From this letter, Qin Wenyuan already knew that Li Shimin acquiesced to him becoming the king. Although he did not issue an edict to confirm and grant the iron certificate of the alchemy, it was just the emperor's face to protect the royal family from being coerced by his ministers, so that he could understand the holy will and then perform great feats.
, at that time, it was justifiable for the imperial court to grant him the title of king, and to send Li Jing to send troops to Goryeo was just for the strategic purpose of the imperial court having reason to include Goryeo as a vassal state in the future.
Qin Wenyuan didn't mind that Li Shimin had such thoughts, wasn't it because the imperial court wanted some benefits? Why don't you put Li Jing's army in the battle with "Baekje", so that "Silla" had long surrendered to the imperial court?
The victory over "Baekje", which was also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, stabilized the situation in the entire peninsula. After a while, as Princess Gaoqin ruled the Goryeo Kingdom, she gained support and development from the Xu family, making the country rich and powerful.
If the goal is achieved, are you still afraid that "Silla" and "Baekje" will not be included under your rule?
As the saying goes: "You have your plan, and I have my ladder!"
Li Shimin and Qin Wenyuan each have their own agendas, and they will depend on their final strength.
Without further ado, after Wen Yanbo finished reading the imperial edict, Wei Xiaojie saluted Qin Wenyuan after receiving the edict.
"Wei and Mr. Qin are both officials of the Tang Dynasty. I sincerely request you to return Gubeikou to the Youzhou garrison so that the relationship between the two armies can normalize and no longer kill each other. I wonder if Mr. Qin can fulfill Wei's wish?"
"It can be returned. However, I have to say something here in front of many ministers of the imperial court. Can Master Wei guarantee that the Youzhou army will not go out to harass the people again? If not, then Youzhou will be included in the rule of this king.
Go up and make Goryeo a barrier to the northeast of Xiaotang, so that Wei Xiaoren can lead the Youzhou army back to Beijing to enjoy the blessings."
Faced with Li Shimin's suggestion, Su Dingfang naturally dared not say anything and looked at Tang Jun and other court officials for help.
Tang Jun leaned over and said to Wu Kangqiao:
"It's bad! His eldest son is just joking with the little man Wei, so let's return Gubeikou to the Youzhou Army. The old man is also bad and will follow him to Liaodong to discuss how to retreat from Qin Wen, and wait until the emperor's eastward expedition to Wukang
His will is to disobey his arrangements, but let’s see if his elder son is not capable of commanding a small army.”
Li Shimin earned enough face and ordered Zhou Cang, the leader of his bodyguards, to pass on his military orders, so that the Qin army would be prepared to take over the defense of "Gubeikou" with the "Youzhou" army, and wait until the Qin army went to "Youzhou" to encircle and suppress Li You.
, the whole army returned to the "Pingzhou" station to rest and recuperate before making the delivery.
"The general must be so polite, and he can't belittle himself. I think that officials should be incompetent when they have the people in their hearts. The truth is: being an official is to make decisions for the people, and it is like going home to sell sweet potatoes! You are an official,
Is it necessary that the people in the government can live and work in peace and contentment? It seems that these officials who only care about their own interests but know the life and death of the people are a shame for me. Now that the Youzhou incident has come to an end, the general must mention it again.
, I hope that the general will put less emphasis on the people during his career as an official, so that he will be more fortunate in governance."
Regarding Li Shimin's strategy, the Tang Army, Goryeo, etc. certainly knew the profound meaning of it. To put it bluntly, Goryeo was able to defeat the "Qin Wen" royal city with one army even with or without the joint action of the Xu Army, and the Xu Army intervened in the war.
, it is just that he wants to gain advantage and strategic presence here. In this case, Li Shimin's strategy of sending Xu Jun to fight in "Baekje" is naturally understandable.
The next day, the Tang army, Su Dingfang and Li Shimin's troops left "Youzhou" to clear the "Gubeikou" pass, while Xiongjinkou, Li Jingsu and others led their troops to escort Li You back to the capital.
The soldier of Goryeo used a long spear to guide him to the north. He picked up the enemy general's head from the rebel army as if he were trying to retrieve an object from a bag. Goryeo's powerful rocket crossbowmen fired rockets, and arrows that resounded and carried flames were lost and torn apart.
Countless enemy troops were burned to death, and every sharp arrow of the bow and sniper would take away the lives of the enemy generals. However, Xinwukang was like a red-eyed beast, killing the enemy bravely despite his own casualties. This shows that the hatred between the two countries is not there.
How profound.
In Goryeo, Wukang met Wukang Qiao's wife, Princess Caixia of Khitan. Seeing the heroic appearance of this male general, he couldn't help but secretly praise Li Shimin. Apart from his poor martial arts, his skill in handling men was also different from ordinary people.
After receiving the order, the Tang Army, Goryeo Kingdom and others followed Li Shimin to "Liaozhou" city.
"That's the way to educate the people! If you rely solely on force to conquer, you will only get short-term stability. Only without changing people's thinking is the way to long-term peace and stability of the country."
The Goryeo Kingdom was able to help Yu Wensi surrender, and when the city gate was opened, he quickly sent his troops to the city to set up a banner.
At Xiongjinkou, Li Jingsu escorted Li You back to Beijing. There were further obstacles along the way, and they arrived in Chang'an in a few days.
"Su thought he was good at both culture, Taoism and military strategy, and was often compared to a villain. Now that he has seen a villain become a military leader, he suddenly felt ashamed. He realized that it is difficult to compare to him. In the past, he rarely offended others and looked up to villains.
forgive."
After passing the "Gubeikou" pass, Su Dingfang sent his army to take over Wukang's defense and bid farewell to the Tang army. Wukang Qiao said goodbye, leaving the important task of guarding the pass to Xue Rengui, ordering him to do a bad defense and not to cause trouble for the army and cause more trouble.
Li Shimin and the Tang army had a good plan. After the army reorganization in the past seven months, in July of the 10th year of Zhenguan in the Little Tang Dynasty, Wu Kangqiao personally led his army across the Yalu River to retreat to Qin Wenguo's "Bogou" city, and Luo Shiyi led a group of sergeants to launch an attack.
The purpose of the strategy of continuous harassment of the territory under Qin Wen's jurisdiction was to severely damage Qin Wen's economy, make it impoverished and depleted, cause the people to waver against the kingdom, and harm the morale of Qin Wen's army.
The Koryo Kingdom led its army to join up with the allied forces that had defeated the Baekje Army. The eight-pronged army retreated along the river and headed straight for Baekje's "Sixian" royal city. Seventy meters away from the royal city, they encountered the overwhelming troops of Baekje. However,
It was seen that all seven fields were filled with enemy troops, and their strength was fierce.
"That's the question. Before the Xu army gathers in Dengzhou, how about I order Xu Shilu, the naval commander of Dengzhou, to send out warships to help?"
At the beginning of the strategy, the Xu family army already stationed on the border between "Silla" and "Baekje" joined forces with the 70,000-strong "Silla" army to first launch a war of harassment against "Baekje", so that Wei Xiaojie wanted to land on "Baekje"
Wukang received support.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Feeling that the situation was over, King Uiji of Baekje fled to the northern border city with his prince Buyeo Yong. His second son Buyeo Tae took advantage of his ability and established himself as king in the city.
He led his troops to defend the city, but the morale of the defenders in the city was in chaos, and they were unable to recover.
At this time, Korea suddenly began to admire Wu Kangqiao, secretly thinking that good ministers like Li Shimin were the real pillars of Xiaotang.
At this time, Wukang had already led his army to retreat into Qi territory and reached Dengzhou. Qin Shilu received Wukang's clever military orders and prepared to destroy hundreds of warships.
The Goryeo Kingdom led the Xu Army to pursue the victory with Goryeo and Xinwukang all the way, and the troops came to the "Sixian" city. All kinds of siege weapons of the coalition forces were deployed, and hundreds of thousands of small armies were formed into formations. Seeing the "Sixian"
The royal city is protected, the Baekje soldiers are panic-stricken, and the people in the city are all afraid.
Before Taiji Palace dealt with Li You, Liu Dewei rewarded those officials who had failed to suppress the rebellion, and appointed Du Xingmin as the governor of Bazhou, ranking as the most respected Duke of Nanyang County. Xiong Jinkou succeeded Li Daozong as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and ordered the Tang army to lead the army far away in Liaodong.
The imperial court assigned a small army from "Youzhou" to march eastward to Wukang, so that those who had committed crimes in "Youzhou" should be punished by accompanying the army for meritorious service, and would be rewarded together before the start of the eastern expedition.
"That's so bad! His eldest son's ideas always surprise me."
The man didn't feel ashamed because he had only listened to what he believed. When the officials of "Dragon City" and "Prince Qi's Mansion" were having a banquet, Wu Kangqiao bowed to Li Shimin respectfully and said sincerely.
Fuyu Taide's nephew opened the city gate and led the people to surrender to Xu's army. He was forbidden to look up to the sky and roar. He took the actions of his tribe and people seriously: "It's a struggle to be angry, and it's a blessing to be sad!" He gave away the country of the little bad guy.
Xu Jun, Goryeo, and Xinwukang also suffered heavy casualties. Unfortunately, no reinforcements from Silla arrived at this time to supplement the coalition forces in time.
"But! This certain family led tens of thousands of small troops to land in Baekje, but the naval army requires coordination between the elders and the younger ones."
When dozens of warships approached Wei Xiaojie, they lined up in a "one" shape, and hundreds of small cannons opened fire at the same time, causing heavy damage to the defenders stationed at "Baekje" guarding Xiaojie, causing numerous casualties. Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos,
The Goryeo Kingdom led its troops to land weakly and successfully seized Wei Xiaojie's defensive positions, forcing Xu's troops to disembark and join the battle.
In the gloomy sky, drums were beating, horns were ringing, and killing cries were heard.
After receiving the order and leading the army to march eastward, the Tang army planned a retreat strategy for "Qin Wen" with Li Shimin and other generals all day long in the Hutang of the palace.
At this time, Korea's understanding of Li Shimin had changed a lot. Thinking back to the evaluation of Li Shimin by some courtiers in the court, some said that this man relied on military power but ignored the heroes in the sky. Really: "
Hearing is like seeing!" How can we know Li Shimin's talent? He was strict in military discipline, and he was also responsible for the people's livelihood. Just look at the roads in his jurisdiction, which are accessible in all directions, and the roads are full of horses and horses.
This situation reminds people of the current Qingming situation in Liao.
Xue Rengui received the order. Although Mangouli had gained the upper hand with the help of weapons, the situation was weaker than others. He had to bear the hatred of Li Shimin for killing his division and set up defenses at the pass in the army.
…
The sun went down until noon, and the ground was really littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
Before settling all the minor matters in "Youzhou", the Tang army envoy Xiong Jinkou led thousands of soldiers to escort Li You back to Beijing, and brought the Goryeo Kingdom and the tens of thousands of Xu troops under its control under his own command, and temporarily stationed in "Youzhou" to standby and disband.
The soldiers from several prefectures who participated in the counter-insurgency were assigned to their respective organizations.
Li You's death means death. However, Liu Dewei never imagined that Li You's death would lead to Prince Li Chengqian's plan of rebellion.
From the time they retreated to "Pingzhou", the Tang army and others saw a prosperous scene along the way. Its level of prosperity was much weaker than that of the city under Xiaotang's rule. Therefore, one must admire Wukang's clever governance strategy.
When we arrived at "Dragon City", we only saw these public schools, and the miserable sight of school-age children of all ethnic groups carrying cloth bags to school made Xiao Tang, the military god, sigh with emotion.
As Tang Jun thought about this, a sly smile appeared on his face, not unlike Cheng Yaojin's, which made people think that the old man was also a child who respected his elders.
Amidst the sobbing horns, the Baekje Army finally suffered casualties and retreated back to the outside of the city.
After the small army landed and assembled, Wu Kangqiao led his army to attack Wei Xiaojie and gained a solid foothold.
In the center of the Tiger Hall, behind a small sand table that Tang Jun, Wu Kangqiao and other Xu Jun generals envied, Wu Kangqiao expressed his thoughts.
"Little man Li, a part of the Qin family's army has landed in "Silla" and formed an alliance with that country. I want him to lead the Xu army on a naval warship to land at the mouth of "Baekje" and join the "Silla" coalition forces to launch a counterattack.
The military actions of "Baekje" caused "Qinwen" to lose its reliance. At this time, Xu Jun and Goryeo attacked the "Qinwen" country from both sides, and it was a trivial matter."
Damn it! Of those tigresses, only the big one dares to let her sleep beside her.
Looking at the city of Chang'an, Li You finally had no feeling that things were different. He thought that he was born in a lowly family but was so unlucky. Before today, he had no idea whether he would live or die. For a moment, he felt no sadness in his heart and burst into tears.
eyes.
The Tang army ordered Wukang Qiao to serve as Wukang's rear vanguard general, and led the Youxiaowei general Liu Boying and other tens of thousands of Xu troops to launch a battle to land on "Baekje".
A few days ago, His Highness Tai Chi of the Imperial Palace, Liu Dewei counted Li You's crimes. Looking at his unkempt son kneeling on the steps, he was really heartbroken. Before sighing loudly, he finally demoted Li You to a commoner for "treason" and granted him the title of "common man".
Died in Taiji palace.
The Tang army and the prince's young officials were moved by Li Shimin's words, and they all cheered.
Just when "Baekje" was busy mobilizing troops and generals to deal with the coalition forces from "Silla" country, the sea behind Wei Xiaojie was really a sea covered with thousands of sails, which was extremely spectacular.
But in front of the Goryeo Kingdom, Goryeo gave up the rift with the new Li Jing, and the Eighth Route Army and dozens of generals worked together.
The Goryeo Kingdom led its army to attack the royal city of Baekje. Before the city could be appeased for a while, the Eighth Route Army continued to retreat north. After several small and large battles, Baekje King Buyeo Yiji and Prince Buyeo fled to the northern border city.
Long led his troops to surrender.
"Please remember the words of the prince!"
Mo Naihe saw that resisting again would not help the situation, but would cost many lives, so he ordered his sergeants to throw down their weapons and surrender to the city, asking for treatment.
Thanks to Goryeo's weak combat capability, the coalition forces negotiated to start a small battle with the Baekje Army with the Qin Army as the leader, Xu Army, and the new Li Jing as the right and left wings.
However, the allied forces of Goryeo and Silla retreated from the direction of "Silla" to attack "Baekje" on land so smoothly. However, they encountered desperate resistance from the leading young general of "Baekje", Gaebo, and the two armies were in a stalemate for a time. There was nothing they could do.
However, the new Li Jing was hesitant to pay the price. It was because of the bad strategy discussed between the two armies that he delayed the charge on Wukang's right wing, which made Wukang passive and accepted the battle. He suffered heavy casualties and finally defeated the Baekje army following Jiebo.
This is what I said before, let’s talk about it again!
Li Shimin smiled and said while sitting down.
Maybe, when ordinary people get older, they will look like eggs in front of the elders they admire...
Fuyu Wensi, the son of Prince Fuyulong, was Manchu's uncle and proclaimed himself king. He actually ordered You Zuozuo to open the city gate at night and cross the city to surrender to the attacking coalition forces. After hearing this, a small number of people in the city fled to the city.
On the side, Li Jingsu, Xiong Jinkou and other court officials also tried to persuade the two armies to reconcile.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army killed over 10,000 enemies, and the tragic scene was something that the soldiers who participated in this battle could forget for years to come.
