The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1251 Goguryeo

Since it was a severe winter at this time, and the area in the western part of Liaoning was still freezing cold, dripping water into ice, then the eastern part of Liaodong, which was even colder than western Liaoning, was completely covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles. It was obviously not a good time to send troops at this time, even if The Han army had winter clothes, and they couldn't support fighting in Liaodong.

Therefore, Liu Yin did not choose to send troops at this time, but made full preparations and set the time for sending troops in the spring of the next year.

At this time, Youzhou, after more than a year of recovery, has already achieved initial results. When Murong Xianbei retreated, almost all towns and villages except Jixian, Yuyang, and Changli were burned down. After leaving the tragic and uninhabited land, this blood feud must naturally be demanded from Murong Xianbei.

However, Liu Yin still has to think carefully about marching to Liaodong.Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and Duanbu Xianbei were already maimed in the First Battle of Liaoxi. They abandoned their base in Liaoxi, fled to Liaodong, and took refuge in Koguryo. The only one who can be called an opponent is the native Goguryeo.

In fact, Goguryeo is not a strong opponent. Compared with the Xiongnu Xianbei who lived in the desert, Goguryeo, which lives in the northeast corner, is much weaker. At most, it will disturb the Liaodong area. major threat.

Goguryeo originated in Puyu. In the Western Han Dynasty, Fuyu Prince Ju Mong fled to Goguryeo County, Xuantu County because he failed to compete with other princes for the throne, and established another country there, named Goguryeo.

Since the founding of Goguryeo, it has been fighting endlessly with Fuyu Kingdom. Fuyu Kingdom is in the north, Goguryeo is in the south, and borders the Liaodong counties of the Han Dynasty, so the Liaodong counties are often invaded by it.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaodong was occupied by the separatist forces of the Gongsun clan. Due to the strength of the Gongsun clan, Goguryeo invaded many times, but failed to win.

However, after Gongsun Yuan was wiped out by Sima Yi, Goguryeo became rampant again and invaded Liaodong again. Later, Wei Guo sent a large army to conquer Goguryeo, destroyed Wandu City, and Goguryeo was severely damaged.However, Goguryeo can be said to be an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, they not only rebuilt the Wandu City, but also invaded Liaodong again when the Jin State was on the verge of death, and captured many cities in Liaodong.

If that nation is the most insignificant, it is estimated that Goguryeo is unmatched by anyone. In terms of combat power, it can't beat the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, or the army of Wei State, but it can always find suitable opportunities and constantly harass Liaodong. The county is like a piece of brown sugar, sticky and sticky, it can't be shaken off, and it can't be destroyed. It really makes the Central Plains Dynasty a headache.

After all, Liaodong is too far away from the Central Plains. In many cases, the Central Plains dynasty is flawless. Especially when the fierce battle in the Central Plains is in full swing, no one can distract themselves from thinking about Liaodong. This undoubtedly gave Goguryeo a chance. It has been able to feel like a duck to water in Liaodong time and time again.

Ji Han has already unified the Central Plains and pacified the desert. How to punish the stubborn disease of Koguryo in Liaodong is an urgent problem for Liu Yin to solve.Although Goguryeo has never become the great enemy of the Central Plains dynasty, and its army has never reached the west of Liaoning, but its scourge to Liaodong has never stopped. If Goguryeo is not resolved, it will be impossible to maintain a stable northeast border.

What's more, now Goguryeo and Murong Xianbei and other Xianbei remnants are colluding together. In order to prevent Murong Xianbei and other remnants from resurgence, Liu Yin must also march into Liaodong to eliminate this scourge.

But when dealing with Goguryeo, one cannot sweep all the way like dealing with Tuoba Xianbei, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, and finally force Xianbei to surrender.

The reason is that although the Mengxi grassland is vast and boundless, it is flat. No matter where the Xianbei fled, the cavalry of the Han army could always catch up, and they had nowhere to escape.

But Goguryeo is different. Their territory is almost all in Changbai Mountain. The vast virgin forest is almost a natural maze. It's searched out.

This is probably the reason why Goguryeo is still alive after repeated heavy losses. Back then, Gongsun's army and Wei's army broke through the capital of Goguryeo twice, but they could not completely destroy Goguryeo.The Goguryeo people hibernate in the deep mountains and old forests, protected by primeval forests. Naturally, Gongsun's army and Wei's army can't do anything about them. Harassing the counties in eastern Liaodong made the Han people angry and hated but helpless.

Liu Yin wanted to deal with Goguryeo this time, so naturally he couldn't think that after breaking Goguryeo's Wandu City, he thought it was a great success and the class teacher returned to the court like the previous Wei State.If you want to fight, you have to beat hard, and really hurt the Goguryeo people, so that they never dare to give birth to the heart of Liaodong.

Therefore, in terms of the number of troops used, Liu Yin could not attack Tuoba Xianbei like he did when he dealt with Tuoba Xianbei.For a wretched nation like Goguryeo, it is estimated that when they saw Jihan's mighty army attacking, their first thought was not how to resist but how to escape. The military operation was undoubtedly a failure, because it was impossible for Liu Yin to put so many troops in Liaodong, but when you left, the Goguryeo people came back to attack again, and the situation in Liaodong would inevitably fall into a deadlock.

Therefore, Liu Yin did not prepare too many troops to march into Liaodong. The three cavalry armies of the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Qinglong Army, and the White Tiger Army, plus the three infantry armies of the Tiger Infantry Army, Wudang Fei Army, and Yang'an Army, had a total strength of [-]. Yu people.

9 people are neither too many nor too few, and they are just on the same day.If there are too few, it will be more difficult to deal with the remnants of Goguryeo and Xianbei. After all, there are tens of thousands of Xianbei remnants such as Murong Xianbei who fled to Liaodong. The exact number of Goguryeo’s troops is not clear, but definitely not less than one hundred thousand.Too many words may make the Goguryeo people feel afraid, and they will be timid before fighting. If Goguryeo retreats before the battle, it will be bad.

The 9 Han army entered Liaodong, which could also reduce the pressure on logistics supplies. After all, Liaodong is still thousands of miles away from Jixian County, Youzhou, and food, grass and supplies are also a headache.
