Thinking of this, Yang Yong turned to Yang Da and said: "Uncle Yang Huang, the war is urgent at the moment, everything is based on the war first, and the matter of thoroughly investigating the government soldiers will be left for later." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Yang Daying said that he is not a pedantic person, even if Luo Shixin is lying, if he really wants to investigate in the rear now, it will only cause chaos and make the war develop in an unfavorable direction.

"Luo Shixin!"

"The minister is here."

"In your opinion, if you adopt the strategy of the great general, how long will it take to defeat Silla and Goguryeo?"

"Ahh Hearing the emperor's question, Luo Shixin was dumbfounded, although he was strong in martial arts, he had not been exposed to this level at all, how could he come up with an idea?

Seeing Luo Shixin's reaction, Yang Yong couldn't help patting his head, he regarded Luo Shixin as another general in his memory, Luo Shixin is only thirteen years old now, and it is too much to ask him these questions, Yang Yong waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't have to answer this question, the two Aiqing will go down first." ”

"Yes, the minister retired." Luo Shixin and Xue Wanche bowed their heads and retreated.

After the two went down, Yang Yong put down Zhongwen's recital, and thought quietly, at present, there are 20,000 forbidden troops under the city of Pyongyang, 30,000 naval troops, 50,000 government soldiers, and the strength has reached 100,000, if you only maintain the siege of Pyongyang City, there are almost 50,000 horses, but it is impossible for the naval army to go ashore to besiege the city, in addition to the naval army, only 20,000 people can be used, and now there are only more than 20,000 cavalry on the north bank, and it is impossible to transfer all the cavalry to the south bank, these 20,000 people have at most 5,000 cavalry, and the other 15,000 people must also be infantry, In this way, there were 43,000 horsemen on the south bank of the Beishui. Even with the addition of 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, the combined forces of nearly 150,000 of the two countries still did not have an advantage in the face of Goguryeo.

The allied forces of the two countries only have 15,000 cavalry, and the Sui army has mastered the waterway, which is equivalent to having a strong rear, if the Sui army does not take the initiative to attack; Strictly speaking, the Sui army did not lose the battle during the day, and exchanged 2,000 cavalry for 5,000 cavalry of the Goguryeo people. If the remaining 15,000 cavalry of Goguryeo can be wiped out, no matter how many troops of the two countries are in such a plain, the combined forces of the two countries will suffer a great loss.

Time, it's all about time. If the combined forces of the two countries could hold out until the Beishui froze, the Sui army could only break the siege before it froze, otherwise all the ships would be trapped in the river, even if the Sui army could store enough food for the army before. Clothing, firewood and other items, the coalition forces of the two countries can also directly cross the ice to relieve the siege of Pyongyang.

Yu Zhongwen judged that the coalition forces of the two countries would not support it for a month. If so. When he could achieve a big victory before Bei Shui froze, Yang Yong lifted the pen, only to feel that the pen was a thousand pounds, and finally approved the word "can" on Zhongwen's music.

Another day passed, the sun slowly rose, and the barracks of the Goguryeo and Silla armies were lively, and many people stretched their waists. They had a big win yesterday. Half a night was celebrated, and each sergeant was given half a bowl of rice wine. There are also large pieces of horse meat, which let them eat to their heart's content, although the horse meat is rough, it is delicious for the Silla and Goguryeo lower-class soldiers who rarely eat meat.

Yesterday's battle, more than 5,000 horses were killed and wounded, and now that the weather has turned cold, there is no need to worry that the horse meat will deteriorate quickly, enough for the 150,000 army to eat for several days, and can eat horse meat every day, which makes the ordinary Silla and Goguryeo soldiers even more excited than winning the battle.

It's just that compared to the excitement of the Goguryeo people in Silla, the captured Baekje soldiers were a little miserable, they were tied up like meat skewers, crammed into a small space, and from the moment they were captured, although the water and rice were not entered, the vast majority of the soldiers still inevitably excreted, and the place where they were stinked and filled the sky.

In contrast to these, what makes them even more uneasy is that up to now, neither country has surrendered on the battlefield as an arrangement for them, and they naturally hope to continue to live, but this treatment will inevitably make them uneasy.

In the Silla camp, in the big tent of Princess Seondeok, Princess Seondeok and Yuan Taejo sat opposite each other, and the generals of the two countries behind them also sat in two rows, in order to thank Silla for the rebellion, Yuan Taejo personally brought people to the Silla camp tent to discuss the future plan with Princess Seondeok, and their conversation today will also decide the life and death of the nearly 20,000 Baekje captives. "Princess, I wonder how long your army's rations will last?" Yuan Taizuo asked this key question first.

Princess Shande said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Mo Lizhi, if the food of this ** team is used a little spare, it is enough to use it for half a month, and after half a month, you will need the support of Lord Mo Lizhi." ”

Yuan Taizuo couldn't hear it, and Gao Yanshou behind him couldn't help but say, "Does the princess know how long our army's rations can last?" ”

"The general laughed, will your army still suffer from a shortage of food when it is fighting in the territory?"

"Fighting within the borders? At present, our army's grain stock is less than 10 days, and although the grain in the rear can be transported, the daily grain transported is only half enough for our army's needs. ”

As soon as Gao Yanshou's words fell, the entire big tent suddenly became half cold, that is to say, after 20 days, the Goguryeo people will also be short of food, no food, how to fight, I knew this earlier, why did Silla fall out with the Great Sui, and cut off the way to retreat.

After half a ring, Princess Seondeok asked abruptly, "Lord Mo Lizhi, is this really the case?" ”

This matter has to be explained sooner or later, Yuan Taizuo has no intention of concealing it, Princess Seondeok sent someone to contact him, and he promised to supply Silla military rations, and now there is no need for Mu and Chengzhou to slap their swollen faces and become fat. Yuan Taizuo nodded: "Princess, it's true, if the princess doesn't dislike it, this official can give hundreds of loads of military rations to the Silla army every day." ”

"100 loads of military rations." Princess Seondeok's anger is uncertain, a hundred loads of military food is only more than 10,000 catties of food, and the 60,000 army is not even enough to drink gruel, Princess Seondeok finally calmed herself down, and said: "Lord Mo Lizhi, so my Silla army can't stay here, I can only return to China, so, please let go of the passage behind me and let my army pass." ”

The Silla army dared to turn against the Sui army because it could return to China by land after uniting with Goguryeo, but at this time, how could Yuan Taizuo be willing to let the Silla army go, he suddenly looked embarrassed: "Princess, your two countries are allies at the moment, and it stands to reason that the princess's conditions can be agreed to, but Hufeiling is still an important place in the rear of our army, if there is a mistake, the official army will collapse, and I ask the princess to forgive me for one or two, and when the Sui people are defeated, the official can ensure that the princess's army returns home safely." ”

The implication of Yuan Taizuo's words is that he doesn't believe in Princess Seondeok, who knows if the Silla people will suddenly seize the pass halfway when they go back through the Hufeiling Pass now, and take the Hufeiling Pass down, after all, the Silla people have a criminal record, they tore up the alliance with Baekje decades ago, and now they are tearing up the alliance with the Sui army, how can Yuan Taizuo be sure that Silla will tear up the alliance with Goguryeo?

However, Yuan Taizuo said it too intuitively, the Silla generals all looked ugly, and it was obvious that Goguryeo had put Silla together, so what right did they have to accuse them? After a few choking sounds, several Silla generals pulled out their knives from behind, pointed at Yuan Taizuo, and said, "What are you talking about, you still don't apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Choking a few times again, several Goguryeo generals also pulled out their swords, and several Silla generals with knives looked at each other angrily, although now although in the Silla camp, the Goguryeo generals have no reason to be afraid, the Silla people have no way to retreat, if they offend Goguryeo, as long as Goguryeo is left alone, the 40,000 Sui army iron cavalry can be leveled in half a day, and for a while, the big tent is suddenly full of arrows.

"Put the knife down." Princess Seondeok's eyes glared at several generals behind her, and several generals had to take back their swords in a sneer, to be honest, if Goguryeo really agreed to this, without the supervision of the army, the ninety percent Silla army would take the pass when they returned. Seeing the Silla people put away their swords, several Goguryeo generals also put away their swords, and the tent returned to calm.

"Lord Mo Lizhi, a hundred loads of military rations is too low, if so, wouldn't this palace want the soldiers to fight hungry, and this palace also knows the difficulties of the adults, so it is better to give half of the military rations transported every day to our army, so this palace also has an explanation for the soldiers below." Princess Seondeok had no choice but to retreat.

Yuan Taizuo knew that in order to stabilize the Silla people, it would not work at all without distributing food, but the Silla people wanted half, but it was the lion who opened his mouth, and the Goguryeo people and horses themselves were more than 20,000 more than Silla, not to mention that there were 15,000 cavalry, and the food needed by one cavalry could be used by at least three people, Yuan Taizuo said: "Sanqi, this official can supply your army with 30% of the grain, and supply it after five days." ”

"Fifty percent, starting today." Princess Seondeok gritted her teeth and refused to relax.

The two sides bargained, and finally reached an agreement of 46, which was immediately implemented, and the grain transported by Goguryeo from the rear every day was distributed to the Silla people in 40%, so that after the grain stock was exhausted, the Silla army could also ensure the daily supply of half a catty of grain for each sergeant, and the porridge was barely enough.

After reaching an agreement on the supply of military rations, the two armies discussed the issue of Baekje prisoners, and for Goguryeo and Silla, nearly 20,000 captives in the prime of life were a valuable asset, but in the current form, these 20,000 people became a hot mountain pole, and they reached an opinion without much consideration: all beheaded!
