Chapter 1024: Meeting Pyongyang
The appearance of the Goguryeo assassins, in addition to making the Tang army more closely guarded, did not raise the rest of the waves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It can't delay the pace of the Tang army.
In addition to taking over the cities along the way of Baekje, the rest of the soldiers of the Navy Division quickly rode up, and it only took more than a month to pass through Baekje, join the Tang army in Goguryeo, and rush to Pyongyang together, which took another month.
The original plan was that Li Shimin personally used the bait to drag the Goguryeo army to Anshi City, and the sailors commanded by Zhang Liang concentrated their forces to destroy Baekje, and then penetrated deep into Goguryeo, and then turned defense into attack in the direction of Anshi City, and attacked Goguryeo on both sides. Unexpectedly, the plan could not catch up with the changes after all, and Goguryeo was destroyed faster than Baekje.
However, the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no perfect strategy that does not exist without variables.
It can only be said that the shadow left by the three expeditions to Goryeo in the previous dynasty was too deep, which made the decision-makers of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Shimin, a little overkill, too cautious, and made the original plan before.
However, in any case, Goguryeo has also been destroyed, and the first purpose of this war has been achieved.
In the past few months, the Tang Dynasty has collected the remnants of the army in Goryeo, calmed the hearts of the people, strictly enforced military discipline, resumed production, reaffirmed the law, and began to restore the political management system...... Ahem, this is called Zaixing Chaogang in the Tang Dynasty...... In short, under a series of combination punches of the Tang Dynasty, the control of Goguryeo is steadily unfolding.
And today, it is the day when the Tang Navy Division arrived in Pyongyang.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were ready early in the morning, and Li Shimin would personally greet the soldiers of the Tang Navy Division outside the city.
The sailors had already arrived and were stationed not far outside the city. Waiting for the sunrise in the early morning, he offered prisoners to Li Shimin.
Outside the city of Pyongyang, the dragon flag was unfurled, and the dazzling sunlight reflected from the bodies of the armor soldiers, and they stood there in patches, almost impossible to look at.
Li Shimin's silver-armored white horse, standing in front of the military formation, although there was no expression between his eyebrows, he revealed an unparalleled self-confidence.
The hustle and bustle in the distance was approaching, and a team of Datang soldiers suddenly appeared at the end of the field of vision.
Xia Hongsheng picked up the binoculars and looked over, led by Zhang Liang, the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, followed by Su Dingfang and other generals who attacked Baekje by water this time.
Everyone continued to move forward, and after getting closer, Li Shimin also rushed forward to meet them.
Li Shimin moved forward, and the military formation behind him naturally moved.
Soon, the two groups finally came face to face.
Zhang Liang had already turned over and dismounted, walked over at this moment, bent down to bow and salute, and said: "Minister Zhang Liang, on the orders of the king, led the king's division, went out of Dengzhou, attacked Baekje, and now fortunately he did not disgrace his life, destroyed his country, captured his master, and came to offer to His Majesty today!" ”
While speaking, the lord of Baekje was led to the front of the battle by several soldiers and escorted to Li Shimin's horse.
Li Shimin rode on his horse, condescendingly, and looked at the lord of Baekje.
The lord of Baekje no longer has the appearance of the lord of the country at this moment, he lowered his head with a disgraced face, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply and said: "The criminal minister helps Yu Zhang, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Behind Buyeo, the rest of the Baekje royal family also knelt down in unison.
Xia Hongsheng looked at the man behind the Fuyu barrier, I was afraid that it was his son, the original historical King Yici when Baekje destroyed the country. It's a pity that now, he can no longer be the king of righteousness.
Li Shimin's voice sonorously announced the crime of Fuyu Barrier, and then generously forgave him, named him Guanglu Doctor, and kept him in Chang'an.
Then Zhang Liang and the soldiers of the sailor division were welcomed into the city of Pyongyang.
Zhang Liang and others talked happily with Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Tao, and Li Daozong in the big tent, and outside, Xia Hongsheng had already pulled Su Dingfang over and taught him to talk about the experience of the water master along the way.
“…… Then you haven't seen it, the soldiers of Baekje saw our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it was like seeing ghosts and gods, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even hold their weapons. Su Dingfang has been talking to everyone for a long time, and he is foaming at the corners of his mouth, dancing with his hands: "At the beginning, he Baekje wanted to fight to the death with our Datang, and gathered a hundred and ten warships to ambush us." But how could we Datang fall for this? There is a man named Liu Renliang in the military academy, who is also a talent! Immediately saw through Baekje's thoughts, and took our Datang warship to the mouth of the Baijiang River, but the warship did not move, and directly put a few iron boats, loaded oil drums, and quietly put a circle of oil inside. These rockets were shot over, and all the ships of Baekje were encircled into the fire ring, and our Datang sailors were watching from the outside, hahahaha...... By the way, it doesn't matter if this burn is burned, a group of Japanese people came out of us, and later won the first trial, only to know that it was a wave of Japanese people who vainly tried to restore the country relying on Baekje and acting as lackeys for Baekje, and wanted to borrow Baekje to restore the country, so they all gave us a pot of serving! ”
Xia Hongsheng listened to Su Dingfang on the side, and when he heard Liu Renliang's name, he couldn't help but feel a little magical.
There are really some things that are predestined in the dark. Whoever should be is whom, sooner or later, it will still come to whoever is fate.
With this feat, coupled with the affirmation of the generals of the water division, Liu Renliang's future is also clear.
This son deserves to be the first Bole of the Tang Dynasty! Xia Hongsheng thought in his heart.
"I said Brother Dingfang, you just said Liu Renliang, but Liu Renliang, the deputy director of the military academy?" Xia Hongsheng asked Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang nodded: "It's this person." ”
Xia Hongsheng sighed, and asked again: "What does Brother Dingfang think of this person?" ”
"This person is also a talent." Su Dingfang said: "The affairs in the army are properly arranged, regardless of whether it is logistics distribution or prisoner placement, the internal affairs of the army are the most cumbersome and troublesome, and he manages them in an orderly manner." If the Lord is in charge of internal affairs, he is a good hand! ”
"What if it's a general?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.
Su Dingfang couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Xia Hongsheng's diligence, but he still replied: "He is proficient in strategy and knows things like a god." The affairs of the army, every time they are discussed, they are quite insightful. At the beginning of the Baekgang estuary, he expected that Baekje would be ambushed there, and he planned to encircle and annihilate the Baekje army. In terms of martial arts in the military formation, it is not ranked. If you talk about resourcefulness, you have the talent of a general! ”
After listening to Su Dingfang's words, Xia Hongsheng nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Xia Hongsheng nodding, Su Dingfang asked, "Why is Brother Sheng so concerned about this person?" Isn't it ......."
"The younger brother saw that this Liu Renliang was really a great talent, so he recommended him to His Majesty and asked him to exercise in the military academy." Xia Hongsheng explained to Su Dingfang: "Now Your Majesty wants to find a suitable candidate to stay in Goguryeo and be the Tang Dynasty to guide Liaodong, and I recommend him to Your Majesty. Hearing what Brother Dingfang said, he knew that he really did not disappoint the younger brother, and the younger brother did not look away. ”
