Eight hundred and twenty Jin Yuxin asked for help
Just a few days ago, the Silla Northern Expeditionary Army still occupied an absolute advantage, with an indomitable momentum to the Goguryeo secession warlords caused an extremely strong coercion, but a few days later, the vicissitudes of life, everything became different from the past, the Silla Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated, the Eastern Expeditionary Corps was annihilated, the Western Expeditionary Corps retreated, and the former army of 3,000 horses was also wiped out by the Eastern Coalition Army of Goguryeo, and the commander Kim Yuxin hurriedly led the main force of the Western Expeditionary Corps to intercept the Eastern Coalition Army.
When there were still two hundred miles away from the first fortress of Silla mainland, Jin Yuxin led the army to intercept the eastern coalition army of Goguryeo, a big battle, the eastern coalition army retreated some, Jin Yuxin sent people to contact the country to transport grain, grass and ordnance, and then prepared to completely eat the 100,000 Goguryeo eastern coalition army, to save a little momentum for himself, after all, the country must have been in a panic before, but he will atone for his crimes, and he should be able to save the head of Xiang Shang.
Jin Yuxin's idea was good, and it was relatively smooth at first, using the strategy of fire attack to defeat the left battalion of the eastern coalition army of Goguryeo, beheading more than 20,000 people, and winning a big victory, forcing the eastern coalition army camp of Goguryeo to retreat dozens of miles, Jin Yuxin also got grain, grass, ordnance and reinforcements from the country, stabilized the situation, and after the Silla queen Seondeok learned about it, she was slightly relieved, and originally decided to cut off Kim Yuxin's head, but now she also decided not to cut it and dismissed her.
But this changed after the arrival of Quangai Suwen and his corps, and by that time, Quangai Suwen had already regained the lost territory by the way, forcing the Silla people to retreat to a section near their own borders, and the 60,000-strong Western Corps and the 80,000-strong Eastern Coalition Army were once again combined. Although the two sides still had a problem, they agreed to talk about other things after cleaning up the Silla people.
Quangai Suwen is responsible for the left march, and the eastern coalition army is responsible for the right march, not subordinate to each other, but have the obligation to support each other, the two sides are allied by blood, and the violators will be punished by heaven and man, and there is no place to bury them.
Goguryeo reunited into a whole at this moment, and the collapsed Goguryeo Central Army was briefly reorganized, albeit for a short time. However, it was enough to revitalize the Goguryeo army. The elite army tempered by the long-term struggle with each other showed its might, and even broke the three large battalions of Jin Yuxin, and the heavy troops rushed towards the general camp of Jin Yuxin, and Jin Yuxin's hair was almost gray. After the loss of the three large battalions, he had less than 70,000 troops left. And behind it is the fortress of the national border.
If the Goguryeo people are defeated outside the borders. Then some people say that if they return to the border, then the credit will be greatly reduced. Not only did he not get an inch of land, but he lost all the land that the previous two commanders and 60,000 soldiers and horses exchanged for their lives, which was a heinous crime, and it could be beheaded, and Jin Yuxin could foresee the ugly faces of those guys and the pain of his family.
Jin Yuxin finally decided to fight against the water, he knew that the combat effectiveness of Quangai Suwen's left army was stronger than that of the right army of the Eastern Coalition Army, so if he wanted to break the Goguryeo coalition army, the best way was to break the right army, after the Eastern Coalition Army was eliminated, Quangai Suwen was unable to support it alone, and the Tang army was eyeing him behind his back, he could not stay here for a long time...... That's right! Tang Jun!
Jin Yuxin patted his head and almost forgot about it, why didn't he contact Tang Jun? The main force of the Tang army is only three hundred miles away from the city of Quangai Suwen's old nest, and the cavalry can arrive in less than an hour if they attack, and the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is also sufficient, not to mention that the previous two commanders have contacted the Tang army, but before they have time to cooperate in battle, the commander will ......
This time is different, at the beginning, Jin Yuxin had absolute confidence in himself, he thought that he could avenge the old-timers, but this was not the case, he ignored the warlord's merciless way of recruiting soldiers, and had just been wiped out more than 60,000 troops in the blink of an eye, and pulled up a coalition army of 100,000 people, which was really open, and out of suspicion of the Tang Empire, he instinctively did not invite the Tang army to help in the war, who knows who the Tang army will deal with?
Now it seems that he was too confident that he was defeated by the Goguryeo people, and it is estimated that the Tang people are still laughing at themselves, laughing at themselves for not knowing the height of the sky, but they can't take care of so much, if they don't ask the Tang army to send troops to drive the Goguryeo people away, then he really doesn't have the confidence to defend his territory and defend his country in front of the enemy of 140,000 people, and he can be regarded as realizing his stupidity and inadequacy.
He decided to personally write a letter to General Suning, the deputy commander of the Tang Army's Liaodong Provincial March, asking General Suning to send troops to assist Silla in defeating Goguryeo.
Although the Goguryeo people had their own language among the people, they did not have their own script, and could only communicate orally, but not in writing, so whether it was Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje or even the Wa Kingdom, they all learned the Chinese characters of the Tang Empire as the official language of their country during this period, and it continued until a long, long time later, and even in modern times, traces of Chinese characters can be seen in Japanese and some Korean, and before the Qing Dynasty, the official script of East Asia was elegant Chinese characters.
Regardless of whether it is Japanese or Korean, scholars, officials, nobles and royal families all use Chinese as their language and script, and the folk are not popularized due to the problem of education, so in the mid-fifteenth century, after King Sejong of Korea created the Korean script, this script was still used as a second-class script for the Korean people.
Until the 20th century, with the decline and collapse of the Chinese Empire, the status of the country determined the status of the national culture, and the strength of the country determined the strength of the national culture.
As the royal family of Silla, Kim Yuxin has a noble status, so Chinese and Chinese characters are one of the compulsory subjects, he has also read a lot of books about the culture of the Central Plains, and deeply admires the Han culture of the Central Plains, so he is naturally very proficient in Chinese characters. Then he immediately sent people to take a detour from the sea to the base camp of the Tang army on the Liaodong Peninsula, and he still led the army to defend his position, although he did not know whether he could support the Tang army to send troops, and even he did not know whether the Tang army would really send troops.
Five days later, Suning received information from the blood droplets, and at the same time received a request for help from the Silla envoy, and after seeing the information of the blood droplets, Suning knew that he had not guessed wrong. Quangae Suwen and even the whole of Goguryeo still have the strength to fight against the Silla people. No, they all hit the door of the Silla people, which can be regarded as a good lesson for the Silla people, and the arrogant Kim Yuxin was also forced to bow his head. Ask Datang for help.
The Silla Northern Expedition had all failed. The Goguryeo people regained the lost land. Even as they were heading towards the Han River Basin, Suning knew that the Goguryeo people didn't really want to recapture the Han River Basin. Instead, we want to give the Silla people a preventive shot, so that they know that even if Goguryeo is in civil strife, they can't intervene, that's the Goguryeo people's own business, don't think about the Silla people, if you dare to participate, we will stop fighting immediately, and join forces to take your dog's life!
Suning smiled coldly, read the letter of aid from Jin Yuxin, the commander of the Silla Northern Expeditionary Army, and read a beautiful and neat Chinese character, Suning still likes it, there are not too many foreigners who can write Chinese characters so beautifully in these years, and it is not easy to popularize education itself, Datang has tried his best and still has to take his time little by little, not to mention other countries.
But in the end, Suning still doesn't want to see the Silla people really beaten too badly, if they are really beaten too badly, when they get it, there will be one less guy with the mud, it will make the entire Korean Peninsula have more military strength, and there will be fewer deaths, which is definitely not good, so Suning of course thinks that he should send troops to help, and it's a big deal to give Quangai Suwen a little color, so that he can retreat in the face of difficulties, come back honestly, and don't continue to hold on to the Silla people.
But it's impossible to honestly help the Silla people to fight the war, only if I pit others, how can it be someone else's turn to pit me, I definitely don't agree, if the Silla people want me to help him fight, they have to pay the corresponding price, such as money and food, as well as the pension expenses of the soldiers who died in the war, etc., Silla came to make a bitter face and said that he agreed to all, just waiting for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, Suning smiled, and took out a piece of paper for Silla to sign and draw, saying that there is no evidence, signing and drawing, white paper and black letters, is the real evidence.
The envoy of Silla signed this unequal treaty with a bitter face, and Suning found Zhang Shigui and Zhang Liang with satisfaction, and asked them with a smile who would like to take 5,000 iron cavalry to raid Quangai Suwen's territory, and give him a guy ruthlessly, and then the army made a feint to attack Goguryeo City in the rear and forced Quangai Suwen to withdraw.
Before Zhang Shigui could speak, Zhang Liang immediately rushed out: "Su boy, no matter what, let the old man go, the old man is about to suffocate to death these days, hurry up, give the talisman to the old man, the old man will go and clean up the spring cover Su Wen, hurry up, I can't hold it back!" ”
Zhang Shigui was silent with a black line, Suning also wrote down the troop transfer document with a black line, and gave the talisman to Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang happily ordered the troops to go to battle, although the Tang army was not many, but the ordnance or something was still complete, except for the gunpowder was strictly kept in the hands of Suning's personal guards, the rest of the siege weapons were still enough, and they were all placed in the camp, and the siege corps went out with Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang took the lead in leading 5,000 iron cavalry to attack the first line of defense set up by Goguryeo, and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were there to monitor the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Liang took Xue Rengui as the vanguard, and sent Xue Rengui to attack the defense line with 1,000 iron cavalry, requiring Xue Rengui to break through the defense line, only to win and not to lose, Xue Rengui had to order the dragon and tiger to lead the troops to attack, these days also made him quite uncomfortable, as soon as he saw the Goguryeo Xue Rengui's eyes lit up.
After a round of impact, the Goguryeo defense line collapsed, Zhang Liang led the army to make up for it, completely wiped out the two thousand people, and then rushed towards Anshi City non-stop, there are still many Goguryeo people who are sorting out the battlefield under Anshi City, and when they did not receive any early warning of the battle situation, they found that the Tang cavalry rushed forward indomitably, and they were so frightened on the spot that they ran to the city, and the defenders in the city closed the gate of Anshi City even more desperately, and they didn't care if anyone was still outside and didn't come in.
After a scream, the world was quiet, Zhang Liang waved his hand, the siege team immediately prepared siege weapons, trebuchets began to pour out their dissatisfaction and madness on Anshi City, a large number of strong Tang soldiers fired bows and arrows at the defenders of Anshi City, dormant for two months, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses once again showed their fangs, so that these Goguryeo people who had been accustomed to fighting weaker opponents than them once again felt the arrival of terror.
