Chapter 19: Chicken Ribs?

Once the defenders and people in Anshi City know that if the Tang Army takes Anshi City, they will slaughter the city and kill the people of the city, then they will definitely desperately defend Anshi City, and the army and civilians will guard Anshi with one heart, there is no shortage of people, no shortage of materials, no shortage of food and grass, how can the Tang Army take this little strength?

From the time of the promotion to the present, Xuan Shijing has been standing in the corner silently watching these bigwigs formulate strategies against Anshi City, without saying a word, at this time, a sentence came out coldly, and everyone's eyes were attracted by Xuan Shijing.

"Boy, step aside, don't say more." Cheng Yanjin saw that the atmosphere in the tent was a little different at this time, and hurriedly drank Xuan Shijing.

Li Ji is a military master, and his words and deeds have his own reasons, and after breaking the city, he will kill the whole city, one is to promote the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is to exert some pressure on the people in Anshi City.

But Xuan Shijing knew that it was precisely because of Li Ji's theory that the pressure was on the people, but the Goguryeo people in Anshi turned the pressure into motivation, making it even more difficult for the Tang army to move outside Anshi.

Yang Wanchun is a hero, and now the two major forces of Goguryeo, on the one hand, Quangai Suwen, rebelled against the Gao royal family, and on the other hand, Yang Wanchun is the representative of the people who abide by the previous reign of Gao Jianwu.

And Gao Huanquan, except for the name of the crown prince, in Goguryeo, he has no power of his own.

Gao Huanquan is just a proton who has been in Chang'an since he was a child, if Gao Jianwu will peacefully give the power in his hands to Gao Huanquan in the future, then the relationship between Gao Huanquan and the Tang Dynasty is enough for him to sit firmly on the throne of Rongliu Wang, but now Gao Jianwu did not finish dealing with his previous affairs, he died under the knife of Quangai Suwen, Gao Huanquan has no value for Goguryeo, since he killed Gao Jianwu, then Quangai Suwen will not let Gao Huanquan sit on the throne of Rongliu King.

"It's okay, Jing'er, and tell me what you think." His Majesty Li Er's face was serious, and he looked at Xuan Shijing and said.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Xuan Shijing with a complicated gaze, and then lowered his eyes and stopped speaking.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, Anshi City is not better than other cities in Liaodong, the city is 100,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers, Yang Wanchun sent 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers to attack Beisha City, was divided by the minister and Zhang Jian, now the strength of the city, there are about 90,000 people, Anshi City is a city with the most troops in Liaodong, you can get a glimpse of one or two from the warehouse of Liaodong City, a Liaodong City is enough to supply 80,000 troops for three months, what about Jian'an City?" Xuan Shijing slowly analyzed: "What the minister means is that there is no shortage of food in Anshi City. ”

"I don't intend to besiege or attack." His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.

"What the minister means is that there is no shortage of food and people in Anshi City, if the rumor of the slaughter of the city leaks into Anshi City, Anshi City will return to work together to resist the siege of the army, in this way, it will be even more unfavorable to us, not only will it not deter people, but it will boost their morale." Xuan Shijing explained.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "What you said also makes sense. ”

Now that you know the fate of the city after it is broken, even if you are desperate, you have to resist to the end, maybe there is still a chance to survive, the Tang army is only so many people, the city of Anshi is high and deep, according to the right time, place and people, there is no victory.

"In this way, the current thing is to confuse the defenders of Anshi City, first break the reinforcements of Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, and then try to plot Anshi City." His Majesty Li Er has made a conclusion.

The winter in Liaodong made Xuan Shijing wrapped in a thick skin, even so, if there was nothing to do, Xuan Shijing would not easily step out of the tent, and the brazier was burned in the tent, which was warm and dry, very comfortable, all the firewood was burned, and there was no carbon gas that made people breathless.

"Master Hou, great victory!" Outside the tent, Xue Rengui hurriedly ran in.

"Huh? General Cheng's side? Xuan Shijing raised his head and asked.

"yes." Xue Rengui's cheeks were red, and he didn't know whether he was frozen or excited: "General Cheng and General Niu defeated Goguryeo's reinforcements in Huashan, and Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led more than 36,000 people to surrender.

"Another 36,000 troops have come, think about the fact that there are still in Liaodong City, and when they are gathered together, it is also a lot of force." Xuan Shijing sat next to the brazier, added two more pieces of firewood, and picked up the thriving firewood burning in the brazier with a branch: "Come here, sit down and say." ”

"The huge Liaodong City, it is definitely unrealistic to want to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty overnight." Xue Rengui sat on the wooden steps on the other side of the brazier, stretched out his hands and roasted them above the brazier, his hands were frozen for such a long time outside.

"Liaodong was originally from my Central Plains Dynasty, Goguryeo has lived in Liaodong for so many years, and it is natural to come back, but what you said is right, Liaodong has been in the hands of the Goguryeo people for too long, and it is impossible to completely recover it for a while, so it can only be naturalized to the Tang Dynasty after a long time." Xuan Shijing said: "The Tang Dynasty worked hard to conquer Liaodong, and as soon as the army left, the majority of the population here was not Goguryeo, and in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, how many people in Guanzhong would migrate to this side." ”

"According to what the Hou Ye said, this place in Liaodong is really a chicken rib." Xue Rengui said.

"Not really, as long as there are people here, the imperial court will give some policies, and it is still possible to develop." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Look at the map behind you, this Liaodong Peninsula is a good place, the Liaodong Peninsula is suitable for establishing a port, facing Dengzhou and other places across the sea, and the entire sea area here is encircled as the inland sea of the Tang Dynasty, for the navy, this is a natural training ground." And the Liaodong Peninsula can be used as a springboard for the Tang Dynasty to control the land of Sanhan, not only the land of Sanhan, but also the Wa Kingdom across the sea. ”

Xue Rengui didn't understand Xuan Shijing's words, because he didn't have Xuan Shijing's "vast" experience, and there were too many places that Xuan Shijing could learn from how to develop the Liaodong Peninsula, but Anshi City was like a nail stuck here, which was really disgusting.

These words were told to Xue Rengui, because Xuan Shijing knew that Xue Rengui in front of him would be sent to Goguryeo by the emperor in the future to preside over all the affairs of Goguryeo, and also left a good reputation in history as a benevolent government Goguryeo.

"What does Master Hou mean is that after the Tang Dynasty took control of Liaodong, he made great efforts to develop the water division?" Xue Rengui was stunned.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, no matter how the Tang Dynasty expands externally in the future, it will be inseparable from the naval army, not to mention far away, the three Hans and the Wa Kingdom are all under the front of the Tang Dynasty, but don't believe that these foreigners will sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty." ”
