    At the same time, a relay race was also taking place in the Hebei states. Those states that bordered Goguryeo could send troops to attack, but those that did not have the right to send troops, but they were also smart.  They all wrote to the envoys and town generals of the bordering states: I heard that your place is in chaos. The town army is too busy, and the government officials are too busy to eat two meals at a time. Do you have enough manpower?  If it's not enough, we can lend you a little or more. We can still give you three thousand or four thousand soldiers. Well, why not lend it to you as well as the captain? We will be at your disposal. But what if I wait for you?  After the turmoil subsides, just don¡¯t forget our kindness of borrowing troops.

    oh?  Lend us troops?  Okay, okay, come all, you don¡¯t need to bring food and grass, and you don¡¯t need to bring bedding. Just bring the armored soldiers and their own horses. Well, I will lend you a hundred soldiers, and I will give you a horse or something else next year.  Soldiers from the southern states of Hebei were pouring northward in a steady stream. Not to mention the joy of the soldiers, they never thought that as a town army, they would be able to join the battle to conquer Goguryeo before the border guards.  , this is the achievement of the first battle, it was arranged by the old man Jian'an Hou, so isn't it a proper victory?  As long as this war is over, the land in Hebei will no longer be used. Most people can disarm and go home, plant a few acres of land, plant something else, and then travel to the Central Plains when they have free time.  , let¡¯s see if there is any way to make a living to supplement the family income. Life is beautiful.

    There are twenty-five states in Hebei, excluding those border states, and there are more than a dozen states. Each state "borrows" 3,400 soldiers, which is 50,000 to 60,000. In this way, plus the original 50,000 to 60,000 and 50,000  The garrison now gathered more than 100,000 people. When King Luo publicly requested the imperial court to send troops for support, these 100,000 people were divided into three groups and followed the originally set route to attack Goguryeo.  Is it unprecedented for the people of Goguryeo to panic?  The southerners actually sent troops in the middle of winter?  Originally, he had planned to gather troops in a month or two before the ice and snow on the Amur River melted, and send strong troops outside the Tang Dynasty to contain the Tang Dynasty. Why did things seem to be out of his control?

    Immediately I realized that I was afraid that I had been tricked by the Tang Dynasty. I actually let the Jianzhou navy come in and asked them to go to the border between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty. So I quickly mobilized my troops and generals, trying to take down the Jianzhou navy first.  The state navy cleaned up and then turned around to deal with the army. In their opinion, would they start a war with us in winter?  Is that just looking for death?

    Unexpectedly, they came to their senses and wanted to catch up with the Jianzhou Navy, but they couldn't catch up. In the snow, it took at least three times longer than usual to take a step when it was thigh deep, but they couldn't catch up.  They were familiar with the snow. Ordinarily, the Jianzhou Navy was not familiar with the snow, so they should have walked slowly. However, they chased for several days and asked the people again, and found that the distance between them and the Jianzhou Navy was getting bigger and bigger.  Far away, and very strangely, the Jianzhou Navy actually chose to walk up the river, walking on such smooth ice, and the speed was no less than on the flat ground. Moreover, it seemed that it was not easy to find the Jianzhou Water.  Traces of the Army

    Little did they know that the spiked soles given by Wang Kuang played a very important role. The Amur River and several other frozen rivers were so wide that when the wind blew, the snow on the ice was blown away.  Quite a few, and the rest is less than a foot deep. There are many wide areas that are even directly exposed on the ice. With the spiked boots on their feet, the soldiers walk with a squeak and no use at all.  The horse slipped and fell, and the horses were originally traveling faster than people. When they got the toothed boots, Li Yesi and Wang Linbo knew its wonderful use, and even the horseshoes were replaced with coarse teeth, but they were not so  Horseshoes have long teeth that wear out quickly. It is estimated that when the ice and snow melt, the coarse teeth will be almost worn out and can be used again without needing to be replaced.

    Each member of the Jianzhou Navy was given a cloak, which was a fine paid by the rich and powerful families in various places. The main thing was wool. As it happened, the cloak was made with white sheepskin on one side and black on the other.  When the sky is bright and you can see with your eyes, put the white side facing out. Even for horses, try to choose white horses. If there are no white horses, such as five-flowered horses, choose gray and white. If there are none, just choose them.  White fabric was used to cover most of the horse's body, which can give the horse grief and conceal its color.

    And when the sky darkened and they couldn't see clearly, they all turned their black side outwards. Even their weapons were treated like this. In this way, it was difficult to spot the advancing army in the distance.  It's snowy, and no one can keep their eyes open for a long time. If you want to see in the distance, you have to squint, otherwise your eyes will be damaged if you are exposed to the snow light for a long time. There is no need for the Jianzhou Navy to look far away.  , their task is simple, just go up the river, don't care about the direction, just follow the river.

    Under this situation, the march speed of the Jianzhou Navy was far beyond the imagination of the Goguryeo people. In addition, the Jianzhou Navy selected southern soldiers to go out. It was the first time that they had experienced such a cold winter, and their physical functions were still the same.  Being in an imaginary state, I don¡¯t feel too cold, and my sad clothes are worn.We have brought enough. We will march during the day, and at night everyone will burrow into the sleeping bags made of goose down. The tents will be set up outside to block the wind. If there are more people crowded together, they will not be cold at all. All they need is that the soldiers on guard at night can be in time.  Just wake up the soldiers sleeping on the outside at regular intervals and change positions with the soldiers sleeping in the middle.

    To make matters worse, Li Shiji, the general manager of Bingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, issued a proclamation, saying that the Uighurs no longer existed and that the land of the Uighurs was already the territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Goguryeo people ignored this fact and actually sent troops to plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty in winter.  The Uighurs are intolerable and intolerable. In order to seek an explanation for the Uighurs who are now the people of the Tang Dynasty, and also to strictly implement what the sage said, anyone who hurts me, the Tang Dynasty, will be repaid tenfold.  The Tang Dynasty issued an edict to destroy the ten people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Bingzhou raised 100,000 troops and formally declared war on Goguryeo.

    Li Shiji had already followed Wang Kuang's suggestion and left only a small stretch of land bordering the Uighurs and Goguryeo without sending troops. The people there were all Uighurs, thus giving the Goguryeo people an illusion that the Uighur War in the Tang Dynasty was far away.  At the end of the day, there were very few soldiers on this line, and Li Shiji led his army to detour to the north of the Uighurs early. He and the Hebei army led by Qin Qiong and the Jianzhou navy led by Li Yesi came all at once.  He surrounded him from all sides and surrounded him wholeheartedly.

    Goguryeo had only 100,000 combatable troops, and the Jiannan Army captured 30,000, leaving only 70,000 in office. In addition, the Tang army suddenly launched an attack, with troops blooming on all sides. The Goguryeo people were caught off guard, and they were cut off in less than a month.  It became several pieces. All the King of Goguryeo could order was the people around his court. All the messenger soldiers sent out almost never escaped the fate of being captured and killed. Occasionally, one or two arrived at their destination, but  The destination is also besieged and cannot send reinforcements to Wang Ting.

    In addition, in the middle of winter, almost all the Goguryeo people were hiding in their own shacks that were half buried underground. The hasty assembly of the army became more difficult. Therefore, the Goguryeo people almost did not react.  , and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had lost most of their territory, with a few soldiers and horses and more than 200,000 people, most of them suffered injuries due to falls and injuries due to unfamiliarity with the terrain during the march.

    When the Goguryeo people realized that Pi San and others who had returned with their prince were also the Tang dynasty, they could no longer be found. Just as they were exhausted, suddenly the palace was on fire, and the city was in chaos.  , the people ran around and shouted: "The Tang soldiers are coming, the Tang soldiers are coming!"

    However, when Luo Pengquan learned that he was going to attack Goguryeo, he gave Shangguan a plan. He gathered the power of more than ten states, recruited a thousand dead soldiers, and sneaked into the royal court of Goguryeo early. These thousand people were all  Those who dispersed into Goguryeo. The previous discord between Datang and Goguryeo was also a secret discord. On the surface, it was still good for you, me, and everyone. There was no restriction on the trade exchanges between merchants from both sides, especially the Goguryeo people.  Whether military weapons or civilian equipment and other daily necessities, there is no shortage of materials sold from the Tang Dynasty. They dare not prohibit the exchanges of merchants, porters and others, which allows Luo Pengquan to take advantage of the loopholes.

    As early as when he first returned to Hebei, inspired by Wang Kuang's words, he secretly sent several waves of people to sneak into Goguryeo. Some people in Hebei also intermarried with Goguryeo people, and their descendants looked like Goguryeo.  The Goguryeo people were all the same and could speak fluent Goguryeo. These people were sent to buy a lot of properties in advance. After Luo Pengquan and others sneaked in, they spread out and waited.

    Luo Pengquan and others had met Pi San, and God wanted to help Wang Kuang. They actually let Pi San and other talents arrive at the royal court of Goguryeo. Not long after, they met Luo Pengquan. Both sides knew each other's details, and they didn't even have to think about it.  We gathered together to discuss and decided on the time and method to take action.

    As soon as there was chaos in the royal court, they immediately broke up to fight. It was dry in winter, and most of the houses of the Goguryeo people were made of wood and birch bark, covered with thick thatch. They were most afraid of fire.  Just like that, Luo Pengquan and others set fires everywhere, and then took the lead in shouting that the Tang soldiers were coming, causing the entire Goguryeo royal court to be in chaos. More than a thousand dead soldiers, guided by the route to the king's account that Pi San had discovered long ago, touched the ground.  Arriving at the king's tent, after a bloody battle, the King of Goguryeo and his concubines and children were captured alive.
