Lai Cheng shook his head and said, "Father, the child thinks that the speed can't be increased too fast. Now this sailing speed is just right. ”

Laihu'er whispered "oh": "Why is that?" Isn't it a good thing to land early? ”

Lai Zhengse said: "No, now landing, I'm afraid that the Goguryeo army will be in strict formation, our army crosses the sea for an expedition, the water and soil are not adapted, there are many soldiers who vomit and seasickness these days, even those horses are listless, and the main force of the enemy in this state will be battled, I am afraid that the victory is unpredictable, even if it wins, it will be difficult to capture Pyongyang." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded: "What you said has some truth, but is it because of this, our army will not take the initiative to attack, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, this is the true nature of a man." After all, Goguryeo is a big country, a strong country, how can it go down without a fight. ”

Lai Cheng smiled slightly: "Father can delay at sea for a while longer, and when Goguryeo Liaodong is tight and forced to transfer the army to the Liaodong battlefield, our army will suddenly land again, and it will be a miracle." ”

The corners of Laihu'er's mouth hooked: "Your idea is good, but how can you know the movements of the Goguryeo army?" ”

Lai Cheng's eyes flashed: "Our army can change course and use a partial division to follow the original route and go straight to Pyongyang, but the main force will go a little southward and land in Baekje, and when the time comes, we can attack with Baekje, not only can we grasp the movement of Goguryeo, but also force the Baekje army to act with us, which is really killing two birds with one stone." Our army is on land, there are sufficient supplies, and the cavalry can also restore their combat strength, so naturally they are not afraid of the Goguryeo army. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding generals changed greatly. Even Laihu'er was silent. Long. Only then did he turn his head to the deputy marshal Zhou Fashang on the side and said, "General Zhou, what do you think of the whole thing?" ”

Zhou Fashang shook his head: "Although the idea of Liulang (to rank sixth) is wonderful, in the eyes of this general, it is not feasible. ”

Lai Cheng was a little unconvinced, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhou Fashang said calmly: "First of all, the first thing is the status of our army. It is not the main force that attacks Goguryeo, but the division that responds to the actions of the army, so what we want to think about is not to let the main army of the Supreme help us attract the Goguryeo army in Liaodong, but on the contrary, to drag the Goguryeo army in the Pyongyang area so that it cannot rush to the aid of Liaodong. As long as Goguryeo loses Liaodong and our army has a city and base in Liaodong, then even if they can't be destroyed this time, they can come back the next year, and they can be fully successful. ”

"Second. Although the king of Baekje is subordinate to our country, his people are cunning. Knowing that Goguryeo can block my Great Sui for them, once Goguryeo destroys the country, I am afraid that Baekje will be the next target, so they are yang and yin, according to the return from the front, although the king of Baekje sent troops to fight, but only on the border for a show, and did not really attack Goguryeo, on the contrary, if our army lands in Baekje, I am afraid that they will regard us as a more terrible enemy than Goguryeo, not only will they not join forces with our army to go on the expedition, but will try their best to drive our army away, or even eliminate it, let alone join forces to go out at that time, I am afraid that our army will fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back. ”

Lai Cheng sneered: "The people of Baekje don't have the courage to do this, if they really dare to attack our army, not to mention that my 100,000 army is strong and strong, they can't destroy it, even if our army is unfavorable, Baekje will also offend my Great Sui, aren't they afraid that the heavenly soldiers will cross the sea and destroy the country in the coming year?" ”

Zhou Fashang shook his head, and his tone was calm: "That's also a later story, the Baekje people have always sought a balance between various countries and forces, they can ally with the Japanese state, they can maintain a tacit understanding of mutual non-aggression with Goguryeo, and they can also claim to my Great Sui, even if we offend the Great Sui, under the premise that Goguryeo is not destroyed, it is unlikely that we will raise a large army to crusade against them, at least this time the plan of advancing by sea and land, and containing the main force of the Goguryeo army cannot be realized, so there is a huge risk in this matter, so it is better to be careful." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded and said: "General Zhou's thinking is far-reaching, Liulang is still a little younger, I don't know the stakes, and besides, our army's battle plan and marching route are all determined by the Supreme, and if you fight against the order, even if you win, you may be offended and imprisoned, or even killed, you must not do so." It is said that I will order that the course will not change, speed up the rowing speed of the oarsmen, and within ten days, they must land in Goguryeo! ”

A heavy conch horn sounded, and on a large loach boat of the rear army, Xu Gai stood at the bow of the boat, looking gloomily at the flags raised by the command ship of the front army, the colorful flags, clearly conveyed the order to speed up the march of Laihu'er, the corners of his mouth hooked, and turned back to Wang Bo and Ge Qian who were standing behind him and said: "Tell the brothers, speed up the oars, don't be out of touch with the large army fleet in front." ”

Wang Bo spat hatefully into the sea: "Damn, Zhang Xutuo, this dog thing, drove the grandfathers to stay in Qi County, and could only blend into the army of Liao, these days the brothers have fallen into bad luck, seasickness continues, this has to speed up the speed of the march, how can people live!" ”

Ge Qian's face was yellow and white for a while, and he suddenly ran to the side of the boat, opened his mouth, and said "wow", a large pile of fresh food eaten in the morning, just like that, it turned into a mess of rotten things, mixed with his stomach juice and bile, and gave the sea food, and under his influence, dozens of sergeants on this deck also followed suit and vomited into the sea.

Xu Gai shook his head and sighed: "You Shandong men, usually lack water-based exercise, so you can't withstand the wind and waves when you go to sea. ”

Standing beside Xu Gai, Xu Shiji, who was silent, was surprised: "What, Daddy, isn't it just to avoid trouble when we go back to Goguryeo, but also to really fight?" ”

Xu Gai sneered: "Although we are bringing thousands of Zhuang Ding this time, and we have brought our own dry food to join the army, and we have not found Wang Bo and Ge Qian, but this does not mean that we can mess around in the army, although many Zhuang guests from Shandong vomit, but many of our oarsmen are Jianghuai old people, they are in good health, in my opinion, the overall situation of our boats is stronger than that of the northern soldiers, especially those cavalry." ”

Wang Bo's brows furrowed: "Lord, we won't really fight to the death with the Goguryeo soldiers, that won't do us any good!" ”

Xu Gai's eyes flashed coldly: "When you get to a foreign land, everything is possible, let's act when the time comes, if Yang Guang's expedition to Liao fails, we may be able to take the opportunity to lay down a territory in Goguryeo and take the opportunity to stand on our own, and we don't have to go back to face Zhang Xutuo, the killing god!"
