Chapter 155: Supporting the Troops and Respecting Themselves
On the battlefield, using the enemy to take turns to train troops in actual combat, it is estimated that this is what Chen Kefu can think, this is such a thing.
For Chen Kefu, elite soldiers are what he wants, and the number is also what he wants. If there are elite soldiers alone, but the number is too small, it will not be able to compete for the world. But if there are only numbers, even if there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers, it will be difficult to compete with those heroes for the world.
The soldiers and horses of Buyeo and other cities in the northeast can be said to have been swept away by him after this battle.
Although the Liao people came unexpectedly this time, after the battle, there was also an unexpected gain, that is, in Liaodong of Goguryeo, all the defense forces were lost all of a sudden.
Yuan Taidi sent troops this time among the ten small cities in the vicinity, leaving less than 10,000 infantry to defend. All the rest of the soldiers and horses were taken away by him, and even the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Yuan clan were also brought to the Jinshan Gorge, and the other races were not much better. Not only did the various ethnic groups not have many sī soldiers, but even the young and strong men of the various ethnic groups were all pulled to the Jinshan Gorge and were wiped out by Chen Kefu.
At present, the entire upper reaches of the Liao River are empty, basically like a woman who has stripped off her clothes and lies on the chuáng, just waiting for the Sui army to take possession of her.
A few days ago, after the battle, the soldiers were too tired, and because of the heavy rain, Chen Kefu dragged the remnants of the remnants who did not finally attack Yuan Taidi. But now, the weather is better, the ground is no longer muddy, and the soldiers of the Sui army are full of energy again after a few days of rest.
For Chen Kefu, it is also time to sweep the tail, as long as Yuan Taifu is done, he can take the opportunity to send troops to the northeast and sweep away Fuyu, Gaimu, Jinshan and other cities. Collect all the grain and grass reserves in the cities, and capture all the young and strong people in the cities. At that time, after sweeping the cities, he took a large number of troops to Liaodong City and stepped up the time to train the soldiers, "He is confident that he can completely block the northward attack of the Liao."
Just as Li Jie once guessed, the Liao people played against the Sui army at the beginning, and he could also play, after sweeping the mountain cities on the first line of the Liao River. At that time, whether it is Yizhi Wende or Gao Jianwu, there will be no food supplements, and when the time comes, if you want to pull a strong man, you will not have another chance.
Shi Yi's long skills are used to control Yi, and his way is to return to his body, Chen Kefu is called learning and selling.
He wasn't worried about Yuan Taidi, he refused to surrender now, but as long as he let the whole army turn him around, he might not be able to hold it at that time. At that time, Chen Kefu will exchange prisoners with him again, and he may be willing to surrender. After all, if you can live, no one wants to die or even steal life, let alone the unspeakably expensive Yuan Taidi in Goguryeo. He was reluctant to surrender, "but he was worried that the outcome would be miserable after surrendering, but if Chen Kefu promised that he would exchange them for Sui prisoners of war, it is estimated that this person would not hold on any longer."
Chen Kefu had no interest in seeing the Sui army's rotation and battle, and returned to the tent with his guards.
got rid of Yuan Taidi, and also said that Chen Kefu finally didn't have to sleep all night, and there were no soldiers and horses in Liaodong. If Goguryeo wants to counterattack Liaodong City, it is unlikely that it will be possible in a short time. If you want to attack Liaodong City, you can't do it without about 100,000 troops.
Liaodong City has high walls and sufficient supplies, so there is no need to worry about besieging the city. Only by breaking the city can Liaodong City be captured, and if you want to break the city, it is basically impossible to break through a fortified city defended by an army of 80,000 people according to the conventional practice of attacking and defending with seven to one.
At the beginning, Yang Fang attacked Liaodong City, which was defended by Gao Jianwu's 100,000 people, but he mobilized an army of 450,000 troops, not including more than 200,000 auxiliary soldiers and 340,000 people. That's it, Yang Guang also spent more than a month fighting hard to exhaust the defenders of Liaodong City.
Now for Chen Kefu, he has gained a foothold in Liaodong, and the next thing is to think about how to take root. Just taking Liaodong City and sitting in the city waiting for Yang Guang to bring troops to conquer Liao next year is not what he Chen Kefu wants.
Looking at Shu with a long hand, now that he Chen Kefu has stood on his feet, he naturally thinks more. Of course, it is more important to be able to form a balance of power with the Liao people, and everyone can divide the land and rule. When he just stayed, too much pressure and ideals were on his shoulders, and since Yang Guang retired from the army, Chen Kefu really didn't sleep peacefully.
Every day, I dreamed about how to conquer Liaodong City, how to survive the siege of the Goguryeo people, and even thought about how to grasp the hearts of the soldiers. How to guard against people like Li Jie, every moment, my heart is full of calculations, too tired. ,
Now I suddenly feel as if the pressure on my body is gone, and I no longer worry that Liao people will rush into the city when I sleep until midnight. From now on, it will be difficult for the Goguryeo people to gather their men and horses to go north again, especially when the forces in the northwest of Goguryeo are completely swept away.
"Prepare study utensils for me, I will report to Your Majesty!" Chen Kefu sat in the tent, turned to Zhang Jindao at the account entrance, Chen Kefu planned to personally report to Yang Guang, of course, it was not the result of the Jinshan Canyon battle this time.
The seal he wants to write is to report the record of capturing Liaodong City. When he captured Liaodong City that day, he did not report it to Yang Guang.
It's not that he forgot, how could such an important thing be forgotten, it's completely that he didn't write it.
When the city of Liaodong was captured that day, it was not a few days before Yang Guang's army withdrew, and perhaps the army had not yet reached Huaihua Town on the west side of the Liao River.
He was worried that if Yang Guangyi heard that Liaodong City had been defeated, he would move for a while, and he would transfer a team of men and horses to defend Liaodong City with him, it would be troublesome. No matter who is transferred, the people sent by Yang Guang must also be of no low rank, and he is a general who has been continuously promoted in the line of fire, and he is no match for those senior generals who have deep roots in the DPRK.
It's okay when he is by Yang Guang's side, after all, he is Yang Guang's favorite general, the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and others are not happy to see him, and he just secretly puts eye drops or something. It is too obvious that Bu Er can do it, after all, it is hot, and Chen Kefu went directly to Yang Guang to complain when he arrived.
But if a big man is sent to stay behind at that time, he will have the final say, or will that person have the final say? At that time, he only had 10,000 people in the barracks, and if Yang Guang knew that he had captured Liaodong City and really sent troops and horses to stay behind, the number would definitely not be less, and 30,000 or 50,000 people would not be less. At that time, whoever has the biggest fist will speak, and he, a new general, will definitely not be able to overpower an old general.
Even if he has good means and does not fall behind, his idea of using Liaodong City as the foundation and taking advantage of the situation to develop his strength is estimated to be stillborn. After all, there is such a big general, everything has to be controlled, such as the expansion of the army he is engaged in now, this change of military system, and the establishment of military ranks, if there is still a powerful general in Liaodong who holds military power, how can he do this step.
If he doesn't get it right, he will be like that Li Jie, and he will be set aside. After all, Li Jie is a good example, he was able to stand up to Li Jie at the beginning, because he had soldiers, and Li Jie only brought a few generals. And if a general with tens of thousands of soldiers comes, Chen Kefu, who only has 10,000 soldiers, is estimated to have to fight soy sauce.
Of course, he didn't want this to happen, so after he conquered Liaodong City, he kept pressing and didn't report it to Yang Guang. Anyway, this matter will be shirked at that time, and it will be said that the situation in Liaodong is unstable now, and it will be said in the past.
Now, almost half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and there is no need to delay it any longer.
According to his calculations, Yang Guang is now estimated to have passed through Beiping County and arrived in Zhuo County.
And now he began to write a recital to Yang Guang, plus the time along the way, it was estimated that it would take half a month for his messenger to see Yang Guang. It is estimated that Yang Guangdu will have returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital. At that point, things will definitely not be the same as before.
When Yang Guang was still in western Liaoning, he could send a group of men and horses back at any time, after all, there were many troops around him. And when they arrive in Luoyang, the eastern capital, all troops and horses will definitely be sent down to quell the chaos. This soldier and horse are easy to disperse and not easy to knot, and once they are scattered, it is not so easy to transfer another army and horse north to Liaodong. came and went, and when Yang Guang wanted to transfer troops and horses, it was September that day, and then the entire Liaodong was in the rainy season, and even the Liaohe River would rise sharply, and it was no longer suitable for soldiers and horses to march.
And even if Yang Guang plans to send a group of soldiers and horses from Hebei or Liaoxi to Liaodong, it is estimated that he will get September when his order arrives, and it is estimated that it will be dry moon when he really arrives in Liaodong. At that time, he Chen Kefu had 80,000 soldiers and horses, although it was not a strong army, but at least it could be regarded as a large army that could fight.
There are 80,000 soldiers in his hands, and they are in Liaodong, where the emperor is far away from this mountain, and that is not what he Chen Kefu said. No matter who comes, it is the dragon, he has to coil, it is the tiger, he has to lie down.
Chen Kefu has always believed in a sentence that in the face of absolute strength, all yīn schemes are pale.
Now that the world is in chaos, Yang Guang can't even solve the matter in front of his house, let alone take care of him. As long as he obeys Yang Guang's orders as usual and expands his territory for Yang Guang's great cause, it is estimated that Yang Guang will not care too much about some minor problems.
In troubled times, the grass is the king, and the martial arts are the country. Since he Chen Kefu came to the Great Sui Dynasty as soon as he crossed over, came to this troubled era, and possessed a soldier, he was destined to become a martial artist in power.
Liaodong can only be his Liaodong alone, even if it will be Yang Guang's Liaodong now, but it can only be led by him! On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! If Li Jieyi can't be of the same heart with him, he will sooner or later set them up and isolate them! Even if there is another one, it will never escape the same fate as Li Jie!
