Chapter 993: Su Mo Yan Yan
Li Fengyun successfully persuaded the chieftains of various tribes, and these people are the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the long-distance attack on Pyongyang, as for the other generals of the Anton Army, whether it is Li Fengyun's descendants or Li Zixiong, Li Hun and other fallen nobles, the support of this plan must be the majority, after all, their own interests are directly related to the victory or defeat of this battle, in order to win the only way to do their best, if they blindly preserve their strength or are constrained by friendly forces, the final result will be pessimistic.
Once the decision is made, the next step is to discuss the specific attack plan. The Khitans have been allies with the Tatars for many years, and they are very familiar with the Tatars, and they are also well aware of the Hui Babu and the Hachuan River, so it is natural for the Khitan chieftains such as Dahe Duluo and Yelu Tieli to offer advice.
Li Fengyun directly named him, and asked Dahe Duluo to briefly introduce the Yan tribe and express his views and suggestions on the battle of Haochuan.
The Ya people mainly live between the white mountains and black waters, the white mountains are the Tutai Mountains (Changbai Mountain), and the black water (Songhua River) is a large river in the Far East.
There are seven major tribes of the Ya tribe, which are the Sumo tribe, the Baishan tribe, the Bolu tribe, the Anchegu tribe, the Funi tribe, the Horn Room tribe and the Heishui tribe from south to north.
Among the seven major tribes of the Stadia, the end of the millet is the strongest. The end of the millet lives on both sides of the millet water, and the millet water is the upper reaches of the Heishui (Songhua River). In the heyday of the end of the Su Dynasty, the strength of one of its tribes could confront Buyeo and Goguryeo head-on. More than 100 years ago, the Buyeo Kingdom, which had a history of more than 700 years, was defeated, and the Goguryeo and Su tribes immediately fought for the territory of Buyeo, and the two sides fought for more than 100 years, until the fragmented China and Turkey became rapidly strong after the reunification, seriously threatening the security of the Far East, and the two sides shook hands and made peace.
The strength is slightly inferior to the Heishui Department living in the upper and lower reaches of the Heishui River (Songhua River), but because it is thousands of miles away from the Sumo Water, the living environment is very bad, and it is still in the barbaric period of Rumao drinking blood, whether it is to the Sumo part living in the upper reaches of the Heishui, or to the Goguryeo, Murowei, Khitan and other foreign races, it cannot pose a threat, so it has not been concerned by the major forces in the Far East.
In this way, the Ya tribe has a distinction between the north and the south, and the southern part is an alliance of various tribes living on both sides of the Sumo River, including the Baishan tribe living in the Tutai Mountain, and the Bolu tribe and the Anche bone tribe living in the middle and upper reaches of the Heishui River, commonly known as the Sumo Ya; In the north, the alliance of tribes living in the lower reaches of the Black Water is the alliance of the Black Water Division, which includes the two major tribes of the Funi Department and the Horn Chamber, commonly known as the Black Water Turtle.
"The target we are going to attack today is the Su Mo Ya, and the target is the Hui Bao Department to which the Su Mo Ya belongs."
Standing in front of the map, he drew a circle with his finger in the upper reaches of the Sumo water and the area around Mt. Totai on the map, and then stopped on the Hagawa River on the map.
"Speaking of the end of the millet and the indigent, we have to mention a pair of brothers in the end of the millet and a pair of warriors who are famous for the end of the millet and the warriors, who are cunning and turbulent."
The two brothers led the army to sweep the vast area centered on the Sumoshui (upper reaches of the Songhua River) in the middle and late stages of the first emperor, and annexed more than 20 small tribes in one go, and forced the three major tribes of Baishan, Bolu and Anchegu to bow down to the vassals, and formed a bloody alliance, thus doubling their strength, and the common name of the Su Mo Jing Ya also came from this.
This was the middle and late period of the first emperor's opening of the emperor, and it was also the time when the Goguryeo king Gao Tang was ambitious to create the hegemony of the Far East, and the rapid rise of the Su Mo Jin Ya not only seriously threatened the flank security of Goguryeo, but also seriously affected the hegemony of Goguryeo, so Gao Tang was determined to defeat the Su Mo Ya, and then united with the Heishui Jin Ya, as well as the Murowei, Khitan and other foreign races, surrounded the Su Mo on all sides, and at the same time bribed and bribed the big tribes such as Baishan, Bolu and Anchegu, and plotted against the small tribes such as Huiba, Da Molu, and Fu Zhong, and split the Su Mo from the inside.
At the same time, he was also determined to defeat Goguryeo and expand his territory in the south, so on the one hand, he sent envoys to Middle-earth to claim vassal status and use the power of Middle-earth to contain Goguryeo, and on the other hand, he united with Baekje and Silla to plot to flank Goguryeo before and after.
During the reign of the first emperor, Su Mo and Goguryeo tore their faces, and fought with Gogo, but the alliance between Su Mo and Goguryeo was too loose, and the internal contradictions were fierce, and Baekje and Silla sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, trying to make a profit, but a few years later, Su Mo Jin was divided internally, and the brothers were defeated one after another, and their destruction was imminent.
At the critical moment, Middle-earth "shot". At that time, Middle-earth wanted to concentrate on splitting and weakening the Turkic Khanate, and had no time to look eastward, and could only passively defend in the face of the frequent invasions of the Far Eastern captives.
In the last years of the emperor's reign, the brothers betrayed their relatives and left their relatives, so they had to take eight affiliated tribes loyal to them, tens of thousands of people, and thousands of strings, from the siege of Goguryeo and other betrayed tribes to intercept a bloody road, go south to Middle-earth, and migrate to the territory of western Liao.
Soon after the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he died of illness, and his younger brother Tudiji led the people. In the first and second Eastern Crusades of Middle Earth, Tudi Ji led the army to go on expeditions, and made many meritorious achievements, and the officials worshiped Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Liaoxi Taishou, and Fuyu Marquis, and became a real general surnamed Northeast Xinjiang.
After Oga Tara finished telling the story of the brothers Dou and Tudiji, the generals in the tent also had an estimate of the message behind this story.
First of all, Su Mo Jin not only has long competed with Goguryeo for the hometown of Buyeo, but also coveted Goguryeo for a long time, salivating, at this moment coincided with Goguryeo being hit by the powerful Middle Earth year after year, dying, lingering for a long time, it is the best opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, how can Su Mo Jin miss it?
Secondly, Su Mo Jin is not monolithic, since the tribes within its alliance have betrayed the brothers of concealment and Tudiji, of course, they will not always keep their promises, knowing that the demise of Goguryeo is imminent, and they will continue to fight side by side with it. Taking a step back, even if some tribes such as the Hui tribe firmly believe in the cold of lips and teeth and insist on fighting side by side with Goguryeo, it is still a minority, and most of the tribes will protect themselves wisely, and even watch to the side, looking for opportunities to pick up the cheap.
From this, it can be assumed that the support of Goguryeo by the Sumo Jin Dynasty is a conspiracy, which is to deliberately use the power of Middle-earth to consume and weaken Goguryeo, and only wait for Goguryeo to hold on and collapse soon, and then give it a fatal blow to strengthen itself by destroying Goguryeo, then the situation on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition today is very complicated, and the Andong army's attack on Haochuan must be selective, rather than blindly killing, so as not to miss the opportunity to maximize benefits.
"Today, there are more than 30 large and small tribes in Sumo, with the five strongest tribes of Sumo, Huiba, Baishan, Bolu and Anchegu, and the most courageous are Mofu Tieli of Sumo, Mofu Yidian of Huiba, and Moverne of Bolubu." "For the past two years, the Sumo has been fighting alongside the Goguryeo people, but as far as I know, the only tribes that have really fulfilled their promise to send troops into Goguryeo to participate in the war are the three tribes of Suma, Huiba, and Baisan, as well as the small tribes attached to them, so there are no more than 20,000 people in Manda. ”
Speaking of this, Dahe Duluo looked at the generals of the Xi tribe in the tent, and his eyes showed a cold color, "It is precisely because more than half of the armies of the tribes in Sumo Jin are concentrated on the line of Buyeo City and the Xianchuan River, which is close to our Khitan, and poses a threat to our Khitan, so the Xi tribe launched a large-scale attack on the front line of Tuo Suchen Water last summer, trying to trap my Khitan in the plight of the enemy on the back and back of the enemy, and give my Khitan a heavy blow." ”
The Xi generals such as Wang Lei, Chu and Su Zhi were expressionless, did not say a word, and ignored the sudden "difficulty" of Dahe Duluo.
Li Fengyun decisively stopped and did not let Dahe Luo "use the topic to wave", "Does Mo Fu want to tell us that this year, or even now, a large number of troops have been concentrated on both sides of the Hui River?" ”
"I'm not sure, I need to send someone to investigate." "However, considering that last year, the Middle-earth army conquered Buyeo City, marched into the weak Luoshui, and pointed the sword at our Khitan, which has fully expressed its intention to eradicate the wings of Goguryeo, then the Sumo Yan must be on guard and must be heavily defended on the front line of the Hakugawa River." In addition, the Middle-earth Expeditionary Force has not withdrawn from Liaodong, judging from the position of Goguryeo and Sumo, this indicates that Middle-earth will launch a third attack, indicates that Goguryeo may be destroyed, and indicates that Sumo-inja has a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire and rob. Based on this, my guess about the current situation of the Shocheon is that at this moment, the armies of all the tribes of the Sumo Yak may have been concentrated, after all, whether it is to defend against the attack of Middle-earth or to rob Goguryeo by fire, all the tribes of the Millet Sect must be mobilized and fight with all their might. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Fengyun was silent. The generals in the tent also whispered in twos and threes.
Dahe Duluo's opinion cannot be ignored, but once it is taken seriously, Li Fengyun's strategy of eating the Hui Babu and sweeping the Hachuan must be implemented cautiously, because Anton's selection of the front army is no longer facing a Hui Bu of thousands of men and horses, but the 20,000 or 30,000 troops of all the tribes of Su Mo Ya, and if this battle is not fought well, it is possible to lose both, and what is more serious is that the traces of Andong's army will be exposed, and the news will reach Pyongyang, and under the full defense of the Goguryeo people, even if Andong's army plugs in its wings and flies, it is impossible to "surprise the enemy, The enemy is not prepared".
Li Fengyun pondered for a long time, and then turned his eyes to look at Yelu Tieli.
Yelu Tieli bowed and saluted, "Wolf Shuai, in this Eastern Crusade, we are fighting alone, what are the chances of conquering Pyongyang?" Even if we eat the Hui Var, sweep through the Hachuan River, and plunder a certain amount of grain and grass to ensure that we reach the city of Pyongyang, what is the possibility that we will conquer Pyongyang with our own strength? If we can't conquer Pyongyang alone, if we can't capture the city of Pyongyang alone, will we still be able to achieve the desired goals in this crusade? ”
Li Fengyun bowed slightly, silent in thought.
In this Eastern Crusade, the Khitan tribes poured out of their nests, with a clear goal, with the help of the power of Middle Earth and the opportunity of the destruction of Goguryeo, not only to survive the current crisis, but also to promote the development and growth of the Khitan. After the fall of Goguryeo, the overlord of the Far East ceased to exist, and the living space of the Khitan as its close neighbor will be greatly expanded.
In comparison, whether it is the Turkic people such as Ashina Tar, or the Xi and Xia tribes, because of their own special reasons, such as Ashina Tar is in the desert, Xi is determined to enter the customs and integrate into Middle-earth, and the Xi people live in the distant deep mountains and old forests to drink blood, the victory of this Eastern Crusade is not of substantial help to their future, at most, it is to obtain some wealth and merits, increase some strength, and win some goodwill in Middle-earth, so everyone often still has the idea of having both fish and bear's paws, both to preserve strength, They also had to gain something, so they had the enthusiasm to go east, but they did not have the determination and courage to fight at any cost.
Yelu Tieli's meaning is very straightforward, it is difficult to conquer Pyongyang with the existing strength of the Anton army, it is difficult to achieve the expected goal, and other ways must be found to increase the chances of victory, and this method is available to the Khitans.
After a long time, Li Fengyun looked up at Dahe Duluo and Yelu Tieli, and asked, "What is the plan?" ”
Daga Tara immediately said, "Bring the millet and the sage, and everyone will fight Pyongyang together." ”
Yelu Tieli added, "This is a long way to Pyongyang, if the army wants to reach the city of Pyongyang quietly, it is too difficult, and with the cover of the Sumo Ya, the chances of victory are greatly increased, and when you get to the city of Pyongyang, if the Sumo Ya can deceive Pyongyang's trust and let Pyongyang open the city gate, then the city of Pyongyang will definitely fall in one go, so the victory is in hand." ”
That's a good idea. Goguryeo, Su Mo and Khitan are both allies and opponents, and now Goguryeo, the overlord of the Far East, has declined, and the big brother is no longer good, and the two younger brothers, Su Mo and Khitan, have no reason to accompany the big brother to the funeral, and it is natural to worship the new big brother of Middle Earth, and then follow behind the new big brother to kill the big brother and divide the wealth of the big brother, so if nothing else, as long as the Khitan people come forward to rebel, this plan will be successful.
This is a double insurance for Li Fengyun, although he has done a secret deployment in advance, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, once there is an accident, the secret deployment fails at the critical moment, then all the plans fail, and there is a double insurance is different, this plan does not succeed There is another plan, and even two strategies can be used together, so it will have a miraculous effect.
Li Fengyun looked at Gao Hu, Erzhu Tianxiao and other generals of the Ma Army, and then looked at Ashina Duer, Humiliation Wang Lei and other chieftains with the surname of Ashina, and his eyes showed the meaning of inquiry.
What is the goal of the Crusade? It is to capture Pyongyang, sack Pyongyang, and strengthen itself by destroying Goguryeo, if this goal is not achieved, it will definitely be a trip in vain, and it is not cost-effective, so Gao Hu, Ashina and others invariably expressed their stance and supported this plan.
"Who went to Haochuan to inquire about the military situation?" Li Fengyun asked.
Ohga Duro and Jelu Tieli glanced at each other and smiled.
