Zhang Zhongjian came to the map, took the brush from Luo Shixin, looked carefully for a while, and sighed that the map was accurate, and based on his feelings, he marked many points in the southwest of Baekje, and turned to Luo Shixin and said: "It is probably this place, which scattered around seventy-two islands. It is said that there are only more than thirty islands that are actually living in, and the others are not suitable for living."
Luo Shixin looked at the place drawn by Zhang Zhongjian, and his expression gradually became serious and solemn. His fingers stroked up the island drawn by Zhang Zhongjian, and where he pointed to the Beisha City captured by their Tang Dynasty naval army.
Beisha City, also known as Bishe City, is the political and military center of Goguryeo during the Dalian period. It is located in the Dahei Mountains, on the two southern peaks and adjacent ridges, at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, one side is surrounded by the mountains and the other side is surrounded by the sea. To the east of Beisha City is Yalushui, and after passing Yalushui, it is Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
When Luo Shixin was besieging Liaodong, he ordered Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Mingzhen's naval army to attack Beisha City. This move was of decisive significance in the battle to attack Goguryeo and was a move to turn the world around.
After conquering Anshi and approaching Pyongyang, Beisha City once again reflected the meaning of his existence.
Luo Shixin's naval army joined forces, and with the support of Qie Heli, the troops exceeded 100,000. The daily food and drink dispatch of these 100,000 troops was astronomical, and the logistics problems were extremely serious. Although Luo Shixin captured Gaimu, Liaodong, and Anshi City, and Qie Heli swept Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's camps and seized the supplies of their 100,000 troops, and there was no need to worry about logistics issues for a certain period of time. However, the 100,000 troops could not bring all the food when they marched. It was not only dangerous, but also affected the flexible mobilization of the army. The food and grass collected were all stored in Beisha City.
Every once in a while, the grain transport team in Beisha City will transport the grain to the Pyongyang front.
The solid and safe distance from the Pyongyang front line is one point, and it is also crucial. The water and land transportation of Beisha City is convenient, and the follow-up materials needed by the army can be transported from Chang'an Li Shimin or Gao Shilian from Liaodong to Beisha City from water and land, without having to climb mountains and wade waters, wasting labor and material resources. It is a rare strategic location.
As a gangster, Zhang Zhongjian was not very proficient in military affairs. However, he had been walking with Li Jing in the past and learned some basic and simple tactics: in the past, he used these little tactics to use the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the locality to defeat the pirates pretending to be Kyushu Daming. His real strategic vision was not enough, nor did he see that Yamato's country's significance was so 72 islands in the east of the sea. Luo Shixin was different. Their Tang army was unstoppable and directly attacked the city of Pyongyang. Although Yamato was not affected much at the moment, once Goguryeo was destroyed, they would inevitably be attacked by the Tang army. They were different from Baekje. Baekje had a certain foundation in Haidong. Although they captured most of the Silla territory and established a foothold in Haidong, they did not truly surrender. Once they were attacked by the Tang Dynasty, they would be wasted all their efforts.
The situation has reached this point, and Yamato has no reason to do something futile. They attach so much importance to the seventy-two islands in the east of the sea, so they must have something else to ask for.
Sure enough, the location of the seventy-two islands in the east of Haidong is just opposite Beisha City, which can become a bridgehead for the surprise attack Beisha City.
Looking at Luo Shixin's gesture, Zhang Zhongjian also saw the reason and asked: "Is Yamato planning to use the seventy-two islands in Haidong to attack Beisha City?"
"Ten!" Luo Shixin nodded and said, "Senior, maybe I don't know that most of our army's food, grass and supplies are stored in this Beisha City. Their value is equivalent to that of Wuchao during the Battle of Yuan and Cao in Guandu..." He shook his hands heavily, and looked at the map and said, "I understand, I understand why Japan has never fought Silla. It's a good teammate who sells birds with one stone. I don't know if I want to eat our Tang Dynasty, and even Goguryeo, he wants to eat it in one bite. He has a big appetite, but he has a big appetite!"
Zhang Zhongjian couldn't understand what he said later, but he still heard about the Battle of Guandu and said, "That's really amazing." As a native of the Central Plains, Zhang Zhongjian was unwilling to see his mother country suffer a great defeat even if he crossed the sea to escape. The situation of the Battle of Guandu is well known. In the Battle of Yuan and Cao, Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao with his decisive force. Even though Cao Cao had many capable ministers and generals, he achieved certain results in the small situation, but the overall situation was still passive. The talented and powerful Cao Cao was forced into a desperate situation and could not resist, and even had the intention to retreat. However, with a surprise attack on Wuchao, the situation of the Battle of Guandu immediately reversed.
If this Beisha City is lost, wouldn’t it follow Yuan Shao’s footsteps?
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjian was a little nervous, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Senior, don't care. I, Luo Shixin, is not Yuan Shao, and will not follow in his footsteps. Even if their idea of attacking Beisha City succeeds, they may not be able to take Beisha City. Besides, this matter has already made me notice..."
If Beisha City is lost, Luo Shixin and the 100,000 troops in his hands will indeed be completely in trouble. It is precisely because he knows the importance of Beisha City that Luo Shixin has been on guard and arranged for the general Cheng Mingzhen to guard Beisha City to ensure that the rear is safe.
Cheng Mingzhen's contemporary famous general is not comparable to Chunyu Qiong, a drunken and mediocre talent under Yuan Shao. Even if he encounters a surprise attack, Japan may not be able to get benefits from him.
Of course, even if Luo Shixin believes that Cheng Mingzhen has that strength, he is unwilling to take this unnecessary risk since he knows this.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Shixin said, "Senior, do you want me to send troops to help?"
Zhang Zhongjian nodded and said, "Well, although our Seventy-Two Islands do not have strong strength, they also have three thousand warriors who are familiar with the terrain and are proficient in water. Last time, they made me get a bargain because of insufficient troops. This time they will definitely increase their troops and they understand our strength. As long as they can get the support of the Grand Chief Executive, it will be easy to swallow 10,000 or 20,000 of their troops with the complex terrain of the Seventy-Two Islands."
Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "It's only 10,000 or 20,000, it's not worth the efforts of my Tang Dynasty naval army."
Zhang Zhongjian's face froze slightly.
Pei Qingyi shouted anxiously and angry: "Do you want to see everyone on and off the Seventy-Two Islands suffer tragic attacks? Luo Shixin, you are too ruthless."
Luo Shixin scratched his head and said, "To be honest, this is really not worth it. My 100,000 army will leave some of my army to besiege Pyongyang, and the rest will go south to fight against Yamato and Baekje. The troops will be divided into two groups. For more than 10,000 Yamato naval troops, the labor army mobilized the navy to go to the 72 islands. It would be better to throw 5,000 soldiers into the guards of Zeng Qiang Beisha City and hang them. There is no need to mobilize the troops."
Pei Qingyi felt very wronged for some reason, and her eyes turned red. She pulled Zhang Zhongjian and said, "Master, let's go, ignore him. At worst, you will die on the island. Eighteen years later, you will be a hero again." He said that, and planned to pull Zhang Zhongjian.
Luo Shixin suddenly felt a headache and hurriedly said, "Listen to me, listen to me finish what I said. Senior told me this news, so I have to prepare in advance. I have to repay this great kindness. Luo Shixin can't do anything to kill the donkey. Besides, what is our relationship? It's from life and death. How can I not help you?" His last sentence was naturally said to Pei Qingyi.
Pei Qingyi blushed a little and muttered, "Then you still shirk your power."
"To be honest, I didn't say I didn't help, but I just wanted to think about how to help, how to minimize the casualties between you and our army, how to make use of this matter and maximize the benefits. To put it bluntly, the seniors may not have any right martial arts in the world, and there are few opponents in the world. However, using troops is not their strength. The idea of asking our army to directly support is really not very good." Luo Shixin looked at Zhang Zhongjian, and Pei Qingyi said, "You can wait for me overnight, let me discuss with my advisers, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Shira, Haidong, Xiyuan, Shangzhou.
Sangzhou Nishihara Kyo was originally the territory of Silla, but with the alliance of Goguryeo, Baekje and Yamato, Silla could not resist at all, and the land they owned was almost eroded by Goguryeo, Baekje and Yamato.
If Luo Shixin had not advanced quickly, Goguryeo had to withdraw his troops. The land they occupied by Silla would have been in danger of destruction now.
It’s not that Silla is vulnerable, but that its strength is really disparate.
Goguryeo, the most powerful country in Haidong, is already enough to get Silla, not to mention that there is Yamato, which is not inferior to Goguryeo. Baekje, the messenger attacks on all three sides, and Silla has no way to resist.
According to the results of the negotiations between the three countries, Silla was divided into three, Baekje divided into Kangzhou, Yamato divided into Liangzhou, Shangzhou, and Goguryeo divided into Mingzhou.
The three countries were very satisfied with this method of fining. Baekje was the weakest and it was a pity to divide the land into one state. Yamato intended to gain a foothold in the three countries of Haidong and obtained the most land in the two states, but there was no objection. Although Goguryeo only divided the one state, Mingzhou was the richest in the Silla states and was still located in the lower reaches of the key Han River Basin. It has extraordinary significance for Goguryeo, and they were also very satisfied with it.
As the war progressed, Baekje also captured Kangzhou and Yamato, and Silla also captured Liangzhou and Shangzhou. Silla had to retreat to Mingzhou. Originally, Goguryeo had already obtained part of the land in Mingzhou, but the Tang army was so fierce that they had to give up all the land they had obtained and fight against the Tang Dynasty with all their efforts. Silla took the opportunity to retake Mingzhou and defend Gongdi to the death.
Faced with the territory belonging to Goguryeo, the commander of Yamato and the commander of Baekje chose to rest and deterrent. The troops of the two countries never entered Mingzhou.
Faced with this situation, Goguryeo, who was desperate, had to send envoys to Nishihara Kyo, one of the most important cities in Silla, and now it has become the military command of Yamato.r1152
