Chapter 51 The Real Enemy

Yuangassuwen Mansion!

The bad news came one by one, just like slaps on the face of Yoon Gaisuwen. He was full of ambition and ambition. Since he was a child, he had thought of leading Goguryeo to glory like his grandfather Wanziyou and developing Goguryeo into a dynasty like the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. For this reason, he promoted the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Yamato, and fought against Silla and the Tang Dynasty together.

From the beginning of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the ancestors of Goguryeo had seen through one thing: the three kingdoms of Haidong are located in a corner and have no development potential or prospects. If Goguryeo is truly prosperous and strong, the only opportunity is to expand westward. Because of this, they seized Liaodong and planned to use Liaodong as a stronghold to capture Youzhou and enter the Central Plains.

However, it has never been successful. The unique xenophobic plots in the Central Plains cannot be easily broken. For thousands of years, only the Yuan and Qing dynasties were able to break this plot. They all achieved this with inhumane killings.

With the rise of the Tang Dynasty, Baekje broke off diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and Silla became the only vassal state of the Three Kingdoms of Haidong that was blessed by the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo itself was in a dilemma and was unable to develop.

Going westward to become enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and invading Youzhou is undoubtedly a way to hit stones with eggs; being enemies of Silla and regaining the Han River Basin: This Silla is not weak in strength and is protected by the Tang Dynasty, so it is still not a wise decision; being enemies of Baekje, Baekje is indeed not strong, but he recognized a good father. Yamato and Baekje are jointly sanctioned by the Tang Dynasty, just like drowning brothers, who are closely connected. Invading Baekje is equivalent to being enemies of Baekje. Yamato and the two countries are enemies of the two countries with the power of one country, and Goguryeo does not have an advantage.

Yuan Gaisuwen was very young. As a young man, his biggest advantage was his full courage and ambition. His biggest disadvantage was his full courage and ambition. He always wanted to do something big that far surpassed his predecessors, and was too ambitious and not persistent enough. Under the instigation of Otsuji Houwu, he intended to unite Baekje, Yamato and Tuyuhun, who was far away in the sky, and block the Tang Dynasty, gather the power of the four countries, and defeat the Tang Dynasty at its peak.

Yuan Gaisu Wenman thought that this move could bring Goguryeo out of the dilemma, but found that the situation was far less beautiful than they expected. Faced with the four countries' moves at the same time, the Tang Dynasty gave them unexpected sharp counterattacks, directly pulled up two fronts to fight, and gave them the provocateurs the fastest and most direct way to the fastest and most direct way.

They were unpredictable to the reaction of the Tang Dynasty. But they were not worried much. Instead, they felt that the Tang Dynasty took a step and would accelerate their demise. The Tang Dynasty had a great family and had a good economic situation as long as they understood it. The Tang army, which was in trouble, could not withstand long-term combat, and it was even more difficult to support the two-line battle... As long as they could hold the Tang Dynasty, just like they dragged the Sui Dynasty back then, it would take less than a year or two, the Tang army would enter the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty.

However, the situation was beyond their expectations again. The two Tang troops, led by Li Jing, broke into Tuyuhun's heart and killed Tuyuhun without any power to fight back. Luo Shixin also took steps to eat their city one by one, annihilated their army, and killed directly to their capital Pyongyang. Not to mention dragging the Tang Dynasty for a year, they did not support them even for half a year.

Thinking of the Tang Dynasty where troops were approaching the city, Yuan Gaisuwen was now one and two big.

As a man with five knives, Yoon Gaisuwen is under great pressure at present. He has not had a good sleep since Luo Shixin demolished Jingguan.

"Mr. Yizhi, the Tang army is at the city with troops. How should we deal with the current situation?" Yuan Gaisuwen had already noticed that the people of Pyongyang were afraid. Most of the civil and military officials and generals were self-disturbed when facing the Tang army that was so strong. Only a few people could discuss with him. Yizhi Houwu was undoubtedly the one who valued the most.

The Yezhi Hou Wu pursed his pale lips. Thinking of the current situation, he felt a little regretful in his heart: he had one force to promote the four-nation alliance to fight against the Tang Dynasty, just as Yuan Gai Suwen suspected. He wanted to avenge his father and brother who died tragically at the hands of Luo Shixin. At the same time, he understood the overall situation. Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was an emperor who worked hard to govern the great power. The Tang Dynasty would never be as flashy as the Sui Dynasty. At least during the Zhenguan period under Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty would only become stronger and stronger. Li Shimin has only more than thirty times now, if he didn't have any intentions.

In addition, it has a lifespan of more than 20 years. With the rise of the Tang Dynasty, it has been more than 20 years since its development, even if it takes fifty years, Goguryeo cannot catch up. The gap between them will only grow bigger and bigger. If you say that you will win the Tang Dynasty now, the chance of avenging your father will be 40% of the chance of avenging your father in ten years will be only 21% in ten years. The longer the time will be delayed, the less slim. Only when the Tang Dynasty faces the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there is a possibility of revenge. He knew that the chance of revenge was less than half, but he had the intention of gambling. Today, the winning or losing is obvious.

Seeing his country destruction due to his own selfishness, Oji Houwu was not very calm. Seeing Yuan Gaisuwen asking for advice, he calmed down and said, "For the current plan, we can only defend Pyongyang and all the way. At the same time, we have to send messages to Yamato and Baekje to withdraw from the demand for Silla. Whoever obtains the Han River Basin first will own the Han River Basin for whom."

"How can this work?" Yuan Gai Suwen exclaimed, with dissatisfaction on his face, then was stunned, but nodded helplessly, and said, "I have to do this."

Under the city of Pyongyang, the Tang army camp.

In the dark night, a huge camp built by 100,000 Tang troops flashed from time to time in the dark night, peeking at Pyongyang City like a giant beast.

Luo Shixin led Xue Rengui to look at the calm Pyongyang, pondered for a long time, and asked, "How long does it take if I force myself to attack Pyongyang?"

Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "It's hard to say that Pyongyang is more majestic than Liaodong. Although there are only 50,000 soldiers in the city, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city. And they are all real Goguryeo people. Why do they protect their homes? At the critical moment, they are still invincible. In the planning of the Grand General Manager, our army took 20 days. If we attack Pyongyang for at least three times."

"Three times, sixty days!" Luo Shixin thought in a low voice and nodded silently. This value was indeed similar to Xue Rengui's calculations, and the value was only much higher. Goguryeo learned his lesson this time, and was worried that Luo Shixin would use the tactic of encircling Liaodong again. From the beginning, he used the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to give up all the surrounding cities, defending only Goguryeo, and gathering all the forces in Pyongyang. This also means that Pyongyang fell and Goguryeo died. The same Pyongyang offensive and defensive battle would become a decisive battle that determines whether the country was destroyed. Faced with such a decisive battle, Goguryeo's patriotic patriots would fight to the death, and they would also encounter great resistance when siegeing the city.

Since ancient times, siege battles have been a battle that has used life to win, and therefore the siege is the following.

Once the offensive and defensive battle in Pyongyang begins, it is impossible to stop before the outcome is decided. This is also the reason why Luo Shixin has not issued an order to attack the city: unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to trap the 100,000 troops under the city of Pyongyang.

"Go and invite General Manager Li, General Manager Su, General Manager Liu!" Luo Shixin thought about it again and again, and asked Xue Rengui to invite Li Daozong, Su Dingfang, and Liu Rengui, and asked someone to prepare a mat for sitting.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the same time. Seeing that the three of them were not sleepy at all, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "You guys didn't sleep either?"

Li Daozong looked at Pyongyang and said, "I have come to this point, so why can I sleep? I am thinking about how to fight..."

"I came to you because of this. We will make up for it. Don't worry about any etiquette. Just talk as friends and talk casually." Luo Shixin sat on the pre-prepared mat first.

Most of the people also knew Luo Shixin's personality and had no politeness, so they sat down one after another.

Luo Shixin said to everyone: "In the past few days, I have personally thought a lot about how to attack Pyongyang. Not long ago, I considered myself as Yoon Gassuwen and had a new idea. Suddenly I realized that Goguryeo no longer dared to send troops to fight us. What do you think?"

The people Luo Shixin called were all famous generals in modern times. They were both wise and brave, and they were the generals who could lead their troops alone. They had excellent strategic vision and foresight. Although Zhang Shigui and Mo Huer were of course considered generals, it was difficult to talk about strategy with them.

"Why?" Li Daozong said without reacting for a moment: "As far as I know, Yuan Gaisuwen has been brave and good at fighting since childhood. He has always kept his sword away. He has long swords on his left and right waists and three slashing swords on his back. In Goguryeo, he is called the general of the lack of swords. It is said that in a battle, he led the way and cut all the five swords on his body. Yuan Gaisuwen did not lack the courage to fight to the death..."

Liu Rengui: "Yun Gaisuwen does not lack the determination to fight to the end, but Goguryeo lacks the capital to fight to the end." There was a strange light in his eyes, and he obviously thought of it with Luo Shixin, and he smiled and said, "The situation around the three countries of Haidong is complex and changeable, Yamato, Baekje, and Silla have their own ulterior motives. I remember the Grand Chief once said, "There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests." Goguryeo, Yamato, and Baekje seem to be unbreakable, but when it comes to interests, it is immediately full of holes. Gao Ju

Li's main force has been exhausted. The more than 40,000 troops in Pyongyang City are the last force of their entire country. Goguryeo is no longer the most powerful country in Haidong, but the weakest country in Haidong. Even the alien races in the extreme north are stronger than them. But this weakest country has the treasure mountain of Taibai Mountain. Who can continue to see? Goguryeo's remaining troops at this moment even have certain problems in self-protection. Why should he fight with us? Even if he has a way to defeat us now, he has to consider the price he has paid and whether he can fight."

Li Daozong suddenly realized.

Su Dingfang's eyes lit up and said, "From the long-term calculation, Goguryeo cannot fight us. If you want to get out of trouble, you can only ask for help from Yamato and Baekje... Our enemies should be Yamato and Baekje, not Pyongyang." (To be continued)

ps: My thoughts suddenly ran out of place. I sorted out the plot and replied to the inspiration.
