Chapter 29: Falling from the Sky
One is to enter the country of people and fight abroad, although there are Goguryeo natives as guides, it is only a simple understanding of the situation of the mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to figure out the layout of the enemy army; Second, the territory of Goguryeo was mountainous, and there were several floods along the Mazishui River, and the departments of Xiahoulan and Wei Yan could not spread the outposts too far. Therefore, we know very little about the situation of the enemy in front of them, and it can be said that it is full of fog of war, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, it is difficult to gain insight into his situation.
So where is the main force of Goguryeo at this time? Is it that all of them have gone north to face Cao Zhen, or are there still a considerable number of Gong Defend the national capital? Xia Houlan and others are not clear. The army was slightly more than 10,000 by land and water, and it is said that Goguryeo had more than 30,000 victories...... The disparity in the strength of the outnumbered is so great that even if there are ships to rely on and the armor is strong, it is difficult to have a chance of victory if they really run into the main force of Goguryeo. What's more, Deng Ai wants to lead thirteen small boats and three hundred elite soldiers to take the lead, isn't that taking the initiative to send him to death?
So Xia Houlan immediately scolded Deng Ai: "Is the scholar crazy? ”
Deng Ai stiffened his neck and stammered and replied: "Soldiers, soldiers are very fast, I think it's amazing." Today, today's army is slow, set as a sentence, Juli detection, across the water, and, and the village, I am afraid that my ruler and size can not enter the ......"
He said that Shi Xun took the initiative to ask for an order to personally unify the troops of the four states to defeat Goguryeo, hoping to solve the border trouble in the northeast in one fell swoop, even if he could not fall his capital and destroy his country, he should also give a heavy blow, so that the Goguryeo people could not slow down for three or five years, so that the imperial court had no worries, and could use all its strength on the conquest of Shu. Who would have thought that the weather would not be smooth, and the geography would not be good for me, so we would only have one month to go deep into the enemy territory and launch a strike. Ladies and gentlemen, what will be the consequences?
To Dali, the northeast border is incomprehensible, and Goguryeo will invade the west at any time, containing the soldiers, horses and materials in the Kanto region, so that the imperial court cannot go all out to attack Liu Bei. After a long time, I am afraid that the general trend of the world will change and repeat - this is not a blessing for the country. To put it mildly, it is Xun who is honored as a dignified captain, and he goes on an expedition against the barbarians, but he can't succeed, and his reputation and holy family will inevitably be greatly damaged - we are all protégés of Taiwei, if Taiwei loses power, do we have any future at all?
This is still in terms of being forced to turn back, if only because we are moving slowly. So that the main force of Goguryeo has the opportunity to go north to destroy Cao Zhen's department first, and then turn around to fight us, and finally return defeated, I am afraid the ending and impact will be even worse.
"When this situation is in suspense and suspense, if there is no plan to hang and suspense, it will be difficult to solve it."
You think I like to take risks, it's a no-brainer. If I go, I will surely frighten the Goguryeo people and force them to shrink their defenses. Stick to the capital, then at least Cao Zhen on the north road can advance deeper. Hit the other side hard. As for me and the three hundred people under my command, it is estimated that there is a chance that half of them will not be able to come back, but the failure of the teacher will not hurt the muscles and bones-
"Ai Benxiang, rural farmers, and small officials in Tuntian are too gracious and too lieutenant to pull out the acres. is equal to a disciple, how dare you not be powdered and repaid? The big husband has to conquer the barbarians, and the horse leather shroud, also, also, what a pity?! ”
Boom, boom, talk. If a different person were to make such a grand statement, such as Shi Bao Shi Zhongrong, it would be really shocking. It's a pity that Deng Shizai stammered, and his momentum was somewhat insufficient, so Xia Houlan was not persuaded by him, but shook his hand: "Shizai retreats." "Do you know that the Captain values you? Taiwei entrusted you and Shi Zhongrong to us, although there is life and death on the battle array, but let you be alone in front, and finally hang, we can all retreat with our whole body, how can we explain to Taiwei when we go back!
Deng Ai still wanted to fight again, Wei Yan waved his hand at him, and said Shizai, since you have this kind of thought, if you really go into battle as you wish, how do you plan to deal with the ever-changing situation on the front line? Have you thought about it? I'll hear it.
Deng Ai was indeed thoughtful, rather than a trick that he came up with in a moment's blood. So he explained his plan in detail - first, according to the introduction of the Goguryeo guide, the enemy had a sailor, and his main role was to transport supplies on the Mazi River and the muddy water during the flood season; Secondly, we have penetrated four or five hundred miles deep into the enemy's territory, but we have not seen a boat or a soldier, and the enemy has not cruised along the river, which shows that our defense is lax, and for the time being, we did not expect our army to go up the water. So I took advantage of this opportunity to take a small boat and quickly advance to the bottom of the Maruto Mountain, and then there was a sixty percent chance of encountering the enemy's sailors, and fifty percent of them had a chance that the enemy would not be equipped and leave in horror. If the enemy retreats, I will go to the south bank, spread more flags, encourage smoke and dust, and pretend that the army is coming, and the Marudu Mountain Castle will inevitably gather the main force to defend, and General Cao will have the opportunity to drive straight in. If the enemy engages me, I will hold them back as long as I can, wait for the ships to arrive from behind, and then annihilate them.
I estimate that there are only two or three thousand sailors in Goguryeo, so as long as the people I choose are all brave warriors, one fights five, even if I can't win, it won't be wiped out in an instant, right? I am ready to realize that I must die, but the art of war is cloudy: "Put it to death and then live." "Actually, it's not necessarily going to die.
Calculating the range and speed, I can reach the foot of Marudu Mountain in two days, no matter how slow the big ship is, it should arrive in five or six days, I don't believe that I can't survive five days. If I really encounter the main force of the Goguryeo army, and I am attacked by land and water, and I suffer a crushing defeat, or even the whole army is annihilated, I will definitely send someone down the river to report to you, you don't have to turn around, just loosen the rope, and flee back to the sea with the wind and water, the enemy army will not be able to catch up, and you will definitely be unscathed.
If the main force of Goguryeo is really still near the mountain city of Marudu, then Cao Zhen of the North Road should be able to take advantage of the situation to take the city of Susheng Bones. Let's take it as a pindown on the enemy, and it's not in vain.
Wei Yan listened to Deng Ai's statement, and couldn't help but wipe his beard, saying Shizai, you have considered it quite comprehensively, this plan is indeed in danger, but-I like it! turned his head to help lobby Xia Houlan, Xia Houlan had no choice but to reluctantly agree - although he was the boss, Wei Yan's status was higher than his own (especially after "cheating death"), and the degree of intimacy with Shixun was not under him, since Wei Wensheng had made up his mind, it was not easy for him to refuse.
So he immediately selected brave fighters who knew how to fight in the army, promised heavy rewards, and assigned them to be used under Deng Ai. Everything was ready to stop, and Deng Ai said goodbye to the generals. In the end, he took the hand of his good friend Shi Bao and said Zhongrong, you don't have to worry about me, even if I die in battle here, it is 10,000 times stronger than being a small official in the tun all the time. There is only one thing that I regret, and that is - I have not yet married a wife, so I died. I'm afraid that the Deng family will be extinct. For the sake of our friendship, I beg you to say a word-"Zhong Rong him, if he has two sons in the future, can he be willing to make him succeed and succeed me Deng cigarettes?" ”
Shi Bao said don't worry, since you have asked me, I will work hard to marry a wife and have children, and when the time comes, I will give you one - I am not as bold and fat as you, and I am already ashamed that I can't fight side by side with you. If you can't even fulfill the little request of a friend, can you still be considered a human being?
Deng Shizai smiled faintly, then put on his armor and boarded the boat, and went away, not mentioning it for the time being. Moreover, he said that he did not see the Goguryeo cruising ship on the water, so he thought that the other party was not guarding the southern front at all, and he could not guess that the Wei army would go up the river, which was actually too much to take for granted. There really isn't this string in his mind at all. But the Pei who stayed in the mountain city of Marudu came, but for a while, a flash of inspiration appeared. This possibility is taken into account.
And when he was ordered to stay, he immediately distributed troops and horses, dispatched materials, and did his best to hold on to the country and the twin cities of Marudu Mountain, so as not to lose. At the same time, he also ordered the sailors stationed in the Mazi water at the foot of the mountain, asking them to send boats to patrol the river in case the Wei army took advantage of the gap.
The generals under his command don't understand. You're too worried, aren't you? Now it is the flood season, the upper reaches of the Mazi water are more executed embankments, flooding, the last time we went down the water, to break through Xi'an Ping, we retreated one step slower. More than 1,000 people in the rear army were almost blocked by the water and could not come back. If the flood has not receded, how can the Wei army survive?
You have to say: "Gentlemen, be careful not to underestimate the enemy. I heard that the Chinese are good at making boats and can sail the sea, but the little pony is in the water? If you attack by boat, what can you do? The generals looked at each other, and said in their hearts that we only know that you don't know how to fight, and you don't know how to sail if you dare to love...... No, it's simply a lack of necessary social common sense. Now that the west wind is tight, it is impossible for a big ship to go up the river, and if a small boat sails, how many soldiers and horses can it carry? Two or three thousand people, are we still afraid that he will not succeed?
Of course, as a landlocked country of Goguryeo, most of its generals are not accustomed to water warfare, and judging the Wei army completely according to their own shipbuilding and navigation level will inevitably miss a millimeter and be wrong for thousands of miles - it is indeed very difficult for the Wei army's big ships to sail on the Mazi water, but it is not impossible to go at all.
He said: "The Chinese are strong and good at cunning, how can they be light? I don't blame them for falling from the sky! ”
The generals all pouted, and said in their hearts that although our lord Pei is a virtuous minister, his courage is too small, and he is especially afraid of China like a tiger, which is like a mouse seeing a snake - you see, if the Wei army does not come, even if one person and one ride to the foot of the pill mountain, he will be frightened, and maybe he will open the city and surrender immediately......
But although he was not convinced, after all, the other party had a high reputation and a prominent family, and he was also awarded the important task of staying by the palace, so as long as the order was not too excessive, he had to obey it awe-inspiringly. Just the order to ask the sailor to cruise on the horse was issued, but the ticket was immediately returned.
To say that the general of the Goguryeo sailor is actually not a native, but a member of the former Han Dynasty, surnamed Hao Mingxu and Wenjun. Hao Wenjun used to be a small official of Xuansu, more than 20 years ago, Bogu invaded Xuansu, he directly became the leading party, and taught the Goguryeo people that they can sail on the Mazishui and muddy waters, which is convenient for transporting materials - there is Xiaoliao water in Xuansu, Hao Xu was born near the water, proficient in water, and can operate boats. Therefore, Bogu worshiped him as the chief general of the naval army, which was quite important.
For more than 20 years, Hao Xu basically turned the sailor into his own industry, occasionally being transferred to transport some grain and materials, and most of the time he went west to Xi'an Ping to trade with the Liaodong people, earning a lot of money and eating a lot of brains. Before the palace attacked Xi'anping, Hao Xu was against it-Xuansu who put a horse in Pingchuan didn't fight, why did you go to fight Xi'anping? It's all robbed by you, how can I do business with others in the future? It's just that the palace is powerful, and he only dares to slander.
But since he was unhappy in his heart, Pei Zhi had to give instructions, so Hao Xu found all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, one moment said that the previous expedition to the west, the ships were damaged and needed to be repaired, and the other time said that most of the soldiers returned to their hometowns for vacation, and now no one is available. He also didn't believe that the Wei army would fight from the horses, so he only deserved to use chicken feathers as arrows and deliberately entertain himself. I'm preparing to rest for the winter, and the king is not in the capital, what order did you give me?
After several urgings, Hao Xu just didn't move. In the end, he was in a hurry, and released a rumor, saying that the king had granted him the right to cut first and then play, and if the generals did not obey the order, they could be killed in battle to set an example. When Hao Xu heard the news, he had to pinch his nose to accept the general's order, and then symbolically sent three or five small boats to investigate the situation in the west.
The boat went down the wind and water, it was as urgent as an arrow, and it sailed out fifty or sixty miles in half a day, and the soldiers on the boat were discussing where to go to the shore to rest at night, when suddenly they saw a flag flashing at the corner in front of them, with black letters on a yellow background, which was a big ......

PS: I need a Goguryeo general's trick, flip through the post, and finally settle on the book friend "mousex" - you just gave a name and said that the rest was arranged by me, so ...... I'm sorry, anyway, you're still from the Central Plains in the setting, aren't you? Although he became a leading party...... But don't worry, it won't be long, and it will be bento soon!
