Sending troops from Liaodong to attack Goguryeo, there are three roads to go: northern, central and southern. Xiahou Lan, who proposed the North Road Plan, was only under Shi Xun in terms of seniority and taste among the people who discussed it, but the problem was that Cao Zhen was the commander of the Qin Order, and Xiahou Lan, a distant relative of the Estranged Family, had a relationship with Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou and others, and the relationship between Cao Cao and Cao Hong and Cao Bao brothers was farther away than that of Cao Cao and Cao Hong and Cao Bao's brothers - this Xiahou moved to Changshan many generations ago, but was a fellow villager with Zhao Yun - so as soon as Cao Zhen expressed his opposition, Xiahou Lan was silent on the spot.

There were two roads left, one on the straight road and the other on the east along the Mazi water, arguing with each other. In the end, Xun made a decision and said that you all should stop arguing, let's just go two ways at the same time.

Cao Zhen panicked on the spot, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Taiwei think twice!" "Our total strength is less than 20,000, and according to Dong Meng, if the whole division of Goguryeo comes to the enemy, it can gather 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, it will be a outnumbered attack.

The division is weak, the combination is strong, 20,000 people are divided into two 10,000, unless they are not far apart, they can respond at any time, otherwise the strength of each part is not just as simple as dividing two by two, I am afraid it will not reach 0.8. This is common sense in military affairs, and although Shixun has two knives, of course he will not understand.

So what does Ji-hoon think? First of all, he was more inclined to Wei Yan's suggestion to take the Marudu Mountain directly along the Mazi River. If it goes well, you can make the most of the remaining more than one month, and if you take the middle way, you will probably not be able to reach the foot of Marudu Mountain in the end, and you will be forced to go home because of the harsh winter. There's no way he'll stay in Pingzhou for another year. Isn't this trip in vain?

Two. He also understood Wei Yan's thoughts. I hope that Wen Sheng can make meritorious contributions. Otherwise, if you go to sea, you will not succeed in an inch, but you will be rewarded by the marquis because of "fraudulent death", Cao Cao will not take back the reward, but you will be jealous of others, which will greatly hinder Wei Yan's future.

It's just that if you bet all the treasures on the south road, there is no way to win, because of the hydrological situation of Mazishui. The information is quite limited, maybe you can't cross the road because of the shallow water or narrow river halfway through? Moreover, as Cao Zhen said, nearly half of the Wei army was not accustomed to taking boats, and if they really met the enemy in a hurry, they were likely to lose their combat effectiveness and suffer a big defeat.

Therefore, the two sides are weighed, and it is Xun who finally decides, you should go your separate ways-"But if you plan well, you may not be weak if you divide it." ”

He appointed Xia Houlan as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, and selected half of the foot soldiers who were not too seasick. On the same day, I went to Pingguo to take a boat and bypassed the Liaodong Peninsula. Go to the Mazi Shuikou near Xi'an Ping, and take advantage of the opportunity to train strictly on a sea boat. At the same time, Dong Meng sent naturalized Goguryeo people up the Mazi River, probing the hydrological conditions along the way, and ready to guide the boat master at any time.

He took care of Xiahou Lan and Wei Yan, and said that the key to your road is to be fast, if you can take a boat, you can take a boat, and if you can't take a boat and then walk, you will strive to rush to the foot of Marudu Mountain before the palace has reacted. The naval and land armies must cooperate closely, and if the enemy's army obstructs the way, or if the ships cannot continue to advance, they must withdraw as soon as possible, and must not be left to chance.

The rest of the foot soldiers, Karasuma, and Wei cavalry were led by Cao Zhen, and they were directed to the Bone City before taking the main road. Yes Xun took care of it, saying that you should be steady on this road, and you don't have to pursue speed - of course, you can't deliberately fail to advance - on the way, you encounter the residents of Goguryeo, all of them are taken back to me, and when you encounter the enemy, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't, you will defend, and if you fight, you will pursue to protect yourself and greatly damage the enemy army, and you don't have to force a breakthrough.

As for Shi Xun himself, according to his promise to Cao Cao in advance, he sat in Xiangping and did not go to the front line.

His son is Fu, and it is Xun who asked him to follow Cao Zhen with his disciple Tian Pengzu, because he felt that it might be difficult to make great achievements along the way, but it was relatively safe. Cao Zidan did not advocate going deep into the enemy territory at the beginning, since the coach was so cautious, there was a possibility of missing the fighter, but the possibility of a fiasco was not large, and his son would be more relieved to follow him.

Deng Ai and Shi Bao followed Xiahou Lan and Wei Yan all the way, and it was Xun who asked them to ask for benefits from the generals in the battle, not to be pampered and greedy for merit. But in other words, although those two are considered disciples, they really can't "rely on themselves", Wei Yan and Xiahou Lan are both generals who were promoted by Xun in the past, and they have an iron relationship with Xun, so they will definitely be able to subdue them.

After the strategic guidelines are formulated, it is up to the front-line generals to decide how to march and how to use troops. It is said that more than 1,700 years later, with telegraphs, telephones, and even airplanes, the remote control command of Ximo and Chang Gong and others has led to irreparable consequences, not to mention that the level of communication in these years is so low, if it is really too wide, there is no need to fight, and the defeat is already decided.

Let's say that the generals ordered them to retreat, prepare their own supplies, gather troops and horses, and kill Goguryeo. Of course, Cao Zhen was the first to enter the enemy territory, no matter how cautious he was, it was impossible for him to be too slow before leaving the country - Xiahou Lan and Wei Yanke still had to board the ship to bypass the entire Liaodong Peninsula - this was also in Shixun's plan. He hoped to attract the main force of Goguryeo in the middle lane, so that the southern road could easily go straight.

"All those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory", the north road is the main soldier, the south road is the strange soldier. However, "the change of Qi Zheng cannot be overwhelmed by poverty; Qi is born together, such as the unprovoked cycle", if the south road successfully reaches the foot of Marudu Mountain, then this will become the main force, become a regular soldier, and Cao Zhen, who is holding back the enemy army on the north road, will become a strange soldier.

Although the plan was decided, his heart was not very steady, after all, his expedition to Goguryeo did not bring strong enough strategists - if Kong Ming could make the trip, would he still rack his brains with himself? The two troops were resolutely opposed by Cao Zhen at first, and when Shixun finished his specific plan, he thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be impossible, so he shut up. Shihoon asked for the opinions of the others, and everyone was the only one. This strategy that even Cao Zidan, Guo Boji, and Deng Shizai agree with, even if there is no chance of winning, it should not be a big defeat - that together, they can definitely be stronger than Kong Mingdu.

The problem is that Cao Zidan is still the first time to take on a heavy responsibility, and Deng Shizai is the first time to go to the battlefield...... How can there be any natural famous generals in the world, no matter how high the basic value is, the level is 1, and it is estimated that it is not much different from a wasted person. Fortunately, Guo Huai, Hao Zhao, and Wei Yan are famous generals, and Xiahoulan is barely a general.

If the army is not sent, the army is gone, and Shixun stays in Xiangping City, and it is inevitable that he will be restless all day long. He planned to find something to do for himself, so as not to worry more leisurely, so he ordered Dong Meng to gather the people after the autumn harvest to repair the mountain road from Xiangping to Xi'anping. Prior to this, it was the Taiwei who first took his troops to Qianshan to survey the road.

- Lao Jing was not around, it was Xun who asked him to take most of the parts to protect his son.

Fortunately, it was born to Fu Nai Guan Si, if you want to say that her son went to the battlefield, the old lady is not worried that it is a lie, but Guan Si himself went into battle to fight when he was younger than Fu Nian, and the more he understands the cruelty of the war, the more down-to-earth his heart is - tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are conscripted against the barbarians, and there is a father in charge, and there is a general in charge, and the possibility of suffering is really not too great. And Guan Si has always felt that since his son likes martial arts, he will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, and he is no better than his father who can write poems, and he can only live on his father's Yu Yin in Luoyang, so can he still be called a man?

If Cao Miao or even Ganyu are replaced, it is estimated that he will not be as generous as Guan Si, and maybe he will not let his son go into battle when he cries and wipes his tears. But Guan Si also has annoying things, she wants to pick up a gun and get on the horse, and personally protect her son to come to Liaodong to fight.

Let's say that Xun entered Qianshan, and the villagers sent by Dong Meng led the way, and there were troops to protect him, and he was also peaceful all the way. It's called the survey road, but in fact, it's just a walk along the way - Yesun doesn't add skill points at all in engineering - nearly 500 miles of mountain road, and it will be completed in ten days, and he will enter Xi'an Pingcheng smoothly. Xi'an Pingcheng was previously breached by Goguryeo, and half of the city's residents were exiled, and now it is a depressed scene, and the new county commander is recruiting people to repair the city defenses.

Before Shixun entered the city, Wei Yan's navy had already arrived at the mouth of Mazi Shuikou and was conducting the final intensive training for the land division. Xiahoulan and Wei Yan reported to Shixun, saying that they had consulted many Goguryeo people, and it was said that after entering the enemy's territory, the middle section of Mazishui was more than 300 miles long, and the river forked horizontally, and it was during the wet season, so it was inconvenient for the army to travel, so it was estimated that they could only travel by boat. Fortunately, the enemy army was also unable to deploy a large force on the river beach, and it was estimated that it would not be able to fight. Further upstream, until the mountain city of Marudu, another 200 li, the water surface is relatively narrow, the mountains on both sides of the bank gradually rise, and the enemy must be prevented from ambushing. It is said that more than 200 miles upstream from Mt. Maruto, the slope is steep and the flow is so fast that it is basically impossible to sail.

In other words, theoretically, ships can be launched directly under Marudu Mountain Castle, and even the largest sea ship in the fleet, that is, Wei Yan's ship, can at least cover three-fifths of the distance and sail all the way to the southeast of Susheng Bone City.

Shixun personally set up a banquet to entertain Xiahou Lan, Wei Yan and others, and poured wine on the ground to make a strong appearance. On the third day after the army left, just when Shixun was already waiting a little impatiently, the trilogy suddenly came to report: "Le Lang Taishou asks to see you." It was Xun Yi who pouted, and said in his heart that Liu Zigang really has a face, and waved his hand: "Let him report to the door." ”

In fact, Xun had not yet arrived in Liaodong, so he sent someone to Lelang by boat to inform Liu Yi and asked him to cross the border to pay respects. According to Shi Xun's idea, if Liu Yi refuses to come or dare not come, then this person really can't ask for it, and after the battle of Goguryeo, I will go south by the way, pacify Lelang, and then release the boat from Lelang back to the Shandong Peninsula. If he comes, then it will be better to beat it up and keep it for the time being to see the after-effects.

He ran from Xiangping to Xi'an Ping this time, and he also had the intention of deterring Liu Yi, but he didn't expect that the news had just been released, and Liu Yi finally came to meet him - calculating the time, it is estimated that he has not yet entered Xi'an Pingcheng, Liu Zigang set off from North Korea, well, the attitude is barely correct.

immediately ordered Liu Yi to report to the door, and then heard Liu Zigang raise his voice: "Cattle and horses go, Lelang County guards Liu Yi, meet the prince." (To be continued......)
