Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3049 Huihun City
Liaodong has a pleasant climate in May, with cool mornings and evenings and warm middays, and the sun won’t feel too hot.Zuo Wuwei set up camp on the bank of Yanshui outside the city of Anshi. The camp was strict and the soldiers were strong and strong. The barracks were neatly scattered for several miles. In the big tent of the Chinese army, the enemy's situation is well known.

Yanshui is also known as Taizi River. It is said that during the Warring States period, Crown Prince Dan of Yan State sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, but the plan failed, so the Qin army aggressively attacked Yan State. In the capital city of Ji, Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan abandoned the city and fled. They lived in Yanshui for a generation to accumulate strength and plan to counterattack the old land of Yan.

Dai Wangjia advised Yan Wangxi at this time: "Qin aggressively attacked Yan because of Prince Dan. If you offer Prince Dan's head, Qin will definitely retreat." So Yan Wangxi sent someone to kill Prince Dan. But the Qin State did not stop there, and continued to pursue the army until it completely wiped out the Yan State.

In order to commemorate Prince Dan, the people of Yan State called Yanshui the Prince River...

Yanshui flows through Anshi City, and flows into Liaoshui, the largest river in Liaodong, at the outskirts of the city.

People in the camp screamed and were preparing to welcome His Majesty Li Er to lead the army.

Cheng Yaojin took off his armor, and sat in the tent of the Chinese army in regular clothes, drank some herbal tea, looked at Xue Wanche who was sitting under him, and asked, "What action can Pingrang City take?"

Xue Wanche wore his helmet and armor, and his face was still stained with sweat. It was obvious that he had just returned from outside. He heard the words: "According to scouts, Pingrang City has gathered more than 30 troops, half of them are elites, and the cavalry has reached three hundred thousand." Thousands of people. Yuan Gai Su Wen has already issued a death order, and he would rather die than die, but also defend Ping Rang City."

As he spoke, he exhaled and drank a cup of herbal tea.

Although May in Liaodong was not hot, it was still summer after all. The enemy army who was wearing such armor and went out to patrol Anshi City had just returned, and the middle clothes inside the armor were already soaked.

Cheng Yaojin put down his teacup, and said with emotion: "At the beginning, His Majesty was thinking about conquering Goguryeo. We all thought that His Majesty was very happy and wanted to complete the unfinished achievements of Emperor Sui Yang, so as to show his brilliance and prowess and march forward. But the more we understand Goguryeo, the more frightened and powerful it is."

At that time, His Majesty Li Er once pointed to the map and said to the ministers: "Jiuying Dading is the only one corner today." He regarded the conquest of Goguryeo as a lifetime achievement, and hoped that with this feat, he could surpass Qin Emperor Hanwu and achieve the grand plan of one emperor through the ages overlord.

At the right time, the court did not approve of His Majesty Li Er's "warlike" idea.The Yin Jian of the former Sui Dynasty is not far away. The power of the whole country conquered Goguryeo three times and all failed, which even led to the decline of national power and the turmoil of the country. In the end, the country was cut off. How can we repeat the same mistakes?

However, His Majesty Li Er was determined to overcome all opinions, and finally reached the plan of the Eastern Expedition.

Even today, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty have set foot on the territory of Goguryeo, and many people still think that this is a manifestation of militarism.The reason why not too many people stood up to express their opposition was that all forces regarded this Eastern Expedition as a feast for military achievements...

Xue Wanche also said: "Yes, the vastness of Goguryeo is shocking. It is more than a thousand miles from east to west and eight hundred miles from north to south. Not another Turk!"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "Goguryeo is much more difficult to deal with than the Turks. The Turks lived on nomads. Even though they were strong for a while, they did not have a solid foundation. If they were defeated in the first battle, they could only migrate with their families and flee thousands of miles away. Goguryeo is different. Although it came from a nomadic people, it has incorporated too much Han culture, and the country has followed the example of the Han family to implement the system of prefectures and counties. Most of the people live on farming. It is stable, able to resist natural disasters, and will not hurt the fundamentals because of temporary setbacks. Although Emperor Sui Yang's three Eastern Expeditions failed, they dealt a great blow to Goguryeo's national strength, but how many years have passed? See? Look at today's Goguryeo, once faced with the Tang Dynasty's invasion, it can still calmly organize hundreds of thousands of troops to resist."

Why in history those grassland tribes that were famous and prosperous for a while, such as the dog army, the Huns, the Turks, etc., gradually died out in the end, but only the Han people could win the final victory and always stand in the Central Plains. Afraid of natural disasters from powerful enemies, inheriting endlessly?

The fundamental reason is the difference between nomadic pastoralism and farming.

This is a view that almost everyone in the world agrees with. The ability to resist risks and sustainability of farming civilization have too many advantages over nomadic peoples.

Although Xue Wanche doesn't know much about politics, economics, etc., when it comes to Goguryeo's military, he takes it seriously.

Turks are so powerful that they claim to have 40 people who control strings. They stretch from the Liaohai Sea in the east, the Caspian Sea in the west, the Mongolian desert in the south, and Lake Baikal in the north. The length is tens of thousands of miles from east to west, and five to six thousand miles from north to south. Isn't it ten times that of Goguryeo?However, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the six armies attacked the Turkic army, and killed the most elite Turkic army in the first battle.Although its remnants established the Western Turks, their national strength is not the same as when it was strong.

Goguryeo is different.

After three conquests by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the loss of national power was almost exhausted, and the disaster of national subjugation was close at hand. However, in just over [-] years, it quickly recovered and became strong, and it was possible to break the wrist with Datang.

If the Tang Dynasty treats it as a barbarian foreign country and ignores it, and allows it to develop for 50 to [-] years, it may become another Tubo and become a serious problem for the Tang Dynasty.

It is a wise move to annihilate them in time when they fail to rise.

The two of them were talking, when suddenly they saw soldiers from outside coming in to report: "The army has marched to the west of Yanshui for sixty miles, please get ready and go to meet them, Commander."

Cheng Yaojin stood up quickly, took off his uniform, asked his own soldiers to help him put on his armor, walked out of the big tent with Xue Wanche, got on his horse, and led the [-] cavalry that had been assembled long ago, across the pontoon bridge erected on Yanshui, toward the West ran away.

An hour later, when I walked to the side of a mountain, I saw dozens of cavalry rushing out from the mountain pass in the distance. Judging by their attire, they were scouts from the Tang army.

The team of scouts approached, and the first one got off his horse and saluted: "I have seen Lu Guogong! Your Majesty will command the army to come, and there are still five miles to arrive."

Cheng Yaojin nodded and ordered his cavalry to stand on both sides of the road and wait for the army to arrive.

Not long after,

The smoke and dust billowed from the mountain pass, the flags were unfurled, and the tide-like army rushed in.

Cheng Yaojin led his subordinates along the side of the road, waiting for the cavalry in front of the army to pass by, and saw the emperor's imperial cavalry surrounded by the imperial army.

The emperor's expedition is the most honorable honor in the world. "The sun and the moon are constant, the dragon is the flag, the silk is the scorpion, the miscellaneous silk is the thing, the bear and the tiger are the flags, the birds and falcons are the scorpion, the turtle and the snake are the scorpion, and the whole feathers are the scorpion." , Analyze the feathers as banners", countless flags are fluttering in the wind, jade cymbals are singing luan, and nine flags are flying.

The nine kinds of flags, including Chang, Banner, Ji, Wu, Banner, Ji, Yan, Ji, and Jing, represent the glorious guard of honor and the supremacy of the world in "Zhou Li".

Cheng Yaojin immediately kicked off the saddle and jumped off the horse, followed closely by the generals and soldiers, all in unison.

Kneeling on one knee by the side of the road, when Yu Jia came up to him, he shouted loudly: "I bow to Your Majesty!"

In the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, there was no ritual of kneeling and worshiping, but the army used this way of kneeling on one knee to express their obedience and respect for the superior, and to show the obedience of the army.

The imperial carriage was a large ornately decorated carriage. At this time, it stopped slowly, and His Majesty Li Er's voice sounded in the carriage: "Lu Guo is fair, please board the carriage and walk with me."

It is a great honor to ride with the emperor.

Cheng Yaojin said: "This humble official obeys the order!"

Then he got up and stepped forward, but the nearly 60-year-old man was still in good shape. He jumped onto the shaft of the car lightly, then took off his saber and handed it to the imperial army on the shaft, opened the curtain and entered the car.

The car started again and slowly drove towards the military camp by the bank of Yanshui.

In the mountain pass at the rear, a steady stream of troops poured out endlessly like a tide. The troops were at their peak, their morale was high, and their neat steps shook the mountains. Even the river flowing not far away was turbulent. Set off a monstrous wave.

On the carriage, His Majesty Li Er raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at the mountains and the mighty river outside, his mood was ups and downs like a river, surging and surging.

In the northeast corner, powerful enemies are entrenched, threatening the Han family.Once its wings are full, it is bound to knock on the pass and invade the Central Plains.If the Central Plains is strong and prosperous, they will be able to resist foreign aggression and defend their home and country. However, if the Central Plains is in turmoil, the foreigners will have the opportunity to spy on them. JAC.

My generation is a tiger, and I should serve my family and country, and defeat a powerful enemy. Why should I be afraid of death?
　There are some disputes about the original site of Anshi City. One said it was in Haicheng, Liaoning, and the other said it was in Dashiqiao, Liaoning.The original site of Jian'an City is located in Qingshiling, Gaizhou, Liaoning, less than a hundred miles away from the Dashiqiao. The two important battle sites for the Eastern Conquest of Koguryo should not be so close, so the book uses the second theory.

　　Xiongyue City is the original site of Pingguo County in the Han Dynasty. It is now a small city in southern Liaoning. I live here.

　　Of course, my understanding of history is superficial and vulgar. If there is any fallacy, please correct me, but I will definitely not change it... Hey.
