Chapter 63 Stud
Stud!
General!
The bet this time was quite heavy.
After writing the letter and sending it to Li Jing, Chu Tianxiu, who had firm eyes and a ruthless look on his face, suddenly felt as if he had some liver pain.
This time, he really boasted.
Yes, his letter could definitely attract Li Jing to Jiangyin. After all, in the Sui Dynasty, no general of the Sui Dynasty could refuse the opportunity to ride on Goguryeo and wash away the shame of the failure of the second expedition to Goguryeo.
But at the same time, this matter really bothered Chu Tianxiu.
Goguryeo is not the Goryeo of later generations, a small country like the Linyi Kingdom, but a country bordering the Sea of Japan in the east, controlling the Han River Basin in the south, crossing the Liao River in the northwest, reaching the Huifa River in the north, and the Second Songhua River Basin, just like in later generations.
The Jurchen and Houjin tribes that separated themselves from Liaodong made the entire Central Plains feel like a giant country thousands of miles away.
The strength of this country can be said to be terrifyingly strong, especially with the blessing of its geographical location. It can even be regarded as a "giant pit" on the border of the Central Plains.
Not to mention that when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty first conquered Goguryeo, he brought an army of one million people. As a result, he won first and then lost. In the end, almost all of them were annihilated in Liaodong.
In addition, Chu Tianxiu noticed another thing.
But when he was really moved, he no longer hesitated and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
If we say that at the beginning, Chu Tianxiu just forced to write such a plan out of the idea of winning over Li Jing.
If we had kept a low profile and remained calm a few days ago, that would have been correct.
Although the foundation of Goguryeo was strong enough, it could take at least twenty years to recover. Even in the early Tang Dynasty, it was able to fight against the Tang Dynasty so hard that Li Shimin was unwilling to die.
This situation almost lasted until Kou Zhong took advantage of the situation and planned to take a boatload of private salt that he had robbed from the Haisha Gang to sell in Guanzhong. He regarded this as spiritual practice and considered it a must in his life.
a stage experienced.
Koo Zhong's selling of private salt is naturally not a practice. But his behavior of setting a difficult goal and then working hard to achieve that almost impossible goal, fighting to the death, is not considered a practice?
…
If it is Goguryeo in its heyday, then Chu Tianxiu should not think about it and just go to bed. The strength of such a regional power can only be defeated by another more powerful power. There will be no second
a reason.
After the Three Wars of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo's soldiers of the right age died and were so injured that the young men were almost extinct, and the country's bone marrow was almost exhausted.
Although this idea was crazy, after Chu Tianxiu considered it carefully, he found that this would be a turning point in his life.
If Chu Tianxiu needs it, he can choose any valuable coast to land, and then drive straight in to Huanglong.
If you don't fight to the death with a truly powerful force, how can you know whether your own force is just flashy and hollow?
My own structure is a bit weak.
Perhaps what I lack most today is such a strong spirit.
For a moment, Chu Tianxiu even couldn't help but think of these two bastards, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Such a terrifying enemy, but Chu Tianxiu had to stroke the tiger's beard with his hands, just like a madman.
But now Chu Tianxiu discovered that the one who was really stupid was actually himself.
When the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, they all advanced by water. Therefore, when the two countries fought, there were indeed several large-scale naval battles. Almost all the ships were destroyed, so that Goguryeo's maritime power was completely destroyed.
Sweep it away.
However, the skill of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can only be applied to a certain stage. If you keep pretending, you will become a pig instead of a pig.
But at the end of the powerful crossbow, the force cannot penetrate the silk element.
If you don't wipe out all the powerful enemies one by one, how will the people in the world know about your reputation and how powerful you are? To attract those truly famous ministers and good generals?
When a strong man wields a sword, he should swing it to a stronger place. How can he just hang out with some weak people?
Even after the founding of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin, the True Dragon Emperor, made several personal conquests, but failed to win completely. He left behind the resentful saying that "if Goguryeo is not eliminated, future generations will be in great trouble."
After these two bastards came out of the mountain, they couldn't figure out anything, and they had no goals or plans. They lived in confusion.
The Sui Dynasty is now in decline, but as the victor, how can Goguryeo fare better?
Perhaps the losses suffered by this country were lighter than those of the Sui Dynasty, but the country's national strength and endurance were not comparable to those of the Sui Dynasty.
But if he is now clearly full-fledged, has strength, influence, and background, and even has lost all his trump cards, but still acts like this, then he is not pretending to be a pig, but a real pig.
The war between the Central Plains and Goguryeo lasted for nearly a hundred years from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. It went through two dynasties and five emperors who have left their names throughout the ages. It was just ten years after Li Shimin's son, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, came to power.
, relying on the unparalleled national power of the Tang Dynasty to defeat Goguryeo.
Chu Tianxiu originally scorned this kind of thing, thinking that it was just two bastards messing around. It had no practical significance and would not bring much help to their future.
Yes, the act of attacking Goguryeo is indeed like a kitten teasing a tiger, but if such a thing is really done, what will Chu Tianxiu have to fear in the future?
The outcome of Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo was indeed the victory of Goguryeo. It indeed exhausted all the vitality of the Sui Dynasty, so that war broke out everywhere, there were countless rebellions, and eventually it died in civil strife.
In the past, Chu Tianxiu was still a little unaware, but after this incident, he suddenly woke up.
Even if Goguryeo is now desperate, it can indeed gather hundreds of thousands of troops, but the quality of the soldiers can be imagined. Not to mention that there will only be some old, weak, sick and disabled left in Goguryeo now, but there will not be
As elite as ever.
Without a sufficient navy, it means that Goguryeo's extremely long coastline is completely undefended.
But the current situation of Goguryeo is very special. It is not the Goguryeo that was at its peak of national power ten years ago and as powerful as a tiger, nor is it the Goguryeo that has been recuperating and regained its national power twenty years later.
A scholar cannot be without honour!
In the past few years, Chu Tianxiu's strategy was actually very clear. It was to strengthen himself as much as possible, lay a solid foundation, build a solid foundation, and expand overseas. He often made a fortune in silence, and was quite capable of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Essence.
If you don't engage in a life-and-death fight with a truly strong person, you won't know whether there are weaknesses and Achilles' heel in your own body, and how can you break through your own limits?
But there is no doubt that Goguryeo at this time was undoubtedly the weakest in its history.
Perhaps Chu Tianxiu's future offensive can refer to the wisdom of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, when Japanese pirates attacked the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong Pi Dao attacked the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing used Taiwan to counterattack the Qing Dynasty.
Relying on their own superior naval vessels, they used guerrilla warfare to harass the coast, stirring up wars everywhere and making their neighbors uneasy.
So unbearable was the Ming and Qing dynasties that they had to impose a sea ban and move all coastal villages inland, and sails were not allowed to sail into the sea.
