"Yes, your task is to attract the attention of Goryeo, and I will set out from Pengrai, take Shacheng as a stronghold quickly with a large army, and march all the way along the coastline to Pyongyang, and give him a divine weapon to take him by surprise."

Cai Cong's finger drew a half circle along the map along Stone City, Daxing City, and stayed on Pyongyang City.

Meng Baolai's breathing was short, and he had no intention of calculating or not, so if he fought like this, the chance of winning was very high!

"Master Hou, such a difficult task as attacking Xuansu, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it, so it's better to let Fang Yuan lead the troops to fight! I'll go to sea with you, protecting you along the way. When I fought Pyongyang, I must have taken the lead. ”

Meng Baolai said seriously, I don't know if I thought he was really dedicated to the public.

"Meng Baolai, your uncle." Fang Yuanke was on the side, and when he heard this, he kicked Meng Baolai down with a flying kick, and rode on him and beat him hard.

As soon as Cai Cong's plan came out, who didn't know that Xuan Su was just joking, and Pyongyang was the big one! Pyongyang is the first choice for meritorious service!

"It's against you, you still dare to beat the official, quickly give up your position, otherwise I will treat you with military law."

Meng Baolai overturned Fang Yuan, and said viciously, Cai Cong didn't stop them, and went with them to fight.

"Brother Xian, you only have 20,000 horses, and you are fighting in three places, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, right?" Changsun Chong asked worriedly, this was the battle with the longest line and the shortest number of troops that Changsun Chong had ever seen. A mere 20,000 men fought across a quarter of the territory of Goryeo, and it was impossible to support each other.

And he also hopes to take this opportunity to be transferred back to Chang'an, if Cai Cong is defeated, then he will have to wait at least a few years to marry Li Lizhen before he can go back.

And then go back, there will be no place for him in the court at all, and when the time comes, he can only embroider thrushes with the princess in the princess's mansion every day, which is not the life he wants.

"Where did you come from to fight in three places? Xuansu, I only sent a thousand people, and the rest was up to you to recruit righteous soldiers near Youzhou, and you cooperated with Meng Bao to defeat Xuansu and attract the main force of Goryeo, can this be done? ”

Cai Cong said unhurriedly, the eldest grandson Chong was overjoyed, if this is the case, there is no problem for him to get a share of the credit, even if he can't go back to Chang'an at that time, at least he can be transferred out of this ghost place.

So when he heard Cai Cong's words, he had already made up his mind, even if he couldn't recruit righteous soldiers, he had to find a way to hire some outlaws to sell his life.

Meng Baolai heard Cai Cong's words and wailed. kicked Fang Yuan away, he won the battle, he still had to stay and fight Xuansu, his heart was broken at this moment.

had to turn grief and anger into food, sit back in his place and stumble with the mutton, and finally swept more than half of the fish, which is the end.

"Full?"

Cai Cong asked lightly, one who was beaten couldn't eat, one who was happy couldn't eat, and two who ate and supported, all nodded in unison.

"When you are full, the three of you will go to help Changsun Chong recruit righteous soldiers, Youzhou is vast and has few people, and there are probably not many people to summon, you are like the nearby county town to help recruit."

Cai Cong looked at the messy table with cups and plates, and said calmly, and several people got up to leave.

After walking two steps, Changsun Chong said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Cong'er, you haven't eaten anything, I'll ask people to take down the things and serve you a new table!" ”

"That's no need, just let them cook some more soup base, I just forgot to tell you, I let people kill a cow and eat the whole beef hot pot for a while, you are so busy, I can only eat it alone."

Cai Cong snickered, Meng Baolai and Xu Jie hiccuped, with a look of chagrin, who still eats fish if there is beef?

During the war, everything became efficient, Cai Cong sent people to the nearby county town to say that he wanted to recruit righteous soldiers, and those county officials immediately sent people to post notices, promising benefits, and sent officials to shout under the notices.

In their opinion, there is no chance of winning this war at all, Cai Cong is lost, at this time, they will cooperate no matter what Cai Cong asks, so as not to be pushed out by Cai Cong as a substitute for the dead ghost.

In half a month, Sun Chong has recruited 2,000 people, which is mainly because the blood of most people in the Zhenguan period is hot, throwing their heads and spilling blood, and making contributions is a good way out in the hearts of many people, not to mention that the government has given so many benefits, and there are naturally many people who have signed up.

In the middle of the night, there are 23 hideous big boats parked by the Liao River, more than 80 meters long and nearly 40 meters high, and the bow and stern are wrapped with ghost faces protruding from iron, which makes people feel afraid when they look at it.

This big ship was built according to Cai Cong's design drawings, and it was more than twenty meters longer and more than ten meters higher than Yang Su's five-tooth battleship of the Sui Dynasty, and it looked like an ancient monster lying on the river.

One ship can fit more than 1,000 people, and there is no problem with so many ships carrying 19,000 people.

Meng Baolai's hands trembled non-stop, anyone who saw this kind of sharp weapon wanted it, and he was no exception. "Master Hou, divide this warship with me! This will make it much easier for me to attack Xuansu. ”

"Don't even think about it, this battleship can only appear in Pyongyang, you can't appear here, otherwise you will be alarmed. I'm going down the river now, and you're going to attack Xuansu in seven days, and you'll let everyone know that you've fought in seven days, and how big the movement is, and how big it is, in short, let everyone know that you've fought it.

We will appear in Shaseong in half a month, and then follow the coastline to Pyongyang, and try to end the war in January. ”

Cai Cong directly denied Meng Baolai's request, and his understatement made everyone feel more confident, before it started, the main general was already thinking about the matter of going out, how many people have this domineering?

"Report ~ Report to Hou Ye, grain, grass and ordnance, all the generals have boarded the ship, please set the time of departure."

At this time, the herald ran over and knelt on the ground and asked loudly, Cai Cong hugged his fists at Changsun Chong, and ordered: "The whole army boarded the ship and set off immediately." ”

"Take care, general, this is going hard, and the lower official wishes you a victory." The eldest grandson Chong said seriously, if you don't talk about personal relationships on this occasion, you don't dare to call Brother Cong.

"Lend you good words."

Cai Cong said that he boarded the big boat, and the flag-bearers on each boat blew the sound of pulling snails, and the huge boats were like water beasts, breaking through the wind and waves and going down the river, Cai Cong stood on the deck and looked at the dark river in a daze.

He didn't know the bottom of his heart at the moment, he had never been exposed to the information of naval battles in his two lives, and the strategy he set this time was only formulated by him according to the information on the map.

It seemed easy, but there were too many variables on the sea, and he was not sure that he would win.

"Master Hou, the frost and dew are heavy in the middle of the night, you should rest early!" Xu Jie, who had been by his side, handed over a handkerchief and said softly, Cai Cong realized that he had two runny noses and was about to freeze into ice.

He wiped his nose, turned and walked into the warm houseboat, listening to the wind and the sound of the waves, and gradually fell asleep.
