Chapter 1248: Since ancient times, Goryeo has been untrustworthy, capricious, easy to defend and difficult to attack
Chapter 1248: Since ancient times, Goryeo has no faith, has been capricious, easy to defend but difficult to attack
"For this reason, many times in history have conquered Goryeo, and the Central Plains army must conquer them and destroy them. Then the winter with rain and snow came."
"So the Central Plains army retreated when they had the right to do so. Otherwise, their soldiers would die of starvation."
"Under this situation, their second largest weapon of Goryeo, "fake decline", highlights its value!"
When Shen Mo said this, he turned around and looked at the little Korean official Yuan Da next to him with a look of earth... Shen Mo recalled in his heart. What did he call Yuan Da just now? Yuan Da or Yuan Da vomit water?
...
Then Shen Mo saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then said:
"At that time, when Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goryeo, the Goryeo defenders in Liaodong City began to close the city and defend after several defeats in battles with the Sui army."
"After that, the Sui army attacked fiercely, and the Liaodong city wall collapsed. The Goryeo defenders were about to be unable to defend, so they immediately hung a white flag and announced their surrender!"
Seeing this scene, the general in charge of the siege did not dare to surrender without authorization, nor did he dare to take advantage of the situation to attack the city. He had to report to Yang Guang urgently. When the imperial edict ordered him to return to the camp, the Goryeo defenders had already taken the opportunity to repair the gap.
Then, these Goryeo people immediately shamelessly pulled off the white flag and continued to resist.
After two or three times like this, this small Liaodong city was surrounded by more than 100,000 troops and could not be captured for a long time!
Such situations happen repeatedly when every city in Goryeo is attacked.
When Shen Mo said this, he looked at the four major consortium merchants who were stunned in front of him, shook his head and said helplessly:
"So when Emperor Yang of Sui marched, he would definitely encounter fraudulent surrender whenever he arrived in a city. The mouths of these Goryeo troops were like lollipops, and they ate and vomited. How could they make sense if they said it!"
"So the entire Sui Dynasty army was so full of energy under this situation that it was so strong that it could not be used."
"When these Korean soldiers and officials surrender, they always say: Give me two days to make arrangements and come out to surrender. After the two days arrive, they ask for another one to delay. After the day passes, they beg for a long time, and finally give up for half a day."
"In the end, they really couldn't hold it over, and these Koreans would say: After our careful consideration, we still won't surrender! We still want to try to see if we can hold on!"
"After this, when they are beaten so hard that they can't raise their heads, they will then raise the white flag shamelessly!"
When Shen Mo said this, he looked at the young Korean man next to him.
Now Yuan Datong has almost spitted the water. After hearing Shen Mo's words, he looked as if he was ashen, but he couldn't say anything powerful to refute Shen Mo.
"In this way, every city will surrender several times." Shen Mo smiled and said to the people of the four major consortiums: "It will be three to two to drag, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye. The Central Plains army should withdraw its troops back!"
"So I will not make those mistakes made by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui." Shen Mo smiled and said, "I will not let Jianghua Island surrender three times in a row like the Liaodong City back then, delaying the time of our army."
"To be honest, these guys have been wasting my two days. It's just Jianghua City, even my ten minutes are worth it!"
When Shen Mo said this, the murderous aura in his words flashed away, which made Yuan Datong next to him suddenly feel cold!
Shen Mo continued: "When Li Shimin marched by land, he relied heavily on the food and supplies transportation line along the way, so he could only push from west to east, from one line to the other. Such tactics are thankless, and I will not learn from him."
"On the shore of Jianghua Island now, to the northwest, it is Kaijing a hundred miles away!"
"So from now on, whenever the Koreans want to surrender, they will be limited to one hour. Once the time comes, if they still refuse to put down their weapons and walk out of the city gate... Then the entire army will kill them, and no one will be left!"
...
Shen Mo's words were so murderous.
I saw that everyone in the command room looked at Shen Mo and thought what he said made sense. Moreover, his solution to this problem was simply and happy!
At this moment, when the young official Yuan Datong, who was a young official in Goryeo, heard Shen Mo's words, his face turned green due to fear and panic!
I want to talk about it here. In Shen Mo's mind, this attack on Goryeo was completely different from the previous attack on Jin Kingdom.
During the attack on the towns of Jin, Shen Mo tried his best to avoid killing the soldiers of Jin who were captured by him, and even deliberately protected the private property of Jin's military generals, local officials, and the safety of their families.
Shen Mo did this because he was unwilling to be subject to stubborn resistance from the Jin Kingdom in future battles.
Because after all, the more tragic the siege battle is, the longer the delay, the more people will be killed or injured in the city.
You know, there are many Han people in the Jin Dynasty!
Moreover, as long as Shen Mo was not good at killing prisoners, more and more Jin people would be willing to surrender to him. When he attacked the huge Jin land, he would also be very little resistance.
But the country of Goryeo is completely different from that of the Jin Dynasty.
First, there are no Han people on this land. Second, these Goryeo people like to shamelessly regard fraud as a useful tactic, and often surrender and rebel again. They are simply happy about fraud!
Even in history, in 1233, less than ten years later, the Goryeo king and minister were driven all the way to Jianghua Island by the Mongols, because of this!
Because at that time, the Mongols had basically conquered Goryeo, but they retained their Goryeo royal court as a vassal state of their own.
But Goryeo was always dissatisfied. He always stabbed the Mongolians in secret and even secretly killed many Mongolian soldiers on the border.
So, the Mongols launched a large number of troops that year and began to attack Goryeo.
As a result, before the Mongols reached the city of Kaijing, Cui Yu immediately announced his surrender!
After that, the Mongolian army, who didn't know what kind of virtue the Goryeo people were, really believed it.
After accepting the surrender of the Goryeo people, they went to Kaijing to have a lot of food and drink, and then left 28 Mongolians here, and the army began to return.
These 28 Mongolian officials are responsible for inspecting tributes and ensuring that the property, horses and treasures offered to Mongolia are sufficient in quantity and quality every year.
