At the end of summer, the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, Yalu water.

The progress of the expeditionary army was slow, one was that the Goguryeo people were strong and cleared the wilderness, and wreaked havoc on the roads, the second was that this year's rainy season was more violent, the rain was continuous, the rivers were surging, and the road was even more muddy, and the third was that considering that the supply of grain and grass was very difficult, the soldiers had to bring enough rations for a whole month, and at the same time, because of the thousand-mile leap forward, long-distance combat, in order to ensure the degree, they had to reduce a large number of vehicles, but the necessary combat equipment could not be reduced, on the contrary, it had to be increased, so the weight of the guards was far away, Yan zhòng out of the body lì bearing limit.

The road is broken, the bridge is broken, there are selected front troops to open the road in front of the mountains, and build bridges in the water, but the guards' burden-bearing standards can only be solved by themselves, and the body is good, gritted their teeth and insisted, and the bad body is troublesome, Shangguan's scolding is a trivial matter, and dragging down the team's marching degree is a major matter, which is to cut off the head. As a last resort, the guards had no choice but to secretly reduce their burdens, and when they went to bed at night, they buried the rations, clothes, and other things they brought that could not be used for the time being, so that the burden would be reduced almost in ten days and a half months.

This matter is strictly in violation of military discipline, but this matter is even stricter and deviates from the objective facts, the commanders who issued the orders are too bureaucratic, and the grass-roots officers have to face both the complaining soldiers, the unsympathetic superiors and the ruthless military discipline, and if they do not cope with it well, they will either lose their official positions or lose their heads, and they will be forced to be helpless, and they can only have policies and countermeasures, and they will turn a blind eye to the "burden reduction" of the soldiers.

It's just that when all the guards of the expeditionary force are "reducing their burdens" and all the grassroots officers turn a blind eye to this, it will inevitably cause serious consequences. After the incident was exposed, although the law did not blame the public, the consequences were already in fact and had an impact on the long-range attack on Pyongyang, and for this reason, the commanders had to consider not how much responsibility they would bear for this, but the lives of the 300,000 soldiers under their command.

General Zuo Yiwei Woo Van Shu explicitly mentioned that he urgently addressed the Holy Lord and the Pivot, and elaborated on the many difficulties faced by the long-range attack on Pyongyang, as well as the great dangers that resulted from these difficulties and were sufficient to endanger the security of the expeditionary force.

In fact, at present, the food can still be supported, although the guards buried their own rations for the second half of the journey, but the food in the baggage battalion is enough to support the expeditionary force for half a month, but in this way, the expeditionary force has not even half a month to attack Pyongyang. From the point of view of military common sense, this battle cannot be fought, and the conditions are not met. Of course, if the rear can deliver food and grass weapons to the city of Pyongyang in time, and send them in a steady stream, this battle can still be fought, but the question is, does the Holy Lord dare to guarantee it? Does the central center dare to take responsibility for this?

Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu, clearly objected. From a political point of view, the importance of ending the Eastern Crusade this year is self-evident, and from the current war situation, a long-range attack on Pyongyang and a water-6 flanking attack is the only means of attack that can achieve this goal. From a military point of view, the naval division has already been out and is about to arrive in Pyongyang, and at this time, the sudden withdrawal of the 6th Route is equivalent to allowing the Goguryeo people to concentrate all their forces to attack the naval division, which will not trap the naval division in danger? Besides, whether or not Pyongyang can be conquered in one fell swoop is not a decisive condition, but only one of the necessary conditions, so Liu Shilong believes that grain and grass cannot be used as an excuse to stop attacking Pyongyang.

Liu Shilong insisted on killing Pyongyang and insisted on hitting Pyongyang with water 6. You haven't even arrived in Pyongyang, how do you know that you can't create a miracle and conquer Pyongyang in one fell swoop? Taking a step back, even if Pyongyang is not captured and the army is withdrawn, it is better than giving up halfway, at least to give an account to both the top and the bottom. In addition, more importantly, the expeditionary force can show the Goguryeo people their determination not to defeat Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, which will inevitably hit the morale of the Goguryeo people and make the Goguryeo people afraid, and may force the Goguryeo king to surrender the whole country, or force Pyongyang to break down the internal strife.

From the perspective of safety and security, the expeditionary force should stop at Yalu Water, first take down half of Goguryeo, and then use a winter to consolidate the victory, hoard grain and grass, and lay a solid foundation for the capture of Pyongyang and the destruction of Goguryeo next year.

But he is not only a military boss, but also a political boss, his perspective on the problem can not only be limited to the military, but also must weigh the gains and losses from the political level, for this reason he must not only take Liu Shilong's opinion seriously, but also repeatedly think about Yuwenshu's mentions. Obviously, Yuwenshu's mention yì has ill intentions and harbors evil intentions. Yu Wenshu is the absolute confidant of the Holy Lord, the spokesperson of the Holy Lord in the military, and one of the members of the core of the center.

The reason for this long-distance attack on Pyongyang is Yu Zhongwen, the reason is very simple, from a military standpoint, Yu Zhongwen is the number one bigwig in the military, not only highly respected and famous, but also has rich experience in commanding battles, so he is the most suitable candidate, but if he considers from a political standpoint, Yuwen Shu has a high position and is above Yu Zhongwen, and he is a natural candidate for commander-in-chief.

But why did the Holy Lord let Yuwen Shu be subordinated to Zhongwen? Why can Yuwenshu endure such grievances and be willing to assist Zhongwen? The bureaucrats and aristocrats saw at a glance that the most aggrieved thing about this matter was not Yu Wenshu, but Yu Zhongwen, who was a "scapegoat". The battle is won, the credit belongs to everyone, and those who see it have a share; lost, the first responsible person is, of course, Yu Zhongwen.

For the Holy Lord, Yu Zhongwen can give it up, but Yu Wenshu definitely can't give it up. Yuwenshu is not only the henchman of the Holy Lord, but also the face of the Holy Lord and the center, if Yuwenshu becomes the supreme commander of the front line and loses the battle, Yuwenshu will certainly accept the punishment, and the Holy Lord and the center will also lose face and authority. Therefore, from the standpoint of the Holy Lord and the Center, Yuwenshu must go to the front line, and the Holy Lord and the Center can only remotely control the expeditionary force as if they were commanding the Saint Lord and the center, so that the expeditionary force can achieve the purpose of the attack according to the intention of the Holy Lord and the center, but the commander-in-chief must not be Yuwenshu, it must be someone else, so Yu Zhongwen was very unfortunate to sit in this "hot" position.

Yu Zhongwen knew that whether he wanted to or not, this position was his, but who was he? Will he be a "scapegoat"? Will you make a wedding dress for someone else? When the army embarked on the journey, he firmly grasped the command and did not sell Yuwenshu's account at all. I said that you can fight how you want, you don't want to be verbose, let alone get involved, I admit it if I lose, and the credit for winning the battle is indispensable to you, in a word, I have the final say on the front line.

How could Yu Wenshu be willing to let go? The matter was heavy, he did not dare to let go of power, and let Zhongwen do whatever he wanted, because he knew the secret of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord asked him to advance to Pyongyang at any cost, in order to contain the main force of the Goguryeo people and cover the sailors who came to Hu'er to attack Pyongyang first. But Yu Zhongwen didn't know this secret, Yu Zhongwen thought that Laihu'er was waiting for him on the sea and joined forces with him to attack Pyongyang, so if nothing else, Yu Zhongwen would fight steadily and slowly, take advantage of his own advantages, take advantage of the enemy's resistance, and try his best to eliminate the enemy's living forces outside Pyongyang, which is not only conducive to the siege war in the later stage, but also conducive to his own calm withdrawal of troops. In this way, the advance of the expeditionary force will be slow, and the containment of the Goguryeo people will be weak, which will not be conducive to Lai'er attacking Pyongyang.

It is true that Yu Zhongwen seeks stability, and he instructed the commanders of all armies to seek stability, not to rush forward, not to let the guards be exhausted, and to be slow rather than fast, and the reason why senior officers and grassroots officers connived and acquiesced in the soldiers' private "burden reduction" was precisely because of Yu Zhongwen's message of "passive sabotage" from this order. As for whether Yu Zhongwen deliberately took advantage of the lack of food and grass to make a fuss, whether he had already prepared to return without success, and whether he made a marching plan and attack deployment with the goal of returning without success, it is unknown.

In desperation, Yuwenshu sang with a white face and confronted Yu Zhongwen everywhere, while Liu Shilong sang with a red face and repeatedly confronted Yuwenshu. When Yu Zhongwen made a decision, he couldn't help but discuss with Yuwenshu and Liu Shilong, but Yuwenshu was with him, and Liu Shilong and Yuwenshu were against Yu, and the two often fought for each other, and Yu Zhongwen stayed away from these two people, and didn't believe in either of them, the result can be imagined, the chicken and the duck are talking about it, and the three of them can't pee in a pot at all.

When he arrived at Yalu Water, Yu Zhongwen was more cautious and delayed crossing the river. Yuwen said that he was angry, Yu Crisp dug a pit for him, since you don't cross the river, then Yu Crisp will use the lack of food and grass as an excuse to play the Holy Lord and the center, don't go, this battle will not be fought, this year's Eastern Crusade will end here.

Of course, Yu Zhongwen can't write such a concerto, and if he writes it, he will write it in vain, even if the Holy Lord and the center "let him go" now, but this account must be recorded, and it will be counted together after the autumn.

While the three of them were arguing over whether and when to cross the river, an envoy from Goguryeo came. The identity of the person who came was noble, the first person under the king of Goguryeo, and he was the ruler of Eulji Wendeok.

Eulji Mundeok went straight to the point, saying that he had come to surrender, in order to avoid Goguryeo from dying in the war, and in order to save innocent lives from fire and water, he was willing to respond internally, and only wait for the expeditionary force to kill under the city of Pyongyang, so he opened the city gate for the expeditionary force and offered the head of the king of Goguryeo.

A miracle happened.

Liu Shilong was very happy, and immediately negotiated with Yizhi Wende, and reported to the Holy Lord and the center.

Liu Shilong is one of the key members of the Central Committee who insists on resolving the crisis in the Far East by diplomatic means. From the perspective of the interests of the Far East in China, China does need Goguryeo to restrain the Far Eastern captives and stabilize the situation in the Far East, but the premise is that Goguryeo can be stronger than the Far Eastern captives, but it cannot override the Far Eastern captives and dominate the Far East. As long as Goguryeo does not seek hegemony and does not pose a threat to the interests of the Far East in Middle-earth, then Goguryeo is the best Far Eastern vassal of Middle-earth. After all, after the destruction of Goguryeo, the situation in the Far East will be chaotic, although the melee of the captives is also beneficial to Middle-earth, but the potential danger to the security of the frontier is obvious, so if you can force Goguryeo to give up the dream of hegemony by force and submit to Middle-earth from generation to generation, it is still in the best interests of Middle-earth.

At this time, Yu Wenshu sang white face again. Before leaving, the Holy Lord gave Yu Zhongwen and Yuwen Shu a secret order, and if there was a chance, they would hunt down and kill Yizhi Wende. The Goguryeo people lost Eulji Wendeok, just like a wolf lost its minions and had no power to resist. Yuwenshu advised Yu Zhongwen not to have illusions about the Goguryeo people, and not to disobey the secret order of the Holy Lord, and to immediately arrest Ulji Wendeok.

Yu Zhongwen hesitated. Previously, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had always wanted to use diplomatic means to solve the crisis in the Far East, but they were tricked by the Goguryeo people, so they became angry and determined to destroy Goguryeo by force, which led to the expeditionary force leaping thousands of miles to kill Pyongyang, but then the situation of the war changed, and the Goguryeo people were in danger, so Eulji Mundeok came, does this mean that Pyongyang is divided internally? If Pyongyang is divided internally, this opportunity cannot be missed, otherwise in the future, the Holy Lord and the center will be blamed, and they will not be able to eat and walk around. Of course, it is also possible that Etozhi Wende may have surrendered by deception to stop the attack of the expeditionary force, but this judgment cannot be made by himself, but should be made by the Holy Lord and the center, so that no matter whether it is right or wrong, the responsibility is not his own.

In addition, Yu Zhongwen really did not want to attack Pyongyang, and the expeditionary force implemented Duan Wenzhen's strategy at the wrong time, unless there was a miracle, the chance of victory was extremely low, and once the army was defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Yu Zhongwen also had the intention of procrastinating, and it happened that Yizhi Wende came to surrender, so whether it was true or not, it could be delayed for a period of time, which was in line with Yu Zhongwen's intentions.

How could Yuwen Shu let Yu Zhongwen get his wish? If you don't catch it, I'll catch it.
