Chapter 869

"Regain the hatred for China's children!"

By the banks of the Rushui River, Li Chao stood in front of the continuous military formation and shouted loudly. . The fastest update

The father was wearing a white robe and volunteers responded loudly.

"I don't ask for official honors and rewards, but I just want to die in Liaodong!"

The momentum was like a tsunami.

The faces were dark all the way, and Yuchi Gong, who was frosty, couldn't help but be shocked by the atmosphere. Although he believed that Li Chao's revenge for the restoration of his children in China was true, it was definitely fake that those volunteer soldiers said not to ask for official honors.

These people came to join the war. Isn’t it just that Tu followed Li Chao to have a great chance to achieve meritorious rewards? But what he was surprised was not these scenes, but was surprised by this scene.

These farmers and fellow soldiers in his eyes shouted out amazing momentum. This momentum may not even be even ordinary soldiers.

Before the war, it was certain that they were nervous and fearful, but these mob volunteer soldiers were like a group of newborn calves, not even afraid of tigers.

He couldn't help but wonder, was he wrong before? These people were not mobs, but really a group of righteous and loyal soldiers?

Li Chao's face was gloomy as he heard this response.

"The morale is as grand as the army is available."

Yuchi Gong rode a horse to Li Chao, "Ling Gong, do you really want to cross the river to attack?"

On the other side of the Ru River is the defense set up by the Goguryeo people. They used the method of besieging the city to block the aid against Pingzhou. Some of them besieged Pingzhou City, while others set up defenses and intercepted the Tang army on the Ru River west of Pingzhou.

As February begins, it is still very cold in the north, and the ice in the Ruhe River has not yet thawed, and it is still very thick.

This is a good thing for the Tang army, who is about to launch an attack. If the ice melts in another two months, and the spring flood will be very troublesome to cross the river.

However, although it is more convenient to cross the river now, there are at least 30,000 Goguryeo troops across the river. There are 35,000 Goguryeo troops here, but there are 20,000 white-robed soldiers in these 35,000 miles.

Even a peerless general like Yuchi Gong has no confidence.

The Goguryeo people are not easy to fight. Yuchi Gong had also been to Liaodong back then and had some understanding of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong.

The mountains and rivers are high and dangerous. The Goguryeo people build cities on the mountains, and there are mountain cities everywhere. The weather is extremely cold and there are many rivers and forests. Therefore, the Goguryeo people are considered a country that is half farming, half fishing and hunting. The tribes in the northeast of Goguryeo live in colder and more dangerous places, but many of the tribes have joined the Goguryeo people.

Cavalry are the most fierce and savage cavalry. Now there are many cavalry in the Goguryeo army opposite.

Li Chao turned around and looked at the high-spirited white-robed soldiers and smiled.

"Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu. I will have 20,000 volunteer soldiers plus 5,000 Shenji Camp, plus your 10,000 Youzhou soldiers, can't I destroy these sticks?"

"But what can these 20,000 spearmen be used as? Although they are shouting now, they really fight on the battlefield, they are afraid that these people will suddenly become scattered chickens and turn around and run away in fear."

Li Chao just shook his head. If he only had these 20,000 volunteer soldiers in his hand, he certainly knew it would be difficult to accomplish anything. But didn’t he still have 5,000 Shenji Camp and 10,000 Youzhou soldiers? These soldiers were all elite soldiers, especially the Shenji Camp. When it was formed, they were elite soldiers drawn from the troops of the local governments. They were the imperial guards of the Northern Yaya and the emperor’s personal army.

With these 5,000 elite soldiers, they can definitely stay stable. As long as these 20,000 soldiers are not allowed to take the lead as the main force and let them beat the side drum, it is still good.

Li Chao looked across the river.

"The existence of the old China in Liaodong was from Wei to Zhou and was placed outside the jurisdiction. Four of the Sui family came out of the army, and they lost their laws and returned, killing countless good deeds in China."

"Every time I think of hundreds of thousands of Chinese children who are in a foreign land and cannot return, and I think of them for a long night but cannot sleep. This time, Your Majesty appointed me as the governor of Yanyun and asked me to resist the invasion. Not only did I want to repel the invasion of the Goguryeo people, but I also had to advance eastward to recover western Liaoning and Liaodong, and to plant the Tang Dynasty's military flags into Pyongyang City."

"I want to destroy the Jingguan, which was built by the corpses of my Chinese children, and bring all the corpses of their children back to the Central Plains, and bring back the corpses of the fallen soldiers between the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong, so that their souls can return to their hometowns and sleep under the ground."

"No one can stop me, the Ru River in front of me cannot, there are no warriors on the other side of the river, and even more so in the Goguryeo mountain cities. Do you want to follow me to advance eastward and break through Pyongyang!"

A veteran on the battlefield like Yuchi Gong was moved after hearing these words.

He thought of his trip to Liaodong to deliver food and grass more than ten years ago, and the bones everywhere along the way. Among the hundreds of thousands of Chinese children who died in Liaodong, his fellow countrymen were his fellow countrymen.

The blood that had been silent in his heart for many years came up.

He never forgot to recover his country and take revenge. Liaodong will always be the Liaodong of the Han people in the Central Plains. Every inch of this land is soaked with the blood of the Han people.

Even if Gao Jianwu does not provoke this war this time, Li Chao will sooner or later fight to Liaodong.

"Gao Jianwu took his own destruction. Look at these white-robed righteous men. They took the initiative to ask for battle just to avenge their previous shame."

The current Goguryeo King is Gao Jianwu, the son of Gao Yangcheng, the King of Goguryeo Plain, and the half-stop of King Zhuyuan of Pingyang.

In the first year of Wude, Gao Yuan died, Gao Jianwu ascended the throne and was named King Rongliu.

Gao Jianwu is still very capable, otherwise it would not be his turn as the emperor brother to succeed him.

At the beginning of his succession, Gao Jianwu was quite careful. In the second year of Wude and the fourth year of Wude, he sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute twice.

In the fifth year of Wude, Li Tang initially unified the Central Plains, and only then did he have the energy to look around. At that time, Li Yuan wrote a letter to Gao Jiancheng, saying that countless soldiers died in Liaodong due to attacking Gao Ju and being the same. In addition, many Sui lost prisoners were left in Liaodong.

Li Yuan wrote a letter to Gao Jianwu, agreeing that Goguryeo would send the Han people who stayed there back to the Central Plains, and Li Yuan would also send the Goguryeo who stayed in the Central Plains back.

At that time, Gao Jianwu agreed, and the two sides launched a prisoner-change operation, and finally returned more than 10,000 people to each other.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ascended the throne and Gao Jianwu sent an envoy to pay tribute again.

Li Shimin sent Shen Shu'an, the Minister of Justice, to Goguryeo, and conferred Gao Jianwu as the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Prince of Liaodong, and the King of Goryeo. He also sent Taoist priests to bring statues of the Heavenly Venerable and Daozang to spread Taoist classics to them.

At that time, Li Shimin had just become emperor and was unstable at home and abroad, so he did not want to rebel against Goguryeo. Goguryeo was also seriously injured in several battles with the Sui army, so he did not want to have a conflict with Tang.

In this case, the Tang and Goguryeo have been together for several years, and the water of the well did not interfere with the rivers. Gao Jianwu even accepted the title of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and on the surface he respected the leader of the Tang Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin once told Li Chao, "Goguryeo pays tribute to the Tang Dynasty, this is the most basic bottom line. Liaodong, during the Zhou Dynasty, was the specialty store of Jizi, and Xuantu County during the Han Dynasty. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is still under the title of the former seal, so it cannot be ignored. Moreover, China and barbarians are like the sun and stars, and they cannot be surrendered."

At that time, Gao Jianwu accepted the enthronement, and Li Shimin temporarily gave up the Goguryeo people.

Originally, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty reached an agreement and ignored the Goguryeo who had already surrendered. They had to wait until the Turks were settled before talking about Goguryeo, and talk about revenge and regaining their hometown.

But no one expected that Gao Jianwu, who had been honest for several years, would suddenly go crazy, listen to Tong Ye Hu's words, and act to send troops to invade Tang.

Gao Jianwu has broken the peace and the war has begun.

"Cross the river!"

Li Chao issued an order to cross the river, and the 35,000 Tang troops began to cross the river on the ice.

Rushui East Coast.

Goguryeo's horse detective learned about the movements of the Tang army and quickly reported it.

In the Goguryeo camp, in the central army tent, Goguryeo commander Yoon Gaisuwen was looking at the map. This time, he was the main force in the war, but although the troops were sent to the army to achieve the surprise attack, the progress was still not smooth in the end.

He chose to raid the Tang Realm after the Turks sent troops to cross Yinshan first. The effect was very good, but after attacking the Tang Realm, he did not even take down a decent city.

Not to mention the throat Yuguan, even the other cities of Pingzhou Lulong City and other cities were not captured. Although the Tang generals in Youzhou had few soldiers, they came to rescue Pingzhou several times, so they forced him to divide his troops to intercept him. As a result, after several battles, he had only the advantage of troops, but he did not gain any advantage.

"Who is here again?"

"Sir, this time it was not just Yuchi Gong, there were 30,000 to 40,000 people, far more than the previous few times."

When I heard that there were 30,000 to 40,000 people, Yuan Gaisuwen was a little surprised.

He knew how many troops there were in Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and he had to divide his troops to defend against the Turks. There were not many soldiers in Hebei at all. Even if the troops were drawn from all over the country, they were not so fast.

After all, most of the soldiers in Hebei and Hedong were concentrated, and if they wanted to mobilize more soldiers, they could only mobilize them from Huainan, Shannan, Guanzhong and other places.

"Where did this Yuchi Gong get so many soldiers? Could it be that some strong men came over to bluff?" Yuan Gai Suwen thought, stroking her beard.

Yoon Gaisu is famous in Goguryeo.

The Yuan family came from the Shunnu tribe of the five Goguryeo tribes in the early years, and Yuan Gaisuwen's father Yuan Daejo was the big pair of Goguryeo.

The position of Lu was equivalent to that of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he was in charge of military and political power.

Yeon Gaisuwen was only in her twenties at this time, but he had already taken over his father as the lord of the eastern part of Goguryeo, which was equivalent to taking charge of the eastern part of Goguryeo and was very powerful.

This time, Yuan Gai Suwen and his son were firm pro-war factions.

After Gao Jianwu decided to send troops, Yuan Daejo asked his son Yuan Gaisuwen to command the troops. Although Yuan Gaisuwen was young, he started to go to the battlefield as a teenager and fought with the tribes, Baekje and Silla many times, and made great achievements.

"Let's go, let me see. I want to see how many skills this Yuchi Gong has."

As soon as Yuan Gaisuwen left the military tent, he encountered another visit to the Malaysian newspaper.
