Now that the decision has been made to send troops, the next thing is to discuss how many troops should be sent to the Liaodong camp to fight, and who should be the commander.

Yu Ming is a person who is born to be idle, and now only he can subdue soldiers from various systems in Liaodong.

Therefore, he naturally decided to personally lead the troops, supplemented by Guo Yi, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin. The rest of the generals were stationed in various cities to train new soldiers, and the officers were stationed in Liaodong City, so as to achieve both war and production.

In terms of troops, because there were still many Goryeo civilians in Liaodong City, as well as a large number of people who had not yet completely returned to the Liaodong camp and rescued prisoners of the former Sui army, 20,000 Zuoling guards with combat effectiveness were left to guard the city with light cavalry to prevent anyone from rebelling when Yuming went out on the expedition.

However, the 10,000 heavy cavalry commanded by Guo Yi, the Xuanfeng army of Wei Chi Jingde, the Tabai army of Cheng Yanjin, and the Shengjie army of Qin Qiong all went to battle, so as to form a military advantage over Silla.

And Yuming also selected 50,000 soldiers who agreed with the Liaodong camp from the 200,000 rescued Sui army prisoners to fight together. This didn't cause them much backlash, after all, these veterans also knew that there was no free lunch in the world, they had eaten for so many days in the camp in Liaodong, and their bodies were basically recuperated, and it was time to pay.

Of course, Yu Ming will not be wronged like this, he immediately called Park Yongzheng, the envoy of the relief who was waiting below, and then acted in a play with the generals.

He pretended that he did not have enough food and military expenses and could not afford to send troops. And there is no contradiction between Silla and Dasui, it is not good to attack others for no reason.

When Park Yongzheng heard this, he was immediately anxious, and even said that Ji was willing to provide all the military rations of the Sui army, as well as the pension expenses of the soldiers who died in the war. If he wins, a large amount of gold, silver and grain will also be paid to the Sui army.

Yu Ming reluctantly agreed at this time, but said that since he wanted to fight jointly with the Ji army, the Ji side would provide relevant military maps and troop arrangements to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops.

Park Yongzheng didn't know what the plan was, and seeing that Yuming finally agreed that he could let him go back and deal with the king, he naturally agreed.

As a result, the two sides signed an agreement to jointly fight against Silla, and Woomyung, as the representative of Yang Guang, and Park Yongjung, as the representative of King Ji, signed their names at the end of the agreement, which can be regarded as a formal alliance to fight.

"General Park, now we are allies, but you can see the agreement very clearly, if our army arrives in Jiji, you can't send food and military expenses as scheduled, then don't blame us for withdrawing our troops!" Yu Ming said sharply.

There were already a lot of beads of sweat the size of soybeans on Park Yongzheng's forehead, and although he could afford to pay for these grains and expenses, he was also a little nerve-wracking. It is estimated that the whole country will have to tighten their belts to survive in the coming year.

He wiped his sweat and said, "Marshal Yu, don't worry." We are very trustworthy, and we will never lose our words when we promise! ”

"Alright! Even if I believe you once, I hope that everyone will cooperate happily in this war and destroy Silla together! Yu Ming said lightly.

Park Yong-jeong resigned himself to the promise, and then took his leave, and he had to inform his king to make preparations in advance, lest the Sui army come and not have enough food, gold and silver, and cause trouble.

After Park Yongzheng left, Yu Mingfang stood up and said confidently: "Let's go down and prepare early!" In the future, the army will be officially sent to Silla! ”

……

In Liaodong City, where thousands of people were empty, almost all the people and soldiers who had not gone out came to the square in the center of the outer city, which was the place where the pledge meeting was held, and it would see off the army of the southern expedition that was about to send troops to Silla. The Liaodong Xingying has only been established for less than half a year, but it has already destroyed the various departments of Goryeo and the Liaodong grassland, which can be said to be increasingly prestigious. And this is not only the first official expedition after the establishment of the Liaodong camp, but also an exciting battle!

120,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force were lined up neatly. In the front row were several senior generals of the expeditionary force. Guo Yi, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Qiong and others all stood solemnly.

Not long after, Yu Ming, the marshal of the Liaodong camp and the general of Zuo Lingwei, carried a shining horse lance and appeared in the center of the point under the guard of the soldiers.

At this time, the scene immediately fell silent, waiting for the marshal to give the order for the expedition.

Today, Yuming is wearing the silver-white armor given by King Ji, and there is a silver-white cloak behind him, which makes the Sui soldiers in the audience seem to see the white-robed young general who fought in and out of the Goryeo coalition army and defeated Gao Jianwu.

Yu Ming is already tall and handsome, and at this time, against the backdrop of white helmets and white armor, he looks even more majestic.

"Brothers!" Yu Ming looked at the Sui soldiers in the audience, and said with a solemn face: "This Eastern Expedition is the first foreign expedition since the establishment of my Liaodong camp. More than two years ago, our Han people were repeatedly bullied by foreign races, not only by the Xiongnu, Turkic, Rouran, Xianbei and other steppe Tatars, but even the small states of Silla in the east did not submit to the control of our Central Plains Dynasty, and mobilized troops to attack our allies and countries......"

"Therefore, we must bring the might of my Great Sui to the outside of the Saiwai, and let those small states of Dongyi know that my Han people cannot be bullied, and if they do not listen to the advice of my Liaodong camp, they will only be greeted by destruction! In this expedition, they must be beaten, scared, and convinced! ”

Yu Ming said in a somewhat excited tone at this time: "Ben Shuai doesn't know how many of the soldiers in our camp will be buried in a foreign country in this expedition, and maybe the sacrificed warriors may not even be able to bring their corpses back to their homeland." But your heroic spirit of sacrificing your lives for the country and regaining the strength of the Han people will last forever! I have ordered the construction of a great Han martyrs' shrine, and enshrine in it the names of all the heroes who fought for the Han people to resist foreign invasions and open up territory for the Han people! This is the glory of the warriors, and it is also the glory of our Han nation! All the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, your descendants will remember the glory of your ancestors and the pride you brought to the Han people. ”

"The marshal is mighty! Destroy the barbarians! The senior generals standing in the first row all waved their weapons and shouted loudly.

At this time, Yuming waved his hand and said: "Now I declare: the target of our army's attack this time is - Silla!" Go forward, men of the camp! Use your weapons and blood to let those aliens who bullied us know that the Great Sui cannot be disgraced! Han people can't be bullied! This time he couldn't pacify Silla, and Yuming vowed not to return to Liaodong City! ”

"Promote my great Sui prestige! Our army will win! The 120,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the heavens and the earth.

"Our army will win!" The people watching around were also infected by this enthusiastic atmosphere and cheered together.

Immediately after the death meeting, all the soldiers marched eastward to Pyongyang City, and from there entered the battlefield of the battle between Silla and Je.

About ten days later, 120,000 troops marched into Pyongyang, which was only fifty or sixty miles from the border between Silla and Ji, and the army could join the war at any time. But at this time, Woo Myung ordered the army to stop advancing and let them rest in Pyongyang.

His purpose is also very simple, let Ji and Silla bleed enough first.

This rest is half a month, which makes the people who were looking forward to it anxious.

On this day, when Yuming was practicing martial arts at his residence, King Ji sent that old acquaintance Pu Yongzheng to urge, saying that if the Sui army did not send troops again, Ji would fall.

When he was in Liaodong City before, Yuming promised Park Yongzheng, saying that he would send troops to rescue him immediately, as long as he prepared food, grass and military supplies.

And after Park Yongzheng went back to report, after Jekook learned the news that the Sui army was coming to help, the whole country was also excited. They attacked again and again, killing and wounding many Silla soldiers, and the war situation suddenly improved.

However, as time passed, the Silla army, under the leadership of King Kim Baek-jeong of Silla, withstood the counterattack of the Je army, and then continued to launch an offensive and once again gained the upper hand.

At this time, the Ji army could no longer resist, and the battle was defeated again and again, and the Silla army broke several cities in a row, and it seemed that it was about to enter the Jidu Si Xuan.

King Ji helped Yu Zhang, so he had to order Park Yongzheng to ask Yu Ming for help, hoping to send troops to help as soon as possible.

After meeting with Park Yongzheng and receiving 800,000 stone of grain and a box of gold and silver brought by him, Yu Ming and Wei Chi Jingde finally agreed to send troops immediately.

He immediately convened a front-line meeting to discuss how to help the economy.

……

In the hall of the city lord's mansion in Pyongyang, Guo Yi, Cheng Yanjin, and Qin Qiong all sat around the round table with Zhang Fuhao's map, listening to Wei Chi Jingde's introduction.

Wei Chi Jingde said with a straight face at this time: "Brothers, the Silla army attacking Ji at the moment is mainly divided into two. The left army, led by the veteran general Yoo Wonjong of Silla, had already attacked the city of Sihyun, the capital of Jedu, while the right army, led by King Kim Baek-jeong of Silla, attacked the Gwangju area behind Jiju along the coast, preparing to flank the city on both sides. In addition, Silla's sailors also defeated the Jishui division and were attacking the southern coast of Jinan. It can be said that Jekook's army is on the verge of collapse. ”

He said, pointing to the battle map laid out on the table.

"Jingde, judging from the current situation, how long can Jeguo hold out?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Shubao, if we don't send reinforcements, they can hold out for a month at most, and if it's too late, they will definitely collapse!" Wei Chi Jingde said.

"Hmmm! If we send troops to Jidu Sihyun now, how many days will it take? Guo Yi asked Wei Chi Jingde again.

Wei Chi Jingde made a silent calculation in his heart at this time, and then replied: "If you only march with cavalry, it will take you two days to get from Pyongyang to Sihyun. But if you still have to bring infantry, it will take more than five days. ”

"Good! I'll just talk about the plan I envisioned, and see if you think it's feasible? Yu Ming said calmly. He had also deduced this plan with Hu Sizheng and Du Ruhui before.
