Chapter 184: Breaking the Goguryeo Water Army (Fourth Update, Asking for Subscription)
The border friction between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty has not stopped, from the end of the former Sui Dynasty to the present, it has been more than ten years.
At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went on an eastward expedition, so that Goguryeo had always maintained the deepest hostility towards the Central Plains Dynasty. They want a wider land, they want a richer land. Their rulers wanted to conquer the Central Plains because the peninsula they lived in was too small.
However, the population of this country is not large, and although the ambitions are large, it has only been able to slowly encroach on the territory in the west, first of all, the two mountain and forest tribes of Yan and Murowei, and then the Tang Dynasty.
These are the prey on his hunting list, and they want to one day the whole of Goguryeo will land in the Central Plains and obtain the vast and rich land of the Central Plains. It has also been expanding in this direction, even the whole country.
If it is according to the development of history, Datang is extremely empty in the country at this time, of course, he can only tolerate it for the time being, but now Li Er can't bear it at all. Because he wants to be a holy monarch, he would rather die than retreat.
Therefore, Zhang Liang and Zhang Yuanjian became the permanent army of Liaodong, and their goal was to prevent Goguryeo from taking a step forward, to hold on until the Tang Dynasty eased up, and then completely hurt the Goguryeo people at once.
Datang has just finished the Northern Expedition, and now it needs a period of recuperation, and a long military operation is unreasonable for a country. The maelstrom of war will consume countless supplies and the lives of countless soldiers.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty needs to slow down, and it can't be reckless, all of this has a bloody lesson in history, and the former Sui died because of this. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be said to be one of the representative figures of the First Emperor of the Ages, but he finally lived as a single husband.
Why, just because his methods are too iron-blooded, not that they are not doing it right, but they are too absolute, and like Emperor Yang of Sui, they all want to succeed too much.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to permanently exterminate the Xiongnu, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to completely pacify Goguryeo in the East. This made them ignore the domestic treasury, which was already beyond their means, and forcibly went to war abroad, and in the end, neither of them achieved their ultimate goal.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is okay, he has the heritage of the Han Dynasty, and he can withstand his defeat like that. However, although Emperor Yang of Sui had the foundation of Emperor Wen of Sui, it was not as long as the Han Dynasty, so the Han Dynasty of Emperor Wu of Han was inherited after him, while Emperor Yang of Sui lost his country.
When everything was placed in front of Li Er, Li Er learned the lessons of these people, and he was unwilling to finish his work in one battle, because he knew that it was unrealistic, and there was no other end for Datang to be dragged into the quagmire of war.
So he was ready to take a good rest, let the people of Datang breathe a sigh of relief, and then free up his hands to completely sweep away these alien fanstates with wolf ambitions one by one.
Take your time, because he has enough confidence, Datang has immortals as backers, and the army is also brave and good at fighting, and now the generals who follow him all the way to fight the country are the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and some people in the next generation have begun to emerge.
For example, Qin Qiong's righteous son, Tiger Head Shaobao Li Fengyi, and Niu Jinda's former personal guard, who is now called the highlight of the city-breaking hammer. There is also Xue Wanche's own family, Xue Li, who came to him from Hedong Road. These people are all of the younger generation, in their twenties, or even in their teens, but they all have superb skills and strong strength, and they are all the prototypes of a tiger general.
Therefore, Li Er is very optimistic about the future, as long as he implements his plan little by little, then the Tang Dynasty will continue to expand and develop in the future, even surpassing any Central Plains dynasty.
This is the eternal prosperity that belongs to him, and he wants to create this thousand-year-old prosperity little by little, and leave a strong mark on the history. Even if he has the stain of killing his brother and father, as long as this goal is achieved, no one dares to say that he Li Er can't do it!
However, this process will take a long time, and even he himself doesn't know if he can see this day coming, but he believes that with the immortal Lu Hanyang, Datang will definitely be able to create that kind of prosperous era.
And he hoped that in this process, he could gradually ask for the influence of this immortal, or push the position of the imperial power up again, so that he would no longer be so groveling to face this pure yang immortal.
In fact, how did Li Er know that he didn't have to grovel so much, and Lu Hanyang didn't enjoy his etiquette much.
Some people say that immortals must have the majesty of immortals, but Lu Hanyang does not feel that he is an immortal, or that he is just pretending to be a fairy to make himself more comfortable.
His essence is actually still a person, and in the later life, he is just a small common man, so there is no need for so much red tape. He didn't care about any of this, after all, how many people in that era still adhered to these ancient understandings?
He knew that his mentality was not like a fairy, and he didn't have that kind of fairy, but what did he want those immortals to do? You can't eat or wear it. What he wants is to live comfortably, no one will take care of him, and he can do whatever he wants.
Even when he took out those things, most of them solved a lot of trouble for Li Er, but his original intention was to wipe Li Er's ass? No, he just wants the people of the Tang Dynasty and the descendants of China to live a better life.
And is there a quicker way than the imperial push? No, the imperial power is still the fastest promotion channel in this era. Even if Lu Hanyang is under the banner of an immortal, he may not be able to come faster than Li Er, after all, he doesn't have so many people under him to help him promote it.
Without further ado, Lu Hanyang came to the territorial waters of Goguryeo, this area is the sea area of Goguryeo, but the army of the Tang Dynasty drove in like this, yes, this is yours, but this is also what I like.
It's as simple as that, it's as straightforward as that. Because Li Er asked Zhang Liang and Zhang Yuanjian not to take a step back, and gave them the will to act expediently, then they will attack directly, no matter whether you occupy the righteous principle or not, it is reasonable that I am stronger than you.
And Goguryeo has no choice but to give up his body like this, and dare to pull the emperor off the horse to fight to the death.
That's right, you're better than me, but I'm not muddy, I can drag you to death with me!
This plan was originally very good, even if the Datang army sent a death squad to go to the sea to stop it, it was impossible to stop everyone, as long as there were so many people who succeeded, then the Datang ships could only really sink to the bottom of the sea.
But now that Lu Hanyang is here, he is here, will this kind of thing happen? Absolutely not, so at this moment, a crane chirped to announce the destruction of the Goguryeo naval army.
A sword qi in Lu Hanyang's hand was directly slashed, instantly dispersing all the shadowy sharks in the distance, and then directly transformed the sword qi into silk and raged among the Goguryeo naval army like a small sampan.
