Chapter 467: Sticks

Before receiving this reply, everyone thought that Silla and Baekje did not have the courage to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that we miscalculated before.

"Sure enough, what you said is right, I thought that by virtue of our great victory, they would not dare to disobey us, but now it seems that those words are useless, all of them are praised, and only when the army kills them, they will respect what we say."

At that time, when Li Xiang expressed his distrust of these two countries, General Li Jing also felt that Li Xiang was too suspicious, and now after receiving the replies from these two countries, Li Jing realized how naïve he was considering.

"The general may not know these sticks, they have a set behind the surface, but after this incident, it is equivalent to teaching all of us a lesson, if we deal with them in the future, it must be based on what actually happens, and those beautiful words they say by themselves are probably not of much use, and this is also good for us, we can just go south."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the people in the tent laughed, what Li Xiang said was very correct, in the past, we still need to take care of these two countries.

After all, in the territory of Goguryeo, there are still many ordinary people of these two countries, and they have already expressed their submission, so we have to treat them differently, and now there is no such thing, your country does not listen to the orders of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of vassal state is this, naturally you will not have the treatment of a vassal state, and you will be treated the same as the common people of Goguryeo in the future.

In the next month, Li Xiang and the others paused their footsteps to the south, and they were making greater preparations, and the two southern countries did gain a lot, and a large number of displaced people also ran out of Goguryeo, and they directly opened the country and let these people carry their property into the two countries.

There are also some people of insight in the two countries, although this time we sent troops, but at the same time it also angered the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty broke through Goguryeo, then will they occupy the two countries?

Soon the scholars in the two countries stood up, they thought that the Tang Dynasty abided by Confucianism, and could not invade them because of this money, and the reason why they did not fight to the death with Goguryeo was because Goguryeo had offended them too hard before, and we only breached the contract once, and it was not worth letting the Tang Dynasty kill them.

Moreover, in this month's time, all the Tang troops were in the north of Goguryeo, and they had no intention of going south, so the people in power in these two countries thought that the Tang army may have suffered certain losses in the previous attack, but they didn't show it.

At this stage, the Tang army may be recuperating, or it may be waiting for the army to come from China, if this is the case, then we can write a letter to repair this relationship, take out part of the treasure we got from Goguryeo, and let the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and us ease up.

Silla and Baekje are right, just let them take out a part of the treasure, which is like cutting their flesh, these two countries themselves are very poor, and now let them take out a part, who can live in their hearts, so this matter is delayed, and there are constant verbal wars.

When they were fighting, the war in the north burned again, and the 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went directly south from the Datong River in three ways, and the defenders along the Goguryeo route were simply vulnerable, and there was at least a part of the Goguryeo army along the south coast of the Yangtze River to defend, but this time when they attacked, when they heard the iron hooves of the Tang cavalry, these people threw down their weapons one after another.

There are still more than 70,000 troops left in Goguryeo, but these more than 70,000 troops are not even equipped with weapons, many people are holding farm tools in their hands, and a large part of them are coming back from the north, they have seen the military might of the Tang Dynasty, how dare they fight the Tang army on the battlefield? So when they heard that the Tang army was coming, these people surrendered without hesitation.

At this critical moment, the king of Goguryeo went directly to sea with his cronies, as for where he went, this is probably only known to them, and under the leadership of Gaiyuan Suwen, the Goguryeo court gathered more than 20,000 people, ready to fight to the death with the Tang army in the capital.

"Can this also be considered a capital? With such a building situation, it is at most a prefecture city. ”

Qin Huaiyu looked at the capital of Goguryeo and said, in his impression, the capital must be like Chang'an Luoyang, even if it is inferior, it must be similar to the state capital of the Tang Dynasty, he is obviously that the capital in front of him is too far behind, even if it is a government city, it will not be ranked in the Tang Dynasty.

"The capital of Goguryeo is already the most magnificent, if you go to Silla and Baekje, you will know how shabby it is, at most it is about the same as a county, and if you think about the land area of other people, it is about the same as the area of one of our counties."

Li Xiang joked beside him, in the 21st century, he knew what was going on with these sticks, and everywhere they said that they were the most powerful, but in fact they were not that strong, they were purely blown out by themselves, and it was the same in this era.

"Don't talk about this first, what kind of medicine is sold in this Gaiyuan Suwen gourd? He was a very sane man, how could he gather the last army of Goguryeo and resist us in the capital? ”

Su Dingfang said with some doubts, even the king of Goguryeo has taken his own people to sea, in this era, this kind of ship is very dangerous to go to sea, because there is no good chart, after going out, it can only blindly rely on one direction, it is easy to get lost in the sea, at that time, just wait to feed the fish, so no one wants to go to sea unless it is absolutely necessary.

Regarding this issue, Li Xiang also wondered, Gai Yuan Suwen is a person who can carry clearly, just with the more than 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled under his command, how can he be the opponent of the Tang army? Not to mention that the two sides are fighting seriously, even if the Tang army charges, it is estimated that Gai Yuan Suwen has no chance of winning, but he is still gathering troops in the capital, why is this? Is there a backhand?
