There are many wheat waves in the north of the Great Wall, and more deserted autumn.
Tonight, all the high-ranking imperial officers who participated in the Eastern Expedition gathered together. Some of them had already cooked a meal, and some had never met before. With the help of this meal, everyone got to know each other and had a great meal. In the presence of Liu Huai, the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition, After half-pushing and half-pushing, I finally began to remove the bowls and chopsticks, getting ready to get down to business.
Mo Jingchun, who had never formed a party, had nothing to worry about and didn't care about Liu Huai's expression. He first performed his duties as a general and asked loudly, "Grand Governor, nearly five months have passed since His Majesty issued the order to conquer Goguryeo. Months of time. Judging from this time, even if the Goguryeo Kingdom eats another meal, it should get some news. But at this time, the Goguryeo Kingdom has made no move in terms of national policy, but it must have been prepared in private, so that it will be confident. Now, Dong The Fifth Army has arrived. In addition to the more than 15,000 Huwei Guards led by Liu Zhonglang, Chen's troops at the foot of Taibai Mountain are close to 150,000. It can be said that they are well-equipped. How to fight this battle? Under the supervision of Dadu!”
Liu Huai was still in charge and was blowing the whistle. When he saw Mo Jingchun asking, although he was still smiling, his smile had gradually become stiff.
Just now I ordered the generals to speak freely, just to be polite in exchange for someone who was "willing to listen to the orders of the Grand Governor"!
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it! There are still people in this world who are so ignorant of current affairs, and they dare to ask questions directly in front of the court!
Chen Buye, who was watching the show, did not think it was a big deal and immediately added, "The general seconded my opinion!"
One person seconded the proposal, and all the generals followed. Mou Yu, Liu Bi, and Sun Yun successively seconded the proposal.
Liu Huai, stunned!
How do I know the specific arrangements for marching and fighting and forming formations?
Besides, shouldn't the arrangements for this kind of matter be handled by the marching Sima and the staff?
Do I need to take action for such a small matter?
In front of everyone, Liu Huai was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand.
Therefore, the young prince's eyes kept glancing at Huan Wen, expecting him to come out to rescue him.
"A fight? A fart!"
Just when Liu Huai was dissatisfied, General Xiangping Liu Qin shouted at the top of his lungs, "I have an army of 150,000 people marching eastward. It has the power of a dragon at the top and a military power below. Early the next morning, the army set out and divided the troops into five groups." Go out and gallop at full speed, Goguryeo does not dare to resist the power of heaven. If it dares to resist even a little bit, hey, when the victory comes, let all the Goguryeo bunch of mud-legged people roll into the Bohai Sea to feed the fish!"
Xiangping General Liu Qin's words were so emotional that Liu Huai couldn't help but exclaim, "General Liu is extremely heroic and worthy of my descendants."
Xiangping General Liu Qin grinned widely and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is serious. Just lie down and listen to the wind and rain. Watch me, Liu Qin, kill the enemy and drink blood for Your Highness. After this battle, the people of Goguryeo will treat Your Highness like a god or Buddha." Worship.”
Liu Huai leaned over the desk and cheered, "Okay!"
Everyone was silent.
...
There are no timid generals in the frontier army of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Qin and Liu Han are the extreme outliers among them.
The origins of these two people can be traced back to the Qin-Han War fifty years ago.
At that time, the princes who had been deprived of their royal title by Emperor Shenwu were ready to make a move. The princes led by Liu Xun, the Marquis of Xuanhuai, Liu Gan, the Marquis of Nanping, Liu Qi, the Marquis of Zhenxi, and Liu Yao, the Marquis of Yan, rebelled and attempted to break away from the Han Dynasty and establish themselves on their own. But he was suppressed and died.
When dealing with the heirs of the rebellious princes, Emperor Shenwu thought of the past friendship and kept an open mind. He let those who could be allowed and cut those who could be cut. As for Liu Qin and Liu Han, they were suppressed by the old Zhao Yao. The son of Liu Xun, the Marquis of Xuanhuai, who was unable to leave Xuanhuai City.
Because Liu Xun, the Marquis of Xuanhuai, failed to successfully raise his troops under Zhao Yao's powerful suppression, no harm was done to the imperial power and the people. In addition, Emperor Shenwu missed the brotherhood, so he simply sent Liu Qin and Liu Han to their infants. In the adoption palace, after they were crowned, they were sent to Liaodong to serve as generals, hoping that they would be able to defend the country and guard the borders, make further achievements, and rebuild the family tradition.
According to seniority, Prince Liu Huai also calls Liu Qin and Liu Han "uncle".
Although the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Chisong are in a line and share the border with Goguryeo, the eastern border has been quiet for decades. Liu Qin and Liu Han neither had Mou Yu's great achievements in quelling the Le'er rebellion, nor Mo Jingchun's early alarm. With a brilliant name, Sun Yun was not protected by the Bozhou Sun family, and she was smart and wise. After the death of Emperor Shenwu, these two brothers with mediocre talents seemed to have disappeared and were no longer respected. The court paid attention.
Over time, the reputation of General Fantong was firmly established by these two people.
Looking at what Liu Qin said today, Mo Jingchun, Mou Yu, Sun Yun, Liu Bi, Chen Buye and other generals are even more convinced that the title of these two generals is not in vain!
It’s the real deal!
...
Following the compliment from Prince Liu Huai, the venue fell into a very brief moment of silence and embarrassment.
The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. Liu Huai's praise made everyone have some strange and unexplainable thoughts.
A group of people didn't know what to say or how to say it.
Liu Huai also noticed something strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Huan Wen noticed the psychological changes of the generals, and felt that although this battle was bound to be won, he should make a strategic plan to send troops at this time, otherwise it would be a bit trivial.
So, Huan Wen's eyes moved, and he suddenly burst out laughing in the silent Chinese army tent, saying, "General Liu has the courage to move forward, which is a blessing to the people in the east. But when marching to fight, preparations before the battle must be made." Yes, since the Grand Governor has just taken over the military power, we naturally need to fulfill our responsibilities as ministers, talk about military affairs and share the worries and doubts of the Grand Governor, so that the Grand Governor can have a strategy in mind and capture the Kingdom of Goguryeo at the lowest cost!"
After saying that, Huan Wen made a gesture to Liu Huai.
When Liu Huai saw that Huan Wen had built the steps for him, he immediately knew what he was doing. He laughed dryly, raised his hands and said, "This eastern expedition depends on all the generals!"
The atmosphere in the tent finally relaxed.
Subsequently, with Liu Huai's permission, Huan Wen and Wang Biaozhi reported to the generals in detail the army's logistics supplies such as grain, baggage, and weapons.
Under Aunt Lan's instruction, four bonfires were lit in the tent, making the people in the tent blush.
The issue of sending troops also officially started with the lighting of the bonfire.
Liu Huai himself didn't know much about marching and fighting, but the generals under his command were all from a good background. He raised his eyebrows, thought of a plan, and said with a smile, "Generals, this is the new governor here. Although I have read several books on the art of war, , but he has not applied what he has learned. All of you here are famous generals. Regarding the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, I would like to hear your opinions first and make a plan before making a decision!"
Except for Liu Huai's prince's party, all the generals here did not know much about the character of the prince Liu Huai. Liu Huai's sudden "courtesy and virtuous corporal" made the generals present feel flattered, and they felt moved in their hearts that "there is a successor to the great Han Dynasty".
"Grand Governor!" Mou Yu, who was old and strong, spoke first, but he showed a confident smile and said loudly, "The Goguryeo Kingdom is no bigger than our two counties in Bozhou. This time to slay the evil rebels, we, the Han Dynasty, will The five armies on the border marched out together, occupying all the people and people, and victory was a matter of course. The general thought that we should hurry up and take advantage of the terrain and dangerous roads to win with surprise troops."
"Oh?" Liu Huai put his hands on the case and asked with interest, "What is a surprise soldier?"
"The five armies in the east cannot be swarmed at once, they must be divided and attacked."
Mou Yu stood up and walked to the sand table, waving his fingers and saying, "Captain Governor, you personally led the tiger guard with great fanfare, marching twenty miles a day along the edge of Taibai Mountain, advancing slowly, deliberately exposing the army's target to create suspicion; Wu Ci General Sun Hui led his troops to cross Zhiniu Bridge at night, passed through the mountains and forests bordering Goguryeo, destroyed the border fortresses of Goguryeo, and went straight to Wandu City; General Taibai Mo Jingchun personally led his troops to march in concealment, taking advantage of the terrain of the Taibai Mountains that had been stationed all year round. Understand, quickly cross the Taebaek Mountains, raid the northeastern military town of Goguryeo, destroy all the villages, cut off the enemy's food routes, go south to Wandu City, and encircle the capital of Goguryeo together with Wu Ci's army; Wuning's army, led by the last general, crossed the Ji'en River at night , destroying the important grain storage town in the northwest of Goguryeo, opening up the water veins of Wandu City, cutting off water and food, and hunting around to block enemy reinforcements; Xiangping General Liu Qin and Houcheng General Liu Han took the waterway down the Bohai Sea and detoured to Goguryeo Landing on the beach in the south, after entering Goguryeo, the troops immediately divided into two routes and headed north. One road was blocked along the main road to block the retreat of King Gaozhao of Goguryeo. At the same time, it prevented tigers and wolves of the Qin State from rushing to the beach. They burned grain, grass and grain along the way, destroyed enemy strongholds and military garrison sites, and prevented Reinforcements from the Qin Dynasty arrived quickly; with these multiple measures taken together, the Governor-General can defeat the enemy in one battle, and our Han Empire can bring the Goguryeo Kingdom under our control."
Mou Yu had been advising troops in the east for many years and was well aware of the deployment and weaknesses of Goguryeo's troops. This plan was watertight, and even Daqin's possible waterway to aid Goguryeo was included in it, which was amazing.
"Okay! What a six-pronged march and an ambush from all sides!"
Mo Jingchun was the first to speak, stood up and bowed his hands to Liu Huai and said, "Grand Governor, I think that General Mou's attack is so comprehensive that even if the Qin army rushed to the aid of Goguryeo, it would not be able to stop its decline, so I second my opinion. "
Sun Yun, Mou Yu's defeated general, was the second to stand up. His eyes were clear and he cupped his hands and said, "The general seconded the proposal!"
Liu Bi, Li Changhong and Chen Buye had just arrived and were not familiar with the terrain of Goguryeo. The three of them carefully considered the situation around the sand table, looked at each other, and then handed over, "Liu Bi, Chen Buye and Li Changhong seconded the proposal. "
In the military tent, more than half of the voices of support had passed. Liu Huai couldn't help but straighten his body and tap the five fingers of his left hand regularly on the case. Although his face was expressionless, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
Today, I, Liu Huai, am sitting here. All important matters must be decided by me alone. Today, you, Mou Yu, are here gesticulating and stealing the show. Where do you put me, the governor of the Eastern Expedition? Where do you put the military talisman in my hand? Where do you put my Liu Huai's face?
Since the coach thinks this way, even if Mou Yu has a lot of tricks in mind, they will be useless!
Why! Doing good is like ascending, doing evil is like falling!
