Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

In fact, this can be considered unintentional. Although the soldiers on the front line of Liaodong in Goguryeo are not all from the front line of Liaodong, most of them are from here. That is to say, among the people managed by Datang are the families of these ordinary soldiers. .

In the process of distributing two kinds of horses and ironware in Datang, these captive soldiers participated in the transportation of these things, and they participated in the whole process.

Under such circumstances, how could these prisoners not empathize?Datang did not rob any of the people's property, but instead distributed them grain, iron sickles, plowshares, animal power horses and so on.

Although they have to grow grain for the Tang Dynasty for a year, how much can the people sell the extra grain for a year?The money couldn't buy so many ironware in Goguryeo, let alone horses.

This is true even for three or four families with one horse.

And Datang provided these without any other conditions. If these people ran away with these iron utensils, then Datang would be at a loss.

How could these actions not touch these captured soldiers?

What's more, how did Datang treat these captives?Although they have to work, they are just helping to deliver food, etc. The prisoners eat the same food as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

And after being injured, they will be given medical treatment. Even if they are accidentally injured due to work after being captured, they will be treated and allowed to rest.

What country would treat them like this?Although these soldiers have not read books, they have heard a lot of bragging from their chiefs, such as what happened in the former Sui Dynasty, and how the soldiers were detained before the Tang Dynasty.

But now, this is completely different from what they know and what they have heard before.

Not to mention the captives, even if they were soldiers who were not fighting, they would not give them such good treatment for the work they helped some generals or nobles do.

Under such circumstances, when the middle and senior generals among these captives were detained separately, and only some low-level soldiers were left captive, they had no desire to run away at all.

Even if you let them go, they may not be willing to leave.

This is naturally why Li Shiji dared to use these low-level soldiers. He had tested these soldiers before using them. For example, he used a small number of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty and a large number of captives to deliver supplies to these villages, and secretly sent troops to protect them.

If these captives rebel, although these Tang soldiers are wearing armor, the gap between the two sides is too large, and these captives are fully capable of rebelling.

But they don't at all.

Not just one team, but dozens of teams released at the same time.

This is already very telling.

Therefore, now Li Shiji can safely hand over these captives to the auxiliary soldiers behind, and then the government soldiers will lead them to deliver logistics supplies and so on.

Anyway, Datang has enough food, so if you don't worry about consuming it on the road, just let them transport it. This can also consume the energy of these captives, which is much better than keeping them in place.And it can also increase the manpower for transportation.

If you have food, you can do whatever you want.

Moreover, many things can be tested during this process. If there is no problem with these captives until the capture of Black Bone City, you can even consider later. If you don’t need manpower, you can directly release these captives home, or Let some Datang soldiers take these captives to manage the security of each city.

In this way, more elites of the Tang Dynasty can be drawn.

All in all, Li Shiji is not in a hurry now, but in 20 days, Datang has almost captured half of Goguryeo's territory, and the remaining half, at most two months is enough.

Pyongyang is not far from Black Bone City, and the straight-line distance is only four hundred miles.

Just when Li Shiji was about to send an army to surround Black Bone City, a piece of latest information made Li Shiji give up this plan.

"You mean that Yuangai Suwen sent Hudar to lead [-] troops to support Black Bone City, and then he will join Black Bone City with [-] cavalry to finally support Liaodong City?" Li Shiji asked ecstatically.

"Yes! General, this is the information that General Liu Zhao asked me to send. The army is only one day away from Black Bone City at most. If you count the time for crossing the river, it only takes three days at most to reach Black Bone City."

It would take two days for an army of [-] to cross the river. After all, there is no bridge on the Yalu River now.

"In that case... order Qibi Heli to lead [-] cavalrymen to provoke under Black Bone City day and night for the past few days, but the enemy will retreat immediately if they plan to attack, and call Hou Junji and other generals to hold a meeting." Li Shiji spoke quickly.

Their army is still about 150 miles away from Black Bone City. If they want to march quickly, they can arrive in one day and one night.

But now it seems that there is no need for this. The [-] troops support Liaodong City, which means that Yuan Gai Suwen didn't know that the front line of Liaodong had all fallen.

But this is normal, even if it is Li Shiji, if he is not a general of Datang, even if Datang has twice as many troops, it is hard to believe that Datang can conquer more than 20 buildings garrisoned by 20 elite and [-] auxiliary soldiers in [-] days. City.

According to past experience, sometimes it takes several days to capture a city that is not considered a fortified city, and it is normal for some fortified cities to hold on for a month or two.

More than 20 cities, how could it be possible to win all of them within 20 days?

It's just that Yuan Gai Suwen didn't expect that the current Datang has far exceeded his expectations.

When the city wall is like paper in front of Datang, it is only a matter of minutes to take down the opponent.

After Hou Junji and the others came to the meeting, Li Shiji showed them the information delivered by Liu Zhao.

After reading it, Hou Junji immediately looked overjoyed, "Great, since they don't know the latest battle situation, it means that they must leave the city wall protection of Black Bone City. For us, as long as we find an excellent Ambush the terrain, which means we can wipe out the enemy!"

"The terrain to ambush 6 people is not easy to find." Yu Chigong shook his head and said.

"From Black Bone City to Liaodong City, most of the area is mountainous, and there is always a suitable place." Hou Junji said, "We have passed through a lot of terrain along the way. With such a large army on the other side, In fact, the only thing you can choose is the official way.”

"As long as we search along the official road, we will definitely find a suitable place."

"Yes, yes, but the opponent has [-] cavalry, which means that it is possible for the opponent's scouts to be sent ten miles away. Even if there are mountains on both sides, it is not difficult for the scouts to climb the mountain. .”
