Chapter 20 Liu Boying(1/2)
It can be imagined that after Liu Ren's wish to be kind and powerful, he can do his best.
The soldiers below will definitely be more arrogant and dare not relax.
Having said that, Liu Renyuan is really an interesting general.
As the General of Zuo Xiaowei, Su Dingfang was specially stayed to preside over the overall situation of Baekje and waited for Wang Wendu to take over the Xiongjin Governor's Office.
Su Dingfang naturally believed in Liu Renyuan's ability when he made such arrangements.
The person is brave and crafty, and the rough and the fine.
At first glance, it was easy to be deceived by his rough appearance of the Huns, thinking that he was just a reckless man.
However, he didn't expect that Liu Renyuan was as careful as silk and had a lot of wisdom and cleverness in his heart.
It is even more rare that this person is still a powerful general.
He was once appreciated by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin for his bravery in fighting on the battlefield.
Only such a person, who is both wise and brave, can defend the fundamental interests of the Tang Dynasty in such a complex situation as Baekje.
After appeased the messenger, Liu Renyuan asked slowly: "By the way, why are you making noise outside? Are you in any emergency military information?"
Even if there is an emergency military situation, it will not be so short.
Anyway, the situation in Baekje is now like this, and it is so chaotic that it is impossible to be chaotic anymore.
The Tang army is now shrinking in Siqi City, not afraid of the Baekje rebels making trouble.
To put it in a word, it is to say that it is strong and the breeze crosses the hills.
Therefore, Liu Renyuan is not in a hurry at all.
This is exactly when he shows his calm demeanor, and he has always done a good job in grasping this scale.
After Liu Renyuan asked, the messenger remembered and said, "Yes, there is news, there is a ship, the ship is coming, the ship is coming from the Tang Dynasty."
Even though Liu Renyuan has done sufficient psychological construction, he believes that there is nothing in Baekje that can shake his mood.
When I heard the words "The ship from the Tang Dynasty", I lost my hand and pulled a few of my beards.
Hiss ~
Liu Renyuan sucked his face.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere was very strange.
"The Tang Dynasty ship has finally arrived. Why don't you go with me to greet me?"
Liu Renyuan shouted with a calm face, held his waist and walked out of the camp with his head raised and his chest.
As soon as I went out, I heard the sound of "puff" laughing sound coming from behind me.
Thieves, your mother, I used too much force today and I didn't stop it.
It is rare that Liu Renyuan's dark old face turned red.
The ship docked at Xiongjin Port.
There is still a waterway to Siqi.
He dropped the boat from the big boat and went up the Xiongjin River. In just half a day, he arrived in Siqi.
The envoy Xuanwei sent by the Tang Dynasty this time was General Zuo Xiaowei and founding Duke Liu Boying.
Su Dingfang and his team conquered Baekje in August and left at the end of September for a month and a half.
At this time, the five years of Xianqing have passed, and only half a month has passed. In order to celebrate this victory, the Tang Dynasty has changed its New Year name, which is the first year of Longshuo.
Calculate the time when Liu Boying set off, it should be before Su Dingfang and the others returned to Chang'an, and Li Zhi sent Liu Boying to represent the emperor to comfort Baekje.
Obviously, Li Zhi attached great importance to the conquest of Baekje.
For example, after Su Dingfang conquered Baekje at the end of August, he sent messengers.
The emergency military situation was accelerated by hundreds of miles, and the personnel were rotated. In just one month, the battle report was passed to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi got the battle report and was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself.
He secretly met with important officials and prime ministers in the court overnight to discuss the perfect solution to govern Baekje.
The merit of expanding territory is supreme glory and praise for the emperor.
It is hard to have anything in this world that can excite the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The achievements of pioneering are one of them.
Not only did he prove his ability, he made great contributions.
You can also comfort Taimiao and the late emperor and tell them that they did not choose the wrong person.
His own achievements are enough to carry the world of the Tang Dynasty.
After the initial excitement, Li Zhi quickly planned to establish five governors' offices in Baekje.
Wang Wendu was the first governor of Xiongjin, and subsequent reinforcements were sent to Baekje to replace defense.
Wang Wendu, who was familiar with Li Zhi's temperament, knew that it was of great importance. Before the reinforcements were assembled, he took some of his confidants alone and rushed to Baekje by boat.
It happened to be a miserable pass with Su Dingfang who was returning.
Su Dingfang's return to the Tang Dynasty was so urgent, which was also related to the urging in Li Zhi's imperial edict.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not wait to meet these neighbors in the east.
After all, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla existed longer than the Tang Dynasty.
From the Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, countless manpower and material resources were consumed in the Central Plains, but this hidden danger was never solved.
But in Li Zhi's hands, the breakthrough was finally opened.
One battle was successful.
After solving Baekje, Goguryeo's problem was solved halfway.
Taizong's unfinished career is expected to be achieved in his own hands.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zhi was already very anxious at this time.
Liu Boying's fleet this time also brought new reinforcements with a number of about 10,000 people.
After inquiring, we found out that Liu Boying and the others were originally under Wang Wendu, and this time they came to Baekje together.
But Wang Wendu walked too fast and the reinforcements had not yet been assembled.
When they walked halfway, they were shocked to hear that Wang Wendu had died suddenly, and Su Dingfang had also returned to the Tang Dynasty and met Li Zhi and Queen Wu Meiniang who were patrolling in Luoyang in the eastern capital.
At this time, Li Zhi had already decided Luoyang as the capital of the gods. Although he did not directly explain it, it had the meaning of living in Luoyang.
All the important officials in the court and the entire administrative team were moved over, obviously they had the plan to live for a long time.
Therefore, Su Dingfang met Li Zhi earlier than the scheduled time.
After hearing Su Dingfang's inference about the situation in Baekje, Li Zhi immediately adjusted his strategy and ordered Liu Boying's troops who were waiting for further orders in Laizhou to lead the new emperor's order to represent him to go to Baekje to comfort Liu Renyuan's troops stationed there.
At the same time, as a reinforcement from the Tang Dynasty, he helped Liu Renyuan assist in defense.
It seems that Li Zhi also knew that relying solely on Liu Renyuan’s ten thousand people, it was a bit unreliable to defend Baekje.
"...Liu Renyuan was specially appointed as the deputy general manager of the Yidao marching, and Su Da was the acting governor of Xiongjin..."
When Liu Boying, who was wearing armor and covered with a snow-white cloak, read out the imperial edict in his hand, Liu Renyuan, Su Dawei and a group of Tang army generals who stayed in Baekje were confused.
Just listen to the encouragement in this imperial edict, the focus is on this personnel appointment.
The general manager of the military commander of the Yidao, was the King of Silla, Jin Chunqiu.
Isn’t it because of Jin Chunqiu’s restraint now that Liu Renyuan is appointed as the deputy general manager?
And Su Dawei's appointment is even more strange.
Liu Renyuan had previously joked that Su Dawei would take on the work of the Xiongjin Governor's Office and handle the exchanges of documents and counselors.
In a letter to Li Zhi, he also mentioned the vacuum left behind after Su Dawei was the acting governor, Wang Wendu died suddenly.
Or ask the emperor to send another new governor.
Otherwise the work will not be carried out.
But Liu Renyuan didn't really believe in his heart that Li Zhi would really do this.
The result now is much beyond everyone's expectations.
Governor, everyone knows it.
What is the level of acting governor?
Are the powers the same?
Is it a temporary appointment or a chance to become a regular?
In addition, what position Liu Boying currently has? Who is in Baekje? He has not mentioned any of the imperial edicts.
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
