Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[The Tang Dynasty’s management of Liaodong was much simpler than that of the Western Regions.

After all, the sky is high and the roads are far away in the Western Region, and the roads are very difficult to walk. The supply of supplies along the way has always been a problem that troubled the Tang army.

This is not the case in Liaodong. Hebei and Shandong are already close to the sea, and the private shipbuilding industry has been developing.

Whether in terms of population or marching methods, Liaodong is much simpler than the Western Region.

Moreover, Li Shimin also left a considerable legacy to Li Zhi in Liaodong:

More than a thousand warships, and enough food and fodder to supply an army of 300,000 for the expedition.

These things were accumulated by Li Shimin one after another after his first personal expedition to Goguryeo, for his second personal expedition.

It was originally planned to launch the army in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, but Fang Xuanling died of illness that year and wrote a long memorial to advise before his death. Li Shimin had no choice but to give up and plan to fight again next year.

Then the condition deteriorated rapidly the next year, Zhenguan ended, and the personal expedition came to an end.

Relying on his father's inheritance, Li Zhi was quite arrogant when facing Silla asking for help:

Are you jumping around? Die to me!

Su Dingfang, who had just pacified the Western Turks, took command again, leading an army of 100,000, commanding battleships, crossing the Yellow Sea, and attacking Baekje. 】

It was hard to hide the smile on Su Dingfang's face in the Manna Palace.

He has not forgotten the brief description of his achievements previously given by later generations: Destroyed the three kingdoms and captured their masters.

It is known that the Western Turks and the Congling Kingdoms were destroyed in the Western Regions, and now it seems that the final success should be achieved in the Baekje Kingdom.

I remember that the Baekje Kingdom seemed to be co-established with the Wei and Jin Dynasties?

Su Dingfang really wasn't sure, so he asked Li Shi nearby.

Li Shi𪟝 looked at Su Dingfang, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and turned his head:

I don't know.

Su Dingfang shook his head regretfully, Didn't you, the dignified Duke Cao, love to laugh when you mentioned Zhang Liang just now?

How come you have now learned to show your head to others?

Looking at the back of Li Shi𪟝's head, Li Jing felt that he still had to mediate:

Crossing the sea to fight against thieves is something I have never done before in my career. I will surely become famous in Liaodong.

When Li Jing opened his mouth, Su Dingfang instantly turned into a good boy and refused again and again.

This Baekje is no different from the Turks. They founded their country on a peninsula, with Goguryeo in the north, Silla in the east, and the sea in the southwest. If they cross the sea and attack, the thieves will have nowhere to escape, and they will be slowly destroyed.

The first victory in this battle should be your Majesty's. If there are not more than a thousand warships, how can it be decided in one battle?

Li Shi 𪟝 turned his head and curled his lips. He didn't expect that the guy who was sweeping the floor would learn very quickly!

No matter how Li Shi licked his lips, it could not affect Li Shimin's slowly improving mood.

Being talked about by his descendants across the air conditioning, and thinking about the bad things that happened to his descendants, Li Shimin felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

But listening to Su Dingfang's compliments, Li Shimin's mood improved again.

These are still these young generals who are eager to make contributions.

Think of Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, who was very powerful in archery, and Pei Xingjian, who was praised highly by pharmacists even at a young age.

There are also the names of Wang Yifang mentioned earlier, Wang Xuance who will not return in a few years, and some other young people.

Li Shimin finally felt relieved in his heart, and then he thought of the younger Wu family girl... Stop, stop.

After knocking his head, Li Shimin turned to look at his right-hand man:

Xuanling is only sixty-nine years old. It seems that he still worked a lot for Zhenguan.

Sixty-nine is certainly considered a long life, but compared to Li Jing and others, it can only be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, smiled and said with narrowed eyes:

I retired from Zhenguan together, and established Zhenguan together with His Majesty. I am nearly seventy years old, and I have no regrets.

On the contrary, Your Majesty, you still need to take care of yourself.

Li Shimin waved his hand. Needless to say, he had not known how fat and delicious lambs were for a long time.

Even the sweet and sour fish that he was quite proud of was discovered by Sun Yaowang and ordered not to eat it more than twice a month.

Li Shimin also secretly resented this: Why is the imperial dining room so big-mouthed?

But even though he was worried about his health, Li Shimin could only hold his nose and admit it.

[While Liu Rengui was still rushing to Qingzhou with a slumped belly, Su Dingfang had already crossed the sea and completed the landing at the mouth of the Xiongjin River.

The king of Baekje, Buyeo Yiji, was stunned:

The last time you attacked Goguryeo, it was not the same approach.

For the King of Baekje, he had carefully considered the alliance with Goguryeo. The northern part of the Korean Peninsula was entirely the territory of Goguryeo. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to enter the peninsula, it was necessary to penetrate Goguryeo first.

As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench near thirst, so the king of Baekje agreed to Goguryeo's conditions.

But what he didn't expect was that the Tang Dynasty came across the sea and caught the King of Baekje by surprise. He could only deploy heavy troops at the mouth of the Ungjin River in the hope of retreating the enemy.

But the King of Baekje really thought too much.

The so-called heavy troops at the mouth of the Xiongjin River were wiped out in one battle, and the entire nation's troops claiming to protect the capital added ten thousand gains to Su Dingfang. Other than that, the battle was uneventful.

The stunned Fuyu Yiji didn't say a word, and fled the city with the prince, heading towards Goguryeo.

Logically speaking, since the king has run away, Baekje should be wiped out in a snap.

But at this critical moment, Buyeotae, the second son of King Baekje, stood up.

His father and brother abandoned the country and fled, and Fu Yutai took on the heavy responsibility alone. He spent all his wealth to appease the people and soldiers of Sixian City, and ran around the city to appease people.

In the end, under the witness of the soldiers, Fuyu Tai declared himself king, and he would live and die with Sixian City, and vowed to fight against the Tang Dynasty!

Influenced by Xiaotae, another member of the Baekje royal family stepped forward, his name was Buyeo Munsi.

Buyeo Munsi was the son of the Crown Prince of Baekje, a decent grandson of the King of Baekje. It was his grandfather and biological father who abandoned the city and fled, and it was his biological uncle who swore to live and die with the city.

Faced with such a critical situation, Fuyu Wensi followed the example of his uncle, wearing armor and climbing high to inspire people.

He first impassionedly recalled the difficulty of founding Baekje, saying:

Although the king and the prince have run away, they will be watching us from a distance!

Then he followed the story of the Han family and ordered people to tie a rope to the city wall, then throw the rope out of the city and declare:

Anyone who is unwilling to live and die with Baekje can climb out of the city through this rope now and surrender to the Tang army.

The soldiers were infected by this atmosphere. Some cried and beat the ground, vowing to protect the emperor's grandson. Baekje has been raising soldiers for hundreds of years. It is now time to die to serve the country!

But what was different from what they expected was the impassioned words of the Emperor Taisun:

Now that there is a sudden disaster, my uncle can't wait to proclaim himself king. If the Tang army retreats, will we have a way to survive?

In full view of everyone, the emperor's grandson showed off his skillful rope sliding skills. He was the first to use the tied rope and went straight to the Tang Army's camp.

These words and actions were heart-wrenching to the defenders:

The king and the prince have all run away, and the king and grandson have also taken the lead in surrendering. Why are you trying so hard?

The soldiers who reacted at the scene began to fight for the rope, fearing that it would be too late to surrender to the Tang army.

When Xiaotai heard the news, he lamented and realized that the situation was over, so he ordered the city gates to be opened to surrender to the Tang army.

But the surprise was not over for Su Dingfang. Not long after the Sixi city was broken, the King of Baekje and the prince made a plan and came back to surrender.

There was no other way. Not to mention the arduous journey to defect to Goguryeo, it was still unclear whether Goguryeo would treat their father and son as human beings.

It's different in the Tang Dynasty. Pick-up and delivery are included, work is included and accommodation is included. All you have to do is enjoy yourself. At most, it's okay to dance. That's not a big deal!

Less than a month later, Su Dingfang escorted tens of thousands of prisoners and the Baekje royal family back to the court, and the Baekje Kingdom was eliminated.

But when Su Dingfang evacuated Baekje, he threw a firecracker into the latrine, arousing public anger.

The Tang army came across the sea with a total of 100,000 men. They fought in only two battles and captured only 10,000 troops. The credit and gains were not enough.

So after the city of Sixi was broken, the Tang army began to loot and loot without sealing the sword. Historical records record that the strong man died more often.

Thanks to Su Dingfang's move, the Baekje Restoration Movement was launched with great vigor. 】

Listening to Light Screen's narration, Su Dingfang's smile became increasingly difficult to stop.

Likewise, Li Shi𪟝's expression became more and more complicated.

But after hearing the last sentence, Su Dingfang's smile froze.

Then the smile slowly climbed to the corners of Li Shi𪟝's lips.

And Li Shi𪟝 could see clearly that an obvious look of disappointment appeared on His Majesty's face.

Li Shi 𪟝 was surprised at first. If Guangmu's theory was to be followed, the Baekje royal family would rush to surrender, and the soldiers would no longer have any desire to fight to the death.

In this case, where does Liu Rengui come from?

Now I understand, it turns out that Liu Rengui is here to help Su Dingfang deal with the aftermath.

Shaking his head secretly, Li Shi𪟝 suddenly felt that he was quite lucky.

For example, if Guo Daifeng, a guy like Guo Daifeng who didn't obey military orders and still took credit, didn't cause trouble for him on the Goguryeo battlefield, it was really a blessing from his ancestors.

Sighing, Li Shi was the first to let go and patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder:

There may be some insider information, and it may not necessarily be Dingfang's responsibility.

As a leader in the war, Li Shih understood very well how important military discipline was to the army, and he also understood its difficulties better.

It is the dream of every general to enforce orders and prohibitions, but in most cases, soldiers can only be driven by rewards, especially this kind of temporary recruitment army.

If you can win hundreds of battles, if you can gain a lot of gains, if you can win the victory of Yinzi, then you will be the best general among the soldiers.

On the other hand, if you want to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers even though you have achieved very little, the first thing the soldiers will do is to chop off the general's head, unless he is really prestigious.

Li Jing next to him sighed quietly:

The army he leads is very large.

Su Dingfang was speechless, but he cupped his hands in front of Li Shimin with a little shame.

Li Shimin nodded at this, and still had room to say a few words of comfort to Su Dingfang.

And deep down in his heart, he remembered the issue that the younger generation had talked about before about why the Tang army's combat power declined.

This battle to destroy Baekje seems to be a critical point in time.

Li Shimin himself figured out that Su Dingfang, who entered Baekje, returned from the Western Regions where his country was destroyed. Since this war, the imperial court no longer cares about the dead.

Then comes the Battle of Baekje. The dead will not be questioned, and the living will also have their military merits deducted.

And who came up with this summary? Liu Rengui.

So Li Shimin turned to pat Liu Rengui with an expression of You have suffered.

Liu Rengui looked confused.
