On this day, the dark clouds were low, the spring thunder was gusting, and it was drizzling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wilderness is full of rich blue, the grass has emerged, and the branches of the trees have sprouted, and it is full of spring.

Luo Zhaoyun led the troops to the battle, with a total of 200,000 troops from five routes, fully armed, more than 100,000 heavy soldiers and servants, escorting grain, grass and equipment.

The army was mighty, starting from Beiping County and entering the land of western Liaoning, where there were many fishing and hunting tribes and county seats, which were easily conquered and occupied by the army, and the remaining Goguryeo army was very few, unable to resist, and all withdrew.

Because Luo Zhaoyun sent a large number of scouts and intelligence personnel to mix in in advance, he had already been thoroughly understood by the situation in western and eastern Liaoning, so he swept through this area without much effort, advanced for hundreds of miles, occupied all the passes, and set up stable post stations and transmission stations along the way to keep the flow of intelligence and grain and grass.

A young girl, dressed in a plain white and graceful gauze skirt and long dress, holding a sword in her hand, dignified and beautiful, quiet and gentle, with a white hosta on her head to fix her hair like a cloud, slender and slender figure, Ying Ying held the waist, slender and jade, beautiful.

She stood on a mountain, looking at the distance below, passing by the Great Sui soldiers, the flag fluttering, Luo characters flying, obviously, this is the army of Luo Zhaoyun as the commander.

"The second time you invaded Liaodong, you finally became the vanguard commander, standing on the cusp, Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, this time you are in big trouble, I don't know if you can turn evil into good fortune, too many forces are staring at Liaodong, I don't want the Sui court to win, I want the Great Sui to collapse, do you have the ability to save the waves? Even if I could, I'm afraid there are many people who don't want to see it, this time for you, I withdrew from Gao's decision-making, and I don't want to participate in all the conspiracies and deployments against you, let alone be your enemy! ”

The girl muttered to herself, expressing her affection, it was Gao Yufei, who parted last year, and some of the Gao family's forces were hidden in Liaoxi, and she also came here.

………

After a few days of marching, they arrived at the south bank of Liaoshui.

Last autumn, nearly 100,000 people from both sides died here, and the blood stained the Liao River, leaving the lower reaches of the river like a mountain of corpses, and the corpses were soaked and rotted for a long time, causing a plague to spread in the downstream areas.

Luo Zhaoyun was not in a hurry to cross the river to fight, so he set up camp on the south bank and confronted the fortress on the other side of the Liaoshui.

In his tent, he summoned the generals of various armies to discuss the plan of crossing the river.

He is not Emperor Yang of Sui, he will never go his own way and be stubborn, but consult with the generals, and he will not hesitate to use any cost and means, scheming, deceit and other strategies, and he is also thinking.

The leaders of the Fifth Route Army, namely Xue Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Wei Wensheng, Mai Tiezhu, and Dou Yan, expressed their opinions.

"Young marshal, Xue thinks that when he learns the lesson of the defeat in the last river crossing operation, he should not only use warships to force the crossing, but also build several pontoon bridges, and use battleships to approach, and the archers suppress the attack of the Goguryeo army on the river beach, and at the same time, send people to sneak attack from both sides."

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "General Xue is worthy of being an experienced general, what he said is very reasonable, we attack, the terrain is definitely unfavorable to our Great Sui, when using all means, such as sneak attacks at night, quietly landing, even if it can't be successful, but it must make the Goguryeo army restless, therefore, this commander has set up a death army from before the expedition, and will send a thousand people every night to smuggle across Liaoshui, land from the high mountains on both sides of the river, and attack those sentry posts. ”

"In addition, Ben Shuai has sent surprise troops, landed from the upstream and downstream respectively, detoured three hundred miles more, rode quickly, and within two days, he could reach the rear of the castle and carry out a surprise attack."

After hearing this, these generals nodded again and again, feeling that this young marshal seemed to be cunning, but it was more suitable for actual combat, surprise, and reduce casualties.

Mai Tiecane said: "I am willing to take the lead and storm the defense line of the earthen fort on the Liaoshui River Beach, last time, too many soldiers died, this time, I must avenge those dead brothers." ”

Luo Zhaoyun could understand his mood, nodded and agreed, this wheat iron staff is a tiger general, although the overall planning of troops will be relatively weak, he is not very proficient in the art of war, but he is brave and extraordinary, has a fierce energy, and sees death as home, which is very suitable for vanguard combat.

After discussing many details, it was decided to start the attack across the river two days later.

At dusk, a young man came from outside the barracks, seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, wearing a Confucian shirt, clear eyebrows, hanging a sword, leading a mount, standing outside the gate, announcing his name, and asking to see Major Marshal Luo Cheng.

After the guards learned of this person's surname, family and name, they did not delay and immediately entered the camp to report that it was the eldest grandson Wuji who had come to join the army.

When Luo Zhaoyun learned the news, he asked a personal guard to go out to greet him and invite the eldest grandson Wuji to enter.

"Young Marshal Luo, Wuji is here to defect!" The eldest grandson Wuji walked into the big tent with a smile, and he had a very cordial feeling towards Luo Zhaoyun, just like his own brother, much closer than those eldest grandson brothers who were related by blood.

Luo Zhaoyun frowned and said, "It's not good to stay in the capital on an errand, why did you come to the front line?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly excited: "The Liaodong War has attracted the attention of all parts of the world, and it has moved the whole body, so fierce and bloody, how can I miss it?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun sighed: "Here, it's too dangerous and cruel. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Young Marshal Luo, I just came here to see the world, and I don't want to charge into battle, as long as I follow the young marshal's side, do a good job, and keep a record, I can't do it as a military advisor, keep an account, it's still okay!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun shook his head helplessly, everyone is here, and it is useless to persuade him, let's stay by my side for the time being, teach him more, and maybe become his right-hand man and a good minister in the future. (To be continued.) )
