Chapter 36 Each has his own plan

ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Datang Tiger Ben", listen to more suggestions from you, pay attention to the starting point official account (add friends on WeChat - add an official account - enter qdread), and tell me quietly! Gao Shilian has high attainments in political governance, but he is very mediocre in military strategy. On the way here, Li Shimin told him that Luo Shixin lacked troops, and he specially transferred the Tiele cavalry attached to the Tang Dynasty to Luo Shixin for use.

Regarding Li Shimin's military strategy, Gao Shilian believed in him like a god, and hurriedly said: "Why is this the boss?" ”

Luo Shixin smiled and explained: "This soldier has a small number of soldiers, and there are many soldiers. I've already arranged it, and if Goguryeo knew that we still had reinforcements, it would be very bad, and it would ruin my original plan. We can afford it now, but Silla can't afford it. ”

"However, more soldiers is an advantage after all! You can't just let the reinforcements stay still......" Gao Shilian came here to assist Luo Shixin, not to pull him back, and he did not interfere with any of Luo Shixin's decisions militarily, but just to talk about his own views and suggestions.

"You have a point!" Luo Shixin has always been good at turning other people's wisdom into his own, and while maintaining his own subjectivity in listening to suggestions, he does not reject the opposition of others, but will analyze their proposals, neither blindly believing in himself nor blindly believing in others and denying himself, and said: "It is really not cost-effective to have soldiers and not use them." I had to think of a way to transfer the Tiele cavalry without knowing it so that Goguryeo would find out. ”

Luo Shixin pondered.

"Why don't you take the water?" Xue Rengui on the side suddenly burst out with a sentence.

Luo Shixin's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers happily and said: "Good idea, our transport ship is empty, and it is also a good choice to transport troops." ”

Luo Shixin immediately gave Xue Rengui a thumbs up and performed: "Good job, I will give you a credit!" ”

Xue Rengui smiled. Recently, he had consulted with Luo Shixin about this matter, and their land army should capture Gaimu and Liaodong, and seize enough grain and grass for the army. And the navy attacked the city of Beisha. A certain amount of supplies have also been obtained, and in the short term, there is no need for the support of food and grass by water.

Logistics is an indispensable key to marching operations. Luo Shixin had the intention of instructing Xue Rengui in the art of war, and explained to him their current logistics situation.

"And, I almost forgot!" Luo Shixin suddenly remembered something and said, "After our army captures Baiyan City, you will arrange to receive the people of Baiyan City." I'm going to destroy the entire city of Baiyan City, and forcibly relocate everything in the city to Liaodong. ”

Gao Shilian was stunned for a while and said, "Are you afraid of arousing public anger?" Forcing people to leave their homes. The destruction of their homes is untenable in the hearts of the people. ”

"No way!" Luo Shixin said: "I can't arrange soldiers to guard and govern a city, how can there be so many people." The strategic position of Baiyan City is good, but it is not suitable for the survival of the people, and there are not many people in the city. It is also good for Liaodong to move them to Liaodong and enrich the population of Liaodong. The benefits of destroying their strategic locations outweigh the disadvantages. As for how to settle them, it's up to you, my lord. ”

Gao Shilian held his forehead with one hand, but said with certainty: "The chief manager will decide, so be it." ”

Luo Shixin smiled: "Everything is fortunate to you." ”

Early the next morning. Luo Shixin gathered his troops and horses and officially advanced to the heart of Goguryeo.

Heading east, when he was about to arrive at White Rock City. got the latest news from Li Daozong, and more than 10,000 defenders of Black Bone City were on their way to rescue Baiyan City.

Luo Shixin immediately ordered that instead of advancing to Baiyan City, he would go straight to the Black Bone City to reinforce the troops.

When the reinforcements of Wugu City learned that the Tang army was pressing, how dare they continue to support, so they turned around and withdrew to Wugu City.

Luo Shixin forced back the Goguryeo reinforcements, and then turned around and joined the siege of Baiyan City, and the army surrounded Baiyan City to throw cars and crash cars to attack the city, followed by flying rocks and arrows. In Yuji City, it still relies on excellent siege equipment. The bombardment of Baiyan City was riddled with holes, and the defenders of the city did not have the opportunity to slow down. Rush up and take down White Rock City.

Counting the casualties of both sides and the military supplies in the city, Luo Shixin smiled and said: "They are learning to be obedient!" ”

Baekam Fortress was the gateway to Goguryeo before it conquered Liaodong, and it was also a strategic location. According to the urine nature of Goguryeo's good guards, they have no shortage of military supplies in the city. But now that they have taken Baiyan City, the grain, grass and various materials collected in the city are very small, and they are not enough for their army to stuff their teeth. Obviously, they suffered a big loss from Gaimu and Liaodong, and originally planned to give them the grain and grass prepared by the army, but gave it to the Tang army cheaply, and transferred all the strategic materials stored in the city.

"Now they are shocked to see if it will be too late!" Liu Renliang said with a bit of humor.

"Definitely! It's not necessarily too late to make amends. Luo Shixin doesn't care much about this result. Goguryeo attached great importance to Liaodong City, and prepared grain and grass in Liaodong City for two years, even if it was besieged by the enemy Liaodong for two years, it was enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat and drink. However, Liaodong City fell in less than a month, and all the grain and grass in the city belonged to them, and they did not have to worry about grain and grass for a few months, which was enough time for him to capture Goguryeo.

"Come here, inform the whole city, move all Baixin to Liaodong, and forcibly move away if you don't want to go." In accordance with the strategic policy they had drawn up in Liaodong, Luo Shixin moved away from the people of Baiyan City, and spent a day burning Baiyan City.

"Let's go, let's march into the city of An!"

Luo Shixin led more than 40,000 soldiers to Anshi City to kill.

**********

Anshi Castle.

"City Lord, the Tang Army has destroyed Baiyan City and is killing this side! Their number was estimated to be between forty and fifty thousand, and the march was very fast, and in less than ten days, they could march to the city of Lin'an. The scout told Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, the information he had obtained.

Yang Wanchun is in his forties, tall and thin, his face is frustrated, his appearance is not amazing, and he has a rustic feeling, but a pair of eyes are deep and unpredictable, and it gives people a feeling that is not simple.

"Ruined White Rock City?" Yang Wanchun muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Father's judgment is really right, Tang Jun's flaws have been revealed." The one who spoke was a white and heroic young man named Yang Zhuo, who was Yang Wanchun's son. looks like a mother's family, with a bit of handsomeness. He spoke in a brisk tone, with adoration for his father. From the moment the Tang Dynasty invaded Goguryeo. Yang Wanchun talked about the drawbacks of the Tang army's expedition. The most important of these was the lack of troops, and Li Tang learned from the defeat of the Sui Dynasty. Taking the line of elite soldiers, it is inevitable to be more cautious in acting, but because of this, it is inevitable that some aspects will be overcorrected.

Sure enough, everything was as his father expected, the Tang army was in the camp step by step, winning step by step, although the morale was like a rainbow, but the drawbacks appeared. As long as someone gave the Tang Dynasty a head-on blow in this situation. The Don army will be defeated.

Yang Wanchunjiao let out a hint of an unfathomable smile, and said lightly: "Good courage, the name of Huo Hussar in this life is indeed worthy of its reputation." You go and tell Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen to let them retreat for thirty miles, and they are not allowed to march without my order. ”

"Father, why is that?" Yang Zhuo exclaimed in surprise, the Tang army had no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and although they had won consecutive battles, their morale was high. However, after a long period of battle, the strength will inevitably be weakened compared to the beginning. And they had 18,000 soldiers in Anshi City, and Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led 100,000 troops under the order of Yuan Gai Suwen to cooperate with Anshi City to resist the Tang army. They had nearly 120,000 soldiers and horses, far superior to the Tang army in numbers. In the face of this advantage, it is really incomprehensible not to fight but to retreat.

Yang Wanchun shook his head and said, "You are still too young to understand the reason." Luo Shixin is a brave and ruthless man, but he is not a barbarian, and he has great wisdom. It can be seen from his capture of Liaodong that the use of tactics and strategies is as pure as fire, and he can be called a generation of famous generals. Such a character. Every move has its own special significance. In your opinion, they burned down White Rock City because of a lack of troops. Not enough to divide the troops and hold on. In the eyes of a father, he exposes his shortcomings. Let us know that we don't have enough troops, tempting us to go out of the city and fight. ”

"How is this possible?" Yang Zhuo's face was incredulous, and he said, "Our 50,000 tired expeditionary force dares to provoke us to fight?" ”

Yang Wanchun said cautiously: "Why don't you dare? I am the first powerful country in the east of the White Sea of Goguryeo, with more than 200,000 armored soldiers. In the past, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty had 300,000 yuan, and Yang Guang had only one million people to go to Goguryeo, and 100,000 people of the Tang Dynasty came to our country to conquer the city and conquer the city, and swallowed Liaodong in one go. What wouldn't you dare? Never underestimate the people of the Central Plains, my Goguryeo has today's prosperity, and what I rely on is also Hua. You haven't been to the Central Plains, and you don't know about the situation in the Central Plains. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had 8,000 Xiang family soldiers across the Jiangdong, conquering the world, and the battle of Julu defeated the Qin Dynasty's Xiong army of Wang Limao guarding the Great Wall with an army composed of tens of thousands of people, and forced down 200,000 Zhang Han Qin army. In the battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 cavalry broke 560,000 Liu Bang's princes. In addition, there was Huo Quai, the general of the Han Dynasty hussars, who went deep into the grassland with 50,000 soldiers to pursue the main force of the Huns, crisscrossing thousands of miles, and annihilating more than 70,000 enemies. Luo Shixin is as famous as these two people, how can he wait for those who are afraid of war. Fighting them head-on, although our army is numerous, it is not united, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are not sincere to convince me, and the coalition troops are tied up and have almost no chance of winning. Luo Shixin must have seen through this, instead of following the other party's strategic use of troops, it is better to let them retreat, so that the Tang army can not advance and retreat, and can only choose to storm the city of Wu'an. ”

Yang Zhuo has always believed in his father, and he didn't say much, "Since my father let him make a decision, the child is willing to accompany his father to protect Anshi and live and die with Anshi City." ”

"Haha!" Yang Wanchun laughed and said, "Courage is commendable, but it's not that serious." Anshi City is not a fortified city that will never fall, but it is not easy for Luo Shixin to capture it from me. The real weakness of the Tang army was not the lack of soldiers, but the inability to afford it. Especially in the current situation, Baekje and Yamato are besieging Silla. Once Silla is defeated by Baekje Yamato, he will face the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is wishful thinking for the Tang Dynasty to capture my Goguryeo. Luo Shixin can win because he plays steadily, as long as we push him hard, he can't win. (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
