Chapter 547 Uncle Li Ji with a Crow's Mouth

After the sky, on the first day of June, the sixth envoy of Goguryeo rushed to the camp. Uncle Li received the envoy in the tent of the Central Army. In the past three days, Uncle Li had recovered from that excited state. He successively issued an order to Chang'an to recruit a large number of Ministry of Works and Ministry of Revenue from Chang'an. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel went to Liaodong. In addition, 30,000 elite troops were drawn from various places to guard the newly occupied land of Goguryeo. In addition, prisoners of war were urged to prepare to build a cement road from Yingzhou to Fuyu City. In addition, water stone brick and stone forts were built to wait for the people who moved north to have a place to live. Such busyness finally made Uncle Li calm down. However, his determination to settle in Liaodong and pacify Goguryeo forever.

Therefore, this time, Uncle Li did not talk nonsense with the envoy as usual, but just asked the envoy to express his intentions. Goguryeo once again stated that he was willing to pay tribute and always be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The place where the Tang Dynasty fought was returned to the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo only left a place east of Yalu Water, and lived a secret life and would not violate the dragon power of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Quangasuwen was willing to demote himself to a commoner, and Gaozang was also willing to take back the former king Gao Wu and regarded it as the supreme king.

"Is this your sincerity?" Uncle Li raised his eyebrows and sneered.

The Goguryeo envoy said: "That is, our country's lord is willing to be a friendly gang with the Tang Dynasty for generations, and always be a country with the Tang Dynasty's ministers, and will never violate the Tang Dynasty's people and land."

"It sounds pretty good, but it's a pity. I don't want to hear a word now." Uncle Li stroked his beard for a while and stepped up: "This is my last spy. Either Gao Zang surrenders the whole country and hand over Quangai Suwen, the rebellion of the king, which will be judged by our Tang Dynasty, destroy the city defense, and do not keep the army. Our Tang army will protect the border defense for you, or wait for our Tang Dynasty cavalry to step into your capital palace."

Quangai Suwen was furious and conquered the soldiers of the whole country, threatening to burn them all. Even if Goguryeo fights until the last soldier, he will never do such a loss of the country. On our side, the announcement of the seal letter from the Duke of Liao Kingdom Gao Wu filled the city east of Goguryeo Yalu River.

----------------------------------------------------

The announcement stated that the former Goguryeo King condemned Quan Gai Suwen and the new lord Gao Zang's rebellion, and announced to the people, soldiers and officials of Goguryeo that for the beautiful future of Goguryeo and the people of the Tang Dynasty to prosper and become rich together with the people of the Tang Dynasty, he had decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, let Goguryeo become a member of the Tang Dynasty, and always escape from the troubles and worries of war, and ordered all those who still regarded him as the monarch of Goguryeo to put down their weapons and peacefully welcome the Tang Dynasty's takeover.

The effect was OK. At least, the three cities along the river took the initiative to surrender, and the Tang Dynasty successfully took over the last three important towns beside the Yalu River. At this point, the last gate of Goguryeo slowly opened to the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, the Goguryeo King Gaozang and Quangasuwen were already frightened birds. Although they were clamoring on their mouths, they forced the people to join the army and ordered the Goguryeo people east of Yalu River and west of Sashui to abandon their homes and retreat. They wanted to use the method of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to make the Tang army complain, but they caused complaints from the people. Some simply took advantage of the situation to escape into the countryside. After the Tang army arrived, they began to serve as guides for the Tang army.

From this point, we can also see that the former Goguryeo king Gao Wu had a very good personality charm and a strong appeal, but he himself did not expect that Quan Gai Suwen would stab him in the back. And this time, his wife died and his son was destroyed, he had long forgotten the others, and he only wanted Quan Gai Suwen's head to worship his family who had been scribbled by Quan Gai Suwen.

Within a month, more than ten cities were taken and more than 100,000 Goguryeo soldiers and civilians were captured. Uncle Li had already considered the long-term stability in the future, changed his strategy, and gave food to the people in the city, and gave brocade and silk to the age of 80 and let them go. Uncle Li's approach made ordinary people in Goguryeo feel the name of Uncle Li's benevolence. Thousands of Goguryeo soldiers even took the initiative to join the Tang army to serve, and overthrow Quangai Suwen, the source of Goguryeo's chaos. Uncle Li politely refused. Uncle Li told them to let them return to their hometown and tell their fellow villagers and friends that the Tang Dynasty brought them peace and prosperity, and that all Goguryeo people came together with the Tang Dynasty, without worrying that the Tang Dynasty would enslave anyone. In the future, they would be equal to the Tang Dynasty...

Blow and blow hard, my troops began to play a huge role at this time. These people were all military intellectuals of the Tang Dynasty who grew up under the teaching of brainwashing and cramming. They instilled into the prisoners of war what I had instilled in them.

Thoughts and thoughts have made more and more people gradually move towards the Tang Dynasty. At least, most of the occupied Goguryeo people no longer make futile resistance, but instead wait and see with a stance of believing and doubting.

This made our work more efficiently. Uncle Li was very satisfied with our actions. Uncle Li's desire for new land has exceeded everything else. In order to accelerate the stability and tranquility of the occupied areas, and to occupy the land east of Yalu River and west of Sashui more quickly, we broke up the troops of our Tang Military Academy and divided them into three parts.

One third of them was led by Xi Junsai, and followed Li Daozong to capture another city. The other third was led by Duan Yunsong, who was the old man who loved to show off, and our team naturally left me to lead. Half a dozen youth versions of Uncle Cheng were thrown to Xi Junsai and Duan Yunsong, and they were divided equally by three on one side. In my hands, only Li Yexu, Li Jingye and Xue Rengui were relatively honest and obedient. The artillery regiment was also divided into three. I personally took one third of the remaining artillery regiment. Anyway, these thirty artillery can be enough to blow any city through the gap.

After fighting separately, the occupation speed increased. Uncle Li led 37,000 troops to the south along the Yalu River, and attacked along the coast. With the help of tens of thousands of navy troops, he attacked the city and drove past the village. Li Daozong, a famous prince general, commanded 24,000 troops, and 20,000 Hu cavalry, and went north. He wanted to pull out the last stronghold of Goguryeo on the Yalu River: the domestic city.

As for our journey, there are the smallest people, with a total of more than 13,000 infantry and cavalry of Uncle Li Ji, and more than 8,000 elite cavalry of Brother Su Mingzheng. Finally, there are one-third of the troops and four thousand people from the Tang Military Academy.

At first, Uncle Li was preparing to transfer 5,000 cavalry under his command on the grounds that the number of soldiers in the middle was too small.

"No, Li Ji's dear, I believe you, but I believe in you. The number of soldiers you have led is too small. Don't forget that there are all Goguryeo's army. According to the surrendered generals, there are tens of thousands of troops in the Guannu tribe in the southern part of Goguryeo, and there are tens of thousands of troops eyeing the side. If not, I am really worried about you. Why not like this? I will allocate five thousand elite cavalry from our army to you..." Uncle Li said sincerely.

Uncle Li Ji shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, I have few soldiers but I am good at it. Goguryeo's military strength has long been completely lost. If I have obtained more soldiers, I am afraid that Gao Huizhen will not be able to be attracted. I am not afraid that he will not come out, but I am afraid that he will not come out. If he does not come out, my army will have to worry about it. The land I occupy needs to be divided into a large number of troops to guard. I am confident that with the soldiers under my command, I will definitely be able to take Gao Huizhen's head to Your Majesty."

----------------------------------------------------

I have to say that what Uncle Li Ji said makes sense. In addition, Uncle Li Ji rarely loses. Under his strong request, Uncle Li made such a distributor, but I never thought that Uncle Li Ji was really a natural crow mouth. His promise was not effective, he was bad, and he was extremely effective.

On the seventh day of division of troops, when we were attacking the third city Changsheng City we encountered, Uncle Li Ji's crow prophecy was fulfilled. The local snake on this territory, the Guannu tribe in southern Goguryeo, all of its troops were raised and rushed towards us with murderous intent. Moreover, the force was not the 50,000 we imagined, but the 80,000 army.

The Guannu tribe in southern Goguryeo was 58,000 Goguryeo infantry and cavalry, and the Tang military groups, which were relatively weak in the Marine Cavalry, were wiped out in one fell swoop.

And we have divided more than 2,000 people from the city and prisoners of war that were left to defend and attacked. At present, in addition to Uncle Li Ji's central army of more than 10,000 and Su Dingfang's 8,000 elite cavalry, there are one-third of the Tang Military Academy, 4,000. A total of only 22,000 people.
