In view of the rebellion of the remnants of Goryeo, the turbulent situation in Andong gradually escaped the control of the imperial court, although the king of Yan led his army to quell the rebellion, the major generals were outnumbered in several cities in Liaodong.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were worried about the safety of their beloved son, so they pressed the courtiers such as Yushi, who impeached Li Yu, and decided to send troops to aid Li Yu.

After ordering Xue Rengui, the general of the Right Weiwei, to be the general of the march of the Luosa Road, he led the army to crusade against Tibet. He also ordered Gao Kan, the general of the left prison gate, to be the head of the march of Dongzhou Road, and Li Jinxing, the general of the right leading army, to lead 40,000 troops to Liaodong to assist the king of Andu Hufu to defeat Anshun and other remnants of Goryeo, and sent Siping Taichangbo Yang Fang to take charge of the remnants of Goryeo.

After Xue Rengui was appointed by the imperial court, he began to assemble troops and horses with Ashina Daozhen and Guo Beifeng, and sent scouts to investigate the garrisons and roads of various cities in Qinghai and Tubo, and immediately sent troops when the grain and grass needed for the army arrived.

Gu Wen Tubo general Tan Qinling led an army of 400,000 to the north to attack the four towns of Anxi, and Xue Rengui led only 50,000 soldiers and horses on this expedition, and he still went deep into the hinterland of Qinghai alone.

After Xue Rengui discussed with the generals, he could only win by leading the army to fight a quick battle, otherwise he would be trapped in Qinghai by the hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops who returned from Anxi.

After Gao Kan was appointed by the imperial court, he sighed with emotion: "After half a life, I finally enjoyed the joy of family for more than a year, and then I wore my armor and went to the battlefield. ”

Gao Kan went non-stop, with the will of the imperial court, to the location of Li Jinxing, who was stationed in Yingzhou. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court to go to Goguryeo this time were all 40,000 soldiers from the Su Mo Yan Ya Department attached to Yingzhou in the early Tang Dynasty and under the command of Li Jinxing.

Li Jinxing is the son of Tu Diji, the chief of the Su Mo Jin Tribe, and his tribe has thousands of servants, and he is jealous of the Siyi because of his financial strength.

The eastern and western armies formed at the same time to conquer the enemy country, and the Tang Dynasty opened a two-front combat mode since then.

The messenger sent to Silla by the empress of Anshun as the new queen of Goguryeo brought back good news.

King Kim Phomin of Silla not only recognized the Goguryeo throne of Ansun, but also proposed a mutual alliance against the Tang Dynasty.

Jian Mucen and An Shun were overjoyed, and immediately signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the envoys from Silla to expel the Tang people, and the two countries would be friendly for generations.

Jian Mucen proposed that due to the perennial war in Goguryeo, many people were displaced, the fields were mostly barren, and most of the families of wealthy families in China were taken away by the Tang State. It was difficult to collect enough grain and grass from all over Goguryeo for his tens of thousands of troops, and Silla needed to provide food, grass and ordnance support.

When King Kim Famin of Silla learned of this situation, he gritted his teeth and disregarded the fact that due to the perennial wars with Baekje and Goguryeo, a large number of young and middle-aged people were killed and wounded, and the hungry people of Gugui, he allocated 30,000 stone grain to Jianmou Cem, and sent 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison the border Qiju Fortress in order to enter Goguryeo for reinforcements at any time.

After receiving the support of Silla's grain and grass ordnance, Jian Mucen and An Shun were confident and prepared to send troops to recover the old land of Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

However, it was learned from the remnants of the Goryeo army who fled from Liaodong that the Tang army would cross the Ap River and enter Pyongyang in the near future by destroying the allied forces of Goryeo and Silla in Anseong City and Wugu City.

This news made Jian Mucen and An Shun frightened and frightened, and it was still too late to remember what had happened, causing the main force of the anti-Tang rebel army in Goryeo, where Liaodong was located, to be wiped out by the Tang army, and important cities such as Anshi and Wugu were occupied by the Tang army again, putting themselves in a disadvantageous position.

For the sake of today's plan, we should immediately concentrate our troops and horses to defend the gateway to Pyongyang and humiliate the city. Jian Mucen also wanted to send two more troops and horses to guard the two choke points on the right bank of Yalushui and Daxingcheng, which entered the Korean Peninsula, so as to prevent the Tang army from moving south.

It can be learned from the mouth of the Goryeo soldiers who fled from the black bones that the black bones were lost as early as ten days ago, and for such a long time, these two cities are so close to the black bones that they must be occupied by the Tang army. To Jian Mou Cen's chagrin, the Tang army's advance was too fast, completely disrupting his plan.

It is not feasible to use Liaodong to block the Tang army, and now we can only hold the south of Yalushui first, and when Goguryeo's strength recovers slightly, Liaodong will definitely be sought.

Now Li Yu didn't know how many Goryeo rebels Jian Mucen belonged to, and Jian Mucen also didn't know the situation of the Tang army in Liaodong, and only learned from the panicked deserters that the Tang army had more than 100,000 and less than 70,000.

The inaccuracy of the enemy's intelligence caused Jian Mucen to misjudge the military situation of the Tang army, not knowing Li Yu's truth and falsehood, and missing the capture of Bozhuo and Daxing City before Li Yu received reinforcements.

Li Yu did not take the city with a small number of soldiers, which puzzled many generals in the army.

Lee said: "The two cities of Bozhuo and Dahang are the gateways to the south bank of the Yalu River, and they are the military towns of the former Goryeo guarding Pyongyang. Our army now thinks that if we take these two cities without taking these two cities, it will give the Goryeo rebels on the south bank a chance to breathe and seize these two cities before our army. The Goryeo rebels had two cities to attack and retreat. The surrounding mountains are high and densely forested, and it will be extremely disadvantageous for our army to attack and defend these two cities. ”

Under the persuasion of the generals, Li Yu was not allowed to draw veterans from other guards to supplement the new soldiers by drawing the 5,000 soldiers and horses he had collected in the past half a month.

Cheng Boxian was appointed as the general of the Phoenix Guard, Chen Xuan was the general of the Kunpeng Guard, and the former deputy generals of Xuanwuwei and Qinglongwei were reappointed as Xiao Hong and Guan Daniu, who had made many military exploits.

Chen Xuan led Kunpeng Wei to occupy Bozhuo City, and Cheng Boxian led Phoenix Wei to occupy Daxing City to contain the Goryeo rebels.

Although there are still Goryeo rebels operating in Liaodong, after the main rebel forces in Anshi and Wugu City have been eliminated, the rest will not be able to become a climate.

Five days after the army rested and recuperated, Li Yu ordered a detachment of soldiers and horses from the garrisons of each city to begin to encircle and suppress the Goryeo rebels around this line.

It lasted a month, destroying 10,000 large and small Goryeo rebels and capturing more than 5,000 people. Li Yu was so happy that after starving the captives to death, he fed them every day, reduced them to slave labor, and then rushed to build roads.

From the bank of the Liaohe River through Anshi, Yuncheng, Wugu to Bozhuo City, a rammed earth road from west to east, a fork in Wugu to Daxing City, all built by slave laborers who increased to more than 10,000 people.

Li Yu hopes that the road can be completed within a month, and not more than three months at the latest.

Tang Jun, who was in charge of overseeing the work, gave the pigs food every day and whipped the Goryeo slave laborers to build roads desperately. According to the prisoner manual of Li Yuzhi, the Goryeo captives were divided and disintegrated to prevent them from holding together and resisting.

He found some unsociable people from the Goryeo captives and returned them to Matsui's men, who surrendered after the Battle of Anshi, and organized them into a supervision team. The pay is also higher than that of other slave workers, and he is responsible for supervising the work of other slave workers every day with a wooden stick. As soon as he found that he was not serious about his work, he was brought out and tied to the side of the road and beaten severely.

Tang Jun clearly stipulated that these supervision teams that assisted Tang Jun in supervising the work could have a full meal every day as long as they found that five people were lazy and whipped them, and more than five outstanding performers could also add meat.

If someone doesn't find even three of them in one day, he will be arrested and beaten by the other guards at the end of the day's work, and he will be denied dinner, and the next day he will be reduced to slave labor.

If it is found that the slaves are planning to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, the informant is a slave laborer, he will be promoted to the supervision team, and if he is a supervision team, he will be directly promoted to the supervision army, and he will no longer be a prisoner, and there will be a military ring every month.

As soon as this move was carried out, the crackling sound of wooden sticks and the screams of people were constantly heard on the construction site of the road.
