When Chen Kefu first came into contact with Chen Kefu before he crossed over, he was once used as a bad word.

But as he grew older, learned more about things, and learned more, Chen Kefu agreed with this sentence. Especially after the crossing, in the great era of this thousand years ago, I have a deep understanding of this sentence.

Putting aside all kinds of other factors, this sentence is definitely a wise saying, and it can even be said to be a policy for governing the country and the country, and an accurate summary of history, war, and statecraft.

History really systematically summed up and put on the table is the Han Dynasty famous minister Chao Cuo, this is the luck of history, the luck of the country, because this strategy was adopted by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kings, the sea was rough, and laid an important foundation for the decisive battle of the Xiongnu by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future.

This sentence is as big as national politics and as small as officialdom battles. Now Chen Kefu agrees with this sentence very much, in the land of Liaodong, if he wants to gain a foothold and obtain the foundation, then the first thing he has to do is not how to defeat the Goguryeo. It's how to straighten out the broken military camp from top to bottom, and a guy like Li Jie must definitely settle down first. I can't figure out Li Jie, what is the external attack on Goguryeo, what is the emperor's hegemony, what is the restoration of the Chen family, it's just a joke.

Seeing that all the generals had made their own choices, the corners of Chen Kefu's mouth turned up slightly, he just wanted to let those new army generals know that this Li Jie was just a hollowed out general in the broken barracks.

followed Li Jie, that is, he couldn't get along with him Chen Ke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have decided on our next steps, it is now time to discuss the concrete plan. Strategy is about knowing how to do it when there is nothing to do, and tactics is knowing how to do it when there is something to do. Now we just need to know how to do it when we have a chance" Everyone, starting from the beginning, let's first discuss the list of mountain towns that we are going to transfer from the mountain this time. ”

At this time, Chen Kefu couldn't help but miss the staff system in the army in later generations. Although there are also staff officers such as Changshi and Sima in the current army, these people are not real staff officers. In a situation like the present, if he had a staff headquarters,

He can completely negotiate a strategic plan with the generals, and then let a group of professional staff officers below make a specific tactical plan, or even make a one, two, or three plan for selection.

Chen Kefu shook his head, and now the army is also in charge, "The territory is also there, but there is really a feeling of a waste waiting to be rebuilt, all kinds of things that he used to just think about now finally have a chance to do." But he found that there were thousands of things to do, and he didn't have time at all.

After discussing for a long time, Chen Kefu and the general chose Baiyan City, Jinshan City, Gaimu City,

The five big cities of Anshi Castle and Buyeo are the targets, and there are nearly 80 large and small mountain fortresses in the vicinity. For Chen Kefu, the many cities that are surrounded by Liaodong City and the new city are like an iron bucket surrounding them, and if these cities are not leveled, they really can't sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, there were quite a lot of Goguryeo soldiers and civilians captured in the "Great War", and in the face of death and rewards after surrender, many people still chose to surrender. Even those messengers were willing to submit, and with these Goguryeo soldiers and civilians, after careful verification by the guards"

Chen Kefu and others also quickly had a general understanding of each city.

The four cities of Baiyan City, Jinshan City, Gaimupo, and Anshi City each have 5,000 troops and horses, most of them are infantry, and the population of each city is about 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the grain is about 100,000 stone. Buyeo City is a large city in the northeast of Goguryeo, with a population of nearly 60,000 "troops, 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 5,000 cavalry, and 500,000 stone of grain storage, which is completely the gateway fortress in the northwestmost of Goguryeo.

As for the rest of the small mountain towns near the cities with a circumference of two to three thousand steps, and those many mountain forts with a circumference of one to two thousand steps, there are more than a hundred. In the end, after Chen Kefu and others interrogated the troops of each city in detail, they directly took out the sixty mountain cities defended by soldiers and horses. This size

Sixty mountain towns, although they sound scary, are actually not many in terms of population and soldiers.

In normal times, the small mountain towns are like the small market towns in the Central Plains, most of them are the castles of some nobles, and they also serve as trading markets for nearby residents. And in the event of war, "all the nearby peasants, slaves, etc., on the estates, retreated to the mountain towns." ,

Now the Liao people are strong and clear, and all the peasants and slaves who live outside have retreated into the mountain city. According to those Liao people, "if all the soldiers and horses of these more than 60 cities are assembled, there will be about 20,000 people." However, these soldiers and horses are far worse than the defenders of Liaodong City, most of them are slave soldiers of the nobles, and they are even inferior to the soldiers of Baiyan and other cities.

Although it was said that it was a slave soldier with weak combat strength, it also made Chen Kefu and the others frown, which was far beyond his expectations. Originally, in the north of Yalu Shui, there were at most 60,000 or 70,000 Liao people. But now there are more than 50,000 people along the Liao River alone, not counting the Jian'an City and Beisha City on the Liaodong Peninsula, if you count the two mountain cities of Wugu City and Domestic City on the edge of the Yalu River, then the Goguryeo people have at least more than 100,000 people and horses on the north bank of the Yalu River.

"My lord, should we change our plan?" Mao Yi said with some worry, the original plan was 1

Originally, it was estimated that there were 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers on the north bank of Yalu Water, and they selected a unit this time, that is, about half of them, but now it is equivalent to doubling all of a sudden, which makes Mao Yi a little unconfident.

Chen Kefulou dragged his chin and pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said, "No, the more this is the case, the more necessary it is for us to carry out the original plan.

Goguryeo has not stopped expanding since its founding, and it can be said that everyone from the king to the noble lords has a large army in their hands, and now we have the opportunity to entrust them, and if we give up, the consequences we will have to bear are definitely not what we can bear now. ”

"Now everything is going according to the original plan, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the two major cities of Anshi and Baiyan,

The dozens of nearby mountain cities add up to about 10,000 soldiers and horses. We immediately sent messengers to give them orders, asking them to gather all the troops and horses to urgently enter Liaodong City to take over the defense, and said that Gao Jianwu had pursued the Sui army. If this victory is won, all the lords and nobles who come to participate will receive 20% of the spoils. Moreover, the captured Sui soldiers and civilians can also be divided into two percent! ”

"The general's plan was to think that the two cities of Porcelain City and Baekam were under the command of the northern Goryeo slave tribe Gao Yeonnian and the northern slave tribe Mattress Sa Gao Jung, and according to the guards interrogating the prisoners, they were brave and greedy. Among the troops he led, there were 2,000 cavalry, which were a mixture of Goguryeo, Turkic, Shoecorpion, Khitan, Xi and other ethnic groups, all of whom were skilled in archers and horses, and even in the entire Goguryeo army, they were the number one in the platoon. The two of them are even more proud of their good relationship with Lu Yuanziyou in the Goguryeo Dynasty, and in this Liaodong War, these two people have repeatedly written to Lu and asked them to lead their troops to Liaodong City to fight a decisive battle with our army. If we had promised him so much at this time, I think it would have come. ”

Chen Kefu nodded, this Goguryeo ruling system is more like the Zhou Dynasty in China, and on the surface, the territory of the entire kingdom is the king's. But in fact, the king gave the territory to the ministers and tribal leaders through the division of the fiefs, so that they could pass it on from generation to generation.

And those noble lords have considerable rights in the territory, except for the corresponding taxes to the central government and send troops in war, they have the final say on everything else. Even the subordinate officials are appointed by themselves. In the Central Imperial Court, the power of the court was in the hands of Lu, who was equivalent to the prime minister. The term of office is three years, but it can be re-elected. However, if there are other tribal leaders who are dissatisfied with this great pair of Lu, then he can lead his own soldiers and horses to fight against each other, and all other tribal leaders, including the king, have no right to interfere, and only the last victorious side can ascend to the throne of the great pair of Lu and sit on the greatest power of the kingdom.

Now Goguryeo's central government is the eastern lord and the great pair of Lu Yuanziyou in power, and the tribe of Yuanziyou is the largest tribe in Goguryeo at this time, not only that, but in order to consolidate his position, he usually attracts a large number of tribal leaders. This absolute slave mattress Sa Gao Yannian and the slave ministry mattress Sa Gaozhen are also his henchmen, and they have always indulged these two people, which also made these two people not buy anyone's account in the past.

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "These two people have always regarded themselves very highly, and they have always been dissatisfied with Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, who is sitting in Liaodong City. This time there is an opportunity to enter Liaodong City, and I believe that these two will not miss it. Mao Yi, you go and start arranging the matter of the messenger immediately, and set off tonight. After the two of them received the express letter, they would arrive in Liaodong City within three days at most, and then we would not come to catch turtles in an urn, close the door and beat the dogs, so that everyone could see these two pretentious warriors together. In addition, Hu Hai, Chen Gui, you led 1,000 soldiers of the broken barracks and 10,000 men of the Sixth Division to set out today, and led your troops and horses to hide in the valley near the second city. As soon as you see those two people leading their troops to leave the city for half a day, you two will take over the two cities with a forged military order from Gao Jianwu. If there is resistance, there will be no mercy. ”

Chen Gui said suspiciously, "General, didn't you say that it won't take long for the Liao people to fight back?" Why do you have to divide your troops to occupy the Liao city now? ”

"No, we don't want their city, after you take the city, immediately take all the men, women, and children in the city to Liaodong City. And collect all the grain, grass and property in the city, and transport them to Liaodong City, as for those cities, you don't have to stay behind, as long as you complete the task, the whole army will return immediately, and the empty city will be left to Gao Jianwu. ”
