Chapter 374: Northern Qi Relic Clan

When Luo Zhaoyun received the holy decree, he sighed lightly, he was about to be pushed to the forefront again, and the whole country was in the spotlight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This time, he commanded the five armies, with 40,000 soldiers and men in each army, which combined with 200,000 soldiers and horses, plus baggage coachmen and logistics personnel, which could reach 300,000.

Another test came, and Luo Zhaoyun was a little uneasy in his heart, because he knew through history that the three expeditions of the Great Sui to Goguryeo all ended in failure, so he was worried about his chances of winning.

"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!" Luo Zhaoyun cheered himself up, and the final win or loss was not his final decision, but in the vanguard battle, he bore the brunt of it, only allowed to win, not to lose, because the rear was Emperor Yang of Sui and an army of six or seven hundred thousand to wait and see, which had a great impact.

There was still a month before the date of the vanguard army's expedition, but Luo Zhaoyun did not dare to slack off, and had already set up camp in Beiping County, set up a marshal tent, and carefully studied the battle map.

He wanted to recapture the land of Liaoxi and land in Liaoshui before Emperor Yang of Sui arrived, lest Yang Guang come to the battle to supervise the battle, issue orders indiscriminately, and tie himself down.

According to the information that Luo Zhaoyun has, the people living in western and eastern Liaodong are mainly fishing and hunting peoples, unlike the grassland peoples who are completely herding, but they are not farming peoples, so the Khitan, Goguryeo, Xi, Jin and other ethnic minorities live together, and they are naturally good at hunting, fishing, and brave and good at fighting.

"The battle of the river beach is the key, how can we reduce casualties, in addition to the frontal attack, if there is a cavalry, diagonally inserted from here, straight behind the defense line of the river beach, then the odds of victory are great." Luo Zhaoyun's eyes lit up, and he thought of a trick, which was to arrange some cavalry to cross the river from the upper reaches in advance, enter the land of Liaodong to hide, and then listen to the signal to launch a surprise attack.

In addition, he can also send some death squads in advance, disguised as fishermen and hunters, scattered in the Liaodong region, and when the time comes, sabotage and burn the camp to cause trouble, which can also distract the defenders.

In short, Luo Zhaoyun will not be as rigid as Yang Guang, and he still disdains to use the art of war, but he just attacks head-on and suffers heavy casualties, which is too stupid.

………

The land of western Liaoning, Liuchengyi.

In a large courtyard, there are hundreds of samurai with swords, patrolling the courtyard, and in the side courtyard wings, there are still hundreds of strong men.

This is a point of contact for the old nobles of the Northern Qi relics.

Gao Qinglan, Gao Yufei, Gao Zhipeng, Gao Ruhong and others gathered in a secret room to discuss the flag-raising event.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a monk spoke: "The Great Sui is a poor soldier to redeem the army, Yang Guanggang is self-serving, launching an unprecedented war, a million male soldiers attack Liaodong Goguryeo, the battle line is too long, resulting in defeat and return, after the beginning of spring, there will be a second conquest, the scale is larger, many places suffer from famine, taxes are heavier, the people are miserable, they can not bear the exploitation of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they are unwilling to die in Liaodong, so they have fled, drilled into the deep mountains and old forests, or were led to the mountains by the heroes of the green forests from all over the country to reorganize, now, There have been many places where the green forests and grass have become rebels, such as Wang Bo and Meng Rang of Zouping of Qi County, Wang Suba of Shanggu County, and Wei Dao'er of Zhao County of Hebei Province, all of whom have raised their banners to oppose the Sui, the world is in chaos, and our opportunity to restore the country is finally coming.

Gao Qinglan said: "My cousin joined the Maitreya Sect, learned Buddhism, increased his wisdom, and studied martial arts, and after many years of silence, he can finally leave the Pure Land of Buddhism and do something great." ā€

This monk is also an old nobleman of the Gao family, named Gao Tansheng, the year before the Luoyang Lantern Festival, Emperor Yang of Sui was assassinated, and a group of self-proclaimed Maitreya sectarians made a rebellion, in fact, he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Gao Tansheng sighed: "If your heart is concerned about the world and filled with hatred, even if you are in Buddhism, it will be difficult to enter the Pure Land, no matter what, I have not finished my mundane affairs, I should not take the opportunity to take advantage of it, the revenge of the Northern Qi Dynasty for the overthrow of the country cannot be avenged, overthrow the Great Sui, and the Northern Qi will be able to restore its territory." It's just that the timing is still a little hot, if the Great Sui is defeated again, so that the people of the world hate Liaodong, and all the people in all parts of the country revolt against the Sui, that is just right, now I heard that Emperor Yang of Sui issued an order, Pai Luo became the vanguard commander, attacking Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui commanded hundreds of thousands of troops behind, and there was also a land and water march, that Luo Cheng was a young man, and successively made great achievements, and had to be guarded against, once he was like a bamboo, destroyed Goguryeo, and the Great Sui stopped fighting and restored peace, then our efforts were in vain. ā€

The old man Gao Ruhong said: "Luo Cheng has a reputation, it is said that the last defeat of the Great Sui was because he was young and high, which made Yang Guang suspicious, was seized of military power, and was idle behind, responsible for the affairs of ordnance and grain and grass, and did not charge into battle, but later he suddenly appeared with a military horse to block the pursuing soldiers of Goguryeo, won more with less, won three battles and three victories, and forced more than 100,000 Goguryeo troops, stunned that he did not chase and kill the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui, so this person is indeed an obstacle. ā€

When Gao Yufei heard this, her heart trembled, she had been with Luo Zhaoyun for a while, and naturally understood his talent and skills, such a young man made her admire, and she secretly felt emotional, at this time, she was worried that the Gao family would be unfavorable to Luo Zhaoyun.

"If you get rid of him, it won't get in the way." Gao Zhipeng couldn't help but say.

Gao Qinglan said: "This matter, should be considered in the long run, not to mention that he saved me and Yu Fei and others six or seven years ago, even the last time the capital stuned Jun, Yu Fei was in trouble, and he was also rescued, we can't take revenge!" In addition, there must be a lot of people who want to deal with Luo Cheng, and there is no need for us to take action personally, after all, the entire three northeastern counties of the Great Sui are all under his jurisdiction, heavily guarded, and the layers are tight, and it is difficult for assassins to enter the army to assassinate the commander. ā€

Everyone nodded, feeling that there was some truth, whether they could choose such a powerful assassin was unknown, and besides, I heard that Luo Ben was very strong, and there were iron guards all around, so he couldn't get close.

Gao Tansheng smiled coldly and said an unfathomable word: "Wait a minute, those ancient sects have also sent disciples out of the mountain, and some sects must follow the heavenly machine to do things, and they will not let Luo Cheng get in the way and block the general trend of the world!"
