Chapter 568: An Shicheng's reaction
The cavalry of the vanguard army left after sending the messenger to the valley, according to the plan set before, the messenger would stay in the valley for a while, which was also decided by Li Daozong after calculating the approximate time, and after staying for a while, he would go in the direction of Anshi City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In this way, it was discovered by the scouts of Anshi City.
Li Daozong would not know that the leader of the grain transportation team would run back to Anshi City, but he knew that if the grain transportation team in his army did not return to the camp after a while, he would definitely send scouts out to investigate, and this was the experience.
The soldiers who were selected to deliver the letter were the soldiers left behind by the former Sui in Beisha City, who had been working as coolies in Beisha City for more than 20 years, and they hated the Goguryeo people to the core.
That's the power of hatred.
"What about the city of Besha? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? Yang Wanchun asked.
The messenger shook his head: "Back to the general, everything is normal over there in Beisha City, and the people who handed over to us when we went to deliver grain and grass were also acquaintances, but if you look at the origin of those people, I am afraid that they are going to Beisha City." The messenger said.
Yang Wanchun straightened up and paced back and forth in the hall, the surviving person had nothing to doubt, because between his words, there was no suspicious flaw at all, and Yang Wanchun was also thinking in his heart, the target of those people must be Beisha City, and after asking, the result was really towards Beisha City, if this person was a spy sent by the enemy, and the timing of his appearance was not to mention the injury of this person, it was a big contradiction to let himself focus on Beisha City.
If they really took down the city of Beisha, and then let people come and send this news, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.
The vanguard army was able to reach Liaodong so quickly, and the number of people must not be too many, and it could be so quietly mixed into the Liaodong Peninsula......
"How many people can they have?" Yang Wanchun asked again.
"Probably.... Three and five thousand..... Small.. I don't know if it's all their ......."
Yang Wanchun nodded, waved his hand at the scout standing next to him and said, "Okay, take him down to rest." ”
"Yes, General." The scout responded.
The scout left, Yang Wanchun waved everyone in the hall away, now, he needed to calm down and think about what these Tang troops wanted to do, what their goal was.
Yang Wanchun didn't believe all the words that the person who sent the letter, but he also believed eighty percent.
According to what the man said, the number of the vanguard of the Tang Army will definitely not be less than 5,000 people, these 5,000 people go deep into the Liaodong Peninsula, and food and grass are also a big problem, so these people will definitely do something to Beisha City, and now the closest is Anshi City and Beisha City, Anshi City has heavy troops, relying on the vanguard army alone, Anshi City is a bone that cannot be gnawed, but Beisha City is different.
Yang Wanchun thought about it, ninety percent of the troops in Beisha City are naval forces, and now the naval army has fought with the naval division troops of Datang, that is to say, the defensive strength of Beisha City is very weak now, and with the vanguard army of Datang, it is completely possible to surprise attack Beisha City and take Beisha City.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it seems that the only way to do this is to send some troops to Beisha City from the side of Anshi City first.
"Someone!" Yang Wanchun drank outside.
"General." The soldiers on duty outside walked into the hall and knelt down on one knee.
"You quickly order 3,000 soldiers in the city, lead people to Beisha City, and when the vanguard of the Tang Army attacks Beisha City, you must hold on for two days." Yang Wanchun said.
"Yes, General." The soldier took the token from Yang Wanchun's hand and then left the City Lord's Mansion.
"Beisha City......" Yang Wanchun looked at the back of the soldier who left and muttered in his mouth.
With 3,000 soldiers and the original strength of Beisha City, if the city is really attacked, it is still possible to defend it for two days, and two days is enough time for Anshi City to react and send rescue troops to flank those vanguard troops before and after, encircle and annihilate them.
The soldiers in Anshi City were all elite soldiers brought out by Yang Wanchun, and naturally they were not comparable to those half-hung soldiers defending the city in Beisha City, and the troops of 3,000 people quickly set off and rushed in the direction of Beisha City.
At this time, Beisha City was still in full swing to strengthen the fortifications, and several moats outside the city were constantly expanding after they were formed.
Regarding the situation on the side of Anshi City, Li Daozong sent nearly 100 scouts to disperse in the area between Beisha City and Anshi City, in order to be able to fully grasp the situation between the two cities.
There is also the most important point in the war, that is, the news, the pattern of the vanguard army does not need to be too big, first focus on the city of Beisha and Anshi, and then the dynamics of Silla and Baekje, Li Daozong also needs to understand something, and then send the news to His Majesty Li Er through the sailor.
These two countries don't seem to be at peace with each other lately.
His Majesty Yi Er, who was still on the march, received a tip from the north, not from Goguryeo, nor from Silla and Baekje. It's Beidi.
His Majesty Li Er did not intend to spread this matter in the army, but covered it up for the time being.
That night, His Majesty Li Er wrote a letter in the big tent, and after the ink dried, he packed it and handed it to Deyi.
"Deyi, send this letter back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and send it to Fang Xuanling, I am waiting for him to reply, and also, call the eldest grandson Wuji." His Majesty Li Er said.
"No." Deyi responded, then walked out of the tent, called a secret guard out, and sent the secret guard back to Chang'an.
Not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji walked into the tent of His Majesty Li Er.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his hand.
"Excuse me, auxiliary, come and sit." His Majesty Li Er beckoned the eldest grandson Wuji to sit opposite him, and then handed the letter he received during the day to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Take a look." ”
A trace of doubt flashed on the face of the eldest grandson, and then he took the letter in the hand of His Majesty Li Er and unfolded it.
"Beidi is in chaos." After reading the letter, Eldest Sun Wuji raised his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, and sighed: "It's really timely, but fortunately, it hasn't affected Datang for the time being." ”
"yes, it's time for chaos." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I don't know if Beidi knows that our army of the Tang Dynasty is already on the way to Liaodong." ”
