Chapter 564: Before the War
Liaodong in the Xia Shang era in Chinese history belongs to Yingzhou, Zhou Wu King four years, the son of Wen Ding, the uncle of the king of the Emperor Ji Zi went to Liaodong, the establishment of the Oriental Gentleman State, teaching the people to etiquette, silkworms, weaving, for Liaodong brought the culture of the Central Plains and advanced production technology, promoted the development of production, and promoted the integration of nationalities, since then, Liaodong has become an inseparable inherent territory of the Central Plains.

In the next Qin and Han Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasty, Liaodong was the inherent territory of their Han Chinese Dynasty, although sometimes Liaodong was occupied by other countries due to the decline of national strength, but soon they would take it back with their own ability.
Goguryeo was the only one who was an accident, when Goguryeo took advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Wei Dynasty to fight with Hou Yan and Northern Yan to seize Liaodong, and then Liaodong was under the control of Goguryeo for two centuries and became Goguryeo's territory. This fell for so long that the whole of Goguryeo shamelessly regarded Liaodong as their territory, and the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, which had recovered their own territory, as foreign invaders.
The Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo launched a total of four large-scale battles, and nearly four million soldiers were mobilized successively, but they still failed to recapture Liaodong.
In many crises, the immovable Goguryeo was full of confidence, and they who claimed to be the nemesis of the Central Plains Dynasty felt that the Central Plains Dynasty was not such a terrible behemoth.
Three months have passed in a flash.
In the past three months, the northern and southern Goguryeo reached an armistice agreement, and the northern Goguryeo, led by King Yeryuro and Eulji Moondeok, was not threatened by foreign enemies, and it was really exactly the same as in Yuangai Suwen's prediction. The Southern Goguryeo, led by the Yuan clan, with the support of Baekje and the Unu, started a war with Silla, and under the attack of the Three Kingdoms, Silla lost a large area of land and seemed to be within reach.
The peninsula is full of smoke and wars.
They had no time to take care of the Central Plains Dynasty, for fear that the Central Plains would rashly send troops to intervene, so they were not in a state of affairs, and they were also extremely satisfied with some of the requirements of the Tang Dynasty. For Goguryeo, these "aliens" were a destabilizing factor, and it was better to send these "evil" forces away than to leave behind this "time bomb" that exploded at some point. Using these troublemakers in exchange for Datang's trust is undoubtedly a very cost-effective business. Therefore, as for Li Shimin's request for extradition, both North Goguryeo and South Goguryeo are happy to fulfill it.
When all kinds of major events were in full swing, the spiritual outlook of the loyal and righteous army also underwent earth-shaking changes, and in just three months, it transformed from an elite soldier to a strong soldier, and elite soldiers and strong soldiers are two completely different concepts. The progress was so great thanks to the Tiger Ben army that infiltrated Goguryeo.
After the arrival of the Tiger Army, under the instruction of Qin Feng, the two sides conducted a military exercise the next day, and as a result, the Tiger Army won a complete victory with a "casualty" of 1 to 15, and easily defeated the loyal army that was good at jungle warfare. Such a result shocked the whole army, and the soldiers of Zhongyi City knew what "there are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky". The power of example is infinite, and after the goal of struggle, the loyal and righteous army has been trained extremely hard since then.
When it was determined that the last group of remnants had arrived safely in Youzhou, when all kinds of equipment and materials arrived at the secret base of Changbai Mountain one after another. After conducting a simulation exercise, Qin Feng thought that after three months of training, it was time to test the results.
In the conference hall, Qin Feng sat in the first place, and below, he was seated according to his official position, Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui who came from the Central Plains, followed by the masters of Zhongyi City, but Zhongyi City was not at all dissatisfied with such an arrangement. Since he chose to return to China, he had to do it according to his official position, but under Qin Feng's operation, the official positions of several major figures such as Chu Huaizhong and Hou Zhong were also raised to a higher level.
Qin Feng took the lead and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our relatives have successfully transferred to Youzhou, although thousands of young people have left, there are still more than 8,000 soldiers available in our hands. Eight thousand soldiers are all the elite of the elite, and it is not an exaggeration to block ten with one. In other words, the 8,000 soldiers in our hands can be used as 80,000 people to a certain extent. In the past three months, everyone has made great progress, and now, the whole army is equipped with the latest equipment of Datang, and it is time to test the results of training. ”
"General, are you ready to do it?" Chu Huaizhong, Hou Zhong, Wang Haokai, Qiu Man, Hou Liang and other high-level leaders of the loyal and righteous army were extremely excited, and they were all moved.
These remnants of the Sui Dynasty in Changbai Mountain survived hard and tenaciously in the primeval forest, in order to be able to avenge the death of their compatriots in Goguryeo. They have always thought that this opportunity for revenge is out of reach, especially when the content of Qiu Man's message from Chang'an, and some people even think that revenge will become far away.
When Qiu Man brought Qin Feng's original analysis intact in the letter, Chu Huaizhong and other older people became desperate. Because Qin Feng said at the beginning: Datang's future development goal is the West, and Goguryeo is only a potential threat to Datang, not a stumbling block in Datang's progress. The main goal of the Tang Dynasty in the next ten years is to experience the Western Regions, and it is impossible to let go of Goguryeo. At that time, they sighed in pain. The generals of the loyal and righteous army who understood the hardships of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, even after Qin Feng's arrival, had suffered from gains and losses. But when Qin Feng made a decision, everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
Qin Feng can see the thoughts of these loyal people, and he doesn't elaborate, Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui may not know what Chu Huaizhong, Hou Zhong, and Wang Haokai have paid for revenge, hundreds of thousands of robes are buried in this land, and their corpses have been set up to show off as a Jingguan confession, as a group of people who are on the road of revenge, they want to see the demise of Goguryeo more than anyone else, and they are looking forward to a hearty battle of revenge with anyone.
For Datang's internal decisions, they will definitely spare no effort to support them, and there will be no slackness.
"Ben is really going to do it, if he doesn't do it again, the old thief will die. Hey, Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu is close to the Tang Dynasty, then, let's help him get rid of this internal enemy. Before we act, let's have a meeting to understand what to do first. Before that, let's talk about the topography of the city. Qin Feng is also the master of vigorous and resolute action, he is not sloppy, he does not make superfluous speeches, and directly starts a military meeting.
Big and small generals. Neatly arranged.
This conference hall is wide and bright, and there is a huge leather map hanging obliquely in the upper right corner, which is the topography map of the Liaodong generation in Youzhou, and the seats placed are just enough for everyone to see.
Qin Feng looked carefully at the newly perfected map of Chu Huaizhong and the others. After a while, he ripped it off and said, "The map is not enough to show the key, let's look at the sand table!" This one is a little more intuitive. Jiang Jiangzuo, please bring the sand table in. ”
Jiang Jiang's work in Qin Feng's mouth is not simple, he is a master craftsman Jiang Xingben, Jiang Xingben is a rugged middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a heroic spirit of the Northland.
The master craftsman is the chief engineer of Li Shimin's royal palace specially built for him, and the most famous Jiucheng and Luoyang Second Palaces were built by him, which is not a simple character.
Jiang Xing was originally a personal apprentice of Yu Wenkai at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he was proficient in various craftsman skills. From catapults and siege vehicles to building bridges and paving roads, they are all his strengths.
Among the several conditions put forward by Qin Feng, one of them was to transfer him to a group of craftsmen to listen to this point at any time.
When the sand table was put up, Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui, Chu Huaizhong, Hou Zhong, Qiu Man, Hou Liang and other generals successively surrounded the map board, and compared it with the map in their minds in detail.
The first thing that this good soldier can learn is to look at pictures.
Since the beginning of the art of war, there have been countless military experts who have emphasized the importance of topography. Faced with a completely new place that you have never set foot in, you can only understand the terrain from the map, and the more you can see it, the greater the advantage you will have.
Li Jing's "Mirror of the Six Armies" also seems to emphasize the importance of maps, in his private words, a person who can't even read a map can never be a general. It doesn't matter if you don't know a single word, marching and fighting is not a culture, but the basic knowledge of maps must be understood.
Everyone is a long-time battle-hardened character, and they are very aware of the importance of the map, and they are surprised that Qin Feng is well prepared, and they are also full of praise for the lifelike sand table, so everyone is also very serious, and from time to time they also discuss in a low voice with the cronies beside them.
Qin Feng didn't bother, but asked them to look at the sand table seriously, and asked them to point out the inappropriateness, so that Jiang Xingben and other craftsmen could transform nearby: an excellent general, when facing the map and the sand table, often thinks about tactics, how to transfer troops, how to use troops, and how to attack the local cities on the map.
These days, he has been looking at the picture, looking at the imperfect sand table, thinking about the tactical play, and already has a certain idea: it's just that he has always been used to gathering the wisdom of everyone and choosing the best way to play, instead of being Zhuge Liang alone and taking everything on one person.
After waiting patiently for half an hour, Qin Feng saw that it was almost over, and then said: "I believe you have also understood the situation in Goguryeo before this. Goguryeo's strength is not strong, but it can make Yang Jian fail miserably and shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, which shows that it has something special. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and we must face up to Goguryeo and the places that are difficult for them to deal with. Only in this way can we overcome it. Of course, our goal is not to fight the whole of Goguryeo, but there are some things that have to be prepared in advance, and no one can predict the unexpected. ”
Chu Huaizhong bowed his head and said, "What the general said is reasonable. ”
