Chapter 658: Seeking Goryeo (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)
Hearing Yuan Gai Suwen's words, King Rongliu was still a little hesitant, he frowned and muttered: "How can General Yuan be so determined, if one day the Great Xia army is killed, what should it be?"
Yuangai Suwen didn't care, and said with a slight bow: "Even if the Great Xia army really kills, there is no need to be afraid, my Goguryeo occupies a dangerous position, and the so-called strong enemy is nothing more than that."
Yuangai Suwen here is very confident, after all, it was not without the Central Plains Dynasty sending troops to fight before, but Goguryeo is still surviving to this day, which shows this characteristic, and it makes him fearless.
Seeing that everyone was still panicked, Yuangai Suwen said to King Rongliu in a deep voice: "If Great Xia really sends troops, the general should personally lead the army to meet the enemy and raise the prestige of Goguryeo."
Since Yuangai Suwen is so confident, King Rongliu has nothing to say. If it can really defeat the Great Xia army, there will be no big problem, after all, King Rongliu does not like the Central Plains Dynasty either.
Now staying on the Korean Peninsula, Goguryeo is the only big brother, and the so-called Baekje Silla is the little brother. If this Central Plains Dynasty has to be involved, wouldn't it be very unpleasant?
Originally, he was the boss, but someone was stronger than him, and he had to recruit him as his younger brother. This feeling naturally made King Rongliu unwilling, if it wasn't for his strength, he would want to directly enter the Central Plains.
This matter was agreed in this way, Yuan Gai Suwen was quite confident, and he was very satisfied when he saw that the ministers agreed, and now he is above ten thousand people under one person, but it may not be said in the future.
……
After a lot of preparations, Luo Cheng's conquest army was ready.
A large amount of grain and grass has been transported to the border, waiting for the army to march forward. These are all necessary preparations, and if there is a problem with the food and grass, there is no need to fight.
This time, although there are not too many soldiers and horses, there are not many fierce generals, except for those generals who were sent to suppress the Quartet, such as Pei Yuanqing and Luo Shixin and others, they were all brought by Luo Cheng.
Luo Shixin is Luo Cheng's personal guard general, and because of his brain power, it is naturally impossible to guard the place. As for Pei Yuanqing, he is also a fierce general, and it is not appropriate for him to sit in charge.
This expedition to Goguryeo was personally commanded by Luo Cheng, commanding 50,000 Snapdragon troops and 50,000 Yanyun elites. Jiang Song is now sitting on the border, so he doesn't need to accompany him.
In fact, there are not so many generals needed for this expedition, Luo Cheng's current lineup is still very luxurious, I am afraid that when he arrives in Goguryeo, he will be able to push it sideways, where can he gather the strength of everyone?
After being ready in this way, Luo Cheng did not continue to delay time, but led the army to the battle. Accompanied by Cheng Yanjin, although this guy was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, it was still unreliable to guard one place, so he stayed in Xia Jing.
After being comfortable in Xia Jing for a long time, Cheng Yanjin was an idle master, so he was naturally a little happy. Although the day of the expedition was not comfortable, it still felt good.
"I originally thought that Daxia was stable, and it was no better than going on an expedition in these years, but I didn't expect to conquer Goguryeo again so soon." said this, but Cheng Biting Jin looked like a hanger.
Luo Cheng knew Cheng Biting Jin's character, but he was not surprised, nodded slightly and said: "This Goguryeo does not respect Great Xia, and acts recklessly, it was originally a self-defeating way, and this time it happened to be destroyed by the way."
Regarding Luo Cheng's words, Cheng Yanjin obviously believed it, nodded indifferently, and said: "It seems that it really won't take long, and the marshal doesn't have to be too anxious."
Hearing this, Luo Cheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this kid really has nothing to do. However, the plan for this expedition has been decided, and naturally it will not be changed because of it, if it is better not to send troops, the army will definitely crush it as soon as it comes out.
The army marched forward, and soon reached the border, and after joining up with the grain caravan, they marched together to the territory of Goguryeo. It's all up to this, obviously there is no need to report in advance, Luo Cheng is ready to win by surprise.
In this army, Xu Maogong is also among them, but the plan has been determined, and there is obviously no need for him to appear too much. On the contrary, Luo Cheng often asked Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who were close to him, and they were also admitted to the school.
When the army set out, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling really felt the strength of the Great Xia soldiers, and in today's stable economic foundation, such an elite division will definitely be able to exert extremely terrifying combat power.
In fact, the development of Daxia is much better than that of Dasui today, although the population has decreased sharply due to the war, but other aspects have not been left behind, and the economy is still developing step by step.
And now that potatoes and other grains have been promoted, the world's food is sufficient, and under the combination of various circumstances, the population is just waiting to catch up with or even surpass the Sui Dynasty in its heyday.
On the border between the two countries, what forms a barrier is an extremely lush forest. If you don't make adequate preparations, I'm afraid you will be planted here, but Luo Cheng obviously won't be like this.
Knowing that Goguryeo is in a special situation, but he is not prepared for anything, isn't it asking for hardship. He had already done research on the situation here, and he also analyzed it in detail to the army, so that even if he encountered special circumstances, he would not be in chaos.
Now Luo Cheng's first problem is to bypass Goguryeo's Tiandye defense line, and before its royal city can react, he will attack hard to let him know that Great Xia is strong.
Crossing the Liaoshui, the Bactrian army was close to the new city set up here by Goguryeo. This can be regarded as its first line of defense, and if Goguryeo detects an enemy attack, it will quickly support it.
Although Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo, is behind the Yalu River, it is still possible to drag on for a considerable period of time due to its geographical location. Under the circumstance of the surrounding strategy, it is enough to wait for the army to come to help.
Looking at this Goguryeo New Town, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but complain, this city is really too rubbish, and it is very different from Xia Jing, which is under construction now, even if it is the previous Beiping, it is far better than it.
This is true, after all, Goguryeo's resources are not as rich as those of the Central Plains, and they have considerable limitations. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses among them, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The reason why Goguryeo was able to resist Yang Guang's conquest several times was only because he underestimated the enemy. If he can avoid the trap, it will not be easy to take Goguryeo.
But a real war, even if it is a million army, is nothing, once there is a rout, everyone will be defeated, the so-called pros and cons are like this, Luo Cheng naturally will not let this happen.
"This city is equivalent to a Goguryeo stronghold, and it must be taken as soon as possible, if you keep this city, it will definitely change." Luo Cheng said very firmly, he has arrangements now.
Since it is holding on to the city, it is obviously not a problem to spread the news. Now what Luo Cheng has to consider is how to use this to create a greater advantage for himself.
