The two said as they walked, and soon arrived in the front hall, met Li Shimin, and saw that Li Shimin also changed into civilian clothes, and brought a few guards in civilian clothes, and went out of the palace together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Chang'an City, there are several places to register in densely populated places such as the East and West Cities. The rest were in front of the guard camps. Outside of Chang'an City, there are also military schools. In addition, in some places such as Dingzhou and Youzhou, there are also places to apply.

Everyone went straight to the West Market, and they saw from afar that the cars and horses in front of them were already blocked, and they were all blocked.

When I got out of the carriage and squeezed in again, I heard the person who registered in front of me shouting: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! Come one by one, come one by one! ”

This situation alone already made Li Shimin smile on his face.

But seeing that he suddenly raised his hand and dragged a young man in front of him, he asked, "This brother, dare to ask why there are so many people here?" What are you doing? ”

Regarding Li Shimin's move, Xia Hongsheng secretly sneered.

The young man, apparently, did not know that he had been in such a situation, and that he actually called the emperor a brother. just turned his head and saw that Li Shimin was older than himself, so he called his eldest brother and said: "This eldest brother doesn't know, Your Majesty issued an edict to recruit troops, conquer Goguryeo, recover Liaodong, and avenge the children of the Han family who died in Liaodong in the previous dynasty!" The Goguryeo people deceived people too much, not only occupying our land, but also beheading hundreds of thousands of Han sons and daughters who died in Liaodong in the previous dynasty to build a Jingguan! You know about Kyokan, right? It's a mountain of human heads! Can this revenge not be avenged?! Now His Majesty wants to revenge the enmity of his children, Grandpa and eldest brother died in Liaodong in their early years, and now there is nowhere to leave the bones, I am the youngest son and younger brother, and I relied on the protection of Grandpa and eldest brother to avoid the affairs of Liaodong. Now that he is a seven-foot body, he can't help but avenge them! ”

"Good!" Li Shimin exclaimed and said, "I ...... Cough...... I really hope that the imperial court can immediately send troops to Liaodong! ”

The young man nodded, and began to turn and squeeze inside.

Li Shimin and the others silently retreated from the crowd, stood in the distance and watched the grand gathering of recruits, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have public opinion like this, why worry about the immortality of Goguryeo?!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Goguryeo, it is indeed not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty. ”

It is also said that in the original history, Li Shimin failed to destroy Goguryeo for two most important reasons. The first is overkill, fearing the recurrence of the events of the previous dynasty, so he is too cautious and pursues perfection, so that he chooses a more moderate strategy of advancing and delays a lot of time.

At that time, Li Shimin led the Sixth Army from Luoyang to march in person. The navy took the lead in crossing the sea to attack and occupy Beisha City, and Li Tao's army conquered Liaodong City, an important town in eastern Liaodong, on land. Later, Li Shimin gave up the advice of Li Daozong and others, adopted the rather stable and perfect march strategy of the eldest grandson Wuji, entered Anshi City, surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and defeated the 150,000 army led by Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, so that the rest of the people surrendered. Goguryeo was therefore terrified by the whole country, and the area from Houhuangcheng to Yincheng was deserted. However, although this is safe, it consumes the Tang army's own time, at this time it is close to late autumn, Li Shimin because Liaodong has become cold early, the grass is dry and frozen, the soldiers and horses are difficult to stay for a long time, and the food is about to run out, so he has to return to the court.

Li Shimin's first expedition to Goguryeo, there is a saying in the annals of history: "Baxuansu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang ten cities, migrated to Liao, Gai, and Yan to enter China with household registration, 70,000 people." In the three major battles of Xincheng, Jian'an, and garrison, more than 40,000 people were beheaded, 2,000 soldiers died, and seven or eight war horses died. “

It can be seen that this time the personal expedition to Goguryeo, the results were far greater than the losses.

After that, the court thought that Goguryeo was a city with mountains and was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it should send partial divisions to attack and harass, so that its people would be tired of coping with it, and delay the agricultural time, and after a few years, Goguryeo would collapse due to food shortage. Li Shimin adopted this suggestion and ordered Niu Jinda and Li Tao to lead an army to harass Goguryeo by land and water. The Tang army defeated the Goguryeo army several times, and the king of Goguryeo was forced to send his son to Tang to apologize. At this stage, the Tang Dynasty implemented a nuisance method against Goguryeo, disturbing the country and prohibiting cultivation and production, which was very effective.

It's a pity that just when this method worked effectively, and Goguryeo was already impoverished and withered, and only one more expedition could completely wipe out its country in one fell swoop, Li Shimin's life came to an end, and the final battle to destroy Goguryeo was not completed, which was the second reason.

It can be said that even without the butterfly effect brought by Xia Hongsheng, without the various advanced equipment and armaments produced by him and the transformation of the Tang Dynasty, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo could be destroyed. As long as Li Shimin can live him for another five years.

Now, history is different.

The development of the Tang Dynasty can even be called a geometric development, and the conquest of Goguryeo was advanced by a full decade!

If you can't destroy Goguryeo, Xia Hongsheng thinks hatefully, I will write this Xia character upside down!

Li Shimin turned around a few more places to take a look, and most of them were the same situation.

The scene of the people gathering to respond brought great confidence to Li Shimin.

When he went back, Xia Hongsheng did not go back with him, but separated from them, went back to Chang'an's house by himself, rested for a while, and then went back to Jingyang.

Xu Jingzong had already been sent to Jingyang, and Xia Hongsheng felt the need to knock him.

Li Shimin really sent someone to secretly investigate Xu Jingzong, and sure enough, he found out some things. Li Shimin used this as an excuse to demote him to Jingyang County and made a small master book.

This matter made the courtiers quite praised, and it seems that Xu Jingzong is indeed unpleasant.

When he arrived in Jingyang, Xia Hongsheng went directly to the county government and found Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong was once demoted from the middle school to the main book of Jingyang County, and the resentment in his heart did not need to be said. But Xia Hongsheng still needs him to do something, can't he serve the stick and sweet dates together!

"Lord Xu!" Xia Hongsheng rubbed his face outside the door, pulled out a conscious and sincere smile, and shouted while pushing the door in.

Xu Jingzong was standing by the window in a trance, and Xia Hongsheng suddenly came in and startled him. When he looked back, he saw that it was Xia Hongsheng, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "Xiaguan meets the horse!" ”

"Ouch, my Lord Xu!" Xia Hongsheng looked warm, stepped forward and said: "When I was in Luanzhou City, if I didn't have Lord Xu to help me speak, where could I get out of the sea of suffering and enter Your Majesty's vision." Now you and I have been demoted to Jingyang, which is not inseparable. In the past few days, the Minister of Patriotic Affairs has called me to the military academy to help prepare for the sacrifice, and I only rushed back today, and I haven't returned home, so I came to you immediately. Let's go, Lord Xu, go home. The same is the end of the world, you and I should have a few drinks together! (To be continued.) )
