Chapter 8: The Four Nations Attack

Li Shimin poured bitter water, how unbearable he said, in fact, he still enjoyed this feeling. As he said, the Datang treasury is not surplus, but as Luo Shixin said, Datang is developing rapidly and its economic income is very high. It's just that these high incomes have allowed Li Shimin to invest in places worth investing. It is precisely because of these investments that Datang has been able to develop talents quickly and quickly.

The terrifying development speed of the Tang Dynasty has a great impact on the surrounding foreign countries, and the stronger the Tang Dynasty, the more peaceful and obedient they are.

Except for Tuyuhun, which involved its own interests, it was at odds with the Tang Dynasty, and there was no country that was not friendly with the Tang Dynasty.

Even Goguryeo, who had a great enmity with the Central Plains, showed favor to the Tang Dynasty again, constantly hoping to improve their relations with each other.

Li Shimin has always thought in his heart that the Liaodong land that belongs to them is being occupied by Goguryeo, but Liaodong is bitter cold and is not within the development scope of the Tang Dynasty. Datang's current economy is already tight, and it will not fight a worthless battle.

Spending manpower, financial and material resources to get Liaodong back is not beneficial to Datang.

Good steel needs to be used on a good blade, and with Li Shimin's utilitarian heart, he will never do such a thankless thing at this time. When the Tang Dynasty is rich and the treasury is full, Liaodong will be taken back, and Goguryeo will be destroyed by the way, that is.

At present, Li Shimin has no intention of making enemies with Goguryeo, and Goguryeo is also knowledgeable, and the relationship with each other is also good.

Li Shimin accidentally heard about the Goguryeo Jingguan yesterday, and happened to meet Luo Shixin, so he asked. Among them, Luo Shixin was the only one who had really been to Goguryeo.

Luo Shixin nodded a little silently. Jingguan he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but he had heard it from those friends who still lived on Changbai Mountain. Jingguan is the pain of their lives. It is precisely because of the existence of Jingguan that they will choose to continue to live in Changbai Mountain.

The so-called Jingguan is to show off martial arts. A high mound made of gathering enemy corpses and sealing the earth.

Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo that year, mobilized the military power far superior to Goguryeo, and attacked the soft with stones, but with his command level of exterminating humanity, Goguryeo was defeated. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, and Goguryeo piled up the bones of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to show off the fact that they defeated the strong with the weak and the Sui Dynasty.

How terrifying it is to build a view of the capital built by hundreds of thousands of bones. It is also a great shame for the Han people.

"I haven't seen Jingguan with my own eyes, but I heard those left Sui soldiers in Changbai Mountain say that Jingguan is a place where Goguryeo remembers the merits of its ancestors. There was an endless stream of incense, and the purpose was not to worship the corpses, but to pay tribute to the great deeds of the savior of their country. There are characters such as Yuanziyou, who is difficult to resist the size of a million Sui troops in Liaodong, and Yizhi Wende, who broke 300,000 Sui soldiers. According to them, Goguryeo would go to Gyeongkan to worship every time there was a grand ceremony. Luo Shixin didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he heard Zuo Tiancheng and them say this, his lungs were about to explode. At that time, I thought that if he could lead the army to Goguryeo in the future. Goguryeo had to pay the corresponding price.

Even after many years of this incident, when Li Shimin mentioned it at this time, Luo Shixin was still indignant and said: "The fiasco of the Sui Dynasty back then was all caused by Yang Guang's foolish blind command. Countries with bigger farts. I really think I'm a piece of material. "For Yang Guang, Luo Shixin didn't have much ill feelings, but for his expression in the battle of conquering Goguryeo." The word "idiot" is indeed well deserved. It was because of his "excellent" performance that the situation of hitting a stone with an egg turned into an egg cracking a stone.

Li Shimin nodded quietly and said, "The situation in the past." It doesn't help to go into the details. The current Goguryeo monarch, Gao Jianwu, still respects my Tang Dynasty. Later, I will personally order Gao Jianwu to demolish Jingguan and send the bones of those soldiers back to my Tang Dynasty. so that their souls can return to their homeland and not be exiled. ”

Luo Shixin hurriedly praised: "Your Highness is benevolent, if this matter is successful, it will become a beautiful talk after all." ”

Li Shimin also smiled smugly, since he said this, he still had great confidence in the success of the matter in his heart. From Gao Jianwu's attitude towards Datang, Li Shimin obviously sensed that the other party was willing to rely on Datang and use the power of Datang to deal with the Quanchen Yuan clan. This is a matter of asking for people, and naturally there is a certain price to pay.

However, Li Shimin miscalculated this time.

Gao Jianwu received Li Shimin's instructions and came to his confidant Yizhi Hou Wu to discuss whether he should listen to Li Shimin's words and demolish Jingguan.

Yizhi Hou Wu had already lost confidence in Gao Jianwu's "weakness", but now seeing that he really had the intention of demolishing the Beijing Temple, he was even more contemptuous and strengthened his determination to oppose Gao Jianwu.

Goguryeo has the power of the military with powerful ministers in control of the army, and there is the support of Baekje and Japan outside, and there are traitors inside, and there is no way to retreat. When Gao Jianwu decided to demolish Jingguan, the Yuan clan patriarch Yuan Dazuo made a decision under the persuasion of his son Yuan Gai Suwen, and the first strike was strong, on the grounds that the monarch was weak and incompetent, with the secret assistance of Baekje and Japan, he killed Gao Jianwu and supported the ministers who dealt with him by thunderous means, and then set up Gao Jianwu's nephew Gao Baobao as the king, completely changing the situation of Goguryeo.

Gao Baobao was just a puppet, and the Yuan clan successfully controlled the power of Goguryeo by virtue of the political foundation laid by Yuan Ziyou back then.

Yuan Dazuo is slightly modest, and Yuan Gai Suwen is in charge of all matters.

Yuangai Suwen is not very old, but he is young and vigorous, a newborn calf, and his temperament is particularly aggressive. constantly and sternly rejected Li Shimin's request, and on the day of Gao Baobao's accession to the throne, he celebrated the general trend in Beijing, and slapped Li Shimin hard.

When the news reached the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's beard was crooked, and he muttered that he wanted to send troops to fight Goguryeo, and he wanted Yuangai Suwen to know that it was powerful.

Luo Shixin didn't expect the sudden change in the situation, and he understood Li Shimin's reaction: This girl was looking for himself to go down the stairs, and Yuan Gai Suwen slapped him in the face, if he was indifferent, it would hurt his face, and he could only come to a show.

Sure enough, when the civil and military officials learned of Li Shimin's intentions, they persuaded one after another.

Li Shimin also "reluctantly" agreed here.

For not fighting, Luo Shixin can understand that Goguryeo is indeed a difficult country to deal with, not to mention Yang Guang, even if it is his son Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui. The army of 300,000 people also touched a nose of dust in Goguryeo? Not to mention Yang Guang's several million-strong army......

As long as people with a little foresight can analyze that the Tang Dynasty is sending troops to fight Goguryeo at the moment, it may not be impossible to win, but the gains outweigh the losses.

However, the development of events is becoming more and more uncontrollable......

Li Shimin endured here, hid his anger in his heart, and waited for it to explode in the future. He hadn't settled accounts with Goguryeo yet, and Goguryeo had already led his troops from Liaodong into Youzhou one step ahead, bringing a lot of losses to Youzhou.

Before the matter on Goguryeo's side was over, Tuyuhun actually attacked Gansu again, and the naval forces of Baekje and Japan crossed the sea in the east, and they forcibly landed in Dengzhou and swept the surrounding areas.

There is Duan Zhixuan in Gansu, and he has not been affected much, Youzhou is the border defense line of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still troops stationed on the border defense line, and they have successfully blocked the invasion of Goguryeo.

Only in the area of Dengju, because the Baekje and Japanese allied forces came across the sea, they were caught off guard and paid a lot of losses.

The Tang Dynasty, which was thriving and planned to recuperate, was attacked by four surrounding countries, and the whole country was in an uproar and the country was shaken......

In view of this situation, Li Shimin convened several emergency meetings to discuss the matter.

On this day, Li Shimin once again gathered important members of the army to discuss the current situation.

"No......" Li Jing looked at the details that had been delivered to Chang'an, and saw the trickiness in it, or in the face of Li Jing's shocking military level, there was nothing to hide from the conspiracy and tricks, he said: "There are huge problems with the number of casualties and the way of fighting!" ”

"This Tuyuhun is a descendant of Xianbei Murong, originally a grassland people, a tribe that is good at riding and shooting, and their army has extremely high mobility, which is not inferior to the Turks and Tiele who come and go like the wind. However, they are different from nomadic people, although they have been infected by a lot of culture in the Western Regions of the Central Plains for many years, they have gradually given up their nomadic life to focus on farming, and they can be self-sufficient, and do not need to rely on raiding to make a living. They are enemies of our Tang Dynasty because of the Silk Road, and logically speaking, even if they attack, there is no reason to choose Gansu, but the Liangzhou generation. They are always making a situation that threatens the Hexi Corridor, so that the merchants who come and go from east to west feel that the Hexi Corridor is not safe, so they take the Qinghai Road instead. Unless he has the intention of capturing Gansu, there is no reason to send troops to Gansu. Speaking of this, he paused and said: "No matter from the style of play or the tactics adopted, there is no intention to fight Gansu. The monarch of Tuyuhun can take advantage of the situation to use Qinghai Dao to develop and rise Tuyuhun, and his ability cannot be underestimated, so he will not be stupid. There is also Goguryeo, they inexplicably sent troops to attack the weakest point of our Youzhou, and when our border army mobilized the people to rescue, the other party left immediately, and they didn't entangle at all, but just ate a tail. There is no half-point table xiàn what intentions they want...... Then there was Baekje, Yamato...... They came across the sea and caught us off guard. However, after the local government soldiers organized a counterattack, they disappeared again. The four countries have similar playing styles, and the purpose is obvious. ”

Li Shimin's face was solemn.

Fang Xuanling said: "They are trying to drag us down and let us fight on three sides, exhausted and exhausted, like Sun Wu's exhaustion accident." ”

"They are taking a fancy to my Datang's weak successor!" Luo Shixin remembered the bitterness that Li Shimin vomited some time ago, and secretly thought: This move is ruthless enough, it is completely staring at the weakness of Datang.

"Now that they've set up a position, let's fight!" Luo Shixin said at this time: "If you destroy them, you won't be able to come up with a conspiracy." (To be continued......)
