Chapter 598: Liaodong City

In the army of guards, the eldest grandson Wuji and his son are still waiting for the opportunity to prepare to calculate Xuan Shijing, but if Xuan Shijing has been guarding Beisha City, the two of them have no choice, they can't go to Beisha City to find Xuan Shijing's calculation family.

The night in the barracks is not a silence, there will always be night patrols patrolling the barracks, accompanied by the sound of armor clashing, and the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.

At this time, in the big tent of the military camp, the candle on the desk of His Majesty Li Er was still not extinguished, but looked at the map of the entire Liaodong and fell into contemplation.

Now the news from all sides has gradually begun to converge on the side of the army, Li Ji and Li Daozong have begun to attack the city and plunder the pool, and Zhang Jian's side, while defending the city of Anshi, also intercepted the army that came back from Beisha City.

And Liaodong City......

According to the news brought back by the scouts, when Liaodong City learned that the Tang Dynasty army was going to Liaodong, it had begun to rebuild the fortifications, because Liaodong City was not within the Great Wall of Goguryeo, so the city wall of Liaodong City was also repeatedly reinforced by them, and now it has become very tall.

And the northern Khitan tribe is all written cavalry, and it is useless at all in attacking cities and plundering pools.

It is now the end of August, and this war will not end in two months, and what will be ushered in will be the cold winter weather in Liaodong, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Guannai will be greatly reduced in such a harsh environment as Liaodong.

This battle is the first battle of His Majesty Li Er's personal expedition, and there must be no problems.

Therefore, for attacking Liaodong City, His Majesty Li Er is also extremely cautious.

After the eldest grandson Chong left the camp tent of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji got up and came to the door of the tent, and found that the tent of His Majesty Li Er not far away was still brightly lit.

After the people at the door went in to pass the ceremony, the eldest grandson Wuji entered the camp tent.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." The eldest grandson, Wuji, stood in the camp and bowed.

"Auxiliary, I haven't rested so late." His Majesty Li Er raised his head and glanced at Eldest Sun Wuji, and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not resting here, but Your Majesty is thinking about how to attack Liaodong City?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right, we have been stationed outside Liaodong City for a few days, and the generals have also discussed countermeasures together during the day, but I feel that there should be a better way in addition to a strong attack, if it is a blind attack, the Goguryeo soldiers defending Liaodong City have already prepared, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties." ”

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it is normal to fight and capture the city, and it is normal for the casualties to be larger, and the strength of the army can be ten times that of the siege of the city, although our current strength is not ten times more than the defenders of Liaodong City, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are still able to block three with one against the soldiers of Goguryeo, not to mention that there are five thousand Xuanjia troops by Your Majesty's side." The eldest grandson Wuji comforted: "According to Wei Chen, the longer we delay outside Liaodong City, the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”

"Auxiliary, sit down and say." His Majesty Li Er beckoned Changsun Wuji to sit in front of him, and then said, "I don't know, but I'm also waiting, wanting to see the reaction of Quangai Suwen on the other side of Pyongyang City." ”

"Your Majesty thinks that Quangai Suwen will bring troops to Liaodong?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Not really." His Majesty Li Er said, and then pointed to Anshi City: "Yang Wanchun of Anshi City has always been a big trouble, Yang Wanchun is loyal to Gao Jianwu, Quangai Suwen killed Gao Jianwu, Yang Wanchun and Quangai Suwen should not agree, of course, the suspicion between the two has also been confirmed before, Quangai Suwen sent troops to attack Anshi City, but now it is different, no matter how between Yang Wanchun and Quangai Suwen, it is also a matter of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong, but the relationship is the life and death of Goguryeo, I don't believe it, Yang Wanchun will continue to work against Quan Gai Suwen at this juncture. ”

After listening to His Majesty Li Er's explanation, the eldest grandson Wuji fell into deep thought.

This is also reasonable, Yang Wanchun has 100,000 armor under his command, if he is dedicated to guarding Anshi City, this little force of Datang wants to take Anshi City, I am afraid it is definitely not a simple matter, if it is when Datang and Anshi City confront, Quangai Suwen leads the troops to Liaodong, the situation will take a sharp turn in an instant, and Datang's army will fall into the encirclement of Yang Wanchun and Quangai Suwen.

If you want to attack Anshi City, the 60,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty must be concentrated together, otherwise the 100,000 troops will be difficult to shake.

"Then what does Your Majesty have to deal with?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I already have some thoughts, now I have to wait for more news, why don't I come and guess, what am I waiting for?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked down at the map on the bookcase, and then said, "The minister thinks, Your Majesty is waiting for news from Silla." ”

"How so?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile.

"As early as before, when the army was on the way, Silla sent a messenger to our army to deliver a letter, saying that Goguryeo and Baekje wanted to attack Silla, according to this situation, Silla must be fighting with Goguryeo, and Baekje, Goguryeo is now in such a situation in Liaodong, Baekje will never dare to act rashly, so the minister guesses that on the side of Goguryeo Pyongyang City, the army of Quangae Suwen will be contained by Silla."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and nodded after hearing Eldest Sun Wuji's analysis: "Yes, but there is one point, the auxiliary machine is not right. ”

"Oh? Please call your majesty directly. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Baekje, before Quangai Suwen and Baekje united to attack Silla, and now in the situation of Liaodong, there is tension between Silla and Goguryeo, if Quangae Suwen wants to keep Goguryeo, he must unite with Baekje, otherwise under the attack of Datang and Silla on both sides, it will be difficult to win from it, and if Goguryeo is defeated, Baekje will definitely fall into the ground."

His Majesty Li Er has a very thorough understanding of the habits of these people in the land of Sanhan, one thing on the surface, one thing behind the scenes, all of which everyone knows, but what should be done on the face or how to be.

"Is Baekje trying to gain advantage between Silla and Goguryeo?" The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This is really in line with their temperament, but Weichen thinks that if Baekje wants benefits, Izumi Gai Suwen will definitely win them." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, now Quan Gai Suwen, what is needed is an ally like Baekje to keep the stability of Pyongyang City ten out of ten." ”
