The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 802
The battle was almost a one-sided massacre. The Goguryeo soldiers who were killed by the Tang army lost their armor and armor, and had no courage to continue fighting, so they chose to surrender on the spot.

More than 5000 vanguard troops all entered the city and took over Beisha City from Goguryeo soldiers. Only then did the people in Beisha City realize that the city they lived in had already fallen into the hands of the suzerain Tang Dynasty, but they still didn’t understand. Why did Datang come to attack his own country so well.

Perhaps the common people are so belatedly aware, or they live a simple life. Whether Gao Jianwu is the emperor of Goguryeo or Quan Gai Suwen is in power, for them, life is still a day-to-day life, and there is no difference.

The flag on the head of Beisha City was replaced with the flag of the Vanguard Army, and the Vanguard Army also began to count the losses.

To Xuan Shijing's relief, among the [-] soldiers from Dongshan County, only one or two were slightly injured, and [-] vanguard soldiers were killed in battle, five of them were killed. This is almost negligible for the capture of Beisha City.

There will always be people who die in war, so there is no need to be sad, and the responsibility on the shoulders of the living is greater. Xuan Shijing has already seen this very clearly when he was in Longxi.

The vanguard army captured Beisha City. Li Daozong took Xuan Shijing and another lieutenant general to the official office of Beisha City immediately, and then posted a notice of Anmin, sending people to take over the granary, treasury and other places in Beisha City.

Xuan Shijing stayed in the government office, while the other lieutenant took people out to investigate the situation in the city.

The records of the residents of Beisha City and the materials of Beisha City are stored in the study of the government office. Xuan Shijing led people to move these materials out and sent them to the hall where Li Daozong was.

"General, the general looked through it roughly. There are not many people in Beisha City, but there are many coolies, and most of these coolies are Han Chinese." Xuan Shijing said.

"Han people?" Li Daozong frowned: "These Goguryeo people dare to arrest my Tang people to work here as coolies, and they will be punished!" Li Daozong slapped the book case with his palm.

"It's not what the general imagined. These people should be the soldiers who conquered Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty. After the defeat, they had no choice but to stay in Liaodong. As a result, these Goguryeo people regarded them as coolies. They built Beisha City and Anshi City. Defense line, now that we have captured Beisha City, we can liberate these people. Another advantage is that these people are now equivalent to the people of our Tang Dynasty. You don't have to worry about them making trouble in the city, but they can monitor the people in the city. The role of those Goguryeo people." Xuan Shijing analyzed.

Li Daozong Fuxu nodded: "That's right, but these people have to send someone to gather and appease them alone. It's been more than ten or twenty years, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable. The importance of Beisha City to us is self-evident. You must not be sloppy." Li Daozong thought for a while, and then shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

"The last general is here!" A sergeant walked in outside the government office and clapped his hands at Li Daozong.

"As the Goguryeo troops in the city descended, immediately repair the walls and gates of Beisha City, and bring more people to watch over them, as well as those Han people who were originally Beisha City. If anyone is willing to repair together, the army will pay for it." Li Daozong said.

"Yes." The sergeant took the order and left.

After a while, the deputy general who went out returned to the government office.

"My lord, there is not much grain and grass in the granaries of Beisha City. According to the calculations of the Goguryeo soldiers who guarded the city in Beisha City, the grain storage in the city does not exceed seven days. Judging from the grain and grass left in the granary, I am afraid that it will be two days later. The troops transporting food and grass from Anshi City will go to Beisha City." The lieutenant general said.

"Sure enough, as expected." Li Daozong stroked his beard and said: "The supply of grain and grass in Beisha City all depends on Anshi City to deliver here. It has already changed hands. In this way, the army from Anshi City will send troops to attack Beisha City. With [-] vanguard troops to defend the city, although there is gunpowder, it is still a bit reluctant. Moreover, the guard of Anshi City Yang Wanchun is also a hard-to-get-together person."

"Anshicheng is a tough nut to crack, and the troops led by Yang Wanchun are also rare elite soldiers and strong generals in Goguryeo. It is indeed not a wise choice to confront them head-on." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and thought: "It is not as good as outsmarting .”

"Oh? How to outsmart him?" Li Daozong asked. Facing Yang Wanchun, Li Daozong still had some headaches, not because he couldn't beat him, but because he was too restricted.

"Those survivors of the former Sui Dynasty have lived in Beisha City for so long, and they should have a good understanding of the habits and language of the Goguryeo people. The prince only needs to replace the flag of the Tang army at the top of the city with the flag of the defenders of Beisha City, and let the defenders The soldiers of the Goguryeo city replaced the armor of the sergeant who defended the Goguryeo city, and a person who was familiar with the Goguryeo language negotiated with the soldiers of Anshicheng who came to deliver food and grass. Why not do it for fun?" Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, my lord, Vice General Xuan is right. Instead of letting the people in Anshicheng find out so easily, it is better to take the opportunity to get some more food and grass." Another deputy general agreed with Xuan Shijing's words.

"Okay, follow Xuanhou's method." Li Daozong said, then looked at the lieutenant general: "Go down quickly and order, and within two days, the gates and walls of Beisha City must be repaired. "

"Yes." The deputy general responded, and then left the mansion.

"Xuanhou is both wise and brave. He really is a hero. The first victory in this battle should belong to Xuanhou." Li Daozong laughed.

"Your Majesty, you are too proud." Xuan Shijing bowed his hands and said humbly.

"However, Beisha City was captured by our army. I'm afraid Yang Wanchun will not be able to hide this matter for a long time. Yang Wanchun has many capable people who came to Beisha City to deliver food and grass this time. After returning, I'm afraid they can see some clues." Li Daozong said.

"Since the prince is worried, let's not let them go back." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"You mean to give this food delivery team halfway." Li Daozong looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "If it goes well, maybe the people in Anshi City can be induced to deliver another batch of food and grass for us."

"How do you say that?" Li Daozong asked.

"The grain and grass were safely delivered to Beisha City, but the team transporting the grain and grass was attacked on the way back. Those who were 'lucky' survived went back and informed Yang Wanchun of the situation. If you were Yang Wanchun, general, what would you think?" Xuan Shijing asked rhetorically.

Li Daozong thought about it for a while, and thought about the situation in Beisha City: "If I were Yang Wanchun, I would definitely feel that the pioneer army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived in Goguryeo."
