Chapter 412: The first shot to capture Goguryeo was fired

Su Dingfang's expression became serious. This was the ultimate purpose of Lu Zhaoci asking him to go to Silla, which was to spy on the situation of the three kingdoms of Silla. When Su Dingfang returned to China, he couldn't wait to summon Su Dingfang. This shows that Emperor Zhenguan's attitude towards Silla

Attention, this is why Lu Zhaoci was not unhappy at all with Su Dingfang rashly competing with him, because only in this way can he judge the strength of the Silla army.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if there is only one country of Baekje, Silla will undoubtedly win, but if they face Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla soldiers will undoubtedly lose." Su Dingfang blurted out without even thinking about the words: "Your Majesty, I and Baekje

They have fought against the Royal Palace Guards. Although they are very powerful, I think they are not as good as our regular army. Maybe they are trained very strictly, but they have not been baptized on the battlefield, so they only have their appearance, but not their spirit.

It's okay to scare ordinary people, but it can't scare the truly elite troops. Although I have never been to Baekje, I see that the Baekje envoy is just a person with a fierce appearance and a weak heart. If the Baekje army is strong, where will it be?

The Silla people occupied the entire Han River basin, so I believe that Silla will definitely win against Baekje. Goguryeo's Yeon Gaesomun is not a simple character. Although Silla despises Baekje, I always talk about it.

When they arrived at Goguryeo, the other party was speechless or did not care about other things. When it came to Yeon Gaesumun, Silla's expressions changed even more when they heard about it. It can be seen that Goguryeo defeated the former Sui Dynasty.

After three attacks, its strong strength has penetrated into Silla, so I think that Silla cannot defeat Goguryeo. If we face Goguryeo and Silla together, it is overestimating our capabilities."

"I didn't expect that Silla is just a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong." Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "If this is the case, I don't think I can have greater hope for Silla."

"Your Majesty, I thought that war would break out in the three kingdoms of Silla soon." Su Dingfang bravely raised his hands and said, "I ask your Majesty to make preparations in advance."

"Oh, why does General Su have such an idea?" Lu Zhaoci looked at Su Dingfang in surprise, with a smile on his face. He did not expect that Su Dingfang, who had killed countless people in his life, would come up with such an inference. Moreover, he was still in the Xuande Hall. Although he

He is also a general, but does he have a place to speak in this place? But he did not stop the other party from speaking. There are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who can graduate from martial arts is not a simple thing. At least he can command a battle.

Small wars can still be won if the military strength is not much different and the opponent is not too strong. However, the Tang Dynasty still lacks the kind of generals with strategic vision and forward-looking vision, and a country

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty requires generals with such a vision. Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty today, there are still not many people who can have such a vision. The great generals Li Jing, Xu Shiji, the second generation general Qin Yong, and Zu Ming

It can only be counted as one. Among the three generations of generals, there used to be Xue Rengui. Now it seems that the Su Dingfang in front of him is not much different. Therefore, Lu Zhaoci decided to test the other party. If the other party is really handsome,

It was also an unexpected surprise. Cen Wenwen and others also looked at Su Dingfang, wondering what the young general in front of them would say.

"Your Majesty, I attended a reception banquet hosted by the Queen of Silla for me and others. At the banquet, I saw the envoys from Baekje and Goguryeo. General Jin Yushin of Silla mocked the envoys from Baekje in front of everyone in the hall. Three days later,

When the ministers competed with the Silla palace guards, the envoys from Baekje and Goguryeo were there to watch. Although Silla's move meant to intimidate Baekje and Goguryeo, with the arrival of the Silla princess in Beijing, the relationship between the three kingdoms would inevitably

It will be subtle. Silla intends to unify the three kingdoms of Silla, and the first target of attack must be Baekje. Baekje's military strength is not as good as Silla. If in times of crisis, it appeals to Goguryeo on the basis of the principle of losing lips and teeth, then Goguryeo must think that there is

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, once Silla destroys Baekje, it will definitely join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo. In this way, Goguryeo will definitely perish. In order to prevent Silla from further growing in strength, the other party will definitely take advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty has not yet

After realizing the opportunity, he raised his troops and went south to attack Silla. In this way, our country will definitely be involved. Otherwise, Goguryeo's strength will definitely increase. Although your Majesty is wise and powerful, and although our army is an elite tiger and wolf division, but

Goguryeo, which has greatly increased its offensive strength, will definitely suffer some damage." Lu Zhaoci, Cen Wenwen and others nodded, obviously what Su Dingfang said was not unreasonable.

"It seems that it is not a good thing for me to marry two Silla princesses." Lu Zhaoci showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As the emperor, I am the only one in heaven and earth. Every word and deed of the emperor is the imperial edict, and no one can

It must not be violated. Although he did not know that Silla was so bold and that even the Tang Dynasty was plotted, he would still do it if he were asked to do it again because he was the emperor. The Turks were so powerful back then, but

What happened in the end? Wasn't he destroyed by him? Now even Jieli Khan is fleeing in confusion on the grassland, fearing that his life will be taken by the herdsmen. This is the consequence of disobeying the emperor's edict. Not to mention a Goguryeo

No matter how many dozens of Goguryeo there are, Lu Zhaoci doesn't care at all. If he wants to destroy them, he will destroy them. If he wants to kill them, he will kill them. The Tang Dynasty can tolerate others and has a broad mind, but the most powerful thing about the Tang Dynasty is the sword in his hand.

Create thousands of miles of land for the Tang Dynasty and defeat all enemies that stand in the way of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hmph, how can I allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? Don't say that Goguryeo and our Han people have a deep hatred. How many Han people died on the road to Liaodong, and some of their bones are still in the south of the Liaohe River, becoming the capital of Goguryeo.

.As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I allow this kind of behavior? If Goguryeo is more honest, I can let them live a little longer. If they are not honest, I don't mind coming to kill Yeon Gaesumun now.

"I will destroy his ancestral temple, what can he do to me?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent loomed. Everyone in the hall was awestruck when they saw this, and they did not dare to speak out.

"Your Majesty wants to destroy Goguryeo, and I am willing to be the vanguard." Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I can destroy Goguryeo alone, and I am willing to destroy his clan and destroy it for your Majesty."

His Ancestral Temple. See how he dares to be so arrogant."

"However, what you said is also a question." Lu Zhaoci nodded, but in response to the other party's topic, he moved to another topic. He did not expect that while he was using Silla, the other party was also using Silla.

In using the Tang Dynasty to deter Baekje and Goguryeo, this strategy is of great benefit to a certain extent. At least it has a great advantage against Baekje, but similarly, the new

Luo's goal is Baekje, and Goguryeo is only his ultimate goal. Perhaps some time ago, Silla could have a great advantage, especially after the competition, Silla's training of the army was more directional, and it could be in a long time.

In a short period of time, it was expected to train an elite soldier and defeat Baekje.

But in the later period, as Su Dingfang guessed, everyone understood the truth of the death of lips and teeth, and Goguryeo also understood it. Silla's national power increased greatly after gaining Baekje territory. Although Goguryeo was very strong and had powerful cavalry, it was difficult to defeat Silla.

It didn't happen overnight. What's more, after that, the Tang Dynasty's national strength recovered and it had digested the huge grassland. Attacking Goguryeo was a matter of course. No matter how powerful Goguryeo's national power was, it could not be a joint effort between the two countries. It could even be possible

It is said that Goguryeo was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, let alone the two. There was only one way in front of Goguryeo, and that was to defeat Silla first, occupy Silla territory, and even unify the entire Silla Kingdom. In this way, the opponent

It has some strength to compete with Datang.

"Your Majesty, I believe that our Tang Dynasty should focus on recuperation and recuperation at this time, and we should not start a war lightly, otherwise we may follow the old path of the previous Sui Yang Emperor." Wei Zheng said. He was afraid that Lu Zhaoci would raise troops at this time. Of course,

, The Tang Dynasty was very powerful, but don’t forget that the Tang Dynasty had just recovered from the war and had just ended its attack on the grassland. The grassland was still not very peaceful, with sudden and sudden killings, and other forces on the grassland,

Taking advantage of the defeat of Qibi Heli and others, they tried to occupy the grassland and fill the gaps in the grassland. However, for the vast grassland, these people would do anything. The grassland is so vast. It is not like the Central Plains. It is only ten miles away.

Cities, towns, etc., but grasslands are different. Sometimes there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles. How to attack these tribes? Therefore, although the strength of the Tang Dynasty is very strong, on the grasslands, the Han people are naturally weak. It is conceivable that without five years

In ten years, it will be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to truly occupy the grassland and digest a place like the grassland. At this time, it would be a wrong decision to draw troops to attack Goguryeo. During the Qin Dynasty, the national power was so strong

Yes, but why was it destroyed so quickly? It was because his army was in northern and southern Xinjiang, and his control over the Central Plains was weak, which led to the rebellion of the Sixth Army. Why did the former Sui Dynasty perish? Because of his

The main force went to attack Goguryeo, which led to a emptiness in the country, so some people raised troops to rebel. At this time, the Tang army did not have many troops in Guandong. Even if the imperial court moved the capital eastward in the future, the main force was still in northern Xinjiang, and the army would

Once the attack on Goguryeo is frustrated, smoke may rise on the grassland, and the bloody battle of hundreds of thousands of troops will be ruined.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to pass the time." Cen Wenwen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is only more than ten years since the demise of the previous dynasty. The situation of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Liaodong that year is still vivid in people's minds.

Xin, more than a million people died in Liaodong in those days. The pillars of many families died in Liaodong. In the people's impression, Liaodong is a tomb of the dead. Anyone who goes to Liaodong will definitely die there, even

No bones can be found. At this time, His Majesty wants to conquer Liaodong, but he may not get the approval of the people. Even those soldiers will be afraid of Liaodong and afraid of going to Liaodong. In this way, even the elite division will lose nearly half of it.

The combat effectiveness of the army may repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty. I believe that if we conquer Liaodong first, the first thing to do is to appease the hearts of the soldiers. Otherwise, someone like Wang Bo may appear again.

Your Majesty, please think again." Cen Wenwen's face was stern, and there was a faint look of uneasiness on his face. To be honest, if he could, he would not say these words, because he knew that Lu Zhaoci wanted to be an unprecedented person.

For an emperor, opening up territory and expanding territory is a necessary means for a great emperor. The Tang Dynasty far surpassed the Sui Dynasty and was far beyond what the former Li Dynasty could match. Only in terms of military achievements can it be seen more clearly. A conquest of the grassland achieved victory.

This is many times better than the former Li who sent money and food, and even wanted to give away his daughter in order to curry favor with the grassland. That is the former Sui Dynasty. During the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian once made the grassland surrender under the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang once inspected

Through the Western Regions, the former Sui Dynasty did not conquer Goguryeo and Silla. Now if Lu Zhaoci wants to prove that the Tang Dynasty is far more powerful than the Sui Dynasty, then he will conquer Goguryeo, avenge millions of Han people, and unify the three kingdoms of Silla.

, and became an emperor through the ages.

"This is also a problem." Lu Zhaoci nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face. He thought that in the history books, in this same dynasty, the person in power was not Lu Zhaoci, but the dead Li Shimin.

When he was in power, he also conquered Goguryeo. He had countless soldiers and shining stars, but it also failed. Was it because Li Shimin was not skilled enough? Was it because Li Shimin was giving random orders? Obviously not. In the early Tang Dynasty, the national power was strong, although it was not as good as it is now, but it was far better.

Compared to the Yang Guang period, Li Shimin's military commanding ability is also commendable. He also has many generals under his command, but why did he fail? This has nothing to do with his command, but has something to do with the people's hearts. Those soldiers are

They are government soldiers. In just ten years, these people still have fresh memories of the madness of the Goguryeo people and are still afraid of the road to Liaodong. Through the oral accounts of survivors, they know the cruelty of Liaodong, whether it is the weather or the enemy.

It can kill people at any time, and the Jingguan on the bank of the Liao River is always warning the Central Plains soldiers not to attack Goguryeo, otherwise, there will be another Jingguan on the Liao River. These people are afraid, whether they are generals or soldiers

, all became cautious, so they just stopped at the bank of the Liao River, which completely ruined Li Shimin's reputation. Of course, time is also the best catalyst, which can make people forget all unpleasant things. By the time of Li Shimin's son, the war in Liaodong

Things have long since become a thing of the past, and the national power is extremely strong. Li Zhi, a guy with little ability, relied on the foundation created by his father to hide in Taiyuan and command others to destroy Goguryeo. Is this because Li Zhi is very strong?

?Of course not, but the army under his command is too powerful.

Lu Zhaoci could imagine that if he raised troops to conquer Goguryeo at this time, he might win, but it would definitely be a tragic victory. The soldiers would die a lot, and the domestic economy would become depressed, and many years of achievements would be ruined. Lu Zhaoci could imagine

Zhaoci would not do this, but if he didn't, I'm afraid Silla, a stupid country, would do more stupid things. In order to protect its vested interests, Datang might also get involved in the war.

In other words, the war is no longer dependent on Lu Zhaoci's will, it is definitely going to happen. In this case, the only thing Lu Zhaoci can do is to prepare. The more fully prepared you are, the easier it will be to win in the end.

How should the court prepare?

"First, we must eliminate the people's fear of Liaodong. Only in this way can we win the support of the lower class people and prevent what happened in the late Sui Dynasty. The reason why the peasant uprising occurred in the late Sui Dynasty was because of what happened in Liaodong.

?Just imagine, if the Battle of Liaodong is victorious, will anyone rise up in rebellion? Those aristocratic families will have no soldiers to drive. How could the former Sui Dynasty perish? Second, that is to eliminate the soldiers' fear of Goguryeo. You know

Dejingguan on the Liao River always reminds the soldiers that Liaodong is a dead place and Goguryeo is a powerful dynasty. Look, millions of soldiers from the former Sui Dynasty attacked Liaodong, but what happened in the end? They all became Jingguan. If this

Maybe they will still think so when they attack Liaodong. Third, if they have money, they can continue to stimulate production, stimulate economic development, restore production, and enhance national strength." Lu Zhaoci frowned and raised the pen in front of him.

What was written on the white paper? He needed to consider these things. Only by solving these things could he deal with Goguryeo's attack. In a moment, dense writing was written on the white paper. Although Na Cen Wenwen and others were curious about Lu Zhaoci

There was something written on it, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and there was a faint look of anxiety on Su Dingfang's face. The general only thought about fighting, how could he think of other things?

.However, from the conversations among the people, he knew that it was very difficult to attack Goguryeo and be a vanguard. But he could only wait like this because he did not speak in the main hall.

Right. But he didn't have it, which didn't mean that others didn't have it. The long silence made everyone unbearable. Cen Wenwen smiled bitterly and nodded to Qin Jiudao on the side.

"Your Majesty, Master Cen is waiting for you?" Qin Jiudao, who was next to him, quickly said softly beside Lu Zhaoci. In the main hall, he was the manager of the inner palace, and only he could remind Lu Zhaoci.

"It's difficult." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and thought to himself: "If there was a newspaper, public opinion could be in his own hands. If he publicized the wealth of Liaodong, the stupidity of the Goguryeo people, and cultivated some angry youths, maybe the matter could be solved.

Quite a few. Huh hum newspapers." Lu Zhaoci thought and a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face.
