The Liaodong Rebellion lasted for a full year and a half from the beginning of the fourth year of Yuan He to now.

In a whole year and a half, under the crazy raging forces of all sides, the rich hinterland of Liaodong has been ten rooms and nine empty, and it has almost become a ruin.

………………

As the main force of the early rebellion, it became the main force to defeat the Tang army, which was small in Liaodong.

With the first-mover advantage, the Liaodong tribes grabbed a lot of resources and wealth in the early stage of the rebellion.

However, in the ensuing turmoil, the follow-up forces including the Tang army were defeated under the attack, and from the beginning to the rout, the Liaodong tribes lost at least 200,000 people, of which at least 100,000 were their young and strong.

Although they gained some benefits in the early raids, they could not make up for the loss of the population, especially the young and middle-aged people, who could not be compensated for in less than ten years.

From Murowei to Xi, from Khitan to Jurchen, from Uighur to Ya, almost all the alien races involved in the rebellion in the entire Liaodong region were dealt a heavy blow.

………………

The two peninsular states of Silla and Baekje remained neutral in the early stages of the rebellion and intervened when the Tang army's defenses collapsed.

After intervening in the middle of the period, with the advantage of numbers and the vacuum of Liaodong's combat power, it once occupied most of the land in Liaodong.

However, when the fifth round arrived and took control of the battle in Liaodong, Silla and Baekje became cannon fodder on the battlefield with a numerical advantage and a scumbag in combat effectiveness.

In the later stages of the rebellion, with the landing of the Tang army on the peninsula, the royal families of Silla and Baekje had been captured, and Silla and Baekje had completely disappeared in name.

………………

Goguryeo, under the planning of Li Shidao, successfully restored the country after a hundred years of destruction, once occupied half of the land in the hinterland of Liaodong, and re-became the first power in Liaodong on the surface.

However, after Li Yu's troops broke into Liaodong, several large-scale sports battles vividly showed the foreign power and middle cadres of Goguryeo after the restoration of the country.

In the later stage of the rebellion, under the coordination of Li Yu, under the escort and cover of the navy, the large-scale landing of the Tang army, and Goguryeo, which was finally restored, was destroyed again.

This time, the remnants of the Goguryeo royal family were completely eradicated, and Goguryeo as an independent force has completely disappeared from the stage of history.

………………

The island state, or Li Shidao, as the real instigator and initiator of the Liaodong rebellion, once actually controlled the entire Liaodong except for the Bohai State.

Liaodong plus the island country, plus the peninsula, Li Shidao controlled more than 10 million people, and controlled more than 1 million land.

On paper, he already has the strength to wrestle with Datang.

However, with the destruction of the Jiaodong Naval Division, the Japanese soldiers who entered the Tang Dynasty were killed, and the advance of Guo Rong and Li Yu's *** army, everything that Li Shidao once controlled was lost little by little.

When the 150,000 troops of the fifth round of the expedition were completely wiped out, Li Shidao's preparation, operation, and investment in the entire Liaodong for 20 years had actually completely come to naught.

Not only that, but the only island country in Li Shidao's hands was also stared at by Li Yu.

………………

As for Li Tang, although the Liaodong garrison is under the jurisdiction of Pinglu Town, in a large scope, Liaodong is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the turmoil of a year and a half,

Goguryeo, which had been destroyed for a hundred years, was restored,

Several of the vassals who have been beaten down have rebelled,

The Liaodong defense line with the border fort as the core collapsed on all fronts,

Tens of thousands of elite Liaodong garrisons were lost under the repeated impact of forces from all sides.

The millions of people in Liaodong have been lost,

Liaodong, which had been in business for a hundred years, was in ruins.

With the advance of Guo Rong and Li Yu by land and water, until now, Liaodong has basically been recovered, Goguryeo has been destroyed, and the rebellious Silla and Baekje have also existed in name only, but this level of loss is still difficult to estimate.

In a sense, Datang is still the party that has the greatest loss in the entire Liaodong rebellion.

………………

The Liaodong tribes, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, Li Shidao, and even Li Tang, each of them was counted as one, and suffered heavy losses in this massive rebellion, except for one, that is, the Balhae Kingdom.

When the first wave of the Liaodong tribes began to rebel, the Bohai State was mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for war.

When the Tang army's defense line in Liaodong was destroyed, the soldiers and horses of the Bohai State, which had long been ready, began to enter Liaodong in the name of counterinsurgency.

When the Hebei army led by Li Yu entered Liaodong, interspersed and detoured above the Liaodong Plain, slaughtered all sides in Liaodong, and killed the Liaodong tribes, Liaodong rebels, Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo rebels in horror, the elite soldiers and horses of the Bohai Sea appeared.

The soldiers and horses of the Bohai Kingdom, who were fighting to help the Tang Dynasty put down the rebellion, did not take action against Li Yu, but took advantage of the opportunity of Li Yu to turn the hinterland of Liaodong upside down and continue to occupy the land of Liaodong on a large scale.

[In view of the general environment,

Until one day, they blocked Li Yu's interspersed circuitous road, compressing Li Yu's activity space by more than sixty percent.

In desperation, Li Yu, who had already occupied the advantage, had to give up the advantage he had just gained, led everything he could to bring, and retreated all the way south to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Taking advantage of the lack of troops in the hinterland of Liaodong and the fact that the weather had not yet turned cold, the Bohai Navy continued to encroach on land and towns, and began to move people, materials, grain, grass, and wealth from the occupied land.

When the cold winter came and the fifth round of main forces retreated, one-third of the entire Liaodong land was no longer half a figure.

That's right, the Bohai State withdrew its troops, not only did the army of the Bohai State withdraw, but they also took everything they could get, such as population, such as gold and silver, such as food, such as ......

According to Li Yu's estimates, during the entire Liaodong rebellion, the Bohai State forcibly relocated nearly 300,000 men, women, and children from the hinterland of Liaodong, and even seized countless grains and wealth.

It can be said that while other forces were beating the brains of the Liaodong people into dog brains, the Bohai State quietly became the real winner behind this rebellion.

Originally, Guo Rong and Li Yu were also helpless against the Bohai Kingdom.

The Bohai State did participate in the rebellion, but from the beginning, the name of the Bohai State to send troops was to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion, and they also had a legitimate reason to send troops, because they were invited by President Liu to assist in quelling the rebellion.

Although Mr. Liu later tore off his disguise, directly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and was even cut off from his official position in the Tang Dynasty, in the early days of the rebellion, Mr. Liu was still genuine, and the imperial court must recognize that the envoys of Zhongcheng and Lu Longjie in the imperial history were indeed qualified to issue such invitations to vassal countries.

After entering Liaodong, they did not directly attack the Tang army, on the contrary, they attacked the rebels to a certain extent, and later directly withdrew from the occupied land.

Although it was indeed a problem to take away a large number of people, materials, and wealth, it was not enough to support Li Yu and Guo Rong to use troops against the Bohai State.

In other words, if Li Yu and Guo Rong used troops against the Bohai State for this reason, they could only punish them.

However, with Guo Rong, Li Yu's thoughts, and the eyes of the ambitious and boundless Li Chun, how could punishment be what they wanted.

It's just that even when Guo Rong and Li Yu were meditating hard and wanted to find a chance to clean up the Bohai Kingdom, the scouts in Yu Qian's hands were pleasantly surprised to find that the soldiers and horses of the Bohai Kingdom who returned to the Bohai Sea last winter came back after the Chinese New Year, to be precise, after the fifth round of the population and resources of Liaodong were exhausted.

At first, these Bohai people were still cautious and sneaky, but as time went longer and the farther they went, the more they learned about the situation in Liaodong, the size of the Bohai people expanded, and the march was no longer cautious.

So, Guo Rong and Li Yu invariably thought of closing the door and beating the dog.

So, with Mo Lingjun taking the route of Bayegu, Xing'anling, and Murowei, he raided Yanjin Prefecture,

As a result, there was a naval division to occupy the mouth of the Yalu River, and there were Rongcheng guards to take a boat along it

The Yalu River flows all the way upstream, directly occupying the domestic city.

Guo Rong and Li Yu's idea is very simple, if the Bohai people see a good situation, they will accept it, or if they know their own situation, then they will send troops from the rigorous rear and the domestic city to cut off the retreat of the Bohai people, and the heads of these Bohai people will become the introduction of Li Yu and Guo Rong's attack.

If the Bohai people are completely crazy and go all the way west, then Yanjin Prefecture and the domestic city will also become the throat that chokes the fate of the Bohai Navy.

In Li Yu's view, this time, the reason of the Bohai people was overwhelmed by ambition.

This time they did not stop, especially after learning that the Uighur cavalry (Bayegu) was wreaking havoc in the remaining hinterland of Liaodong, the ***, generals, and marching troops of the Bohai State once again brightened their eyes.

In their view, this is another reasonable opportunity to enter the territory of Datang to counterinsurgency.

And that's not all.

The fifth round can put the desperate An Zongyu in front of him as cannon fodder, so if the rebels in the fifth round can really block the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, then why can't the Bohai Kingdom take the also desperate fifth round as their cannon fodder.

As a result, the army of the Bohai State, which was extremely excited, put down its shyness, put down its reserve, put down its camouflage, and did not even do reconnaissance and protection, and began to drive straight into Liaodong without knowing that the Tang army had entered Liaodong.

As everyone knows, everything that the Bohai people saw was the result of the efforts of a large number of scouts under Yu Qian's command under Li Yu's instructions, and what the Bohai people did was exactly what Li Yu wanted them to do.

More than 100,000 soldiers and horses directly slaughtered to the center of the hinterland of Liaodong, and began to fight with the ancient cavalry of Baye, who were frantically burning and plundering in the hinterland of Liaodong.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the Bohai army and the Baye ancient cavalry, Li Yu mobilized troops and horses, showing that he had completed the encirclement of the fifth round of attacking soldiers and horses, completed the attack on the fifth round of partial divisions, and finally annihilated the main force of more than 100,000 Liaodong rebels who attacked.

More than 100,000 rebels were wiped out, and the cavalry of Bayegu was almost completely wiped out under the encirclement and annihilation of the Bohai State, and the army of the Bohai State also suffered heavy losses under the decisive assault of the Bayegu cavalry.

The outcome of the battle was perfect, but only Li Yu knew the thrill of this battle. There is a strong enemy in the back, there is a large army in the front, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

In fact, what Lin Yu said at the most critical time was right, Li Yu did leave four thousand elite foot soldiers in Xiangping City.

However, these pawns are not only Lin Yu's hole cards, but also the possibility that Lin Yu used them to prevent the Bohai State army from directly copying his own back road.

No one knew that during the entire battle, Li Yu did not leave Xiangping for a quarter of an hour, and what also did not leave was the 4,000 foot soldiers left by Li Yu.

Fortunately, God bless Datang, this time the Bohai people are not as flexible as before, they are not as agile as before, and they do not have the unfathomable feeling before.

If Li Yu has to give Bohai people an evaluation, it is that after a flash of inspiration, the Bohai people have regained their greedy and mediocre nature.

In fact, Li Yu's feelings and judgments are almost infallible.

Because, Bohai Kingdom's understanding of the Tang Army and the forbidden army essentially comes from a person, from a ghost-like person, the righteous son of the former eunuch leader, and the former lieutenant of the left wing of the Shence Army, Chen Hongzhi.

In fact, after the beginning of the Liaodong Rebellion, Chen Hongzhi, who left Hebei, came to Bohai again and became the guest of the Bohai King Da Yuanyu, and also became the actual ruler of the Bohai State by virtue of Da Yuanyu.

However, as a fugitive, Chen Hongzhi, as a living dead, did not have the opportunity to get close to the Chang'an Forbidden Army after all, so although he knew that the Tang Army was powerful, he did not have an intuitive concept of how powerful the Tang Army, especially the Chang'an Tang Army, was.

Chen Hongzhi didn't know that the Bohai people, who were extremely remote from the Central Plains, could not have a detailed understanding of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, especially the two-year blockade of the Western Liaoning Corridor, which cut off any contact between them and the Central Plains.

Not only that, but they didn't know anything about the Tang Army, especially the establishment and existence of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, and naturally they couldn't know about the formidable scouts in the Forbidden Army.

Rao is like this, Chen Hongzhi still uses the vision he honed in the process of fleeing

Ye and Zhizhi, with the support of Da Yuanyu, became the only party to profit in the Liaodong rebellion.

However, the perennial escape and the continuous series of years have long consumed Chen Hongzhi's body, and by the time he came to Bohai for the last time, he was close to running out of oil.

After completing the final command of the retreat of the Bohai army, Chen Hongzhi had only one breath left, and in this case, it was obvious that he could not continue to be in charge of the national affairs and war of the Bohai State.

Everything in the Bohai Kingdom is back in the hands of the Bohai people.

Li Yu, who was far away in Xiangping, naturally couldn't know this, but these were not important to Li Yu.

The important thing is that after annihilating the soldiers and horses of the fifth round, he finally got rid of the state of being attacked by the enemy on his back and could concentrate all his attention and forces on the soldiers and horses of the Bohai State.

As for the fifth round, it is naturally up to Guo Rong to clean it up.

Therefore, Li Yu did not send troops to Liucheng, but took advantage of the time when Guo Rong marched to Liucheng to redeploy troops and horses and set traps again.

Under the trap laid by Li Yu, after basically annihilating the ancient cavalry of Baye, the Bohai people, who were full of confidence, began to march towards Xiangping, the most important town in the hinterland of Liaodong.
