Chapter 36: Crazy Yang Guang
Niuniu's eyes widened and she looked at Cailian curiously: "Mother, when are you full?" “
Cai Lian glanced at Li Yin angrily, and served a bowl of rice for Niuniu, "Don't listen to his nonsense." ”
After the three of them had eaten, Li Yin said to Cailian: "You go and pack some clothes, and we will go out of the city to live for a few days." ”
When Niuniu heard that she was going to live out of the city, she immediately applauded, Cai Lian didn't say anything, and immediately went back to the room to quickly pack up her things, and the three of them took a carriage out of Pyongyang City and came to a large manor outside the city.
This is what Li Yin bought five months ago, and although he spent a lot of silver, the thing he doesn't lack for the time being is silver. After buying this manor, he came here from time to time to stay for a few days, of course, not always with Cailian and Niuniu.
At night, walking in a room in this manor, the candlelight was swaying gently, the bed was rolled by the waves, and the garden was full of spring that could not be closed, Li Yin left Cailian's body as if he collapsed after a heavy wheezing sound.
Yes, Li Yin and Cailian have already achieved good things.
Since Li Yin bumped into Cai Lian who came out of the water hibiscus that day, her graceful figure appeared in his mind from time to time, but at that time, because the task did not progress, and Cai Lian was a married woman, he forcibly suppressed that emotion in his heart.
But later, the undercover work achieved a lot of success, and Cailian was sold by her husband and came to his house homeless, Li Yin at that time was naturally not polite, launched an offensive against Cailian, and finally took down the half-pushed and half-done when the spring flowers bloomed in March this year.
"I will return to Pyongyang tomorrow." Li Yin sat up at this time.
"Hmm......" Cai Lian replied without opening her eyes, as if she had not recovered from the intense exercise just now.
Li Yin said again: "You and Niuniu stay here for a few more days, don't go back so quickly." ”
Cai Lian asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" ”
Li Yin looked out of the dark window, "Because Pyongyang City will not be very calm in the coming days." ”
……
On June 11, Yang Guang came to the south of Liaodong City to observe the situation in Liaodong City.
Then he summoned the generals and rebuked them, saying, "Do you think that you are in a high position, and you rely on your family background to be illustrious? When I was in Jingshi, you didn't want me to come, for fear that I would see your personal misdeeds and corruption. I'm here today to observe what you're doing! Today you are afraid of death, and you refuse to do your best, thinking that I cannot kill you? ”
All the generals were frightened and trembling, and their faces changed, but they did not dare to speak.
Therefore, Yang Guang stayed a few miles west of Liaodong City, lived in Liuhe City, and urged all the armies to attack the city with all their lives, but the cities of Goryeo were all held on to each other, and none of them were captured.
Among the military camps of the Sui Dynasty, there was a camp tent that was half smaller than Yang Guang's imperial camp, but much larger than the general's camp tent. The Great Tent of the Turkic Shibi Khan.
Shibi Khan's name was Ashina Dujishi, and he was the east. The son of the Turkic predecessor Great Khan and Qimin Khan, Qimin Khan died of illness in the fifth year of the Great Cause. The position of the Great Khan of the Turks has been almost three years now.
Shibi Khan joined the Sui army at the end of December last year, but so far, the 20,000 Turkic cavalry he brought with him had not fought a single battle with the Goryeo, and Shibi Khan himself was unwilling to fight, and Yang Guang was even more reluctant to let troops other than the Sui army contribute.
At this time, in the big tent, in addition to Shibi Khan, there are some other Turkic generals, all of whom are drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, although the supply of materials for the Sui army is a little tight, but the supply of the various vassals is what they want, and after eating and drinking in the Sui army camp for nearly half a year, most of these Turkic generals have gained weight several times.
Shibi Khan had been staring at the wine given by the Sui Dynasty in the hope (wine was something that could only be drunk in the entire military camp. He bowed his head in contemplation.
"Berturu, you go and tell Yang Guang now that I plan to go back to the grassland." Shibi Khan suddenly spoke.
The one named Berturu is actually a Han Chinese, but in the east. Holding an important position in the Turks, he was stunned for a moment after listening to the words of Shibi Khan: "But...... The Son of Heaven hasn't withdrawn yet, can we really go first? ”
Shibi Khan slammed the bowl full of wine in his hand on the table, "Let you go, where is so much nonsense!" ”
Berturu immediately knelt down, confessed, and after receiving a signal from Shibi Khan, he hurried out.
Shibi Khan snorted: "These Han people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!" ”
The generals in the big tent all stopped drinking at this time and looked at Shibi Khan with a surprised expression.
Although Naberturu was a Han Chinese, Shibi Khan used to attach great importance to him, and many things would be discussed with him, and everyone did not expect that Shibi Khan would reprimand him so shamelessly now.
Shibi Khan looked at the Turkic generals and sneered a few times, "I have learned the news, now the territory of the Great Sui is full of anti-people, and this faint monarch is still fighting here, I think this Great Sui is about to run out of qi, so we Turks, don't think about being their dogs like before!" ”
After Shibi Khan finished speaking, he drained the wine in the bowl, then smashed the bowl to the ground, and said loudly: "Follow me back to the grassland!" ”
As he spoke, he strode out of the tent.
……
Yang Guang's patience with this war was finally worn out after Shibi Khan led his troops away.
So he personally commanded the capture of Liaodong City, and on the other hand, he ordered his confidant general Yu Wenshu to lead Yu Zhongwen (left 12th army), Jing Yuanheng (left 7th army), Xue Shixiong (left 11th army), Xin Shixiong (left 8th army), Zhang Jin (right 12th army), Zhao Xiaocai (right 9th army), Cui Hongsheng (right 2nd army), Wei Wensheng (right 1st army) and other nine armies, a total of 355,000 people, starting from Huaiyuan and Luhe Liangtun grain fields, avoiding many Goryeo cities, and directly attacking Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo!
This move is undoubtedly crazy, marching and fighting, the first thing is to have sufficient supplies, without supplies, no matter how strong you have a million troops, there is only one way to defeat.
Therefore, in this era when there were no planes to drop food, the war was almost always pushed over, and only when the local cities were uprooted and the supply lines were safe, would they continue to march.
Of course, there are some exceptions to this, such as the northern nomadic tribes who burn and loot all the way, you can ignore the problem of supply, and if a few cities are really unable to be captured, and your own forces are enough to surround the uncaptured cities, you can also divide the army.
But now Yang Guang let the entire army of more than 300,000 people directly advance into the enemy's border without uprooting the enemy's city, march thousands of miles without supplies, and go straight to the capital of the enemy country, which is ...... This is something that has never been done before!
