Chapter 227: A Pretext for War
Zhenguan twenty-three years, April.
After completing the spring ploughing, the Liao State began to prepare for war.
To tell the truth, it was still a bit difficult to cross Goguryeo to fight Baekje.
But what about the difficulty, even if it is difficult, you have to go up.
And in order to prevent Goguryeo from backstabbing, the five little ones also wrote to Datang for help.
Thirty thousand more reinforcements were requested in order to defend their way back.
Other than that......
Then invite Gao Jianwu and Goguryeo's ministers to their army.
Keep a close watch.
Gao Jianwu also knew that the Liao State was not at ease with Goguryeo.
But if you make him obedient, it's absolutely impossible.
And then......
That's where things go.
After all......
What if the Liao State had any bad thoughts about them?
The two sides have sent several more envoys in succession, and it's done!
Next, it also fell out with Goguryeo.
The five little ones simply aimed at Goguryeo.
Right now......
The five little ones finally found an excuse to start a war with Goguryeo.
In fact......
The five little ones have long wanted to fight Goguryeo to practice their hands, but the problem is that they have never been able to find such an opportunity.
Now, taking the opportunity to attack Baekje by taking advantage of the road, they have just fulfilled their wishes.
And......
Wuxiao only thought about it, if he couldn't defeat Goguryeo and rashly go to Baekje, it would be a bit difficult.
The first big city.
Hit the Black Bone City first.
Goguryeo didn't expect that the Liao State would turn its face when it said it, but now it's useless to say anything.
Over the past few years, Liaodong City has stored quite a lot of shells.
Therefore......
To this day, it can be poured without scruples.
Under the siege of artillery shells, under the offensive like rain.
The Black Bone City only held out for less than two days before the city surrendered.
After occupying the Black Bone City, the five little ones were not in a hurry to continue to advance, because there were too many large and small mountain cities in Goguryeo. Rushing forward, it is difficult for them to eat all in one bite.
So......
Let's sweep away the Goguryeo cities one by one.
On Goguryeo's side, Gao Jianwu was also extremely nervous when he saw that the Liao State easily took down the big city in their south, the Black Bone City.
In half a month, three envoys were sent to the Liao State.
Li Zhi also replied to the other party, what did you do earlier, wouldn't it be good to obediently accept the control of the Liao State, now, it is already difficult for us to believe in your sincerity, if you want to fight, then come!
Gao Jianwu was directly dumbfounded.
He had never seen anything like it.
Look!
There were small officials in Goguryeo who said before that the Liao State was a wolf's ambition, and you still don't believe it, but now it's all come true.
In order to prevent further invasion of the Liao State, Goguryeo had no choice but to release the petty official who had been beaten to death and locked up in prison.
Right now......
The most important thing is to block the offensive of the Liao State.
The other party analyzed the offensive of the Liao State and believed that the only thing they could do now was to hold the Yalu River first.
As for the other mountain towns, you can leave some people to increase resistance to the other party, but in fact, it doesn't make much sense to stay any longer. ….
The implementation of this policy by the other party is a little more convenient for the five small ones.
The five small ones sent scouts to all directions, and almost all of the scouts came back to report that all the people of Goguryeo had run away, and there was only one empty city left on the road.
Today, the population of the city within a radius of hundreds of miles has been almost emptied.
It's a pity, it's a pity!
After all......
When the man runs away, he will not be able to catch the prisoner.
But......
The five little ones didn't panic, after all, as far as they were, if they really ate the whole Goguryeo, they might suffer from indigestion.
Jin Chunqiu was also directly dumbfounded by this wave of operations of the five little ones.
I asked you to save Silla, why did you fight with Goguryeo.
Of course!
In order to keep it secret, Jin Chunqiu didn't know the Tang army's siege methods at this time, and Jin Chunqiu only knew that now the Liao State and Goguryeo had started a war.
He could already see the tense atmosphere of the people who came and went.
After beating the Black Bone City.
The five little ones first happily accepted the captives and divided the property, and then called Jin Chunqiu over.
He said to Jin Chunqiu: "Now, you can go back, after you go back, you will fight against Baekje, and when we break through Goguryeo, we will come to help you."
Jin Chunqiu seemed to have heard some funny joke.
Penetrate Goguryeo, is it so easy to penetrate?
But......
It only took less than two days for the Liao State to break through the Black Bone City, which was indeed a bit surprising to him.
"Can your country really penetrate Goguryeo?"
I saw Jin Chunqiu ask.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's hard to say, but a dozen on our side will definitely put pressure on them, right? Originally, it was planned to directly attack the capital of Baekje, but now you have also seen that Gao Jianwu does not cooperate, so we can only solve Gao Jianwu first, and then go to save Silla. Feel relieved! This battle will also be good for us, and we will definitely give it our all, but when the time comes, don't forget your promises."
That's true.
But the question is......
Why did he still think that His Majesty of the Liao Kingdom was a little unreliable.
Then I looked at the map again......
No way!
This is indeed the only thing the other party can do at the moment.
Jin Chunqiu had no choice but to resign from Li Zhi.
Silla is now in charge of the country without him, and it is very likely that he will not be able to beat Baekje.
Although it is true that the Liao State cannot give Silla very direct help now, this indirect help is at least better than nothing.
After his resignation, Kim Chunqiu and his son quietly bypassed the blockade of Baekje from the sea and returned to Silla.
By the time Kim Chunqiu returned to Silla, it was already June.
At this time......
In the entire southern part of the Changbai Mountains, except for the scattered hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who still stayed in place to fight guerrillas, the Yalu River, also known as the north of the Yalu River, was no longer inhabited.
The five little ones are also discussing what to do next.
Li Youmu: "Or...... Let's go straight ahead!"
Lee Chun-ran: "Landing directly from the sea and attacking Pyongyang."
Li Youran: "No, we have to nibble away little by little, it's not good to fight too fast." What if the other side surrenders?"
Li Angran: "But now there is not a single living person within a radius of hundreds of miles."
Li Zhi was also worried, these Goguryeo people ran too fast.
It feels like you've been trained in advance.
The problem is that the mountain range is too long.
If their army entered, it would be difficult for the supply lines not to be harassed.
This is mainly due to the fact that the population of Liao is too small.
There was a huge area of land waiting for them to occupy, but they couldn't send a single one.
Reluctant to send a person.
After thinking about it, Li Zhi also said, "Forget it! Let's sell all the captured captives for money first."
