Chapter 447 Arrival in Anshi

When the King of Goguryeo arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that Gae Yeon So Moon was also preparing to go out. Even if he didn't come, Gae Yeon So Moon would probably have to go to the palace.

In total, the two have been fighting for a long time. Let alone going to each other's side. Even if they had a peaceful conversation, it was only once on the city wall. The other times were tense, but now the Tang army is advancing too much. It was quick, so I had to discuss this matter carefully.

Regardless of whether it was Li Shimin or Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, both of them attacked Goguryeo with great momentum, but their progress could not keep up with Li Xiang. Only a few days had passed, and Li Xiang had already captured Baiyan City. If If Li Xiang continues to march, he will soon reach the Datong River. Although many Goguryeo generals are boasting that the defense line of the Datong River is impregnable, no one knows what is going on than these two guys.

Goguryeo has been in civil strife for such a long time, and they have not focused on the defense line of the Datong River. Many people are just trying to save face. Take the financial allocation as an example, 60% is used for internal fighting, and the rest Official salaries accounted for another 20%, and in the end only 20% could be used for military purposes.

Even if the people below have the ability to manage money, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. It is impossible for you to create money, so the Datong River defense line cannot resist it at all.

No one knows what the two discussed. They only know that after the two discussed, the King of Goguryeo sent his brother Gaoxian, King of Hanjiang, to the front line to reach an agreement with the Tang Dynasty.

Gai Yuan Suwen also said that it will be at least half a month from our side. Some people may not know the speed of Li Xiang's movements. If you know clearly, he may continue to attack cities and territories in the next half month. , so we have to transmit it to Brother Fei on the front line first, and then let King Hanjiang rush over quickly. This may be able to preserve the defense line of Datongjiang River, otherwise we have to wait for Li Xiang to come over.

As for divine protection and the like, ordinary people may believe this, but the two of them are the leaders of Goguryeo. How can they get any divine protection before they have no strength? In the past, whether it was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty or Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo's army remained intact, and fighting on the mainland had some bonuses, so they were able to win.

But now the army is in shambles. Although there are still some who can fight, they have not been paid for such a long time. Do you expect them to work hard for you?

After Hanjiang King Gaoxian received the imperial edict, he thought about fainting. If he fainted, maybe he wouldn't have to do this. Everyone knew that the Tang Dynasty was coming fiercely and lost Baiyan City in a short period of time. That was the most defensive city north of the Datong River. Now, if Datang is unwilling to negotiate peace, wouldn't my past negotiations be like beating a dog with a meat bun?

Gao Xianqiu met twice, but the King of Goguryeo didn't even meet him. He just ordered him to find a way out and set a deadline for him. If he still doesn't get on the way, I'm afraid his head will be chopped off by then.

In fact, the main negotiators are the surrounding officials. Gao Xian used to do it purely to show the respect of the Goguryeo Dynasty. If such an important negotiation does not have a royal person, it would be a bit too trivial. In case Li Xiang takes this as an excuse , Goguryeo will have no place to cry when the time comes, so Gao Xian must go.

Five days later, the Tang army captured Mishi City, captured more than 10,000 people, and killed more than 4,000 people.

Seven days later, the Tang army captured Tongjiang Mansion...

Ten days later, the Tang army arrived in Anshi City.

According to Li Xiang's plan, it would take at least half a month to reach here. Unexpectedly, it only took ten days to arrive. Looking at the mighty city wall in front of him, Li Xiang may understand why Li Shimin failed here. .

First of all, there is a water source in the city. Even if you are besieged, it will be no problem for the people in the city to drink water. In addition, it is indeed difficult to capture such a city in the cold weapon era, but for Li Xiang, all this Nothing.

When Li Shimin came here, there were tens of thousands of troops who were good at fighting in the city, and there were still 20,000 to 30,000 troops roaming around. Therefore, Li Shimin had no way to use all his troops to attack the city, but this did not exist for Li Xiang. .

According to the information we have received, there are more than 6,000 soldiers left in the city at this moment. Compared with Baiyan City, these soldiers are relatively elite. In addition, this is the place where Li Shimin failed. Many Tang Army soldiers have some feelings in their hearts. Gu Nian, so Li Xiang is going to rest here for two days.

The talented Tang Taizong failed in such a small place. Li Xiang didn't know what to say, but he would definitely not fail this time. Li Xiang had already obtained all the combat data of both sides, and he had an absolute advantage. Under the circumstances, if you still fail here, then you have to go home and hold your child.

"Report to the commander, General Niu is here."

Su Dingfang rode over from the side. This hillside is the highest point nearby. Li Xiang likes to stand here and overlook the entire Anshi.

"It seems that General Niu can't wait any longer. The next main attack will be General Niu's."

Li Xiang said with a smile. Su Dingfang said nothing at the side. He has been stealing the show these days. As a former general of the entire army, he is at the forefront no matter what kind of charge.

As the saying goes, if a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. Su Dingfang does not have a deep foundation in the imperial court. If he takes all the credit for himself, then others will probably have opinions, not to mention Niu Jinda is not Young people also have their own abilities within the imperial court, so part of the credit should be given out.

"Your Highness, I am here..."

Compared with the coldness when they first met, Niu Jinda is also familiar with Li Xiang's temper. We are all men serving in the army, so there is not so much coquettishness. There were some conflicts in the past, but None of us are narrow-minded, so we are all brothers now.

"I knew you, Lao Niu, couldn't sit still, so I asked the brothers to rest for two days. When it gets light the day after tomorrow, I would lead your brothers to attack Anshi."

Li Xiang's words made Niu Jinda extremely happy. With the help of gunpowder, the Tang army could be said to be invincible. This is where Emperor Taizong walked to Maicheng. It would be of great significance for Niu Jinda to capture this place...
