Chapter 478 Relying on the old and selling the old
The head of the ninth road, Yang Mingjuan, please replace three, but Yang Guang only changed one.
Zhao Cai, the word Xiaocai, people were replaced, not because the emperor is not serious, but because he is older, he is sixty-five this year.
This person has always been Yang Guang's henchman, after Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua in history, Zhao Xiaocai was not convinced, and at a banquet, he had said to Yu Wenhua and others: You eighteen people can only be loyal to one master, how can you serve elsewhere?
Then he was degraded by Yu Wenhua.
In fact, in history, there are many people who are loyal to Yang Guang, if Yu Wenhua does not kill Yang Guang, it is very likely that there will be a split between the north and the south.
But the premise is that Yang Guang has to pacify the Xiaoguo army under his command, after all, the rebellion of Yu Wenhua and the rebellion is the mutiny caused by the hometown of the Xiaoguo soldiers, and the defeat of Yu Wenhua is also because of Xiaoguo.
After he killed Yang Guang, he led 100,000 Xiaoguo back to the north, he couldn't help but go, Yang Guang could sit firmly in Jiangdu, but he didn't have this ability, so he did it head-on with Li Mi, and the act of killing the monarch had already made the army unstable, and the defeat was expected, and then he was captured by Dou Jiande and beheaded to the Turkic Kehe Dun Yicheng Princess.
In the entire history of China, the killing of kings cannot be tolerated, and it has not ended well.
No matter who kills Yang Guang, he will become the target of everyone, Yang Jian didn't dare to kill Chen Shubao, do you dare to kill Yang Guang? What kind of head can do this? This is completely the same as the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks.
During the Zhenguan period, Tang Taizong ordered that the descendants of Yu Wenhua and his brothers, Sima Dejiao, Pei Qiantong, Meng Jing, Yuanli, Yang Lan, Tang Fengyi and other traitors should be imprisoned.
After Li Jing arrived at the military headquarters, Duan Wenzhen treated the guests as if they were guests, invited them to the Shang study, and said with a smile:
"Since Your Majesty intends to let the pharmacist lead the western route, then the main western flank barrier will be entrusted to you."
Li Jing hurriedly said: "The humble post came here, it is the order to negotiate with Shangshu, there are two fortified cities on the west road, black bones and lowly luxury, and there are fifty-one mountain fortresses, I need to sort out the weapons and equipment, and I should also meet with other generals." ”
On his west road, there were originally two road managers, namely Xin Shixiong and Zhao Xiaocai, and a wheat iron staff, but the wheat iron staff was directly controlled by the emperor, and it was not counted as the marching manager, only the vanguard general.
Li Jing replaced Zhao Xiaocai, the commander-in-chief of the West Road, and was appointed as the head of the Pyongyang West Road March, while Mai Tiecane was good at attacking fortifications, and the earlier decision was to use Mai Tiecane to attack the humble city of the Liaodong Peninsula.
The reason why the wheat iron rod was not beaten in history was because he hung up when he crossed the river.
There were 15,000 people in Mai Tiecane and 16,000 in Xin Shixiong, and after Li Jing allocated it to Xin Shixiong, there were 50,000 and 34,000 people, plus the 2,000 Hedong Army given by Yang Ming, and the flank strength of Pyongyang West Province would be 67,000 people.
The main force of Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen is 72,000 people.
On Li Jing's side, there are not many cavalry troops needed, because he is a coolie, and he mainly fights a fortification, oppresses the mountain cities along the road, and opens up a southward passage for the main force, while the mountain cities of Goguryeo are all on the mountains, and none of the siege equipment is used, so he has to climb the mountains to fight.
If you don't fight, you can't fight, if you don't fight, people will go out of the city to fight your main force, so Li Jing felt from the beginning that it would be safe to take down these mountain cities, otherwise one would not be able to surround it, and let the family run out to fight Yuwenshu, and the main force would be tired of coping.
After all, the distribution of mountain cities, the Great Sui side only knows a rough idea, and the specific location is not clear at all, it all depends on wartime improvisation, and the difficulty can be imagined.
And Duan Wenzhen, who is also one of the pioneers of the Nine Roads, his task is to transfer his division to the north after taking Liaodong City, besiege Fuyu City, and avoid the enemy army in Fuyu City from going south to support.
Therefore, the entire strategic policy of Woo Moon Shu is to pave the way for him with other armies, so that he can go straight to Pyongyang, join up with Laihu'er, and become a decisive battle.
Once this strategy succeeds, only he and Yu Zhongwen will take the greatest credit, and this is also a consistent tradition of grabbing merit in the army.
After a while, Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong were called, and Li Jing hurriedly got up to greet them:
"Li Jing of Longxi, I have seen two generals."
Mai Tiezhu was a cheerful person, and he smiled when he heard this: "Pharmacist, please sit down, I already know the matter, this time you and I should work together and take care of each other." ”
"Naturally," Li Jing walked over and invited the two of them to sit down with a kind attitude, and the wheat iron rod let him sit down, but Xin Shixiong didn't give him a face, his arm avoided it, and he sat down by himself.
Both of them are the emperor's people, and Li Jing is the prince's person, Duan Wenzhen saw it in his eyes and knew that the Western Route Army was not easy to manage.
Li Jing climbed so fast, many people thought that he would shoot the prince's ass, there was only one battle of Pujin Pass, and his combat skills were indeed a little thinner.
"I heard that Your Majesty handed over all the right guards to you?" Xin Shixiong smiled and didn't smile.
The right general Xiaowei is Li Hun, Yuwenshu's brother-in-law, he is also too old to lead the army in person, so the two generals below, Xin Shixiong and Zhao Xiaocai, can take the lead.
Li Jing smiled bitterly: "The talent of the micro end, taking on this great responsibility, it is to make you laugh." ”
Xin Shixiong said in a strange manner: "With the prince's recommendation, how can it be said that it is a talent of the end?" After all, everyone still knows the prince's vision. ”
Li Jing knew that the other party was mocking him for welcoming the prince, and at other times, he laughed it off, but at the moment, the other party was under his control, and if he couldn't suppress the other party, when he arrived at the front line, there would be problems with the dispatch and command.
But he is the emperor's person, what kind of pressure does he take?
Then you can only please.
Li Jing said with a smile: "This time, His Majesty's prince has taken a fancy to him, and he has to ask the two of you for advice on many things, General Xin is an old man in the army, if you have any suggestions, just say, Li Jing is happy to be taught." ”
Although Xin Shixiong looked down on Li Jing, the other party was quite good at talking, so he said:
"You are the commander of the West Road, General Mai and I naturally listen to you, and you can fight how you say."
"There is no joke in the army, then we can settle it," Li Jing said with a smile.
Hehe, are you really going to climb up the pole? Xin Shixiong nodded and did not speak.
Instead, Mai Tiecane said: "The most taboo thing to do is to fight separately on the march, before we set off, we all discussed it, and we can say anything now, but when we get to the front line, the pharmacist can make a decision, and there is no problem on my side." ”
Li Jing was very grateful: "Brother is very loving, Jing is flattered." ”
Mai Tiezhu smiled and waved his hand and said: "I heard Su Lie say that the prince is the most important pharmacist in the soldier's family, it can be seen that the talent of the pharmacist is definitely above us, I am a rough person, I only know how to be loyal, and I serve His Majesty to death. ”
Originally, the three of them worked together this time, it was temporary, after finishing this vote, they would go back to the headquarters in the future, no one would bird anyone, Mai Tiezhu was willing to be obedient, Li Jing was very pleased, and he also knew in his heart that the other party was aiming at the prince's face, after all, Mai Tiezhu was once the prince's general.
"Brother is too humble," Li Jing hurriedly praised the other party.
The people in the army are sophisticated, and the involvement is too heavy, and if you don't have a good relationship with others, it will be very detrimental to yourself.
Xin Shixiong's self-deprecating words to Mai Tiecane are very disdainful, why are you Your Majesty's person, why are you inferior in front of a junior, and you still count me?
"There are many mountain cities on the west road, I make good use of the cavalry, it is better to deploy the cavalry to me, and I will be responsible for exploring the location of the enemy's camp and traveling to all sides as a cover for the siege," Xin Shixiong said.
He is good at fart cavalry, just because he used to bring cavalry, and followed Yang Guang's Chinese army to receive Jiankang from He Ruobi and Han Baohu, which is called making good use of cavalry?
It's just a way to save your life.
Because the elite main force of Goguryeo was the heavy cavalry with men and horses in armor, and the heavy cavalry specialized in the infantry formation.
Li Jing frowned suddenly, in terms of cavalry, he planned to command himself, divide it into five divisions, lead one main force by himself, and hand over the rest to Linghu Chang, Pei Xingyan, Guo Siben, and Yang Wanshi.
Yang Wanshi was originally in the East Palace as Zuo Yu's waiting, but Yang Xuangan greeted Yang Ming early and asked his younger brother to leave, because Yang Wanshi used to be in Hejian County, he knew more about Goguryeo, and he knew how to lead troops, so he was suitable to make meritorious contributions.
Li Jing's expression, Duan Wenzhen saw it in his eyes, so he took advantage of Li Jing's embarrassment to come out and explain:
"Don't hide it from the three, the prince has an explanation, the pharmacist has the left guard rate of the East Palace, and he is on behalf of the prince to go on the expedition, since His Majesty uses the pharmacist to control the west road, the two should work together."
"What? Military intelligence matters, can't they be discussed? Xin Shixiong said: "When I followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, the prince was not born yet. ”
Yang Ming wanted to replace him at the beginning, which had already made Xin Shixiong very angry, and now he asked a young man to restrain him, and he was even more unhappy.
Duan Wenzhen and Mai Tiezhu frowned at the same time.
Mai Tiecane knows the prince's wrist, you provoke others now, be careful that you can't eat in the future.
Duan Wenzhen said in a deep voice: "General Xin is cautious. ”
Xin Shixiong smiled and turned his face to the side.
After Li Jing pondered for a while, he said: "Since the old general is interested, it is better to do this, I will allocate you 5,000 light cavalry, plus 16,000 elite people in your headquarters, a total of 21,000 people, to attack the humble luxury city, and the nearby Haichengying, Baiyan City, Qingshiling, Wuguling, Daheishan, Deli Temple, Hailongchuan, Zhuanghe, Jian'an City, Qinglong Mountain, and Yantou Mountain, a total of twelve cities, what does the general think?" ”
He can see that this person relies on His Majesty's trust, relies on the old and sells the old, and disobeys the assignment, so as not to drag himself down, and the best way is to throw it to the Liaodong Peninsula to fight the humble city.
The obedient wheat iron rod should be entrusted with a heavy task, which is equivalent to letting Xin Shixiong do the original work of the wheat iron rod.
I want to ride the army, and you let me go to the mountain city? Do you think I can climb up the mountain at my age?
Xin Shixiong shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." ”
Li Jing sighed: "Then let me think about it again." ”
In fact, he won't change anymore, such a drag oil bottle must definitely be arranged, otherwise something big will happen.
So Li Jing found Pei Ju that night, hoping that Pei Ju could help him do Xin Shixiong's ideological work, Pei Ju's face, Xin Shixiong didn't dare not give it, and Pei Ju's mouth sold you and you gave him money.
He can make Xin Shixiong happily accept Li Jing's arrangement.
