Chapter 769 Tactics (4)
The Silla people are the natives of the peninsula, who have always lived at the southeastern tip of the peninsula, and have long confronted Goguryeo in the north and Baekje in the west.
In other words, the Silla people are not very trustworthy.
But at this time, the former king of Silla died, and was succeeded by a thirteen-year-old girl, who was said to be kind and intelligent, and was called Queen Seondeok.
And people are smart, not to mention, their ambitions are not small.
When his father was alive, Goguryeo was very powerful, not only in the north with the Turks and the Sui people, but also in the south the Silla people were also very uncomfortable, and many Silla people were used as slaves by the Goguryeo people.
And not long after that bloodbath, the Silla and Baekje people could no longer unite together.
But the opportunity still came, Goguryeo and the Sui people fought for several years in a row, and the Silla people didn't care about what the Sui people were, but the tragic image of Goguryeo made everyone very open.
Goguryeo did go downhill, and later some people said that Goguryeo captured a large number of people and a large amount of supplies in the battle with the Sui army, which was a great victory, but that is nonsense.
The first eastward expedition of the Sui army defeated hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops in Liaodong, and the people killed were estimated to be mountains, and more than 300,000 troops rushed to the hinterland of Goguryeo, and all the places they passed became scorched earth.
That's not all, the waterway of Laihu'er led the army to break the Goguryeo army, killing nothing, and also broke into the Goguryeo Jingshi, killing people and setting fires, if it wasn't for the bad luck, they could have slaughtered the Goguryeo Jingshi.
Only this time, Goguryeo was beaten to the cold, and the great damage to his vitality was not enough to describe the tragic situation of Goguryeo.
This battle also brought a lot of follow-up problems to Goguryeo, because the rout was in Goguryeo itself, many Sui soldiers were left in Goguryeo, most of them starved to death, many died there, and some were indeed captured, but there were also many survivors who became robbers in the mountains of Goguryeo, which caused very big social problems to Goguryeo.
Even more terrible was the political one, as Goguryeo's prime minister, Eulji Moondeok, soon died, forcing members of the royal family to fight during the war, and many of them died in battle.
After the war, he wanted to overthrow the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan, like a standard minister, and wanted to change the dynasty.
It's a pity that he offended too many people, and the Eulji clan is an outsider, and their ancestors are likely to be Xianbei people who were exiled to Goguryeo, so the foundation is not successful.
So, soon Gao Yuan united with other members of the royal family and some generals loyal to the Gao clan to rush into Eulzhi Wende's mansion and dismember Etozhi Wende's corpse.
As soon as Eulzhi Wende died, his henchmen dispersed in a hurry, a great purge ensued, and rebellions followed one after another.
The Silla people naturally applauded, but their old king was mourned, and the new king had not been on the throne for a long time, and she was a woman, and she hadn't made much trouble about her own affairs, so she naturally didn't dare to start a war with the Goguryeo people easily.
And the Baekje people have been pressed by the Silla people, and they just want to poke the Silla people's buttocks, so that the Silla people will not dare to act rashly.
The small peninsula has become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which shows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
In any case, the Silla people felt that it was difficult to support them alone, so they sent envoys to the west, intending to form a group of Sui people and jointly attack Goguryeo.
Well, these Silla people are located in the southeast of the peninsula, and for hundreds of years, they only had Baekje and Goguryeo in their eyes, and their ears and eyes were so closed that they didn't know that the Great Sui had become yesterday's yellow flower.
The envoys worked hard to enter the sea along the Datong River, and went to the mainland along the old road that came to Hu'er Dong, but because the ship was small and windy, only half of the dozens of envoys remained, and even most of the gifts from the Queen of Silla to the Sui lord were lost.
The location where they landed should be roughly in Shandong or Hebei, anyway, they themselves can't figure it out, in fact, no matter where they are, they have entered Dou Jiande's territory.
And these two realms have been plagued by the scourge of the light, over the years, it has been a scene of white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crowing, in fact, not even much white bones are seen, everywhere is barren grass, uninhabited.
The envoys didn't notice anything, the peninsula was mountainous, there were few people, and it was just as desolate.
It's just that not long after they landed, when they were still rejoicing in the rest of their lives at sea, they encountered the most common creature in this world today, the robbers.
The Silla people were not civilized people, and when they saw a group of ragged and black "natives" rushing over, they were not afraid, because these people were very thin and thin, and they were holding some sticks, wooden forks and other things, so they immediately pulled out their knives and wanted to tell these Sui untouchables that they were the nobles of Silla.
The two groups of people talked about the same duck, and the communication failed, and they suddenly became popular.
Facts have proved that even if the Sui people are hungry and full in the mountains, they have no strength to toss, but they are not the "petite" Silla people who can resist, after all, this is the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The Silla people were scattered in one by one, and when they got together again, there were only two or three kittens left, but fortunately, the main envoy was still there, otherwise they wouldn't have to go back, so they wiped their necks on the spot.
As soon as the Silla people discussed, they did not dare to stay in the "barbaric" Sui land for a long time, so they turned around and returned to Silla, so an envoy quietly failed.
This incident can only be said to be a relatively interesting episode at the moment, and it has no real significance.
The only consequence may be that Queen Deokseon of Silla was a little disappointed, realizing that the messenger she sent was incompetent, so she mercifully gave the messenger a decent death, and wondered whether to send another batch of unlucky ghosts out.
………………………………
And at this moment, the "Sui people" had already thrown Goguryeo out of the clouds, with red eyes open, only bent on killing each other.
On the evening of this day, Zhang Lun's Zuo Yiwei Mansion crossed the Yellow River, and with the arrival of night, the bad news finally reached Li Po's ears.
Li Shimin commanded more than 100,000 troops, raised troops from Wannian County, and went straight to the river, if he walked faster, the forward headquarters could reach Feng Yi in the middle of the night.
At this time, Wei Chi's tactics of leading his troops to Feng Yi received very good results, and at least they could buy a night for the army to cross the river.
Because it was impossible for Li Shimin to ignore such a force behind his flank and lead the army straight to the beachhead.
Li Po really calmed down this time, without any anxiety and panic, he only ordered the generals to supervise the army to cross the river in turn, and handed over all the things on the other side to Zhang Lun.
This undoubtedly made Wei Chigong and others complain, even Wei Chixin, who crossed the river, was not so convinced by Zhang Lun, after all, Zhang Lun was not only a general, but also a little worse in terms of qualifications and military exploits.
It is difficult for the battle-hardened warriors to accept that such a person suddenly climbs on their heads and gives orders.
But it is still the same sentence, as long as Li Po sits in front of the army, no one can make a fuss, and no one dares to miss the military intelligence fighter because of this.
Just like on the other side, Zhang Lun summoned Wei Chixin to discuss as soon as he received the news.
The two of them came together, and then looked at each other in the dim light.
The two of them don't have much intersection, they are almost strangers, and they come from very different backgrounds, Wei Chixin is a member of the gate, and Zhang Lun is from a family of soldiers, and they don't have the interest in making friends with each other.
The two of them don't understand each other, and they are both careful, Wei Chixin is afraid that Zhang Lun will be a villain and embarrass himself, and Zhang Lun is afraid that Yu Chixin will be embarrassed by his background.
However, after the two of them tried a few words, they were relieved, and if they were not at ease, they would not succeed, and at the moment of the great enemy, they did not have the kung fu to intrigue.
"The Tang army has more than 100,000 troops, and there are a lot of troops, and it is Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who personally leads the army, so it is not easy to get a......long," Zhang Lun scratched his beard and said quite "sadly".
Wei Chixin was unmoved, Zhang Lun has always been cunning, which is the consensus of everyone, because the battle of Longmen is too impressive.
"The Tang army came at night, and it will attack tomorrow morning at the earliest, at that time Zuo Yiwei should be able to cross the river with the whole army, I have nearly 30,000 troops, but I am not afraid of the enemy."
Zhang Lun shook his head and smiled, saying in his heart that this person really should be afraid of the enemy, is that I being small, or is he pretending to be confused with me?
Thinking of this, he was no longer ambiguous, and said directly: "San Lang has arrived at Feng Yicheng, although there are fewer soldiers, but the Tang army will not dare to let it go...... General Wei Chi thinks, what should we do? ”
For Wei Chixin, this is not a simple multiple-choice question, but he also understands that if he is emotional at this time, the bearded man in front of him will not tolerate him first.
Then I remembered the rumors about the battle of Longmen, and I couldn't help but secretly say, is this guy going to repeat his old tricks and not save him if he dies?
Wei Chixin gritted his teeth, but still said, "Since the king entrusted General Zhang with full powers, the last general will act according to orders." ”
What Zhang Lun wants is this sentence, "With the words of General Wei Chi, I can rest assured, you must know that today to lead the troops to break the enemy, you and I should be in front of everyone, we should work together, what is the master and slave?" ”
Immediately, he recruited Zhang Shigui and Zhao Shixun, and Wei Chi confidently said that although this guy was from a humble background, he was very disciplined in doing things, which was regarded as saving face for himself.
When everyone was together, Zhang Lun said solemnly: "The big war is imminent, I won't talk nonsense, the king ordered me to take full power, everyone across the river will listen to my dispatch, if anyone violates my military order, he will be punished heavily." ”
Seeing that several people nodded one after another, Zhang Lun ordered someone to unfold a map, which was drawn roughly, but he couldn't blame anyone, it took a lot of effort to get a map of Guanlong Land out at this time.
If it weren't for what was thick, it would be even more difficult for someone like Yun Dingxing.
A few people stuck their heads out, and the others didn't care, but Zhao Shixun was a little dizzy, this guy has been fighting for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing.
