Su Dingfang's army had already arrived in Dengju, and once the war with Goguryeo broke out on the Liaodong side, Su Dingfang's army would be able to quickly land at Changkou and attack Pyongyang City from the south with the help of naval ships.

As for Baekje, he is nothing more than a-stirring stick, and after Goguryeo's affairs are over, Liaodong will definitely not let him feel better.

Five or six days later, Xuan Shijing and others arrived in Anshi City, Xuan Shijing directly bid farewell to Gao Huanquan and returned to Liaodong City, and Gao Huanquan also had to rectify military affairs in the city, and returned from Daxing City, and the soldiers who brought over lost a lot, and the people who came back also had large and small injuries.

Raising soldiers is a very money-burning thing, eating, drinking, and lazing, even taking the injured to seek medical treatment, and treating the wounded soldiers, Gao Huanquan returned to the city of Anshi and felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by these things.

When he was out marching before, he didn't have to worry too much, everything was planned by Xuan Shijing for him, but when he returned to Anshi City, he was the only one left, so he had to be like an old mother, rough heart this, rough heart that.

When Gao Huanquan came back from Daxing City, he felt that his mentality seemed to have changed somewhat.

Even if the Tang Dynasty returns the land and rights of Goguryeo to itself, will he be able to cope with it?

At the beginning, Gao Jianwu sent Gao Huanquan to Chang'an, Chang'an's flashy fame and fortune have completely blinded Gao Huanquan, Gao Huanquan was in Chang'an for those years, and he delayed himself all his life, not because others delayed him, but on his own, without that firm heart, just going with the flow, to chase the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, to chase the happy life of the Tang Dynasty, if he had a little bit of the Tang envoy's progress, he would not have become like this today.

At least not a king, you can still be a hero.

When Xuan Shijing returned to Anshi City, the news had already spread to Liaodong City, so when Xuan Shijing arrived in Liaodong two days later, Xue Rengui personally brought his own soldiers out to greet Xuan Shijing.

In the city lord's mansion of Liaodong City, Xuan Shijing and Xue Rengui sat down, Gao Jun and Chang Le were taken back by Xuan Shijing to rest, this battle was to put it bluntly, the hardest thing was the two guards around him.

"I was a little worried about this battle when you left, but now it seems that it is still too reluctant." Xue Rengui said.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, now Daxing City is the gateway to Goguryeo in the south, Quangai Suwen watched it closely, and asked his eldest son to bring troops to defend the city, its importance is self-evident, originally the defenders in Daxing City should be the elite of Quangai Suwen's lineage, otherwise the 40,000 Tang troops in Liaodong, such an important Daxing City, why is there only 20,000 defenders?" It's a pity, I understood it too late, and I overestimated the Goguryeo soldiers under Gao Huanquan, if I had brought 20,000 Liaodong troops at that time, maybe this Daxing City could really be taken. ”

"It's useless to regret it now, it's also good to put Gao Huanquan in front, at least now Datang has no formal conflict with Goguryeo, and Gao Huanquan is in the middle, which can be regarded as a buffer." Xue Rengui said.

"Goguryeo and Baekje are united, the pressure on the sea of Beisha City will be more and more great, whether the buffer of Gao Huanquan is the same, between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, there will definitely be a full-scale war, and the result will inevitably end in the destruction of Goguryeo."

"Are we going to unite with Silla?" Xue Rengui asked: "Three years ago, the Tang Dynasty was in Liaodong and united with Silla, although Silla did not come to Liaodong, but it also dragged the footsteps of Baekje in the south and reduced the pressure on the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Three years ago, it was because Baekje took advantage of the chaos to invade Silla, Silla asked the Tang Dynasty for help, and the letter for help was sent to His Majesty who was still on the road at the time, and His Majesty issued an edict and sent envoys to Baekje, but Baekje ignored His Majesty's edict, and His Majesty was angry and ordered General Liu In-rail to deal with it together with Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty formed an alliance with Silla, but now, it ....... Baekje and Silla are safe, although Silla is attached to the Tang Dynasty, but without His Majesty's edict, they will definitely not participate in the current war situation, in addition, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo and Baekje are cranes, and Silla wants to be a fisherman. ”

"Silla has a disobedience to the Tang Dynasty?" Xue Rengui asked.

He led troops in Liaodong, and he had little contact with the twists and turns in the court, from the perspective of seniority, Xue Rengui was not as good as Xuan Shijing, although Xuan Shijing said that he did not go to the court all day, but he also stayed in Chang'an for so many years, Xue Rengui was in Liaodong, although he wanted to pay attention to the news in the court, but it was inconvenient after all.

"He didn't dare, but he still dared to do the cheap thing behind Datang, because even if he did, many adults in Datang would not do anything to them, so in the end, they picked up the cheap for nothing." Xuan Shijing said.

Not only to pick up cheap, but also to take meat from the mouth of the Tang Dynasty to eat, not only Silla, all the countries around the Tang Dynasty, on the surface, surrendered, but behind the scenes, they were all calculating how to take meat from the mouth of the Tang Dynasty to eat, and they were all coveting the fertile land of the Central Plains.

Reads as a vassal and writes as a white-eyed wolf. These countries around Datang are the most appropriate descriptions.

"Next, do you want to send troops to attack Daxing City directly? The sailors on the sea have already fought, and our target Quangai Suwen almost knows it, and there is nothing to hide. Xue Rengui said: "Although the 40,000 troops in Liaodong are relatively small, General Su Dingfang's side is ready. ”

"Don't worry, the people arranged by Benhou haven't really used it yet!" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Forgot the Jinyi Guard in Daxing City? ”

"I thought that on the night of the battle, in order to break down the city gates, the Jinyi guards had already been dispatched." Xue Rengui said.

"Most of them are the government soldiers I brought over, and the role of the Jinyi Guard is not on the frontal battlefield, and those jobs that are not visible are the most suitable for them." Xuan Shijing said: "The Jinyi guards in Pyongyang City are almost about to arrive in Dahang City, these days, only the people in the city can enter Daxing City, and then the caravan pretended by Jinyi Wei, a few days ago in Pyongyang City, they have already been in contact with the spring boys, maybe the spring boys will still need them." ”

"Your step-by-step calculations, one ring after another, it seems that the spring boy is going to be unlucky." Xue Rengui smiled helplessly.

"If there is no Jinyiwei, these are all empty talk, in the final analysis, you still need to have enough strength to have enough calculations, all conspiracies and tricks are empty talk in the face of absolute strength, and now Goguryeo's strength is not enough to destroy my plan." Xuan Shijing said.
