Chapter 1719: Eat one bite at a time
Just when Pyongyang City entered the second stage, Su Dingfang finally led his troops back to Pyongyang City, and his triumph also announced that all the cities in Goguryeo had been captured, in fact, those cities in Goguryeo, many of them were a cottage, basically standing at the door, they took the initiative to surrender, or they fled, and now there are some resistance forces in the wild hiding in Tibet, but this killing chicken with a knife, Su Dingfang is not very interested in those people, so he handed it over to his subordinates to do, let them also make a little merit, grab some prisoners, Exchange some money with the merchant.
"General Su has really worked hard."
Han Yi stepped forward and smiled.
Su Dingfang returned the salute with a fist, and then said with a smile: "What's so hard about this, I just fought a good fight, which is much easier than I expected." β
Fighting Baekje, mainly Dugu Wuyue's sailors, Su Dingfang and their landing, basically the wind and clouds, did not encounter resistance, beat the Yuan boys, because the gap between the commanders of the two sides is too big, and it is also very easy, if you fight Pyongyang, it is mainly the credit of Han Yi, that is, the final decisive battle, he was ruthless and fought a tough battle.
When Han Yi heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "General Su, there is a sentence that I don't like to hear, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
Su Dingfang said solemnly: "It's okay for you to say it." β
Han Yi said: "I finally know now, why General Su, your official career is not smooth sailing." β
This topic turned around, it was really a little inexplicable, Su Dingfang subconsciously said: "Why? β
Han Yi sighed: "You see people fighting, every little merit is a great merit, and General Su, you are a big merit, and a small merit is nothing, so you have not been promoted." β
Su Dingfang was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Han Shangshu really woke up the dreamer with a word!" β
Han Yi smiled: "Just kidding, don't mind the general." β
"Don't dare, don't dare." Su Dingfang still has a lot of respect for Han Yi, he doesn't dare to be the same as Li Ji, he can't move a stinky boy at every turn, he can easily pinch the Yuan boy to death, Han Yi also has the ability to make him feel bad, in this officialdom, he can't be careless, so he said again: "But Han Shangshu is really a good method, it has only been a long time for Pyongyang City to recover." β
Liu Renliang on the side thought to himself, that's because you weren't here a few days ago, if you were here, you wouldn't have said that.
You must know that during the rehabilitation movement, it was very terrifying, everyone was in danger, and the entire city of Pyongyang seemed to be shrouded in the haze of terror, either this or that, he once felt a little dissatisfied with this, but he didn't know that this was actually created by Han Yi, he had also doubted Han Yi, but then he was denied by himself, because Han Yi was so young, how could he be ruthless, and a fire will burn the grain and grass in the city clean, this ancient grain is life, and it is after the war.
Coupled with the appearance of that group of assassins, everything was seamless, and he didn't believe that it was made by Han Yi.
"Awards, awards." Han Yi said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't do anything, which Liu Tingshi can testify to, I just used Baekje's set to this Pyongyang City." He didn't want to mention it more, so he changed the subject and said, "But the general, is it going well on your side?" β
Su Dingfang said: "It's going well, but I miscalculated the person of Yuangai Suwen, there are still a considerable number of people in Goguryeo who are loyal to him, and now they are gone, but some people would rather die than surrender, and some people actually formed a death squad to attack our army after the death of Yuangai Suwen, which is really surprising." β
Han Yi smiled and said: "This is actually not difficult to understand, although Yuangai Suwen is a thug, but he has resisted the invasion of foreign enemies several times, there will definitely be a considerable number of people who worship him and regard him as a god." I believe that General Su also heard about my assassination, which is why I am engaged in a rehabilitation campaign, and we must remove these people, otherwise, it will be very dangerous, and once we leave, they may resurrect. β
Su Dingfang nodded and said: "When I heard about this, I was also scared into a cold sweat, and the rehabilitation movement must indeed continue." At this, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I almost forgot something to tell you." According to the reports of our army spies, many remnants of Goguryeo fled to Silla, but when I sent people to inquire, the Silla side denied the matter completely. β
Han Yi frowned and said, "Is this serious?" β
Su Dingfang said: "Our people see it with their own eyes, and there will be no mistake." It's just that I think that Han Shangshu has to negotiate with Silla for this matter. β
Liu Renliang frowned, and said, "This Silla is really ambitious!" When I was in Baekje, Silla had taken in Baekje's general Bojie, and now I have taken in the remnants of Yuangai Suwen, these people are all against my Datang, Silla has accumulated these strengths, obviously, to prepare for the future rebellion against my Datang, and Silla has always coveted the territory of Baekje, we can't take it lightly. β
Speaking of this, he said to Han Yi: "Han Shangshu, we have to force Silla to hand over these people, and we must not let those people stay in Silla." β
Su Dingfang also nodded slightly.
They were very confident that Silla would hand over the people, after all, there was such a big difference in power between the two sides.
But Han Yi was silent.
Liu Renliang asked, "Isn't it that Han Shangshu has other plans?" β
Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "I wonder if Liu Tingshi has ever thought about why Silla dared to take in the remnants of Yuan Gai Suwen at this time?" β
Liu Renliang groaned for a moment and said, "Isn't it because my army has retreated?" β
Su Dingfang waved his hand and said: "You don't need the main force here to fight Silla, give me 10,000 people, and I will be able to destroy it." β
He knows the strength of Silla too well, and just your two strokes, it's really not enough to see it.
Han Yi said: "I don't doubt General Su's words, but the question is, what about after the fight?" We don't even have complete control over Goguryeo, and there is another Silla over there, and we can't occupy it at all, which will only add a lot of trouble to us, and if we eat too much at once, although it is very refreshing, then it will cause indigestion and even cause illness. Instead, I think it's a great thing for us. β
Liu Renliang was surprised: "How do you say this? β
Han Yi said: "What Goguryeo needs today is stability and restoration, and at this time there can be no more chaos, those remnants are all sworn allegiance to Yuan Gai Suwen, it is impossible for them to submit to my Tang Dynasty, but if those people hide in the deep mountains and old forests, after we leave, they come out from time to time to harass the people, we have to spend a lot of energy to deal with them, but they run to Silla, then at least Silla will help us manage them." β
"If Silla covets Baekje or even Goguryeo's territory, it is very likely that it will come to cause trouble and undermine our control over the area. β
Han Yi said with a smile: "I was just going to ask the king of Silla to come over to talk about the settlement, and I will remind him at that time, so that they can temporarily discipline those people, I estimate that the Silla side also perceives that their military strength is too poor, and they take in the generals of Baekje and Goguryeo, and they also plan to strengthen their own forces, so as long as I give them a little color, they will not dare to cause trouble for us for the time being, because I believe that after this battle, he also knows how many catties and taels he has." As for the stabilization of Goguryeo, hehe, then these people will be the reason for us to destroy Silla. β
Liu Renliang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said, "It turns out that Han Shangshu ...... you." β
"Silla is not credible, and even if he is credible now, who can guarantee it later? After all, this place is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is not easy to make a trip, and the best way is to eliminate them once and for all. β
Han Yi changed his words and said: "But no matter what, Silla is now our ally, if we Datang stab our allies in the back, it will damage our image, and besides, they can also come up with a legitimate reason for taking in those remnants, as long as they say that those people are prisoners, then we can't say it, after all, we are allies, and whoever is captured will belong to whom."
In addition, we don't have the ability to destroy Silla for the time being, but don't forget that the situation in the northwest is still unclear to us, and the eyes of the imperial court have also turned to the northwest, our side can no longer easily start a war, otherwise, the imperial court will not be able to take care of it, fortunately, Silla is so big, give him a few years, General Su will destroy it at most from 10,000 to 20,000, if you use this extra grain and grass in exchange for a few years of peace, I think it is really worth it. β
Han Shangshu smiled. Su Dingfang waved his hand again and again, and said with concern: "By the way, Han Shangshu knows the situation in the northwest?" β
Han Yi shook his head and said, "It's winter, and it's not very convenient to exchange letters, and I don't know very well." β
Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel worried.
Liu Renliang suddenly asked, "Han Shangshu doesn't seem to be worried at all. β
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Who said I'm not worried, I've put a lot of effort into the northwest, and it's very likely that I'm busy in vain now, but the matter has come to this point, and it's useless to worry." But if we think from the good direction, now that we have eliminated Goguryeo, as long as we settle down here, we can concentrate on dealing with Tibet, so settling Goguryeo well is the basis for dealing with Tibet. β
Su Dingfang said with a smile: "It's still Han Shangshu's foresight!" β
He also thought about it, if there was no fight, then what would these generals do, and they would kill them back tomorrow.
Han Yi said with a smile: "It's not that I'm far-sighted, but I can only comfort myself like this, I won't tell you that the first thing I do when I get up every morning is to pray to God, Lu Dongzan's plan failed." β
Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang couldn't help but smile at each other, with a little helplessness in their smiles.
