Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Gao Jianwu did not agree with Yuan Gai Suwen's statement, but he also knew that Yuan Gai Suwen was not wrong from some angles.

What was wrong was not Yuangai Suwen, but Goguryeo, or the current situation.

But Gao Jianwu didn't want to have any conflicts with Datang, because he knew that Goguryeo was not Datang's opponent. To be precise, although Goguryeo once resisted the Sui Dynasty, which was also the Central Plains dynasty.

But can Datang be the same as the previous dynasty?Just look at the record of both sides.The current Tang Dynasty not only wiped out the 36 countries in the Western Regions, but also wiped out most of the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, including Xue Yantuo and Shiwei in the entire north, all of which were completely included in the Tang Dynasty. territory.

The current Datang territory is unprecedentedly vast!A dynasty that is wider than the previous dynasties of the Central Plains!And how much power can these dynasties gather?

The elite cavalry brought by these grassland peoples alone is a difficult problem for Goguryeo, because a large number of cavalry can haunt any city in Goguryeo, and it is impossible for Goguryeo to defend all cities.

But the problem now is that no matter whether Goguryeo moves or moves, the Tang Dynasty will move sooner or later, so Gao Jianwu once discussed with the ministers that he wanted to eliminate some powerful officials who controlled the government, and these powerful officials prevented Gao Jianwu's power from being concentrated.

And Yuan Gai Su Wen or the Yuan family deserved to be the first one. The problem is the current situation in Goguryeo. Gao Jianwu knows very well that Yuan Gai Su Wen cannot die.

Yuan Gaisuwen, who controls nearly half of Goguryeo's army, if he dies, the current Goguryeo will not be able to find any military generals who can compare with Yuan Gaisuwen.

When Goguryeo is gone, his position is naturally meaningless.

As for how Datang dealt with Xue Yantuo and Shi Wei, Gao Jianwu knew about it. If he had a choice, imagine that Gao Jianwu might also want to be a prince of Datang, but he couldn't move.

In other words, Goguryeo is not something he can decide, and Goguryeo is not up to him.Although he is the king of Goguryeo, he can't decide anything about Goguryeo.

If he dared to say that he would surrender to Datang tomorrow and become a lord or even a Duke of Datang, he would die tonight.

He is different from Xue Yantuo and other khans in the grassland, he does not have that absolute right, so he cannot make such a choice at all.

In this power-struggling country, all kinds of forces have long been entangled together, and it is impossible to distinguish clearly. It is impossible for anyone to decide the direction of such a country.

It is only possible when the enemy shows unprecedented strength, but at that time, does the other party, or Datang need them?

"General Gai Suwen, go ahead and do whatever you want. The court of Goguryeo will definitely support you." Gao Jianwu finally spoke, or in other words, he still made a compromise, because there was no other way. The only thing he could choose now.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Gai Suwen gave him face, and addressed him as Your Majesty.

When he walked out of Gao Jianwu's palace, Yuan Gai Suwen looked back silently. He originally wanted to kill Gao Jianwu directly and then help a puppet to come up, but now it seems that Gao Jianwu is not that stupid.

If Gao Jianwu hadn't thought of doing something against him, he wouldn't have the idea of ​​killing Gao Jianwu directly. After all, in a country like Goguryeo, which is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, such a regicide would suffer if it was not handled properly. to a huge backlash.

So whenever there is a choice, Yuan Gai Suwen doesn't want to directly attack Gao Jianwu, but there are always some idiots who think that they can help Gao Jianwu take him down.

These people are the political enemies of the Yuan family, but it doesn't matter. Under the huge external pressure, Gao Jianwu can't choose many.

This is indeed the choice and judgment made by Yuan Gai Suwen himself, and it is his intention.The reason for doing this is also very simple, because as long as this crisis is used well, the army he can control is not only half of Goguryeo's army.

Most of the military power in the entire Goguryeo will fall into his hands. At that time, no one would dare to have wrong thoughts about him. He is just taking advantage of the crisis in this country to solve some problems.

Because of the external pressure from Goguryeo, the strength of the army that Yuan Gai Suwen can control has always been in the direction facing Datang. As for other directions, his strength is not much.

But this time for Baekje and Silla, things are much simpler. Just send the remaining half of the military forces that are not his. With their strength, it is a problem to take down these two weak countries. .

How can those people's abilities compare with their own?

Yuangai Suwen is very aware of the abilities of these generals in Goguryeo.

It has to be said that from a certain point of view, Yuan Gai Suwen indeed has an amazing talent in military ability. After all, it is impossible for a person without some talent to resist the attack of so many famous generals in Datang. Tang had to choose the method of slow encroachment to destroy Goguryeo.

And Goguryeo was indeed completely wiped out by Datang after the death of Yuan Gai Suwen.

It can be seen from these that Yuan Gai Suwen has the ability in this area.

That's why he wants to master more military strength. From a certain point of view, there is no problem with the war strategy of Baekje and Silla. If Baekje and Silla can be quickly eliminated and they can be controlled, Goguryeo is indeed There is a stable rear.

Although that half of the army is not under the control of Yuan Gaisuwen, after Gao Jianwu issued the order, Yuan Gaisuwen, who theoretically has the order of the highest military general in Goguryeo, has the power to issue orders to this part of the army, ordering them to achieve this goal. Strategic objectives.

It doesn’t matter who controls this part of the army. When Yuangai Suwen gave the order, the Goguryeo army started to move directly. In fact, there were a large number of Goguryeo troops stationed at the border with Silla and Baekje before. on-line.

Although Yuan Gai Su Wen really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the enemy's vital forces, but Yuan Gai Su Wen never thought of losing the battle.Or to be precise, he never thought of consuming Goguryeo's army in large quantities, he just needed to control these troops.

The best way is to eliminate the generals of these armies, or wait until they are defeated, or they fight passively, find enough excuses to transfer them directly, and then arrange their own people to go in.

This is the best way. After controlling these troops, they will be Yuan Gai Suwen's own strength.

Therefore, he never thought of losing the battle, and never thought of sending Goguryeo's army to die.
