Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has gradually lost its control over the Liaodong region, because of the endless wars in the Central Plains, the land of Liaodong, which is regarded as a bitter cold land, is naturally not valued by the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as the nominal rule can be guaranteed, and there is not much tax revenue anyway, which is the general concept of the Central Plains Dynasty, and since Goguryeo annexed the three counties of Liaodong established during the Han Dynasty and its strength has risen sharply, the Central Plains Dynasty has begun to have the idea of running Liaodong.

For example, the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, which was the only inland city and state capital set up by the Central Plains Dynasty in the Liaodong region during the Sui and Tang dynasties, was to ensure the relationship between the Tang central government and the rest of the foreign ethnic groups in the Liaodong region, so Yingzhou also had a large number of troops.

If you put it in a few years later, another time and space when Goguryeo really committed crimes, Zhang Jian once made great contributions and led his troops to defeat Goguryeo's many invasions, which indirectly triggered Emperor Taizong's three expeditions to Goguryeo, and laid the foundation for the complete elimination of Goguryeo during the Goguryeo period.

But this time, Zhang Jian was unlucky, although he got the secret report of the blood drops, and he also made preparations, but this time the progress of the intelligence work of the blood drops was extremely difficult, and even Goguryeo carried out a major purge, losing more than a dozen experienced blood drops intelligence officers, and the intelligence was only sent to Zhang Jian one day before Goguryeo sent troops, as the highest military and political chief of the Tang Dynasty in the northeast region, Zhang Jian was naturally not easy, but this time the time was really not enough.

When the Goguryeo army launched a surprise attack, Zhang Jian had not yet fully assembled the army. I could only take the 5,000 men and horses who were not well prepared to defend the city desperately, fought for three days and three nights, and fought for the time to transmit the information back to Chang'an City, and then the city was broken, Zhang Jian took the remnants of the 3,000 soldiers who had finally gathered up and retreated all the way, and the Goguryeo people pursued all the way, and in the end, only more than 1,000 of the more than 13,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Yingzhou Governor's Mansion were still gathered around Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian kept retreating, and had retreated to the position of today's Shanhaiguan. The whole of Liaodong was mourned.

This was not without Suning's expectations. On the way to the battlefield with his troops, Suning and Qin Qiong had studied the current real situation in detail, and made the worst prediction that when the army arrived, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses would already be under the city of Beiping. There are 10,000 soldiers and horses in Beiping City. Zhang Jian retreated to Beiping City. Relying on several years of operation, it can support for a while, after our 20,000 soldiers and horses arrive. You can also resist for a while.

However, Qin Qiong and Li Boyao both believed that if they didn't find a way to beat the offensive momentum of the Goguryeo people, then it was very likely that the Goguryeo people would divide their troops and invade the interior when they fully surrounded Beiping City.

If there is no external response, Beiping City is just a lonely city, as long as the Goguryeo people besiege Beiping City, they can naturally divide their troops to do other things, and it is difficult for our soldiers and horses to fight out of the city to rescue other regions, then North China and Shandong will face the threat of the Goguryeo people, our sin will be great, we must build a strong defense line in the Youzhou area, hold or recapture some cities, so that the Goguryeo people can not cross our defense line, and there will be a confrontation.

As long as the confrontation happens, we are in an advantage, we have not developed agriculture in the land of Liaodong, and we have not had time to operate, and the Goguryeo people cannot get food and ordnance supplements, and they will definitely not be able to support it for long, as long as we firmly grasp the first line of Beiping, then the Goguryeo people will inevitably lack food and clothing, and the military will be in turmoil, and then it will be our opportunity, before that, it is necessary for us to use the pride of the Goguryeo people to make some articles.

The Goguryeo people pursued Zhang Jian's corps all the way, Zhang Jian was defeated again and again, the Goguryeo people must despise our army, when they did not know that our reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, we had to launch a surprise attack, night attack is the best way to fight, we have few soldiers and horses, and a frontal confrontation is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, only a night attack is the best way.

Suning had a different view on this, he felt that as a person who was the best at using night attack tactics, night attack was the best method, but it was also the worst way to fight, because if the Goguryeo soldiers came to Beiping or any city with soldiers and horses garrisoned, they must have experienced the harassment of the night attack most often done by the defenders, and they must have prepared for the night attack.

Whether it is a surprise attack or a night attack, our number of soldiers and horses is far less than theirs, once we lose our impact and are surrounded by their large army, then we are finished, and the best way now is not to fight hard, but to surround Wei to save Zhao! We built three navies, not just for others to see! It's for war! Both the East China Sea Navy and the South China Sea Navy have already had the experience of dispatching and fighting, but the Youzhou Navy has not yet happened, and the Youzhou Navy is limited to regional reasons, so it is not easy to recruit soldiers and horses.

But for more than two years, the Youzhou Navy has also grown in size of several thousand people, and there are hundreds of warships, why don't we use the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao? The Goguryeo people have attacked our Tang Dynasty with all their might, so there must be no more troops to defend in its own territory, and it should be noted that there is not only Goguryeo in that land, but also Baekje and Silla!

Baekje is useless, the weakest country among the three kingdoms, but Silla is different, more than eighty years ago, Silla defeated Goguryeo and Baekje to gain their Han River region, so that it has a lot of population and fertile land, and has access to the sea, and is also as hostile to Goguryeo as the Tang Dynasty, if we can say that Silla and Datang will ally together, let Silla attack Goguryeo from behind, and we will land on the coast of Goguryeo and directly attack Goguryeo itself! I don't believe that the Goguryeo army will not come back!

Changsun Chong raised an objection, since Goguryeo sent 150,000 troops to attack our Tang Dynasty, even if it would not take into account the surprise attack of our Tang Dynasty and the navy, it would not ignore the factor of Silla. It is very likely that some kind of agreement has been reached with Silla, which will send a large army to attack my Datang, otherwise how could Goguryeo make such a low-level mistake?

Suning smiled coldly, there is no absolute agreement between countries, just the level of interests, as long as the Tang Dynasty bids higher than Goguryeo's, do you say that Silla will help the Tang Dynasty attack Goguryeo, so as to get Goguryeo's territory, or wait for Goguryeo's technology and food to become more powerful after the Tang Dynasty arrives and then turn around and fight it? Silla robbed Goguryeo of the Han River Valley, and Goguryeo has never swallowed this breath!

Speaking of this question. Suning, the left squire of the Zongheng Division, who has been dealing with external forces for a long time, has an absolute advantage. On this kind of issue, no one in this army is more proficient than Suning, so Qin Qiong, Li Boyao, and Changsun Chong all agreed with Suning's proposal. So. Then there's another question. How should I say that Silla sent troops to attack Goguryeo?

The blood drops of the Tang Dynasty spies spread all over the Korean Peninsula, and Goguryeo seemed to have learned something and launched a great purge. The blood droplets in Goguryeo lost Yan zhòng, but the blood drops of Silla are not small, we can contact a Silla blood droplet, Suning asked the vertical and horizontal departments to deliver a diplomatic document to the king of Silla as soon as possible, and then let this blood drop reappear with the official side of the Tang Dynasty, directly meet the king of Silla, and say with a three-inch incorruptible tongue that the king of Silla will send troops!

For Suning's idea, everyone thinks it's a bit risky and unreliable, who has that three-inch tongue that can move the king of Silla? Is there such a talent among the local blood droplet agents in Silla? They don't know the inner workings of the blood droplets, but Suning knows it clearly, as long as he tells the secret agent everything that needs to be said, he can definitely say that this is the most basic subject in the vertical and horizontal arts, and everyone has learned it.

Let Silla's blood drops organize to elect one of the most eloquent to meet the king of Silla, then wait for their news, and for this alliance, Suning feels that it can be 100% feasible, as long as the benefits are known, let the king of Silla understand that the victory of the Tang Dynasty and the defeat of Goguryeo is definitely a good thing for Silla, then it is enough, Silla will not let Goguryeo be more powerful!

That's the most important reason! Neither Silla nor Baekje would be willing to see Goguryeo stronger, this is an irrefutable conclusion, so this is Suning's biggest reliance, as long as the king of Silla does not have a brain to think that Goguryeo's victory is a good thing for him, then it is enough, Silla will definitely be worried, will definitely send troops, and the Tang Dynasty can even promise that the territory of Goguryeo attacked by the Tang army can also be handed over to Silla to rule, will Silla not agree?

As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely agree! Goguryeo also had northern allies, a tribal state called the Khitan as allies, providing powerful cavalry, in the past wars, Silla and Baekje both suffered greatly, if Goguryeo won and obtained the Datang city of Beiping, thus getting what they wanted, it would be absolutely disastrous for Silla and Baekje, and the king of Silla would not be so stupid!

Speaking of this matter, Qin Qiong and the three of them suddenly felt that they would never agree to this kind of thing when they sat in the position of the king of Silla, not to mention that the three kingdoms of Goguryeo were different from the three kingdoms of the Han Dynasty in China, the three kingdoms of China were of the same ancestry, the same culture and the same bloodline, and the relatives of the people of this country were in that country, and the three kingdoms of Goguryeo were different, and they did not identify with each other in culture and blood, so they would not consider any ethnic problems at all, but only consider whether their country was strong or not.

This is Suning's biggest reliance, the Tang army can send 10,000 soldiers and horses north to Beiping to assist Zhang Jian in defending Beiping City, according to the previous strategic plan to establish a horn defense line, to prevent the Goguryeo army from breaking through further, and the other 10,000 soldiers and horses will break into Goguryeo under the leadership of brave and insightful people, and do an extremely dangerous game of life in Goguryeo itself.

The final decision was made that Qin Qiong took Changsun Chong and Li Boyao to lead 10,000 troops to Beiping City to assist the Beiping army in resisting Goguryeo's frontal attack, while Suning and Xue Rengui took 10,000 soldiers and horses to rely on the navy to cross the sea, directly into Goguryeo itself, and went directly to Chang'an City, the current capital of Goguryeo.

Suning remembered MacArthur's extremely Inchon landing campaign, which beat the golden sun to the ground, and now Chang'an City, the capital of Goguryeo, is also near the current Pyongyang City, although it is not a city, but it is that meaning, the former national capital was called Pyongyang City, but that Pyongyang City was probably the last county of the four Han counties that were annexed by Goguryeo during the Han Dynasty, and now this Chang'an City is the Pyongyang City area of present-day North Korea.

In fact, the battle of landing in Korea was not the first to be fought by Mark Arthur, even if Suning now intends to do this, it is also a descendant, as early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the famous admiral Yang Fu once led the marines to cross the sea to attack the Korean Peninsula, although it was not done because of internal disputes, but it is still a very glorious stroke in the history of the Chinese Navy.

Since that battle is not remembered by too many people, let me fight a beach-grabbing landing battle that will be remembered by future generations! (To be continued......)
