Chapter 39 Li Shimin who is too determined to be stable?

[Northwest: Battle of Dangping Tuyuhun]

"Everything is ready, and you must write down everything you have to your Majesty!!!" Fang Xuanling was extremely excited and directed his subordinates to write down every word in the video.

The "oracle" actually described the process of eliminating foreign enemies in such a detailed detail. Isn't this "leaking the secrets" to them?

If you miss this kind of "sense of heaven", wouldn't it be struck by lightning?

[In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin named Li Jing, a famous general, to attack Tuyuhun.]

"Damn it, why is it Lao Li again?" Cheng Yaojin shouted in discontently.

Li Jing glanced at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "Why, are you not convinced by Cheng Sanfu?"

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

When Cheng Yaojin was playing crazy, Li Jing stared at him, and immediately became honest and muttered: "Just talk, what's the point?"

"."

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

At that time, under the instruction of Murong Fuyun, the Tuyuhun army repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty's borders. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Jing, Li Daliang, Xue Wanjun and others to send troops to launch a large-scale attack on Tuyuhun!]

[After receiving the order, Li Jing led a large army deep into the Qinghai area, defeated some of the Tuyuhun troops, and killed the famous Tuyuhun king.

Later, Li Jing led his troops into the uninhabited land of more than 2,000 miles, fought with Khan Murong Fuyun, and captured his name Wang Liang Qu Cong alive.

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

Khan Murong Fuyun later killed himself, but there was also the saying that he was killed by his subordinates.

After Murong Fuyun's death, his son Murong Shun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed Murong Shun as Khan and Prince of Xiping.

At this point, Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.】

"I am worthy of being the war god of my Tang Dynasty!"

"The pharmacist is still amazing!"

"Old Li, it's awesome!"

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

"Invincible! Invincible!!"

【Imperial Expedition: Battle of Goguryeo】

When everyone who was so excited just now suddenly changed their expression when they saw Goguryeo!

You should know that during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goryeo three times, and conquered his country!

Li Shimin actually wanted to attack Goguryeo, which naturally reminds people of bad pasts.

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

Goguryeo has a special geographical location, located in the northeastern region of the Tang Dynasty and the Korean Peninsula. It has many mountains and hills, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.】

[At that time, the powerful Goguryeo minister Quangasuwen killed his monarch and established a puppet king. At this time, Baekje joined forces with Goguryeo to attack Silla, cutting off the access to Silla into the Tang Dynasty.

King Silla was smarter. When he was bullied, he quickly ran to Emperor Taizong of Tang to file a lawsuit. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin sent an envoy to Goguryeo to try to get him to truce.

But Goguryeo did not give "Tian Khan" the face and directly refused the ceasefire.

So, Emperor Taizong of Tang was furious and decided to send troops to attack Goguryeo in person!]

"I'm confused!"

"Your Majesty, you're sloppy!"

"I'm afraid this is not a Goguryeo man's trick?"

Under the speculation of everyone, the video continues to play.

[Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, appointed the Minister of Justice Zhang Liang as the chief general of the Pyongyang Road marching, leading 40,000 troops across the sea from Shandong to Pyongyang; ordered Li Ji as the chief general of the Liaodong Road marching, leading more than 60,000 troops and the Hu people who surrendered to Lan and He prefectures, and directly pointed to Liaodong.

The Tang army advanced along the water and land, gathered in Youzhou, and ordered small countries such as Silla, Baekje, and Khitan to attack Goguryeo in separate ways.]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin personally led the army to conquer the ten cities of Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang, and defeated Gao Yanshou, the general Gao Guli, and Gao Huizhen led the 150,000 army, successfully conquered Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen and 40,000 soldiers.

After that, the Tang army began to concentrate on attacking Anshi City, but the city walls of Anshi City are high and thick, and the people in the city also fully support the defending soldiers. Relying on natural danger and harmony, the Tang army has no choice but to do anything for a while.]

[At this time, many ministers believed that Goguryeo's soldiers were out of their homes and that Pyongyang City would inevitably be empty. They suggested bypassing Anshicheng and directly attacking Pyongyang.

However, Li Ji was worried that the food route would be cut off by the Goguryeo army after crossing An City; while Changsun Wuji believed that the emperor was in charge of the army, seeking stability but not danger, and he should first break through An City in order to be safe.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin ordered the continued besiege of Anshicheng, but it could not be captured for a long time, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

In the end, the weather became colder and colder, the grass was dry and the water was frozen, and the food and grass were about to be exhausted. The army and the horses could not stay for a long time. In desperation, they had to retreat and return to the court.

And Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin failed to destroy Goguryeo until his death.

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

And everyone was silent.

At the same time, a question arose in everyone's mind, that is, "Why didn't the 'Military God' Li Jing follow Li Shimin to go to the expedition to Goguryeo? Instead, it 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 of the Tang Dynasty.

However, in everyone's mind, it is obvious that Li Jing is the best candidate.

"In the 18th year of Zhenguan, the pharmacist seems to be in his seventies." Someone expressed the biggest guess in everyone's heart.

He is in his seventies, and even if he is still alive, his body may not be able to support him in his expedition to Goguryeo.

In the end, Li Shimin never won Goguryeo in his entire life. Could it be that it is really the nemesis of the Central Plains dynasty?

"If Old Li could live twenty years longer, no matter whether he was Goguryeo or the dwarf dog, he would be slaughtered and thrown to feed the dog!!!" Old Cheng's eyes were a little red, and he deliberately used his loud voice to cover up the grief and unwillingness in his heart.

[The biggest reason for failing to destroy Goguryeo is that Li Shimin is older and has lost the determination and courage of commanding operations when he was young. He is too determined to win by stability and cannot win by surprise, which delays the opportunity for combat and ultimately fails to successfully destroy Goguryeo.

After this battle, although Li Shimin failed to destroy Goguryeo, the other party also suffered heavy losses, and the Tang Dynasty also recovered most of the prefectures and counties in Liaodong.

Therefore, this battle can only be said to have not completed the strategic goal of destroying Goguryeo, but not a defeat.]

That Li Shimin, who has always been famous for his boldness, flexibility and maneuverability in his military use, would have the day when he was too steady and missed the opportunity to fight?

If it weren't for the news that Su Qian broke out, I'm afraid no one would believe it at all.

"Your Majesty, will there be times when you are too determined?"

"If you can't, let me laugh for a while."

"Old Cheng, we are Your Majesty's ministers, so we can't make fun of you!"
