Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 237 Bing Goguryeo

In the imperial study of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin casually opened the letter of credence written by King Pingyang.

As a result, just after reading a few words, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened even more, and his whole body was full of evil spirits.

In Li Shimin's life, it was actually very difficult for people to offend him, but this time King Pingyang still offended him.

Because in the letter of credence, King Pingyang actually touched Li Shimin's taboo and directly called him 'Tang Tong'!
The name Tang Tong was still the scornful name given to Li Shimin by the East Turkic Jieli Khan when he invaded the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and approached Chang'an on the banks of the Weishui River.

For this reason, Li Shimin specifically mentioned to Li Jing, the Duke of Wei who later attacked the Eastern Turks, that Jieli Khan must be captured alive.

Sure enough, Jieli Khan was defeated and captured, and was finally confined in Chang'an until his death.

And until Xieli died of old age and illness, he never dared to call Li Shimin "Tang Tong" again.

As a result, after so many years, King Pingyang of Goguryeo dared to call Li Shimin "Tang Tong". How could this prevent Li Shimin from being furious?
"The ignorant people are simply too arrogant. The country of small and small pieces dares to compete with my Tang Dynasty. It is simply stupid!" Li Shimin roared and threw the letter of credence out.

"Let's all take a look, too, and see how arrogant and shameless Goguryeo, the king of Pingyang, is, how he belittles my Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin's words made the princes present full of curiosity, so they quickly picked up the credentials from the ground and read them carefully.

Just looking at the "Tang Tong" at the beginning, the princes of the country suddenly understood why Li Shimin was so angry. After reading the absurd words said by King Pingyang later, it became clearer that Goguryeo is doomed this time!

"Sure enough, it's a land of barbarians. They don't know what to say. They are arrogant and arrogant, and they don't know what to say!"

"How dare you ignore my Tang's words, blind his dog's eyes, and dare to shout like this, destroy them!"

"Since this is the case, then there is no need to say anything, just see Zhenzhang on the battlefield, Your Majesty, please let Duke Wei launch an offensive immediately and raze Goguryeo to the ground!"

The princes of the Tang Dynasty were all yelling, especially Wei Zheng and other civil servants who were still thinking about not starting a war, they yelled the loudest.

Why did he not want to fight at the beginning, and now he wants to fight so much, Wei Zheng even shouted that the entire Goguryeo would be "razed to the ground", so it can be imagined that Goguryeo's fate this time is already doomed.

Standing in the corner, Li Fu watched the scene in front of him, and really wanted to laugh in his heart.

After all, they all know the virtues of Goguryeo, which is why they are so furious, one by one clamoring to massacre the city and destroy the country.

Of course, Datang also has such confidence. Since Goguryeo is not convinced, let's try to see if Datang will be like Emperor Sui Yang. The Central Plains Dynasty is really easy to bully!

Li Shimin waved his hand at this time, "Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, issued an order immediately, ordering Wei Guogong, Ying Yinggong and others to take down the 36 cities of Liaodong as soon as possible after arriving at the front line. Who dares to obstruct the Tang Dynasty? !"

"I obey the order!" Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, knelt down immediately to accept the order.

And at this moment, Li Fu suddenly felt blessed and thought of something.

[Hey, I almost forgot, there should still be two talents in Goguryeo at this time. 】

[It seems that one is Quangai Suwen and the other is Ulji Wende. These two guys have two brushes! 】

Quan Gai Su Wen?Ulchi Wendeok?What are these names?But Li Shimin also felt familiar.

But the generals from Goguryeo, even if they have some talents, can they be stronger than the Duke of England and the Duke of Wei?
But since Li Fu said it from his heart, it doesn't hurt to listen to it. After all, it is also good to reduce casualties of some soldiers.

So Li Shimin listened carefully to Li Fu's heart, and the more he retreated, the more serious his face became.

[If there is no accident, King Pingyang of Goguryeo should send Ulji Mundeok to lead his troops to fight Weiguo Gong and others. 】

[Ulchi Mundeok, who can be regarded as both civil and military, is also an excellent political bureau. After all, he was the prime minister of Goguryeo, and now he is the general of Goguryeo. He is one of the pillars of Goguryeo. 】

[His ability, in fact, had already played a considerable role when Emperor Sui Yang conquered Goguryeo. 】

[Back then, Yang Guang sent millions of troops to attack Goguryeo. Facing the overwhelming Sui offensive, Ulji Mundeok resorted to despicable means of repeatedly asking for surrender and delaying time tactics, and fought with the Sui army for several months. 】

[During the delay, Ulji Wendeok lured the enemy to go deep, and built a dam to store water where the Sui army must pass. When the Sui army passed through the dry riverbed without any precautions, Ulji Wendeok ordered the dam to be blown up to release the water! 】

[At that time, tens of thousands of Sui troops were in trouble because of this, and then Ulchi Mundeok personally led the Goguryeo army, which had been recharging its strength for a long time, to encircle and siege the Sui army, which finally led to the superior strength of the Sui army. Qu defeated and returned. 】

Li Fu had read these words from history books and had not personally experienced them, but when he heard them in Li Shimin's ears, he felt the same way.

Although Li Shimin didn't experience it personally, Li Shimin had personally experienced the tragic situation back then.

The great defeat of the Sui Dynasty can be described as traumatic, and it was so aggrieved that after Emperor Sui Yang returned to the court, he ordered no one to explain the reason for this failure.

However, Li Shimin was very aware of the reasons for the failure of the Sui Dynasty, but he did not expect that the Goguryeo general who caused the Sui army's defeat back then would be the same person as the Goguryeo general who is about to fight the Tang army now!

Ulchi Wendeok!Repeatedly asking for surrender, delaying tactics, and building dams to store water, playing water attack, right?

Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he had already remembered Eulji Wende in his heart, and when the people below left, he immediately arranged for Baiqi to take his own handwriting and send a message to Li Jing, asking Li Jing to go and do a good job. Defense against Ulchi Boondeok.

At this moment, Prince Li Fu didn't know that his own father had already listened to everything he thought, and he was still slandering him.

[The other Quangai Suwen should be second only to Ulji Wende in status now, and he will take over after Ulchi Wende died! 】

[Because of being suppressed by Eulji Wende all the time, Quangai Suwen's psychology is actually very dark. 】

[The current Quangai Suwen should be in a state of forbearance, and his strength has not been fully developed, so his ability should not be as good as the current Ulji Wende. 】

[But we must take precautions before they happen. This guy is the most powerful minister of Goguryeo after Ulji Mundeok died of illness in the late period of King Pingyang! 】

[There is no one who can be called a powerful minister in this era, and it is true that after the death of King Pingyang, Goguryeo became the scene of Quangai Suwen's dominance. It has been pinched with Datang for many years. He even boiled that old man Li Er to death! 】
