Wang Shichong said softly: "Do you really think that the demise of Goguryeo is unnecessary?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes: "The lord really has the heart to destroy Goguryeo?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, because of this Liaodong expedition, the more you fight with Goguryeo, the more I feel that this opponent is very terrifying, exceeding the threat of the Turks and Tuyuhun to our Central Plains, if the world is in chaos, we must find a way to destroy them in advance, or it will greatly damage their vitality, so that they will not be involved in the disputes in the Central Plains." ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "Although the Goguryeo army is tenacious and good at fighting, after all, it is the same farming nation as the Central Plains, the soldiers need to be temporarily requisitioned, and they are very prepared, and the equipment is far from the Sui army, the most important one is the scarcity of war horses, the Sui army has to cross thousands of miles of Liaodong Wasteland to fight them, and the pressure on logistics is huge, but on the other hand, if Goguryeo wants to attack Yingzhou and Youzhou of the Great Sui, it will also have to go thousands of miles, do you think they have this ability?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said faintly: "Originally, I didn't think they had this ability, but now I feel that with the strength of Goguryeo, which is almost a state in the Central Plains, it can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, so it is not impossible to take advantage of the war in the Central Plains to send troops to the state." If the Great Sui is unified and strong, they naturally don't have the courage and ability, but if the world is in chaos and the wolf smoke is everywhere, they will have other thoughts, not to mention anything else, that is, their land of Liaodong, isn't it also taking advantage of the chaos to seize the land of Liaodong of the Han Dynasty? ”

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth hooked: "But Yingzhou is different, it is the land of western Liaoning, close to the Guannei, and the soldiers of Youzhou can support at any time, close to the Central Plains, and far away from Goguryeo." Besides, Goguryeo's Liaodong is an independent kingdom, Yuan Taizuo controls Liaodong alone, and even the king of Goguryeo can't interfere. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Goguryeo's endurance is stronger than you and I imagined. In the first battle of Liaohe, although our army was also a big victory, it eliminated more than 30,000 Goguryeo troops, and its own losses were also about 30,000, which did not have any advantage, and if it was not for Yuan Taizuo's intention to frame Yang Qianshou, I am afraid that more than 20,000 people in the final palace can also run away at least half, so the losses of their eastern Liaodong team are not too great, and then the infant cities of each city will be firmly defended. The generals of the Sui army were secretly competing again, and the generals were out of harmony, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky if they wanted to win quickly. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "The lord still has the heart to care about the war in Liaodong?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, I don't think Yang Guang can take Liaodong this time, now come to Hu'er to win the first battle, kill Gao Jian, and approach Pyongyang." The messenger had crossed the sea and headed north, taking the mouth of the Datong River into Liaodong. reported to Yang Guang, once he knew the news, not to mention Yang Guang, even Yuwenshu would abandon Liaodong City and lead the army south to grab the merit, and the army would not defeat the enemy at that time. The grain route was affected, but it was necessary to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy army thousands of miles away, and it was very likely that it would be ambushed by the enemy army and defeated in a battle. ”

Wei Zheng's face changed: "It won't be so miserable, how can the Goguryeo army have the strength to ambush Yuwenshu's army again?" This time they lost so much. Even Gao Jian, who is like the god of war, was killed, and all the strength was afraid that it would not be enough to defend Pyongyang City, let alone ambush Yuwenshu. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, Xuancheng, have you forgotten that the enemy army has powerful servant cavalry, these cavalry have not even seen a shadow until now, the Goguryeo people will definitely not use these cavalry to defend the city, if my expectation is good, Eulzhi Wende can also think of this, that is, use this cavalry as a strategic reserve and use it at the most critical time." ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Does the lord mean that he wants to conquer Pyongyang and force the Goguryeo people to use this last army in advance?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Exactly, if Pyongyang is unable to defend, then Ulzhi Wende is no matter how much he has an idea, he can't stand the cry for help of the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan, and he wants to put this army into a counterattack against the Laihu'er army, so that they are really out of strength, and the troops of Laihu'er can also be said to have completely played a strategic role, even if they can't defeat Pyongyang, they can mobilize all the main forces of Goguryeo and hold on until Yuwenshu comes to rendezvous, and when the time comes, the two armies will be united, and the supplies of the Laihu'er army will be sufficient, even if the Yuwenshu army has no supplies, You can also take it from Laihu'er and attack Pyongyang together, when there is an eighty percent chance of winning. ”

Wei Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly: "But the lord let Goguryeo perish like this, just cheapened Yuwenshu, and what good is it for us to protect these people?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "First, if Goguryeo destroys the country, Gao Yuan as the king, and his clan is wiped out or captured, Goguryeo will have no owner, even if there is continuous resistance from all over the country in the future, but there is no co-owner, even if the Sui army retreats, they will not be able to become a unified country for decades or hundreds of years, let alone take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to join, and it will also become a force that competes for the world." ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "Then the lord is worried about Goguryeo, isn't he worried about the Turks, Tuyuhun and Tufan?" ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said: "The strength of the Turks is strong, but after all, it has not yet recovered to the point of unifying the north and south of the desert during the previous period of the wooden pole Khan, Shibi Khan took hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack the border fortress, and it is okay to rob everywhere, but it is impossible to move into the Central Plains and establish a dynasty like the Northern Wei Dynasty in the past, unless he can unify the tribes in the north and south of the desert first, so the Turks are not worried." And Tuyuhun's strength is very strong, at best, he can restore the country in the Hehuang area, and it is impossible to join the chaos in the Central Plains. ”

"As for Tubo...... said this, Wang Shichong paused, and the green light flashed in his eyes, "Tubo has this ambition and this ability, but they have not yet unified the snowy plateau, and that Bang Saise has come to explore the topography of the mountains and rivers in my Central Plains for more than a year, and the customs and customs are saying that they want to do business and trade, but in fact they are looking for a passage to enter the army, but it is difficult for them to go down the plateau, the north is blocked by Tuyuhun, and the passage down the mountain in the south can reach Shuzhong, but it is rugged and difficult. It is unlikely that a large force will pass in the short term. ”

"So after thinking about it, Goguryeo, which was originally attacked by the Great Sui, may become the biggest threat to Siyi in the troubled times after relieving this momentum, and the Goguryeo people are an agrarian people, relying on the city, and are good at defense, if they take the opportunity to encroach on Liaoxi, it will be difficult to recapture it. Xuancheng, in the future, I don't want to fight against Waiyi when I am fighting for world domination, so take advantage of this time, I have the opportunity to destroy Goguryeo, and I must not let it go!
