Turbulent Times Chapter 1245: The backbone of everyone
"That's right, no matter which route we enter, we will be besieged by the enemy from all directions." Yuchi Jingde's rare expression became serious.
"Yang Su deserves to be called the number one general in the Sui Dynasty. Only Luoyang City can save Luoyang City." Luo Shixin first learned from Nie Xiaoyu for a few years, and in the past two years of actual combat, his progress is very obvious, and he is completely able to stand alone. This vision alone is already very unique.
Wang Junlin didn't speak, his eyes moved slowly over the city surrounded by black flags around Luoyang City, the others also fell into silence, frowning and thinking, racking their brains to think of a way to break the situation. But apart from what Luo Shixin said just now, it seems that there is no other way to defeat the enemy.
In the end, everyone turned their attention to Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin has always been a creator of miracles. In his hands, the impossible things, the impossible difficulties, and the impossible situations were finally eliminated. For its completion, resolution and destruction, everyone has subconsciously regarded Wang Junlin as the absolute backbone.
"The old thief Yang Su has always been defeated by the prince. One son and two grandsons died at the hands of the prince, and he was forced to fake his death for seven or eight years. Even if he jumped out again, it is not the prince's. Opponent." Luo Shixin said arrogantly.
"That's right, the lord is the nemesis of that old thief Yang Su." It was rare for Shen Guo'er to express her views on such issues, and it could be seen that this sentence was her understanding from the bottom of her heart.
Wang Junlin ignored the crowd, thinking that the generals he recruited, Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai, Guan Xiaotong, Lu Han, Zhang Tiangang and others were only generals or fierce generals, and they didn't have the ability to command at the moment. Yes, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Jing and the guy who is still called Xu Shiji were the recognized commanders. Unfortunately, the latter of these two guys went to Wagang Village, and the former is hiding somewhere. Jump out and do something.
"Guo'er, where are the imperial court reinforcements from Liaodong?" Wang Junlin didn't make a decision right away
No, but ask first.
"I haven't even crossed the Juma River, and the fastest way to go to Luoyang will take about half a month." Shen Guoer thought for a while, and replied: "However, a spies came to report yesterday, and it is said that there is a team consisting entirely of cavalry. The elite imperial army formed, one man and two horses, has already passed Mianchi, a total of 20,000 horses, led by General Wei Wensheng, the emperor's confidant, dug the ancestral grave of Yang Su's family in Huayin along the way. It is said that this can destroy Fengshui, but today Upon receiving the news, Wei Wensheng stopped in Huayin suddenly."
"This person surnamed Wei probably heard that people from various aristocratic families have taken refuge in Yang Su, and they are divided into guarding the cities around Luoyang, so they deliberately hesitated not to come!" Yuchi Jingde said sarcastically .
"I'm afraid it's not only because of this reason, but more because he heard about our arrival, so he wanted to sit back and watch the tiger fight, with the idea of making a profit." Wang Junlin also sneered. As Yang Guang's confidant general, Wei Wensheng still had his own little calculations, not to mention those civil and military officials who came from aristocratic families. To some extent, Yang Guang had already become a loner. It would be a miracle that the Sui Dynasty did not perish. .
"The emperor spent countless money. It is said that Luoyang City was built by more than 70,000 civilians. It is the best city in the world. The city is nearly seven feet high and extremely strong. Unless there are strong enough people in Luoyang City to act as internal support for Yang Su and open the city gate from the inside, but this possibility should not be great." Wang Junlin began to analyze.
"Since we're here, we can't be like that Wei Wensheng, who dug Yang's ancestral grave and made a gesture for the emperor, but didn't go head-on."
"What's more, as you said just now, Yang Su has always been my defeater, and it's the same this time. I will always be his nemesis."
Speaking of which, Wang Junlin looked high-spirited and full of confidence. Finally, he pointed the Dragon Sparrow Knife on the sand table to the northeast of Luoyang, a city by the Yongji Canal, and said solemnly: "Let's go fight Liyang City!" , because Liyang City was the food storage city of the Sui Dynasty, if Yang Su wanted to feed an army of 300,000, he relied on the rations stored in the Liyang warehouse. The most important thing is that this city is located on the periphery
We don't have to worry about being surrounded by the enemy in all directions, but as long as we are not surrounded on all sides and cut off our food and grass supply, even if we face enemies that are several times our size, we have the confidence to defeat them. "
After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "With the importance of Liyang City and because of my arrival, Yang Su will definitely send an elite army to deal with us. As long as we defeat or even annihilate Yang Su's army With the elite army, Yang Su's control over other armies gathered in the later stage will be greatly weakened. Even if the total number of enemy troops does not decrease much, the overall combat effectiveness will also drop a lot. Even if the other reinforcements sent by the emperor have not yet arrived, we will be able to find the enemy's flaws and eat the rebels one by one."
"Moreover, Liyang City is also a city that is most conducive to our army's advantage as a navy."
As Wang Junlin spoke, he pointed to the current location of the army on the map, and then pointed to the three cities of Liyang, Xingyang and Luoyang, and continued: "Liyang City is located in the north of the Yellow River, on the south bank of the Yongji Canal. The important town of food storage is more than 300 miles away from Luoyang where the rebel army is heavily concentrated, and the waterway is very convenient. In addition, the distance between the rebel army under Yang Gongdao who is currently attacking Xingyang City and Liyang is only a little over 200 miles. The south and north of the city are connected by canals. Once the rebels take Xingyang as scheduled, they will definitely be able to reach the battlefield of Liyang within three days through the two waterways of Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal. But in terms of water warfare, who can compare After passing us, immediately send an order to Huang Shaoqiu, asking him to select warships that can reach the Tongji Canal and Buji Canal, and personally lead some sailors to immediately reach the Tongji Canal and Buji Canal waterways, and control the entire Yellow River and Canal waterways in the Central Plains. This plan, everyone What do you think?"
Everyone was very intelligent, and immediately understood Wang Junlin's plan, and nodded their heads in agreement.
Wang Junlin was right. Yang Su would never abandon Li Yangcang, one of the largest granaries in the Sui Dynasty.
If Yang Su could take down Luoyang and hold relatives of hundreds of court officials as hostages before the court reinforcements, including Wang Junlin, rushed to the Yellow River Ferry, then the food in Liyang warehouse would be completely unnecessary.
