Chapter 204: The one who broke Baekje is a good emperor and grandson

[The Tang Dynasty's strategy for Liaodong was much simpler than that of the Western Regions.

After all, the Western Regions are far away, and the roads are very difficult to walk, not to mention, the supply along the way has always been a problem that plagues the Tang Army.

Liaodong is different, Hebei and Shandong are already near the sea, and the private shipbuilding industry has been developing.

In terms of population and marching methods, Liaodong is much simpler than the Western Regions.

And Li Shimin also left a considerable legacy to Li Zhi in Liaodong:

More than 1,000 warships, as well as enough food and grass to supply 300,000 troops.

These things were successively saved by Li Shimin after the first personal expedition to Goguryeo, in order to be the second personal expedition.

Originally, it was planned that the army of Zhenguan would be drawn in the twenty-second year, but this year Fang Xuanling died of illness, and before he died, he wrote a long exhortation, Li Shimin could only give up and planned to fight again next year.

Then the following year, the condition deteriorated rapidly, and Zhenguan ended here, and the pro-campaign was over.

Relying on his father's inheritance, when facing Silla for help, Li Zhi was quite arrogant:

You're bouncing, aren't you? Death to the master!

Su Dingfang, who had just pacified the Western Turks, took command again, led 100,000 troops, drove warships, crossed the Yellow Sea, and attacked Baekje. 】

The smile on Su Dingfang's face in the Manna Hall could not be concealed.

He has not forgotten the brief description of his exploits in later generations: destroy the Three Kingdoms and capture their masters.

It is known that the Western Turks and the Green Mountains were destroyed in the Western Regions, and now this last effort seems to be on this Baekje country.

"I remember, this Baekje country seems to stand with Wei and Jin?"

Su Dingfang really didn't know very well, so he asked Li Shichang nearby.

Li Shiyun looked at Su Dingfang, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything, and turned his head:

"I don't know."

Su Dingfang shook his head regretfully, didn't you like to laugh when you talked about Zhang Liang just now?

Why is it that at this time, the brain is shown after learning?

Looking at the back of Li Shixian's head, Li Jing felt that he still had to mediate:

"Crossing the sea to fight thieves is an unprecedented move in the old man's career, and he wants to come to Liaodong to become famous."

Li Jing opened his mouth, and Su Dingfang instantly turned back into a good baby, and he excused himself again and again.

"This Baekje is no better than the Turks, the country is founded on the peninsula, there is Goguryeo in the north, Silla in the east, and the sea in the southwest.

"The first merit of this battle should be Your Majesty, if there are no more than a thousand warships, how can it be decided in a battle?"

Li Shixian, who twisted his head, pouted, this guy who didn't want to sweep the floor actually learned quite quickly!

No matter how much Li Shiyun pouted, it couldn't affect Li Shimin's mood that was slowly improving.

was isolated by the juniors, and then remembered the things of his children and grandchildren, Li Shimin was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

But at this time, listening to Su Dingfang's compliments, Li Shimin's mood also improved a little again.

It's still these young generals who are eager to make meritorious contributions.

Think about Su Dingfang, and then think about Xue Rengui, who is quite powerful in archery, and Pei Xingjian, who has been praised by the pharmacist at a young age.

There are also the names of Wang Yifang mentioned earlier, Wang Xuance who will return in a few years, and some other young people.

Li Shimin's heart finally felt a little relieved, and then he remembered the younger martial arts lady now...... Stop, stop, stop.

Knocking on his head, Li Shimin turned his head to look at his right-hand man:

"Xuan Ling is only nine out of sixty years old, and it seems that he still works a lot for chastity."

Of course, sixty-nine can be regarded as a high life, but compared with Li Jing and others, it can only be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, smiled and squinted:

"The minister and Zhenguan rested together, and His Majesty made Zhenguan together, at the age of nearly seventy, and there is no regret."

"On the contrary, Your Majesty, you still need to pay attention to your body."

Li Shimin waved his hand, needless to say, he didn't know the fat and beauty of the lamb for a long time.

Even his proud sweet and sour fish was discovered by King Sun Yao, who demanded that he eat no more than twice a month.

Li Shimin also secretly hated because of this: Why is the imperial dining room so big-mouthed?

However, Nian Zai was worried about his health, and Li Shimin could only pinch his nose and admit it.

[When Liu Renliang was still rushing to Qingzhou, Su Dingfang had already crossed the sea and completed the landing at the mouth of the Xiongjin River.

The people of Baekje King Fuyu were stunned:

The last time you fought Goguryeo, it wasn't like that.

For the king of Baekje, the alliance with Goguryeo was also well considered, and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula was all Goguryeo's territory, and if Tang wanted to enter the peninsula, he had to penetrate Goguryeo first.

As the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, so the king of Baekje agreed to Goguryeo's conditions.

But what he didn't expect was that the Tang Dynasty came across the sea and caught the king of Baekje off guard, so he could only deploy heavy troops at the mouth of the Xiongjin River in the hope of retreating from the enemy.

But the king of Baekje really thought too much.

The so-called heavy troops at the mouth of the Xiongjin River were wiped out in a battle, and the soldiers of the whole country who claimed to defend the Beijing division added 10,000 to Su Dingfang's victory, and other than that, this battle can be said to be without waves.

The stunned Buyeo Yici didn't say a word, abandoned the city with the crown prince and fled, and went to Goguryeo.

It stands to reason that the kings have run away, and Baekje should be wiped out with a snap of his fingers.

But at this critical moment, the second son of the king of Baekje, Buyeo Tae, stepped forward.

His father and brother abandoned the country and fled, and Fuyu Tai resisted the heavy responsibility, he scattered all his family wealth to appease the people and soldiers of Siyu City, and ran around the city to appease the people.

In the end, under the witness of the soldiers, Buyeo Tai declared himself as the king, and wanted to live and die with Siyu City, vowing to fight against the tyrannical Tang Dynasty!

Infected by Xiaotai, another Baekje royal family stood up, and his name was Buyeo Wensi.

Buyeo Wensi is the son of the Baekje prince and the good grandson of the Baekje king, and it was his grandfather and father who abandoned the city and fled, and it was his own uncle who vowed to live and die with the city.

In the face of such a crisis, Fuyu Wensi followed his uncle's example and wore armor to inspire the people.

He first impassionedly recalled the difficulties of Baekje's founding and said:

"Although the king and the crown prince have run away, they will watch us from afar!"

Then, following the Han story, he ordered a rope to be tied to the city wall, and then the rope was thrown out of the city, declaring:

Whoever is not willing to live and die with Baekje can climb out of the city through this rope now and surrender to the Tang army.

The soldiers were infected by this atmosphere, and some people cried bitterly and beat the ground, vowing to protect the emperor and grandson, and Baekje has raised the soldiers for hundreds of years, and the dead day is in the present day!

But what was different from what they expected was that the imperial grandson's impassioned words turned:

"Now that I have suffered a sudden catastrophe, my uncle can't wait to set himself up as the king, if the Tang army retreats, I will have a way to live?"

In front of everyone's eyes, the imperial grandson showed his skillful rope sliding skills, and was the first to use the tied rope and went straight to the Tang army camp.

These words and actions are murderous to the defenders of the city:

The king and the crown prince have all run away, and the prince and grandson have also taken the lead in surrendering, what are you still desperate for?

The soldiers who reacted at the scene began to fight for the rope, lest it would be too late to surrender to the Tang army.

Xiao Tai lamented when he learned the news, and understood that the general situation had turned, so he ordered the city gate to be opened and surrendered to the Tang army.

But for Su Dingfang, the surprise was not over yet, not long after the city of Sihyun was broken, the king of Baekje and the crown prince came back and surrendered after a while.

There is no way, not to mention the difficult trek all the way to Goguryeo, it is still unknown whether Goguryeo will treat their father and son as human beings.

Datang is different, package delivery, work package accommodation, just enjoy it, at most it's okay to dance, that's not a thing!

Only a month before and after, Su Dingfang escorted tens of thousands of captives and the Baekje royal family back to the dynasty, so far the Baekje country was destroyed.

However, when Su Dingfang evacuated Baekje, he threw a cannon into the pit, which aroused the anger of the people.

The Tang army came across the sea with a full 100,000 people, but there were only two battles before and after, and only 10,000 were captured, and the credit and gains were not enough.

So after the city of Siyu was broken, the Tang army began to loot and loot, and did not seal the sword, and the history books recorded that "the strong died more".

Thanks to Su Dingfang's move, the Baekje restoration movement was vigorously launched. 】

Listening to the narration of the light curtain, Su Dingfang's smile became more and more difficult to stop.

Similarly, Li Shixian's complexion is becoming more and more complicated.

But after hearing the last sentence, Su Dingfang's smile froze.

Then this smile slowly climbed up the corner of Li Shiyun's mouth.

And Li Shiyun saw it clearly, and an obvious look of disappointment appeared on His Majesty's face.

It was originally strange that according to the light curtain, the Baekje royal family was rushing to surrender, and the soldiers' desire to fight to the death had disappeared.

In this case, where does Liu Renliang come from?

Now that I understand, it turns out that this Liu Renliang is here to deal with the aftermath of Su Dingfang.

Shaking his head secretly, Li Shiyun suddenly felt that his luck was not bad.

For example, Guo Zhifeng, who didn't listen to military orders and grabbed merit, didn't make trouble for him on the battlefield of Goguryeo, which was really blessed by his ancestors.

Sighing, Li Shiyun was the first to let go, and took the initiative to pat Su Dingfang's shoulder:

"There may be inside information in the meantime, and it may not be the responsibility of the party."

is also a leader in the war, Li Shiqian understands too well how important military discipline is to the army, and he can understand its difficulties even more.

Orders and prohibitions are the dream of every general, but in the vast majority of cases, soldiers can only be driven by rewards, especially such temporary conscripts.

If you can win a hundred battles, if you can win a lot, if you can make a lot of achievements, then you are the best general of the soldiers.

On the other hand, if you want to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers after almost no gains, unless they are really prestigious, the first thing the soldiers do is to cut off the general's head.

Next to him, Li Jing sighed quietly:

"The army you lead, there are many."

Su Dingfang was speechless, but arched his hand at Li Shimin with a little shame.

Li Shimin nodded in this regard, and there was still room to comfort Su Dingfang.

In the bottom of his heart, he remembered the question of why the Tang Army's combat strength declined that the younger generations had talked about before.

This battle to destroy Baekje seems to be a critical point in time.

Li Shimin took care of it himself, and Su Dingfang, who entered Baekje, returned from the Western Regions to destroy the country, and from the beginning of this battle, the imperial court no longer cared about the dead.

This was followed by the Battle of Baekje, in which the dead were not asked, and the living were also deducted from their military exploits.

And who came up with this summary? Liu Renliang.

Therefore, Li Shimin turned to pat Liu Renliang with a "you have suffered" expression.

Liu Renliang looked inexplicable.
