Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Although there are not only soldiers here, but also generals, captains, and even Datang's intelligence department, Li Chengqian did not hide some of his actions at all.

Because he knew very well that these people would not care about Li Ke's good words anyway, but would agree with them from the bottom of their hearts, so his actions would naturally not spread to Chang'an District.

Although Li Chengqian had basically been resting for the past two years and didn't pay much attention to government affairs, he did read and study.

So Li Chengqian knew very well that the reason why these people, whether they were soldiers or low-level officers, or even the intelligence department, would not pass on what he said to Chang'an.

It is because no one will take seriously what is taken for granted in the depths of their hearts and subconsciously.

It's like a person has been eating rice and noodles since the day he was born.When he grows up, he comes to you and you give him rice and noodles, but he will never ask why you gave him rice and noodles instead of other things.

These ideas have already taken root deep in their hearts. They subconsciously agree with what you said. They don’t take it seriously at all, and of course they won’t spread it.

……

Li Chengqian did not attend the subsequent military combat meetings. His greatest pleasure every day was to chat with these low-level officers and soldiers in the cafeteria, or to watch the training of these soldiers.

With the passage of time, the weather in the north began to warm up quickly, the grass on both sides of the road had begun to sprout green shoots, and the snow had already melted, when it entered April.

Datang's army finally made all preparations.

The frontline troops have begun to advance gradually, and more and more scouts have become active between the borders of the two countries.

It can be seen that Goguryeo's envoys should have returned to their capital, and the entire Goguryeo army has finally started to move.

However, something happened during this period, that is, between Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty, there were actually many Goguryeo people, and there were also many Goguryeo villages, and the frontier city of Goguryeo was Liaodong City, Huaiyuan Town (later Shenyang, Liaoning) Liaozhong District), Tongding Town (Hou Xinmin City) this line.

But there are many common people living around these cities, and there are naturally many common people's villages between the two countries.

After Goguryeo received the news from the envoys, Goguryeo began to gather the people outside the city. After all, the people in this era didn't have much food in their hands.

If you move directly, it will be too late.

Anyway, Datang was obviously not ready to act quickly at that time.

But what is surprising is that some people followed the Goguryeo soldiers and were taken back, but more people, it can be said that most of the people chose to flee directly to Datang.

Some of them were people who were originally instigated by Liu Zhao and others, but many people who had not been instigated by Liu Zhao and others also ran to Datang.

In particular, Datang showed that he did not reject these people, but instead directed them to retreat to the rear, and reserved enough places for them to temporarily accommodate them in the rear.

Then these news also quickly began to pass to the inside of Goguryeo through the relevant channels of the Ministry of Intelligence.

After Yuan Gai Suwen, who was far away in Pyongyang City, heard the news, he was so angry that he almost drew his knife and hacked the soldier who delivered the letter to death!

"These untouchables! After we repel Datang, I must let them know the price of betrayal!" Yuan Gai Suwen said viciously.

The generals around Yuan Gai Suwen were silent, and there was a lot of turmoil in Goguryeo. Ever since the envoys of Goguryeo returned to China, Yuan Gai Suwen went to see Gao Jianwu immediately.

And Gao Jianwu is also very clear that the current Goguryeo can only rely on Yuangai Suwen, which is different from the previous war with Datang under Yuling. Before that, it was only Datang who was in the territory of Silla and Baekje, and then prevented Goguryeo from taking it completely. Silla and Baekje only.

But this time, it was Datang's hundreds of thousands of elites who went straight to Goguryeo!This time it's a national war!Just like the Sui Dynasty's war against Goguryeo decades ago!

"General, do we want to mobilize more troops to the front line of Liaodong City? Although there are heavy troops stationed in Liaodong City, the Tang Dynasty has more troops, and the food, arrows, and rolling logs in the various cities on the front line of Liaodong City are stored. The number is not enough." A general stood up and asked.

Yuangai Suwen calmed down, "Gather the army for the time being and don't move. The current Datang was able to quickly transport more than 1 soldiers to Silla Baekje, and I heard that the number of soldiers from the Datang who arrived in Silla recently reached 5." to [-] people."

"This means that Datang has a large number of ships in its hands, so we cannot guarantee that Liaodong City, Anshi City (Houhai City) and other frontlines are important border towns between Goguryeo and Datang. This series of cities is enough to guarantee our early stage. Safety."

"If all the cities in the hinterland are transferred away, it means that if Datang uses the navy to land near our hinterland, such as Black Bone City (Houfeng City), we will have no troops to defend."

Yuan Gai Suwen knew very well that Datang's troops could be mobilized much more than Goguryeo.

Although it seems that Goguryeo is still mobilizing 50 million soldiers, but he also knows how much water is in these 50 million soldiers.At least half of the soldiers are not elite, and they cannot be expected to play a role in important battlefields.

It is good enough that they can follow the main army to fight against the wind or assist in defending the city.

Regarding Yuangai Suwen's decision, everyone naturally has no other opinions. The speed of Datang's troop movement in Silla and Baekje is indeed beyond their expectations, and Pyongyang City is also a city near the sea. If If Datang directly lands here...

Although it is unlikely, after all, Pyongyang City must be heavily guarded here.

However, what Yuan Gai Su Wen and these generals didn't know was that Li Ke had no idea of ​​opening up a fourth battlefield. Now Datang had arrangements on the front line of Silla and Fusang Sea.

Counting the frontal battlefield, there are already three battlefields blooming. Although the opening of the fourth battlefield can make Goguryeo more chaotic, it is also a huge test for Datang's logistics.

The main reason is that landing the Datang army in the hinterland of Goguryeo will inevitably be surrounded by Goguryeo's heavy troops, which will definitely cause certain casualties, so it is better to push directly, but the casualties may be smaller.

But even though Li Ke had no idea of ​​opening up a fourth battlefield, Li Chengqian's suggestion to Li Shiji posed a huge threat to Goguryeo.
