Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 796
Li You could see through Li Zhi's thoughts at a glance. Don't look at Li Zhi as cowardly and incompetent, but Li Zhi in his bones has great ambitions that belong to him.

Li Zhi's weakness is also helpless. He has too many powerful ministers under him. Changsun Wuji is a member of the Guanlong Group. The power of this group should not be underestimated.

The establishment of the Tang and Sui dynasties has a lot to do with the Guanlong Group.As Changsun Wuji became more and more authoritarian, Li Zhi became dissatisfied.Wu Zetian's background gave Li Zhi hope. At the request of Li Zhi's queen, Wang, Wu Zetian entered the harem.From then on, Wu Zetian began to rise continuously, and finally became the queen of Li Zhi.

This is not dependence, this is a typical example of borrowing strength to fight. The Guanlong Group headed by Changsun Wuji has continued to expand in power, so problems have arisen.In order to counter the Guanlong Group, Li Zhi thought of Li Ji. This person represented the military power of the military, and the other was Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was born in an ordinary family, and she represented the poor family group at that time.Wu Zetian's political vision is still very strong. When she was Zhaoyi, Wu Zetian advised Li Zhi.

From this point of view, Wu Zetian was appreciated by Li Zhi, otherwise Wu Zetian would not have been allowed to enter the harem.In the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Zhi finally couldn't help it.Li Zhi said that the king and queen practiced the technique of being tired of victory in the harem, and that the king and queen had no children, so he proposed "abolishing the king and establishing martial arts".It is to make Wu Zetian the queen.So Wu Zetian became the queen. Under such circumstances, Li Zhi wanted to regain power in the hands of his uncle.

Later, Li Zhi demoted the prince Li Zhong to be the king of Liang, and changed Wu Zetian's son Li Hong to be the new prince.After Wu Zetian became a queen, her desire for power continued to rise.At this time, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi governed the imperial court in the same dynasty. Wu Zetian and Li Zhi called themselves "Emperor" and "Queen of Heaven" together, and the two saints came to the court.Wu Zetian and Li Zhi governed the government together.

Under such circumstances, Li Zhi became restless.Li Zhi and Wu Zetian conspired together to demote Chu Suiliang to Aizhou and die in office.In the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Zhi exiled Changsun Wuji on the pretext of treason, and Changsun Wuji hanged himself to death.Then his family was also implicated.

Now it seems that Li Zhi made Wu Zetian the queen in order to bring down Changsun Wuji.In the end, Li Zhi won, won Changsun Wuji, defeated Guanlong Group, won Jiangshan, and won real power.

What is this? This is the emperor's mind. The only regret is that Li Zhi still underestimated Wu Zetian. This woman is too ruthless. Li Zhi never thought that this Wu Zetian actually wanted to be the emperor.

So Li Zhi wiped out Changsun Wuji with all his might, and then he lost his stick, so that his balance was lost. In addition, Li Zhi's health was not good, so he could only watch Wu Zetian grow bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, Li You appeared in this time and space. Li Zhi put his focus on Li You. Yu's trust is higher than anyone else's.

Because in Li Zhi's view, even if Li You has the heart to become an emperor, there is no problem, because Li You's surname is Li!

Knowing that Li You saw his thoughts, Li Zhi didn't hide anything but just smiled: "Fifth brother help me.!"

A blatant request is like a younger brother asking his elder brother for candy without any scruples. The younger brother believes that his elder brother will definitely give him the best. This is the purest family affection.

Looking at Li Zhi, Li You also laughed: "Of course I will help you, but you have to tell me your plan, and let General Su and General Xue listen to it together. If it is feasible, then I will support it."

"Okay!" Having received Li You's promise to rectify his name, Li Zhi on the side also laughed and said hastily: "Fifth brother. It's very simple. I want to gather a large number of troops to change the long-term unstable situation in the Northeast in one fell swoop. General Su Dingfang was the general in charge of the Shenqiu Dao march. He led General Liu Boying of the Zuo Xiaowei, Feng Shigui of the Right Wuwei, and Pang Xiaogong of the Zuo Xiaowei General, commanding 13 troops.

At the same time, Jin Chunqiu, the king of Xinluo, was the general manager of the Yiyi Road march, and joined his national soldiers with him.Su Dingfang led the army from the mountains of the city to the sea to the island of Dewu in the west of the country.The king of Silla sent his general, Kim Yu-shin, with [-] elite soldiers to go there."

Use the two-way attack method to subdue Baekje and Goguryeo with all your strength.

As long as the itching is relieved, Baekje and Silla can be integrated into a unified war zone, and our Datang can save a lot of things. Secondly, I also ask General Xue to lead [-] troops to deter Goguryeo. Fifth brother, you can bring yourself The navy deters the Japanese country.

After General Su's army swept Baekje, they joined forces with General Xue's [-] troops to sweep Goguryeo! "

"You have a plan and a strategy. Then I wish you a helping hand!" Li You laughed.

Then, in May of the fifth year of Xianqing, Silla King Kim Chunchu personally led his troops out of the capital (now Gyeongju, South Korea), and arrived at a place tens of kilometers east of today's Incheon in June, waiting for the Tang army to send troops from Shandong Peninsula Landing on the Korean Peninsula, the fighters are ready, and the two armies will launch a joint military operation to defeat Baekje in one fell swoop.

And Su Dingfang is also very fast. In late June, he arrived near today's Incheon, and agreed with Silla Prince Kim Famin: The central army of the Tang Dynasty will be by sea, and the Silla local army will be by land. They will meet in the south of Baekje on July 6 and besiege Sabi City, the capital of Baekje King.

13 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty and 18 soldiers from Silla, a total of [-] troops.

Facing the 18 Tang and Luo coalition forces, the panic-stricken Baekje royal court organized forces to block with infantry at the mouth of Baijiang River and Shen Xian (southwest of Daejeon City, South Korea today).

However, the king of Baekje still underestimated the strength of the Tang army. Facing the sniper attack from Baekje, Su Dingfang deployed two troops from the Tang army and successfully defeated the leading Baekje blocking troops who came to block the attack. Dozens of miles away from Biecheng, the main force of the Baekje Kingdom competed, and the Tang army broke through the enemy's formation.

As the Xinluo army was blocked for a time, the meeting time of the Tangluo army was two days later than the scheduled time, and Su Dingfang was furious.However, this small historical detail did not affect the entire war process. After the Tang and Luo coalition forces assembled, they began to deploy positions to encircle Sibi.

On the next day, on July 7, the Baekje king Fuyu Yi Ciqidu, who had seized a large area of ​​territory west of the Nakdong River from Silla, fled by night and fled to Woongjin, another important city.Fu Yutai, the prince who stayed in Sibi City, took the opportunity to proclaim himself king.

Fuyu Wensi, the son of Prince Long, was still in the city. He was afraid that Fuyutai would kill him, so after some careful consideration, he took the lead in surrendering the city to the Tang army.The city was surrounded by heavy troops, and Fuyu Wensi's surrender behavior instantly caused a domino effect, and many military and political officials from Baekje came out of the city to ask for surrender.

Su Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of the Tang and Luo coalition forces, is not only a prosperous and resourceful general, but also resourceful. Through fierce and effective political offensives, he successfully mobilized the soldiers in the city. There is not a single soldier of the Tang army in the city, but there is a huge giant flying in the wind on the top of the city. Don banner.

The will of the recalcitrant forces in the city with Fuyutai as the core was completely disintegrated, the gate of Sibi city was opened, and the officials of Fuyutai asked to surrender, and Sibi city fell.The capital fell, and Baekje was nominally subjugated.
