Chapter 17 Strategies

Liaodong belonged to Yingzhou in the Xia and Shang dynasties in Chinese history. In the fourth year of King Wu of Zhou, the son of Wending and King Zhou's uncle Jizi went to Liaodong to establish an oriental gentleman country, teach the people to use etiquette and righteousness, fields and weaving, and brought the culture of the Central Plains and advanced production technology to Liaodong, promoted production development, and promoted national integration. Since then, Liaodong has become an indivisible inherent territory of the Central Plains.

The following Qin, Han, Han, Jin and Jin dynasties, Liaodong were the inherent territory of their Han nationality and Chinese dynasties. Although Liaodong was sometimes occupied by other countries due to the decline of national strength, they would soon regain their abilities.

Only Goguryeo was an accident. Goguryeo took advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Wei and Later Yan and Northern Yan to start a war and took advantage of the opportunity to seize Liaodong. In the following two centuries, Liaodong became Goguryeo's territory under the control of Goguryeo. This fell for too long, so that Goguryeo shamelessly regarded Liaodong as their territory, and regarded the Sui and Tang dynasties that regained their own territory as foreign invaders.

Four large-scale battles were launched between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo, and nearly four million soldiers were used one after another, but they still failed to retake Liaodong.

"I have met the chief executive!" Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Zhenzhou, Cheng Mingzhen and others crossed the Liaoshui River and came to Gaimu City together.

All the generals were extremely happy about the victory of this first battle and smiled.

"The King of Rencheng, General Manager Zhang, the battle on the banks of the Liaoshui River was beautiful!"

At this time, Luo Shixin had received a detailed report about the battle. The Tang army defeated the city with 8,000 cavalry, with the goal of destroying Goguryeo's vitality.

If these eight thousand cavalry had not been overthrown by the city, Goguryeo learned that Gaimu City was attacked. The Tang army had crossed the Liao River and the Liao River defense line was broken. They would definitely evacuate Huaiyuan Town, which had lost its strategic significance, without any injury. However, with the existence of eight thousand cavalry, the situation would be different. In order to prevent the Tang army from attacking halfway and attacking their retreating troops, they would not have been able to block the rear of the palace without division.

Here is a very careful measure. If there are fewer soldiers and horses in the palace, there will be a risk of being wiped out if there is no effect. If there are too many soldiers and horses, it will be a bit wasteful.

Yuan Binzhi was heavy and steady. In order to avoid the entire army being wiped out, he left behind 15,000 troops behind the palace. Facing Yuan Binzhi's heroic man cut off his arm, Li Daozong and Zhang Shigui made a quick decision. He ignored Yuan Binzhi's retreating army, but trapped all 15,000 troops behind the palace to death, ate them in one bite, and wiped them as much as possible.

Not to mention Luo Shixin, even Li Jing's use of military force cannot be accurate.

This tests the generals' own judgment and ability to adapt to changes. There is no doubt that Li Daozong and Zhang Shigui are rare generals. When they need to make their own decisions, they made the most correct choice and almost wiped out 15,000 Goguryeo soldiers.

This also means that in the next Liaodong offensive and defensive battle, Goguryeo will have tens of thousands of guards, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of siege in the future.

"The generals are all well-managed, otherwise how could we achieve such brilliant results!" Li Daozong and Zhang Shigui's team Luo Shixin were all convinced and said politely.

Luo Shixin led them into Gaimu City. On the way, he heard Luo Shixin talk about the supplies he obtained from the capture of Gaimu City. He was shocked and smiled and had hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass. The spoil was too rich.

Luo Shixin was as decisive as ever and held a military meeting as soon as the army met in Gaimu City.

The generals gathered in the conference hall in Gaimu City. Luo Shixin had not arrived yet, because he won the battle, and the generals were in a good mood and chatted with each other.

At this moment, they heard Luo Shixin and several laughter that they had never heard before, and stopped talking one by one, looking curiously at the entrance of the hall. Soon, Luo Shixin led three men dressed in Goguryeo clothes into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Luo Shixin said to everyone happily: "Before the meeting, I will introduce to everyone a few friends I met in Goguryeo. The detailed topographic map of Goguryeo in your hands was carefully drawn by them after ten years. This time, our Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer Goguryeo, but it was inseparable from their help."

Luo Shixin led the remnants of the Sui Dynasty stationed in Changbai Mountain. They lived in Changbai Mountain with great difficulty in avenging their compatriots who died in Goguryeo. They always thought that this opportunity to avenge their revenge was out of reach, especially Luo Shixin was frank about the future development goal of the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo was just a potential threat to the Tang Dynasty, not a stumbling block in the road ahead. The main goal of the Tang Dynasty in the next ten years was to experience the Western Regions, and it was impossible to let go of Goguryeo.

There I knew that Goguryeo was committed suicide and joined forces with Yamato and Baekje to deal with the Tang Dynasty, which prompted the Tang Dynasty to launch a conquest against Goguryeo.

Zuo Tiancheng and the others who received this news were even more excited than Luo Shixin, the commander of the three armies. Before he could speak, they contacted Luo Shixin and wanted to provide help.

Luo Shixin attached great importance to Zuo Tiancheng and his team of surprises, and was extremely enthusiastic about them. After he captured Gaimu City, he personally came up to congratulate him.

"This is Zuo Tiancheng, one of the generals under the command of Yuwen Shu, the general of the Sui Dynasty in the past. This is General Yunhui Zhao Dezhu, and this is the chief of the navy general, Sun Zengyou, who was under the command of Hu'er in the past..."

After not seeing each other for many years, the three of them did not change much. Zuo Tiancheng is still short and capable, Zhao Dezhu is as tall and burly as ever, Sun Zengyou is very ordinary, and Luo Shixin almost forgot what he looks like.

All the generals were very convinced by Luo Shixin. They responded politely to the person who introduced Luo Shixin with warmth.

"These three people know more about Goguryeo than we do. I also invited him to attend this meeting. Do you have any objections, right?" Luo Shixin said with a smile.

Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, and Sun Zengyou were a little moved.

Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Mingzhen and others were a little incredible. This crucial military meeting was attended by outsiders, and they felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but they couldn't say anything in front of the three of them, thinking that if there was a clever plan, they were discussing after the meeting.

Luo Shixin could also see the thoughts of the generals, but he didn't say it in detail. They didn't know what Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, and Sun Zengyou had paid for revenge. Hundreds of thousands of robes were buried in this land, and their corpses were also built into Jingguan to confess and show off. As a group of people on the road to revenge, they hoped to see the demise of Goguryeo than anyone else.

They will only support them without any defeat and do not have the intention of betrayal.

Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, and Sun Zengyou were guests, and Luo Shixin gave them the honorary position of their guests.

Luo Shixin took the lead and said, "We won the first battle and it is indeed worth celebrating, but the road is still very long. We cannot be happy too early. We will face Liaodong next. The city that Yang Guang did not capture with a 600,000 army... Although Yang Guang was indeed stupid among them, it can be seen that Liaodong is indeed difficult to fight. What do you think about how to pull out the nails of Liaodong?" He knew that there were Zuo Tiancheng, Zhao Dezhu, Sun Zengyou outsiders, Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Mingzhen and other generals would not say even if they had any opinions, so he looked at the three people and said, "Brother Zuo, Brother Zhao, Brother Sun, you have been here for so many years, I want to hear your opinions and opinions."

Zuo Tiancheng said: "I am a rude man and have no other opinion. Let Brother Sun say it, he knows it."

Sun Zengyou has always been their think tank. At this moment, he stood up and said, "There are three reasons why Liaodong City is easy to defend but difficult to attack: First, Goguryeo has been in operation for more than 20 years and has been repaired for more than 20 times. The city is so strong that it is no less than the fortress and fortress. Second, he and Xincheng and Jian'an City are extremely supportive and troubling each other. The army is unable to siege the city and it is difficult to capture it. Third, Liaodong has tied up the important roads deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo. If it cannot take Liaodong, the army will not be able to penetrate.

On the contrary, they were able to enter and exit freely, send their troops from the rear, and support Liaodong City unlimitedly. It is because of these three points that Liaodong can face the day and night attack of 600,000 troops and will not fall for many days. Even if they cannot hold on for the time being, they can recover in a short time. According to the situation we found, Yuan Gaisuwen has sent 25,000 infantry and cavalry to support Liaodong City. If Liaodong City gets these 25,000 victories, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to capture Liaodong."

Sun Zengyou was originally a think tank to Hu'er, and he had a certain military level. In Goguryeo for more than ten years, he studied the situation of Goguryeo day after day, and he could not tell the advantages and disadvantages of Liaodong.

"How can I solve it?" Luo Shixin nodded in agreement. What Sun Zengyou said made sense, but he only knew the other party's strength but did not know the flaws, which was equal to zero.

Sun Zengyou looked at the map in the upper right corner and came to the map. He pointed to the point on the map and said, "Bisha City, this city is built on the ridge of the southern peak of Daheishan Mountain. The stone walls are built according to the mountains. It stretches for about five kilometers. It is majestic and handsome, and is spectacular. The canyons in the city are winding, and the cliffs around the city are surrounded by cliffs. Camps can be set up in the city. Advance can attack and retreat can defend, but the west gate can climb. As long as the Tang Dynasty naval army can conquer Beisha City by water, they can directly threaten their capital Pyongyang. This country is threatened, and Yuan Gaisuwen will definitely not dare to support Liaodong. As for Liaodong City, Xincheng, Jian'an City can only use strong attacks. Liaodong City cannot move at present. In my opinion, we should start from Xincheng. The New City guard is Sun Yuansong of Yuanbin. This person is quite wise, but he is young and vigorous, and he can't use it."

Luo Shixin asked: "Who is the guardian of Jian'an City?"

Sun Zengyou said: "It is Huxianggu, Yuan Binzhi's adopted son. He is a heavy-hearted and steady person and has the spirit of a general. It is said that Yuan Binzhi is determined to cultivate Huxianggu and become the future lord of Liaodong. Yuan Song is very dissatisfied with this!"

Luo Shixin suddenly became interested, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes: "Tell me about the news about Yuansong and Huxianggu?" (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
