Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 247 Concentrating the power of the whole country to eliminate the confidant's troubles!
[According to the criminal law of Goguryeo at that time, if you commit the crime of treason, you will be roasted with fire.

The general process is that a group of people took turns to greet the prisoner with torches, and the rebels would be killed when they were roasted to death, and the criminal's family members had to be confiscated as slaves. The end must be very miserable .

But now, their eldest brother has begun to suspect that he has rebelled, and the future fate can be imagined.

So, the two brothers followed suit and rebelled directly.

Yuan Nanjian first forced King Gaozang to seal himself as Mo Lizhi, and after turning around, he sent an army to crusade against his eldest brother Yuan Boy.

Facing his younger brothers, Boy Yuan was not a vegetarian either. He quickly pulled together a team, and relying on his prestige and strength, he captured at least six cities, and prepared to fight hard against his younger brothers. 】

【However, after a few days of fighting, Boy Yuan suddenly realized that he seemed to be no match for his younger brothers!

So, the Yuan boy hurriedly sent his son Yuan Xiancheng to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help (I suspect this is also the idea of ​​the Tang Dynasty spy!)]

"Hahaha! This man is so talented!" Li Zhi laughed loudly and kept patting his thigh.

But it was strange, he patted it several times in a row, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

Just when Li Zhi was wondering, Wu Zetian next to him said, "Your Majesty, you are a little heavy handed. Your legs are numb from your slap."

"Ah, I'll rub it for you."

"."

[Suddenly seeing Yuan Xiancheng and learning of the civil strife in Goguryeo, Li Zhi could hardly contain his excitement.

In November of that year, Li Zhi issued an imperial edict, appointing Li Ji, who was already 73 years old, as the general manager of the Liaodong Road Army, leading Xue Rengui, Qibi Heli, Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan, Guo Daifeng and almost all the fierce generals in the country. An army of more than 50 troops pressed down on Liaodong with overwhelming momentum.

It can be seen that Li Zhi is determined to take advantage of his illness to kill him!
In fact, this was Datang's last battle against Goguryeo, and it was also the largest and longest-lasting war of annihilating the country! 】

[In the second year of Qianfeng (AD 667), Li Ji led an army of more than [-] troops and finally reached the front line of Liaodong.

Li Ji bypassed Liaoze, which was [-] miles wide, and the Great Wall, which was [-] miles long, and then went straight to Xincheng, the important town of Goguryeo in Liaodong.

The new city is built on Mount Gaoer, about 200 meters long from east to west, 900 meters wide from north to south, and the highest point is [-] meters above sea level. 】

[Even Li Ji couldn't help but feel very troubled after seeing the new city.

So before the start of the attack, he issued an order to attack the whole army: "Xincheng is the western fortress of Goguryeo, no matter what the price is, it must be taken down."

Subsequently, the Tang army set up camp in the southwest of Mount Gaoer, ready for a protracted war.

But what was unexpected was that just as Tang Jun laid down his position to prepare for a protracted war, a big traitor named Shi Fuchou suddenly appeared in the new city.

Master Chou saw that the Tang army outside the city was mighty and strong, and knew that he was no match, so he tied up the guards of the new city, opened the city gate and surrendered. 】

[Li Ji suddenly got a big gift, so he was naturally overjoyed.

Not only did he swiftly take over the new city, but he also took the opportunity to send a large army to attack everywhere. In a short period of time, he successively conquered sixteen cities around the new city.

After opening up the situation, Li Ji divided his army of more than [-] troops into two groups.

Led by Qibi Heli, Xue Rengui, Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and other strong generals, they stayed in Liaodong and attacked other cities.

Ling Yiyi was led by him personally and drove directly to Black Bone City, an important town beside the Yalu River, to prepare for the next step of crossing the river. 】

[After Li Ji left, the situation around Xincheng was actually still very grim, and there were still nearly 20 enemy troops around.

Among them, 15 Koguryo troops were stationed in the upper reaches of the Liao River, such as Jinshan and Fuyu; in addition, tens of thousands of Mohe soldiers were stationed around Nansu City, more than 60 miles east of Xincheng. 】

[The Mohe people were the people who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty when Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, and were buried alive by Li Shimin with [-] captives. They were also the ancestors of the later Jurchens and the Manchus.

Facing the current predicament, Qibi Heli decided to pick the weak persimmons first, take down Nansu City first, and then go back and deal with the 15 Goguryeo army.

Qi Bi He Li then left Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others to defend the new city, while he led Xue Rengui to kill Nansu City.

The current combat effectiveness of the Mohe soldiers is still not very good. Fighting against the Tang army with luxurious equipment and much higher combat effectiveness is basically the type that will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Qibi Heli and Xue Rengui fought and won as they fought. They captured seven cities in a short period of time and killed more than 1 people.

However, just as they were victorious, the danger behind them also followed. 】

[The 15 troops of Koguryo learned that the Tang army was divided, so they quickly surrounded the new city while the defense weakened.

However, Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others who stayed behind had nothing to do with the Goguryeo army. It seemed that it was a matter of time before the new city was breached by the Goguryeo army. 】

[Qibi Heli was taken aback when he received the news from Xincheng, and hurriedly asked Xue Rengui to lead the army back to rescue, while he led other troops to continue fighting against the Mohe soldiers.

Xue Rengui also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately led his people to run day and night, running for more than 60 miles, and finally rushed to the city before the new city was captured. 】

[At this moment, the Goguryeo army is attacking the city wholeheartedly, and they are unaware of Xue Rengui who suddenly appeared behind them.

The red-eyed Xue Rengui didn't even care about taking a break, and directly led his army into Gao Jun's camp. After a quick charge, the ground was full of Goguryeo corpses.

The war horses of the Tang army clashed wantonly in the Goguryeo army formation, and the Goguryeo people were killed crying for their parents and mothers, and the screams kept coming and going, which was horrible.

When Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others in the new city saw this scene, their morale was greatly boosted. They immediately opened the city gate and led the defenders in the city to kill them from the mountain.

Finally, the Goguryeo army was defeated by the Tang army, leaving only countless corpses.

Facing the defeated Goguryeo people all over the mountains and plains, if we don't beat the dogs in the water now, when will we wait? !

Xue Rengui asked Gao Kan to lead his troops to hunt down the escaped Gao Jun first, while he himself took a rest and followed closely behind. 】

[The two sides chased after each other and raced for more than three hundred miles.After coming to Jinshan, the defeated Goguryeo army finally couldn't run.

They breathed a sigh of relief, arranged their formation, and waved their machetes to find Tang Jun desperately.

It is said that the poor should not chase after them. Seeing the Goguryeo people being chased so anxiously, their eyes are red, and they are in the posture of jumping over the wall in a hurry.

However, Gao Kan was besieged by Goguryeo and lost his mind, vowing to take the head of Goguryeo to comfort his wounded heart.

So Gao Kan didn't care about the art of war and taboos at all, and directly led the army towards the Goguryeo army's formation. 】

[However, the side that fights to the death will often burst out with great potential.

Under the desperate resistance of the Goguryeo army, the Tang army led by Gao Kan was quickly defeated.

Tang Jun, who was still chasing people away just now, is now the one being chased away. The ups and downs of life are so fast, it's really exciting! 】
