PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of book friends such as the Prancing Horse and the expedition, and I also want to write, my heart floats, Tu Chengwei, Tang Men Shao, and the father of the rich man.
The muscles on Yuan Taizuo's face jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "But the landing of the Sui army's naval army is just a legend, when General Ulzhi came, did you see the Sui army's army stepping on my Goguryeo territory?" ”
Eozhi Wende shook his head: "No, but I, Ezhi Wende, have my own information and intelligence sources, this news will not be wrong, the last time the Sui Dynasty conquered our Goguryeo, they sent 100,000 sailors from Laizhou, so this time they even have more than four times the size of the army last time, and 200,000 sailors, not to mention it." And now Baekje and Silla have also sent troops separately, pointing directly at the Kaesong area on the southern border of our country, which shows that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is serious this time, and he wants to destroy our Goguryeo! ”
Yuan Taizuo sighed: "General Yizhi, after you returned to China last year, you have been saying that the Sui Dynasty has been ready to attack our Goguryeo in an all-out way, at that time, almost no one believed your words inside and outside my Goguryeo Dynasty, no one believed that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty would be crazy to such a point, and in less than a year with 500,000 troops to the west, another army of one million came to attack me, but do you remember, at that time, among the five mattresses, only I, Yuan Taizuo, supported your judgment and believed that the Sui army would definitely send troops." ”
Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "General Yuan has been guarding Liaodong for many years, and he is very clear about the movements of the Sui army on the opposite side, so your knowledge will naturally be stronger than that of the other mattresses." Your mobilization and preparation here in Liaodong are the earliest and sufficient, precisely because of the king and me. All fully believe in your level of combat readiness. That's why the cavalry from the north was transferred to Pyongyang. First repel the attack of the Sui army's naval division, and when the capital is safe, it will naturally raise troops to rescue Liaodong. ”
Yuan Taizuo sneered: "The garrison of the royal capital is not less than 100,000 standing troops, not to mention that it can also transfer troops from the west and south, and if the headquarters is urgently mobilized, it can also arm another 100,000 troops within two months, and can use the 100,000 servant cavalry from Gao Tai in the north?" Eji Wende, it's okay for you to lie to others with what you say. With me, let's skip this set. ”
Yizhi Wende shook his head: "This is the king's decision, but it was not made by me Yizhi Wende, besides, you and that Gao Taichu have always been good enough to wear a pair of pants, but after eight worships, if he really thinks that you are more dangerous here, even if the king's order can not be accepted, he will come to help you directly, but after his own judgment." I still went to Wang Jing, you can't blame the king. Or my head. ”
Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth and said: "Adversity sees people's hearts, Gao Taichu really still retains his strength, and I have treated him as a brother for so many years in vain!" When he said hate, he punched the wooden railing of the watchtower, and this time the sawdust flew everywhere, and even the watchtower shook slightly.
Yizhi Wende laughed: "General Yuan, why bother? You see, I'm not alone with you. You can rest assured, although the Sui army seems to be a lot of people, but a group of lions and tigers are commanded by a sheep, so even if there are millions of people, don't worry too much! ”
Yuan Taizuo's heart moved: "General Yizhi, what do you mean by this?" Are you saying that Yang Guang is a sheep? I heard that he had conquered the state of Chen as the commander of the southern expedition, and also defeated the Turks in the western expedition, and after ascending the throne, he even commanded Tuyuhun and forced the Western Turks to submit, such a person is clearly very powerful, how can it be called a sheep? ! ”
Yizhi Wende shook his head: "Those battles are just Yang Guang's pretentiousness after the famous general, it can't be true, he followed Gao Ying when he destroyed Nan Chen, and Yang Su when he attacked the Turks in the north, and he didn't command on the spot, it was just a mixed military achievement." As for the extermination of Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun's combatable soldiers were only 30,000, and they were about to collapse at the first touch, but he took great pains to discharge an army of 500,000 and swaggered all the way through the market, not from a military point of view at all, but just to show his imperial prestige. ”
Speaking of this, Eulzhi Wende pointed to the Sui army camp on the other side and said with a smile: "General Yuan, do you think that if Yang Guang is really a qualified commander, he will line up a million troops like this and want to destroy my Goguryeo in one fell swoop?" As long as you have a little normal brain, and you know that the more soldiers you have, the better, too many soldiers will bring huge consumption, and it will have no effect, under normal circumstances, in the Liaodong Army, two or three hundred thousand, and the Navy Army will dispatch one hundred thousand, which is enough to seize the land of Liaodong, and sending a million troops will only drag the Sui Dynasty itself poor and collapsed! ”
Yuan Taizuo's expression softened slightly, and nodded: "What you said is also reasonable, according to my observation in the past few days, the camps of the Sui army are well defended and the morale is high, but they have not crossed the river, it seems to be waiting for something, at first I thought they were waiting for reinforcements from behind, as well as the arrival of siege equipment, but now it seems that it is not, they seem to be waiting for the arrival of Yang Guang himself!" ”
Yizhi Wende nodded: "Yes, General Yuan guessed correctly again, now these hundreds of thousands of Sui troops are waiting for Yang Guang to arrive here, this battle of Liaohe is not fought for military purposes, but these generals are just performing in front of their own emperors, just for show, General Yuan, this is just our opportunity!" ”
Yuan Taizuo's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What does this mean, General Yizhi, do you have any good information, tell me quickly." ”
Yizhi Wende said with a smile: "General Yuan, do you know that there is a hereditary group of military generals in this Sui Dynasty, most of which are mainly the descendants of the soldiers who rebelled in the six towns in Longyou, Guanzhong during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”
Yuan Taizuo nodded: "I still know some of these things, these Guanlong nobles have existed for hundreds of years, starting from the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Sui Dynasty, they are the basis of the military generals of this country, in fact, they are the same as our Goguryeo's hereditary mattresses, big brothers, and big brothers." You mean, these generals also have contradictions, and there is the possibility of competing for merit? ”
Yizhi Wende nodded: "According to my intelligence in the Sui Dynasty, as well as my own observation of the Sui Dynasty, the new emperor Yang Guang does not like these generals, he himself prefers those literati who recite poetry, so as soon as he ascends the throne, he moves the capital to Luoyang, the purpose is to get as far away from these military generals in Guanlong as possible." ”
Yuan Taizuo laughed: "General Yizhi, I understand what you mean, are you saying that these Guanlong generals finally had a performance, or a chance to make meritorious contributions, the last time in Tuyuhun, the other party's strength was too weak, Yang Guang himself didn't see any battles, but this time is different, they can show their bravery and toughness under the nose of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, right?" ”……
Thanks to the book friends who went out on the Prancing Horse, and also wanted to write, the heart floated, Tu Chengwei, Tang Men Shao, the father of the rich and other book friends for their monthly ticket support. (To be continued......)
