When conquering Goguryeo, Yang Guang had the most power, followed by Yu Wenshu and Lai Huer, and then Yu Zhongwen.
In other words, what these four people say is best.
Yu Zhongwen recognized Li Jing's concerns, but it was not easy to move the soldiers in the Bei Shen Mansion. They were pure imperial guards and would not be moved unless absolutely necessary.
But this time it was unexpected. Yu Wenshu agreed and said that after His Majesty arrives in Zhuojun, he will ask whether the left and right Preparations can be mobilized to attack Liaodong City.
First of all, Yu Wenshu knew the emperor very well and knew that the emperor had absolute confidence in the elites of Beishen Mansion. He believed that there was no strong city in the world that Beishen Mansion could not defeat.
Furthermore, Yu Wenshu still wanted to take the risk. If the main force was defeated, the emperor would inevitably withdraw his troops. During the withdrawal, the Eastern Turkestan Shibi Khan, who had a private agreement with him, would attack the king's division and prepare himself on both sides. If the government can attack Liaodong, it will cause great losses, making it easier for the Turks to attack by surprise.
By then, Yang Jian, who is accompanying the army, will definitely be used, because in the most dangerous times, a father will only believe in his son.
But Shibi Khan had one condition: the Great Sui Dynasty must be defeated, not even a small defeat. He would not dare to send troops for a small defeat.
The person responsible for contacting Shibi Khan was the son of a friend who had a life-long friendship with Yuwenshu. His friend entrusted his son to him before his death. This person came from the Zhao family in Tianshui and was named Zhao Deyan.
"Grandpa, I still think the risk is too great," Yu Wenhuaji, the eldest son of the Grand Manager of Zhuo County, advised.
He knew what his father wanted to do, but he was a little afraid to do it.
This group is not very brave and has not reached the level of regicide in history.
Yu Wenshu soaked his feet and said in a deep voice: "I have to do it. I have to do this in my life, but I have to think about you brothers. Yang Ming can't touch me, but after I die, you I’m afraid not even a whole corpse will be left behind.”
"This thief is so hateful. I always feel that he has been deliberately targeting us, but we have never provoked him before?" Yu Wenhuaji couldn't understand it at all, because in the early days, Yang Ming was still the king of Qin, and his sister had not yet married Yang. When he was a child, Yang Ming had always been at odds with his family.
Hatred has to come from somewhere, right? Huaji never understood how his family and Yang Ming became enemies.
Because of Chen Shuyi? No, Chen Shuyi doesn't have the ability to instigate Yang Ming to have a grudge against the Duke.
Zhao Deyan, who was sitting quietly aside, was still very young, in his early thirties. He and Hua Ji and his brothers were the only insiders.
And he knew that it was too late to stop now. The East Turks already had Yu Wenshu's handle. If he didn't want to do it, he had to do it now.
Otherwise, once he tells Princess Kehe Dunyicheng about this, Yuwenshu's family will be executed.
Only Yang Zhen can save him.
This was a dangerous deal, but Zhao Deyan also knew that Yu Wenshu had no choice but to do so.
"Don't be anxious, Sir. This matter can actually be done flawlessly," Zhao Deyan said: "If our army wants to be defeated, it must be along the main force. Once the main force is defeated, the armies on the east and west routes must withdraw, and the army in the rear must have food and grass. Unfortunately, we don’t have the strength to fight anymore. In Goguryeo, the war must cease once the rainy season comes in August, otherwise the Liaoxi Corridor will be flooded and His Majesty will not be able to retreat even if he evacuates."
Due to geographical conditions, the most suitable time for Goguryeo to use troops is from March to August every year. If it is early, it will be too cold for the guards to bear. If it is too late, the rainy season will begin, and the swamps in the Western Liaoning Corridor will be filled with pools and pools, making it difficult to march.
Therefore, this expedition of the Sui Dynasty must be completed before August. If it is not completed, the troops will have to withdraw.
Yu Wenhuaji said in a deep voice: "How easy is it to lose? The more than 300,000 vanguard troops are all equipped with refined weapons and are almost invincible. I was too anxious at the beginning and shouldn't have contacted Shibi so early. Now it's better. Who would have thought that Yang Ming could transform technology and create refined steel. I tried it when I was practicing in the camp. Two thousand refined infantry with full armor were surrounded by 6,000 people and could not break the formation. ah."
Yu Wenshu also had a helpless look on his face. He had already contacted and planned this matter very early, and he never expected that there would be a major technological breakthrough in the smelting process at this juncture.
After Shibi heard about it, he asked him to find a way to help get a batch. Now that he was giving someone a handle, he naturally had to do it, so he bought a batch privately and smuggled it to East Turkestan.
He is now riding a tiger and can't get off. Yang Jian can't get up, and their family has designated the end of the game.
"No matter how good the armor is, it will be of little use if there is a strategic mistake," Yu Wenshu said solemnly: "As long as Lai Hu'er and I cannot successfully join forces in July and cannot defeat Pyongyang, this battle will undoubtedly be defeated."
After saying that, Yu Wenshu looked at Zhao Deyan: "Now that the matter is over, Deyan will help me bring a generous gift, pretend to be a caravan, and send it quietly to the Turks' tent to reassure Shibi. If this battle does not go well, we must let him go." This person cannot be betrayed to me."
Zhao Deyan said: "Uncle, don't worry. This person has great talent, high ambitions, and is extremely dissatisfied with Your Majesty. He will never give up cooperation with you just because of one mistake. In my opinion, even if he captures Goguryeo, he will never give up." I won’t betray you either.”
If the Sui Dynasty captured Goguryeo, the next most dangerous thing would be the Turks. At that time, Shibi would never give up such an important internal response as Yu Wenshu.
Yu Wenshu nodded. He was actually leaning towards this. After all, he held a high position and played a huge role in Shibi. Even if this plan failed, there would still be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
But in his heart, he was also very disappointed, because he was betraying his country, and he didn't want to do this, but he was forced by Yang Ming.
Now everyone in the world knows that the prince does not like their family. Once he succeeds to the throne in the future, the Yuwen family will be in disaster.
On March 18, Yang Guang arrived in Zhuojun successfully.
Yang Jian also followed this time, but he was not qualified to participate in military affairs. He was just an idler and stayed with his mother all day long.
During the discussion in the lobby, Yu Wenshu expressed Li Jing's thoughts and explained that he also believed that the left and right Beishen Mansion should be the main force in the attack.
Will Yang Guang agree?
No, the lives of a million troops are not worth his life. As the imperial guards who protect his safety, there is absolutely no way they can move.
"The six-pronged army, 150,000 people, can't take Liaodong City?" Yang Guang said with an ugly face.
Seeing this, Hu Sizheng hurriedly stood up and said: "The momentum is like breaking bamboo. Although Liaodong City is a solid fortress, it is an isolated city in the north of Goguryeo. I think that if I am surrounded by 150,000 troops, I will surrender without fighting."
Yang Guang smiled and nodded: "I deeply agree."
Su Wei frowned and looked at Hu Sizheng and said: "Liaodong City is the frontline of the Fan Kingdom. We must try our best to protect it. How can we surrender easily? How dare you say such a firm word about a major military matter?"
Hu Sizheng did not dare to speak after being reprimanded by Su Wei.
It has always been taboo to talk all the time when discussing military affairs, because the war is unpredictable and unpredictable. Husizheng certainly knows this. If the emperor is not here, he would not dare to say this, but the emperor is here, because he This sentence is to flatter the emperor.
The Sui Dynasty used millions of troops, unprecedented in ancient and modern times, but no one dared to say that the attack on Liaodong City would go smoothly.
Yu Zhongwen suddenly felt that Hu Sizheng could not be allowed to go to Liaodong. Is this guy unreliable?
However, Yang Xuangan, who was a good friend of Husi's government, came to the rescue: "Why do you need to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? My Majesty, the Sui Dynasty, led a million-strong army to the north. Where is the injustice in the world? It's just a mere country, which is insignificant."
You idiot, Yang Yue gave Xuangan a hard look. You have to pay attention to your flattery. These words will make all the military generals look down on you.
They would think that Yang Su's son was a layman.
You really embarrass your father.
However, Yang Guang was quite impressed and nodded and said: "Xuangan's words are not bad. How does Goguryeo compare with the old Chen? It's far from good. However, I destroyed Chen in the Sui Dynasty with only 500,000 soldiers. This time to use troops to conquer the country, it is already a sledgehammer." chicken."
Yang Guang, who has been doing 1VN for many years and carrying out large-scale construction projects, has become more and more swollen. He is no longer the cautious and cautious King of Jin Yang Guang before, because no one in this world can check and balance him.
Once a person has no restraint, it will be terrible.
This is like you who have a mortgage, and you who don't have a mortgage, one is timid and the other is reorganizing the workplace.
Niu Hong saw something was wrong, and his thoughts coincided with Yu Zhongwen's, and he said directly:
"Hu Sizheng is also the minister of the Ministry of War. At present, the logistics support of our army needs to be improved. I think that he should return to the Ministry of War for dispatch, and his army should be handed over to the deputy general manager Tu Wanxu."
It was obvious that Niu Hong couldn't trust Hu Sizheng's frivolous words just now, so he asked for a change of general.
Yu Zhongwen hurriedly echoed before the emperor could speak: "I agree, logistical support is the top priority. Duan Wenzhen is going to attack Fuyu now. On the Ministry of War, the burden on Minister Mingya is too heavy. Hu Sizheng should respond Coordinated by the headquarters.”
Now it's better. Hu Sizheng's heart was full of regrets. After making a mistake, two big bosses came out to oppose him. Needless to say, he, the general manager of the march, could not be saved.
Indeed,
Yang Guang nodded and said: "What the Second Minister said is true, then let Husizheng return to the Ministry of War and protect the rear with Mingya. There is no room for failure."
Hu Sizheng could only accept the order.
As for Tu Wanxu, the deputy general manager who replaced him, he was actually many times more powerful than him. The reason why he was attacked this time was because he had made mistakes before.
Yang Guang killed He Ruobi, and Tu Wanxu was one of the people who complained about He Ruobi. Because of this, he was implicated and was directly dismissed from office. This time when he attacked Goguryeo, Yang Guang remembered his former subordinate.
Yes, Tu Wanxu was a die-hard supporter of Yang Guang during the Jin Dynasty. This man participated in the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Chen, and his title was Gucheng County Duke.
Right now, he is in the lobby. He is from Daijun (Dai County), Shanxi, and of the Xianbei ethnic group.
"Gong Gucheng," Yang Guang said.
Tu Wanxu stood up and said, "I'm here."
"I appoint you as the general of Youtun (to take over Su Wei), and order you to succeed Hu Sizheng and be the general manager of the Sushen Road march. You will be the governor of Wei Yunqi, Qu Tutong, Yu Wenhuaji, Ashina Danai, The Ministry of History will send troops today to conquer Liaodong."
"The last general takes orders!" Tu Wanxu said loudly.
