Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 914
The straw in Li Shimin's mouth was sizzling, and he couldn't bear to put down a coconut after he finished sucking it. "Master Changsun just came back from Liaodong, and said that the Goguryeo people had already smelled the breath of war. These people were very frightened. Gao Jianwu gave Quan Gaisu Director Wen built the Great Wall of Liaodong, from Fuyu in the north to the sea in the south, more than a thousand miles away, and 10 people were recruited from all over the country to build a thousand-mile Great Wall in Liaodong!"

He took two more puffs, but couldn't get any more out. Li Shimin gave up reluctantly and put down the coconut.

The servant came to collect it.

He also specifically confessed, "The princess said that the coconut juice should not be thrown away after drinking. There is still a layer of very tender coconut meat on the inner wall. Go and cut the coconut shell with a knife, and take out the coconut meat inside, which can be used with Steam glutinous rice with coconut rice, or use it to stew chicken soup."

"The Goguryeo people want to build the Great Wall in Liaodong, isn't it a lie?" Hou Junji felt a little strange.

"The Goguryeo people have already mobilized the whole country to build the Great Wall, recruiting strong men everywhere, and even the Goguryeo army has basically been transferred to Liaodong now. For this reason, they have reached peace treaties with Silla and Baekje."

The Tang Dynasty was preparing for the war with great fanfare, and the Goguryeo people were not fools, not to mention that Qin Lang had previously slapped them loudly and abruptly, and captured Changdao and Beisha with a sneak attack.Afterwards, Datang was also very rascal, forcibly occupying this Beisha. After this loud slap in the face, how could the Goguryeo people not be vigilant?
Immediately everyone understood that the Central Plains is no longer the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they have now freed up their hands.

When Yi Nan sent envoys to Pyongyang to find Gao Jianwu's secret merchants to form an alliance, Gao Jianwu agreed without hesitation. Although some Goguryeo people thought that this move would lead to the Tang Dynasty's crusade, if you don't agree, they won't beat you ?

Yuan Gai Suwen was humiliated by Qin Lang in Chang'an Dynasty and Tang Dynasty before, and was even captured by Qin Lang Jiemeng in Changdao. He has always resented Datang, and often instigated Tang threat theory in Goguryeo.

It was also under Yuan Gai Suwen’s proposition that Goguryeo decided to fight against the Tang Dynasty. However, in order to avoid being driven into Pyongyang by the commander of the Han army in the Central Plains like when the Sui conquered Liaodong, Yuan Gai Suwen proposed a plan to build the Great Wall plan of.

The plan is also simple. The Goguryeo people deployed a large number of troops on the border along the Liaohe River in Liaodong, and built a large number of mountain fortress defenses on the long border of Changli, relying on mountains and river valleys.So now it is only necessary to connect these fortresses and add some fortresses and beacons, then a more perfect and strong defense line of thousands of miles can be formed.

In this way, the Tang army can be prevented from driving straight in, and the enemy can be kept out of the country.

Goguryeo was actually very experienced in fighting the Central Plains before. From the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, they fought for hundreds of years, relying on their mountain city defense system.

To put it bluntly, it means shrinking and resisting. After all, Liaodong is a thousand miles away, with ice and snow in winter and spring, and summer and autumn are prone to rain and waterlogging.

Trading space for time is a magic weapon for Goguryeo people.

Depending on the location and timing, no matter how strong the army of the Central Plains is, if a large army comes to attack, it will be very difficult to provide logistics. If it is delayed for a long time, they will collapse without attacking.If fewer people came, then the Goguryeo people would be able to survive and win if they waited for work with ease and stood by for help.

To put it bluntly, I just don't fight you head-on, you come and I hide, the dangerous mountain cities will make the attackers very headache, if they don't take it down, they will go deep, the logistics and food can't come, the army's back is not safe, the Sui army 30 Wan Dajun went straight to Pyongyang, and in the end there were only [-] defeated, but that's all.

As for the hard attack, Yang Guang's army of more than 100 million made a hard attack for half a year, but he failed to break through the defense network of Liaodong's mountain city.

This time Gao Jianwu is going to be more ruthless and build a wall to connect all the large and small mountain cities in Liaodong, without giving you the Tang people a chance.

Changsun Wuji only smiled when he heard it.

"The Goguryeo people seem to be guilty of thieves, but it is not easy to build such a Great Wall of more than a thousand miles, right? With the national power of Goguryeo, even if the whole country builds the Great Wall, how many people can be mobilized to repair it? 30, 50 , or 100 million?"

100 million is the limit. Goguryeo can draw 100 million people to build the Great Wall, but if it does so, the people of Goguryeo will also seek their own death. Such a small country with a population of several million can forcefully draw 100 million people to build the Great Wall. , which has an absolutely huge impact on Goguryeo.

Their agriculture may be delayed, not to mention livestock, handicrafts, etc.

Even if the Goguryeo people took advantage of the slack season to recruit people to build the Great Wall, but it was far away on the border of Liaodong, and the distance between them was so long that it would take a lot of time to go back and forth on the road. The Great Wall would have to be built until the Year of the Monkey?

And if it can't be repaired as soon as possible, then what's the point of rebuilding the Great Wall?
Fang Xuanling, who returned to the Zhengshitang, also smiled and said it was a good thing.

"Goguryeo really wants to build the Great Wall, which is definitely a great thing for Datang. I think that in this way, we can consider putting off sending troops to attack the Goguryeo people, and let them build it."

Hou Junji was puzzled and asked Fang Xuanling, "Fang Gong is confused. Could it be that they should calmly build the Great Wall? The Great Wall really needs to be built, and it will be difficult for us to attack Goguryeo. Then the Liaodong Mountain City There are so many, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if they are connected together, it will be even more difficult to attack."

"We don't kill them while they haven't repaired, and give him time to repair?"

Fang Xuanling laughed.

"Hou Xianggong, what is the war? It is not just the military strategy before the battle, but also the strength of the country. It is money, food, weapons, and population. Goguryeo has a population of several million, and it is considered a tyrant in the poor mountains and rivers of Liaodong. , and can often bully Silla Baekje on Samhan Island, or Mohe Zhuhu in Baishan Heishui, but if you compare it with the tens of millions of people in my Tang Dynasty, it is really nothing!"

"Besides, Goguryeo is in a barren land, half farming, animal husbandry, half fishing and hunting, and it is still very backward. After the Goguryeo people captured the Liaodong of the Han Dynasty, it took hundreds of years to build hundreds of large and small mountain fortresses. Now they are delusional Don’t Hou Gong think their idea is too big to build another Great Wall?”

Changsun Wuji ruthlessly mocked Hou Junji, "If Chen Guogong doesn't understand, he should learn more and listen more. He went to attack the army, followed by the enemy, and then attacked the soldiers. He only knows how to fight and charge, and he can only be a commander of a hundred men." you."

"Elder grandson, do you understand?"

"Hahaha, you are the only one who doesn't understand, Mr. Fang. The meaning of Fang Xiang is very simple. The Goguryeo people are very scared now, so they plan to build the Great Wall of Liaodong with the whole country. But, such a Great Wall cannot be built in a day or two. It will cost a lot to build such a Great Wall. With Goguryeo’s family fortune, this Great Wall will consume them. So we don’t need to rush to attack now, just bluff and let the Goguryeo people rush to build the Great Wall. We don’t need to do anything, just watch the Goguryeo people torment. With their little wealth, they will not be able to see the bottom of their torment within three to five years. At that time, the power of the country will be exhausted, and there will even be a famine. , Goguryeo is bound to be in turmoil, at that time, my Great Tang will come out with the king's teacher again, slander the people and punish crimes, and a war can be evened!"

Hou Junji looked disdainful, "I only know that the fruits of victory can only be picked by myself, how can I just sit under a tree and wait for them to fall?"

However, Li Shimin said, "What the house age and the auxiliary machine said is reasonable. Think about how Yang Guang recruited millions of soldiers and sent millions of civilians to conquer Liao. How strong was the Sui Dynasty in seven years? It can be said that today I am in Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, They still can't reach the seven-year prosperity of the great cause, but Yang Guang's army of one million conquered Liao, and all the tossing, the whole world is turned upside down!"

At the time of the Sui Dynasty, there were 890 million registered households and nearly 5000 million registered population, not including those who were not registered. Just such a powerful dynasty mobilized millions of soldiers and millions of civilians in the conquest of Liao, and then collapsed.

Countless young and strong people are rushing to conquer Liao, resulting in the barren fields and the emptiness of the interior. The country and the people are all transferred to Liaodong.

The Sui Dynasty was so strong that it couldn't bear it, but could Goguryeo survive?
Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "During the Warring States period, when the six countries attacked Qin, some people offered the strategy of exhausting Qin, and sent masters of water control to Qin to offer them the strategy of Zhengguo Canal, and asked the Qin people to build Zhengguo Canal to consume all of them. National power exhausts its people. The Goguryeo people want to build the Great Wall, of course we have to support it and let them build it, overhaul it!"

The monarchs and ministers are all old foxes, and their smiles are extremely sinister.

"Add three thousand troops to Niu Jinda in Beisha, and then another two thousand troops to Changdao, let Niu Jinda train his soldiers to show some momentum, and also transfer the right Xiaowei general Cheng Mingzhen to be the governor of Yingzhou."

The emperor undoubtedly wanted to put some more pressure on the Goguryeo people so that they would be more motivated to build the Great Wall.

Hou Junji was not convinced, "But if the Goguryeo people really build the Great Wall, it will be difficult to fight if they want to fight."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Thinking about it now, Qin Lang's previous capture of Beisha City was not a fool's errand. This Beisha City is located at the junction of water and land. Now the Goguryeo people want to build the Great Wall along the Liaohe River, but this Beisha City is exactly where they want to build it. The Great Wall is behind the Great Wall, and it is still at the key point of the Bohai sea route. We now occupy Beisha City and Changdao in the west sea. This is like two knives on the waist of the Goguryeo people. They built the Great Wall of Thousand Miles, but we have already left two small gates on their Great Wall, tell me, do we still have to worry about it?"

"Then what if the Goguryeo people came to seize Beisha while building the Great Wall?"

"If they really have the guts, they can just come and grab it. I don't believe that Quangai Suwen has Qin Lang's ability. Beisha City is in the hands of Niu Jinda. I believe that even if Quangai Suwen brings 10 people here, he will be able to fight against him." It may not be won."

If you really want to lead 10 people to seize it, Datang will not just sit idly by, and just send troops from Dengzhou to rescue them across the sea. Wouldn't it be better to come and wipe out the enemy under the strong city?
