Chapter 312: A Bold Idea

"Xuanhou thinks this matter is feasible?" Xue Rengui asked.

"It's feasible, but the time is too hasty, if it is decided, it will be prepared overnight, and it will definitely be too late to send troops from Liaodong, so only the flying pigeon will send a message to Anshi City, and Gao Huanquan will send troops." Xuan Shijing said: "In this way, I can barely catch up, but the Goguryeo soldiers under Gao Huanquan ......"

"It's also said that the soldiers of Gao Huanquan in Anshi City are indeed not as elite as the defenders of Liaodong, but they still have the strength to fight against the defenders of Daxing City today." Xue Rengui said.

"Siege the city, at least three times the strength of the defender...... That's fine. Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Fighting Daxing City, still implementing the strategy of sharp soldiers." ”

"Spearhead strategy?" Xue Rengui was puzzled.

"That's right, pick elite soldiers and attack overnight." Xuan Shijing said: "Even if it fails, you can immediately attack the city early the next morning, but with a tired army against the defenders in Daxing City, Ben Hou does not dare to determine the result." ”

"Either way, it's an opportunity, and it's worth trying." Xue Rengui said.

The main reason is that the main force to fight Daxingcheng is not the Liaodong defenders, but the Goguryeo army under Gao Huanquan, even if it is lost, Xue Rengui will not feel distressed.

It's not a soldier under his own hands, what do you feel sorry for? It is very worthwhile to let Gao Huanquan's soldiers go to Bo such an opportunity.

"In that case, we'll need to prepare overnight." Fang Yiai said.

"Well, you and the marshal will work hard tonight, prepare all the things that should be prepared, and tomorrow morning, I will set off to take people to Anshi City, General Xue is still guarding Liaodong City, and everything should be prepared." Xuan Shijing said.

"It's better for Master Hou to stay in Liaodong City, and I'll take people to Anshi City." Xue Rengui proposed.

"No!" Xuan Shijing immediately refused: "General Xue is now the commander, responsible for the overall situation, how can he easily leave the city lord's mansion, and besides, the 40,000 defenders in Liaodong can all be cut off by General Xue, this battle is said to be to seize this opportunity to attack Daxing City, in fact, it is just a temptation, it is not very important to the overall situation, we have earned it, we can't beat it, there are other ways." ”

The so-called way of using troops, attacking the city for the bottom, attacking the heart for the top, and going to the army to fight and strategize, now their plan has quietly begun to be implemented, and the use of troops is only a residual activity, not the main one.

If they all have to rely on troops to fight Liaodong City, then when Xuan Shijing comes, he should also bring 350,000 soldiers over, instead of just bringing 500 elite soldiers to Liaodong, and Hebei Su Dingfang led his troops to Weishan, which is not useful for the time being, and his army is still on the way.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he nodded: "Originally, if we could still cover it up, once Daxing City started fighting, it would be clear that our purpose would be put in front of Quangai Suwen." ”

"Sooner or later, the sailor will already start moving." Xuan Shijing said.

"Hmm." Xue Rengui nodded: "General Liu's sailors are at sea, not only fighting Goguryeo, but also restless Baekje, I'm afraid that in the future, the two will unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty." ”

"This is inevitable, the Datang Navy Division base is in Beisha City, so don't be afraid." Xuan Shijing said.

The entire northern division of the Tang Dynasty is all gathered in Beisha City, naturally south of the Qinling Mountains, it belongs to the south, the southern division of the naval base is in the Suzhou area, the responsibility of the naval division is to supervise the north-south shipping, to ensure the smooth flow of the Tang waterway transportation, and then there are naval divisions in the south, stationed in Quanzhou, the sea areas near Quanzhou are more chaotic, there are sea robbers who often go to the coastal areas to plunder all the year round, the duty of the Quanzhou naval division is to patrol the sea area, the pirates see one to kill one, cooperate with Quanzhou and other local governments, and exterminate the water thieves.

The Northern Naval Division will not be inferior in a fight with the combined naval divisions of Goguryeo and Baekje, because the supply base of the naval division is very close to the battlefield, and whether it is a protracted battle or an encounter battle, it can easily fight them.

Liu Renliang has been leading the navy for several years, since the garrison was in Beisha City, the navy has fought no less than 100 battles, even if the navy was a rookie three years ago, it will be fine after three years, what are you afraid of?

On the contrary, the Goguryeo Navy has been trembling for the past three years, and I don't know when the Tang Navy will wander around at the door of their own homes, and Goguryeo is not very stable in China, and the development of the Navy has been very slow, which is not as good as the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the sailor really encountered the combined forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, there was no need to be afraid, because two days earlier, the batch of gunpowder that Xuan Shijing brought to Liaodong was half sent to the sailor.

This thing is also a sharp weapon on the sea, provided that it is thrown accurately, in case it is thrown into the water, it is no different from a stone, once thrown on the boat, it will be much more interesting...... For the well-trained veterans of the sailors on the ship, the hit rate is still quite high.

The matter has been decided, Fang Yiai went back and Marshal Zhao overnight to prepare the things that Xuan Shijing needed to go on the expedition, Xuan Shijing did not bring many people, or his own five hundred personal soldiers, one person brought three days of dry food, and the rest waited until Anshi City to make supplies.

Early the next morning, Xuan Shijing took these 500 soldiers and horses to run towards Anshi City, and Fang Yiai, who stayed in Liaodong City, also sent a message to the Jinyi guards on the other side of Pyongyang City, asking them to see the opportunity to act.

As for Anshi City, everything will wait for Xuan Shijing to arrive in Anshi City, and then explain to Gao Huanquan, anyway, it has been discussed before, Gao Huanquan, together with the army he leads, completely obeys the assignment of Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing arrived at Anshi City with five hundred soldiers, it took less than two days, after entering Anshi City, the sky was not dark, Xuan Shijing hurriedly went to Gao Huanquan's mansion, found Gao Huanquan, and explained the matter to him.

I can't help Gao Huanquan to think about it carefully, he also understands the truth in this, once the time is late, then his army will face the 20,000 defenders who are not Daxing City, plus the Quan boy brought the wrong number, the number will reach at least 40,000, so that they will attack the city and have no chance of winning.

"Your Highness, there is a night of preparation time here in Anshi City, whether it is grain and grass, it needs to be prepared within this night, tomorrow morning, we will march for four days in a hurry, and arrive outside Daxing City, so that we must leave a little rest time for the soldiers in the army, otherwise even if the army arrives outside the city, it is a tired division, and the combat strength will be greatly reduced." Xuan Shijing said.

"Since Hou Ye has already thought about it, then everything that follows will be arranged by Hou Ye alone, and I, as the deputy general, can follow Hou Ye's instructions." Gao Huanquan said.
