830 Three Kingdoms War

There has been no big movement on the side of the Tang Dynasty, even if the artillery is delivered, but the war is still not decided to fight, the main reason is the lack of soldiers and horses, Li Er Majesty has begun to realize the lack of troops since the Northern Expedition of the 200,000 army, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is too vast, even after the two large grasslands have been laid, the standing guard army is not enough, and even the government soldiers who go out are insufficient, so a conscription plan of 200,000 people began.

80,000 soldiers, 120,000 standing guards, according to such a number to recruit troops, expand soldiers and horses, there is really no way, now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is almost one-third of Asia, including the original territory, a large grassland in the north, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the land of the Western Regions is almost all of the Tang Dynasty, and further west is the Persian Empire, now it is the northeast, as long as this place is swept away, the rest is very easy.

Suning also heard that Qin Qiong and they destroyed a tribe called Khitan when they recaptured Yingzhou, and the man was almost killed, and the rest were all made slaves and brought back to the Tang Dynasty, on the charge of collaborating with Goguryeo to sneak attack the Tang Heavenly Army, and after being wiped out, he did not repent, and dared to sneak attack the Tang Dynasty, he simply did not know whether he was alive or dead, and there was no need for the Tang Dynasty to be merciful to these people, so he decided to completely eliminate the Khitan Department, so the Liao Empire in history that would make the first half of the Song Dynasty unsafe also died. It won't happen again.

Further north, there were some other small tribes, and the Tang Dynasty did not have enough soldiers and horses to fight over, so they just stuck to Yingzhou and waited for reinforcements.

The fighting on the steppe is also largely over. After learning that Goguryeo took advantage of the Northern Expedition of the army to raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, these generals were a little uneasy in their hearts, and there was no other reason, the main thing was that they took the army and their families away, and fought for credit, and as a result, Li Erma, who was indirectly guided, had no soldiers and no generals to mobilize to support the battle in Liaodong Province, and finally Qin Qiong and Suning, the old and young, plus the eldest Sun Chong and Li Boyao, two military academy graduates, went up to the top, and took the 20,000 troops and two remnants of the army to fight against Goguryeo.

As a result, they were even more stunned, not only did they not suffer a crushing defeat to the point of annihilation, but they also won an unprecedented victory. Burning the royal capital of Goguryeo. Capture the king of Goguryeo alive, kill all the officials and nobles from the king down to the king, and then make the whole of Goguryeo a hell on earth, and then invite the navy to support. On the Liaodong Peninsula, the 100,000-strong army of the famous Goguryeo general Jiang Yishi was annihilated. Killed Jiang Yishi. It directly prompted Goguryeo to enter the Warring States period.

Goguryeo, which was not killed by the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions, was solved by Suning with 10,000 people, and the Liaodong Peninsula was also taken. Such a large territory belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were brought along to pay for their lives, and those Han men who died unjustly in Goguryeo could finally rest in peace, and Qin Qiong also came to make a final offering, defeated the siege army of Goguryeo, wiped out the Khitan tribe that aided the abuse, and then killed the border between Goguryeo and Tang in one go, destroying those notorious Jingguan.

Before Li Er's majesty issued an edict several times to ask Goguryeo to destroy the Jingguan and return the skull, but Goguryeo turned a deaf ear, this time the Tang Dynasty came to do it himself, Qin Qiong is said to have cried and slashed to destroy those Jingguan, and then sent many heartbreaking heads back to the Tang Dynasty, where there are their relatives and descendants, although the former Sui is gone, but Huaxia is still there, what has changed is the imperial court, what has not changed is Huaxia, it is relatives.

Now the situation in Goguryeo is very erosive, although those generals are sweeping the tail on the grassland, but their hearts have flown to Liaodong, they have already understood, even if they eliminate the two steppe empires this time, but they will not get too many rewards, because of their own willfulness, they took away everything that should be taken away and what should not be taken away, as a result, Goguryeo came, and the old and young went to the top of the battle, and it is estimated that they will definitely be reprimanded after going back, and they must not forget to thank Qin Qiong and Suning, the two people who turned the tide.

Su Dingfang had to understand the latest situation in Liaodong every day, and cared about his younger brother who was in danger, but when he learned that his younger brother had made great achievements instead of accidents, and even when he took his disciple Xue Rengui to make great achievements, Su Dingfang was finally relieved, and he finally became the first general of the cavalry team to leave the grassland and go to Liaodong three months later, leading 30,000 iron horsemen to leave the Western Turkic steppe and go to Yingzhou in Liaodong.

After the first battle, followed by another battle, Su Dingfang did not feel tired at all, it is more important to rescue his younger brother, his younger brother is desperately working in Liaodong, taking 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 sailors to fight to the death and win with 100,000 people in Goguryeo, that is how remarkable, compared with his younger brother, he is simply weak, although he really beat the Western Turks down, but there is nothing commendable here, there is no bloody battle and no desperate fight.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was simply swept away by the autumn wind, sweeping away the Western Turks and sweeping them clean.

All the generals who participated in the Northern Expedition understood, in a strict sense, this time they were still considered criminals, and His Majesty would definitely be dissatisfied when he went back, and a group of bastards and a family all went into battle, just to get merit, and went to the battlefield to gild, and some generals even brought their fifteen-year-old children with them, saying that they could get extra points after killing a few more enemies and taking the military academy or something......

Isn't the direct result that Datang has no soldiers and no generals? Qin Qiong and Suning just set off for a while, Li Ermaxi was not able to eat well and sleep well, until Suning burned the capital of Goguryeo and captured Gao Jianwu The news came back, Li Ermaxi was happy, and even captured Ashina Ni and Yi Nan Li Ermaxi was not so happy, obviously, this time the first work is either Qin Qiong or Suning, people not only wiped their buttocks, but also wiped them very cleanly.

At this point, the big guys have nothing to say, one by one they hurriedly want to understand the things on the grassland, and then lead the army to Goguryeo to make up for the merits, but this is not easy, except for Su Dingfang who completed the task perfectly and was allowed to be the first to leave, everyone else had to be delayed for a while. Wait for the arrival of the newly recruited standing garrison of the imperial court before withdrawing to Liaodong.

Li Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong, these people's ruined intestines are all green, why don't they stay? Or leave a son! Li Zhencheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin also regretted that their intestines were blue, and they also laughed at Changsun Chong and Li Boyao at that time, one daughter-in-law wanted to give birth to a baby, and the other was unlucky to be locked up in a military university and couldn't get out, what was the result?

People have turned the tide and made great contributions, and when they come back, they must be added to the rank of knight, and they don't have to say that it would be good for these people to get some rewards, and they still expect anything else? Alas, bad luck, greed can't chew too much!

But people are so lucky. Maybe it's a fight for your life. That's really a desperate fight, not to mention Qin Qiong, let's talk about Suning, 10,000 people landed in Goguryeo. The direct sneak attack on people's national capital actually succeeded. killed a large number of high-ranking officials and nobles, and also arrested the king and queen. What kind of courage and luck should it be? Without courage, certainly not daring to go, without luck. If you go to death, only those who have both courage and luck can have the possibility of victory.

Suning won the victory, succeeded, and made a great contribution, this time when he came back, the duke can be mixed up, the first-class marquis has been doing it for five or six years, and it should not be difficult to get a third-class duke to do it, then the youngest grandfather of the Tang Dynasty is about to be born, the grandfather who fights with his life is well deserved, no one dares to have an objection, except for his age to say things, but what else can he say besides age?

People turned the tide, didn't want to fight, didn't want to fight, not only ruined Goguryeo, but also captured the king of Goguryeo, not only captured back, but also directly made Goguryeo into the Three Kingdoms, at first a group of people were fighting there, and then now it is three people fighting there, the Silla people want to participate, but they were beaten miserably and went back to lick their wounds, Goguryeo and Silla were hit hard, no one got any benefits, and the biggest benefit has been obtained by the Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo's three separatist forces today, Quangai Suwen, Li Yuenan, Jin Sheng, Quangai Suwen is the strongest, Li Yuenan is the weakest, but Jin Sheng is just that the number of soldiers and horses is not as good as Quangai Suwen, if you really want to fight, I don't know who wins and who loses, anyway, the three parties are still fighting, Jin Sheng and Li Yuenan have allied against Quangai Suwen, Jin Sheng also saved Li Yuenan, who was about to perish, in order to allow him to support a little longer, Jin Sheng even assisted Li Yuenan with 10,000 cavalry equipment.

Li Yuenan himself knows that at present, he can't do without Jin Sheng, and he can't let Jin Sheng down, so he desperately trains and counterattacks, and directly uses counterattacks as training, whether it is old or small, as long as it is a man, he will all pull it to the battlefield, even some of the stronger women will not let go, all of them will be pulled to the battlefield, and they will go directly to the battlefield if they change their armor, no training, no help, and only survive it!

Li Yuenan's strategy of exhausting Ze and fishing has achieved temporary results, the huge casualties at the beginning have been slowly controlled, and the elite of the army has gradually risen, in the face of Quangai Suwen's army has been able to fight face-to-face, and won many times, he has recovered a lot of lost ground, in the last battle, Jin Sheng's aid of 10,000 cavalry and Jin Sheng's 10,000 cavalry mixed together Quangai Suwen army launched a charge, won a big victory, Quangai Suwen lost the most important city in the north, had to retreat to the second line, The battle line was stabilized, and the war in the north was basically over.

After this battle, Li Yuenan had no offensive strength, so he had to stop marching and start resting, and then reorganize the army, reorganize the army, and become more capable, after Jin Sheng's 10,000 cavalry left, Li Yuenan's remaining more than 9,000 cavalry and the original headquarters cavalry were mixed together again to become a cavalry of more than 13,000 people, becoming the absolute main force of the army.

Quangai Suwen occupies more than half of the original Li Yuenan's territory, but he has lost a very important city, or has an advantage, but the emergency situation in the south makes him have to send northern troops to the south to support, in order to stabilize Jin Sheng's attack, to get a respite, so as to think about other ways to defeat Jin Sheng, Jin Sheng not only has many soldiers, but also has strong combat effectiveness, which is definitely not comparable to Li Yuenan, if it is Li Yuenan, Quangai Suwen is sure to eliminate him within half a month.

But not now, now Quan Gai Suwen has to concentrate on dealing with Jin Sheng, it is difficult to fight with Jin Sheng's army, Jin Sheng does not have too many cavalry, mainly builds hoplites, he is also very good at using infantry, his infantry formation is very solid, repeatedly thwarted Quan Gai Suwen's cavalry assault, forcing Quan Gai Suwen to use rockets to deal with it, but that is only an expedient measure, the iron wall of the general formation is not so easy to deal with.

Similarly, Quangai Suwen's cavalry is also more powerful than Jin Sheng's cavalry, the two sides have a duel of 3,000 cavalry, the result is that Quangai Suwen's army won a big victory, and pursued by the victory, and Jin Sheng's infantry array was disrupted by his own defeated cavalry, so Quangai Suwen's infantry and cavalry followed closely and defeated Jin Sheng, after that battle, Jin Sheng did not use cavalry much, but mainly used infantry, anyway, Quangai Suwen's cavalry was not enough to pose a huge threat to Jin Sheng.
