The Goguryeo rebels were such a bunch of unlucky people. "The overlord of beggars? What is that? - Still a beggar! - The main force of the rabble of the classic lines of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier"? What is that? - or a rabble. The Goguryeo rebels are a rabble.

Since the Goguryeo rebels set off an anti-Tang movement, all the rounds of fighting with the Tang before and after have been undefeated and without bright spots. Calling them "army" really insults the name "army" and even exalts them. When the rabble encounters the fierce soldiers, the result can be imagined.

"Li Jinxing defeated the Goguryeo rebels at the Gulu River, captured thousands of people, and the rest went to Silla." ”

This is the record of "Zizhi Tongjian", which is not detailed enough, and the "New Tang Dynasty Book" supplements: the history book of "Ten Thousand Captures" does not record the process of the battle in detail, which means that the battle is one-sided without suspense; If there is no suspense on one side, it means that the warring parties are not at the same level at all; If it is not a level, it means that the rebels have lost badly; If you lose badly, it means that the battle process is very neat; It's neat, then it doesn't deserve to be recorded in the annals of history at all...... Get!

This is coming back around! From then on, the so-called "Restoration Movement" of Goguryeo, which lasted for four years in 669 AD, was a complete failure.

So Pyongyang (Goguryeo) was devastated and unable to fight for the army, and Xiang led to Silla. Fan four years is peaceful" - "New Tang Dynasty Book" Dongyi Goguryeo really died! Li Jinxing perfectly pulled the curtain of history for Goguryeo.

But, wait, Li Jinxing is not as good as we see, the domestic historical materials have been concealed, and Li Jinxing suffered a defeat next, and it was a many, big defeat!

"September of the thirteenth year of King Wenwu (i.e., 673 AD,...... The Tang soldiers and the Khitan soldiers came to invade the north, and in nine battles, our soldiers overcame them, and beheaded more than 2,000 (hundred) ranks. "The Tang soldiers drowned, Wang Feng Erhe, the dead are incalculable." These two records are from the foreign historical material "History of the Three Kingdoms".

What's going on? Find out what's next, and listen to the next breakdown! "In September of the thirteenth year of King Wenwu (i.e., 673 A.D.). …… The Tang soldiers and the Khitan soldiers came to invade the north, and in nine battles, our soldiers overcame them, and beheaded more than 2,000 (hundred) ranks. Tang Bing drowned, Wang Feng Erhe. The dead are innumerable. ”

- "Records of the Three Kingdoms" Silla Benji Volume 7 I will roughly translate: In September 673 AD (after the Battle of the Gulu River), Gao Kan led the Tang soldiers, Li Jinxing led the Jin soldiers and Khitan soldiers to attack the northern border of Silla, and after nine battles, I Silla defeated the Tang army and beheaded 2,000 or 200 people. I don't know. Then, the Tang army drowned many people in the Langqi River and Wang Feng River, and they can't be counted.

This is the only record of Zài historical materials in Silla, and there are no domestic historical materials such as "Zizhi Tongjian", "New and Old Tang Books" and so on!

This is not in line with the style of Chinese historians, although Chinese historians occasionally have personal factors when recording history, but basically do not hide their defeats, at most they are more inky about victories, and they will not mention defeats without mentioning them, such as the defeat of Dafeichuan. Chinese historians are irresponsible. Then let's believe what Silla has to say!

I believe it, but I can't believe it all! Be skeptical and critically discover the truth! The laxity of the "History of the Three Kingdoms" made me suspicious, "more than two thousand (hundred) beheadings".

Is it two thousand, or two hundred? The records of Silla are all ambiguous, and the numbers differ tenfold, how do you make us believe them? If 2,000 of the 40,000 Tang troops were beheaded, plus the "invincible" of being disabled, missing, and drowning, then the losses of the Tang army in this battle would not be small, and the main force of Silla (at least 50,000) would be the battle.

Good question comes out. The losses of the Tang army were "incalculable", and the other side was the main force of Silla that had just won a big victory, so the Tang army should withdraw and recuperate at this time. However, the "History of the Three Kingdoms" revealed a flaw: "In winter, the Tang soldiers attacked Goguryeo Niucen City. Descend it. The Khitan and Yan soldiers attacked Dayang City and Tongzi City and destroyed them. ”

The Tang army, which had suffered heavy losses, immediately launched another large-scale attack, and surrendered one city and destroyed two! answer

came out: either "The History of the Three Kingdoms" is nonsense, or the Tang Army is all "heavenly soldiers and generals"! The truth is revealed, however, not too absolutely. The truth of the matter may be that the Tang Army's offensive failed, and it is not impossible to make a slight adjustment and then launch another attack.

But it's definitely not the defeat that the "History of the Three Kingdoms" says! Well, it doesn't matter whether the battle was true or false, what matters is what happened after the war, and the Silla historian recorded this very clearly: "The remnants of Goguryeo led the way to Silla"!

The so-called remnants of Goguryeo are actually Goguryeo rebels! The Goguryeo rebels, as the sworn enemies of the Tang Dynasty, fled to Silla after being defeated, and as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Silla should have brought them to justice or sent them to the Tang Dynasty to be punished by the Tang Dynasty.

But Kim Famin did not do this, but "rebelled against Goguryeo", and this was just the beginning,

The latter practice further confirms Jin Famin's determination to confront Datang to the end. It's so arrogant! This is clearly against my Datang! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Count the old and new hatreds together!

It's time! In the first year of the Tang Dynasty (674 AD), the Tang Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, who could not bear it anymore, decided to send troops to clean up this former ally Silla, who had been repeatedly, repeatedly, and repeatedly.

"In the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, in the spring, the first month, and the noon, Liu Renliang, the third product of the left concubine and the third grade of the Tongzhong Shumen, was the general of Jilin Road, and Li Bi, the general of the right leading army, sent troops to fight against Silla."

Emperor Li ruled by edict to depose Jin Famin's first qiē title, and set up Kim Famin's younger brother, who was an official in the Tang Dynasty, the general of the right Xiao guard, and Kim In-wen, the prince of Linhai County, as the new king of Silla, and set out with the army to conquer Silla, and after conquering Silla, he became king on the spot!

Depose the king who was proclaimed by himself, it can be seen that Li Zhi is still quite angry at what Jin Famin did, you have to pay the price for betraying my trust!

Datang's anger! What is the new hatred and old hatred of the Tang Dynasty sending troops to Goguryeo? The new hatred "Nagoguryeo rebels" also, the old hatred "according to the hometown of Baekje" also! Originally, due to lack of energy, it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to deal with the war on the eastern and western fronts at the same time, so it temporarily acquiesced to Silla's occupation of Baekje's hometown, after all, no matter how much territory you Silla occupied, you couldn't escape the tight spell of my Tang vassal state.

But Kim Famin is an insatiable wolf who has a long desire for Shu, a little Baekje can't satisfy his appetite, and he still wants to eat Goguryeo and realize his great cause of unifying the Korean Peninsula!

After the Goguryeo rebels defected to Silla, Kim Famin not only did not punish them, but treated them favorably. And in September of that year (674 AD), he canonized An Sun, the nominal leader of the Goguryeo rebels, as the king of Baodeok!

As a politician, as the king of a country, there is absolutely no canonization for no reason! Its purpose must be to use Anshun as the banner. Continue to gather the remnants of Goguryeo to set off an anti-Tang rebellion! His wolf ambition is obvious!

My Tang Dynasty was originally restrained by Tubo on the Western Front, and it was not easy to clean up the Goguryeo rebellion, but you Jin Famin blatantly added chaos to me, if you don't send troops to beat you, then you really have no one in my Tang Dynasty. Left to your own devices?

The commander of the army has been decided, the new king has been decided, so let's send troops! However, both Chinese and foreign historical sources show that in the next nearly a year, the Tang army did not attack Silla.

Rather, it was not until February of the following year (i.e., 675 AD) that he entered Silla. How long did it take to prepare for the war? Definitely! Pre-war preparation is only one reason, but what are the others? It's two people! These two men led the Tang Dynasty to delay the launch of the attack on Silla.

The first person, Jang Wenjun (瓘, pronounced guàn) "Silla rebellion." General Gaozong sent troops to fight for it. Zhang Wenjun...... He said: 'Compared to the border of Tibet, the soldiers are in the border area, although Silla is not immediately obedient, the division does not invade internally. If the east and the west are all in charge, the ministers are afraid that the people will not be able to bear the evils. Please rest the army and cultivate virtue to appease the people. 'Gaozong followed. ”

- The thirty-fifth meaning of the "Old Tang Book" is that Silla rebelled, and the emperor wanted to send troops to crusade against it, but Zhang Wenqian advised that now Tubo was on the border and heavy troops were gathering on the border, although Silla did not obey, but its army could not defeat the Tang Dynasty. If the east and west sides go to war at the same time, I am afraid that the people will not be able to bear the heavy military service. And then, and then the emperor agreed. Zhang Wenjun, who is it?

At that time, he was the Huangmen squire, the prince's left concubine, Dali Qing, and the prime minister (prime minister). Absolutely important minister.

However, the most powerful thing about this Zhang Wenqian is not how big an official he is, but what he says is very effective, down to the civil and military officials, up to the emperor, if there is no his opinion. It is absolutely impossible to make a decision! "Whenever there is a major event in the imperial court, the lord will ask the ministers: 'Have you discussed with Wen Qian?' Those who play the clouds will be sent to plan together. Those who have already discussed the clouds can be reported from it. - The thirty-fifth biography of the "Old Tang Book" means: Whenever there is something in the country, the emperor asks the minister if he has discussed this matter with Zhang Wenjun, and if not, then go back to discuss with him.

If it has already been discussed, then it will be agreed directly. This is not strange, why did the emperor obey Zhang Wenjun, he said that if he doesn't fight now, then he can't fight, Zhang Wenjun must be right! Compared with Zhang Wenjun, the opinion of this second person is more important.

The second person, Wu Cao (pronounced zhào), that is, Wu Zetian, was the queen of the dynasty. "In the first year of Shangyuan, (Wu Zetian) entered the number of days, and suggested twelve things: first, persuade Nongsang and Bo Fuxi; Second, give the third auxiliary land; Third, stop the army and moralize the world; Fourth, ",......" - the first concubine of the "New Tang Dynasty Book", everyone can read the third article, "rest the army, moralize the world".

At this time, most of the decision-making power of the Tang Dynasty state affairs has fallen into the hands of Wu Zetian, the queen of heaven, she spoke, not to mention Liu Renliang, even the emperor, she has to listen.

One was to raise objections on the grounds that there should be no war on the eastern and western fronts at the same time, and the other was to raise objections on the grounds that they wanted to "convince people with virtue."

One left arm and one right arm, opposing at the same time, so Gaozong Li Zhi also hesitated, and did not let the army go out for the time being! Of course, the fact of Silla lawlessness is there, it only increases, not decreases, and if you don't clean up today, it doesn't mean that you will never be cleaned up! Debts must be paid! I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth!

The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die! Sooner or later, Datang will go to clean up Silla, and Silla also knows that the Tang army will come sooner or later, but he doesn't know when he will come. The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die! Dare to touch the tiger's butt, if the tiger doesn't bite you back, it's not a tiger

Datang is just such a tiger, Jin Famin knows it very well in his heart! In the year when the Tang Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi hesitated, Jin Famin was not idle, in order to deal with the upcoming Tang army, he strengthened his armaments, held two large-scale military parades to boost the morale of the Silla soldiers, and practiced combat formations, busy preparing for the upcoming war.

(A.D. 674), in August, the Great Reading was held at the foot of Xibrother Mountain." (A.D. 674), in September, the military parade on the front road of Xinglingmiao Temple, Guana Xue Xiudao Six Formations of the Art of War" - "The History of the Three Kingdoms" is hesitant here, and the strong army training over there is hot! Jin Famin, your efforts will not be in vain, and Datang will test the effectiveness of the training for you free of charge.

※Battle of Ada Castle 675 AD, Chun, Silla, Ada Castle. Ada City, located in the Imjin River basin on the northern border of Silla, borders the hometown of Goguryeo of the Tang Dynasty, and is under the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty to the north, which belongs to a bridgehead of Silla facing the Tang Dynasty.

If the Tang army attacked Silla by land, this was the place where the first battle was fought. Silla attaches great importance to Ada Castle, and the military commander stationed in this city is Sona, who is not a simple figure. Speaking of Suna, I have to talk about his father first - "Silla Flying General" Shen Na.

During his lifetime, Shen Na led his troops to garrison Baekseong-gun, Silla, which is located on the border between Silla and Baekje, and Shen Na was stationed here at a time when Silla and Baekje were fighting for many years.

Whenever there is an armed conflict between the two countries on the northern front, the battle basically starts from here, this Shen is born with divine power and strong martial arts, and every time he fights, he charges on the front line, as long as he leads the team, he is invincible. In addition to his strong martial arts, Shen Na also has a unique skill, as light as a swallow, quick to move, quick to react, and good at dodging.

When you fight with such a person, you can only be cut off, and there is absolutely no chance of cutting him. Therefore, after a long time, the Baekje soldiers were scared and basically ran away when they saw him. So much so that at that time, the Baekje soldiers had a consensus: "Shen Na is still alive, and Mo is close to Baicheng." "It means that as long as Shen Na is still alive, don't fight Baicheng County's idea.

As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog! Under the influence of his father, Su Na also slowly grew into a fierce general of Silla, and the history records that "Su Na is a heroic man with a father's style", and his brave wind is definitely not under his father, but is better than the blue, and is good at archery.

So he slowly became famous, and his fame became more and more famous. Therefore, when Jin Famin decided on the choice of the military commander to defend the city of Ada City, the governor of the new Luohan Prefecture recommended Suna (to be continued. )
