Ten miles away, the tall walls of Sihyeongseong, the capital of Baekje, are already faintly in sight.Not long ago, the war was experienced, so the trees near Si Yu have long been cut down, and there are still scorched earth in many places, and faint clusters of arrows can be seen in some grass and mud, and some large stones have traces of knives and axes.In that battle, the city of Siyu used trebuchets.I don't know what kind of courage the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty used to brave the arrows and stones to complete such a feat as conquering Baekje in half a month.Thin strands of rain fell like smoke.Su Dawei wiped a handful of fine water droplets on his face, and reached out to pat the dragon under him to soothe his anxious mood.Just as he was about to say something more to An Wensheng, Su Qingjie exclaimed, attracting him and An Wensheng's attention again.It turned out that Ashina Daozhen had already talked about the most important part of Taizong's expedition to Goguryeo."
The reinforcements were about to collapse, and Sun Daiyin, the lord of Baiyan City, saw that there was no hope, and finally surrendered the city.However, Taizong did not really plunder, but used the money in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty to reward all the soldiers who besieged the city, calmed the soldiers' desire for wealth, and renamed Baiyan City as Yancheng, and ordered Sun Daiyin to be the assassin of Yancheng. ”Su Dawei's eyes were surprised.This was something he didn't expect.He also noticed that Su Qingjie, Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie on the left all showed thoughtful looks.If it is an ordinary general's order, when he is angry and raises troops, he will slaughter the city, and he will slaughter the city.But like Taizong, being able to control his emotions and control the greed of soldiers to achieve political success shows that Taizong is very sober-minded.It was easy for Baiyan City to be slaughtered, but in the future, other cities were afraid that they would resist even more desperately.Pardon the old and young in Baiyan City, this is benevolence.It is faith to give money from the treasury instead of plunder, and to reward soldiers.The appointment of Sun Daiyin as the history of the Iwaki Thorn is righteousness.If you play this hand, unless you are a wolf-hearted person, you will never betray Taizong again.Moreover, even if Sun Daiyin wants to rebel, he is only afraid of the people of Baiyan City, and there will be people who will be grateful for Taizong's benevolence.In addition, the nearby cities, seeing that the surrender not only did not give the guilt, but was rewarded and continued to be reused, I am afraid that the heart of resistance will also be shaken a little.Sure enough, it is worthy of Tian Khan, and this hand is played beautifully.Even today, for Su Dawei and others, it is also of great reference significance.An Wensheng sighed on the side: "No wonder Taizong can get the talents of the Quartet to defect, I can't wait to be born a few years earlier and fight with Taizong." ”"Lao An, didn't you say that you hate officialdom and don't go out of office?"
Su Dawei gave him a blank look."
Ahem, if it's the Taizong Dynasty, I'm willing to serve the country.""
Hehe, insightful."
Su Dawei gave him a thumbs up."
Don't divert the topic, after Baiyan City, what happened to Tang Jun?"
Su Qingjie asked."
After ten days of rest and recuperation in Baiyan City, on June 11, Taizong left more than 10,000 people to garrison the few cities he had just captured, and led 50,000 people to kill Anshi City, the last fortified city in Liaodong."
Groov!
Everyone's hearts moved, knowing that Ashina Daozhen had finally talked about the meat.I heard that in the past, Taizong conquered Goguryeo, but unfortunately he was defeated in Anshi.In the end, Liaodong will not be allowed.But not many people really know the details.The older generation didn't mention this matter much, and they, the second generation of soldiers and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, didn't know the details."
On June 20, the army arrived in Anshi and immediately launched a fierce attack on Anshi, and on the 21st, the chieftains of northern Goguryeo, Gao Yanshou and Gao Hye-jin, led 150,000 reinforcements to Anseong, and also killed Anseong."
Hiss~ Everyone gasped.Fifty thousand, to one hundred and fifty thousand.And add Anshi Castle.This battle is not easy to fight."
Before the decisive battle, Taizong and the generals on the left and right once said: If I am high and longevity, there are three strategies, the upper and lower strategies, the upper strategy is to use Anshi City as horns for each other, occupy important places and hold on, and then send cavalry to plunder the grain road of the Tang army.The middle strategy is to evacuate with the people of Anshi.The next strategy is to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.I expect that Gao Yanshou will have a decisive battle with our army. ”That is, when Tang Taizong Li Shimin said this, everyone cheered, and if someone else said this, he would definitely be scolded back.There are 150,000 people, and you are only 50,000 people, and people don't seek a decisive battle, so do they come to waste money, food, and travel?"
Before the decisive battle, Taizong did a few more things, first of all, let Ashina Sheer, that is, I, Aye, lead 10,000 Turkic cavalry to lure Gao Yanshou's army, and after the battle, he feinted defeat to despise his heart."
Speaking of his old man's majestic posture back then, Ashina Dao really had a sense of eyebrows flying.On the day of the decisive battle, Gao Yanshou led an army of 150,000 troops, lined up for more than 40 miles, and showed off his military strength in front of the Tang army.Taizong had a plan and sent an envoy to Gao Yanshou to express his cowardice, and said that as long as the two countries were reconciled, Datang would be given a face, so that it would be convenient to withdraw the troops, and accidentally revealed the secret of Datang's 'lack of food'.Gao Yanshou was overjoyed, and the day before yesterday, he had just chased and cut down the Turkic cavalry of the Tang Dynasty for dozens of miles, thinking that the Tang army really did not dare to fight.On the 22nd, before dawn, Taizong issued an order for a general attack.First, 20,000 people were left to guard the camp to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy army in Anshi City.Then he ordered Li Tao to lead 15,000 infantry cavalry to line up at Xiling.He also ordered the eldest grandson Wuji to lead 11,000 elite horsemen to copy the back of the Goguryeo army from the north of the mountain.In the end, Taizong himself led 4,000 foot cavalry, climbed the North Ridge, and commanded the battle.On the Goguryeo side, seeing that the Tang army only had more than 10,000 people in front, they all laughed at it and said that the Tang army was not self-sufficient.Taizong saw on the mountain that the eldest grandson Wuji had gone around behind the enemy, and immediately ordered the drums to march.For a time, the war drums and horns resounded on the battlefield.From the front, from the rear, and Taejong from the flank, they all attacked the Goguryeo army.It wasn't until this time that Gao Yanshou realized that something was wrong.Hurriedly ordered the Goguryeo army to block the Tang army's attack in three ways.It's a pity that it's too late, the Goguryeo army formation has not yet been arranged, and when they hear the order, the soldiers can't find the generals, and the generals can't find the soldiers, and they are killed in front of the Tang Dynasty iron cavalry, and they can't resist it for a while.Moreover, there was lightning and thunder at that time, and heavy rain fell from the sky, and Goguryeo suspected that the Tang army had a spell, and it was completely chaotic.By the way, when the two sides were in a fierce battle, a fierce general wearing silver armor was killed from the Tang army, rode alone, and rushed into the Goguryeo army. ”Speaking of which, Ashina Daozhen finally stopped and needed to take a breath.And Su Dawei said in unison with An Wensheng and Su Qingjie: "Xue Rengui!
”"That's right!"
Ashina Daozhen slapped his thigh: "I was right by you!"
”Su Dawei rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: Xue Rengui, my brother, can I not know his deeds."
In short, in this battle, Taizong defeated the Goguryeo army of 150,000 with 30,000 people, chased the Goguryeo army for nearly 100 miles, and finally killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, captured 50,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, 10,000 iron armor, and countless other baggage equipment."
Hearing these trophies, all the generals, including Su Dawei, were all rubbing their heads and showing excitement.30,000 broke 150,000, this record is a miracle no matter where it is placed.And Taizong Li Shimin is good at playing such miraculous achievements."
By the way, after talking for a long time, you still haven't said it, what happened in Anshi City?""
Don't worry, Gao Yanshou is not over yet, he gathered 30,000 remnants of the army after the war, and he stubbornly held on to the mountain to prepare for a protracted battle with our army, but was surrounded by 30,000 Tang troops, demolished all the bridges, and cut off the way back for Gao Yanshou's army.""
Wait, how do 30,000 surround 30,000?
The book of war doesn't say that ten rules are encircled, how can one to one be encircled?
”Su Dawei asked.Ashina Daozhen spread his hands: "You ask me, how do I know, it's probably just a thin circle." ”"Ugh.""
As a result, Gao Yanshou came out and surrendered the next day, and after Taizong was disdainful, he selected 3,500 chiefs from 30,000 Goguryeo captives and moved them to the interior, and the remaining 30,000 captives were put back.""
Released?"
This time, it greatly surprised Su Dawei and Lou Shide.Captives are the enemy's living force, and they can't be easily released without killing.Taizong's actions are always unexpected, but his careful thinking is profound.Su Dawei thought for a moment and said: "The Tang army must be difficult to transport grain and grass at this time, and it can't afford to raise idlers." ”Ashina Daozhen, Su Qingjie and the others looked at him, and Su Qingjie was a little surprised: "Ami, your brain reacts quickly, and it should be like this." ”"That's right, Ami."
Ashina Daozhen continued: "The captives were not all released, and there were more than 3,000 soldiers of the Ya tribe, all of whom were killed. ”"Pit killing?""
Why is that?"
Ashina Daozhen is still spreading his hands: "I don't know." ”Su Dawei put on the back of the dragon son, waved his hand and said: "Wait, let me think about it, Taizong actually used three methods to deal with this batch of prisoners, one is to move the chief back to the mainland, the second is to release most of them, and the third is to kill thousands of soldiers of the Ya tribe." ”"So what is the meaning of Taizong's move?""
I thought that those tribal chiefs were entrenched in various villages, and bringing these people back to the Central Plains was a proton, which could not only be hostages, but also extract local intelligence from their mouths, and also allow these chiefs to persuade the local people to surrender, which was a plan to kill birds with one stone.""
The people who put it?""
As I said just now, the Tang army is short of food, where are the 30,000 prisoners, that is 30,000 mouths to eat, if they are not fed, once these hungry soldiers mutiny, it will be another trouble, let them go, not only reduce the burden of our army, but also allow them to spread the strength of the Tang army in the Goguryeo army, and give preferential treatment to prisoners, which can break the fighting spirit of the Goguryeo army."
An Wensheng listened to it and stroked his palms and said, "Ami's words are wonderful, it must be so." ”"Wensheng, you have changed, you didn't like to pat on the back before.""
Get out!"
An Wensheng said angrily at him: "There is a third one, you can see if you can guess it." ”"Why don't we all write it in the palm of our hands, and then right?""
Thief, your mother, who is playing a guessing game with you, this third one, I don't think you can guess it
