"Into town!"

Under Luo Shixin's order, the Tang army entered Liaodong City with great vigor and sent the good news back to Chang'an.

After attacking Liaodong, Luo Shixin did not rush into the army, but chose to retreat in Liaodong City.

Although they made great achievements in this series of battles and recovered Liaodong in one fell swoop, they also felt tired of fighting for a long time. Especially for the attack on Liaodong City, although there was only the final stage of the strong attack, the Tang army had the cover of artillery and strong bows and crossbow arrows, but it was inevitable to pay a certain number of casualties, and it was necessary to rest for a period of time to recover the best combat effectiveness.

Sharpening knives can also be used in this place.

During the period of recuperation, Luo Shixin, as the commander of the three armies, did not relax because of the recuperation, and constantly investigated Goguryeo's reaction after the loss of Liaodong City, and investigated the situation of the people in Liaodong City.

Investigating the movements of Goguryeo, Luo Shixin handed it over to Zuo Tiancheng and them, they had been dormant in Goguryeo for ten years, and they had their own intelligence network, and it was only appropriate for them to handle this matter. The situation of the people in Liaodong City was naturally handed over to Liu Renliang to deal with, he suffered a skin injury, but the blood flowed more, and his body was not as strong as a military general like Luo Shixin, so there were signs of coma, and the injury was not very serious, and he basically recovered during the attack on Liaodong.

As a famous minister of the later generation, Liu Renliang is both talented and civilian, that is, he has outstanding military strategy and has the level of governing the world. It is also very suitable for him to deal with the affairs of Liaodong.

It was also when he was resting in Liaodong that Luo Shixin also got the news that the 6th Army of the Water Army had broken through Beisha City.

Although Beisha City was built on a mountain and was steep on all sides, only the West Gate could be climbed, but Luo Shixin handed over most of all the siege equipment prepared in Youzhou to them, and most of the siege equipment used in the attack on Liaodong was built temporarily. With advanced technology and the courage of the Tang army, the city was finally conquered and the city was completely controlled.

"Great!"

Luo Shixin waved his fist, handed the newly arrived news to Xue Rengui, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Xue Rengui took it calmly, looked at it repeatedly, and muttered for a long time. Since he became Luo Shixin's personal guard, he has constantly instructed him in martial arts, and he has not shied away from suspicion in many military affairs, and even took the initiative to tell him all the more confidential information and listen to his opinions. Xue Rengui knew that Luo Shixin was interested in cultivating him, and he was moved in his heart, and he seized this hard-won opportunity to study harder.

After thinking for a long time about the map on the side, Xue Rengui said: "Beisha City is located near Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and controlling Beisha City can threaten Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. This is like a sharp knife stuck in the heart of Goguryeo, and we are now somewhat underwhelmed in troops. If Goguryeo were to fight with the whole country, there would still be a certain danger that the disparity in strength would be too great. But now that the city of Beisha is under the control of our army, this situation is different. Goguryeo had to send a part of its troops and horses to defend their capital, and a part of it to attack Beisha City. At the same time, they can't do anything, our army will attack the cities on their front line one by one, and we must send troops to support. In this way, their forces will be divided into three ways as we take the city of Beisha, and we will be able to break them one by one. ”

Luo Shixin smiled and praised: "It makes sense, in military affairs, you really have the same talent as I thought, and you have different talents." ”

Xue Rengui's hard work and hard work, he has seen it in his eyes these days. This Xue Rengui can become a legendary figure of a generation in the future, and he really has the potential to become a legend. This potential is not about their talent, but their natural character, their grasp of opportunity. Xue Rengui seized this opportunity very well and studied sincerely with his heart, which is more important than anything else.

One day later, Liu Renliang found Luo Shixin with the political governance plan he had drawn up in Liaodong.

Luo Shixin looked at the thick governance plan in his hand, sighed and said, "You can still understand my mind." "He is not in a hurry to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, it is a little bit to recuperate, and the real key is to appease the people. He was deeply worried about the situation in Liaodong, because when he entered the city, most of the people in the city did not look at them so friendly, and even had a little hatred, and their existence in Liaodong was even more unpopular than he imagined.

At this time, if he sent troops to Goguryeo to attack the Haidong Peninsula, Goguryeo was likely to rebel against the people of Liaodong and block them in their rear.

Luo Shixin was mentally prepared for such hostility to the people of Liaodong, after all, Liaodong had been occupied by Goguryeo for more than two hundred years. For more than 200 years, the local people have been under the rule of Goguryeo. Generations of their children have been educated in Goguryeo culture, and generations of young people must admit that they are Goguryeo if they want to get ahead. In the face of nearly two hundred years of brainwashing, the local people really realized that their ancestors were from the Central Plains, and they had the blood of the Central Plains people in their bodies, and there were really few such characters.

Of course, the most important thing is that Goguryeo has been really good in recent years, especially at the end of the fifth century, when Goguryeo Haotai succeeded to the throne, Goguryeo began to enter its heyday, they merged the northern Buyeo Kingdom and the Ya tribe, and the next few generations conquered Liaodong in the Central Plains, absorbing the culture of the Central Plains, and the country was very fast. Although Goguryeo was a king with some amazing talents, the exhibition in the territory was quite stable, and most of the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

It was not until the Sui Dynasty ruled the world that it began to demand neighboring countries as its vassals, and was recognized by most of them. Goguryeo was extremely ambitious, and even sent troops to Liaoxi, intending to further devour China's territory.

The battle between Sui and Goguryeo was also launched, and as the attacked side, the peace in Goguryeo was naturally broken. In particular, Yang Guang's three invasions, the three times hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the border, even if they did not win, it would be a devastating blow to Liaodong, the direct victim. The people wanted a life, and the Sui Dynasty was the wicked who ruined their lives. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and Liaodong also restored peace under the rule of Yuan Binzhi, but before the peace was ten years, the newly established dynasty of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty, invaded again.

Of course, this time it was not the Tang Dynasty that took the initiative to attack, it was indeed Goguryeo who took the lead in attacking Liaoxi and Youzhou, but where would the people care about this kind of detail, they just knew that it was the Tang Dynasty that broke their stable life.

As the commander of the three armed forces, Luo Shixin's consideration of the problem is not comparable to that of the original consideration as a general. As a general, you only need to take into account the current victory, and the manager has to look further and think about the big picture. The instability of the people in Liaodong is definitely a hidden danger that cannot be ignored. If this hidden danger is not solved, it will be difficult for him to continue the westward expedition with confidence.

Liu Renliang happened to perceive Luo Shixin's thoughts, and his governance of Liaodong was mainly to appease the people.

First bury all the soldiers who died in Liaodong, regardless of whether they are friends or enemies. Needless to say, our soldiers will send their comrades on the road with a heavy ceremony. Most of Goguryeo's soldiers were born in Liaodong, and they were buried alive. Especially for Yuan Binzhi's funeral, it should be treated solemnly. Yuanbin's town has guarded Liaodong for more than 40 years, he is upright, and he governs Liaodong in an orderly manner, which is very loved by the people of Liaodong, and can also give some psychological comfort to the people in the territory.

Secondly, publicize the reason for the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and show in detail that it was Goguryeo who took the lead in making enemies with the Tang Dynasty, not the war provoked by the Tang Dynasty, and pushed the crimes caused by the war to the side of Goguryeo. It happened that Goguryeo's Yuangai Su Wensheng coup d'état, and this black cauldron was given to him to carry it, which was just right.

Then, distribute food to help poor families, so that the people in the territory can have a bite to eat.

Finally, it shows that Liaodong is the territory of the Central Plains, and all the people in the territory are Chinese people, and a series of policies such as re-registering household registration, setting up official offices, opening roads, building villages, repairing dikes and dams, encouraging agricultural production, and building land temples for them.

Luo Shixin said suspiciously: "I have no opinion on what you said, this Yuan Binzhi is indeed a character, and it is indeed worth treating like this." There is no problem with public opinion. Since this Liaodong has been attacked by us, we have the obligation to be responsible for their food and clothing, after all, most of them are people born and raised in this place. We attacked Liaodong City and obtained 500,000 stone of grain and grass, which was enough to afford it. It's just that these policies can't be done in a short period of time, and we don't have that much time to deal with them. ”

Liu Renliang said: "Liaodong has been in decline for a long time, and if you want to change, you can't change it in a while. What we have to do at present is to save face, and the policy system cannot be implemented all at once, but we cannot but make an appearance. As long as we can reassure the people in our territory and not cause us trouble when we attack, this is what we need at the moment. How to govern this Liaodong, you have to let Your Majesty send the right people. ”

Luo Shixin said: "I will write a letter to Your Majesty, let him know about the situation here, and send a capable person over." ”

Luo Shixin captured Liaodong and recaptured the Chinese territory that had been lost for more than 200 years and blew to Chang'an like the wind, just as the Tang Dynasty's Western Route army broke the main force of Tuyuhun at Qinghai Lake, and two vigorous victories pushed the prestige of the rising dynasty of the Tang Dynasty to its peak.

The provocation faced by Datang this time is the biggest challenge to the world since the founding of Datang, and this challenge is also an opportunity. The Tang Dynasty is not strong enough, is it qualified to really sit firmly in the position of Tian Khan, all the eyes around are watching.

In this two-front battle, Datang can still achieve such brilliant results, and its strength is beyond doubt here.

"Happy, happy!"

Li Shimin flipped through the two battle reports that came from front to back, and couldn't help but take them out and flip through them when he had nothing to do, thinking that the two soldiers and horses under his command had won the victory over the enemy on the battlefield, and he really had an urge to be able to play in person. r1152
