Hearing that the granary was going to be burned, Yanagi immediately asked, "This is not in line with the original plan, is it appropriate?" ”

"It's war." Chai Shao stopped Liu Mu from talking further.

Everyone else understands that after Goguryeo invaded Baekje, they found that Baekje's granaries had been burned and the treasures in the warehouses had disappeared. They were faced with the old, weak, and hungry people of Baekje, and Goguryeo's only option at this time was to distribute their military rations to the Baekje people.

It's a poisonous trick.

But it will kill many of the people of Baekje innocently.

Liu Mu couldn't bear it.

Chai Shao said forcefully, this is a war, and it is not the Tang people who died, but the people of Baekje, Baekje was originally the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, how can he say that he is soft-hearted.

Chai Shao said to Liu Mu: "The leader of the Yuan Pure Land, he will definitely pursue under his rage." ”

"Okay."

Yanagi had nothing to say.

On the border between Goguryeo and Baekje, the Goguryeo army was ready to move.

The Pure Land of the Wonto summoned all the generals to prepare for the pre-war meeting, and instead of a battle map, a data map of Baekje's various industries hung in the Chinese army's big tent.

This chart is also a statistical chart taught by the Tang people to the officials of Goguryeo.

"The porcelain vase, just such a small porcelain vase. The merchants of Baekje make more than 8 million pieces every year, and seventy percent of the raw materials are bought from our Great Goguryeo, and half of the craftsmen are also bought or deceived by various means. These more than 8 million porcelain vases can bring almost 200,000 guan of profits to the merchants of Baekje every year. ”

The generals of Goguryeo knew about these data mentioned by the Pure Land of Yuan, but they did not go into such detail.

"It's just porcelain bottles, but also plates, bowls, porcelain jars for teacups, and so on. The income of millions of Tang dollars, this is pure income, what can millions of Tang dollars do? ”

The Goguryeo generals all had red eyes.

Yuan Pure Land continued: "There are also hemp rope, hemp paper, and hemp mats. In particular, the ore from my iron ore mine in Goguryeo Mosan has a small steel mill in Baekje to make steel ingots. ”

"Kill, kill all the Baekje merchants, and get our coins back."

"Yes, kill all the Baekje merchants." Only then did the Pure Land of the Wonjo Land take out the map, the detailed rules of all the industries distributed in Baekje, and the deployment of various places.

At four o'clock in the morning, the entire Goguryeo military camp moved.

At this time, the Baekje border army was only in a tight defense, but they did not know why Goguryeo was fighting.

The first knife lurking on the front line led a man in a mountain forest to set up an antenna on the top of the tallest tree, sent a telegram to the rear, and then the whole team began to retreat.

At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the attack of the Goguryeo army on Baekje had already begun in full swing.

At several defensive points, Goguryeo invested a full 500,000 army, which was all the strength of all the nobles of Goguryeo, and the Baekje people were so weak that they did not hold out for even a day until the line collapsed.

At the same time as the battle was going on on the front line, Baekje King Fortress was already in chaos.

Several Baekje generals, who had surrendered long ago, raided the Baekje royal city with 30,000 elite soldiers in their hands, and all the homes of the great nobles of Baekje robbed all the wealth they could grab, destroyed everything that could not be robbed, and burned all the grain.

In just four hours, the entire Baekje King City was in flames.

Yanzhou City.

Li Jing sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and kept hearing reports from all sides.

Looking at the telegrams and newspapers, Li Jing said to several staff generals around him: "With such a quick transmission of military information, what else is there to fight in this battle." ”

"Marshal, at the moment, Goguryeo has no defensive strength, and the striker asks if he wants to fight."

"Wait!" Li Jing calmly gave a military order.

Chang'an City.

Li Shimin, who received the news of Goguryeo's dispatch of troops through telegrams, held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens after dawn, and then personally led his troops to the battle.

The Divine Guard Yulin Army, this is a legion that basically won't go to the battlefield until the country is ruined.

The most ordinary soldier of this legion can be the captain of a fifty-man squad, which is an army of older and better junior officers.

If one day it really needs to fight to the death, the Feather Forest Army can be expanded tenfold in a few days.

The Shence Wei Yulin Army is the strongest foundation of the Tang Army, and it also shoulders the duties of palace guards, Tang Emperor's travel guards and standard-bearers, and their treatment is five times that of ordinary soldiers.

A regiment of two hundred men, together with their horses, armaments, and ordnance, was divided into five carriages.

At present, the capacity limit of Datang Twin Locomotives is 32 full carriages.

The first military train traveled first, and the telegraph was responsible for liaison on the road, and the railway had a professional management team, relying on the continuous contact of the telegraph to determine the location of each train, as well as to contact each station and each class.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin was on the second military column.

Then six military trains were driven in turn, which was all the trains in Datang at the moment, and there were a few new cars, but not enough carriages were built.

Goguryeo Peninsula.

After Goguryeo broke through the defense line on the Baekje border, it encountered a strong resistance before preparing to attack Xiongseong, the largest city in the north.

"Report, in an ambush, the attack of the front army was blocked, thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, one general was killed in battle, and nineteen generals were killed."

"What?" The Pure Land of the Yuan never expected to encounter an ambush.

Yuan Pure Land immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the heavy armored battalion of the Chinese army will send a thousand people to fight." ”

This heavy armor battalion is a treasure in the hands of the Yuan Pure Land, and it has spent a huge amount of money to purchase the equipment of the previous generation of Shen Cewei of the Tang Dynasty, and has armed more than 3,000 people.

The Yuan clan believed that this army could defeat 30,000 Baekje soldiers with a thousand men against the Baekje people.

Li Shimin received this news when he arrived in Bingzhou by train.

"It seems that Konoe Tadashi has done a good job, this ambush will make the Yuan clan pursue frantically."

Changsun Wuji was sitting on the side, sorting out all kinds of information, and drawing the current strategic form map on the map, and after marking, Changsun Wuji said: "Sage, as long as the Goguryeo people pursue at the moment, then this plan will be mostly successful." ”

"Will pursue."

Li Shimin's tone was very calm, he didn't care whether Goguryeo pursued or not, what he wanted was to reduce the casualties of the entire Goguryeo Peninsula as much as possible, especially the casualties of the young and strong, what the Tang Dynasty lacked most at the moment was not coins, but population.

Even if it is a slave, it can supplement the population of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin's special train arrived in Yanzhou, Li Jing came to the station to greet him.

"The plan is working out very well, and I am very happy. I won't say a word about the war, I just came to give an explanation to the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Yes, if something happens, the minister will die."

Li Jing heard what happened in Chang'an City, and also understood why Li Shimin, as the emperor, wanted to give an explanation to the people.

The mountain of money didn't move at all, and it was still piled up in front of the Suzaku Gate.
