At this time, Wang Shichong walked out embarrassedly, coughed dryly twice, and said: "From the fifth day of next month, my Great Sui will send troops to conquer Goryeo, with 200,000 troops from the northern Wei Prefecture, 200,000 troops from local counties, and 100,000 troops from the forbidden army, a total of 500,000. Then 10,000 people were collected from Shandong, Hedong, Hebei and Henan, and they gathered in Liaodong City before May. ”

After Wang Shichong finished reading, Yang Guangfang said coldly: "I don't know if the secretaries can have any objections to the conscription plan submitted by the Ministry of War?" ”

Everyone in the audience knows that the plan of this military department is actually Yang Guangding's plan, who dares to stand up against it at this time, isn't he waiting to be killed?

After Wang Shichong asked all the questions, there was silence in the hall, and no one answered.

So, he bowed to Yang Guang and said, "Your Majesty, it's over!" It's time to implement the expedition plan! ”

"Good! In this expedition, I will drive the expedition again, and I hope that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will be able to have a hearty drink with all of you in Pyongyang! ”

At this time, Jin Wuwei's captain Fang walked into the main hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Hun and the others have been killed!" ”

Yang Guang nodded and said: "This person doesn't know the current affairs, curses the Great Sui and I, and the sin is unforgivable!" But remembering that he still has old merits, and allowing his family to collect the corpse, the ministers should take this as a warning, and remember not to make the same mistake again......"

In February of the tenth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang made a formal decision to attack Goryeo for the first time, after the order was issued, the world was shocked, especially in Hedong, Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other places where the people were to be recruited, it set off an uproar, in order not to go to Liaodong, fugitive soldiers and peasants abounded. Among them, there are many thieves who go up the mountain. The bandits, who had already lost their strength, have regained their momentum. And Yang Guang didn't pay attention to all this at all.

On the first day after the court meeting, the battle of the Great Sui's first expedition to Goryeo finally kicked off, and Yang Guang announced to all the soldiers at the oath meeting that this would be his last attack on Goryeo, regardless of success or failure. After this battle, everyone will recuperate.

With Yang Guang's order, the army of the Twelve Guards, as well as the people from all over the country who responded to the call, began to gather in Liaodong City from all over the country......

A battle to conquer Goryeo that changed the fate of the Great Sui began!

……

The sky was overcast, and the rain had finally stopped. The sun shone again on the plains. The air is steaming, and a gust of wind is blowing in a heat wave, and this hot and humid breeze blows without feeling cool at all.

Yu Ming squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and the trees in the distance shook faintly in the vapor like reflections in the water. The people who had already braved the rain for the day were all weak.

After he led his army into Liaodong, the weather changed, from sunny to torrential rain. Traveling in this torrential rain, both the soldiers and the surname felt very difficult and tired.

Although Wei Chi Jingde hoped that the team would continue to walk until sunset before resting, both the surname and the soldiers were exhausted.

Yuming also had to tell everyone to rest for half an hour, eat some dry food, and replenish water before going up.

Although he had known that there were many difficulties in this expedition, when he really embarked on the journey, Yuming knew that the situation was more serious than he imagined.

Due to the serious illness of his grandfather Yushu and his inability to go on the expedition, coupled with his merits when he was on a mission to the Turks, Yang Guang appointed him to serve as the general of Zuo Lingwei, commanding the 100,000 soldiers of the province.

But when he went out to recruit soldiers, he found that there were only 10,000 soldiers, and most of the soldiers had fled or did not return to the army as required.

The Sui Dynasty was a government military system, and the soldiers of the army usually farmed at home, and only gathered to participate in the war in wartime. Therefore, in non-war times, the discipline of soldiers is not tight.

But now that it was time to go on the expedition, two out of the soldiers had not arrived, which made Yuming shocked and angry.

When he reported the situation to the Ministry of War, Wang Shichong was also helpless, because not only Zuo Ling's Guard Mansion had this situation, but the other eleven Wei Mansions were not much better, and more than a quarter of the soldiers in the Wei Mansion did not even come back.

The reasons for this are varied.

Some soldiers were afraid to go to Liaodong and fled sexually; Some of them were attacked by bandits, and the local county guards recruited these soldiers to defend against the bandits; There are even some local government soldiers who directly follow the thieves, for example, Li Mi recruited a lot of government soldiers from Dongping County and Chenliu County.

After this news reached Yang Guang's ears, it also made him furious, but he was helpless. However, fortunately, most of the soldiers who fled were poor in combat effectiveness, and the bottom of the Sui army was still there. Moreover, after these soldiers fled, the supply of food and grass, which was originally somewhat stretched, became sufficient again.

However, there was one situation that made Yang Guang a little vigilant: the Dugu clan and the Yuan clan in the Guanlong Gate valve did not send a single brother. Dugu Luo and Yuan Shou went to the show, saying that they were suppressing bandits in Guanzhong and Hedong, and they couldn't get away from them and couldn't come.

Yang Guang already knew that these two gate valves had ill intentions at this time, but he was not as angry as the generals imagined. He just ordered Pei Renji to lead 100,000 troops to garrison Hebei, and Luo Yi to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Beiping Mansion to ensure that the grain route was unimpeded. At the same time, he ordered the younger brothers of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan to be closely monitored. Then he ignored the matter, which made the ministers a little surprised. I wonder how your majesty can be so easy to speak?

In the end, only 200,000 soldiers and 600,000 people arrived at the rendezvous site, which was much smaller than the last two expeditions. But those who were able to rush to Liaodong to participate in the war when people were panicking and the world was in turmoil were all people who were particularly loyal to the Great Sui or were particularly honest.

Yang Guang was still as decisive as the last two expeditions, and made a detailed plan for each army. Now the Sui army has established a solid position on the east bank of the Liao River, and Liaodong City, the fortress that originally blocked the Sui army, has now become a logistics base for advance. In terms of geographical advantages, it can be said that the Sui army has a great advantage.

Therefore, Yang Guang asked the generals Yuming, Zhang Xutuo, and Qu Tutongren to lead 50,000 horses and horses to attack the banks of the Yalu River, preparing to clear Goryeo's stronghold on the Yalu River before the end of spring. Then they prepared to force the Yalu River and strive to break Pyongyang in one fell swoop and end the war.

The task that Yuming accepted was to attack Buyeo City, the largest city in Liaodong in Goryeo today.

"General, at this speed, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Buyeo City within the specified time." Guo Yi wiped the sweat on his face.

"It's been raining for the past few days, and our army has carried a large number of siege equipment, so it can't go fast at all. I think that it is not only our army that has encountered this situation, Zhang Xutuo and Qu Tutong should also be in the same situation as me. The Holy One is not going to remove us all! Yu Ming smiled, this expedition to Goryeo, he knew that the ending would not be much better than the previous two times, so now he was thinking more about how to preserve his strength.

Now the Zuo Ling Guard Army under his command, but the descendant troops brought out by his grandfather are the most elite of the Twelve Guards of the Great Sui Dynasty. In the future, it will be his capital to dominate the world, and if he loses a lot during the expedition to Goryeo, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Half an hour later, when the army had finished resting, and Yu Ming was about to give the order to re-mount, a fast horse galloped from a distance.

When the knight on the horse saw them, he shouted, "General Yu, Your Majesty has an urgent order!" General Yu, Your Majesty has an urgent order! ”

The generals were all shocked, wondering if there was some emergency?

At this time, the comer had already mounted in front of Yuming, and everyone had already recognized that he was the herald beside Yang Guang.

The knight rolled off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Yuming: "Your Majesty's urgent order: Because Goryeo has united the Liaodong tribes to fight against my Great Sui Heavenly Army. The Northern Army led by General Zhang Xutuo was besieged in the south of Heishi City, and the Chinese army suspended the attack on Fuyu City and went to the rescue of General Zhang with General Qu Tutong! ”

"What? Zhang Xutuo is surrounded? Goryeo united the Liaodong tribes? After Yu Ming heard this, he was also shocked.

"Yes! Goryeo suffered heavy losses in the first two wars, and now has less than 50,000 troops in the country, so they gathered the Ji, Khitan, Xi, Tiele, Heishui, Sumo and other Liaodong tribes to form a coalition army of more than 200,000 people. Fighting against our Great Sui together, when the Northern Army led by General Zhang attacked Black Rock City, it was besieged by the coalition forces organized by Goryeo one or two miles south of the city. His Majesty demanded that the Chinese Army and the Southern Army immediately move closer to the Northern Army, strive to flank General Zhang inside and outside, and annihilate the main force of the Goryeo Coalition Army in a battle. The herald said in one breath.

The generals were shocked when they heard it, but they didn't expect the Goryeo dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, and at the critical moment of life and death, they actually invited so many tribes in Liaodong, and they didn't know how much they paid and how many promises they made. But the result was for the Great Sui to face so many enemies at the same time.

Today, the number of Goryeo coalition troops has also reached more than 200,000, which is roughly the same as that of the Sui army. Although their combat effectiveness was not as strong as that of the Sui army, their equipment was also poor, and many of them did not even have a decent set of armor. However, most of them were cavalry, coming and going like the wind, once they were diagonally inserted into the rear of the Sui army, attacking the grain routes and transport teams, once the Sui army ran out of food, it would not occupy its own collapse.

However, judging from the current situation, it is probably due to the large number of coalition forces entangled in Goryeo, which surpassed the Sui army for the first time, which also made them full of confidence, and they dared to take the initiative to rush forward and surround the Sui army outside the city. If this opportunity can be seized and the main force of the Goryeo coalition army can be severely damaged in the field battle, it will be of great benefit to the Sui army to annihilate Goryeo.

After a day and a night of rapid marching, Yu Ming had already led the army to a dense forest one hundred and fifty miles away from Black Rock City. It was only ten miles away from the place where Zhang Xutuo was besieged, and they could even see the puffs of smoke and dust raised by the iron horses of the steppe people......
