Chapter 370: The generals are not in harmony
Yuwen Shu's beard trembled, and he slapped the table hard.
"The kid surnamed Luo, don't really think that after a few victories, you don't know that the sky is high, and when you want Lao Tzu to go into battle to kill the enemy, your kid hasn't been reincarnated yet."
Luo Cheng also slapped his hands again.
"Yuwen old horseman, I respect you as a general, don't really think that you have a lot of gains, it's just that you have eaten a few more bowls of dry rice and have grown a little older, but you are living to the belly of a dog at this age? Is it true that Grandpa Luo is a good bully? Let me tell you, I dare to beat Yu Wenhua and your nose and eyes are swollen, and I dare to beat you up. ”
Yu Zhongwen was watching a good show with his arms crossed on the side.
In fact, Yu Zhongwen also looked down on Yu Wenhua, his Yu family was one of the Eight Pillar countries back then, and the Yuwen Shu family, the twelve generals were not, just the slaves of the Xiongnu and Xianbei Yuwen. Yuwen said that the old horseman, if it weren't for the bet on Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and doing a lot of all kinds of yin things, how could he have his current status.
But this time the troops went out of Pyongyang, but Yu Wenshu commanded the left Fifth Army, but he only commanded the Right Fourth Army, which obviously made Yu Wenshu suppress him.
As for the other six generals, they were also dumbfounded.
Luo Cheng, a guy with no hair, actually dared to shoot Yuwenshu's table.
Jing Yuanheng, Zhang Jin, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong, Zhao Cai, and Cui Hongsheng all forgot to speak one by one. They are all generals of various guards, who are not forty or fifty years old, and have been in the army for most of their lives, but they know very well the rules of the army, for example, although the army attaches great importance to military merits, it also attaches great importance to seniority.
No matter how much Luo Cheng can fight, no matter how much he is appreciated by the emperor, after all, he is only a hairy boy in his early twenties, and in front of them, he has to lower his posture.
"I don't believe it, I can't cure you today." Yuwen Shuqi's demeanor was gone, and he went directly to draw his sword.
Luo Cheng reacted faster than him, Yuwenshu's sword had just been pulled out halfway, but Luo Cheng had already pulled out the sword directly and pointed it at Yuwenshu's chest.
"Old man Yuwen, you first wanted to forcibly take away the military rations of my left Fifth Army, and now you want to compete with me with a sword?"
Yu Zhongwen saw that it was too much trouble, so he hurriedly came over to stop it.
"Shicheng, don't come nonsense."
Luo Cheng smiled and borrowed the donkey from the slope and put away the sword.
"I still say the same thing, I can give 20,000 stone to the brothers' army for military rations, but at most there are only 20,000 stones, and there is no more. If Yuwen is not satisfied, he can report to the emperor, but I want to ask Your Majesty, Yuwen can't even keep his own food, how can he be qualified to cooperate with the army. ”
After speaking, Luo Cheng flicked his sleeves, "Farewell!" ”
"Someone, take down this thief for me." Yu culture and roar.
Yu Zhongwen snorted.
The two coaches disagreed, although this is the first army on the left, but no one dared to deduct Luo Cheng. Moreover, Luo Cheng and his party, as soon as they came out of the account, they had all drawn their swords.
Dozens of fierce generals and colonels, all of them drew their swords in their hands, but no one dared to stop them.
So, in the end, Yuwenshu could only watch Luo Cheng take his own people away.
"What do you mean?" Yuwen Shu glared angrily at Zhongwen.
"Gong Xu, don't be angry. Do you really want to detain Luo Cheng? Have you thought about the consequences? This river crossing is imminent, you first mess up with yourself, isn't this a joke? Besides, in case, I mean in case, you made the Left Fifth Army mutiny, have you thought about the consequences? ”
"They dare!"
"It's hard to say, it is said that the top and bottom of the Left Fifth Army are quite obedient and convincing to Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng has a very high prestige among his subordinates, this is really in case of a mutiny, you and I can't explain to Your Majesty."
"I'm mad at the old man, mad, arrogant. Luo Yi is crazy, but this Luo Cheng is ten times crazier than Luo Yi. ”
"People are crazy about the capital, not to mention that they are young after all." Yu Zhongwen persuaded.
Although Yu Wenshu calmed down a little anger, there was a very tricky problem in front of the generals.
"Even if Luo Chengken comes up with 20,000 stone of grain, our army of more than 200,000 won't be able to eat for a few days. Now the armies have less than ten days of food in their hands. Add 20,000 stones, and it won't help. Even if Luo Cheng took out all his military rations, the food of 30,000 people for a month and a half would be eaten for 300,000 people, and it would only be eaten in four or five days. ”
There are still 500 miles from Pyongyang, and if there is no delay along the way, it will be possible to reach it in five or six days.
But the problem is that now it's not just about rushing, it's about besieging the city.
Or attack a royal capital.
No one can guarantee that the half month's grain and grass in their hands will be able to support them to kill and capture Pyongyang City.
"Those bastards, they actually abandoned so much food along the way." Yu Wenshu scolded, he had known that the soldiers were throwing food on the road, but he didn't expect that it was almost gone.
When they reached the Yalu River, the whole army had no more than ten days' worth of food left.
"When we reach the city of Pyongyang, we can get food from the sailors." Yu Wenshu had no choice but to say in the end.
However, Yu Zhongwen did not approve of such a risky plan.
"Gong Xu, if there is any delay on the 500-mile road, our 300,000 people will run out of food. If the army has no food, it will collapse, and we are now 500 miles away from Pyongyang in front and hundreds of miles away from Liaodong in the back, and there are countless Goguryeo soldiers and horses in the middle. ”
"What if you want it?" Yuwen Shu was dissatisfied.
Yu Zhongwen asked people to get a map.
"I mean, we have to figure out our way out now. You can't rush to Pyongyang, that would be too risky. It is better for us to wave our troops down the Yalu River and capture one or two cities at the mouth of the river, first, to seize some food to solve the urgent need, and second, to seize the mouth of the river, we can also have a place to live. Moreover, this estuary is the seaside, after we take the city of the estuary, we will temporarily hold here, and then send people from the sea to find the sailors to get food, so that they can transport the grain, at least one or two months of food, so that we can attack Pyongyang again, otherwise, we will go without food, it is too risky, and if one is not good, there is a danger of annihilation. ”
Yu Zhongwen's plan is still relatively old-fashioned.
Now the food of the whole army is enough for half a month, and this still includes the food of Luo Chengzuo's Fifth Army, although it is only five or six days away from Pyongyang, but what if it is intercepted by enemy soldiers along the way?
Or maybe you reach the city of Pyongyang and can't take it for a while?
The rehydrators can't meet in time to provide food?
Too many could come up, so he was adamantly opposed to going south so riskily.
"But Your Majesty's will is that if we are slow, then the sailor will have to fight alone." In the end, Yu Wenshu still insisted on going south immediately.
"What do you think of the generals?" Yuwen asked the remaining six generals.
The six generals, you look at me, I look at you, for a while, in the end, there are three people who support Yuwenshu, three who support Yu Zhongwen, basically the left side supports Yuwen Shu, and the right side supports Yu Zhongwen.
"It's better to ask General Luo what he means." Yu Zhongwen saw that the opinions on both sides were half of each, so he said.
"It's inconvenient to ask that thief, Your Majesty has a decree before, so it will be carried out according to the plan, General Yu, what do you say?"
Yuwen Shu was asking him on the surface, but in fact, he had already pressed the emperor's will on Zhongwen.
Seeing this, Yu Zhongwen was also helpless, and finally had to agree that the whole army would continue to cross the Yangtze River.
