Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Hao Chujun goes camping and eats rice

Hao Chujun, born in 607, was a Jinshi in Zhenguan. This person is similar to a perfect man, who can lead troops to fight outside, and can edit books inside. He once strongly opposed Empress Wu's control of the government, and his words and deeds are upright. Even Empress Wu's people are courteous to him.This man is really a genius. In order to punish him, Wu Zetian tried every means to collect his faults. After several years, he couldn't find any of his faults.Therefore, Comrade Wu could only grit his teeth and stand aside fiercely, but he couldn't attack him. Hao Chujun is sixty years old this year, and he won the chance to go to Korea.At this time, he was leading a small number of troops stationed in the field, ready to obey Li Ji's dispatch.

However, the battle plan has not been issued for a long time, and it is unknown what went wrong. That day, the troops were having lunch.Suddenly there was a report that a large group of Korean soldiers had rushed over, and the number of them was incalculable.Gao Li made such a surprise attack, Hao Chujun's subordinates panicked.Everyone didn't want to be hacked to death in the chaos, and nervously looked at Hao Chujun who was devouring rice (Tang Jun's main food, similar to fried flour or instant noodles, which can be eaten after soaking in water). Hao Chujun calmly wiped the scum from his mouth, stood up, led a group of elites and rushed out.

A few minutes later, Hao Chujun came back. Everyone hurriedly climbed up and looked far away, only then did they know that the Gaoli army was killed by the elite and suffered heavy casualties, and fled in embarrassment. Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Hao Chujun calmly walked back to his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and continued to eat. Under the city of Fuyu not far from here, Xue Rengui also started his actions amidst the astonishing discussions among the crowd. Because Fuyu City is very strong and the key point, if it can be taken, more than 40 cities in Fuyuchuan can be included in the bag immediately.Xue Rengui was willing to serve as a striker, so he asked Li Ji to ask for 2,000 troops.Everyone's opinion is more consistent, that is, two thousand people are really too few.Such a magnificent city can be settled with only 2,000 soldiers and horses. It really doesn't take city defense seriously.Xue Rengui only gave one sentence: "Soldiers are useful, not many people!"

After saying that, two thousand mysterious armored cavalry rushed towards the city like lightning.More than ten thousand soldiers from Goryeo came out and almost all died in front of Tang Bing. Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, the Tang soldiers were invincible and successfully captured Fuyu, and forty surrounding cities surrendered one after another. Fuyuchuan was finished, and Yuan Nanjian's hard-earned first layer of defense also collapsed.Yuan Nanjian couldn't tolerate the tragedy. He personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and headed towards the place where the Tang army camped with his father's resolute and firm eyes.Yes, the success or failure of Goguryeo lies in this battle.

Victory means prosperity and wealth; defeat means shame and humiliation. Yuan Nanjian knew that whether he could win the victory in this desperate game was related to the survival of Goguryeo, and even more related to his own life and death.He calmly glanced at the army behind him, and nodded confidently. All of Gai Suwen's commanding skills will be brought into full play by Yuan Nanjian! Xue Heshui, Yuan Nanjian, 50,000 troops. He suddenly encountered a Tang army, and the killing sound shook the sky. After a bloody battle, the situation became: Xue Heshui, Yuan Nanjian, 20,000 troops.

Yuan Nanjian just ran away, and when he realized that he had killed 30,000 people, he remembered to ask who the other party was. British Duke Li Ji, Xuanjia Army, remember? Remember, I will take revenge! Li Ji would not have the same knowledge as Yuan Nanjian. After beheading 30,000 people, Li Ji took advantage of the victory to storm Daxing City (Dandong, Liaoning) and pull him out.There were frequent good news ahead, and Li Zhi, who was squatting at the back, couldn't sit still, but his small body would not agree if he wanted to take the lead in person.Li Zhi was always worried that Koryo would not be defeated, so he asked Jia Yanzhong, the censor who had just returned from a visit to the Koryo battlefield: "Will the Eastern Expedition be able to defeat Koryo?"

Jia Yanzhong: "Koryo will be leveled!" Li Zhi: "Where does Ai Qing get her confidence?" Jia Yanzhong: "Emperor Yangdi went to the east, and people's hearts were scattered, so he didn't come down; the first emperor went to the east, and Koryo was strong; your majesty went to the east, and Koryo was in civil strife, and powerful officials controlled the government. Gai Suwen died, and the brothers also fought among themselves. The eldest son attached himself to the Tang Dynasty. Zi killed my elder brother, we took the boy from Quan as our guide, knew ourselves and the enemy, and won a hundred battles. Moreover, with the accumulation of so many years, the country is prosperous and strong, and the soldiers have also devoted themselves to it. Without the turmoil in other regions, Korea will definitely win."

Li Zhi: "What if you can't?" Jia Yanzhong: "I can't, I can't. Goryeo has been famine year after year, and evildoers have repeatedly made trouble. If we don't take it down now, there will be no chance in the future." "evildoer?" "Yes, evildoer?" "Yan Zhong, where is the evildoer?" ... Monsters appeared in the second year of Qianfeng and the first year of Zongzhang. According to Taishi records, the solar eclipse on the first day of August in the second year of Qianfeng (AD 667) indicated that some people's hearts were eaten by dogs; 668) in April, a comet passed by Wuche (the ancient constellation, usually in the north).On the day when the comet passed by, Li Zhi was really taken aback. He was still thinking about whether he had done something wrong, avoiding the main hall, and ran to the side room.

Minus meals, no music. On that day, Xu Jingzong appealed and strongly urged Li Zhi not to be so self-abuse. He said: "The broom star sweeps from the northeast, but it was actually caused by Goryeo!" Li Zhi bowed his head dejectedly, and refuted Xu Jingzong's point of view, "I did not do well myself, and God punished me, so I should think about my mistakes. I made mistakes myself, how can I add mistakes to the little ones?" On the head of Dongyi? Besides, the people of Goryeo are also my people. Isn’t it my responsibility for their suffering? My people too)? You go, let Jia Yanzhong come."

"Yan Zhong, among the generals in Liaodong, who is the most capable?" This is a very thorny issue. If you say good, you will be suspected of fooling people, but if you say anything bad about anyone, you will be suspected of defamation.Jia Yanzhong gave his own answer very cleverly: "Xue Rengui was brave enough to win the three armies; Pang Tongshan was not good at fighting, but he was strict in holding the army; , but has the talent to govern; but he is careful day and night, forgetting about his body and worrying about the country, and Li Ji is no match." Be careful all day long, forget about your body and worry about your country, nothing like Li Jiye.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Jia Yanzhong's comments. Li Ji, after pulling out Daxing City, the armies from all walks of life gathered and pressed down on Yaluzhai. As the name suggests, the garrison of the Yalu River is here, which was arranged by Mr. Yuan for Yuan Nanjian.Yuan Nanjian mobilized everyone. He said: "Everyone can lose face, or they can lose face, but you can't lose Yaluzhai for me. In this defense battle, only success is not allowed. Failure is not allowed." Yuan Nanjian used his usual seriousness The expression on his face told everyone that if he lost this place, even if Tang Jun didn't kill them, he, Yuan Er, would kill them. With the belief that they must be defeated, the defenders fled after contacting Li Ji's army for a few minutes, and were chased for more than 200 miles. Unexpectedly, the Yalu River came here like this. After unplugging Chenyi City (Anju, North Korea), the army went straight to Pyongyang.Under the leadership of Qibi Heli, the vanguard army has already reached the city of Pyongyang.Seeing that there was no need to resist, the soldiers from other cities and Korea all followed under Li Ji's account.Li Ji's army arrived one after another and surrounded the capital of Koryo.The biggest feature of Pyongyang City is that it is extremely difficult to attack. Su Dingfang had already come here, but was blocked by the high city wall of Pyongyang. Li Ji, will you have that patience? What is a good general? A truly excellent general will be like a thunderbolt when he starts a battle, and he will be like a dead man when he is quiet. Li Ji at this moment has completely become a dead man.He squatted motionless under the city of Pyongyang. Apart from meeting the generals and city lords of various departments in Koryo, he was studying Yuan Nanjian's psychology.The Tang soldiers also did their own work. When they were most free, everyone began to study horse manure.The huge army squatted bored outside Pyongyang, but inside Pyongyang, there was never any sign.If you really go on like this, I am afraid that both sides will suffer from hunger. A month has passed, and everyone is quite disappointed. The miracle happened at the most boring moment for everyone. One day, the city gate of Pyongyang suddenly opened wide, and a square team of ninety-eight people walked out from under the gate.The square team held up white banners with solemn expressions.Everyone doesn't know the leader, but what is certain is that this person is not Yuan Nanjian. Later, everyone realized that this guy was born by Yuan Nanjian's younger brother Yuan Nanjian. Because he went out of the city, he fought with Yuan Nanjian.Yuan Nan produced the city and surrendered, but Yuan Nanjian, who could not die in the city, could only be forced to a dead end by the Tang army after his younger brother surrendered. Being able to make such a wasteful choice shows that Yuan Nanjian is a stubborn person. Yuan Nanchan had already made enough psychological preparations. After he was about to surrender, Tang Bing rushed up and chopped him into meat paste, or pushed him to the ground, ravaging him to his heart's content.Worst of all, it would have to be questioned carefully and treated with a cold attitude. But Li Ji's performance made Yuan Nanchan feel that he really made a correct choice. Tang Jun's chief met him very friendly, but he pretended to criticize the King of Korea who was a puppet.After Yuan Nan gave birth to the city, Yuan Nanjian, who closed the city gate and continued to stand firm, suddenly became very kind, and sent several troops to carry out surprise attacks one after another.But every time, those troops who left the city were killed by Tang Jun until there was not even a scum left.A few days later, Yuan Nanjian was on the verge of collapse, and his military advisor, Monk Xincheng, betrayed him. Xincheng is willing to act as Li Ji's internal support, and everyone can win Pyongyang if they cooperate with each other. Yuan Nanjian still hasn't figured out where he lost. Five days later, Xincheng had someone open the city gate, and a few minutes later, Tang soldiers and Tang flags were all over the city wall. The crowd cheered and sang, and some even burned the wood on the city wall to use as toys.In order to vent their emotions, someone beat the cowhide drum on the city.Li Ji expressed Li Zhi's meaning that Goryeo has now become a part of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Tang people.Seeing that the massacre and looting that Yuan Nanjian threatened them did not occur, everyone was also satisfied. As for Yuan Nanjian, because he was greatly stimulated, he hid in the house and wanted to commit suicide. Probably because the suicide technique was immature, I stabbed myself several times, but I didn't stab myself to death. After being searched by Tang soldiers, he was captured by Li Ji. The Tang army withdrew and returned to Chang'an after a whole month. What awaited them was a grand welcome ceremony.According to Li Zhi's opinion, the Xuanjia army rushed to Zhaoling first with the prisoners.On Jiuyi Mountain, the soldiers sang military songs.Li Ji felt sad because of this, he will never forget the way Li Shimin burned his beard and boiled medicine for him.The old scene is gone forever.Let's go back to Chang'an! Gao Zang, Yuan Nanjian and others were dragged to Taimiao, and after completing the procedures, they were dragged to Hanyuan Hall.Li Zhi clasped his fingers, anxiously and joyfully waiting for the captives to arrive.He has already figured out how to deal with these people, and he will not insult his father's reputation.Datang's generosity and tolerance will be reflected in the weak Li Zhi.Li Zhi ordered: pardon Gaozang, thinking that Siping Taichang Bo (that is, Minister of the Ministry of Industry) and other officials are the same; For the right guard general.Li Ji's generals and meritorious soldiers were rewarded generously. Only when rewards and punishments are measured, and when grace and power are given together, can the evil be punished and the good promoted. This is what Li Shimin often said to Li Zhi.Therefore, Comrade Yuan Nanjian, who attempted suicide, should be unlucky, and he was exiled to Qianzhou.Li Zhi gave Comrade Fu Yufeng, who fled to Pyongyang, the opportunity to fully explore his potential, and also exiled him to Lingnan. Fu Yufeng has been a rare language genius in his life. In the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who were proficient in the five Hu languages, but there were almost no people who really mastered the four languages ​​of Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.Fu Yufeng, from Japan to North Korea, and then from North Korea to China, spent his whole life under the fence of others, and his life was extremely miserable.But he was also powerful, so when he was exiled to the south, would he also die of resentment? Fu Yufeng has since disappeared, and no one knows where he went. Goguryeo was founded in 37 BC. The founder of the country was the prince of Fuyu, Zhu Mong. He fled from Songyuan, Jilin to the banks of the Yalu River, and began to expand wildly.In the fifth century, Goguryeo reached its peak and continued to expand in Northeast China.Therefore, Yang Guang's confrontation with Goguryeo was a matter of last resort.Pei Ju, the best international situation analysis expert in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, supported Yang Guang, and this led to the history of Sui's three attacks on Goguryeo. No matter from which point of view, not unifying Goguryeo does not mean that you love peace, but it can only mean that you, an emperor, are worthless.Li Shimin has a kind, so he carried out continuous attacks on Goguryeo during the heyday of Goguryeo.Li Zhi inherited his father's business, and when Goguryeo was harassed by his father, he ordered the army to recover the place. Li Zhi has made great contributions to such feats. However, let us thank Yang Guang, a tyrant who loves to do great things that harm the present and benefit the future.I also want to thank Li Shimin, who paved the way for the pacification of Northeast China and chose Li Ji and Xue Rengui for Li Zhi.As an excellent Shoucheng monarch, Li Zhi established the Andong Protectorate in the old place of Goguryeo, and there were five parts of Goguryeo, a total of 176 cities and 690,000 households, all of which were placed under the name of Datang. In order to facilitate management, nine Dufufu, forty-two prefectures, and one hundred counties were set up in Goguryeo.The chiefs of Goguryeo, who are respected by people and have meritorious service, served as the governor and governor of each state respectively, and the imperial court sent people to manage them.In order to prevent the story of Baekje from happening, the imperial court appointed Xue Rengui to sit in the Andong Governor's Mansion, leaving 20,000 Xuanjia to guard it.
