804 Operation Cat Eating (Part I)

In fact, if you want to talk about this matter, you can only blame Jiang Yishi's own bad luck, Goguryeo's national fortune has also come to an end, and Suning has really found the most suitable place to work with the navy to deal with the Goguryeo army, and the people sent to it also contacted the navy that was rushing a day later, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui's joint navy dispatched very quickly, and almost rushed over in a hurry without resting, which made Suning very happy.

After another half a day, the intelligence sent by the sentry said that there was about a day and a half before the Goguryeo front army light cavalry could catch up with the Tang army, at this time, Suning finally saw a small transport ship carrying Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui, the two generals came over like this, Suning stood on the seashore, watching the transport ship slowly approach, and then Suning sent guards to drive a small fishing boat to pick Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui ashore.

"The two generals have worked hard, if they have a great contribution this time, the two generals should be the first to make a contribution!" Suning stepped forward and saluted with his fists, Zhang Liang likes to deal with Suning the most, every time he does something with Suning, Suning will always give him the greatest credit, so he likes to cooperate with Suning very much, because there are always benefits to get, this time it is even more so, seeing the middle-aged man who was tied into a dumpling behind Suning, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui were excited.

"General Su, this one, could it be Gao Jianwu?" Zhang Liang asked, Zhang Shigui also looked at Suning with blazing eyes, Suning smiled and nodded: "Yes, if it is fake, King Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu!" ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui were overjoyed, and said in unison: "Good! ”

Suning continued: "Not only that, the queen of Gao Jianwu. The concubines of the inner palace, all the children except the eldest son, were captured by me. ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui became more and more excited, Zhang Shigui laughed and said: "Okay, General Su has made a great contribution this time, and this time he has wiped out all the family, great, by the way, General Su, the soldiers who came to report said that you have burned the king of Goguryeo." Is it? ”

Suning nodded: "The royal capital was all burned." Several granaries and arsenals around were also burned down, and all the officials I saw, the powerful and the noble. Annihilation. All the imperial institutions and government offices, including the Goguryeo royal palace, were burned down. All but a part of the important texts were burned, everything that could be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away was either smashed or burned. Goguryeo was left without a single stay, and their court completely collapsed, giving him ten years to regain effective rule over Goguryeo's homeland.

In addition, all the farms I saw along the way were burned, all the grains in the fields were destroyed, and all the peasant households became refugees, Goguryeo's grain output this autumn will definitely be greatly reduced, and the national granary will be destroyed by us, and there will inevitably be a large-scale famine this winter, and Goguryeo will not be able to provide disaster relief at all, and thieves will inevitably swarm, Goguryeo will completely lose the ability to attack the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army will have enough time to conquer the grasslands, and then completely destroy Goguryeo after returning to the division! ”

Zhang Liang said with a little surprise: "I really can't imagine that General Su actually did this with 10,000 troops, a well-deserved young leader, this is good, Goguryeo will no longer be our henchmen, the former Sui three expeditions to Goguryeo did not succeed, I didn't expect that now General Su only led 10,000 people to destroy Goguryeo's lining, it's really unimaginable, this time, our army will definitely have a great victory!" ”

Zhang Shigui also nodded and exclaimed: "That's right, this time, we will be much easier, Goguryeo is short of food in the country, naturally we can't send troops to fight, the disaster is everywhere, thieves will swarm, and its king is captive, its court collapses, it can't deal with such things at all, Goguryeo has actually perished, but we don't have enough troops to eat it at this time, alas!" If there were 50,000 soldiers and horses at this time, the old man would dare to smash Huanglong and destroy him Goguryeo! ”

When Zhang Liang heard Zhang Shigui say this, he also showed an angry expression: "Oops! It's all that group of people, as soon as they heard that they all went to the grassland, there were only a few people left in the staff headquarters, and the 200,000 troops were all on the Northern Expedition, leaving us only tens of thousands of people, which was not enough to expand the results of the battle! Pity! Pity! When I go back this time, I will definitely participate in them! It's a pity that General Su created this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's a pity! ”

Suning sighed and said: "It's not a pity, all in all, Goguryeo is actually a dead country, but the so-called hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, Goguryeo still has a large number of soldiers and horses left, and has not completely lost the strength to resist us, behind our army, there is a famous Goguryeo general Jiang Yishi led 100,000 troops to pursue closely, and there is still a day and a half away from our army at most." ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui looked at each other, and Zhang Shigui said: "Then we should immediately prepare to retreat, 100,000 troops, we can't compete with it, or first bring Gao Jianwu and all of them back to the Tang Dynasty and hand them over to His Majesty, anyway, Goguryeo has no king and royal family, it will inevitably be in chaos, and those vying for power and profit will rise, and there will be no more peaceful day, we will take this opportunity to recuperate, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and when the soldiers and horses are ready in the spring of the next year, we will attack and destroy Goguryeo!" ”

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "I'm really unwilling! Such a great credit is in front of you, but you can't get it, alas! ”

Suning smiled and said: "The two generals came to help, if Ning is not prepared, it is too much to say, why don't we find a way to make a contribution, how about it?" Ning said before that about the capture of the Liaodong Peninsula, are the two generals interested? ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui were stunned for a moment, and they were shocked, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked: "General Su has a plan?" ”

Zhang Shigui dissuaded: "General Su must not underestimate the enemy, the enemy has 100,000 troops, and our army only has 40,000 sailors, it is difficult to fight against it, and we must not lose the credit we have now because of greed, he can't escape from it!" ”

Suning shook his head and said, "If you are not sure, Ning will not say this, the main reason is that Ning already has a plan, I don't know if the two generals are willing to listen to it?" ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui looked at each other, and Zhang Liang first said: "Of course I am willing, General Su, please speak." ”

Zhang Shigui thought about it for a while, and felt that Suning had made a great name in the army by virtue of his achievements and tricks of winning more with less, from the previous battle of Yinshan to the next few battles. All of them are winning more with less, and they have made great achievements, which are deeply relied on by His Majesty, so what does it matter if you listen to it?

Zhang Shigui nodded: "General Su, please speak, the old man is willing to hear the details." ”

Suning pointed to a wide sea area behind them: "There are no mountains blocking here, but an open sea area, at least a hundred warships can be lined up, and here behind us is also an open place." There was only a dense jungle there. ”

Suning pointed to a large jungle not far from the southeast behind him. Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui didn't know why, and continued to look at Suning suspiciously, and Suning continued: "Later, I will transport the important items looted from Goguryeo and Gao Jianwu's family to the sea ship for protection." Then I hid in this dense forest with ten thousand iron horses. Here is a sign that a large number of troops are crossing the sea and leaving the boats. When the Goguryeo army pursues and sees the fat in his mouth running away, what will he think?

Then. Our army can use the new weapons on the navy, such as the eight-bull crossbow and trebuchet, etc., to shoot the Goguryeo army from a long distance, and then the Goguryeo army will be densely numbered, and our army's bombardment with naval weapons will inevitably cause great confusion and great casualties, at this time, our army hidden on the shore will launch signal flares, the navy will stop shooting, and move closer to us, the navy will disembark and land to assist the iron cavalry in the battle, and our army will attack the Goguryeo army with incendiary canisters and other things, and the two generals will attack the Goguryeo army. ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui's eyes widened, and they said in unison: "Attack the Goguryeo army with the navy?" ”

Suning nodded and said to Zhang Shigui: "Do you remember how we dealt with the Goguryeo Naval Division's camp?" Isn't that how you fight? The naval weapons have a long range and great power, and the Goguryeo army must have no heavy weapons when it comes in a hurry, and even if it has heavy weapons, it will definitely not reach the point of counterattacking the navy, and the Goguryeo army without a naval division can no longer pose any threat to the navy, and then a Ba Niu crossbow will be enough to give them a heavy blow! ”

Zhang Shigui and Zhang Liang frowned, thinking carefully about the feasibility of Suning's strategy, and finally came to the conclusion that it was very likely to succeed, and how violent and annoyed would the pursuing enemy soldiers be when they saw the beaked duck flying away? Then there is still the heart to search for enemy troops in the surrounding area? He must have forgotten a qiē in anger, and then couldn't let go for a long time, and the width of this sea area should be about the same as the length of the Goguryeo army, in that case, how great would the blow that could be inflicted?

Suning felt that the only impact was that the 10,000 former army light cavalry was killed, as long as the 10,000 former army light cavalry were killed, then it could be dragged until Jiang Yishi's army arrived to implement this plan, in that case, the results would be the greatest, so no matter what, the 10,000 light cavalry should be killed, but not all of them, and some had to be left to report the news, which made Jiang Yishi even more annoyed.

After determining some details of the battle with Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui went back to arrange the battle of the navy, Zhang Liang also said that he would let the fleet send his 3,000 iron cavalry ashore to assist Suning in the battle, and Suning issued an order to Xue Rengui and allocate him 6,000 iron cavalry, so that he could set up an ambush where the Goguryeo iron cavalry must pass, defeat it, and repel, but not completely annihilate, let go appropriately, and then quickly return to the team, preparing for the next battle to destroy the Goguryeo army.

100,000 people, even if it is 100,000 pigs, it is not easy to deal with, although there are some of the foundations of the previous battles in it, but Suning is not absolutely sure that this battle can be fought well, but the loss of this opportunity to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost is not willing to accept it by Suning no matter what, no matter what, we must leave some marks on them, and leave some foundation for the future war, if we can lay the Liaodong Peninsula, it is the best.

Silla soldiers and horses are still fighting, if their own army retreats, then it is still a question whether the Silla army can continue to fight the remnants of Goguryeo, if Goguryeo attacks Silla and tries to get food, then Silla can resist? The Tang Dynasty still needs Silla now, at least it can't be destroyed by Goguryeo like this, and Baekje, the role of soy sauce.

Suning thinks that he has to give it a try anyway, he has to try it no matter what, even if he can't eliminate too much, it's still good to eliminate one step, if he doesn't expect it, this army is the largest main army in Goguryeo's current system, Jiang Yishi is the last defender of order in Goguryeo, as soon as he dies, the 100,000 troops disappear, and Goguryeo will immediately be able to stage a heroic biography, and the heroes will emerge in an endless stream to compete for the supremacy of Goguryeo.

That's what Suning wants to see the most.

As long as it loses the foundation of the last unification, they will inevitably be divided and chaotic, and their division and chaos is Suning's greatest opportunity, for the Tang Dynasty, isn't it an easy thing to deal with a divided and chaotic Goguryeo? (To be continued......)
