In troubled times, it is common for bandits to be rampant, but what makes everyone feel strange is that they don't rob others, only rob people.

There were people who were dying of illness lying on the hospital bed were snatched away, and the skinny and skinny people who were about to step into the coffin were snatched away.

The Koreans who were robbed all have one characteristic, that is, they are all sick.

Hundreds of people were snatched away by bandits every night. For a while, people in Anshi City were panicked and complained.

Faced with this situation, Yang Wanchun directly ordered the closure of the city, and all the people were not allowed to enter or leave. He also strengthened the soldiers patrolling day and night, and the situation improved.

At this time, in the city lord's mansion.

All the people who were kidnapped by the bandits were gathered here, and they were packed into sacks together with the stones.

Yang Wanchun said to Gao Huizhen expressionlessly: "You have collected a thousand patients, so hurry up and take them away!"

Gao Huizhen looked at the pretentious Yang Wanchun, saluted and said, "The city lord Gao Yi!" But he was very disdainful in his heart.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, "Come on, transport these sacks to the upper reaches of the Yalu River!!"

"Yes!"

One by one, the soldiers began to carry the sacks, and threw them on the grain truck as casually as if they were carrying rice sacks.

"Hey!" Looking at the removed sack, Yang Wanchun sighed, turned and left.

Riding the night, Gao Huizhen carried the sack out of the city, and arrived at the upper reaches of the Yalu River not long after.

The sack was transported to the middle of the river by a small boat, and it sank directly into the bottom of the river with a 'plop'. It turned out that the person was thrown into the river and drowned.

And Gao Huizhen on the bank was expressionless, clasping his hands together.

"Rather than being tormented by illness, it is better to die early and be reborn early, which will also help me win.

Don't blame me for being cruel, you were not kidnapped by me, even if you become ghosts, don't come to me. "

The scene was silent, only the river breeze blowing gently and the sound of 'plop' that kept coming to mind.

After midnight, all the thousand sacks were thrown into the water.

A soldier came to report: "General, all the sacks have been thrown down."

"Okay, back to camp!!"

"Yes."

(An inhumane method in ancient times used the corpses of sick people to pollute water sources. Doing so can easily cause plague.)

In the handsome camp.

Gao Huizhen reported to Gao Yanshou: "Second brother, the matter has been settled."

"Okay!" Gao Yanshou nodded with satisfaction, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the Yalu River, and analyzed in a low tone.

"There is only one river near Anshi City, the Yalu River, and the Tang army stationed here must only drink the water from this river.

But we have already sunk thousands of consumptive ghosts into the bottom of the river.

Now it's just waiting for Tang Jun to come.

Even if only one person is infected with the plague, it will spread to ten, ten to hundreds, the more people come, the more people will die.

At that time, we will win without fighting, and Korea will be the world of our brothers. "

"Maybe Datang is also our world."

"Hahaha~"

------

Pyongyang City.

Ever since Li Shimin wanted to declare war on Anshicheng, a ridiculous thing happened. Many Koreans wanted to join the army to fight! !

In the beginning, apart from being grateful, the farmers who got the land didn't care whether it was ruled by Tang Dynasty or Goguryeo.

But the farmers soon realized that once the Tang Dynasty was defeated, wouldn't the rulers become the Goryeo tribe again?

Don't you have to become a tenant again?Wouldn't the acquired land be returned to the tribe?

Thinking of this, they all panicked.

What Han people and Koreans are two ethnic groups; what Tang Dynasty killed soldiers... what national hatred and family hatred and so on.

None of them care.

What they care about most is to have a piece of land of their own, so that they can have enough food and hope to survive.

And if you want to continue to own the land, you must not hand over the ruling power to those nobles, otherwise you will become a tenant again and plant the land for the tribe for a lifetime.

No one wants to go back to the past, no one wants to hand over their hard work to others.

Comparing the rule of the Tang Dynasty and the tribe, the advantages of the three strategies are immediately revealed.

For a time, the hearts of the people gathered together, and the Koreans gathered spontaneously, vying to join the army, and spontaneously supported the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

The corners of Li Shimin's eyes twitched as he watched this scene, stroking his long beard and saying nothing.

"It's the first time I've seen such a strange sight.

In the past, even if we defeated other countries, they would only see hatred instead of support like this. "

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and complimented, "They were all moved by His Majesty's benevolence, so they voluntarily joined the Tang Army and supported His Majesty."

At this moment, he was extremely shocked by the horror of these three strategies.

You must know that not long ago, the Koreans still regarded Datang as an enemy army, and many relatives and friends of the Koreans died in these two wars.

But now not only do they have no complaints, they even voluntarily join the army for the sake of the land, and spontaneously maintain the rule of Datang.

"En." Li Shimin was very relieved to hear that, and said with a smile on his face, "The three strategies are so effective. After returning, we must implement them in all the prefectures and counties."

When Li Shimin was proud, a burst of footsteps appeared on the tower.

"Your Majesty, here comes the secret letter!!" Xue Rengui saluted, his eyes hinting at something while speaking.

"Let's go, follow me back to the battleship." Li Shimin frowned, guessing, could it be that the five tribes received the letter from Brother Gao Huizhen?

"Yes!"

After everyone returned to the battleship, Xue Rengui recounted the information Quan boys had obtained.

"The Gao brothers colluded with the city lord Yang Wanchun, and gathered troops to prepare to fight His Majesty."

"How many soldiers and horses did they gather?" Changsun Wuji asked hastily.

"This... the Gao Brothers didn't mention it in their letter. Instead, they wanted to use the five tribes to inquire about the situation of our soldiers, horses and food, and promised to defeat us."

As soon as the words fell, Niu Jinda couldn't help cursing angrily: "Hmph, a nest of snakes and rats should be killed!!"

Zhang Liang also said angrily: "Let him have thousands of troops, how can he defeat us and other cannon warships?"

"It's just waiting for him to gather, so we can catch them all!!"

"Don't worry about him, bring the sand table and see where to capture Na'an City!" Li Shimin ordered.

Soon, the soldiers brought in the sand table and gathered around the sand table to discuss how to attack Anshi City.

"Yes"

Li Shimin directly planted the flag in Anshi City.

"From Pyongyang Road to Anshi City, it is only 150 miles, and the battleship is [-] miles in an hour, which is only a little more than two hours."

Changsun Wuji dropped a flag on the Yalu River in front of Anshi City.

"That's right, you can avoid the Great Wall directly by taking the water route, follow the Haikou from the Yalu River, and go north all the way to the front of the city tower in Anshi."

"In this way, we can go straight to Huanglong!!"

Xue Rengui said, "However, according to what Quan Boys said, the city tower in Anshi is ten miles away from the Yalu River, which is far beyond the range of a cannon."

"So we have to find a way to get to the shore?"

Li Shiji suggested.

"Use small boats to put the vanguard shield soldiers in front and the battleships behind to cover.

If the enemy army dares to step forward, they will be bombarded.

Waiting for the shield soldiers to occupy the favorable terrain, let the gunners go ashore to set up the guns, and gradually advance, approaching the city wall.

Wait until the range of the cannon is reached before taking Anshicheng in one fell swoop. "

"This method is good!"

"My minister agrees!"

A way for civilians and generals to express their approval of the attack after listening to it.

It's a bit more troublesome to go ashore, but it's a small problem with the cover of warships.

"Then how many soldiers and horses shall I bring?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Leave [-] elite soldiers for Aiqing to guard Pyongyang. Is it possible for Aiqing to guard Pyongyang?" Li Shimin turned his head and asked Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, let alone [-] soldiers, even if I am the only one left, I can still guard the city of Pyongyang!"

Li Shimin nodded, and directly announced: "Leave [-] soldiers and horses for the Duhu Mansion, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go out with me to attack Na'an City."

"Na'an city must be destroyed!!"

"That Yang Wanchun must be beheaded!"

Everyone cheered loudly when they heard the words, they were as brave as a tiger, and they wished to go out immediately.

"The lovers are gone, prepare for the battle tomorrow!!"

"Yes!!"

Chapter 186

The next day.

The sky shimmered, passing through the gauze-like dark clouds, gradually tearing away the enveloping darkness.

At this time, the Datong River is bustling with activity.

"Dangdangdang!!"

Accompanied by the loud ringing of the bell, I remembered it early.

"hurry up."

"Everyone is ready to go out with His Majesty!!"

Various voices sounded inside the battleship, and the whole battleship seemed to be a bustling market.

And Li Shimin came to the captain's room early, sat in front of the rudder, and ordered solemnly.

"Anchor!!"

"set sail!!"

After a loud "woo" sound, countless steam condensed and floated in the air like white clouds.

On the tower, Xue Rengui and the remaining soldiers raised their spears to the ground and shouted loudly: "The Great Tang will win!!"

Many Koreans in the city heard the news and left the city.

Seeing such a miraculous sight, some people clasped their hands together and recited the warship as a god or Buddha: "Ship God bless you."

Someone immediately knelt down, followed Xue Rengui and others, and shouted in unproficient Chinese: "The Great Tang will surely win!"

Li Shimin looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Obviously, I came to conquer them, so why are they not only showing no hatred, but also very happy, even worshiping them?

With this strange feeling, Li Shimin didn't know what expression to make.

···

The high-hanging Tang flag rattled in the wind, and the Dreadnought fleet slowly set sail towards the East China Sea.

The sky was cloudless, and gulls and birds were constantly on the coast. After carefully passing the reef and driving for more than two hours, the warship finally arrived at the Yalu River.

Yalu River——It is shaped like a duck's head, the river is emerald green, and the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful. There are whitebait swimming on the water surface, sparkling with waves.
