No. 394 Wooing the Non-Wanyan Tribes

The reason is also very simple.

The reason why these tribes chose to move here was not because the conditions given by the Cai family were too good, but because these tribes were enemies of the Wanyan Department before.

Almost every one of them had an immediate family member killed during the Wanyan Tribe's expedition.

Moreover, the original gathering place of these tribes was the closest to Wanyanbu. The two sides already had a great enmity, and the leaders of these tribes knew that they were not opponents of the Wanyan tribe. They know very well that staying in their original settlement is a dead end. The Cai family gave such tempting conditions, and they were able to get rid of the threat of Wanyan and the Khitans.

This is the fundamental reason why these tribes moved here.

Among these tribes, the leader of one tribe is surnamed Su Shilie, and he is the one who led his people to rebel against the Ma Shilie Ma Produced by Wanyan Ministry. This person wanted to raise an army to attack Wanyan with his brother Lajiu and others, although he had also succeeded, but he was later defeated by Wanyan Agu's father Wanyan Impeachment.

Several of his brothers were killed one after another, and most of the clansmen turned their backs on him.

If it weren't for Cai Dao's indiscriminate entry, Su Shi Lie's hemp production would have been killed by Wanyan Agu in the original historical world.

Such a man would rather become a robber than surrender to his enemies.

And this time, the tribe besieged by the 50,000 troops of Goryeo is actually the tribe that Sushi Lie Ma has managed to gather over the years.

In fact, when the Goryeo sent troops, the Cai family's fleet was the first to get the news, and the first to predict that the target of the Goryeo people this time was these Jurchen tribes.

At the beginning, the people in charge of liaison with these tribes planned to take the initiative to abandon these fortified cities and send these Jurchens into the Goryeo Kingdom to retaliate.

In such a short period of time, it is very good to be able to make such a reasonable and effective decision.

However, after receiving the information and suggestions from the front, Cai Sansi still asked his subordinates to abandon this evacuation plan after careful consideration. The reason given is that they don't want to waste the few cities and docks that have been built with great difficulty.

All right!

This excuse is indeed difficult to argue.

After all, in ancient times, the weather and environment in Liaodong were indeed too harsh, and the number of days that could be used for construction was too few.

However, in fact, Cai Sansi didn't care about those cities and docks at all, but he didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to become famous.

After several years of contact, Cai Sansi has the most real sense of the army of Goryeo.

He didn't know how effective the army of Dali was, but compared to the armies of the Great Song Kingdom and several surrounding countries. The army of Goryeo was the lowest in combat effectiveness.

In the process of being sent to fight against the invasion of the seashore by the Japanese and the Cai family's fleet, the military headquarters of the Goryeo Kingdom did not have contact with these miscellaneous soldiers. However, before the Cai family's fleet showed its killer weapon, the flintlock pistol, these Goryeo soldiers either collapsed inexplicably or were rushed by Takagi's Japanese invaders. There are not as many soldiers who have been killed as they have trampled on each other.

Of course, these 50,000 soldiers were still stronger than the soldiers they had met before. After all, both the generals who led the troops and these soldiers belonged to the category of the Goryeo forbidden army.

However, after Cai Sansi's analysis, they have the ability to defeat this army.

fight

The most important thing?

Every ruler and general has his own answer.

The combat effectiveness of the army, the morale, the personal ability of the generals who lead the troops, waiting for these are all elements needed to win the war, in fact, there are many more.

However, Cai Dao once said to Cai Sansi that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

There is not enough food, and the side with more troops, especially the one that takes the initiative to attack, the greater the logistical pressure.

In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there are many places where we talk about the ways and methods of giving food to the enemy.

In fact, the Goryeo Kingdom took the initiative to attack this time, that is, to send 10,000 people over, and these Jurchens may not be able to deal with it. Because these Jurchens are not a tribe after all, when the two sides are profitable, they can still share wealth and prosperity, but there must be such a crisis moment, and no one can guarantee that these Jurchens will be in the same boat with them.

On the contrary, the more people on the other side, the easier it will be to sneak attack.

On the one hand, the Goryeo army has a large number of people, so it is natural that there will be the idea of underestimating the enemy, and these cities are extremely close to the sea, which also provides an extremely convenient condition for the Cai family's fleet to sneak attack.

After deliberation, Sushi Yeol Ma took the initiative to undertake the task of containing the Goryeo army this time.

This is because, among these tribes, although the tribe of Sushi Lie Ma has the smallest number of people, his tribe strength is the strongest. The predecessor of this tribe was actually a den of robbers, gathering a large number of enemies of the Wanyan tribe who had lost everything because of the conquest of the Wanyan tribe.

Their task is also very simple, as long as they hold the city for three days, the Cai family fleet will send people to surprise attack the granary of the 50,000 Goryeo army, once most of this grain is destroyed. Then, these 50,000 Goryeo troops will immediately fall into a panic. Because, not only did he lose his food supplies, but he would also be cut off by the Cai family's fleet.

You have this advantage by the sea, you can come and go freely. Whether to attack or not is completely up to the Cai family's fleet to decide.

As for the navy or navy of Goryeo,

After all these years, the Cai family's fleet and the Takagi family's raids, does Goryeo still have a navy?

Even the naval armies of the Goryeo Kingdom were wiped out. The land route for transporting grain will definitely be disrupted, and there is no passage at sea at all.

Taking advantage of this time, Cai Sansi immediately took action, on the one hand, he immediately mobilized the Cai family's fleet and rushed to the waters of the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible.

On the one hand, he also instructed Takagi to leave a small number of troops in his domain, gather all his men on Tsushima Island, and spend a lot of money to recruit a large number of samurai and soldiers in Kita-Shikoku on the island of Kyushu.

Either don't do it or never do it.

Since the Koreans took the initiative to come out to provoke, Cai Sansi didn't mind giving a big meal to the lord of Goryeo.

And then things were simpler.

Half a month later, the 50,000 Goryeo army arrived at its destination and divided its troops to besiege the cities of all the tribes, and the southernmost city where the Sushi Liema tribe was located had the largest number of troops used to besiege this city, with 20,000 people. However, the results of the Goryeo Kingdom shocked all the forces that chose to watch. Although the 50,000 army was scattered, however, with a gap of more than ten times, these soft-footed shrimp from Goryeo attacked for a full three days, and they did not attack the next city until now.

At this time, some Jurchen tribes that saw the signs were a little ready to move.

In particular, Wanyan Aguta, who had gathered a thousand troops on the second night, was ready to attack the Goryeo army and have a good meal.
