It¡¯s the same day. The emperor Yang Kui, who was preparing to attack Goguryeo in Youzhou in the north, finally made a move. Yang Kui divided the more than 1.1 million land troops recruited into Zhuo County into twelve armies on the left and right. Then the first army was ordered to set off. From then on, one army was sent out every day, with a distance of forty miles in front and back, and the departure was not completed until July 5th. The armies are connected head to tail, drums and horns are heard, and flags are connected for nine hundred and sixty miles. His imperial camp finally set off and stretched for another eighty miles. No wonder the ministers who accompanied the army on the expedition were not worried about failure. It was said that this was "the most prosperous military expedition in recent times." Ministers are not worried about failure, but Yang Kui is worried aboutnot failing. From last year's continuous attacks on Annan, Tubo, and Turks to this year's all-out war against Goguryeo, what Yang Kui thought about was not at all about expanding territories or unparalleled martial arts. He had only one purpose - to use war to gradually weaken the rule of law. The military power held by other forces outside the Tianjia royal family laid a solid foundation for his son Yang Yi's succession. ???Looking at the noisy carriages and horses outside the imperial chariot and the waving flags, Yang Kui kept rubbing his sore and tired eyebrows. Yang Kui sometimes finds it ridiculous, because generals from ancient times to the present have racked their brains to win a big victory, but he in turn racked his brains to think of how to win a big defeat. Even more ironic. He couldn't come up with a brilliant idea by himself, and always secretly lamented that Wu Fan, who made this plan, was not around. Yang Kui was extremely helpless. The difference in strength between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo was too great. Yang Kui mobilized more than 1.1 million troops. Not counting the 200,000 naval troops hoarding Qingzhou Donglai, it was just land troops. If he wanted to, he could still get more than ten or two hundred thousand troops from Zhaozhou and Yanzhou in the North, and expand the total number to Really close to the advertised number of two million. Before Yang Kui ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, as an outstanding general, he had experienced and fought in the past. He dared to say that he had 50,000 or 100,000 people even though he had 20,000 people. He dared to say that he had 50,000 people. There are exaggerated things like 200,000 or 300,000 people. This time he didn't dare to go too far. I only made a "slightly" false report for fear of scaring Goguryeo. Otherwise, they would falsely claim an army of five million or something, which would be comparable to the total population of Goguryeo. Goguryeo had about 5 million talented people, how many elite soldiers could it produce? Excluding those over forty-five years old, those under fifteen years old, those with disabilities and illnesses, and those who are women. Even if all the remaining people were armed, the number would only be a few hundred thousand. But can we expect those honest and honest villagers, wealthy merchants, and dignitaries to fight? Stop being ridiculous! Therefore, they have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Goguryeo did not fight alone. King Yingyang cleverly used the allusion from the Central Plains "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold". Inspiring some people from the northern nomadic tribes such as Chuwei and Mohe to help, they obtained about 50,000 cavalry. As for the remaining ones who were unwilling to help them, most of them were driven directly to Huanglong by Wu Fan last year and made a surprise attack on the Turkic tent. Two hundred thousand people were killed in a trap and they were horrified. On both sides of the war, one zero is two or three times more than the other family. How to fight? Yang Kui was troubled. He was afraid that Goguryeo would lie down with just a flick of his finger. "Your Majesty?" Yu Jiawai. came the voice. Yang Kui opened his eyes slightly and said, "What's the matter?" The eunuch Liu Zheming was the eunuch. He walked in carefully and presented a memorial with both hands. There were two military talismans on the memorial and said: "Wu Qiaoqi writes this." "It seems that he has put down the rebellion in Jing and Yangzhou!" Yang Kui was in great spirits. , reached out to take out the memorial and the military talisman, and frowned at the same time: "This is Wu Shouzheng! The war is over, and the military talisman is about to be returned. Are you afraid that I will doubt him?" Putting the military talisman aside, Yang Kui opened the memorial, glanced at it, smiled, and sighed. : "Tsk! God-given general! What did he say?" He knocked on the wall of the carriage and slapped his thigh: "'Guarantee that the rebellion in the south will be subdued, so that your Majesty will conquer Goryeo without any worries'! What he said before the war started is quite sharp. He is very true to his word. Some people were worried and asked before, saying that there was no news from him for more than two months. It was not an accident" Yang Kui was in a good mood. He had rarely spoken for many days and mumbled for a while. Liu Zheming echoed: "Wu Qiaoqi has a bad reputation, but his ability is indeed second to none." Yang Kui's expression changed: "What does a bad reputation mean?" Liu Zheming knelt down in fear.? He said intermittently: "I'm too talkative, but it's just there are many slanderous members of the aristocratic families, and even the nobles are ostracized" Yang Kui looked ashamed and sighed: "Yes! Not to mention the aristocratic noble families and the noble factions , even the patron king doesn't want to see him!" Finally, he added: "It's my fault!" Yang Kui lowered his head and continued to read the memorial. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Bah!" Close the memorial. "Dang Dang Dang" Yang Kui tapped his fingers on the sparse text, thinking deeply. for a long time. Yang Kui said: "The reply to the imperial edict is five words: 'accurate, and the evil will be eliminated'." Liu Zheming bowed and said: "Here!" Plant the seeds, bury them in the soil, water them with fertilizer and wait for them to bloom and bear fruit. With the success of last year¡¯s Emperor¡¯s Draft, Wu Fan planted several seeds, including not only Yang Kui, but also Yuwen Chengxiang, Liaodong Wang Yangjie, Tong Wei, and Yang Xuangan. The seed named "Pan Qiaoyun" planted by Wu Fan next to Yang Xuangan has blossomed and bear fruit. Pan Qiaoyun passed on an important piece of news through the Huang gatekeeper arranged by Wu Fan - Yang Xuangan was serving as the grain inspector in Liyang, and was the first pass of the rear baggage transportation channel for the empire to conquer Goguryeo. Liyang is located in the north of Sili Prefecture and in the south of Jizhou. It was an important place for dispatching civilians and military service during the Sui Dynasty. For a time, it was smokeless and the land was barren. Yang Xuangan drank too much, and the scholar became angry and complained a lot, mostly about his disgust with the empire's conquest of Goguryeo. After Wu Fan saw this information, he was immediately overjoyed. He wrote a letter and sent it to Lan Xiner in Luoyang by Xinying. He ordered Lan Xiner to exaggerate the trap he had set in the book "Hundred Family Surnames". "Two Yangs, who is the elder?" and said that Yang Xuangan had read this book and agreed with it. Wu Fan¡¯s plan has started as scheduled. Of course, these things need time to ferment, and he has to wait patiently for now. (To be continued)
