889 The founding king is now just a general of a hundred ships
After dispatching the boat troops to pick up the Khitan cavalry across the river, the navy was temporarily dispatched to Danluo Island to station. Li Tianqu handled state affairs as usual, and drank tea with civil officials in his spare time to talk about current affairs, or discussed martial arts with military generals... he waited very comfortably for the war reports from the Khitan and Mozhen Kingdom.
The Khitan cavalry broke into the territory of Mozhen Kingdom and showed fierce aggressiveness. The defenders of Mozhen Kingdom were defeated step by step, defeated the four counties in a row, and defeated them all the way, and directly killed them to the throne. The Tang Dynasty sent Su Dingfang, Qibi Heli, Xiao Siye and other generals to separate water and land, leading their troops to attack the Wujiang River Basin that Goguryeo (the Datong River in North Korea later generations).
However, although the Khitan army was advancing rapidly at first, the terrain of the Korean Peninsula was high in the north and low in the south, and the mountainous area accounted for about two-thirds. As the cavalry-based troops advanced to the Wujiang River, the maneuverability of the cavalry was blocked by the mountainous situation, and the maneuverability of the cavalry was inevitably discounted.
Mozhen Kingdom came to his senses and immediately began to dispatch troops to launch a counterattack. Although Silla and the latter Baekje were not nomadic peoples who grew up on horseback, they were also famous for their good shooting. They fought on the local area and were even better than forest blocking. The Khitan offensive was frustrated, and after several ambushings, they suffered a great defeat, and lost nearly 10,000 troops in total.
After hearing the news, Li Tianqu thought that the Mozhen Kingdom was just a third of the peninsula, and its national strength was not as strong as a vassal state in the Central Plains. However, at least against Silla and Hou Baekje, it was even more difficult to scattered tribes in the north. Although the Khitan conquered the tribes such as the Xiaohuangshi Wei, Yuewu, Wugu, and Liuxi, it is reasonable to take Mozhen Kingdom as an enemy and suffer some losses.
However, after a while of delay, the Khitan side had to add generals and troops, so they rushed through the Maritime Bureau officials in Haizhen, Liaodong, and reported by sea to the Wei Dynasty again requested the Wei Dynasty to send a boat army to support the second group of troops crossing the river and entering the Mozhen Kingdom.
Li Tianqu could probably understand Yelu Abaoji's thoughts. He had not long since he eliminated the leaders of other tribes of the Khitan and had to establish his prestige. After all, the reason why he was able to be the military leader who held the power of the alliance back then was entirely due to his military achievements in expanding territory;
Later Xing's army went south, but was defeated by the Emperor Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty with few defeats and was defeated. The internal opposition forces quickly emerged, intending to overthrow Yelu Abaoji's rule... The situation has just stabilized, and he must win this battle. Moreover, Yelu Abaoji is also a hero after all, and his current idea should be:
Even if I was defeated by Li Cunxu, the Khitan still ended up fighting against Shatuo, Hedong... But I can't beat you three Koreans!?
The more you fight, the more fierce you become, I am of course happy to see it happening... Li Tianqu then agreed happily and issued an edict to order the boat troops stationed on Danluo Island to rush to the coastal areas of Liaodong again. However, this time, what was somewhat beyond Li Tianqu's expectations was that the Wei Dynasty naval army was blocked this time and also paid a certain price for casualties.
Because this time, Mozhen Kingdom came prepared and dispatched a fleet of more than ten large ships, more than 170 small warships, and more than 5,000 sailors. The one who commanded this fleet was Wang Jian, the general of the head of the Mozhen Kingdom, named "General of the Hundred Ships".
When the civil officials and military generals of the Wei Dynasty heard this name, their first impression was that they were the Mozhen people, who had the same name and surname as the Shu emperor Jian who had passed away... Li Tianqu knew very well that this person had another identity in the official history, which was the founding king of the Goryeo Dynasty, which roughly completed the unification of the Korean Peninsula after the Silla Dynasty.
After all, it is impossible to communicate in time in a long-distance manner at this time. When the two armies at sea fought and the battle reports came to Bianjing again, Li Tianqu not only learned that Wang Jian had fought with his forces, but also learned that the three boat troops of the Wei Dynasty lost about 20%, while the navy commanded by Wang Jian lost nearly 40%. In the end, the Wei Dynasty boat troops broke through the siege and blocked the north and continued to march towards the eastern coastal areas of Liaodong.
The current Wang Jian is the General of the Hundred Ships. With this title, it can only scare Silla on the Korean Peninsula, and then Baekje... Li Tianqu sneered and issued an order to mobilize two boat troops in the northern part of the Wei Dynasty. In addition, Silla and Baekje, who were seized by Wang Jian, were used to being bullied before. Now that he has a great power to rely on, he will be willing to fight together as a partial division.
If Wang Jian dares to go out to sea to harass him, he will face the attack of several naval armies. His hundreds of ships were afraid that it would be difficult to protect themselves, so how could he stop the Wei Chaozhou Zhoushi from communicating and transporting?
When 20,000 Khitan troops crossed the river and met with the troops entering the country, they immediately defeated 30,000 Mozhen's army at the foot of Longyue Mountain. After all, this time the Khitan side dispatched the confidant Xiao Dilu, and Xiao Agu, who was forced to retreat and defeat during the war south, shot the head of Li Sizhao, a famous general of the Later Tang Dynasty... They were not only ranked 21 heroes, but were compared by Yelu Abaoji as my hands and ears, but also represented the level of the top generals of the Khitan during this period.
The defense line that Mozhen Kingdom stopped collapsed quickly. After all, the Khitan was also a nation that came out of the Daxinganling Mountains. Not only were they good at nomadic hunting, but there were also many warriors who were good at crossing the mountain. Xiao Dilu was personally dispatched and commanded by Xiao Agu, who only led the troops forward, shot and killed several enemy generals, and directly passed through the Wujiang River and Longyue Mountain, and continued to invade the south.
As the ancient capital on the Korean Peninsula, Pyongyang established the Andong Protectorate here during the Tang Dynasty, but then it turned against Silla and was abandoned for many years of war. Although the foundation remains, it is already full of thorns. In the official history, it will have to wait until the Goryeo period can be built and rebuilt.
However, as a key military gang on the Korean Peninsula, Xiao Dilu and Xiao Agu only used their troops to kill here, which also means that it is enough to pose a direct threat to the entire territory of Mozhen Country.
The urgent documents were reported frequently to Tieyuancheng, the capital of Mozhen Kingdom, like snowflakes (located in Teeyuan County, near the 38th line of the border between Gangwon Province and North Korea in later generations)... This area is located in the mountains, in the palace in the center of the city, and suddenly recalls the roar of hoarseness:
"It's unreasonable! Just a mere Khitan is just a cheap person in the Di Yi. He dares to offend me so much and anger the Buddha!?"
The man roared in a golden robe and a square robe, but his blue scalp was exposed on the corner of his forehead, and his body was relatively bloated. What was more conspicuous was that one of his eyes was covered by a golden silk eye mask, and the remaining trick shot out a fierce light like an angry beast.
King Mo Zhen Gongren claimed that he was born in the world as the "Maitreya Buddha in the future", but his face was full of flesh and his eyebrows were full of cruelty and evil spirits. His appearance was no different from the murderer who was crazy about his heart...
The gongren paced back and forth violently, and when he spoke in his words, he always had to mix with beasts and animals, transform into foreign divine and other words that were extremely contemptuous, such as the words that were extremely contemptuous, and cursed.
After all, with the help of the Tang Dynasty, Silla destroyed Goguryeo and swallowed Baekje, and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty the most frequently. Most of the time, Zhongtu and Japan could not avoid the passage through Silla... Therefore, learning the Chinese culture of the Middle Earth, Silla got the moon first near the water and towers, and has always been very contemptuous of other ethnic groups in the north.
If we follow the official trajectory, when Goryeo Taizu Wang Jian died, he instructed his descendants to "Only I am in the east, I admire the Tang style, and respect the cultural relics and rituals and music; different places and different human natures, so there is no need to agree with it. The Khitan is a country of beasts, with different customs and different words; be careful not to apply it in the clothing and hat system." Even if he was later defeated by the Khitan, he looked down on the Jurchens as a foreign divine, and then rubbed them again; including the later Korean season called Toyotomi Hideyoshi an invasion of the Japanese, and the Ming Dynasty also wanted to resolve the disaster of the destruction of the country; and then called the Qing invasion of the Qing Dynasty a chaotic situation, and in the end he had to bow down and surrender; in addition, the later regime changes, he still flattered the powerful and looked down on the face of neighboring countries in the past, which seemed to be their tradition from ancient times to the present...
For the moment, for the Bohai Kingdom in the north, whether it is Silla or the now-divided Mozhen, the latter Baekje, they are also described as humiliating words such as "South Bond", "Yuya Kingdom", and "August Guard".
Therefore, the Gongren also regarded the Khitan as a beast, Diyi, but was subjected to a large-scale invasion, and the army invaded the enemy was unstoppable... This also made him, the Lord of Mozhen, feel a great offense, and he scolded him, but he was in a hurry, but he was actually extremely panicked!
