Chapter 876: See the Famous General Again

After the uncle and nephew talked in detail, Li Su's mood calmed down a lot.

At the same time, he also realized that this war was not something he could easily get involved in, it was related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial prestige of Li Shimin and the hearts of the people of the world, and the attitude of the family to the Li family's imperial power in the future......

Li Shimin regards it too important, so he will never allow others to challenge his power, especially at the juncture of the battle between the two armies, in today's battle of crossing the river, even if Wei Zheng is reincarnated, he dares to openly contradict Li Shimin's decision in front of the two armies, I believe that Li Shimin will not hesitate to behead him and sacrifice the flag.

So today, Li Su escaped the catastrophe, and his uncle was really his uncle, but fortunately, he was quick to save his life at that time.

Thinking about this, Li Su couldn't help but be a little afraid, if he really played a bastard in front of the battle today, it would not be as simple as squatting in the cell of Dali Temple, and he would pick up a layer of skin if he didn't die.

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", it is really a very dangerous thing to go on the expedition with Li Shimin, and Li Su suddenly began to feel homesick......

…………

The battle to cross the river was finally won after paying a huge number of casualties.

After the war, Li Shimin convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and the marching commander Shi will carefully report today's battle losses, and today's battle can be described as heavy losses.

First of all, Niu Jinda was 50,000 people, and when crossing the river in the upper reaches of the Liao River, he was ambushed by the Goryeo army, but fortunately, the number of the opponent was not large, and when the soldiers and horses crossed halfway, the Goryeo army suddenly shot arrows into the river. Round after round of arrow rain shot into the river like locusts, Niu Jinda saw that there was no way to retreat, gritted his teeth and ordered to cross the river in the rain of arrows.

The frequency of round after round of arrow rain was frighteningly high, and it seemed that this Goryeo army ambushed on the other side of the river was a specialized bow and arrow unit, because of this round of non-stop arrow rain, Niu Jinda's department suffered heavy losses, and after paying the price of more than 2,000 people, it was reluctant to land and kill the enemy.

Afterwards, Niu Jinda learned that the 50,000 Goryeo troops stationed on the east bank of the Liao River deliberately dispatched 10,000 horses and horses in order to ambush the Niu Jinda headquarters upstream, and all the bows and arrows in the Goryeo army were transferred to these 10,000 people.

After all, Niu Jinda is a generation of famous generals, although he was suddenly ambushed, but he was also calm and calm, after forcibly crossing the river, Niu Jinda killed the Goryeo army and fled, and after sorting out the team, he immediately rushed towards the Goryeo army camp, and then immediately launched a surprise attack on the Goryeo army camp.

The first battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo ended in a tragic way.

After the march, the long history counted the casualties and results, and the Tang army suffered more than 5,000 casualties in this battle, while the Goryeo army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, and the remaining more than 30,000 people were all scattered and fled, which can be regarded as a fierce battle.

At such a heavy cost, the army finally crossed the Liao River, and further on, it was the border of Goguryeo.

After the war, the army was stationed by the Liao River to rest for two days, and many aftermath matters had to be resolved within these two days, such as burying the soldiers who died in the war, sorting out the ordnance materials after the war, treating the wounded soldiers, or carrying some seriously injured soldiers back to Liucheng for resettlement through logistics people.

Two days later, Li Shimin ordered to continue to drive forward, and the destination: Liaodong City.

****************************************************************

Liaodong City is located on the west side of the Qianshan Mountain Range, from the Liao River to the east, the Tang Dynasty is considered to have officially entered the territory of Goguryeo.

Liaodong City is an outpost fortress-like city embedded between the Tang Dynasty and the Goguryeo border.

After entering the territory of Goguryeo, the scenery encountered on the road was very different.

It is rare to see Koreans along the way, because the Tang Dynasty started the war, and the Koreans, both soldiers and ordinary people, have migrated to the hinterland of the country, and most of the fields that have been harvested along the way are some fields that have been harvested, as well as simple and familiar houses.

I have to say that the country of Goguryeo has a love-hate relationship with China.

What they hate is that no matter how China changes the dynasty, they will send envoys to order Goguryeo to submit, so that Goguryeo will serve the Central Plains Dynasty as the suzerain, and they must pay tribute every year, otherwise they will face each other with swords, and this kind of royal hegemony was especially strong in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the Sui Dynasty started with Emperor Wen, and successive generations of emperors launched wars against Goguryeo.

Of course, a slap does not make a sound, Goguryeo is not too reasonable, this country is too barren, there are many mountains, few fields, the country is small and the land is poor, the people are poor, and the poor think about change, for hundreds of years, Goguryeo has sent troops to harass the border of the Central Plains, slaughtering and looting the property and population of the border people, and the two countries are because of the accumulation of these contradictions year after year, and finally broke out in the Sui Dynasty, which caused the situation of incompatibility between the two countries.

As for Goguryeo's "love" for China, it is naturally the Chinese culture, clothing, architecture, bridges, in the Goguryeo Kingdom, Chinese characters, the writings of ancient sages in the Central Plains, etc., these things are only qualified to be learned by the nobles, and the nobles of Goryeo are proud to write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and regard them as a symbol of superiority.

Such a complex and lingering love-hate relationship between the two countries, if anthropomorphized, can write a three-million-word romance, and the flesh is numb to death, and the two little three and four of Baekje Silla and the green tea of the Wa country will be added in the middle......

…………

Three days later, the Tang army came to the city of Liaodong.

Liaodong City is flat and the only remaining plain alluvial area in the west of Goguryeo is suitable for cavalry charges, and as soon as the army arrives outside the city, they immediately set up camp on guard.

Before Li Shimin's tent was set up, he immediately sent people to Liaodong City to recruit the letter.

The guard of Liaodong City is named Zhao Huigong, who sounds like the king of a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this person has a hard temper, Li Shimin sent someone to shoot into the city The surrender letter soon arrived in his hand, and then this guy is not small, it is estimated that he also feels that he will die soon under the siege of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and it didn't take long to shoot a letter to the Tang army camp outside the city, this letter is almost the same as Li Shimin's surrender letter, the difference is that the name was changed.

Li Shimin was angry, this is a shameless face, with thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, he actually dared to recruit hundreds of thousands of army commanders of the Tang Emperor, and asked Li Shimin to take off his clothes, be open-chested, and worship in front of the city......

Li Shimin was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, and then, the last passage for peace between the two sides was completely cut off.

Since you can't surrender, let's meet each other!

…………

Li Su has been staying in the barracks for the past few days, and his mood has become more and more worried.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are like bamboos, directly attacking the border city of Goryeo, it seems that it is indeed a good thing, the morale is like a rainbow, and it is soaring, how refreshing.

But Seon has a horse, how do you know if it's a disaster?

Everything is too smooth, and until now Li Shimin has no intention of scattering the soldiers and horses, 300,000 soldiers and horses are surrounded by Liaodong City, which seems to be a lion fighting rabbit, but in fact there are too many hidden dangers.

For example, if the enemy kills you 100,000 soldiers and horses, you still have 200,000 left, and this is not how wars are counted.

Maybe after their 100,000 soldiers and horses were ambushed and killed, the remaining 200,000 soldiers and horses have been shaken and scattered, then these 200,000 people basically have no combat effectiveness, as long as they are slightly frightened, these 200,000 people will throw down their weapons and turn around and flee, this is not an exaggeration, but a fact, for thousands of years in China, similar to more than a dozen enemies chasing and killing thousands of soldiers who fled, the strange pictures running around the mountains and fields are too numerous to mention.

With so many troops gathered together, it is easy for this phenomenon to occur, hundreds of thousands of troops, after fighting the enemy, victory is not surprising, once there is a slight defeat, the defeat will be infinitely magnified, fear and cowardice will spread rapidly throughout the battalion like a plague, and finally the slightest disturbance will become the fuse of the rout of the whole army.

At this time, the Tang Army was proud of the spring breeze, and no one could see these hidden dangers, but Li Su could see them, and because of this, Li Su felt extremely worried.

What is even more troubling is that these worries cannot be admonished to Li Shimin. Now Li Shimin in Li Su's eyes is completely stunned, as if he has fallen into evil, he can't listen to anyone's words, he only believes in himself, he wants to take all the credit for destroying the country and avenging himself, he has been carried away by the worship and cheers of the people after the victory and return to the court.

Thinking about it, Li Su sadly found that he would only come to his senses after watching Li Shimin suffer a big defeat in Goryeo with a cold eye, and perhaps at that time, he would be able to listen to his advice.

…………

The army besieged Liaodong City, and Li Shimin had not yet ordered the siege of the city.

Li Su didn't know what Li Shimin thought, maybe this wise emperor also had procrastination.

During the siege of the city for three days, Li Su wandered around the camp all day with nothing to do, and when he was bored, he teased and derogated the newly acquired maid Gao Suhui, and his poisonous tongue stimulated Gao Suhui's eyes to roll and he was angry, and Li Su felt a burst of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

After getting along with this shaking M girl for a long time, Li Su found that she was becoming more and more like a pervert......

Could it be that this girl has activated the hidden attribute in her bones?

When he woke up in the morning, Li Su asked Fang Lao Wu for the hour, and found that it was past the hour, and then listened to the quiet atmosphere in the camp, so he sighed secretly.

On the fourth day of the siege, it seems that Li Shimin still has no intention of attacking the city today.

After washing, Li Su continued to wander around the camp, walking aimlessly, guessing Li Shimin's intentions.

It is said that the soldiers are noble and fast, hundreds of thousands of troops enter the territory of the enemy's country, and they should be quickly decided, a small Liaodong city, Li Shimin actually delayed for four days, is he waiting for the arrival of Goryeo reinforcements, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop?

Appetite is not small.

Wandering around like a lonely ghost, Li Su unconsciously found that he had walked outside the gate, and then he went outside the camp, it was best to be honest in the enemy country, who knows if there are soldiers and horses who are ambushing sticks nearby?

The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and Li Su immediately walked back.

After walking a few steps, a fierce quarrel came from a barracks near Yuanmen, and Li Su stopped curiously.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, all stagnant in the same camp, if nothing happens like this, once an accident happens, it will be a major event of the annihilation of the whole army!"

"Xue Li, you are smart in our fire, you can endure it, everyone else is a fool, right? Even Your Majesty and the generals didn't feel that there was a problem, but you can see it, it seems that you will be a general sooner or later, and don't forget our poor robes when you are developed in the future! ”

As soon as the sneering words fell, a burst of laughter rang out from inside the barracks.

The man named Xue Li was obviously angry, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to sigh and said, "You wait for the eyes of the rats, I really don't want to say much with you, the Tao is different!" ”

Another voice sneered: "According to what you say, what should we do with hundreds of thousands of people? All retreated to the west bank of the Liao River to start over? ”

Xue Li snorted: "According to me, after capturing Liaodong City, it is necessary to divide the troops and attack, this expedition, there are many veterans in the army, any veteran is handsome, it is more than enough to lead an army alone, after dividing the troops from three sides, Goryeo can be defeated in less than half a year!" ”

Outside the barracks, Li Su's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but show joy and excitement.

What is it? This is a confidant! Playing the mountains and rivers together is not enough to express the admiration in his heart, if he has a sister, he will marry Xu Mingzhu if he scolds him, such a person must let him be his brother-in-law......

Li Su was so excited that he began to think wildly, and then couldn't help but rush into the barracks.

The barracks are very small, and there is a smell of sweat and foot odor mixed together, very pungent, spicy to the eyes, but people like Li Su who have a habit of cleanliness can't care about these anymore, glancing left and right, Li Suxi said: "Who?" Whose high opinion was it just now? By the way, it's called Xue Li, right? Who is Xue Li? ”

Seeing that Li Su was dressed luxuriously and looked extraordinary, followed by Fang Lao Wu and a group of subordinates, the soldiers in the barracks suddenly knew that he was a powerful figure in the army, and they did not dare to offend, so they got up and saluted one after another.

A man dressed as an ordinary soldier with a thin figure and a bit of Sven took two steps forward, and saluted nervously: "The villain is Xue Li, the word is benevolent, meet this nobleman......"

"Haha, good! What a man! Li Su laughed, and then suddenly paused, looking at him with dull eyes: "Your name is Xue Li...... The word benevolence? Uh, Xue Rengui? ”18110
