Zhenghui, Cen Wenwen and others to eat and drink together.
In this whole gathering of prime ministers, Wen Yanbo was the only one with the most power. Who asked the minister to be the only servant?
They were gathered together, each in charge of different matters, and the topics they talked about were all over the place, but not limited to one place.
In the end, the three chief officials of Menxia Province became the target of public criticism. They had the power to seal and refute edicts. They often found fault with the memorials sent to them from the other two provinces. They were also able to gossip in front of the emperor, which was really hateful.
