……

On June 25, the second year of Chengtian, Wu Fan led his troops to attack Quanzhou Island, and destroyed Gao Zhizhi, the source of the Great Restoration Uprising of Southern Liang, and Wang Guoqing, the largest rebel leader in Jian'an County.

It's the same day.

Youzhou in the north was preparing to crusade against Yang Kuan, the son of heaven of Goguryeo, and finally moved.

Yang Kui divided the more than 1.1 million land soldiers and horses raised to Zhuo County into the left and right 12 road armies. Then he ordered the First Army to set out, and then sent one army every day, with a distance of forty miles between the front and back, and did not set off until July 5. The armies were connected from head to end, the drums and horns were heard from each other, and the flags were connected for 960 miles. His imperial camp set out at last, and it stretched for another eighty miles.

It is no wonder that the ministers who accompanied the army did not worry about failure, and it was said that this was "the prosperity of teachers in ancient times, and there was no such thing".

The ministers are not worried about failure, but Yang Kuan is worried about ...... Not failing.

From last year's successive attacks on Annam, Tibet, and Turks, to this year's battle against Goguryeo with the strength of the whole country, Yang Kuang did not think of anything like expanding the territory and opening up the territory, unparalleled martial arts, etc., he had only one purpose - to use the war to gradually weaken the military power held by other forces except the Heavenly Imperial Family, and lay a solid foundation for his son Yang Yi to succeed.

Seeing the noisy carriages and horses outside the royal car, and the display of flags, Yang Kui kept rubbing his sore and tired eyebrows.

Yang Kui sometimes feels ridiculous, because generals and others from ancient times to the present have racked their brains to win a big battle, but he has racked his brains to think about how to fight a big defeat. Even more ironic. He couldn't think of a wonderful way to do it by himself, and he always secretly sighed that Wu Fan, who made this plan, was not around.

Yang Kui was extremely helpless. The comparison of the strength of the Great Sui and Goguryeo is too different.

More than 1.1 million troops drawn by Yang Kui. Not counting the 200,000 sailors who hoarded Donglai in Qingzhou, they were just land soldiers and horses. If he wanted to, he could still get more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers from Zhaozhou and Yanzhou in the north when he had already ordered Luo Yi's 200,000 soldiers and horses to be exhausted, and expand the total number to the number of 2 million that was really close to being advocated.

Before Yang Kui ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, as an outstanding general, he had experienced and done 20,000 wars in the past, and dared to say that he had 50,000 or 100,000 people; There are obviously 50,000 people, but they dare to say that they have 200,000 or 300,000 exaggerated things. This time he didn't dare to go too far. Only "slightly" falsely reported, for fear of scaring Goguryeo. Otherwise, it is falsely claimed to be an army of five million or something, which is comparable to the total population of Goguryeo.

There are about 5 million talents in Goguryeo, how many elite soldiers can be taken out? Remove the people over the age of forty-five, remove the people under the age of fifteen, remove the women who are disabled and sick, and remove the women, even if all the people who remain are armed, it will only be a few hundred thousand. But can you expect those honest villagers, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries to fight? Don't be funny! Therefore, they have less than 100,000 men and horses.

Goguryeo did not fight alone, and King Yingyang wittily used the Central Plains allusion "lips are dead and teeth are cold". It is said that with the help of some people of the northern nomads and the Yao, about 50,000 cavalry were obtained. As for the rest of those who were unwilling to help them, most of them were smashed by Wu Fan in the last year, and attacked the Turkic tent. The killing of 200,000 people was horrified.

On both sides of the war, a fraction of a dozen is two or three times more than the other's entire belongings, how to fight?

Yang Qi was distressed. He was afraid that if he moved his fingers slightly, Goguryeo would lie down.

"Majesty?"

Outside the Royal Driver. There was a voice.

Yang Qi opened his eyes slightly and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The chief eunuch Liu Zheming. Walked in carefully, presented a note with both hands, and put two talismans on the book, and said, "Wu Hu rode on the book." ”

"It seems that he has quelled the rebellion in Jing and Yangzhou!" , Yang Kui was in a lot of spirits, stretched out his hand to take the song and the talisman, and frowned at the same time: "This Wu Shouzheng!" When the battle is over, the talisman is about to be returned, and I'm afraid that I will suspect him? ”

On the side of the release rune, Yang Kui opened the song, swept his eyes, smiled, and sighed: "Tsk! God-given generals! What did he say? ", knocked on the wall of the car, and slapped his thigh: "'Ensure that the southern rebellion is quelled, so that His Majesty has no worries about conquering Goryeo'!" I didn't say it before the war, but it was very sharp, and I did what I said. Previously, some people were worried about questioning, saying that he had not been heard from for more than two months, and it was not an accident......"

Yang Qi was in a good mood, and he had few words for many days, so he muttered for a while.

Liu Zheming echoed: "Wu Hussar's reputation is not good, and his ability is indeed second to none. ”

Yang Kui's face changed: "What does it mean to have a bad reputation?" ”

Liu Zheming knelt down in panic and said intermittently: "The slave has a lot of mouths, it's just ...... It's just that...... There are many slanders in the family and nobles, and they are excluded like the nobles......"

Yang Kui looked ashamed and sighed: "Yes! Not to mention the family and noble factions, even the backer king doesn't want to see him! At the end, he added: "My fault! ”

Yang Kui lowered his head and continued to check the song.

Suddenly.

"Smack!"

Closing the sparseness.

"Dangdangdang......

Yang Kuan's fingers tapped lightly on the book, thinking deeply.

Long.

Yang Kui said: "The edict is going to reply to the letter, and the five words are 'accurate, and the evil is eliminated'." ”

Liu Zheming bowed down and said, "Oh! ”

……

……

Plant the seeds, bury the soil, and water the fertilizer...... Waiting for the blossoming and fruiting.

With the wind of last year's Son of Heaven draft, Wu Fan planted several seeds, including not only Yang Qi, but also Yuwen Chengxiang, Liaodong Wang Yang Jie, Tong Wei, and Yang Xuangan.

The seed named "Pan Qiaoyun" that Wu Fan planted next to Yang Xuangan blossomed and bore fruit.

Pan Qiaoyuntong guò Wu Fan's eyeliner arranged by the Yellow Gate Guard, and passed on an important piece of news - Yang Xuangan served as a grain supervisor in Liyang, and conquered the first checkpoint of the rear baggage transportation channel of Goguryeo for the empire. Liyang is located in the north of Silizhou and the south of Jizhou, which is an important place for the Great Sui to dispatch people and serve in the military, and for a time it was smokeless and barren. Yang Xuangan drank too much wine, and the literati got angry, and complained a lot, mostly about disgusted with the empire's conquest of Goguryeo.

After Wu Fan saw this information, he was immediately overjoyed, wrote a letter, and sent it to Luoyang Lan Xin'er by Xinying, and ordered Lan Xin'er to hype up the trap he had set in the book "Hundred Family Names", "Two Yangs, who is the longest", and said that Yang Xuangan had read and agreed with this book.

Wu Fan's calculations started as scheduled, of course, these things need time to ferment, and he has to wait patiently for now
