The Tang Dynasty mobilized troops against Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, and Baekje at the same time, which frightened the surrounding other countries.

In particular, Xue Yantuo, whose national strength is not weak, was swept away by hundreds of large and small tribes led by Li Ji's tens of thousands of troops in the past two months, captured more than 200,000 women and children, defeated the 150,000 blocked enemies led by Xue Yantuo's little Khan Dadushe, beheaded more than 50,000, and 70,000 prisoners.

Because the other armies were dispatched relatively late and the distance was far, the results were not as brilliant as Li Ji's army, but the combined results were not bad.

Half of the powerful Xue Yantuo's grassland herdsmen were pocketed by Datang, and it was a matter of time before the remaining half was in their hands, and this time was definitely not much.

The Western Turks, which have been divided into two halves, are inferior to Xue Yantuo in strength, and seeing that Xue Yantuo, who is stronger than himself, has been beaten into a dog by the Tang Dynasty, the leaders of these two halves of the Western Turks are extremely frightened.

The stronger Desire Valley was already frightened when Datang destroyed Gaochang and captured the Western Regions, and it was also far away from Datang, so he felt more relieved. But the Ashina Helu Department close to the Tang Dynasty is not good.

The surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty can now be called a threat, and Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, and the Western Turks, now that Xue Yantuo is going to be finished, Goguryeo may not be better, so isn't it dangerous to leave the Western Turks?

What if the Tang Emperor destroyed Goguryeo, and Xue Yantuo turned around and came back to destroy himself?

Thinking about it left and right, Ashina Helu found that the only way to avoid himself from being attacked by Datang was to befriend Datang, don't make Datang angry, so that Datang would not have a reason to send troops.

He found that Datang is very particular, and will not send troops to attack anyone for no reason, only when others provoke Datang's head, Datang will send troops to attack, such as Xue Yantuo, if it weren't for Xue Yantuo taking advantage of the Tang Emperor's eastern tour of Chantai Mountain to send troops to attack the Turkic herdsmen who belong to Datang on the grassland, Datang would not send troops to fight back.

There is also Goguryeo, who repeatedly disobeyed the will of the Tang Emperor, cut off the tribute, and joined forces with Baekje to attack another Tang vassal state Silla, and Goguryeo's minister Yuangai Suwen actually killed the king, killed King Yeero, and set up a new king.

That's why the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Goguryeo and Baekje.

Pushing further, the same is true of Gaochang, the same is true of Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the same is true of the Eastern Turks.

The reason for Datang's every dispatch of troops is strong and irreproachable.

Then be frightened and worried, it is better to have a good relationship with Datang, don't go against the will of Datang, in this case, without sufficient reasons, Datang will definitely not send troops to himself.

Ashina Helu thought so, so he sent an envoy to quickly whip in to offer tribute to the emperor.

Ghost Festival.

"Keming, how is the war in Liaodong?" After the regular court meeting, several prime ministers and important ministers followed the emperor back to the study and council hall.

"Back to Your Majesty, Su Dingfang has conquered Xincheng, Yanjin City, and is heading towards Jinshan and Fuyu City. Cheng Chumo is besieging Beisha City." Du Ruhui recalled the report and said.

"Well, why did Cheng Chumo besiege Beisha City, I remember that he didn't let him march to Daxing City after he conquered Anshi City? What's the matter, Wu Yuanqing has adjusted his plan again?" Li Shimin suddenly interrupted and said.

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "Wu Yuanqing did not adjust the plan, but Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo did not conquer Anshi City first according to the plan, but first attacked Liaodong City, which caused Anshi City to strengthen its vigilance, and Daxingcheng reinforcements arrived, when they defeated Liaodong City and then attacked Anshi City, it was very difficult, and they finally took Anshi City after besieging for nearly a month. Cheng Chumo's troops suffered a lot of casualties, and with Su Dingfang being attacked as planned, Cheng Chumo's troops were no longer able to unilaterally attack Daxing City."

"But don't I remember that Daxing City only has 30,000 troops? The reinforcements of Daxing City in Anshi City have increased the difficulty of conquering, so since Anshi City was finally defeated, it can be seen that there should not be many Goguryeo soldiers left in the city, why is Cheng Chumo unable to take Daxing City?" Li Shimin asked coldly.

Why didn't he attack Anshi City according to the plan but first attacked Liaodong City, which was already guilty after the attack under Anshi City was blocked, so Li Shimin was not surprised by this, he was angry that Cheng Chumo made a mistake once, why did he dare to make a second time, and he actually changed the plan again.

"Your Majesty, this is going to talk about Yu Chi Baolin's part, Wu Yuanqing sent a ship to send Yu Chi Baolin's department from the water to Pyongyang City, with the assistance of artillery, it only took three days for Yu Chi Baolin to take Pyongyang City, but before Pyongyang City was captured, Yuangai Suwen had already evacuated from the city with the Goguryeo puppet king Gozang Wang. Yu Chi Baolin led his troops to chase and kill all the way, but was repeatedly stopped by Yuangai Suwen and his troops. Coupled with the 50,000 troops led by Yuangai Suwen, Wei Chi Baolin only had 10,000 people, so he didn't dare to force it too much. In the end, Yuangai Suwen successfully withdrew to Daxing City and joined forces with Daxing, Longyuan, Bozhuo and other city soldiers. The total number of troops there reached 100,000 people, and neither Wei Chi Baolin nor Cheng Chumo was able to attack the city. Wei Chi Baolin stationed troops on the other side of the Yalu River outside Bozhuo City, and confronted Bozhuo City across the river. Cheng Chumo was attacked by the defenders of Beisha City on the way to Daxing City with his troops, and in order to keep the back road from being lost, and he was unable to conquer Daxing City, Cheng Chumo would return to the division to besiege Beisha City and sweep away all threats in the rear." Du Ruhui explained in detail.

"Oh." Li Shimin knew it in his heart, no wonder Cheng Chumo changed the plan again, this is a succession of changes caused by the failure of the plan.

If it weren't for the change in the first plan to attack Anshi Castle first, there would not have been a situation where the current inability to attack Daxing Castle would not have appeared. If there is no change, the most important situation is that Anshi City is in Cheng Chumo, and Su Dingfang was quickly conquered under the joint attack of the two people, and then Su Dingfang led his troops to conquer the cities along the Liaoshui River, stabilizing the rear for Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chumo quickly conquered Daxing City as planned, and at that time, it was estimated that Yu Chi Baolin had just taken Pyongyang City, and the situation faced by Yuangai Suwen was that there was Yu Chi Baolin's pursuit, and Cheng Chumo, who took Daxing City before and after.

This can be said to be the best situation, but unfortunately, the great situation, because the small changes of Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo, who led the troops, have become an embarrassing situation that is now not up or down, and cannot be retreated.

"Then how is the progress on Wu Yuanqing's side?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Wu Yuanqing's side doesn't know for the time being, but according to the plan, it should still be disturbing the Baekje Bearjin River, along the Han River, and delaying Baekje's rescue of Goguryeo." Du Ruhui replied.

"It seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to win Goguryeo before winter." Li Shimin sighed lightly, changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about Ashina Helu offering tribute and requesting to be canonized as a khan?"
