- Emperor Taizong Li Shimin led an army of 200,000 people from Youzhou and marched in person.
On September 15th, Taizong's army arrived at Yingzhou on the border between Datang and Goryeo. Liu Rengui, the governor of Yingzhou, went ten miles out of the city to greet him. Seeing the thousands of fine cavalry behind Liu Rengui, Taizong was quite satisfied with Liu Rengui's army management. When Taizong watched the navy's drills, Taizong truly understood Li Ke's intention of letting Liu Rengui sit in Yingzhou to form the navy.
Indeed, as the emperor of land warfare, Emperor Taizong, even though he was a layman in the military, clearly realized the power of this navy when he saw the drills of the navy formed by Liu Rengui.
At the same time, he had greater confidence in his northern expedition to Goryeo.
A few days later, the Tang army's grain, grass, baggage and siege equipment were transported to Yingzhou, and Taizong began to deploy combat missions. He asked Liu Rengui to lead 20,000 naval troops across the sea to attack Beisha City (ie Beish City, today's Dongdaheishan, Jin County, Liaoning Province). He also appointed Xue Wanche as the vanguard general and led an army of 50,000 to attack Liaodong City (today's Liaoyang, Liaoning Province), an important town in Liaodong. He personally commanded the remaining 150,000 troops and marched slowly, hoping to fight steadily and encroach completely. Goryeo will be destroyed.
When Li Ke, who was far away in Qingtang City, received Li Shimin's combat deployment on the Liaodong battlefield, he was very satisfied with Li Shimin's tactical arrangements. He felt that this method must be used to deal with Goryeo, advancing steadily and encroaching step by step. This is the safest way.
"Your Highness, there will be no problems in the current Liaodong war. The emperor is surrounded by King Rencheng, the governor of Youzhou Cheng Zhijie, and the governor of Nanya Xue Wanche. They are all veterans who followed the emperor in the east and west campaigns. Little Goryeo How long can it be arrogant?" Su Dingfang said, "However, the problem at hand - His Highness should still focus on Chang'an City, there are still princesses and princes in Chang'an City."
"Actually, when His Highness returns to the northwest this time, he should bring the princess and prince to Qingtang City!" Di Zhisun also said.
"It was Mei Niang's wish to let me come to the northwest. I also wanted to bring them to the northwest. But before leaving, Mei Niang took the initiative to ask to stay in Chang'an. She said that this way, my father could dispel his wariness. If everyone If you leave, your father will be more suspicious." Li Ke said lightly, "Hey - now let's wait until the Liaodong Campaign is over, and then we will see my father's decision."
"Does His Highness just want to sit back and wait for death?" Su Dingfang asked.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Li Ke asked puzzledly.
"If there is chaos in the Western Regions, wouldn't His Highness be able to command the troops again? Then we can capture the countries in the Western Regions to prevent any unexpected events!" Su Dingfang suggested, and only he who had followed Li Ke for decades would dare to do so. Anyone else would never dare to say such a thing.
"The countries in the Western Regions are not enough to be ignored now. What I am worried about is another powerful country in the west. They are the real enemies of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke thought for a moment and said, "So, if you want to fight against the countries in the Western Regions, , we must be prepared to fight with this country, but now my father is conquering Goryeo in the north. If we continue to conquer the countries in the Western Regions, the national treasury will be tight for a two-front war." Li Ke sighed and said, "It is not a last resort. , the materials we have in Huazhou and Qingtang City cannot be moved, this is our capital to compete with Chang'an City in the future."
"Your Highness" Di Zhisun suddenly said, "You can't take that step unless you have to!"
"It depends on the situation!" Li Ke sighed.
In fact, he himself doesn¡¯t know what to do in the future after reaching this point.
It is an indisputable fact that Li Shimin wanted to weaken his rights. However, to what extent it has weakened, I don't know yet.
????????? If we say that at the beginning, when our military power was weakened, we still had many ministers to help us in the court.
But what about now? His power is either in the local area or in the army. There is no one in the court or central government who can speak for him. If he further weakens his power and allows Changsun Wuji to become powerful, what will happen to him? Woolen cloth?
"You all go out and let me rest!" Li Ke said lightly. He suddenly felt a little tired, and suddenly thought of Hou Ruoyi's words, did he say he was tired? does it worth?
However, Li Ke smiled bitterly again. If he didn't fight hard, he would have to wait for death. Would he be willing to die like this?
Two months later, the report of the Liaodong battle reached Qingtang City. This was a special channel that used the Eagle Guard secret guards.
"Otherwise, according to normal station delivery, there would be no such speed at all.
The battle report said that the Tang Army's Liu Rengui Navy had broken through Bisha City and continued to attack the Goryeo mansion. Xue Wanche's army also advanced all the way, attacking the city and the stronghold with overwhelming force, killing the Goryeo army and crumbling to pieces.
Seeing this battle report, Li Ke¡¯s heart sank to the bottom.??
He knows very well that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Although Goryeo is not a first-rate power, the current Goryeo can be said to be the most powerful time in history. Although their own opium has poisoned the quality of their army soldiers these days, it is not like hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by Xue Wanche's 60,000 troops.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"You analyze this battle report!" Li Ke handed the battle report to Su Dingfang and Di Zhisun.
"Your Highness, the Koreans want to lure the enemy deeper-" Di Zhisun said.
"What's their purpose?" Li Ke asked.
"Is it already November? In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, how could the Tang army withstand such weather?" Di Zhisun analyzed, "The Koreans are waiting, and they are also gambling. They wait until the Tang Dynasty The army cannot adapt to the bitter cold weather in Liaodong, and they will only fight back when it becomes difficult to transport food and grass and the army is short of food and clothing."
"Also, in the area where Goryeo in Liaodong has been operating for decades, their defeat was not based on the practice of dispersing their forces. They dispersed the army to various places. When the Tang army penetrated deep into the hinterland of Goryeo, lacked food and grass, and could not adapt to the climate, they There will be another unexpected attack, and then the army will" Although Su Dingfang did not continue, Li Ke understood the result.
"The king will write to my father immediately, don't underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!" Li Ke said eagerly.
"Your Highness is concerned and confused. Doesn't the Emperor know the tricks of the Koreans?" Di Zhisun asked, "But the Emperor still advances rashly. Doesn't His Highness feel suspicious?"
"What do you mean?" Li Ke asked.
"Either the emperor wants to take advantage of the situation and set a trap for Korean ginseng, which will annihilate the main Korean army in one fell swoop; or the emperor is eager for success, so he is so reckless of worries." Di Zhisun analyzed, "So, His Highness is submitting a letter at this time, Not only will the emperor not accept it, but he will also dislike His Highness. Your Highness, please don¡¯t forget that most of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the Emperor."
"What do you think?" Li Ke was a little unhappy, but he knew that Di Zhisun's suggestion was right.
"Your Highness, since the Emperor did not let you go to Liaodong, it means that he does not want you to participate in the Liaodong War. Why do you have to plunge yourself into the quagmire of the Liaodong War?" Di Zhisun advised, "Your Highness, your real opponent now It¡¯s still the one from Chang¡¯an City. If the war between Datang and Goryeo falls into a stalemate and the war lasts for two or three years, the Emperor will not return to Chang¡¯an for a short period of time. Will His Highness still want to stay in Qingtang City by then?¡±
"Hmph - Changsun Wuji is an old owl, I will never let him go!" Li Ke said harshly.
Immediately, he began to analyze and discuss Chang An's recent situation with Su Dingfang and Di Zhisun.
