Eight hundred and ninety-nine prelude to the end
Looking at the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula from the map, it is like two arms forming a circle, wrapping the Yellow Sea in the circle, making that area of sea become China's inland sea, not only having a good protective effect in military terms, but also having a great economic promotion effect. Although there is no modern significance to capture the Liaodong Peninsula here at this time, it is still very beneficial to attack Goguryeo to completely destroy it.
The capture of the Liaodong Peninsula is equivalent to cutting off one of Goguryeo's arm. The attack on Goguryeo generals is not just the land route of Liaodong, but another land route. Moreover, the original time and space blocked the army of His Majesty Li Er in Anshicheng. If the Liaodong Peninsula is obtained, then Anshicheng will lose most of the blocking effect for the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses. The Tang Dynasty soldiers can bypass Anshicheng and directly attack the inland areas.
For Goguryeo, the Liaodong Peninsula is not only one-third of their territory, but also a very important area. Unfortunately, they have never managed the Liaodong Peninsula well, but have worked hard to manage the Great Wall defense line, which has not much population or development on the Liaodong Peninsula. The further south, the less people are seen. Suning likes such a primitive area, which can develop and operate better.
He ordered an army to fight south, joined forces with part of the navy to take down all the territory in the south, and then the main force continued to advance north, chasing Goguryeo's defeated troops while conquering the entire Liaodong Peninsula. The powerful navy headed north along the seaside to help the army conquer the Liaodong Peninsula.
After Jiang Yishi's army was defeated, there was no army on the Liaodong Peninsula that could stop the Tang Dynasty's troops from attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, or in other words, there was no army on the entire Goguryeo that could prevent the Tang Dynasty's troops from attacking the Liaodong Peninsula. Quangasuwen was not good either, because Quangasuwen had already known that the 130,000 Northern Expedition Army in Silla had broken through the southern border guards and directly took the land of Goguryeo, which made Quangasuwen, who was far north of the Datong River, also felt it was quite difficult.
Qin Qiong's army still didn't know whether it was pursuing or how the battle was. It was still unknown. Jiang Yishi led his troops to pursue Suning, and he didn't know what the battle was. Gao Jianwu was alive or dead, was rescued or not rescued. Quan Gai Suwen originally planned to lead his army to ambush Jiang Yishi, but after two days of dispatch, he learned that the Silla army was invincible all the way towards the north. In helplessness, Quan Gai Suwen could only send the 30,000 troops used to ambush Jiang Yishi to the south to defend against the Silla people, and he could only plan to use a trick to kill Jiang Yishi.
There is no way, killing Jiang Yishi is important, but if the Sillas succeed, Goguryeo will be disgraceful, what is the point of becoming the King of Goguryeo? To preserve the territory is the most important thing. Quangasuwen was also very annoyed. Jiang Yishi was so capable of fighting, why was his son so cowardly! He was actually killed by the Sillas, and the deputy general was also killed. The entire border guard army was wiped out, and other sporadic troops were defeated thousands of miles away. There was no army south of the Datong River to compete with the Sillas.
For the current plan, he had to fight to the death to defend the Datong River defense line and then raise his scruples. After all, the army in his hands was extremely limited. He has been constantly gathering out defeated soldiers from all over the country these days, and forced the enlistment of strong men to train, barely gathering 80,000 troops. However, the 80,000 troops were still a drop in the bucket in the entire battle situation. He really needed Jiang Yishi's 100,000 troops that originally belonged to him to help him stabilize the situation, regardless of whether Gao Jianwu was rescued or not.
When it was late at night, he was also thinking, was his luck really over, Goguryeo's national fortune had come to an end, and the situation so good in the last battle was over, and now he ended up like this. He not only lost his troops, but also his territory, his family, his wealth, and his rich territory south of the Datong River. All the people were cheaper than the Sillas. The territory of the Tang Kingdom captured was not a rich place, and it was not a pity to lose it, but the local area could not be lost!
However, it is unlikely that Quan Gai Suwen will lead troops to fight against the Silla people now. The situation is already quite chaotic. I don’t know if it is any news left by Jiang Yishi. Many refugees and defeated soldiers from all directions gathered towards Anshicheng. It is said that there is food and troops here to protect them, but Quan Gai Suwen himself is also in a difficult situation. He has done his best to ensure that the attack of 80,000 troops will last for up to two months. What can I do if there are more people?
Now Quan Gai Suwen constantly draws elite troops and food from the Great Wall defense line in the north to gather in Anshicheng, intending to reduce the defense line and concentrate elite troops to fight the enemy, and spend this most difficult period. Moreover, the refugees only recruited young and middle-aged men and some strong women, and did not want any of the rest, and rushed to other places, but where is the "other place"?
There were refugees everywhere, and there were chaos everywhere. The south was beaten by the Silla people. People south of the Datong River fled north of the Datong River, and many refugees also rushed over to the Liaodong Peninsula. They asked them how they learned about Anshicheng. They said that it was told by the veteran General Jiang Yishi that they asked them to come here to seek protection, and that General Yang Wanchun should try his best to solve their livelihood problems.
Quan Gai Suwen smiled bitterly, and cursed Jiang Yishi to die quickly. He did not forget to cause trouble for himself when he died. In a helpless manner, Quan Gai Suwen expanded the number of refugees in his military farmland, and then took back all the military farmland soldiers from the military farmlands and joined the combat troops to further expand the army. The military farmlands were handed over to the refugees for supervision. At the same time, when the elite soldiers in the Great Wall were drawn back, they sent the refugees to the north.
There is no food in the north, and those men, women, young and old can only die if they pass by. The elite soldiers and grain are concentrated in Anshi City. At least, it is guaranteed that Quangai Suwen has absolute army and grain to integrate the forces first and become the largest force and the strongest military group. Before the Tang army came here, they integrated the surrounding areas and prepared to resist the Tang army. As soon as Jiang Yishi came back, he killed Jiang Yishi and confiscated his army. At that time, he had the strength to deal with the Silla people and others.
This is the bad idea that Mr. Li gave to Quan Gai Suwen. Although it was a bad idea, it was the only idea at present. If everyone accepted it, the grain in Anshicheng would be consumed soon. Don’t wait for the Tang army to come. Before the Tang army came, the people here would start fighting for food and be defeated without fighting. First, ensure the amount of food. If there is not enough food, it would be a waste of anything to talk about.
Some people saw the clues and felt that the Great Wall in the north was definitely not going to live, and they were unwilling to go and wanted to stay in Anshicheng. Quangai Suwen finally lost his patience and ordered his personal guards to shoot arrows and kill hundreds of people who were leading the trouble. In the end, a large group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who were crying and depressed were forced to go to the north. Young and middle-aged men were left behind, and the survival rate of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled refugee team was further reduced.
Of course, there is also a small episode here. About 30% of the refugee troops accepted the idea of one of them. This person felt that instead of going to the north to die, it would be better to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go south, travel across the Datong River, and go to Silla. Silla has developed well in recent years, and has defeated Goguryeo so miserably. There must be food for food. The indigenous people south of the Datong River have all run to the north, so there must be a shortage of people in the south. The Silla people also need population to develop and build land, so they can become these useful people, thereby obtaining food and survival.
When people are desperate, they can do anything, especially rulers who give up their own people are more likely to be abandoned. In the choice between life and death, not so many people who understand the righteousness will choose to martyrize a country that abandons themselves. They want to live more because before the national identity, they are first and foremost human beings.
Thirty percent of people are willing to follow the guy who suddenly had a whim to try their luck in the south. Anyway, they will die from the north. There is still hope of survival in the south. Why not try it? From the first few people to the tens of thousands of people later, and then to the later one hundred thousand people gathered all the way to the south to Silla. The guy who took the lead first was Choi In-soo, and later he was considered a legend...
They were also lucky. Silla needed to capture land, but people needed to develop local land. Those abandoned by Goguryeo happened to be suitable for such an identity. Therefore, the Silla people accepted this group of Goguryeo refugees. So, as Choi In-soo said, most of the people who went to the north died there, not killed by the Tang people, but starved to death and frozen to death.
There was a lot of food and food. The Tang army did not kill them, but there was no food to help them. So in the cold days, they killed each other, took dead bodies as food, and even fed each other. In the end, Changsun Wuji, who was sent to the army, reported the situation here to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er was deeply shocked and ordered the allocation of some military food and grass to help these refugees, and then transported a batch of grain and seed grain from the Beiping granary, which stabilized the situation.
Suning, who had never imagined Yizi's vegetation, finally saw what Yizi's vegetation was at that time.
However, the people who followed Choi Insoo in the south survived, and to the end, Choi Insoo was also named an official for his contributions and lived a very comfortable life.
Although Quan Gai Suwen's move was cruel, it also stabilized the precarious situation in Anshicheng, and did not let the last military city Anshicheng be destroyed by refugees, which gave Quan Gai Suwen the last struggle. After that, Quan Gai Suwen expanded 20,000 people to join the army, and finally gathered an army of 100,000 people, and added 20,000 troops to the army in the south to fight against Silla. However, what is the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 people, Quan Gai Suwen actually had some thoughts in his mind.
But at this time, it is too late to train troops, and it is very unrealistic. What is the difference between training troops and seeking death at this time? It is better to use the battlefield as the best place to train troops to gain enough combat power. Surviving soldiers will become elite soldiers and can fight against the Tang army. If you die, die. Keeping useless soldiers is just a waste of food.
Just a month ago, Quan Gai Suwen would never have thought that he would fall to this point now, but the world changed, and all this came too quickly, almost making him unable to react. Sometimes when he dreamed at midnight, he still felt in a daze that he was still the head of the Mo Lizhi family, extremely prominent and possessed absolute power and wealth. However, after waking up, he found that he was still the down-and-out person who had lost his family and most of his power.
He began to miss Gao Jianwu a little. Really, he swears that he really began to miss Gao Jianwu. Although Gao Jianwu was a little disgusted and cowardly, he would give himself enough power to enjoy the taste of power. Once he lost this taste and a stable life, Quan Gai Suwen realized that he might not be ready to become a hero.
