904, where you fall, get up (above)
The army did not rest for long in Youzhou, so they continued to march, and then went northeast, and then soon they arrived at Liaodong City. Liaodong City is also the border area between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, and the Goguryeo people gave up the small cities west of Liaodong City and concentrated their forces to defend Liaodong City. And if the Tang Dynasty wants to break through and destroy Goguryeo, this Liaodong City is a place that cannot be ignored. Therefore, Li Shimin also stationed near this Liaodong City, and the banner of the 100,000-strong army fluttered, and then he was ready to attack Liaodong City at any time.
In addition, there are 30,000 coalition troops of the Xi tribe and the Yan tribe, all of whom are also here to help the Tang Dynasty fight. They wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Goguryeo and reclaim their so-called land. But they didn't know that they were destined to be a bunch of cannon fodder, and then consume their strength out of thin air, and then destroy them with a false way.
And everyone looked at Liaodong City, and their hearts were full of emotion.
"In that year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, and millions of troops attacked Liaodong City, but he could not capture Liaodong for a long time, and finally he could only send 300,000 military regions to attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. After that, the 300,000 army was cut off by Echiwende, and the soldiers starved for three days to fight the enemy and were slaughtered one after another! And this battle made Goguryeo's Eolji Wende famous. Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan is Li Shimin's attendant staff officer, responsible for introducing the situation of this Liaodong City to everyone. And this Liaodong City was not conquered by Emperor Yang of Sui back then, but millions of troops were not able to conquer it, and now everyone must also face Liaodong City and must conquer this Liaodong City. And everyone is very clear that the famous general of Goguryeo, Eulzhi Wende, defeated the million-strong army of Emperor Yang of Sui here, and then Eulji Wende became the top famous general of Goguryeo, and later became the prime minister of Goguryeo. And now that everyone has encountered this Liaodong again, of course, we must pay attention to it.
After all, the million-strong army of Liaodong City was not conquered back then, and now the more than 100,000-strong army wants to conquer it, of course, there must be some means.
"At that time, Yizhi Wende guarded Liaodong, and Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army did not conquer it. Later, he lured the enemy deeper. Then he annihilated the 300,000 army that was already starving, so he won the victory. Don't worry about the army, as long as we fight steadily and steadily this time, and don't rush it, that qiē can be solved very easily. We are just dumbfounded, and we are not afraid that they will seize our loopholes and attack. Jingwen said.
And Xue Rengui immediately said: "There are no heroes in the world, but let the shaft become famous!" ”
The army then very unceremoniously belittled the Goguryeo general Ulji Wendeok, apparently not taking Ulji Wende seriously at all. It seems that it is necessary to belittle Yizhi Wende, and then pass guò to belittle Yizhi Wende, and indirectly belittle Emperor Yang of Sui. Because Eulzhiwende is nothing in everyone's eyes. However, Yizhi Wende defeated Emperor Yang of Sui, which was able to indirectly belittle Emperor Yang of Sui. This one is also a means of sycophancy, after all, it can appear as if the Tang Dynasty is better than the Sui Dynasty.
"Hehe, although Yizhi Wende is not a commander, he is also a famous general, and everyone is a little underestimated when he says so. No matter how good Yizhi Wende is, he can resist the attack of the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army, and also annihilate the Sui Dynasty's 300,000-strong army, which is already a very remarkable achievement. No matter how those Sui Dynasty soldiers were defeated. But after all, it was defeated by Eozhi Wende, so you don't have to despise Eozhi Wende so much! Li Shimin took the initiative to speak.
And Jingwen immediately said: "The emperor is wise! ”
And Jingwen went on to say: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo doesn't have any commanders, so we don't have to worry about them being able to defeat us. But according to the emperor's words. The minister's experience is that it is necessary to despise the enemy strategically, and to attach importance to the enemy tactically. Although we will win this time against Goguryeo, we must also reduce our losses. And then for us to be able to get the maximum benefit. After all, every soldier is our people, and we can't afford to suffer too much damage! ”
"Well said, strategically defying the enemy. And tactically attach importance to the enemy, that's a good saying! Li Shimin said excitedly, obviously this is too good.
Li Shimin also deeply sympathized with Jingwen's words, after all, Jingwen's words have gone beyond the military level, but have reached the national strategy. This is not at a certain level, and it cannot be said. And Jingwen was able to say it, which surprised Li Shimin for a while.
And when Li Shimin heard this, he also looked at the soldiers of the Xi tribe and the Yan tribe, they were also a group of cannon fodder. The so-called valuing the enemy means reducing one's own casualties, and the way to reduce casualties is to let others suffer casualties. This is also the so-called Dead Dao Friends Immortal Poor Dao, anyway, these people of the Xi Clan and the Yan Clan are their potential enemies in the future, if they don't take advantage of the present to consume their strength, how can they be destroyed in the future? These guys stupidly thought that Datang would help them regain the land, but they didn't know that Datang had used them as cannon fodder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was blocked in Liaodong City, and as a result, he also defeated Goguryeo, and let hundreds of thousands of my Chinese children die in Liaodong, so that the Central Plains began to have a troubled era from then on. Therefore, this Goguryeo sin is unforgivable, so we must conquer this Liaodong city, and then comfort those compatriots who died. Li Shimin said sadly.
Obviously, Li Shimin attributed the troubled times in the last years of the Sui Dynasty to Goguryeo, and anyway, he tried his best to buckle Goguryeo's hat, so that his conquest behavior would become as if it were righteous. Anyway, in ancient and modern wars at home and abroad, they all pay attention to what division is famous, and this is just an excuse. If the more hats are put on Goguryeo, the more it can explain the sins of Goguryeo, and the Chinese people have also become victims. Of course, that's a good thing, so Li Shimin also worked hard to button Goguryeo's big hat.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, then wherever we fall, we will also get up. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty fell in this Liaodong City, so if we can conquer Liaodong City, it will not only comfort the souls of countless Chinese children in the sky, but also make my Tang Dynasty far beyond the beginning of the Sui Dynasty! Jingwen said.
"Well, where you fall, you get up, that's a good saying! Since we have fallen in Liaodong City, we must get up in Liaodong City and continue to fight. Li Shimin said.
"Where you fall, get up!" Everyone shouted together. (To be continued......)
