In fact, this can be regarded as an unintentional insertion of willows and willows, although these soldiers on the Liaodong front line of Goguryeo are not all from the Liaodong line, but most of them are from here, which means that among the people managed by the Tang Dynasty, there are families of these ordinary soldiers.

In the process of distributing two kinds of horses, horses and iron tools, these captured soldiers participated in transporting these things, and they participated in the whole process.

Under such circumstances, how could these captives not empathize? The Tang Dynasty did not rob any of the common people's property, but distributed them with grain, iron sickles, plowshares, animal power horses, and so on.

Although they have to grow grain for Datang for a year, how much can the people sell their surplus grain for a year? The money could not buy back so many iron tools in Goguryeo, let alone horses.

Even if it's three or four households, one horse.

And Datang does not have any other conditions for providing these, if these people run away with these iron tools, then Datang will be a pure loss.

How could these acts not be touched by these captive soldiers?

What's more, how did Datang treat these captives? Although they had to work, they were just helping to transport food, etc., and the food they had for these captives was the same as that of the Tang soldiers.

They were also treated when they were wounded, even if they were accidentally injured while they were being captured, and they were allowed to rest.

Which country would treat them like this? Although these soldiers have not read books, they have heard their superiors brag a lot, such as the affairs of the former Sui, and how the Tang Dynasty detained soldiers before and so on.

But now, it's not at all the same as what they knew, and what they had heard about history before.

Not to mention the prisoners, even when these soldiers were not fighting, the work they helped some generals or nobles would not give them such good treatment.

Under such circumstances, when the middle and high-ranking generals in these captives were all held separately, leaving only some low-level soldiers to take prisoners, they had no desire to run away at all.

Even if you let them go, they may not want to leave.

Li Shiji dared to use these low-level soldiers naturally because of this, he had tested them before using these soldiers, for example, using a small number of Tang soldiers and a large number of prisoners to transport supplies to these villages, and secretly sending troops to protect them.

If these captives rebel, although these Tang soldiers are wearing armor, the difference in numbers between the two sides is too large, and these captives are fully capable of rebelling.

But they don't have it at all.

This is true not just for one team, but for dozens of teams released at the same time.

That's pretty telling.

Therefore, now Li Shiji can rest assured that these captives will be handed over to the auxiliary soldiers behind him, and then the government soldiers will lead them to transport logistics materials and so on.

Anyway, Datang has enough food, and he is not afraid of consumption on the road, so just let them transport it, so that the energy of these captives can be consumed, which is much better than keeping them in place. It is also possible to increase the number of people who are transporting.

If you have food, you can do whatever you want.

And there are many things that can also be tested in this process, if there is no problem with these prisoners until the Black Bone City is taken, it can even be considered later, if there is no need for manpower, these prisoners can be directly released home, or let some Tang soldiers take these prisoners to manage the security of various cities.

In this way, more Datang elites can be extracted.

All in all, Li Shiji is not in a hurry now, but in twenty days, Datang has almost taken half of Goguryeo's territory, and the remaining half, at most two months is enough.

Pyongyang is not far from the city of black bones, and the distance in a straight line is only 400 miles.

Just when Li Shiji was about to send a large army to surround the Black Bone City, a new piece of information made Li Shiji give up this plan.

"Are you saying that Yuangai Suwen sent Hubar to lead 50,000 troops to support Wugu City, and then he will join Wugu City with 10,000 cavalry, and finally support Liaodong City?" Li Shiji asked with ecstatic expression.

"Yes! General, this is the information that General Liu Zhao asked me to send, the army is only one day away from the Black Bone City at most, and if you count the time to cross the river, it will only take three days at most to reach the Black Bone City. ”

It would take two days for 50,000 troops to cross the river, after all, there is no bridge on the Yalu River now.

"In that case...... He Li was ordered to lead 8,000 cavalry to the city of black bones day and night to provoke in the past few days, but the enemy immediately retreated if he had the intention of attacking, and convened a meeting of Hou Junji and other generals. Li Shiji said quickly.

Their army was still about one hundred and fifty miles away from the Black Bone City, and if they wanted to march quickly, they could reach it in one day and one night.

But now it seems that there is no need for this, and the 60,000 army supports Liaodong City, which means that Yuangai Suwen does not know that the Liaodong line has all fallen.

But this is normal, even if it is Li Shiji, if he is not a general of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty has twice the number of troops, it is difficult to believe that the Tang Dynasty can conquer more than 20 cities garrisoned by 100,000 elite and 50,000 auxiliaries in 20 days.

According to past experience, sometimes it takes several days to capture a city that is not a fortified city, and it is normal for some fortified cities to hold on for a month or two.

How is it possible to take all of the more than 20 cities in 20 days?

It's just that Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't imagine that the current Datang was far beyond his expectations.

When the city wall is like paper paste in front of Datang, it will only be a matter of minutes to take down the other party.

After Hou Junji and others came over for a meeting, Li Shiji showed them the information passed by Liu Zhao.

After reading it, Hou Junji's face immediately turned overjoyed, "Great, since they don't know the latest battle situation, this means that they must leave the city wall protection of the Black Bone City, for us, as long as we find an excellent ambush terrain, it means that we can wipe out all the enemies!" ”

"The terrain of ambushing 60,000 people, this is not easy to find." Wei Chigong shook his head and said.

"In the middle of the journey from Wugu City to Liaodong City, most of the area is mountainous, and there is always a suitable place." Hou Junji said, "There is a lot of terrain we have passed along the way. And with such a large number of troops on the other side, in fact, all they can choose is the official way. ”

"As long as we follow the official road, we will definitely find a suitable place."

"Yes, yes, but the other side has 30,000 cavalry, which means that it is possible for the other party's scouts to be ten miles away. Even with the terrain on both sides, it's not hard to get the scouts to climb the peaks. ”
