About half a month later, when Qin Hao persuaded General Heizhi to perform under Geling City, the Han Volunteer Army had already been formed in the Liaodong region.

Among these newly formed Han Chinese legions, there are even Goguryeo veterans who have just been broken up by the Tang army last month and have just laid down their blades.

These veterans may not be of much use for attacking the city, but at least there is no need for Datang to bother with trivial things such as public security, and Li Shimin's available troops have suddenly increased a lot.

The ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong has also fundamentally changed with this status quo, somewhat similar to the Mengyuan Dynasty, dividing the people of the peninsula into four classes.

The first class is of course the Tang people, these Tang people will mainly live in the concession in the future, go out to see the third level of the official university, and even appear in the small wooden sign that the Buyeo people and dogs are not allowed to enter.

The second class is the original Han people, these Han people can be officials, can do business with the Tang people, can freely enter and leave the concession and eat on the territory of the Tang people.

The third class is the ethnic minorities in this land, such as the Bohai people, the Qian, the Khitan and the like.

The Buyeongs, on the other hand, have become the object of exploitation entirely.

Although this is not conducive to national integration in the long run, it is better to be simple and rude, and the fastest effect in the short term, but the workload of setting things right in the later stage is simply terrifying, but Qin Hao is still soft-hearted, and he always feels that there is a sin of him here, and he has never broken his heart in the next ten years.

On the day of the city break, Gao Huizhen stood at the head of the city and scolded the Tang army, and then killed himself and was ordered to be buried by Li Shimin.

And Xincheng finally ran out of ammunition and food, and if he continued to fight, he would only have to eat people, and Gao Yanshou was not Zhang Xun, so he led a death squad to make a suicidal and tragic charge against Xue Wanche's tight military formation, and never came out again.

And the rest of those new towns, all surrendered to Xue Wanche, the poor black king Xue Wanche was finally liberated, and the soldiers under his command walked around the golden city, not even looking for a mouse, looking at the other friendly soldiers with a big bag of general coupons on their backs, not to mention the red-eyed.

At the same time, Niu Jinda finally broke through Jubal Fortress in Baekje and staked the king's prime minister and other unified leaders to Li Shimin, and Baekje was temporarily destroyed.

Originally, there were still more than 20,000 troops scattered around Baekje, and there was still a period of time to fight, but because Qin Hao and Heiya had secretly communicated with him, those scattered troops finally concentrated in his hands in about half a month, and persuaded his subordinates to give up their plans to seek revenge against Niu Jinda, and only to fight to the Silla army in the north, and also gave up Niu Jinda's route to cross the Han River to fight Goguryeo.

In short, Niu Jinda was ready, and he could go north to open up a second battlefield at any time, and when the news reached Li Shimin, it was naturally a burst of joy.

Now, in front of Li Shimin, there are only a few small cities such as Baiyan, Houhuang, Hengshan, and Momi.

Like Xincheng, it is not a big problem to bypass it, but it is afraid that they will attack the grain road.

Originally, Li Shimin wanted to finish his work in one battle, and divided his troops into several ways to fight together, and in his estimate, there was about seven or eight days, but Ma Zhou took the initiative to ask Ying to attack the city by Fengyan Yamen.

How did the wind say that the Yamen attacked the city? Naturally, it is by the tongue.

The ethnic contradictions in the land of Liaodong have already become chaotic to this virtue, and they have not deliberately besieged the city to cut off their contact with the outside world, so it is naturally impossible for them not to be affected.

So, within a few days, under the fanning of the Tang Dynasty spies, the Han and Fuyu people in the city made a fuss.

Seriously, the battle has come to this point, and the soldiers of several cities have long had no fighting spirit, and those heroes who resist the enemy in the scorched earth are very few in any era, and the enemy is currently making such a fuss, and a few Han-dominated cities directly changed the flag and went out to meet the Heavenly Khan.

The remaining two Fuyu people were the main city, and it was not much better, and Li Shimin felt that before they could warm up, the Tang army would win.

After that, he left the sweeping work to Xue Wanche, who had been struggling, and he himself led the army to set off towards the Yalu River.

On the river, more than a dozen of Qin Hao's big boats were already lined up in a neat row, welcoming the sage's review.

This is the first time Qin Hao has seen Li Shimin since he was thrown into Dengzhou, although he is not uncommon in normal times, but in front of the ten thousand armies, wearing a handsome appearance in a silver shining armor, it is really the first time.

Qin Hao walked out of the crowd alone, knelt on one knee, and Li Shimin also drove his horse forward alone, and asked loudly: "How is the enemy's defense line along the river now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the defense line along the river has been abandoned by the enemy, the enemy army only built a village on the Changbai Mountain, and the ministers found out, including a total of one hundred and thirty-one arrow towers, sixteen zhang high, and the defenders are about 90,000 people.

Li Shimin asked again: "Where is Mr. Niu now?" ”

"Chief Niu and his 80,000 soldiers, and 20,000 Silla friendly troops, a total of 100,000 people, are already ready to attack on the south bank of the Han River, just wait for the Holy Lord's order, they can directly smash the Yellow Dragon and open up a second battlefield!"

Li Shimin naturally knew about these things for a long time, and the reason why he asked at this time was mainly for the officers and men of the three armed forces, which could be regarded as a kind of encouragement.

After all the questions were asked, Li Shimin patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said gently: "It's hard work, in this battle, although you don't have the skill to kill the enemy with perseverance, but I know that most of the credit for being able to fight like this is your credit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the first person in this battle." ”

"The saint has a good reputation, and the minister is guilty, and he really doesn't dare to take it."

"Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits, and my Datang can be regarded as a successor, get up and take me on the boat."

"Yes"

For most of the next day, Qin Hao had been busy transporting Li Shimin's army from one end of the Yalu River to the other, because Qin Hao had been harassing him for such a long time, and Goguryeo also realized that it was impossible to build fortifications on the Yalu River.

In desperation, Goguryeo had given up this natural danger and built a fortress in a valley dozens of miles away from the river.

In this way, the excellent terrain of the original landscape has naturally been greatly discounted, although it is still difficult to work, but at least the Tang army has been able to calmly unfold.

This is the first time Li Shimin has seen Qin Hao's ship, and the powerful role of the navy in this campaign has also opened up a clue to him, stroking the hull up and down, as if he is touching a charming concubine.

"This is really the important weapon of the Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Hao naturally smiled and said a few words modestly, but Li Shimin said: "When the finances of the imperial court are more abundant, and the imperial court also allocates a little money, your sailor will at least double it, and I will have more days to fight in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and I can't do without you, the important weapon of the country." ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

"But I heard that although your people are invincible on the water, they can't even beat the ordinary Goguryeo defenders on land, and they missed many fighters, how can this work, after this battle, I will send another general, not seeking to conquer the city, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can't lose at least this field battle."

Qin Hao felt a sigh in his heart, but he only agreed with a smile on his face.

Among them, there is no meaning of decentralization, it seems that Li Shimin has realized that Qin Hao's rights are a little too big.
