Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 370
Yuwen Shuqi's beard trembled wildly, and he raised his hand and slapped the table hard.

"Boy surnamed Luo, don't really think that after a few victories, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Think that when I went to battle to kill the enemy, you **** hadn't been reincarnated yet."

Luo Cheng also clapped his hands heavily again.

"Old man Yuwen, I respect you as a great general. Don't really think that you are rich. It's just that you ate a few more bowls of dry rice and grew older. But at your age, you will live to the end of a dog." In the stomach? Do you really think that you, Grandpa Luo, are easy to bully? Let me tell you, if I dare to beat Yu Wenhuaji until his nose and eyes are swollen, I will still dare to beat you up."

Yu Zhongwen was watching the show with folded arms.

In fact, Yu Zhongwen also looked down on Yu Wenhuaji. His Yu family was one of the Eight Pillar countries back then. As for the Yu Wenshu family, none of the Twelve Generals’ families were members of the Xiongnu Poyetou and the Xianbei Yuwen family. slave.Yu Wenshu old man, if he hadn't bet on Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and done a lot of underworld affairs, how could he have the status he has today.

But this time when the troops left Pyongyang, Yu Wenshu commanded the fifth army from the left, but he only commanded the fourth army from the right. This obviously made Yu Wenshu overwhelm him.

As for the other six generals, they all looked dumbfounded.

A guy like Luo Cheng, who has no hair, dared to take pictures of Yu Wenshu's table.

Jing Yuanheng, Zhang Jin, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong, Zhao Cai, and Cui Hongsheng all forgot to speak out.They are also all generals of the guards, and none of them are around 50 or [-] years old. They have been in the army for most of their lives, but they are very clear that there are military rules in the army. Heavy qualifications.

No matter how good Luo Cheng was at fighting, no matter how much he was admired by the emperor, he was still a boy in his early twenties, and he had to lower his stance in front of their generals.

"I don't believe it anymore, I can't cure you today." Yuwen Shuqi lost his demeanor and went straight to draw his sword.

Luo Cheng's reaction was faster than him. Yu Wenshu's sword had just been drawn halfway, but Luo Cheng had already pulled out the sword and pointed it at Yu Wenshu's chest.

"Old man Yuwen, you first wanted to rob me of the rations of the Fifth Left Army, and now you want to compete with me?"

Seeing that the commotion was outrageous, Yu Zhongwen hurried over to stop it.

"Shicheng, don't mess around."

Luo Cheng laughed and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and put away his sword.

"I still say the same thing, I can take out [-] shi for the army rations, but there is only [-] shi at most, and there are not many. If Yuwen refuses to accept it, he can report to the emperor, but I will ask His Majesty, Yuwen can't even keep his own food, so what qualifications does he have to unify the armies."

After finishing speaking, Luo Cheng flicked his sleeves, "Farewell!"

"Come on, take down this thief for me." Yu Wenhuaji roared angrily.

Yu Zhongwen snorted.

The two coaches disagreed. Although this is Zuo Yijun, none of them dared to force Luo Cheng.Besides, Luo Cheng and his party had all drawn their swords as soon as they left the tent.

Dozens of tough generals, all of them drew their swords, but no one dared to block them.

So, in the end, Yu Wenshu could only watch Luo Cheng take his people away.

"What do you mean?" Yu Wenshu glared at Zhong Wen.

"Mr. Xu, don't get angry. Do you really want to detain Luo Cheng? But have you thought about the consequences? The crossing of the river is imminent, and you mess up first, isn't it a joke. Besides, what if, I In case you caused the Fifth Left Army to mutiny, have you thought about the consequences?"

"They dare!"

"It's hard to say. It is said that the top and bottom of the Left Five Army are quite obedient to Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng has a very high prestige among his subordinates. If there is a mutiny, you and I will not be able to report to His Majesty."

"This old man is mad, crazy, arrogant. Luo Yi is crazy, but this Luo Cheng is ten times more crazy than Luo Yi."

"He has the capital to be crazy, let alone young after all." Yu Zhongwen persuaded.

Although Yu Wenshu calmed down a little bit of anger, the generals were faced with a very difficult problem.

"Even if Luo Cheng is willing to take out 30 shi of grain, our army of more than [-] can't eat for a few days. Now the grain in the hands of each army is less than ten days. Adding [-] shi, we can't eat it for a few days. It doesn't help. Even if Luo Cheng takes out all his military rations, we can feed [-] of us [-] people for a month and a half, and we can eat them in only four or five days."

There are still five hundred miles away from Pyongyang. If there is no delay along the way, it will take five or six days to arrive.

But the problem is that now it's not just about rushing, but about attacking the city.

Or attack a king's capital.

No one can guarantee that the food and grass in their hands for half a month can support them to fight to the bottom of the city of Pyongyang and capture the city of Pyongyang.

"Those bastards actually abandoned so much food along the way." Yu Wenshu scolded. He knew that the soldiers threw food on the road, but he didn't expect that almost all of them were thrown away.

By the Yalu River, the whole army had only ten days' food left.

"When we reach the city of Pyongyang, we can get food from the navy." Yu Wenshu had no choice but to say at last.

However, Yu Zhongwen did not agree with such a risky plan.

"Mr. Xu, if there is any delay on the five hundred miles, our 30 people will run out of food. The army will collapse if there is no food. We are now five hundred miles away from Pyongyang and Liaodong in the back." Hundreds of miles away, there are countless Goguryeo soldiers and horses in the middle, and the consequences of this food shortage are unimaginable."

"So what do you want?" Yu Wenshu was dissatisfied.

Yu Zhongwen asked someone to fetch a map.

"I mean, we have to think about the way forward and retreat now. We can't rush to Pyongyang, that would be too risky. We might as well send our troops down the Yalu River first, capture one or two cities at the mouth of the river, and grab some food first. Urgent, secondly, we can have a shelter if we seize Jiangkou. Moreover, Jiangkou is the seaside. After we capture the city of Jiangkou, we will temporarily guard here, and then send people from the sea to find the navy to get food, let them To transport food, at least one or two months of food is needed before we can attack Pyongyang again, otherwise, it is too risky to go without food, and if one fails, the whole army will be wiped out.”

Yu Zhongwen's plan is relatively mature and prudent.

Now the food of the whole army is enough for half a month, and this still counts the food of Luo Chengzuo's fifth army. Although it is only five or six days away from Pyongyang, what if the enemy soldiers intercept it along the way?
Or reach the city of Pyongyang, unable to attack the city for a while?
Then the navy can't gather in time to provide food?
Too many possibilities would arise, so he was adamant against going so far south.

"But His Majesty's order is that if we slow down, then the navy will fight alone." In the end, Yu Wenshu still insisted on going south immediately.

"What do you generals think?" Yu Wenshu asked the other six generals.

The six generals looked at each other, and after a while, three supported Yu Wenshu and three supported Yu Zhongwen. Basically, the one on the left supported Yu Wenshu, and the one on the right supported Yu Zhongwen.

"It's better to ask General Luo what he means." Seeing that the two sides had half opinions, Yu Zhongwen said.

"It's inconvenient to ask that little thief. Your Majesty had an order earlier, so just follow the plan. General Yu, what do you think?"

On the surface, Yu Wenshu was asking him, but in fact he had put the emperor's will on Zhongwen.

Seeing this, Yu Zhongwen had no choice but to agree with the whole army to continue crossing the south of the Yangtze River.
