The information Li Ke gave him did not explain the situation of Liu Zhao, but only said that they had an internal agent under the minister of Goguryeo Yeon Gaesumun.
"It's like this. Liu Zhao once led a team of Goguryeo assassins to assassinate His Highness the King of Qin." Gao Xu said.
"?" Li Shiji was completely confused. What kind of beginning is this? assassin? What does an assassin look like? Theoretically speaking, assassins are all dead soldiers, which means that those who are absolutely impossible to rebel are sent as assassins.
The point is, aren't they here to assassinate His Highness? Why did he suddenly become a spy for the Tang Dynasty?
Gao Xu then told Li Shiji the original situation of Liu Zhao and others.
After hearing this, Li Shiji felt bad, even though he knew that His Highness was very powerful, or that His Highness was very good at persuading people.
But this... can directly convince the people who assassinated him to become his spies... The point is that he didn't persuade them repeatedly, he just went to see them once. Just this once, can he convince these people?
What kind of magical method is this?
Li Shiji couldn't imagine it anyway.
"So, we have always been in contact with Liu Zhao?" Li Shiji asked.
"Yes, Liu Zhao and the others have been providing us with information. In addition, with our support, for example, our frontline troops occasionally provided them with some information, allowing Liu Zhao and the others to make some contributions, which also allowed them to win in the Yuan Dynasty. Gesuwen’s subordinates have been put into higher regard.”
"According to the latest intelligence from about a month ago, Liu Zhao and his group have probably incited at least hundreds of villages to rebel.
These villages are located where the border between Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty intersects, including some inside Goguryeo. These villages are often their secret bases.
Li Shiji was silent.
This... I have never fought such a rich war. Hundreds of villages alone were instigated to rebel, although hundreds of villages may only be hundreds of thousands of people for Goguryeo.
But he is well aware of the influence of hundreds of thousands of people.
And with the support of the people and without the support of the people, the impact on Datang is not the slightest.
"In this case, can you find a way to contact them, and then ask them to point out all the villages that instigated rebellion through the map? Regarding the detailed map of the Goguryeo area, your intelligence department must have it here. Let them directly put it on the accurate map. Provide one?" Li Shiji asked.
"Of course, but it will take almost a month for the intelligence map to be sent back. If we are simply transmitting news, our radio device is already ready for use." Gao Xu said simply.
"No problem, wait a month, even if the start of the war is postponed, it is necessary." Li Shiji nodded. In fact, it is not the time to start the war. It will have to wait until at least a month later, when the weather in the north gets warmer.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Gao Xu said decisively.
After saying that, Gao Xu turned around and left. After Gao Xu left, Li Shiji didn't know what to say. No wonder His Highness was so confident. Not to mention the crushing weapons and equipment, just this simple information made him Datang was in an invincible position.
What does it feel like to know the enemy's full strength and deployment? I have never fought such a rich battle. Isn’t this just a random arrangement for them?
Liaodong City, this is the important town of Goguryeo in the entire Liaodong region. Goguryeo not only built large-scale fortifications here, but it was also a place where Goguryeo accumulated heavy troops.
Liaodong City was the city of Liaoyang in Liaoning Province in later generations.
Because to the west of Liaodong City is a swamp with a radius of two hundred miles, the terrain is very unfavorable for the deployment of the army, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also Xuantu City (later Shenyang City, Liaoning) to the north of Liaodong City, and northwest of Xuantu City In the direction is Tongding Town (later Xinmin City, Liaoning Province), and to the northeast of Liaodong City is Gaimou City (later Fushun City, Liaoning Province).
These cities and towns rely on each other and are horns of each other. They are not far apart and can help each other. This is an important gateway for the entire Goguryeo region in Liaodong. Once this is broken through, the entire hinterland of Goguryeo will be completely opened. .
It was here that the million-strong Sui army was dragged to death by Goguryeo.
At present, the Tang army's frontline has crossed Jinzhou City. Jinzhou was assigned to Dingzhou in the Zhenguan Year, but Li Ke changed the national city naming reform, otherwise Li Ke himself would not know what to call many names.
Since he is reforming, he must be the leader.
Similarly, the Tang army was gathering on the Fuxin front line of the Tang Dynasty. Fuxin was the territory of the Khitan in the past few years, but in Xue Yantuo, Shi Wei and other khans, they all betrayed their country. Well, they sold their country and surrendered to the Great Tang. In the Tang Dynasty, after moving to Chang'an and living a very happy life, the khans of small tribes such as Khitan followed suit without saying a word.
The power of role models is powerful. They had never thought of such a method before, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty gave too much, and the colorful world life in Chang'an could be said to be impossible for all the Khans to refuse.
And it can be enjoyed at all times. Who the hell wants to suffer outside the Great Wall?
So naturally, these places all joined the Tang Dynasty, and now the place names here have been changed to Fuxin. It's just that Fuxin City is not even a small town now. The Khitans are nomadic people, and there is no city here.
But Datang will definitely build a city here in the future.
Liaodong City, since the war with the Tang Dynasty in Silla, has been the key defense target of Goguryeo. Similarly, Liu Zhao and others have also arrived here. Although Yeon Gaesumun is not here, of course this is the traditional territory of Yeon Gaesumun. Very seriously.
When Liu Zhao left his residence in the morning, he saw a small stall set up opposite his door, and the stall owner was hawking there.
Liu Zhao paused when he saw this stall owner. This was the contact point for the Datang Intelligence Department.
Liu Zhao paused and turned around.
"General, do you want to buy something to eat? The newly made meatloaf (new order) is very fresh (very important), and it is no worse than the one at Shiweitian (meeting place)." The vendor above the stall said with a smile. road.
"Okay, come two (I know), give them two each, let them have a taste (they are our own, but don't know)." Liu Zhao pointed to the two guards behind him.
"Yes! Thank you, General. Thank you, General." The hawker quickly began to prepare meat patties for Liu Zhao.
"Hey, since he mentioned food as his top priority, I really want to eat their sauced venison. I'll go over there at noon (meeting time)." Liu Zhao said to the two people next to him.
"It's General." The two guards also laughed.
