Chapter 39 Li Shimin, who is too cautious?

[Northwest: Dangping Tuyuhun Battle]

"Everything is ready, be sure to write down every single word for His Majesty!!!" Fang Xuanling was so excited that he directed his subordinates to write down every single word in the video.

The "Oracle" actually described the process of eliminating foreign enemies in such detail. Isn't this "leaking the secret" to them!

If this kind of "secret" is missed, wouldn't it be struck by lightning?
[In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin named Li Jing to attack Tuyuhun. 】

"Damn it, why is it Lao Li again?" Cheng Yaojin yelled unconvinced.

Li Jing gave Cheng Yaojin a sideways look, and asked, "Why, you 'Cheng Sanfu' are not convinced?"

Both of them are old friends for many years, and they know each other well, and Cheng Yaojin admires and respects Li Jing very much.

Cheng Yaojin was glared at by Li Jing when he was playing tricks, and immediately calmed down, muttering: "It's just talking, why is it so fierce?"

"."

[Tuyuhun is mainly active in the Qilian Mountains in the northwest and the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

At that time, under the instruction of Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun, the Tuyuhun army repeatedly invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. The unbearable Tang Taizong Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Jing, Li Daliang, Xue Wanjun and others to send troops to attack Tuyuhun! 】

[After Li Jing received the order, he led his army deep into the Qinghai area, defeated part of Tuyuhun's army, and beheaded the famous king of Tuyuhun.

Later, Li Jing led his troops into the uninhabited land of more than 2000 miles, fought against Khan Murong Fuyun, and captured his name Wang Liang Qucong alive.

Khan Murong Fuyun fled all the way to the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, but the Tang army still went deep into the desert to pursue, and finally drove Murong Fuyun to only a few hundred people.

Khan Murong Fuyun later committed suicide, but it is also said that he was killed by his subordinates.

After Murong Fuyun's death, his son Murong surrendered the whole country to the Tang Dynasty by the way, and Tang Taizong made Murong Shun Khan and King of Xiping County.

So far, Tuyuhun has become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. 】

"As expected of the military god of my Great Tang!"

"Pharmacist, it's still amazing!"

"Lao Li, you are awesome!"

"I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, invincible!!"

"Invincible! Invincible!!"

【Royal Expedition: The Battle of Goguryeo】

Seeing Goguryeo, everyone who was still rejoicing just now suddenly changed their expressions!
You know, during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang conquered Goryeo three times and confiscated his own country!
And Li Shimin actually wanted to attack Goguryeo, which naturally reminds people of the bad past.

[In the 18th year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong sent troops to Liaodong and launched a war to attack Goguryeo.

Goguryeo has a special geographical location. It is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty and the Korean Peninsula. It is mountainous and hilly, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. 】

[At that time, Quan Gai Suwen, the power minister of Goguryeo, killed the king and established a puppet king.At this time, Baekje joined forces with Goguryeo to attack Silla, cutting off Silla's access to the Tang Dynasty.

The king of Silla was smarter. When he was bullied by others, he hurried to Tang Taizong to complain. Tang Taizong Li Shimin sent envoys to Goguryeo to try to get him to stop the war.

But Goguryeo didn't give "Tian Khan" face, and directly rejected the truce.

So, in a rage, Emperor Taizong decided to send troops to conquer Goguryeo himself! 】

"Confused!"

"Your Majesty, you are being hasty!"

"I'm afraid this is not a trick of the Goguryeo people?"

Under everyone's guess, the video screen continued to play,

[Tang Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ordered Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to be the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March, leading 6 troops across the sea from Shandong to Pyongyang; he ordered Li Ji to be the general manager of the Liaodong Road March, leading more than [-] troops, and the two prefectures of Lanzhou and Hezhou surrendered. The Hu people pointed directly at Liaodong.

The Tang army marched by land and water, gathered in Youzhou, and ordered Silla, Baekje, Khitan and other small countries to attack Koguryo together. 】

[Tang Emperor Taizong Li Shimin personally conquered ten cities of Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang, and defeated the 15 besieged Goguryeo generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. Wan Dajun successfully captured Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen and [-] sergeants.

After that, the Tang army began to concentrate on attacking Anshi City. However, the walls of Anshi were high and thick, and the people in the city also fully supported the defenders. 】

[At this time, many ministers believed that the Goguryeo soldiers came out in full force, and Pyongyang must be empty. They suggested bypassing Anshicheng and directly taking Pyongyang.

However, Li Ji was worried that the Koguryo army would cut off the grain road if he crossed Anshi; while Changsun Wuji believed that the emperor's imperial conquest, seeking stability rather than danger, should break through Anshi first in order to be safe.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ordered to continue the siege of Anshi City, but the attack could not be completed for a long time, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

In the end, the weather was getting colder, the grass was dry and the water was freezing, and the food and grass were about to run out. The army and horses could not stay for a long time, so they had no choice but to retreat and return to the court.

And Tang Taizong Li Shimin, until his death, failed to destroy Goguryeo. 】

"I failed?" Li Shimin stared at the light curtain in disbelief.

And everyone fell silent.

At the same time, a question arose in everyone's mind, that is, "Why didn't Li Jing, the 'God of War', go with Li Shimin to go to Goguryeo? Instead, he was replaced by Li Ji?"

It's not that Li Ji is worse than Li Jing. Although it is indeed a little worse, Li Ji is still one of the top commanders in Datang.

But in everyone's mind, it was obvious that Li Jing was the best candidate.

"In the 18th year of Zhenguan, the pharmacist seems to be over 70." Someone said the biggest guess in everyone's mind.

He is over 70 years old, even if he is still alive, I am afraid that his body will not be able to support his expedition to Goguryeo.

Li Shimin never won Goguryeo in his whole life. Could it be that it was really the nemesis of the Central Plains Dynasty?

"If Lao Li can live 20 years longer, no matter whether it is a Goguryeo or a dwarf dog, they will all be slaughtered and thrown to the dogs!!!" Lao Cheng's eyes were a little red, and he deliberately used a loud voice to cover up the grief in his heart And unwilling.

[The biggest reason for not being able to destroy Goguryeo is that Li Shimin is old, and he has lost the determination and courage to command operations when he was young.

After this battle, although Li Shimin failed to destroy Goguryeo, the opponent also suffered heavy losses, and Datang also recovered most of the counties in Liaodong.

Therefore, this battle can only be said to have failed to achieve the strategic goal of destroying Goguryeo, but it cannot be said to be a defeat. 】

Li Shimin, who has always been famous for his bold, flexible and out-of-the-way deployment of troops, will have a day when he is so cautious that he misses the opportunity to fight?
If it weren't for the news from Su Qian, no one would believe it.

"Your Majesty, there are times when you are too cautious?"

"No, let me laugh for a while."

"Old Cheng, we are His Majesty's courtiers, we can't make fun of Puchi!!"
