Not long after, Li Shimin issued an order to personally enlist in Goguryeo, and the crown prince Li Chengqian supervised the country.

Yuchi Gong, Zhang Shigui, Niu Jinda, and Xue Wanche followed the army to fight. Liu Rengui led the navy to fight with the army to fight.

Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered Zhang Liang to be the chief marching chief of Pyongyang Road, and Zuo Dan should be the deputy chief of Pyongyang Road, Ran Rende, Liu Yingxing, Zhang Wengan, Pang Xiaotai, and Cheng Mingzhen should be the chief marching chief.

The specific deployment was that Liu Rengui led the Navy's North Sea Fleet to go out with the army, escorting Ran Rende, Liu Yingxing, Zhang Wengan, Pang Xiaotai, and Cheng Mingzhen as general managers, and led 43,000 troops to leave Laizhou on a naval transport ship and cross the Yellow Sea to advance towards Pyongyang.

At the same time, Li Shiji was appointed as the chief marching commander of Liaodong Road, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was appointed as the deputy chief marching commander of Liaodong Road, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Jian, Ashinamishe, Jiang Xingben, and Wu Heita were the chief marching commander of Liaodong, leading 160,000 troops from 6 places to march towards Liaodong.

This time, the expedition to Goguryeo was three years ahead of schedule, and the troops were 10,000 more than in history.

Gegemu City.

Pei Dilan returned to the general's mansion and met Adnan and others. He would send someone to Damascus to ask Harry for instructions according to the terms agreed with Li You.

Pei Dilan, Adnan and others really don’t want to fight with the Tang Dynasty people now, and are ready to retreat to the northwest of Ashgabad City of Toro Prefecture.

A few days later, Li You sent someone to lead the team, Hao Junjie, who escorted 50,000 dan of grain and 100 dan of salt to the big cannibal.

Pei Dilan was very happy because he asked Li You for extra salt, and he gave it to him so quickly.

Pei Dilan was also very trustworthy and settled the money for Hao Junjie and sent someone to escort them across the border.

That's not all, but Hao Junjie also brought Li You a Persian gilded silver plate.

This silver plate is 1 cm high, 18 cm in diameter, 4 cm in height, and 5 cm in diameter. This hunting pattern is a common pattern in the Persian Sassanian Dynasty. Its composition has a typical Persian Sassanian artistic style and belongs to the royal silver plate used by the royal family.

The hammer is made, and the theme is highlighted in the picture, similar to relief, with three-dimensional sense. The main pattern is a hunting picture. Standing in the center of the hunting picture is a middle-aged man with an Iranian face, with a beard and a round hat covering his head. The hunter holds spears in both hands, and three wild boars are moving in the reeds behind him. The hunting figure's expression is very peaceful and slightly flat, which is also an image that Sassanian art likes to express. At that time, the nobles all believed that calmness and tranquility were a noble and brave state of mind, so their faces would never show any expressions such as tension, excitement, anger, or force.

This kind of silver plate Li You saw in the Shanxi Provincial Museum in his previous life and was priceless.

Li You showed it to Hamid, and he said that this Persian gilt silver plate was built 50 years ago, with a total of 4 sides. At that time, Persia surrendered to the Byzantine Empire to pay tribute to the Byzantine Empire. After being sent to Rome, the whereabouts of these Persian gilt silver plates were unknown.

This Persian gilt silver plate was seized from the Greek royal family, and it seems that it was awarded to the Greek royal family by the Byzantine Emperor.

This Persian gilt silver plate is currently worth at least 10,000 guan.

"Well, it's not bad, it's quite reasonable." Li You smiled.

Hamid said: "It seems that the big cannibal is not a big problem."

Li You shook his head and said, "I hope so."

Xue Rengui said, "Your Majesty, Prince, I think it's safe to fight a war."

Li You nodded silently.

Xue Rengui made a point. The peace we talked about was not reliable. He could only rely on his strength to fight the cannibals and suffer heavy losses. He understood that fighting against the people of the Tang Dynasty would cost a huge price.

Hamid also understood this truth, but the main force of the Tang army has not arrived yet, and danger may arise at any time. He secretly prayed that the cannibals should not attack at this time.

Next, Li You and others listened to Abu Hassan's introduction to the situation of various ethnic groups in Angot Province.

The Persian Empire ruled the model, which was to set up provinces in occupied areas and send governors to manage them. In the areas under management, the leaders of various tribes were basically the city guards, religious freedom was implemented, and light taxes were collected. This method encountered less resistance and loose management. When encountering large-scale wars, the potential for war was also small. This was also one of the important reasons why the Persians could not defeat the cannibals.

This management model of Persians brought certain difficulties to the Tang Dynasty's takeover. In this area, the Han population base was too small to implement the county system like the mainland.

Li You and others decided to temporarily follow the management model of the Persian Empire, encourage mainlanders to come here to do business and live, gradually increase the population base of the Han people, implement intermarriage, and gradually implement ethnic integration.

In the future wars in South and Southeast Asia, in order to stabilize the occupied areas as soon as possible, the management model of Persia is a good choice.

That day, I finally waited for another good news.

Xueyantuo's 10,000 cavalrymen, led by Asina Kuncang, the son of Asina Hongliang, came to Kabul City.

Now, Li You has 20,000 cavalry and an army of the Flying Tiger Army, plus the 3,000 Iron Guards in Hamid's hands and 7,000 Persian troops in the Governor's Office, he finally has some confidence.

It was April 10 in a blink of an eye, and it was only 12 days before the takeover meeting was held.

The cannibal still has no movement.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Umar, wearing Tang army uniforms, and his soldiers were sitting in the yard, babbling, learning Chinese from the general translator.

They have now been incorporated into Li You's guard, and Baihu has not arranged for them to do things for the time being, so they can solve the problem of language communication first.

At this time, Xue Rengui, Qualcomm, Hou Cheng, Li Tongshan, Li Tongshan's deputy generals and others walked in with a group of young officers.

Umar and others quickly stood up and saluted the generals.

Qualcomm said: "No need to be polite, we are here to learn too."

Li You believed that it was possible to deal with the cannibals and asked the generals to learn simple conversations, which would be used on the battlefield. Those who followed them were officers selected by various troops. They had to learn simple battlefield shouting and then go back to teach the troops.

Gemu City, General's Mansion.

Early this morning, Pei Dilan had just gotten up and was washing his face. Adnan sent someone to report: "Your Highness, General Mohamed, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, has sent someone to come. Adnan asked you to go over and discuss matters."

Mohammer, commander of the Southern Expedition Army, brought an unexpected situation: Khalid, the military commander of the Dashi Empire, encountered the Franks' heavy armored cavalry when he was attacking Frank, and suffered heavy losses. He urgently mobilized 70,000 troops from the Southern Expedition Army to participate in the Frank Battle.

Because the Southern Expedition Army drew some of its main forces, its defense on the Eastern Front was weakened and it was attacked by the Persian army of Hamid's tribe, and the situation was somewhat unfavorable.

Mohammer hopes that the Eastern Expedition Army will march into Kabul as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the Southern Expedition Army's eastern front.

Adnan asked, "Your Highness, what do you think you should do?"
