The biggest characteristic of Goguryeo is imitation, relying on all kinds of knowledge learned from the Han people to deal with them Han people, relying on the unique topography of Goguryeo, but it makes the Han people suffer.
Liaodong has been the territory of the Han people since the Han Dynasty, and now it is occupied by Goguryeo. Goguryeo has always had a deep uneasiness about this, especially with the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and the uneasiness in their hearts has also increased." They were naturally afraid of being attacked by the Han Chinese again, and although Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo was a joke, even if three million pigs were allowed to arch indiscriminately in Goguryeo's territory, it would cause a lot of damage.
Although Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo did not outweigh the losses, Goguryeo's life was not easy, and he also paid a certain price. Especially when Luo Shixin made a fuss, Goguryeo fell into inevitable civil strife, and its national strength and politics were greatly affected, and its strength was not as good as that of Goguryeo at its peak. Of course, Goguryeo has never won by strength.
In order to prevent the Han people from attacking again, Goguryeo once again imitated the knowledge of the Han people and built the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, used as a barrier for foreign invasions, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall has become a symbol for the farming people to resist the nomads, and there will be emperors in all dynasties to repair the city defense. In the hands of Goguryeo, the Great Wall became a weapon against their Han Chinese.
Taking advantage of the steepness of Liaoshui, they built a Great Wall near Liaoshui that blocked the east and west, and the Great Wall and Liaoshui reflected each other. Relying on each other, they form a line of defense that combines innate and acquired.
If the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses want to invade Liaodong. Recovering the territory of Liaodong, the Great Wall and Liaoshui were the first problems they encountered.
The Great Wall and Liaoshui are mixed into one. He was the youngest brother of the most outstanding patriarch of the Yuan family, Yuan Ziyou, who was the youngest brother of the Yuan family, and Yuan Ziyou resisted Yang Guang's 6,700,000 army under Liaodong City in the past, and later Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo for the third time, Yuan Bin's relatives led guerrilla soldiers and horses, and continued to ambush Yang Guang's army, cutting off their supply lines, forcing Yang Guang to be blocked in this expedition and Liaoshui, nearly a million troops did not even hit Liaodong. Subject to the west bank of Liaoshui.
After Eulji Wende died at the hands of Luo Shixin, Yuan Binzhi was the entire Goguryeo, and now he is the oldest and most brilliant general. Although he was a member of the Yuan clan, he did not participate in the internal struggle between the Yuan clan and the Goguryeo royal family, and was bent on guarding Liaodong to prevent the Han from seizing it. Because of this, Yuan Binzhi not only received the support of the Yuan clan, but the King of Goguryeo was also extremely friendly to him, supporting his proposal to repair the Great Wall in Liaoshui.
Since Yuan Binzhi led his troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, he has sent eyeliner eyes and ears to probe the movements of the Tang army.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected. In the face of Goguryeo's provocation, the Tang Dynasty really mobilized troops and horses to fight.
Judging from the recent information, the land and water army of the Tang Army has set out, and the target is directly aimed at the defense line of the Great Wall.
"Where is Tang Jun now?" Yuan Binzhi is over 60 years old this year. His beard and hair are all white, and he is not tall, but he is extremely strong. Between his eyebrows, he was not angry and arrogant, and he sat on the top of the military tent with a golden sword. It has the feeling that Huang Hansheng should be old and strong. On both sides of him are the civil and military generals, all of whom are capable officials promoted by Yuanbin's 45 years of guarding Liaodong.
Listen to Yuan Binzhi's question. A black-robed general on the right hand side responded: "It is estimated that the Tang army is afraid of us, their marching speed is extremely slow, but it is very steady, step by step, slowly advancing, today Fang has just passed through Yingzhou and officially entered the territory of Goguryeo." ”
"It's so slow!" Yuan Binzhi has been guarding Liaodong for forty-five years, and he is extremely familiar with every grass and tree in Liaodong, and he doesn't need to open the map to check the movement route of the Tang Army, just close his eyes, and a clear route map appears in his mind.
"I guess I'm scared!" A young and heroic general said with a smile: "Grandpa's battle back then, with less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, hundreds of thousands of Sui troops couldn't sleep at night, and they were so angry that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was like a toad. They didn't dare to repeat the mistakes of the past, they only dared to call slowly. As the grandson of Yuan Binzhi, Yuan Song is blessed with a good education, and has a good level in the military, but because of his youth and vigor, he has the drive of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Yuan Bin was calm and dignified at this age, shook his head silently, ignored his grandson's words, and said after a moment's silence: "Have you carefully investigated the movements of their navy?" ”
The black-robed general at the beginning said: "The last general has been paying attention, their navy has not moved, but has been practicing on the Bohai Sea until late at night every day, which is a bit strange. Maybe it's because their navy is not strong, so for the sake of insurance, let's train them first, and then go into battle when it's critical. ”
A soldier on the right said with a smile: "According to the information in our hands, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty dominated the cavalry with the Mo sword soldiers, but the naval army has never heard of it. Maybe it's because their navy is not strong, so for the sake of insurance, let's train them first, and then go into battle when it's critical. ”
The black-robed general shook his head and said: "I don't think it's so simple, the Tang Dynasty was still martial, they may not have put their minds on the water army, but the people in the Jiangnan area are good at boating, and the government soldier system used by the Tang Dynasty makes all the people receive military training." The fact that they do not attach importance to the navy does not mean that they lack the number of sailors. As long as the soldiers who are good at water in Jiangnan are gathered, supplemented by tactical training, they can be put into battle in a short time. Father-in-law, the last general thinks that Tang Jun's move is only afraid of other deep meanings. ”
Yuan Binzhi nodded with a smile, "My son's words coincide with his father!" ”
Yuan Song was dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't show it.
"I suspect that the Tang Dynasty navy is hiding people's eyes and ears, and their real navy has secretly sailed out of the Bohai Sea when we are not paying attention, waiting for the opportunity to move." Yuan Binzhi's expression was serious, they had occupied the land of Liaodong for two centuries, and in their opinion, Liaodong was already their Goguryeo holy and inviolable territory, and they had to use all means to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty invaders.
Shi's expression changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Could it be that the Tang Army is planning to break through our defense line by water?" Their massive army is just bluffing, but it is actually attacking the east and west, and the real purpose is Huaiyuan Town? ”
If Huaiyuan Town was obtained by the Tang Army, the Tang Army would be able to cross the Liaoshui without worries and break the Liaoshui defense line of the Great Wall.
This time, they resisted the Tang army, and their biggest reliance was the Great Wall and the Liaoshui defense line.
Whether the Tang army breaks through the Great Wall or crosses the Liaoshui, this front can be directed at Liaodong.
The importance of Huaiyuan Town is self-evident.
Goguryeo's troops are only more than 100,000 troops, and they have to defend the cooperation between Silla and the Tang Dynasty, and the national capital also needs troops to guard, and their troops guarding Liaodong are less than 50,000, if they face the attack of the Tang army's 100,000 troops on land and water, Huaiyuan Town's current defense strength will not be able to support it for even three days.
Yuan Song stood up and said: "Grandpa, give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I guarantee that the cunning Tang people will not be able to eat well." ”
Yuan Binzhi hesitated for a while, then looked at the black-robed general and said, "Xiegu, I will give you 10,000 soldiers, and everything in Huaiyuan Town will be handled by you." ”
The black-robed general glanced at Yuan Song, hesitated a little, and finally said in a deep voice: "I am willing to listen to my father-in-law's orders." ”
Yuan Song looked at the black-robed general with jealousy, and said nothing with an iron face.
Yuan Bin said: "As for the rest of us looking at the situation, now we just suspect that we can't be sure, the Great Wall here still needs to be careful, and we can't be careless." When we look at the situation and determine that the target of the Tang Army is in Huaiyuan Town, I am personally deploying troops to support and dismiss the meeting! ”
Just as everyone was about to leave, Yuan Binzhi said again: "Xiegu, you stay." ”
The black-robed general paused.
Yuan Song gritted his teeth and walked out of the big tent with a little anger.
The black-robed general sighed: "The father-in-law's love for the valley is unrequitable, but I am afraid that it will make the little boy unhappy." ”
Yuan Binzhitie's face was blue, and he snorted: "At a young age, you are so ambitious, you want to run without walking, what is the point." My son is incompetent, so he pins his hopes on his grandson. But he didn't want to develop his young master's temperament instead. Bombastic and anxious to express himself, who knows that even geniuses need to be tempered to shine in the world. What's more, he is only talented, far from being a genius. Compared with those dazzling generals in history, he is far behind. Among the generals of Liaodong, you are the most calm and resourceful, I am old, and there is no second person in Liaodong in the future besides you. ”
The black-robed general was moved: "If it weren't for my father-in-law who took the risk to take me in back then, how could there be today, and the great kindness and great virtue would not be repaid." I really don't want to go away from my father-in-law and grandchildren because of me as an outsider."
Yuan Binzhi said without hesitation: "You are my son, don't say anything outsider." Your father and I had a deep affection for each other, and we had no choice but to save him, so that he was brutally murdered by the tyrant Yang Guang. This is what I regret in my life...... At that time, I said to myself, you Hu Xiegu is my son of Yuanbin. You have the right to inherit the position of the soapy head brother. Let's go down, for my father, I have to carefully judge the movements of the Tang army, if we are sure that their target is Huaiyuan Town, I will personally bring troops to help. ”
The black-robed general shook himself and retreated.
After the end of this meeting, Yuan Binzhi sent people to reconnoiter the movements of the Tang army. Sure enough, it was found that the Tang army was huge on the surface, and the target was directly aimed at the defense line of the Great Wall, but in fact, every night it would secretly divide its troops to transfer thousands of soldiers and horses away from the large army, and march slowly along the shore of the Bohai Sea.
Yuan Binzhi got the information, and saw that the Tang army really used the bluff to attack the west, and knew the importance of Huaiyuan Town, so he did not hesitate to put the heavy troops on Huaiyuan.
An army of 40,000 surrounded Huaiyuan Town, and continued to use their most primitive but tried and tested defensive counterattack tactics.
