"Then if the imperial court is going to really use troops against Liaodong and is going to send troops to conquer Goguryeo, then what does Liu Xiancheng think should be paid attention to?" After listening to Liu Renliang's words, Xia Hongsheng asked again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Renliang didn't know about Xia Hongsheng's questions, looked at Xia Hongsheng, paused, and said: "If the imperial court really wants to use troops against Goguryeo, then what should be paid attention to is, first, the lower officials think that it should be the people's fear of the three expeditions to Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty. In that year, the three expeditions to Goguryeo caused the people in the world to live in a difficult situation and chaos. How many years have passed since that troubled world? The people have not forgotten that time, and if they use troops against Goguryeo again, it will inevitably remind the people of that experience again, and I am afraid that they will be miserable again, and they will resist the new conquest. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, on this point, Liu Renliang's opinion is the same as that of Xia Hongsheng himself, and the ministers and generals who entered the palace that night.

Qiang Sui can be said to have died on the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo, which caused a shadow to the latecomers, and even this shadow would be infinitely exaggerated and even deified.

For example, in the later generations, the Yuan Dynasty failed to conquer Japan twice, but lost troops because of the typhoon, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of psychological pressure, causing the Ming Dynasty to not attack Japan because of the fear of the "Mandate of Heaven".

Of course, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were many heroes, and part-time open-mindedness and flowering atmosphere, after all, he finally broke this so-called "Mandate of Heaven" by his own strength.

It is undeniable that the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty left a huge shadow on the people and in the minds of many courtiers, so that as soon as they mentioned the conquest of Goguryeo, they felt that they were about to die.

"Then if it is Liu Xiancheng, how should it be solved?" Xia Hongsheng asked with a smile.

Liu Renliang smiled, glanced down at the newspaper in front of Xia Hongsheng, and said, "Isn't this the way to crack it?" ”

Xia Hongsheng laughed, he was really an extremely smart person who could see it thoroughly.

"What Liu Xiancheng said is good." Xia Hongsheng picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Ben Hou should pay tribute to Liu Xiancheng for a cup." Is there anything else I need to be aware of? ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Renliang hurriedly picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and said: "I think that the second thing to pay attention to is that if you really want to conquer Goguryeo, you can only win, not lose." If he wins, there will be no one in the world who dares to disobey the Tang Dynasty. But if it is defeated, then the ruling authority of our Tang Dynasty over the surrounding subject countries will be seriously weakened or even collapsed, and even the neighboring countries such as the Turks and Xue Yantuo who have been pacified may repeat again. ”

"Not bad! Not bad! Xia Hongsheng personally filled the cup in front of Liu Renliang with tea, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Liu Ren thanked him, and then said: "This third thing should be paid attention to, the lower officials think that if they really want to conquer Goguryeo, Your Majesty and the imperial court must think carefully in advance, and take Emperor Yang as a lesson from the past, and act more cautiously. The lower officials were worried that the courtiers attached too much importance to Emperor Yang's previous lessons and wanted too much to avoid the mistakes that Emperor Yang had made, which would inevitably be overkill. Goguryeo Rui is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but it can also be regarded as the number one power in the east of the Tang Dynasty, and its strength is naturally strong. Also, Baekje! Baekje is the country that cannot be ignored. ”

Xia Hongsheng's heart sank, and finally said Baekje. At the moment, his face did not change, and he asked, "Baekje? What does this have to do with Baekje? ”

"Baekje is respectful to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, and seems to be obedient to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is not. Baekje has a hidden ghost, as can be seen from the fact that it has quarreled with Silla every once in a while. Baekje is not an honest vassal state, it has a close relationship with Goguryeo, if you don't pay attention to Baekje, it is very likely that when the Tang Dynasty conquers Goguryeo, Baekje will coldly give the Tang Dynasty a knife. Liu Renliang said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"Between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty, there is Goguryeo. Goguryeo is equivalent to Baekje's barrier to the Tang Dynasty. Baekje has the heart to swallow Silla, and if there is Goguryeo in front of him to block the Tang Dynasty and attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty for him, it will be much easier for Baekje to do things. And if Goguryeo is destroyed once it is destroyed, then Baekje will become directly connected to the Tang Dynasty, but if the Tang Dynasty makes any moves, Baekje will bear the brunt. This is in no way conducive to Baekje's purpose. If the lips die, the teeth will be cold, and Baekje will not let Goguryeo be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and will definitely help Goguryeo to fight against the Tang Dynasty openly and secretly. Liu Renliang explained.

Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes to look at Liu Renliang, smiled, and asked, "Hearing Liu Xiancheng say so much, Ben Hou has a deep feeling. So what should you do if Liu Xiancheng goes to conquer Goguryeo? ”

"Xiaguan?" Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Hongsheng.

"It's just an assumption, an assumption. You and I don't take it seriously, just listen. Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said.

Liu Renliang also laughed: "Master Hou was startled. Hehe, if the lower officials go to conquer Goguryeo, then they must fight Baekje first. Baekje was weak, and it was much easier to fight than Goguryeo. And once Baekje is destroyed, Datang can pass freely by water, regardless of whether it is to transport troops or food, which is much more convenient than land. Moreover, without Baekje, Goguryeo was isolated and helpless. Being attacked from both sides by the Tang Dynasty, it was only a matter of time before Goguryeo was destroyed. ”

Good guy, he is worthy of being a character who is in and out of the picture, and he really has real skills and strategies.

Xia Hongsheng sighed in his heart.

These are all things that the ministers and generals discussed that night, but Liu Renliang is only one person, and there is no detailed information about Liaodong, so there is no big difference between what he thinks and what the ministers discussed.

In the original history, Datang also suffered a lot of losses, and was harmed by Baekje, and then thought of starting with Baekje first.

Perhaps, there are really some people who come to this world and are destined to do something.

Even if it was ten years ahead of schedule, it seems that Yoo In-rail still wants to destroy Baekje.

"It is a blessing for Ben Hou to get acquainted with Liu Xiancheng today, and to hear Liu Xiancheng's wonderful strategy." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said to Liu Renliang: "Liu County is such a general person, and he is only a county leader, but I am afraid that he will bury talents!" ”

"Although the county rank is low, it still takes care of the people. Is there a high or low in the affairs of the people? Liu Renliang said with a smile: "The lower officials are stupid, and they really deserve to be praised by the Hou Ye." is just a county, and it has already made the officials work hard! ”

"Hahahaha...... What Liu Xiancheng said is that the people have no trivial matters, and those who do things for the people in a down-to-earth manner have no distinction between high and low, they are all for the people. Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Although Benhou and Liu Xiancheng are new acquaintances, they feel that Liu Xiancheng is a person worthy of friendship. In the future, if you have time, Liu Xiancheng will also ask to walk around Jingyang more. (To be continued.) )
