Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 370
About half a month later, when Qin Hao persuaded General Black Tooth to show his skills in Geling City, the Liaodong area had already begun to form the Han Chinese Volunteer Army.

Among these newly formed Han Chinese legions, there are even some Goguryeo veterans who were just broken up by the Tang army last month and who have just laid down their weapons.

These Han troops may not be of much use in attacking the city, but at least Datang doesn't need to worry about trivial matters like law and order. Li Shimin's available troops have suddenly increased by a large amount.

And Datang's ethnic policy in Liaodong has also undergone fundamental changes with this situation, a bit similar to the Mongolian Yuan, which divided the people of the peninsula into four classes.

The first class is of course the Tang people. These Tang people will mainly live in the concession in the future, and they will go out to meet the officials and third-level officials. There are even small wooden signs saying that Fuyu people and dogs are not allowed to enter.

The second class is the original Han people. These Han people can be officials, can do business with the Tang people, and can freely enter and leave the concession to make a living on the territory of the Tang people.

The third class is those ethnic minorities in this land, such as Bohai people, Jie people, Khitan people and so on.

The Buyeo people, on the other hand, were completely exploited.

Although doing so is not conducive to national integration in the long run, it is always like a powder keg, but it is simple and rude, and it will have the fastest effect in the short term.

It's just that the workload of setting things right in the later stage is frighteningly large, but Qin Hao is still soft-hearted, always feeling that there is a part of his sin in this, and he has been worrying about this matter for the next ten years.

As a matter of course, after Li Shimin made up his mind, Anshicheng was won in a single charge. On the day the city was broken, Gao Huizhen stood at the top of the city and yelled at Tang Jun, and then committed suicide for the country, and was ordered by Li Shimin to be buried.

And Xincheng has finally run out of ammunition and food, and if the fight continues, it will only eat people. Gao Yanshou is not Zhang Xun, so he led a death squad to a suicidal and tragic charge against Xue Wanche's tight army formation, and there was no further attack. up.

And the rest of those new cities surrendered to Xue Wanche, and the poor black pot king Xue Wanche was finally liberated.

The soldiers under his command wandered around the city without even finding a single mouse. They watched the other friendly troops carrying a large bag of general coupons on their backs, not to mention jealous.

At the same time, Niu Jinda finally broke through Jubacheng in Baekje, and handed over all the king and prime minister to Li Shimin, and Baekje was temporarily destroyed.

Originally, there were still more than 2 troops scattered all over Baekje, and there was still a period of time to fight, but because Qin Hao and Hei Chi had secretly communicated with the song, those scattered troops finally died in about half a month. All the time was concentrated in his hands, and he persuaded his subordinates to give up the plan of seeking revenge on Niu Jinda and attacking the Silla army in the north with an egg.

In short, Niu Jinda was ready and could go north to start a second battlefield at any time. When the news reached Li Shimin, he was naturally overjoyed.

Now, only Baiyan, Houhuang, Hengshan, and Momi are left in front of Li Shimin.

Like Xincheng, it is not a big problem to go around, but I am afraid that they will attack the grain road.

Li Shimin originally wanted to complete his work in one battle, and divided his troops into several groups to fight together. According to his estimation, it would take about seven or eight days. Although there will definitely be some casualties, it is still acceptable if Mercy does not command troops.

As a result, Ma Zhou took the initiative to invite Ying, and Feng Yan Yamen was going to attack the city.

How did Fengyan Yamen attack the city?Of course it is with the tongue.

The ethnic conflicts in the land of Liaodong have become chaotic, and they didn't deliberately besiege the city to cut off their connection with the outside world. Naturally, it is impossible for them not to be affected.

So, within a few days, under the instigation of the Tang Dynasty spies, the Han people and Fuyu people in the city broke out.

To be honest, the soldiers of several cities have long lost their fighting spirit when the battle has reached this level. Those heroes who fought against the enemy on the scorched earth are very few no matter what era or nationality they are in, otherwise how can they be heroes.

The enemy is making such a fuss at the moment, and several Han Chinese-dominated cities immediately changed their flags and went out to meet Tian Khan.

The remaining two Fuyu-dominated cities were not much better. After Li Shimin ordered the attack, he felt that the Tang army had won before it warmed up.

After that, leaving the finishing work to Xue Wanche, who has been working hard, can be regarded as rewarding him with a sip of soup.He himself led the mighty army and set off towards the Yalu River.

On the river, Qin Hao's dozen or so large boats were lined up in a neat row, ready for the saint's inspection.

This was the first time Qin Hao saw Li Shimin since he was thrown to Dengzhou.

Although he was not uncommon in Chang'an, it was the first time for this handsome man in silver shiny armor to appear in front of the ten thousand army.

Qin Hao came out alone, kneeling on one knee, thinking that his posture was very handsome. Li Shimin also drove forward alone, and asked loudly, "How is the enemy's defense line along the river now?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the defense line along the river has been abandoned by the enemy. The enemy only built a stronghold on the Changbai Mountain. I have found out that there are 130 archery towers with a height of sixteen feet. There are about 9 defenders. In front of the great Tang lions, they are all the ones who put in their bids and sell their heads."

Li Shimin asked again: "Where is Chief Niu now?"

"General Manager Niu and his 10 soldiers, and [-] Silla friendly troops, a total of [-] people are ready to go on the south bank of the Han River, and they can go straight to Huanglong and open up the second battlefield with the order of the Holy One!"

Li Shimin naturally knew these things a long time ago. The reason why he asked at this time was mainly for the soldiers of the three armies, which was a kind of encouragement.

When all the questions that should be asked were finished, Li Shimin patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said gently: "Thank you, although you have not been able to kill the enemy with perseverance in this battle, I know that most of the time you can fight like this. It is your credit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the first in this battle."

"Your Majesty is over-reputed, and I feel ashamed, and I really dare not take it."

"A good fighter has no great achievements. I, Tang Dynasty, can be counted as successors. Get up and take me aboard."

"Yes"

For the next half a day, Qin Hao has been busy transporting Li Shimin's army from one end of the Yalu River to the other. Because of Qin Hao's continuous harassment for such a long time, Goguryeo also realized that building fortifications on the Yalu River is simply not enough. possible.

In desperation, Goguryeo has given up this natural danger and built a city gate in a valley dozens of miles away from the river.

In this way, the original excellent terrain of Shanshui Xianglian was naturally greatly discounted. Although it was still difficult to fight, at least Tang Jun could deploy calmly.

This was the first time for Li Shimin to see Qin Hao's ship, and the powerful role of the navy in this battle also opened his eyes to him. He stroked the hull up and down, as if touching a charming concubine.

"This is really the most important weapon of the Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Hao naturally smiled and said a few words modestly, but Li Shimin said again: "When the imperial court's finances are more ample, and the imperial court allocates a little money, your navy will at least double. There are too many, and it is inseparable from the important weapon of your country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"But I heard that your people are invincible on the water, but they can't beat the ordinary Goguryeo defenders on the land. They missed many opportunities for nothing. How can this work? After this battle, we will send another general , don’t seek to conquer the city, at least my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can’t lose to others in this field battle.”

Qin Hao thought about it, but he only agreed first with a smile on his face.

Among them, there is no sense of decentralization.
