Chapter 052: Intention to take Liaodong

The lightning tore at the dark clouds, and the dark clouds gathered again and roared in the sky, black and oppressive, making people tremble.

The news of Luo Yi's rebellion made the atmosphere in Linshuo Palace tense to the extreme!

In the Yingwu Hall of the third hall of Linshuo Palace, Yang Tong's face sank like water, listening to Yang Gongren's report.

Luo Yi was originally a small soldier under Li Jing, and was appreciated by Li Jing for his repeated military exploits, and he was promoted to the position of Tiger Benlang General step by step, but this guy was a white-eyed wolf who was not full of taste, not only did he not appreciate Li Jing's kindness, but when he took the line of Yuwenshu, he immediately turned his face to Li Jing.

He insulted Li Jing, who was the general of the Right Wuwei at the time, many times, but was often humiliated by Li Jing, and the resentful Luo Yi once framed Li Jing for rebellion. Yang Guang didn't believe him at all, and sent Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, to comfort Li Jing, and said: "Even if someone says that you covet the palace and want to occupy the Jingshi, I have no doubt. ”

Yang Tong knows that this Luo Yi is the Luo Yi in the romance, but compared with the Luo Yi in the romance, he is not even as good as half a hair.

The king of Beiping in the romance is powerful in the world, Yanyun is invincible in the eighteen horses, and he is a big hero, but Luo Yi in the real is a complete villain, fierce and cunning, rigid and unkind, and very small-minded.

And in Yang Tong's opinion, this real Luo Yi is still incompetent.

In history, he stood on his own feet according to Zhuo County, not only the huge materials and armaments of Yang Guang's four expeditions to Goguryeo, but also the geographical advantages, Zhuo County itself was rich in people, tens of thousands of soldiers, and there were five tigers of the Xue family next to him, but this guy's power couldn't get out of Zhuo County.

Isn't this incompetence?

I forgot that there is such a number one person as Luo Yi under his rule, his old brother is good, not only is he restless, but he also introduced Khitan into the crown of Liaoxi.

After introducing Luo Yi's resume, Yang Gongren continued: "Luo Yi is very restless, his reputation is not good, and General Deng Wei, the Taishou of Liaoxi, did not let him go, so his army only has more than 6,000 people in his hands, and in the battle with General Deng, it has been contained north of the White Wolf Water!" ”

"And there is not only the Great Wall between Beiping County and Liaoxi County, but also Linyu Pass, this pass chokes the throat, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as he sticks to the pass, he will not be able to hit Beiping County and Zhuo County."

"Weichen has four concerns: first, the Khitan 60,000 iron cavalry are all in the shadows, if you can't break General Deng Wei in the front, you must go up the river, go around from the upstream to the back of General Deng, and send a fatal blow.

"Second, Huaiyuan Town, Liaoxi County and Tongding Town, Liaodong County, have hoarded a large amount of money, grain, and armaments, if General Deng Wei is defeated, Luo Yi will have it at his fingertips."

"Third, there are more than 100,000 prisoners of war who have built roads in Liaoxi County, not to mention that these prisoners of war are all young and strong, and they are all bandits who have experienced a hundred battles. Equipped with Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town, that is, hundreds of thousands of elite divisions. ”

"Fourth, once Liaoxi County and Liaodong County fall, the lonely Liaodong County and the Liaodong City east of Liaoshui will be lost, and Liaodong City is a nail nailed to the tip of Goguryeo's heart, and it is also the bridgehead for my Great Sui to take revenge, and there is no room for mistakes." Yang Gongren said solemnly.

"Liaodong City?" Yang Tong said.

Yang Gongren said: "Liaodong City is the Xiangping City of the Han Dynasty, the city is built on the highlands, steep and strong, the saint lost more than a million lives on the land of Liaodong, the only harvest is it, at present, Wei Yunqi, the Taishou of Liaodong, led 25,000 Sui troops to defend the city, and the supply is supplied by Tongding Town west of Liaoshui!" ”

Yang Tong smiled coldly, since he arrived in Zhuo County, it was the first time that someone dared to fight him like this, but Luo Yi was arrogant, he Yang Tong was not easy to mess with, this time he wanted to establish military prestige in the territory.

"Your Highness, in addition to sending a large army to fight head-on, you can actually send a flying boat to cross the Liaoshui and let Wei Yunqi cross to the west to help quell the rebellion, which can not only disperse the forces of Luo Yi and Khitan, but also reduce the pressure on Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town." Fang Xuanling suggested softly.

"Yes, in addition, you can also give the Xi people certain supplies and let them pretend to attack the Khitan itself." Wei Zheng added with a smile.

Yang Tong's eyes flickered for a while, then he shook his head lightly and said flatly: "Wei Yunqi is facing Goguryeo, it is not appropriate to move lightly!" The Xi people and the Khitan surrendered to the Turks together, it is not credible! To deal with just one Luo Yi and Khitan, there is no need to use alien races! ”

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng smiled bitterly, this is the arrogance of those who belong to the superiors, to deal with a traitor, if they still have to resort to foreign races, it is not prudent for them, but humiliating. In the end, even if he wins, he will not be able to build up his prestige.

Yang Tong looked at the Khitan on the map, and suddenly had an almost crazy decision.

The Khitan is one of the enduring ethnic groups on the grassland, which is governed by the Siwandan tribe, the He Da He tribe, the Fufu Yu tribe, the Yuling tribe, the Rilian tribe, the Pi Ji tribe, the Li tribe, and the Tuliu Yu tribe. The strength of each of them is not strong, but the eight tribes are of the same clan, and they have cohesion with each other, and in order to resist the common enemy, there is a need for the various tribes to unite, that is, the Oga Clan Alliance, a relatively loose tribal alliance. The competence of the tribal confederation is limited to joint military operations, and livestock production in the ministries is not regulated.

When one of them is in trouble, the four sides support, forming a unique existence in the grassland. The steppe people also habitually regard them as a whole, and dare not think of them separately.

The Khitan settlement extends to Chaoyang in the south, the West Lamulun River in the north, Chifeng in the west, and the Liao River in the east. Relying on the water of Chenshui, it is distributed in the west from the Laoha River basin to the northeast plain in the east. The Northern Yan, Northern Wei, and Northern Qi all used force against the Khitan one after another, causing them heavy losses.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Khitan were attached to the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, and gradually recovered in the left and right, and went south again in the first year of the Great Cause, but were attacked by the Turks under the command of Wei Yunqi, and more than 40,000 people were captured and suffered heavy losses again.

At present, the Sivandan tribe is the most powerful tribe in the Khitan, and the chief of the Sivandan tribe, Duolunke, is also revered as the leader of the Dahe Clan's alliance. The total strength of more than 70,000 people totaled, and this time 60,000 cavalry were drawn, that is, their native 10,000 troops were distributed among the eight tribes! If you take advantage of the Xi tribe and go out of Anle County, you can completely wipe out their lair.

However, Yang Dong's appetite is not limited to this.

His target was also the "△" territory north of Goguryeo's Xiaoliaoshui, which was the future Liaohe Plain and one of Goguryeo's most important grain-producing bases.

The Liaohe Plain is now shared by the Khitan and Goguryeo, and the Great Sui only accounts for a very small part.

The "△" part occupied by Goguryeo, the lower part not only has the small Liaoshui, but also the "/" Qianshan Mountain Range from north to west, this mountain range is huge and steep, and because the Liaodong City has fallen into the hands of the Great Sui! There are three paths connecting Goguryeo with this plain: one is Xuanju - Maigu - Momi - Hengshan - Houhuang - Wuyingluo - Yincheng, and the other is Xuanju - Maigu - Momi - Hengshan - Yincheng; The third is, Xuanxuan - wheat grain - grinding rice - silver city! These three roads, Yincheng is a hurdle that cannot be overcome! Just take the silver city...... Goguryeo will lose one-sixth of its territory.

The key point is that Goguryeo's biggest enemy at the moment is not Dasui, but Silla.

Silla took advantage of the war between Goguryeo and the Great Sui to take away the Goguryeo Hangang Plain in one fell swoop, which can be said to be the richest land in the Three Kingdoms of Haidong.

Goguryeo was greatly injured due to the rivalry with the Great Sui, and although it still ranked as the first country in Haidong, its national strength was reduced by more than half compared with its peak, and it could not win the second place in Silla.

This is also the sorrow of small countries.

Even a small result in the eyes of the Great Sui was a huge loss for Goguryeo. Today, they only have about 200,000 troops, except for Yincheng and Yincheng, which are facing Liaodong City, which have a total of 50,000 soldiers, and other small cities have no large army to garrison at all. Therefore, this time is definitely a godsend opportunity to eat the "△" lot of Khitan and Goguryeo.
