The plan to flood the Goguryeo reinforcements was formulated as early as the day when Li Chengqian and Dugu Qingyun joined forces, whether it was the location of the upstream river crossing or the water pattern of the Yalu water, all of which were provided by Zhao Yifan.

There's no way, even if he doesn't want to say it, under the various means of Ye Mei, Zhao Yifan almost didn't say anything about wetting the bed when he was three years old.

"No, it's still not right!" Just when Duan Zan showed a sudden expression, Cheng Chumo suddenly said: "Gao Ming, don't you want to wait for the Goguryeo reinforcements to arrive and launch an attack before the camp is finished, right?" ”

"Yes, what's the problem?" The first time he adopted the plan of water attack, Li Chengqian didn't know what problems would occur, so what he needed most now was to hear all kinds of doubtful voices, so that he could better complete his plan.

"Of course there is a problem, and it is a big problem. You think, if we want to get their attention, we have to attack, and what is the most likely thing that will happen when we attack? The Goguryeo people are fighting, right? But as soon as they meet them, and you flood them out of them, won't we be flooded ourselves? ”

Cheng Chumo said triumphantly, as if he had discovered a new continent, and his eyes even had a look of 'Lao Tzu saved all of you'.

"Alas, Siwen, you tell him." I thought that Cheng Chumo would say something constructive, but I didn't expect this guy to be afraid of being flooded, Li Chengqian suddenly lost interest, looked at Li Siwen, whose face was flushed, tilted his head, and asked him to explain to Xiao Cheng.

Li Siwen got the opportunity, so he naturally wouldn't let it go, and glanced at Cheng Chumo with disdain and said: "Old Cheng, don't forget, we are going to go by boat, and we happened to be on the boat when the flood was discharged, so only the Goguryeo people were drowned, not us." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and only then did he react, things seemed to be really as Li Siwen said, when they attacked, they did need to take a boat over, and hundreds of large and small warships, carrying their 80,000 people was really no big problem.

"Okay, what should I do, if I have time, check the equipment needed for the attack, don't get damp with the rockets, and check the gunpowder, don't let the Zhenguan cannon go off when the time comes." Seeing that the matter was explained clearly, Li Chengqian stopped talking nonsense with the gentlemen and sent them out directly.

Time passed little by little, and the flow rate of Yalu water became slower and slower, but relatively speaking, because of the lack of rain and snow during this time, such a water ripple situation really did not attract Xing Ziqiu's attention.

After all, he Xing Ziqiu is a member of the army department, and he has nothing to do with the sailors, so it is reasonable that he can't grasp the water ripples of Yalu water.

As for why Zhao Yifan is also in the army, but he knows the situation in the upper reaches of Yalu Water, this is because the surname Zhao himself is a person near Yalu Water, and the situation in his hometown is naturally not unclear.

But just when Li Chengqian and Xing Ziqiulu were competing with each other across a large river, Silla and Baekje, who were far behind Goguryeo, keenly discovered that the situation was wrong.

The number of soldiers patrolling the borders of the powerful enemy on the peninsula has been greatly reduced, and the patrol time has been extended, and the patrol procession that used to be seen several times a day can now only be seen once a day, and sometimes only once every two days.

Thinking of the Eastern Crusade being launched by the Tang Dynasty, the two countries suddenly realized that their opportunity had come, and Goguryeo seemed to be unable to withstand the Tang Dynasty's attack, and began to mobilize troops from the border to defend their capital.

As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the two countries that were bullied by Goguryeo and were about to fall into the sea almost did not even consult, and launched an attack on Goguryeo's back at the same time.

Silla mobilized nearly 100,000 troops and marched north along the coastline, and Baekje was also not to be outdone, mobilizing an equal number of troops and launching an attack on the hinterland of Goguryeo along the coastline on the other side.

It was chaotic, completely chaotic, and the countries above the three islands were in chaos almost in just three days, and Goguryeo was dissatisfied with the behavior of Silla and Baekje to take advantage of the fire and loot, and almost fought with the armies of the two countries, regardless of the fact that they were empty inside.

Of course, the two countries of Silla and Baekje were not soft persimmons, and in the face of Goguryeo's desperate resistance, they also used their own strength to eat milk, and they did not care about the casualties of their own troops.

If the Tang Dynasty is coming, if they don't take advantage of the current time when Goguryeo's troops are empty, it is very likely that after the Tang Dynasty comes, they will not even be left with some soup, and it is estimated that the territory occupied by Goguryeo before will not be returned to them.

It is precisely because of this calculation that the two countries are desperately attacking every inch of land they can grab, and the slaughter of the city is not done in two ways, all in order to be able to occupy more territory.

Of course, when the two countries were busy attacking Goguryeo, they did not forget to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to explain their actions, and said that the act of seizing the territory was simply in response to the call of the suzerainty to jointly crusade against injustice.

As for why they did it now, why they didn't start troops at the same time when Li Er raised his troops, it didn't matter, they just wanted to find an excuse not to be blamed by Datang.

After all, it is a very dangerous thing to snatch food from the mouth of the tiger of the Tang Dynasty, and who knows if the Tang army will be dissatisfied and destroy even their two small countries together.

In this way, Silla and Baekje continued to attack on the one hand, and on the other hand, they continued to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and even sent an envoy to Liaodong, intending to contact Li Chengqian, who was attacking, so that his land grabbing behavior would be recognized by Li Chengqian.

In the eyes of these two small states, their actions were tantamount to pinning down Goguryeo's forces and creating an opportunity for Li Chengqian's attack, and the Tang prince would definitely use some land in exchange for an offensive advantage.

The disadvantages of the crown prince's leading troops are too obvious, not to mention that he has suffered defeat, even if there are many people who die in the battle, it is very likely that Li Chengqian will face the risk of impeachment after returning to China.

Therefore, Silla and Baekje firmly believed that their land grabbing would definitely be understood by Li Chengqian, and would even help them explain it to Chang'an.

However, the two countries, who only cared about grabbing territory, did not expect that Li Chengqian was actually already victorious against Goguryeo, and did not need their help at all, even if the plan to flood the reinforcements failed, there would still be an ambush on Tsushima Island, and this ambush would play the same role as them at that time.
