"Enter the city!"

At Luo Shixin's order, the Tang army entered Liaodong City with great pride and sent the good news back to Chang'an.

After conquering Liaodong, Luo Shixin did not rush to advance, but chose to recuperate in Liaodong City.

Their army went on a thousand miles of expedition and was not adapted to the local conditions. Although they achieved considerable results throughout the battle and defeated Liaodong in one fell swoop, they also felt tired of fighting for a long time. Especially for the attack of Liaodong City, although there was only the last stage of strong attack, the Tang army was covered by cannon stones, strong bows and crossbows, and they still inevitably suffered a certain amount of casualties. They needed a period of rest to restore their best combat effectiveness.

Sharpening a knife will not delay cutting wood, and it can also be used in this place.

During the rest period, Luo Shixin, as the commander of the three armies, did not rest due to rest periods. He continued to investigate Goguryeo's reaction after losing Liaodong City and investigated the situation of the people in Liaodong City.

When investigating Goguryeo's movements, Luo Shixin handed over to Zuo Tiancheng and others. They had been dormant in Goguryeo for ten years and had their own intelligence network. It was appropriate for them to handle this matter. The situation of the people in Liaodong City was naturally left to Liu Rengui to deal with. He suffered skin trauma, but he had a lot of blood and his body was not as strong as that of generals like Luo Shixin, so he showed signs of coma. In fact, he was not seriously injured. During the period of attack on Liaodong, he had basically recovered almost.

As a famous prime minister of the later generation, Liu Rengui was both talented and civil and military, and had outstanding military strategies and a level of governance. It was also perfect for him to handle matters in Liaodong.

Just when Liaodong was resting, Luo Shixin also received news that the Navy and Army had captured Beisha City.

Although Beisha City was built along the mountain and was steep on all sides, only the West Gate could climb, Luo Shixin handed over most of the siege equipment prepared in Youzhou to them, and most of the used siege equipment to attack Liaodong were temporarily built. With advanced technology and the courage of the Tang army soldiers, he finally defeated the city and completely controlled Beisha City.

"Very good!"

Luo Shixin waved his fists and handed the newly arrived news to Xue Rengui, saying, "What do you think?"

Xue Rengui took it calmly, looked it over and over again, pondering for a long time. Since he became Luo Shixin's personal guard, he has been constantly guiding him in martial arts, and has not avoided suspicion in many military handling, and even took the initiative to tell him all the more confidential situations and listen to his opinions. Xue Rengui knew that Luo Shixin was determined to cultivate him, and was moved in his heart. He seized this difficult opportunity and studied harder and harder.

After thinking about the map beside him for a long time, Xue Rengui said: "Bisha City is located near Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. Controlling the city of Goguryeo can threaten Pyongyang. This is like a sharp blade inserted into the heart of Goguryeo. Our troops are a little insufficient now. If Goguryeo comes to fight, it will be dangerous to have too much disparity in strength. But now our army is controlled by our army, and this situation will be different. Goguryeo must divide some troops to protect their capital, and send some troops to attack Beisha City. At the same time, they cannot do anything. Our army has captured the city and attacked their front-line cities one by one, and they must send troops to support it. In this way, their troops will be divided into three routes because we captured Beisha City, which can be defeated one by one by our army."

Luo Shixin praised with a smile: "It makes sense. In military terms, you are indeed the same as I thought, and have different talents."

He has seen Xue Rengui's efforts and dedication all these days. Xue Rengui's ability to become a legendary figure in the future has indeed the potential to become a legendary figure. This potential does not depend on their talents but on their nature and nature, and their grasp of opportunities. Xue Rengui seized this opportunity well and studied with sincerity. This is more important than anything else.

A day later, Liu Rengui found Luo Shixin with his planned Liaodong political governance plan.

Luo Shixin looked at the thick governance plan in his hand and sighed, "You can understand my thoughts." He was not in a hurry to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo. Restoration was one point, and the real key was to appease the people. He had some concerns about the situation in Liaodong deep in his heart, because when he entered the city, he found that most of the people in the city looked at them not so friendly, and even with a little hatred, their existence in Liaodong was even more unpopular than he thought.

If he sent troops to Goguryeo at this time, he would be very likely to instigate the Haidong Peninsula by sending troops to attack the Haidong Peninsula, Goguryeo would be able to instigate the people of Liaodong to cause trouble for them in their rear.

Luo Shixin was mentally prepared for the people of Liaodong to be so hostile. After all, Liaodong has been occupied by Goguryeo for more than two hundred years. Over the past two hundred years, the local people have been ruled by Goguryeo. Generations of their children have been educated by Goguryeo culture. Generations of young people must admit that they are Goguryeo people if they want to make a name for themselves. Faced with this brainwashing of nearly two hundred years, local people have truly realized that their ancestors were people from Central Plains, and they are covered with blood from people from Central Plains. There are really few such people.

Of course, the most important thing is that Goguryeo has developed well in recent years, especially at the end of the fifth century, when Goguryeo succeeded to the throne, Goguryeo began to enter its heyday. They merged with the Fuyu Kingdom and the Marine tribe in the north. The next few generations captured Liaodong in the Central Plains, absorbed the culture of the Central Plains, and the country developed very rapidly. Although Goguryeo had some amazing kings, the development within the territory was still stable, and most of the people could live and work in peace.

It was not until the Sui Dynasty unified the world and began to demand neighboring countries as their subordinates, and it was recognized by most of them. Goguryeo was extremely ambitious and disobeyed this and even sent troops to western Liaoning, intending to further devour Chinese territory.

The battle between Sui and Goguryeo was also started. As the attacked side, peace in Goguryeo was naturally broken. Especially Yang Guang's three invasions and hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the border three times. Even if he did not win, it would be a devastating blow to Liaodong, where he was directly victimized. The people were seeking life, and the Sui Dynasty was the evil one who destroyed their lives. When the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, Liaodong also restored peace under the rule of Yuan Binzhi. However, before the ten years of peace, the newly established dynasty of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty once again invaded.

Of course, this time it was not the Tang Dynasty that took the initiative to attack. It was indeed Goguryeo who first attacked western Liaoning and Youzhou, but the people would not care about this detail. They just knew that the Tang Dynasty that broke their stable life was the one who entered the country.

As the head coach of the three armies, Luo Shixin considered the problem that he was considering was not comparable to what he considered as a general. As a general, he only had to consider the current victory, and the head coach had to look further and consider the overall situation. The unstable hearts of the people in Liaodong are definitely a hidden danger that cannot be ignored. If this hidden danger is not solved, it would be difficult for him to continue the Western Expedition with confidence.

Liu Rengui happened to notice Luo Shixin's thoughts, and the governance of Liaodong was mainly to appease the people's hearts.

First, all the soldiers who died in Liaodong were buried, regardless of their enemy. Needless to say, our soldiers would send their comrades to the road in a ceremony of Rongzhong. Most of the soldiers in Goguryeo were born in Liaodong and buried them happily. Especially for Yuan Binzhi's funeral, they should be treated solemnly. Yuan Binzhi was guarding Liaodong for more than 40 years, and was upright and managed Liaodong in an orderly manner. He was loved by the people of Liaodong and could also give some psychological comfort to the people in the country.

Secondly, the reason for the war between Goguryeo and Goguryeo was promoted in detail, and the situation was clearly shown that Goguryeo took the lead in becoming an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, not the war initiated by the Tang Dynasty, which pushed the evil caused by the war to the Goguryeo side. It happened that Goguryeo's Yongaisuwen had a coup, and it was just right to give the blame to him.

Then, food was distributed to help poor families so that people in the country could have a bite of food.

Finally, it shows that Liaodong is originally the territory of the Central Plains, and all the people in the territory are Chinese people. They re-register their household registration, set up officials in the government office, open up roads, build villages, repair dams and dams, encourage agricultural production, and build land temples for them.

Luo Shixin said in confusion: "I have no objection to what you said. Yuan Binzhi is indeed a character and is indeed worthy of this kind of treatment. There is no problem with public opinion. Since we have attacked Liaodong, we have the obligation to be responsible for their food and clothing. After all, most of them are native people in this place. We attacked Liaodong City and obtained 500,000 stones of food and grass, which is enough to afford it. However, these policies cannot be completed in a short period of time. We don't have so much time to deal with this thing."

Liu Rengui nodded and said, "Liaodong has been in decline for a long time, and it will not be able to change it in a short while. What we need to do now is face-saving work, and policies and systems cannot be implemented in a short while, but we must do it in one go. As long as we can rest assured and not cause trouble for us when we attack, it is our current need. How to manage Liaodong, His Majesty must send appropriate people."

Luo Shixin said: "I will write a letter to His Majesty to let him know the situation here and send a capable person over."

Luo Shixin conquered Liaodong and regained the Chinese territory that had been lost for more than two hundred years and blew to Chang'an like the wind. As the Tang Dynasty's western army defeated the main force of Tuyuhun in Qinghai Lake, two vigorous victories pushed the power of the rising dynasty of the Tang Dynasty to its peak.

The provocation faced by the Tang Dynasty this time is the biggest challenge to the world since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This challenge is also an opportunity. Is the Tang Dynasty strong enough and is there a right to truly sit in the position of Tian Khan? All the eyes around me are looking at it.

In this double-front battle, the Tang Dynasty was able to achieve such brilliant results, and its strength was beyond doubt here.

"Happy, happy!"

Li Shimin flipped through the two battle reports that came from the front and back, and couldn't help but take them out when he was free. Thinking that the two troops under his command were defeating the enemy on the battlefield, he really felt the urge to be able to play in person.r1152
