"It's useless if I don't support it, those 200,000 are barbarian soldiers, who grew up fighting the autumn wind on the border since childhood, and have developed the habit of plundering in battle, not to mention that I, who is thousands of miles away, can't even control the generals who lead the troops."
Wu Zhao glanced at her husband, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I knew that this was the case, why did I bother to use this group of people in the first place?"
How good are our Datang soldiers, at least they won't kill innocents indiscriminately, if you destroy the country, you will destroy the country, how innocent are the local civilians?
”Du Shaoqing pulled Wu Zhao to sit down and comforted: "If you can use the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, it is naturally the best, but wasn't it impossible at that time?"
Don't worry, in the era of territorial unification, casualties are inevitable, and when Goguryeo becomes a place for us in the Tang Dynasty, let's treat the people there well and let them live a rich life, then all the suffering now is worth it.I have heard that under the rule of Goguryeo, the people are also in dire straits, and the Yuangasu army is not only warlike, but hundreds of people freeze to death and starve to death every winter, waiting for us to rescue them. ”I don't know if Du Shaoqing is fooling his little daughter-in-law now, I always feel that what he said is half-true.How could Wu Zhao be so easy to fool?
After noticing the abnormality, he found a flaw after a little thought, stood up and exclaimed: "No, don't be sloppy with me, you seem to have said just now that the 200,000 barbarian soldiers who attacked Goguryeo this time can only survive 30%.If you feed the war with war, it is the situation of the victor, it is impossible to suffer such a large number of casualties, husband, tell me the truth, what is your real purpose?
”Yes?
Is it?
Did I say that?
You heard me wrong, I didn't say it!
Du Shaoqing quibbled vaguely.Wu Zhao slapped his hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "You said, don't fool me, I am fully responsible for the logistics of the rear in this big battle, if you even hide it from me, you can find someone to manage the Chamber of Commerce in the future, and I will go home and take the child." ”"Hahaha, madam, it seems that we need to work hard to have one before we can have a child."
Du Shaoqing snorted haha.Wu Zhaoqiao's face was slightly red, and he immediately stared straight at Du Shaoqing, the meaning was obvious, if he didn't confess, he wouldn't be able to pass this level today.Well, well, you won, I confess!
Du Shaoqing pressed Wu Zhao on the chair again, and said in a heavy tone: "If the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty absolutely do not attack, then the 260,000 barbarian soldiers will have less than a fifty percent chance of destroying Goguryeo, after all, Goguryeo is a country that can block the nearly one million well-trained troops of the former Sui."
With a hastily assembled team, it was okay to carry out a sneak attack, but the battle was set up head-on, and there was basically no chance of victory.What's more, the soldiers and horses we borrowed, the weapons are backward, the tactics are single, etc., which is why I came to you today, if you want to win this war, from today onwards, we will no longer transport grain and grass, and all manpower and material resources will be changed to transport weapons and armor. ”What???"
Transporting weapons?
Do you still want to send weapons over to help him slaughter them?
”Wu Zhao looked at her husband in front of her in disbelief, how did she feel more and more strange?"
When our weapons are transported over, it should be the threshold where they are blocked by Goguryeo and the war is frustrated.You don't want our hard-working plan to destroy the country to end up failing, do you?
Rest assured, I've already thought of countermeasures to reduce civilian casualties there. ”Du Shaoqing persuaded hard, Wu Zhao finally calmed down, she is not the kind of little woman who doesn't know the overall situation and only knows how to be a woman, she has the qualifications to be the empress, and sometimes she can see more clearly than Du Shaoqing."
Well, since the husband has decided, then I will listen to you.But you have to tell me what can be done to reduce casualties. ”Wu Zhao asked.After hesitating for a moment, Du Shaoqing said truthfully: "I have already sent someone to deliver the message, and asked the third brother to inform the leaders of the Khitan and other countries that during the war, the Tang Dynasty will collect slaves, count them according to the head, and the price of a slave will be clearly marked, and how much will be collected, and finally it will be settled with their military expenses." ”"You're crazy!
I really didn't expect you to be such a person?
Provoke a war and kill people, not to mention, now even the slave trade has to be done, I Wu Zhao is blind and married to a ruthless and vicious despicable person, do you still have humanity?
”Wu Zhao was really stimulated, she lived a miserable life in her childhood, and had seen countless tragedies in Chang'an City, especially those private slaves, official slaves, etc., so she hated and hated the slaves very much.Seeing that his wife was about to run away, Du Shaoqing panicked, and said in his heart that he was an anxious child, and he hadn't finished speaking."
Isn't that a curve strategy?
First of all, use this reason to help the local people save their lives, otherwise how can those soldiers take the initiative to stop the massacre?
After the war, even if the whole of Goguryeo is our slave, it doesn't matter, let's restore their status as free civilians in a word, not only take the land, but also clean up the hearts of the people by the way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
”Wu Zhao: After listening to Du Shaoqing's introduction, Wu Zhao stood on the spot, pointing at her husband and being speechless for a long time.After a long time, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, kicked Du Shaoqing and said angrily: "It's all you, why are you hiding these things from me?"
It would have been nice if you had told me everything earlier, it would have cost people all their makeup" "Didn't you expect it in advance?
The solution that came to mind when something happened, do you think your husband is Zhuge Liang's kind of demon who counts the world?
”Du Shaoqing smiled."
Hmph, still don't admit it?
In my opinion, you are not much better than Zhuge Liang, isn't the Goguryeo country counted to death by you this time?
”Wu Zhao, who was sober-minded, regained his composure.Du Shaoqing smiled and said: "Madame is not bad, she can complete the logistics and grain and grass affairs of the 300,000 troops on the front line alone, which is comparable to the prime minister of the court, if you let Your Majesty know, I will invite you to the court to be a big official." ”"You don't praise me, don't think I don't know, you are a means to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let the three northern tribes send troops, and also take the opportunity to weaken them, maybe one day you will find a way to clean them up."
Wu Zhao didn't have a good airway.Du Shaoqing said embarrassedly: "Ahem, there is a way to see through it and not to say it, now we are allies with others, who are we when it is spread out?"
”"Have you calculated, with the financial resources of our Chamber of Commerce, we really bought the lives of the people of Goguryeo, I really can't do it.""
Haha, so I offered them a little lower.""
That's not going to work again, if the price is low, they will not take human life seriously again," Wu Zhao was full of worries.Du Shaoqing explained his plan in detail, which roughly means that the price is set reasonably, there is both temptation and no overspending, and when the payment is made afterwards, it is not real money to dig out, and it can be discounted into the goods circulated by the Chamber of Commerce.In this way, the cost has been greatly reduced inside and out, especially the generals and officials at the upper level of those tribes, who like Datang to sell expensive luxury goods in the past, and after a calculation, in fact, the Chamber of Commerce only provided this group of people with food and drink for a big war, and a batch of unsalable extruded goods in Datang, which is simply a profitable deal.After listening to this explanation, Wu Zhao was relieved, and he also put forward a lot of suggestions to check and fill in the gaps in this plan, and strive to make the barbarian profiteers to the extreme.In fact, Du Shaoqing still has reservations, he doesn't dare to tell his true thoughts and plates, until now, he and the Du He brothers know the whole plan.When Chang'an City was boiling and arguing about the Northeast War, the two parties on the battlefield had already begun to scold their mothers.Especially on the Goguryeo side, the cold was smoked behind him, and when Yuan Gaisu personally led the army north to exchange fire with the enemy, it was already the last big city and new city two hundred and eighty miles north of Liaodong City.Looking at the 110,000 troops under the city, Yuan Gaisu's originally solemn face suddenly relaxed, and at this moment he seemed to understand something.The banner of the 110,000 army is a bit messy, and most importantly, why are they all Khitan and Yan soldiers?
The leader is the banner of Datang?
Thinking of everything that happened before, Yuan Gaisu understood, it turned out that everything was a trick of the Tang Dynasty, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and the Tang Dynasty was ostensibly trying to attack under the Liaodong City, but in fact, he wanted to use these alien soldiers and horses as a substitute for the dead ghosts, so vicious.What he wanted to scold more in his heart was these brainless barbarian leaders, didn't he know what it meant to be a conspiracy against the enemy?
If Goguryeo is really destroyed, the lips and teeth are cold, and the Tang Dynasty will leave you small countries?"
Da Zheng Lu, the enemy army is more than 100,000 people, we only have 50,000 elite soldiers, do we stick to the new city or" One of his generals said tentatively, the implication was to advise not to rush forward, after all, 50,000 people to regain the lost territory is a bit weak.Yuan Gaisu said with a calm expression: "First stabilize the defense of the new city, you immediately go to General Yizhide in Liaodong City, transfer 50,000 troops over, and we will join forces of 100,000, not only to recover the lost territory, but also to leave all the corpses of these miscellaneous soldiers under the city on the territory of Goguryeo." ”"What?
Transferring troops to Liaodong City?
How does this work?
200,000 Datang under Liaodong City""Fool, if Datang really had 200,000 troops, it would have attacked the city a long time ago, where would it use more than 100,000 barbarian soldiers and horses to attack the hinterland of Goguryeo?
Believe my judgment, Datang is bluffing under Liaodong City, they have a maximum of 50,000 horses. ”Yuan Gaisu rebuked angrily.The general didn't believe it, 50,000 people falsely claimed 200,000?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How can such a thing be concealed from General Etojide?
Seeing that his subordinates still didn't believe it, Yuan Gaisu patiently explained, "You go and tell General Yizhide that Liaodong City can leave 50,000 troops to defend it, even if Datang really has 200,000 troops attacking the city, it is impossible to capture it overnight, and we will have time to return from Xincheng to help."
Now there is a group of hungry wolves under the city, and if the lost land is in their hands for one more day, our people will suffer one more day of rage, and even if we rescue it, it will be full of holes.Datang hehe, what kind of state of etiquette, hurting people with tigers and wolves, how despicable!
”In the end, it turned into Yuangaisu's self-talking scolding.The general nodded thoughtfully, and immediately turned to transfer troops.After Yizhide got the news, he slapped his forehead and shouted that he had made a mistake, and he was deceived by Li Ji.He didn't need to explain too much, he knew how to send troops back to help, and he didn't care whether Li Ji under the city would really attack the city, because he was confident that he would leave 50,000 troops and hold on for at least five days.On the Tang side, the scouts came to report that Liaodong City had divided its troops to help, do you want to attack the city?
Li Ji observed the situation in Liaodong City opposite with a solemn face, and said to his subordinates with a sigh: "Pass the order, and stare at the opposite side without moving."
Immediately spread the news of the enemy's return to Buyeo Castle, and find a way to warn the front-line army, I am afraid that the front-line attack will be frustrated. ”And Xue Rengui's side has an army of 110,000 people, fighting hundreds of miles, no less than ten large and small cities, and less than 10,000 people in battle, which can be said to be like a rainbow.It's just that the quality of this army is really not very good, and every battle is purely won by numbers, and the transmission of orders cannot be done at all, which makes Xue Rengui and others very distressed, and the two sides have been running in for more than ten days, and they can only be used, in Xue Rengui's words, such an army, fighting a hard battle like positional warfare, I am afraid it is not optimistic.In the past few days, several generals under his command have also been extremely angry, and from time to time they have found Xue Rengui's handsome account to complain about their dissatisfaction."
Damn, this group of barbarian soldiers is too disobedient to discipline, strictly ordering them not to kill innocents indiscriminately, they just can't stop it, except for not daring to kill people in front of me, they dare to do anything, I punished a batch with my own hands.Xue Junshi, if we don't kill people and establish power, if we continue like this, even if we finally defeat Goguryeo, it will be a big trouble for us to govern it, everyone is dead, what's the use of asking for land?
”As soon as Cheng Chumo entered the tent, he began to complain.At this time, there were actually several generals gathered in the tent, all of whom were here for this.Xue Rengui listened quietly and motioned for Cheng to sit silently in his seat."
It's still the same sentence, it's not the soldiers and horses we trained, we only have the right to command, and we can't kill people.Our Datang's military law, if applied to them, will only backfire. ”"Hey!
What a grievance!
We are the generals who command the army, and now we are spoiling this group of goods as if we were serving the uncle. ”Cheng Chumo said angrily."
Get Lao Cheng, point to them to work obediently, you can dissipate your anger.If you kill someone, they may immediately lie down and stop doing it, and if they don't make a good scene, they will rebel collectively and stab you in the back while you are drunk," Yu Chi Baolin said with a smile.Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng Chumo excitedly: "Who is drinking?"
Alcohol is forbidden in the army, but my old Cheng is a strict adherent to military rules, and he has not drunk a drop since the start of the war, so don't lie to good people out of thin air. ”"Ahem, yes, yes, you're a good person!
A good guy who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol.I'm just giving you an example, if you didn't drink it, you didn't drink it, what are you doing so excited?
Besides, even if people don't take advantage of you being drunk and do it while you're asleep?
Are you afraid?
”I'm here
