During this period of time, they explored almost all the surrounding areas, and the 70,000-strong army was quite familiar with the terrain.
Zhang Yumeng did not ride a horse, but sat on the rhinoceros. Yang Qian hugged him from behind and exhaled hot breath.
"Yang Qian, when I was studying, I heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty defeated Goguryeo and lost. Is it difficult to defeat him?"
Yang Qian smelled the fragrance of her hair, and his whole head was drooped on her shoulders.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he exhaled a stream of hot breath. Even if Zhang Yumeng wrapped his whole body tightly, he could still feel the majestic heat from Yang Gan.
"Oh, that's good. You, a novice in history, actually know that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did attack Goguryeo, but not once, but three times, but failed every time!"
"Isn't that difficult to fight?"
Yang Gan rubbed his head, shook his head and said, "Whether it's difficult to fight or not depends on the person."
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed to capture Goguryeo because, first of all, it was too difficult to supply the army logistically. At that time, supplies had to travel more than a thousand miles, and he dispatched more than one million people the first time."
"This is more than a million mouths, not counting the food of animals. If we follow the transportation of supplies during the Sui Dynasty, more than one million soldiers must have more than two million civilians to transport supplies, which is more than three million people."
"The civilians also need to eat. It took more than a month just to set off."
Although he was still leaning on Zhang Yumeng's shoulder, Yang Qian's arrogance was not visible at all.
"But I am different. I have wanted to conquer Goguryeo for a long time, but the journey is also very long. It is almost the same as the route taken by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty."
"But I have sufficient logistics support. I built straight roads and tracks to transport supplies. It is very difficult for them, but for me, it is an easy horse."
"Every time they transport a hundred tons of grain and grass, they are lucky to have ten tons left after arriving at the destination. But what about me? When a hundred tons of grain and grass arrive, at least ninety tons are left. This is the power of the track. .”
Suddenly, Yang Gan kissed Zhang Yumeng.
"And thanks to your contribution, you have taken out all the cans. After eating too much meat, the staple food needed by many people has dropped. If a soldier eats one less kilogram of food a day, the extra food will be almost astronomical. "
Zhang Yumeng turned around and said with a smile, "What proportion of food and grass accounts for the war effort?"
"At least 50%!"
Zhang Yumeng chuckled and said, "So I am so awesome."
"Well, you are pretty awesome. You are the best. How about I write a book and biography for you when the world is at peace?"
"Hmph, you can, but you have to satisfy me!"
"By the way, you just said that Emperor Sui Yang had so many people attacking Goguryeo, how could he still fail? There were more than three million people, and every one of them could drown Goguryeo."
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "I have always believed that large-scale army operations are not a problem, but measures must be adapted to local conditions and cannot be applied mechanically."
"You have also seen the harsh natural conditions of Goguryeo. The terrain is narrow and there are many mountains. It is very unlikely to launch a large-scale corps battle here. If there are too many troops, it will be detrimental to the battle."
"However, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, he sent out troops ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions at a time. With such a huge force, it was difficult to exert numerical superiority in Goguryeo, which has a narrow terrain and numerous mountains. Being able to rely on wheel warfare to attack Goguryeo greatly reduced the Sui army's combat effectiveness."
"Furthermore, the climate in Liaodong is cold. During Emperor Sui Yang's three attacks on Goguryeo, countless soldiers died of frostbite due to climate reasons. As a result, war weariness arose among the soldiers. This also became an important factor in the Sui Dynasty's difficulty in conquering Goguryeo. one of the reasons."
"The most disgusting thing is that when Emperor Sui Yang attacked Goguryeo, there was a rebellion in the country and there were people in the court. Because there were no talents, Emperor Sui Yang had no choice but to lead the expedition himself."
"But looking at Goguryeo at that time, there were so many famous ministers and generals."
"Since ancient times, when fighting a war, the right time, place, and people must be favorable. Even if there is less, it will not be a big problem. Other means can also be used. But the Sui Dynasty lost all three points, so how can it not lose the war?
Jingguan was also built. "
"It's really embarrassing to go to grandma's house."
Yang Qian seemed very aggrieved by Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo.
If I were in that era...it's a pity that history doesn't have ifs.
"Then we have the right time, place and people." Zhang Yumeng didn't understand the war and was very worried about Yang Qian's safety, so if he didn't understand something, he would naturally ask.
If he doesn't answer, he will yell with a pitiful expression, "You are mean to me!!!"
"Nonsense, our caravan died in the hands of the Goguryeo people. Although it is just a small matter, I let the news ferment and make everyone angry."
"He also preached internally that if there were not enough slaves, corvee service would be required again. In the head of Guizhou, Yuntong County, the people did not want to do corvee service, so of course they supported the attack on Goguryeo."
"Furthermore, grain and grass are our strength. I have worked hard to fatten the land, fertilize it, farm it, and raise livestock. It has been prepared long ago, and the roads are smooth."
"Every time before he goes out to fight, he cheers up the soldiers. When he gets military merit, he gets a promotion and a salary increase, becomes a CEO, marries Bai Fumei, and reaches the pinnacle of his life."
"If we talk about the climate, Luoyang in ancient times is now the place of Shangguo. What kind of place is that? The land of the Central Plains, the birthplace of China. The climate is so good."
"But we are from the north and are naturally more tolerant of cold weather. When we go to Goguryeo, there are no problems with the climate."
"Although the current cotton production is worrying, don't forget that the sheep outside the customs are almost full, and the wool is almost piled up into a mountain. There are wool clothes, wool coats, wool cotton socks, wool gloves, and it's still cold. What a hairy guy."
Listening to Yang Qian's well-founded words, Zhang Yumeng even felt that even if he fought, he would definitely win.
"Damn, you are indeed a seller of big swords. You are so talkative. You told me that I want to go to war."
Yang Gan's head was full of black lines and he wondered, "Can you speak? What do you mean by selling a big sword? It's a health product. Good or not. It's not the same thing. I'm going to sell a big sword. What kind of trouble is this? I'm not a duck."
"Pfft~~What a fool!"
The two sat together, talking and laughing along the way. Yang Qian took the opportunity to popularize some war attempts to Zhang Yumeng.
If she were a vase, then naturally she would only have the ties of her hometown.
But Zhang Yumeng is a talent, and a talent that transcends this era.
Yang Qian had a dream in his previous life to have a wife for himself. Her position is not a vase.
It is best to be a comrade in your own life, and the two of you can work together to defeat reality.
She has her strengths, and she has her own shortcomings, which can make up for each other.
Zhang Yumeng is such a person. She has mechanical and chemical knowledge that transcends this era, and what she has learned is very complicated.
There are many things that cannot be solved at once. In the final analysis, there is not enough grounding.
This time, she took advantage of this opportunity to let her experience it personally, which would provide good practical knowledge for the future development of new weapons.
Practice is the truth.
I have to say that there are indeed great people in the royal city of Goguryeo who specially chose to hold a banquet today.
Some time ago, the wind was howling and the weather was so cold that I couldn't urinate outside as it would freeze my dick off.
What now? It was cloudless, the sun was rising, and the temperature seemed to have risen a bit.
Because he was afraid of the problem of observation by the city wall guards, he needed to control his march and advance neither too fast nor too slowly.
Goguryeo has been running the royal city for hundreds of years, and a slight negligence may lead to failure.
At this time, the royal city was already bustling with activity, but in the inner palace, the Great Martial God King looked at the old man in front of him with a smile.
"Da Dui Lu, what do you think of this matter?"
The old man was very thin, wearing an expensive mink scarf, and held his hands in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. The army is out fighting the rebellion, and the weather is cold. Treating the soldiers with a banquet will help them stay loyal to the King, but..."
The old man paused and didn't say another word.
The nose of the great warrior king
He was so angry that he was originally in a good mood today, but this old boy didn't know if his brain was kicked by a donkey. He hurriedly came to trouble him, but he praised himself and didn't finish his words.
"It's just what? It's a big apartment. If you have something to say, you can speak out. I'm not the kind of person who can't listen to what I say."
The corners of Dawu Shenwang's mouth twitched, but he still had to comfort him.
The old man was a loyal minister of Goguryeo. Although he often contradicted himself and made himself very embarrassed, his ability was there after all.
I don’t know when to change this damn temper.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to entertain the soldiers at a banquet, but it is too shabby. This year Xuantu County and Liaodong County occasionally have a bumper harvest and rich products. It is better to reward the soldiers with some meat. This will boost morale."
The Great Martial God King suddenly realized that this old boy was waiting for him here.
King Dawu looked troubled and said, "It's a pity that it's too late for Da Dui. If you prepare now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
...
The old man raised his lips and said with determination, "Haha, it's actually simple. If you tell the soldiers that there is meat, the soldiers will help. If the scene is lively, the soldiers will be grateful."
After a pause, the old man took a step forward and whispered, "Sheepskins can also be made into winter clothes. After they are fed and clothed, and when the weather is calmed down, the soldiers will have the strength to go to Sanhan."
The Great Martial God King shrank his eyes and looked at the old man, but the old man still looked like a sleepy old man.
"How did you know?"
The old man did not say how he knew, but instead analyzed, "There are 200,000 troops in Haoqi. When they come back, they will definitely not be able to go to Sanhan immediately. They will naturally have to garrison them."
"It's not bad to be able to return an army of 50,000,000. This army will definitely be exhausted. This will require the army in the royal city to go to Sanhan."
"With the blessing of meat, are you afraid that they won't work hard?"
The Great Martial God King nodded involuntarily, and I had to say that what the old boy said was reasonable.
But how is it possible for him to produce so much meat? How many sheep can he get for an army of 100,000 people?
