Chapter 682 The Person With Original Sin
Gao Hui really deserved to be a famous general in Korea. He keenly felt that the style of war had changed.The war is no longer the war in his head, but beyond his imagination.

The Koryo army was quickly withdrawn in the future defense of the city.Gao Hui really needs every sergeant, and Anshicheng's food reserves are enough to last for more than a year.According to the previous experience, as long as it drags on until winter, the army of the Tang Dynasty will retreat just like the army of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Er looked at the dilapidated army stronghold after the bombing, even though it was yesterday.But Li Er could still smell gunpowder in the air.

It is impossible to count how many enemy troops were killed, and many corpses were very fragmented.A thigh was hanging from a tree branch, and crows were pecking at it.Not far away, you can see dark red internal organs, or a hanging intact intestines.Li Er accidentally stepped on a hand that was still intact, and kicked it away in disgust, but unexpectedly wanted to reveal half of his face underneath.

The wreckage of the entire military camp was filled with a pair of broken human bodies, as well as various things in the shape of coke or semi-coke.Even the weapons were distorted and out of shape. There was a twist-like big knife at Li Er's feet.

"The improved gunpowder is so powerful!" Looking at the ruins of the hell-like battlefield, Li Er, the iron-blooded emperor who had waded through the river of blood and climbed over the mountain of corpses, couldn't help showing a little panic.

"I've already checked, and there are no prisoners in the army stronghold. When we launched, they were gathering as a whole. So the effect of the rockets is surprisingly good. If the enemy army is more scattered, the effect of the rockets will not be so good. " Yun Hao explained next to him.

"The infantry is too scattered. If you can't form a formation, you can't fight against the cavalry." Li Er himself is Wushuang's commander. Of course, he knows what scattered infantry means to the cavalry.

"That can't be helped. As long as the infantry is in formation, it will be the target of trebuchets and rockets." Yun Hao shrugged helplessly. Some things are destined to be eliminated, such as the infantry formation with a long history.

Since the Cold War, infantry formations have been gradually formed.The most typical ones are the Macedonian phalanx and the infantry formation of the Great Qin Empire.There is a striking similarity between the two, that is, infantry holding spears stands at the front of both formations.

Infantry formations have varied over the years.Now, it seems that the curtain has come.

"The siege of Anshi City is up to you to command. I want to see what the new tactics are all about." Li Er inspected the huge wreckage for the last time and walked back to his imperial palace. account.Yun Hao actually saw a trace of loneliness in Li Er's back.

"Wuji! Tell me how we will treat Korea in the future!" Standing in front of the huge map, Li Er was the same Li Er who looked at the eagle like a tiger.The emotion of being lonely is only a momentary thing, and the great emperor does not need this kind of boring emotion.

"How about Koryo...!" Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "This land is too far away from Guanzhong, and also too far away from Tang Dynasty. In the land of foreign races, it is not enough to suppress it without stationing a large army. It can be stationed." With a large army, Koryo has few lands and poor people need the court to provide food and salaries. This will become a big burden on the court's finances!
What about soldiers?It is inevitable that people will be homesick for a long-term stay, but what about a short-term stay?There is no way to familiarize yourself with the local situation!The minister sees that this time the army can take back Liaodong.My Datang and Goryeo should be bounded by the Yalu River.After my Datang has established a firm foothold in Liaodong, I will further erode it.

Otherwise, we will eat Liaodong and Korea.There is no way to effectively rule, after all, there are many miscellaneous barbarians in Liaodong.It is not the same culture as our Tang Dynasty, and we need to emigrate step by step if we want to gain a firm foothold.After gaining a firm foothold, it can further expand to Korea.

But now our Datang, what we lack the most is population.The prosperity of Zhenguan, the prosperity of Zhenguan.What about the population?Only a little over [-]% of that of the former Sui Dynasty, no one! "Changsun Wuji said helplessly.

"Yes! There is no one! This is a huge land, a huge territory. Without a population, it is absolutely difficult to rule firmly. It takes 18 years for a qualified soldier to grow from birth to adulthood. Even though fertility is encouraged, it cannot be changed in a short period of time. Besides, Liaodong is bitterly cold, if you want people to immigrate here, you have to be willing!" Li Er sighed.

For a hero, having neighbors is the last thing they can tolerate.Destroying the Turks and leveling the Goryeo in the Western Regions would not be able to realize their life aspirations at all.In Li Er's view, only the unification of the earth can reflect personal value.

Europeans and Indians are not suffering from disasters now, it is really thanks to Yunhao not popularizing global geography knowledge to Li Er.

"It's okay, we just need to lay a good foundation. In the future, future generations will help us achieve our wishes! I am a khan of heaven, and my descendants are naturally not idle people. Those few nephews of yours are all imperial dragons. Extraordinary product!" Li Er quickly swept away the haze like sweeping trash.Emperors don't need all kinds of boring emotions!

Changsun Wuji didn't speak, as if a gunpowder bomb had exploded in his heart.

Several nephews!Imperial dragon species!All extraordinary products!One keyword after another made Changsun Wuji's head buzz.What does this mean, and what kind of political signal the boss wants to reveal.Isn't the prince Li Chengqian?What is the emperor going to do?A few nephews, besides Li Tai, there are...!
The more he thought about it, the more disturbed Changsun Wuji became.Throughout the dynasties, the replacement of the crown prince would lead to catastrophe.Yang Guang replaced Yang Yong in the previous dynasty, and Li Er replaced Li Jiancheng in the current dynasty.When was it not that people were killed so that their heads rolled into rivers of blood, and the change of Xuanwu Gate seemed to be right in front of them. Could it be said that it was going to change again?

"Wuji! Wuji!" Li Er's call dragged Changsun Wuji's consciousness from the sky back to the world.

"Your Majesty was in a trance just now, please punish me." Changsun Wuji hurriedly pleaded guilty, distracted while talking to the emperor, it is definitely the rhythm of death.

"It doesn't matter! What I just said is that your proposal is indeed an old-fashioned plan for the country. The purpose of using troops this time is to take back Liaodong. Back then, the Han Dynasty set up the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and we are also famous for this. In this sense, you Talk to the courtiers." Li Er said with a smile.Obviously, Li Er was in a pretty good mood at this time.

"No! I got it!" Changsun Wuji knew that this was Li Er looking for a step for himself.As long as the Yalu River is hit, a vote of court officials will be listed.In order to avoid the loss of life, he urged Li Er to withdraw his troops.

What Changsun Wuji had to do was to contact a large number of important ministers in advance.When Li Er needs it, hand over the appropriate memorial.

The Goryeo army retreated so quickly that Yun Hao didn't even have time to repeat the tragic situation in the general's stronghold.Yun Hao can be sure that Gao Hui is really finished.Because to a certain extent, Anshi City is actually just a larger military village with more people stationed in it.

Yun Hao could easily destroy a small military stronghold, and naturally he could also destroy the larger Anshi City, but it was not so easy.

It is said that Liaodong is bitterly cold, but people forget that the heat in Liaodong in July is three points higher than that in Guanzhong.The water in the Liaohe River at noon is hot, let alone the camp full of soldiers.

Yun Hao insisted on placing the general camp in the open space, and stubbornly cut down all the trees within a radius of ten miles.If there is one area where the Tang army has an advantage over the Korean army, it is technology.

Li Daoyan worked overtime and mobilized almost all the people to rush to work.It took three months to repair the railway from Pingzhou to Yingzhou.The heavily guarded Yingzhou City suddenly became a distribution center for the army's supplies.Every day, there are as many materials as mountains, which are sent to the front line from all over the Tang Dynasty.

The front line of Yingzhou is only two hundred miles away from Anshi City.With such a short distance, compared with Emperor Sui Yang's transportation of thousands of miles, I don't know how much waste is left on the road.

So even things like saltpeter can be transported from Longyou to the front line of Liaodong.

The saltpeter in Longyou is of very high quality, and the Tang army's camp is full of copper basins for making ice.Every tent can be allocated two basins of crushed ice every day, which is already an example.It was like a fire outside, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else was hiding in the tent and bragging about the mountains.

Everyone doesn't understand why Anshicheng has become a turtle in an urn.The new general Chu Guogong had to dig deep ditches and barriers for Mao to besiege him.Could it be that we have to wait here for the arrival of winter?I heard that the winter in Liaodong can freeze to pieces.

Li Er's imperial tent was filled with strips of ice, and the large pieces of ice exuded a cool white air.It was a fire-like sky outside, but inside Li Er's imperial tent it was cool and cool.

"Your Majesty! This scorching heat is three points better than Guanzhong. The Duke of Chu actually put the army here, which puts His Majesty in a difficult situation. I also ask Your Majesty to order that I lead the people from the tiger and the tiger into Anshi City and take Gao Huizhen. Head up." Changsun Shunde was very dissatisfied with Yunhao leaving the emperor in this hot place.

"Old grandson, you will die if you calm down." Lao Cheng was very dissatisfied with grandson Shunde's attack on Yunhao.He couldn't let go of the matter of old sesame seeds and rotten millet for so many years.If Yun Hao hadn't let you go, the title of your eldest grandson's family would have been cut off long ago

The eldest grandson Wuji looked embarrassed, this clan uncle committed an old problem again.It seemed that after several years in Liaodong, he still hadn't given up the idea of ​​revenge on the Yun family.This time, if something really happened, the gods would not be able to save him.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The veteran also thinks that it is inappropriate to place the army here. Your Majesty has led the army away for a long time. Although there is a prince in charge of the country in Chang'an, it is still not a blessing for the country to be in the middle. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Gao Shi Lian also stood up.

Li Er raised his eyebrows after hearing Gao Shilian's words.But still silent!
Changsun Wuji looked at Gao Shilian, and swallowed the words back to his stomach.This is his own uncle. When the grandson's family was in decline, it was his uncle Gao Shilian who took him and his sister in.Treating their brothers and sisters as if they were their own, this friendship cannot be overstated.

"Grand Chu's meaning is probably to encircle a point and fight for reinforcements. Surround a point in Anshi City and attack Goryeo's reinforcements. Yuangai Suwen will send reinforcements, and we will be strangled to death under Anshi City. If Goryeo does not send reinforcements , I can only sit and watch Gao Huizhen’s 15 troops wiped out. Come to think of it, Goryeo’s reinforcements must be on the way now. Before they have fully experienced firearms, everyone will feel that they have the strength to fight.” Niu Jinda pointed to the map and said.

"I think what Lord Langya said is reasonable!" Changsun Wuji stood up under Gao Shilian's astonished eyes.

With Zhangsun Wuji's agreement, more people came forward soon.Everyone knows that Changsun Wuji has always represented the meaning of the emperor.

"Warning around the spot for aid consumes Goryeo's vitality. Yunhao has reported this to me, and I agree. The Goryeo people are capricious. If you want to keep Liaodong safe and sound, you have to kill a large number of their vitality until they are powerless to resist. .

Although the weather is hot now, fortunately, our army has ice-making methods that can be used.It will not let the soldiers suffer from the heat.The army continued to stay here, waiting for the arrival of Goryeo reinforcements.For the sake of Liaodong, Yuangai Suwen will definitely use the best of Koryo to rescue Gao Huizhen.It was a tough battle! "

Yunhao didn't attend this high-level military meeting because he was busy digging ditches.Under the coercion of whips and horizontal knives, countless captured people of various ethnic groups in Liaodong began to dig ditches.

The backs were bare under the scorching sun, and many people's backs were tanned.A large piece of skin became like a snake's slough, and as long as it was torn off, it would become a white film.As long as you work a little slower, the whip will fly over with a whistle.Both are veterans of the whip, and know how to cause the most pain.The whip of the whip will tear the dry and cracked skin a little bit, and then leave with a cloud of blood.Only a gash remained, open like a baby's mouth.

In addition to providing them with a large amount of water every day to prevent them from dying, they also provided some coarse grains that Tang people seldom eat.For these people, Yun Hao is out of the intention of abusing them.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up four counties in Liaodong, and there lived Han people in tens of thousands.But today, the number of Han people here is far less than that of pandas.Where did so many Han people go?Wasn't he killed by the ancestors of these barbarians!Five Husbands are in disorder, and many Hus are actually their ancestors.

His ancestors could feed men to sheep and women, and today their descendants have suffered a little bit of abuse, which is not an exaggeration!Yunhao's attitude towards them has a strong sense of revenge.In the future, Liaodong will be left to the descendants to reproduce, how can there be such barbaric existence.Yun Hao sometimes even thinks about building a big no-man's land with Anshi City as the center.The Han immigrants will live a quiet life here. Although it is not clean, it can be very quiet.

One of the ways to be quiet is to kill. When a person is dead, he will not speak or have any opinions.Digging a hole is still inside, the coffin is an absolute luxury.As long as enough people are buried, the crops here will grow well enough in the future.Human beings eat the gifts of Mother Earth, so they naturally have to give back to Mother Earth.The sacrifices of the Tang people in Liaodong were these barbarians with original sin.
