The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 870 Is it tasteless?
Once the defenders and people in Anshi City know that if the Tang army wins Anshi City, they will massacre the city and kill the people in the city, they will definitely defend Anshi City with all their might. There is no shortage of food and grass, how can the Tang army win with such strength?
From the account promotion to the present, Xuan Shijing has been standing in the corner silently watching these big bosses formulate strategies against Anshicheng, without saying a word. All eyes were attracted by Xuan Shijing.

"Back off, kid, don't talk too much." Cheng Yaojin saw that the atmosphere in the tent was a bit different at this time, and hurriedly shouted to stop Xuan Shijing.

Li Ji is a military expert, and his words and deeds have their own reasons. After breaking the city, they murdered the whole city.

But Xuan Shijing knew that it was precisely because of Li Ji's theory of killing the whole city that the pressure was on others, but the Goguryeo people in Anshi City turned the pressure into motivation, making Tang Jun even more difficult outside Anshi City up.

Yang Wanchun is a hero. The two major powers in Goguryeo now are Quangai Suwen who rebelled against the Gao family, and Yang Wanchun is the representative who sticks to the previous era of Gao Jianwu's reign.

But Gao Huanquan, except for the title of crown prince, has no power of his own in Goguryeo.

Gao Huanquan was just a proton in Chang'an since he was a child. If Gao Jianwu peacefully transferred the power in his hands to Gao Huanquan in the future, the relationship between Gao Huanquan and Datang would be enough for him to sit firmly on the throne of King Rongliu, but Now that Gao Jianwu has not dealt with his previous affairs, he died under the knife of Quan Gai Suwen. Gao Huanquan is of no value to Goguryeo. Take the seat of the king.

"It's okay, Jing'er, let me tell you what you think." His Majesty Li Er said with a serious face, watching Xuan Shijing speak.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Xuan Shijing complicatedly, then lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Anshi City is no different from other cities in Liaodong. There are [-] Goguryeo elite soldiers in the city. Earlier, Yang Wanchun sent [-] Goguryeo soldiers to attack Beisha City. They were divided and converted by the minister and Master Zhang Jian. Now the strength of the city is There are about [-] people. Anshi City is the city where Goguryeo stationed the most troops in Liaodong. You can get a glimpse of it from the warehouses of Liaodong City. One Liaodong city can supply enough food for [-] troops for three months. What about Jian'an City?" Xuan Shijing analyzed slowly: "What I mean is that there is no shortage of food in Anshi City."

"I have no intention of besieging but not attacking." His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.

"What I mean is that there is no shortage of food and people in Anshi City. If the news of the massacre leaks to Anshi City, Anshi City will return to the whole body and fight against the siege of the army. In this way, it will be even more harmful to us. To be unfavorable, not only did not deter others, but it boosted their morale." Xuan Shijing explained.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "It makes sense."

Now that you know your fate after being broken into the city, you have to resist to the end even if you are desperate. Maybe you still have a chance to survive. Tang Jun only has so many people. The city of Anshi is high and the pool is deep. There is nothing invincible.

"So, right now, we want to confuse the defenders of Anshi City, first defeat Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's reinforcements, and then plot Anshi City." His Majesty Li Er came to a conclusion.

The winter in Liaodong made Xuan Shijing wrap a thick leather cloak. Even so, if nothing happened, Xuan Shijing would not easily step out of the tent. A brazier was set up in the tent, which was warm and comfortable. All the firewood is burned, and there is no such breathless carbon gas.

"Master Hou, great victory!" Xue Rengui hurried in from outside the tent.

"En? Where is General Cheng?" Xuan Shijing raised his head and asked.

"Yes." Xue Rengui's cheeks were flushed, whether it was cold or excited: "General Cheng and General Niu defeated Goguryeo's reinforcements at Mount Hua, and Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led more than [-] troops to surrender.

"Another [-] surrendered troops have come. Think about it, there are still more in Liaodong City. Together, they are not a small force." Xuan Shijing sat next to the brazier, added two more pieces of firewood, and used branches Picking out the burning firewood in the brazier: "Come here, sit down and talk."

"It is definitely unrealistic for the huge Liaodong City to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty at once." Xue Rengui sat on the wooden steps on the other side of the brazier, stretched out his hands above the brazier and roasted it. My hands were numb from the cold after being outside for such a long time.

"Liaodong was originally part of my Central Plains dynasty. Goguryeo has lived in Liaodong for so many years, and it is only natural to come back. But you are right. Liaodong has been in the hands of Goguryeo for too long. I want to think about it for a while. It is impossible to take them all back, but as the days go by, they will slowly become naturalized in the Tang Dynasty." Xuan Shijing said: "The Tang Dynasty worked so hard to take down Liaodong, and once the army left, the majority of the population here, They are not from Goguryeo, but how many people in Guanzhong will migrate here in the bitter cold land of Liaodong."

"According to Lord Hou, this place in Liaodong is really tasteless." Xue Rengui said.

"Not necessarily, as long as there are people here, and the court gives some policies, it is still possible to develop." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Look at the map behind you, this Liaodong Peninsula is a good place, Liaodong Peninsula is suitable for building The port, facing Dengzhou and other places across the sea, has made the entire sea area here the inland sea of ​​Datang. For the navy, this is a natural training ground. And the Liaodong Peninsula can be used as a place for Datang to control the three The springboard of the land of Han is not only the land of the Three Hans, but also the country of Wa across the sea."

Xue Rengui didn't know much about Xuan Shijing's words, because he didn't have Xuan Shijing's "vast" experience. There are too many things Xuan Shijing can learn from how to develop the Liaodong Peninsula, but Anshicheng is like a nail nailed here. Really nauseating.

Telling Xue Rengui these words was because Xuan Shijing knew that Xue Rengui in front of him would be sent to Goguryeo by the emperor in the future to preside over all affairs of Goguryeo, and also left a good name in history as a benevolent government of Goguryeo.

"Hou Ye means that after the Tang Dynasty took control of Liaodong, they made every effort to develop the navy?" Xue Rengui was stunned.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, in the future, no matter how the Tang Dynasty expands abroad, it will be inseparable from the navy, not to mention, the Three Hans and the Wa Kingdoms are all under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, but don't believe that these foreigners will Sincerely submit to Datang."
