Hu Sizheng frowned and said: "Yu Mingcai won a big victory, and his morale was high, and then he divided his troops to attack Wuci, and the momentum was violent. We must not back down, and when we give a blow head-on, we will frustrate its spirit, otherwise he will win a few more battles, and let those 100,000 recruits go through the tempering of the war, I am afraid that they will gradually gain the upper hand. At that time, the Sui army will have an advantage in terms of strength and food, and the quality of the soldiers will also catch up, so the defeat of our army will be inevitable! ”

After hearing this, Gai Su was puzzled and said: "Mr. Hu, it is precisely with this in mind that the marshal led his troops to take the initiative to attack, trying to break the army of Yuming to Wuci, so as to ensure the smooth retreat of our army!" Why did Lord Hu say that something was wrong? ”

Hu Sizheng said expressionlessly: "Although Yu Ming is now dividing his troops to Wuci, the number of people he left behind in the camp is still about 100,000. At present, the number of our troops left behind in the camp is only more than 90,000. If the main force of our army goes out of the camp to the east, the enemy army will divide his troops and chase after us from behind. Under the front and rear attacks, the generals asked themselves what chance of victory they had against the 100,000 Sui army? ”

When the generals heard this, they were all silent. They also knew that the fighting power of the Sui army was amazing. The coalition may be able to defeat the newly recruited recruits in the Sui army, but it will be difficult to defeat the elite Zuoling Guards. And now that the Sui army has divided its troops, there are cavalry of the Zuoling Guards in the front and rear armies, and both sides are old with the new, and it is really difficult to fight.

Gao Jianwu also frowned and asked, "According to Lord Hu's wishes, what should our army do?" ”

Hu Sizheng smiled slightly and said: "Marshal Gao, I expect Yuming to attack Wuci is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. He knew that our army would hold on to the camp, and if it was forced to attack, it would suffer heavy casualties. And our army divided its troops to attack Liaodong, Fuyu, and Heishi City in his rear, and it was not possible for him to save it, nor could it be saved if he did not. So, instead of saving him, he sent troops to attack our rear. ”

"Wutz is the lifeblood of our army, and if we lead troops to attack, we can't help it. If he sets up an ambush on the way, so that our army crashes headlong into a trap because of its eagerness to rescue, it can easily annihilate the main force of our army. In this way, the big picture is decided. And we are not what he wants. Come and kill him by surprise! ”

"Oh? Will Lord Hu come out? Gao Jianwu also asked eagerly.

Hu Sizheng twisted his chin and said: "At present, the main forces of the Sui army are concentrated in the camp, and the rear is empty. Just as Wuci is the lifeblood of our army, Liaodong City is also the lifeblood of the Sui army. If it is occupied by our army, Yuming will also face the danger of being cut off. Our army can now be divided into two, in addition to Marshal Gao led the troops to the east to rescue Wuci, another order to attack the feint army to attack Liaodong City, Liaodong is in an emergency, Yuming will naturally turn back to rescue, otherwise they may be defeated faster than us. At that time, taking advantage of their turnaround, troops from the large camp were sent to meet the attack. Marshal Gao pursued again. I dare not say that it is an absolute victory, at least it can keep Wutz safe. ”

Gao Jianwu showed a look of approval, and his heart was indeed worthy of his reputation, this kind of strategy to counter-encircle Wei and save Zhao, none of the staff in his army could think of it.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with joy in his eyes: "Hu Junshi's plan is very good, Yuming wants to attack the place I must save, lead our army to rescue, and then ambush halfway, but I never thought that I would attack the place he must save again." His division of troops was a risk, and if his army was full of veterans, he could use it. But most of his soldiers are newly recruited civilians, and their quality is low, so they are not vulnerable at all......"

After a pause, Gao Jianwu snorted coldly and said, "Yuming, this hairy little man, thinks that I, Gao Jianwu, am so easy to ambush?" I want to see him, I'll go to Wuci, what kind of trap can he set up for me Gao Jianwu to get into! ”

After that, he glanced at the various subordinates around him, and felt that he couldn't let them be idle like this and preserve their strength. So he said: "The two brothers Kubulai and Abao Cave listen to the order!" ”

"What does the marshal command?" The two looked at each other and asked hurriedly.

"Brother Kubrai, I want to take you as the commander of the march, lead 5,000 Tiele cavalry to set off at night, take over the command of the division of troops, and sneak attack Liaodong City! Induce Yuming to return to the army, I don't know if you are willing? ”

"No problem!" Kubrai readily agreed. He felt that this was a good errand, and he could also take over the power of dividing the troops, and he would naturally not object to the addiction of the commander.

At this time, Gao Jianwu said again: "Brother Abaoguo, you led 15,000 cavalry of the Xi and Khitan tribes out of the camp to the west and marched towards the camp of the Sui army, not to conquer the opponent's camp. Instead, they harassed their minds and prevented them from increasing their troops in the direction of Liaodong City and Wuci. If the enemy's camp is empty of defense, you can also try to attack, if the enemy is too strong to break through, pick a dangerous place nearby and set up a camp, and when I destroy the enemy's advance attacking the Wuci, I will come to help! ”

Abao thought for a while, and felt that this was not a chore, he could attack and retreat, so he also bowed down and said, "No problem!" ”

Gao Jianwu smiled slightly, then turned to Yuan Zuo and said, "General Yuan, the camp will be handed over to you to guard." I will leave 20,000 people and horses of the Heishui and Sumo tribes to guard the camp, and Mr. Hu will assist, so it should be no problem to hold on for a few days, right? ”

Yuan Zuo hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the last general dares to guarantee with his head, and he will wait until the general returns completely!" ”

"Good!" Gao Jianwu said happily: "I, I, and the two generals Yizhide and Gaisu, will personally lead 60,000 troops from the official road to Wuci, and see who will kill Yuminglu!" ”

Everyone roared: "Our army will win!" Then he went down and began to dispatch his troops, ready to go.

After everyone left, Gao Jianwu looked out the window at this time, and said with a disdainful expression: "In fact, from here to Wuci, there is only one place to set up an ambush along the way, that is Wulong Valley, I want to see, what kind of net did Yuming lay to meet me?" ”

……

When Gao Jianwu was still discussing in the camp, Yu Ming had already led the army to Wulong Valley to set up defenses. He actually played a trick. It was the banner of Guo Yi and Qin Qiong, but the soldiers led were the elite troops of the Wanzuoling Guards and the victorious army of 20,000 Qin Qiong. At the same time, he also brought Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin, and Qin Qiongyuan generals.

And the recruits, he only brought the troops of the Qianmo Sword Battalion. The rest of the men and horses were reinforced by Lin Mo with 20,000 guerrilla troops. The rest of the men and horses stayed in the large camp, under the command of Wei Chi Jingde, to guard against a possible attack by the enemy.

After all, he sent out his most elite troops, regardless of the safety of the cities in the rear. In order to make a desperate bet and defeat Gao Jianwu and the elite troops of Wan Goryeo under his command on the battlefield.

Yu Ming knows very well that although there are more than 100,000 people in the Goryeo coalition army, its core is the 60,000 elite soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom itself, which is also the elite that Goryeo has survived after two Great Sui expeditions and fierce battles with Zhang Xutuo's army. It was precisely by relying on these troops that Gao Jianwu was able to suppress the coalition forces of the various departments of the Liaodong grassland.

If the 60,000 elites of Goryeo are annihilated, the Goryeo coalition army will face a situation where the servants are strong and the masters are weak, and the various departments of the Liaodong steppe will have different intentions, and their alliance will inevitably collapse. Lay the foundation for a quick defeat of Goryeo and capture Liaodong. Therefore, although many generals opposed him to make such a desperate bet and fight Gao Jianwu, Yuming still made such a decision.

……

The Valley of the Five Dragons, as the name suggests, is a valley where the legend of the five-colored dragon descended. Sandwiched between the continuous Liaodong Mountains and the Yalu River, it is a necessary route from the Goryeo Coalition Army to the east of the camp to Buts. In fact, the terrain of this valley is not dangerous, the terrain in the valley is gentle, but if someone builds fortifications in this valley, it is not easy to break through.

It is just between the big camp and the Wuts, a little closer to the big camp. Therefore, after Gao Jianwu knew that Yuming was leaving, he immediately ordered Gaisu to lead 2,000 light cavalry and 8,000 cavalry infantry as the front army to set off first to intercept Yuming.

Gao Jianwu's plan was that even if Gaisu could not intercept the Sui army, he would entangle them and prevent them from advancing towards Wuci.

However, he himself personally led the army of 10,000 people eastward along the official road, preparing to join in the middle of the battle between Gaisu and Yuming. He calculated that at this time, when the enemy saw the arrival of his reinforcements, his morale should be greatly damaged. Although Gao Jianwu knew that his martial arts were inferior to Yu Ming, he was very confident in commanding the battle on the spot, believing that he could defeat the Sui army. In one fell swoop, the situation in which Yuming defeated Liu Guangshi's army and the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted.

The breeze was blowing, the horses' hooves were urgent, and Gaisu marched all night, and when he reached the mouth of the Five Dragons Valley, it was already early in the morning. But he did not have the slightest tiredness, and seeing that his team was not in any disorder, the soldiers were still in good spirits, and a sense of revenge rose in his heart.

Since the last time he failed to fight Yuming in the Turkic tent, he has always regarded it as a great shame in his life. Coupled with the previous fiasco in the Battle of the Yalu River, it can be said that the old revenge has not been avenged, and a new hatred has been added. He had been desperate for a chance at revenge. And now, he thinks he's finally waiting for that moment. Now is the time for him to prove his strength, and he Gaisu wants to use a hearty victory to prove to Gao Jianwu and everyone that he is a better general than Yuming.

Yu Ming had already set up a defensive line at the mouth of Wulong Valley, and after ordering his soldiers to eat breakfast, he felt that the ground vibrated slightly. He turned his head to look to the west, only to see dust and smoke rising everywhere, and half of the air was dyed brown and yellow.

His mind raced, and he knew that it was the Goryeo army that had arrived. But judging from the dust, there should not be many troops, and it seems that Gao Jianwu only sent a small number of troops to intercept it in order to seize time, trying to seize the important land of Wulong Valley one step ahead.

"Hehe, Gao Jianwu, it's a pity that you're still a step late!" Yu Ming sneered, and then stared towards the distant sky.

He stared at the cloud-obscured dust in the distance, and saw that the silhouette of the enemy was already faintly visible. A major battle that would decide the fate of the Sui army of Goryeo and Liaodong was imminent.
