Chapter 612: There is no one in the west out of Yangguan

After leaving the city, the eldest grandson Wuji ordered the carriage to stop.

Lifting the curtain, the eldest grandson Wuji looked back at Chang'an City and stared for a long time.

This time, this life, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back.

Unconsciously, the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly became cloudy.

"Why? Can you go? What's in the way? A little bit of quality, okay? ”

"So many people are waiting for you! If you don't go, you can park the carriage on the side of the road! ”

"What a person, really!"

Because the carriage of the eldest grandson Wuji stopped in the middle of the road, a carriage was forced to stop behind him, which immediately attracted a scolding.

In the past, when the eldest grandson Wuji traveled, there were naturally guards to open the way, even if he stopped for a day, no one dared to be verbose.

But now, it's really a fluffy phoenix that's not as good as a chicken!

Of course, he may not realize it, but in fact, he is really blocking the middle of the road, really blocking the passage of other people.

"Let's go!"

"Drive!"

The groom raised his whip and made a crisp sound in mid-air.

The two horses pulling the cart suddenly raised their hooves and moved forward.

This out of Chang'an, all the way to the west, soon came to Weicheng.

Yesterday it rained lightly overnight, and the sky was still overcast and there was no sunlight in sight.

It seems that God knows his sorrow and parting, and is cooperating.

But the air was baptized by a light rain, giving off a fresh smell.

After arriving in Weicheng, the convoy of the eldest grandson Wuji paused again.

Weicheng is in the west of Chang'an, facing the Wei River.

When you go west out of Chang'an, you have to pass through Weicheng.

And to say goodbye to others, they are also in this Weicheng.

Therefore, many well-known farewell poems have been circulated in Weicheng.

The reason why the eldest grandson Wuji stopped was because there were many colleagues who came to see him off.

These people are all contacts that the eldest grandson Wuji has established over the years.

Of course, there are many people who are afraid of something and do not rush over.

And the people who Guo came to see him off were all labeled as the eldest grandson Wuji.

Even if they don't come, they won't be able to get out of it.

So they're panicking, they don't know what's next.

In the past few days, they went to the eldest grandson's mansion to ask to see the eldest grandson Wuji.

And the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone, is gone.

Actually, he didn't dare to see it!

Being able to go to the Anxi Protectorate to live for a long time is already an emperor's grace for the eldest grandson Wuji, who else does he dare to see?

This time, the officials of the eldest grandson Wuji's faction were also ready to bid farewell in Weicheng and listen to his arrangements.

"Eldest grandson...... Uh, this ......"

These officials, after seeing the eldest grandson Wuji, opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to call for a while.

Called an official position? Not anymore!

Called a knighthood?

Already deprived!

Although after his death, the emperor will restore his title to a large extent, but not now!

For a while, they didn't even know what to call the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji himself didn't seem to care, but said with a smile: "You can just call the old man Lao Suo." ”

Lao Suo, that is, the meaning of the old man.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji himself can say that, but no one dares to call him that.

"Eldest grandson...... Take care, sir! ”

"Mr. Eldest Sun, have a good trip!"

"Mr. Changsun, we can't bear you, what can we do if you leave?"

"Mr. Changsun, you can think of a way for us!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, on the official road, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves.

Soon, a group of men rushed over from the official road.

And the person who is the leader is none other than Li Su, the king of Shu.

Seeing the King of Shu and the officials who saw him off, their faces showed fear, and they couldn't help but hurriedly stay away from the eldest grandson Wuji.

Some officials even covered their faces with their sleeves.

In an instant, he was the only one left by the eldest grandson Wuji's side.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help laughing at himself.

Soon, the king of Shu, Li Su, came to the eldest grandson Wuji and jumped off the horse.

Seeing the officials around him to see him off, Li Su couldn't help but smile and said, "Colleagues, are you all here to see you off?" ”

"No, no, don't misunderstand, you just happened to bump into it, just happened to bump into it!"

"Yes, yes, we're not here to see them off, really not!"

"I'm here to fish in the Wei River, so I won't bother you, hehe!"

Li Su couldn't help but shake his head, and then said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Uncle is going to travel far away, Li Su is here to see him off!" ”

This uncle made the eldest grandson Wuji a little stunned.

Although the two are not related by blood, Li Su really wants to call him uncle.

In the past, that's what Li Su called it.

Now, Li Su still calls it that.

It's just that the scenarios are very different.

Left is just a win or a defeat.

"This road is long and long, and the road is long, so my uncle should be careful all the way! When you are leaving, give a poem to your uncle! ”

"Weicheng is light and dusty towards the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored."

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west."

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

"This poem will definitely be famous through the ages!"

"Yes, you and I are fortunate to be associated with this poem, it is really a blessing for three lives!"

"The prince hasn't had a new work come out for several years, but I didn't expect to take out a new work casually, and it will be passed down through the ages!"

This poem, of course, is a good poem.

Even in the vast Tang poems, they can be ranked in the forefront.

However, for these sycophants, Li Su is very disdainful!

"Uncle, take care!"

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Su deeply, didn't say a word, turned around and boarded the carriage.

Soon, the carriage started and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Su twisted his waist and got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and drove to Chang'an.

……

Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu and others are recruiting troops to form a navy.

Of course, now Changsun Chong has also been transferred.

The current eldest grandson Chong is no longer the unscrupulous gentleman he used to be.

Now that his father has gone to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to retire, he has been transferred to the navy, and the end is almost predictable.

Now the eldest grandson is an honest group, and he will do whatever he wants.

And Cheng Chuliang and others directly handed over the shipbuilding work to him.

Isn't your eldest grandson's family rich?

Isn't it about the Long Group behind it?

Well, you can build me honestly.

If it's good, it's easy to say, if it's not good, hum, you'll look good when the time comes.

The current eldest grandson Chong is extremely aggrieved, and he misses the time when he was in Chang'an.

And at this time, Goryeo again violated the border.

Emperor Li Ke immediately summoned Li Su.

"Sixth brother, now Goryeo is still not honest, I am preparing to attack Goryeo, if you are asked to lead the troops, what are your chances of winning?"

Li Su smiled and said: "Brother Huang, on the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly, how can anyone dare to say that a hundred battles are won?" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Ke nodded slightly.

Yes, on the battlefield, there are few Yum generals.

However, Li Ke really wanted to destroy Goryeo.

Because before, my father attacked Goryeo many times, but he never succeeded in destroying Goryeo.

And he has just ascended the throne and his qualifications are still shallow, and the ministers are still a little unconvinced of his emperor.

If we can destroy Goryeo now, we will definitely establish our prestige.

At this time, Li Su said again: "But if it is to attack Goryeo, the younger brother only dares to say that he is ninety percent sure of destroying Goryeo!" ”

Ninety percent?

That's 100% sure!

Li Ke still knows his sixth brother very well, and rarely talks to the fullest.

If he says that he is 90% sure, then he is basically 10% sure.

At that moment, Li Ke was overjoyed and said: "Sixth brother, I will order you to be the commander, lead an army of 200,000, and attack Goryeo!" ”

Li Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are many noble soldiers, and 100,000 troops are enough!" ”

Li Ke couldn't help but say: "Sixth brother, I think it's better to bring more soldiers and horses, so as not to make any mistakes." ”

Li Su laughed and said: "Although the imperial brother can rest assured, 100,000 soldiers and horses have already overestimated Goryeo as much as possible!" ”

"Good! When the sixth brother returns triumphantly, I will personally ask for credit for you! ”

……

This time, Li Su directly ordered Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi and Xi Junmai three generals to lead 50,000 Yizhou troops to report for duty.

At the same time, he also ordered the newly formed navy to send 50,000 men to participate in the war.

The navy has really just been formed, and now it has just gathered 50,000 soldiers.

However, after all, the formation time is very short, and their combat effectiveness in naval battles is really average.

Now it is possible to line up on the ship, and when it comes to naval warfare, I am not proficient.

Well, in fact, even their commanders, Cheng Chuliang and them, are not proficient.

However, the Navy is the most well-equipped.

After this period of training, their combat effectiveness on land is still good.

And for Li Su, only their combat effectiveness on land is enough.

Now, Li Su has informed Cheng Chuliang and them to gather 50,000 navies and be ready to set off at any time.

Five days later, Xue Rengui and the other three led 50,000 soldiers and horses to camp outside Chang'an City.

And Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi and Xi Junmai went to the city to the palace of the king of Shu and came to report to Li Su.

After the three of them saw Li Su, their eyes were red.

Li Su actually knew very well in his heart that not only did they miss themselves, but also after they left, they felt that their future was bleak and they were very aggrieved.

Li Su couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you, what do you look like?" Do you think that this king will not care about you in the future? ”

"Don't worry, some of them will fight in the future, and some of them will be meritorious. When the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold knives and guns! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Xue Rengui immediately said loudly: "Although the prince can rest assured, even if the last general is eighty years old, he will be able to move the strong bow!" Afford to hold a sword! ”

"Good!"

"This time, this king will lead you to destroy Goguryeo!"

As soon as he mentioned fighting, Xue Rengui suddenly came to his senses.

immediately said to Li Su: "Your Highness, after discussing with Fang Yi and General Xi, my subordinates feel that we can actually divide our troops into two ways. ”

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Su couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Oh, I don't know what strategy you have?" Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Xue Ingui immediately said, "We feel that Goryeo often bullied Baekje and Silla, and often sent troops to attack them. ”

"We can unite Baekje and Silla and divide our troops into two routes to flank Goryeo. In this way, Goryeo will definitely perish! ”

Li Su shook his head slightly and said, "However, can you really be sure that Baekje and Silla will join forces with us to attack Goryeo?" ”

Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, you once taught us that the enemy of our enemy is our friend!" Besides, when we attacked Goryeo in the past, Baekje and Silla sent troops, so why don't they join forces with us now? ”

Li Su shook his head and said, "This time and that time!" At that time, Goryeo sat on Liaodong and other places, with a vast territory, with two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses. ”

"At that time, Baekje and Silla, fearing that they would be destroyed by Goryeo, would of course join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Goryeo together."

"But what about now? Goryeo was continuously attacked by our Tang Dynasty and has lost Liaodong and other places. Now the territory has shrunk greatly, and the soldiers have lost three or four. ”

"In this case, if we destroy Goryeo, do you think Baekje and Silla will feel cold?"

After listening to Li Su's words, Xue Rengui couldn't help but suddenly say, "How can it be!" ”

Li Yu laughed and said, "This king guesses that these two countries, Baekje and Silla, not only will not cooperate with us, but will also help Goryeo in turn!" ”

In the original historical trajectory, when the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goryeo, it first destroyed Baekje and Silla.

cut off Goryeo's right arm, and finally attacked from both sides, and destroyed Goryeo.

However, the situation was slightly different then.

At that time, Baekje and Silla, in order to protect themselves, had openly supported Goryeo.

And now, Baekje and Silla, in fact, are the victims.

Xue Rengui couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, did we destroy Baekje and Silla first?" ”

Li Su shook his head slightly and said: "These two countries, for now, are still the subject countries of my Datang, and they pay tribute to my Datang every year. ”

"Before they make a mistake, we attack them, and we only give them a hand."

Xue Rengui said unwillingly: "However, they are not of the same mind as us, and sooner or later they will make a move on us." Can we just wait and wait for them to make a move on us before we can fight back? ”

Li Su laughed and said, "Well! Actually, we can still change our thinking! ”

"We can attack Goryeo first and advance gradually. What will he do when Goryeo can't hold it anymore? ”

"He can only lead the army to flee to Baekje and Silla, and when the time comes, do you think one mountain can accommodate two tigers?"

After listening to Li Su's analysis, Xue Rengui's eyes couldn't help but light up!

"Wonderful! This is a plan to devour the wolf! You can borrow the hand of Goryeo and destroy Silla and Baekje, and then we can clean them up together!" ”

"Your Highness, you are still treacherous enough! A bad stomach! ”

"Huh?"

Li Su couldn't help glaring at Xue Rengui, and then said in a cold voice: "General Xue? Now this king is giving you another chance to reorganize your language! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Xue Rengui suddenly shuddered.

couldn't help but hurriedly change his words: "Your Highness, it's still your cow!" In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, it is really Zhuge reborn, Wolong is reborn! ”

The angry Li Su directly kicked this guy: "Zhuge Liang and Wolong are one person!" After you go back, read more books, it's terrible to be uneducated! ”

In the end, Li Su's strategy was still to divide the soldiers into two ways.

One route was led by Xue Rengui with an army of 50,000 and was responsible for attacking Liaodong City from the front.

On the other hand, Li Su directly led the 50,000 navy and was responsible for attacking the Black Bone City.

The capital of Goryeo, in Pyongyang, Li Su was not in a hurry.

He decided to slowly put pressure on Goryeo to get the king of Goryeo to abandon Pyongyang on his own initiative and then flee to Baekje and Silla.

Then sit back and wait for them to have civil strife.

At this time, the national strength of Goryeo, although it was attacked by the Tang Dynasty repeatedly, was killed by the Tang Dynasty.

But they now have at least 100,000 elite soldiers in the country.

This time, Li Su only brought 100,000 horses over, and in terms of numbers, he really didn't have an advantage.

But Li Su believes that the soldiers are noble and not the many.

100,000 soldiers and horses, in his opinion, is definitely more than enough!

Fifty thousand navy, although the training time is not long.

But their equipment is even better than that of the 50,000 Yizhou army.

Because the navy is the most wasteful of money and the most difficult to train.

The so-called one year of the army, ten years of the air force, and a hundred years of the navy.

After one year of training, the army will be able to have strong combat effectiveness.

And it can take ten years to train a well-trained air force.

And to cultivate a strong navy, I am afraid it will take a hundred years of accumulation.

Of course, at present, Datang does not have a strong naval enemy.

At least not for the time being.

In fact, Li Su's use of the navy was just to use warships to transport personnel there.

……

The 50,000 army led by Xue Rengui used 3,000 steam chariots to transport strategic materials.

Of course, these 3,000 chariots are also sharp weapons.

At the same time, 20,000 cavalry were prepared.

There may be many places on the roads of Goryeo, and there is no way for steam chariots to drive in.

At this time, war horses need to be used.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was indispensable.

And Li Su's side is much simpler, just use a warship to transport the soldiers over.

Of course, what Li Su needs, the kind of big ship that can sail far, is still only in the experiment.

In a short period of time, it will definitely not be able to be manufactured.

The ships used by Li Su now are all ships built by Li Shimin in the past.

Now Li Su is just using it.

These ships, carrying 50,000 sailors, began to march towards the Black Bone City.

And between him and Xue Rengui, they can be contacted by radio at any time.

This radio station is a military radio station specially researched by the Yizhou Research Institute.

In this way, both of them can arrive at the battlefield almost simultaneously.

However, Li Su's speed is a little slow now.

Because every day, Li Su would spare at least two hours to direct the warships to fish.

Of course, they don't have to cast a net, they just use a trawl net.

"Come, come, hang up the trawl, quick! Fast! Head southeast, yes, fast! ”

Soon, with a dozen warships running at full speed, fishing began.

"Fish! Fish! ”

"That's a lot of fish!"

"Oh my God! How many fish can be caught in one net? ”

"I've never seen so many fish at once in my life!"

"When I was fishing in the winter, I saw more fish than this. But now it's in the ocean, and the fish are still alive. ”

In addition to winter fishing, they really couldn't believe that a net could catch tens of thousands of catties of fish.

You know, the fishermen who were on the beach at that time used hooks to catch fish and cast nets.

If you go to sea once and can bring back a few hundred catties of fish, it will be a bumper harvest.

Where is the same as commanded by His Royal Highness, directly tens of thousands of catties of fish?

It's incredible!

The fish in the sea, are they so easy to beat?

But if it's so good, why don't fishermen catch so many fish?

Well, of course, this is because Li Su used an ultrasonic detector to detect the news of the fish, and then went to the net.

That's how you can catch so many fish in one net.

These two or thirty thousand catties of fish were all received on the boat, and they were almost unloaded.

For the next meal, it is natural to eat fish.

This seafood is really fresh, it comes directly from the sea, can it not be fresh?

All the soldiers ate with their mouths full of oil.

With so many fish, it is natural that fishing will not continue anymore.

Now they are eating fish every day, and Li Su estimates that they will have enough to eat in a few days.

So, the next day, Li Su changed his method and stopped hanging the trawl.

Begin to let the soldiers drop tuna, drop squid.

Even look for those small islands to catch sea crabs, sea cucumbers and other seafood to eat, and of course, the indispensable prawns.

In short, every day Li Su will spare about two hours to tinker with seafood.

These soldiers are really refreshed.

It's cool to fight with the King of Shu!

These ships, if they were going all out, they should have arrived in the Black Bone City two days ago.

And now, it's been two days too late.

And it looks like it's going to take another day or two.

Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but be anxious, and couldn't help but find Li Su and asked:

"Your Highness, why don't we go all out? In this way, you can catch them off guard! ”

Hearing Cheng Chuliang's words, Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "That's good, now I know how to use my brain!" But I ask you, even if we can catch them off guard, will we be able to break the city? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid I can't! ”

The terrain in Goguryeo is very complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin sent troops and sent generals, and even went to the battlefield himself, although he won many times, but he has not been able to destroy Goryeo.

Their city is really difficult to break.

The transportation line of Datang is too far away, and the supply of grain and grass is a big problem.

Once it was late autumn and winter was approaching, the troops had to be withdrawn.

Li Su only led an army of 100,000 to come, which was for this purpose.

The more armies you lead, the more food and grass you need.

On the contrary, it is better to go directly with a small number of elite soldiers.

Moreover, these 50,000 sailors really don't have much food to bring.

Because they have trawls on board, they can find time to fish every day.

Recently, I have caught a lot of seafood, and I have been eating seafood for the past few days.

Don't look at these are navy, but because their leader is Cheng Chuliang, what he thinks about every day is how to train the soldiers as soon as possible.

I won't be fine, and I will send people to the sea to fish, so I don't do my job.

Only the King of Shu will have such leisure.

But no matter how leisurely you are, you can't delay your business.

This is exactly the reason why Cheng Chuliang came to find Li Su.
