"The Silla people have changed their commanders again? This is the third one, right? The old man really didn't know what to say about them. Zhang Shigui threw the information aside and shook his head helplessly: "I really can't imagine that the Silla people are so incompetent, in the face of such an opportunity for civil strife in Goguryeo, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses have no way to eat Yuangai Suwen, it is really incompetent!" If it is handed over to the old man, why do you need 100,000, only 50,000 elite soldiers, and the old man will definitely be able to eat the whole of Goguryeo! ”

Zhang Liang pursed his lips disdainfully: "The old man really thinks that the Silla people can make a name for themselves, then Song Qian seems to be a commander with a lot of methods, but he doesn't want the result to be like this, the commander of the dignified army of 100,000 actually died, or was killed by the inferior enemy army, it really taught the world to laugh!" ”

Suning finally said something fair: "I can't say that, this Song Qian is definitely much more talented than his predecessor, his predecessor is a master who can't beat the border without the advice of the Tang Dynasty, and finally took advantage of the opportunity I left to take advantage of the loophole, but was stopped by a Datong River, and was actually given an army by Yuangai Suwen, not to mention the loss of more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops, that is the real mediocrity, Song Qian is different."

Although he failed to attack Anshi City and died, he also destroyed the sixty or seventy thousand people of Yuangai Suwen's entire Southern Route Army, although the army of the Silla people was only a second-rate army, but this Song Qian was definitely a first-class commander, if he could pay more attention to his own safety, he could still fight with Yuangai Suwen, but it's a pity, he died too early, it's a pity, he died. All the previous advantages are all in vain. ”

Zhang Shigui had to nod: "This Song Qian is indeed a character, but how did this Jin Yuxin get the position of commander of the three armies?" Even if he was born in the Silla royal family, the queen was not a cronyism, and he was a little capable, and Kim Yushin was only in his thirties, and he was still a very young person with almost no merits. ”

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What can Silla be a small country?" It's better for us to be prepared, it's not a good thing to stay here all the time, and we should always find a way to do something, although there is a lack of troops. But it's not completely unenterprising. The old man will not be satisfied just by breaking through the Liaodong Peninsula, the four counties of Han are the homeland of my Central Plains Shenzhou, and they must be recovered! ”

Suning nodded and said, "The harvest must be taken back, and even the entire land of Goguryeo Silla and Baekje must be taken." Then as a springboard and logistics base. Enterprising the Japanese state. At present, we have about 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and we have a navy of 30,000 people. It is not easy for Yigong and them to hold Yingzhou, and it is also the limit for us to occupy the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is definitely not an easy thing to send troops again.

There is no rich army in the hands of His Majesty, the Northern Expedition of the 200,000 army has not yet ended, it is the best work is that the abundance of the grassland is definitely not under Liaodong, and if you get the grassland, then my Tang Dynasty will no longer lack meat and war horses, the benefits for my Tang Dynasty are too great, since ancient times, the northern border trouble has never been cut off, His Majesty wants to end the northern border trouble, so he attacked the grassland with twice the soldiers and horses of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at the critical moment, we must not do anything wrong.

What do you think, it must wait until the overall situation of the grassland has been decided, and the army begins to return to defense, not to mention that if I Datang takes the grassland this time, it will definitely need a large number of cavalry and people from the mainland to enter the grassland and really control it, there are still a lot of things, and now my 800,000 soldiers and horses in Datang are no longer enough to afford the vast territory of Datang, at least 200,000 troops must be expanded, and these 200,000 are basically the standing army, so at least after the standing army is stationed in the grassland, the government soldiers can be withdrawn to aid Liaodong.

At that time, it probably took about 100,000 soldiers to take the entire land of the Three Kingdoms on the peninsula, which is not a difficult thing, as long as we occupy it steadily, and stabilize the land of the peninsula, those other things do not need to be considered by us at all, and now the Silla people are willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition to bear the pressure for us, so the two generals also ask Shao'an not to be impatient, not impulsive. ”

Zhang Shigui nodded very understandingly, although Zhang Liang was full of reluctance, but he also had to admit that what Suning said was indeed right, from 400,000 soldiers and horses in the fourth year of Zhenguan to 800,000 soldiers and horses in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Datang doubled its army in these six years, all in order to adapt to the security of the newly occupied vast territory, and once the grassland is laid, then a large area, at least 200,000 troops need to be expanded to meet such a negative but.

Liaodong is a vast territory here, but there are so many soldiers and horses, and more soldiers and horses can't be drawn to guard the place, so now is really not a good time to march, but Zhang Liang obviously won't stop there: "That being said, the old man also admits it, but whether the Silla people can contain the Goguryeo people before our army arrives, this is still unknown, right?" What does it mean that the Silla people make a little doll to command the army?! ”

Suning shook his head and said very strictly: "But don't underestimate that Jin Yuxin, as far as the intelligence collected by the vertical and horizontal departments is concerned, Jin Yuxin is definitely not an ordinary person, fifteen years old is the general of Hwarang Dao in Silla, eighteen years old is the national immortal, the leader of Hwarang is one of the best warriors and good warriors in Silla, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, he is well versed in the art of war, and he is very talented.

This time, King Seondeok of Silla appointed this person as the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, obviously not to rush to the doctor, but to think deeply, as far as the first two times, it is obvious that Song Qian is far stronger than the first term, so why can't it be considered that this Jin Yuxin is very likely to be far stronger than Song Qian? Song Qian is already a good commander, and this Jin Yuxin is even more noteworthy, we must not despise this person, we should continue to pay attention to this talent. ”

Zhang Shigui expressed his agreement: "Although Silla is a small country, it cannot be taken lightly, its national strength is about 250,000, and it is by no means an easy opponent to deal with. Then make a decision, at present, Yuangai Suwen has suffered heavy losses, but the other local officials have not received any benefits, and the previous Song Qian is still very capable, and he beat the Goguryeo people very badly, and then, it is estimated that the situation will be favorable to the Silla people. ”

Suning analyzed: "I think it is very likely that Yuangai Suwen will unite with the remaining local officials to jointly organize the Daedong River defense line against the Silla. It was always him who fought to the death with the Silla people. It is estimated that he was very unhappy, and the Silla people did not fight him alone, but came to destroy Goguryeo, from this point of view. Anyway. The Silla people were also the common enemies of Goguryeo, which is now in disarray. ”

Just as Suning speculated. Quangai Suwen was indeed very unhappy, and three times in a row, he and the Silla people fought to the death. Half of the army was transferred to defend against the Silla, and others did not hesitate to go out with all their strength to fight with themselves, completely ignoring the threat of the Silla, as a result, this time I heard that the local powerful faction in the east was also hit hard, and many people were killed by the Silla, and the strength was further damaged, but fortunately, the number of powerful factions was smaller, and the strength of the remaining powerful factions was even more quintile.

Therefore, Quangai Suwen once again sent a message to the powerful factions in the east as Mo Lizhi, telling them the news that the Silla people had once again reorganized 100,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to go north to destroy Goguryeo, and now Goguryeo had lost all the territory south of the Taedong River, and had lost too much territory, so there was no way back, we were killing each other, and the Silla people had taken advantage of a lot of loopholes, so in order not to let the Silla people succeed, Quangai Suwen made an initiative.

All of our confronting soldiers and horses have withdrawn, all the confronting military camps have been withdrawn, and the troops have withdrawn into the cities of both sides, no longer hostile, but to form a Goguryeo coalition army to resist the upcoming attack of the Sillas, and strive to kill all the Silla people, back to the south of the Taedong River, and then say something else, kill the common enemy, and then go to cannibalism, which must be excellent.

Quangae Suwen's proposal no longer uses the tone of command, but uses a consultative tone, which makes the powerful factions in the east feel a little satisfied, in fact, they also suffered heavy losses, if they continue to attack Quangae Suwen, then one day they will completely collapse, if they do not try to recover themselves during the war against Silla, it is very likely that the Silla people will not need to attack, Goguryeo will be left to fend for itself, but a few months ago everyone was still an official of the same dynasty, but now although they are fighting each other, they are still a countryman.

Not to mention the hostility from Silla, they also felt it, the cunning and good warfare of the Silla people they learned decades ago, when they lost the annex area of the Han River basin, and now they have lost the south of the Taedong River, if they continue to kill each other, the Silla people will really destroy the country of Goguryeo, although there is a great hatred for each other, but in the face of the Silla people, everyone is Goguryeo.

In this way, a loose Goguryeo coalition army was established, and in order to make up for the mutual distrust between the two sides, Quangai Suwen Jian yì divided the defense areas of the two sides indeed, and Quangai Suwen concentrated all his efforts to deal with the western defense line, and the eastern defense line was handed over to the eastern powerful alliance, and the two sides sent their own troops to fight together to ensure that the Silla people would not cross the Taedong River and land.

Of course, the abnormal behavior of the Goguryeo people could not be hidden from the Silla people, and the third commander of the Silla Northern Expeditionary Army, Kim Yuxin, was the first to learn about the Goguryeo people's actions, and he smiled slightly: "The Goguryeo people are not stupid after all, they know that our army is about to go on a northern expedition, so it is normal to form an alliance or reach some kind of agreement to cooperate with each other against our army, if the Goguryeo people still want to kill each other at this time, then for us, the Goguryeo people are not a qualified opponent."

But having said that, I still really want to see them kill each other, if there is no such opportunity and go all out to deal with their so-called national disaster, it is definitely not a good thing for our army, General Song has a good time, a good opportunity, and good luck, but he died under the city of Anshi, it is a pity, in order to make up for this pity, I think, we can take some special measures, after all, if they really unite to deal with it with all their might, it will be bad for us. ”

Kim Yuxin's approach and ideas are very correct, now he only has 100,000 troops, and the combined strength of Quangae Suwen and the eastern powerful coalition forces far exceeds his total strength, that almost exhaustive conscription means although the consequences are endless, but now it seems that it is helpless, no matter what, now Goguryeo's defense corps has 200,000 troops, more than double that of Silla, but all Goguryeo leaders know very well what the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 soldiers and horses is.

Otherwise, they would have sent troops south to cross the Datong River to recover their homeland.

All in all, we must not let these people think that we have other ideas...... Jin Yuxin thought so...... There is no sailor in Goguryeo, but I still have a sailor in Silla, and this sailor can bring us I don't know how much convenience it has, so why bother to go to the Daedong River? It's not just that way! (To be continued......)
