Chapter 975: Each has a ghost

PS: Thank you book friends for the monthly pass support of autumn leaves, XMQXJ, expectation 123444, xinyang719, Yuki Kaede, and I also want to write and other friends. Welcome to my book friend group to discuss the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the group number 219263410.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said, "What, does this battle plan make a difference to you?" Although he was already well aware of the contradiction between the king of Goguryeo and the eastern Sayon Taizuo, he didn't want to say a word in front of Eulji Wendeok, hoping to take this opportunity to get some Goguryeo's inside story out of his mouth.

From the depths of Wang Shichong's heart now, although he didn't want Yang Guang to win, he didn't want Goguryeo to win easily, and a Goguryeo that had greatly increased its strength through war would pose a huge threat to his plan to conquer the Central Plains in the future, so that the Sui army would be defeated, and at the same time cripple Goguryeo, so that it would not be able to go south for decades, which is the most ideal situation.

Yizhi Wende pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, General Wang, now the cooperation between you and me should be the greatest sincerity, and I will not hide it from you, after all, our purpose is the same, we don't want Yang Guang to win, for the sake of you revealing such important information to me today, I will also tell you the truth, this battle plan is very important to us, if the combat goal of the Sui army is only Liaodong, then we can send troops to support later, but if they are coming to destroy the country, then we can't say it, so we have to fight the country in advance!" ”

Wang Shichong pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes wide: "Hey, isn't Goguryeo your Goguryeo territory?" Or did you not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Liaodong this time in order to consume the sharpness of the Sui army? ”

Eulzhi Wende smiled: "General Wang doesn't know, our Goguryeo is divided into five departments. Give the mattress of the five parts respectively. Oh. It is equivalent to your vassal king in the Central Plains, or an adult to rule, hereditary replacement. And our king of Goguryeo is the central Fusa, nominally the suzerain of the other four tribes. The land of Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of our eastern Fusa, so the land of Liaodong is the army of our Goguryeo headquarters. It is also not allowed to be stationed in normal times. ”

Wang Shichong pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and nodded: "It turns out that there is still this level of relationship, so in this way, Liaodong is considered to be the country within the country of your Goguryeo, but what kind of eastern mattress is now, do you have any understanding of how powerful the Sui army is facing now?" Is it now that he doesn't want to lose his independence, so he refuses to ask your king for help, or does your king deliberately sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, happy to see him and the Sui army fight to the death? ”

Ezhi Wende stroked his beard and smiled: "There are two reasons. The eastern Sa Yuan Taizuo has always been the strongest of our Goguryeo forces. Don't take our king in his eyes, as the great pair of Lu, that is, the prime minister of our country, but never left Liaodong City, came to Pyongyang to enter the court, his arrogance and arrogance have long angered our king, if it weren't for the powerful Sui Dynasty has been looking at the tiger, I am afraid that our king would have raised troops to eliminate the Yuan family and take Liaodong back under his rule. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Indeed, there are many such things in the history of the Central Plains, the vassal king is powerful, and after a few generations, or even more than ten generations, it will be a big tail. ”

Eulzhi Wende smiled slightly: "Exactly, our five mattresses are actually the descendants of the first king of Goguryeo, but after more than ten generations, there is no blood relationship for a long time, and even the surname has been changed along with the tribes that have separated from each other." In fact, if we really care, we are all surnamed Fuyu, that is, the surname of our first founding king of Goguryeo, Fuyu Zhumeng. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "So this time your king is happy to see this Yuan Taizuo destroyed?" ”

Eulzhi Wende shook his head: "No, although the relationship between our king of Goguryeo and Yuan Taizuo is not good, but after all, they are a family, breaking bones and connecting tendons, and Yuan Taizuo has no open rebellion, so our king can't watch him destroy you Sui Dynasty, but it is also necessary to teach him a lesson, let him know that without our king, he doesn't want to sit in Liaodong." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "So you hope that this Yuan Taizuo will defend Liaodong to the death, and when the Sui army and him are exhausted and can't hold on, you will send troops to rescue you?" ”

Ezhi Wende smiled and nodded: "That's right, Yuan Taizuo is also my famous general in Goguryeo, he is well versed in the art of war, and he has always had a good relationship with Gao Taichu in the north, so Gao Taizuo will bring a large number of cavalry from the Khitan, Xi people, Tongluo, and Beji departments to help in the battle, plus Yuan Taizuo's headquarters, the strength will not be less than 300,000 people, although your Sui army has millions of people, but it is difficult to expand on the entire Liaodong battlefield, and the maximum number of people who can be put into battle is only five or six hundred thousand people, and you want to eat Yuan Taizuo in one bite and capture Liaodong City, It's not an easy thing to do. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "But the morale of my Sui army is high, the armor soldiers are sharp, whether it is a general or a soldier, they are full of the desire to make meritorious contributions, so you should also know that Yuan Taizuo may not be able to block the blow of the Great Sui, you must know that this time Yang Guang is the royal commander, and the Sui generals from all walks of life will not dare to neglect their duties, and they will definitely fight to the death." Compared with the Central Plains army, the equipment and training of the Goguryeo army are still a lot worse, even the strongest steppe Turkic cavalry is difficult to match the sharpness of the Sui army, I don't think Yuan Taizuo can hold it. ”

Eulzhi Wende smiled slightly: "Maybe in the field, the Goguryeo army really can't beat the Sui army, but our Goguryeo people are a tough people, and the best thing is to defend the city, our Goguryeo cities, most of them are built on high mountains and mountains, and most of your Central Plains are built on flat land, different from the cities built with loess, our cities are almost all made of stones, very strong, and the water source and food reserves in the city are very sufficient, even if they are besieged with ten times the force, it is extremely difficult to capture. Yuan Taizuo himself is a famous general defending the city, and the Liaodong City is like a golden soup, but I am afraid that even if your Sui army has 500,000 people, it will not be easy to capture Liaodong City in one fell swoop. ”

"Liaodong does not have such a developed water transport as your Grand Sui Grand Canal, there are not even roads on land, the rain in April, there are muddy swamps everywhere, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch, there are too many people in your Sui army, when the time comes, there will be huge difficulties in logistics, if you can't capture the entire Liaodong in a year, the logistics will be poor, and the army's heart will be shaken, and when the army of the king of Goguryeo will rush to the aid of the mainland, and Yuan Taizuo should be combined with the outside, even if you have a million soldiers, you can also break it overnight!"

Wang Shichong listened and listened, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, this result is very likely to appear, and it is also the last thing he wants to see, once Yang Guang buries all the millions of troops in Liaodong, and even he himself dies here, then the country is bound to be in chaos, and all the clans and Guanlong nobles will definitely take the opportunity to stand on their own, which is definitely not his own blessing! ……
