Chapter 207: Fighting the Country
"What the deputy marshal said is good, and it can be seen from this plan that the Goguryeo people have indeed not received the information that Buyeo Yuan Taigu has been defeated and captured. Moreover, when the Secret Service Division got this information, it was already violent, so Goguryeo's future battle plan would definitely change. ”
Chen Kefu sat on the head and said calmly, "However, this battle plan that was exchanged for the lives of more than a dozen brothers..., for us, is still valuable!" Judging from this information, we can easily know the combat forces that the Liao people may gather in the future, as well as their future commanders of soldiers and horses. Yu Qinming, the Chinese army marching Sima, also took the initiative at this time, "The marshal is right, from this plan... Judging from it, the mobilization time of the Liao people is very short, and they will go north in two months. And the force will be a staggering 150,000 troops, instead of the 50,000 or 60,000 we had predicted. And the people who commanded the army were Yizhi Wende, Gao Jianwu, and Yuan Jingshui. These three people don't need me to say, everyone knows that these are all first-class generals in the Goguryeo Kingdom, if it is true that 150,000 soldiers and horses go north, then it must be a frontal tough battle, a vicious battle.1 "Lu Shi hated the Tao deeply" Yu Sima does not have to destroy his own prestige and grow the ambition of others. Although Yizhi and Gao Jianwu are very famous, Yu Sima should not forget that they are all defeated under our commander. Yizhi with 80,000 cavalry can't stop my handsome 1,000 heavy cavalry, Gao Jianwu sits on the strong city of Liaodong, and in the end, he was not beaten by the marshal and abandoned the city and fled? In the end, they were forced to jump into the river and escape, so these two people are just a waste of fame in my old Lu's opinion. As for what Yuan Pure Water, not to mention, we haven't even heard his name, isn't his eldest brother still known as a general comparable to Yizhi and Gao Jianwu? His second brother Yuan Pure Land and uncle Yuan Gaitong are also called generals, aren't they all in our prisoner camp now? As soon as Lu Shishen's words fell, the entire military hall laughed, yes, no matter how powerful the Liao people are, aren't they all defeated generals? At the beginning, they could jump into the river with so few troops, but now the soldiers and horses in Liaodong City have increased several times, and there will be nothing to fear at that time.
Even Li Jie smiled at this time and said, "This plan of the Goguryeo people is a perfect paper talk, mobilizing 150,000 people to fight north in two months." Now all the west of the sorghum water has fallen into my hands, and the Liaoshui line has been swept away by us, and more than 100 large and small mountain cities have now become empty cities. The 150,000 Goguryeo army went north to fight, even if it set out from the two cities of China and Wugu and arrived here, it was hundreds of miles away. Along the way, what about their logistics? What about grain and grass? How will it be supplied? The army of 150,000 is going to fight nearly thousands of miles away, so the supply of grain and grass for this logistics must also be transported by more than 50,000 people. And the most important thing is that after the Goguryeo people lost the fortresses of Liaodong, Xincheng, and Buyeo, more than half of the war reserves of the entire Goguryeo were also lost to our army. I don't think that there are still so many supplies, grain and grass in Goguryeo to support them to fight such a big war in such a short period of time. Mao Xi nodded and said, "Li Changshi is right, Goguryeo's entire war plan is based on the fact that the cities of Baiyan, Anshi, Jinshan, Gaimu, and Buyeo have not been lost. If only Liaodong and Xincheng were lost, then the Goguryeo people's combat logistics would be able to rely on the big cities along the Liaohe River to ensure supplies. But now that the line of the Great Liao River is completely lost, and the Goguryeo people have no grain and grass, it is empty talk to want to go north, and if they wait for them to raise grain and grass, then two months is absolutely not enough. …,
Mao Xi calmly analyzed that although he had lived in seclusion for many years, he was already an important minister of the Southern Dynasty more than 20 years ago, and he still retained a sharp strategic vision, and he could see at a glance that this plan was unrealistic.
For the analysis of several bigwigs in the army, the more than 300 generals sitting below are very relaxed, after all, the weaker the Liao people, the safer they are, and it is even possible to break the Liao people in the future and make contributions.
Looking at the relaxed generals, Chen Kefu sighed slightly, these generals still lack the consideration of a general. Now they are fighting one army against one country, how can it be so simple.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have the opposite opinion. The current Wuche intelligence shows that after the loss of the Liaohe defense line, all the strategic advantages of the whole of Goguryeo have been exhausted.
The land of Goguryeo, a Middle Goguryeo to the west of the Yalu River, has been violently under our iron hooves. Not only did they lose their territory, but more importantly, they also lost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, nearly 700,000 people, and more than half of the war reserves of the entire Goguryeo. It can be said that the current Goguryeo is almost exhausted, even if we occupy the first line of the Liao River, we will never fight them in the future, and in a few years, Goguryeo will inevitably weaken. 、,,
"Such a big country in Liaodong, do you think they will accept such a fate? The more critical it is, the greater the reaction of the Goguryeo people. When the dog is in a hurry, he will jump off the wall, just like Gao Jianwu will jump into the river when he is forced to be in a hurry. When the whole of Goguryeo has no way to retreat, there is no doubt that it will inevitably fight to the death. Therefore, when the Goguryeo court learned that Yuan Tai was defeated and captured, and that all the Liao River lines were lost, I am sure that they would not be able to wait for two months to go north again. It is very likely that within a month, the Goguryeo people will inevitably come to war! ”
Chen Kefu's judgment shocked everyone at once, and they even couldn't believe it.
"However, however, when more than 100,000 troops are mobilized, the amount of grain and grass needed is also massive, how can you fight without grain and grass? Moreover, they can mobilize only 50,000 trained soldiers, and the other 100,000 are civilians and slaves, all of whom are still untrained. Chen Kefu shook his head and said, "There is nothing impossible, Goguryeo is going to be wiped out, and at this time it must be a full fight." Don't forget, Goguryeo has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, Pyongyang, Seoul, Wugu, and the four cities in China have nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Beisha City and Jian'an City have 30,000 soldiers and horses, which are all real regular army of the kingdom, and the southern nobles of Goguryeo also have at least 20,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. In the face of such a ruin, do you think the Goguryeo people will still have reservations? ”
Yu Qinming nodded, and said with a somewhat ugly face, "Things must be reversed, and the truth will indeed be as the big man said." If we just occupy Liaodong and Xincheng. Then the Goguryeo people will definitely come step by step. But now that we have suddenly completely swept away the entire line of the Liao River, annihilated more than 100,000 of its troops, and captured one-fifth of the population of its country, the Goguryeo people will inevitably have trouble sleeping.
At this time, if the Great Sui sent a large army from the Central Plains to the east and took the opportunity to fully occupy the line of the Liaohe River, then Goguryeo would really be destroyed. The kingdom is going to die, and they will definitely fight. If you do all the soldiers and horses in the country and fight with us, if you win, you can successfully recapture the first line of the Liao River, and then Goguryeo can continue. If the war is defeated, it will only be a few days before the country is destroyed. When he said this, everyone's expressions became solemn. If Goguryeo really poured the country into battle, then it would really be a real army of hundreds of thousands. Although in Liaodong, they defeated the Goguryeo people one after another, but they were all ambushes, fighting more and fighting less, and they encountered more than 100,000 people head-on, and they really had no bottom.
Chen Kefu looked at the reactions of the generals, and he felt that the Liao people were not good, and they were blindly optimistic one by one.
Now they suddenly felt that the Liao people would pour the country north to fight, and they were all blindly pessimistic.
If this continues, then the army will definitely be passive in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Liao people are in a hurry to fight, why are we afraid? Even if the Liao people really go north, it will take at least a month. There's not a lot we can do in this month. Let's talk about it, how do we prepare to meet the enemy? ”
A group of generals began to desperately make suggestions to discuss how to deal with the Liao army.
"Great Marshal, the top priority should be to immediately inform Your Majesty of the situation here, and ask Your Majesty to send a large army to reinforce you. If the army arrives, then we will be able to fight a big battle with the Goguryeo people who have come from afar in Liaodong City. It is even possible to directly defeat the Liao army and level Goguryeo from then on. If it is the worst of all, you should also ask Your Majesty to send a naval division to the east of the sea and directly force Pyongyang.
In this way, it will be able to restrain many Goguryeo people from pouring out. Li Jie proposed.
Li Benlei said, "Li Changshi's proposal is good, but we can't sit back and wait for His Majesty's reinforcements. If the Goguryeo people can really go north in a month, then His Majesty's reinforcements may not be able to catch up. As long as the soldiers and horses are trained, then we also have 130,000 soldiers and horses, which is not much less than the Liao people, and we have a strong city to defend, so we will not be afraid of the Liao dogs. ”
"Dashuai, why don't we talk to Goguryeo first?" Mauber said suddenly.
"Peace talks?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, they were all generals, and they were all thinking about the battlefield, swords and swords, and the one with a big fist was the boss.
Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Mao Xi explained, "Now we occupy Liaodong, Xincheng and other fortified cities, with food, equipment, soldiers and horses, the only thing missing is time. Lord Huang also said that now the eastern capital is in danger, and His Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government have gone south to relieve the siege. Then, it is impossible for the imperial court to send reinforcements north to support us in a short period of time. And although we now have 130,000 soldiers and horses, not only are 40,000 of them ready to be drafted now, but even those 80,000 are still most of them new recruits who have just joined the army.
Our soldiers and horses lack time to train, as long as there is time to train, even if it is two or three months, then these more than 100,000 people can fight against the Liao. ”
