After a detailed discussion between the uncle and nephew, Li Su's mood calmed down a lot. .

At the same time, he also realized that this war was not easily mixed with by himself. It was related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's imperial power and the hearts of the people of the world, and to the attitude of the aristocratic families towards the Li family's imperial power in the future...

Li Shimin took it too important, so he would never allow others to challenge his power, especially at the critical moment of the war between the two armies. Today, when the river crossing is over, even if Wei Zheng reborn, he dared to openly contradict Li Shimin's decision in front of the two armies. I believe that Li Shimin would behead him without hesitation.

So Li Su escaped today, and his uncle was indeed his uncle. Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and almost saved his life.

After understanding this, Li Su couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he really acted like a bastard in front of the formation today, it would be as simple as squatting in the Dali Temple cell. If he didn't die, he would even peel off his skin.

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", it is indeed a very dangerous thing to go to war with Li Shimin. Li Su suddenly began to miss home...

…………

After huge casualties, the battle of crossing the river was finally won.

After the war, Li Shimin summoned all the generals to discuss matters, and the marching general reported the loss of the war today. Today's battle can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

First, Niu Jinda's troops had 50,000 troops. When crossing the river in the upper reaches of the Liao River, they were indeed ambushed by the Goryeo Army. Fortunately, the number of people on the other side was not large. When half of the troops crossed, the Goryeo Army suddenly shot arrows into the river. Round after round of arrow rain shot into the river like locusts. Niu Jinda saw that he had no choice but to retreat, and gritted his teeth and ordered to cross the river in the rain of arrows.

The frequency of arrow rain after round was frighteningly high. It seemed that the Goryeo Army ambushed across the river was a specialized bow and archery force. Because of the continuous rain of arrows, Niu Jinda's troops suffered heavy losses. After paying the price of more than 2,000 people, he barely landed and fought with the enemy.

Afterwards, Niu Jinda learned that in order to ambush Niu Jinda's troops in the east of the Liaohe River, the 50,000 Korean troops specially dispatched 10,000 troops and allocated all the bows and arrows in the Goryeo army to this 10,000. This is also the reason why Li Shimin's 40,000 Korean troops on the opposite side did not let a single arrow but only fought with the Tang army's swords and guns when Li Shimin forced his power to cross the river.

After all, Niu Jinda was a famous general. Although he suddenly encountered an ambush, he was calm and calm. After forcibly crossing the river, Niu Jinda killed the Goryeo army and fled. After sorting the team, he immediately rushed towards the Goryeo army camp and immediately launched a raid on the Goryeo army camp.

The first battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo ended in a tragic way.

Afterwards, the marching chief recorded the casualties and results. In this battle, the Tang army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, while the Goryeo Army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, and the remaining more than 30,000 people were all dispersed and fled, which was considered a fierce battle.

After paying such a heavy price, the army finally crossed the Liao River, and further forward was the border of Goguryeo.

After the war, the army was stationed on the Liaohe River for two days to rest. Many aftermath matters must be resolved within these two days, such as burying soldiers who died in battle, sorting out post-war ordnance materials, treating wounded soldiers, or carrying some seriously injured soldiers back to Liucheng through logistics civilians, etc.

Two days later, Li Shimin ordered the journey to continue to move forward, with his destination: Liaodong City.

*********************************************************************

Liaodong City is located on the west side of the Qianshan Mountains, from the Liao River to the east, and the Tang Dynasty Kings officially entered Goguryeo.

Liaodong City is a fortress-like city embedded between the borders of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

After entering Goguryeo, the scenery you encounter on the road is very different.

There are few people who are seen along the way. Because the war between the Tang Dynasty began, the Goryeo people, both soldiers and the people, migrated to the hinterland of the country. Most of the things they saw along the way were harvested fields, as well as simple and familiar houses.

I have to say that the country's feelings for China are really love and hate.

What they hated was that no matter how the dynasty of China changed, they would send envoys to order Goguryeo to surrender, let Goguryeo regard the Central Plains dynasty as the sect leader, and they had to pay tribute every year, otherwise they would fight each other. This kind of domineering spirit was particularly prosperous during the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the Sui Dynasty started with Emperor Wen and several generations of emperors in the next several times initiated wars against Goguryeo.

Of course, if you can't slap a slap, Goguryeo is not too reasonable. This country is too barren, with many mountains and few lands, small thalassinated, and the people are poor, and if you are poor, you will want to change. For hundreds of years, Goguryeo has sent troops to harass the Central Plains border, slaughtering and looting the property and population of border people. It is precisely because of these contradictions that the two countries finally broke out during the Sui Dynasty because of these conflicts year after year, which caused a situation where the two countries were incompatible.

As for Goguryeo's "love" for China, it is naturally the culture, clothing, architecture, bridges of China, Chinese characters, works of ancient sages in the Central Plains, etc. Only aristocrats are qualified to learn these things. The nobles in Goryeo are proud of writing Chinese characters and speaking Chinese language, and regard them as symbols of superiority.

Such complex and lingering love, hate and love between the two countries, if anthropomorphized, could write a romance novel of three million words, which was so stingy. In the middle, Baekje Silla, the two mistresses, and the green tea bitch of Japan, would have to be added...

…………

Three days later, the Tang army arrived at the city of Liaodong.

Liaodong City is in a flat and flat land. This is the only plain alluvial area left to the west of Goguryeo, suitable for cavalry charges. As soon as the army arrived outside the city, they immediately set up camp for alert.

Before Li Shimin's commanding tent was built, he immediately sent someone to shoot at Liaodong City to summon letters.

The garrison in Liaodong City was named Zhao Huigong. It sounded like the king of a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This man had a tough temper. Li Shimin sent someone to shoot into the city and quickly came to his hands. Then this guy was very brave and probably felt that he had lived in the siege of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. So he simply broke the can and gave up. Not long after, he even shot a letter to the Tang army camp outside the city. This letter was almost the same as Li Shimin's book on recruiting surrender. The difference was that he changed the name.

Li Shimin was so angry that he was shameless. With just a few thousand soldiers in the city, he actually dared to surrender the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. He also asked Li Shimin to take off his clothes, carry a thorn in his chest, and bow to the city...

Li Shimin was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, and then the last passage of peace between the two sides was completely cut off.

Since you cannot surrender, then meet with others!

…………

Li Su has been in the barracks these days and is feeling more and more worried.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were unstoppable and directly attacking the border town of Goryeo. It seemed like a good thing, with a rainbow of morale and a rapid progress, which was so refreshing.

But if Seweng gets a horse, how can he know that it is wrong?

Everything went too far, and until now Li Shimin had no intention of dispersing his troops. Three hundred thousand soldiers surrounded Liaodong City, which seemed to be a lion fighting against a rabbit, but in fact there were too many hidden dangers.

War is not arithmetic problem. For example, if the enemy kills you 100,000 troops and you still have 200,000 left, this is not the case when fighting war.

Perhaps after his 100,000 troops were ambushed and killed, the remaining 200,000 soldiers and horses had already shook and disintegrated, and then these 200,000 people basically lost their combat power. As long as they were scared, the 200,000 people would throw down their weapons and turn around and run away. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. China has been around for thousands of years, and it is like a dozen enemies chasing thousands of soldiers who fled, running around the mountains and fields.

This phenomenon is easily seen when so many armies are concentrated together. After hundreds of thousands of troops fight against the enemy, it is not surprising that victory is not surprising. Once there is a slight defeat, the defeat will be infinitely amplified. The mentality of fear and cowardice will spread rapidly throughout the battalion like a plague. In the end, a slight disturbance will become the fuse for the defeat of the entire army.

At this time, the Tang army was in full swing. No one could see these hidden dangers, but Li Su could see them. It was because of this that Li Su felt particularly worried.

What was even more upset was that these worries could not be advised to Li Shimin. Now Li Shimin in Li Su's eyes was completely crazy, as if he was caught in evil, and he could not listen to anyone's words. He only believed in himself. He wanted to take all the rewards of destroying the country on himself. He had been blinded by the worship and cheers of the people after victory.

Thinking about it, Li Su sadly discovered that he would wake up only after watching Li Shimin suffer a big defeat in Goryeo. Perhaps at that time, he could hear the honest advice.

…………

The army besieged Liaodong City, but Li Shimin had not ordered the siege.

Li Su didn't know what Li Shimin thought, maybe this wise emperor also had procrastination.

After three days of besieging the city, Li Su was idle all day long in the camp. When he was bored, he teased and defamed the newly acquired maid Gao Suhui. The poisonous tongue stimulated Gao Suhui to roll her eyes and she couldn't speak out. Li Su felt a sense of pleasure from the bottom of her heart.

After spending time with this jittery girl, Li Su found that she was becoming more and more like a pervert...

Could it be that this girl activated the hidden attributes in her bones?

When Li Su woke up early in the morning, he asked Fang Laowu about the time and found that it was past Mao hour. He listened to the quiet atmosphere in the camp, so he sighed inwardly.

On the fourth day of the siege of the city, it seems that Li Shimin still has no plans to attack the city today.

After washing up, Li Su continued to wander around the camp, walking aimlessly while guessing Li Shimin's intention.

It is said that soldiers are very fast. Hundreds of thousands of troops enter the enemy's territory, and they should fight and decide quickly. Li Shimin delayed the small Liaodong city for four days. Could it be that he was waiting for the arrival of Goryeo reinforcements and then wiped them out in one fell swoop?

A big appetite.

Walking around like a lonely ghost, Li Su unknowingly found that he had walked out of the gate, and then walked out was outside the camp. It would be better to be honest in the enemy country. Who knows if there are any soldiers and horses that ambush the knots nearby?

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Li Su immediately walked back.

After walking a few steps, there were fierce quarrels coming from a barracks near the gate. Li Su stopped curiously.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are all stagnant in the same camp. If there is no accident, it will be gone. Once something happens, it will be a major event that will be wiped out!"

"Xue Li, you are the only one who is smart and capable in our fire. Others are fools, right? Even His Majesty and the generals didn't realize that there was a problem, but you saw that it seems that you will be the general sooner or later. If you become a general in the future, don't forget our poor robes!"

As soon as the sarcastic words finished, a burst of laughter came from the barracks.

The man named Xue Li was obviously angry, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only sigh: "You are short-sighted, I really don't want to say much to you, and I don't want to do anything to you!"

Another voice sneered: "According to what you said, what should we do with hundreds of thousands of people? All retreated to the west bank of Liaohe River to start over?"

Xue Li snorted: "According to me, after capturing Liaodong City, we must divide our troops and attack. This time, there were many veterans in the army, and any veteran was a commander. It was more than enough to lead a army alone. After division of troops, they attacked from three sides. In less than half a year, Goryeo could defeat him!"

Outside the barracks, Li Su's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but show joy and excitement.

What is this? This is a confidant! It is not enough to express the admiration in his heart when he has a sister. If he has a sister, he will try his best to make Xu Mingzhu scold him and marry him. Such a person must be his brother-in-law...

Li Su was so excited that she began to think randomly, and then she couldn't help but rush into the barracks.

The barracks were very small, filled with a smell of sweat and foot odor. It was very pungent and smoky. People like Li Su who are obsessed with cleanliness don’t care about this anymore. They glanced left and right, and Li Suxi said, “Who? Who is the high theory of who was just now? By the way, it’s called Xue Li, right? Who is Xue Li?”

Seeing that Li Su was dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary appearance, and followed by a group of troops such as Fang Laowu, the soldiers in the barracks suddenly realized that he was a powerful figure in the army and did not dare to offend him, so they all stood up to salute.

A man dressed in an ordinary soldier with a thin figure and gentle appearance took two steps and bowed nervously and said, "The villain is Xue Li, whose courtesy name is Rengui. Pay a visit to this noble man..."
