Chapter 127 The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo

"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a powerful country called Goguryeo rose, and its sphere of influence was probably in Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, which seriously threatened the security of the Central Plains. Goguryeo cannot be regarded as a complete civilization in the Goryeo District. Its origins should be the Munge and Fuyu tribes of Liaodong. Later, it became the capital of Pyongyang and gradually assimilated by the local area. Therefore, in "Lord", Goguryeo was barely divided into civilization in the Goryeo District."

"It's not the first time that Goryeo Bangzi has recognized his ancestors. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a descendant of Yan State, led more than a thousand subordinates to the Korean Peninsula and established the first recorded country in the area. The ancestors of Goryeo included the Central Plains, the Fuyu people, and the Sanhan people. Due to the lack of records, they did not know who their ancestors were, so they would understand them."

"After the rise of Goguryeo, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui felt threatened and failed to conquer Goguryeo three or four consecutive times. A large number of Sui troops were captured by Goguryeo and became slaves. Later, the Tang Dynasty repeatedly attacked Goguryeo, and finally destroyed Goguryeo and rescued some of the captured Sui troops."

"The Battle of Anshicheng was a battle of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo."

"This time we helped the Tang army. The commander of the Tang army was not someone else, but Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin."

The old Qin of the Ranran knows a lot about the Battle of Anshicheng.

The lords and guild presidents here were somewhat shocked when they heard this name.

Emperor Qin and Emperor Han and Emperor Tang and Emperor Song!

This time, the person who commanded the battle in Anshicheng was Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin!

"In the 18th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed Li Shiji as the chief marching commander of Liaodong Road, and led 60,000 troops and the surrendered Hu people in Lan and He prefectures to march towards Liaodong. Emperor Taizong of Tang led the army to fight in person and successively recovered Liaodong and Baiyan City, and was eventually blocked from Anshicheng. The defenders of Anshicheng resisted desperately. In addition, it was September, and the cold winter was approaching and the food was about to end, so Li Shimin ordered a squad."

"Afterwards, Li Shimin expressed regret and continued to send troops to harass Goguryeo and destroy its economy. In the end, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, he successfully destroyed Goguryeo."

"Originally, the Tang Dynasty had the advantage and was taking the initiative, but a folk saying spread in Goryeo: In the Battle of Anshicheng, the city lord Yang Wanchun blinded Li Shimin's eyes with an arrow, making Li Shimin a one-eyed dragon. Li Shimin hurriedly retreated. Therefore, many anti-Tang dramas appeared."

The old Qin continued to explain the background.

Chu Tian also knew that Goryeo Bangzi believed that Li Shimin was shot blind in the battle of Anshicheng, but in fact it was nonsense.

There is no such record in domestic history books, and Goryeo Bangzi actually considered it true. With the identity of Emperor Li Shimin at that time, and Li Shimin was over the prime of his life, he would not personally participate in the siege of the city, and his generals would not allow him to do so.

This is also one of the reasons why Chu Tian participated in the Battle of Anshicheng.

Let Bangzi know what the real battle in Anshicheng is.

Mingguan raised his hand: "In "Lord", it shouldn't be a nonsense saying that Li Shimin was shot blind, right?"

Ranran Lao Qin nodded: "Our Eastern Han area is more influential and it is impossible to adopt this statement. But the Tang army did not recapture Anshicheng at that time. The winning conditions for our battle in Anshicheng were very likely to be to assist the Tang army in conquering Anshicheng, and the winning conditions for Goryeo might be to try to defend Anshicheng. Anshicheng was originally our territory, so we must recover it."

Now all the lords have already understood the goal of the Battle of Anshicheng.

In short, this was a siege battle, assisting the Tang army in capturing Anshi City within three months.

A map of the Battle of Anshicheng is spread out, which is a map drawn by players familiar with ancient history.

"First of all, the Tang army's military strength is the Tang army. The Tang army in Liaodong has about 60,000 people, and after ten times, it will be 600,000 people. The Tang army besieged Anshicheng has about 40,000 people, and after ten times, it will be 400,000 people."

"The commanders of the Tang army were Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, Duke of England, Li Shiji, and King of Jiangxia Li Daozong, Changsun Wuji, Xue Rengui, Qi Bi Heli, and Ashinaheer..."

Chu Tian showed an incredible expression when he heard the list of senior officials of the Tang army.

This lineup is simply a luxury, and it is even more exaggerated than the current lineup of generals in Xiacheng. What’s more important is that 400,000 soldiers and horses of the prosperous Tang Dynasty besieged Anshicheng!

Theoretically, except for Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, all lords may recruit the above-mentioned generals.

"I boldly speculate that this time, I will get one of the characteristics of Li Shimin."

The speculation of the lords once again made the lords excited.

I don’t know how exaggerated a characteristic of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin.

Lao Qin looked at Chu Tian: "Farming, in the last epic battle, you should have obtained the characteristics of Lu Zhi or Huangfu Song. I'm right?"

Chu Tian cannot deny it.

He also later learned that one of the rewards for each epic battle is a characteristic of his own camp commander.

This time the commander of the camp was not someone else, but Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.

As the emperor, Li Shimin's characteristics are probably jealous of countless people.

Li Shimin may have several characteristics, and it is better to get one randomly.

"How powerful is Goguryeo's military power?"

After knowing the strength of the Tang army, the lord of Yizhou Liu An asked about Goguryeo's military strength. After all, few people knew about the Battle of Anshicheng.

"The number of defenders in Anshicheng is unknown. The city lord of Anshicheng is a very talented person. Emperor Taizong of Tang praised his perseverance and loyalty and gave him a hundred pieces of silk to the city lord of Anshi. His name has not been recorded in history, but it is very likely that he would be named Yang Wanchun, who should be a defensive general of the archery and military system."

"The Goguryeo reinforcements were the northern tribe chief Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led by Goguryeo, the 150,000 mita soldiers. Ten times more than one million.

"It looks a bit scary, but compared with the Tang army, they are just a mob."

"The most difficult thing is not the Goguryeo reinforcements, but the Anshicheng that is defending, and the urgent time. Within three months, it is necessary to defeat the reinforcements and capture Anshicheng at the same time. In history, Li Shimin defeated the reinforcements, but ultimately lost to the upcoming cold winter."

"The lords of Goryeo will definitely try to maintain the direction of history and fully assist the lords of Anshicheng to defend Anshicheng. They are at an advantage because they only need to defend for three months. After three months, they will declare victory."

Everyone fell into a brief silence.

They must fight wits and courage with the Goryeo lord to change the outcome of the Battle of Anshicheng.

"The battlefield may be very large, and it is impossible for us to act together with all the lords and guilds. Therefore, it is divided into ten legions, and the top ten lords command a legion, each legion includes ten lords and ten guilds, with a total of 25,000 people."

“Next to divide.”

Lao Qin had obviously planned the arrangements for the Battle of Anshicheng, and Chu Tian and his group were convinced of his arrangements.

Chu Tian got a list in his hand, and his Second Legion had ten lords and ten guilds under his command. After Chu Tian's request, Prince Yan, the lord of the western Liaoning, and Xue Yue from the Langya Kingdom Wolf Tour Guild joined him.
