Gao Shilian had high attainments in political governance, but his military strategy was very mediocre. On the way here, Li Shimin told him that Luo Shixin lacked military strength, so he specially transferred the Tiel cavalry who had joined the Tang Dynasty to Luo Shixin for help.

Regarding Li Shimin's military strategy, Gao Shi was honest and believed in the gods and hurriedly said, "Why is this the Grand Manager?"

Luo Shixin smiled and answered his doubts: "This is a way to play with few soldiers and few soldiers, and a way to play with more soldiers. I have arranged it. If Goguryeo knows that we have reinforcements, it would be a big mistake, and it would ruin my original plan. We can afford to consume it now, but Silla cannot afford to consume it."

"But, too many soldiers are an advantage after all! You can't just let reinforcements stay..." Gao Shilian came here to assist Luo Shixin, not to pull him back, nor did he interfere with any of Luo Shixin's decisions in military terms, but just expressed his own opinions and suggestions.

"What you said makes sense!" Luo Shixin has always been good at turning other people's wisdom into his own. While keeping himself subjective in listening to suggestions, he does not reject other people's objections. Instead, he will analyze their proposals, neither blindly believe in himself nor blindly trust others and deny himself. He nodded and said, "It is really not cost-effective to have a soldier. I have to think of a way. God unconsciously transfers the Tieler cavalry to prevent Goguryeo from discovering it."

Luo Shixin thought about it.

"Why not walk on the water?" Xue Rengui suddenly said something.

Luo Shixin's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers happily and said, "Good idea, our transport ship is empty. It is also a good choice to use it to transport troops."

Luo Shixin immediately gave Xue Rengui a thumbs up and said, "Good example. Remember your merit!"

Xue Rengui smiled and recently he discussed this matter with Luo Shixin. Their land army should have captured Gaimu and Liaodong and seized enough food and grass for the military. The navy also obtained a certain amount of supplies to attack Xiabeisha City, and in the short term, there was no need for water, food and grass support.

Logistics is an indispensable key to marching and fighting. Luo Shixin had the intention of guiding Xue Rengui's strategy and explained their current logistics situation to him. When he talked about the transportation of water and food, he had such an idea with a sudden inspiration.

"And. I almost forgot!" Luo Shixin suddenly remembered something and said, "After our army captured Baiyan City, you will arrange to accept the people of Baiyan City. I will destroy the entire city of Baiyan City and force everything in the city to Liaodong."

Gao Shilian was stunned for a while and said, "Is this afraid of arousing public anger? Force the people to leave their hometowns and destroy their homes, which will not stand firm in the hearts of the people."

"There's no way!" Luo Shixin said: "I can't arrange soldiers to guard and manage a city after I capture it. How can I have so many people? Baiyan City has a good strategic position, but it is not suitable for the survival of the people. There are not many people in the city. Move them to Liaodong to enrich the population of Liaodong. It's good for Liaodong. Destroying their strategic location will outweigh the disadvantages. As for how to settle them, it depends on yours."

Gao Shilian held his forehead with one hand, but said with certainty: "The chief executive made a decision, so let's do it."

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "All luck has you been suffering."

The next morning, Luo Shixin ordered his troops and officially advanced towards Goguryeo's heart.

Walking eastward, when he was about to arrive in Baiyan City, he received the latest news from Li Daozong, and more than 10,000 defenders in Wugu City were rushing to rescue Baiyan City.

Luo Shixin immediately ordered not to advance towards Baiyan City, but to head straight for reinforcements from Wugu City.

When the reinforcements in Wugucheng learned that the Tang army was coming, they dared not continue to support them, so they turned around and withdrew back to Wugucheng.

Luo Shixin forced the Goguryeo reinforcements to retreat, and then turned around and joined the ranks of besieging Baiyan City. The army surrounded Baiyan City and threw cars and sieged the city. Then he flew stones and waves, and the rain gathered in the city. With the excellent siege equipment, Baiyan City was still full of holes. With the opportunity that the defending soldiers did not recover, they rushed forward and captured Baiyan City.

After counting the casualties between the enemy and us and the military supplies in the city, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "They have learned their lesson!"

Baiyan City is the gateway before Goguryeo acquired Liaodong and is also a strategic location. According to Goguryeo's good guardian nature, there are definitely not a small number of military supplies they reserved in the city. However, now that they have taken Baiyan City, the various materials collected in the city are very small, which is not enough for their army to get stuck in the teeth. Obviously, they suffered a great loss in Liaodong. They originally planned to prepare for the food and grass for their army, but gave them to the Tang army for free and transferred all the strategic materials they reserved in the city.

"Now they are shocked to realize whether it will be too late!" Liu Rengui said with a little humorous look.

"Indeed! It may not be too late to make up for the sheep." Luo Shixin no longer cared about this result. Goguryeo attached great importance to Liaodong City and prepared food and grass for two years in Liaodong City. Even if he was besieged by the enemy Liaodong for two years, it would be enough for the food and drink of the military and civilians in the city. However, in less than a month after Liaodong City, all the food and grass in the city belonged to them, and there was no need to worry about food and grass for a few months. These few months were enough for him to conquer Goguryeo.

"A person came to inform the whole city to move all the hundred letters to Liaodong, and those who were unwilling to leave were forced to move away." Luo Shixin moved forward and moved away from the people of Baiyan City according to the strategic policy they planned in Liaodong, and spent a day burning Baiyan City.

"Let's go, we'll enter Anshicheng!"

Luo Shixin led a soldier of more than 40,000 troops to kill Anshi City in a mighty manner.

Anshicheng.

"City Lord, the Tang army destroyed Baiyan City and was coming here! Their number is estimated to be between 40,000 and 50,000. The marching speed is very fast. In less than ten days, we can fight in Anshi City." The scout told the city lord Yang Wanchun of the city that he found.

Yang Wanchunnian is about forty years old, tall and thin, with a frustrated face. She is not astonishing and has a rustic feeling, but her eyes are deep and unpredictable, giving people a very unsimple feeling.

"Does Baiyan City be destroyed?" Yang Wanchun whispered to himself.

"My father's judgment is indeed correct. The flaws of the Tang army have been revealed." The person who spoke was a fair and heroic young man named Yang Zhuo. He looked like his mother's family. He was a bit handsome. He spoke with a light tone and admired his father. From the moment the Tang Dynasty invaded Goguryeo, Yang Wanchun talked about the drawbacks of this Tang army conquest. The most important thing was the lack of military strength. Li Tang learned from the experience of the Sui Dynasty's defeat, took the elite military route, and was inevitably more cautious in his actions, but because of this, some aspects would inevitably be overcorrected.

As expected, everything was as his father expected. The Tang army was in full swing. He won step by step, and although his morale was like a rainbow, his disadvantages were revealed. As long as someone gave the Tang Dynasty a head-on blow in this situation, the Tang army would be defeated.

Yang Wanchunjiao escaped a mysterious smile and said lightly: "I'm so brave. I'm the name of Huo Cavalry in this life. It's true that you are famous. Go and tell Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen and others, let them retreat thirty miles, and you won't be allowed to advance without my order."

"Father. Why is this?" Yang Zhuo exclaimed. The Tang army had only 50,000 troops. Although they had won consecutive battles and had high morale. However, their long-term battle formations and unacceptable conditions, their strength would inevitably be weaker than the initial one. And they had 18,000 soldiers in Anshi City, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were ordered by Yuan Gai Suwen to lead 100,000 troops to cooperate with Anshi City to resist the Tang army. They had nearly 120,000 troops, which was far superior to the Tang army in terms of number. Faced with such an advantage, it was really difficult to understand.

Yang Wanchun shook his head and said, "You are too young. I don't understand the reason. Luo Shixin is a man who is brave and fierce, but he is not a barbarian, and has great wisdom. From his attack on Liaodong, we can see that the tactical and strategic use is like fire and pure, and can be called a famous general of a generation. Such a person has his special meaning. In your opinion, they burned Baiyan City because of insufficient troops and were not enough to divide the troops to defend. In the eyes of my father, they revealed their shortcomings, letting us know that our troops are not enough, and tempting us to go out of the city to fight."

"How is this possible?" Yang Zhuo said in disbelief: "How dare our 50,000-dirty expeditionary force provokes us for a fight?"

Yang Wanchun said cautiously: "Why don't you dare? I am the most powerful country in the East of the White Sea in Goguryeo, with more than 200,000 soldiers in armor. In the past, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui 300,000 and Yang Guang went to the expedition of my Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty came to our country to conquer the city and seize Liaodong in one breath. Why don't you dare? Never underestimate the people of the Central Plains. I am Goguryeo with today's prosperity and rely on the Central Plains culture. You have never been to the Central Plains and do not understand the situation of the Central Plains. The 8,000 Xiang family soldiers of the Western Chu king Xiang Yu crossed Jiangdong and spread the world. In the battle of Julu, the army composed of tens of thousands of people defeated the Qin Dynasty's army that guarded the Great Wall, and forced twenty surrenders.

Wan Zhang Han Qin Army. In the battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 cavalrymen broke through 560,000 Liu Bang's lords. In addition, Huo Qubing, the Han cavalry general, went deep into the grassland to pursue the main force of the Huns, traveling thousands of miles, and annihilated more than 70,000 enemies. Luo Shixin is as famous as these two, and is not an idle person who is afraid of war. Fighting against them head-on, our army is numerous, but not united. Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are not sincerely convinced me, and the coalition forces are restrained and have no chance of winning. Luo Shixin must have seen this. Instead of following the opponent's strategic use, it is better to let them retreat, so that the Tang army cannot retreat, and they can only choose to attack my Anshicheng."

Yang Zhuo always believed in his father, but did not say much, "Since his father asked him to make a decision, the child was willing to accompany his father to protect Anshi and live and die with Anshi City."

"Haha!" Yang Wanchun laughed and said, "The courage is commendable, but it is not that serious. Anshi City is not a strong city that never falls, but it is not easy for Luo Shixin to attack me. The real weakness of the Tang army is not that there are few soldiers, but that it cannot afford it. Especially in the current situation, Baekje and Yamato are besieging Silla. Once Silla breaks Baekje Yamato, he will face the Three Kingdoms alliance. The Tang Dynasty wants to capture Goguryeo, which is a delusional idea.

. Luo Shixin can win because he can play steadily. As long as we force him to get it, he will not win." (A good activity with pie falling from the sky, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
