Chapter 446: Goguryeo in Turmoil
General Li Jing's office
"Okay, okay, you don't nag here, you hurry up and take the cavalry first."
General Li Jing has been nagging for two days, since Li Xiang took Baiyan City, Niu Jinda can't stay in this place, this guy is afraid that Li Xiang will take down all the land in Jiangbei, if this is the case, there will be no name on the credit book.
"And here?"
Niu Jinda originally wanted to leave in advance, but when General Li Jing agreed, Niu Jinda thought that General Li Jing's health was not good, if he left, then everything would be handed over to the general, isn't this a bit unkind?
"Isn't there still a kid from the old Qin family? Put your heart in your stomach is to let them exercise well, and they can be regarded as the next generation of talents in our Datang, but there is one thing I have to tell you......"
Qin Huaiyu listened very well next to him, General Li Jing spent most of his time in the carriage because of his health, and if General Niu Jinda left with the cavalry, then the remaining 100,000 infantry would be under Qin Huaiyu's command.
Qin Huaiyu held back the excitement in his heart at the moment, he used to see his father commanding so many troops, not to mention how envious he was in his heart, he didn't expect it to come to his head so soon, these hundreds of thousands of troops are all listening to us, this is too exciting.
"Command, please, General."
Although Niu Jinda has deep qualifications, his official position and title are one level behind, so when General Li Jing spoke, this guy was also listening honestly next to him, and he knew that General Li Jing's words should not be said to himself, but to Li Xiang.
"You go and tell the generalissimo that General Ben will never be allowed to cross the Datong River until he arrives in Baiyan City."
General Li Jing knew in his heart that we had not been idle for more than a year, and the army of Goguryeo had long since lost much combat effectiveness, and the tiger and wolf division under Li Xiang plus Su Dingfang, a sitting tiger, would only take half a month at most, and the two of them would be able to sweep north of the Datong River, but what was the situation in Goguryeo? General Li Jing is still uncertain, if they go all the way to Jiangnan, then some things will be difficult to say.
"General, don't we take advantage of the situation to go south after we take the land in Jiangbei?"
Niu Jinda said with some confusion, Qin Huaiyu next to him was also interested, according to the ideas of the two of them, we already have an absolute advantage, Goguryeo has been pierced in the throat like a thorn all these years, in the past, we couldn't help them, but now they are incapable, and they have to step on them to death?
"There is nothing wrong with your thoughts, if General Ben is twenty years younger, I guess I have the same idea as you, but now we have to wait for Chang'an, and the other is on the Goguryeo Peninsula, but not only him, but also two other countries."
After General Li Jing's words came out, the two people present understood that Chang'an City was a layer of meaning, and the other two countries were another layer of meaning, and now except for Silla to give us an offering, Baekje doesn't care at all, so in this case, we have to put some pressure on him.
"The last general will retire first."
After understanding this, Niu Jinda will not stay here, he will take 40,000 cavalry to advance first, these people are all lightly armed, and the Taishou prefect along the way has already prepared the preparations, so in less than ten days, they will be able to reach the front line in Liaodong.
As for the rest of the infantry, they could only walk slowly behind, and they knew their fate before the war, that is, to take over the land of Goguryeo in Liaodong, and every town needed to station our soldiers, at least for more than a few years, otherwise they would not be able to suppress the local rebellion.
General Li Jing has already told his subordinates that every team of soldiers has the responsibility of each team of soldiers, and you will be the local emperor in the future, within your jurisdiction, if anyone feels that they are rebelling against the Tang Dynasty, the knife in their hands is by no means a burning stick, and you have to let the people around you know what you are doing when you go up with a knife.
Goguryeo Royal Palace.
"King Qiqi, news has come from the front line, and the ...... of Baiyan City has been lost"
The Goguryeo military department Shangshu held a copy of the book in his hand, which was sent overnight.
"What do you say? Didn't you say that the Tang army had just left their capital not long ago? Didn't you say that the attack would not be launched until a month later? Who is the defender of White Rock City? Is there no resistance? ”
The king of Goguryeo looked confused, but he quickly came to his senses, for the questions he raised, the military department Shangshu did not know how to answer, part of the Tang army set out from Chang'an City, but there was also a part of the army stationed in Liaodong, if they wanted to attack, it was just a matter of raising their legs.
As for who the defender of White Rock City is, does it still matter who he is? Even the city has been lost, and people have been killed in the war, do you still want to hold him accountable?
"What about the prime minister? Does the prime minister know about this? ”
The king of Goguryeo suddenly thought of this matter, although he has also grown older, but his strategy and way of doing things have not grown, he used to only think about fighting for power and profit with the prime minister, but he didn't think of what to do after you get the right, such as the matter in front of you, do you know how to make an order?
"The official document of the military department is divided into two parts, one moment it will be brought to the king by Weichen, and the other will be brought to the prime minister's mansion by Lord Shilang."
Of course, the military department Shangshu knew the situation on the prime minister's side, but the prime minister's side didn't say anything, in fact, this is also a very normal thing, aren't you thinking about getting the rights back? Then you have the power in your hands now, what should you do, you can say something, don't go to someone else's prime minister at this time.
"Come on, put on the throne."
To the surprise of the military department, the king of Goguryeo seemed to be really anxious, and did not let people find the prime minister, but went to visit the prime minister himself, and an external crisis also stopped the internal strife, if this battle could have stopped a few months earlier, maybe Baiyan City would not have to fall.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, anyone must be responsible for what they do, you two have made a mess of the whole Goguryeo, and now I am afraid that it will not work to rely on some stratagems to maintain it, in the face of absolute strength, stratagems are a fart!
