"This Japanese country does not know how to fight."

Li Shiyun has already made a bold assertion about this Japanese state.

Since the pre-Qin period, the generals of the Han family have all attached great importance to intelligence.

After all, the famous words of the grandson of the soldier are known to anyone who leads the soldiers:

Those who know each other and know themselves will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and those who do not know each other and themselves will die in every battle.

And at the end of "The Beginning of the Plan", Sun Tzu said that the art of war in this whole article is nothing more than two things: "school to calculate, and ask for feelings".

The "Usage Chapter" also concludes, "Those who are prophets must be taken from others, and those who know the feelings of the enemy are also."

Therefore, all the generals of the Han family attach great importance to intelligence, after all, this is the real "important point of the army".

As a result, the Japanese state blindly believed in second-hand news.

"Don't think about it, Goguryeo and Baekje can't tell the truth, they need reinforcements from the Japanese army to resist the Tang Dynasty, right?"

Li Jing was silent before, but at this time, he listened to Li Shixian's explanation and thought for a while:

"This Japanese country is trapped in an island country, and there are no strong enemies to fight for, and there is a sea to block it."

"I'm afraid...... It's not like me, it's more. ”

Du Ruhui was thoughtful, but he understood some of Li Jing's unfinished words.

Just as there are differences between the north and the south, it is difficult to compare the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The Japanese kingdom originated on the island, and most of its customs were completely different from those of China.

Therefore, it is not possible to speculate on the thoughts of the Wa Kingdom based on the ideas of the Tang people and Han'er.

But for a while, Du Ruhui became interested in this Japanese country.

When there was Tang territory on this island, he wanted to see it.

[When the Wa Kingdom officially entered the war, in Baekje's opinion, the Korean Peninsula had entered garbage time.

Goguryeo used his face to beat Tang Jun's hands red.

Although our Baekje Restoration Army can't enter Siyu City, the Tang Army can't fight either.

As long as you persevere, victory will surely belong to Baekje!

So the prince of Baekje, Buyeo Fengzhang, who had returned from studying in the Wa Kingdom, once again launched his traditional performing arts: opening champagne at half time.

He sent an envoy to show off to Liu Renliang, saying:

The army of our ally Wa is already on the way, and the king can still beat the gong and drum to send each other off, if you don't know each other and continue to resist stubbornly, wait for the arrival of the Wa Heavenly Soldiers, you will wait for death!

Liu Renliang responded very decently, and after listening to it, he politely sent the envoy out of the city, saying that I should consider it.

But as soon as the messenger left on the front foot, Liu Renliang set up a large army on the back foot, and after nightfall, he couldn't wait to launch a "despicable and shameless" sneak attack.

The Baekje Restoration Army, which was already celebrating the victory in advance, did not expect this at all, and was defeated on the spot, and Fuyu Fengzhang fled all the way for more than 200 miles and did not return.

Liu Renliang had been planning this opportunity for too long, and seeing this, he did not hesitate to lead the army to advance, and won successive battles, and captured Jinhyeonseong, the military town of the Baekje Restoration Army.

Jinhyeon Fortress is to Baekje and Silla, just as Tongguan is to Chang'an and Luoyang, and Yoo In-rail's reoccupation of this place means reconnecting with Silla.

The dilemma of fighting alone ended, and the Tang army, under the leadership of Liu Renliang, officially began to turn from defense to offense.

After the recital was sent to Luoyang, Gaozong was very happy, so he agreed to Liu Renliang's request on the spot.

In the era of cold weapons, because there is a serious lag in the transmission of information, generals who can win battles often have superhuman vision, can accurately predict the trend of the battle situation, and make arrangements in advance, which is the case with Liu Renliang.

When writing a memo to Gaozong, the Tang army had just captured Jinhyeon Fortress, but Liu Renliang calmly judged that the Baekje rebels were no longer worried, and the Tang army would eventually face the Japanese state on the Korean Peninsula, so let's have more sailors!

Some people describe Gaozong and Yuan Shao as having a little similarity in military strategy: they are strategic and indecisive when they are in a tailwind, and they can be called an example of the British lord when they fight against the wind.

In the face of Liu Renliang's request for help, Gaozong did not hesitate to agree, and did not even recruit naval troops from Jianghuai according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, but directly ordered Shandong to recruit 7,000 soldiers nearby, send more than 170 warships, and Sun Renshi led the support of Liu Renliang.

At the same time, Liu Renliang's predictions of Baekje were fulfilled one by one:

The ghost room Fuxin wanted to support the army and stand on his own, so he killed Daochen, who was bent on recovering the country, and Fuyu Fengzhang was unwilling to be left in power, so he took the lead to kill the ghost room Fuxin in the name of rebellion.

The bloody storm at the top also made the middle-level generals disheartened, so Baekje generals such as Heiya Changzhi and Shazha Xiangru rejoined the Tang Army to help Liu Renliang exterminate the "Baekje rebels".

In this case, Fuyu Fengzhang can only call his father to the Japanese army: If you don't support me, I'll die to show you!

The Wa Kingdom said brother, don't worry, our army is invincible, watch me kill Silla from the ground and outflank the Tang army!

At that time, Silla had already completed economic reforms and could be called the trading center of Northeast Asia, and a large part of the reason why the Japanese army chose to enter Silla was that the nobles coveted the wealth of Silla, and after landing on the shore, they were like dogs in bun shops, lingering for five months.

It wasn't until Liu Renliang hit the temporary capital of the Baekje Restoration Army, Zhouliu Fortress, that he saw that he couldn't support it anymore, and the Japanese army, who claimed to be going to break through Silla from the land, suddenly remembered:

Oh, we have a boat.

In August 663, the Japanese army regrouped 37,000 men, drove more than 1,000 warships, and marched north to support Fuyu Fengzhang.

Liu Renliang watched the fire in the cave, so that Liu Renyuan and Sun Renshi led the army to besiege Zhou Liucheng to fish and lure the Japanese to rescue.

He personally led the sailors to garrison the Baijiang Estuary and prepared to feed the fish with the Japanese, and everything was ready to wait for the devil to come to pay respects.

This was the first confrontation between China and Japan in history. 】

The people in the Chengdu government were eye-opening.

"There was a lot of war." Liu Bei frowned and commented.

"Quite a feat." Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and commented.

"Quite a lot of unwise." Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and commented.

Kong Ming looked at the three of them, shook his feather fan and laughed:

"Now it seems that there are only two difficulties in opening up and expanding the territory, one is in logistics, and the other is in pacification."

"Yu Bucai, I know a little bit about this."

When the others heard this, they pouted together in their hearts:

If you know a little, we are all without wisdom!

Pang Tong stared at Kong Ming, and for a while he was a little troubled.

If you talk about the vertical and horizontal between states and counties, and take advantage of the situation to win people's hearts, he thinks that he is not bad.

But to look at the world, and plan the general situation to determine the people's will to govern, Kong Ming is even better.

Just like he and Yi De Nengqi broke through Yangping Pass and quickly settled Hanzhong, it was Kong Ming's flowing horses and siege equipment that played a pivotal role.

On the Jingxiang battlefield, Yun Changyuan won a quick battle, and the giant boat was mighty, and the biggest stakeholder was still engineering ordnance.

It seems that Kong Ming's exploits cannot be seen at a glance, but if you count them carefully, there are Kong Ming's exploits everywhere.

Therefore, for a while, Pang Tong's heart was even more vigilant: if he is complacent in front of him, he will be thrown away by Kong Ming!

Facing Pang Tong's eyes, Kong Ming smiled and was relieved, and then looked up at the light curtain thoughtfully:

"This Gaozong ...... Quite similar to Yuan Benchu? ”

At this time, Kong Ming also sighed at the thoughts of future generations, and the two who were irrelevant could be pulled together, but it made sense at a glance.

Zhang Fei also understood the meaning of the later generations, touched his chin and said:

"The more troops you go out, the weaker you become...... Isn't this the big brother? ”

"Big brother is quite similar to Yuan Benchu?"

Immediately, Liu Bei handed over the eyes of the knife man, so Zhang Fei immediately changed his words obediently:

"Uh...... It's Yuan Benchu's brother, no, it's Gaozong's brother. ”

Leaning less, Zhang Fei, who covered his head, was indignant:

No matter how you say it, you are blamed, the eldest brother is really domineering!

Liu Bei, who was a lot more comfortable, stretched his waist and suddenly felt refreshed:

"The Korean Peninsula seems to be a land of poverty."

The map given by later generations can be vaguely seen that the Korean Peninsula is full of mountains, rivers and hills, and the non-fertile soil is also:

"It's just that if you want to conquer the country, you should control this place."

"Just take it slowly." Kong Ming made a conclusion.

Kong Ming naturally thought about it, and the final conclusion was that there was no need to worry.

After all, now that the Han family has not said anything, this Japanese country really has nothing to fear, after all, combing its deeds also understands that it is not until the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that this Japanese country can be regarded as enlightened.

Kong Ming understands the complicated feelings of the younger generations towards the Japanese state, but it is precisely because of this that he should develop steadily, change ships and ships, survey maritime geography, and strengthen himself.

Otherwise, if you are rash and rash, when you can't catch it, you want to remotely control the entire territory of the Japanese country, and the slightest mistake is a move to raise a tiger.

……

The complicated situation on the Korean Peninsula also opened Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Zhi's decisive decision-making also made Li Shimin nod frequently.

At the same time, an idea popped up:

Could it be that my legacy is too rich and it is a sin?

Gently pulling his beard, Li Shimin somewhat understood why there were cubs selling Yetian and not feeling distressed.

Raised in the deep palace since he was a child, not a single soldier or soldier was saved by him, and not a single sail or boat was knocked by him.

waved his hand, hundreds of thousands of troops were all available for dispatch, and in a word, thousands of sails crossed the sea for Tang to die in a foreign land.

Although it is true that Li Shimin is the "son of Taiyuan" as later generations, he has seen how soldiers wail and die for several years, and has experienced a stubborn battle with the enemy army in just a few dozen miles of land.

He would certainly tell his son about these experiences, but it was clear that telling was telling after all.

Maybe the princes should really be allowed to understand the people's livelihood, Li Shimin thought to himself.

But at the same time, Li Shimin also saw the news of Silla's wealth.

Although the wealth of their generation is not worth mentioning to Datang, since it is profitable:

"The wealth of Silla can also be the wealth of the Tang Dynasty."

Du Ruhui also came over to study the map in detail, took the charcoal, drew a line between Laizhou and the Wa Kingdom, and moved the charcoal pen to connect Liaodong with the Wa Kingdom.

The intersection of the two lines was completed in Silla, so Du Ruhui also had his own opinion:

"If you want to level the eastern border of the Tang Dynasty, it is quite important to control Silla."

Moreover, Du Ruhui also saw clearly that if this kind of maritime trade route was opened and profitable, the maritime merchants of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong would probably compete to go to sea, and in the long run, as long as Tang Wei did not fall, the customs of the eastern border may be very different.

But what are the attractive enough benefits in the East China Sea? Du Ruhui fell into deep thought, and then remembered Gao Xianzhi, and what the light curtain said casually at that time:

"Silla maid?"
