Once the defenders and people in Anshi City knew that if the Tang army took Anshi City, they would massacre the people in the city, and they would definitely defend Anshi City to the death. The military and civilians guarded Anshi, which is one heart-to-heart, does not lack people, supplies, and food and grass. How can the Tang army take down such a small force?

From the time of getting promoted to the tent and gathering, Xuan Shijing has been standing in the corner and silently watching these bigwigs formulate strategies for Anshicheng, without saying a word. At this moment, a word suddenly appeared, and everyone's eyes were attracted by Xuan Shijing.

"Boy, don't say much." Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was a little different at this time, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly spoke to stop Xuan Shijing.

Li Ji is a military master, and his words and deeds have his own reasons. After breaking the city, he killed the whole city. One is to promote the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is to put some pressure on the people in Anshi City.

But Xuan Shijing knew that it was because of Li Ji's saying that the whole city was killed, but the Goguryeo people in Anshi turned the pressure into motivation, making the Tang army even more difficult outside Anshi.

Yang Wanchun is a hero. Nowadays, the two major forces in Goguryeo are Quangai Suwen, who rebels against the Gao royal family, and on the other hand, they are those who adhere to the era of Gao Jianwu's reign, represented by Yang Wanchun.

However, Gao Huanquan, except for the title of Prince Rongliu, had no power in Goguryeo.

Gao Huanquan was just a hostage who had been in Chang'an since he was a child. If Gao Jianwu peacefully gave the power in his hand to Gao Huanquan in the future, the relationship between Gao Huanquan and the Tang Dynasty would be enough to make him firmly sit on the throne of King Rongliu. However, now Gao Jianwu has not finished dealing with the past, so he died under Quan Gai Suwen's knife. Gao Huanquan was no longer valuable to Goguryeo. Since Gao Jianwu was killed, Quan Gai Suwen would not let Gao Huanquan take the throne of King Rongliu.

"It's okay, Jing'er, let's talk about your opinion." His Majesty Li Er looked serious and looked at Xuan Shijing and said.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Xuan Shijing with complicated eyes, then lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Anshi City is not as good as other cities in Liaodong. There are 100,000 elite Goguryeo soldiers in the city. Previously, Yang Wanchun sent 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers to attack Beisha City, and was divided by me and Lord Zhang Jian. Now there are about 90,000 troops in the city. Anshi City is the city with the most troops stationed in Goguryeo in Liaodong. You can see from the warehouse of Liaodong City that one or two of them are enough to supply the 80,000 troops in three months. What about Jian'an City?" Xuan Shijing slowly analyzed: "What I mean is that Anshi City is not short of food."

"I don't plan to surround and not attack." His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.

"What I mean is that Anshi City does not lack food or people. If the news of the massacre leaks into Anshi City, Anshi City will definitely work together to fight the siege of the army. This will be even more unfavorable to us. Not only does it not intimidate others, it will increase their morale." Xuan Shijing explained.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "What he said makes sense."

Since we know the fate after being broken, we have to resist to the end even if we fight to the death. Maybe we still have a chance to survive. There are only so many people in the Tang army. The city of Anshi is high and the city is deep. According to the right time, place and people, how can we say that it is invincible?

"In this way, we are going to confuse the defenders of Anshicheng, first defeat Gao Yanshou, Gao Hui really reinforces, and then plot against Anshicheng." His Majesty Li Er made a conclusion.

The winter in Liaodong made Xuan Shijing wrapped in a thick coat. Even so, if nothing happened, Xuan Shijing would not step out of the tent easily. A brazier was burned in the tent, which was warm and comfortable. The firewood was burned, and there was no such a breathless carbon gas.

"Marty, great victory!" Xue Rengui hurriedly ran in outside the camp.

"Well? Where is General Cheng?" Xuan Shijing raised his head and asked.

"Yes." Xue Rengui's cheeks were red, and he was not sure whether they were frozen or excited: "General Cheng and General Niu defeated the reinforcements of Goguryeo in Huashan. Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led more than 36,000 people to surrender.

"There are another 36,000 surrendered troops. Think about it, there are still some in Liaodong City. It is a great force to gather together." Xuan Shijing sat next to the brazier, added two more pieces of firewood, and used the branches to pick up the strong firewood burning in the brazier: "Come here, sit down and say."

"It is definitely unrealistic to place it in such a huge Liaodong city into the territory of the Tang Dynasty in one go." Xue Rengui sat on the wooden steps on the other side of the brazier, stretched out his hands and baked them above the brazier. After so long outside, his hands were frozen.

"Liaodong was originally from my Central Plains dynasty. Goguryeo has been stolen in Liaodong for so many years, and it is natural for him to come back. But you are right. The place in Liaodong has been in the hands of the Goguryeo people for too long. It is impossible to completely take it back for a while. It can only take longer and slowly become naturalized to the Tang Dynasty." Xuan Shijing said: "The Tang Dynasty has worked hard to conquer Liaodong. Once the army leaves, the majority of the population here is not the Goguryeo people. In the bitter and cold land of Liaodong, how many people in Guanzhong will migrate here."

"According to what the Marquis said, Liaodong is really a waste of money." Xue Rengui said.

"Not all, as long as there are people here, the court will give some more policies to develop." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Look at the map behind you. This Liaodong Peninsula is a good place. The Liaodong Peninsula is suitable for establishing ports and facing Dengzhou and other places across the sea. It makes the entire sea area of ​​this area the Tang Dynasty's inland sea. For the navy, it is a natural training ground. The Liaodong Peninsula can also serve as a springboard for the Tang Dynasty to control the Three Koreans, not only the Three Koreans, but also the Japan across the sea."

Xue Rengui had only a little understanding of Xuan Shijing's words, because he did not have the "wide" experience of Xuan Shijing. There were too many places for Xuan Shijing to learn from how to develop the Liaodong Peninsula. It was just that Anshicheng was like a nail nailed here, which was really nauseating.

These words were told to Xue Rengui because Xuan Shijing knew that Xue Rengui in front of him would be sent by the emperor to Goguryeo in the future to preside over all the affairs of Goguryeo, and also left the reputation of benevolent politics Goguryeo in history.

"What the Marquis means is that after the Tang Dynasty took control of Liaodong, he tried his best to develop the navy?" Xue Rengui was stunned.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, no matter how the Tang Dynasty expands to the outside world in the future, it will be inseparable from the navy. Not to mention the distance, the three Koreans and Japan are all under the military front of the Tang Dynasty. Don't believe that these foreign races will sincerely surrender to the Tang Dynasty."
