According to the plan made by Yang Ji and several deputy general managers, the next war must be stable. First, the three armies targeting Anshi City, Lishan City, and Hengshan City in Gaimou City will be annihilated in the wild, and then Liaodong City will be used as bait. , to induce the Goguryeo army in the south to fight northward, so as to avoid attacking and capturing city after city in the future. However, in the past few days, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has changed extremely quickly.
First, Goguryeo's Dahangcheng, Bobucheng, and Wugucheng armies were mobilized. The 110,000 army was divided into two at the Byesa River: Eulji Eidek led the 50,000 Wugu army into the "Qiansan-Bisha River" road, and the troops were at the front. Aiming directly at Ansi City in the northwest; while Wu Bin led an army of 60,000 to directly aim at the Liaodong Peninsula. His combat intention was very obvious, which was to annihilate the weak Mai Mengjae army, move north along the coast, and then cooperate with Eulji Eideok They fought and attacked Gaimou City and Anshi City from behind.
The arrival of these two Goguryeo armies was very much in line with Yang Ji's strategy of encircling the point for reinforcements. However, because these two armies arrived so quickly, the Sui army was unable to deal with them for a while.
Before Yang Ji annihilated Yuan Ziche's army pointing at Anshi City in Gaimu City, Yang Xian's army pointing at Lishan City, and Dong Chong's army pointing at Hengshan City, he did not have the extra troops to deal with the two armies in the south; when he saw Yang Lun's attack in Lishan City, In the first military report, Mai Mengcai planned to fight in Bisha City while preparing to withdraw to Gaimou City. However, before he could make a decision, Yang Lun's second military message came one after another, saying that Emperor Yang Guang, with Zhou Fashang as general, would lead 50,000 naval troops to come to the rescue.
The arrival of this military message also made Yang Jida relax and no longer let Mai Mengcai abandon the Liaodong Peninsula.
Zhou Fashang's army and Wu Bin's army were equally powerful. Yang Ji and others thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers. However, not long after he arrived at Hengshan City, he received a good news from Yang Lun. The battle in Niangniang City that could have lasted for a long time turned into a one-sided battle. massacre.
Judging from the pre-war deployment mentioned in the victory report, Zhou Fashang fought this battle very well. Wu Bin was not given time to react at all. He even blocked the retreat of the defeated soldiers, and even one of the defeated soldiers was blocked by him. There is no way to escape to the east, which also lays a good foundation for the next step.
Eulji Indeok, the lord of Wugu Castle, gave all his troops to his younger brother Eulji Eideok, so there was no decent army in the city. In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat to Wafanggou Castle on the north bank of Boliushui (Hunjiang River). , and further north is the domestic city of Zhongdu in Goguryeo.
Although he is now defending with the army in the inner city, the Guaguofangcheng, Wugu City, Bobei City, Shangjian City, Dahang City, Jiami City, Gucheng, Key places such as Tsutsufu City, Mikawa City, Baima City, and Dragon Bone City were all controlled by Zhou Fashang's navy.
This also means that the Sui army's front extends to the north of Sa River in the "Changbai Mountain-Sa River" battlefield. South of Sa River is the third battlefield "Sa River and Zhu River" plain. This is also the last major battlefield decided by Yang Ji.
The "Sashui and Zhushui" plains are mainly composed of Shun'an and Pyongyang plains. As long as the Sui army crossed the Sa River, they could use cavalry on a large scale to fight all the way to Pyongyang City in the upper reaches of the Zhushui River. Although the Sui army was dominated by Zhou Fashang The army does not yet have this strength, but it can still cause an uproar and chaos in the "Sa Shui Hao Shui" plain. At the same time, it also cut off the communication between the north and south sides of the Sa River, which eventually led to Goguryeo being cut into five or six unconnected and irrelevant plates.
At this time, in the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Hengshan City, Yang Ji was discussing matters with the civil and military officials. Yang Ji looked away from the map and asked Hu Lujin: "General Hu Lu, you are most familiar with Goguryeo. Do you know that "Sa How many troops are there in Shuihuishui Plain? Can you tell me a little bit about it? "
Zhou Fashang's lightning-fast series of actions made the situation great, but before the three armies of Goguryeo were finished, Yang Ji had no troops to help him; especially Gaimou City and Shicheng, which were sandwiched in the middle, were under the greatest pressure. Yang Lun was now not only They have to deal with the 50,000-strong army of Eulji Eidek, as well as the 60,000-strong coalition army of Yuan Ziche, the lord of Jian'an City, and Wu Taian, the lord of Qianshan City. Therefore, Zhou Fashang's army is now a lone army deep into the enemy's territory. Too scattered, the situation is really not good.
Hu Lujin stood up and saluted, and introduced to Yang Ji: "Your Majesty, the plain of "Sarsui and Haishui" is the core of the core of Goguryeo. There are Silla and Baekje in the south, so the land and water army remains at 200,000 people all year round. left and right; if you add the city defenders and mixed soldiers who are half peasants and half soldiers, as well as civilian men,
, then there should be more than 600,000 combatable men in this area. "
Yang Ji pondered for a long time, and then asked: "Does the more than 600,000 people General Hulu mentioned include all the men in the "Sashui Haishui" plain? "
"That's right!" Hu Lujin responded and explained in detail: "All the people of Goguryeo are soldiers, and men from sixty to twelve years old are the source of soldiers. Once the center needs to fight, this age group All men must go into battle, and the strength mentioned by the general is based on this military system."
"It's just that the Goguryeo royal family, various major families, and various clans in Lisa still have many slaves who are not officially registered. If slaves of this age are also counted as a source of soldiers, then the south will have more warriors to fight."
At this point in the introduction, Hu Lujin made a summary: "This means that except for 200,000 elite soldiers and an unknown number of slave soldiers from various families in the south, the rest are all rabble. If the elite soldiers are annihilated, those rabble will not even be used. beat."
Yang Ji has been fighting for so many years, and naturally knows that a ragtag group of people can fight against the wind. If there is a head-on confrontation, or the war reaches a stalemate, they will definitely escape first, eventually causing the entire army to collapse. This kind of "soldiers" are fine for defending the city, but if they are brought to the battlefield, not only will they have no effect at all, but they will become a fatal factor for the entire army. He glanced at Hu Lujin and asked again: "What about the deployment of elite troops?"
Hu Lujin cupped his hands and said: "Before the war, Goguryeo deployed 60,000 elite troops on the borders of the three countries. The headquarters of this border army was located in Seoul, south of Pyongyang City, and there were 40,000 elite troops in Seoul. If they were deployed again in Weng The navy in Qian County and Yanping Island should have about fifteen people in the southern frontier army. This army is now controlled by Gao Yue, the envoy of Zuotai who stayed in Pyongyang and the lord of Seoul, and the actual commander of the army is more than ten envoys. The position of ambassador is equivalent to the Turkic captain of ten thousand men."
He also knew that Yang Ji was worried about the safety of Zhou Fashang's lone army, so he went on to say: "In the area south of the Sa River and north of the Xishui River, the total strength of Goguryeo's elite soldiers is at most 70,000. Counting the slave soldiers of all clans in the family, there should be about 130,000. However, these armies are not concentrated together, but are divided into cities and various places. "
Hearing this, Yang Ji was completely relieved. He took out a command arrow and said to Fang Xuanling: "At this point in the war, Lianshanguan has become the hinterland. We only need to leave five hundred soldiers to guard the supplies. Fang Canjun, please immediately report to Yang Shanhui and Gao Xingwen in my name." The next transfer order is for them to lead 3,500 soldiers along the Cao River and Wugu River south to Wugu City to accept the command and arrangements of Zhou Fashang."
"I obey my command!" Fang Xuanling stepped forward to take the order arrow, and went to draw up the order and arrange the messenger.
"The Zhou Fa Shang tribe has no worries for the time being, and there is a main force led by Yang Yichen in the Changgong Ridge and Liaodong City areas. There is nothing to worry about! The most important thing now is Anshi City, which is about to be attacked from the north and south." Yang Ji paused After a while, he said: "Now that Yang Yichen's army cannot move, everything depends on us. We must annihilate Dong Chong's army and Yang Xian's army in the shortest possible time. Then, we can deal with Yuan Ziche. We only need to wipe out these three armies." , we can attack Liaodong City from south to north, and Li Zixiong's army can also cross the river successfully."
"As for Eulji Eideok's 50,000 black-bone army, even if King Teng cannot destroy it, the enemy cannot capture Ansi City, so we can put this army to the end."
On the day of the "handover of military power," Yang Yichen and others made a very detailed battle plan. This was also the main reason why Yang Ji could "play" with confidence. However, as the saying goes, soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable. This sudden change in the war situation made that The combat plan was somewhat out of date, but the overall trend did not deviate much. Yang Ji only needs to make slight changes here, but Yang Yichen doesn't even need to change at all.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!" Ling Jing said with a smile: "The three armies of Goguryeo totaled about 120,000 people. If we include the miscellaneous soldiers and young men who served as heavy troops, the number would be at least 150,000. If they If we form an army and kill towards one target, it will naturally be difficult for our army to fight. However, Gao Yuan and Yuan Ziyou let the army do its own thing and fight on its own, which undoubtedly gave us the opportunity to annihilate them one by one. With us The current strength of the army is enough to easily annihilate the three armies one by one."

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.
In fact, Goguryeo has already suffered several big losses from the "fuelling tactic". How could Gao Yuan and Yuan Ziyou not know that this was a fatal tactic? But they were restrained by the situation and had to bite the bullet and continue to use this fatal method to solve the immediate difficulties.
Hengshan City was an important logistics area captured by Wei Yunqi. Since the city was easy to attack and difficult to defend and had a large amount of supplies, Yang Ji deployed 5,000 Liangzhou troops and 10,000 Xi troops in the city; when he captured After Lishan City, in order to annihilate the three invading Goguryeo forces, 10,000 Liangzhou troops, 5,000 Xiaoguo troops, and 5,000 surrender troops were transferred from the Tanghe camp. If you add all the personal soldiers one by one, the total strength will be 38,000.
In the next battle, even if 10,000 soldiers are left to guard Hengshan City, they still have 28,000 usable troops. If they annihilate the enemy troops heading towards Hengshan City first, they can withdraw half of the defenders. above military strength.
At this moment, a school captain who was on duty hurriedly walked into the lobby, raised a small square red bundle high with both hands, and said loudly: "To your Majesty, King Teng has sent a scout to deliver eight hundred liga of gold." Urgent military situation."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Can quickly took the baggage from the captain, unfolded it, and handed the letter inside to Yang Ji. Yang Ji unfolded the military report on the eucalyptus table, reading ten lines at a glance, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, could it be that Manager Zhou won the battle again?" Xue Ju asked curiously.
"It's not Mr. Zhou, but Prince Teng!" Facing a pair of curious and expectant eyes, Yang Ji said with a smile: "This is a good news from Prince Teng. He ambushed on the "Qianshan-Bisha River" road. Eulchi Eidek..."
"What was the result?"
"How's the battle going?"
"But I wonder what the outcome will be?"
"Your Majesty, is Eulji's moral virtue finished?"
"..."
Everyone was surprised, interrupted Yang Ji in unison, and asked the same question at the same time.
"This ambush was exactly the same as Gao Xingwen's ambush on Gao Xinggong. King Teng wiped out 50,000 enemy troops without spending a single soldier." Yang Ji did not feel dissatisfied, and reported the result with a smile, and gave a general introduction to the battle. Process: "The Qianshan-Bisha River Channel is built along the river bed, with mountains to the north and south of the official road. When King Teng heard that the enemy was invading, he took the initiative to attack and set up an ambush in the middle of the official road. When the enemy entered the ambush circle, the ambush soldiers immediately used stones to cut off the enemy's road and retreat, and then lowered rolling logs and rocks from the mountain. The 50,000 black-bone army led by Eulji Eidek died under the rolling logs and rocks, leaving no one alive. "
Everyone was overjoyed and elated; but Ling Jing was far calmer than everyone else. He was happy, but at this moment he thought of a very critical question and asked Yang Ji: "Your Majesty, the 60,000-strong army led by Yuan Ziche is about to arrive in Anshi City. , but I don’t know how many troops King Teng used this time? Can this army return to the city safely at this time?"
"Ling Canjun asked the key point of the question, but there is no need to worry." Yang Ji said with a smile: "General Manager Zhou heard that Eulji Yide entered the "Qianshan-Bisha River" and was worried that King Teng would not be able to cope with the enemy's north-south attack. He asked Generals Dugu Sheng and Wang Bian to lead fifteen thousand Xiaoguo troops to follow the enemy. When King Teng's ten thousand troops were completely ambushed, they led their troops back to the city as soon as possible; as for cleaning the battlefield, The loot was counted and handed over to the Xiaoguo Army who arrived in time. "
"That's good!" Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief. At this point in the war, the situation and outcome became increasingly clear. To a certain extent, the Sui army had passed the stalemate stage and had initially entered a full-scale offensive. As long as Teng Wang Yang Lun and Li Duan has four gates heading south, and Gao Yuan is unable to fly. If Gao Yuan is captured alive in Liaodong City, everything will become easy.
Encouraged and stimulated by the victory at the Empress City and the victory at "Qianshan-Bisha River", the ambition of civil and military competition and the desire to compete for merit suddenly burst out in the hall. Xue Ju did not wait for anyone to say anything, but stood up first and saluted: "Your Majesty, But I don’t know when our army will go out?"
Yang Ji saw the high morale and high spirits of everyone, and knew that everyone was stimulated. He did not answer Xue Ju's question, but asked Ling Jing directly: "When did Ling join the army?"
Ling Jing looked at the hourglass and said, "Your Majesty, the time has advanced to six quarters."
Has
At six quarters, which is around 10:30 in the morning, it is still very early. There are still many things that can be done today. Yang Ji glanced around the generals and finally settled on Wei Yunqi: "General Wei, Hengshan City There is no room for failure, you and General Chu He will continue to guard this city with 5,000 Liangzhou troops and 5,000 Xi clan elite cavalry."
As he spoke, he put the good news into an envelope and handed it to Wei Yunqi: "At the same time, send someone to send this good news to General Yang Yichen to stimulate them."
"I will obey your orders!" Wei Yunqi responded, somewhat dumbfounded as he stepped forward to take the letter.
Thinking of the word "stimulating", Yang Ji suddenly had an idea. He said to Wei Yunqi: "Later, I will write a letter and ask Yang Yichen to send someone to send Gao Yuan's family scroll back to Liaodong City and give it to the team. We need to make the noise louder; when entering the city, it is best to beat gongs and drums to make the whole city aware."
Everyone was shocked, but those with bright minds quickly understood Yang Ji's intention. Gao Yuan's family papers had been sent back to the base camp. Instead of wasting food, it would be better to use it to shake the enemy's military and people's morale; wait until Liaodong City is captured, is it still easy to capture?
"General, I understand!" Wei Yunqi understood Yang Ji's intention and said with a smile.
After Yang Ji arranged the remaining troops and follow-up matters, he ordered the generals accompanying him: "That's it for the meeting. We will set off at the next hour."
"After you go down, give the soldiers a good meal, and each of them will bring five days of dry food and enough arrows. No mistakes!"
"The last general takes orders!" All the generals responded with a roar and said goodbye.
Yang Ji immediately wrote a letter to Yang Yichen and stamped it with a big seal.
After writing this letter, Yang Ji remembered that Ling Jing once said that Gao Yuan wanted a medal when he was angry, but he felt that the time was not right, so he did not give the medal; Gao Yuan must be very anxious, frightened, and uneasy about food and accommodation. If you give him a medal, you might be able to piss him off to death.
With this in mind, Yang Ji excitedly picked up his pen and wrote another letter of thanks to Gao Yuan, and attached a special medal.
