Chapter 405 (1/2)
However, everyone here knows that when the first emperor went to Anshi City, many factors made him decide to give up the attack and return to the dynasty.
Because of Koguryo's tenacious resistance, and because the weather entered a freezing winter, coupled with the fact that food and grass were difficult to sustain and the roads were in dire straits, every catty of grain needed to be transported to the front line made the Tang Dynasty unbearable and difficult to sustain.
Therefore, at that time, it was necessary to give up the attack and change the strategy of growing harassment.
Today, the weather is still warm, the water waves, green mountains and green shadows everywhere. Besides, there are big killers and explosives in hand. It is definitely not an arduous task to take down Anshi city.
Looking at the sand table, they fell into meditation. The cost of winning Anshi city and even the King City of Koguryo is not small, but the emperor of Tang Dynasty can bear the cost.
took Gao Gao Li and set up a real Anton's metropolitan government. This is what Lee has dreamed of. Although his son Li Hong is not very keen, he is still in his own presence. Is it not enough to let himself has the final say? After all, I am the supreme commander.
”What will happen if the Koguryo kingdom is first captured by Silla or Baiji?” Liu Renyuan dealt with them the most, and he had to think more comprehensively. The war was worth fighting in the Tang Dynasty and won at all costs.
”It's worth it, it's not worth it. There is no war in the world that is measured by value or unworthiness. Some interests can be seen as soon as the war is over, while others need to wait for many years for us to see. But no matter what kind of city, there is a prerequisite, that is, what kind of strategic management we should take after taking these cities! This is the most important thing. When the strategy is used well, everything is worth it. If it is not used well, any interests are illusory. ”
”There are no scholars in the Imperial College and hongwenguan. What are the literati doing? They are straightforward.” Lizhi snorted. It was really hard for you to elaborate.
Li Hong shrugged his shoulders, but this time he pointed his target at the boundary of Koguryo. He said, ”because there is an uncertain factor in all the premise interests. The uncertain factor in Liaodong is the Kaibei tribe. Xinluo and Baiji win the Koguryo King City. Naturally, he will look at them differently and even make friends with them for a period of time We won the Royal City, and they will also collude with Koguryo's adherents in secret. At that time, it will still be the trouble of Datang. ”
”This...” After listening for a long time, Qi Peng He Li finally understood. This is a repeat of the old tune. His highness is still clinging to his strategy at that time. He doesn't want to set up an antongdu garrison here. He doesn't want to destroy Koguryo.
Not only did he hear it, but all the people present heard it. His majesty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his dragon father sat at the top of the table. He even insisted on the strategy of that year. He really didn't give the emperor a little face when he was on the expedition.
Li Zhigang was still listening to the expression of concentration, eyes shine, but now also understand, look at this, this unfilial son wants to follow his grandfather's strategy, mainly to harass, suppress, but never let him subjugate, to Silla, Baiji can take advantage of it.
”What will happen if I have a strong heart to build a prefect's office here?” Li Zhi got up from his chair, went to the sand table, grabbed Li Hong's stick and said.
”It's simple. After a few years of passive strike, it's cheaper for Silla, Baiji or Koguryo.” Li Hong doubted their eyes very much. Can't you see it from the sand table?
In addition to mountains, the Korean Peninsula has few plains. Although there are many rivers, it is impossible to adapt to agricultural civilization in this era.
80% of the mountains and 20% of the plains are fertile, but relatively speaking, most of them are mountainous areas, which are not suitable for crop production. This is the reason why their fisheries are more developed.
Liu Rengui is mature and prudent, and he has a deep understanding of the situation in the peninsula. He looked at Li Zhi and then Li Hong, saluted and asked, ”Your Highness, if we don't conquer them, they will still be a hidden danger in our Tang Dynasty. If we have this hidden danger, you can't rest assured?”
”No one can rest assured. However, if we destroy Koguryo, we will face Xinluo and Baiji in person. Similarly, we still can't rest assured, which is not in line with the fundamental interests of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, since we can't have peace of mind, it's better to support a puppet regime and let them fight all the time, and those who are weak to protect others will be beaten by those who are strong. ” Li Hong took the stick in his father's hand and knocked Koguryo. He also knocked on Silla and said to Baiji.
