Chapter 399: Secret Discussion (1)

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people in the tent changed, and the generals began to talk excitedly, their eyes were shining, and the strategists who joined the army bowed their heads one by one and were silent, savoring the tactics that Zhou Luohu said.

Feng Lun stood up again and arched his hand: "Marshal Zhou, our army has been ordered by Gao Servant and King Han, and the target of the attack after crossing the sea is Pyongyang, if the attack fails, it will be encamped along the coastline and hold on to the main force of Goguryeo. ”

Zhou Luohu's face sank: "Feng joined the army, the so-called generals are outside, the king's order is not subject to it, not to mention the high servant shooting, since I am in charge of the whole army, I have to be responsible for the lives of more than 40,000 soldiers and 20,000 sailors in the whole army, just now Wang joined the army and said it is reasonable, desperate to attack Pyongyang, it is a life-fighting move to gamble with everyone's lives, it is best to succeed, but once it fails, our army has no food and grass inside, there is a strong enemy outside, and under the strong city, even the reinforcements cannot be counted, either all of them starve to death, or they are driven to the sea to feed the fish."

After thinking about it, if there is a chance, he will attack Pyongyang, and if he doesn't have a chance, he will attack Dongbikhu, an important town in the south of Goguryeo, and open up a connection with Baekje. Gao Fu's purpose was to contain the enemy's main force and create an opportunity for the Liaodong army.

However, if our army captures Dongbihu and gains a long-term foothold in the south of Goguryeo, it can achieve the same or even better effect, as long as it controls the line from Maizhaohu (present-day Incheon Port in South Korea) on the west bank of Goguryeo to Dongbikuseong, then our Dasui reinforcements can come from the sea in a steady stream. After settling down at the southern station of Goguryeo. It is possible to attack Pyongyang at any time. Even attacking Baekje and Silla to the south was an option. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed coldly, he stepped out of class, and arched his hand at Zhou Luohu: "Marshal Zhou, there will be a word in the end, and I still want to discuss with the marshal alone." ”

Zhou Luohu's eyebrows moved: "Wang joins the army, today is a military meeting, if you have any opinions to express in public." There is no need to discuss it privately. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Don't hide it from the marshal, the last general is under the secret order of high servant shooting, and Marshal Zhou is better to communicate with the last general alone." ”

Zhou Luohu pondered for a while, and said to the strategists and generals on the left and right: "Wait for the time being, retreat first, I will discuss with Wang Senjun first, and you can also think about the tactics that this commander just mentioned, and then express yourself tomorrow." ”

Everyone saluted and retreated, Feng Lun glanced at Wang Shichong unwillingly, and walked out of the big tent stupidly.

Only Zhou Luohu and a few personal soldiers were left in the tent, and Wang Shichong glanced at the guards. Zhou Luohu understood and waved his hand to those people. These people also bowed and retreated, and after everyone walked out, Zhou Luohu said in a deep voice to Wang Shichong: "Wang joins the army, what secret orders do you have, you can take it out now." ”

Wang Shichong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The last general thinks that although Marshal Zhou's plan is good, there is no room for maneuver, if you really want to use this style of play, you shouldn't say it now, if you don't give up this idea quickly, I'm afraid that if you can't wait for the division, you will be taken down." ”

Zhou Luohu's face sank, and his angry face appeared: "The king joined the army, and there was no joke in the army, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Marshal Zhou, if you are the king of Han, then the emperor will definitely appreciate your style of play, but you were born in Nanchen back then, and this time you were in charge of the army alone, but you violated the military orders of Gao Servant and His Royal Highness the King of Han, and gave up attacking Pyongyang, but instead attacked Khubi Dongcheng in the south, which will inevitably make people criticize, saying that you want to lead an army by yourself and set yourself up as king in a foreign land." ”

Zhou Luohu took the case and said angrily: "I, Zhou Luohu, am dedicated to the country, and I can learn from it every day, which bastard dares to reverse right and wrong like this, the emperor is sage, and the high servant is also a virtuous minister, and he will never be shaken by such shameless rumors!" Several soldiers outside the tent heard Zhou Luohu's roar and ran up the tent, Zhou Luohu yelled, "Did Ben Shuai let you in?" It's not out yet!" The men bowed their heads and retreated.

Wang Shichong sneered: "General Zhou, any king's trust in the general is relative, you said that your loyalty can be to the sun and the moon, why don't you think about Yu Qingze Yu Zhuguo, he is still an old minister who has followed the emperor since the establishment of the Great Sui, and he is not unjustly killed in the process of leading the army to quell the rebellion!"

This sentence stabbed Zhou Luohu's heart at once, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he sat back in his seat, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "No, I am different from Yu Qing, a lot of evidence of rebellion has been found in his home, and he also privately gathers dead people and plots against him." ”

Wang Shichong lowered his voice and said: "Yu Qing was reported by his brother-in-law, the family thief is difficult to prevent, this person took advantage of General Yu's outgoing war to do something at home, how can outsiders know about it, the emperor did not give General Yu any chance to plead his case, and directly recalled him and killed him, this is clearly the heart to get rid of him, the so-called evidence, the dead soldiers, are just excuses, if you want to talk about private soldiers, which court general does not have a few dozen or hundreds of personal soldiers?" It's Marshal Zhou, and those people outside your tent are also your dead soldiers. ”

Zhou Luohu's head began to sweat: "No, my Emperor of the Great Sui is not Chen Shubao of Nanchen, he will not unjustly kill the general." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "General Zhou, the emperor himself has also taken the world of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and ascended to the throne, how can he tolerate courtiers who act against his orders?" He can tolerate the mistakes of his courtiers, but he will never tolerate the dissent of his courtiers.

Your style of play is really powerful, but you didn't tell the emperor in advance, and you didn't discuss it with Gao Servant and King Han, and suddenly announced it on the eve of the army's expedition, which will inevitably make the unscrupulous people move their minds.

I don't know if General Lu Daozhou can still remember that when Gao Servant led the army to destroy Nan Chen, there were villains around the emperor who slandered him, saying that Gao Servant wanted to take the opportunity to stand on his own feet in Nan Chen, and the emperor did not immediately kill this villain who entered the slander, but only put him in prison and imprisoned him, even after Gao Servant led the army to triumph, he only exiled the slanderer, it can be seen that deep in the emperor's heart, there are still some precautions and fears for the generals who support the army, even if Gao Servant shoots such a dedicated Zaifu for the country, he can't get his unreserved trust.

Marshal Zhou, you had the name of loyalty and righteousness when you were in Nan Chen, but as soon as Nan Chen was destroyed, you still entered my Great Sui, for so many years, the late general of Nan Chen has never had the opportunity to take charge of the army alone, General Xiao Maha has been serving under the command of the King of Han, this time he went to the army of Liaodong, he did not get the position of the main general of the army, but can only serve as Wang Shiji's deputy.

A while ago, General Zhou Fashang Zhou went to Lingnan as Wang Shiji's vanguard, and General Zhou Fashang also acted without authorization, regardless of Wang Shiji's army, he quelled the rebellion in Guizhou with a lone vanguard army, do you really think that Zhou Fashang's approach, the emperor and Gao Servant will appreciate it? ”

Zhou Luohu heard the sweat on his forehead, and he frowned: "Wang joins the army, this tactic is what I have been thinking about, the reason why I put it forward today is to hide people's eyes, only if even our army thinks that the purpose of our army is Pyongyang, it is possible to deceive the enemy, and the action is more realistic, so I have not explained my plan to the high servant and the emperor, just for fear of leaking the news, but you say this, it is indeed that I am not thoughtful, is there any way to remedy it now?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Marshal Zhou, if you really want to use this tactic, you shouldn't say it here today, but give an order after going to sea, and then give an order, at that time, even if someone wants to sue, it will be too late." Now there are less than ten days left before you go to sea, and so many people have heard your plan, and there must be people with bad intentions looking for an opportunity to tell the truth. If you don't believe me, you might as well send someone to monitor the barracks today, and someone will definitely go out to report it. ”

Zhou Luohu shook his head in disbelief: "No, most of the generals in the army are old subordinates when I was in Nanchen, and they shouldn't betray me." ”

A sly smile flashed on Wang Shichong's face: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and the people in the account just now are not all your subordinates back then." (To be continued......)
