Chapter 308: Wanting to Conquer Goryeo!
After Liu Chen left Qingdao County, he passed through Yantai County and finally arrived at Weihai County, during which he also met with Meng Tian, the guard general of Yantai County, and Li Guang, the guard general of Weihai County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In general, the Han army presented a thriving scene, Weihai, Yantai and Qingdao three counties, there are more than 500,000 troops, which is a big load for the three counties, food, equipment, money are now the Han army is facing the problem.
After discussing with several guards, it was decided to maintain the current army, as for food, equipment and money, Liu Chen would figure out a way, Liu Chen's idea was to allocate some money from Yan Shisan, and then contact the four major trading houses of the Donglong Empire to get food and equipment, although it could not fundamentally solve the problem, but at least temporarily controlled the current army.
Of course, as the supreme leader of an army, Liu Chen has to consider not only the immediate situation, but also the long-term vision, and it is the last word to fundamentally solve the problems of money and food.
Back in Weihai County, Liu Chen discussed with Wu Yong, Xiao He and others for several days, and finally came to a decision, that is, war!
That's right, it's a war, and now the Han army's land troops are resting, after all, they are too tired to fight continuously, so the war that Liu Chen wants to launch this time mainly relies on the sailors!
"King Han, the current sailors of Weihai County are more powerful than before, I don't know how many times, the warship is a full sixty, General Chen Ying and others have a whim, and the old man Li Mu has also built three behemoths, they say that this kind of ship is called a building ship, and a building ship is comparable to five warships!" The original city lord's mansion in Weihai County has now become the palace of the Han King, and in the main hall, Wu Yong said to Liu Chen with some excitement.
Hearing this, Liu Chen's expression was also shocked, he never expected that the development of the sailor division would be so fast, if Wu Yong said so, then the sailor of Weihai County plus the sailor in Tianjin County would have more than a hundred warships, which was unimaginable before.
"The appointment of Chen Ying as the general of the water division is really not the wrong person!" Liu Chen said with a smile.
Wu Yong also smiled slightly and said: "But isn't it, now there are nearly 90,000 sailors in the division, which has long exceeded the establishment of a division, during this time, the army has fought well, and all the generals have been promoted. ”
Chen Ying is the highest commander of the Han Army's naval division in addition to Liu Chen, during this time, the Han army was on land, and won successive victories, which made Chen Ying also hold his breath, training soldiers day and night all day long, in order to be invincible when the naval division went out to fight, after all, there are only a few generals in the Han army now, and he also wants to be one of them.
"He didn't wait too long, I came back this time just to send the sailor to start a war, and the army on land will also move, but it mainly depends on the sailor!" Liu Chen said.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yong's expression also became serious, and he said, "Are you going to move troops?" Is it Goryeo or Dongying? ”
Glancing at Wu Yong, Liu Chen smiled and said, "How do you know that my target is either Dongying or Goryeo?" ”
"Hehe, it goes without saying, because at the moment, these two goals are the most suitable." Wu Yong said with a smile, "Needless to say, Dongying is our rival in life and death, the blood debt they committed with us at the beginning still needs blood to repay after all, and Goryeo, this strategic position is very important, once we take Goryeo, then it will be a deterrent to the Jin State and the Liao State, and they are afraid that they will not dare to go south!" ”
Smiling slightly, Liu Chen asked again: "Then tell me, which one is we most suitable for?" ”
"Goryeo!" Wu Yong didn't think about it, and said directly.
Hearing this, Liu Chen looked at Wu Yong with some surprise and said, "Why is this?" ”
Wu Yong said with a smile: "Goryeo is the closest to us, if once the war starts, our naval division in the Bohai Sea can block the port of Goryeo as soon as possible, the population of Goryeo is limited, before the battlefield in Hebei, they had the opportunity to lose one-third of the country's troops, and their combat effectiveness has declined, it should be the easiest to fight them." ”
After a pause, Wu Yong said: "Dongying is too far away, and we don't have detailed information about Dongying, we don't know the deployment and quantity of the enemy's army, and we don't know it. ”
Nodding, Liu Chen motioned for Wu Yong to continue.
Wu Yong understood and said: "Take Goryeo, on the one hand, in addition to deterring the Jin State and the Liao State, you can also contain Dongying, if Dongying wants to fight again, you have to deal with the defenders of Goryeo first, otherwise, we can give them a fatal blow from behind, they call their eyes on Goryeo, then this will also force Dongying and our battlefield will be launched in Goryeo, which is also a good thing for our territory, at least to avoid the looting of the war!" ”
"Don't forget, Goryeo, Jin, Liao, and even Dongying are alliances, once we send troops to Goryeo, what will happen if the three countries send troops to help?" Liu Chen asked.
"It's easy!" Wu Yong returned and said, "As long as we arch the army forward from the two places of Chengde and Qinhuangdao, it is enough to make the Jin State and the Liao State dare not act rashly, as for Dongying, our sailor is not vegetarian now, not to mention defeating the Dongying Sailor, as long as the Dongying Sailor is dragged above the sea, it is enough for us to take Goryeo!" ”
It can be seen that Wu Yong knows the current situation of the Han army and the enemies of the Han army very well, which makes Liu Chen very happy, because Wu Yong's position here is very important, Liu Chen is not there, whether it is military or political, Wu Yong has to play a very important role, faintly, Liu Chen has Wu Yong as a military advisor to cultivate, after all, Wu Yong in the ancient history of the Chinese world is a wise and brave existence.
Wu Yong said that it was actually similar to what Liu Chen thought, although Liu Chen also wanted to immediately raise troops to destroy Dongying, but Liu Chen also knew that with the current military strength of the Han army's naval division, the expedition to Dongying was still slightly insufficient, first of all, the geographical location was not very accurate, on the sea, very many situations may occur, if you are not prepared, you may not reach Dongying, and the whole army will be wiped out.
Moreover, Dongying has the ability to cross to the Donglong Empire to invade, which also shows that the Dongying Empire has strong military strength, so to expedition to Dongying, you need to be completely prepared, at least one thing is guaranteed, that is, to make your rear worry-free, especially the three kingdoms of Jin, Liao and Goryeo.
Crusade against Goryeo, this is also one of the policies that Liu Chen has thought of a long time ago, the location of Goryeo is very important, as useless to say, one can deter Jin and Liao, and the army that can contain Dongying is the most suitable place, and now the Han army is extremely lacking in both finance and food, and conquering Goryeo is definitely the best choice.
"In this way, you go back and discuss with Xiao He, also, in addition to the sailor, I also need an army of about 50,000 soldiers to fight on the territory of Goryeo, you can help me find out, see who is suitable, give you seven days, and then tell me, how about it?" Liu Chen looked at Wu Yong and said.
When Wu Yong heard this, his expression was solemn, he bowed solemnly to Liu Chen, and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
