Chapter 333: Between Brothers
"You must know that this land was jointly conquered by Goryeo and Silla, Baekje, Muroe and Yeong, and I have to take into account their feelings, because in the distribution of our existing interests, it is mainly these lands." Gai Suvin still tried to fight for the Tao.
"Silla, Baekje, Muro, and Intar, do you think these small countries have the qualifications to be able to get a piece of the pie in your hands? After getting my Datang's tank and chariot, your military power will increase greatly, and you can't expand to Datang, do you have no idea about them? Since you think they will become your trouble, well, I will help you solve your troubles, the two nations of Murwei and Yan are not liked by my Tang Emperor, and if we reach an agreement, the two countries will be the only nomadic people in the world except for the Tang Dynasty, this is a very unstable factor, my Tang Emperor is called the Heavenly Khan by the grassland tribes, and he has long been determined to unify the grassland, and these two countries will be quickly erased by the Tang Dynasty in the world after our agreement is reached. And with the destruction of Silla Baekje, you will dominate the peninsula for thousands of miles, and you can also expand overseas, we will each eat the lion's share, and we still need to care about them? ”
I have to say that the composition of Yanglin said made Gai Suwen very tempted, the unification of the peninsula is of great significance to him, the grassland is a chicken rib for him, and it is okay to use it as a strategic depth, but if you govern it, I am afraid it will not work, after all, the Goryeo people are not nomads, and the tribes living on the grassland are not so easy to control, the reason why the Tang Dynasty can control them is because the Tang Dynasty has a strong economy that the grassland people have to rely on, and the Goryeo Kingdom does not have this, but Gai Suwen vaguely feels that there seems to be some conspiracy in this, He didn't figure it out for a while, but he still had a lot of time to think about it before signing the official credentials with the Tang Dynasty, and now he could choose to get the first benefit first, let the Celestial God attack the Goryeo King City first, and help him sit on the throne of Goryeo.
I can't imagine that the negotiations on behalf of the two great powers in the world actually ended in a cup of tea, looking at the yang forest that grabbed the steel cable hanging from the Tianshen and lifted into the sky, Gai Suwen had a deep sense of frustration, what it was like for a person with outstanding intelligence to be intellectually despised by others, anyway, it is indescribable.
When Gai Suwen returned to the camp, he announced that the first negotiation with the Tang State had failed, however, that night, Li You and several other princes' meals were richer, Yanglin's meaning is obvious, if you want to learn the control technology of the tank, you can only work these people, and when Yanglin attacks the Goryeo royal city, he will sign an alliance with him, the new lord of Goryeo, Gai Suwen is clear about the efficiency of the Tianshen, so it is not far from the time when he signs an alliance to release the hostages, He had to take advantage of this time to master the operation of tank and combat vehicles as much as possible, and the public announcement of the failure of negotiations with Tang was to paralyze the lords of Murowei, Silla, Baekje, etc., once he reached an agreement with Tang, they would be friends and foes, and Gai Suwen did not have the slightest psychological burden on betraying several small lords.
Yanshan camp, Yang Lin sent the content of the negotiation with Gai Suwen to Chang'an with an expedited 800 miles, for the content of the negotiation and the hook he left, I believe that the old treacherous and cunning such as Li Shimin will definitely understand, he only needs to implement it according to the plan. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is now deployed in the Western Regions and Tubo, and among the existing armies, the most powerful combat power in addition to the Tenshen is the naval army, once an agreement is reached with Gai Suwen, then Goryeo's attack on Silla Baekje will definitely be launched, and the Tang State will not violate the agreement to invade Goryeo itself, but will support Silla Baekje against Goryeo, and even be able to secretly destroy Silla Baekje himself, and attack Goryeo in the name of a puppet regime, Yanglin's purpose in doing this is to transfer the battlefield from the grassland where the Tang army was weaker to the sea, to Goryeo, Silla and Baekje proper.
Li Ke has wanted to climb up to see it since the Tianshen arrived in Yanshan, he is the only one among all the princes who has not boarded the Tianshen, and the curiosity about soaring in the sky is something that everyone will have, so his eyes have never left the Tianshen.
Yanglin did not immediately set off to the capital of Goryeo, with the straight-line distance from Yanshan to the capital of Goryeo, the Tenjin could arrive quickly in more than ten hours, but this battle will not be as simple as fighting the royal court of Murwei, the capital of Goryeo Pyongyang City has experienced hundreds of years of construction, although it cannot be compared with Chang'an Luoyang and other big cities, but it is also one of the few fortified cities in the world, especially the palace, which is all made of heavy bricks and stones, and it is almost impossible for tanks to rampage inside.
Gai Suwen's purpose is to destroy the Goryeo royal family, and this crime must be borne by the Tang State, but Yang Lin knows that the ministers in the court do not advocate serious destruction and massacre of Goryeo, and the charge of slaughtering the Goryeo royal family will bring trouble to ruling Goryeo in the future, and how to fight this battle still needs to be discussed in detail.
In the big tent of the commander of the Zhenbei Army, Li Daozong has been closing his eyes and pondering after listening to what Yang Lin said, and in terms of tactics for taking down the Goryeo royal family, Yang Lin can only make a plan after seeing the scene specifically, but their Zhenbei Army has to face the recovery of the three thousand miles of northern grassland where Xue Yantuo is located. According to the agreement, Gai Suwen will find an excuse for the royal capital to be attacked, the royal family is slaughtered, and he wants to return to China to inherit the throne to get out of the battlefield, and the Northland grassland will be generously handed over to Murwei and Yan Ya. Nomadic nations like theirs have a strong desire for pasture, and will become a new opponent of the Zhenbei Army.
Now the main force of the Eastern Army has not yet arrived in Yanshan, in addition to the 100,000 new troops integrated by Li Daozong, there are 50,000 reinforcements belonging to the Zhendong Army, although the number is quite a lot, but from Yanglin's current point of view, these 150,000 troops can only be used as the standing garrison of the Anbei Protectorate that the Tang Dynasty will set up in the future, and they are not good at attacking, at least the mobility is too poor, and the war against Murowei and Yan Ya still needs to wait for the arrival of the Eastern Army before it can be launched, so the time when the Eastern Army arrives in Yanshan, It was also the time when Yangrim set out to attack the royal capital of Goryeo.
Li Ke waited outside the big tent for a long time and didn't see Yanglin come out, but he had been looking at the Tianshen, Li Zhi in a moon-white robe walked over from the cabin door, although these two people are brothers, but very few faces, when Li Ke was still in Chang'an, Li Zhi was still a little swaddling baby, and when Li Ke returned to Chang'an again, Li Zhi was confined by Li Shimin in the Tianzhu Horse Mansion, except for the funeral of the eldest grandson queen, the two met from afar, their friendship was all established after the establishment of the Eastern Army, As the only one who has made great contributions among the several princes who went on the expedition, Li Zhi's name is now much higher than Li Ke in both Chang'an and Zhenbei Army.
"Third brother, you are basking in the sun here!" Li Zhi has not experienced any political struggles, he is still a teenager, his specialty is learning, dealing with people, and there is no city government to speak, but such a simple greeting without nutrition made Li Ke very happy, where is he looking at the Tianshen, he is looking at Li Zhi on the Tianshen, smart as him, has seen some signs, but not very sure, in the camp of the Eastern Army, he deliberately went to seize the tank first, and he also did not want to touch the core secret of the Tang Dynasty, all he did, only to save his life, and this person who may control his life and death in the future, can affectionately call him the third brother, what a happy thing it is!
"Yes! The third brother is obese and in poor health, and he is used to staying in the hot and humid weather in the south, and he doesn't sweat a little every day, and his body is not good. Li Ke replied with a smile, and quickly cleaned up a stone pier beside him with his sleeve, and motioned for Li Ke to sit down and chat.
"I heard from my brother-in-law, the Celestial God is about to attack the Goryeo Royal City, this is another great achievement to destroy the country, do you want to go, I will tell my brother-in-law, take you." Li Zhi didn't say anything polite to Li Ke, and sat down with a flick of the hem of his robe, as a concubine, he had an innate position advantage among the kings.
"Hehe, the third brother is afraid of heights, and he has never been on the Tianshen! The task of the third brother is to drive a tank and combat vehicle to help the main army attack, and now we are in charge of the Eastern Army in addition to your carrier-based tank, but there is only one tank left for me, and the third brother has become more expensive! Li Ke's chubby and smiling appearance gave Li Zhi a lot of good impressions, and he could very well understand this brother's humility to him, which was very different from the-for-tat feelings of other brothers.
"The third brother has always been noble, it's just that you have a good temperament and don't like to fight and show off, my brother has heard my father use you to educate a few royal brothers in Chang'an over the years, third brother, don't be presumptuous." Li Ke seemed to think of something, praised a few words and said: "Speaking of which, your personality is very similar to your mother's concubine, a few years ago, I often heard the queen mother say that Concubine Yang in the harem is the most indisputable and the most industrious, and she is taking care of a large greenhouse in the palace, and now all year round, the vegetables eaten in the inner palace are all grown by Concubine Yang!" ”
Hearing Li Zhi talk about Concubine Yang, Li Ke's eyes showed a little longing, for more than ten years, he didn't have the opportunity to do his filial piety in front of this biological mother, it was really in vain to be a son of man, but the royal family is like this, very indifferent to family affection.
After gossiping for half an hour, Yang Lin finally walked out of Li Daozong's tent, and the conversation between the two Li Zhi brothers also stopped temporarily, and now Yang Lin is the boss of their two brothers, so the position of the clean stone pier was occupied by Yang Lin, and the two brothers squatted on both sides to listen to his latest instructions.
"The marching speed of the main army is too slow, it will take more than a month to walk from Chang'an to Yanshan, if you plunge headlong into the northern prairie, I don't know how long this battle will take! What do you two think? Yang Lin asked with a slight examination nature.
"Lure the enemy to attack."
"Needless to say, the decapitation operation!"
Yang Lin didn't expect that the two would answer their questions without thinking, thinking that they had thought about this matter in private. (To be continued.) )
