The city of Pyongyang, Goguryeo. ☆ → top ☆ → point ☆ → small ☆ → said,

Yuan Gai Suwen held the latest military meeting in his mansion, and generally speaking, this kind of military meeting of the highest scale should be presided over by the top leader of the country. However, in order to show that he was the supreme ruler of Goguryeo, Yongae Suwen did not hesitate to choose to hold this military conference in his mansion.

With the support of Baekje and Yamato, Yuangai Suwen staged a military coup to clear out a large number of henchmen of the king of Rongliu, Gao Jianwu, and slaughtered most of those who disobeyed him in the court.

**There is a famous saying that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and there is enough strength to fight a real regime.

Because of the Sui Dynasty's repeated attacks, Goguryeo formed a group of gate lord families with outstanding military achievements, carved up the military power originally held by the Goguryeo royal family, and formed a strange political situation in which the royal family managed government affairs and the gate lords and nobles held military power. And Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, because of his great ambitions, wanted to control the real power, intended to cut the feudal domain, and took the military power into his own hands. This move aroused the dissatisfaction of many powerful clans in Goguryeo, and the vast majority of the military commanders were on the side of Yuangai Suwen.

It is also for this reason that the key to the forcible killing of the Goguryeo monarch by Yuan Gai Suwen without causing a military disaster.

In order to achieve the dictatorship of Goguryeo, he killed hundreds of ministers who were inclined to remain the king in one fell swoop, and almost purged the ruling officials of Goguryeo. Then he appointed his trusted henchmen to important positions, and put Gao Jianwu's nephew, who was full of fat treasures, to the throne of the king of Goguryeo, and also canonized himself as the Great Mo Lizhi.

Da Mo was not a position in the Goguryeo official system. It is a kind of highest official position set up by Yuangai Suwen to replace the Great Pair of Lu. If it is said that Goguryeo's Da Zheng Lu is the prime minister, then the Da Mo Lizhi is beyond the nature of the prime minister. And he has the position of the best minister.

Yuangai Suwen purged most of the Goguryeo ministers, leaving only a few courtiers who were not well-defined. Today, a military meeting was held in the Da Mo Lizhi Mansion. I just want to see who has the courage not to come.

The result was very satisfying to Yuangai Suwen, and his iron-blooded methods were effective: the entire Goguryeo political arena was still active in the political arena of Goguryeo, and successively came to his Damoli branch mansion and recognized him as the uncrowned king of Goguryeo.

The meeting said that it was a meeting, but in fact, Yuangai Suwen was just showing off his current power and giving a few reassurances to all the ministers of civil and military affairs who were worried that the Tang Dynasty had already obtained Liaodong and was about to call the door, letting them know that they were not worried about the current situation at all, the Tang Dynasty was only temporarily victorious, and in the near future they would be like the Sui Dynasty in the past, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would become Jingguan again. They Goguryeo flaunted the fundamentals of force.

Many people saw that Yuan Gai Suwen was so confident, and they also left with peace of mind, and the real military meeting was held.

There are not many people, but they are all Yuangai Suwen's right-hand men and cronies.

Regarding the current situation, Yuangai Suwen did not have an expression that was under control, but a solemn face, and sighed: "I regret not being able to listen to Mr. 's good words at the beginning." Coveting the Han River basin has led to today's defeat, and I am ashamed to ......"

Yuangai Suwen lowered his arrogant head to the Yizhi Hou Wu beside him.

When Luo Shixin sent troops to Liaodong, Yizhi Hou Wu persuaded Yuangai Suwen to gather the strength of the whole country to deal with the attack of Luo Shixin of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that Yuangai Suwen didn't accept such a proposal. Yuangai Suwen was young and vigorous and very assertive, and although he greatly admired the intelligence of Hou Wu of Yizhi, he also saw that he was eager for revenge. It is believed that he has a selfish desire for revenge and does not take into account the interests of Goguryeo.

Repel the attack of the Tang Dynasty. It did not bring substantial benefits to Goguryeo, at best it was a commendable victory. But the seizure of the Han River basin is different. The secret of the water network in the Han River basin. The land is moist and extremely suitable for human habitation, so it has a large population and an extremely prosperous economy, and is known as the small Tianfu. The Han River basin is the richest place in the entire Haedong Three Kingdoms, and countless battles have been waged between Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje to belong to this Han River basin.

Initially, the Han River valley was under the control of Goguryeo, but the combined forces of Silla and Baekje took advantage of Goguryeo's weakness to seize the Han River valley and divide it.

Goguryeo has always been obsessed with the Han River Valley, and this time the Three Kingdoms conquered Silla, Silla was in internal and external difficulties, and it was bound to be difficult to resist the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, and it was the best time to recapture the Han River Valley. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, Yuangai Suwen had absolute confidence in his uncle, believing that his strategy was enough to support him after he conquered the Han River Valley.

However, it turned out that he was a little naïve, Yuan Binzhi was indeed a character, but it was not enough to resist the great heavenly soldiers led by Luo Shixin, and the entire territory of Liaodong fell in a short period of time. Faced with such a situation, Yuangai Suwen also had to pull down his face and say some words of comfort to Yizhi Hou Wu.

Yizhi Hou Wu was as Yuan Gai Suwen thought, with the selfish intention of revenge, even he couldn't imagine that Luo Shixin was so powerful, Yuan Binzhi was a Goguryeo general, in the face of him, there was not much room to fight back, and he didn't hold it up, so he bowed his head and said: "My subordinates didn't expect that Luo Shixin was so good, and he walked in front of us step by step, so that he lost the opportunity." It is not long before he will lead his troops to attack, although we have lost Liaodong, but we have not broken our muscles and bones, and have lengthened their battle line, and we still have a great chance of winning. ”

"Sir is right!" A strong man with a rough face and a short body but extremely capable said: "In my opinion, we will simply give up the outer city and throw Anshi City to Luo Shixin for a headache." If Luo Shixin can't take Anshi City, we can march on the left and right and crush them in one fell swoop when they are tired from attacking the city. If Luo Shixin can take Anshi City, it will not be a bad thing. At least we have been removed from a big problem of henchmen, and we can stretch the battle line a little longer, just like the military god broke the 300,000 Great Sui back then, attacking their grain routes, making them unable to continue, and finally defeated. ”

Yuangai Suwen glanced at Ai Jiang, thinking about his idea.

Yizhi Hou Wu shook his head at this time and said: "I don't approve of this, my thoughts are the same as General Gao's." Use Yang Wanchun's ability to help us deal with Datang, the difference is that we can't hold Yang Wanchun back, but we have to do our best to support him. Give him soldiers, give him food, let him play to his strength. Yang Wanchun's ability Mo Lizhi should know that the current situation, unless Mo Lizhi personally stepped out, he was the only one who could resist Luo Shixin. In the face of this kind of crisis for the family and country, I think Yang Wanchun should know very well what he does. Maybe Mo Lizhi can ease relations with him because of this, it is not necessarily, Mo Lizhi wants to become the overlord of the Three Kingdoms of Haidong and develop westward, and Yang Wanchun is indispensable. ”

Yuangai Suwen's expression was complicated, and there was a certain entanglement in his eyes when he looked at Yizhi Hou Wu.

Yang Wanchun is somewhat unknown in Goguryeo, but no one who really knows him underestimates his existence. Yang Wanchun was born in a very ordinary family in Goguryeo, but he was studious since he was a child, and he had great ambitions at a young age, and left home to study at the age of fifteen, leaving Goguryeo to study in Sui, and impressed the Confucianism of Youzhou with his hard work. In addition to studying Confucianism, Yang Wanchun was very interested in military affairs, and constantly collected the tactics of war handed down by various sages in the Central Plains, and studied them hard. In particular, "Wu Zi's Art of War" is the most proficient and has obtained the essence.

When Yang Guang first conquered Goguryeo, Yang Wanchun returned to his homeland to join the Liaodong Army, and won the respect of Yuan Ziyou, the most outstanding patriarch of the Yuan family, with his outstanding performance, and married him with his beloved daughter, and said to everyone: "If this son is reused, his future achievements will be above me." ”

Yang Wanchun did not become a member of the Yuan clan because of the importance of Yuan Ziyou, but because he learned the way of loyalty and patriotism, he was very close to the Goguryeo royal family, and he intersected with the Goguryeo military god Eulzhi Wende, and became a friend who forgot his year. Yizhi Wende also sighed after arguing with him: "Yang Wanchun can be compared to Han Xin and Bai Qi in the Central Plains. ”

However, because Yang Wanchun became the core figure of the Goguryeo royal family, he has been resisted by the Yuan clan and is unknown in Goguryeo.

At the beginning, Luo Shixin killed Eulzhi Wende, which stirred up a great upheaval within Goguryeo, and Yuangai Suwen was afraid of Yang Wanchun and did not dare to act rashly.

A few years ago, he launched a coup d'état, and immediately led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Anshi City, which Yang Wanchun guarded, to eradicate the trouble of his henchmen, but Ren could not shake Anshi City in the slightest.

Under the command of Yang Wanchun, Anshi City is like an iron bucket, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

Yuangai Suwen had no choice but to let Anshicheng ignore it.

Yang Wanchun does have great talents, and he is also a general who is urgently needed in the hands of Yuangai Suwen, but there is a huge problem with loyalty.

Yizhi Hou Wu continued: "Yang Wanchun was deeply influenced by Confucianism in the Central Plains, and he had a family and a country in his heart. This country is in the front, and the grievances are in the back, and with his thoughts, he must weigh the relationship rationally. As long as he accepts our support, he also invisibly acknowledges the current power of Mo Lizhi. ”

Yuangai Suwen got up and said: "Okay, according to what Mr. said, use Anshi City as the line of defense to defeat the invading Tang army." ”

**********

Liaodong!

Luo Shixin looked at the military map on the side with his feet held high, he ignored the several cities that stood in front of him along the way, and stared at the most critical stronghold leading to Pyongyang City...... Anshi Castle!

In his memory, Li Shimin's Eastern Crusade was to stop at the city of Anshi, and Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, was extremely good, and he was very good at the art of war, and he showed a very high level in both defense and offense. In the end, Li Shimin, who was an opponent, appreciated Yang Wanchun, and when he withdrew the army, he specially gave 100 pieces of silk as a reward. (To be continued......)
