"King Wei is really an invincible hero!"

Liu Rensi, who was newly appointed as the governor of Youzhou in the Great Sui, sighed, "With this 300,000 invincible heroes, plus 300,000 cavalry under the account of Dulan Khan, and more than 600,000 troops are sent together, it is enough to make contributions to Liaodong!" I only hate this battle, but I don't have a chance to follow it! ”

At this time, Liu Rensi, Yang Shuang and others were watching the Sui army camp in the distance on the tall city of Zhuo County, and the 300,000 army was camped five miles northeast of Zhuo County.

The camp stretches for dozens of miles, even if the city wall of Zhuo County is as high as more than five zhang, they still can't see the end of the camp, only to see the banner in the camp, swords and guns like a forest, from time to time there are troops under the leadership of their own generals to report the drum in, and you can also see the cavalry patrolling around.

Not to mention the distance, just looking at the nearby camp, you can find that the soldiers here are well-trained, patrols pass by from time to time, and generals who have arranged to check the sentry posts also appear from time to time, in every corner, even if Yang Shuang is not in the barracks, they are extremely strict with military discipline, which shows that the quality of this army is very good.

Being praised by Liu Rensi like this, Yang Shuang himself is quite complacent, the most proud thing in his life is that he is good at training the army, and the closest to the city among these armies is the 100,000 people he brought from the Western Regions.

This army was trained by Yang Shuang himself, and it is also the most elite of the 300,000 troops.

Of course, the 200,000 troops who came down from the battlefield of Nanchen have already been quite effective after a series of battles with Nanchen before, even if they are not as good as their original soldiers, but they are still a strong army, comparable to most of the troops in the Sui army.

It's just that in the face of Liu Rensi's admiration, Yang Shuang had to be humble after all, he smiled slightly: "Manager Liu has won the award, with such an army, even if we can't make contributions to Liaodong this time, we can retreat with our whole body in mind!" ”

"Why did King Wei make such ominous words!"

Xiazhou Governor Dou Lu Tao is Yang Shuang's old partner, they have attacked Tuyuhun together before, and they have attacked the Western Regions before, and this time they are on the expedition as a partner, so the relationship between him and Yang Shuang is also wrong, and when he heard Yang Shuang's words, he also interjected.

He said with a smile, "Although everyone says that the Xia Kingdom is extremely powerful, and they have also defeated the Turkic army of one million before, but we all know that these are just gimmicks, the Turks only sent 400,000 cavalry in that defeat, and the others are just their vassals and herdsmen, and they have no combat effectiveness at all!"

This time, our Great Sui and the Turks united, but there were more than 600,000 troops, and our troops were not scattered, but concentrated to attack Liaodong, so that no matter what the Xia army did, it would definitely not be able to eat and walk! ”

After all, the previous attack of the Turks not only had 400,000 Turkic troops, but even 200,000 Tiele cavalry, plus the cavalry of other tribes actually had 700,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness of these tribes was actually not weak.

"What Mr. Doulu said is very true!" The surrounding generals didn't care about those, they all echoed, "This time, I have to let Xia Jun feel who is the most powerful empire in the whole world!" I have to let them know that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! ”

There are even some people who are very explicit: "I heard that now the Xia Kingdom has built Liaodong, which used to be bitterly cold, very well, so that after we defeat the Xia Kingdom, we can still get a lot of land rewards, and I heard that the land in the difficult water basin north of Liaodong is even more fertile!" ”

There are also more worried, "But the Xia Kingdom now has at least more than 10 million people, far more powerful than the original Goguryeo, if they also grit their teeth and gather a million troops to fight against us, so even if we and the Turks have a combined army of 600,000, it will be difficult to win!" ”

However, such a more rational statement was quickly refuted and retreated by others, and the generals of the Sui army were very optimistic about the prospects of this expedition to Liaodong, and they could no longer tolerate other opinions, and they had already begun to discuss their plans to buy land in Liaodong in the future.

Yang Shuang didn't pay attention to the boring arguments of these generals, he looked at the army in front of him with satisfaction, thinking about some strategic considerations when attacking Liaodong later, although he was a royal noble, but Yang Shuang's biggest wish was to lead troops to fight, and he didn't want to pay attention to anything else.

"Huh?" Just when Yang Shuang was immersed in his own imagination, he suddenly noticed that there was some chaos in an area not far from the camp, and he immediately said to a guard beside him, "What's going on in the camp over there, send someone to take a look!" ”

Since ancient times, when the army marched and fought, because of the long-term mental tension of the soldiers and other factors, the most worrying thing was the occurrence of the camp roar, once this kind of accident occurred, it was very likely to lead to the sudden rout of hundreds of thousands of troops, so even if it was daytime, Yang Shuang did not dare to be careless at all.

The guards quickly took the order and left.

"King Wei!" Qishu.com

Not long after, Li Chong, the newly released deputy general manager of the Liaodong Marching Army, rushed over accompanied by Yang Shuang's guards, he was Yang Shuang's deputy, and he had been patrolling the camp before.

It turned out that Li Chong had gone to the barracks on behalf of Yang Shuang to check the morale of the soldiers and other matters, which was just a running errand, encouraging and encouraging the soldiers, talking about the army's winning heart, so that the soldiers would have confidence in the victory of the army, and it would be fine, but he came over this time with a worried face.

"Deputy Chief Li, what happened in the camp?" When Yang Shuang saw the worry on Li Chong's face, he suddenly felt nervous in his heart, and suddenly felt that something bad had happened.

Li Chong said worriedly: "King Wei, just now I was inspecting in the camp, and suddenly found that hundreds of people in the army were suffering from heat stroke, most of them were relatively mild, but there were nearly 100 people who were in serious condition, and I had already arranged for emergency treatment in Langzhong in the camp. ”

"That's how it is!" Yang Shuang only found out at this time that he had iced sour plum soup to drink when he marched every day, but the soldiers not only had to carry weapons to the front army on foot, but also often had to help the people transport supplies, and even cut down trees to settle the camp.

Li Chong continued to explain: "King Wei, our march during this period of time is a dog day in the scorching heat, and along the way we are constantly rushing to rest less time, at that time there were many soldiers who were sick because of heat stroke and water and soil unsuitability, this time after we arrived in Zhuo County, as soon as we relaxed, many soldiers fell ill because of exhaustion!"

I have just checked in the barracks, and although the number of sick soldiers is only a very small number of the army, this is a very dangerous sign! At present, we must stay in Zhuojun for more than ten days, and then prepare a large amount of anti-heat medicine before we can continue the march! ”

Li Chong's meaning Yang Shuang understood very well, in the past, most of the battles of the army were fought in autumn, winter and spring, even if they attacked Nanchen before, most of the battles took place in the morning, so this time the dog days were really not suitable for marching and fighting.

"There's no way around it!" Yang Shuang listened to Li Chong's complaints, and he said helplessly, "Your Majesty has made an agreement with Dulan Khan to launch an attack on the Xia Kingdom together at the end of this month.

And this land of Liaodong has been bitter cold since ancient times, if we don't march now, then when we arrive in Liaodong, it will be winter there, it is the cold time!

Don't say that we have won the battle, it would be good to be able to save our lives in that freezing environment! The army still has to advance according to the arrangement, but I will send a message to all the states and counties to ask them to be ready within ten days and send them to Zhuo County! ”

Li Chong said helplessly: "Now it's only like this!" Fortunately, there are no symptoms such as diarrhea and dysentery in the army, but you should be careful in the future! ”

Yang Shuang, as Yang Jian's younger brother and the king of Wei, is so high and powerful, at this time, he is in the name of the general manager of the Liaodong marching army, and the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou, how dare these local officials slack off, so the anti-heat medicine that can be used by hundreds of thousands of troops was quickly sent to the camp.

With the help of these abundant medicines, the hidden dangers in the Sui army's barracks were completely solved as soon as they appeared, and Yang Shuang, Li Chong and others regained their self-confidence again, and they only needed to prevent such a situation from happening again in the army.

But no matter what Yang Shuang did, he could only see the soldiers in the barracks, and the people outside the barracks who transported heavy grain and grass to the army were not in his consideration.

In this way, many people have become sick because of the hard work along the way, and what they need most at this time is medical treatment, but because of the 300,000 Sui troops in front, they have already looted all the medicine along the way.

The only medicinal materials are also expensive, and the people don't have any money, so how can they afford to diagnose and treat, so these people who transported the materials died of a large number of diseases, and I don't know how many people's bodies were thrown in the wilderness along the way from Luoyang to Zhuojun.

There were even some unknown plagues that began to spread, dying every day, and even spreading to the many villages along the way, which formed to protect themselves, and the fear made it difficult to find the people who buried them.

In the face of almost endless forced labor, heavy manual labor, as well as the government's indifference, soldiers' abuse, and the threat of death, a large number of people began to flee, and some people knew that even if they fled home, they would be punished, so they simply fled to the mountains and forests in anger.

With the escape of the people, Yang Shuang ordered the rear to recruit more people, and even some local people in Zhuo County were also transferred a lot of people, after seeing these tragic scenes, they yearned for the Xia country that never wantonly transferred the people to conscription.

When the time came to the end of July of the 31st year of the summer calendar, the coolness of autumn could already be felt in the depths of the grassland, and even Zhuojun began to enter autumn, and at this time, a cavalry of 100,000 people sent by Dulan Khan also came to the vicinity of the Great Wall.

Together with the Sui army, they were to attack the upper Luanshui valley, which was closest to Zhuo County, while Dulan Khan personally led the remaining 200,000 cavalry to attack the Khitans' homeland, which is now Xiping County, where the Xia State was established.

After getting the news of the arrival of the 100,000 Turkic army, Yang Shuang finally set off!
