Since Ming Lindafu established the Zaoyuan defense line, this Goguryeo fortress group has not fallen for ten years, and the two Xuansu county governors have come, but they have returned in vain...... But today, Gongsun Xun brought a ragtag army that may be more numerous, but not necessarily strong in terms of combat effectiveness, but he actually went down in a day!

Therefore, as a person who participated in almost every battle of Zaoyuan, Xu Rong was quite in a trance for a while, as if he was in a dream.

But when he opened his eyes, the strings of prisoners, the cheering Han army sergeants, the rags and miscellaneous soldiers picking up tatters everywhere, and the white horse flag hanging on the high platform of the Goguryeo Chinese army camp, told him unmistakably that Zaohara had indeed changed hands!

Moreover, there is a reasonable explanation for all this, that is, the defender of Goguryeo's original defense line is a complete fool!

First, he was arrogant and took the initiative to attack with inferior troops; After the defeat, he didn't know how to stabilize his position in time, so he let the Han army follow in, and almost handed over the Zhengzhong battalion, which was extremely strong and well-fortified; In the end, after the Han army entered the camp, not only did he surrender personally, but he even took the initiative to surrender the rest of the camp for the Han army!

This guard general from that department has almost made all the important mistakes that a general can make, so if such a character acts as a guard, how can he defend it even if he is given a Lulongsai? !

Of course, having to say that, Xu Rong looked up at the white horse flag on the high platform above his head...... Is this Gongsun Lingjun really just lucky?

Is it really just a coincidence that something so weird happens?

If not, it means that this Gongsun Lingjun's means and level are far beyond the imagination of a martial artist; And if it is, it will be even more terrifying...... This kind of luck combined with the decision on the battlefield can probably be called luck!

As soon as he thought of this, after Xu Rong stepped onto the high platform, he couldn't help but be a little more careful.

"Xu Sima came just in time," Gongsun Xun hurriedly greeted with a smile when he saw the visitor. "I'm already sitting down, where to go, I'm just going to listen to Sima's opinion!"

"The general sat in the original 11th battalion in one day, and all the troops obeyed," Xu Ronggong saluted. "If the general wants to do something more, my subordinates are willing to serve."

"The general doesn't dare to be a general, but in addition to the title, what he wants is exactly Sima's words." Gongsun Xun stood under the flag, holding the knife in one hand and his own outsider with the other, and said with a smile. "Zaoyuan has been taken, the gateway to Goguryeo has been opened, and I am ready to take advantage of the freezing of the Hunjiang River in winter, go directly to the old capital of Goguryeo, Susheng Bone City, and then enter the heart of Goguryeo between the Yalu River and the Hunjiang River to sweep it...... If things are still going well, I even want to go to the capital of Goguryeo at the foot of Ji'an Mountain to threaten me...... What does Xu Sima think? ”

Xu Rong seriously lowered his head and thought for a while, and then immediately replied: "It's feasible!" ”

"Tell me!" Gongsun Xun said simply.

"The population of Goguryeo was only 400,000, and there were only 10,000 standing soldiers on weekdays, and 2,000 were destroyed by the general in one day, and 8,000 remained. In addition to the fact that there are 4,000 people in the capital, and the children of nobles and strong men can be quickly recruited to expand the army, the rest of the armies are divided into various places, which is to temporarily collect strong men for civil defense, and it cannot hinder our army. Xu Rong replied calmly. In other words, if our army takes advantage of the other side's failure to react and immediately sends troops, it will be difficult for the Goguryeo people to mobilize an army that can compete with our army. ”

Gongsun Xun immediately shook his head one after another, and this was actually a simple math problem involving the speed of assembly, mobilization potential, and the speed and combat effectiveness of the troops.

He only has 10,000 people, but most of the cavalry, and there is no shortage of mules, horses, carts, etc., so the speed is extremely fast, and the combat effectiveness is not too bad; On the other hand, although the Goguryeo people are a country with a population of 400,000, and there may be 50,000 or 60,000 strong men mobilized throughout the country, it takes time to mobilize, and it also takes time to assemble troops...... Therefore, unless they had premeditated, Gongsun Xun could have rushed directly to the capital of Goguryeo in one go, helping the dumb and dumb to form a huge military deterrent and help the latter succeed.

And isn't this the goal of Gongsun Xun's trip?

"That's right!" After Xu Rong finished saying this, he suddenly took the initiative to ask again. "General, I wonder if the generals here have asked for reinforcements from the rear until last night?"

Gongsun Xun was slightly stunned, and then reacted suddenly: "Are you saying that we can take advantage of the lack of reinforcements and directly meet the attack?" ”

"Not bad." Xu Rong suggested seriously. "If we can eat another reinforcement, then our army will go to the hinterland of Goguryeo, and then it will really be like entering a no-man's land."

Gongsun Xun nodded again and again, but suddenly shook his head.

Xu Rong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the idiot who ran through that department didn't ask for reinforcements at all?" ”

Gongsun Xun didn't explain much, just bowed slightly.

Xu Rong immediately understood, so he gave his leave, claiming that he would go below to supervise the cleaning of the battlefield.

"Shaojun." Lou Gui waited for the other party to leave the high platform before stepping forward. "It seems that the quick victory in this battle has made the whole army excited, and even Xu Rong, who was the most perfunctory before, is willing to take the initiative to fight."

"Don't talk about that," Gongsun Xun said as he waved his hand and stared condescendingly at the situation in the valley. "Uncle Zi, although everyone said that they could enter the army with confidence, those Hu people were just ready to go in and plunder and make a fortune because the door of Goguryeo was wide open; Among them, the Buyeo people not only had enmity with the Goguryeo people, but also had long been associated with the mute and dumb people, so they were eager to immediately promote this coup d'état; Only Xu Rong stayed out of the matter, and the reasons given seemed fairer...... If we want to make a decision, we should still follow his train of thought! ”

"Then you should act quickly!" Lou Gui also confessed his thoughts. "Xu Bojin obviously means that as long as we move fast enough, the Goguryeo people will not be able to mobilize enough troops......"

"That's not what I meant." Gongsun Xun pointed to the dense but constant soldiers in the audience, and suddenly interrupted the other party's words. "I mean, since the total strength of Goguryeo is limited, and the purpose of our rapid action is only to make the opponent not enough to gather troops, then why not weaken the opponent's forces first, so that they have no troops to adjust and no troops to use, and then we can do whatever we want?"

Lou Gui immediately came to his senses: "What does Shaojun mean is that the 'reinforcements' that Xu Rong said just now may be promising?" But didn't the dumb and worried brother Miru say that he was worried yesterday that we would march too late, so he didn't ask for reinforcements. ”

"Then go and ask now," Gongsun Xun said as he withdrew his gaze from the audience. "You go to Miru and ask him to write a letter to ask for reinforcements!"

"Won't the defeated soldiers tell the reinforcements the truth?" Lou Gui Zhengse reminded. "It is impossible for the Goguryeo people to be captured by the whole army, even if there are cavalry chasing along the main road for a while, there will always be many defeated soldiers who will take the opportunity to escape into the mountains and forests...... Will it be self-defeating then? ”

"Since it is a defeated army, how many people dare to look for the army again?" Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "Aren't you afraid of being court-martialed? And even if there is a defeated soldier who bumps into the reinforcements, on one side are a few deserters, and on the other side are the top nobles in the country, who will the reinforcement generals believe? It's just to put 10,000 steps and say, if things don't work out, and if reinforcements don't come, what do we have to lose? ”

"What Shaojun said is extremely true." Lou Zibo thought seriously for a moment, and then directly gave his hand. "I'm going to find Na Miru and urge him to write a letter inviting reinforcements!"

Gongsun Xun waved his hand and said nothing.

………………

"What do you mean?!"

Time came to the evening in a blink of an eye, however, just as Gongsun Xun was hosting a banquet in the Goguryeo camp to entertain high-ranking officers and some low-level officers and warriors with special honors, Lou Gyu, who had gone and returned, brought a piece of news that made him extremely dissatisfied. "This guy doesn't want to write a letter?"

"Namiru said that he was only following his brother's instructions and had to do it for the sake of the family." Under the torches, there were still blood stains and scratches on the back of the Goguryeo camp, Lou Gyu explained. And even after the deed was completed, he was still a Goguryeo...... There were many Goguryeo soldiers killed and injured here, and he couldn't bear it, so how could he deliberately attract soldiers to let the Han army kill him? ”

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while.

"And he also asked Shaojun not to fight along the way, but to march to the capital of Goguryeo as soon as possible according to the previous agreement, and also asked for prisoners and soldiers here to be his subordinates, and asked for food, grass and ordnance ......"

"Do you think he's really stupid or fake?" Gongsun Xun couldn't bear it anymore, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's a show of truth." Lou Gui said with his hands in his hands.

"What do you mean?"

"I think he was really loyal to Goguryeo, and he was quite sad about the heavy casualties when he gave up the throne today, so it is normal for him to react like this under such circumstances...... After all, as such people say, they are just trying to seize power, and if the seizure of power is successful, won't they cherish the Goguryeo country even more? ”

Gongsun Xun was silent, just staring at the situation around him thoughtfully...... He rewarded the meritorious in it, but he didn't notice that there was a dance in the valley.

"What is Shaojun thinking?" Lou Gui asked curiously when he saw this. "At this time, the other party is desperate, what should we do?"

"I'm thinking," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but retract his mind and shook his head. "The human heart is fragile, and the thing of surrendering and betraying the country for the sake of family selfish interests is like a water bursting the embankment, what is the difference between doing one thing and doing two? Isn't he the one who wants to give up Zaihara? Since this person has already committed such a thing, but he is still demanding his innocence, isn't it in vain to make people laugh? Maybe it's just pretending, why don't you go and scare again? ”

"Not really." Lou Gui also shook his head immediately. "I think it's true, and I'm scared."

"That's even more interesting." Gongsun Xun said abruptly. "Unless he feels that he is not betraying the country for glory by letting go of the original seat...... Otherwise, where would they be so arrogant? ”

Lou Gui was stunned for a moment: "What does Shaojun mean by this?" ”

"Uncle Zi." The fog is thick and even more clammy and cold. was temporarily called out of the big tent, Gongsun Xun was not wearing a big hat and iron armor, so at this time he could only instinctively hold the knife handle on his waist. "You know that after the battle was easily won, it was clear that the gate of Goguryeo was opened, why didn't I march quickly, but instead asked everyone in the army one by one on the high platform how to behave?"

Lou Gui shook his head slowly.

"Without him," Gongsun Xun said frankly to his confidant. "Don't look at them calling me a famous general in Northern Xinjiang or anything, but the big formation in which I really lead the troops to fight alone is only the battle of Danhan Mountain...... In that battle, almost everyone thought that they would win before they got out of the fortress, at least they were undefeated, but the people of the world underestimated the Tanshi Huai and Xianbei people, they could pull the most remote eastern Xianbei over to change the balance of power, and they could ruthlessly use Danhan Mountain as bait and then concentrate their forces to continuously eat all the people and horses who divided the troops, forcing us to be in a desperate situation and have to fight to the death. ”

"What do you mean by Shaojun, there may be an ambush ahead?" Lou Zibo was stunned and speechless. "Shaojun is a little suspicious, right?"

"Maybe I'm suspicious, but at this time, except for a sitting plain that was easily snatched over, what is the difference between the situation after the sunrise stopper? The other country is in front, the situation is very good, and it seems that the road is smooth. However, if you really get out of this way and enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, you don't know what the situation is going on? All military information was transmitted to us through the Buyeo people, and we ourselves did not know anything about the distribution and mobilization of Goguryeo's troops. ”

"But the small country of Goguryeo Puer, how can it be compared with Xianbei?" Lou Gui still finds it incredible. "Their population is only 400,000, and their soldiers and horses are not more than 10,000, so what if they are assembled?"

"That being said," Gongsun Xun said more and more seriously. "But how can our army compare with the elite military strength of the imperial court in the past?"

"The imperial court was defeated that day because of the inconsistent dispatch and forced division of troops." Lou Gui thought about it. "We don't divide our troops!"

"It's already divided." Gongsun Xun replied awe-inspiringly. "When the base camp at the fork of the Liaohe River was assembled, there were a total of 10,000 people, and when they marched here, they had already allocated 2,000 to Ziheng as a stay and logistical support. And if you march quickly, how many people do you think should be left here to receive them, how many logistics personnel should be left, and how many people should be left to escort the prisoners? Less, with the terrain of Goguryeo, people have copied the back road here, won't we become caged birds? And if there are too many left, how can we guarantee the combat power in front of us?! Moreover, as mentioned before, if you march into the capital of Goguryeo along the Susheng Bone City, how many people should be left in the Susheng Bone City? When they arrive at the capital of the other country, how many people can there be? ”

In the face of his father-in-law's repeated inquiries, Lou Zibo, as the only strategist here, was silent for a long time, and slowly bowed his head: "If the Goguryeo people are really prepared, they will take advantage of the winter farming to recruit troops early, and then clear the fields along the way, so that the supply of our army will gradually lengthen, I am afraid that it will eventually fall into a dead end." ”

"There are few people in Goguryeo." Gongsun Xun raised his head and sighed. "It may not be necessary to clear the fields along the way, but I am afraid that as soon as we leave this place, countless Goguryeo soldiers on their horses will flock to recapture this place, and then we will run headlong into the tens of thousands of troops that have already been assembled...... At that time, the back road will be cut off, and the front road will not be able to rush away, wouldn't it be even more sinister than the Danhan Mountain that day? There is always a road to escape from on the grassland, and there are clear roads here, where can you escape? ”

Lou Gui was also speechless for a while.

"However, this speculation is based on the premise that it is dumb and scrupulous, and deliberately deceived from beginning to end." Gongsun Xunfu shook his head again, as if he was also a little undecided. However, Ming Lin Dafu claimed to be Mo Lizhi and dominated the dynasty, and now he is getting older and his body is weak, which is also the exact news that everyone knows...... It is natural to choose an heir if the body is weak, and it is natural that the son inheriting the father's position will inevitably cause domestic dissatisfaction. In this case, how could the dumb and dumb be willing to come out and carry out such a ruse for the Ming Lin Tafu? Am I really suspicious? ”

"Don't say suspicious, don't be suspicious!" Lou Gui suddenly said at this time. "That being the case, Shaojun, I have a plan, maybe I can break this situation calmly! It's up to you to have the courage to do it! ”

"What's the plan?" Gongsun Xun didn't blink his eyes.
