Beisha Fortress is the southernmost city of Goguryeo in Liaodong.

After Qin Shandao took a few thousand cavalry from Liaodong City to the south, he successively broke through Anshi City and Jian'an City one after another, and then went all the way south to sweep the southern part of Liaodong.

As a top student of the Tang Royal Military Academy, Qin Shandao is different from ordinary veterans in his use of soldiers.

Although when Qin Shandao left Liaodong City, there were only a few thousand cavalry around him who were the elite of the Tang army.

However, he boldly asked Li Shimin for 5,000 Goguryeo prisoners.

After pulling out a few small cities along the way, Qin Shandao used these five thousand Goguryeo prisoners, and it became more and more convenient.

And these captives slowly accepted this state of affairs after experiencing the first attack on the city of "their own country".

There was no turning back from the bow, and they had already followed the Tang Dynasty to attack the city of Goguryeo, and these captives simply broke the jar and broke it, and followed the Tang Dynasty with all their hearts.

Even, in order to gain the trust and reuse of Qingshan Dao, these prisoners were even more brave than the Tang army when they attacked the city.

After entering the city, the people of Goguryeo who encountered resistance were much more ruthless than the Tang army.

The second devil, no matter what era it is, is so brutal.

So when Qin Shandao came to the outside of Beisha City, he already had an army of 20,000 around him.

The "servant army" formed by those Goguryeo captives not only did not become less and less like cannon fodder, but continued to grow in size.

"General Qin, the generals who took the lead in the rebellion in Beisha City have all been raided, and all their belongings have been moved to the barracks, waiting for your disposal."

When Qin Shandao's 20,000-strong army appeared in Beisha City, Qin Shandao found that he was no longer useful.

Although in this city, there was some resistance.

However, the city of Beisha has a total of several thousand defenders, and it has not been in battle for many years, so it has no combat effectiveness at all.

Under the attack of the servant army, it only took half a day for the city gate to be breached.

With Qin Shandao's acquiescence, although these servants did not kill in the city, they then had the opportunity to loot the property of all the soldiers who resisted.

By the way, some wealthy merchants in the city also became supporters of the resistance and their homes were raided.

"Take out half of it and give it to the soldiers, and transport the rest to Liaodong City!"

Qin Shandao didn't know how far the war was going in Goguryeo, but he was very confident in this expedition.

"Leave 3,000 people in Beisha City, and the others will follow me to continue to take all the nearby cities. His Royal Highness the King of Chu said at the beginning that Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Tang Dynasty, and it will no longer have anything to do with Goguryeo. ”

……

As the central city of the four major cities in the north of Goguryeo, Xuansu City has never encountered any war.

When Li Shimin led the army to rest in Baiyan City for a few days, the news that the coalition of more than 100,000 troops of Murowei and Yan Ya were defeated by the Tang Dynasty began to spread among the four northern cities.

So when the Tang army appeared in Gaimu City, they encountered almost no decent resistance and took this fortified city.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin continued to wave his army north, and took Xuansu City without much effort.

To take a city, it is necessary to arrange for a part of the Tang army to stay and garrison.

In order to avoid the dispersion of his forces, Li Shimin stayed in Xuansu City for a few days, preparing to renovate the city before attacking the new city in the north.

As a result, before Li Shimin could leave the city with the army, the city lord of the new city took the defenders and came all the way to Xuansu City to ask for surrender.

The defeat was like a mountain, and this time he went to Goguryeo, so that Li Shimin had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"Your Majesty, there is only the Mudi City next to it, as long as you take it, and then attack the domestic city to the east, there will be no decent city in Liaodong that is still in the hands of Goguryeo."

Niu Jinda was in a very good mood, and this time the situation went more smoothly than expected.

It's only July now, and the main battle has already been completed.

Especially through the flying pigeon, they already knew that Li Shimin had finished dealing with the affairs east of the Yalu River, and began to take the soldiers and horses to Liaodong City.

Of course, the soldiers and horses under the Pyongyang Provincial Marching Governor are mainly sailors, and most of these people are still busy on the Han River, the Taedong River, and the Yalu River.

Only when Li Shimin's class teacher returns to the dynasty will he follow back to Deng[www.biqugexx.biz] Prefecture.

Therefore, the people who really followed Li Kuan to Liaodong were only seven or eight thousand people.

However, the Black Bone City was taken unexpectedly, and Li Kuan went to Liaodong City, and there was no force that could threaten his safety.

"Cheng Chuliang, that kid Feige passed the book that he had marched to the domestic city, and I estimated that as long as he took the wooden bottom city, it would be fine."

Li Shimin still knows Cheng Chuliang's son-in-law well, and there is no doubt about whether he can win the domestic city.

"If that's the case, then you can consider the governance of Liaodong!"

After Niu Jinda said this, he couldn't help but think of Li Kuan in his heart.

The establishment of Liaodong Province was proposed by Li Kuan before the expedition.

But what exactly to do, how to make Liaodong Road not become a place that everyone does not want to go to like Lingnan Road, Li Kuan did not say in detail.

Of course, to be precise, no one was in the mood to listen to Li Kuan's "ethereal" assumptions at that time.

Goguryeo is also a powerful country in the world, how can it be so easy to conquer?

"Well, I'm already thinking about the official arrangements of Liaodong Province, but it's still not so simple to build Liaodong Province into prosperity and strength, I want to hear what Kuan'er thinks about."

Although there are still some cities in Liaodong that have not been taken, Li Shimin is not worried about any accidents at all.

Goguryeo no longer has any appealing people in Liaodong, and there are no troops with strong combat effectiveness.

To put it mildly, the remaining task of the Tang army is to take over the city and inspect the great rivers and mountains of Liaodong.

This land, which was lost after the Han Dynasty, is finally going to return to the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty.

From now on, Li Shimin will never allow anyone to throw away this piece of land.

"Your Majesty, General Cheng asks to see you!"

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about things, someone came in to report.

"General Cheng? Which General Cheng? ”

Li Shimin sifted it through his mind, but he didn't know who this General Cheng was.

"Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Erlang, he asked to see him outside the city, and he also brought more than 10,000 troops."

"Huh? How did Chu Liang end up here? Li Shimin frowned, but soon thought of something, "Quick, let him in." ”

He agreed that Cheng Chuliang would go to Pyongyang to rescue Li Kuan, but later knew that Li Kuan didn't need to be rescued at all.

Then Cheng Chuliang is here now, and the meaning is very different.

Is it the same as you think?

Li Shimin is looking forward to it!
