In the Northeast of the Sui Dynasty, the power structure was very complex. In addition to the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo, there were also Eastern/Turkic tribes, the Min tribe, the Northern and Southern Shiwei tribes, and the Mohe tribes. These Northeastern foreign tribes were full of ambitions compared to the countries in the Western Regions, which had little ambition. The attack was wolf-like, so both Cao Wei and Hou Yan, as well as the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Zhou, and Sui, maintained military presence in the western Liaoning region. For the sake of the security of the Northeast, the regimes in various periods usually conquered the foreign tribes in the Northeast before launching all-out military operations in other regions.
Compared with the native Sui Dynasty people, Yang Ji, who had a historical advantage, knew that the aliens from the Northeast later became the biggest threat to the Central Plains dynasty. First, Silla, who unified the peninsula, invaded the Tang Dynasty, and then the great Zuorong of Mohe established the country in Liaodong and Goguryeo. Later generations founded the country in Youzhou and Jizhou; later came the rise of the Khitan, the rise of the Jurchens, the descendants of Mohe, and the rise of the Manchus, the descendants of Jurchens...
It is precisely because he understands the power and potential threats of these foreign tribes that Yang Ji is an out-and-out hawk when facing the foreign tribes in the Northeast. As early as when he broke up the Turkic Khanate, he has always advocated that the court pay attention to the Northeast; the Khitan now If Goguryeo is already dead, if Goguryeo is annihilated or goes south of the 39th parallel, then Han civilization can be used to assimilate the Northeastern aliens and make them proud of the Han family. Even if the other leaders and nobles understand the harm of assimilation, they will not He was too frightened by the power of the army to resist.
What's more, whether it is Eastern Turks, Goguryeo, or Silla, Baekje, North and South Shiwei, Lin tribe, and Mohe tribes, everyone regards writing Chinese characters, mastering Chinese studies, knowing Chinese rituals, and speaking Chinese as an honor. Since all of them are naturally close to Han civilization, as long as the Sui Dynasty established its authority, it could push Han civilization away.
Compared with Sinology, Buddhism, which advocates resignation and the concept of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately", is undoubtedly more powerful. If this thing is supplemented during the period, the Han civilization will be deeply ingrained in less than a hundred years, and the bones, wildness, and souls of aliens will also be destroyed. Resigned Buddhism softens.
However, the prerequisite is to fight the current battle well. As long as hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers are killed, the wild, fearful and unethical foreigners can be deterred, and at the same time, it can also lay the foundation for the unobstructed entry of Chinese and Buddhist studies.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the military discussion continued. Although Yang Ji and many good generals formulated a preemptive strategy, and the target was clearly the Xifeng Camp in the southwest, the specific tactics were more important than the grand strategy.
Yang Ji pondered for a while and then asked Yuwenshu: "General Yuwen, the commander of the Xifeng Camp is Song Zun. Do you know where he came from? And what is his temperament?"
Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Japan did not have surnames before. They had contacts with the Central Plains and came into contact with Han civilization, and then they had surnames. Now Goguryeo has more than 20 surnames, among which Gao and Yuan are the most common. , pine, sandalwood, Quan, Li, Yi, Yi branch are the most. Yang Ji could infer from Songzun's name that the other party came from a certain wealthy family, but he knew nothing about his details. If he didn't understand the other party's temperament, it would be difficult to target him.
"Your Majesty, Songzun is the Great Laisa of the Nunu-giving Tribe. The Great Laisa is composed of more than 20 tribes. Therefore, the Great Laisa is equivalent to the great chief of the Turkic Tribal Alliance. The other four tribes are also tribal alliances. The only difference is how many tribes they have jurisdiction over. ; The tribal alliance of the slave tribe is located in the western region of Goguryeo, and is also called the West by the Goguryeo people. Although this tribe is not as strong as the other four tribes, it still has a higher status in Goguryeo than the other three tribes because it closely follows the slave tribe headed by the Gao family. . This means that Songzun is one of the southern factions, and he is also Gao Yuan’s confidant general. His official position is also the Great Envoy." After introducing Songzun’s origin, Yu Wenshu went on to talk about the other party’s temperament: " After years of confrontation, I finally discovered that Song Zun’s greatest characteristic is his stability.”
Yang Ji frowned and asked, "Steady? Is it the kind of person who doesn't seek merit, but seeks no faults?"
"Exactly this kind!" Yu Wenshu nodded and continued: "The general has tried and provoked me in recent years, but Song Zun never sent troops to pursue him."
"This is going to be troublesome!" Seeing Yang Ji and others frowning and saying nothing, Yuchi Gong in the General series couldn't bear it anymore. He smiled bitterly and said: "The opponent has more troops than us, and they have built the Xifeng Camp better. The water is tight, and if we want to conquer this camp, I’m afraid we’ll have to pay a lot of money.”
"But it's not the case!" Xue Ju shook his head. He reviewed the enemy's situation in his mind, and then said: "First of all, the Xifeng Camp's 100,000-strong army is composed of the north and the south. Although the commander is Song Zun, the deputy commander Li Yong is leading The northern army has a total of 60,000 people, and all the food and supplies are supplied by the northern faction, so the key figure is Li Yong, not Song Zun."
"The two of them have different ideas and interests. They have worked together so far, and there will definitely be many conflicts. Song Zun's stability will most likely be criticized by Li Yong as weakness."
With that said, Xue Ju bowed his hands to Yu Wenshu and asked: "General Yuwen, I wonder if the last general has ever said it right?"
"Indeed!" Yu Wenshu nodded frequently: "When we were provoking, Li Yong's army tried to chase him many times, but Song Zun finally recalled him. I fully agree with the general's inference, and the opponent is indeed in a situation where the commander is weak and the general is strong. , handsome and steady will lead to a radical situation."
】
"Thank you, General Yuwen." Xue Ju bowed his hands and said: "Secondly, the Xifeng Camp is located in the southwest of our army. However, it is divided into the south, north and rear camps, like outstretched arms pointing towards our army's camp. The rear camp is the main camp, and the north and south sides are the two wings. If our army attacks the wing dominated by the Northern Army, Li Yong will definitely not sit idly by. If he insists on rescue, Song Zun will most likely not be able to stop it. And this, This is what our army can take advantage of.”
"Third, thanks to General Yuwen's tight defense, the enemy's scouts were unable to enter our Sui territory, and they could not detect the true strength of our army; at this time, the enemy thought that our army only had 15,000 soldiers. The long-term confrontation will inevitably make the entire Goguryeo army slack off. This is something our army can take advantage of."
After a few words, the difference between the handsome Xue Ju and the general Yu Chigong was immediately revealed.
Make a decision!
After hearing the end, Yuchi Gong felt ashamed and ashamed! He is a proud and arrogant person. In terms of martial arts, he has always been modeled after Xue Ju, and he has always regarded Xue Ju as his goal to surpass. It is precisely because of having such a strong reference object that Yuchi Gong practices diligently all year round. martial arts and has made rapid progress. However, until now, Yuchi Gong suddenly discovered that after Xue Ju established a peak in martial arts, he then made great achievements in military affairs, leaving him only behind.
Xue Ju is so powerful that it makes people desperate; how can he chase him? When can we catch up?
"General Yuwen, which battalion is the Northern Army?" Yang Ji had already decided to adopt Xue Ju's strategy. After thinking for a while, he asked Yuwen.
Yu Wenshu perked up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the southern army of Goguryeo is not good at fighting on the plains, so the northern camp is guarded by the northern army. The defenders of this camp are 15,000 people and are four or five miles away from the main camp."
General Yang Jidian said: "Master Yinshi comes forward to receive the order!"
"Here!" Master Yin Shi stood up and stepped forward, clasping his fists and bowing to wait for orders.
"Leave this camp to your Xiaoguo Army to attack." Yang Ji took out a command arrow and handed it to him, saying solemnly: "You set off immediately. Yu Yinshi is launching an attack from the south camp and drives the defeated troops west and north. .After conquering the enemy camp, immediately send out a group of soldiers to return for reinforcements and attack the reinforcements together with the ambush troops."
Master Yinshi took the command arrow, took a few steps back, saluted and said: "I will obey your order!"
"Yang Zhiyun, Yang Zhiliang, you two serve as the deputy generals of General Yin and go to assist in the battle." These two are Yang Da's grandsons and are both civil and military men. Their brothers have followed Yang Ji for many years and have rich combat experience.
"General, I obey!" Yang Zhiyun and Yang Zhiliang went out to salute and walked behind Master Yinshi.
Yang Ji looked at Zhu Can and called out: "Zhu Can!"
Zhu Can didn't expect that he also had a mission. He was stunned for a moment, but then he stepped forward and saluted: "The general is here!"
"You lead three hundred soldiers to assist General Yin. Your mission is to remove the patrol posts and seize the camp gate for the main camp." Because Goguryeo has many mountainous areas and mountain cities, the soldiers led by Yang Ji are all proficient in "special operations mode."
"Here!" Zhu Can responded loudly.
After making arrangements to seize the generals, Yang Ji said again: "Yang Shanhui, Yuchi Gong!"
"The last general is here!" The second general came out to salute.
"The enemy doesn't know the strength of our army, so they can only judge the strength of the attacking camp based on General Yuwen's fifteen thousand soldiers. In my opinion, the maximum number of troops sent is thirty thousand!" Yang Ji took out a command arrow and said in a deep voice: "You two I will lead 10,000 Liangzhou troops and 5,000 elite Xi tribe cavalry to set up an ambush at selected locations, and work with General Yin’s troops to annihilate the reinforcements. Your mission is to annihilate the enemy’s remaining strength.”
Fighting such ambushes and night battles, Yang Ji believed more in his generals and troops, so he made the Liangzhou Army the main force and the Xi Clan Army as the supplement.
Although the number of people was less than half the estimated enemy force, the Liangzhou Army's combat effectiveness was already very strong and they had the advantage of an ambush, so it was more than enough to defeat the possible 30,000 people.
"I will obey your orders!"
"You guys go down and get ready!"
"Here!" Yin Shishi and others saluted and left quickly.
After they left, Yang Ji said: "As for the general of the main camp, I will personally take charge of it. Generals, please bring all the soldiers with you!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Your Majesty, our army's camp is no longer defended?" Yu Wenshu has been fighting for most of his life. This is the first time in his life that he has seen such a crazy commander. Not only did he engage in a decisive battle as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, but he also couldn't even defend the camp. This He was so anxious that he almost jumped.
"Just keep the civil servants!" Yang Ji said nonchalantly, and then said to Hao Yuan and Ling Jing: "You lead two thousand Liangzhou troops to guard the camp."
"I obey the order!" Hao Yuan and Ling Jing stood up and obeyed the order.
"Once the defenders of Momi City and Maigu City hear that Xifeng Camp has been lost, they will definitely send troops to help. You two will give orders to Yu Zhongwen in my name!" Yang Ji paused and waited until the two of them were ready. Then he added: "Let him set up an ambush midway, annihilate the reinforcements, and then conquer the corners of Momi City and Maigu City. After that, lead the main force to join me!"
Hao Yuan and Ling Jing clasped their fists and said, "Here!"
"Get ready!" Yang Ji made arrangements, stood up and ordered.
"Here!" the generals shouted.
