Chapter 300 Reconciliation and Preparation
"How much do you know about Zou Changfeng? How strong is he? How many soldiers and horses are there? Etozhi Wende asked.
"Let's talk about it, you know best." The martial arts master said in a strange way, he was originally a little dissatisfied with Zhong Zijin eating alone, but now that he heard that Zou Yu's people were calling, of course he was even more dissatisfied.
"What do you mean? Where did I learn? Zhong Zijin frowned and said.
"Hehe, aren't you a brother and brother with the young prince of the Central Plains! Am I wrong? Or is it the collusion of the head of the Zhong family, who wants to destroy us and dominate Jiangbei! The martial master asked, squinting his eyes.
"Nonsense!" Zhong Zijin slapped the table and said angrily.
But he didn't know how to refute it, he said to the rest of the people that he and Zou Yu, calling each other brothers, were naturally bragging, giving themselves face, and now they couldn't admit it, so they could only stare at the martial arts master angrily.
"That's it! What time is it! Still squabbling! The head of the Zhong family is not that kind of person, and the master of the martial family does not say a word. Yuan Taizuo said with a cold face.
"Humph!"
"Humph!" The two of them snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads away.
"How many troops have been deployed in Liaodong, we have not been able to find out, because they are very tightly blocked, but this time our spies did not come to report, it is estimated that it is a secret transfer of troops, I guess it should not be a lot." Yuangai Suwen said.
"Hmmm! It's similar to the old man's speculation, because I haven't received any news either. Eulzhiwende nodded in agreement.
"But there is one thing, Liaodong's weapons are very sharp!" Yuangai Suwen reminded.
"Could it be that your weapons are from Liaodong?" Etozhi Wende asked with a frown.
"Ahem! Indeed it is. Yuangai Suwen blushed and admitted embarrassedly.
"That's the problem! I thought you made it, and if there were a lot of these weapons, it would be much easier to win. Etozhi Wende said solemnly.
"Yes! The key to these weapons is certainly not their best. Yuan Taizuo nodded slightly.
"Of course it can't be, Zou Changfeng is definitely not such a stupid person, sell us the best weapons." Etoji Wende said.
"Could it be that his subordinates sold it to us behind their backs?" The martial master guessed.
"Nope! Last time, I also met Zou Changfeng himself! Zhong Zijin said.
"You saw him in person? Why haven't you told us about this? Yuan Taizuo asked with a tiger face.
"Didn't I say that?" Zhong Zijin was stunned for a moment and said, he recalled that it seemed that in order to take advantage of the transaction, he really did not mention the matter of Zou Yu going to Liaodong.
"Humph! Worse than useless! Seeing Zhong Zijin's appearance, everyone still didn't understand, Yuan Taizuo scolded angrily.
Zhong Zijin was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head, he also knew that it was his fault, and he didn't dare to talk back at all, for fear of provoking the anger of the public.
"It's useless to say this now, what else do you know?" Etozhi Wende stopped.
"The Tatars have already taken refuge in them, does this matter?" Zhong Zijin raised his head embarrassedly and whispered.
"Khitan, Xi people, plus the Yan people! In this way, they have a lot of cavalry! Etozhi Wende analyzed.
"There are also many masters, there were two or three people three years ago, and they were not under me! I don't know if there will be another person from the Central Plains. Yuangai Suwen reminded.
"Quite possibly! We know too little about the Central Plains over the years! Damn Zou Changfeng! Ezhi Wende rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.
Zou Yu occupied Liaodong and naturally blocked the road, and it was difficult for them to get news, so they could only send people to go over from the sea, but this sea, no more than land, there were not many people going every time, and there was often only one news in a few months.
In addition, the Central Plains is already in turmoil, and it is even more difficult to know some specific news.
"Can you send this news back to the Central Plains, so that other forces can take the opportunity to attack and force him to withdraw his troops." In order to make up for his mistakes, Zhong Zijin thought hard and suggested.
"It's a little too late, but it's not a lost solution!" Echiwende agreed.
"I don't know how many people came this time, and how many roads were divided?" Yuangai Suwen asked. They were surrounded in the inner city and could be said to know nothing about the outside.
"Together with the waterway, there are four in total! The main commander in the east is Han Qianxun, who has been in Fuyu City, the son of Han Baohu, a general of the Sui Dynasty, who is also a great general, and his ability is not weak. The main general of the north is surnamed Li, who is it and what is it called? I don't know yet, but he has the most men; As for the main general in the west, it is Zou Changfeng, but there are only more than 30,000 people. Etoji replied.
"Thirty thousand? Why don't you kill him first, so that the rest of the horses will naturally retreat! The young master's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"I also know about this, but the sailor is near them, and the old man is worried that he is in a hurry, so he let them cross the river by boat and take Pyongyang directly!" Ezhi Wende asked embarrassedly.
As soon as Ezhi Wende's words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, if Zou Yu really crossed the river and took Pyongyang directly, Gao Jianwu would definitely order the withdrawal of troops to help! In this way, can the domestic city still resist?
"Don't worry, the old man hasn't reported this matter yet." Eji Wende frowned and waved his hand.
"Pyongyang's walls are high and thick, and if you hold on for months, there will definitely be no problem, only 30,000 people, don't worry." Zhong Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief.
"You've thought so well! But high... Would the king think so? The martial master sneered.
"I..."
"The old man has asked the soldiers and horses of Seoul to return to Pyongyang, and report it together when the time comes, so that the king will not be worried." Ezhi Wende said lightly.
He knew that this would definitely make Gao Jianwu dissatisfied, and he would no longer trust him, but now he couldn't care about it so much, and he was tired of this kind of infighting.
"Old General Gao Yi!" Yuan Taizuo naturally saw Yizhi Wende's intentions, and said with admiration.
"Alas! I hope that after this incident, there will be no more civil war, and Goguryeo can no longer withstand such a toss. Oji Wende sighed.
At present, the domestic city, with 400,000 horses, can be said to be the last elite of Goguryeo, and in addition, there are only 80,000 or 90,000 troops in Seoul and Pyongyang, which need to be guarded against Silla Baekje, and they dare not move at all.
"Don't worry, the old general, we don't want Goguryeo to become weak, it's just that the king has no tolerance, so we have to make this decision. After this incident, we will definitely protect Jiangbei with peace of mind! No longer provoke a civil war, and ask the old general to convey our meaning to the king. Yuan Taizuo said earnestly.
"The old man does his best, I don't know if the king can listen to it." Etozhi Wende said with a wry smile.
"Old general, I thought that they should still take advantage of the fact that they did not join forces and break them individually!" Yuangai Suwen suggested.
"It is true, the number of people in the east is unknown, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it is not easy to deal with; The north has already sent people to block it, and now there are only people from the west!
It's just that why did Zou Changfeng only bring 30,000 people here? What is the purpose of this, so that the old man is puzzled! Don't dare to act rashly for a while. Etoshi Wende shook his head and said.
"The old general is worried that this is a decoy and deliberately lured us there?" Yuangai Suwen guessed.
"Indeed!" Eulzhiwende nodded in agreement.
"Whether it's a bait or not, we have so many people, we can also give him a bait, even if it's a bait, then we can even fight with the ambush! After all, the main forces in the north have already dragged on. Yuangai Suwen clenched his fist hard, waved it twice, and said.
"The old man thinks the same thing, and has already sent someone to investigate the ambush soldiers and their routes." Etozhi Wende nodded slightly in agreement.
"At present, there are 40,000 cavalry under the command of the old man, and I plan to use cavalry to deal with them, because there are only 20,000 cavalry along the way, but the cavalry in the east needs your people to stop it, and I can't let them spare it." Etoji Wende said.
These 40,000 cavalry is the entire Goguryeo court, and all the cavalry at present have been given to Eulji Wende, which shows how determined Gao Jianwu is to destroy the family.
"We only have more than 20,000 cavalry, but with the foot soldiers, there will definitely be no problem in delaying." Yuangai Suwen assured.
"That's it!"
"If the old general is relieved, it is better for the last general to go and rob and kill Zou Changfeng, you come to the country and dispatch troops!" Yuangai Suwen suggested.
"Good!" Etozhi Wende said with a sigh of relief.
Yuangai Suwen showed that he would hand over the military power and leave all the men and horses at the disposal of Ezhi Wende, which was the result that Ezhi Wende wanted the most.
