Chapter 60 Formulation of a Master Plan for Counterinsurgency
In the third year of Longshuo (663 AD), the fifteenth day of the sixth month of summer, there were not two quarters.
As Baekje enters summer, the weather begins to warm up, and people's hearts begin to stir. The two sides are tense, a confrontation has formed, and the situation has become tense. After half a year of combing, the Tang army regained its fighting spirit, and its ordnance, food, and grass were fully prepared and ready to fight at any time.
On the Silla side, Kim Famin personally led the army, 35,000 Silla troops, and assembled on a predetermined route. The espionage battle commanded by Shi Yuan Gongyu, the marching commander, was also very effective. By the end of May, more than 1,000 people had been arrested in the entire city.
In an extraordinary period, he was too lazy to screen in detail, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go, and all of them were sentenced to death. From the beginning of the first month, Wu Kang's main homework is to raid the ghost room Fuxin. Send an envoy to contact him, explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, and comfort him to surrender.
As the saying goes, two armies are at war, and they don't come to make it. But this old guy doesn't play cards according to the routine, and kills the messenger to Mingzhi. Tell everyone that Zuoping Fuyu Fuxin fought with the Tang Army to the end. Wu Kanghun didn't care, and continued to send messengers, anyway, these cannon fodder are all remnants of Baekje, please slaughter them casually.
My fundamental purpose is not to make you surrender, but to make you suspicious. So tirelessly, rapid progress within half a year, Fuyufeng is very cooperative. He was afraid of the dictatorship of Fuxin, so he united with his cronies and set up a Hongmen banquet.
During the period, I found an excuse to reduce Fuxin's official position from Zuoping to the arrival rate, and the first product became the second grade. Feeling threatened, Fushin convened his subordinates and decided to strike first. Obeyed the advice of the staff, pretended to be sick in bed, and lured Yu Feng to visit.
Ambush cronies outside the house, and when I drop the medicine bowl, you rush in and hack Fu Yufeng to death with a knife. Unfortunately, he was unlucky, and his whole plan was presented to the puppet king's desk three days later. And the one who leaked the secret was Fuxin's favorite concubine.
She prefers strong men to old guys, and she can be satisfied. She and the puppet king Fu Yufeng have long hooked up and become adulterous, staying by Fuxin's side, just to spy on her. The puppet king received the information, summoned his cronies to confer, and plotted to get rid of the deputy letters.
On June 15, Fuyufeng preemptively struck with black teeth, pretending to visit Fuxin. The medicine bowl was successfully shattered, and the ambush soldiers rushed in, but unfortunately the black teeth were too strong. With a height of two meters and one meter, it is like a towering hill, guarding the door.
One husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, and successfully block the ambush. Reinforcements soon arrived, and the fierce general Sha Zha Xiangru calmly commanded the battle, broke up Fuxin's guards, and took control of Da Shu Mansion. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Fuxin was arrested and obediently became a prisoner.
The backbone of the dignified rebel army is planted in the hands of women, which makes people laugh. According to the script, Fuyu Feng will be tried immediately. Announce the ten major crimes and hand them over to the ministers to discuss how to deal with them. Zuoping Shazha is similar, the county general is often black-toothed, and Da Shude is deising, etc., saying that Fuxin is a rebel minister and should be killed immediately.
Fu Xin knew that he would die, so he simply passed his mouth, so he scolded loudly: rotten dog and idiot slave, grace will take revenge, cross the river and tear down the bridge. Without my support, how can you sit on the throne of Baekje? If there is a spirit in the temple, your death is not far away.
was scarred by Fuxin, and Fuyu Feng flew into a rage and ordered to be killed immediately. When he cut off his head, he was so angry that he went mad and put his head to death. The so-called punishment is chopping into meat sauce, making dumplings and steaming buns, the most cruel punishment.
When Wu Kang got the news, he laughed wildly, and the rebels were no longer at ease. The more ruthless your methods are, the more fierce and inward-looking, and the more your courtiers and subordinates are in danger. As long as the war situation is unfavorable, they will abandon you, and you will surely rebel against your relatives.
Looking at Fuxin's failure, Wu Kang came to the conclusion that if you don't have the physical capital, don't look for a lady in the flower season. can't satisfy them, cuckolds are a trivial matter, and losing a small life is a big thing. Throughout ancient and modern history, there seem to be a few celebrities who have been tortured.
The first is Bo Yi Kao, the eldest son of King Wen Ji Changyan, and Ji Fa's half-brother. He was punished by Shang and made into meat soup and given to King Wen to eat. The second is Zilu, a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Confucius and one of the ten philosophers of Confucius. The third is Peng Yue, the ancestor of guerrilla warfare, who was chopped into minced meat by Liu Bang.
Wu Kang was happy, convened the backbone of Xiongjin, and held a military meeting. planned to take the opportunity to send troops, but was advised by Gongyu to wait another month. The puppet king killed Fuxin, and he will continue to clean up, if he sends troops at this moment, he will send Fuxin to the battlefield to die.
If you wait for a while, Fuxin's cronies will be purged one by one. If you can kill people with a knife, why force your attack and cause unnecessary losses. When they kill each other, and when the Silla army joins, it is not too late to attack.
Wu Kangjue's reasonableness was also approved by everyone, so he did not move. At the same time, additional secret agents were sent to secretly infiltrate Zhou Liucheng to listen to all kinds of information. As expected, Fuyu Feng was purged with an iron fist, and Fuxin's cronies and generals were either sentenced to death or secretly disappeared.
Even his army was broken up and reorganized, and its strength was greatly reduced. Soon in mid-July, the Silla army arrived, and the Tang-Luo coalition army was established. All the military backbones convened a meeting again to discuss the attack of the whole army and determine the strategy of marching.
The big tent of the Chinese army in Xiongjin Road, the map is hung in the north, and there is a sand table in the center. With Si Xian City as the center, it radiates a radius of 200 miles, and all the mountains and rivers are included in it. It was filled with small tricolor flags, red for the Tang army, blue for Silla, and white for the rebels.
On Jeju Island in the southwest, a small black flag is planted to represent the Japanese navy. The regent of the Wa Kingdom, the eldest brother of the prince, has a funny brain. 40,000 sailors and more than 900 warships were dispatched to aid Baekje's recovery, and they were stationed on Jeju Island at the moment.
Everyone didn't care, and the poor Great Wa Kingdom was gorgeously ignored. The benevolent master pointed to the city of Garin and put forward his opinion: "This is a land and water fortress, a granary for the rebels, and a back garden for the puppet king. As long as you take this city, you can cut off its back road. The scene soon fell silent, everyone was pondering, and Liu Renyuan also suggested: "If you can take Garin City, you can close the door and fight the dogs, lose the rear supplies, and the rebels will collapse without a fight." At that time, the north and south will be surrounded and all the rebels will be blocked between the two cities. β
Jin Famin coughed dryly, looked at Wu Kang and said, "The Heavenly Army is attacking from the north and south, and we, the Silla Guards, are advancing from east to west. Surrounded on three sides, the west is the sea, and the rebels have no way to retreat. Under the gradual encroachment, the Baekje restoration movement can be completely destroyed. β
The generals whispered that this route of march was supported by the majority. Wu Kang is noncommittal, you have a great appetite and full ideals, but the reality is difficult. During the truce between the two sides, more than seven layers of scouts were scouting Garin.
It was built on high ground, surrounded by complex terrain, with tall and strong walls and extremely well guarded walls. The scouts investigated for half a year, but they couldn't find the flaws in Garin City. Wu Kang sighed lightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and he frowned when he saw Ren Liang, so Wen Yan asked, "What is Liu Tingshi's opinion, you might as well say it and discuss it." β
Liu Renliang, who took Fangzhou's assassin history, was still temporarily inspected, and was Liu Renyuan's subordinate. Looking at the entire military tent, his status was the lowest in the Tang army, only higher than that of the Silla. So his right to speak is not so important, and he rarely speaks.
Since he was named, he also took it seriously: "The subordinates secretly thought that Garin City was dangerous and not the best choice. If the attack is urgent, the soldiers will be greatly injured, and if the attack is slow, it will be protracted. Our army does not have much supplies, and the Japanese army is eyeing each other, so in order to prevent a long night and a long dream, it is recommended to focus on attacking Zhouliu. β
Ren Rail pointed to the sand table and said chisely: "This is the nest of the rebels, including the puppet king of Baekje, most of the rebel leaders, all gathered here. To eliminate the evil and capture the thief and capture the king, it is advisable to attack it first. If Ke stays, the rest of the cities will not be talked about anymore. β
The hero saw the same thing, Wu Kang nodded in approval, Liu Renliang is talented, and the thief will capture the king first. The last time Baekje was destroyed, Su Dingfang listened to my suggestion, blitzkrieg and heart gouging techniques, and directly took the capital of Baekje. Take the political center, and the entire Baekje Kingdom will be declared to be destroyed immediately.
Gong Yu glanced at Ren Liang, his eyes flashed with approval, and he twisted his long hair and said: "It is reasonable to say that Zhou Liucheng's defense is obviously weaker than that of Garin. In the south of the city, there is a circumferential stream of water, which flows into the Baijiang River, and can be advanced by land and water. As the saying goes, a snake can't be headless, as long as you take down Zhou Liu, you can take Garin. β
Lao Yuan swore an oath, Wu Kang smiled dumbly, and soon in less than half a moment, everyone knew it. If Zhouliu is broken, implement the tactics of driving sheep, and drive Fuyufeng and others to the direction of Garin City. The guard general of Garin City is the county general Chi Shouxin, and he is the descendant of Fuyufeng.
It's interesting to think about, Fuyu Feng fled to the city, how should he deal with it? If you don't accept the city, you will be sprayed to death by the Baekje people, and you won't welcome the king, do you want to rebel? If the door is opened, Wu Kang will be in the arms, and the Tang army will follow into the city, and the city will be disintegrated inside.
The discussion became louder and louder, and even the Silla side nodded their heads in favor of attacking Zhouliu. Right Wuwei Wei Farewell General, Du Shuang said carefully: "If the puppet king does not go to Garin City after the city is broken, and goes directly to Goguryeo, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture." β
The voice stopped abruptly, and this was a problem, and the group pondered again. Wu Kang glanced around, and said with a pleasant face: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, the world is impermanent, don't waste food because of choking." The strategic purpose of this time is to quell the Baekje rebellion, not to arrest the puppet king, but to distinguish priorities. β
The general manager set the tone, and the ministry will no longer hesitate and speak enthusiastically. Half an hour later, Wu Kang cleared his mind and motioned for the generals to be quiet. After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "Since you have no opinion, the goal of this march is set in Zhou Liucheng." Please return to your seats and let me assign the task. β
The generals did as they were told, Wu Kang returned to the main position, pulled out the small banner of the arrow, and began to give orders: "The left Xiaowei Zhonglang General Shiyuan, the right Wuwei Du Bei General, count 20,000 guards, as the main force." Along the official road of Si Xian City, attack from south to north, and the soldiers will stay under the city of Zhou. β
The two got up as promised, Liu Ren was willing to take the order, and Wu Kang continued to pass the order: "Take Fangzhou to assassinate Shi Zheng, march commander Shi Gongyu, count 5,000 guards, and garrison southwest of Garin." Intercepting the Garin reinforcements and allowing the Zhouliu rout army can be done cheaply and support the main force in a timely manner. β
Gongyu accepted the order as promised, Wu Kang took the order flag again, came to Fa Min, and said softly: "How Silla marches, the king has full authority to deal with it, and the southern and western route armies are in need of support." Here in Wukang, there is still a reluctant request, imploring the king to agree. β
Fa Min smiled genuinely, got up to take the arrow, patted his chest and promised: "We, the Silla army, accept the domination of Tiantang." I will personally lead the guards to support General Shiyuan, and my uncle will support the Western Front. What are the requirements, don't beat around the bush, just say it clearly. β
Wu Kang smiled and said, "I, with General Renshi, will lead the Xiongjin fleet and march west along the Baijiang River. Re-enter the Zhou Liushui and support the army along the river. However, I have a hunch that the Japanese naval army will intercept it, and there may be an encounter on the Baijiang River. β
Speaking of this, it is straightforward: "The enemy has 900 warships and more than 40,000 naval troops, and I have 17 warships and more than 7,000 guards, and the disparity in strength is too great." I selected 3,000 guards from the Tang Army, and there are still 3,000 places left, so I implore the king for support. β
Regardless of the number of warships or the number of sailors, the Tang army was at a disadvantage. Famin fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he worried: "In March of this year, the Japanese army landed in Silla, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Baekje people. I have 7,000 sailors, all of them elite guards, why don't they all board the ship? β
Wu Kang shook his head and declined politely: "My Xiongjin fleet, with military rations and baggage, can accommodate up to three thousand." According to the scout's report, although there were many warships of the Japanese army, they were all small fishing boats. Although there are many soldiers on board, they are all a rabble, and I think I can handle it. β
Fa Min said no more, turned around and instructed Tiancun: "Immediately select carefully, find the most elite sailors, follow the general on the ship, and fully assist in the fight against the Japanese." General Jin must keep in mind that General Wu's orders, which are the orders of this king, must be obeyed unconditionally. β
Jin Tiancun made a loud promise, saluted the two of them separately, and left the barracks to carry out. Wu Kang was in a good mood, and the 13,000 sailors had reached saturation, so he thanked him: "The Silla sailors are brave, and we will cooperate sincerely, and we will be able to win." β
Fa Min smiled and began to blow to each other, and he was confident enough to win this battle. The two ended their conversation, Wu Kang returned to the main seat, and the crowd would continue to discuss. According to the specific terrain and combined with the forces of both sides, we should improve the battle plan and strive for perfection.
Wu Kang listened on the surface, and his soul had already flown away and flew to Jeju Island. In order to restore the country, Baekje promised countless heavy profits and won over the Japanese kingdom to the water. The Japanese had a mainland dream and wanted to get involved in the peninsula for a long time, so the two sides hit it off and formed a military alliance.
The Tang Dynasty wanted to die in Baekje and use it as a springboard for the southern line to attack Goguryeo. Silla wanted to destroy Baekje, occupy the land population, and end the Three Kingdoms period. The two major military alliances have their own interests, and the first collision between China and Japan seems inevitable.
Looking at the enemy's and our military strength, the warships are 900 to 17, and the strength is 40,000 to 10,000, occupying an absolute disadvantage. The battlefield is backed by Baekje, which is half a home advantage for the Wa Kingdom. I hope that the generals of the Japanese Kingdom will be obsessed with superficial data and carried away by data.
Wu Kang stared at the map, ignoring the general's discussion, and gradually fell into deep thought. It is believed that the location of the decisive battle cannot be placed in the Yellow Sea, but only in the White River. The speed of manpower rowing, regardless of the speed of going with the current, is related to the weight of the hull and the weight of the human body.
The Don fleet was a large ship, loaded with more guards, like heavy cavalry. The Japanese ships were all small boats, carrying fewer guards, similar to light cavalry. The combat effectiveness may not be good, the mobility is absolutely strong, and if you can't win the battle, you will run away, and the Tang ships will not be able to catch up.
To make the enemy ship lose its mobility, it is necessary to make a fuss about the field, and the narrow channel of the Baijiang River is the best battlefield. In a jammed posture, the Don ships were tall and sturdy, like a fortress on the sea. The enemy ships have weak defenses and can only be beaten passively. The numerical superiority of the enemy's ships will not only be wiped out, but will also be reduced to a burden.
It is the best policy to take one's own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings. Wu Kang stared at the map, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly locked the location, the estuary of the Jinjiang River, now called the mouth of the Baijiang River. The entrance is relatively narrow, and the further you go, the wider it becomes, and it is a natural pocket.
Suddenly thinking of something, the smile began to be obscene, and I felt that I reached out to cover my mouth, afraid of laughing out of the sound of a pig. Sun Renshi leaned over, lowered his voice and said: "The obscenity of the smile must be thinking of a woman, the old man admires you very much, and he is the fifth girl at night." The old man coped with one, tired and panting like a cow, and passed on some experience. β
Wu Kang couldn't help but smile, rolled his eyes and whispered: "How can you have fart experience, this is by talent, you can't envy it." Exercise a lot, be as strong as I am, and have a lot of royal two. Get out of the way, I'm thinking about tactics, don't bother again. β
Obviously unconvinced, the benevolent teacher snorted a few times and left, leaning over to the sand table and continuing to discuss tactics. Wu Kang stared at the map and continued to meditate, how to show the enemy weakness, how to lure the enemy deeper? What bait can be used to let the commander of the Wa State sail the fleet into the White River.
At some point, I had an idea. The Japanese army came from afar, and the supplies were definitely insufficient, and the military rations were considered bait. When the time comes, take all the grain ships with you and lure them into the bait. After thinking about it again, I felt that it was not enough, and the bait was not fat enough.
I didn't have a clue for a while, so I had no choice but to put away the map and look up at the center. All the backbone of Xiongjin discussed around the sand table, moved the flag from time to time, and deduced the changes in the battle situation. Only the general of Renshi turned his head and threw flattering eyes, his expression was quite unbeaten.
Wu Kang sneered, his eyes widened suddenly, and his smile was obscene again. A beautiful little lady who can seduce primitive desires; The majestic building ship can arouse the desire of the navy; The commander of the enemy fleet, can arouse the desire of the commander.
In the middle of his thoughts, he had a preliminary plan, quickly weaved a blueprint, and thought of the best bait. Make up your mind, applaud gently, and the crowd will stop discussing. Wu Kang got up slowly and said quite seriously: "Fellow marching generals, give you five days, can you finish the preparation?" β
Time is definitely enough, everyone nodded one after another, and Wu Kang continued to explain: "Since there is no objection, then five days later, the army will start on time." In addition, it is necessary to sort out the march report within three days and hand it over to the Chinese army for safekeeping. Please also take your seats, Junko will prepare the wine, and I will say a few words in conclusion. β
Qian Shun ran out of the tent, quickly moved the wine jar, and poured the wine bowl in turn. Everyone raised the bowl to invite each other, Wu Kang stood up with the bowl, and said with a pleasant face: "You are older than me, and you are all brothers and uncles. Wu Kang hereby implores, we work together, here to do the first respect. β
After speaking, he raised his head and drank, drank it all in one go, and the mouth of the bowl was displayed downward. Everyone did not hesitate, and they all drank the wine, Gong Yu laughed and said: "How old are we now, you are the commander, and we, as the deputy general, naturally obey our words." β
Good-natured laughter rang out, including the Silla generals, who also expressed their support. Motioning for them to take their seats, Wu Kang continued: "You have expressed my position like this, and my confidence is even stronger. At this moment, when it is time for dinner, I announce that the meeting is adjourned, so let's go back and prepare. β
After greeting each other for a while, everyone left, and the benevolent master came over again: "Your laughter is not normal, there must be bad ideas, and I have a hunch that it is about the Wa Kingdom." We're in the same boat, so I have the right to know the sailor's battle plan. β
Wu Kang didn't bother to pay attention to him, nodded his nose, and strode away, leaving the teacher messy...
