Chapter 22
It was Xun who asked Cao Zhen to lead the army directly into Goguryeo, but Cao Zidan was still hesitant. Shi Xun comforted him and said: "Geography and enemy affairs, you can ask Dong Gongdao." As for the order of the Son of Heaven, if you want to stop the invasion, you must enter Juliye. ”
There is a bandit squatting in front of the house all the year round, banging on the door and robbing him every now and then, is it useful for you to just kick him out? I'm afraid that as soon as we retreat, Goguryeo will come to invade again, even if you build a fortress or even the Great Wall in Yanbian to prevent blockage, how much manpower and material resources will you have to consume? I have to rush out of the door and discount my leg, so that he will not dare to make trouble again.
At the same time, Shi Xun also put on the authority of the governor: "Jie Zhen is here, the affairs of the Northeast, I can control myself, does Zi Danken obey his fate?" ”
Cao Zhen hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I am willing to listen to the order of the captain." ”
In fact, Cao Zidan didn't want to invade Goguryeo, but although he had fought with Cao Cao in the south and north in the past, he had never taken on the important task of facing it, and he was a little uncertain in his heart. In the original history, Cao Zhen was also a famous general for a while, but in the early stage of the Battle of Hanzhong, he "attacked Liu Bei Bei with a partial general, and broke it", and on this timeline, this time out of the division, or the new daughter-in-law on the sedan chair - the first time.
So Shixun summoned the generals and first asked Dong Meng to introduce the situation of Goguryeo and the situation of the other party's domestic landscape, and then discuss the strategy of advancing the army.
Because Xun Jiu had the heart to conquer Goguryeo, he heard that his former official Dong Gongdao was appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong, and immediately wrote a letter to Dong Meng, asking Dong Meng to focus on collecting relevant information in case of emergency-if it were not for this, Dong Meng would not have been warned in advance when Goguryeo invaded in a big way. Somewhat prepared. It is estimated that Liaodong will suffer even greater losses.
Dong Meng said. Today, the king of Goguryeo is called Throne Palace......
If you start from the beginning, the grandfather of the palace is called Gong, and the palace is Bogu, who once met the Gongsun clan, and almost lost the capital and the country, and was forced to send an envoy to sue for peace - in the original history, it was Gongsun Kang who went to fight Goguryeo, not Gongsun Du on this timeline. After the time dragged on, Liaodong's military strength was stronger, and the domestic city was directly flattened.
It is said that because Baqi is "unscrupulous", so after the death of Bogu, the people of the country are the kings of Yiyimo. Angry and angry, he led 30,000 households to surrender to Liaodong - Dong Meng had not yet fulfilled his duties at that time - Yiyimo was afraid that his eldest brother would lead the Liaodong soldiers to come to the crusade. He was forced to build a fortress on Mount Maruto near the domestic castle and named it Maruto Mountain Castle. The palace and the imperial court offices were all relocated.
Therefore, at this time, the capital of Goguryeo should actually be two cities—the domestic and the Marudusan—that are in a position of horns with each other, which is a rare two-city system.
Although Baqi fled to Liaodong, the Han Dynasty at that time did not bother to send troops to Goguryeo to help him restore the throne - and Yiyimo's attitude at that time was quite deferential. So after four or five years of peace, Dong Meng, in accordance with Shixun's instructions, separated the people and placed them between the two counties of Xi'an Ping and Fanhan, trying to completely absorb and digest them, and turn them into Chinese people. And then it didn't take long for Lucky to hang up - as for the cause of death, there was no need to delve into it, anyway, Xun already knew how cunning and vicious Dong Meng's heart was......
A few years after Baqi's death, Yiyimo also swallowed his breath and passed the throne to his son, Weigong. This palace is said not to have been born to his wife, but to the illegitimate son of Noai, who was born from his mother's womb with two big eyes. Legend has it that his grandfather's palace was also born, hence the name "Ok Palace" – in the Goguryeo language, "bit" means similar.
The palace is young and ambitious, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has created border conflicts many times, and this time he has simply invaded on a large scale. As a result, Xi'an Ping County was destroyed, and thousands of Chinese were killed and taken captive, as well as more than 10,000 old Goguryeo people who had followed Baqi to descend, were also robbed back by him.
When Dong Meng said this, Shi Xun looked around at everyone and said slowly: "How can the Chinese be allowed to drift to a foreign land, and they will be taken back." And its beauty ...... If there are people who are able to cultivate, they will not destroy the other country now, and they will take many of their people captive to the state of Shiping. ”
Everyone received the order, and then asked Dong Meng about the geographical situation. Dong Meng had already drawn a map, and when he unfolded it, he pointed out and introduced: "The country of Juli can be 800 miles, the north is staggered by Liaoshan and Fuyu, the south is adjacent to Lelang across the river, and the west is confronted by Gaima Mountain and Wofu......"
The so-called Fuyu and Wofu are not countries, but ancient Tunguska tribes. The main ethnic group of Goguryeo was Fuyu, and in the north of Fuyu and Wofu, there were still various tribes of Lulou at that time, plus some of the eastern Xianbei from the grassland, and it is likely that there were ancestors of the Khitan, Bohai, Jurchen, and Manchu people in later generations among these tribes.
"There are many mountains and forests in the country of Juli, the road is dangerous and narrow, the household registration is more than 100,000, and many people live in the Maru Capital Mountain and its old capital, Susheng Bone City, and the surrounding ......"
Shi Xun interjected: "What is the number of households in Liaodong today?" What about Xuansu and Lelang? ”
Dong Mengyu reported: "There are 77,000 households in Liaodong today, more than 60,000 Lelang, and 10,000 households in Xuanfu. ”
Did you all hear it? "Today, the three counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, and Lelang, the hukou and the Guli are the same, and they are all invincible. With such a big guy on the side, how can the three counties be peaceful? I will destroy it! ”
After introducing the geographical situation, Dong Meng finally reminded: "The Juli soldiers are not very strong, but if you search the country, you can get 30,000 or 40,000 people." And in September, when winter falls, dripping into ice, cold to the bone marrow, Chinese can not live. If Vaguryeo, please stop in the following month. "We only have more than a month left before we can send troops to attack, if we miss this time, then we have to go back and wait until after the spring of next year.
As for the way to march, Dong Meng said that there is only one main road to enter the country and reach the capital, which is to point to the southeast from Gaojuli in Xuanwu County, pass through the Bone City of Susheng, cross the muddy water, and go to the foot of the Marudu Mountain. However, although the road is famous, it is actually through the mountains, and it is not easy for the army to march, and if the enemy army is intercepted layer by layer, it is estimated that the speed of advance will be very slow.
Fortunately, there are still many old Goguryeo people in Liaodong who can be summoned as guides.
Shi Xun frowned, stared at the map for a long time, and then asked, "I know that Xiguree has repeatedly invaded Xuansu, and I must come through this way." However, this broke the peace of Xi'an. What's the way? ”
Dong Meng said they came along the north bank of the Mazi River. In fact, this path is more difficult to follow. But from Marudu Mountain to Xi'an Ping, seventy percent of the territory is in the hands of Goguryeo, and of course they are much more familiar than us, and they don't have it on the way. If we go through this road now, the distance is much closer, and we are afraid that we will encounter ambushes along the way, which is even more unsafe than the north road.
The generals discussed a lot, and Cao Zhen suggested that it was better to go from the main road. As long as you are careful on the road and have Goguryeo people as guides, you will not be afraid of heavy setbacks. If the progress is slow due to the enemy's layers of equipment, and when the weather is really cold, it will not be difficult to retreat the same way. In short, it's a matter of weight.
Pingzhou Thorn Shi Xiahou Lan has been in battle many times, and his ideas are a little more fancy, and he proposed a new path. It is to go north from Xuansu County and enter the territory of Fuyu first. Then turn south to Liaoshan, so that you can bypass the Susheng Bone City and go straight to the Marudu Mountain—although the distance is more than twice as far, the terrain in the first half is relatively gentle, which is convenient for the army to march and deploy.
Cao Zhen immediately raised an objection: "There are three inconveniences in making the king's policy. The road is long, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I am afraid that winter is coming, and our division has not yet been able to enter the Guli realm, and it will return in vain...... "At least we have to fight into the enemy territory and meet the enemy army for a battle or two, so that we can explain to the imperial court, right?" "Secondly, if he refuses to borrow the way, he will hinder ...... more"
Xiahou Lan pursed her lips and said that if the rest of the husband refused to borrow the Tao, we would destroy them, and there were barbarians on the left and right, who was not beaten?
Cao Zhen did not refute for the time being, and raised the third point of inconvenience: "If I go to Marudu Mountain, and Su Shenggu sends troops to cut off my back road, what can I do?" ”
This is a matter of concern, Xia Houlan gritted her teeth and said no more. Cao Zhen planned to formulate a battle plan in accordance with the policy of taking directly from the middle road, but Wei Yan next to him suddenly spoke: "Yan thinks that Kou can come, I can also go, and I should follow the horse and water up." The water master of the extension can be used to replenish the benefits. ”
Wei Wensheng was very depressed, he was originally ordered to assist Jiao and Guang, but he encountered a violent storm halfway through the road and was forced to retreat to Dongzhi, and he almost died overseas. This time, I received the order again and went north to reinforce Liaodong, but I can't just go here to help transport soldiers and supplies, I also have to go into battle to get credit. If you really go from the middle way, then there is nothing to do with my sailor, are we just waiting here in Liaodong Bay?
Fortunately, there is a big river drawn on the map, called Ma Zishui, that is, the Yalu River in later generations, tracing the river upstream, you can directly reach the south of Marudu Mountain, there is no need to fight the bone city first. Moreover, there are still more than 200 miles of mountainous land between Sushenggu and Ma Zishui, and the difficulty factor is not small if the enemy wants to cut off my back road.
Besides, I will cover the passage of the Lu division with the sailor, and then I will cross the sailor in the water of the horse, and aim at the strong crossbow "Galewind" towards the shore, if you dare to come, you will die, and you will not be able to stand at all.
Guo Huai and Hao Zhao were quite interested in Wei Yan's discussion, and they all said that they could consider it, Deng Ai and Shi Bao were too low in rank, and basically they didn't have the right to speak. Yes Xun was groaning, and the son next to him asked first: "I don't know if Ma Zishui can go on a sea boat?" ”
Shi Xun glanced at his son and nodded secretly. Dong Meng replied that the Mazishui from Haikou to the border between the two countries could sail large ships in the eastern part of Liaodong, and there should be no problem-because the sea boats in those days were actually not much bigger than the river boats, and the draft was not deep--but the hydrological information in Goguryeo was relatively lacking, but "it is the peak of the flood season, and it is often flooded......
Wei Yan said that the flooding is good, which shows that there is still a lot of flat land on the shore, which is convenient for the army to march. If it's really flooding, let's just take my boat and go straight to Maruto Mountain.
Cao Zhen said: "If the land division goes up along the water, and the water division covers from behind, it must be feasible." However, if the water is flooded, the land division is on the boat, bumpy and tired, that is, when it encounters the enemy, it may be difficult to fight in battle. "Theoretically, it is easier to take a boat than to walk, but don't forget, there are nearly half of the landlubbers under my command, and if they are not trained, I am afraid that they will not be able to walk again when they get on the boat.
The generals discussed a lot, and in the end, they had to ask Shixun to decide. Yesun already had a belly case, and immediately took a few cases: "It can be two concurrent, and there is no risk." (To be continued......)
