In the middle of the night, three watches, Wang Shichong stayed in his tent, lying on a simple marching bed, which he entrusted to a skilled craftsman, according to his own rocking chair in the garden, which could be disassembled separately and assembled after arriving at the destination, the two arc-shaped chassis were put on the best Persian carpet, so that he could not only shake gently, but also not feel the cold on the ground.

In the brazier in the tent, "crackling" is burning, making people warm, although it is still much worse than Yang Guang's imperial tent, but with the more than 20 people in the military camp outside around a small pot of charcoal, shivering, it is already much better, as a member of the third grade, a tiger Ben Lang general of the fourth grade, Wang Shichong can naturally enjoy such treatment.

Wei Zheng wore a leather armor that looked a little wide, standing solemnly beside Wang Shichong, after dealing with the affairs of Jiangdu, he quickly rushed to Zhuo County to meet Wang Shichong, and only after arriving in Zhuo County did he meet with Wang Shichong who stayed in the local area to meet his men, and learned that his lord went to Liaodong with him, so he chased all the way, and finally met Wang Shichong the night before yesterday, and today's idea of building a pontoon bridge is also proficient in various ancient and modern war examples, the idea provided by Wei Zheng, who crosses the river and tactics, is refined by Wang Shichong, After sorting out, it was proposed to Yu Wenkai and Mai Tiezhu.

Wang Shichong's eyes were still slightly closed, outside this seemingly inconspicuous camp tent, there were more than 300 personal guards he absolutely trusted, there were open posts and secret posts, and it was impossible for anyone to get within a hundred steps of this camp, even if Yang Guang came in person, the people outside would report in time, and they were here. He can unscrupulously discuss all kinds of rebellion with Wei Zheng. And don't worry about the partition wall having ears.

Wei Zheng's expression was very serious. sighed: "Lord, in fact, I really don't agree with your approach this time, why do you want to teach Yu Wenkai and Mai Tie Staff this method of forcible crossing?" They are not all the way with us, especially the Iron Rod, who has always refused to stand on the side of the Lord, and I suspect that he will become a great obstacle to us in the future. ”

Wang Shichong still closed his eyes, smiled and shook his head: "No." Xuan Cheng, you are too worried, if Mai Tiezhu wanted to report me, he would have reported it a long time ago, and he would not wait until now, he was actually more inclined to believe what I told him about the chaos in the world, and he always wanted to find a way back for himself, but this time Yang Guang made him a pioneer officer, which surprised everyone, and Mai Tiezhu was also grateful. Wanted to die as a retribution, so for him. We can't suppress him, we still have to create some opportunities for him. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "But the lord just let him fight across the Liao River and win the first prize, is this really good?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "How can this Liao River be so easy to fight?" It's really true that the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side are those wine bags and rice bags of Nan Chen! According to my observations these days, the camp of Goguryeo is heavily guarded, and the five elements of the art of war are secretly combined between the camps, and Qimen Dunjia, it can be seen that there must be a famous general in charge. ”

"Also, and the shooting range above those high post arrow towers is extremely open, once the Sui army crosses the river, it will shoot at the covering ground arrow rain, not to mention the forced crossing, it would be good to throw the pontoon bridge in the water, if you don't die tens of thousands of people, fill half of the Liao River with corpses, how can you rush through?!"

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth hooked: "So, does the lord want to let Mai Tiecane lose all the strength at hand in this big defeat?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, Mai Tiecane's subordinates are all elite, if these three armies are in his hands, then after he crosses the Liaohe River, it is really possible to hit the Liaodong city in one go, Goguryeo's main force in Liaodong is all here, if he is beaten too hard, he may not even be able to defend the city, so I need to borrow the hands of the Goguryeo people to frustrate the spirit of the Sui army." ”

Wei Zheng's brows softened a little: "So, the lord doesn't think they can cross the river?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "In the end, you can still fight it, but it will cost a lot of money, if the Goguryeo people realize that the Sui army will attack Liaodong at the expense of casualties this time, then they will retreat to the city and defend it, as long as the war can drag on for more than half a year, in the summer, it rains, the roads are muddy, and the epidemic is epidemic, and then Yang Guang wants to hold on, and it will be difficult to hold on." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "What about the sailors who came to Hu'er, that army is completely beyond our control, Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang are both famous generals, and Zhou Fashang let Laihu'er do everything, and it will not be like He Ruobi and Han Baohu fought for merit back then, so as to affect the chance of victory, after all, they have more than 100,000 elite troops, and it is not impossible to take Pyongyang in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The sailor has a long-distance attack, crossing the entire sea (Bohai Sea), and the wind and waves are limp along the way, which is to lose most of the combat effectiveness, especially the war horses, even after going ashore, it is difficult to fight, and the main troops who come to Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are the troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and the combat effectiveness is not too strong, and the core troops are one or two thousand veterans of Guanzhong, but these people are good at cavalry, as I just said, after a long sea route, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will drop to the point that it is impossible to fight, and the supply of military food can only last for a few months, Therefore, it is difficult for them to take Pyongyang in one go. ”

"What's more, I have already given a warning to the Goguryeo people through Ulji Wendeok, they even transferred the cavalry of the northern Fusa to the front line of Pyongyang, and there are more than 100,000 Goguryeo defenders near Pyongyang, and they have the upper hand in numbers, plus the home battle, the right time and place and people are on their side, I think that since the king of Goguryeo has such powerful subordinates as Ulji Wende and Yuan Taizuo, the commanders in Pyongyang will not be too bad, and they will never repeat the tragedy of Chen Shubao's self-disturbing army morale and self-destruction of the Great Wall."

Wei Zheng nodded: "So, will the troops of Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang be wiped out?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and sat up straight from the recliner: "No, these two are famous generals, even if they are defeated, they will camp on the beach line, after all, there are many generals under them, and it is unrealistic for the Goguryeo people to eat them in one bite, I estimate that the final result is that the two sides will camp and confront, and no one can win quickly, and then it depends on the results of the battle here in Liaodong." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness: "What about Liaodong?" Will Yang Guang go all out after breaking through the Liao River and take Liaodong City directly? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "If Yuan Taizuo can lose the entire Liaodong in a battle, don't be this eastern mattress, if he has no follow-up moves, how can he easily raise troops to defend the front line of the Liaohe River?!" (To be continued......)
