The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1176 I have a bold idea

"Xuan Hou thinks this is feasible?" Xue Rengui asked.

"It's feasible, but the time is too short. Once a decision is made, it will be prepared overnight. Moreover, it is definitely too late to send troops from Liaodong. Therefore, only Feige will send a letter to Anshi City, and Gao Huanquan will send troops." Xuan Shijing said : "Only in this way can I barely catch up, it's just the Goguryeo soldiers under Gao Huanquan"

"That's right, Gao Huanquan's soldiers in Anshi City are indeed not as elite as the defenders of Liaodong, but they are still capable of fighting against the defenders of Dahang City today." Xue Rengui said.

"Siege the city, at least three times the strength of the defenders." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "To attack Dahang City, we still implement the strategy of leading troops."

"Pioneer strategy?" Xue Rengui was puzzled.

"That's right, select elite soldiers and attack overnight." Xuan Shijing said: "Even if you fail, you can attack the city immediately the next morning. It's just a tired army against the recharged defenders in Dahang City. Not sure about the outcome."

"No matter what, this is an opportunity, worth a try." Xue Rengui said.

The main reason is that the main force to fight Dahang City is not the Liaodong defenders, but the Goguryeo army under Gao Huanquan. Even if it is lost, Xue Rengui will not feel distressed.

If you are not a soldier under your own hands, why do you feel distressed?It is very worthwhile to let the soldiers under Gao Huanquan go to win such an opportunity.

"If that's the case, we'll need to prepare overnight." Fang Yiai said.

"Well, you and the Marshal will work harder tonight and prepare everything that needs to be prepared. I will set off to lead people to Anshi City tomorrow morning. General Xue is still guarding Liaodong City and taking care of everything." Xuan Shijing said.

"It's better for Lord Hou to stay in Liaodong City and let me take people to Anshi City." Xue Rengui suggested.

"No!" Xuan Shijing immediately refused: "General Xue is now the commander in charge and is in charge of coordinating the overall situation. How can he leave the City Lord's Mansion easily? Moreover, the [-] defenders in Liaodong can all be stopped by General Xue. This battle is said to be a grab for this opportunity. The attack on Dahang City is actually just a test, it is not that important to the overall situation, if we win it, we will make money, if we can't win it, there are other ways."

The so-called way of using troops is to attack the city as the bottom, to attack the mind as the top, and to attack the army. Now their plan has been quietly implemented, and the use of troops is just an outside activity, not the main thing.

If all rely on troops to attack Liaodong City, then when Xuan Shijing comes, he should also bring [-] to [-] soldiers, instead of just bringing [-] elite soldiers to Liaodong, and Su Dingfang of Hebei brought The soldiers went to Weishan, but they were not useful for the time being, and his army was still on the way.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui nodded, "If we can still cover it up, once Dahang City starts fighting, then we will clearly put our purpose in front of Quangai Suwen."

"Sooner or later, there will be such a day, and the navy has already started to act." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded: "General Liu's navy is at sea, not only fighting Goguryeo, but also the restless Baekje. I am afraid that in the future, the two will join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty."

"This is inevitable. The Datang Naval Base is in Beisha City, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Xuan Shijing said.

The entire northern navy of the Tang Dynasty gathered in Beisha City. Naturally, the south of the Qinling Mountains belongs to the south. The southern naval base is in the Suzhou area. The responsibility of the navy there is to supervise the north-south shipping and ensure the waterway of the Tang Dynasty. The transportation is smooth, and there is also a navy in the south, which is stationed in Quanzhou. The waters near Quanzhou are more chaotic. There are sea robbers who often go to the coastal areas to plunder. The duty of the Quanzhou navy is to patrol the sea. Cooperate with government offices in Quanzhou and other places to wipe out water thieves.

The northern navy will not be at a disadvantage in the fight with the joint navy of Goguryeo and Baekje, because the supply base of the navy is very close to the battlefield, and they can easily fight against them whether it is a protracted battle or an encounter. .

Liu Rengui has led the navy for several years. Since the garrison was in Beisha City, the navy has fought no less than a hundred battles. Three years ago, even if the navy was just recruits, three years later they would all be fine. Yes, what are you afraid of?
On the contrary, the Goguryeo water army has been trembling for the past three years. I don’t know when the Datang navy will walk around the door of his house. In addition, the country of Goguryeo is not very stable.

Even if the navy really encountered the coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje, there is no need to be afraid, because two days earlier, half of the batch of gunpowder that Xuan Shijing brought to Liaodong was sent to the navy.

This thing is also a sharp weapon on the sea. The premise is that it must be thrown accurately. If it is thrown into the water, it will be no different from a rock. Once it is thrown into the boat, it will be much more interesting. For those on the boat For a well-trained navy veteran, the hit rate is quite high.

The matter had been decided, so Fang Yiai went back and Marshal Zhao prepared the things Xuan Shijing needed for the expedition overnight. Xuan Shijing didn't bring many people with him, but his own five hundred soldiers each brought three days of dry food, and the others The best is to wait until Anshicheng to make supplies.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Shijing took the five hundred soldiers and galloped towards Anshi City, while Fang Yiai, who stayed in Liaodong City, also sent pigeons to Jin Yiwei in Pyongyang City to let them see the opportunity act.

As for Anshicheng, after Xuan Shijing arrived in Anshicheng, he would explain everything to Gao Huanquan. Anyway, it had been discussed before. Gao Huanquan and the army he led completely obeyed Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing's assignments.

It took less than two days for Xuan Shijing to arrive at Anshi City with five hundred soldiers from the government. After entering Anshi City, it was still dark. Explain it to him.

Gao Huanquan couldn't help but think about it carefully. He also understood the reason for this. Once it was too late, his army would face the [-] defenders of Dahang City. Reaching [-], in this way, they have no chance of winning when they attack the city.

"Your Highness, there is one night of preparation time in Anshi City. No matter it is food, grass and luggage, it needs to be fully prepared within this night. In the early morning of tomorrow, we will have to march for four days to reach the outside of Dahang City. This is also for us. The soldiers in the army should take some time to rest, otherwise even if the army goes outside the city, it will be a tired army and its combat power will be greatly reduced." Xuan Shijing said.

"Since Lord Hou has already made up his mind, everything that will happen next will only be arranged by Lord Hou. As the deputy general, I will follow Lord Hou's instructions." Gao Huanquan said.
