"The Silla people have changed commander again? Is this the third one? I really don't know how to evaluate them." Zhang Shigui threw the information aside and shook his head helplessly: "I really didn't expect that the Silla people are so incompetent. Faced with an opportunity of civil strife like Goguryeo, more than 100,000 soldiers could not eat Yoon Gaisuwen. It was really incompetent! If I were handed over to me, why would I need 100,000? Only 50,000 elite soldiers would I be able to eat the entire Goguryeo!"

Zhang Liang curled his lips disdainfully: "I really think that Silla people can make a name for themselves. Song Qian looks like a very capable commander, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this. The commander of a 100,000 army died and was still killed by a disadvantaged enemy. It's really a ridiculous laughter for the people of the world!"

Suning finally said some fair words: "You can't say that. Song Qian is definitely much more talented than his ex. His ex is a master who can't defeat the border without the advice of the Tang Dynasty. He finally took advantage of the opportunity I left to take advantage of the loopholes. He was blocked by a Datong River and was even blocked by Yuan Gai Suwen. He lost his life, but he lost more than half of the army of more than 100,000. That is a real mediocre talent. Song Qian is different.

Although he failed to attack Anshicheng and died, he finally destroyed 60,000 to 70,000 people from the entire southern army of Yuan Gaisuwen. Although the Silla army was only a second-rate army, Song Qian was definitely a first-class commander. If he could pay more attention to his safety, he might be able to fight Yuan Gaisuwen. Unfortunately, he died too early, it was a pity. All his previous advantages would be abandoned."

Zhang Shigui had to nod, "Song Qian is indeed a character, but why did Kim Yu-shin get the position of commander of the three armies? Even if he is from the Silla royal family, the queen is not a nepotist, and she is a little capable. Moreover, Kim Yu-shin is only over thirty years old and is still a very young person with almost no achievements."

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What can Silla's small country do to make? But I should prepare for it. Staying here is not a good thing. I should always find a way to do something. Although there is a lack of military strength, I am not completely ineffective. I will not be satisfied just by conquering the Liaodong Peninsula. The four counties of Han are my hometown of China in the Central Plains and must be taken back!"

Suning nodded and said, "The collection must be taken back, and even the land of Goguryeo Silla and Baekje must be taken down. Then it is used as a springboard and a logistics base to advance to Japan. However, it requires careful calculations to recover. At present, the entire Liaodong army is only about 50,000 to 60,000, and a navy of 30,000 people is included. It is not easy for Yigong and others to hug Yingzhou. It is also the limit for us to occupy the Liaodong Peninsula. If we want to send troops again, it is definitely not an easy task.

Your Majesty has no wealth of troops. The 200,000 troops in the Northern Expedition of the Grassland has not ended yet. It is precisely because the great and abundant grasslands are definitely not below Liaodong. If you have the grasslands, then our Tang Dynasty will no longer lack meat and war horses. The benefits are too great for our Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, the northern border troubles have never been cut off. Your Majesty is determined to end the northern border troubles, so he attacked the grassland with twice the troops and horses of Emperor Wu of Han. At the critical moment, we must not do anything wrong.

If you have any ideas, you must wait until the overall situation of the grassland is settled and the army begins to return to defense. What's more, if our Tang Dynasty takes down the grassland, it will definitely require a large number of cavalry and mainland people to enter the grassland to really take it in their hands. There are still many things. Now the 800,000 troops of our Tang Dynasty are no longer enough to bear the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty. At least 200,000 troops will be expanded. These 200,000 are basically the standing army, so at least you have to wait until the standing army enters the grassland before you can withdraw your troops back to help Liaodong.

At that time, it would take about 100,000 troops to capture the entire Peninsula Three Kingdoms land. This is not a difficult task. As long as we stabilize the occupation and stabilize the peninsula, we don’t need to consider other things at all. It is great that the Sillas are willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition to bear the pressure on us. Therefore, the two generals should be careful and not be impulsive."

Zhang Shigui nodded in understanding. Although Zhang Liang was reluctant, he had to admit that what Suning said was indeed correct. From 400,000 troops in the fourth year of Zhenguan to 800,000 troops in the tenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty doubled its expansion in these six years, all in order to adapt to the security of the recently occupied vast territory. Once the grassland is captured, such a large area will require at least 200,000 troops to satisfy such a negative situation.

Even if Liaodong has captured a vast territory, there are only so many soldiers and horses, and they cannot draw more soldiers to guard the area. Therefore, it is not a good time to advance, but Zhang Liang obviously would not give up: "Although that is the case, I admit it, but whether the Silla people can restrain the Goguryeo people before our army arrives is still unknown? What does the Silla people mean to get a little baby to command the troops?!"

Suning shook his head and said seriously: "Don't underestimate Kim Yu-shin. As for the information collected by the Zongheng Ministry, Kim Yu-shin is definitely not an ordinary person. He was a general of Hualangdao in Silla at the age of fifteen, and a national immortal at the age of eighteen. He is one of the top brave and war-friendly people in Silla. He has also been familiar with military books since childhood, is well versed in military tactics, and is talented. When he was very young, he was highly valued by the King of Silla. He is also noble in his bloodline and is even more proud of the son of heaven.

This time, King Silla Sundeok appointed this person as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army. It was obviously not a sudden illness and indiscriminate attempt to seek medical treatment, but a careful consideration. Judging from the previous two times, it was obvious that Song Qian was far stronger than the first one. So why can't we think that Kim Yu-shin is very likely to be far stronger than Song Qian? Song Qian is already a good commander, and Kim Yu-shin is more worthy of attention. We must not underestimate this person, we should continue to pay attention to this person."

Zhang Shigui expressed his agreement: "Although Silla is a small country, we cannot take it lightly. The country's military strength is about 250,000, which is definitely not an easy opponent. This time, let's see what kind of person Kim Yu-shin is. Then make a decision. At present, Yoon Gaisu-wen has suffered heavy losses, but the other local officials have not received any benefits. Song Qian was still very capable before and beat the Goguryeo people very badly. Next, it is estimated that the situation will be beneficial to the Silla people."

Suning analyzed: "I think that Yoon Gaisuwen is very likely to join forces with the remaining local officials to organize the Datong River defense line to fight against the Silla people. He always fights with the Silla people and kills them. I guess he is very unhappy, and the Silla people are not only attacking him, but are aimed at destroying Goguryeo. From this point of view, no matter how you say it, the Silla people are also the common enemy of the now chaotic Goguryeo."

Just as Suning's speculation, Suwen Quan Gai Suwen was really very unhappy. After three consecutive times, he and the Silla people fought to death. Half of the troops were drawn to defend against the Silla people, and others did not care about it and fought with him with all their might, not taking the threat of the Silla people seriously. As a result, this time I heard that local powerhouses in the East were also severely damaged. Many people were killed by the Silla people, and their strength was further damaged. Fortunately, the number of powerful people was small, and the remaining powerhouses became more refined.

So Quangasuwen once again conveyed the message to the powerful Eastern factions as Mo Lizhi, telling them that the Sillas were reorganizing 100,000 troops and preparing to go north to destroy Goguryeo. Now Goguryeo has lost all the territory south of the Datong River and has lost too much territory. Therefore, there is no way out to retreat. We are killing each other, but the Sillas have taken advantage of many loopholes. So in order not to let the Sillas succeed, Quangasuwen made an initiative.

All the troops that we confronted us retreated, all the military camps that confronted us were all withdrawn, and the army retreated into the cities of both sides. We were no longer hostile, but formed the Goguryeo coalition to fight against the upcoming attacks of the Silla people, strive to kill all the Silla people, fight back to the south of the Datong River, and then talk about something else, killing the common enemies and killing each other again, which must be excellent.

The proposal of Kitamisuwen no longer uses an orderly tone, but a controversial tone, which makes the powerful Eastern parties feel a little satisfied. In fact, they also suffer heavy losses. If they continue to attack Kitamisuwen, they will collapse one day. If they do not try to recover during the battle against Silla, it is very likely that the Silla people will not need to attack, and Goguryeo will die on their own. At least a few months ago, everyone was still an official in the same dynasty. Now, although they are fighting each other, they are still a member of the same country.

Not to mention that they also felt the hostility from Silla. They had experienced the cunning and good fighting of the Silla people decades ago. They lost the affiliated areas of the Han River Basin and now they lost the south of the Datong River. If they continued to kill each other, the Silla people would really destroy the country of Goguryeo. Although they had great hatred for each other, in the face of the Silla people, everyone was Goguryeo.

In this way, a loose Goguryeo coalition was established. In order to make up for the mutual distrust between the two sides, Quangasuwen suggested that the defense zones of both sides be truly divided, Quangasuwen concentrated all efforts to deal with the western defense line, and the eastern defense line was handed over to the powerful alliance of the eastern part. Both sides dispatched their troops to work together to ensure that the Silla people would not cross the Datong River to land on the shore.

Of course, the abnormal behavior of the Goguryeo people cannot be hidden from the Silla people. Kim Yu-sun, the third head coach of the Silla Northern Expedition Army, was the first to learn about the actions of the Goguryeo people. In response, he smiled slightly: "The Goguryeo people are not idiots. They know that our army is about to fight the Northern Expedition, so they form an alliance or reach some kind of agreement to cooperate with each other to fight our army. This is normal. If the Goguryeo people still have to kill each other at this time, then for us, the Goguryeo people are not a qualified opponent.

But even though that is the case, I still hope to see them kill each other. If we don’t have such an opportunity and do our best to deal with the so-called national crisis, it is definitely not a good thing for our army. General Song has a good opportunity, a good opportunity, and a good luck, but died in the city of Anshi. In order to make up for this pity, I think we can take some special measures. After all, if they really unite to deal with it with it with all their strength, it will be detrimental to us."

Kim Yu-shin's approach and ideas are correct. Now he only has 100,000 troops, while the combined strength of Quangai Su-wen and the powerful coalition forces in the eastern region far exceeds his total strength. Although the conscription method that almost exhausted the lake and fished was endless, it seems helpless now. In any case, the Goguryeo's defensive corps now has a total of 200,000 troops, which is twice that of Silla. However, all the Goguryeo leaders knew very well what the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 troops was.

Otherwise, they would have sent troops to cross the Datong River south to recover their hometown.

In short, we must not let these people think we have other ideas... Kim Yu-shin thought so... There is no navy in Goguryeo, but I, Silla, still have a navy in it. This navy can bring us many conveniences. Why bother to follow the Datong River? It's not just that path! (To be continued...)
