"They went to Zhouliucheng.""
Where is Zhou Liucheng?
What about the map?
”Su Dawei spread out the map.Xue Shaoyi and Liu Renyuan, as well as a group of generals of the Tang Army, turned their heads over one after another.This is a military meeting.The participants are all the important generals of the Tang Army in Siyu City today."
Here and here, near the sea, near the south."
Xue Shaoyi poked his finger at the map."
Tap, the map is broken, you will pay!"
Su Dawei glared at him.Xue Shaoyi withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.He is sometimes easy to get up, but he is easy to get excited.However, this person is also a capable general, otherwise he would not have taken the position of the governor of Ochong Province and become one of Liu Ren's right-hand men in Baekje.Su Dawei stared at the map, the more he looked at it, the more it looked, and he couldn't help but say, "This place is close to the Baijiang River?"
”"Yes, from here all the way to the west, there is the mouth of the White River, which can be opened to sea ships."
Xue Shaoyi said.White River Estuary?
Su Dawei looked at it twice.According to the map, if the Japanese came, they must have taken a boat from Tsushima Island and then traveled along the coast of Baekje all the way to the northwest.The most suitable and nearest port is the Baijiang Estuary.No wonder, no wonder it was here with the famous "Battle of Baijiangkou" in Datang.Su Dawei had a feeling of sudden realization in his heart.In this battle, it seems that the eldest brother of the Wa Kingdom, the prince, in order to support Fuyufeng, ordered the Wa State Navy to pour out of the nest.Fuyu Feng and the eldest brother seem to be a pair of good friends."
Ami."
Liu Renyuan's voice interrupted Su Dawei's contemplation."
What?""
What do you think?"
The hateful beard of Liu has been developing more and more in the direction of Brother Di Renjie recently, and he will say Ami at every turn, what do you think.What do you think, I'm not Yuan Fang.Wait, Brother Di Renjie doesn't seem to see a person named Yuan Fang next to him, ask him the next time we meet.Retracting his scattered thoughts, Su Dawei coughed and said: "The Baekje rebels are now using Buyeofeng as their banner, but they did not go to other cities, but to Zhouliu City, which is not far from Sixuan, in my opinion, there are two intentions. ”"Go on.""
First, Buyeo Feng is a proton sent by the Baekje royal family to the Wa Kingdom, and he himself has a strong brand of the Wa Kingdom, and supporting Buyeo Feng is greatly beneficial to the Wa Kingdom, so the Wa people must fully support it.Zhou Liucheng, along the Baijiang River is within easy reach, which is convenient for the Japanese people to supply from the sea to support Fuyufeng. ”"Hehe, these Baekje people are not stupid, but they are similar to our thoughts."
Liu Renyuan touched his beard, and his round eyes flashed slightly, as if he was sneering.However, his beard was too big to tell if his mouth was up or down."
Exactly.Even if the Baekje people really block the whole territory, they can't seal the sea behind them, and we can still get a certain amount of supplies by relying on the Tang Dynasty sailors. ”Su Dawei pointed to Zhou Liucheng on the map: "I think that Baekje chose Zhou Liucheng as a stronghold, which is exactly the same as our strategy." ”This is clearly a copying homework.It's like two people playing chess, and the people of Baekje see that the Tang people have taken a step, so they learn to do the same.It can be seen that the people of Baekje still have no confidence in their hearts.That's right, any country that was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty within fifteen days was afraid that its backbone would be broken.Don't look at their joy now, they are still afraid of Datang in their hearts."
You only said the first intention, but what about the second?""
The second is near.It is close to Si Xian City, which shows that they can't wait to use this as a base for advancement, and after the beginning of spring, they will launch an offensive against Si Xuan.However, these Baekje people were not strong-willed, and the stronghold was placed in the position of Baekgang Estuary, which was to leave a way for themselves to retreat.In case it doesn't work out, I still want to go to sea from the Baijiang River and flee to the Japanese country. ”"It's kind of interesting."
Liu Renyuan touched his beard and nodded.After a pause, all the generals in the tent burst out laughing.This is not to despise the Baekje people, but to build on the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, which has its own arrogance.From this kind of deployment of the Baekje people, the subtle cowardice towards the Tang Dynasty and the imitation of the students copying the teacher's homework made the Tang generals laugh.Although, the current situation is very bad.But the generals present obviously had no fear."
The people of Baekje now claim to have an army of 200,000.""
Two hundred thousand to ten thousand.""
After the beginning of spring, the Japanese will definitely send troops.""
The Goguryeo people will not be idle."
Everyone, you say a word to me.Liu Renyuan touched his beard, squinted his eyes, and swept the faces of the generals: "Do you think that our 10,000 is terrible against hundreds of thousands of thieves?"
”"Don't be afraid.""
Why?""
If we can destroy them once, we can destroy them twice!"
Xue Shaoyi clenched his fists and said loudly: "I'm afraid that they won't dare to come, if they come, their subordinates will ask to be the vanguard." ”"Great."
Liu Ren was willing to pat him on the shoulder to strengthen his ambition.The expressions of his subordinates were collected in his eyes, and he said in his heart: The spirit of the generals is still there, and the military heart is available.His gaze fell on Su Dawei again.Seeing that he was not as excited as other generals, but his face was calm and resolute, and he did not seem to be anxious.I can't help but praise in my heart: every time there is a big event, Su Da is a person, he has the posture of a famous general, and his future is limitless.I thought of Su Dawei's proposal that the Tang army shrink to Siyu for strategic contraction.The vision is also outstanding.In fact, retreating to Si Yu was by no means Su Dawei's decision alone.But the Tang army has this consensus.Including Liu Renyuan's heart, he also has the idea of shrinking the front.Our army is small and the rebels are strong, so it is very unwise to disperse the small number of troops at this time.Only when the fist is clenched can it have strength.However, Su Dawei was the first person to put it forward, which still made Liu Renyuan appreciate it very much.Liu Ren is willing to be coarse and fine.The surface is very arrogant, but he is the second generation of the military, and he has also entered the Hongwen Museum to study.It would be wrong to really treat him as a reckless general.In peacetime military strategy meetings, he used to let his subordinates speak, and he used them according to their merits.This is his way of thinking about employing people.Let subordinates make the best use of their talents and make the best use of them."
Fortunately, we retreated to Si Yu at that time, if we are still in Xiongjin now, there are rebels on all sides, and the supply of water is cut off, and the situation is unimaginable."
Among the generals, there is a humane: "Now that we have our backs to the sea, we can attack and retreat, and we can defend our backs, and we are invincible if we are constantly supplied." ”"No, you have to watch out for that."
Su Dawei said: "Our army is not familiar with the climate of Baekje, and we don't know how cold the harsh winter is. ”As soon as he said this, Liu Renyuan's heart sank, and he nodded: "What Ami said is very true, I will leave this matter to the military doctor, and prepare more winter clothes, charcoal and matches, and more ginger soup, and drink some ginger soup to the soldiers who have been rotated to patrol and defend the city." ”Liu Renyuan's decision is naturally supported.It is naturally excellent to make the soldiers below more comfortable, and when the spring is over, they can have a little more combat power."
I now know why Su Dingfang, the general manager, hurriedly returned to Tang with the main force a month after the war."
Su Dawei looked at the map and couldn't help but sigh: "If it is a little later, the heavy snow falls, and it will be inconvenient for the army to move, and now we have 10,000 people, and it is difficult to rely on sea supplies alone."
If it was more than 100,000 troops left at that time, I was afraid that it would be dragged alive. ”Since Liu Renyuan and below, they all deeply believe it.If Su Dingfang did not evacuate with the main force of Datang, it is conceivable that the attrition due to freezing and starvation would be an extremely terrible number.Because of the winter and the wrong monsoon, it is extremely difficult for large ships by sea to transport grain.Even if it can be transported, it will not be able to transport grain and grass for an army of more than 100,000.At that time, either the Tang army will be dragged down, or the logistics supply line of the Tang Dynasty will be dragged down.All of them are caught in strategic passivity.There will be a chain reaction.To put it bluntly, the standing army of the Tang Dynasty is now only 250,000 people.The army of more than 100,000 is already half of the standing strength of Datang.If this group of people folds on the peninsula.Not to mention subduing Baekje and Goguryeo.I am afraid that there will be violent turmoil in the Tang Dynasty.That's right, according to the troop configuration of Zhechong Prefecture, in addition to the 250,000 standing army, there are also 500,000 reserves.In extreme cases, these young men can also be conscripted into the army for emergency mobilization.But that's when the country is threatened with annihilation.Under normal circumstances, the soldiers of the Zhichong Prefecture are on duty every three years, with a standing army of 250,000, and the rest of the young and strong people have to farm at home.Otherwise, where would the food come from?
The standing army has been fighting for several years, and it has to retire to rest and recuperate, so that the reserves can come up.Only by such an alternating cycle can the combat strength of the Tang Army be maintained.Therefore, if Datang loses 100,000 soldiers, there will be a big problem.Su Dingfang saw this precisely because he stepped on the node at every step, and put speed first everywhere.Lightning-fast.Half a moon destroys Baekje.It was pacified in January, and then quickly evacuated, leaving only 10,000 Tang troops to defend it.The rest is up to the Baekje region to protect itself.It seems to be in a hurry, as if the Baekje people were given a chance to rebel in vain.In fact, it is in line with the art of war, first to be invincible, and then to win.The royal family of Baekje was tied back to Chang'an, and the establishment and local government were all scattered.Even if they rebel, their power is not the same as in the past.Datang can destroy Baekje once.It will be able to destroy these people who have been restored countless times.()
