Chapter 635: Lu Su's Strategy
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Lu Su stood up and walked to the map. Zhao Yun was not too surprised when he saw Lu Su come out, Zhang Xiu made Pang Tong and Lu Su the military advisors of the army this time, and the match was still very good. Lu Su is good at layout and strategic planning, while Pang Tong is better at making plans and strategies when the two armies are fighting.
Now is the layout stage before the war, so it is naturally more appropriate for Lu Su to make a plan. I saw Lu Su pointing to the map and said: "This time, our army sent troops, and almost all the cavalry were mobilized, so it should not be able to hide from Cao Cao." As for our army to seize Liaodong, Cao Cao is afraid that he will also send cavalry out of the Great Wall to block it. Liaodong is located in the east of Youzhou, and since our army wants to carry out strategic encirclement of Cao's army, Liaodong can only be used as a rear. And the front line that really strategically encircled Cao's army was Youbeiping! ”
Zhao Yun and the others nodded unconsciously. To the east of the right Beiping is the subject state of Liaodong, and to the west is Yuyang County. It can be said that Youbeiping County is the springboard for the Han court to govern the subject state of Liaodong. Although the right Beiping County is outside the Great Wall, after taking this place, it is equivalent to a son in the east of Youzhou, and together with the Yanmen of Bingzhou in the west, it forms a clamp on Youzhou. As long as both sides attack together, Youzhou is difficult to take care of.
At this time, after Lu Su looked at everyone, he continued: "But it is not easy to take the right Beiping. First of all, the Cao army will send troops to stop it, and secondly, there are Wuhuan people in Beiping County and the north of the right place, and these Wuhuan people who have descended to Cao Cao are afraid that they will be transferred by the Cao army to help in the war. In addition, the subject state of Liaodong was in the hands of Gongsun Kang, who chose not to protect the Yuan brothers and killed the Yuan brothers who took refuge in him at the time of the Yuan Cao War, and sent the rank to Cao Cao, which shows that this person is cunning and ruthless. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Su paused again and said, "In addition, the Goguryeo Kingdom to the north of the land of Sanhan is guaranteed not to be mixed in. Goguryeo is powerful and should not be underestimated. Although His Majesty sent a naval army to attack Samhan by sea, it was only after the Heungba took all the lands of Samhan that our army would have enough strength to take Goguryeo. And this Goguryeo is very ambitious, and has been attacking Liaodong all these years, and has repeatedly fought with Gongsun Kang, and we are on an expedition to Liaodong, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not take advantage of the fire to rob. More importantly, Su Zeng learned from the records of the classics that this Goguryeo and this Buyeo Kingdom seem to belong to the same family. If they can deal with our army alone, they will not be able to unite, but I am afraid that they will be in trouble if they are strong and join forces to deal with our army. ”
Speaking of which, we have to mention the situation in the northeast of Youzhou. The Liaodong Peninsula was controlled by Gongsun Kang, and to the north of the Liaodong Peninsula was the Buyeo Kingdom (present-day northeastern Jilin Province) established by the Buyeo people, and to the south of the Buyeo Kingdom was the Goguryeo Kingdom (present-day southern Jilin Province and northern Korea). If history had not changed, Goguryeo would later join forces with Cao Wei against Gongsun Yuan, the son of Gongsun Kang, so that Cao Wei could gain the vassal state of Liaodong. After Cao Wei received the vassal state of Liaodong, he turned against Goguryeo and beat it back. However, Goguryeo existed for a very long time, and during the Wuhu Rebellion to the later period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Goguryeo expanded southward and penetrated deep into the Korean Peninsula, almost unifying the entire Korean Peninsula. Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, and when he arrived at Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he fought several times, and it was not until the time of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that he went out to destroy the Goguryeo Kingdom.
The entire Goguryeo Kingdom lasted for 800 years, and its lifespan can be described as extremely long. The so-called Goguryeo people are also people from northeastern China, not people from the Korean Peninsula. After the destruction of the Goguryeo Kingdom, most of the Goguryeo people moved back to the Central Plains, and only a very small number remained in the local area. This is also why the Goguryeo people in the Sui and Tang dynasties in history were so brave and good at fighting, and they could block several attacks from the Central Plains Dynasty. But after the destruction of Goguryeo, the people of those countries on the Korean Peninsula fought so hastily. To put it bluntly, people of no race at all.
And then again, in the entire northeast of Youzhou, there are four major forces: Cao Cao, Gongsun Kang, Goguryeo, and Buyeo. Zhao Yun also did not expect that this expedition to Liaodong would involve four forces. Cao Cao must be defeated, and Gongsun Kang's Liaodong Zhao Yun must also be obtained, but Goguryeo and Buyeo, two ambitious foreigners, will be yellow birds. Of course, Zhao Yun also has strange soldiers here, but all of them have to be tough, Zhao Yun has 100,000 fine horses, and in the end, I am afraid that he will lose a lot, so it is completely worth the loss.
patting his head, Zhao Yun asked: "Zijing, can you use a strategy first, let them fight, and we can fish in troubled waters." ”
Lu Su pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to use the strategy, Goguryeo has always been eyeing Liaodong, and the two sides are constantly in conflict. Goguryeo had sent troops to attack Liaodong several times before, and Gongsun Kang was also personally in command. If our army sends someone to contact Goguryeo and join forces to deal with Gongsun Kang, it will not be a big problem. Then send someone to contact Buyeo and ask him to send troops to take Wuhuan and allow him to get the land of Wuhuan. In this way, after Buyeo dragged Wuhuan and Goguryeo dragged Gongsun Kang, our army could deal with Cao's army first, and then look at the situation of Xingba in the south and choose the opportunity to seize Liaodong. After capturing Liaodong, he could cooperate with Xingba in the south to flank Goguryeo. We don't know the strength of Buyeo, and if it swallows Wuhuan when our army is flanking Goguryeo, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our army. Therefore, our army can also leave a hand, and Berji will invite the people and horses of all the tribes on the grassland here, and prepare for the fact that Fuyu is strong, and they will invade the grassland, so that they can unite together to deal with Buyeo, so that the various tribes of the grassland and Buyeo can be further weakened. ”
Lu Su's plan was interlocking, and all the tribes in the grassland, as well as the forces of Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Liaodong, were all counted. However, Zhao Yun and others all knew that Zhang Xiu didn't like to unite with outsiders to deal with his own people, so everyone was a little hesitant to do this.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was frowning on the main throne, Zhang Quan suddenly stood up and said, "General Zhao, Quan agrees with Mr. Xingzijing's policy. If the father blames, Izumi will bear it! ”
Zhao Yun raised his head when he heard this, looked at Zhang Quan with a determined expression, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that Your Majesty hates foreign clans very much. If you know that we are colluding with foreign races, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will greatly lose his status in His Majesty's heart, so ......"
Zhao Yun didn't say the latter words, but everyone knew that the meaning of Zhao Yun's words would have a great impact on Zhang Quan's inheritance of the throne in the future.
However, Zhang Quan shook his head indifferently and said, "Although it is an alliance with foreign clans, it is also a strategy. As long as this plan is successful, Goguryeo will be destroyed, and the Buyeo and grassland tribes will fight each other, and their strength will be reduced again. At that time, it will be easy for my father to send troops to take down these places. However, if we don't work with Mr. Zijing's plan, it will not be difficult for us to capture Liaodong alone, but it will be taken advantage of by Goguryeo, and the losses will be even more heavy. For the sake of the lives of our sergeants, why not carry some infamy. And Izumi also believes that his father is not a pedantic person. ”
Zhao Yun heard this, nodded and said, "Ben will understand, in this case, let's act according to Zijing's plan." After finishing speaking, he ordered loudly: "Boji, you are here to unite all the departments of the grassland, and if there is any change in Fuyu, you will immediately wave your army to attack." If any of those Hu people are not satisfied, they can be eliminated directly, and there is no need to report it. ”
Guo Huai heard this, and clenched his fists in response: "No! ”
After Zhao Yun swept the crowd, he asked: "Originally, I wanted two people to go to Goguryeo and Buyeo respectively, and said that Goguryeo and Buyeo would send troops. ”
As soon as Zhao Yun's voice fell, Jia Mu and Li Han responded separately: "General, Mu (Han) is willing to do it!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That's very good." But you two will go to one place by yourself. Buyeo and Goguryeo are far away, and they are in other countries, so let's choose a few retinues each. ”
When Jia Mu and Li Han heard this, they first glanced at Zhang Quan, and when Zhang Quan saw it, he smiled and said, "You can choose whatever you want." ”
Jia Mu and Li Han were also not polite, Jia Mu ordered Hua Qian and Pang Hui, and Li Han ordered Zhang Hu and Xu Gai. After discussing it again, it was decided that Jammu would go to Goguryeo and Li Han would go to Buyeo. At this time, Zhang Quan suddenly said: "Zisu (Jia Muzi), take these two little guys with you." After speaking, he pointed to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.
When Jia Mu heard this, he looked at Zhang Quan with some surprise. Zhang Quan smiled mysteriously and said, "Their martial arts are not bad, but they are still young and it is not good to go to the battlefield." It's not bad to go to Goguryeo with Zisu, and these two little guys won't attract attention, so Zisu may have a place to find them. ”
When Jia Mu heard this, he nodded and said, "Mu understands. ”
Seeing this, Zhao Yun nodded secretly. But he knew that when he went to talk about the two countries sending troops, in fact, Goguryeo was the key, after all, Wuhuan's vitality was greatly injured and his strength was not strong. And Zhao Yun on the Fuyu side also arranged for Guo Huai to gather all the tribes in the grassland to deal with it, and what Li Han had to do was to deceive the lord of Fuyu and buy time for Zhao Yun's side.
And seeing that Zhang Quan sent Deng Ai and Jiang Wei to Jia Mu's side, he naturally guessed Zhang Quan's intentions. Zhao Yun is not very clear about Deng Ai's ability, but Jiang Wei's ability, as a master, Zhao Yun is very clear. And Deng Ainai is Zhang Xiu's disciple, and he has already made contributions to the expedition to Nanzhong, and his talent is not bad. Zhang Xiu often joked that the two of them plus Zhong Hui are the pillars of the future, and Zhao Yun is convinced of Zhang Xiu's ability to recognize people.
After the plan was decided, Zhao Yun said: "In this way, I will prepare a fast horse for you and immediately go to Goguryeo and Buyeo." Wen Chang, give the order to go down, rest well tonight, and the army will immediately go east early tomorrow morning. Wei Yan heard this and immediately took the order and left.
……
The next day, Zhao Yun's army slowly went eastward, and the degree was not fast, especially on the edge of Yunzhong County, and it stayed for a while. And Li Han and Jia Mu led dozens of soldiers to Buyeo and Goguryeo that night.
Li Han's side was very smooth, and the king of Fuyu knew that Cao Cao had defeated the eastern Xianbei, Kebi could die in battle, and when the eastern Xianbei was divided, he already wanted to wave his army to the west. It's just that he didn't dare to send troops because he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength. Now as soon as Li Han arrived, he said that he supported the king of Buyeo to send troops, and immediately moved the king of Buyeo. He didn't think much about it, so he immediately waved his army to the west and attacked Wuhuan. After Li Han completed the task, he returned to Zhao Yunjun.
On the other hand, when Jammu arrived at Goguryeo, he was not so grandly received. However, after the king of Goguryeo heard Jammu's intention, he also agreed to send troops to Liaodong. Jamu was observant and knew that the Goguryeo king didn't actually take them seriously.
Jamu didn't care about these either, as long as the king of Goguryeo sent troops, they would suffer. After the king of Goguryeo agreed, he did not let Jammu and the others leave, but put them all under house arrest in Marut. In this regard, Hua Qian and Pang Hui felt extremely angry, but Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, the two little guys, were calm and relaxed, and often sneered. Let Hua Qian and Pang meet, and they are greatly puzzled.
However, in general, Buyeo and Goguryeo finally sent troops. Buyeo and Goguryeo are now arguably the two most powerful powers outside the Great Wall, and because of their friendship with each other, there is little conflict. However, these two so-called strongest forces outside the Great Wall are actually weaker than the three Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu that were divided before. You must know that the current Goguryeo is not the powerful country that will take down almost the entire Korean Peninsula in the future and block several attacks by Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang.
And Zhao Yun and others didn't know that in fact, even if they didn't send an envoy to Goguryeo this time, the king of Goguryeo would also send troops to attack Liaodong next year. Gongsun Kang, the historical Gongsun Kang, was killed during the war with Goguryeo, and Liaodong was also taken over by his younger brother Gongsun Gong.
The king of Goguryeo was arrogant, and after hearing that Zhang Xiu sent troops and would drag Gongsun Kang from behind, he hurriedly sent troops to attack. You must know that from Marudu to Liaodong, the cavalry marched in full and arrived in a few days. When Gongsun Kang learned about it, he immediately led his troops to resist.
After Zhao Yun's army found out that the two countries had sent troops, they also began to march more, and at the same time, a large number of scouts infiltrated Youzhou to inquire about the movements of Cao's army.
……
Youzhou Jicheng is too guarded, and Xiahoudun and Cao Zhang, Cao Chun and Fu Zhu are among the civil and military forces.
Xiahoudun sighed and said, "Everyone, the Great Wall is urgent. The Wuhuan envoy came to report that since Buyeo sent troops to attack Wuhuan, they could not send troops to help in the battle. And the same is true of Liaodong Gongsun Kang, but it became Goguryeo who attacked Liaodong. ”
Cao Zhang heard this, slapped the table suddenly, and scolded: "Needless to say, there must be an embroidery thief in this who provokes it!" ”
Fu Zhu was silent for a while, and then asked in a loud voice: "General, can you contact Xianbei." After defeating Kebineng before, many Xianbei people attached themselves to the prime minister, and if they could gather these Xianbei cavalry, they could help. ”
Xiahoudun sighed and said, "I've tried my best to retract it, but unfortunately there aren't many people coming." I heard that Guo Huai's gang was in Yunzhong County to recruit all the tribes of the grassland, and if any party did not go, he would send troops to attack, which made the people of the grassland panic and dare not disobey. ”
When Cao Zhang heard this, he said: "Uncle Yuanrang, we can also learn from Guo Huai and gather the ...... of all the departments of the grassland."
Xiahoudun shook his head and said: "It's difficult, our army is in the Great Wall, and Zhao Yun's 100,000 army is on the grassland, and our deterrent power is far inferior to Zhang Xiu." After saying that, Xiahou turned his head and asked, "Can the public have a plan to deal with Zhao Yun?" ”V
