Yuangai Suwen Mansion!

The bad news came one by one, like a slap in the face of Yuangai Suwen, who was full of ambition and ambition, since he was a child, he wanted to lead Goguryeo to glory like his grandfather Yuanziyou, and develop Goguryeo into a dynasty like the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. To this end, he single-handedly promoted the Triple Alliance of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Yamato, and together dealt with Silla and the Tang Dynasty.

From the very beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the sages of Goguryeo had already seen through a little, and the Three Kingdoms of Haidong were located in a corner of the country, without any development potential and prospects. The only chance for Goguryeo to become truly rich and strong was to expand westward. It is also because of this that they seized Liaodong, intending to use Liaodong as a stronghold to capture Youzhou and enter the Central Plains.

But it has never been successful, and the xenophobic plot unique to the Central Plains is not easy to break. For thousands of years, only the Yuan and Qing dynasties were able to break this plot, and they all did so with inhumane killings without exception.

With the rise of the Tang Dynasty, Baekje broke off diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and Silla became the only vassal state of the Three Kingdoms of Haidong that was blessed by the Tang Dynasty, and Goguryeo itself was in a predicament and was unable to develop.

To the west and the Tang Dynasty as the enemy, the invasion of Youzhou is undoubtedly an egg to hit the stone; Fight Silla as an enemy and recapture the Han River Valley: This Silla is not weak, and with the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, it is still not a wise decision; With Baekje as an enemy, Baekje is indeed not strong, but he recognized a good father, Yamato and Baekje were jointly sanctioned by the Tang Dynasty, just like brothers in drowning, connected to death, invading Baekje is equivalent to being an enemy of Baekje and Yamato, with the strength of one country, against the two countries, Goguryeo does not have an advantage.

Yuangai Suwen is very young, and as a young man, his greatest advantage is that he is full of courage. is ambitious, and the biggest drawback is also full of courage and ambition. I always want to do something far beyond my predecessors, so ambitious. Not steady enough. At the instigation of Hou Wu of Eulji, he intended to unite Baekje, Yamato, and Tuyuhun, who was far away in the sky, to block the Tang Dynasty, and gather the strength of the four countries to defeat the Tang Dynasty.

Yuangai Su Wenman thought that this move would bring Goguryeo out of the predicament, but found that the situation was far less rosy than they expected. In the face of the simultaneous attack of the four countries, Datang gave them an unexpected sharp counterattack, directly pulled up a two-front battle, and gave them these provocateurs power and color in the fastest and most direct way.

The reaction of the Tang Dynasty was unexpected. But they didn't worry much, but felt that the Tang Dynasty made a bad move, which would hasten their demise. The Tang Dynasty had a big business, and the economic situation could be detected as long as it was understood a little. The Tang Army, which was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, could not afford to fight for a long time, and it was even more difficult to support two-front operations...... As long as they can hold back the Tang Dynasty, just as they dragged down the Sui Dynasty back then, in less than a year and a half, the Tang army will follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty.

However, the situation was once again unexpected by them, and the two Tang armies broke into Tuyuhun all the way under the leadership of Li Jing, and the Tuyuhun who killed them had no power to fight back. On the other hand, Luo Shixin also took the camp step by step, eating their cities one by one and annihilating their army. Kill directly to their capital Pyongyang. Mo said that it dragged on to the Tang Dynasty for a year, and they didn't support it even for half a year.

Thinking of the Tang Dynasty under the arrival of soldiers in the city, Yuangai Suwen is now a head and two big.

As a man armed with five knives, Yuangai Suwen was under great pressure at the moment, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep since Luo Shixin demolished Jingguan.

"Mr. Yizhi, the Tang army is approaching the city with troops, how should we deal with the current situation?" Yuangai Suwen had already sensed the panic of the people of Pyongyang, and most of the military generals were confused in the face of the Tang army, which was so strong. There are only a few people who can really discuss with him, and Yizhi Hou Wu is undoubtedly the most important one.

Otozhi Hou Wu pursed his lips a little pale. Thinking about the current situation, there is a trace of regret in his heart: he tried his best to promote the four-nation alliance to resist the Tang Dynasty, just as Yuangai Suwen suspected, with a certain amount of selfishness. He wanted to avenge his father and brother who died tragically at the hands of Luo Shixin. At the same time, he understands the overall situation. Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was an emperor who worked hard to govern the country, and the Tang Dynasty could never be as short-lived as the Sui Dynasty, at least during the Zhenguan period under Li Shimin's leadership, the Tang Dynasty would only get stronger and stronger. Li Shimin is now only in more than 30 rooms, and if there is no accident, he will have a lifespan of more than 20 years. With the trend of the rise of the Tang Dynasty, it has developed for more than 20 years, and Goguryeo will not be able to catch up even if it takes 50 years. The gap between each other will only get bigger and bigger, if you say that the probability of winning the Tang Dynasty now and avenging your father is forty percent, ten years later it may only be two percent and one percent, and the longer the time drags on, the more slim it is, and only when the Tang Dynasty faces the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the vitality has not recovered, there is the possibility of revenge. He knew that the chance of revenge was less than half of the time, but he had the heart to gamble. Today, the wins and losses are obvious.

Seeing his country perish little by little because of his selfishness, Eulji Hou Wu was not very calm in his heart, and when he saw Yuan Gai Suwen asking for a plan, he made up his mind and said: "For today's plan, we can only defend Pyongyang all the way, and at the same time, we must also send a message to Yamato and Baekje to withdraw from the demand for the Silla territory, and whoever obtains the Han River basin first will own the Han River valley." ”

"How does this work?" Yuangai Suwen exhaled, his face was dissatisfied, and then he was stunned, but he nodded helplessly, and said, "That's it." ”

Under the city of Pyongyang, the camp of the Tang army.

In the dark night, the huge camp built by 100,000 Tang troops flashed a little fire from time to time in the dark night, peeking at Pyongyang City like a giant beast.

Luo Shixin led Xue Rengui to look at the calm Pyongyang, muttered for a long time, and asked, "How long do you think it will take me to storm this Pyongyang?" ”

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, Pyongyang is more majestic than Liaodong, although there are only 50,000 soldiers in the city, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city. And they are all real Goguryeo people, why do they protect their homeland, at a critical time, they are not without the strength to fight. To fight Liaodong, under the planning of the chief governor, our army spent 20 days. If you storm Pyongyang, it will take at least three times as long. ”

"Three times, sixty days!" Luo Shixin pondered in a low voice and nodded silently, this value is indeed similar to Xue Rengui's calculation, the value is only much higher. Goguryeo learned to be obedient this time, worried that Luo Shixin would once again adopt the tactics of besieging Liaodong, and at the beginning, he used the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, abandoning all the surrounding cities, defending only one city of Goguryeo, and gathering all his forces in Pyongyang. This also means that Pyongyang falls, Goguryeo falls, and the same offensive and defensive battle in Pyongyang will become a decisive battle that will determine the destruction of the country. In the face of such a decisive battle, the patriots of Goguryeo will resist desperately, and they will also encounter great resistance when attacking the city.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has been a battle in which life is exchanged for victory, so there is a saying that siege is the next battle.

Once the offensive and defensive battle of Pyongyang has begun, it is impossible to stop until the victory or defeat is decided, which is why Luo Shixin has not yet issued the order to siege the city: he does not want to trap 100,000 troops under this Pyongyang city unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Go and invite Manager Li, Manager Su, and Liu Changshi to me!" Luo Shixin thought about it again and again, and asked Xue Rengui to invite Li Daozong, Su Dingfang, and Liu Renliang, and asked people to prepare a mat to sit on.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the same time, and seeing that the three of them didn't feel sleepy at all, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "You didn't sleep either?" ”

Li Daozong looked at Pyongyang and said: "It's all come to this point, how can you sleep, and you're thinking about how to fight......

"I'm looking for you for this matter, let's sum it up, don't care about any etiquette, just talk about it as friends, talk casually." Luo Shixin sat down on the mat prepared in advance.

Most of them also understood Luo Shixin's character, and there was nothing polite, so they sat down one after another.

Luo Shixin first said to everyone: "In the past few days, I have personally thought a lot about how to attack this Pyongyang. Not long ago, I thought of myself as Yuangai Suwen and had a new idea. I suddenly found that Goguryeo no longer dared to send troops to fight us, what do you think? ”

These people called by Luo Shixin are all contemporary famous generals, who are wise and brave, and are generals who can lead the troops and horses alone, with excellent strategic vision and foresight. Zhang Shigui and Mo Hu'er are certainly generals, but it is difficult to talk to them about strategy.

"Why?" Li Daozong didn't react for a while and said: "As far as I know, Yuangai Suwen has been brave and good at fighting since he was a child, and he never leaves his body with a knife all the year round, with a long knife on his left and right waists, and three horse chopping knives hanging on his back. It is said that in a battle, he took the lead and cut all five knives on his body. Yuangai Suwen does not lack the courage to fight to the death......"

Liu Ren orbit: "Yuangai Suwen does not lack the determination to fight to the death, but Goguryeo lacks the capital to fight to the death. Wise eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, obviously thinking of it with Luo Shixin, and said with a smile: "The situation around the Three Kingdoms of Haidong is complex and ever-changing, and the Yamato Kingdom, Baekje, and Silla each have ghosts. I remember the Governor once said, 'There are no eternal friends between nations, only eternal interests'. The relationship between Goguryeo, Yamato, and Baekje seemed to be unbreakable, but when it came to interests, it was immediately full of holes. The main force of Goguryeo has exhausted us, and the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Pyongyang are the last troops of their entire country. Goguryeo is no longer the first power in Haidong, but the weakest country in Haidong, and even the alien races in the far north are stronger than them. But this weakest country has the treasure mountain of Taibai Mountain, who can look down? Goguryeo's remaining forces at the moment even have certain problems with self-preservation, why should he fight us? Now, even if he has a way to win against us, he has to weigh the price he has to pay, whether he can fight or not. ”

Li Daozong was stunned.

Su Dingfang's eyes lit up and said: "In the long run, it is impossible for Goguryeo to fight with us." If you want to get out of trouble, you can only turn to Yamato and Baekje...... Our enemies should be Yamato and Baekje, not Pyongyang. (To be continued)
