Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 327 Jealousy
The fourth one is here, ask for a monthly pass!
Cangyan city lord Wu Yu's request for help was sent to Gaimu city.

The city lord Yang Wanchun watched for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the messenger's face. After staring for a long time, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the messenger to death.

"City Lord?" Everyone exclaimed.

Yang Wanchun pulled out his sword, threw it aside, and said coldly, "Cangyan City has been lost. You can see from this letter that the black-feathered dog thief has already descended to Sui, just like Wen Shan, the lord of Xuantu City."

All the Goguryeo civil and military could not help but feel the thunder rolling past.

"This Luo Cheng took the Sui army and captured Cangyan City after less than half a day from Gaimu City?"

There is also humanity, "Shouldn't Luo Cheng go to fight Xincheng? Why go to fight Cangyan City?"

Compared with the important town of Xincheng, which is more than ten miles around, Cangyan is just a small mountain city, and its location is relatively remote. It has no heavy guards, nor does it have a large stockpile of food, grass and military equipment. Cangyan City is also meaningless.

Some people think that Yang Wanchun made a wrong judgment.

Luo Chengcheng is powerful, how can he have such ability to take Cangyan City?With his marching speed, at most he had just arrived at Cangyan City. No matter how spineless Wu Yu was, he wouldn't be able to defend for a moment, or just waiting for Luo Cheng to surrender.

"City Master, what if Cangyan City has not surrendered?"

Yang Wanchun sneered a few times, "Wu Yu is timid and cowardly, who doesn't know? He was just a civil servant and didn't know anything about soldiers. Now there are only a thousand old and weak in Cangyan City, how can he guard? Another one, he and Xuan Tu The city lord, Wen Shan, is a good friend, and he returned from the same sect as his teacher, if Wen Shan can descend, Wu Yu will definitely be able to descend too."

"One more thing, if Wu Yu really hasn't surrendered, do you think that if Luo Cheng really wants to lead an army of [-] to encircle Cangyan City, there is still a chance for Wu Yu to be sent a letter of help?"

"Therefore, there is only one possibility. Wu Yu has already surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. This letter asking for help is fake. It is actually trying to lure us out of the city to help, and then ambush us halfway. I will never be fooled by this. Send the order, without my order, No one should come out of town to save them."

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Especially the officers of Cangyan City felt that this decision was too hasty.

"Or, send someone over to investigate."

Other concerns were raised, however.

"City Lord, although Cangyan City has few small soldiers and does not have a large amount of food, grass and military equipment, this mountain city was originally guarding a side road from Xuantu City to the new city. Although Gaimu City is strong now, if Cangyan is destroyed, then Luo Cheng It is no longer blocked by us on the way back. From Cangyan to Xuantu, it is only sixty miles away, and it does not pass under our Gaimu City. Luo Cheng occupies Cangyan City, so he can bypass our Gaimu City and attack directly. In the new city, its grain roads and back roads are also smooth."

This is indeed a problem.

The purpose of Cangyan City's existence is to guard this side road. It can be said that if Gaimu City is the west gate of the new city, then Cangyan City is a northwest side gate.

Although the main door is still there, the side door has already been opened.

Luo Cheng now not only has a large amount of food, grass, and military equipment in Xuantu City, but also has the dangerous mountain city of Cangyan City, and has also won an important passage.

"Cangyan City must be taken back!" An officer shouted.

Yang Wanchun gave him a blank look.

"What do you want to take? This season is not a good season to attack the city. What's more, Luo Cheng's army is strong now, and relying on the danger of the mountain city, to capture Cangyan City, unless there are tens of thousands of people, and then cut off the connection between Cangyan City and Xuantu City." , Surround him for a year or so, otherwise, stop talking about taking back Cangyan City."

But these few conditions, they do not have now, so to recapture Cangyan City is actually nonsense.

In the end, it was difficult for Luo Cheng to seize Cangyan, but the problem was that Yuan Jiantu had mobilized the defenders of Cangyan City several times before. Up to now, Cangyan City is not only weak and unable to defend, but also Xincheng, Gaimu and other cities. Unable to support, this gave Luo Cheng an opportunity.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Wanchun finally had to say, "Now Gaimu City has lost its important role of shielding the new city. I plan to leave 5000 troops to continue to garrison Gaimu City. I will bring 7000 troops back to the new city to garrison. No matter what, the new city will not allow There is a loss. If the new city is lost, then I will be completely unable to defend the northeastern part of Goguryeo."

In Cangyan City.

Luo Cheng, Wei Zheng and others were studying the map.

"After Yang Wanchun received the letter, he had only three choices. First, he really brought troops to help Cangyan City. Second, he couldn't see through it. Third, he led troops to reinforce the new city."

"Tell me, how do we deal with it?"

Siye is still a straightforward way of thinking, "Wu Yu said that there are only [-] defenders left in the new city. I think we can take a risk and attack the new city directly."

"It's too risky. Although there are few soldiers in the new city, the city is strong, food and equipment are sufficient, and there are many people in the city. At any time, thousands of young and strong can be called to defend the city. Let's kill them. There is no siege equipment. For Jiancheng, there may not be any good solution. If Yang Wanchun from Gaimucheng kills us, we will still suffer."

Luo Cheng doesn't like to suffer.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a very good military book, but in this book, it is not about all kinds of strange strategies, it is not about defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the strong with the few. On the contrary, Sun Tzu's Art of War starts with calculations Not a trick.

Sun Tzu advocated that when fighting a war, you have to fight the real battle, that is, you need to calculate more before fighting, first calculate the winning rate, how to increase the winning rate, and fight when the winning rate reaches a certain level. If the winning rate is too low, then don't fight at all.

I always think about taking the slant of the sword. Although there are occasional successes, more often than not, I still fail.Now is not the time of last resort, Luo Cheng, who has tens of thousands of horses with him, will not easily put himself in such a dangerous place.

"For important cities like Xincheng, Liaodong, and Fuyu, let's wait until the armies from all walks of life arrive. We are just pioneers, and we are not here to attack. There is no need to take this risk."

Wei Zheng said, "Gaimu City may come to aid Cangyan, or it may go to defend the new city, so there is a high probability that it will leave the city, and we may be able to intercept and ambush on the road."

However, Cangyan City is in the north of Gaimu, and Xincheng is in the east of Gaimu. This ambush can only be one of the two.

"You said that if Gaimu City sent troops, which side would it choose?"

"It's hard to say, not out, out of Cangyan, out of Xincheng, it's all possible."

"But if we ambush, we can only choose one of the three, it is impossible to ambush in three ways."

······
dark.

Three Forks River Camp.

Yuwen Chengdu came back covered in wind and frost.

"Father."

"Chengdu is back, what happened to Luo thief? But he returned without success?"

"Returning to Yifu, Luo Cheng led the army to Gaimu City, but Gaimu City had already been prepared. Luo Cheng sent troops to attack the city, killing and injuring more than a hundred, and retreated in vain."

Yu Wenhuaji laughed out loud when he heard this, "I already knew that this Luo thief really thought he was omnipotent, so he must be at a disadvantage now, hahaha."

Yuwen Chengdu waited for him to laugh enough before saying, "Father, Luo Cheng led his army to go around Gaimu after he failed in Gaimu City. Then, he swung his troops and turned to the north to raid Cangyan City. Cangyan City Lord When they surrendered in Kaicheng, Luo Chengbing captured Cangyan City without bloodshed, and now the whole army is stationed in Cangyan City."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Yu Wenhua's face was terribly blue, and his eyes were wide open.

The next moment, Yu Wenhua started smashing the things in the account like crazy, hysterical.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible!"

"Father!"

Yu Wencheng waited until he was almost done venting before going over to hug him.

"I lost troops in Dadonggou. It's fine for Luo Cheng to come here to pick up the leaks and grab the merits. Now, why should he win another city, why?"
